1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,500 - Tonight, on "The Proof Is Out There". 2 00:00:03,583 --> 00:00:05,917 Are UFOs attracted to lunar eclipses? 3 00:00:06,042 --> 00:00:09,083 - This is a phenomenon that has captivated humans 4 00:00:09,167 --> 00:00:11,292 going back centuries. 5 00:00:11,375 --> 00:00:13,750 - [Tony] Are goblins running around Kentucky? 6 00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:16,792 - This is a very creepy video and I've never seen anything 7 00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:18,083 quite like this before. 8 00:00:18,167 --> 00:00:20,083 - [Tony] Did the men in black make 9 00:00:20,167 --> 00:00:22,042 these mysterious phone calls? 10 00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:28,542 - [Tony] And did the passengers in this Jeep 11 00:00:28,625 --> 00:00:30,083 attract this lightning? 12 00:00:30,167 --> 00:00:33,750 - If that Jeep wasn't electric before, it is now. 13 00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:36,042 (dramatic music) 14 00:00:39,458 --> 00:00:41,375 - [Tony] Around the globe, are videos. 15 00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:42,958 - [Wtiness] What are those things? 16 00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:44,417 - [Wtiness] It's moving. 17 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,875 - [Tony] Photos and sounds that defy explanation. 18 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,458 (electrical whirring) 19 00:00:50,667 --> 00:00:53,042 (dramatic music) 20 00:00:53,125 --> 00:00:55,208 - [Erin] We don't know where they come from, 21 00:00:55,292 --> 00:00:56,750 who made them, or how they operate. 22 00:00:56,833 --> 00:00:57,958 - [Tony] What are they? 23 00:00:58,042 --> 00:00:59,708 - [MJ] Some sort of bizarre mutation. 24 00:00:59,792 --> 00:01:01,500 - [Marc] What's exciting is nobody really knows. 25 00:01:01,583 --> 00:01:04,750 - Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof. 26 00:01:06,875 --> 00:01:08,000 - I'm Tony Harris, 27 00:01:08,125 --> 00:01:10,250 and as a journalist for more than 30 years, 28 00:01:10,375 --> 00:01:13,167 I've followed the facts where they take me. 29 00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:15,458 Now, I'm bringing that spirit of investigation 30 00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:18,250 to the world's strangest sounds and images. 31 00:01:19,292 --> 00:01:21,083 We'll analyze each one with top experts. 32 00:01:21,167 --> 00:01:22,333 (car thudding) 33 00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:23,625 - It's a credible case. 34 00:01:23,708 --> 00:01:25,292 It's a credible video. 35 00:01:25,375 --> 00:01:27,917 - [Tony] And pass a verdict on what it is. 36 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 - This video was clearly faked. 37 00:01:30,042 --> 00:01:32,042 - The proof starts now. 38 00:01:32,167 --> 00:01:34,417 (dramatic music) 39 00:01:39,875 --> 00:01:43,208 Good evening and welcome to "The Proof Is Out There." 40 00:01:43,292 --> 00:01:45,042 Each time there's a lunar eclipse, 41 00:01:45,125 --> 00:01:48,250 reports of UFO sightings seem to spike. 42 00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:50,833 Are aliens drawn to the Moon as it passes 43 00:01:50,875 --> 00:01:52,625 through the Earth's shadow? 44 00:01:52,708 --> 00:01:55,333 Or is it just that more people are looking towards the sky 45 00:01:55,417 --> 00:01:57,667 during these astronomical events? 46 00:01:57,708 --> 00:01:59,750 Take a look at these next photos, sent in 47 00:01:59,833 --> 00:02:02,667 by two of our viewers and see what you think. 48 00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:07,042 It's May 2022 in Carbondale, Colorado. 49 00:02:07,167 --> 00:02:09,167 Local resident Richard Wampler has set up 50 00:02:09,292 --> 00:02:12,958 his telephoto camera on the top of a nearby hillside 51 00:02:13,042 --> 00:02:15,708 to observe a total lunar eclipse. 52 00:02:15,833 --> 00:02:18,667 - So as I was looking through the viewfinder, 53 00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:20,667 suddenly I saw a green light 54 00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:22,417 come into the picture 55 00:02:22,542 --> 00:02:25,083 and start moving fast across the screen. 56 00:02:25,167 --> 00:02:26,833 - [Tony] Take a closer look. 57 00:02:26,958 --> 00:02:28,292 Just after the eclipse, 58 00:02:28,417 --> 00:02:30,625 Richard captured a series of five photos 59 00:02:30,708 --> 00:02:33,333 showing a long, green object approaching 60 00:02:33,417 --> 00:02:35,250 and then seemingly passing the Moon 61 00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:36,958 in only a matter of seconds. 62 00:02:37,042 --> 00:02:40,125 - Who knows what it is, but this is really quite unique 63 00:02:40,208 --> 00:02:42,833 because of its elongated size. 64 00:02:42,875 --> 00:02:44,792 - [Tony] Richard isn't the only one of our viewers 65 00:02:44,875 --> 00:02:48,000 who's gotten photos of an anomaly during a lunar eclipse. 66 00:02:48,083 --> 00:02:50,542 During the eclipse of September 2015, 67 00:02:50,625 --> 00:02:53,375 Paul Garson snapped this pic of a V shape 68 00:02:53,458 --> 00:02:55,250 in the skies over Los Angeles. 69 00:02:56,458 --> 00:02:59,667 - As I look up, I see this cloud, then suddenly, 70 00:02:59,750 --> 00:03:03,167 the cloud dispersed and emerging from the cloud 71 00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:06,833 was this object, slowly gliding through the air 72 00:03:06,875 --> 00:03:08,083 without a sound. 73 00:03:08,167 --> 00:03:09,458 - [Tony] If that wasn't strange enough, 74 00:03:09,542 --> 00:03:12,500 there's this odd, laser-like line seeming to shoot 75 00:03:12,583 --> 00:03:13,875 at the craft. 76 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,625 - In my opinion, it was one of our Star Wars satellites 77 00:03:17,708 --> 00:03:19,875 firing a laser at it. 78 00:03:19,958 --> 00:03:22,375 - [Tony] As for why Richard and Paul happened to see 79 00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,750 what they saw, one theory involves a web of lines 80 00:03:24,833 --> 00:03:27,333 that crisscross the globe connecting ancient markers 81 00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:29,667 like Stonehenge or the Great Pyramids. 82 00:03:30,708 --> 00:03:34,083 Some argue that these ley lines connecting these monuments 83 00:03:34,167 --> 00:03:36,375 contain rivers of supernatural energy 84 00:03:36,458 --> 00:03:40,042 that can attract phenomenon from spirits to Sasquatch. 85 00:03:40,125 --> 00:03:44,750 And as science writer Amy Teitel points out, even aliens. 86 00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,000 - Some believe that if you live on one 87 00:03:47,083 --> 00:03:48,333 of the Earth's ley lines, 88 00:03:48,417 --> 00:03:50,708 there's an increase in electromagnetic energy 89 00:03:50,833 --> 00:03:55,417 during an eclipse, which can be a boost for alien sightings. 90 00:03:55,542 --> 00:03:58,083 - At least one purported ley line map shows 91 00:03:58,167 --> 00:04:00,000 an intersection of several ley lines 92 00:04:00,083 --> 00:04:02,125 west of Denver, Colorado, 93 00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:04,333 close to where Richard Wampler took his photo. 94 00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:09,458 The belief that eclipses hold unique power is nothing new. 95 00:04:09,542 --> 00:04:12,750 Some Indigenous tribes believe that eclipses bring bad luck 96 00:04:12,833 --> 00:04:16,333 and can even hurt the unborn children of pregnant women. 97 00:04:16,417 --> 00:04:19,167 But do eclipses really attract UFOs? 98 00:04:19,208 --> 00:04:20,792 Let's see what our experts have to say 99 00:04:20,875 --> 00:04:22,833 about all these sightings. 100 00:04:22,917 --> 00:04:24,958 (tense music) 101 00:04:27,167 --> 00:04:29,083 Richard Hoffman of the Scientific Coalition 102 00:04:29,167 --> 00:04:32,250 for UAP Studies starts with our LA photo. 103 00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:35,167 Does its distinctive shape resemble known aircraft? 104 00:04:35,250 --> 00:04:36,417 - There are aircraft 105 00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,875 that we have in development, like the F-117, 106 00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:40,167 that are basically V-shaped, 107 00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:43,292 but the size of it would be enormous. 108 00:04:43,375 --> 00:04:45,667 And I do not think that we have any aircraft 109 00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:48,708 that are miles long that would be up there 110 00:04:48,792 --> 00:04:50,542 and contriving this. 111 00:04:50,625 --> 00:04:52,667 - [Tony] But Hoffman thinks this does have something 112 00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:56,250 to do with an airplane, or even multiple planes. 113 00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:57,667 - It looks like you have aircraft, 114 00:04:57,750 --> 00:05:00,750 and they create what they call a canal cloud. 115 00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:03,625 - [Tony] Canal clouds, also called hole-punch clouds, 116 00:05:03,708 --> 00:05:06,000 can form when a plane punches through a layer 117 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,333 of altocumulus clouds, causing super cooled water droplets 118 00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:12,000 to suddenly evaporate or form ice crystals 119 00:05:12,042 --> 00:05:15,792 leaving strange shapes, sometimes mistaken for UFOs. 120 00:05:17,375 --> 00:05:19,625 - And then the laser-like thing is nothing more 121 00:05:19,708 --> 00:05:23,375 than a contrail at a higher altitude from another aircraft 122 00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:25,708 that was heading generally in the same direction. 123 00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,500 - [Tony] Okay, so if two cloud-busting planes 124 00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:30,417 could've produced the LA photos, 125 00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:31,708 what about Richard's photos 126 00:05:31,792 --> 00:05:33,875 of that green streak in Colorado? 127 00:05:33,958 --> 00:05:36,875 Could it be something as simple as a satellite? 128 00:05:36,958 --> 00:05:39,833 Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy thinks the eclipse 129 00:05:39,958 --> 00:05:41,167 makes that unlikely. 130 00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:43,500 - Our sky is filled with satellites, 131 00:05:43,583 --> 00:05:45,833 and one thing they all have in common 132 00:05:45,917 --> 00:05:49,250 is they don't tend to emit their own light. 133 00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:51,292 They're reflecting sunlight right back down 134 00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:52,417 to the observer. 135 00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:54,042 Now, during a lunar eclipse, 136 00:05:54,125 --> 00:05:57,875 the shadow of Earth is projected right towards the Moon. 137 00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:01,000 So any satellite that would be in between us and the Moon 138 00:06:01,083 --> 00:06:03,583 would also be in Earth's shadow. 139 00:06:03,708 --> 00:06:05,458 - [Tony] So since a satellite wouldn't be visible 140 00:06:05,542 --> 00:06:06,875 during an eclipse, 141 00:06:06,958 --> 00:06:09,542 could this be some other passing space object 142 00:06:09,625 --> 00:06:11,625 like a comet or asteroid? 143 00:06:11,708 --> 00:06:14,708 Astronomer and video analyst Marc D'Antonio examines. 144 00:06:14,792 --> 00:06:17,917 - In astronomy, there are extraterrestrial interlopers, 145 00:06:18,042 --> 00:06:19,833 meaning comets and asteroids, 146 00:06:19,958 --> 00:06:24,125 but this is moving too fast to be any kind of a comet. 147 00:06:24,208 --> 00:06:26,000 Meteors are fairly quick. 148 00:06:26,083 --> 00:06:29,292 However, the streaks of light would be very bright, 149 00:06:29,375 --> 00:06:31,625 and there would be this flare at the end. 150 00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:33,708 - [Tony] McCarthy thinks he might've cracked this case 151 00:06:33,792 --> 00:06:36,833 by drawing a straight line from the photographer's location 152 00:06:36,917 --> 00:06:38,000 to the Moon itself. 153 00:06:38,042 --> 00:06:40,167 - There's a few things that I know specifically 154 00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:42,792 about this photo: where it was taken, when it was taken, 155 00:06:42,875 --> 00:06:45,167 and what the Moon was doing at that time. 156 00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:48,125 I was able to figure out that the camera was pointed 157 00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:52,583 almost perfectly southeast at 14 degrees above the horizon. 158 00:06:52,667 --> 00:06:55,583 I looked on some tracking software to figure out 159 00:06:55,667 --> 00:06:57,625 what flights were doing in that area, 160 00:06:57,708 --> 00:07:02,000 and I figured out it was United Airlines flight 2649, 161 00:07:02,083 --> 00:07:03,833 Chicago to LAX. 162 00:07:03,875 --> 00:07:07,125 It was about 35 kilometers away from the observer 163 00:07:07,208 --> 00:07:08,500 at the time. 164 00:07:08,583 --> 00:07:10,792 On the right-hand wing of the plane, 165 00:07:10,875 --> 00:07:13,917 we were seeing the green light on the wingtip. 166 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,792 - [Tony] The green light became elongated 167 00:07:15,875 --> 00:07:18,958 because of the slower shutter speed required at low light, 168 00:07:19,042 --> 00:07:22,208 just like these photos of headlights taken at night. 169 00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:23,833 - It was shot during low light, 170 00:07:23,917 --> 00:07:26,833 hence why there's a little bit of motion blur. 171 00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:28,875 (tense music) 172 00:07:30,542 --> 00:07:33,250 - Our verdict: both of these lunar eclipse anomalies 173 00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:35,583 can be blamed on planes. 174 00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:38,417 The mysterious V shape is a cloud canal created 175 00:07:38,417 --> 00:07:40,250 by intersecting contrails. 176 00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:44,000 The green streak is a plane with a green light on the wing. 177 00:07:44,083 --> 00:07:46,333 But if you capture anything cool in the midst 178 00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:49,083 of an eclipse, be sure to send it our way. 179 00:07:50,417 --> 00:07:53,125 Next, we head to the great state of Kentucky, 180 00:07:53,208 --> 00:07:57,958 known for its horse racing, its bourbon, and its barbecue. 181 00:07:58,042 --> 00:07:59,833 But it's also becoming quite famous 182 00:07:59,917 --> 00:08:04,333 for its frequent sightings of both UFOs and goblins. 183 00:08:04,375 --> 00:08:07,292 As our next story shows, there's something strange happening 184 00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:08,792 in the Bluegrass State. 185 00:08:09,792 --> 00:08:12,208 July 5, 2022, Morehead, Kentucky, 186 00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:14,625 65 miles west of Lexington. 187 00:08:14,625 --> 00:08:17,042 A warm summer's day turns to night in the backyard 188 00:08:17,167 --> 00:08:19,125 of Douglas Windsor McLoney III. 189 00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:22,125 Doug's security cameras are on duty when they capture this. 190 00:08:23,708 --> 00:08:25,833 A mysterious pale figure appears. 191 00:08:25,917 --> 00:08:28,833 It's lanky, yet hunched and lurking near the back garden 192 00:08:28,958 --> 00:08:30,167 of a home. 193 00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:32,083 The figure moves slowly, carefully, 194 00:08:32,083 --> 00:08:34,333 as it seemingly looks around while approaching 195 00:08:34,417 --> 00:08:36,125 the owner's car. 196 00:08:36,208 --> 00:08:38,500 Field researcher Ken Gerhard sheds some light 197 00:08:38,625 --> 00:08:40,792 on this creeptastic footage. 198 00:08:40,875 --> 00:08:44,667 - Now, it's worth noting that the town of Morehead, Kentucky 199 00:08:44,708 --> 00:08:47,208 is certainly no stranger to close encounters. 200 00:08:47,292 --> 00:08:50,333 In November 21, 2003, 201 00:08:50,417 --> 00:08:52,500 a local psychologist named Virgil Davis, 202 00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:54,792 along with his two teenage sons, 203 00:08:54,875 --> 00:08:57,833 were driving near their home in Morehead, Kentucky 204 00:08:57,875 --> 00:09:01,917 when they saw this strange glowing object in the sky. 205 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,292 And according to the eyewitnesses, 206 00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:06,458 this thing actually descended into a nearby field. 207 00:09:06,542 --> 00:09:08,958 When the two Davis boys went out to investigate, 208 00:09:09,042 --> 00:09:11,625 they heard sounds of a woman screaming. 209 00:09:12,958 --> 00:09:15,917 Like a woman being, in their words, ripped apart, 210 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,667 which prompted them to make a 911 call. 211 00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:20,167 - [Tony] After that 911 call, 212 00:09:20,208 --> 00:09:22,750 local law enforcement officers swarmed the area. 213 00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:26,000 They found no sign of any woman or a UFO, for that matter, 214 00:09:26,042 --> 00:09:28,417 but the strange events didn't end there. 215 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:30,167 - So a few weeks after this incident, 216 00:09:30,292 --> 00:09:34,000 a crop circle was found about 45 miles south of Morehead. 217 00:09:34,083 --> 00:09:35,667 Based on this additional information, 218 00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,000 is it reasonable to assume 219 00:09:37,125 --> 00:09:39,875 that a woman was actually abducted by aliens 220 00:09:39,958 --> 00:09:42,667 and that's what these boys heard when she was screaming? 221 00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:46,167 And if so, could we connect it to this strange video? 222 00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:48,208 - [Tony] For Gerhard, this ghostly gremlin 223 00:09:48,208 --> 00:09:51,250 also reminds him of the state's most infamous cryptids, 224 00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:54,625 the Kentucky goblins, which trace back to a famous incident 225 00:09:54,750 --> 00:09:57,625 on the Sutton Farm near Hopkinsville in 1955. 226 00:09:58,625 --> 00:10:00,667 - According to several eyewitnesses, 227 00:10:00,792 --> 00:10:04,542 these strange, short-statured, silvery, humanoid creatures 228 00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:05,875 appeared on the scene, 229 00:10:06,042 --> 00:10:07,875 very similar to what we're seeing in this video. 230 00:10:07,958 --> 00:10:10,917 The Sutton family actually blasted one of these goblins 231 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,042 in the face with a shotgun from point blank range 232 00:10:14,125 --> 00:10:16,333 (gun firing) with literally no effect. 233 00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:17,833 - [Tony] Now, the Hopkinsville goblins 234 00:10:17,875 --> 00:10:20,250 were allegedly connected to a UFO sighting. 235 00:10:20,375 --> 00:10:23,333 In fact, many speculate they could be members of the Grays, 236 00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:26,375 the widely reported humanoid aliens made famous 237 00:10:26,458 --> 00:10:28,292 by incidents like Roswell. 238 00:10:28,292 --> 00:10:31,250 But others suggest Kentucky's goblins don't come 239 00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:35,250 from the skies above, but from deep under the ground. 240 00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:37,833 - [Ken] Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky boasts one 241 00:10:37,917 --> 00:10:40,958 of the largest cave systems in the country, 242 00:10:41,042 --> 00:10:44,833 and it has been speculated that these goblin-like creatures 243 00:10:44,917 --> 00:10:46,875 came from deep in the Earth. 244 00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:50,167 - As you can see, 245 00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:52,417 the body of this creature is very humanoid. 246 00:10:52,542 --> 00:10:55,875 But when it gets close to these parked vehicles right here, 247 00:10:55,958 --> 00:10:59,250 take a look, it appears to be much smaller in scale 248 00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:00,500 than your average person. 249 00:11:00,542 --> 00:11:03,417 One could even say it is goblin-sized. 250 00:11:03,542 --> 00:11:05,125 Let's see what our experts think. 251 00:11:05,208 --> 00:11:07,292 (tense music) 252 00:11:08,875 --> 00:11:10,667 Biologist Stephanie Manka explores 253 00:11:10,750 --> 00:11:12,417 the underground goblin theory. 254 00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:17,083 - Animals that have adapted to live exclusively in caves, 255 00:11:17,167 --> 00:11:19,833 they don't need to produce pigmentation 256 00:11:19,917 --> 00:11:21,833 to protect themselves from the sun, 257 00:11:21,958 --> 00:11:25,167 so they will often be light or white colored, 258 00:11:25,208 --> 00:11:28,208 which is what we see here in this video. 259 00:11:28,292 --> 00:11:31,042 - [Tony] Cave dwellers like the Texas blind salamander 260 00:11:31,125 --> 00:11:34,500 and the eyeless olm all share the same similar white color 261 00:11:34,583 --> 00:11:36,750 Manka describes, but for Manka, 262 00:11:36,833 --> 00:11:39,292 the body structure of this creature kills the idea 263 00:11:39,375 --> 00:11:41,875 that it's some sort of spelunking goblin. 264 00:11:41,958 --> 00:11:45,292 - If this were a cave-dwelling animal, 265 00:11:45,375 --> 00:11:51,125 like a goblin, we would expect it to be on four legs 266 00:11:51,208 --> 00:11:54,417 to be able to get into smaller spaces. 267 00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:55,917 It doesn't really make sense to me 268 00:11:56,042 --> 00:11:58,250 that a being in a cave would've evolved 269 00:11:58,333 --> 00:12:01,125 to walk on two legs. 270 00:12:01,125 --> 00:12:03,000 - [Tony] Anatomist Jeff Meldrum tries to determine 271 00:12:03,083 --> 00:12:06,042 if this tiny driveway demon could possibly originate 272 00:12:06,042 --> 00:12:07,083 from off-world. 273 00:12:07,167 --> 00:12:09,792 - It looks otherworldly on the basis 274 00:12:09,875 --> 00:12:12,042 of the very uniform appearance 275 00:12:12,125 --> 00:12:13,958 of its coloration, its texture. 276 00:12:14,042 --> 00:12:16,500 It has very spindly appendages, 277 00:12:16,583 --> 00:12:19,500 very narrow arms and legs. 278 00:12:19,583 --> 00:12:25,500 I don't immediately see any definition of hands or feet. 279 00:12:25,542 --> 00:12:28,000 - [Tony] While the creature is undeniably strange-looking, 280 00:12:28,083 --> 00:12:30,000 Meldrum doesn't think it fits the profile 281 00:12:30,042 --> 00:12:32,958 of the Sutton Farm invaders or the Grays. 282 00:12:33,042 --> 00:12:36,500 - I've never seen an eyewitness depiction of a Gray 283 00:12:36,583 --> 00:12:41,125 describe that posture, this crouching, skulking figure. 284 00:12:41,208 --> 00:12:45,083 Its head-to-body proportions aren't in line 285 00:12:45,083 --> 00:12:47,667 with that stereotypical image, you know? 286 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:50,958 It's not beyond the realm in my mind of a person 287 00:12:51,042 --> 00:12:52,833 in some sort of a costume. 288 00:12:52,958 --> 00:12:56,667 The limb proportions don't seem to be out of the range 289 00:12:56,750 --> 00:12:58,500 of possibility for a human. 290 00:12:58,542 --> 00:13:02,292 I would investigate with people much more knowledgeable 291 00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:06,167 about the technical aspects of that sort of a video. 292 00:13:06,208 --> 00:13:08,417 - [Tony] So that's exactly what we did 293 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:09,833 by taking this video 294 00:13:09,958 --> 00:13:12,375 to our forensic video analyst, Michael Primeau. 295 00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:15,667 - So this video is a camera recording the playback 296 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:17,125 from another source. 297 00:13:17,208 --> 00:13:19,917 Digitally, this is a completely different format 298 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000 than what was originally recorded 299 00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:22,500 by the surveillance system. 300 00:13:22,583 --> 00:13:24,833 So is this an authentic video? 301 00:13:24,917 --> 00:13:26,292 It's inconclusive. 302 00:13:26,417 --> 00:13:28,458 We don't have any original properties about the video. 303 00:13:28,542 --> 00:13:31,458 And whether or not it's some sort of extraterrestrial 304 00:13:31,542 --> 00:13:34,208 is difficult to say because it could be something 305 00:13:34,292 --> 00:13:38,417 that's staged, and in an effort to conceal that information, 306 00:13:38,542 --> 00:13:40,333 the operator simply made a video of video 307 00:13:40,417 --> 00:13:43,333 to try to hide the effect that that had on the camera. 308 00:13:44,708 --> 00:13:46,917 (tense music) 309 00:13:48,542 --> 00:13:52,375 - Our verdict: we're calling this an unidentified creature. 310 00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:54,042 It certainly could be a hoax, 311 00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:56,417 but without more data about the footage, 312 00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,667 our forensic video analyst couldn't say for sure. 313 00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:01,042 But I gotta say, Kentucky, 314 00:14:01,125 --> 00:14:04,125 goblins, aliens, and bourbon? 315 00:14:04,208 --> 00:14:08,042 We couldn't do the show without them. 316 00:14:08,042 --> 00:14:09,458 y, 317 00:14:09,583 --> 00:14:12,917 you can expect to see between two and seven streaks of light 318 00:14:13,042 --> 00:14:16,792 go by each hour on any night of the year. 319 00:14:16,875 --> 00:14:18,833 These flashes are meteorites burning up 320 00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:20,750 in the Earth's atmosphere. 321 00:14:20,833 --> 00:14:23,417 But there are some who believe that in reality, 322 00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,833 these meteorites are more than they seem to be. 323 00:14:27,792 --> 00:14:30,000 August 31, 2019. 324 00:14:30,042 --> 00:14:33,583 It's 10:30 p.m. just outside the city of Edmonton, Canada. 325 00:14:33,667 --> 00:14:35,833 Lincoln Ho is hanging out at a neighbor's house 326 00:14:35,917 --> 00:14:38,708 watching TV when he sees a bright light flash 327 00:14:38,792 --> 00:14:39,833 outside the window. 328 00:14:40,833 --> 00:14:42,000 Lincoln later goes home 329 00:14:42,042 --> 00:14:44,208 and checks his driveway security footage, 330 00:14:44,292 --> 00:14:46,792 and that's when he finds this: 331 00:14:46,917 --> 00:14:49,708 an orb of light screams from the top of the frame, 332 00:14:49,833 --> 00:14:52,000 plummeting toward the house before vanishing. 333 00:14:53,042 --> 00:14:54,667 According to journalist MJ Banias, 334 00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,875 while this phenomenon seems to have all 335 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,875 of the hallmarks of a meteor strike, 336 00:14:58,958 --> 00:15:00,667 one thing is missing. 337 00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:03,542 -

Loeb theorizes that pieces of the debris will be found 368 00:16:21,083 --> 00:16:23,583 to be tougher than iron and should raise questions. 369 00:16:23,667 --> 00:16:26,208 Could it be some type of an extraterrestrial craft 370 00:16:26,375 --> 00:16:27,958 and not just a meteorite? 371 00:16:28,042 --> 00:16:30,542 - Upon sifting microscopic metallic balls 372 00:16:30,625 --> 00:16:33,292 from the volcanic material on the ocean floor, 373 00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:37,042 Loeb declared them actual evidence of alien tech. 374 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,417 If Avi Loeb's theory is correct, 375 00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:45,000 it would be the monumental discovery of all time. 376 00:16:45,083 --> 00:16:47,292 And it might not be that far-fetched. 377 00:16:47,375 --> 00:16:49,500 One recent study put the odds of other life 378 00:16:49,583 --> 00:16:52,333 in the universe at 50/50. 379 00:16:52,375 --> 00:16:55,250 But is this object an interstellar vehicle disguised 380 00:16:55,333 --> 00:16:58,375 as a meteor or something else entirely? 381 00:16:58,458 --> 00:17:01,292 We asked our team of experts to investigate. 382 00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:03,500 (tense music) 383 00:17:04,875 --> 00:17:06,375 We begin with video effects designer 384 00:17:06,458 --> 00:17:08,458 and astronomer Marc D'Antonio. 385 00:17:08,542 --> 00:17:11,167 Could this bright light simply be something conventional, 386 00:17:11,208 --> 00:17:13,000 seen in the skies over cities every night, 387 00:17:13,083 --> 00:17:15,167 like a helicopter or a plane? 388 00:17:15,208 --> 00:17:17,917 - The only time that you would see an aircraft 389 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,125 of any kind, a helicopter, that bright, 390 00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:22,917 moving through the sky that fast as if it's in serious trouble 391 00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:24,542 and about to crash. 392 00:17:24,625 --> 00:17:27,167 - [Tony] No chopper crashes were reported in that area. 393 00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:30,500 Instead, D'Antonio believes a clue in the video leads 394 00:17:30,542 --> 00:17:31,583 to the answer. 395 00:17:31,667 --> 00:17:34,250 - The sky's illuminated behind this house here, 396 00:17:34,333 --> 00:17:35,750 which tells you something important. 397 00:17:35,833 --> 00:17:38,208 That's saying that this is an object that's big enough 398 00:17:38,292 --> 00:17:40,458 to be beyond these houses, 399 00:17:40,542 --> 00:17:43,500 'cause it's illuminating the sky behind them. 400 00:17:43,583 --> 00:17:47,042 And what could possibly be natural that looks like that? 401 00:17:47,125 --> 00:17:50,625 Something that we call in astronomy a fireball. 402 00:17:50,708 --> 00:17:53,458 - [Tony] Fireballs refer to meteors so bright 403 00:17:53,542 --> 00:17:55,667 they can be seen over great distances. 404 00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:58,500 The intense atmospheric friction causes gases 405 00:17:58,542 --> 00:18:01,000 around the meteor to compress and superheat, 406 00:18:01,083 --> 00:18:02,625 often disintegrating the meteor 407 00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:05,083 and leaving little evidence on ground. 408 00:18:05,167 --> 00:18:07,167 - Regular typical meteor you see in the night sky, 409 00:18:07,208 --> 00:18:09,333 the quick flash, whew, those are the size 410 00:18:09,333 --> 00:18:10,750 of a grain of sand. 411 00:18:10,875 --> 00:18:14,292 And so this is way bigger than a grain of sand. 412 00:18:14,375 --> 00:18:17,417 So you can imagine that the glow created by this 413 00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:20,667 is gonna be absolutely colossal. 414 00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:22,667 - [Tony] D'Antonio makes a convincing argument 415 00:18:22,708 --> 00:18:25,208 and one that NASA geologist Bob Anderson agrees 416 00:18:25,292 --> 00:18:27,500 seems likely, at first. 417 00:18:27,583 --> 00:18:29,458 - When I first looked at this video, 418 00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:31,792 it was almost a dead giveaway that it was a meteor 419 00:18:31,875 --> 00:18:33,292 and it was coming down. 420 00:18:33,417 --> 00:18:36,167 But it's weird to me that there was no sonic boom. 421 00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:38,458 The size of this object, the brightness of this object 422 00:18:38,542 --> 00:18:41,333 would've created a sonic boom somewhere in the atmosphere. 423 00:18:43,542 --> 00:18:45,542 (tense music) 424 00:18:47,375 --> 00:18:50,750 - Our verdict: we're going with unexplained phenomenon. 425 00:18:50,875 --> 00:18:53,167 While our experts have suggested some very interesting 426 00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:54,917 and plausible candidates, 427 00:18:55,042 --> 00:18:56,208 there seems to be a heated debate 428 00:18:56,292 --> 00:18:58,667 about what we've really got. 429 00:18:58,708 --> 00:19:00,000 So without a smoking gun, 430 00:19:00,042 --> 00:19:02,000 we're going to say for now, 431 00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:04,250 this incident remains a mystery. 432 00:19:04,333 --> 00:19:05,667 But what do you think? 433 00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:08,125 Hit us up on social media and let us know. 434 00:19:12,083 --> 00:19:13,667 electric vehicles these days, 435 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:16,167 but not the model you're about to see. 436 00:19:16,208 --> 00:19:18,125 Prepare to be shocked. 437 00:19:19,208 --> 00:19:23,292 It's June 25, 2021, just north of Waverly, Kansas. 438 00:19:23,375 --> 00:19:25,250 Severe thunderstorms and flash flood warnings 439 00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:26,375 have been issued for the area, 440 00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,708 and Carl Hobi is on the hunt. 441 00:19:28,792 --> 00:19:30,542 - I am a storm chaser 442 00:19:30,625 --> 00:19:33,083 and I always have a dash cam on my vehicle, 443 00:19:33,167 --> 00:19:35,042 so I was recording. 444 00:19:35,167 --> 00:19:37,250 - [Tony] His video shows a line of cars 445 00:19:37,375 --> 00:19:39,583 slowly approaching a rainy intersection, 446 00:19:39,667 --> 00:19:42,708 then out of nowhere, a bolt of lighting strikes the Jeep 447 00:19:42,875 --> 00:19:43,875 right in front of Carl. 448 00:19:43,958 --> 00:19:45,792 (lightning cracking) 449 00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:47,417 Let's slow that down. 450 00:19:48,542 --> 00:19:51,250 It appears that two massive pulses blast 451 00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:52,583 straight though the vehicle, 452 00:19:52,667 --> 00:19:54,875 reaching as far as the grassy shoulder. 453 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,917 - I just kinda froze. 454 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,500 I just kinda sat there 455 00:19:57,542 --> 00:19:59,708 and I'm wondering if these people are, you know, 456 00:19:59,833 --> 00:20:01,333 dead or not. 457 00:20:01,375 --> 00:20:04,167 - [Tony] Miraculously, the car is left in one piece. 458 00:20:04,208 --> 00:20:06,000 But what about the family inside? 459 00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:07,708 - Some of the effects that can be caused 460 00:20:07,792 --> 00:20:10,667 by a lighting strike include severe burns, 461 00:20:10,708 --> 00:20:13,458 cardiac arrest, strokes, 462 00:20:13,458 --> 00:20:15,458 and very often, death. 463 00:20:15,542 --> 00:20:17,417 (monitor flat-lining) 464 00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:21,167 Yet somehow, the passengers inside of this SUV survived 465 00:20:21,250 --> 00:20:24,000 not one, but two lightning strikes. 466 00:20:24,042 --> 00:20:25,833 So how is that possible? 467 00:20:25,917 --> 00:20:28,292 - [Tony] And why did the lightning strike this car 468 00:20:28,375 --> 00:20:29,875 twice, no less? 469 00:20:29,958 --> 00:20:31,833 (lightning cracking) 470 00:20:31,875 --> 00:20:32,750 Could the people themselves- 471 00:20:32,833 --> 00:20:34,042 (lightning cracking) (woman screaming) 472 00:20:34,125 --> 00:20:35,750 Have acted as a lightning rod? 473 00:20:35,833 --> 00:20:37,833 (lightning cracking) (woman screaming) 474 00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:42,708 (lightning cracking) 475 00:20:47,125 --> 00:20:48,833 - Some people actually are more prone 476 00:20:48,875 --> 00:20:51,625 to being struck by lightning than your average person. 477 00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:55,500 One very famous example was the park ranger Roy Sullivan, 478 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:59,250 or as he came to be known, the Spark Ranger. 479 00:20:59,375 --> 00:21:00,875 - [Tony] Sullivan was hit by lightning 480 00:21:00,958 --> 00:21:03,375 an astounding seven times, 481 00:21:03,458 --> 00:21:05,458 once while he was driving in his car 482 00:21:05,542 --> 00:21:08,083 and twice was when he was trying to outrun a storm, 483 00:21:08,167 --> 00:21:11,458 leading him to believe lightning was almost chasing him. 484 00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:12,875 - The question to ask is, 485 00:21:13,917 --> 00:21:15,500 Why him? 486 00:21:15,542 --> 00:21:18,417 - Some speculate that having a high iron content 487 00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,333 in your blood can make you more susceptible to lightning, 488 00:21:21,417 --> 00:21:23,250 since metal is conductive. 489 00:21:23,375 --> 00:21:24,958 Could that be the case here? 490 00:21:25,042 --> 00:21:26,750 (lightning cracking) 491 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,500 We haven't been able to contact the people in the car hit 492 00:21:30,583 --> 00:21:32,375 by lightning, so we weren't able 493 00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,125 to hear their side of the story. 494 00:21:34,208 --> 00:21:35,833 Instead, we turned to our experts 495 00:21:35,875 --> 00:21:39,833 to see if people truly can be lightning rods. 496 00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:42,042 (tense music) 497 00:21:43,458 --> 00:21:45,708 We start by asking meteorologist Juan Hernandez 498 00:21:45,833 --> 00:21:48,583 what typically happens to people who survive lightning strikes. 499 00:21:48,667 --> 00:21:51,250 - Usually, when lightning strikes a person, 500 00:21:51,333 --> 00:21:54,125 it results in shoes getting blown off 501 00:21:54,208 --> 00:21:56,208 or jewelry getting soldered together. 502 00:21:56,292 --> 00:21:58,167 Now, a less common occurrence is what we call 503 00:21:58,208 --> 00:21:59,667 a Lichtenberg figure. 504 00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:03,417 Oftentimes it looks like roots that have been implanted 505 00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,500 into the skin of the person. 506 00:22:06,542 --> 00:22:09,333 - [Tony] But do some individuals actually attract lightning? 507 00:22:09,417 --> 00:22:10,667 (lightning cracking) (woman screaming) 508 00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:13,333 Why was ranger Roy such a target? 509 00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:15,333 Scientists don't believe his iron levels 510 00:22:15,375 --> 00:22:16,542 would make a difference, 511 00:22:16,625 --> 00:22:18,583 since the iron in blood is bonded 512 00:22:18,667 --> 00:22:22,833 inside hemoglobin molecules that don't conduct electricity. 513 00:22:22,958 --> 00:22:24,375 (lightning cracking) 514 00:22:24,458 --> 00:22:29,542 Hernandez suggests it's a matter of vocation and location. 515 00:22:29,667 --> 00:22:32,750 - He was a park ranger out in Shenandoah National Park. 516 00:22:32,875 --> 00:22:35,042 And that put him outdoors quite a bit. 517 00:22:35,125 --> 00:22:36,292 When you're outdoors, you're at risk 518 00:22:36,375 --> 00:22:37,833 of getting struck by lightning. 519 00:22:37,875 --> 00:22:41,667 Now, the park gets about 35 to 45 thunderstorms per year. 520 00:22:42,917 --> 00:22:44,833 - [Tony] In addition to living in a very stormy region, 521 00:22:44,875 --> 00:22:47,750 Sullivan sometimes worked in an elevated fire tower, 522 00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:49,375 which is where he was officially struck 523 00:22:49,458 --> 00:22:52,000 for the first time while fleeing a lightning fire 524 00:22:52,083 --> 00:22:53,000 in the structure. 525 00:22:54,417 --> 00:22:56,958 And as for this family in the electric vehicle, 526 00:22:57,042 --> 00:22:59,667 in this case, Hernandez says the lightning was drawn 527 00:22:59,708 --> 00:23:02,083 to this vehicle instead of the taller trees around it 528 00:23:02,167 --> 00:23:04,500 for a simple reason: conductivity. 529 00:23:04,542 --> 00:23:07,500 - Wood is not as conductive as metal. 530 00:23:07,542 --> 00:23:11,000 So lightning is highly more likely 531 00:23:11,083 --> 00:23:14,792 to hit a car versus a wood tree in this case. 532 00:23:14,875 --> 00:23:16,500 - [Tony] As for what happened to the family, 533 00:23:16,583 --> 00:23:18,375 the answer is one of those quirks of physics 534 00:23:18,458 --> 00:23:20,625 we love so much on this show. 535 00:23:20,708 --> 00:23:25,833 -

Our verdict: this lightning strike 554 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,417 was a natural phenomenon, albeit a terrifying one. 555 00:24:16,542 --> 00:24:17,833 And as for the family inside, 556 00:24:17,958 --> 00:24:20,625 we can say they all survived with no major injuries, 557 00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:22,833 thanks to the Faraday cage effect. 558 00:24:22,917 --> 00:24:27,292 We just hope there aren't more Spark Rangers. 559 00:24:27,292 --> 00:24:30,333 k" 560 00:24:30,375 --> 00:24:32,917 cemented actor Will Smith's status 561 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,792 as a global superstar. 562 00:24:34,875 --> 00:24:38,458 But tales of real-life men in black go back decades. 563 00:24:38,542 --> 00:24:41,750 Most evidence of their existence is just anecdotal, 564 00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:43,958 but one of our viewers says he's not only spoken 565 00:24:44,042 --> 00:24:47,000 to the men in black; he's got them on tape. 566 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,958 Take a listen. 567 00:24:49,042 --> 00:24:52,083 It's February 8, 1993 in Long Island, New York. 568 00:24:52,167 --> 00:24:54,667 Pharmacist Gary Sudbrink has come all the way from Texas 569 00:24:54,708 --> 00:24:55,958 to visit his parents. 570 00:24:56,042 --> 00:24:58,125 A call comes through on the house landline. 571 00:24:58,208 --> 00:25:01,125 Gary answers it and what he hears frightens him. 572 00:25:05,542 --> 00:25:06,708 -

[Tony] Gary says these couldn't have been wrong numbers 586 00:26:09,292 --> 00:26:10,667 or random prank calls 587 00:26:10,750 --> 00:26:12,875 because the voice knew personal information about him, 588 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000 like the fact he was visiting from Texas. 589 00:26:15,042 --> 00:26:17,708 He developed a theory that seems far out. 590 00:26:17,833 --> 00:26:19,792 - I had no idea who was calling me 591 00:26:19,792 --> 00:26:22,583 or what entity was calling, but it wasn't until 592 00:26:22,667 --> 00:26:24,667 a lot of time passed 593 00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:28,208 that I was thinking maybe men in black type thing. 594 00:26:28,292 --> 00:26:31,375 -

[Tony] More on Gary's connection to UFOs in a bit, 605 00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:01,042 but it's worth pointing out 606 00:27:01,125 --> 00:27:04,542 that the men in black legend originated in 1947 607 00:27:04,625 --> 00:27:07,708 when a man named Harold Dahl allegedly saw a UFO 608 00:27:07,833 --> 00:27:10,292 on Maury Island, Washington. 609 00:27:10,375 --> 00:27:13,667 Dahl claimed a man in a black suit visited him days later 610 00:27:13,708 --> 00:27:16,083 and warned him not to discuss the sighting. 611 00:27:20,542 --> 00:27:22,583 (phone dial sounding) 612 00:27:23,958 --> 00:27:26,583 - Now, Gary told us he has never seen a UFO, 613 00:27:26,708 --> 00:27:28,500 but his dad had years before. 614 00:27:28,583 --> 00:27:30,708 And the sighting had become family legend. 615 00:27:30,792 --> 00:27:32,875 Could that explain why the call came 616 00:27:32,875 --> 00:27:34,792 to his parents' landline? 617 00:27:34,875 --> 00:27:36,792 In the months following the mysterious phone calls, 618 00:27:36,875 --> 00:27:39,333 Gary sent his recordings to news channels 619 00:27:39,458 --> 00:27:41,167 and even a private investigator. 620 00:27:41,250 --> 00:27:44,917 But no one could identify what or who was calling. 621 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,500 So can this case finally be cracked? 622 00:27:47,625 --> 00:27:49,417 Our experts answer the call. 623 00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:51,708 (tense music) 624 00:27:52,958 --> 00:27:56,000 First, we asked military aviation expert Tim McMillan 625 00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:58,167 whether Gary could really have been contacted 626 00:27:58,292 --> 00:27:59,292 by the men in black. 627 00:28:03,292 --> 00:28:05,333 - Nothing that I hear in the calls is suggestive 628 00:28:05,458 --> 00:28:06,667 of the men in black. 629 00:28:06,792 --> 00:28:10,042 My first impression is that the caller 630 00:28:10,125 --> 00:28:13,792 on the other line is actually using a prerecorded message 631 00:28:13,875 --> 00:28:16,083 in its replies, because there doesn't seem 632 00:28:16,167 --> 00:28:19,667 to be the back and forth flow you would expect 633 00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:21,750 from any kind of conversation. 634 00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,750 -

The interesting thing about the call is, 641 00:28:37,333 --> 00:28:41,583 several of the utterances are repeated four or five times 642 00:28:41,708 --> 00:28:43,208 during that conversation, 643 00:28:43,292 --> 00:28:45,375 and they're not just repeated word for word. 644 00:28:45,458 --> 00:28:47,167 They're identical. 645 00:28:47,208 --> 00:28:51,708 -

We can't get 100% accuracy out of that single recording, 662 00:29:43,333 --> 00:29:46,667 but my subjective determination is that Gary recorded this 663 00:29:46,708 --> 00:29:49,000 and played the voice back at a slower rate 664 00:29:49,083 --> 00:29:52,583 to make the deceptive men in black voice. 665 00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:56,167 -

[Tony] A variety of folklore suggests 701 00:31:31,583 --> 00:31:34,250 that sheep can predict things like the weather. 702 00:31:34,250 --> 00:31:36,208 In fact, some people in Iceland believe 703 00:31:36,292 --> 00:31:38,875 that a sheep urinating more frequently is a sign 704 00:31:38,958 --> 00:31:42,000 of rain to come, and recent research suggests 705 00:31:42,083 --> 00:31:44,250 that sheep, along with other farm animals, 706 00:31:44,375 --> 00:31:46,667 can predict earthquakes approximately 20 hours 707 00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:48,292 before they happen. 708 00:31:48,417 --> 00:31:50,208 Could these sheep be collectively 709 00:31:50,333 --> 00:31:53,333 predicting something we don't yet understand? 710 00:31:53,458 --> 00:31:57,000 McCarthy lays out another more toxic theory. 711 00:31:57,125 --> 00:31:59,500 - The farm is located in Baotou, 712 00:31:59,542 --> 00:32:02,833 which is actually the largest processing center 713 00:32:02,917 --> 00:32:05,333 for rare earth elements in China. 714 00:32:05,417 --> 00:32:07,750 Studies have shown that the soil and the groundwater 715 00:32:07,833 --> 00:32:10,167 in Baotou are highly polluted. 716 00:32:10,208 --> 00:32:12,333 Could this sheep circle be the consequence 717 00:32:12,375 --> 00:32:15,250 of the processing that occurs in plants in the area? 718 00:32:16,875 --> 00:32:18,042 -

There are a variety of ways 730 00:32:46,250 --> 00:32:47,583 in which pollution can affect sheep. 731 00:32:47,708 --> 00:32:52,000 It can cause mutations, birth defects, cancer, 732 00:32:52,042 --> 00:32:55,125 and it could also cause neurological defects. 733 00:32:55,208 --> 00:32:56,958 In this case, we're seeing a behavior issue 734 00:32:57,042 --> 00:32:58,667 that could potentially be caused 735 00:32:58,792 --> 00:33:02,000 by a neurological impairment. 736 00:33:02,042 --> 00:33:04,042 - [Tony] However, based on the appearance 737 00:33:04,125 --> 00:33:05,417 of the sheep in this video, 738 00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,125 Hayes is not convinced that pollution is to blame. 739 00:33:08,208 --> 00:33:11,000 - Diseases caused by environmental pollutants 740 00:33:11,125 --> 00:33:14,000 usually result in a serious illness. 741 00:33:14,083 --> 00:33:16,792 These animals look to be healthy and vigorous. 742 00:33:16,875 --> 00:33:18,458 They don't look particularly skinny. 743 00:33:18,542 --> 00:33:20,833 They don't look like they're losing their hair. 744 00:33:20,917 --> 00:33:22,208 They're not limping. 745 00:33:22,292 --> 00:33:24,417 So I think they're healthy sheep. 746 00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,167 - [Tony] Wildlife biologist Stephanie Manka considers 747 00:33:27,250 --> 00:33:30,167 whether this could be the result of a bacterial infection. 748 00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:33,292 - One potential explanation is listeriosis, 749 00:33:33,375 --> 00:33:36,625 which is a disease that can occur in sheep. 750 00:33:36,708 --> 00:33:38,583 It's a neurological disease. 751 00:33:38,667 --> 00:33:43,167 So it affects their ability to walk straight. 752 00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:46,208 - [Tony] The listeria bacteria that causes listeriosis 753 00:33:46,333 --> 00:33:48,583 frequently develops in decaying animals. 754 00:33:48,667 --> 00:33:51,250 So an animal far is a perfect breeding ground. 755 00:33:51,375 --> 00:33:54,833 - Listeriosis can cause animals 756 00:33:54,917 --> 00:33:58,083 to walk in a circle, 757 00:33:58,208 --> 00:34:01,333 but usually, it's more of an individual spinning. 758 00:34:01,417 --> 00:34:05,042 And if the listeriosis continued without treatment, 759 00:34:05,167 --> 00:34:08,667 the individuals would die within 24 to 48 hours. 760 00:34:08,750 --> 00:34:11,583 And given these sheep have been walking collectively 761 00:34:11,667 --> 00:34:16,000 for 12 days, it's unlikely to be listeriosis. 762 00:34:16,083 --> 00:34:18,333 - [Tony] So if it's not listeriosis, 763 00:34:18,375 --> 00:34:21,125 do we have any idea what's going on here? 764 00:34:21,208 --> 00:34:24,000 - Perhaps the pen is too small 765 00:34:24,083 --> 00:34:26,833 or there's enough individuals in there 766 00:34:26,917 --> 00:34:29,458 to trigger flocking behavior, 767 00:34:29,542 --> 00:34:32,333 and these sheep are simply following along 768 00:34:32,417 --> 00:34:35,167 with whichever individual started it. 769 00:34:35,167 --> 00:34:39,708 And there's really no reason for the circle to stop, 770 00:34:39,792 --> 00:34:42,667 as long as there's sheep still participating in it. 771 00:34:42,708 --> 00:34:46,000 As long as some are moving, others will be triggered 772 00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:48,625 by their natural behavior to join in. 773 00:34:48,708 --> 00:34:51,000 - [Tony] Maybe, but we're still left wondering. 774 00:34:51,125 --> 00:34:53,500 If there were more than a dozen sheep pens, 775 00:34:53,625 --> 00:34:57,625 why did this only happen in pen number 13? 776 00:34:57,708 --> 00:34:59,833 (tense music) 777 00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:04,250 I was convinced we'd be able to explain this, 778 00:35:04,375 --> 00:35:06,250 but guess what? We can't. 779 00:35:06,375 --> 00:35:08,792 We're calling this a UOP, 780 00:35:08,875 --> 00:35:11,750 an unexplained ovine phenomenon. 781 00:35:11,833 --> 00:35:14,292 We've ruled out feeding patterns, known diseases, 782 00:35:14,375 --> 00:35:17,708 and pollution, so maybe there's something supernatural afoot 783 00:35:17,792 --> 00:35:19,583 with Mongolian sheep. 784 00:35:19,667 --> 00:35:22,083 Think about that the next time you put on a sweater. 785 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,667 - Accordin 786 00:35:26,750 --> 00:35:30,500 scientists still can't predict when earthquakes will happen. 787 00:35:30,583 --> 00:35:33,250 And in our next story from the UK, 788 00:35:33,333 --> 00:35:36,833 it was hard to tell one had happened even after the fact. 789 00:35:36,875 --> 00:35:38,542 Check out this crazy scene. 790 00:35:39,875 --> 00:35:42,833 It's February 2022 in the village of Lyneham 791 00:35:42,958 --> 00:35:44,417 in Wiltshire, England. 792 00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:47,792 Drivers trying to turn onto Route B4069 are greeted 793 00:35:47,875 --> 00:35:51,333 with a sign posted by police that says road closed. 794 00:35:51,458 --> 00:35:54,833 Some ignore the sign, which they soon regret. 795 00:35:54,875 --> 00:35:57,000 (mysterious music) 796 00:35:57,083 --> 00:35:59,000 One video taken of the scene focuses 797 00:35:59,083 --> 00:36:00,833 on a huge crack in the pavement 798 00:36:00,917 --> 00:36:03,833 with the camera tilting up to reveal dramatic ripples 799 00:36:03,875 --> 00:36:05,375 buckling the road. 800 00:36:05,458 --> 00:36:07,667 The camera then slowly pans to a spot 801 00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:11,667 where the asphalt has bent up to create a huge bump. 802 00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:14,542 The next shot shows parts of the pavement jutting up 803 00:36:14,625 --> 00:36:16,708 at sharp angles like a skateboarding ramp, 804 00:36:16,833 --> 00:36:18,792 which is how some kids use it. 805 00:36:18,875 --> 00:36:21,125 Journalist Eric Grundhauser says many assume 806 00:36:21,208 --> 00:36:24,333 this must be the result of some seismic disaster. 807 00:36:24,375 --> 00:36:29,792 - It seems to undulate as though it was destroyed 808 00:36:29,875 --> 00:36:32,833 by the passing of something large and destructive, 809 00:36:32,917 --> 00:36:34,500 like earthquake activity. 810 00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:37,125 - [Tony] But there's something missing 811 00:36:37,208 --> 00:36:39,750 from the earthquake theory: the quaking. 812 00:36:39,833 --> 00:36:42,875 - At the time, nobody reported feeling 813 00:36:42,958 --> 00:36:45,208 any sort of disturbance. 814 00:36:46,208 --> 00:36:48,375 - [Tony] Or perhaps, this road was a casualty 815 00:36:48,458 --> 00:36:52,500 of a secretive tunneling creature: human beings. 816 00:36:52,542 --> 00:36:56,667 - In nearby Corsham, there is an underground bunker complex 817 00:36:56,667 --> 00:37:02,292 that has some 10 miles of roads connecting various hospitals 818 00:37:02,375 --> 00:37:05,500 and other services that were all built in 1955 819 00:37:05,625 --> 00:37:09,417 by the military for leaders, politicians, 820 00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:11,042 generals, and the like. 821 00:37:11,125 --> 00:37:13,417 But when that use never materialized, 822 00:37:13,542 --> 00:37:17,333 the bunker city essentially was abandoned. 823 00:37:18,875 --> 00:37:21,458 - The project to build that underground headquarters 824 00:37:21,542 --> 00:37:24,167 was code named Subterfuge. 825 00:37:24,250 --> 00:37:26,583 So you'll excuse us if we speculate 826 00:37:26,667 --> 00:37:30,333 that there may be other hidden secrets beneath the surface. 827 00:37:30,458 --> 00:37:33,667 Let's turn to our experts to see what they can dig up. 828 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:35,792 (tense music) 829 00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:40,208 First, meteorologist Juan Hernandez examines 830 00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:42,417 if this could be the result of an earthquake. 831 00:37:42,542 --> 00:37:44,667 - England doesn't really lie on the edge 832 00:37:44,792 --> 00:37:46,833 of any plate tectonic. 833 00:37:46,958 --> 00:37:50,208 Usually, earthquakes happen on the edges of plate tectonics 834 00:37:50,292 --> 00:37:52,375 because of all that stored energy. 835 00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,833 There was a recorded earthquake in February of 2022. 836 00:37:55,875 --> 00:37:58,917 It was a 2.8 magnitude about 100 miles away 837 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,375 in West Bromwich. 838 00:38:00,542 --> 00:38:04,083 Now, a 2.8 magnitude earthquake is not going to cause 839 00:38:04,083 --> 00:38:05,625 this much damage. 840 00:38:05,708 --> 00:38:08,750 We're probably looking at a four, five, or beyond 841 00:38:08,833 --> 00:38:11,750 for it to start causing damage to roads. 842 00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:13,667 - [Tony] So if this wasn't caused by shaking earth, 843 00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:15,792 could this be the work of giant worms? 844 00:38:17,375 --> 00:38:20,292 NASA geologist Dr. Bob Anderson investigates. 845 00:38:20,375 --> 00:38:22,875 - One of the ideas about the destruction of this road 846 00:38:22,958 --> 00:38:26,792 is that it was created by a worm called Microchaetus rappi. 847 00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:30,708 These worms average about six feet in length, 848 00:38:30,792 --> 00:38:33,750 but the longest has been identified as 21 feet long. 849 00:38:33,875 --> 00:38:36,875 But they only average less than an inch in diameter. 850 00:38:36,958 --> 00:38:39,875 So even if that worm was digging a trough under this road, 851 00:38:39,958 --> 00:38:42,125 it could not cause this kind of destruction that we see 852 00:38:42,208 --> 00:38:43,458 in the video. 853 00:38:43,583 --> 00:38:45,292 - [Tony] If there is no worm large enough 854 00:38:45,375 --> 00:38:46,833 to produce this degree of damage, 855 00:38:46,917 --> 00:38:48,958 then could the theory about secret tunnels, 856 00:38:49,042 --> 00:38:51,708 like the military's Burlington Bunker in Corsham, 857 00:38:51,792 --> 00:38:52,875 hold some weight? 858 00:38:52,958 --> 00:38:54,083 - Here, in this region, 859 00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:56,750 this mining quarry was turned over to the government 860 00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:59,542 in England and made into a military base. 861 00:38:59,625 --> 00:39:01,250 But I think I can rule that one out, 862 00:39:01,333 --> 00:39:03,083 because the length of it shows 863 00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:04,750 that it's almost a sinusoidal wave. 864 00:39:04,875 --> 00:39:07,333 It's a motion type of wave on the rock. 865 00:39:07,375 --> 00:39:10,250 And so you can see that if it was a roof collapse, 866 00:39:10,333 --> 00:39:11,958 you'd have a hole, a depression. 867 00:39:12,042 --> 00:39:13,458 - [Tony] Not only that, 868 00:39:13,542 --> 00:39:16,333 but maps show that the location of the Burlington Bunker 869 00:39:16,375 --> 00:39:18,167 doesn't overlap with where we see 870 00:39:18,292 --> 00:39:20,083 this ripped up road in Lyneham. 871 00:39:21,125 --> 00:39:24,542 So could this be a different type of natural disaster? 872 00:39:24,625 --> 00:39:27,833 - The main cause in my opinion is illustrated right here 873 00:39:27,917 --> 00:39:30,167 on this picture where you see the trees. 874 00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:32,500 A tree will always grow towards the sun. 875 00:39:32,542 --> 00:39:34,833 And if you go along in areas where the land 876 00:39:34,917 --> 00:39:37,417 has been disturbed and you start seeing trees 877 00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:39,083 that are growing at an angle, 878 00:39:39,167 --> 00:39:40,542 that means that what you're having 879 00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:43,917 is a downhill movement of material, like a landslide. 880 00:39:44,042 --> 00:39:47,708 The hillside is moving very, very slowly over time 881 00:39:47,833 --> 00:39:49,750 until it gets to a point where it breaks. 882 00:39:49,875 --> 00:39:52,500 And that downhill movement is called mass wasting. 883 00:39:52,583 --> 00:39:54,417 - [Tony] Hernandez says the weather data shows 884 00:39:54,542 --> 00:39:56,917 this mass wasting, the movement of rock and soil 885 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,417 by the force of gravity, is the most likely cause. 886 00:39:59,542 --> 00:40:03,250 - The UK is usually plagued with bad weather. 887 00:40:03,333 --> 00:40:05,083 It is known for cloudy conditions. 888 00:40:05,167 --> 00:40:07,458 It's known for rainfall. 889 00:40:07,542 --> 00:40:10,083 When you couple significant amount of rain, 890 00:40:10,083 --> 00:40:12,833 strong winds, and moist soils, 891 00:40:12,875 --> 00:40:16,292 you often have landslides that usually look like this, 892 00:40:16,375 --> 00:40:20,708 especially given the terrain that is very steep in this area. 893 00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:22,792 (tense music) 894 00:40:24,167 --> 00:40:25,625 - Our verdict? 895 00:40:25,625 --> 00:40:27,708 This damage was almost certainly caused 896 00:40:27,792 --> 00:40:30,167 by a landslide, though we can't say for sure 897 00:40:30,208 --> 00:40:31,875 how it was triggered. 898 00:40:31,958 --> 00:40:35,083 And by the way, if you ever come across one yourself, 899 00:40:35,167 --> 00:40:38,500 experts say to evacuate the area immediately. 900 00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:40,500 You know what they don't suggest? 901 00:40:40,583 --> 00:40:43,750 Driving past all the turn back now signs. 902 00:40:43,833 --> 00:40:45,042 That's our show for tonight. 903 00:40:45,125 --> 00:40:46,667 Thank you so much for watching. 904 00:40:46,708 --> 00:40:48,750 Stay safe on the roads. 905 00:40:48,833 --> 00:40:51,042 And keep those cameras rolling. 906 00:40:51,042 --> 00:40:53,125 (dramatic music)
