1
00:00:01,927 --> 00:00:03,927
I remember raising my hand up
2
00:00:03,507 --> 00:00:04,772
and pulling back the curtains,
3
00:00:04,927 --> 00:00:07,927
and that's when I came
face-to-face
4
00:00:07,121 --> 00:00:09,652
with what we now know
as a Grey.
5
00:00:09,807 --> 00:00:12,152
Millions of people claiming
6
00:00:12,307 --> 00:00:16,485
to be abducted
by extraterrestrials.
7
00:00:16,541 --> 00:00:19,279
How many of you have had
an experience
8
00:00:19,281 --> 00:00:21,619
- of having been abducted?
- Wow.
9
00:00:21,794 --> 00:00:26,252
Ancient stories
of humans brought off planet
10
00:00:26,407 --> 00:00:28,399
by otherworldly beings.
11
00:00:28,421 --> 00:00:32,552
Angels, demons, spirits...
12
00:00:32,641 --> 00:00:35,565
are these the same
extraterrestrial entities
13
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:39,079
who are interacting
with us today?
14
00:00:39,101 --> 00:00:44,039
My mother and I both had this
dreamlike experience
15
00:00:44,061 --> 00:00:46,061
of being taken to a craft.
16
00:00:45,894 --> 00:00:49,912
And I saw these
nonhuman entities.
17
00:00:49,914 --> 00:00:53,812
Could these incredible
stories really be true?
18
00:00:53,921 --> 00:00:58,185
And if so, why are humans
being taken?
19
00:00:58,241 --> 00:01:00,159
You have to ask yourself
20
00:01:00,334 --> 00:01:03,334
what is really going on here?
Because these cases
21
00:01:02,841 --> 00:01:05,365
simply defy explanation.
22
00:01:40,121 --> 00:01:42,792
Pasadena, California.
23
00:01:42,947 --> 00:01:47,259
June 16, 2018.
24
00:01:47,414 --> 00:01:50,859
Thousands of people from all
over the world gather
25
00:01:50,881 --> 00:01:53,165
for AlienCon,
26
00:01:53,321 --> 00:01:57,359
a three-day event to discuss
and explore the possibility
27
00:01:57,514 --> 00:02:01,259
that intelligent life exists
beyond our planet,
28
00:02:01,261 --> 00:02:04,792
and may have visited Earth
in the distant past.
29
00:02:04,794 --> 00:02:08,192
It's one thing for people to say
30
00:02:08,367 --> 00:02:11,285
that not only have they
seen a UFO,
31
00:02:11,287 --> 00:02:14,225
but they've had an experience,
a contact...
32
00:02:14,281 --> 00:02:16,281
During one panel
led by former
33
00:02:15,767 --> 00:02:18,845
Ministry of Defence
investigator Nick Pope,
34
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:21,585
a group of experts talk about
a significant
35
00:02:21,587 --> 00:02:24,359
and controversial subject:
36
00:02:24,381 --> 00:02:26,885
alien abductions.
37
00:02:26,887 --> 00:02:28,959
Looking out at all of you,
38
00:02:29,134 --> 00:02:32,545
one of the things that we would
like to know is,
39
00:02:32,547 --> 00:02:37,012
how many of you have had
an experience you think
40
00:02:37,187 --> 00:02:39,239
might involve
having been abducted?
41
00:02:39,261 --> 00:02:43,779
Can you all put your hands up
who think that you have been?
42
00:02:45,361 --> 00:02:48,545
Wow, that's a lot of people.
43
00:02:48,601 --> 00:02:51,019
If anyone feels comfortable
44
00:02:51,194 --> 00:02:53,312
about coming up
to the microphone,
45
00:02:53,467 --> 00:02:56,985
we would love to hear
your stories.
46
00:02:57,161 --> 00:02:59,305
So, uh, please, yeah.
47
00:02:59,307 --> 00:03:01,307
My name's, uh, Alice Green.
48
00:03:00,634 --> 00:03:03,619
And, um, 40 years ago,
49
00:03:03,774 --> 00:03:08,219
uh, when I was 15, I, um,
I had an abduction experience.
50
00:03:08,261 --> 00:03:11,165
There was a huge spaceship
over my house,
51
00:03:11,167 --> 00:03:15,167
and, uh, one minute I'm in my
bed and the next minute
52
00:03:13,141 --> 00:03:15,141
I'm up in the spaceship.
53
00:03:15,087 --> 00:03:17,872
I wanted to call it a dream,
54
00:03:17,874 --> 00:03:20,874
because I didn't want to call it
an abduction experience
55
00:03:19,774 --> 00:03:22,219
for a long time.
56
00:03:22,221 --> 00:03:24,221
I started having
one of those experiences,
57
00:03:23,901 --> 00:03:29,859
out of body, but not just in
the vicinity.
58
00:03:29,861 --> 00:03:32,239
I kind of started entering
the space realm,
59
00:03:32,394 --> 00:03:34,812
and I just kept going.
60
00:03:34,967 --> 00:03:37,967
And it just got scarier
and scarier for me.
61
00:03:37,401 --> 00:03:39,401
I didn't know what was going on.
62
00:03:39,494 --> 00:03:41,494
The alien that I spoke to
63
00:03:41,074 --> 00:03:42,985
was about to my shoulder,
64
00:03:43,041 --> 00:03:45,041
maybe four and a half feet tall,
65
00:03:44,701 --> 00:03:46,352
and he had three fingers.
66
00:03:46,354 --> 00:03:49,819
He was like
your typical grey alien.
67
00:03:49,821 --> 00:03:51,821
And I had several encounters
over the course
68
00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:53,332
of the next couple years.
69
00:03:53,334 --> 00:03:56,334
I never wanted to tell anybody
because I thought my friends
70
00:03:55,341 --> 00:03:57,341
and family would think
I was crazy.
71
00:03:57,328 --> 00:03:58,739
Millions of people
72
00:03:58,894 --> 00:04:02,265
taken by
extraterrestrial beings?
73
00:04:02,267 --> 00:04:05,419
If alien abductions
are happening,
74
00:04:05,574 --> 00:04:08,339
as experiencers at this panel
75
00:04:08,341 --> 00:04:11,179
and many other
alleged abductees claim,
76
00:04:11,181 --> 00:04:14,499
what evidence is there
to support their stories?
77
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:19,379
As the number of recorded
abduction cases has increased
78
00:04:19,401 --> 00:04:23,152
over the last several decades,
experts in a variety of fields
79
00:04:23,307 --> 00:04:26,819
have worked
to find this evidence.
80
00:04:26,821 --> 00:04:30,685
In 1991, my colleague
Budd Hopkins and I
81
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:34,599
got funding for a national poll
about the abduction phenomenon
82
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:36,985
through the Roper Organization.
83
00:04:37,161 --> 00:04:40,972
We found that at least two
percent of the American public,
84
00:04:41,127 --> 00:04:44,245
and at most, perhaps even five
percent of the American public,
85
00:04:44,401 --> 00:04:46,219
were abductees.
86
00:04:46,394 --> 00:04:50,252
Even with two percent, we're
dealing with an enormous number
87
00:04:50,254 --> 00:04:53,254
of people who've been abducted
throughout the world.
88
00:04:53,087 --> 00:04:55,319
Of course, when people
from the outside
89
00:04:55,474 --> 00:04:57,085
look at
the abduction phenomenon,
90
00:04:57,261 --> 00:05:00,099
they think that
this is just neurological.
91
00:05:00,121 --> 00:05:02,121
I wish that was the case.
92
00:05:02,141 --> 00:05:06,232
That would be wonderful
if that were the case.
93
00:05:06,407 --> 00:05:09,052
I can say, from having
interviewed now
94
00:05:09,207 --> 00:05:12,779
about 1,600 people
in the abduction syndrome,
95
00:05:12,801 --> 00:05:15,519
there are common denominators.
96
00:05:15,541 --> 00:05:20,739
I would say the vast majority
don't know details.
97
00:05:20,761 --> 00:05:24,625
They just remember pieces.
98
00:05:24,681 --> 00:05:27,999
They might remember,
"I saw these eyes,
99
00:05:28,021 --> 00:05:31,219
and they were big and black
and slanted."
100
00:05:31,374 --> 00:05:34,372
They will hear either
a buzzing sound,
101
00:05:34,527 --> 00:05:37,459
or there might be a clicking.
102
00:05:37,481 --> 00:05:41,481
Or in the room, there might be,
like, a little orb of light,
103
00:05:41,161 --> 00:05:43,265
or several orbs of light.
104
00:05:43,321 --> 00:05:46,419
They won't be able to move.
105
00:05:46,421 --> 00:05:50,485
And the paralysis is always
described the same way.
106
00:05:50,641 --> 00:05:54,785
They can move their eyes,
they can see.
107
00:05:54,841 --> 00:05:58,139
They can't move their head.
108
00:05:58,294 --> 00:06:02,979
They will say they see their
bedroom wall just disappear.
109
00:06:03,134 --> 00:06:06,105
Or they are taken
right through the wall.
110
00:06:06,261 --> 00:06:08,899
Or they're taken
through a window.
111
00:06:09,054 --> 00:06:12,245
Or they are taken
through the ceiling.
112
00:06:12,421 --> 00:06:16,305
And then 100% of people,
113
00:06:16,461 --> 00:06:21,645
their next consciousness is
waking up, often the sun is up,
114
00:06:21,801 --> 00:06:24,145
and they know
something's happened,
115
00:06:24,201 --> 00:06:26,352
but they don't know what.
116
00:06:26,461 --> 00:06:29,372
Well,
when you start adding it up
117
00:06:29,381 --> 00:06:31,252
across 40, 50,000 cases,
118
00:06:31,254 --> 00:06:33,254
the number one piece
of compelling evidence
119
00:06:33,301 --> 00:06:36,119
is the credibility
of the individual.
120
00:06:36,294 --> 00:06:39,405
We have doctors,
lawyers, politicians.
121
00:06:39,561 --> 00:06:42,561
So these are people
who have a lot at stake
122
00:06:42,434 --> 00:06:45,434
if they were to say,
"Hey, I've been abducted
123
00:06:44,394 --> 00:06:46,394
by an alien,"
or something like this,
124
00:06:45,927 --> 00:06:50,212
so you have to take
those people seriously.
125
00:06:50,367 --> 00:06:53,379
There are really only two
possibilities here.
126
00:06:53,381 --> 00:06:56,092
Either we're dealing
with a mass delusion
127
00:06:56,267 --> 00:06:59,519
on an unprecedented scale,
128
00:06:59,694 --> 00:07:05,119
or what these people are saying
is actually literally happening
129
00:07:05,274 --> 00:07:10,039
in a physical sense, and these
alien abductions are real.
130
00:07:13,207 --> 00:07:15,759
But if millions
of people have been abducted
131
00:07:15,914 --> 00:07:19,679
by extraterrestrials... or even
a fraction of that number...
132
00:07:19,834 --> 00:07:22,792
what could be
the reason behind it?
133
00:07:22,947 --> 00:07:24,492
And why now?
134
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:28,119
While what we call
alien abductions
135
00:07:28,274 --> 00:07:31,285
may only have been reported
in modern times,
136
00:07:31,361 --> 00:07:34,532
ancient astronaut theorists
claim there is evidence
137
00:07:34,534 --> 00:07:36,632
that this phenomenon
has been happening
138
00:07:36,741 --> 00:07:39,265
for thousands of years.
139
00:07:39,441 --> 00:07:41,992
In ancient biblical texts,
140
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:46,745
and also in other textual
references, we have accounts
141
00:07:46,747 --> 00:07:52,165
of people ascending and
descending from and to the sky
142
00:07:52,167 --> 00:07:57,659
with fiery chariots
and flying type of craft.
143
00:07:57,834 --> 00:08:02,085
And that to me indicates that
what these accounts refer to
144
00:08:02,087 --> 00:08:06,925
are similar
to modern-day abductions.
145
00:08:06,927 --> 00:08:09,865
Those accounts
are eyewitness accounts.
146
00:08:09,941 --> 00:08:13,099
They're not told
in the third person,
147
00:08:13,101 --> 00:08:15,545
but it's actually
"I, Ezekiel, witnessed."
148
00:08:15,701 --> 00:08:17,545
"I, Enoch, witnessed."
149
00:08:17,601 --> 00:08:19,185
"I, Abraham, did this."
150
00:08:19,187 --> 00:08:20,945
"I walked through there."
151
00:08:20,947 --> 00:08:26,072
Also, in ancient China,
and also, in ancient Egypt,
152
00:08:26,247 --> 00:08:29,319
are there stories of people
having been visited
153
00:08:29,494 --> 00:08:34,879
or having gone up to the sky to
visit with the so-called gods.
154
00:08:35,034 --> 00:08:40,925
What better way to describe
an extraterrestrial encounter?
155
00:08:41,081 --> 00:08:44,905
So today, we call it
an "alien abduction."
156
00:08:44,961 --> 00:08:50,765
In previous centuries, it was
called by different names.
157
00:08:50,921 --> 00:08:53,085
But we recognize
from the experience
158
00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:54,852
that they are identical.
159
00:08:55,027 --> 00:08:58,179
And therefore, it adds validity
160
00:08:58,354 --> 00:09:04,092
to this not being a modern myth,
but a very ancient problem.
161
00:09:04,201 --> 00:09:08,332
Why today, then,
is it such an important issue?
162
00:09:08,487 --> 00:09:12,487
It very well may be that we did
not recognize in the past
163
00:09:11,174 --> 00:09:13,665
how widespread
these experiences were.
164
00:09:13,667 --> 00:09:18,099
Or it could be that there
is a stepping up of the agenda,
165
00:09:18,254 --> 00:09:20,972
and that the experience
is spreading greater,
166
00:09:20,974 --> 00:09:23,974
farther and wider
than it was in the past.
167
00:09:25,434 --> 00:09:27,345
Could these
extraordinary accounts,
168
00:09:27,347 --> 00:09:31,812
both past and present, be
describing an ongoing program
169
00:09:31,967 --> 00:09:35,479
of human abduction,
in spite of the skepticism
170
00:09:35,634 --> 00:09:37,679
with which they are
viewed by the public?
171
00:09:39,714 --> 00:09:43,892
And is there a smoking gun
that will finally establish
172
00:09:44,047 --> 00:09:48,232
that this phenomenon is real,
and still underway?
173
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:52,492
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
174
00:09:52,501 --> 00:09:55,859
one of the most well-documented
cases on record.
175
00:10:02,014 --> 00:10:04,979
Sheffield, Massachusetts.
176
00:10:05,001 --> 00:10:08,732
June 11, 2018.
177
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:11,059
Well, we're pretty much
here now.
178
00:10:11,214 --> 00:10:14,299
Author and researcher Mike Bara
179
00:10:14,301 --> 00:10:17,939
has joined abduction experiencer
Thom Reed to visit the site
180
00:10:18,094 --> 00:10:22,825
where Thom says he and members
of his family were abducted
181
00:10:22,827 --> 00:10:27,485
after encountering a strange UFO
nearly 50 years ago.
182
00:10:27,487 --> 00:10:31,279
Does it evoke any memories or
emotions, bring back anything?
183
00:10:31,434 --> 00:10:32,479
Like an anxiety.
184
00:10:32,654 --> 00:10:34,632
- Really?
- Or nervousness I guess.
185
00:10:34,787 --> 00:10:37,445
The UFO was reportedly seen,
186
00:10:37,621 --> 00:10:39,959
not only by the Reed family,
187
00:10:40,114 --> 00:10:42,119
but also by multiple witnesses
188
00:10:42,121 --> 00:10:44,532
all across
Western Massachusetts.
189
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:46,705
Okay. So, I guess here we are.
190
00:10:46,707 --> 00:10:49,212
- This is the spot, right?
- This is it.
191
00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:53,367
Can you kind of paint me
a picture of what was going on
192
00:10:51,761 --> 00:10:53,761
that night,
what happened the day
193
00:10:52,801 --> 00:10:54,801
- you drove up this road?
- Sure.
194
00:10:54,374 --> 00:10:57,374
Well, first of all,
it was, like, 90 degrees.
195
00:10:55,981 --> 00:10:58,981
It was a really hot night,
and there were
196
00:10:57,474 --> 00:10:59,474
an awful lot of families outside
197
00:10:58,801 --> 00:11:00,619
because it was Labor Day.
198
00:11:00,774 --> 00:11:03,774
It was September 1, 1969,
which was a Labor Day holiday.
199
00:11:03,681 --> 00:11:07,681
Okay. Can you describe what
people saw? I mean, did they see
200
00:11:06,081 --> 00:11:09,081
- just a light in the sky?
- They all saw something
201
00:11:07,901 --> 00:11:09,901
- a little bit different.
- What do you remember
202
00:11:09,434 --> 00:11:11,434
about what happened to you
and your family?
203
00:11:10,927 --> 00:11:13,927
There's a lot of time
that went by,
204
00:11:12,614 --> 00:11:14,614
and I only remember
little pieces of it.
205
00:11:14,394 --> 00:11:17,394
But, uh, we were coming
right down this road here,
206
00:11:17,247 --> 00:11:19,539
and we were heading
through the bridge.
207
00:11:19,694 --> 00:11:22,694
- Mm-hmm.
- And, uh, let-let me show you.
208
00:11:21,794 --> 00:11:23,865
- Okay. Sure.
- All right?
209
00:11:24,021 --> 00:11:27,419
At 9:00 p.m.
on the night of the sighting,
210
00:11:27,574 --> 00:11:30,599
ten-year-old Thom
and his mother, grandmother
211
00:11:30,641 --> 00:11:33,272
and brother were just minutes
212
00:11:33,274 --> 00:11:37,245
from getting home
when they crossed the bridge.
213
00:11:37,401 --> 00:11:41,401
Well, I was in the back seat
behind the driver, my mother.
214
00:11:39,674 --> 00:11:41,232
- Mm-hmm.
- And my grandmother,
215
00:11:41,387 --> 00:11:43,387
who was sitting
in the passenger seat,
216
00:11:42,801 --> 00:11:45,801
was the first one to notice
that there was a...
217
00:11:44,707 --> 00:11:47,707
an odd light
that didn't seem to make sense.
218
00:11:46,741 --> 00:11:50,132
There was a bleed of light
coming through the bridge.
219
00:11:50,307 --> 00:11:53,385
So light was coming
through places
220
00:11:53,387 --> 00:11:56,387
it should not have been
if it was just headlights.
221
00:11:54,814 --> 00:11:57,814
Yeah, it was coming
through the walls a little bit,
222
00:11:56,307 --> 00:11:58,319
coming through the floorboards.
223
00:11:58,494 --> 00:11:59,745
Then we exited the bridge.
224
00:11:59,901 --> 00:12:02,939
This is the spot right there.
225
00:12:03,114 --> 00:12:05,114
This is where
we first saw it, Mike.
226
00:12:04,501 --> 00:12:06,025
So, um,
227
00:12:06,181 --> 00:12:08,181
- can you describe what you saw?
- Yeah.
228
00:12:08,067 --> 00:12:11,067
It was like an orb,
if you would, or a sphere,
229
00:12:10,821 --> 00:12:14,821
and it was about, I'm gonna say
maybe 30, 40 yards round.
230
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,692
It was a perfectly round sphere,
231
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:20,694
and it had rods of light
that seemed to fire from it.
232
00:12:19,921 --> 00:12:23,921
So it looked like a shiver cone,
or an ice cream cone.
233
00:12:23,447 --> 00:12:26,692
So, none of you has ever seen
anything like this before?
234
00:12:26,694 --> 00:12:28,699
No, not like that, no.
235
00:12:28,741 --> 00:12:30,692
As Thom's mother continued
236
00:12:30,701 --> 00:12:32,692
driving slowly down the road,
237
00:12:32,847 --> 00:12:35,847
the object flew on a route
parallel to theirs
238
00:12:35,721 --> 00:12:40,339
until it took an abrupt turn,
cutting them off.
239
00:12:40,361 --> 00:12:42,699
The car comes to a stop,
240
00:12:42,701 --> 00:12:45,701
and there's a feeling
that came over the car,
241
00:12:45,374 --> 00:12:48,374
which was like a...
some type of a field.
242
00:12:47,147 --> 00:12:51,147
And we were just gone.
We aren't in the car anymore.
243
00:12:55,101 --> 00:12:59,101
And I remember seeing a light
or a door of some kind.
244
00:12:59,061 --> 00:13:02,061
And I was grabbed like this
on my left arm.
245
00:13:01,247 --> 00:13:04,247
And I was kind of pushed
towards this door.
246
00:13:04,067 --> 00:13:06,319
I went into the door.
247
00:13:06,494 --> 00:13:09,892
And I was sitting on...
almost like a-an autopsy table.
248
00:13:10,047 --> 00:13:12,805
And I saw what looked like
249
00:13:12,807 --> 00:13:16,807
some type of a large insect,
like an ant, if you will.
250
00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:19,072
Very stick-like legs,
bamboo almost.
251
00:13:19,227 --> 00:13:23,132
And that's what frightened me,
and then I was out.
252
00:13:23,134 --> 00:13:26,134
Then I remember waking
in the back of the car.
253
00:13:27,147 --> 00:13:31,845
If you could... remember
254
00:13:31,847 --> 00:13:34,499
every single detail,
every single thing that happened
255
00:13:34,654 --> 00:13:37,772
- to you, would you want to?
- I want to know,
256
00:13:37,774 --> 00:13:40,774
but at the same time,
I'm not sure I...
257
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:42,865
that's a good thing
at this point.
258
00:13:43,021 --> 00:13:44,892
It's-it's confusing.
259
00:13:44,901 --> 00:13:48,125
You know, I kind of need to know
everything that happened,
260
00:13:48,127 --> 00:13:53,127
but at the same time, there's
really no way for me to do that.
261
00:13:52,781 --> 00:13:55,499
For years following
the reported event,
262
00:13:55,654 --> 00:13:57,859
a number of local authorities
and UFO investigators
263
00:13:58,014 --> 00:13:59,685
tried to find evidence
264
00:13:59,741 --> 00:14:04,379
that would validate the Reed
family's incredible account.
265
00:14:04,534 --> 00:14:08,245
One of these was a local judge
named Kevin Titus,
266
00:14:08,401 --> 00:14:11,905
who has spent decades
interviewing eyewitnesses
267
00:14:12,061 --> 00:14:14,685
and verifying their testimony.
268
00:14:14,861 --> 00:14:18,605
It is his belief that enough
evidence exists to conclude
269
00:14:18,681 --> 00:14:21,839
that something otherworldly did,
in fact,
270
00:14:21,841 --> 00:14:26,805
happen on that summer night
nearly 50 years ago.
271
00:14:26,807 --> 00:14:28,807
Everybody couldn't explain
what they were seeing.
272
00:14:28,721 --> 00:14:30,721
People were saying...
calling in WSBS radio,
273
00:14:30,807 --> 00:14:32,319
and telling them
274
00:14:32,474 --> 00:14:35,474
that there's something going on
over in this area.
275
00:14:34,814 --> 00:14:37,892
And, uh, nobody was able to
276
00:14:37,894 --> 00:14:41,419
completely say what it was,
but everybody saw it.
277
00:14:41,441 --> 00:14:44,441
There was well over 250 people
that called in.
278
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:46,799
They were scared, hysterical.
279
00:14:46,954 --> 00:14:49,185
Some people couldn't explain
what they saw.
280
00:14:49,187 --> 00:14:51,279
They called the police.
281
00:14:51,434 --> 00:14:53,434
And they called
the Army Reserve Air Base.
282
00:14:53,341 --> 00:14:55,341
It's a fact, it did happen.
283
00:14:55,341 --> 00:14:59,341
When you have over 250 people
that saw something the same day,
284
00:14:58,221 --> 00:15:00,221
how can you say it wasn't true?
285
00:15:02,001 --> 00:15:04,792
Over 250 callers?
286
00:15:04,947 --> 00:15:10,779
And all reportedly seeing the
same unidentified flying object?
287
00:15:10,801 --> 00:15:14,092
For abduction researchers
and local authorities,
288
00:15:14,094 --> 00:15:16,792
the incredible number
of witnesses
289
00:15:16,794 --> 00:15:18,794
gave the Reed family's case
290
00:15:18,101 --> 00:15:21,879
an uncommonly high level
of credibility.
291
00:15:21,901 --> 00:15:27,092
So much so
that on November 3, 2015,
292
00:15:27,094 --> 00:15:31,605
Massachusetts Governor Charles
D. Baker issued a citation
293
00:15:31,761 --> 00:15:33,192
which formally recognized
294
00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:36,639
that a verified UFO event
had taken place,
295
00:15:36,661 --> 00:15:41,905
just as the Reed family
and many others had described.
296
00:15:42,061 --> 00:15:45,552
To date, no other
alien encounter has received
297
00:15:45,727 --> 00:15:49,405
this kind of acknowledgement.
298
00:15:49,481 --> 00:15:52,579
What I think is important
in all this is
299
00:15:52,601 --> 00:15:56,912
that we were the first to be
state-inducted as a true event.
300
00:15:56,914 --> 00:16:00,914
And I think that opens doors,
and paves the way for a lot
301
00:16:00,194 --> 00:16:03,194
of other people who deserve
to be taken more seriously.
302
00:16:04,007 --> 00:16:05,892
Do the verified accounts
303
00:16:05,981 --> 00:16:08,699
of the Sheffield incident
refute skeptics
304
00:16:08,854 --> 00:16:12,279
who claim that abduction stories
are unreliable?
305
00:16:12,454 --> 00:16:16,945
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and they suggest
306
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:19,785
that even more compelling
evidence can be found
307
00:16:19,787 --> 00:16:25,459
by examining memories buried
deep inside... the human mind.
308
00:16:30,221 --> 00:16:32,559
At one of the AlienCon panels
309
00:16:32,714 --> 00:16:35,692
examining
alien abduction phenomena,
310
00:16:35,847 --> 00:16:38,847
a member of the audience shares
what he believes
311
00:16:38,567 --> 00:16:41,585
to have been
a real-life alien encounter,
312
00:16:41,661 --> 00:16:43,699
one involving missing time.
313
00:16:43,854 --> 00:16:46,085
In about 1996,
314
00:16:46,161 --> 00:16:50,212
I saw a UFO, and it scared me
bad enough that I called 911.
315
00:16:50,214 --> 00:16:52,214
And it just flew
around a water tower
316
00:16:52,201 --> 00:16:54,201
across the street from my house,
and went
317
00:16:53,954 --> 00:16:56,692
into Oak Riparian Park,
and, uh, I grabbed
318
00:16:56,694 --> 00:16:59,694
my flashlight. I wanted
to see it, and I chased it.
319
00:17:00,421 --> 00:17:02,421
And the next thing I remember,
320
00:17:02,161 --> 00:17:05,161
I'm-I'm walking back.
But I have this thing.
321
00:17:04,594 --> 00:17:07,594
Every time I go back
to that same park,
322
00:17:06,334 --> 00:17:08,679
I feel like
I'm missing something.
323
00:17:08,834 --> 00:17:10,834
It's a very common thing,
324
00:17:10,667 --> 00:17:13,205
missing time
with the abduction experience.
325
00:17:13,261 --> 00:17:17,261
And so, yeah, so, I've been
helping a lot of people going...
326
00:17:17,234 --> 00:17:19,299
you know,
go through the regression.
327
00:17:19,301 --> 00:17:22,301
There's different ways
that you can do regression,
328
00:17:21,901 --> 00:17:23,939
but I definitely encourage you
to do that.
329
00:17:24,094 --> 00:17:26,119
Caroline Cory is an expert
330
00:17:26,294 --> 00:17:29,799
in hypnotic regression...
a meditative practice used
331
00:17:29,821 --> 00:17:33,239
to release missing time memories
that have been suppressed,
332
00:17:33,241 --> 00:17:37,039
but are still present
in a person's subconscious mind.
333
00:17:37,041 --> 00:17:39,372
For the past 16 years,
334
00:17:39,547 --> 00:17:43,139
she has specialized in helping
people remember and understand
335
00:17:43,294 --> 00:17:45,532
what they believe
to be an incident
336
00:17:45,707 --> 00:17:48,179
involving extraterrestrial
abduction.
337
00:17:50,347 --> 00:17:52,805
When people have a trauma,
338
00:17:52,807 --> 00:17:57,819
they tend to push it back
into the subconscious mind,
339
00:17:57,861 --> 00:17:59,599
because, on a conscious level,
340
00:17:59,754 --> 00:18:03,872
it is associated with fear,
anxiety.
341
00:18:03,874 --> 00:18:06,819
Hypnotherapy allows you
342
00:18:06,974 --> 00:18:09,479
to bring the mind
to a certain level
343
00:18:09,654 --> 00:18:13,525
so that the person is
so relaxed,
344
00:18:13,681 --> 00:18:16,039
they're almost in a trance.
345
00:18:16,194 --> 00:18:18,194
Then they can tap
into their subconscious mind
346
00:18:18,234 --> 00:18:20,219
and relive the experience.
347
00:18:20,374 --> 00:18:22,792
When you relive the experience,
you...
348
00:18:22,801 --> 00:18:25,099
right away,
you begin to heal it.
349
00:18:25,121 --> 00:18:29,065
That is what happens
in hypnotherapy.
350
00:18:29,241 --> 00:18:31,241
- Hey, Joe. How are you?
- Hi, Caroline.
351
00:18:31,194 --> 00:18:34,472
On June 11, 2018,
352
00:18:34,481 --> 00:18:36,479
Caroline met with Joe Cerletti
353
00:18:36,634 --> 00:18:39,212
for a hypnotic
regression session.
354
00:18:39,367 --> 00:18:41,845
Joe has had difficulty
remembering the details
355
00:18:41,847 --> 00:18:45,772
of an incident that happened
in the spring of 2008,
356
00:18:45,861 --> 00:18:50,219
when he and two friends were
driving on a dark highway
357
00:18:50,241 --> 00:18:53,732
just after midnight
near Oakland, California.
358
00:18:53,734 --> 00:18:57,172
We were just driving down
the road at an average speed,
359
00:18:57,174 --> 00:19:01,445
65, maybe 70 miles an hour,
and instantaneously,
360
00:19:01,621 --> 00:19:04,621
we weren't driving anymore
and the car was shut off.
361
00:19:04,647 --> 00:19:08,245
And we were parked
about 45 minutes away
362
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:11,752
in a parking lot for an
amusement park after hours
363
00:19:11,907 --> 00:19:14,385
and we were locked
inside the gate
364
00:19:14,541 --> 00:19:18,145
with no explanation how
we got there at that time.
365
00:19:18,147 --> 00:19:21,605
Joe realized
that he and his friends
366
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:24,785
may have been abducted
by extraterrestrials,
367
00:19:24,961 --> 00:19:27,092
extraterrestrials
which he believes
368
00:19:27,267 --> 00:19:30,432
deliberately blocked his memory.
369
00:19:30,521 --> 00:19:33,865
Today, Caroline will use
hypnotic regression
370
00:19:33,867 --> 00:19:35,867
to hopefully help
Joe remember more
371
00:19:35,921 --> 00:19:37,921
about what happened
on that night.
372
00:19:37,961 --> 00:19:39,825
You ready?
373
00:19:39,981 --> 00:19:42,212
- I am.
- Okay, here we go.
374
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:44,699
So, we're gonna sit up straight
375
00:19:44,701 --> 00:19:46,959
with the feet flat on the floor.
376
00:19:49,261 --> 00:19:52,619
And close your eyes.
377
00:19:52,621 --> 00:19:56,645
And take a deep breath
in through the nose.
378
00:19:56,821 --> 00:20:01,592
And exhale through the mouth.
379
00:20:01,747 --> 00:20:04,139
As you exhale...
380
00:20:04,294 --> 00:20:07,292
...you let go of the stress,
the tension.
381
00:20:07,447 --> 00:20:12,259
Focus on your hands,
on your arms...
382
00:20:12,414 --> 00:20:14,565
on your heart.
383
00:20:14,721 --> 00:20:18,405
We are now in the year 2008.
384
00:20:18,561 --> 00:20:23,359
You are driving
with two friends.
385
00:20:23,514 --> 00:20:27,052
And then what happens?
386
00:20:27,054 --> 00:20:29,899
A very bright flash of light
387
00:20:29,921 --> 00:20:31,921
just surrounds us
and absorbs us.
388
00:20:31,934 --> 00:20:33,945
Okay.
389
00:20:33,947 --> 00:20:35,947
I'm getting
these thoughts in my head
390
00:20:35,374 --> 00:20:37,374
that I've never heard before.
391
00:20:36,954 --> 00:20:39,639
- I'm trying to...
- Don't try.
392
00:20:39,794 --> 00:20:42,839
Don't assess or judge
or analyze.
393
00:20:42,994 --> 00:20:47,572
You are in the experience,
in the feeling.
394
00:20:47,574 --> 00:20:50,885
You feel safe, protected.
395
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:56,639
And the light,
where is the light coming from?
396
00:20:56,641 --> 00:20:58,659
Almost like
a portal being opened.
397
00:20:58,814 --> 00:21:03,985
It's being opened by a ship.
398
00:21:04,041 --> 00:21:09,465
Okay. What is the next thing
that you experience?
399
00:21:09,641 --> 00:21:12,745
I'm starting to actually get
a visual of...
400
00:21:12,801 --> 00:21:15,312
guess you could call them faces.
401
00:21:15,314 --> 00:21:18,219
- Who's there?
- Just beings.
402
00:21:18,374 --> 00:21:23,379
Do you get a sense
of why you ended up there,
403
00:21:23,554 --> 00:21:25,525
not someone else?
404
00:21:25,527 --> 00:21:31,185
They're showing me just, like,
a line from my family.
405
00:21:31,341 --> 00:21:33,779
Goes,
they're just going back in time.
406
00:21:33,781 --> 00:21:37,532
They're saying that there's
always been a connection to,
407
00:21:37,687 --> 00:21:40,687
a close connection,
as far back as it goes.
408
00:21:40,827 --> 00:21:42,725
Okay.
409
00:21:42,727 --> 00:21:49,365
The biggest question that
the abductees have is, "Why me?"
410
00:21:49,367 --> 00:21:51,905
Why did this happen to me?"
411
00:21:52,061 --> 00:21:55,805
If they can sense that this
happened not just to them,
412
00:21:55,961 --> 00:21:58,179
but to their parents
and their grandparents,
413
00:21:58,334 --> 00:22:02,905
it brings some sort of closure,
it starts to make sense to them
414
00:22:03,081 --> 00:22:06,979
and they start to feel
that there's a real connection.
415
00:22:07,134 --> 00:22:09,134
It wasn't a random thing.
416
00:22:09,287 --> 00:22:10,999
Breathe in through the nose.
417
00:22:11,154 --> 00:22:14,345
As you exhale through the mouth,
418
00:22:14,501 --> 00:22:17,172
you're purging
all of this energy.
419
00:22:17,174 --> 00:22:19,174
Let it go, let it go, yes.
420
00:22:21,714 --> 00:22:27,779
And slowly, slowly, whenever
you're ready, open your eyes.
421
00:22:30,154 --> 00:22:32,939
Wow.
422
00:22:33,094 --> 00:22:34,125
- Excellent.
- Yeah.
423
00:22:34,127 --> 00:22:36,752
Wow.
424
00:22:36,907 --> 00:22:39,907
- Well, you did amazing. That was awesome.
- Thank you. - You did...
425
00:22:38,701 --> 00:22:41,372
- thank you so much.
- Absolutely.
426
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:45,527
There was a time where
I was scared to find the answers
427
00:22:44,521 --> 00:22:47,472
because, I think,
the whole unknown factor
428
00:22:47,627 --> 00:22:50,972
is a basic human fear:
not knowing,
429
00:22:51,061 --> 00:22:53,959
the unknown, the abyss,
the dark.
430
00:22:53,981 --> 00:22:56,981
But I needed those answers
'cause I needed some sort of
431
00:22:56,907 --> 00:22:59,885
explanation for what happened
that night.
432
00:23:00,041 --> 00:23:03,041
- All right, I think we're done for today.
- Okay.
433
00:23:01,661 --> 00:23:04,725
For Joe Cerletti,
and others like him,
434
00:23:04,881 --> 00:23:07,605
hypnotic regression
is an important tool
435
00:23:07,661 --> 00:23:12,352
in unlocking memories that may
be buried due to trauma.
436
00:23:12,354 --> 00:23:15,485
But are there other,
even more authoritative methods,
437
00:23:15,641 --> 00:23:21,739
that might help prove that alien
abductions actually take place?
438
00:23:21,761 --> 00:23:24,472
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
439
00:23:24,474 --> 00:23:27,085
and point to recent experiments
that collect
440
00:23:27,241 --> 00:23:31,179
convincing scientific data
from the human brain.
441
00:23:38,894 --> 00:23:43,245
Of the featured guests
at AlienCon 2018,
442
00:23:43,247 --> 00:23:46,105
three claim to have had
firsthand experience
443
00:23:46,107 --> 00:23:48,592
with extraterrestrials:
444
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:52,172
consciousness researcher
Caroline Cory,
445
00:23:52,174 --> 00:23:56,745
Kathleen Marden, the director of
Experiencer Research for MUFON,
446
00:23:56,901 --> 00:23:59,232
the Mutual UFO Network,
447
00:23:59,387 --> 00:24:03,005
and Bret Oldham,
a man who claims to have had
448
00:24:03,007 --> 00:24:05,007
more than a dozen
abduction experiences
449
00:24:04,881 --> 00:24:06,939
since the age of five.
450
00:24:07,114 --> 00:24:08,592
So many, in fact,
451
00:24:08,747 --> 00:24:12,125
that he has authored
three books on the subject.
452
00:24:12,281 --> 00:24:15,281
Uh, I was first taken
when I was five years old,
453
00:24:15,074 --> 00:24:17,525
and the memories were suppressed
454
00:24:17,527 --> 00:24:20,527
all the way up
until I was in my early 20s.
455
00:24:19,934 --> 00:24:23,325
And it was through the therapy
that I discovered the truth
456
00:24:23,327 --> 00:24:25,327
of what had been
happening to me.
457
00:24:25,294 --> 00:24:27,294
The psychological damage
of being taken
458
00:24:27,207 --> 00:24:30,099
and having sexual experiments
performed on you,
459
00:24:30,101 --> 00:24:33,101
and being subjected to a lot
of things like that.
460
00:24:32,401 --> 00:24:35,401
I decided not to become
a victim to it.
461
00:24:34,581 --> 00:24:40,579
And it took me 20, 20 some years
to get enough nerve
462
00:24:40,581 --> 00:24:43,581
to come forward and face
what was out there,
463
00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:45,381
because I wanted
to become a voice
464
00:24:45,207 --> 00:24:47,207
for others who have had
these experiences.
465
00:24:47,287 --> 00:24:51,645
For more than a decade,
Bret Oldham has been an advocate
466
00:24:51,801 --> 00:24:55,499
for those who claim to have
had similar experiences.
467
00:24:55,674 --> 00:24:58,032
Like all abductees, he has faced
468
00:24:58,187 --> 00:25:02,292
both skepticism and scorn
from the public.
469
00:25:02,294 --> 00:25:04,294
This is a worldwide phenomena,
it's happening
470
00:25:04,147 --> 00:25:08,592
in a grand scale and it's
happening to all walks of life.
471
00:25:08,594 --> 00:25:10,499
Thank you very much.
472
00:25:17,521 --> 00:25:19,892
Earlier this year,
in an effort to learn
473
00:25:19,894 --> 00:25:22,119
if his abduction memories
474
00:25:22,121 --> 00:25:24,319
could be clinically proven,
Bret agreed
475
00:25:24,341 --> 00:25:27,785
to submit to a scientific test.
476
00:25:27,841 --> 00:25:30,841
- Why don't you come on back?
- Sure. -Great, thanks.
477
00:25:30,707 --> 00:25:32,945
If successful, the test,
478
00:25:33,021 --> 00:25:36,245
involving an EEG scan
of Bret's brain,
479
00:25:36,301 --> 00:25:38,139
could go a long way
480
00:25:38,294 --> 00:25:40,805
toward proving that
extraterrestrial abductions
481
00:25:40,807 --> 00:25:43,932
are actually taking place.
482
00:25:44,087 --> 00:25:48,799
Conducting the test is
neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi,
483
00:25:48,954 --> 00:25:50,465
under the supervision
484
00:25:50,541 --> 00:25:55,005
of former British Ministry of
Defence investigator, Nick Pope.
485
00:25:55,007 --> 00:25:59,007
Okay, we will be using, um, this
little piece of equipment today.
486
00:25:58,194 --> 00:25:59,899
Are you familiar with EEG?
487
00:26:00,074 --> 00:26:01,425
I'm familiar with it.
488
00:26:01,427 --> 00:26:03,427
There are no wires or whatnot,
489
00:26:02,754 --> 00:26:04,754
there's just these
little sensors.
490
00:26:04,341 --> 00:26:07,341
And I will be placing this
on your head like this.
491
00:26:07,061 --> 00:26:09,219
Okay.
492
00:26:09,374 --> 00:26:13,019
An EEG,
or electroencephalography,
493
00:26:13,061 --> 00:26:15,119
is a noninvasive method
of measuring
494
00:26:15,141 --> 00:26:19,179
the electrochemical activity
of the neurons in the brain.
495
00:26:19,181 --> 00:26:22,399
It works by placing
a network of electrodes
496
00:26:22,554 --> 00:26:25,779
over areas of the scalp,
which can, in turn, register
497
00:26:25,934 --> 00:26:28,934
not only the area of the brain
that is being stimulated,
498
00:26:28,974 --> 00:26:32,852
but also the degree
of stimulation.
499
00:26:33,007 --> 00:26:35,007
We can make a couple
of inferences
500
00:26:34,307 --> 00:26:36,307
when we see the brain activity.
501
00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:39,379
One is, if we see
what are called alpha waves
502
00:26:39,554 --> 00:26:43,059
in particular, in the temporal
regions of the brain,
503
00:26:43,214 --> 00:26:46,214
then that's gonna give us
a good idea
504
00:26:45,121 --> 00:26:48,312
that the person is recalling
something from memory.
505
00:26:48,314 --> 00:26:51,665
On the other hand,
if we see, uh, activity more
506
00:26:51,721 --> 00:26:53,721
in the front of the brain,
507
00:26:53,581 --> 00:26:55,581
where there's maybe not
those alpha waves
508
00:26:55,734 --> 00:26:57,734
of some other kind of activity,
509
00:26:57,761 --> 00:27:01,325
then that's gonna suggest that
the person is crafting something
510
00:27:01,501 --> 00:27:04,672
or coming up with an answer
or explanation in the moment.
511
00:27:04,781 --> 00:27:07,112
So we can differentiate sort of
512
00:27:07,114 --> 00:27:10,432
storytelling versus
accessing the memory.
513
00:27:10,434 --> 00:27:13,652
Nick will ask Bret
a series of questions
514
00:27:13,807 --> 00:27:16,405
about his abduction experiences,
515
00:27:16,561 --> 00:27:19,599
and Dr. Nardi will observe
the neural activity
516
00:27:19,754 --> 00:27:22,545
that occurs
during Bret's responses.
517
00:27:22,701 --> 00:27:26,165
If, for example,
Bret is inventing or making up
518
00:27:26,321 --> 00:27:29,365
his answers,
it should show up as activity
519
00:27:29,521 --> 00:27:33,719
on the part of the brain most
associated with imagination.
520
00:27:35,181 --> 00:27:38,452
Okay. We are ready to go.
521
00:27:38,454 --> 00:27:41,419
Well, perhaps, uh,
first of all, Bret,
522
00:27:41,421 --> 00:27:43,639
was there a single incident
that started this?
523
00:27:43,641 --> 00:27:45,285
Uh, there was.
524
00:27:45,287 --> 00:27:47,859
Um, we lived
in Southern Illinois,
525
00:27:48,014 --> 00:27:53,272
in an old farmhouse surrounded
by just cornfields and soybean
526
00:27:53,361 --> 00:27:57,361
and stuff like that, and
I'd lived a pretty innocent life
527
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:57,739
up until that point.
528
00:27:57,894 --> 00:28:00,645
One night, I heard a voice,
529
00:28:00,801 --> 00:28:03,125
and I actually thought
it was my stepdad,
530
00:28:03,281 --> 00:28:06,439
'cause it's very, very quiet
out in the country.
531
00:28:06,461 --> 00:28:08,139
Did the voice say something?
532
00:28:08,141 --> 00:28:11,572
The voice was coaxing me
to come to the window.
533
00:28:11,681 --> 00:28:15,725
I got up
and I walked across the floor.
534
00:28:15,881 --> 00:28:18,012
I could see a light
coming through.
535
00:28:18,187 --> 00:28:20,752
It just kept coaxing me to come,
536
00:28:20,841 --> 00:28:23,525
and I was just
a curious little boy.
537
00:28:23,681 --> 00:28:25,681
And I remember
raising my hand up
538
00:28:25,547 --> 00:28:28,405
and pulling back the curtains,
539
00:28:28,407 --> 00:28:31,407
and that's when I came
face-to-face
540
00:28:30,494 --> 00:28:32,494
with what we now know as a Grey.
541
00:28:35,774 --> 00:28:38,774
- So what did you think it was?
- I had no idea.
542
00:28:38,674 --> 00:28:40,674
I had never seen anything
like that before.
543
00:28:40,634 --> 00:28:44,812
And before I could scream
for help or anything,
544
00:28:44,987 --> 00:28:48,332
the next thing I remember
was laying on a table,
545
00:28:48,487 --> 00:28:51,252
surrounded by these things.
546
00:28:51,261 --> 00:28:54,152
And you said, uh,
before you could scream,
547
00:28:54,154 --> 00:28:56,154
so I presume
from what you're saying
548
00:28:55,621 --> 00:28:58,359
- that you were very scared.
- Very scared.
549
00:28:58,361 --> 00:29:01,392
That first incident made such
an indelible mark in my psyche
550
00:29:01,547 --> 00:29:03,547
that I-I had
nightmares about it,
551
00:29:03,694 --> 00:29:06,192
up until just several years ago.
552
00:29:06,347 --> 00:29:08,639
Even now, after all the time,
553
00:29:08,641 --> 00:29:12,132
how does it make you feel
looking back on that incident
554
00:29:12,134 --> 00:29:15,134
and what's your,
what's your bottom line on this,
555
00:29:15,274 --> 00:29:18,274
in terms of what you think's
going on?
556
00:29:18,201 --> 00:29:22,201
I don't think anyone really
knows what their true agenda is.
557
00:29:21,441 --> 00:29:23,239
You know, some people speculate
558
00:29:23,241 --> 00:29:25,241
that they're gonna
take over our planet.
559
00:29:24,761 --> 00:29:26,165
Uh, I don't.
560
00:29:26,321 --> 00:29:29,321
I-I think if they were
gonna do that,
561
00:29:27,941 --> 00:29:30,405
- they would have already done it.
- Right.
562
00:29:30,461 --> 00:29:33,532
After Nick and Bret
finish their session,
563
00:29:33,534 --> 00:29:36,679
Dr. Nardi shares
the EEG results,
564
00:29:36,834 --> 00:29:40,625
and what they reveal
about Bret and his story.
565
00:29:40,627 --> 00:29:46,665
So we had about
45 minutes worth of data.
566
00:29:46,821 --> 00:29:50,419
You asked questions that truly
were speculative questions,
567
00:29:50,421 --> 00:29:52,719
versus ones that were asking
for literal recall.
568
00:29:52,721 --> 00:29:54,799
And we saw that, really,
they were activating
569
00:29:54,821 --> 00:29:57,559
in very different parts
of the brain.
570
00:29:57,714 --> 00:30:00,352
Consistently,
when you asked him to speculate,
571
00:30:00,354 --> 00:30:03,354
like, "Why do you think
that they do this,"
572
00:30:02,647 --> 00:30:05,647
then clearly, we see
this region of the brain
573
00:30:04,541 --> 00:30:07,541
in the left hemisphere sort
of by the left temple here,
574
00:30:07,407 --> 00:30:09,185
that that would get active.
575
00:30:09,187 --> 00:30:11,532
So that, that was
a really good baseline.
576
00:30:11,534 --> 00:30:15,865
In contrast, there were
at least a half a dozen moments
577
00:30:15,921 --> 00:30:19,459
which really strongly activated
over on this side instead,
578
00:30:19,461 --> 00:30:23,232
which is associated more
with literal recall.
579
00:30:23,234 --> 00:30:26,234
In other words, uh,
we're just gonna give the facts,
580
00:30:26,294 --> 00:30:29,185
and the details, or rather,
recall without embellishment.
581
00:30:29,341 --> 00:30:32,079
Indicative of an actual memory?
582
00:30:32,234 --> 00:30:33,345
Most of the time.
583
00:30:33,501 --> 00:30:36,665
"Recall without embellishment?"
584
00:30:36,741 --> 00:30:41,712
Could this result be evidence
that Bret's story is true,
585
00:30:41,714 --> 00:30:44,739
and that these abductions
really took place?
586
00:30:44,741 --> 00:30:49,185
Those moments that you described
like sitting with the tall Grey,
587
00:30:49,187 --> 00:30:52,292
that's what that
looked like in the brain.
588
00:30:52,467 --> 00:30:56,179
By differentiating between
memory and speculation,
589
00:30:56,334 --> 00:31:01,899
in one sense the EEG machine
acted as a sort of polygraph.
590
00:31:02,054 --> 00:31:05,054
The fact that the part
of the brain involved in memory
591
00:31:05,121 --> 00:31:07,259
lit up and was activated,
592
00:31:07,261 --> 00:31:12,279
says to me that this
is a genuine experience.
593
00:31:12,321 --> 00:31:14,565
This is not a hoax.
594
00:31:14,567 --> 00:31:17,825
This is not somebody who's
making the whole thing up.
595
00:31:17,981 --> 00:31:19,981
Well, Dario,
thank you very much.
596
00:31:19,394 --> 00:31:21,059
This has been very interesting,
597
00:31:21,214 --> 00:31:24,214
and I think we've got
lots of great data here.
598
00:31:22,814 --> 00:31:24,665
- Thank you.
- Absolutely.
599
00:31:24,821 --> 00:31:26,821
- It's my pleasure.
- Really appreciate it.
600
00:31:26,901 --> 00:31:29,901
The journey is always
going to continue for me.
601
00:31:28,641 --> 00:31:32,641
I'm always going to want to
delve deeper into these events,
602
00:31:32,161 --> 00:31:36,161
into what I remember, and
find out what I don't remember.
603
00:31:36,274 --> 00:31:39,639
And I still don't have
all the answers.
604
00:31:39,794 --> 00:31:42,999
If, as the EEG data suggests,
605
00:31:43,174 --> 00:31:44,939
Bret Oldham's claims
606
00:31:45,094 --> 00:31:47,319
of extraterrestrial
abduction are true,
607
00:31:47,341 --> 00:31:51,865
does it help prove that alien
abductions are really happening?
608
00:31:51,941 --> 00:31:54,352
But why?
609
00:31:54,527 --> 00:31:57,685
And for what purpose?
610
00:31:57,841 --> 00:32:01,579
Perhaps further clues can be
found by examining evidence
611
00:32:01,621 --> 00:32:04,932
that aliens have been altering
human biology.
612
00:32:05,107 --> 00:32:10,239
And not just for generations,
but for thousands of years.
613
00:32:16,134 --> 00:32:18,225
Lancaster, New Hampshire.
614
00:32:18,227 --> 00:32:21,745
September 19, 1961.
615
00:32:21,801 --> 00:32:26,092
Betty and Barney Hill
are driving late at night
616
00:32:26,101 --> 00:32:28,485
when a large flying saucer
intercepts them
617
00:32:28,661 --> 00:32:31,872
and hovers over their car.
618
00:32:31,874 --> 00:32:34,025
Above them, the Hills observe
619
00:32:34,201 --> 00:32:38,212
otherworldly figures
in the windows of the craft.
620
00:32:38,214 --> 00:32:42,672
Days later, the couple
reports missing time
621
00:32:42,674 --> 00:32:45,279
and after participating
in hypnotic regression,
622
00:32:45,434 --> 00:32:47,279
they claim to realize
623
00:32:47,434 --> 00:32:50,592
that they were abducted
by extraterrestrials.
624
00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:55,605
In the decades that follow,
the Betty and Barney Hill case
625
00:32:55,761 --> 00:32:58,952
becomes the most well-known and
investigated abduction encounter
626
00:32:59,041 --> 00:33:00,719
in modern history.
627
00:33:00,761 --> 00:33:04,145
But according to Betty
and Barney's descendants,
628
00:33:04,147 --> 00:33:07,399
the incident in Lancaster
is only one part
629
00:33:07,554 --> 00:33:09,799
of a much larger story,
630
00:33:09,954 --> 00:33:13,325
a story that actually
began three years prior
631
00:33:13,401 --> 00:33:16,985
with an incident
involving Betty's sister.
632
00:33:16,987 --> 00:33:21,532
Betty Hill was my aunt,
my mother's sister.
633
00:33:21,534 --> 00:33:25,825
Something that we have
never revealed before
634
00:33:25,827 --> 00:33:30,505
is that my mother had
a close encounter in 1958.
635
00:33:30,581 --> 00:33:34,452
She saw this huge,
cigar-shaped craft
636
00:33:34,627 --> 00:33:36,972
hovering over a field.
637
00:33:37,127 --> 00:33:42,485
She had no explanation for what
had happened as far as she knew.
638
00:33:42,641 --> 00:33:46,172
She had gone shopping
and she had driven home.
639
00:33:46,327 --> 00:33:50,685
My mother eventually
underwent hypnosis
640
00:33:50,687 --> 00:33:54,225
and through hypnosis,
she recalled
641
00:33:54,381 --> 00:33:57,019
having been abducted as well.
642
00:33:57,174 --> 00:34:01,392
And I also had this uncanny
643
00:34:01,481 --> 00:34:03,492
sort of dreamlike experience
644
00:34:03,494 --> 00:34:06,312
of being taken to a craft.
645
00:34:06,467 --> 00:34:10,019
It bothered me
for many, many years.
646
00:34:10,174 --> 00:34:14,332
Eventually, I did talk
to my family about it
647
00:34:14,334 --> 00:34:18,379
and that's when I found out that
my mother had the same memory.
648
00:34:18,421 --> 00:34:21,459
Could it be
that extraterrestrial beings
649
00:34:21,614 --> 00:34:24,572
are abducting
not only individuals,
650
00:34:24,681 --> 00:34:26,439
but also families?
651
00:34:26,461 --> 00:34:29,752
And if so, why?
652
00:34:29,754 --> 00:34:32,445
The abduction phenomenon
is intergenerational.
653
00:34:32,621 --> 00:34:34,712
When a man and a woman marry
654
00:34:34,867 --> 00:34:37,867
and either the man
or the woman is an abductee,
655
00:34:37,714 --> 00:34:40,225
their children
will be abductees.
656
00:34:40,227 --> 00:34:45,445
It seems that specific
bloodlines are involved here.
657
00:34:45,601 --> 00:34:47,785
And if that's the case,
658
00:34:47,787 --> 00:34:50,612
it raises
the intriguing possibility
659
00:34:50,767 --> 00:34:54,772
that the extraterrestrials are
interested in human biology,
660
00:34:54,927 --> 00:34:57,799
that they are monitoring
specific genetic lines
661
00:34:57,821 --> 00:34:59,739
for some purpose.
662
00:34:59,914 --> 00:35:04,445
For ancient astronaut
theorists and UFO researchers,
663
00:35:04,601 --> 00:35:07,105
the notion that
extraterrestrials
664
00:35:07,181 --> 00:35:09,992
are conducting experiments
involving human biology
665
00:35:10,101 --> 00:35:11,659
is not a new one.
666
00:35:11,814 --> 00:35:14,705
Many believe the practice
has been going on
667
00:35:14,861 --> 00:35:18,759
for thousands of years.
668
00:35:18,914 --> 00:35:21,272
Maybe there's some truth
to these entities
669
00:35:21,427 --> 00:35:23,419
which we call shedim.
670
00:35:23,574 --> 00:35:25,312
These are old legends
671
00:35:25,467 --> 00:35:29,812
of people who are abducted,
sexually seduced
672
00:35:29,967 --> 00:35:33,279
and some taken away.
673
00:35:33,434 --> 00:35:36,434
And when we hear today
about the numerous stories
674
00:35:36,301 --> 00:35:39,619
of alien abductions
throughout history,
675
00:35:39,621 --> 00:35:41,952
they are identical.
676
00:35:42,107 --> 00:35:44,119
For proof that their theories
677
00:35:44,274 --> 00:35:48,025
about the biological nature
of alien abductions are valid,
678
00:35:48,081 --> 00:35:50,125
researchers point to the fact
679
00:35:50,127 --> 00:35:54,479
that a relatively high number
of abductees, more than 60%,
680
00:35:54,521 --> 00:35:57,545
have an extraordinarily
rare blood type:
681
00:35:57,601 --> 00:36:00,559
Rh negative.
682
00:36:00,714 --> 00:36:05,805
The subject kept coming up from
the abductees: "I'm Rh negative."
683
00:36:05,807 --> 00:36:09,807
"Could it have anything to do
with why I'm being abducted?"
684
00:36:09,441 --> 00:36:15,039
I got to collaborate with a
doctor, Dr. John Altshuler,
685
00:36:15,214 --> 00:36:19,225
and he did pathology;
he did blood work.
686
00:36:19,281 --> 00:36:24,605
And he gave the conclusion
that Rh negative blood
687
00:36:24,761 --> 00:36:29,645
might actually be
a genetic data point
688
00:36:29,721 --> 00:36:35,539
about why humans
could be hybrids,
689
00:36:35,541 --> 00:36:38,405
that every Rh negative
690
00:36:38,581 --> 00:36:41,932
would be coming
from a history of abductions.
691
00:36:42,107 --> 00:36:45,985
Rh negative
is a very peculiar thing.
692
00:36:45,987 --> 00:36:49,172
First off, it didn't exist
until 35,000 years ago.
693
00:36:49,347 --> 00:36:52,347
It may have been
that 35,000 years ago,
694
00:36:52,201 --> 00:36:54,259
E.T. introduced this
into our society
695
00:36:54,414 --> 00:36:57,319
through whatever breeding
programs they've been running.
696
00:36:57,321 --> 00:37:00,199
The ancient astronaut
theory suggests
697
00:37:00,354 --> 00:37:03,199
that for thousands of years,
698
00:37:03,201 --> 00:37:05,879
extraterrestrials
meddled with our DNA.
699
00:37:05,921 --> 00:37:10,685
There was a time when
we were Homo sapiens.
700
00:37:10,861 --> 00:37:14,205
And then we became
Homo sapiens sapiens.
701
00:37:14,361 --> 00:37:17,659
And that happened
within only 50,000 years,
702
00:37:17,814 --> 00:37:20,719
which by Darwinian
evolutionary standards,
703
00:37:20,874 --> 00:37:24,745
is too short of a time span
for that to happen.
704
00:37:24,901 --> 00:37:29,672
Our brain volume increased
by up to 30%
705
00:37:29,847 --> 00:37:32,939
in 50,000 years,
which is absolutely crazy.
706
00:37:33,094 --> 00:37:35,972
Now, the reason why I think
707
00:37:36,127 --> 00:37:39,232
that modern-day abductions occur
708
00:37:39,321 --> 00:37:44,659
is because maybe we are still
being manipulated with our DNA
709
00:37:44,661 --> 00:37:46,692
from extraterrestrials
710
00:37:46,781 --> 00:37:50,185
in order to turn us
from Homo sapiens sapiens
711
00:37:50,261 --> 00:37:54,139
into Homo sapiens
sapiens sapiens.
712
00:37:54,181 --> 00:37:57,919
Have extraterrestrials
been abducting people
713
00:37:58,094 --> 00:38:01,752
in order to monitor the
evolutionary progress of humans?
714
00:38:01,841 --> 00:38:06,099
Or have they been deliberately
manipulating our biology
715
00:38:06,254 --> 00:38:09,012
in order to achieve
some ultimate purpose?
716
00:38:09,167 --> 00:38:12,305
Ancient astronaut
theorists claim
717
00:38:12,307 --> 00:38:16,405
that both possibilities are
likely true and for this reason,
718
00:38:16,561 --> 00:38:20,605
it is more important than ever
for us to hear the stories
719
00:38:20,661 --> 00:38:24,159
of those who say
they have been taken.
720
00:38:29,894 --> 00:38:31,759
Pasadena, California.
721
00:38:31,914 --> 00:38:36,252
June 16, 2018.
722
00:38:36,261 --> 00:38:40,165
Throughout a discussion
about alien abductions
723
00:38:40,321 --> 00:38:42,079
during a panel at AlienCon,
724
00:38:42,254 --> 00:38:45,885
both the panelists
and members of the audience
725
00:38:45,887 --> 00:38:48,887
remark on how difficult,
but also important it is
726
00:38:48,747 --> 00:38:51,972
to speak out about abductions.
727
00:38:52,127 --> 00:38:55,239
I hesitated coming up here
for a couple reasons.
728
00:38:55,414 --> 00:38:58,812
Um...
729
00:38:58,967 --> 00:39:02,899
Every topic
that you guys have mentioned
730
00:39:03,074 --> 00:39:06,239
has connected dots
actively right now today.
731
00:39:06,394 --> 00:39:09,359
As far as lineage,
as far as bloodlines,
732
00:39:09,361 --> 00:39:11,361
as far as families,
so generational.
733
00:39:11,161 --> 00:39:14,645
My mom, um, myself, my daughter.
734
00:39:14,647 --> 00:39:16,647
I had night terrors as a child,
735
00:39:16,361 --> 00:39:18,532
missing time as a child
throughout my life.
736
00:39:18,534 --> 00:39:21,205
I literally have
short-term memory deficits
737
00:39:21,261 --> 00:39:25,059
and specific things,
real spontaneous phenomenon
738
00:39:25,214 --> 00:39:27,705
that ultimately touches
on everything that
739
00:39:27,861 --> 00:39:30,861
- you guys are talking about.
- Thank you very much.
740
00:39:30,014 --> 00:39:33,014
These hardly ever seem
to be one-off experiences.
741
00:39:32,854 --> 00:39:34,854
Thank you
for sharing your story.
742
00:39:37,354 --> 00:39:41,354
I'd like to say, uh, I applaud
you guys for your courage
743
00:39:40,094 --> 00:39:43,094
to come forward in front
of all these people
744
00:39:41,514 --> 00:39:42,779
and share your story.
745
00:39:42,934 --> 00:39:45,934
I'm blown away
by the amount of people
746
00:39:45,267 --> 00:39:47,267
that, uh, show up at this panel.
747
00:39:47,227 --> 00:39:51,227
And when I see this kind of, uh,
support, it's very encouraging
748
00:39:50,181 --> 00:39:52,181
and I think
that's very important
749
00:39:51,687 --> 00:39:53,932
to bring this phenomenon
out into the light
750
00:39:53,934 --> 00:39:56,934
where it needs to be
because a lot of answers
751
00:39:55,867 --> 00:39:57,645
lie with the experiencers.
752
00:39:57,821 --> 00:39:59,821
So I just thank you for that.
753
00:40:04,681 --> 00:40:08,165
Coming forward to admit
that you've had some type
754
00:40:08,321 --> 00:40:11,892
of a close encounter,
whether it is seeing something
755
00:40:11,901 --> 00:40:14,112
or maybe you've been abducted,
756
00:40:14,267 --> 00:40:17,039
that is a very difficult
thing to admit.
757
00:40:17,194 --> 00:40:20,599
And that is why I think
758
00:40:20,774 --> 00:40:24,285
we really should look at all
the other pieces of evidence:
759
00:40:24,287 --> 00:40:27,699
abduction cases
or close encounters
760
00:40:27,854 --> 00:40:30,392
and say, "Okay, what if?"
761
00:40:30,394 --> 00:40:34,372
I'm happy today that
I'm finally able to say
762
00:40:34,527 --> 00:40:37,699
it's not only real,
it's happening.
763
00:40:37,701 --> 00:40:41,065
Great. Hearing those stories
is of help
764
00:40:41,067 --> 00:40:45,067
to any of you out there who have
had these strange experiences.
765
00:40:44,921 --> 00:40:47,921
And you are not alone with this,
as you can see.
766
00:40:47,121 --> 00:40:51,121
So thank you to you and thank
you to my fellow panelists.
767
00:40:50,794 --> 00:40:55,139
When you look
at the vast body of data
768
00:40:55,294 --> 00:40:57,785
that we have on this phenomenon,
769
00:40:57,961 --> 00:40:59,961
it's difficult
to avoid the conclusion
770
00:40:59,907 --> 00:41:01,907
that something is going on here.
771
00:41:01,781 --> 00:41:03,799
Why should we, therefore,
772
00:41:03,954 --> 00:41:06,959
cast away the stories
of the abductees
773
00:41:06,981 --> 00:41:09,619
just because we may feel
a little uncomfortable
774
00:41:09,774 --> 00:41:11,774
with the place that takes us?
775
00:41:13,701 --> 00:41:15,992
Each year, thousands of people
776
00:41:16,147 --> 00:41:18,225
are bravely coming forward
777
00:41:18,301 --> 00:41:21,645
with personal accounts
of alien abductions.
778
00:41:21,821 --> 00:41:24,372
But is the world's
growing willingness
779
00:41:24,527 --> 00:41:27,352
to hear them and
believe them a sign
780
00:41:27,354 --> 00:41:29,559
that humanity
might be on the brink
781
00:41:29,714 --> 00:41:33,439
of an exciting new period
in its evolution,
782
00:41:33,481 --> 00:41:38,352
one where we will discover
that centuries of alien contact
783
00:41:38,361 --> 00:41:40,919
has changed us in ways
we could never
784
00:41:40,941 --> 00:41:43,545
have previously imagined
or accepted?
785
00:41:43,601 --> 00:41:47,332
Perhaps a greater acceptance
786
00:41:47,487 --> 00:41:49,645
that alien contact is being made
787
00:41:49,801 --> 00:41:52,259
will prepare us for the future,
788
00:41:52,281 --> 00:41:56,019
a future where we will become
789
00:41:56,041 --> 00:41:59,559
the extraterrestrials
on other worlds
790
00:41:59,714 --> 00:42:04,879
and encounter other life-forms
not so different from our own.
