Ancient Aliens s19e09 Episode Script

1
Terrifying encounters
at 40,000 feet.
So I kind of looked
over my left shoulder,
and there’s this
bright light in our face.
It’s a pulsating orb.
Look at that, dude.
Look at that.
Pilot accounts of UFOs
taking control
of their aircraft.
Goes to move the yoke,
and the yoke is
moving on itself.
If it climbs any further,
it will stall out.
And entire jumbo jets
disappearing into thin air.
How do you have a commercial
airliner just vanish?
Since the dawn of aviation,
pilots have experienced
unexplainable events in the sky.
Is it possible that
what they have witnessed
are aliens in our airspace?
When
you have thousands of pilots
coming forward with encounters
that they’ve witnessed
up in the sky,
with so-called UFOs,
I think we should
pay more attention
to what these pilots
have been saying.
There is a doorway
in the universe.
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
It demands
we question everything
we have ever been taught.
The evidence is all around us.
The future is
right before our eyes.
We are not alone.
We have never been alone.
In 2017, The New York
Times broke the story
of the U.S. government’s
secret investigations
into unexplained
aerial phenomena.
And in the years that followed,
a number of
sensational UFO videos
have been released,
or leaked, to the public.
Nearly all of the footage
was recorded by cameras
mounted on U.S. Navy
fighter jets.
The videos captured the public’s
imagination like
no other UFO images
that had come before them
But Navy pilots are not alone
in witnessing unidentified
flying objects.
For decades, shocking encounters
have been reported
by non-military,
civilian pilots.
UAP sightings by
commercial airline pilots
are a lot more commonplace
than what we generally think of.
We’ve seen a lot of
the footage from the military,
but we’re actually
getting a lot more reports
from our civilian pilots.
There are more civilian
pilots than military pilots.
And you have
an exponentially
larger amount of flights
with commercial airlines
than you do with
military airplanes.
Japan Airlines Flight 1628
is carrying cargo
from Paris, France
to Narita International
Airport near Tokyo.
The three-person crew
is led by Captain
Kenju Terauchi,
an ex-fighter pilot with over
10,000 hours of flight time.
As the 747 approaches Anchorage,
Captain Terauchi
notices two strange lights
out of his cockpit window.
It’s dark. It’s, uh, very
early morning. Before sunrise.
These lights are
clearly maneuvering.
They are, in relationship
to each other,
one is on top of the other,
and they move directly
in front of his aircraft.
Now, he’s flying at
about 500 miles per hour.
These things are pacing him.
Captain Terauchi
realizes the lights
are strange oval-shaped
flying objects,
and they are getting dangerously
close to his aircraft.
As bright lights
fill the cockpit,
Captain Terauchi radios
the Anchorage Air
Traffic Control Center
and asks if they can identify
the objects near his plane.
As Terauchi attempts
a series of evasive maneuvers
to avoid a potential collision,
the two UFOs suddenly disappear.
In their place
is another object.
One so large, it dwarfs the 747.
His words for describing it
were, "gigantic spaceship
the size of maybe
two aircraft carriers."
Just immense.
Tarauchi sees this
massive thing in the sky,
and he’s scared.
Concerned by Captain
Terauchi’s report,
the air traffic controller
calls NORAD,
the North American
Aerospace Defense Command,
based at Elmendorf
Air Force Base in Anchorage.
Communication specialists
at the airbase
confirm that there is a very
large unidentified object
on their radar screens.
Traffic control told them
that they could actually
take whatever evasive
actions they needed to,
to avoid collision,
and they even dropped
down to 4,000 feet
above sea level,
and the thing continued
to follow them.
Air traffic control
diverted another
commercial flight to
come look at this UFO.
And by the time they got there,
the UFO was completely gone.
One of the reasons
why the J.A.L. report is
such a big deal is because
the corroborating
evidence is overwhelming.
Not only were there
eyewitness reports,
but there’s the records of
the communication systems
that Terauchi was in touch with,
actual dialogue that happened.
"Hey, we are up here.
We see this. Are you guys
seeing this on your radar?"
All this stuff is recorded.
Once safely grounded,
Captain Terauchi, his copilot
and flight engineer
were immediately interviewed
by Alaska Federal Aviation
Administration officials
and other special agents.
There’s an FAA
investigation into this.
There’s lots of documentation.
There’s no real, hard
and fast conclusion about this.
And so, the pilot,
perhaps out of frustration,
talks to the media.
In December 1986,
one month after the encounter,
Captain Terauchi
contacted Kyodo News
and said he believed
the mysterious crafts
were of extraterrestrial origin.
The unauthorized statements
prompted Japan
Airlines officials
to remove Captain Terauchi
from pilot duty,
and assign him to a desk job.
Around the same time,
John Callahan,
the FAA’s division chief
of the Accidents
and Investigations branch.
learned of the incident
and deemed it
worthy of investigation.
John Callahan
went to D.C. about this,
and there was a meeting
that was chaired by
one of the top
people of the FAA.
This meeting was also attended
by representatives of the FBI,
representatives of the CIA
and representatives of
President Reagan’s White House.
They had audiotapes
that were played,
between the pilot
and air traffic control,
describing everything
that was happening,
and written reports.
And at the end of the meeting,
one of the CIA, uh, agents
stood up and said,
"This meeting never happened,
"and we’re confiscating
all of the data
that has been, uh, shared here."
Now, Callahan,
he was a little sly,
but he was within his rights.
"They never asked me,"
he said, "if I had a copy
of any of this myself," he said.
"Which I did."
He had a copy of the audio
recordings, if nothing else.
And a little over
a decade later,
shared that with the public.
John Callahan came away
with the feeling
that there was
essentially a kind of coverup.
The FAA didn’t want the fact
that this incident
had occurred to get out.
I’ve spoken to pilots
who have seen
amazing things out there,
but never report it
because of the fear
of being disbelieved,
being ridiculed, and
perhaps, being grounded.
You won’t be flying anymore.
So, what do they say?
Most times, nothing.
You have countless commercial
and private airline pilots
who spend an exorbitant
amount of time up in the sky.
And, in my opinion,
I think they’re the best people
to discern what is natural
and what is not.
As far as ancient
astronaut theorists
are concerned,
UFO encounters
reported by civilian pilots
provide some of the
most compelling evidence
that there is an
extraterrestrial presence
in the skies above Earth.
And, according to some pilots,
what they’ve witnessed presents
a serious danger.
For ancient astronaut theorists,
UFO sightings reported by pilots
are particularly intriguing,
because while accounts of
strange phenomena in the sky
date back millennia,
it is only in the past century
that humans have had
an aerial vantage point.
For thousands of years,
we could only observe
things in the sky
from the ground,
but in the last hundred
or so years,
we’ve had the ability to fly.
And so now we’re up
in the sky ourselves.
We can discern natural
phenomena from powered craft.
Thousands of pilots
have reported observing
phenomena in the sky that do
not resemble any weather anomaly
or man-made aircraft
they’ve ever encountered.
Such was the case
with Captain Erik Delgado,
who served as an Air Force
pilot for ten years
before being hired
to fly for FedEx in 2001.
On the evening
of March 20, 2020,
Captain Delgado
departed from Mexico City
in a Boeing 767
bound for Memphis, Tennessee.
One hour into the flight,
Delgado noticed something
strange in the distance.
Usually when we get
to altitude, we’ll relax.
I was conversing
with my first officer,
and as I’m looking at him,
his eyes got really big
and, uh, his mouth
kind of dropped.
And I’m like, what
the hell is this guy looking at?
And he goes, "Look at
the shooting star,"
and he stops, never-never
finished the word, "Star."
And so I kind of looked
over my left shoulder,
and if you can, uh, imagine
a lighthouse in thin fog,
kind of just
a-a spotlight, sort of,
that just kind of came
over us, and I thought,
"Oh, my God,
it’s another airplane,
"and he’s got
a vector toward us.
What’s this clown doing?"
I grabbed the throttles,
gripping it with a death grip.
I was getting ready to
disconnect the autopilot.
And I’m looking at the screen,
realizing there’s
nothing on the screen.
Delgado immediately
used his digital camera
to record the astonishing sight.
Within minutes of the sighting,
the orb moved towards the plane
at a high rate of speed,
then suddenly stopped short.
My heart was racing still.
Speed doesn’t kill, you know?
Deceleration, stopping,
that’s what kills you.
And the fact that this
thing stopped like that,
if there were
somebody inside there,
you know, um,
our conventional laws
of physics and stopping,
they wouldn’t have
survived the g-forces,
to come to a stop like that.
The UAP flew alongside
Delgado’s aircraft
at an astonishing
500 miles per hour,
and yet there was no sign
of a propulsion system.
This thing was
parked on our wingtip,
about a thousand, 2,000 feet,
and it didn’t move.
With your naked eye, it was just
bright, dim, bright, dim.
And it was very cyclic.
It didn’t waver,
it was the same.
And you look through the camera,
and now you could
see features in a shape.
The object continued to track
Delgado’s aircraft
for nearly 30 miles.
This thing started rotating,
and started changing colors
and it started taking off.
And so, I’m zooming in
as fast as I could.
This thing took off with
pretty good velocity.
After making a safe landing,
Delgado shared his videos with
air operations center personnel,
even though his
copilot was reluctant
to file an official report.
There was still a stigma,
behind the whole thing.
You know, are they
gonna ground us?
Are they gonna ask
for our medical, you know?
Are we gonna
have to go see somebody?
So, I could understand
where he was coming from.
In recent years,
we’ve seen military pilots
being encouraged to come forward
and talk about
things they’ve seen.
The same has not necessarily
always extended
to commercial pilots
because there isn’t an interest
in collecting information
from those pilots
the same as there would be
with military pilots,
where in the interest
of national security,
if you see something,
say something.
But traditionally,
when commercial pilots
contacted the FAA,
they have been told,
"Hey, you need to talk
to civilian UFO researchers,"
or they don’t actually
have a clear idea
of where else they can
even log those reports.
So it’s a very
different situation.
Captain Delgado decided
not to give the video
to the FAA, and instead,
turned it over to
the National Aviation Reporting
Center on Anomalous Phenomena,
or NARCAP,
a civilian organization
made up of volunteers
who investigate
unidentified aerial sightings.
They concluded that
the glowing object
was consistent with that
of an exotic craft
with a plasma exterior that
could disrupt radar signals.
I think I saw some
intelligent anomaly.
It’s amazing, I-I’d like to know
more of the science
and the physics
behind what I was
looking at, maybe.
But, you know,
see the footage and-and
form your own opinions.
Things need to change,
because pilots should
be at the forefront
of being free enough
to come forward
to report what they saw.
The FAA has never conducted
an official investigation
into pilot Delgado’s incident.
But would they take
notice if a UFO sighting
affected an entire airport?
A ramp employee for
United Airlines Flight 446
spots a metallic
saucer-shaped object
hovering over gate C-17,
between 1,000 and 1,900
feet in the air.
Within minutes,
federal authorities
receive nearly a dozen
panicked phone calls
from airport personnel.
Here you have pilots,
here you have
people working at the airport,
and civilians going to
get on their flights,
all witness a UFO hovering
directly over one of
the gates at the airport.
This UFO was
cylindrical in shape.
It was metallic.
Witnesses estimated the object
to be between 16
and 24 feet in diameter.
Suddenly, this thing
just accelerates vertically,
and punches a hole
through the cloud.
Everyone’s staggered by this.
Now, there is
a meteorological phenomenon
called a "hole punch cloud."
But that doesn’t really
fit with the idea
that there was
this metallic craft
hovering before this happened.
A hole punch cloud
is a real phenomena,
but the weather
conditions needed
to produce a hole punch cloud
weren’t there that day.
They weren’t there that day.
And so that explanation
doesn’t make any sense at all.
The Chicago Tribune,
they end up filing
a Freedom of
Information Act request
with the FAA, and, lo and
behold, they get a recording.
So we have a United
Airlines supervisor
on the phone with the FAA
controller using the word "UFO."
So, once again,
we have a scenario
where the FAA,
and we have United
Airlines personnel,
in this case, saying
there’s nothing to see here,
but, in fact, there was.
Is it possible
the U.S. government
has been concealing evidence
about UAP sightings
near our airports?
According to UFO researchers,
it would fit
a disturbing pattern
of ignoring what many
believe are serious threats
to the millions of people
who travel the skies every day.
Threats that are
surprisingly well-documented
and sometimes even
caught on tape.
For decades, civilian
pilots have been frustrated
by the Federal
Aviation Administration’s
refusal to
investigate encounters
between commercial airlines
and unidentified flying objects.
Skeptics argue that these
encounters lack hard data
like telemetry, radar
and audio recordings
that would warrant
an investigation.
But there have, in fact,
been numerous incidents
where viable evidence
has been collected,
including an event
involving two aircraft
travelling over
the state of Arizona.
In 2018, flying over Arizona,
you’ve got a Learjet, you’ve
got an American Airlines jet,
and something
zips over the Learjet,
right over top.
And they immediately call ATC.
Radar tower says,
"We don’t see anything.
We don’t know
what the heck it is."
And so, the radar tower
calls the American Airlines jet
behind that plane, and says
"Hey, look out for a second.
Object should
be coming your way."
The pilot of
the American Airlines jet
initially responds
requesting clarification.
Then, just moments later,
the American Airlines
pilot radios back
to air traffic control.
This incident is significant
because there
are audio recordings
of the whole incident,
and the pilots actually
use the word, "UFO,"
when they’re talking
to the control tower.
According to researchers,
the Arizona encounter
was never openly
investigated by the government,
despite the evidence
presented in the recordings
between the two pilots
and air traffic control.
Neither was another incident,
this one so serious,
it required a call
to the U.S. Air Force.
The Oregon coast.
October 25, 2017.
A radar operator
spots a fast-moving
unidentified object in
a busy commercial flight path.
There were no pilots involved
in that initial reporting.
It was just a tower
controller and a
and a radar center operator,
and they’re going
back and forth.
The radar operator
contacts air traffic control
in Seattle, Washington.
The object has no call sign.
It has no transponder.
It’s not communicating.
What is this object?
Pilots in the air start
picking it up visually.
Multiple pilots from
multiple airlines
flying both north
and south up the coast.
And they see this
huge white object
moving extremely fast
at 37,000 feet.
The pilots could
see a white light
that was coming at them
and moving around,
and they reported it
to the control tower
and the pilot said that
it was moving erratically.
This object was a little bit
too close for comfort.
And so they tried
to communicate with it.
All the things that this
object should have given off
if it was an authorized
aircraft, a U.S. aircraft,
a commercial aircraft,
weren’t there.
It was just silent.
And so the military
scrambled two F-15 fighters
to go intercept this thing.
- Now, you don’t do that lightly.
- This is a big call.
This is the sort of thing
that you do on
a 9/11 type event.
So, what happened?
Why did they take
this one so seriously
that a fighter interceptor
was sent up to try
and take a look?
The F-15s race
to intercept the UFO,
but this proves more
difficult than expected.
Once the jets were on their way,
this UFO suddenly shot off
in a different direction,
and was very fast,
and was able to make
these quick turns,
and at very high speeds.
At one point,
this object changes direction.
It’s flying southbound,
and then turns
and goes northbound.
So, the F-15 fighters,
they go there
and at the last minute,
as best anyone can guess,
turns and zips out
over the Pacific Ocean.
Observers are shocked
that F-15s, among
the nation’s fastest
and most sophisticated
fighter jets, are unable
to catch up with
the mysterious object.
What’s great about this
is the audiotapes,
which were released via
the Freedom of Information Act.
When you hear
the process happen,
from initial sighting
to the scrambling
of military jets,
it’s fascinating
to hear that happen.
"What should we do?"
It goes to the Air Force,
it goes to NORAD.
It’s there and seen by
so many, and then it’s gone.
These two incidents
are considered
to be among a multitude
of reports where analyzable
data, including radar,
radio transmissions,
telemetry and
eyewitness accounts,
offer compelling evidence
of unidentified
aerial phenomena.
Yet, to the public’s knowledge,
these dangerous encounters
have never been
investigated by the government.
UFO experts believe
the flying public
is at significant risk,
and as evidence,
point to a mysterious case
where a pilot experienced
his worst nightmare
10,000 feet in the air.
Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
May 3, 1975.
After dropping off passengers
at this seaport town
on the Pacific Coast,
pilot Carlos de los Santos
embarks on a return trip
to Mexico City
in his Piper PA-24 Comanche.
The weather
conditions are clear,
and visibility is good,
as De los Santos
cruises at 10,000 feet.
One hour into the flight,
he witnesses something unusual.
A gray, wingless object off
the left side of his plane.
As he approaches Mexico City,
he notices, basically,
a small flying saucer
just above his left wing.
It’s not as large
as his aircraft,
and he’s flying
a fairly small aircraft.
And he’s like, "What is this?"
And then he looks over to his
right and he sees another one.
And then he looks ahead of them,
and there’s one coming at him.
It goes below his aircraft,
and he feels a bump
under his aircraft.
And he’s scared out of his mind.
Anyone would be.
But he then realizes
that he’s not really
in control of his aircraft.
His aircraft is moving in a way
that seems to respond to
these objects, not to him.
He goes to move the yoke,
and the yoke
is moving on itself.
The plane starts climbing
to 3,000 meters.
That’s the ceiling of the Piper.
If it climbs any further,
it will stall out.
He will lose control.
The plane will
fall out of the sky.
He’s actually becoming afraid
because his cabin’s
not pressurized.
You get to a certain altitude,
he’s gonna have
a hard time breathing.
The theory is that the UFO
that came under the plane,
took control of his plane,
and the UFO’s own
magnetic envelope
is lifting the plane higher
and higher and higher.
De los Santos is in a panic.
He’s giving Mayday calls.
He’s telling them,
"There are these
"unidentified objects
at my wingtips,
and below me, and
I don’t know what to do."
As the private plane races
towards a mountainous area,
the three UAPs disengage
from Carlos’s plane
and veer off toward
the Mount Popocatépetl volcano
at lightning speed.
As the objects
disappear from sight,
Carlos regains control
of the plane.
But he quickly realizes
his ordeal isn’t over.
He can’t initiate
his landing gear
because of the impact
that one of these objects
made on his aircraft.
He has to circle around
the airport about ten times.
And he uses a screwdriver
to push the lever
to get his, uh,
landing gear to come down,
and he successfully
lands his aircraft.
It’s kind of
an amazing thing there.
So, he lands his aircraft.
And the story doesn’t end here.
Now he would’ve
had his whole career,
reputation ruined,
probably, with this,
except for the fact that
Mexican air traffic control
tracked these objects also,
and this came
out to support him.
This story became a huge
news story in Mexico.
Didn’t really make much
impact in the United States,
but it was a very big
story in Mexico.
Years later, De los Santos
revealed that in the
aftermath of the event,
he was twice approached
by mysterious figures
warning him not to speak
about his experience.
The first occasion
was just before
he was scheduled
to be interviewed
by a Mexican television station.
The second happened when
De los Santos was set to meet
with the famous UFO
investigator, J. Allen Hynek.
Hynek was into the case.
A lot of people
were following this case.
And just before he was going to
meet with Hynek at some hotel,
he gets another
encounter from, um,
one of these men in black,
these tall, pasty,
white-skinned guys
who warned him,
don’t talk about this.
He was threatened.
And he did actually
stop talking about this
for a little while after that.
But as time went by,
he-he’s talked about it.
It’s just one of
the most incredible
aviation UAP stories
that you’re ever gonna hear,
and he got out of it alive.
Pilot Carlos de los Santos
ultimately emerged
from his harrowing
midair encounter unscathed,
but similar confrontations
between civilian planes and UFOs
have led to tragic consequences,
including injuries, crashes
and even loss of life.
The National
UFO Reporting Center,
or NUFORC, has counted
at least 100 cases in the U.S.
where flight safety was impaired
because of close calls with
unidentified aerial phenomena.
And in at least one incident,
it appears a collision
with a UFO
caused fatal results.
Former NYPD pilot and flight
instructor Thomas Preziose
departs from
Mobile Downtown Airport,
piloting a single-engine Cessna
with the call sign
"Night Ship 282."
The story of Night Ship 282
is quite alarming.
A Hollywood script writer
couldn’t come up with this one.
We have a NYPD pilot,
a freight hauler,
very experienced
flight instructor
hauling documents
from Mobile, Alabama
up north to Montgomery.
Routine flight.
Due to poor visibility,
Preziose was flying
by his instruments.
Just one minute into the flight,
he spotted something
in the distance,
and immediately
radioed air traffic control.
He saw what looked like
another plane in the sky,
was just confirming that
that was another plane up there.
And then all of a sudden,
he’s alarmed.
He’s panicked.
Something is coming at him.
This pilot sees
an object in front of him
on a collision course
with his plane.
What does he do?
He radios a request
for permission to deviate.
"I must deviate,
I must deviate,"
he says over the radio.
He deviates.
Silence.
The transmission goes dead.
Five minutes after takeoff,
Night Ship 282 crashes
into Big Bateau Bay.
Tragically, Thomas Preziose
is killed on impact.
When investigators
from The National
Transportation Safety Board,
or NTSB, arrive at the scene,
they discover
parts of the Cessna
scattered over an area
of nearly 200 yards.
The plane is not
just demolished,
it’s almost vaporized.
Something obviously
hit the plane.
The props are damaged,
the wings are damaged,
the fuselage is damaged.
Wholesale damage inside
the mechanics of the airplane.
It becomes apparent
he has collided
with something in midair.
A midair collision
of such extreme force
would naturally send two
wrecks spiraling to the ground.
But an extensive search
of the area
produced only one aircraft.
No other wreckage
was ever found.
No other craft which would’ve
presumably done this.
The most bizarre thing about
this is that there are these
strange red markings
all over parts of the aircraft.
These red markings have not
been identified,
as far as I can tell.
And they’re in a variety
of places of the aircraft.
The NTSB suggested
that whatever it hit
was this color red or had
this red coating on it,
and when it hit, it rubbed
off on this guy’s craft.
They also found pieces
of metal in the wings
that didn’t belong to the plane.
Various pieces of metal were
imbedded in the crashed plane
that weren’t part of that plane.
So, something metal,
something red.
But at the end of
the day, a mystery.
Clearly, this is one
of the rare occasions
where there was a collision
that obliterated a plane,
killed the pilot, and the FAA,
the aviation authorities and
the investigations that followed
could not explain it,
and to this day,
cannot explain it.
You have to wonder
if this incident,
which caused the death
of the pilot,
wasn’t also some
extraterrestrial incident
where, perhaps, a flying
saucer or other craft
hit this plane,
or the plane itself
hit the craft.
For UFO researchers,
the tragic case
of Thomas Preziose
raises the question:
Is it possible that there
have been other fatal collisions
with UFOs that have
gone unreported?
Or happened before the pilot
could radio air traffic control?
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
it is a question
worth investigating
given the number
of highly unusual encounters
pilots have started
sharing with the public.
And while the FAA
continues to
dismiss such reports,
another government agency,
one focused on outer space,
is taking notice of possible
extraterrestrial activity
on Earth.
In recent years,
more and more pilots
are coming forward
to say that unidentified
aerial phenomena
pose a serious risk
to the flying public.
The Federal Aviation
Administration, however,
continues to
downplay the danger.
The FAA is
all about flight safety,
and yet, they don’t accept UFO
or UAP reports from civilians.
The FAA is essentially
telling you, civilian,
"I don’t care
what you’ve encountered,
"and we don’t have to
keep statistics on it,
"and we, therefore,
"don’t have to do anything about
this impossible phenomenon,
which we don’t know
what we could do."
The FAA does not want
civilians reporting UFOs
because they don’t want
the public stirring the pot.
This is something
that could, in theory,
become actionable through
FOIA requests, for example.
You can have a civilian
saying, "I’d like to know
how many civilians are
reporting UFOs to the FAA."
And then what do they do?
How many thousands of reports
are they going to be releasing?
They don’t want to
get into that at all.
I think it goes to this idea,
not of air traffic safety,
but not wanting
to alarm the public.
But now that the U.S. government
is paying serious attention
to UAP encounters
reported by military pilots,
at least one agency
is ready to listen
to civilian pilots as well,
and to the surprise of many,
it is America’s
top space agency:
NASA.
In October 2022,
NASA assembled a team
of 16 scientists and experts
for a first-of-its-kind
investigation
into unidentified
aerial phenomena.
In order to collect new data,
the space agency also announced
it is taking over management
of the Aviation
Safety Reporting System,
or ASRS,
a public service website
that encourages pilots
to submit anonymous reports
regarding UAP sightings.
NASA has something now called
the Aviation
Safety Reporting System.
And this is a mechanism
whereby pilots can report
UFO sightings anonymously,
if they choose.
And it says on the website,
this is non-punitive.
"We will not
come after you for this.
There’s no comeback,
just make your report."
It suggests to me that there’s
something else out there.
NASA knows about it,
and they want to
know more about it.
And so they are, sort of,
surreptitiously saying,
"We’ll listen to your story now.
"We’re collecting a database now
of what is happening
in our skies,"
and so that is why I think NASA
is ultimately taking
the lead on this.
People are saying, why NASA?
Why not the FAA?
Does it perhaps tie in
with the fact that NASA
is now studying UFOs?
Or is it maybe an indication,
an intriguing clue
that a lot of the incidents
of most import
happen in the real
upper atmosphere,
where we are going into space.
I-I don’t know,
but that’s in a sense,
that’s not the point.
The point is we now have
this receptive environment
into which pilots can finally
speak out about the UFOs
that they are seeing
on a very frequent basis.
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
encouraging commercial
pilots to come forward
with their stories may
finally provide critical proof
that civilian aircraft
do, in fact,
encounter UAPs in our skies.
There’s a deep history
of UFO sightings.
And the obvious
threat to aviation
is becoming more
and more prevalent.
We have to start
taking these reports
incredibly seriously because
pilots, crews and passengers
could be at risk.
I challenge anybody
to take anything you have
and put it out there.
Don’t hesitate,
because maybe you’re
gonna open the door
to-to bigger and better
things for mankind.
As more civilian
pilots come forward
to report their encounters with
unidentified aerial phenomena,
will it be revealed
that such incidents
occur far more often
than we would ever imagine?
And if so, could bringing
these incidents to light
also bring us one step closer
to learning the truth about just
who, or what,
has been occupying our airspace
for thousands of years?
Perhaps one day soon,
the strange craft in our skies
will descend to Earth,
and when they do,
we will know for certain
that we are not alone.
