Ancient Aliens s21e08 Episode Script
The Glowing Orb Phenomenon
Across the globe,
reports of Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena are on the rise.
But none are more mysterious
or more prevalent
than the accounts
of glowing orbs.
We don't know what orbs are.
But we have video
of orb-like phenomena
around the world.
Their movements frequently
defy the laws of physics.
You'll suddenly see
an orb appear,
and it starts to move
in one direction
and then, it will disappear.
And now orbs are even
being reported
near military bases, ships
and nuclear weapon facilities.
Just what are
these glowing orbs?
And more importantly, what
are they doing in our airspace?
I think it's highly important
that we investigate these orbs
because even the U.S. military
has come forward and said,
"By the way, this is not ours."
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.
Starting in mid-November,
people throughout the state
begin to witness
an unsettling phenomenon
when they see strange lights
and giant drones
in the skies above.
With no country
or organization claiming
responsibility
for these mysterious aircraft,
residents were perplexed
by what they saw.
Some of these drones were
described as being large,
the size of a car,
and some of them were
moving around
doing strange,
right-angle turns,
extraordinary speeds
and maneuvers.
People were wondering,
does some of this belong to
an enemy of the United States?
Or could this be
extraterrestrials?
Nobody knew, but everyone
was talking about it
the media, the public.
They were very concerned.
In January 2025,
the U.S. government
finally put out a statement
claiming that the drones were
authorized by the FAA
to conduct some type
of unspecified research.
But for ufologists,
a much bigger mystery
than the drones are
the strange lights
that were seen
along with them
that looked like glowing orbs.
These things were quite
different, obviously not drones.
Smaller, spherical,
sometimes staying
stationary for hours
and then shooting off
at high speed.
Now, that's not an aircraft.
That's not
a bright star or planet.
That-that kind of movement,
that's something else.
But what exactly are
these so-called "glowing orbs"?
We don't know what orbs are.
They're unidentified
and they're anomalous.
And they're some kind
of phenomena,
so they fit
in this broader UAP category.
UAP is Unidentified
Anomalous Phenomena.
That's the big category.
But orb is a specific subset.
Orbs tend to be
more of a light phenomenon.
They are very distinct
from these, you know,
larger metallic craft
that we call UFOs.
Glowing orbs are
one of the most fascinating
and probably least understood
elements of the UFO
or now UAP phenomenon.
In fact, it's really better
to refer to them as UAP
because they truly are.
They're not unidentified
flying objects.
They really are unidentified
anomalous phenomenon.
Orbs can be varied in size
from anything as small
as like a baseball.
Sometimes quite a bit larger.
They can be bright white,
they can be gold and yellowish,
glowing orange to red.
There's greens, there's blues.
They can hover
for a long period of time,
practically motionless,
and then they can move
very suddenly,
almost instant acceleration,
just like a UFO would do.
These luminous balls of light
that are often seen,
appear to be
intelligently controlled.
There doesn't appear to be
any real technical device,
meaning nuts and bolts.
Think of a, like a plasma ball,
a luminous ball of light
that seems to be able
to operate and maneuver
under some sort of guidance.
These orbs now have been seen
by huge swaths of the population
and the civilian population,
and in fact,
all around the world.
It's a global phenomenon.
There has been a large increase
in sightings of UFOs
and especially of orbs
and people are
capturing it on film.
With the pervasiveness
of cell phones with cameras,
it's getting increasingly harder
to deny their existence.
But it's not just civilians
who are reporting sightings
of strange glowing orbs.
According to former intelligence
officer Luis Elizondo,
there have been
numerous encounters
between orbs and our military.
I was brought into a program
that is now known as AATIP,
Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program.
And that was a program
by the Pentagon
to investigate UFOs
or what we now call UAP.
Orbs are being
picked up and seen
by our military personnel,
both in controlled U.S. airspace
and over sensitive
military installations.
And they're quite prevalent.
Some of those orbs
that have been recorded
run circles around fighter jets
with their acceleration
or going from
10,000 feet altitude
to 85,000 feet altitude
in a snap of a finger.
I mean, this is something
that we today cannot do,
so what's going on here?
Could it be that these represent
some type
of extraterrestrial craft?
What are these
mysterious glowing orbs?
Could they be
of extraterrestrial origin?
And if so, why are they here?
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
an extraordinary orb video
recorded by the U.S. military.
During a hearing
of the U.S. Senate Committee
on Armed Services,
Pentagon official
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick
presents senators
with new declassified footage.
You'll see it, uh,
come through the top
of the screen.
There it goes.
Taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone
in 2022, the footage shows
a small metallic orb
flying over Mosul, Iraq.
Mosul is significant
because it's the first
visual corroboration
of a UFO
in an active combat zone.
It's really
unchartered territory
for the U.S. military to divulge
something like this
and not have any kind of answer.
The Mosul orb was over a
over controlled U.S. airspace.
And to see an orb
that had no wings,
no control surfaces, no rudders,
no cockpit, no engine,
fly unchallenged
over an active theater of war,
um, is problematic.
Many sightings involve
these metallic orbs,
so getting
an actual shot of this orb
over a military active space
raises the question,
is this possibly
some intervention
of one of these species
that's monitoring Earth,
watching Earth,
gathering data on us?
The American military knows
a lot more about UFOs and orbs
than they will admit.
And it would seem
that the military has got
all kinds of footage
of orbs.
Yet, they won't really comment
on what these orbs really are.
As far as ancient
astronaut theorists
are concerned,
orb encounters reported
by military personnel
provide some of the most
compelling evidence there is
of an extraterrestrial
presence on Earth.
And while they've only
recently made headlines,
similar phenomena
have been witnessed
by the military for decades.
In fact,
numerous encounters with orbs
were reported by fighter pilots
from multiple countries
during World War II.
In the closing stages
of World War II,
Allied forces are pushing deeper
into Nazi-occupied France.
On November 27th,
American aviators
with the 415th Night Fighter
Squadron are conducting
a nighttime raid
along the Rhine River
when they report seeing
several strange red lights
in the sky.
The glowing orbs seem
to pursue them
through a series
of high-speed maneuvers
before they suddenly vanish.
In the days that follow,
more pilots experience
similar encounters.
These craft, these objects,
whatever they-they were,
they were often just described
as balls of light.
And they would come in
very close to Allied aircraft.
These strange balls of light
often displayed speeds
and maneuverability
that was way ahead
of-of the cutting edge
of aviation technology.
As the sightings increased,
Allied pilots began to call
the mysterious orbs
"foo fighters."
The reason they were called
foo fighters was
because they were glowing
on the inside.
The word for fire
in French is feu,
and the French called them feu.
And that's how they got the name
foo fighters from the Americans.
These foo fighters often
just stayed very briefly
and then maneuvered
with incredible speed
either straight up or far away.
Most concerning to pilots was
that sightings were
often accompanied
by bizarre malfunctions
to their aircraft.
What the airmen found was
the foo fighters were
sending an electric signal out
that got in the way
of their radios
got in the way of
their navigational instruments.
These orbs would fly
near the airplanes,
even as close
to the airplane wing
and the pilots claimed
that it interacted
or confused the controls,
or changed how it operated,
and might have actually
made them, uh, nearly crash.
It was as if these things were
observing the pilots.
These balls of light would often
keep track with the aircraft.
So this was a-a real concern
for the authorities.
But no overt hostile action,
which leads to the question,
what were these things
and what was going on?
Allied airmen speculated
that the foo fighters were
a secret weapon that had been
developed by the Germans.
But after the war,
it became clear
that the flying orbs
had been encountered
by forces on both sides
of the conflict.
We learned that Germans
and Japanese pilots
apparently were also
reporting these.
Now, these foo fighters
never seemed to be
weapons directed against them.
Because they often
just stayed very briefly,
and then maneuvered
with incredible speed
either straight up or far away.
We don't know
what they are officially.
They strike me
as classic UFO-type activity.
I think the argument can be made
that some of these orbs
that we see today are those
foo fighters of World War II.
Is it possible
that the foo fighters
of World War II were
extraterrestrial visitors?
And if so,
could they be connected
to the glowing orbs
that military personnel are
witnessing in the present day?
According to UFO researchers,
America's armed forces have
not only been encountering
strange orbs for decades
but they sometimes appear
in swarms.
In July of 2019,
off the West Coast,
ten U.S. Navy warships were
buzzed by unknown craft,
one right after another.
One of those ships is
the USS Omaha.
It was surrounded by more
than a dozen of these things
that would fly toward it,
then fly back.
And they were trying
to get images of it.
And finally on a thermal imaging
system, they got one of them.
It followed
the ship for an hour.
It was a perfectly round sphere,
something like
eight feet across.
No wings, no tail, no rotor.
That video showed that there
were a bunch of these things
floating around the ship
for a long period of time.
They'd zip in, zip out,
disappear, appear.
What the hell was that?
Even more astonishing,
footage recorded
by sailors on the warship
shows the mysterious orbs
performing maneuvers
that defy explanation.
Many of these orbs dive
into the water
and come out and oftentimes
you do not see any splashes.
It's as if there's
an artificial bubble
that allows this thing
to move through material
without any loss of velocity.
Transmedium travel is
a breakthrough technology
from what we have.
We have no idea
even whose technology it is.
The official response
by the Department of Defense
and our government is that
these still remain a mystery.
They remain unsolved,
unattributed.
Is that a concern for the Navy?
Well, absolutely it is.
And it's also a concern
for our national security.
Two months after
the USS Omahaincident,
in September 2019,
another swarm
of glowing orbs was filmed
off the coast of North Carolina.
Cell phone video uploaded
to YouTube by William Guy
shows what appears to be
a swarm of 14 orbs
hovering over the water.
The video was shot
from aboard a ferry
and was witnessed
by other passengers on board.
But perhaps the most
concerning encounter
occurred in December 2023,
when a fleet of orbs appeared
over Langley Air Force Base
in Virginia.
Langley Air Force Base is
certainly a sensitive facility,
and the notion of orbs certainly
is a national security concern.
They're coming completely
unattributed, unchallenged
over a controlled U.S. airspace,
and we have no idea
what their intent is.
But it's not just military
and intelligence eyewitnesses.
These orbs now have been seen by
huge swaths
of the civilian population
all around the world.
It's a global phenomenon.
Every nation out there
that has had to deal
with these orbs
has come out and said
that they're not our technology.
Meaning it's not Russian,
it's not Chinese, it's not U.S.,
it's not Canadian, German, U.K.
We're dealing with something
that is being
intelligently controlled.
We have really no other choice
but to consider the possibility
that some sort
of nonhuman intelligence
is controlling these things.
Just who or what is behind
these remarkable encounters
with flying orbs?
Are they simply an advanced,
highly classified technology
created by the military
or a foreign power?
Or is it possible that these
orbs are not of this world?
Perhaps further clues
can be found
by examining hot spots where
glowing balls of light
not only appear but are believed
to travel to other dimensions.
As darkness falls on
this small town in West Texas,
a number of glowing orbs
materialize in the night sky.
They hover over
the dusty landscape
for a few seconds at a time,
then mysteriously vanish.
These strange orbs have come
to be known as the Marfa lights.
One of the most
famous places in the world
for viewing orbs is
Marfa, Texas.
And since the early 1800s.
You can stop
and see these orbs moving
across the desert.
The Marfa lights are
the most consistent
unexplained phenomenon
in the world,
because the Marfa lights
occur virtually
every single night.
Nobody knows what they are,
but there are
mysterious orbs in the sky
that seem to float
and nobody can understand why.
The state of Texas has actually
put up a rest area there
with binoculars that are free
to look at the Marfa lights.
We just don't know
what the Marfa lights are,
and no one has come up
with any definitive conclusion.
Curiously, West Texas is not
the only place in America
where mysterious lights
can be regularly seen.
Roughly 700 miles
northeast of Marfa,
in the Ozarks,
residents frequently report
seeing strange floating orbs.
For decades, the locals
have called them "spook lights."
The Ozark spook light
is something that's been sighted
over many, many years,
dating back to the 1830s.
This is the sighting
of a small but intense ball
or orb of light
that some people say is
bright and colorful,
moves erratically,
sometimes darting around.
For almost a hundred years,
people have been
plagued by orbs.
They seem to come
out of nowhere.
In fact, the orbs
just didn't hang there.
They actually
interacted with people.
In addition
to the Ozarks, another site
where orbs are reported
on a regular basis can be found
600 miles east
in North Carolina.
For decades, people have
flocked to Brown Mountain
to witness the appearance
of lights and glowing orbs
in the night sky.
In the Brown Mountains is
a famous mystery light
called the Brown Mountain light.
And this light is occasionally
seen by people and it's
this has been going on
for hundreds of years at least.
This goes on for hours.
And you're sitting
there watching,
and then, suddenly,
there's two lights,
and they're moving,
and then they disappear.
No one has really come up
with any definitive theory
on, you know, what is
the origin of these orbs,
or what they're doing,
and whether they're
just a natural phenomenon
or intelligently
controlled in some way.
Intelligently controlled?
Could it be that the mysterious
orbs seen in Marfa,
the Ozarks and Brown Mountain
are of extraterrestrial origin?
Perhaps clues can be found
by examining the story
behind an orb carved in stone.
Tempe, Arizona.
Towering above the city
stands a mountain
known as Hayden Butte.
Its rugged slopes are home
to approximately 500 petroglyphs
that were made by the Hohokam,
a Native American tribe
that mysteriously disappeared.
In the 12th century,
the Hohokam just vanished.
The tribe itself
just ceased to exist,
kind of overnight,
and, uh, we still
don't know why.
According to some researchers,
clues about what happened
to the Hohokam
can be found by examining
the petroglyphs on Hayden Butte.
There's one petroglyph
that depicts two human figures
standing with their arms
up to the sky,
as if pointing
or possibly worshiping
two circular objects above them.
There's some interpretation
that these could depict
celestial objects
an orb up above them.
In the Navajo Nation
there are descriptions
of going through
a hole in the sky.
And I can't help but wonder
if like the Navajo,
the Hohokam saw
some kind of portal in the sky
and climbed through.
Ancient petroglyphs
representing gateways
to other worlds?
While it may sound
like science fiction,
one prominent theory
about glowing orbs
is that they could represent
entities crossing over
into our reality
from another dimension.
The term interdimensional refers
to other dimensions
or other planes of existence
that are believed to exist
parallel to our own
or perhaps interweaving
within our own.
And when you look
at the orb phenomena
in light of this concept,
it explains a lot
because in eyewitness accounts,
these orbs just seem to pop in
and then pop out.
The orbs themselves
may not be physical.
Could the ancient rock art
at Hayden Butte
actually portray orbs traveling
through some sort of portal?
To this day, residents have been
capturing footage
of orbs flying in the skies
above the mountain.
Is it possible that locations
known for strange lights are
gateways where orbs can
cross into our world
from other planets
or even other dimensions?
Perhaps further clues
can be found
at one of the world's
most famous UFO hot spots:
Skinwalker Ranch.
Nestled in a deep valley
surrounded by mountains
is Skinwalker Ranch,
where a myriad
of unusual phenomena
have been documented
for decades.
This 512-acre property is
a place where strange
disappearances are common,
and people regularly
sight bizarre creatures
as well as glowing orbs.
Skinwalker Ranch is
an absolute hot spot of both
UFO and paranormal activity.
It is a spooky place.
They have everything there
from strange,
maybe malevolent creatures
that have been sighted
through to animal mutilations
and, of course, UFO sightings.
And many of those UFOs
involve glowing orbs of light.
Among the many manifestations
at the Skinwalker Ranch
are floating orbs.
They seem to be coming
out of nowhere,
hovering over the ranch,
and they disappear again.
Today, a team of researchers
That's significant.
which includes
astrophysicist
Dr. Travis Taylor,
is conducting scientific
experiments across the property
and has documented
numerous startling anomalies.
- Hey, look, UAP right there!
- Yep.
Before I went
to Skinwalker Ranch,
I had never personally seen
any type of "UFO" or UAP
phenomenon that wasn't on video.
And once I got there,
and I've been there now
for six years,
it's so common.
We see them at least
once a week on average.
One of the more common ones are
the orbs that we've
measured and captured
on various types of instruments
and video at Skinwalker Ranch.
Since I've been there,
we have video of multiple
What is that? Right there.
orange, purple and blue
orb-like phenomena
and many of them
we've captured in infrared,
so we don't know
what color they were.
The orbs seem to be
some size say between
a volleyball
out to maybe the size of a car.
And I don't know
if they're nuts and bolts,
if they're some sort
of new phenomena
that we haven't seen
from Mother Nature before
or if they're
something more exciting.
- Oh, wow!
- Did you guys see that, too?
I got it on camera.
Much like the foo fighters
that pilots encountered
during World War II,
glowing orbs that appear
at the ranch
seem to cause some sort
of technological interference.
One of the most common
telltale signs that we see
is that GPS on the ranch
nearby the phenomena seems
to suddenly lose its mind.
It literally becomes inaccurate
to within hundreds
to thousands of miles.
And also, we see
a microwave signal
that seems to accompany it,
and it's usually
around 1.6 gigahertz.
Holy crap, look at this.
See this right here?
Look at that, look.
We've got a 1.6 gigahertz
signal right now
that's in,
that's-that's pulsing.
- I see it.
- Yeah, look at that!
It's-it's the one
that we got before.
It could be that these orbs are
some kind of advanced
extraterrestrial technology,
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Some special energy
that's sent out and can appear.
Holy !
- Right there.
- What is that? What is that?
We got, we got something.
Hold on. Right there.
- Yeah, I see it.
- Oh, yeah.
Many of the orbs seen
at Skinwalker Ranch
also display capabilities
far beyond those
of any man-made aircraft.
Look right here.
This thing is really
clipping along.
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
Can you replay that,
- please?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And gone.
There are things
that they're doing
that we do not have
modern technology
that can do these things.
And one of the most,
uh, telling is
this blue, silver-like orb
flies out of the sky,
flies into solid rock mesa
and seems to be inside the mesa
for about
three-quarters of a mile
and comes out of the mesa,
at the same speed,
same direction,
same kind of pace.
So that would be
in the realm of transmedium
and that's something we
definitely don't know how to do.
As far as Dr. Taylor
is concerned,
while the glowing orb
phenomenon is certainly real,
more data is needed
before a theory can be formed
as to just what these balls
of light might be.
But based on the many orb events
he has observed
at Skinwalker Ranch,
he believes
it's entirely possible
that these orbs are
passing between dimensions.
I always wonder
if these phenomena were
coming from a parallel universe
and not necessarily having
to come from another planet.
Is it true? Do we know?
We don't have
any evidence that tells us
it's a nuts-and-bolts craft
from Zeta Reticuli
or that it's an orb
from some other dimension.
I have no idea.
But since it is a possibility,
it deserves
scientific investigation.
The team at Skinwalker Ranch
continues to search for answers
as to what the glowing orbs are
and where they come from.
But the biggest question
concerning these mysterious orbs
is: why are they here?
- I can still see it.
- It's right there.
I mean it-it was
over top of the ranch.
They seem to be
coming out of nowhere,
hovering over the ranch.
Are these orbs
surveillance devices?
Or are they the actual
creatures themselves?
Wow, that was so cool!
The science,
the experiments
that have been done
at Skinwalker Ranch,
some of them have
baffling, baffling results.
Do you see the orange light
coming from the west?
What in the hell is that?
What is the origin for this?
I think the extraterrestrials
were called The Watchers
for a reason.
Because what do they do?
They watch. They observe us.
If extraterrestrial orbs
have been monitoring our planet,
what could they want?
Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
clues can be found by examining
the numerous orb encounters
that have been reported
at nuclear missile facilities.
As tensions
in the Cold War rise,
the military is on high alert
to stop Soviet aggression.
Key to the nation's defense is
an arsenal of nuclear
Minuteman ballistic missiles.
Ten of these powerful weapons
are stored in silos
at Malmstrom Air Force Base
in Montana.
Early in the morning
on March 27th,
a soldier is conducting
a routine patrol at Malmstrom
when he notices
a red glowing orb is
flying toward the base.
Soldiers above the ground
reported
this very large, substantial,
glowing red orb,
spherical type of glowing thing
coming to where they were.
Stationed more
than 40 feet below ground,
in the missile control center,
was Lieutenant Robert Salas.
I was in charge of the
we call it
a launch control facility,
which controlled
ten nuclear missiles.
These were Minuteman I
intercontinental
ballistic missiles.
What I recall is getting
a call from my topside guard.
There was some lights
flying over the facility.
They were behaving strangely.
They were flying, very fast,
stopping in midair,
reversing course.
They heard no engine noise.
And he said,
"These are not aircraft, sir."
I said, "Well,
make sure you call me back
if something
more significant happens."
Maybe five, ten minutes later,
he calls back.
This time he's screaming
into the phone.
He's clearly frightened.
He said, "Uh, I'm looking"
"at a reddish orange
pulsating light
that's hovering
right above the front gate."
According to Lieutenant Salas,
moments after the call
the missiles began
to malfunction.
We hear these horns go off.
We looked over at the board,
this was a bank of lights.
The missiles started going
from operational to no-go.
We lost all ten
right in rapid succession
while this object was
still up there.
This was a case that,
whatever you think about UFOs,
illustrates why this is
a serious national
security problem.
Salas, at the time, was told
this isn't the first time
this has happened.
This was a systemic issue.
And for every one
of these cases we've heard,
who knows
how many cases there are
that we haven't heard?
Whoever,
whatever this craft was,
they knew exactly what it took
to disable our missile system.
Is it possible,
as Robert Salas believes,
that the glowing red orb
deactivated
the nuclear missiles?
According to UFO researchers,
a similar event occurred
four years later.
One astonishing story
happened on July 2, 1971.
It was aboard
the nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier,
the USS John F. Kennedy.
The witness who wrote
about this said
the ship was coming back
from the Caribbean,
and he sees
what he describes as a large
glowing orange,
pulsating luminous sphere.
This thing is
over the aircraft carrier,
and it's disabled
the ship's communications.
At which point the ship goes
on battle stations.
But for the next 20 minutes,
weapons systems failed
to function.
At some point
this sphere went away.
A few days later,
there was a message
from the ship's captain
on the intercom,
just saying no one was
expected to speak about it.
But the U.S. was not
the only nation
whose military reported
strange encounters with orbs.
The Soviet Union allegedly
experienced at least
one similar UFO encounter
at a nuclear missile base
in Ukraine.
In the 1980s,
the Soviet Union kept
its missile silos in Ukraine.
And one day, over one of those
missile sites, an orb appeared,
and the controllers in the site
looked down and they said,
"The missiles are fueling."
Nobody told them to fuel.
The controller tried to stop it.
They didn't have control.
Suddenly, they saw
on their boards
launch codes were being entered
for the United States.
The countdown started.
The panicked controllers
tried to shut it down,
but they couldn't.
As the countdown progressed,
suddenly they shut down,
and the orb flew away.
According to former intelligence
officer Lou Elizondo,
interaction between orbs
and nuclear facilities is
still happening.
These orbs were being witnessed
over our nuclear equities.
So think
of nuclear power plants,
nuclear weapons
development locations.
And so I think it's safe to say
that if you have
something that can enter
into controlled U.S. airspace
with complete anonymity
and unchallenged,
and outperform
anything that we have,
certainly, from a national
security perspective,
that's a problem.
Could it be
that extraterrestrial orbs
are interacting
with our military bases?
And if so, for what purpose?
The fact is,
many of these orbs
have been seen
over military installations
and military equipment.
To me, suggests that if this is
extraterrestrial in origin,
whoever is visiting,
they want to show
a more technologically
primitive society,
"Hey, we can turn off
your nuclear rocket silos."
Could the claims of Robert Salas
and Lou Elizondo be true?
That otherworldly
glowing orbs are
monitoring and interfering
with our nuclear arsenal?
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
and argue that the recent surge
in orb sightings is evidence
of an even more profound
alien agenda.
One that may be preparing
humanity for disclosure.
Mysterious glowing orbs seen
flying over our cities
and our shores.
Strange balls of light
witnessed hovering
over our nuclear facilities.
And small metallic orbs observed
flying through
an active combat zone.
If these orbs are
of nonhuman origin,
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe,
should we be concerned?
People often ask,
should we be taking this threat
more seriously?
And I would submit to you
that we're not sure
if it's even a threat yet.
In order to determine
if something's a threat,
from a national security
perspective,
it's a very simple calculus.
It's capabilities versus intent.
Now we've seen
some of the capabilities,
yet we have no idea the intent.
You can look at orbs
one of two ways.
They're either
natural phenomenon
or technology of some sort.
I tend to think
that's the answer.
I tend to think that
they are a technology
a very, very advanced
technology.
And I do not believe
that this is something
that we humans have created.
And I don't know
of any scientist
who's really come up
with a viable theory
to explain this.
So my assumption,
until indicated otherwise,
is that we're dealing with
technology from somewhere else.
The question comes down to:
why are they here?
And there's largely
two possible reasons.
One, these are
interdimensional travelers
from other planes of existence,
or perhaps they are some kind
of a reconnaissance craft.
It could be that these orbs are
some kind of advanced
extraterrestrial probe,
that's sent out
and it's observing
and taking calculations
and things like that, and then,
when it has
all the information it needs,
it suddenly disappears.
Could it be that glowing orbs
have been sent to Earth
to observe humanity?
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
and they suggest it's part
of a long-standing agenda
to help humankind.
If an extraterrestrial
civilization has achieved
the technological wherewithal
to travel across galaxies
and wanted to destroy us,
it would have already
happened a long time ago.
Today,
with all these orbs that we see,
more and more evidence is
coming forward
that we are certainly
not alone in the universe.
And with everything
that's going on right now,
I think
that this may be the time
when we will make contact.
The orbs have been here,
and they're still here.
And we should be doing more
scientific investigation because
the key to the mystery
of the orbs
may be the key
to the mystery of UFOs
and alien visitation.
From military encounters
during World War II
to modern-day
smartphone videos
do glowing orbs
provide evidence
of an otherworldly intelligence
that has been present on Earth
for more than 80 years?
And if they are now, day by day,
revealing themselves
in ever larger numbers,
could we soon meet
the extraterrestrial
or interdimensional entities
behind this phenomenon?
Perhaps solving the mystery
of the glowing orbs
will finally put us on the path
to being reunited
with our alien ancestors.
reports of Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena are on the rise.
But none are more mysterious
or more prevalent
than the accounts
of glowing orbs.
We don't know what orbs are.
But we have video
of orb-like phenomena
around the world.
Their movements frequently
defy the laws of physics.
You'll suddenly see
an orb appear,
and it starts to move
in one direction
and then, it will disappear.
And now orbs are even
being reported
near military bases, ships
and nuclear weapon facilities.
Just what are
these glowing orbs?
And more importantly, what
are they doing in our airspace?
I think it's highly important
that we investigate these orbs
because even the U.S. military
has come forward and said,
"By the way, this is not ours."
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.
Starting in mid-November,
people throughout the state
begin to witness
an unsettling phenomenon
when they see strange lights
and giant drones
in the skies above.
With no country
or organization claiming
responsibility
for these mysterious aircraft,
residents were perplexed
by what they saw.
Some of these drones were
described as being large,
the size of a car,
and some of them were
moving around
doing strange,
right-angle turns,
extraordinary speeds
and maneuvers.
People were wondering,
does some of this belong to
an enemy of the United States?
Or could this be
extraterrestrials?
Nobody knew, but everyone
was talking about it
the media, the public.
They were very concerned.
In January 2025,
the U.S. government
finally put out a statement
claiming that the drones were
authorized by the FAA
to conduct some type
of unspecified research.
But for ufologists,
a much bigger mystery
than the drones are
the strange lights
that were seen
along with them
that looked like glowing orbs.
These things were quite
different, obviously not drones.
Smaller, spherical,
sometimes staying
stationary for hours
and then shooting off
at high speed.
Now, that's not an aircraft.
That's not
a bright star or planet.
That-that kind of movement,
that's something else.
But what exactly are
these so-called "glowing orbs"?
We don't know what orbs are.
They're unidentified
and they're anomalous.
And they're some kind
of phenomena,
so they fit
in this broader UAP category.
UAP is Unidentified
Anomalous Phenomena.
That's the big category.
But orb is a specific subset.
Orbs tend to be
more of a light phenomenon.
They are very distinct
from these, you know,
larger metallic craft
that we call UFOs.
Glowing orbs are
one of the most fascinating
and probably least understood
elements of the UFO
or now UAP phenomenon.
In fact, it's really better
to refer to them as UAP
because they truly are.
They're not unidentified
flying objects.
They really are unidentified
anomalous phenomenon.
Orbs can be varied in size
from anything as small
as like a baseball.
Sometimes quite a bit larger.
They can be bright white,
they can be gold and yellowish,
glowing orange to red.
There's greens, there's blues.
They can hover
for a long period of time,
practically motionless,
and then they can move
very suddenly,
almost instant acceleration,
just like a UFO would do.
These luminous balls of light
that are often seen,
appear to be
intelligently controlled.
There doesn't appear to be
any real technical device,
meaning nuts and bolts.
Think of a, like a plasma ball,
a luminous ball of light
that seems to be able
to operate and maneuver
under some sort of guidance.
These orbs now have been seen
by huge swaths of the population
and the civilian population,
and in fact,
all around the world.
It's a global phenomenon.
There has been a large increase
in sightings of UFOs
and especially of orbs
and people are
capturing it on film.
With the pervasiveness
of cell phones with cameras,
it's getting increasingly harder
to deny their existence.
But it's not just civilians
who are reporting sightings
of strange glowing orbs.
According to former intelligence
officer Luis Elizondo,
there have been
numerous encounters
between orbs and our military.
I was brought into a program
that is now known as AATIP,
Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program.
And that was a program
by the Pentagon
to investigate UFOs
or what we now call UAP.
Orbs are being
picked up and seen
by our military personnel,
both in controlled U.S. airspace
and over sensitive
military installations.
And they're quite prevalent.
Some of those orbs
that have been recorded
run circles around fighter jets
with their acceleration
or going from
10,000 feet altitude
to 85,000 feet altitude
in a snap of a finger.
I mean, this is something
that we today cannot do,
so what's going on here?
Could it be that these represent
some type
of extraterrestrial craft?
What are these
mysterious glowing orbs?
Could they be
of extraterrestrial origin?
And if so, why are they here?
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
an extraordinary orb video
recorded by the U.S. military.
During a hearing
of the U.S. Senate Committee
on Armed Services,
Pentagon official
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick
presents senators
with new declassified footage.
You'll see it, uh,
come through the top
of the screen.
There it goes.
Taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone
in 2022, the footage shows
a small metallic orb
flying over Mosul, Iraq.
Mosul is significant
because it's the first
visual corroboration
of a UFO
in an active combat zone.
It's really
unchartered territory
for the U.S. military to divulge
something like this
and not have any kind of answer.
The Mosul orb was over a
over controlled U.S. airspace.
And to see an orb
that had no wings,
no control surfaces, no rudders,
no cockpit, no engine,
fly unchallenged
over an active theater of war,
um, is problematic.
Many sightings involve
these metallic orbs,
so getting
an actual shot of this orb
over a military active space
raises the question,
is this possibly
some intervention
of one of these species
that's monitoring Earth,
watching Earth,
gathering data on us?
The American military knows
a lot more about UFOs and orbs
than they will admit.
And it would seem
that the military has got
all kinds of footage
of orbs.
Yet, they won't really comment
on what these orbs really are.
As far as ancient
astronaut theorists
are concerned,
orb encounters reported
by military personnel
provide some of the most
compelling evidence there is
of an extraterrestrial
presence on Earth.
And while they've only
recently made headlines,
similar phenomena
have been witnessed
by the military for decades.
In fact,
numerous encounters with orbs
were reported by fighter pilots
from multiple countries
during World War II.
In the closing stages
of World War II,
Allied forces are pushing deeper
into Nazi-occupied France.
On November 27th,
American aviators
with the 415th Night Fighter
Squadron are conducting
a nighttime raid
along the Rhine River
when they report seeing
several strange red lights
in the sky.
The glowing orbs seem
to pursue them
through a series
of high-speed maneuvers
before they suddenly vanish.
In the days that follow,
more pilots experience
similar encounters.
These craft, these objects,
whatever they-they were,
they were often just described
as balls of light.
And they would come in
very close to Allied aircraft.
These strange balls of light
often displayed speeds
and maneuverability
that was way ahead
of-of the cutting edge
of aviation technology.
As the sightings increased,
Allied pilots began to call
the mysterious orbs
"foo fighters."
The reason they were called
foo fighters was
because they were glowing
on the inside.
The word for fire
in French is feu,
and the French called them feu.
And that's how they got the name
foo fighters from the Americans.
These foo fighters often
just stayed very briefly
and then maneuvered
with incredible speed
either straight up or far away.
Most concerning to pilots was
that sightings were
often accompanied
by bizarre malfunctions
to their aircraft.
What the airmen found was
the foo fighters were
sending an electric signal out
that got in the way
of their radios
got in the way of
their navigational instruments.
These orbs would fly
near the airplanes,
even as close
to the airplane wing
and the pilots claimed
that it interacted
or confused the controls,
or changed how it operated,
and might have actually
made them, uh, nearly crash.
It was as if these things were
observing the pilots.
These balls of light would often
keep track with the aircraft.
So this was a-a real concern
for the authorities.
But no overt hostile action,
which leads to the question,
what were these things
and what was going on?
Allied airmen speculated
that the foo fighters were
a secret weapon that had been
developed by the Germans.
But after the war,
it became clear
that the flying orbs
had been encountered
by forces on both sides
of the conflict.
We learned that Germans
and Japanese pilots
apparently were also
reporting these.
Now, these foo fighters
never seemed to be
weapons directed against them.
Because they often
just stayed very briefly,
and then maneuvered
with incredible speed
either straight up or far away.
We don't know
what they are officially.
They strike me
as classic UFO-type activity.
I think the argument can be made
that some of these orbs
that we see today are those
foo fighters of World War II.
Is it possible
that the foo fighters
of World War II were
extraterrestrial visitors?
And if so,
could they be connected
to the glowing orbs
that military personnel are
witnessing in the present day?
According to UFO researchers,
America's armed forces have
not only been encountering
strange orbs for decades
but they sometimes appear
in swarms.
In July of 2019,
off the West Coast,
ten U.S. Navy warships were
buzzed by unknown craft,
one right after another.
One of those ships is
the USS Omaha.
It was surrounded by more
than a dozen of these things
that would fly toward it,
then fly back.
And they were trying
to get images of it.
And finally on a thermal imaging
system, they got one of them.
It followed
the ship for an hour.
It was a perfectly round sphere,
something like
eight feet across.
No wings, no tail, no rotor.
That video showed that there
were a bunch of these things
floating around the ship
for a long period of time.
They'd zip in, zip out,
disappear, appear.
What the hell was that?
Even more astonishing,
footage recorded
by sailors on the warship
shows the mysterious orbs
performing maneuvers
that defy explanation.
Many of these orbs dive
into the water
and come out and oftentimes
you do not see any splashes.
It's as if there's
an artificial bubble
that allows this thing
to move through material
without any loss of velocity.
Transmedium travel is
a breakthrough technology
from what we have.
We have no idea
even whose technology it is.
The official response
by the Department of Defense
and our government is that
these still remain a mystery.
They remain unsolved,
unattributed.
Is that a concern for the Navy?
Well, absolutely it is.
And it's also a concern
for our national security.
Two months after
the USS Omahaincident,
in September 2019,
another swarm
of glowing orbs was filmed
off the coast of North Carolina.
Cell phone video uploaded
to YouTube by William Guy
shows what appears to be
a swarm of 14 orbs
hovering over the water.
The video was shot
from aboard a ferry
and was witnessed
by other passengers on board.
But perhaps the most
concerning encounter
occurred in December 2023,
when a fleet of orbs appeared
over Langley Air Force Base
in Virginia.
Langley Air Force Base is
certainly a sensitive facility,
and the notion of orbs certainly
is a national security concern.
They're coming completely
unattributed, unchallenged
over a controlled U.S. airspace,
and we have no idea
what their intent is.
But it's not just military
and intelligence eyewitnesses.
These orbs now have been seen by
huge swaths
of the civilian population
all around the world.
It's a global phenomenon.
Every nation out there
that has had to deal
with these orbs
has come out and said
that they're not our technology.
Meaning it's not Russian,
it's not Chinese, it's not U.S.,
it's not Canadian, German, U.K.
We're dealing with something
that is being
intelligently controlled.
We have really no other choice
but to consider the possibility
that some sort
of nonhuman intelligence
is controlling these things.
Just who or what is behind
these remarkable encounters
with flying orbs?
Are they simply an advanced,
highly classified technology
created by the military
or a foreign power?
Or is it possible that these
orbs are not of this world?
Perhaps further clues
can be found
by examining hot spots where
glowing balls of light
not only appear but are believed
to travel to other dimensions.
As darkness falls on
this small town in West Texas,
a number of glowing orbs
materialize in the night sky.
They hover over
the dusty landscape
for a few seconds at a time,
then mysteriously vanish.
These strange orbs have come
to be known as the Marfa lights.
One of the most
famous places in the world
for viewing orbs is
Marfa, Texas.
And since the early 1800s.
You can stop
and see these orbs moving
across the desert.
The Marfa lights are
the most consistent
unexplained phenomenon
in the world,
because the Marfa lights
occur virtually
every single night.
Nobody knows what they are,
but there are
mysterious orbs in the sky
that seem to float
and nobody can understand why.
The state of Texas has actually
put up a rest area there
with binoculars that are free
to look at the Marfa lights.
We just don't know
what the Marfa lights are,
and no one has come up
with any definitive conclusion.
Curiously, West Texas is not
the only place in America
where mysterious lights
can be regularly seen.
Roughly 700 miles
northeast of Marfa,
in the Ozarks,
residents frequently report
seeing strange floating orbs.
For decades, the locals
have called them "spook lights."
The Ozark spook light
is something that's been sighted
over many, many years,
dating back to the 1830s.
This is the sighting
of a small but intense ball
or orb of light
that some people say is
bright and colorful,
moves erratically,
sometimes darting around.
For almost a hundred years,
people have been
plagued by orbs.
They seem to come
out of nowhere.
In fact, the orbs
just didn't hang there.
They actually
interacted with people.
In addition
to the Ozarks, another site
where orbs are reported
on a regular basis can be found
600 miles east
in North Carolina.
For decades, people have
flocked to Brown Mountain
to witness the appearance
of lights and glowing orbs
in the night sky.
In the Brown Mountains is
a famous mystery light
called the Brown Mountain light.
And this light is occasionally
seen by people and it's
this has been going on
for hundreds of years at least.
This goes on for hours.
And you're sitting
there watching,
and then, suddenly,
there's two lights,
and they're moving,
and then they disappear.
No one has really come up
with any definitive theory
on, you know, what is
the origin of these orbs,
or what they're doing,
and whether they're
just a natural phenomenon
or intelligently
controlled in some way.
Intelligently controlled?
Could it be that the mysterious
orbs seen in Marfa,
the Ozarks and Brown Mountain
are of extraterrestrial origin?
Perhaps clues can be found
by examining the story
behind an orb carved in stone.
Tempe, Arizona.
Towering above the city
stands a mountain
known as Hayden Butte.
Its rugged slopes are home
to approximately 500 petroglyphs
that were made by the Hohokam,
a Native American tribe
that mysteriously disappeared.
In the 12th century,
the Hohokam just vanished.
The tribe itself
just ceased to exist,
kind of overnight,
and, uh, we still
don't know why.
According to some researchers,
clues about what happened
to the Hohokam
can be found by examining
the petroglyphs on Hayden Butte.
There's one petroglyph
that depicts two human figures
standing with their arms
up to the sky,
as if pointing
or possibly worshiping
two circular objects above them.
There's some interpretation
that these could depict
celestial objects
an orb up above them.
In the Navajo Nation
there are descriptions
of going through
a hole in the sky.
And I can't help but wonder
if like the Navajo,
the Hohokam saw
some kind of portal in the sky
and climbed through.
Ancient petroglyphs
representing gateways
to other worlds?
While it may sound
like science fiction,
one prominent theory
about glowing orbs
is that they could represent
entities crossing over
into our reality
from another dimension.
The term interdimensional refers
to other dimensions
or other planes of existence
that are believed to exist
parallel to our own
or perhaps interweaving
within our own.
And when you look
at the orb phenomena
in light of this concept,
it explains a lot
because in eyewitness accounts,
these orbs just seem to pop in
and then pop out.
The orbs themselves
may not be physical.
Could the ancient rock art
at Hayden Butte
actually portray orbs traveling
through some sort of portal?
To this day, residents have been
capturing footage
of orbs flying in the skies
above the mountain.
Is it possible that locations
known for strange lights are
gateways where orbs can
cross into our world
from other planets
or even other dimensions?
Perhaps further clues
can be found
at one of the world's
most famous UFO hot spots:
Skinwalker Ranch.
Nestled in a deep valley
surrounded by mountains
is Skinwalker Ranch,
where a myriad
of unusual phenomena
have been documented
for decades.
This 512-acre property is
a place where strange
disappearances are common,
and people regularly
sight bizarre creatures
as well as glowing orbs.
Skinwalker Ranch is
an absolute hot spot of both
UFO and paranormal activity.
It is a spooky place.
They have everything there
from strange,
maybe malevolent creatures
that have been sighted
through to animal mutilations
and, of course, UFO sightings.
And many of those UFOs
involve glowing orbs of light.
Among the many manifestations
at the Skinwalker Ranch
are floating orbs.
They seem to be coming
out of nowhere,
hovering over the ranch,
and they disappear again.
Today, a team of researchers
That's significant.
which includes
astrophysicist
Dr. Travis Taylor,
is conducting scientific
experiments across the property
and has documented
numerous startling anomalies.
- Hey, look, UAP right there!
- Yep.
Before I went
to Skinwalker Ranch,
I had never personally seen
any type of "UFO" or UAP
phenomenon that wasn't on video.
And once I got there,
and I've been there now
for six years,
it's so common.
We see them at least
once a week on average.
One of the more common ones are
the orbs that we've
measured and captured
on various types of instruments
and video at Skinwalker Ranch.
Since I've been there,
we have video of multiple
What is that? Right there.
orange, purple and blue
orb-like phenomena
and many of them
we've captured in infrared,
so we don't know
what color they were.
The orbs seem to be
some size say between
a volleyball
out to maybe the size of a car.
And I don't know
if they're nuts and bolts,
if they're some sort
of new phenomena
that we haven't seen
from Mother Nature before
or if they're
something more exciting.
- Oh, wow!
- Did you guys see that, too?
I got it on camera.
Much like the foo fighters
that pilots encountered
during World War II,
glowing orbs that appear
at the ranch
seem to cause some sort
of technological interference.
One of the most common
telltale signs that we see
is that GPS on the ranch
nearby the phenomena seems
to suddenly lose its mind.
It literally becomes inaccurate
to within hundreds
to thousands of miles.
And also, we see
a microwave signal
that seems to accompany it,
and it's usually
around 1.6 gigahertz.
Holy crap, look at this.
See this right here?
Look at that, look.
We've got a 1.6 gigahertz
signal right now
that's in,
that's-that's pulsing.
- I see it.
- Yeah, look at that!
It's-it's the one
that we got before.
It could be that these orbs are
some kind of advanced
extraterrestrial technology,
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Some special energy
that's sent out and can appear.
Holy !
- Right there.
- What is that? What is that?
We got, we got something.
Hold on. Right there.
- Yeah, I see it.
- Oh, yeah.
Many of the orbs seen
at Skinwalker Ranch
also display capabilities
far beyond those
of any man-made aircraft.
Look right here.
This thing is really
clipping along.
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
Can you replay that,
- please?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And gone.
There are things
that they're doing
that we do not have
modern technology
that can do these things.
And one of the most,
uh, telling is
this blue, silver-like orb
flies out of the sky,
flies into solid rock mesa
and seems to be inside the mesa
for about
three-quarters of a mile
and comes out of the mesa,
at the same speed,
same direction,
same kind of pace.
So that would be
in the realm of transmedium
and that's something we
definitely don't know how to do.
As far as Dr. Taylor
is concerned,
while the glowing orb
phenomenon is certainly real,
more data is needed
before a theory can be formed
as to just what these balls
of light might be.
But based on the many orb events
he has observed
at Skinwalker Ranch,
he believes
it's entirely possible
that these orbs are
passing between dimensions.
I always wonder
if these phenomena were
coming from a parallel universe
and not necessarily having
to come from another planet.
Is it true? Do we know?
We don't have
any evidence that tells us
it's a nuts-and-bolts craft
from Zeta Reticuli
or that it's an orb
from some other dimension.
I have no idea.
But since it is a possibility,
it deserves
scientific investigation.
The team at Skinwalker Ranch
continues to search for answers
as to what the glowing orbs are
and where they come from.
But the biggest question
concerning these mysterious orbs
is: why are they here?
- I can still see it.
- It's right there.
I mean it-it was
over top of the ranch.
They seem to be
coming out of nowhere,
hovering over the ranch.
Are these orbs
surveillance devices?
Or are they the actual
creatures themselves?
Wow, that was so cool!
The science,
the experiments
that have been done
at Skinwalker Ranch,
some of them have
baffling, baffling results.
Do you see the orange light
coming from the west?
What in the hell is that?
What is the origin for this?
I think the extraterrestrials
were called The Watchers
for a reason.
Because what do they do?
They watch. They observe us.
If extraterrestrial orbs
have been monitoring our planet,
what could they want?
Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
clues can be found by examining
the numerous orb encounters
that have been reported
at nuclear missile facilities.
As tensions
in the Cold War rise,
the military is on high alert
to stop Soviet aggression.
Key to the nation's defense is
an arsenal of nuclear
Minuteman ballistic missiles.
Ten of these powerful weapons
are stored in silos
at Malmstrom Air Force Base
in Montana.
Early in the morning
on March 27th,
a soldier is conducting
a routine patrol at Malmstrom
when he notices
a red glowing orb is
flying toward the base.
Soldiers above the ground
reported
this very large, substantial,
glowing red orb,
spherical type of glowing thing
coming to where they were.
Stationed more
than 40 feet below ground,
in the missile control center,
was Lieutenant Robert Salas.
I was in charge of the
we call it
a launch control facility,
which controlled
ten nuclear missiles.
These were Minuteman I
intercontinental
ballistic missiles.
What I recall is getting
a call from my topside guard.
There was some lights
flying over the facility.
They were behaving strangely.
They were flying, very fast,
stopping in midair,
reversing course.
They heard no engine noise.
And he said,
"These are not aircraft, sir."
I said, "Well,
make sure you call me back
if something
more significant happens."
Maybe five, ten minutes later,
he calls back.
This time he's screaming
into the phone.
He's clearly frightened.
He said, "Uh, I'm looking"
"at a reddish orange
pulsating light
that's hovering
right above the front gate."
According to Lieutenant Salas,
moments after the call
the missiles began
to malfunction.
We hear these horns go off.
We looked over at the board,
this was a bank of lights.
The missiles started going
from operational to no-go.
We lost all ten
right in rapid succession
while this object was
still up there.
This was a case that,
whatever you think about UFOs,
illustrates why this is
a serious national
security problem.
Salas, at the time, was told
this isn't the first time
this has happened.
This was a systemic issue.
And for every one
of these cases we've heard,
who knows
how many cases there are
that we haven't heard?
Whoever,
whatever this craft was,
they knew exactly what it took
to disable our missile system.
Is it possible,
as Robert Salas believes,
that the glowing red orb
deactivated
the nuclear missiles?
According to UFO researchers,
a similar event occurred
four years later.
One astonishing story
happened on July 2, 1971.
It was aboard
the nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier,
the USS John F. Kennedy.
The witness who wrote
about this said
the ship was coming back
from the Caribbean,
and he sees
what he describes as a large
glowing orange,
pulsating luminous sphere.
This thing is
over the aircraft carrier,
and it's disabled
the ship's communications.
At which point the ship goes
on battle stations.
But for the next 20 minutes,
weapons systems failed
to function.
At some point
this sphere went away.
A few days later,
there was a message
from the ship's captain
on the intercom,
just saying no one was
expected to speak about it.
But the U.S. was not
the only nation
whose military reported
strange encounters with orbs.
The Soviet Union allegedly
experienced at least
one similar UFO encounter
at a nuclear missile base
in Ukraine.
In the 1980s,
the Soviet Union kept
its missile silos in Ukraine.
And one day, over one of those
missile sites, an orb appeared,
and the controllers in the site
looked down and they said,
"The missiles are fueling."
Nobody told them to fuel.
The controller tried to stop it.
They didn't have control.
Suddenly, they saw
on their boards
launch codes were being entered
for the United States.
The countdown started.
The panicked controllers
tried to shut it down,
but they couldn't.
As the countdown progressed,
suddenly they shut down,
and the orb flew away.
According to former intelligence
officer Lou Elizondo,
interaction between orbs
and nuclear facilities is
still happening.
These orbs were being witnessed
over our nuclear equities.
So think
of nuclear power plants,
nuclear weapons
development locations.
And so I think it's safe to say
that if you have
something that can enter
into controlled U.S. airspace
with complete anonymity
and unchallenged,
and outperform
anything that we have,
certainly, from a national
security perspective,
that's a problem.
Could it be
that extraterrestrial orbs
are interacting
with our military bases?
And if so, for what purpose?
The fact is,
many of these orbs
have been seen
over military installations
and military equipment.
To me, suggests that if this is
extraterrestrial in origin,
whoever is visiting,
they want to show
a more technologically
primitive society,
"Hey, we can turn off
your nuclear rocket silos."
Could the claims of Robert Salas
and Lou Elizondo be true?
That otherworldly
glowing orbs are
monitoring and interfering
with our nuclear arsenal?
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
and argue that the recent surge
in orb sightings is evidence
of an even more profound
alien agenda.
One that may be preparing
humanity for disclosure.
Mysterious glowing orbs seen
flying over our cities
and our shores.
Strange balls of light
witnessed hovering
over our nuclear facilities.
And small metallic orbs observed
flying through
an active combat zone.
If these orbs are
of nonhuman origin,
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe,
should we be concerned?
People often ask,
should we be taking this threat
more seriously?
And I would submit to you
that we're not sure
if it's even a threat yet.
In order to determine
if something's a threat,
from a national security
perspective,
it's a very simple calculus.
It's capabilities versus intent.
Now we've seen
some of the capabilities,
yet we have no idea the intent.
You can look at orbs
one of two ways.
They're either
natural phenomenon
or technology of some sort.
I tend to think
that's the answer.
I tend to think that
they are a technology
a very, very advanced
technology.
And I do not believe
that this is something
that we humans have created.
And I don't know
of any scientist
who's really come up
with a viable theory
to explain this.
So my assumption,
until indicated otherwise,
is that we're dealing with
technology from somewhere else.
The question comes down to:
why are they here?
And there's largely
two possible reasons.
One, these are
interdimensional travelers
from other planes of existence,
or perhaps they are some kind
of a reconnaissance craft.
It could be that these orbs are
some kind of advanced
extraterrestrial probe,
that's sent out
and it's observing
and taking calculations
and things like that, and then,
when it has
all the information it needs,
it suddenly disappears.
Could it be that glowing orbs
have been sent to Earth
to observe humanity?
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
and they suggest it's part
of a long-standing agenda
to help humankind.
If an extraterrestrial
civilization has achieved
the technological wherewithal
to travel across galaxies
and wanted to destroy us,
it would have already
happened a long time ago.
Today,
with all these orbs that we see,
more and more evidence is
coming forward
that we are certainly
not alone in the universe.
And with everything
that's going on right now,
I think
that this may be the time
when we will make contact.
The orbs have been here,
and they're still here.
And we should be doing more
scientific investigation because
the key to the mystery
of the orbs
may be the key
to the mystery of UFOs
and alien visitation.
From military encounters
during World War II
to modern-day
smartphone videos
do glowing orbs
provide evidence
of an otherworldly intelligence
that has been present on Earth
for more than 80 years?
And if they are now, day by day,
revealing themselves
in ever larger numbers,
could we soon meet
the extraterrestrial
or interdimensional entities
behind this phenomenon?
Perhaps solving the mystery
of the glowing orbs
will finally put us on the path
to being reunited
with our alien ancestors.
