1
00:00:01,002 --> 00:00:02,167
[josh] on this episode
of expedition x...
2
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:07,973
The encounter was way bigger
than just those videos that
the public saw.
3
00:00:09,243 --> 00:00:10,943
[jessica] what cool stuff
we're gonna find in here?
4
00:00:10,978 --> 00:00:14,413
[josh] my team digs into
the most shocking
military footage
5
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:16,181
ever leaked to the public
6
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:17,583
of unidentified objects
7
00:00:17,618 --> 00:00:18,817
flying in our skies...
8
00:00:18,853 --> 00:00:22,554
It maneuvered around them
in a hypersonic velocity,
9
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:23,689
like it owned them.
10
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:26,425
...And below
the surface of our oceans...
11
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,394
Reports of usos,
12
00:00:28,429 --> 00:00:30,462
unidentified
submersible objects,
13
00:00:30,498 --> 00:00:32,398
moving thousands of miles
per hour.
14
00:00:32,433 --> 00:00:34,299
[josh] ...All centered around
an island
15
00:00:34,335 --> 00:00:36,201
of the california coast.
16
00:00:36,237 --> 00:00:38,404
Oh, my god.
We got it.
17
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:40,506
No idea what the heck
that thing is.
18
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:43,008
[josh] is it top secret tech
from a foreign power?
19
00:00:43,044 --> 00:00:47,479
[man] the activity's been
going on far too long
for this to be military.
20
00:00:47,515 --> 00:00:48,747
[josh] or are we being visited
21
00:00:48,783 --> 00:00:51,250
from something
out of this world?
22
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:52,518
These things are indeed real.
23
00:00:52,553 --> 00:00:54,486
We still don't know
what they are,
but they're real.
24
00:00:54,522 --> 00:00:58,223
[josh] the former director
of a top-secret government
program
25
00:00:58,259 --> 00:01:01,827
joins the x team
on a deep dive for answers.
26
00:01:01,862 --> 00:01:03,595
-[man] you seeing that?
-[man 2] I don't know
what the hell it is.
27
00:01:03,631 --> 00:01:04,863
[josh] the truth is out there.
28
00:01:04,899 --> 00:01:07,232
There's something that
comes into our airspace
29
00:01:07,268 --> 00:01:08,567
that's ridiculous.
30
00:01:08,602 --> 00:01:09,902
What do you think? Alien?
31
00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:12,471
[josh] it's time to unravel
the mystery.
32
00:01:12,506 --> 00:01:14,907
-Holy [bleep] right there.
-[phil] I see a light!
33
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:17,810
Oh, my god.
It's incredible.
34
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:20,245
[josh] aliens of the deep.
35
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:23,449
My name is josh gates.
36
00:01:23,484 --> 00:01:25,317
In my travels,
I've experienced
37
00:01:25,352 --> 00:01:27,653
strange things
that defy logic
38
00:01:27,688 --> 00:01:30,355
and made me question
everything.
39
00:01:30,391 --> 00:01:31,690
Oh, my god!
40
00:01:31,725 --> 00:01:34,660
Now, I've put together
a team to investigate
41
00:01:34,695 --> 00:01:36,995
the stranger side
of the unknown.
42
00:01:37,298 --> 00:01:38,297
Let's go!
43
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:40,632
Phil torres is a scientist
44
00:01:40,668 --> 00:01:43,202
who hunts for rational
explanations.
45
00:01:43,237 --> 00:01:44,136
[phil speaking]
46
00:01:46,841 --> 00:01:48,707
jessica chobot's
paranormal research
47
00:01:48,742 --> 00:01:51,410
has made her
a true believer.
48
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:52,511
Phil, do you see that?
49
00:01:52,546 --> 00:01:53,745
[whispering] I just saw
something run across.
50
00:01:53,781 --> 00:01:56,315
[josh] together,
we're searching for answers...
51
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:57,583
[phil whispering]
what is that?
52
00:01:57,618 --> 00:02:00,853
...To the world's most
extraordinary mysteries.
53
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:04,189
This is expedition x.
54
00:02:09,263 --> 00:02:10,429
All right, riddle me this.
55
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:12,798
What can travel faster
than the speed of sound,
56
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:16,135
flies circles around
an f-18 fighter,
57
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:19,304
and pretty much challenge
everything we thought we knew
58
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:20,539
about aviation technology?
59
00:02:20,574 --> 00:02:23,876
Does it also wear a cape
and have an aversion
to kryptonite?
60
00:02:23,911 --> 00:02:25,644
Not superman,
but when the story broke
61
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:27,679
in the new york times
and the washington post,
62
00:02:27,715 --> 00:02:29,414
it was headline news,
63
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:30,516
and for a lot of people,
64
00:02:30,551 --> 00:02:33,585
really legitimized
the study of ufos.
65
00:02:33,621 --> 00:02:36,388
-So the tic tac ufo video.
-Well done, lieutenant.
66
00:02:36,423 --> 00:02:38,790
The fact that
this navy f-18 pilot
67
00:02:38,826 --> 00:02:40,959
was able to record this
back in 2004,
68
00:02:40,995 --> 00:02:44,596
says to me that
the government knows
so much more about ufos
69
00:02:44,632 --> 00:02:45,998
than what they're letting
us know.
70
00:02:46,033 --> 00:02:48,867
This is one of those
rare moments where, jess,
I couldn't agree more.
71
00:02:48,903 --> 00:02:51,503
-Oh!
-Whoa. Somebody print that
on a t-shirt.
72
00:02:51,539 --> 00:02:53,772
It's rare. But, this was
filmed by the onboard camera
73
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:56,808
on an f-18
by an elite fighter pilot,
74
00:02:56,844 --> 00:02:59,444
and what they filmed
has no wings,
75
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,413
no discernable means
of propulsion,
76
00:03:01,448 --> 00:03:03,682
it was flying faster
than mach 5...
77
00:03:03,717 --> 00:03:05,350
This video changed the game.
78
00:03:05,386 --> 00:03:06,652
I think the government feels
the same way,
79
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:09,021
which is why they've
been investigating this.
80
00:03:09,056 --> 00:03:11,790
And, in fact, the only reason
that we ever heard about this
81
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:13,292
secret navy video
82
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,794
is because it was leaked
by a guy named luis elizondo.
83
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:20,966
He was running
a secret program,
operating out of the pentagon,
84
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:23,835
called the advanced aerospace
threat identification program.
85
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:27,539
This was former
senate majority leader
harry reid's program.
86
00:03:27,575 --> 00:03:29,107
Elizondo's mission
here in this organization
87
00:03:29,143 --> 00:03:32,477
was to investigate
and evaluate these
potential craft
88
00:03:32,513 --> 00:03:34,680
and to try to understand
if they could be a threat.
89
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:38,083
But there is so much more
to this story.
90
00:03:41,622 --> 00:03:43,722
November, 2004,
91
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:47,492
the navy's uss nimitz's
carrier strike group,
92
00:03:47,528 --> 00:03:49,828
including the uss princeton,
93
00:03:49,863 --> 00:03:51,830
are performing a series
of training missions
94
00:03:51,865 --> 00:03:54,600
in the waters
off southern california.
95
00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:56,468
Over a two-week period,
96
00:03:56,503 --> 00:03:58,470
navy radar operators detect
97
00:03:58,505 --> 00:03:59,838
upwards of 100
98
00:03:59,873 --> 00:04:03,775
fast-moving unidentified
flying objects in the area.
99
00:04:03,811 --> 00:04:06,845
Radar operators
on the uss princeton
100
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,616
first detect unidentified
objects in low earth orbit.
101
00:04:10,651 --> 00:04:12,584
The targets dropped
to 80,000 feet,
102
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:15,354
arriving in groups
of 10 to 20,
103
00:04:15,389 --> 00:04:17,489
then 28,000 feet.
104
00:04:17,524 --> 00:04:21,126
Suddenly in .78 seconds,
they're at 50 feet.
105
00:04:21,161 --> 00:04:25,631
Some completely disappearing
below the waves
near catalina island.
106
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:28,000
After deploying f-18s
to investigate,
107
00:04:28,035 --> 00:04:31,603
one of the war planes
gets a lock on
one of the objects.
108
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:35,540
But pilots lose this strange
oblong-shaped craft
109
00:04:35,576 --> 00:04:39,711
when it shoots off
at speeds that would kill
any human pilot.
110
00:04:39,747 --> 00:04:43,248
And it's not the first time
our military witnessed craft
111
00:04:43,284 --> 00:04:44,983
of unknown origin in the area.
112
00:04:45,019 --> 00:04:48,720
Ufo reports
from both civilians
and military personnel
113
00:04:48,756 --> 00:04:53,025
around catalina island
have been mounting
since the 1920s.
114
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,626
In 1957,
115
00:04:54,662 --> 00:04:57,529
radar operators
on the uss columbus
116
00:04:57,564 --> 00:05:00,732
spot several strange objects
off catalina shores,
117
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:04,936
hovering above the water
before finally disappearing.
118
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:06,605
In 1966,
119
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,840
navy news photographer
leland hanson
120
00:05:08,876 --> 00:05:13,045
captures video
of an unidentified object
flying over the island.
121
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,349
And like the tic tac-shaped
object in the recent
navy video,
122
00:05:17,384 --> 00:05:20,252
this craft also has
no apparent wings.
123
00:05:20,287 --> 00:05:24,323
Even after image analysis
is conducted by nasa's
jet propulsion lab,
124
00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:26,491
the object remains
unidentified.
125
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:29,261
Throughout the '70s,
'80s and '90s,
126
00:05:29,296 --> 00:05:30,462
civilians on the water
127
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:33,231
claim to see strange lights
below the surface.
128
00:05:33,267 --> 00:05:37,769
And boaters report
objects flying into the ocean
at incredible speeds.
129
00:05:37,805 --> 00:05:41,306
These reports are largely
ignored by authorities.
130
00:05:41,342 --> 00:05:44,843
But the leak of the now
infamous tic tac video
has changed all that.
131
00:05:44,878 --> 00:05:48,146
And new reports
are emerging right now.
132
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:50,449
In March of 2021,
133
00:05:50,484 --> 00:05:52,751
a freedom of information act
request
134
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:55,687
revealed numerous ufos
were once again detected
135
00:05:55,723 --> 00:05:59,691
around navy warships
in the area for several days.
136
00:05:59,727 --> 00:06:04,396
And with brand-new
ufo reports originating
from this same area,
137
00:06:04,431 --> 00:06:07,332
catalina island is officially
ground zero
138
00:06:07,368 --> 00:06:08,467
for a ufo hunt
139
00:06:08,502 --> 00:06:11,069
that has the attention
of the world.
140
00:06:14,842 --> 00:06:18,577
So I think the two of you need
to get out to catalina
and start investigating.
141
00:06:18,612 --> 00:06:21,480
I've lined up
a research vessel for you
142
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:22,914
and also two navy eyewitnesses
143
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:26,485
who are willing to go
on the record and share
what they saw firsthand.
144
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,653
I'm still working
on luis elizondo
from the pentagon.
145
00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:31,423
If we could get him
to go on the record,
that would be huge.
146
00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:32,724
Oh, definitely huge.
147
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,394
In the meantime,
I would also try to
track down the most recent
148
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:37,796
ufo eyewitnesses
out on catalina
149
00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:39,631
and deploy the best tech
that we have
150
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:42,634
to try to capture evidence
of what people are
seeing there.
151
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:43,769
-Sounds good.
-We're on it.
152
00:06:43,804 --> 00:06:46,338
This is a huge story.
It really is one of the most
153
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:48,473
compelling ufo cases ever.
154
00:06:48,509 --> 00:06:49,741
So, good luck out there.
155
00:06:49,777 --> 00:06:51,576
-Thanks.
-Thank you.
156
00:06:51,612 --> 00:06:55,280
[josh] the next day,
the team hops on
a 2,500 mile flight
157
00:06:55,315 --> 00:06:56,715
to los angeles, california,
158
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,084
where they meet
with captain bob kennedy,
159
00:06:59,119 --> 00:07:03,488
who will take them
22 miles off the coast,
to catalina island.
160
00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:06,458
He's been navigating
these unpredictable waters
161
00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:07,592
for nearly four decades,
162
00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:10,629
in an area considered by many
as a hotbed
163
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:13,231
for ufo activity, both above
164
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:15,100
and below the waves.
165
00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:16,835
[captain bob] hey, welcome!
Your journey begins.
166
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:19,571
-[phil]
permission to come aboard?
-Absolutely.
167
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:21,773
Your stateroom is forward
on the starboard side,
168
00:07:21,809 --> 00:07:23,642
restroom and shower
just forward of that.
169
00:07:23,677 --> 00:07:26,178
-You got me the bigger one,
right?
-Of course.
170
00:07:26,213 --> 00:07:27,379
-Thank you.
-What?
171
00:07:27,414 --> 00:07:28,346
Ha-ha.
172
00:07:28,382 --> 00:07:29,514
We'll get you underway
to the island
173
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:31,283
and we'll have you there
in a couple of hours.
174
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:38,723
[jessica] our attention
won't be just on
the mysterious objects
175
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:40,525
seen in the skies
above the island,
176
00:07:40,561 --> 00:07:43,829
we'll also need to keep an eye
on the surrounding waters
177
00:07:43,864 --> 00:07:46,231
for any signs of unidentified
submerged objects,
178
00:07:46,567 --> 00:07:47,766
or usos,
179
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,768
that are commonly reported
in the area.
180
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:52,003
So to stay mobile
around the island,
181
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:54,473
this research vessel
will act as our home base
182
00:07:54,508 --> 00:07:56,475
during this investigation.
183
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:58,543
Its sonar equipment
will help us detect
184
00:07:58,579 --> 00:08:01,213
any unusual objects
under the water.
185
00:08:02,583 --> 00:08:04,983
[captain bob]
we should be able to see
the island soon.
186
00:08:06,787 --> 00:08:09,087
[jessica]
look at how pretty this is!
187
00:08:10,591 --> 00:08:13,758
[josh] santa catalina island
is 75 square miles,
188
00:08:13,794 --> 00:08:16,728
nestled off the coast
of southern california.
189
00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:19,598
Known for its awe-inspiring
seascapes,
190
00:08:19,633 --> 00:08:22,801
the majority of the 4,100
full-time residents here
191
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:25,504
reside in the small city
of avalon,
192
00:08:25,539 --> 00:08:28,273
leaving the rest of the island
largely untamed.
193
00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:33,812
How're we doing?
Getting close?
194
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:36,615
Getting close.
We're about ten minutes out.
195
00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:38,016
-[phil] all right.
-Perfect.
196
00:08:38,051 --> 00:08:40,552
[phil] we're heading
for the southwestern shore
of the island
197
00:08:40,587 --> 00:08:41,820
that faces the open water
198
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:45,090
where many of the ufo
and uso sightings
have occurred,
199
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:48,260
including the nimitz
incident in 2004.
200
00:08:48,295 --> 00:08:49,528
[phil] how close can you get?
201
00:08:49,563 --> 00:08:51,963
I'll get this boat in about
100 feet of water and anchor,
202
00:08:51,999 --> 00:08:56,401
then we're gonna put you
in the inflatable and you can
take yourself to the beach.
203
00:08:56,436 --> 00:08:58,703
-We'll be here
when you get back.
-Got it.
204
00:08:58,739 --> 00:09:01,706
[phil] we've arranged
a meeting with two
of the navy officers
205
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:04,576
who were part of uss nimitz's
carrier strike group,
206
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:06,811
who were conducting drills
here in 2004
207
00:09:06,847 --> 00:09:10,115
when strange objects
started showing up on radar
208
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:13,852
and resulted
in the most famous
ufo footage in modern time.
209
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:15,520
-[captain bob] safe sailing.
-[both] thank you.
210
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:18,890
[phil] they've agreed to share
their side of the story
211
00:09:18,926 --> 00:09:21,860
about what really happened
on that fateful day.
212
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,229
All right. Hold on,
we're going in!
213
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:29,401
Jess, you said you did
want to get wet today, right?
214
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:31,369
No, I did not.
I did not say that, phil!
215
00:09:32,139 --> 00:09:33,138
[phil] hold on!
216
00:09:37,411 --> 00:09:39,377
[both whooping]
217
00:09:39,413 --> 00:09:40,445
[jessica] I'm going to
throw up.
218
00:09:51,291 --> 00:09:52,490
-Hey there.
-Hi.
219
00:09:52,526 --> 00:09:54,025
[sean] hey, how's it going?
220
00:09:54,061 --> 00:09:56,561
[jessica] sean cahill,
was the chief master-at-arms
221
00:09:56,597 --> 00:09:58,897
working on the bridge
of the uss princeton,
222
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:02,467
a ticonderoga class
guided-missile cruiser.
223
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:07,372
Gary voorhis was the computer
technician responsible for
the operating mainframe,
224
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:09,674
of the aegis combat
and radar system.
225
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:12,777
They are both retired
and allowed to talk
about their experience
226
00:10:12,813 --> 00:10:16,581
since the pentagon
officially declassified
the uss nimitz
227
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:19,451
tic tac video in 2020.
228
00:10:19,486 --> 00:10:20,652
[phil] I think
the whole world knows
229
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:23,521
that something kind of crazy
happened in 2004.
230
00:10:23,557 --> 00:10:24,522
Walk us through it.
231
00:10:24,558 --> 00:10:26,524
Back in 2004,
we were out there
232
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,360
off of catalina here
233
00:10:28,395 --> 00:10:29,761
in an op area
doing an exercise,
234
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:32,597
and at one point
during the week, um,
235
00:10:32,633 --> 00:10:34,099
senior chief kevin day
called me
up on the bridge
236
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:37,902
and started to tell me
about some anonymous
contacts that he had on radar.
237
00:10:37,938 --> 00:10:41,406
And these contacts
were appearing
at very high altitude,
238
00:10:41,441 --> 00:10:44,109
nearly suborbital
in some cases.
And then...
239
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,277
-They were seen
on the radar...
-[jessica] mmm-hmm.
240
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:48,346
...To drop down
instantaneously
241
00:10:48,382 --> 00:10:49,481
right above the water.
242
00:10:49,516 --> 00:10:51,750
What did you think
you were seeing?
243
00:10:51,785 --> 00:10:53,685
[sighing] instantly
I'm thinking clutter.
244
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,655
Something that's
not actually there,
245
00:10:56,690 --> 00:11:00,191
it's just-- we need to just
reset the systems
and then they go away.
246
00:11:00,227 --> 00:11:02,193
-Mmm-hmm
-um, but,
247
00:11:02,229 --> 00:11:03,228
these didn't go away.
248
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:06,598
What happens next?
249
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:08,533
I was going out,
it was my lookout,
250
00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:10,735
and look up in the sky
on certain vectors
and try to find things
251
00:11:10,771 --> 00:11:13,872
that say these are
at least actual objects
that we're picking up.
252
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,908
Gary was doing the same,
because he was the one
calibrating everything.
253
00:11:16,943 --> 00:11:20,545
And we both saw
something anomalous
in the sky.
254
00:11:21,615 --> 00:11:23,782
-With your own eyes.
-With our own eyeballs. Yeah.
255
00:11:23,817 --> 00:11:26,418
That matched up
with what was showing up
on the radar?
256
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:29,054
What did you see?
257
00:11:29,089 --> 00:11:30,522
-There were five lights
in the sky.
-Mmm-hmm.
258
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:33,224
And I watched those lights
twist together
259
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:36,895
in a clockwise proportion,
all towards the middle,
and each of them blinked out
260
00:11:37,464 --> 00:11:39,531
all by them-- one by one.
261
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:41,599
I had never seen
anything like that
262
00:11:41,635 --> 00:11:43,768
in all of the aircraft
that I have observed,
263
00:11:43,804 --> 00:11:45,737
in all of the exercises
that I've been on
264
00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:49,007
and being an aircraft--
aerospace geek my entire life.
265
00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:50,709
Nothing does that.
266
00:11:50,744 --> 00:11:52,577
You're seeing these things,
it's getting picked up
by radar.
267
00:11:52,612 --> 00:11:53,645
What do you do?
268
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,513
It was agreed upon
to intercept
269
00:11:55,549 --> 00:11:57,782
and take a look
at what these are.
270
00:11:57,818 --> 00:11:59,617
[phil] we've brought along
the flir footage
271
00:11:59,653 --> 00:12:01,920
taken by the f-18 pilots
272
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:04,656
after orders were given
to intercept these objects.
273
00:12:04,691 --> 00:12:08,359
Sean and gary,
two men trained on the navy
state-of-the-art radar
274
00:12:08,395 --> 00:12:10,428
and target acquisition
technology,
275
00:12:10,464 --> 00:12:12,130
agreed to give us their take
on the footage.
276
00:12:12,165 --> 00:12:14,733
[sean] so, what we're looking
at here is through
the gun camera footage
277
00:12:14,768 --> 00:12:17,902
of the flir pod
on an f-18 in daylight.
278
00:12:18,705 --> 00:12:20,472
Now you're looking at it
in infrared.
279
00:12:20,507 --> 00:12:23,508
You can see here
that it's roughly
tic tac-shaped.
280
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:25,744
-Then you get the close-up.
-Mmm-hmm.
281
00:12:25,779 --> 00:12:27,779
And then, that was
when it took off.
282
00:12:27,814 --> 00:12:30,414
The best fighter attack
aircraft that we have,
283
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:31,516
it maneuvered around them
284
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:35,520
in a hypersonic velocity,
like it owned them.
285
00:12:35,555 --> 00:12:38,490
And then it just zorched
out of the area
286
00:12:38,525 --> 00:12:39,924
like it was in
a star trek video.
287
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,428
They couldn't even come close
to maneuvering the way
that these could.
288
00:12:44,731 --> 00:12:47,632
So looking at this video,
what stands out you to say
289
00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:50,869
this is something
that's never been seen before.
290
00:12:50,904 --> 00:12:53,438
Number one,
that has no control services.
291
00:12:53,473 --> 00:12:55,373
-That has no wings.
-[gary] no wings.
292
00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:56,708
-No visible engine.
-No propellers.
293
00:12:56,743 --> 00:12:58,710
No means of control
whatsoever.
294
00:12:58,745 --> 00:13:00,678
This is a completely smooth
295
00:13:00,714 --> 00:13:03,081
-tic tac-shaped thing.
-Mmm-hmm.
296
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,582
There's no way that
it should be up in the air.
297
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:06,985
-[gary] and then it's all
one color.
-[jessica] yeah.
298
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:08,453
Yeah, there's no difference.
299
00:13:08,488 --> 00:13:09,721
It's not just once color,
300
00:13:09,756 --> 00:13:13,158
it's very cold. It's colder
than everything around.
301
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:14,959
What?
302
00:13:14,995 --> 00:13:17,395
[phil] the exhaust emitted
from a typical jet engine
303
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:20,064
is around 1,100 degrees
fahrenheit.
304
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:24,335
That means any engine seen
through a thermal camera
glows brightly.
305
00:13:24,371 --> 00:13:26,638
The tic tac shows no signs
of heat.
306
00:13:26,673 --> 00:13:28,773
In fact, it's the opposite.
307
00:13:28,809 --> 00:13:32,343
The atmospheric temperature
at the altitude where
it was seen hovering
308
00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:35,079
is an icy 12 degrees
below zero.
309
00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:37,649
This object is even colder.
310
00:13:37,684 --> 00:13:40,418
I know radar was detecting
stuff in the sky.
311
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:42,554
Were you picking up
anything under water?
312
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:45,156
At a certain point,
when they were going to
313
00:13:45,192 --> 00:13:46,658
take a look at what these are,
314
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:49,027
you know, there were a couple
of different pilots
that actually saw them
315
00:13:49,563 --> 00:13:51,296
and they all reported
316
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:55,300
that there was a large
747, uh...
317
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:56,835
-Sized object...
-[phil] mmm-hmm.
318
00:13:57,604 --> 00:13:59,270
...Right up underneath
the water.
319
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:00,471
-What?
-[gary] yeah.
320
00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:02,340
-[sean] it's not
often reported.
-Yeah.
321
00:14:02,375 --> 00:14:03,942
Wait, so there's
a 747-sized object
322
00:14:03,977 --> 00:14:05,977
just under the water
and then these tic tacs
323
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:09,180
-flying around that that
they're seeing?
-That's correct.
324
00:14:09,216 --> 00:14:10,281
No kidding!
325
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:19,490
[josh] phil and jess
are speaking with two
navy officers
326
00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:22,460
that witnessed ufos
off the coast of california
327
00:14:22,495 --> 00:14:23,695
in 2004.
328
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:25,563
And according
to these soldiers,
329
00:14:25,599 --> 00:14:26,898
this now infamous event
330
00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:29,767
was even more bizarre
than originally reported.
331
00:14:29,803 --> 00:14:32,403
[jessica]
so there's a 747-sized object
332
00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:33,771
just under the water
333
00:14:33,807 --> 00:14:36,608
and then these tic tacs
flying around that that
they're seeing?
334
00:14:36,643 --> 00:14:38,843
-That's correct.
-Yeah.
335
00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:40,678
How do you know
it's not a submarine?
336
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:43,882
-The uss princeton
is an anti-submarine platform.
-Got it.
337
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:47,218
That's one of its
main missions.
So no one else on this planet
338
00:14:47,254 --> 00:14:48,786
-could have infiltrated
that water...
-[jessica] uh-huh.
339
00:14:48,822 --> 00:14:51,489
...Inside of that battle
group's bubble.
340
00:14:51,524 --> 00:14:54,993
Could it be training for
top-secret new equipment
341
00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:58,229
and just took advantage
of the fact that you guys
were in the area?
342
00:14:58,265 --> 00:14:59,430
Very simply, we don't do that.
343
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:01,199
We do not train unbeknownst
344
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:04,469
-to the people being trained.
That's how casualties happen.
-[gary] it's too dangerous.
345
00:15:04,504 --> 00:15:05,603
-Got it.
-Mmm.
346
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,805
What is your personal take
347
00:15:07,841 --> 00:15:12,610
on large mysterious
underwater object
and these ufos?
348
00:15:12,646 --> 00:15:17,115
To be absolutely...
Candid about it,
I have no idea what they were.
349
00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:17,715
I just know that
350
00:15:18,685 --> 00:15:20,718
there's something
that comes into our airspace
351
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:23,221
and it's got a level of
technology that's...
352
00:15:24,291 --> 00:15:25,390
Ridiculous.
353
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:27,692
We've no clue
what's piloting these craft.
354
00:15:27,727 --> 00:15:28,793
Who designed them?
Who brought them here?
355
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:31,396
We're talking
about technologies
that operate up
356
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:32,697
in energetic levels,
357
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:35,500
uh, that are far beyond
our nuclear reactors.
358
00:15:35,535 --> 00:15:37,435
I would never go near
one of these things.
359
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:39,337
-Oh, okay.
-My goodness.
360
00:15:44,911 --> 00:15:48,212
Well, that was easily one of
the most amazing stories
I've ever heard.
361
00:15:48,481 --> 00:15:49,714
Ever.
362
00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:53,551
There's so much more
to that encounter than
what you think.
363
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:55,553
Whatever happened in 2004,
364
00:15:55,588 --> 00:15:57,822
-in these waters out there, is
-mmm-hmm.
365
00:15:57,857 --> 00:16:02,393
Super unexplainable
by anything we know
here on earth.
366
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:04,595
Which is kind of bonkers
to say.
367
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:05,596
Looking around here though,
368
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,532
if we wanna see
anything tonight,
369
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:09,067
there's a lot of hills around.
370
00:16:09,102 --> 00:16:10,702
I think we need to get
up on top of those hills,
371
00:16:10,737 --> 00:16:13,838
so that we have way better
visibility of both the water
372
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:17,342
-and the skies all around
the island.
-Yeah, I agree.
373
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:21,479
[phil] as the sun burns off
the morning cloud cover,
374
00:16:21,514 --> 00:16:23,514
we set off to mount orizaba,
375
00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:25,249
the highest point on catalina.
376
00:16:26,619 --> 00:16:27,885
It's a 5-mile hike
377
00:16:27,921 --> 00:16:30,455
through some of the wildest
parts of the island,
378
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:31,689
where we'll have
to maneuver past
379
00:16:31,725 --> 00:16:34,392
southern pacific rattlesnakes
380
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:36,127
and something
even more dangerous.
381
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:37,662
Oh, stop!
382
00:16:37,697 --> 00:16:40,431
-What?
-[whispering] you seeing that?
383
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:42,200
Oh, [bleep].
384
00:16:44,604 --> 00:16:45,870
Do not move.
385
00:16:46,406 --> 00:16:48,139
That is a giant bison.
386
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,041
[jessica] what do we do?
387
00:16:50,076 --> 00:16:51,709
[phil whispering] stay quite.
No big movements.
388
00:16:51,745 --> 00:16:54,479
These things can run
like 35 miles per hour.
389
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:57,515
We're uncomfortably close
to this thing.
390
00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,851
I know, we do not want it
to charge us.
391
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:02,053
Yeah, no kidding.
392
00:17:02,088 --> 00:17:04,789
[phil] there are about
100 bison roaming freely
on catalina island.
393
00:17:04,824 --> 00:17:06,791
However, they're not native
to the island.
394
00:17:06,826 --> 00:17:10,361
In 1924, a herd
of american bison
were brought here
395
00:17:10,397 --> 00:17:13,798
to provide the backdrop
for the production
of an early silent film
396
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,367
and have been living here
ever since.
397
00:17:16,403 --> 00:17:18,069
These powerful
2,000-pound animals
398
00:17:18,104 --> 00:17:21,606
can easily break bones
if they decide to charge.
399
00:17:21,641 --> 00:17:23,274
[whispering] I can't remember
400
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:27,078
if you're supposed
to look them in the eye
or not look them in the eye.
401
00:17:27,113 --> 00:17:29,414
-I'm gonna go with
"not look them in the eye."
-okay.
402
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:32,750
I mean, it looks like
it's happy eating.
403
00:17:32,786 --> 00:17:36,521
So I say we take
this opportunity to just
skidoosh down that way.
404
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:38,289
[whispering] yeah,
I think that sounds good.
405
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:40,258
-So, skidoosh. Go.
-Okay.
406
00:17:41,828 --> 00:17:46,364
[phil] free-roaming bison
are not the only things
that make catalina unique.
407
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,433
-Jess, did you know that--
-what?
408
00:17:48,468 --> 00:17:51,536
...There is a butterfly
only found here in catalina
409
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:52,937
called the
catalina hairstreak.
410
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,473
-I did not know that.
-Yeah.
411
00:17:55,508 --> 00:17:57,442
Did you know
there's a pet cemetery here?
412
00:17:57,477 --> 00:17:59,043
[phil] it's weird.
413
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:01,879
Did you know that there's
a shrew only found here
that they thought was extinct
414
00:18:01,915 --> 00:18:04,515
and they recently
found for the first time
in 15 years?
415
00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:06,584
-I did not know that.
But that's pretty cool.
-Yeah.
416
00:18:06,619 --> 00:18:08,286
[jessica] did you know
417
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:11,489
that a door turn
alternate dimension, randomly
shows up on the island?
418
00:18:12,692 --> 00:18:15,660
Jess, you know some
really weird facts
about catalina,
419
00:18:15,695 --> 00:18:17,095
-just saying.
-I know.
420
00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:20,565
[jessica] a dozen more
"did you know"s
and 2,000 vertical feet later,
421
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,500
we arrived at mount orizaba,
422
00:18:22,535 --> 00:18:24,902
catalina's highest point.
423
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:28,739
And with unidentified lights
reported right over
these waters just last week,
424
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:32,810
it's the perfect vantage point
for spotting any
unusual activity.
425
00:18:32,846 --> 00:18:35,513
-Great view of the ocean.
-Really amazing.
426
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:37,715
-And somewhere out there,
-uh-huh.
427
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:40,384
This whole incident
went down.
428
00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:41,686
They caught it on radar,
429
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:43,688
-they scrambled the jets,
-mmm-hmm.
430
00:18:43,723 --> 00:18:47,525
And those fighter pilots
recorded the video of the ufo.
431
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,427
So there was something weird
flying out here.
432
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:51,329
Yeah, they definitely ran
into something.
433
00:18:51,364 --> 00:18:53,664
I think we should set up
the dap camera.
434
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:54,932
Back in world war ii,
435
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,435
the military actually
had a radar installation
set up here
436
00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,538
to scan the waters as well
and I figure if it's
good enough for them,
437
00:19:00,573 --> 00:19:01,739
it's good enough
for a dap camera.
438
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:05,476
[phil] this data acquisition
project camera, or dap camera,
439
00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:08,312
is designed to track
and identify flying objects
440
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:09,747
with incredible accuracy.
441
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:12,984
Its ai-powered software
analyzes the shape
442
00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:14,452
and movements of the object
443
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:16,020
and then compares them
to a database of
444
00:19:16,055 --> 00:19:20,291
every known aircraft
in the world to confirm
its identity.
445
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:21,792
Once we set it,
446
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:23,794
-if it spots something
that can't identify it,
-mmm-hmm.
447
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:26,497
Then that's when the alarm
goes off on this.
448
00:19:26,533 --> 00:19:27,965
[jessica] that's when we know
we got a ufo.
449
00:19:28,768 --> 00:19:30,668
That's when we know
we got something
450
00:19:30,703 --> 00:19:32,470
it can't identify in the sky.
451
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,505
Like an unidentified
flying object
452
00:19:34,541 --> 00:19:36,674
-in the sky.
-Technically, sure.
453
00:19:36,709 --> 00:19:38,176
-[phil] all right, ready?
-Yeah.
454
00:19:38,211 --> 00:19:39,076
Set this thing.
455
00:19:40,547 --> 00:19:42,313
[jessica] I mean,
456
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:44,448
-this doesn't suck.
-It does not.
457
00:19:44,484 --> 00:19:45,349
[jessica] no.
458
00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:48,519
[phil] ooh,
I just saw a whale.
459
00:19:48,555 --> 00:19:51,055
[jessica] or it's
a ufo flying into its
underwater base.
460
00:19:52,192 --> 00:19:53,324
-Sure.
-Yeah.
461
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,358
[phil] or it was a whale.
462
00:19:55,962 --> 00:19:58,796
We turn our attention
back to the dap camera's
monitor
463
00:19:58,831 --> 00:20:02,166
as it searches for
unidentified flying objects.
464
00:20:04,437 --> 00:20:06,704
-Ooh, tracking something.
-Oh, yeah.
465
00:20:07,507 --> 00:20:08,706
-[camera beeps]
-oh, it's a plane.
466
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:10,474
[phil] at least it's working.
467
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:12,510
This thing is clearly running.
468
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:15,713
I got the flir in my bag
and I think,
469
00:20:16,783 --> 00:20:19,417
you know, it might be worth
taking this thing out
470
00:20:19,452 --> 00:20:21,452
and checking the skies
on this side
471
00:20:21,487 --> 00:20:23,321
to see if we get anything
unusual flying around
472
00:20:23,356 --> 00:20:24,822
that we can't see
with our own eyes.
473
00:20:24,857 --> 00:20:27,225
-I mean,
this thing has an alarm.
-Let's do it.
474
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:28,459
Okay.
475
00:20:28,494 --> 00:20:31,128
[phil] we positioned
the dap camera to the south,
476
00:20:31,164 --> 00:20:33,965
facing the waters
where the nimitz
incident occurred.
477
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,401
But it's only
able to monitor
180 degrees of skyline.
478
00:20:37,437 --> 00:20:39,770
To surveil the remaining skies
above the island,
479
00:20:39,806 --> 00:20:42,440
we're deploying this
high-powered thermal camera
480
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:45,276
capable of detecting
temperature variations
481
00:20:45,311 --> 00:20:46,611
over 3 miles away.
482
00:20:46,646 --> 00:20:48,646
We've synced the dap camera's
alarm to our phones
483
00:20:48,681 --> 00:20:50,648
so even if we venture out,
484
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:52,583
we'll be notified
if it gets a hit.
485
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:56,520
-You seeing anything?
-Nothing right now.
486
00:20:56,556 --> 00:20:58,589
I'm gonna kind of
follow the horizon
487
00:20:58,625 --> 00:21:01,192
and then I'll do a sweep up.
488
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:02,360
[jessica] okay.
489
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:07,031
Yeah, let's see
what else we got.
490
00:21:08,101 --> 00:21:09,400
-[phil] oh, look at that.
-[jessica] what is that?
491
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:12,236
-Oh, my god,
that looks like a house!
-[phil] that's in the ground.
492
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:19,243
-Oh, my god.
-[jessica] look at this!
493
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:20,378
You know what this is?
494
00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:21,545
This is a building left over
495
00:21:21,581 --> 00:21:24,448
from that radar station
in world war ii.
496
00:21:24,484 --> 00:21:25,449
Oh, I bet you're right.
497
00:21:25,485 --> 00:21:28,019
[jessica] December 7, 1941.
498
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:31,522
The us army built this bunker
as part of camp cactus
499
00:21:31,557 --> 00:21:33,491
which hosted
advanced radar technology
500
00:21:33,526 --> 00:21:36,527
designed to detect
japanese ships and aircraft.
501
00:21:36,562 --> 00:21:37,561
And in 1942,
502
00:21:37,597 --> 00:21:40,865
it's possible
the radar in this bunker
503
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,869
also detected something
no one could identify.
504
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:49,173
-[phil] this thing is huge.
-It's creepy.
505
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:52,743
Ooh. We got a ladder.
506
00:21:52,779 --> 00:21:54,679
-I'm going in.
-[phil] you think?
507
00:21:54,714 --> 00:21:56,514
[jessica] what do you
mean "I think?" yeah!
508
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:59,784
What cool stuff are we
gonna find in here?
509
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:01,719
This entire base
was thrust into action
510
00:22:01,754 --> 00:22:04,221
just a few months
after it was built.
511
00:22:04,257 --> 00:22:06,524
On February 25, 1942,
512
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,959
military radar detected
513
00:22:08,995 --> 00:22:10,761
unidentified flying objects
in the sky,
514
00:22:10,797 --> 00:22:13,497
100 miles west
of catalina island.
515
00:22:13,533 --> 00:22:14,932
Witnesses reported spotting
516
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:20,504
anywhere from 25 to 200 crafts
swarming over coastal waters.
517
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:22,740
Believing them to be
attacking japanese bombers,
518
00:22:22,775 --> 00:22:25,543
troops unleashed
an hour-long barrage
519
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:27,745
sending more than 1,400 shells
520
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:31,549
from anti-aircraft guns
into the night sky.
521
00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:34,251
When the smoke cleared,
522
00:22:34,287 --> 00:22:36,721
no bombs had been dropped
and no planes had been hit.
523
00:22:36,756 --> 00:22:40,658
This incident is now known as
the battle of los angeles.
524
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:43,794
To this day, nobody can
explain what the craft were
525
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:47,665
or why our anti-aircraft guns
couldn't hit a single one,
526
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:50,634
making it one of
the highest-profiled ufo cases
527
00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:51,702
in us history.
528
00:22:51,738 --> 00:22:54,772
I'm wondering if we can find
some clues in here
529
00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:57,508
about that bizarre,
iconic incident.
530
00:22:57,543 --> 00:22:59,410
[jessica grunting]
531
00:23:05,485 --> 00:23:07,518
[phil] jess, watch where you
put your hands down here.
532
00:23:07,553 --> 00:23:08,586
[jessica] okay, why?
533
00:23:08,621 --> 00:23:11,188
Because we have
a black widow right there.
534
00:23:11,224 --> 00:23:13,257
-[jessica] oh, [bleep].
-[phil] so there's
probably a lot more.
535
00:23:17,363 --> 00:23:19,029
-[jessica] okay.
-[phil exhales]
536
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:22,800
[jessica exhales] okay.
537
00:23:22,835 --> 00:23:25,336
Look at this thing. Wow.
538
00:23:26,706 --> 00:23:27,905
Another black widow.
539
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,907
-All sorts of fun things
in here, huh?
-[jessica] yeah.
540
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:32,843
Oh, check this out. You can
see some of the old tiles...
541
00:23:32,879 --> 00:23:35,246
-Oh, yeah.
-...From when this was in use.
542
00:23:36,516 --> 00:23:38,682
-Oh! Oh! Bat, bat, bat, bat!
-[jessica] what? What?
543
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:40,684
-Whoa! [yells] there it is!
There it is!
-Bat! Bat!
544
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,453
-[jessica screams] oh, my god!
-Oh.
545
00:23:42,488 --> 00:23:44,555
[jessica] it bopped me!
Holy [bleep]! [laughing]
546
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:46,490
-[phil] there he goes,
there he goes.
-Ew!
547
00:23:46,526 --> 00:23:47,658
Holy [bleep]!
548
00:23:47,693 --> 00:23:50,327
-[phil] you good?
-Yeah, I'm good.
549
00:23:50,363 --> 00:23:51,629
[phil] this place
is officially
550
00:23:51,664 --> 00:23:52,830
very, very abandoned.
551
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:53,931
-All right.
-[jessica] okay.
552
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:57,435
This is a reminder that
the military has been active
553
00:23:57,470 --> 00:23:59,770
in this area
for a very long time.
554
00:23:59,806 --> 00:24:02,540
I mean, this is world war ii.
555
00:24:02,575 --> 00:24:04,608
We've got a naval base
on san clemente island
556
00:24:04,644 --> 00:24:06,444
25 miles south of here.
557
00:24:06,479 --> 00:24:08,546
Could explain
a lot of the other sightings
558
00:24:08,581 --> 00:24:10,481
that have happened around here
by people in catalina
559
00:24:10,516 --> 00:24:12,516
-from decades.
-I'll meet you
halfway on that.
560
00:24:12,552 --> 00:24:15,319
I think some
of those sightings
561
00:24:15,354 --> 00:24:16,620
could have been military,
562
00:24:16,656 --> 00:24:18,456
but, you know, don't forget.
563
00:24:18,491 --> 00:24:20,424
The navy didn't know
564
00:24:20,460 --> 00:24:21,725
what those objects
in the sky were
565
00:24:21,761 --> 00:24:24,929
flying around the nimitz
carrier group back in 2004.
566
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:29,300
So, to me, that's like, "okay,
well, what's going on there?"
567
00:24:29,335 --> 00:24:30,201
I can admit, it is weird.
568
00:24:30,636 --> 00:24:31,969
[alarm beeping]
569
00:24:32,004 --> 00:24:36,774
-you hear that?
That's the dap camera.
-That's the dap camera.
570
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,977
-[alarm beeping]
-[phil] go, go, go!
571
00:24:43,549 --> 00:24:46,183
-[alarm beeping]
-that's the dap camera.
572
00:24:46,219 --> 00:24:47,318
That's the dap camera.
573
00:24:47,353 --> 00:24:49,987
-[alarm beeping]
-[phil] go, go, go!
574
00:24:52,425 --> 00:24:55,526
[alarm beeping]
575
00:24:56,762 --> 00:25:00,264
and we got something.
Okay, I'm gonna hit
playback here.
576
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:06,303
[jessica] there it is.
Unknown.
577
00:25:06,339 --> 00:25:08,272
Oh, my god!
578
00:25:09,242 --> 00:25:10,875
Oh, just moved.
579
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:14,612
-It's moving pretty
steady right now.
-Yeah.
580
00:25:14,647 --> 00:25:18,449
-[phil] whoa!
-[jessica] holy [bleep]!
581
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:19,383
Oh!
582
00:25:19,418 --> 00:25:22,586
No comet changes
directions like that.
583
00:25:22,622 --> 00:25:24,221
Look, it's over here now.
584
00:25:25,558 --> 00:25:26,657
Oh, [bleep]!
585
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:29,260
It's dashing
all over the place.
586
00:25:29,295 --> 00:25:31,562
Uh...
587
00:25:31,597 --> 00:25:33,364
[jessica] and now
it's over here.
588
00:25:33,399 --> 00:25:35,399
[phil] okay.
589
00:25:35,434 --> 00:25:37,101
It's definitely not a plane.
590
00:25:39,605 --> 00:25:42,373
Whoosh. Off screen,
right towards the ocean.
591
00:25:44,544 --> 00:25:47,211
I mean, that's not a plane.
That's not a satellite.
592
00:25:47,246 --> 00:25:49,413
That's pretty crazy.
593
00:25:49,448 --> 00:25:50,948
[phil] from the size
of the object
594
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:52,516
and the estimated
distance from us,
595
00:25:52,552 --> 00:25:54,285
it appears to be jumping
596
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,654
30 to 40 miles
almost instantly.
597
00:25:56,689 --> 00:25:58,656
If that is a piloted craft
or plane,
598
00:25:58,691 --> 00:26:02,593
moving that far that fast
is nearly impossible
599
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:04,595
for any man-made technology.
600
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:07,398
No idea
what the heck thing is.
601
00:26:07,433 --> 00:26:08,465
Well, it's a ufo.
602
00:26:08,501 --> 00:26:10,801
Is what that is.
603
00:26:10,836 --> 00:26:14,672
You can say "ufo," it's
an unidentified flying object.
604
00:26:14,707 --> 00:26:17,241
I'm not saying you're
saying it's aliens, phil,
605
00:26:17,276 --> 00:26:18,542
-but you can say...
-Okay!
606
00:26:18,578 --> 00:26:20,477
-...It's a ufo.
-I will say
607
00:26:20,513 --> 00:26:23,547
it's unidentified,
it's flying in the sky,
608
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:25,516
and it's an object
of some sort.
609
00:26:25,551 --> 00:26:28,419
-[laughs] okay, okay, okay.
-[phil] sure.
610
00:26:28,454 --> 00:26:29,620
I'll take it. I'll take that.
611
00:26:29,655 --> 00:26:30,521
Okay.
612
00:26:30,556 --> 00:26:32,590
[jessica] we decide
to camp out here
613
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,526
so we can scan the skies
for the rest of the night.
614
00:26:35,561 --> 00:26:39,630
But unfortunately, we weren't
able to pick anything else
615
00:26:39,665 --> 00:26:42,433
on the dap camera
or thermal camera.
616
00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:45,436
But the footage
we were able to capture
617
00:26:45,471 --> 00:26:46,470
confirms there is something
618
00:26:46,505 --> 00:26:48,906
unidentified flying above
the island.
619
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:51,575
The object appears to dive
down towards the ocean,
620
00:26:51,611 --> 00:26:53,577
but because of the limited
view of the camera,
621
00:26:53,613 --> 00:26:56,614
we can't confirm it dove
beneath the water
622
00:26:56,649 --> 00:26:57,748
or that it's connected
to the reports
623
00:26:57,783 --> 00:27:01,285
of unidentified submerged
objects in the area.
624
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,687
We need to see if we can track
down anyone else on the island
625
00:27:03,723 --> 00:27:05,756
who may have seen
the same thing.
626
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:06,724
So the next morning,
627
00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:09,293
we give josh a call
to see if he can help.
628
00:27:09,328 --> 00:27:10,327
Hey, how's it going?
629
00:27:10,363 --> 00:27:11,629
-Hey, josh!
-Good.
630
00:27:11,664 --> 00:27:12,963
[josh] I see
a tent behind you.
631
00:27:12,999 --> 00:27:13,897
Did you guys
camp out last night?
632
00:27:13,933 --> 00:27:14,732
Yeah, we did.
633
00:27:14,767 --> 00:27:16,634
-We certainly did.
-[phil] long night.
634
00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:17,501
So, what's going on?
635
00:27:17,536 --> 00:27:20,771
Well, we actually
got some activity,
636
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:22,673
but before we tell you
about that,
637
00:27:22,708 --> 00:27:25,476
I wanna talk to you
about gary and sean.
638
00:27:25,511 --> 00:27:28,612
'cause those guys
blew our mind.
639
00:27:28,648 --> 00:27:30,614
Absolutely. The encounter
was way bigger
640
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:34,018
than just those videos
that the public saw.
641
00:27:34,053 --> 00:27:35,519
[jessica] they said that when
the pilots went out
642
00:27:35,554 --> 00:27:36,654
to intercept the tic tac,
643
00:27:36,689 --> 00:27:40,257
they actually saw,
that underneath the water,
644
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:41,792
there was some sort of object
645
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:44,428
that was about the size
of a 747
646
00:27:44,463 --> 00:27:46,096
that seemed to be interacting
647
00:27:46,132 --> 00:27:48,499
with the craft
that they were seeing above.
648
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:49,900
This is nuts!
649
00:27:49,935 --> 00:27:51,602
And so, what about last night?
650
00:27:51,637 --> 00:27:52,803
The dap cam we set up,
651
00:27:52,838 --> 00:27:56,507
got a recording of something
that was flying
652
00:27:56,542 --> 00:27:58,108
that it couldn't identify.
653
00:27:58,144 --> 00:28:00,377
It was flying
in a pretty strange pattern.
654
00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:01,679
[jessica] I think,
at this point,
655
00:28:01,714 --> 00:28:04,415
I'd like to know
if anyone else reported
656
00:28:04,450 --> 00:28:06,283
seeing a ufo
in the area last night.
657
00:28:06,318 --> 00:28:07,651
[josh] for sure.
658
00:28:07,687 --> 00:28:09,420
Well, a guy that I feel like
659
00:28:09,455 --> 00:28:10,688
would be
really good to talk to
660
00:28:10,723 --> 00:28:12,423
is someone named
preston dennett.
661
00:28:12,458 --> 00:28:15,492
He's an investigator with
the mutual ufo network
662
00:28:15,528 --> 00:28:17,661
or mufon, which I know
you've heard of.
663
00:28:17,697 --> 00:28:20,397
They're a big organization,
a very credible organization
664
00:28:20,433 --> 00:28:22,833
that investigates
these kinds of stories.
665
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:23,867
So he might be someone
who can help
666
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:26,336
guide the next stage
of the investigation here.
667
00:28:26,372 --> 00:28:27,604
-Perfect.
-Sounds great.
668
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,440
And keep looking at the skies,
669
00:28:29,475 --> 00:28:31,408
and, I guess,
the water as well now.
670
00:28:31,444 --> 00:28:32,443
Look everywhere, basically.
671
00:28:32,478 --> 00:28:35,412
[josh] preston dennett
has written 20 books
672
00:28:35,448 --> 00:28:37,481
and more than 100 articles
673
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:40,384
about ufos and other
unexplained phenomenon.
674
00:28:40,419 --> 00:28:42,653
He's interviewed
hundreds of witnesses
675
00:28:42,688 --> 00:28:44,621
and is one of the few
researchers in the world
676
00:28:44,657 --> 00:28:47,658
to investigate
catalina's long history
677
00:28:47,693 --> 00:28:52,262
of ufo and uso encounters.
678
00:28:52,298 --> 00:28:54,364
-Hey, preston!
-Hi!
679
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,866
Hey, how are you guys?
680
00:28:55,901 --> 00:28:57,801
-Good!
-Great! Glad we got
a chance to connect.
681
00:28:57,837 --> 00:28:59,737
Um, listen, how long
have you been looking
682
00:28:59,772 --> 00:29:02,306
into ufo sightings
around catalina?
683
00:29:02,341 --> 00:29:03,807
Very long time, actually.
684
00:29:03,843 --> 00:29:06,710
I got involved
in this field in 1986,
685
00:29:06,746 --> 00:29:10,748
I immediately started
giving reports of usos.
686
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:12,683
Unidentified
submersible objects.
687
00:29:12,718 --> 00:29:14,852
[jessica] so, we actually
captured footage of a ufo
688
00:29:14,887 --> 00:29:18,322
flying off the southern coast
of the island last night.
689
00:29:18,357 --> 00:29:19,823
Have you heard any reports
690
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:21,492
of anybody else
seeing the same thing?
691
00:29:21,527 --> 00:29:22,726
[preston] no, actually,
692
00:29:22,762 --> 00:29:24,628
I don't get a whole lot
of reports
693
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:27,431
from the southern side,
but that's great.
694
00:29:27,466 --> 00:29:28,866
So what is it
about catalina island
695
00:29:28,901 --> 00:29:30,868
that makes it such a target
for these sightings?
696
00:29:30,903 --> 00:29:33,637
Even the navy officers
that saw these things
697
00:29:33,672 --> 00:29:35,572
said we don't have
that level of technology.
698
00:29:35,608 --> 00:29:37,508
My main theory
699
00:29:37,543 --> 00:29:41,311
is that there's some sort of
undersea ufo base down there.
700
00:29:41,347 --> 00:29:42,746
[jessica] an alien base?
701
00:29:42,782 --> 00:29:44,615
Yeah, and that's what I think
we're dealing with here.
702
00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:46,383
You know, extraterrestrials.
703
00:29:52,424 --> 00:29:54,191
[josh] phil and jess
are speaking
704
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:55,626
with author and researcher,
preston dennett,
705
00:29:55,661 --> 00:29:57,461
who has a shocking theory
706
00:29:57,496 --> 00:29:59,563
about the high concentration
of ufos
707
00:29:59,598 --> 00:30:03,167
sighted above
and below catalina island.
708
00:30:03,202 --> 00:30:04,535
My main theory
709
00:30:04,570 --> 00:30:09,239
is that there's some sort of
undersea ufo base down there.
710
00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:10,674
[jessica] an alien base?
711
00:30:10,709 --> 00:30:12,476
Yeah, and that's what I think
we're dealing with here.
712
00:30:12,511 --> 00:30:13,610
You know, extraterrestrials.
713
00:30:13,646 --> 00:30:16,380
[preston] there's been
good, solid reports.
714
00:30:16,415 --> 00:30:17,748
And it's a very active area.
715
00:30:17,783 --> 00:30:22,686
Mile for mile, this
is probably the top location
716
00:30:22,721 --> 00:30:24,855
in terms of the number
of uso reports.
717
00:30:25,558 --> 00:30:27,424
-[jessica] no kidding.
-Wow.
718
00:30:27,459 --> 00:30:28,692
Oh, yeah.
Some of these cases,
719
00:30:28,727 --> 00:30:31,662
we're dealing with
very large numbers of objects.
720
00:30:31,697 --> 00:30:34,898
I mean, not one or two,
or even 10 or 20.
721
00:30:34,934 --> 00:30:35,666
Dozens.
722
00:30:35,701 --> 00:30:38,402
Or, in a few cases,
hundreds.
723
00:30:39,605 --> 00:30:43,106
How many
of these sightings
724
00:30:43,142 --> 00:30:46,376
do you think
could end up being something
from another world?
725
00:30:46,412 --> 00:30:48,478
Good 10%, 20%
of these cases,
726
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:52,015
these craft are being chased
by military jets.
727
00:30:52,051 --> 00:30:57,521
They can travel at speeds
that are almost
incomprehensible.
728
00:30:57,556 --> 00:30:59,957
They've been sighted
since the 1920s,
729
00:30:59,992 --> 00:31:03,660
when we certainly
did not have any technology
of that kind.
730
00:31:03,696 --> 00:31:04,695
Okay.
731
00:31:04,730 --> 00:31:06,797
[josh] this same principle
applies to objects
732
00:31:06,832 --> 00:31:09,800
seen moving
at breakneck speeds
underwater.
733
00:31:09,835 --> 00:31:12,870
There's not much comparable
military technology.
734
00:31:12,905 --> 00:31:15,973
The fastest german u-boat
from world war I
735
00:31:16,008 --> 00:31:18,008
could only travel
19 miles per hour.
736
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:21,778
Even today,
the fastest recorded
underwater object
737
00:31:21,814 --> 00:31:26,483
is the va-111 shkval
supercavitating torpedo,
738
00:31:26,518 --> 00:31:29,553
which travels
230 miles per hour,
739
00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,588
far slower
than the reported speeds
740
00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:34,358
of the craft
seen around catalina.
741
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:35,559
[jessica] we spoke
to two eyewitnesses
742
00:31:35,594 --> 00:31:37,561
that experienced
the nimitz incident,
743
00:31:37,596 --> 00:31:39,796
and they mentioned
that there was some other
strange object
744
00:31:39,798 --> 00:31:42,466
the size of a 747
underneath the water.
745
00:31:42,501 --> 00:31:45,369
Have you ever
heard of anything
746
00:31:45,404 --> 00:31:46,703
under the water like that?
747
00:31:46,739 --> 00:31:49,573
There's accounts
where there's an object
above the water
748
00:31:49,608 --> 00:31:51,408
and there's an object
below the water,
749
00:31:51,443 --> 00:31:53,143
and they are moving
in perfect tandem.
750
00:31:53,178 --> 00:31:57,948
They are very much
in tight communication
with each other.
751
00:31:57,983 --> 00:32:01,518
[jessica] so, if there's
really an alien base
somewhere off the shore,
752
00:32:01,553 --> 00:32:04,054
where do you think
we should focus our efforts?
753
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:08,325
[preston] uh, area of water
between catalina island
and the mainland
754
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,826
is very deep in parts.
755
00:32:09,862 --> 00:32:13,497
This area does have
a lot of caves as well
in the water.
756
00:32:13,532 --> 00:32:17,501
This is a perfect location
for them to have access
757
00:32:17,536 --> 00:32:19,770
to a very large
population base,
758
00:32:19,805 --> 00:32:23,707
while still remaining
pretty much perfectly hidden.
759
00:32:23,742 --> 00:32:25,742
So, a place where
they can, kind of, lay low
760
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:27,911
but still keep an eye
on the west coast.
761
00:32:27,947 --> 00:32:29,046
Exactly.
762
00:32:29,081 --> 00:32:33,150
There's a lot of reports
around the northwest edge.
763
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:37,654
I would definitely
stick to the side
that overlooks the mainland.
764
00:32:37,690 --> 00:32:38,956
[phil and jessica] awesome.
765
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:41,959
[jessica]
could a secret alien base
766
00:32:41,994 --> 00:32:44,394
really be hidden
somewhere under the waves
of catalina,
767
00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:46,496
and explain
all the anomalous sightings,
768
00:32:46,532 --> 00:32:48,832
including the infamous event
in 2004
769
00:32:48,867 --> 00:32:51,601
that even our own government
can't explain?
770
00:32:51,637 --> 00:32:53,370
Last night,
we focused our camera
771
00:32:53,405 --> 00:32:55,339
over the waters
south of the island.
772
00:32:55,374 --> 00:32:56,807
According
to preston's research,
773
00:32:56,842 --> 00:33:00,544
the highest concentration
of unidentified submerged
objects
774
00:33:00,579 --> 00:33:02,346
have been seen
to the north of the island.
775
00:33:03,315 --> 00:33:04,548
So, if there's
even more activity
776
00:33:04,583 --> 00:33:07,517
in the deep waters
between catalina
and the mainland,
777
00:33:07,553 --> 00:33:10,320
that's a region
we just can't ignore.
778
00:33:16,628 --> 00:33:18,528
Getting some waves
out here now.
779
00:33:18,564 --> 00:33:20,230
Feel that.
780
00:33:24,536 --> 00:33:27,471
Could you imagine
being in a boat
781
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:31,341
and having a mothership
just like, "hey,"
782
00:33:31,377 --> 00:33:32,376
come out of the water.
783
00:33:32,411 --> 00:33:35,512
I would lose my mind.
784
00:33:35,547 --> 00:33:37,547
It's like you can't resist
looking up.
785
00:33:37,583 --> 00:33:40,050
You're just so used to looking
for objects in the sky
786
00:33:40,085 --> 00:33:44,688
that to remember, like, no,
you know, you've got this
whole world
787
00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:47,491
covered up with water
underneath you
788
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:48,658
that you should be paying
attention to.
789
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:52,462
That old cliche
that we know more about space
790
00:33:52,498 --> 00:33:55,699
than our own oceans
is actually kind of true.
791
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:56,767
We might be landing
probes on mars,
792
00:33:56,802 --> 00:34:00,303
but 95% of our ocean
here on earth
793
00:34:00,339 --> 00:34:02,472
remains
completely unexplored.
794
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:05,042
So, who knows
what's really down there?
795
00:34:06,678 --> 00:34:08,445
-This looks good to me.
-[phil] all right.
796
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,115
Captain, do you mind
if we just creep along
this coastline here?
797
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:13,650
-[captain bob] sure.
-All right, thanks.
798
00:34:13,685 --> 00:34:16,653
-I can take
the bow of the boat...
-Okay.
799
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:19,356
...And you take
the back of the boat.
800
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:20,757
-The stern?
-That is the bow, right?
801
00:34:20,793 --> 00:34:23,193
-Mmm-hmm.
-I got one of them right.
802
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:24,861
That's pretty good.
803
00:34:24,897 --> 00:34:27,697
[phil] preston said
this stretch of water
north of catalina
804
00:34:27,732 --> 00:34:32,602
has the most reported
uso sightings in the area
by far.
805
00:34:32,638 --> 00:34:33,970
So, as we make
passes through the area,
806
00:34:34,006 --> 00:34:37,607
captain bob will keep his eye
on the vessel's sonar
807
00:34:37,643 --> 00:34:41,511
which will help us locate
any objects under the surface.
808
00:34:41,547 --> 00:34:44,815
Sonar, which stands for
sound navigation and ranging,
809
00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:46,516
emits sound pules
into the water.
810
00:34:46,552 --> 00:34:50,720
If there is an object below,
the sound waves are reflected
back to the surface
811
00:34:50,756 --> 00:34:52,889
and will give us data
on the depth
812
00:34:52,925 --> 00:34:55,158
and even orientation
of that object.
813
00:34:56,361 --> 00:34:59,262
All right, jess,
I'm in position.
814
00:34:59,298 --> 00:35:00,764
[jessica] all right.
815
00:35:00,799 --> 00:35:02,532
[phil] while our captain
monitors underwater,
816
00:35:02,568 --> 00:35:04,768
jess and I
are covering the surface.
817
00:35:04,803 --> 00:35:06,403
We're setting up
a bank of gopros
818
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:09,339
to cover an entire
360 degree view...
819
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:11,508
All right,
ready to roll.
820
00:35:11,543 --> 00:35:13,543
...To capture
photographic evidence
821
00:35:13,579 --> 00:35:16,012
of anything
that disturbs the water.
822
00:35:20,819 --> 00:35:23,420
[jessica] oh, holy [bleep].
There's something
in the water.
823
00:35:27,759 --> 00:35:30,360
The now infamous
tic tac video,
824
00:35:30,395 --> 00:35:33,330
captured by navy pilots
in 2004,
825
00:35:33,365 --> 00:35:35,499
wasn't the only
navy ufo footage
826
00:35:35,534 --> 00:35:36,733
that was leaked
to the public.
827
00:35:36,768 --> 00:35:39,302
Two others have also seen
the light of day
828
00:35:39,338 --> 00:35:41,705
and also show
bizarre flying objects
829
00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:44,441
caught on infrared
targeting systems.
830
00:35:44,476 --> 00:35:46,376
One of these,
named the gofast video,
831
00:35:46,411 --> 00:35:51,748
was captured aboard
another navy jet in 2015,
near the coast of florida.
832
00:35:51,783 --> 00:35:53,850
The other,
known as the gimbal video,
833
00:35:53,886 --> 00:35:57,587
shows a saucer-shaped object
flying above the clouds
834
00:35:57,623 --> 00:35:59,723
against 120 knot winds.
835
00:35:59,758 --> 00:36:03,059
And, apparently,
it wasn't alone.
836
00:36:03,095 --> 00:36:04,494
After years
of public scrutiny,
837
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:10,600
the navy finally confirmed
the authenticity
of all three videos in 2019,
838
00:36:10,635 --> 00:36:11,501
leaving us to wonder,
839
00:36:11,537 --> 00:36:13,336
what other
classified footage
840
00:36:13,372 --> 00:36:16,106
of unidentified objects
haven't we seen?
841
00:36:19,044 --> 00:36:22,712
My team
is investigating the waters
off of catalina island,
842
00:36:22,748 --> 00:36:26,583
a hotspot
for both ufos and usos,
843
00:36:26,618 --> 00:36:28,818
unidentified
submerged objects,
844
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:32,689
and jess may have
just witnessed one firsthand.
845
00:36:32,724 --> 00:36:35,759
[jessica] oh, holy [bleep].
There's something
in the water.
846
00:36:35,794 --> 00:36:38,962
Right there. Do you see that?
Okay, well, now it's gone.
847
00:36:39,498 --> 00:36:41,264
It was right over there.
848
00:36:41,967 --> 00:36:44,000
Captain,
can we stop the boat?
849
00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:46,436
I mean,
it was right there.
850
00:36:46,471 --> 00:36:48,371
-Phil?
-Yeah.
851
00:36:48,407 --> 00:36:50,607
Can you come back here?
I saw something.
852
00:36:50,642 --> 00:36:52,008
[phil]
all right, coming.
853
00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:54,711
[jessica]
right over here.
854
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:56,947
It's kind of where
the land meets the water.
855
00:36:56,982 --> 00:36:58,148
Slightly below that.
856
00:36:58,183 --> 00:37:02,519
And it was just this quick,
kind of, like, pulse of light
857
00:37:02,554 --> 00:37:04,521
that came up
and then went back down.
858
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:08,358
Wait. So you saw a light
on land or in the water?
859
00:37:08,393 --> 00:37:09,659
-In-- in the water.
-In the water?
860
00:37:09,695 --> 00:37:11,361
[jessica]
in the water.
861
00:37:11,396 --> 00:37:12,963
-Really?
-Yes!
862
00:37:13,899 --> 00:37:16,499
Well, I'm seeing some towns
south and north,
863
00:37:16,535 --> 00:37:19,069
-but nothing over here.
-No, it wasn't a town light.
864
00:37:19,104 --> 00:37:21,705
It matches up with a lot
of eyewitness reports.
865
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:23,773
We gotta go
check it out.
866
00:37:23,809 --> 00:37:27,244
The only way
to identify that light
is to follow it,
867
00:37:27,279 --> 00:37:28,745
so phil has volunteered
to brave the cold
868
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:31,348
to get a closer look
on a kayak.
869
00:37:31,383 --> 00:37:32,582
-Hey, you all set?
-[phil] all set.
870
00:37:32,618 --> 00:37:34,617
-[jessica] okay, careful.
Here's the bag.
-All right.
871
00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:36,419
All right, walkie working?
872
00:37:36,455 --> 00:37:37,487
-Check.
-Check, check.
873
00:37:37,522 --> 00:37:39,422
All right, be careful.
874
00:37:39,458 --> 00:37:41,224
[phil] you got it.
875
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:49,199
Hey, jess, I'm seeing
some really big rocks
876
00:37:49,234 --> 00:37:51,234
of what might be a cave.
877
00:37:52,537 --> 00:37:54,671
[jessica]
you're gonna head on inside?
878
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:57,774
[phil] I think so.
Not sure how far it goes,
879
00:37:57,809 --> 00:38:00,777
but I feel like
we gotta go in.
880
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,579
When you get inside,
walkie me
881
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:03,813
and let me know
what it looks like.
882
00:38:03,849 --> 00:38:06,016
All right, jess.
Heading in.
883
00:38:10,889 --> 00:38:14,424
The current is strong
and already pulling me
into the cave.
884
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:16,326
If I'm not careful,
as the tide comes in,
885
00:38:16,361 --> 00:38:19,429
this entire passage
could be underwater
in minutes,
886
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,298
and I'd be trapped inside.
887
00:38:25,904 --> 00:38:28,471
Right now, it just all looks
kind of geological,
888
00:38:28,507 --> 00:38:30,373
but, wow,
it gets big in here.
889
00:38:32,611 --> 00:38:34,511
Oh, my god.
It's incredible.
890
00:38:34,546 --> 00:38:35,712
Really?
891
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:41,818
Come on. There's like
an entire cave system in here.
892
00:38:41,853 --> 00:38:44,854
So, you think, like,
a craft could be inside there?
893
00:38:44,890 --> 00:38:47,023
Like, it's large enough
for one?
894
00:38:47,392 --> 00:38:48,958
I think so.
895
00:38:51,563 --> 00:38:53,563
Looks like there's
one branch off to the side,
896
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:55,365
and it gets narrow
up ahead.
897
00:38:57,069 --> 00:38:59,402
Can you see
what's underneath the water?
898
00:38:59,438 --> 00:39:01,705
[phil] it's murky.
Can't see much.
899
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:05,408
Hang on, jess.
I'm getting pulled in
a little bit.
900
00:39:11,950 --> 00:39:15,652
-Jess, I'm seeing
light up ahead.
-Are you serious?
901
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:18,188
-[phil] I'm seeing a light.
-Okay. Well, be careful,
902
00:39:18,223 --> 00:39:19,189
but follow that light.
903
00:39:19,558 --> 00:39:21,358
[phil] whoa!
904
00:39:23,462 --> 00:39:25,895
Phil, are you...
Are you all right in there?
905
00:39:25,931 --> 00:39:28,031
[phil] the current's
really strong here.
906
00:39:31,236 --> 00:39:32,469
Phil, do you read me?
907
00:39:32,504 --> 00:39:34,270
[phil] I got shoved up
against a rock.
908
00:39:35,407 --> 00:39:37,006
Oh.
909
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:41,444
[bleep]
910
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,747
jess, I'm getting
banged around
a lot down here.
911
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:46,716
I think the tide's
standing in here.
912
00:39:46,752 --> 00:39:48,618
All right, be careful.
If you need to come out,
come out.
913
00:39:48,653 --> 00:39:51,421
Keeps trying
to pull me in deeper.
914
00:39:51,456 --> 00:39:54,090
[jessica]
phil, are you okay in there?
915
00:39:54,126 --> 00:39:57,394
-[walkie-talkie crackling]
-I'm only getting
bits and pieces.
916
00:39:57,429 --> 00:40:00,196
-[phil] you there?
-Phil?
917
00:40:02,467 --> 00:40:04,234
Phil, are you there?
918
00:40:08,106 --> 00:40:08,972
Phil?
919
00:40:09,241 --> 00:40:10,306
Phil?
920
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,516
[josh] next time
on expedition x...
921
00:40:19,551 --> 00:40:21,451
The conclusion
of one of our most
922
00:40:21,486 --> 00:40:23,920
perplexing
investigations ever.
923
00:40:24,456 --> 00:40:25,555
[jessica] oh, my god.
924
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:27,023
Are you seeing
what I'm seeing?
925
00:40:27,058 --> 00:40:30,593
[josh] for over a century,
mysterious unidentified
objects
926
00:40:30,629 --> 00:40:33,530
have been spotted
above and below the water
927
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:35,432
near southern california.
928
00:40:35,467 --> 00:40:36,566
But what are they?
929
00:40:36,601 --> 00:40:38,668
Captain, stop the boat.
930
00:40:38,703 --> 00:40:39,836
We got something
down there.
931
00:40:39,871 --> 00:40:42,439
[josh] and what's
attracting them to this spot?
932
00:40:42,474 --> 00:40:43,840
I have to be careful
of what I say
933
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,742
because I still have
a security clearance.
934
00:40:45,777 --> 00:40:47,844
[josh] the former director
of the pentagon's
935
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:50,747
top-secret ufo program
speaks out...
936
00:40:50,782 --> 00:40:52,449
[man] we have
something flying around
937
00:40:52,484 --> 00:40:54,584
that we really have no idea
what it is,
938
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:56,653
where it's from,
what the intentions are.
939
00:40:56,688 --> 00:40:57,821
[man 2]
wait. Are you seeing that?
940
00:40:57,856 --> 00:41:01,458
[josh] ...And joins my team
to hunt down strange craft
941
00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:03,827
reported in these
shadowy depths.
942
00:41:03,862 --> 00:41:04,794
[man 1] I don't know
what the hell it is.
943
00:41:04,830 --> 00:41:06,663
[man 2] what are we
looking at right here?
944
00:41:06,698 --> 00:41:09,732
[josh] can they explain
the unexplainable?
945
00:41:09,768 --> 00:41:12,702
We just got a big flash
on the rov screen.
946
00:41:12,737 --> 00:41:14,571
[josh]
and uncover the secrets...
947
00:41:14,606 --> 00:41:16,573
[jessica] holy [bleep].
948
00:41:16,608 --> 00:41:19,442
I just saw a light
come out of the water.
949
00:41:20,545 --> 00:41:22,412
...Of the aliens
of the deep.
950
00:41:22,447 --> 00:41:23,947
[phil] what the...
951
00:41:24,749 --> 00:41:26,716
