--> 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
