[Tony] Gerhardt also theorizes 211 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,583 that it could be a fabled hairless 212 00:09:18,708 --> 00:09:21,333 being from Native American tales. 213 00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:23,208 - In the north central United States, 214 00:09:23,375 --> 00:09:25,458 we have tales of the Mannegishi. 215 00:09:25,542 --> 00:09:28,000 Humanoid types of creatures, 216 00:09:28,125 --> 00:09:32,208 small in stature, but with large heads, large eyes, 217 00:09:32,375 --> 00:09:36,292 very malevolent and evil, very dangerous to humans. 218 00:09:37,375 --> 00:09:38,833 -

I think that the most 239 00:10:30,708 --> 00:10:34,125 telling disqualification is the size. 240 00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:37,500 I mean these are described consistently as little people 241 00:10:37,583 --> 00:10:40,917 and my experience with indigenous populations here, 242 00:10:41,042 --> 00:10:43,792 that can be anything from five inches tall 243 00:10:43,917 --> 00:10:45,667 to three feet tall. 244 00:10:45,792 --> 00:10:49,125 But my impression was of a more human size being 245 00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:52,458 depicted in the video rather than a very small creature. 246 00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:55,042 - [Tony] Anthropologist Kathy Strain 247 00:10:55,208 --> 00:10:57,500 has some insights into the grays theory. 248 00:10:57,583 --> 00:11:00,042 - When people talk about the grays, 249 00:11:00,167 --> 00:11:02,333 they usually bring up that there's little ones 250 00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:03,375 and there's big ones, 251 00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:06,667 and the larger ones have these very long necks 252 00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:09,292 and these big large eyes. 253 00:11:09,417 --> 00:11:13,125 And this doesn't really look like that 254 00:11:13,208 --> 00:11:16,292 because their eyes are much smaller. 255 00:11:16,417 --> 00:11:18,833 - [Tony] So if it is in the mannegishi or grays, 256 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,833 could it be the fearsome rake? 257 00:11:20,917 --> 00:11:22,917 Meldrum see some red flags. 258 00:11:23,042 --> 00:11:26,417 - One thing that struck me about this video 259 00:11:26,542 --> 00:11:30,000 was the very orchestrated feel. 260 00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:32,958 I've never heard anyone say, "Be cautious." 261 00:11:33,042 --> 00:11:34,292 -

[Tony] Next we bring in forensic 270 00:12:00,875 --> 00:12:02,917 video expert Michael Primeau to analyze 271 00:12:03,042 --> 00:12:05,833 if this video could in fact be an elaborate hoax. 272 00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:06,833 - This doesn't appear to be anything 273 00:12:06,958 --> 00:12:10,167 that was essentially CGI'd or manufactured. 274 00:12:10,292 --> 00:12:12,167 The physical aspects of the scene kind of confirmed 275 00:12:12,292 --> 00:12:14,833 that this appears to be something within this scene. 276 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,875 But whether or not it's a paranormal creature, 277 00:12:17,042 --> 00:12:18,125 determinations about that 278 00:12:18,208 --> 00:12:21,000 simply can't be made from a forensic perspective. 279 00:12:21,167 --> 00:12:22,708 - [Tony] But Primeau isn't satisfied 280 00:12:22,833 --> 00:12:24,083 and it doesn't take him long 281 00:12:24,208 --> 00:12:26,500 to find more corroborative evidence online. 282 00:12:26,625 --> 00:12:27,667 - Upon further investigating, 283 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:30,833 I found evidence that supported that this particular 284 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,167 person that created this video 285 00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:35,292 had some sort of IMDB profile. 286 00:12:35,375 --> 00:12:38,042 Specifically in the genre of science fiction. 287 00:12:38,167 --> 00:12:41,000 It appears that this person does this professionally 288 00:12:41,083 --> 00:12:44,125 in some capacity to create videos like this. 289 00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:47,458 It's pretty clear cut here that these videos 290 00:12:47,583 --> 00:12:50,250 have been post produced in and they are fake. 291 00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:52,583 -

When I listened to this the first time, 386 00:17:10,875 --> 00:17:13,583 I had a hard time distinguishing what sounds 387 00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:15,542 people thought were the bigfoot sounds. 388 00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:18,000 To me it all sounded wolf like. 389 00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:20,708 Towards the end there's some coyotes. 390 00:17:20,875 --> 00:17:23,542 (coyotes howling) 391 00:17:23,708 --> 00:17:25,250 There's actually been studies 392 00:17:25,375 --> 00:17:28,375 on people estimating coyote size just based 393 00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:33,750 on how loud it is and they pretty much always overestimate. 394 00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:36,375 So just because it's a large vocalization 395 00:17:36,542 --> 00:17:39,375 doesn't mean it's necessarily from a large animal. 396 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:41,792 (creature howling) 397 00:17:43,042 --> 00:17:44,417 - [Tony] With that, we go to soundscape ecologist, 398 00:17:44,542 --> 00:17:47,333 Ben Gottesman for his opinion on how these sounds compare 399 00:17:47,417 --> 00:17:50,167 to known wolf vocalizations. 400 00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,417 (creature howling) 401 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:55,833 (wolf howling) 402 00:17:57,875 --> 00:18:00,792 - The frequency range matches quite well. 403 00:18:00,875 --> 00:18:03,875 The big, big, big difference is that wolves 404 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,958 usually howl for pretty long periods of time, 405 00:18:07,083 --> 00:18:11,042 whereas all of the howls in this recording are quite short. 406 00:18:11,167 --> 00:18:13,458 (creature howling) 407 00:18:14,458 --> 00:18:15,833 - [Tony] And that leads Gottesman 408 00:18:15,958 --> 00:18:17,250 to an important discovery. 409 00:18:17,375 --> 00:18:19,667 - So I found a number of instances here 410 00:18:19,792 --> 00:18:24,042 where the clips were just cut midway through. 411 00:18:24,167 --> 00:18:26,333 (creature howling) 412 00:18:27,333 --> 00:18:28,458 So did you hear that? 413 00:18:28,583 --> 00:18:31,167 It completely cuts off and then starts up again. 414 00:18:31,292 --> 00:18:33,667 (creature howling) 415 00:18:33,833 --> 00:18:35,667 Those might have been wolf and coyote howls, 416 00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:37,792 but they were heavily edited to create 417 00:18:37,917 --> 00:18:41,500 what sounds like a much weirder creature. 418 00:18:41,625 --> 00:18:43,875 (creature howling) 419 00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:47,583 (tense music) 420 00:18:48,792 --> 00:18:51,917 - Our verdict, this sound is a hoax. 421 00:18:52,042 --> 00:18:53,500 But listen to this. 422 00:18:54,417 --> 00:18:55,667 (whooping) 423 00:18:55,792 --> 00:18:57,667 There have been cases of strange, 424 00:18:57,792 --> 00:19:01,167 unexplained howls that experts have not ruled out 425 00:19:01,292 --> 00:19:04,292 as being Bigfoot calls like this one. 426 00:19:04,375 --> 00:19:06,417 So even though the one we just examined 427 00:19:06,542 --> 00:19:07,708 doesn't cut the mustard, 428 00:19:07,833 --> 00:19:10,917 we will keep our ears open for signs of Sasquatch. 429 00:19:14,708 --> 00:19:16,917 - On this show, we've covered our fair share 430 00:19:17,042 --> 00:19:19,000 of strange flying objects. 431 00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:21,833 From weather balloons to genuine UFOs, we've seen it all. 432 00:19:21,958 --> 00:19:24,000 But what we haven't seen before is one 433 00:19:24,125 --> 00:19:25,667 of these mysterious aircraft 434 00:19:25,833 --> 00:19:27,958 on the ground up close and personal. 435 00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:30,583 You'd think seeing them that way would make them 436 00:19:30,708 --> 00:19:33,833 easier to identify but not always. 437 00:19:33,958 --> 00:19:34,833 Take a look. 438 00:19:34,958 --> 00:19:38,125 September 2021, an anonymous source 439 00:19:38,208 --> 00:19:40,417 at a construction site near Edwards Air Force base 440 00:19:40,542 --> 00:19:43,125 in California spots an unusual structure 441 00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,167 being towed by a large truck. 442 00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:46,583 - [Witness] What the... 443 00:19:46,708 --> 00:19:49,375 - [Tony] The video shows what appears to be a UFO like craft 444 00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:52,042 being transported on the flatbed trailer. 445 00:19:52,167 --> 00:19:53,000 Let's take a closer look. 446 00:19:54,542 --> 00:19:56,417 At first glance, the shape of this mysterious 447 00:19:56,542 --> 00:19:57,875 object seems reminiscent of the 448 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,167 curved contours of a B2 stealth bomber. 449 00:20:01,292 --> 00:20:02,833 But upon closer examination, 450 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,292 it doesn't seem capable of flight. 451 00:20:05,417 --> 00:20:07,167 Science writer Amy Teitel says people 452 00:20:07,292 --> 00:20:08,667 tracked down the location of the video 453 00:20:08,792 --> 00:20:10,750 soon after it was posted online. 454 00:20:10,875 --> 00:20:12,667 - Internet sleuths were able to determine 455 00:20:12,792 --> 00:20:14,833 that it was taken at Skunkworks. 456 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,667 Skunkworks is where Lockheed Martin 457 00:20:16,792 --> 00:20:19,667 was designing spy planes back in the '50s and '60s. 458 00:20:19,792 --> 00:20:21,417 So it's possible that we're seeing something 459 00:20:21,542 --> 00:20:23,792 that we weren't meant to see. 460 00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:27,167 - [Tony] In 2021, former Nevada Senator Harry Reid, 461 00:20:27,333 --> 00:20:29,417 whose state is home to Area 51, 462 00:20:29,542 --> 00:20:31,333 made an even more shocking claim. 463 00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:33,667 That the defense contractors at Lockheed Martin 464 00:20:33,792 --> 00:20:37,500 may also be in possession of fragments of a crashed UFO. 465 00:20:37,583 --> 00:20:39,625 - A lot of conspiracy theorists will say 466 00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:42,083 that aliens are drawn to the desert 467 00:20:42,208 --> 00:20:43,667 out in California or Nevada. 468 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:47,542 So this is an area where they will land or will crash 469 00:20:47,708 --> 00:20:50,500 and that opens the door for engineers to then collect them 470 00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:52,500 and then reverse engineer and understand 471 00:20:52,667 --> 00:20:54,833 what technology aliens are dealing with. 472 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,167 - [Tony] Many believe that one of these alien technologies 473 00:20:57,292 --> 00:20:58,500 could have led to the development 474 00:20:58,667 --> 00:21:02,083 of what's known on Earth as metametals. 475 00:21:02,208 --> 00:21:04,500 - There's a type of material called metametals. 476 00:21:04,667 --> 00:21:07,250 It absorbs light and electromagnetic radiation 477 00:21:07,375 --> 00:21:08,583 and any kind of radio waves, 478 00:21:08,708 --> 00:21:12,083 which would theoretically make it almost an invisible metal 479 00:21:12,208 --> 00:21:15,958 because it would be unable to be seen on radar. 480 00:21:16,042 --> 00:21:18,792 It could even be slightly invisible to the naked eye 481 00:21:18,875 --> 00:21:21,250 if it's refracting light in a certain way. 482 00:21:21,375 --> 00:21:23,667 - [Tony] We know that a former Skunkworks director 483 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,500 has teamed up with a private research group 484 00:21:25,667 --> 00:21:27,583 to study an exotic metal object 485 00:21:27,708 --> 00:21:30,375 that was recently purchased for $35,000. 486 00:21:30,542 --> 00:21:32,958 The person who sold the possible meta material 487 00:21:33,042 --> 00:21:35,500 claims it came off of a UFO that crashed 488 00:21:35,583 --> 00:21:39,458 in New Mexico's White Sands proving grounds in 1947. 489 00:21:39,583 --> 00:21:42,583 So, could this footage show something similar? 490 00:21:44,792 --> 00:21:46,458 After this video was posted, 491 00:21:46,583 --> 00:21:49,000 a reporter asked the Lockheed Martin executive 492 00:21:49,125 --> 00:21:51,667 in charge of Skunkworks if he was able 493 00:21:51,833 --> 00:21:53,500 to tell us anything about what we saw. 494 00:21:53,667 --> 00:21:56,542 He simply replied, I can't. 495 00:21:56,667 --> 00:21:57,833 So the truth may be out there, 496 00:21:57,958 --> 00:22:00,458 but Lockheed Martin isn't talking. 497 00:22:00,583 --> 00:22:03,167 Let's see if our experts can crack the case. 498 00:22:03,250 --> 00:22:05,667 (tense music) 499 00:22:07,708 --> 00:22:10,000 Aviation expert Tim McMillan admits that the object 500 00:22:10,167 --> 00:22:13,167 seen in the video does seem alien in nature. 501 00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:15,833 - At first glance, it definitely looks like a UFO. 502 00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:18,750 If we were gonna draw an alien spacecraft, 503 00:22:18,875 --> 00:22:20,750 we might draw something like this. 504 00:22:20,875 --> 00:22:22,583 - [Tony] Still, McMillan has his doubts 505 00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:24,500 that we could be looking at a recovered UFO. 506 00:22:24,625 --> 00:22:25,708 - One of the first things that says 507 00:22:25,833 --> 00:22:27,167 that this is probably not a UFO 508 00:22:27,292 --> 00:22:29,333 is if they're going to move it in the daytime, 509 00:22:29,458 --> 00:22:30,750 they're gonna do it in a manner 510 00:22:30,875 --> 00:22:33,167 where it is completely sequestered. 511 00:22:33,292 --> 00:22:34,167 - [Tony] So it seems strange 512 00:22:34,250 --> 00:22:36,833 they would transport a UFO out in the open, 513 00:22:36,958 --> 00:22:38,708 but it sure doesn't look aerodynamic 514 00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:41,667 or like any sort of aircraft we fly here on Earth 515 00:22:41,833 --> 00:22:43,667 and since we can't test for metametals, 516 00:22:43,833 --> 00:22:45,667 it's hard to confirm it's material. 517 00:22:46,833 --> 00:22:48,750 So then what are we looking at here? 518 00:22:48,875 --> 00:22:51,167 Under further examination, video analyst Mick West 519 00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:54,167 spots a detail that could shed some more light. 520 00:22:54,292 --> 00:22:55,833 - [Mick] This structure in the background, 521 00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:58,833 it looks like some kind of perhaps massive radar 522 00:22:58,917 --> 00:23:00,542 installation and I think it's a big clue 523 00:23:00,708 --> 00:23:02,833 as to what this facility actually is. 524 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,750 - [Tony] On a hunch, we geolocated the structure 525 00:23:05,875 --> 00:23:07,833 using an open source intelligence comparison 526 00:23:07,917 --> 00:23:10,125 of the scaffolding buildings and foliage. 527 00:23:10,208 --> 00:23:12,708 It is possible to pinpoint the exact spot 528 00:23:12,833 --> 00:23:14,625 where this incident took place. 529 00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:17,875 The Helendale Radar Cross Section Facility. 530 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,083 - The testing facility is where the military 531 00:23:22,208 --> 00:23:24,958 test what their planes look like on radar. 532 00:23:25,042 --> 00:23:27,333 Sometimes they just build parts of the plane 533 00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:29,958 and they'll look at it with radars from different directions 534 00:23:30,083 --> 00:23:31,750 and they want to see how much 535 00:23:31,875 --> 00:23:34,042 this one part of the plane actually 536 00:23:34,167 --> 00:23:36,333 contributes to the radar cross-section. 537 00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:37,250 - [Tony] Based on its shape, 538 00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:39,750 West speculates that this is the fuselage 539 00:23:39,875 --> 00:23:41,667 of a novel future stealth fighter 540 00:23:41,833 --> 00:23:44,792 with a curved rather than an angular profile 541 00:23:44,875 --> 00:23:47,833 and without a tail section or stabilizers. 542 00:23:47,917 --> 00:23:50,167 (tense music) 543 00:23:51,917 --> 00:23:55,083 Our verdict, this model certainly pinged our radar, 544 00:23:55,208 --> 00:23:57,292 but in the end it was simply a prop 545 00:23:57,375 --> 00:24:00,083 for radar testing being done in the area. 546 00:24:00,208 --> 00:24:02,500 Military leaks happen all the time though, 547 00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:04,500 so keep your eyes to the sky 548 00:24:04,583 --> 00:24:08,042 and you might just see something you weren't supposed to. 549 00:24:11,792 --> 00:24:13,750 - In November of 2021, 550 00:24:13,875 --> 00:24:15,792 the Pentagon announced the establishment 551 00:24:15,875 --> 00:24:17,208 of a new UFO task force 552 00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:19,875 and just in time for our next sighting, 553 00:24:20,042 --> 00:24:23,167 which took place on that very same day. 554 00:24:23,250 --> 00:24:25,958 Coincidence? We'll let you decide. 555 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:29,375 November 24th, 2021, 556 00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,667 a commercial plane is on an early morning flight 557 00:24:31,792 --> 00:24:32,792 near Hong Kong. 558 00:24:32,917 --> 00:24:34,833 As the plane flies over the South China Sea 559 00:24:34,917 --> 00:24:37,167 at 39,000 feet, an unusual sight 560 00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:39,750 out of the right window prompts the pilot 561 00:24:39,875 --> 00:24:42,833 to whip out his cell phone and record this. 562 00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:48,375 Nine orbs are moving across the sky in three organized rows. 563 00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:49,250 Let's zoom in. 564 00:24:50,292 --> 00:24:51,167 The wildest part, 565 00:24:51,250 --> 00:24:53,667 watch how the orbs on the left disappear 566 00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:55,500 before three more orbs reappear 567 00:24:55,625 --> 00:24:59,375 on the far side of the formation and the cycle repeats. 568 00:25:05,208 --> 00:25:06,625 - [Tony] Journalist Eric Grundhauser 569 00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:07,833 explains that after a few minutes, 570 00:25:07,917 --> 00:25:10,833 the mysterious objects do something extraordinary. 571 00:25:10,958 --> 00:25:12,667 - These orbs seem to be blinking 572 00:25:12,792 --> 00:25:16,000 in some kind of pattern or signal 573 00:25:16,125 --> 00:25:21,167 until finally one by one they slowly, slowly disappear 574 00:25:21,292 --> 00:25:24,667 and then they're all just gone. 575 00:25:24,792 --> 00:25:26,250 - [Tony] The video quickly goes viral, 576 00:25:26,375 --> 00:25:28,458 racking up nearly 300,000 views. 577 00:25:28,542 --> 00:25:30,667 But the question is what could they be? 578 00:25:30,792 --> 00:25:31,708 - There were a number of theories 579 00:25:31,833 --> 00:25:34,208 as to what the lights could actually be. 580 00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:37,958 One of the most popular is of course, that they were UFOs. 581 00:25:38,042 --> 00:25:39,708 - [Tony] Patterns of strange lights in the sky 582 00:25:39,833 --> 00:25:41,542 have been observed for decades. 583 00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:45,167 In 1951, a group of scientists from Texas Technical College 584 00:25:45,250 --> 00:25:47,208 claimed to see a group of 15 to 30 585 00:25:47,333 --> 00:25:50,000 bluish green objects flying in formation. 586 00:25:50,083 --> 00:25:52,542 A student at the college snapped these photographs 587 00:25:52,708 --> 00:25:56,208 and the phenomenon became known as the Lubbock Lights. 588 00:25:56,333 --> 00:25:58,833 The incident grabbed headlines across the nation. 589 00:25:58,917 --> 00:26:00,333 But why would this formation 590 00:26:00,417 --> 00:26:02,833 of lights be so near another airplane? 591 00:26:02,958 --> 00:26:05,708 Grundhauser says Some Ufologists have theories. 592 00:26:05,833 --> 00:26:09,333 - Some theories include that they are trying to show us the 593 00:26:09,458 --> 00:26:11,875 technology that they have almost in comparison 594 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,375 to the technology we are using. 595 00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:15,375 It's also possible that especially 596 00:26:15,542 --> 00:26:18,167 when it comes to military aircraft, 597 00:26:18,250 --> 00:26:22,000 maybe the aliens are just getting a measure of us, 598 00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:25,083 seeing what our technology can do. 599 00:26:26,875 --> 00:26:29,208 - Today, the formal US government name 600 00:26:29,333 --> 00:26:33,000 of the UFO Task force is the Airborne Object 601 00:26:33,083 --> 00:26:36,833 Identification and Management Synchronization Group. 602 00:26:36,958 --> 00:26:39,000 Lord, if you can come up with a clunkier name, 603 00:26:39,083 --> 00:26:41,875 please, please email it to us. 604 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,292 This organization wasn't established until after 605 00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:46,667 more than 100 incidents documented 606 00:26:46,792 --> 00:26:48,583 by military planes were officially 607 00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:50,708 classified as unexplained. 608 00:26:50,833 --> 00:26:52,750 So did this pilot's strange encounter 609 00:26:52,875 --> 00:26:56,667 over the South China Sea merit a report with the department? 610 00:26:56,792 --> 00:26:58,542 We ask our experts. 611 00:26:58,708 --> 00:27:00,958 (tense music) 612 00:27:02,458 --> 00:27:04,958 First, we head to forensic video analyst Michael Primeau. 613 00:27:05,083 --> 00:27:07,292 Is this video even legit? 614 00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:08,333 - What's interesting about this recording 615 00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:11,958 is there is a moment where that automatic iris 616 00:27:12,042 --> 00:27:14,667 makes a change and the white balance overall 617 00:27:14,792 --> 00:27:16,042 in the image changes 618 00:27:16,208 --> 00:27:18,833 and the intensity of the objects doesn't. 619 00:27:18,917 --> 00:27:20,083 They stay fairly consistent. 620 00:27:20,208 --> 00:27:23,000 So I did not detect any evidence that these objects 621 00:27:23,083 --> 00:27:24,250 were overlaid into the recording 622 00:27:24,375 --> 00:27:26,208 or any CGI was used to create them. 623 00:27:26,375 --> 00:27:28,708 So this video does appear to be genuine. 624 00:27:28,833 --> 00:27:31,500 - [Tony] Next, we turn to meteorologist Juan Hernandez. 625 00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:34,000 Are we looking at some kind of atmospheric phenomenon? 626 00:27:34,125 --> 00:27:36,833 - When we see lightning, it's a very quick flash. 627 00:27:36,958 --> 00:27:39,125 It's a discharge of electricity. 628 00:27:39,208 --> 00:27:40,750 In this case, it's a light that appears 629 00:27:40,875 --> 00:27:43,042 to be fairly static for a couple 630 00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:46,000 of seconds and then it goes away. 631 00:27:46,083 --> 00:27:48,375 There really is no weather phenomena out there 632 00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:52,792 that would manifest itself as an orb or a light. 633 00:27:52,875 --> 00:27:54,000 - [Tony] If it's not atmospheric, 634 00:27:54,083 --> 00:27:56,500 could these be actual alien ships? 635 00:27:56,583 --> 00:27:58,167 We take the mystery to science writer 636 00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:00,000 and video analyst Mick West. 637 00:28:00,083 --> 00:28:01,750 - They're not doing anything amazing 638 00:28:01,875 --> 00:28:03,333 in terms of moving very fast. 639 00:28:03,417 --> 00:28:05,125 They don't appear to be shooting upwards, 640 00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:07,792 which is a typical thing that you see in UFO videos. 641 00:28:07,917 --> 00:28:12,375 So it probably has a relatively earthly explanation. 642 00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:13,667 - [Tony] Maybe that steady formation 643 00:28:13,792 --> 00:28:18,167 that rules out UFOs rules in another explanation, drones. 644 00:28:18,292 --> 00:28:21,667 - Now, we see very impressive aerial setups sometimes 645 00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:25,208 where lots of drones fly in synchronized shapes, 646 00:28:25,333 --> 00:28:27,375 but no one's going to be making a drone display 647 00:28:27,542 --> 00:28:29,708 at 20,000 feet over the South China Sea 648 00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:32,833 and drones are probably not gonna be bright enough 649 00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:34,500 to be seen at that distance. 650 00:28:34,583 --> 00:28:36,500 - [Tony] But West does find a clue in the video 651 00:28:36,625 --> 00:28:39,167 that he believes is key to solving the mystery. 652 00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:42,000 - I think probably what we're looking at here 653 00:28:42,125 --> 00:28:45,375 are three military planes dropping flares. 654 00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:47,000 - [Tony] Many fighter jets employ 655 00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:50,042 decoy flares which burn on contact with the air, 656 00:28:50,208 --> 00:28:52,708 and at a temperature hotter than the engine exhaust. 657 00:28:52,875 --> 00:28:55,375 They're deployed to attract heat seeking missiles. 658 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,500 And it's possible this timed formation 659 00:28:57,583 --> 00:28:59,708 is due to a training exercise. 660 00:28:59,833 --> 00:29:01,458 - These decoy flares, 661 00:29:01,583 --> 00:29:03,792 they need to burn as bright as possible initially 662 00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:06,708 so that they can guide the missiles away from the plane 663 00:29:06,875 --> 00:29:08,792 and then they're just allowed to burn out. 664 00:29:08,875 --> 00:29:10,958 - [Tony] Meanwhile, US government officials claim 665 00:29:11,042 --> 00:29:12,417 China has fully militarized 666 00:29:12,542 --> 00:29:14,167 at least three artificial islands 667 00:29:14,292 --> 00:29:16,458 they've constructed in the South China Sea. 668 00:29:16,583 --> 00:29:18,417 - There's probably Chinese military aircraft 669 00:29:18,542 --> 00:29:20,583 just doing some kind of exercise. 670 00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:23,750 Fighter jets are usually highly camouflaged. 671 00:29:23,875 --> 00:29:27,500 So since it's dusk, there's gray clouds behind. 672 00:29:27,583 --> 00:29:30,542 It's simply too far away to see the planes. 673 00:29:30,708 --> 00:29:32,667 (tense music) 674 00:29:34,333 --> 00:29:36,792 - Our verdict, military flares. 675 00:29:36,917 --> 00:29:40,833 The South China Sea has gained major geopolitical significance 676 00:29:40,958 --> 00:29:42,375 because a huge share of the world's 677 00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:44,833 maritime shipping passes through it. 678 00:29:44,958 --> 00:29:45,917 Given that the area has seen 679 00:29:46,042 --> 00:29:49,000 a variety of territorial disputes of late, 680 00:29:49,125 --> 00:29:50,667 it's not too surprising to see 681 00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:53,542 a military presence in the airspace above it. 682 00:29:57,333 --> 00:29:59,500 - No matter your opinions on Bigfoot, 683 00:29:59,625 --> 00:30:03,167 the one thing we can all agree on is that he's, well, big. 684 00:30:03,292 --> 00:30:06,167 Most reports clock him at 8 to 10 feet tall, 685 00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:08,667 so you think he'd be easier to find. 686 00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:11,667 And in our next story, it's precisely the size 687 00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:14,583 of the creature that catches our eye. 688 00:30:14,708 --> 00:30:18,500 It's a clear day in Provo, Utah in February 2019. 689 00:30:18,667 --> 00:30:20,667 Local hunters are preparing in the driveway 690 00:30:20,750 --> 00:30:22,750 of a home when one of them spots something 691 00:30:22,875 --> 00:30:24,208 on the mountains in the distance 692 00:30:24,333 --> 00:30:26,917 in stark contrast with the white snow. 693 00:30:27,042 --> 00:30:29,417 - [Witness] I was gonna get more footage of the Sasquatch. 694 00:30:29,542 --> 00:30:31,167 - [Tony] It's hard to spot with a naked eye, 695 00:30:31,292 --> 00:30:32,500 but once the hunter zooms in, 696 00:30:32,625 --> 00:30:34,500 we can see there's a hulking figure 697 00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:36,500 on one of the mountain ridges. 698 00:30:36,583 --> 00:30:38,333 It's visible even from this distance. 699 00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:39,917 - [Witness] He's on the mountain, 700 00:30:40,042 --> 00:30:42,000 way far back on the mountain, 701 00:30:42,167 --> 00:30:44,250 but look how huge he is. 702 00:30:44,375 --> 00:30:45,833 - [Tony] Field researcher Cliff Barackman 703 00:30:45,958 --> 00:30:47,458 provides a much needed context 704 00:30:47,583 --> 00:30:50,000 about the location of this supposed sighting. 705 00:30:50,125 --> 00:30:53,667 - There are seven documented Sasquatch sighting reports 706 00:30:53,833 --> 00:30:56,958 from Utah County, which is where Provo, Utah is. 707 00:30:57,042 --> 00:31:01,375 There are probably 700 that we've never heard about. 708 00:31:01,542 --> 00:31:02,500 - [Tony] According to Barackman, 709 00:31:02,583 --> 00:31:04,292 this video has a lot of things going for it 710 00:31:04,417 --> 00:31:06,000 in terms of the figure's appearance. 711 00:31:06,083 --> 00:31:07,333 - If you look very closely, 712 00:31:07,458 --> 00:31:12,125 you can actually make out that this is walking on two legs. 713 00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:13,833 It is one color from head to toe, 714 00:31:13,958 --> 00:31:16,417 that shows us it is not wearing clothing. 715 00:31:16,542 --> 00:31:18,542 You would be able to see differentiation in color, 716 00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:21,042 but this is one color head to toe, 717 00:31:21,167 --> 00:31:22,750 which indicates to me 718 00:31:22,875 --> 00:31:27,667 that this large bipedal thing is probably fur covered. 719 00:31:27,792 --> 00:31:29,000 - [Tony] But he also says we shouldn't 720 00:31:29,167 --> 00:31:32,042 believe the Hollywood version of the cuddly gentle giant. 721 00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:35,708 According to some accounts, these creatures can be killers. 722 00:31:35,875 --> 00:31:38,458 - There have been cases of Sasquatches 723 00:31:38,542 --> 00:31:42,500 going after humans as a food source. 724 00:31:42,625 --> 00:31:45,708 One example was written about by Teddy Roosevelt 725 00:31:45,875 --> 00:31:48,792 in his book, the Wilderness Hunter. 726 00:31:48,875 --> 00:31:51,333 In this book, Roosevelt talks about meeting 727 00:31:51,417 --> 00:31:54,500 a grizzled old woodsman named Bowman, 728 00:31:54,583 --> 00:31:57,500 who tells a tale of going into a secluded valley 729 00:31:57,667 --> 00:32:01,125 to trap beavers and other animals with two partners, 730 00:32:01,208 --> 00:32:03,333 only one man got out. 731 00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:06,667 They saw a bipedal figure that stank really bad, 732 00:32:06,750 --> 00:32:09,000 leaving big footprints and they shot at it, 733 00:32:09,083 --> 00:32:10,292 which is a bad idea. 734 00:32:10,417 --> 00:32:11,333 Don't shoot at a Bigfoot. 735 00:32:11,458 --> 00:32:13,625 They don't like it, they'll come for you. 736 00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:16,792 And two of his partners paid the price. 737 00:32:19,083 --> 00:32:20,333 - Like UFO research, 738 00:32:20,458 --> 00:32:23,583 Bigfoot hunting is edging closer to the mainstream. 739 00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:26,500 A recent cover story in the Wall Street Journal 740 00:32:26,667 --> 00:32:29,708 of all places, reports that a growing number of academics, 741 00:32:29,875 --> 00:32:32,542 including primatologist, anthropologist, 742 00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:36,917 and wildlife biologist, are taking the subject seriously. 743 00:32:37,042 --> 00:32:39,417 Even though they often prefer to do so anonymously 744 00:32:39,542 --> 00:32:41,708 for fear of reputational harm. 745 00:32:41,875 --> 00:32:44,958 But our experts aren't shy about offering their opinions. 746 00:32:45,083 --> 00:32:48,000 So let's see what they make of this footage. 747 00:32:48,167 --> 00:32:50,458 (tense music) 748 00:32:52,042 --> 00:32:53,542 Wildlife biologist Floyd Hayes 749 00:32:53,708 --> 00:32:55,833 compares what we're seeing to the local fauna. 750 00:32:55,958 --> 00:32:58,333 - This could potentially be a black bear. 751 00:32:58,458 --> 00:33:00,333 It looks a little bit big for a black bear, 752 00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:03,042 but they do stand on their hind legs sometimes. 753 00:33:03,208 --> 00:33:04,833 They do live in the Provo area, 754 00:33:04,958 --> 00:33:07,500 but normally they are hibernating during the winter 755 00:33:07,583 --> 00:33:09,250 when there's snow on the ground. 756 00:33:09,375 --> 00:33:10,667 - [Tony] So, given the winter weather, 757 00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:12,667 a black bear seems unlikely. 758 00:33:12,792 --> 00:33:14,333 - It's possible that this is a moose. 759 00:33:14,417 --> 00:33:16,125 They are very large, 760 00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:17,833 they're active year round. 761 00:33:17,917 --> 00:33:22,042 The cow or female moose does not have antlers. 762 00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:23,333 - [Tony] While there is a chance 763 00:33:23,417 --> 00:33:24,583 that the right angle would create 764 00:33:24,708 --> 00:33:26,000 the illusion of standing upright, 765 00:33:26,083 --> 00:33:28,667 this occurring with the quadrupedal moose 766 00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:30,625 also seems highly unlikely. 767 00:33:30,708 --> 00:33:32,667 Next, return to anatomist and anthropologist 768 00:33:32,792 --> 00:33:35,500 Jeff Meldrum, a former resident of Provo, Utah 769 00:33:35,583 --> 00:33:37,333 who sees a red flag. 770 00:33:37,417 --> 00:33:41,542 - That's just a very unlikely place to expect 771 00:33:41,667 --> 00:33:45,750 an elusive creature like Sasquatch is described as 772 00:33:45,875 --> 00:33:49,417 to venture out into the the open in the broad of daylight. 773 00:33:49,542 --> 00:33:51,792 If there was anything attracting its intention, 774 00:33:51,875 --> 00:33:54,958 I would suspect it would be more likely to investigate 775 00:33:55,042 --> 00:33:57,708 or take advantage of that under the cover of darkness. 776 00:33:57,875 --> 00:33:58,875 - [Tony] But what about the characteristic 777 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,292 that caught our attention in the first place? 778 00:34:01,375 --> 00:34:03,000 Does size matter? 779 00:34:03,125 --> 00:34:04,875 - [Witness] Look how huge he is. 780 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,625 - The slightly higher and the slightly more watered 781 00:34:07,708 --> 00:34:08,875 flanks of those foothills 782 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000 are a mixture of sage brush and mostly scrub oak, 783 00:34:12,125 --> 00:34:13,458 which rarely gets much more than 784 00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:16,375 about six, seven feet in height. 785 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,000 I think a human sized subject 786 00:34:18,125 --> 00:34:21,708 is the most reasonable conclusion to draw. 787 00:34:21,875 --> 00:34:23,833 (tense music) 788 00:34:25,792 --> 00:34:29,500 - Our verdict, we're calling this one a man in a suit. 789 00:34:29,625 --> 00:34:32,250 The kicker, according to Professor Meldrum, 790 00:34:32,375 --> 00:34:34,042 very shortly after this incident, 791 00:34:34,167 --> 00:34:36,917 someone climbed the mountain to look for tracks. 792 00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:39,708 And while they didn't find big footprints, 793 00:34:39,875 --> 00:34:42,708 they did find boot prints. 794 00:34:46,583 --> 00:34:48,250 - You may remember a previous story we brought you 795 00:34:48,375 --> 00:34:50,625 about mysterious monoliths popping up 796 00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:53,292 all over the world back in 2020, 797 00:34:53,375 --> 00:34:55,500 but a lesser known monolithic structure 798 00:34:55,667 --> 00:34:59,500 also appeared out of nowhere nearly 40 years ago. 799 00:34:59,583 --> 00:35:02,458 And some believe it spelled doom for mankind. 800 00:35:03,583 --> 00:35:07,000 It's December 2021 in Elberton, Georgia. 801 00:35:07,083 --> 00:35:09,875 Musician Jason Stalworth is on a road trip when he comes 802 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,875 across a peculiar site and decides to film it. 803 00:35:14,042 --> 00:35:16,792 (dramatic choral music) 804 00:35:16,875 --> 00:35:18,500 - I'll show you something really cool 805 00:35:18,625 --> 00:35:20,875 that maybe many of you have never seen before 806 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,500 and you probably don't even know about. 807 00:35:22,625 --> 00:35:26,792 But these are the Georgia Guidestones. 808 00:35:26,875 --> 00:35:30,667 This is like for post apocalypse living. 809 00:35:30,792 --> 00:35:32,250 - [Tony] The strange structure is composed 810 00:35:32,375 --> 00:35:33,833 of four granite slabs connected 811 00:35:33,958 --> 00:35:36,708 by a T-shaped stone pillar in the middle. 812 00:35:36,875 --> 00:35:39,917 From above, it seems to form an X with a capstone. 813 00:35:40,042 --> 00:35:41,875 The monument is over 19 feet tall 814 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,667 and is believed to weigh over 120 ton. 815 00:35:45,792 --> 00:35:47,875 - [Jason] It's like Stone Henge of Georgia here. 816 00:35:49,167 --> 00:35:51,542 - [Tony] On each tablet is writing in different languages, 817 00:35:51,708 --> 00:35:53,250 which journalist Erin McCarthy says 818 00:35:53,375 --> 00:35:54,542 just adds to the mystery. 819 00:35:54,667 --> 00:35:59,625 - There are 10 guidelines written in 8 languages, 820 00:35:59,708 --> 00:36:02,917 including Chinese, Swahili, Hebrew, 821 00:36:03,042 --> 00:36:05,333 English, and Russian. 822 00:36:05,417 --> 00:36:08,542 For how to continue society after 823 00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,208 some kind of apocalyptic event. 824 00:36:14,667 --> 00:36:17,375 It also has slot as well as holes 825 00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:18,500 in the monument that allow it 826 00:36:18,583 --> 00:36:21,458 to act as an astronomical calendar. 827 00:36:21,583 --> 00:36:22,750 - [Tony] Since the Guidestones were put up 828 00:36:22,875 --> 00:36:24,750 toward the end of the Cold War, 829 00:36:24,875 --> 00:36:26,917 some wonder if they were meant as messages 830 00:36:27,042 --> 00:36:31,375 for the future of humanity following nuclear annihilation. 831 00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:32,708 (explosion booming) 832 00:36:32,833 --> 00:36:34,583 But McCarthy says the cryptic writing 833 00:36:34,708 --> 00:36:37,167 is far from the strangest thing about this structure. 834 00:36:37,250 --> 00:36:42,333 - No one seems to know who commissioned it or why. 835 00:36:43,458 --> 00:36:46,042 The story goes that one day in 1979, 836 00:36:46,208 --> 00:36:50,250 a man named Robert C. Christian, not his real name, 837 00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:52,625 walked into the Elberton Granite Finishing Company 838 00:36:52,750 --> 00:36:55,292 with the idea for a monument. 839 00:36:55,375 --> 00:36:59,333 And he said that he was serving as a representative for a quote, 840 00:36:59,417 --> 00:37:01,250 "small group of loyal Americans" 841 00:37:01,375 --> 00:37:04,000 who had been planning this monument for 20 years. 842 00:37:04,125 --> 00:37:06,083 - [Tony] RC Christian was a pseudonym. 843 00:37:06,208 --> 00:37:07,208 So to this day, 844 00:37:07,375 --> 00:37:09,625 no one knows who actually commissioned the structure. 845 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:11,667 This mystery has further fueled speculation 846 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:13,125 about its true purpose. 847 00:37:14,292 --> 00:37:16,542 - The guidelines on the stones included maintain 848 00:37:16,708 --> 00:37:20,167 humanity under 500 million in balance with nature. 849 00:37:20,250 --> 00:37:23,208 Some have actually criticized these guidelines 850 00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:28,000 and said that they are in favor of genocide and eugenics. 851 00:37:28,125 --> 00:37:30,583 And then of course there was an idea that RC Christian 852 00:37:30,708 --> 00:37:34,000 was actually a representative of a satanic group. 853 00:37:35,042 --> 00:37:35,875 - [Tony] The monument has been called 854 00:37:36,042 --> 00:37:38,083 "the 10 Commandments of the Antichrist" 855 00:37:38,208 --> 00:37:40,500 due to the evident biblical connotations 856 00:37:40,625 --> 00:37:43,125 in its design without any reference to God. 857 00:37:43,208 --> 00:37:45,333 There's even a theory it was built as an altar 858 00:37:45,417 --> 00:37:47,167 for human sacrifice. 859 00:37:47,292 --> 00:37:50,333 So some people, including a Georgia gubernatorial candidate, 860 00:37:50,458 --> 00:37:52,208 have even called it an abomination 861 00:37:52,333 --> 00:37:53,750 that had to come down. 862 00:37:54,875 --> 00:37:57,750 - [Woman] It is a war between good and evil. 863 00:38:01,792 --> 00:38:04,208 - Well, recently they got their wish. 864 00:38:04,375 --> 00:38:06,208 In early July, 2022, 865 00:38:06,333 --> 00:38:09,250 someone planted a bomb overnight that exploded 866 00:38:09,375 --> 00:38:10,375 next to the structure. 867 00:38:10,542 --> 00:38:12,333 Take a look at the security cam. 868 00:38:12,417 --> 00:38:13,333 It couldn't be more clear. 869 00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:17,792 Here we see the person moving in from the left, 870 00:38:17,917 --> 00:38:21,833 ducks in behind the monument, places something down, 871 00:38:21,917 --> 00:38:24,000 and then gets the hell out of there. 872 00:38:24,125 --> 00:38:27,167 Fast forward a couple of seconds later, boom. 873 00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:29,917 The structure remains standing in this footage, 874 00:38:30,042 --> 00:38:31,667 but it was so severely damaged 875 00:38:31,792 --> 00:38:34,125 that the whole thing had to be demolished. 876 00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:36,375 (tense music) 877 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,000 Anthropologist Kathy Strain examines 878 00:38:40,125 --> 00:38:42,167 if this could be a satanic altar. 879 00:38:42,333 --> 00:38:44,208 - I went and looked for satanic temples 880 00:38:44,375 --> 00:38:47,625 constructed in the United States, and I found one. 881 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:50,708 It's literally Satan sitting on a throne. 882 00:38:50,833 --> 00:38:53,208 And so there's nothing here that I see 883 00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:56,833 that would remind me of what I would traditionally 884 00:38:56,917 --> 00:38:59,875 associate with something satanic. 885 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,208 - [Tony] Archeologist Dr. Ed Barnhart agrees. 886 00:39:02,333 --> 00:39:07,333 - Satanism generally deals with the pentagram. 887 00:39:07,458 --> 00:39:10,208 The goat is also another symbol, 888 00:39:10,375 --> 00:39:11,667 but none of those symbols 889 00:39:11,833 --> 00:39:14,917 are anywhere on the Georgia Guidestones. 890 00:39:15,042 --> 00:39:16,167 - [Tony] So could this monument have been 891 00:39:16,292 --> 00:39:19,750 built by those calling for eugenics and racial purity?
