NARRATOR: For more than four decades,
award-winning journalist Linda Moulton Howe
has reported on the most mysterious phenomena on Earth.
From bizarre animal deaths...
NICK POPE: She began to uncover connections
between UFOs and animal mutilations.
NARRATOR: ...to crop formations...
BILL BIRNES: Linda brought the idea of crop circles
into real science.
NARRATOR: ...otherworldly entities...
WILLIAM HENRY: Linda is one of the ultimate authorities
on extraterrestrials.
NARRATOR: ...and alien abductions.
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Linda realized that abductions also happened
thousands of years ago.
NARRATOR: Could the groundbreaking work of Linda Moulton Howe
provide the ultimate evidence
of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth?
LINDA MOULTON HOWE: If there is any bottom line to this life of mine,
always go after the truth.
The firm truth is,
we are not alone in this universe.
NARRATOR: 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.
Los Angeles, California. February 10, 2024.
(audience cheering)
NARRATOR: Acclaimed investigative journalist,
author, and filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe
speaks before a packed room at the annual Conscious Life Expo.
HOWE: I'm one of the few voices
that kept trying to understand
about something that is difficult and complex.
NARRATOR: Since the late 1970s, Linda has been covering stories
that fall under the category of what she calls
"high strangeness"
and sharing her research with a public
eager to learn more about the unexplainable phenomena
that other journalists refuse to touch.
I've been to multiple UFO events with Linda.
And people love her. They cheer for her.
People are deeply invested with Linda Moulton Howe
because Linda is a trailblazer.
She put certain things on the map
that before were not really talked about.
GEORGE KNAPP: Linda Moulton Howe took on
the weird topic of cattle mutilations
back at a time when it didn't have much credibility.
She's taken on topics that other reporters wouldn't touch
and changed the world.
BIRNES: Linda Moulton Howe is one of the most important figures
in modern journalism because
she brought the science and the evidence
of high strangeness into the mainstream.
HOWE: But I have interviewed at least
1,600 people in the human abduction syndrome
over the last 40 years.
BIRNES: For the first time, everyday people could talk
about things like flying saucers,
alien abductions,
cattle mutilations, and crop circles.
What Linda Moulton Howe taught us
is that people who saw strange things weren't crazy.
POPE: Linda is a hugely influential
and important figure in the UFO community.
Arguably, though, she's not what you would call a ufologist.
Linda was and is an investigative journalist.
She has a credentialed past, which includes
a Peabody, couple of regional Emmys.
GEORGE NOORY: Linda came up through the school of hard knocks
where most of this business was oriented to men.
Linda's work is ethical, award-winning,
and her ability as a person,
as a broadcaster is second to none.
NARRATOR: For more than four decades,
Linda has investigated almost every aspect
of high strangeness
using skills she first honed as a reporter in Los Angeles.
HOWE: From 1966 to 1968,
I was at Stanford University
getting a master's degree in communication.
And I went to work in hard news at KNBC in Los Angeles.
My goal was to focus on science,
medicine, and the environment.
This is who I am. I've always been very left brain.
Everything I did was hard science.
NARRATOR: Linda's career was marked
by multiple awards and recognitions.
But after a decade working in television news,
her career would take a sharp turn.
Logan County, Colorado.
September 1979.
Linda Moulton Howe--
now director of special projects at KMGH-TV,
the local CBS station in Denver--
conducts an off-the-record interview
with Sheriff Harry "Tex" Graves.
For years, Sheriff Graves has been investigating
a series of bizarre, unexplained animal mutilations.
HOWE: He laid out something like 166 Polaroids
that he had taken himself as sheriff
and started going through and showing me,
here they take an ear, eye, tongue, jaw, genitals, rectum.
Here the animal was alive long enough
to bury its head in the dirt
while these excisions were taken.
"Sheriff, what do you think we're dealing with here?"
And he said, "Linda, the perpetrators
"of these bloodless, trackless animal mutilations
are creatures from outer space."
Instantly, my entire body felt like
it had been hit with an electric charge.
That was the turning point in my entire career.
From that moment going forward,
I wanted to understand how this was possible.
NARRATOR: Shortly after her initial interview
with Sheriff Graves, Linda and her crew
began work on a documentary about cattle mutilations.
For the next month, Linda conducted interviews
with local ranchers, law enforcement officials,
journalists, and independent investigators.
The more she learned, the more she became convinced
the phenomenon has an otherworldly origin.
In those 30 days,
there was a transmutation of my very soul
because everywhere we went
I'm now confronted with dozens and dozens of witnesses
describing beams of light that had the ability to levitate
an animal up to something, and when it is put down,
there they have found a mutilated animal.
No blood.
No tracks around these animals.
And I still can remember a feeling of...
do I want to continue
going into what is happening?
POPE: It's not an easy transition
to go, as Linda did,
from one moment specializing in hard news
to then suddenly go to UFOs and animal mutilations.
It is something that some people would regard as career suicide.
I felt like I had no choice
but to try to get to what is behind
what I learned was happening worldwide.
NARRATOR: But while she felt strongly that the topic
was both compelling and important,
Linda was also aware that airing this documentary
was the biggest risk she'd ever taken in her career.
HOWE: Who or what is killing and mutilating these animals?
I've traveled through Wyoming, New Mexico,
and Colorado exploring this mystery.
I think that the day before the broadcast was about
the most worried that I'd ever been in my life.
I knew that what I was reporting was absolutely true,
but I was nervous
and I think I was scared.
Most everyone in the Western United States
heard about cattle mutilations in 1975.
NARRATOR: On May 25, 1980,
KMGH-TV Denver
premieres Linda Moulton Howe's documentary A Strange Harvest.
Now, this looks kind of dry right over here.
But if you'll recall, when we first spotted this,
that was just like if you'd taken
a pair of scissors and cut out
a round piece of paper, you know?
Like you might do-- a kid might do in school.
NARRATOR: The broadcast draws a record-breaking audience
of nearly a quarter million viewers.
Almost immediately, calls began pouring into the station.
HOWE: It was like an explosion.
The switchboard for an entire week,
they were just constantly apologizing.
"Linda, we cannot keep up with the phone calls."
And then the mail.
I think, in that first week,
that it was something like over 400 letters.
NARRATOR: During the course of her reporting,
Linda became convinced
that the forces behind the cattle mutilations
were not of this world.
But her next investigation would involve
the mysterious dealings
of the United States government.
NARRATOR: Three years after the success of her film
A Strange Harvest,
Linda Moulton Howe meets with executives at HBO
to pitch a new documentary.
HOWE: So now
I have a whole new project.
It's completely different.
There's this great story of a UFO landing
at Ellsworth Air Force Base in North Dakota.
And I had written a script
as an example of what I thought we could do.
And I called it UFOs: The E.T. Factor.
And Jean Abounader was head of documentary,
and she liked the script,
and I signed a contract that afternoon.
And that night Peter Gersten,
the attorney for Citizens Against UFO Secrecy,
called me and said, "I want to talk about something
to see if you could incorporate it in your script."
NARRATOR: Peter Gersten told Linda about an intelligence officer
named Richard Doty.
Doty was a special agent for the Air Force Office
of Special Investigations at Kirtland Air Force Base
in New Mexico, and according to Gersten,
he had classified information about a UFO encounter
that he was willing to share with Linda.
RICHARD DOLAN: In 1983, Doty met with Linda
over at, uh, Kirtland Air Force Base.
This was an arranged meeting.
This is when Linda's, like,
doing her deep, deep dive into the cover-up
and the reality of the UFO phenomenon.
HOWE: He said, "My superiors have asked me to show this to you."
And he simultaneously opens a drawer,
pulls out a manila envelope, and he takes out...
I think it was about 12 pages, typed.
And I still can feel the strangeness
as I'm now looking at
all caps: "Briefing Paper
"for the President of the United States
"of America on the Subject of Unidentified Aerial Craft."
I cannot believe it. I remember it was just like that.
It was talking about how our government has been
investigating UFOs and ETs for decades.
It's all real.
I was so agitated at-- My God, what is happening here?
Wh-Why is he showing me such a document?
NARRATOR: According to Linda, Doty also promised her access
to material that could be used in her upcoming documentary.
HOWE: Doty said, "We have film that you would be able to use."
And gave me names of two people
who would call me about a film from a real UFO,
and that they were gonna allow me to put this
in the documentary.
NARRATOR: But when Linda met with executives at the network
to update them on the latest developments,
they abruptly canceled her documentary about UFOs.
Determined to continue with the project,
Linda successfully pitched her special to producers at CNN.
But once again, just as the documentary
was set to proceed, it was dropped
due to internal pressure.
HOWE: So I'm blocked through HBO. I'm blocked at CNN.
What in the hell is going on here?
NARRATOR: Finally, when the UFO footage
promised to her by Richard Doty never materialized,
Linda came to suspect her project
had been shut down by forces within the government.
HOWE: I've been told this is how the CIA,
NSA, DIA have been working on UFO material since World War II.
They did not want anyone
showing anything on television
about animal mutilations, human abductions,
extraterrestrials, none of it.
But it didn't stop me.
It made me more curious.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that forces within the government
were responsible for canceling Linda's documentary projects?
According to Linda's daughter,
it was right around this time that both she and her mother
started to suspect that they were under surveillance.
LAURA HOWE: I feared for my mother.
I remember there were vans sometimes
sitting outside of our house.
And I would say, "Oh, the UPS truck's outside again."
She's like, "That's not a UPS truck."
You know, "Get away from the window."
-(tires screeching) -And then the van took off.
But it was kind of scary.
-(phone rings) -And our phone always seemed
to have the clicking noises on them.
(crackling static, clicking)
I had a man pull a gun on me.
And that was in North Carolina.
I'm working at this table,
and he pulls the chair out
and sits down and pulls out a gun.
And it was so surreal.
It was so weird that I don't think I even felt afraid.
He says, "You can't keep doing what you're doing."
And when he got up, he left me sitting there,
thinking I have every right in the universe
to keep doing the investigations that I'm doing.
NARRATOR: In the aftermath of her canceled documentary,
Linda became convinced that there are people
within the government who do not want
her investigating animal mutilations
or anything else that may have an extraterrestrial connection.
She also learned to be on the lookout for disinformation,
which she would encounter again
as she began investigating another mysterious phenomenon.
In a feature article, Time magazine explores
the mysterious crop circle phenomenon
that has been prominent across Great Britain since the 1970s.
Media scrutiny of the subject intensifies,
exposing similar occurrences across the globe.
I remember seeing the very first formations
that were being distributed in The New York Times
and others with the question marks,
"What is this?
"Is there somebody tramping around the earth
doing this as a hoax? What is happening?"
NARRATOR: On September 9, 1991,
retirees Doug Bower and Dave Chorley
of Southampton, England claimed responsibility
for the entire crop circle phenomenon.
And for much of the general public,
the mystery was solved.
But Linda found this explanation highly unlikely,
since these formations had been documented
in at least 23 countries.
HOWE: Doug and Dave, they weren't going around the world
to all these 23 countries.
I knew something is happening I do not understand.
But I want to understand.
NARRATOR: Once again, Linda Moulton Howe set out to investigate a mystery
that most other journalists wouldn't touch.
And she uncovered what some scientists consider
to be undeniable evidence...
...of an extraterrestrial connection.
NARRATOR: Linda Moulton Howe travels to the location
with the highest occurrences of crop circles in the world
to investigate the phenomenon up close.
Near a site called Milk Hill,
she finds herself at a 400-foot-long formation
which had just appeared in a wheat field.
I made the step into this huge pattern.
And that was the first time that I saw
layer, layer, layer.
Seven layers.
All of these different angles that were coming up
from all of these layers over this large, huge pattern.
And I have this feeling of a presence that is there.
NARRATOR: For Linda, the experience convinced her
that hoaxers like Doug Bower and Dave Chorley
were definitely not behind the crop circle mystery
and she set out to learn more about the phenomenon.
Linda has traveled widely and looked deeply
into this mystery.
She's interviewed
a lot of the farmers in whose fields
some of the most amazing formations have occurred.
And she's spoken to witnesses
who have seen strange balls of light
that in some cases, people believe
have actually caused those formations.
One of the most memorable of all time
was in the Cherhill area.
It was a huge pattern.
There were four of us, and we ended up feeling
that other intelligences are here,
and that the crop formations were somehow a signal.
NARRATOR: One of the most peculiar anomalies
that Linda observed while examining crop circles
had to do with plant nodes.
A node in a plant
is a structure on the stem where leaves, buds
or other parts of the plant may grow.
Linda noticed at many crop circles
that the plant nodes within the formation
were significantly longer than the plant nodes
outside the formation.
She collected samples and sent them
to biophysicist W.C. Levengood at the University of Michigan
for laboratory analysis.
What Levengood determined was that many of these nodes
acted as though they were subjected to
localized heat at the node,
which caused the water inside the node,
basically, to blow out, blast out,
causing the stalk to flop over the way it did.
IAN HALLING: The so-called blown nodes have actually been expanded
and blown out by, perhaps, microwave radiation.
Now, that's not done
by people with sticks and shovels
and-and pieces of board and-and rope.
Very much like with the cattle mutilations,
suddenly the crop circle phenomena took on
an elevated sort of perspective in the mainstream community.
NARRATOR: For Linda, just as important as pursuing the truth
is disseminating her findings as widely as possible.
But when she set out to try and release her research in a book,
she was turned away by a publisher in New York.
HOWE: I'm saying to the editor, "I want lots and lots
"of evidentiary material in documents and photos.
"I want it to be a book that would hold up
in a court of law," and he said,
"I'm very interested in doing your book,
"but under no circumstances
would we ever publish these disgusting animal photos."
And I remember saying, "Sir, they're evidentiary.
"They show there are no tracks.
"They show the absence of the blood on the animals.
"I have pathology reports that the way that the excisions
"have been made are not known to any technology
by any pathologist on this planet."
And he said it again. "Disgusting."
And what is always my backup?
(chuckles): I have to do it myself.
MEAD: My mother has made it a point
to do everything on her own
because it would be done the right way.
When she started her book, An Alien Harvest,
it took her ten years of research.
She doesn't like to stop unless she gets to what she wants.
NARRATOR: In 1989, Linda self-published
the culmination of her research in An Alien Harvest.
HALLING: The book Alien Harvest was the first time
that an investigative reporter had brought together
the documentation in book form that detailed
with over 300 illustrations,
maps and diagrams,
documents that detailed the link between animal mutilations
and non-human intelligence.
And it's still a very widely sought
and widely referenced book.
HOWE: I followed with Glimpses Volume I and Glimpses Volume II,
which had a lot of physical, straightforward evidence.
And those three books, I think,
are almost as important as the TV programs.
NARRATOR: Linda's books provided hard facts and compelling theories
and amassed more than a decade worth
of investigations on bizarre animal mutilations,
unexplained crop formations,
and another mysterious phenomenon
that had captured her attention: alien abductions.
NARRATOR: In the 1990s,
Art Bell's paranormal-themed radio talk show
Coast to Coast AM
boasted 15 million listeners nightly,
and Linda Moulton Howe considered it the perfect outlet
for sharing her investigations with the public.
...as you pointed out...
NARRATOR: Linda's regular appearances
as both a guest and a host
spanned 28 years, making her tenure on the show
longer than both Art Bell's
and current host George Noory's.
Linda's done some great reports over the years.
They run the gamut from, uh,
strange sightings to abduction cases.
You name it.
Anything paranormal that you've heard in your life,
Linda's covered it on Coast to Coast.
NARRATOR: While Linda was able to reach millions of listeners
on Coast to Coast, she still felt
she needed her own means for disseminating information
directly to the public.
HOWE: What was coming into me in that period of time
were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of letters.
I could open them,
but I realized that I didn't have any vehicle at all
in which to interact with the world.
And then I just said it out loud: "Earthfiles."
I want to do Earthfiles.
And that is how it began.
NARRATOR: On November 28, 1998,
Linda launched Earthfiles as an archive
for her many years of research
and created a website so that she could share the details
of her investigations with the public.
Almost ten years later,
in 2007, she started an Earthfiles YouTube channel,
where she could report live on her latest findings.
ANNOUNCER: This is Earthfiles.
The award-winning news site with the latest updates
in science, environment, and real X-files.
She's got over a quarter million followers worldwide.
She writes the program, she edits it,
she produces it, she does all the research. It is her.
And you can almost describe Earthfiles
as her magnum opus, really, because this will ultimately
live on as her archives.
NARRATOR: Earthfiles and Coast to Coast have provided Linda
a much wider audience with which to share her research,
but of even greater value to her is hearing from the public.
And even before she had these outlets,
Linda was contacted frequently by people who alleged
to have been abducted by extraterrestrials.
As the decade of 1990 turned,
I got a handwritten letter
from a woman named Linda Porter,
and she sent drawings.
And it was about her
coming into a relationship with extraterrestrials
in which they seem to be wanting her
to become, like, a spokesperson.
NARRATOR: Linda investigated Linda Porter's account
and included it in her book Glimpses of Other Realities.
BIRNES: The Linda Porter story
was one of the biggest stories Linda Howe ever wrote about
because it wasn't a crop circle or a cow.
Here's what it was:
a human being encountering creatures
from another realm, another reality.
HOWE: That was the first time in my work
as an investigative journalist that Linda Porter and others
all of a sudden began to be contacting me
about experiences they had with extraterrestrial beings.
They were coming to me to say, "Here are my drawings,
here is what I have seen."
NARRATOR: Author Whitley Strieber
became one of the most high-profile
alleged alien abductees
when he wrote about his encounter
with extraterrestrials in his 1987 book Communion.
But before he told his story to the world,
he told it to Linda Moulton Howe.
Linda is a very open-minded person,
and you don't feel uncomfortable sharing weird stories with her.
I don't think that either of us was too deep into
the abduction material when we met back in 1986.
But nobody was.
But she didn't have any problem with my story.
She just wanted to know more.
NARRATOR: As with animal mutilations and crop circles,
Linda immersed herself in the abduction phenomenon,
and it led to a major revelation.
HOWE: I've interviewed, now, more than 3,000 people
in the abduction syndrome.
Right from the beginning, I was confused
about the various physical descriptions.
The standing up reptiles,
the standing up Greys,
and the Nordic blondes.
We have tall whites, ten to 12 feet tall.
That's biblical. Those are like the giants.
POPE: The cases that Linda looked into
allowed us to tell a much deeper,
richer story about multiple races, different agendas
and programs that are going on.
The idea that humanity may be the subject
of some extraterrestrial program of some sort.
NARRATOR: Could it be that there are multiple intelligences
that have been interacting with our planet
for thousands of years?
As far as Linda Moulton Howe is concerned,
the answer is a resounding yes.
And as evidence, she points not only to
the accounts of alleged alien abductees,
but also another group of people
who have confided in her:
government whistleblowers.
The black pyramid was determined to be
some type of a power generation system.
NARRATOR: For decades,
government and military insiders have
shared their extraterrestrial encounters
with Linda Moulton Howe.
And through her Earthfiles podcast,
Linda has been able to get their stories
out to the public without exposing their identities.
A man who heard my July 2012 Coast to Coast AM broadcast
about the underground dark pyramid in Alaska
called and told me that his once military pilot father
had secretly flown in a civilian Huey helicopter
to the underground pyramid site
between Nome and Mount Denali.
He said his father was told
that the black pyramid was more secret
than the Manhattan atomic bomb project in World War II.
Linda Moulton Howe learned how to cultivate sources,
protect sources. And, as a result,
people would share information with her,
sensitive information,
that they didn't know what else to do with.
DOLAN: People go to her, they trust her.
A lot of these military guys-- they really single her out.
They know she's very, very smart,
very dogged in her persistence.
And she will track a story down to its conclusion.
HOWE: I have had so many people
who have come to me from military backgrounds,
from classified backgrounds,
and they had to show me IDs 'cause I've made that clear.
If you want to talk to me
from a military point of view,
you must at least show me a DD214 and ID.
NARRATOR: Linda has gained incredible insight
from the whistleblowers who have shared their stories
with her over the years.
And in one instance,
the account of a military insider led to the discovery
of a previously unknown phenomenon.
In her regular half-hour science segment
on Art Bell's Dreamland,
Linda conducts an interview
with former Air Force First Lieutenant Robert Salas,
who tells an incredible story.
NARRATOR: Salas was stationed at the Malmstrom Air Force Base
in Montana and was in a charge
of a launch control facility when, on March 24, 1967,
multiple Air Force personnel
witnessed a large UFO appear
over the Minuteman missile system.
ROBERT SALAS: All of a sudden...
(alarm blaring)
...we hear these horns go off, a lot of horns,
which... we knew what that meant:
that it was a problem.
So we looked over at the board.
This was a bank of lights.
And the missiles started going
from operational to no-go in seconds.
We lost all ten right in rapid succession
while this object was still up there.
NARRATOR: The information shared by Lieutenant Robert Salas
struck a chord with Linda,
as she had heard a very similar account
nearly two decades earlier from her own brother.
In November of 1975, late at night,
the phone rang.
It was my brother.
He was in the U.S. Air Force
stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana
on a Minuteman missile site.
Everybody-- including him--
see 300-feet diameter, estimated,
orange fluorescent light.
It was right over one of the Minuteman missiles.
So, I have that as a personal experience
with my own brother.
NARRATOR: To many, Linda's interview with Robert Salas
reinforced the notion that the government knows
much more about UFOs than it is sharing with the public
and emboldened other witnesses to come forward with details
of similar incidents.
SALAS: That interview from Linda inspired
other witnesses to come forward.
I've been told this by those witnesses.
One is David Schindele.
David Schindele was a captain in the Air Force,
stationed at Minot Air Force Base,
who, in 1966,
relieved a crew, like mine,
whose missiles had been shut down
during a UFO encounter.
HOWE: These cases having to do with UFOs
at our nuclear missile sites
happened in the '60s, the '70s, the '80s
and ongoing, as far as I know.
Fast forward to the modern day,
it's just been revealed that Robert Salas
has briefed the United States Congress
about his story
and has also told it to the Pentagon's
All-Domain Anomaly Resolution office.
Congress has mandated the DOD
and the intelligence community
to report on this alleged link
between UFOs and nuclear facilities.
The testimony of Robert Salas
is a key part of that,
so Linda's reporting back in the '90s
laid the groundwork for what's happening now.
NARRATOR: Linda Moulton Howe has been instrumental in bringing
what were once considered fringe topics
into the mainstream.
Today, she is considered
one of the foremost authorities on the UFO phenomenon,
and she has also become a prominent voice
in the call for government disclosure.
NARRATOR: At the National Press Club,
a panel consisting of former Congressional members
gathers for the Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure.
BAILIFF: I do hereby affirm...
ALL: I do hereby affirm...
BAILIFF: ...that I will tell the truth...
ALL: ...that I will tell the truth...
NARRATOR: Over the course of five days,
the panel receives sworn testimonies concerning UFOs
from former military personnel, government officials
and esteemed UFO researchers
including investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe.
There is no doubt that the United States government,
since World War II and the FDR and Truman administrations,
has known about the extraterrestrial interactions
with Earth and that their policies of denial
in the alleged interest of national security
are still in effect.
Linda is very clearly one of the shining stars
of the UFO disclosure movement.
She presented herself as one of the ultimate authorities
on extraterrestrials and especially
about the U.S. government's cover-up
of the existence of extraterrestrials.
Back in 2013,
no one in Congress and the Senate were talking about UFOs
or extraterrestrial disclosure or any of these topics.
And it's very, very possible that without that
we would not have the UFO disclosure movement
that we have today.
NARRATOR: In July 2023,
the House Oversight Committee held a congressional hearing
to record testimony about UFO activity
from three notable whistleblowers:
Retired Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor,
and former Air Force Intelligence Officer
David Grusch.
I was informed in the course of my official duties
of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval
and reverse engineering program.
NARRATOR: Many believe that Linda Moulton Howe
laid much of the groundwork for this landmark event.
But as far as Linda's concerned,
we have a long way to go.
To still be living a classified reality
with no truth
that government after government knows--
that, to me, falls into the category
of an incomprehensible darkness.
NARRATOR: Throughout her career, Linda has faced ridicule,
intimidation, and even threats to her life.
But none of it has deterred Linda
from her commitment to revealing the truth.
The firm truth is
we are not alone in this universe.
MEAD: She will always be searching for the truth.
She does it for herself, for people, for mankind.
HENRY: Linda is doggedly fighting against
the status quo and breaking down doors,
opening new windows of-of consciousness
and understanding to humanity.
BIRNES: What Linda did was she humanized people
that you would think are crazy.
These are real people with real experiences,
and this is what they saw.
And so, along comes Linda Moulton Howe
and says, "Hey, this is not fantasy.
It's real."
And she showed the evidence.
TSOUKALOS: Linda's work is not done.
She knows and we all know
that Linda is on the right track.
Her legacy is that of a pioneer.
And we should all be so lucky
if we only do a fraction of what she can do.
If I don't report this,
who will?
If there is any bottom line
to this life of mine,
it's always go after the light,
which, for me, is you tell the truth.
NARRATOR: From unexplained animal mutilations
to extraordinary crop formations
to stories of underground alien bases,
Linda Moulton Howe has investigated
the most mysterious phenomena on Earth
and put them in the public eye.
Could it be that they are all pieces of the same puzzle?
Perhaps through Linda's daring inquiries
we are getting closer to seeing the full picture,
which will reveal a reality far different
than we ever imagined.
