1 00:00:02,125 --> 00:00:03,583 - Tonight, on "The Proof Is Out There". 2 00:00:03,583 --> 00:00:06,667 Is this grisly photo proof spontaneous combustion is real? 3 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,292 - If it was real, then it can happen to anyone at any time, 4 00:00:10,292 --> 00:00:12,042 which is a pretty scary thought. 5 00:00:12,042 --> 00:00:14,250 - [Tony] Is this proof that a famous UFO shape 6 00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:15,875 from the past has returned? 7 00:00:15,875 --> 00:00:17,292 - [Witness] This is crazy. 8 00:00:17,292 --> 00:00:19,125 - This is not your average sight in the night sky. 9 00:00:19,125 --> 00:00:21,042 - [Tony] An out of control SUV 10 00:00:21,042 --> 00:00:22,958 barely misses a man of the cloth. 11 00:00:22,958 --> 00:00:27,208 - If this is not a miracle in action, I don't know what is. 12 00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:29,375 - [Tony] And remember that Chinese spy balloon 13 00:00:29,375 --> 00:00:30,750 over Montana? 14 00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:33,542 Did this woman discover something even more alarming? 15 00:00:33,542 --> 00:00:37,125 - I was in shock, I wasn't sure what I was witnessing. 16 00:00:37,125 --> 00:00:39,417 (dramatic music) 17 00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,375 - [Tony] Around the globe are videos. 18 00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:43,958 - [Witness] What are those things? 19 00:00:43,958 --> 00:00:45,292 - [Witness] It's moving. 20 00:00:45,292 --> 00:00:48,917 - [Tony] Photos and sounds that defy explanation. 21 00:00:48,917 --> 00:00:51,000 (electric static whirring) 22 00:00:54,375 --> 00:00:56,083 - [Kathy] We don't know where they come from, 23 00:00:56,083 --> 00:00:57,833 who made them or how they operate. 24 00:00:57,833 --> 00:00:59,083 - [Tony] What are they? 25 00:00:59,083 --> 00:01:01,000 - [MJ] Some sort of bizarre mutation. 26 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,667 - [Marc] What's exciting is nobody really knows. 27 00:01:02,667 --> 00:01:06,208 - Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof. 28 00:01:07,917 --> 00:01:09,792 - I'm Tony Harris and as a journalist 29 00:01:09,792 --> 00:01:11,375 for more than 30 years, 30 00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:14,208 I've followed the facts where they take me. 31 00:01:14,208 --> 00:01:16,542 Now, I'm bringing that spirit of investigation 32 00:01:16,542 --> 00:01:19,292 to the world's strangest sounds and images. 33 00:01:20,292 --> 00:01:23,208 We'll analyze each one with top experts. 34 00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:26,333 - It's a credible case, it's a credible video. 35 00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:29,083 - [Tony] And pass a verdict on what it is. 36 00:01:29,083 --> 00:01:31,125 - This video was clearly faked. 37 00:01:31,125 --> 00:01:33,208 - The proof starts now. 38 00:01:33,208 --> 00:01:35,500 (dramatic music) 39 00:01:40,583 --> 00:01:44,208 Good evening and welcome to "The Proof Is Out There". 40 00:01:44,208 --> 00:01:46,000 We're starting with a classic story 41 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,708 of spontaneous human combustion. 42 00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,542 It's not uncommon for grass clippings, fertilizer, 43 00:01:51,542 --> 00:01:54,458 or mulch to spontaneously catch fire 44 00:01:54,458 --> 00:01:56,583 when exposed to the right elements. 45 00:01:56,583 --> 00:01:58,917 But is it possible for the same thing to happen 46 00:01:58,917 --> 00:02:00,500 to a human being? 47 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,208 Check this out and a warning to all of you. 48 00:02:03,208 --> 00:02:04,875 Some of the footage we're about to show 49 00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:06,833 is not for the faint hearted. 50 00:02:08,042 --> 00:02:11,042 July 2nd, 1951, St. Petersburg, Florida. 51 00:02:11,042 --> 00:02:14,042 At roughly 8:00 AM, landlady Pansy Carpenter 52 00:02:14,042 --> 00:02:15,792 arrives at Mary Reeser's apartment 53 00:02:15,792 --> 00:02:17,292 with a telegram. 54 00:02:17,292 --> 00:02:19,958 Kids, that's what people used for instant messages 55 00:02:19,958 --> 00:02:23,333 before you were born with a smartphone in your hand. 56 00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:26,250 She finds the metal doorknob to be uncomfortably warm 57 00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,542 to the touch and calls the police. 58 00:02:28,542 --> 00:02:31,625 When firefighters enter the unit, they discover this. 59 00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:35,333 The remnants of a fire with a pile of ashes 60 00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:37,750 where Reeser's easy chair used to be. 61 00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:40,917 Within it, they find the chair's coil springs, 62 00:02:40,917 --> 00:02:45,542 part of Reeser's spine, her left foot, and her skull. 63 00:02:45,542 --> 00:02:48,417 Even more baffling, the rest of Reeser's apartment 64 00:02:48,417 --> 00:02:51,208 was essentially untouched by the flames. 65 00:02:51,208 --> 00:02:54,208 As this strange story spreads, people started referring 66 00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:56,875 to Mary as the "Cinder Woman". 67 00:02:56,875 --> 00:02:59,875 - This was a pretty well-known case when I was a kid 68 00:02:59,875 --> 00:03:01,375 and it kind of baffled my mind 69 00:03:01,375 --> 00:03:04,542 as to how somebody could randomly burst into flames. 70 00:03:04,542 --> 00:03:07,292 A theory called spontaneous human combustion. 71 00:03:07,292 --> 00:03:09,208 - [Tony] Spontaneous combustion, 72 00:03:09,208 --> 00:03:12,583 the idea that sometimes people just explode, 73 00:03:12,583 --> 00:03:15,458 has been a reoccurring headline since this strange case 74 00:03:15,458 --> 00:03:17,542 first popularized the idea. 75 00:03:17,542 --> 00:03:19,167 - When something inside the body, 76 00:03:19,167 --> 00:03:20,375 whether it's chemicals 77 00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:23,250 or some other force, gets to a temperature 78 00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:25,708 that triggers the individual to catch fire. 79 00:03:25,708 --> 00:03:29,250 All of the heat that is generated that allows a person 80 00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:31,708 to catch flame is inside them. 81 00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:33,458 - [Tony] Alleged cases stretched back 82 00:03:33,458 --> 00:03:35,208 at least to the Victorian era, 83 00:03:35,208 --> 00:03:37,208 when Charles Dickens included such an event 84 00:03:37,208 --> 00:03:39,292 in his book, "Bleak House". 85 00:03:39,292 --> 00:03:42,208 Dickens said that part wasn't fiction. 86 00:03:42,208 --> 00:03:44,000 - [MJ] Dickens pointed back to history saying, 87 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 listen, there's many cases on record 88 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,833 where individuals have seemingly burst 89 00:03:47,833 --> 00:03:50,042 into flames just on their own. 90 00:03:50,042 --> 00:03:51,292 - [Tony] Banias also points 91 00:03:51,292 --> 00:03:53,583 to a much more recent example out of Ireland. 92 00:03:53,583 --> 00:03:57,167 - In 2010, a gentleman by the name of Michael Faherty 93 00:03:57,167 --> 00:03:59,375 was found in his home burned to death. 94 00:03:59,375 --> 00:04:01,750 The coroner on the case, for the first time, 95 00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:04,125 issued the verdict in a official report 96 00:04:04,125 --> 00:04:06,958 that this individual died as a result 97 00:04:06,958 --> 00:04:08,958 of spontaneous human combustion. 98 00:04:08,958 --> 00:04:10,500 And much like the Reeser case, 99 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,875 his home did not experience any other fire damage. 100 00:04:14,875 --> 00:04:18,833 - [Tony] So if spontaneous human combustion might be real, 101 00:04:18,833 --> 00:04:21,500 how and why could such a thing occur? 102 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,333 - Some people believe in the vibrational theory, 103 00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:26,333 that says that the subatomic particles 104 00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:28,833 that make us up are constantly moving around 105 00:04:28,833 --> 00:04:31,042 and if they move around with too much speed, 106 00:04:31,042 --> 00:04:33,333 that friction can create heat 107 00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,708 and lead to spontaneous human combustion. 108 00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:39,542 And others think that due to increased alcohol consumption 109 00:04:39,542 --> 00:04:42,458 or some forms of diet an individual's 110 00:04:42,458 --> 00:04:45,292 acetone levels can build up in their body and their blood, 111 00:04:45,292 --> 00:04:47,708 and that is what catches fire, 112 00:04:47,708 --> 00:04:50,250 burning them from the inside out. 113 00:04:52,708 --> 00:04:54,792 - [Tony] Acetone is a flammable substance 114 00:04:54,792 --> 00:04:57,708 usually found in products like paint remover, 115 00:04:57,708 --> 00:05:00,500 but small amounts can be found in the human body. 116 00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,667 Could this spark a fire within the body? 117 00:05:03,667 --> 00:05:05,875 Well, an anthropologist from the University 118 00:05:05,875 --> 00:05:08,833 of Pennsylvania claims that Mary's skull, reportedly found 119 00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:12,542 intact and slightly shrunk like this one, 120 00:05:12,542 --> 00:05:15,333 is just more proof that the heat did in fact 121 00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:17,708 come from inside Mary's body. 122 00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:20,042 Let's see what our experts think. 123 00:05:20,042 --> 00:05:22,375 (tense music) 124 00:05:23,583 --> 00:05:25,458 Physicist Matthews Szydagis 125 00:05:25,458 --> 00:05:27,542 shoots down the vibrational theory 126 00:05:27,542 --> 00:05:29,333 of spontaneous combustion. 127 00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:32,667 - This is a pseudoscientific notion with no basis 128 00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:35,708 in known physics, chemistry, or biology. 129 00:05:35,708 --> 00:05:38,417 Where would this energy come from? 130 00:05:38,417 --> 00:05:40,458 Energy cannot be created or destroyed. 131 00:05:40,458 --> 00:05:42,333 It can only change form. 132 00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:46,292 So, this mystical, woo-vibrational energy 133 00:05:46,292 --> 00:05:48,458 needs to come from somewhere. 134 00:05:48,458 --> 00:05:50,750 - [Tony] And as for one's acetone levels leading 135 00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:53,667 to a potential biological explosion, 136 00:05:53,667 --> 00:05:55,917 Szydagis says that's highly improbable. 137 00:05:55,917 --> 00:05:58,542 - None of those chemicals could be present in large 138 00:05:58,542 --> 00:06:01,542 quantities without causing toxicity. 139 00:06:01,542 --> 00:06:05,625 The amount of acetone that the human body would need 140 00:06:05,625 --> 00:06:09,375 in order to explain spontaneous human combustion cases 141 00:06:09,375 --> 00:06:11,500 would be poisonous. 142 00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:13,875 - Emergency medical physician Dr. Ed Hope 143 00:06:13,875 --> 00:06:17,333 agrees that the idea of spontaneous human combustion 144 00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:18,792 is a bit farfetched. 145 00:06:18,792 --> 00:06:20,792 - Even though we have the fuel for our body 146 00:06:20,792 --> 00:06:23,875 to potentially burn, you don't have a heat source 147 00:06:23,875 --> 00:06:26,542 to actually get the fire going in the first place. 148 00:06:26,542 --> 00:06:29,167 They're either smoking a cigarette or near a fire, 149 00:06:29,167 --> 00:06:32,417 or near a fireplace, and that's the more obvious culprit. 150 00:06:33,375 --> 00:06:35,417 - [Tony] But then, how does that explain 151 00:06:35,417 --> 00:06:39,042 the strange small area of burn in these cases, 152 00:06:39,042 --> 00:06:40,458 where the surrounding objects 153 00:06:40,458 --> 00:06:43,375 and furniture remained untouched by the flames? 154 00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:46,208 - There is a theory called the "Wick Effect", 155 00:06:46,208 --> 00:06:48,708 and it's best understood if we think about a candle. 156 00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:52,708 So, you have solid paraffin with a wick in the middle, 157 00:06:52,708 --> 00:06:55,625 and as the flame burns, it melts the paraffin, 158 00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:57,542 turns it into liquid paraffin, 159 00:06:57,542 --> 00:07:00,708 which is drawn up into the wick, which fuels the flame, 160 00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:02,875 which further burns the candle down. 161 00:07:02,875 --> 00:07:07,375 Now as grotesque as it is, the human body is kind of 162 00:07:07,375 --> 00:07:09,417 like an inside out candle, so our clothes 163 00:07:09,417 --> 00:07:11,833 around the outside become the wick. 164 00:07:11,833 --> 00:07:14,875 The wax in our case would be the fat in our body, 165 00:07:14,875 --> 00:07:17,750 and that further sustains the flame. 166 00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:19,958 We know from reports that Mary weighed 167 00:07:19,958 --> 00:07:21,750 around about 170 pounds, 168 00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:25,375 a fair amount of fat tissue there in order to fuel the fire. 169 00:07:25,375 --> 00:07:27,042 - [Tony] And since, like a candle, 170 00:07:27,042 --> 00:07:30,042 the wick effect is such a slow, contained burn, 171 00:07:30,042 --> 00:07:33,500 the flames stay contained without spreading. 172 00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:37,083 So how did Mary even catch fire in the first place? 173 00:07:37,083 --> 00:07:39,375 - According to Mary's son, 174 00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:41,792 every night, she took some sleeping tablets, 175 00:07:41,792 --> 00:07:45,000 she had a cigarette, and she changed into her nightgown. 176 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,125 So it's likely that the hot ash from the cigarette 177 00:07:48,125 --> 00:07:51,375 had fallen nearby and because she was so sedated, 178 00:07:51,375 --> 00:07:53,042 she would've not noticed 179 00:07:53,042 --> 00:07:55,042 and that caught fire to something nearby, 180 00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:56,875 possibly a newspaper. 181 00:07:56,875 --> 00:08:00,708 And sadly, she actually died from the smoke inhalation 182 00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:03,042 and then her nightgown would've set on fire 183 00:08:03,042 --> 00:08:05,542 and the wick effect would've taken hold 184 00:08:05,542 --> 00:08:06,958 and burnt her body. 185 00:08:08,375 --> 00:08:10,667 (tense music) 186 00:08:11,833 --> 00:08:14,375 - Our verdict, the wick effect. 187 00:08:14,375 --> 00:08:15,875 We agree with the experts 188 00:08:15,875 --> 00:08:17,833 that the "Cinder Woman's" fate was due 189 00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:21,875 to a mix of cigarettes, pills, and her sleeping attire. 190 00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:24,000 Although that doesn't account for the death 191 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,333 of Michael Faherty, whose cause of death 192 00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:28,542 is still legally ruled a case 193 00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:30,750 of spontaneous human combustion. 194 00:08:32,458 --> 00:08:35,583 Now, let's hop the globe over to Australia, 195 00:08:35,583 --> 00:08:37,667 which is responsible for quite a few 196 00:08:37,667 --> 00:08:39,583 of our stories over the years. 197 00:08:39,583 --> 00:08:43,250 The country's UFO history stretches back to 1868, 198 00:08:43,250 --> 00:08:46,792 when a man claimed to see an arc floating in the sky. 199 00:08:46,792 --> 00:08:49,083 And if our next story is any indication, 200 00:08:49,083 --> 00:08:52,542 it's possible another intergalactic vessel 201 00:08:52,542 --> 00:08:54,250 has made a trip down under. 202 00:08:56,167 --> 00:08:58,667 September 27th, 2021. 203 00:08:58,667 --> 00:09:01,167 It's about 8:00 PM in Sydney, Australia. 204 00:09:01,167 --> 00:09:03,542 Diana Lexa is walking home from the park 205 00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:06,167 with her daughter when a flash in the night sky 206 00:09:06,167 --> 00:09:07,750 catches her attention. 207 00:09:09,833 --> 00:09:12,542 - [Tony] Her video shows a strange, glowing object. 208 00:09:12,542 --> 00:09:14,875 No, not that wiggling lens flare, 209 00:09:14,875 --> 00:09:17,333 but the luminous shape beyond it. 210 00:09:17,333 --> 00:09:19,833 On camera, it almost looks stationary, 211 00:09:19,833 --> 00:09:21,750 but firsthand accounts say this thing 212 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:23,833 is zipping across the sky. 213 00:09:23,833 --> 00:09:25,875 Diana isn't sure what to think. 214 00:09:25,875 --> 00:09:28,542 - At first, I'm like, maybe it's some sort 215 00:09:28,542 --> 00:09:31,292 of like, police helicopter or something like that, you know, 216 00:09:31,292 --> 00:09:32,917 and then I zoomed in on it. 217 00:09:32,917 --> 00:09:35,583 - [Tony] Look again as Diana zooms in. 218 00:09:35,583 --> 00:09:38,750 It's a massive, boomerang shaped object 219 00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:42,458 with a bright light on its front apparently guiding it. 220 00:09:42,458 --> 00:09:44,458 - And I noticed it was like some strange, 221 00:09:44,458 --> 00:09:46,000 like, triangle thing. 222 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,958 It was like blinking, but it doesn't look like a helicopter. 223 00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:53,833 - [Tony] The boomerang is actually a classic UFO type. 224 00:09:53,833 --> 00:09:57,375 - Typically, they're much larger than other UFOs. 225 00:09:57,375 --> 00:10:00,375 One of the more famous UFO cases involving a boomerang shaped UFO 226 00:10:00,375 --> 00:10:03,917 occurred in the early 1980s in the Hudson Valley. 227 00:10:03,917 --> 00:10:07,292 For several years, there were multiple UFO sightings 228 00:10:07,292 --> 00:10:11,708 in the same area, and the most famous one occurred in 1983 229 00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:15,208 where people reported that there was this really large, 230 00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:18,833 V-shaped object flying over Hudson Valley. 231 00:10:18,833 --> 00:10:21,208 According to the local press in the time, 232 00:10:21,208 --> 00:10:23,417 hundreds of people witnessed this object. 233 00:10:24,375 --> 00:10:26,750 - [Tony] This Australian boomerang was also reported 234 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:28,458 by multiple witnesses, 235 00:10:28,458 --> 00:10:30,042 and they shouldn't hold their breath 236 00:10:30,042 --> 00:10:31,542 for an answer from their government. 237 00:10:31,542 --> 00:10:35,042 - Unfortunately, Australia made some nasty headlines in 2011 238 00:10:35,042 --> 00:10:37,208 where they came out basically admitting 239 00:10:37,208 --> 00:10:40,125 that all their UFO reports had gone missing. 240 00:10:40,125 --> 00:10:42,792 And ultimately, when a government misplaces stuff, 241 00:10:42,792 --> 00:10:45,083 it's gonna come off sounding fishy, especially when it comes 242 00:10:45,083 --> 00:10:48,375 to UFOs, because UFOs have such a long history 243 00:10:48,375 --> 00:10:50,125 of coverup and conspiracy. 244 00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:57,792 - In late 2000, Australia's military stopped accepting UFO 245 00:10:57,792 --> 00:10:59,750 sighting reports altogether. 246 00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:00,958 Witnesses are now directed 247 00:11:00,958 --> 00:11:03,375 to take their issues to the police. 248 00:11:03,375 --> 00:11:07,708 Luckily for Diana, she has our experts on her case. 249 00:11:07,708 --> 00:11:10,042 (tense music) 250 00:11:11,375 --> 00:11:13,208 We begin by asking Rich Hoffman, 251 00:11:13,208 --> 00:11:15,708 of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, 252 00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:18,625 if this could simply be a conventional craft. 253 00:11:18,625 --> 00:11:21,042 - There's no lighting whatsoever 254 00:11:21,042 --> 00:11:23,250 that you would find on an aircraft on this. 255 00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:26,333 Typically, you have navigation lights that have to be a red 256 00:11:26,333 --> 00:11:29,042 and green light and you might have a white blinking light 257 00:11:29,042 --> 00:11:32,875 on it and this has none of those kind of characteristics to it. 258 00:11:32,875 --> 00:11:34,833 - [Tony] Then, could this be another 259 00:11:34,833 --> 00:11:37,583 in a long line of boomerang UFOs? 260 00:11:37,583 --> 00:11:40,875 - UFOs don't use combustion engines. 261 00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:45,250 They're just objects that can maneuver around the sky 262 00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:48,292 without leaving any kind of exhaust out the back of them. 263 00:11:48,292 --> 00:11:51,125 Here's clearly something with an exhaust pattern. 264 00:11:51,125 --> 00:11:52,833 - [Tony] Upon closer examination, 265 00:11:52,833 --> 00:11:54,375 we see what he means. 266 00:11:54,375 --> 00:11:56,042 This object doesn't appear 267 00:11:56,042 --> 00:11:58,917 to be a solid boomerang shaped craft as much 268 00:11:58,917 --> 00:12:03,042 as it does a single bright point flanked by two clouds. 269 00:12:03,042 --> 00:12:05,500 So we turn to video effects designer and astronomer 270 00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,042 Marc D'Antonio to ask, 271 00:12:07,042 --> 00:12:10,000 could this be an atmospheric phenomenon? 272 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000 - Certainly, this is not a weather phenomenon of any kind. 273 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,208 Clouds don't have bright 274 00:12:14,208 --> 00:12:16,125 hotspots in the middle of 'em like this. 275 00:12:16,125 --> 00:12:17,708 I'm sure that there are some clouds 276 00:12:17,708 --> 00:12:19,208 that could look like a boomerang, 277 00:12:19,208 --> 00:12:21,458 but they change moment to moment. 278 00:12:21,458 --> 00:12:25,375 This thing remains the exact same shape pretty consistently, 279 00:12:25,375 --> 00:12:28,583 and it's moving too quickly, so it takes it out of the realm 280 00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:30,833 of logic to say it might be a cloud. 281 00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:32,458 - [Tony] Then what does that leave us? 282 00:12:32,458 --> 00:12:33,917 Hoffman has an idea. 283 00:12:33,917 --> 00:12:36,042 - The fact that it's boomerang shaped 284 00:12:36,042 --> 00:12:38,917 is typical to what we see in the exhaust patterns 285 00:12:38,917 --> 00:12:40,542 out of the bottom of rockets. 286 00:12:40,542 --> 00:12:42,458 - [Tony] And D'Antonio did some digging 287 00:12:42,458 --> 00:12:44,500 for "The Proof Is Out There" and solved it. 288 00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:48,875 - This is actually a rocket launch from the Chinese. 289 00:12:48,875 --> 00:12:52,042 It was a launch of a satellite using a Long March rocket 290 00:12:52,042 --> 00:12:54,083 and you're watching a plume 291 00:12:54,083 --> 00:12:56,917 of exhaust coming out from behind the rocket. 292 00:12:56,917 --> 00:12:58,875 - [Tony] The launch of Shiyan-10, 293 00:12:58,875 --> 00:13:00,833 the classified Chinese satellite, 294 00:13:00,833 --> 00:13:02,292 occurred roughly two hours 295 00:13:02,292 --> 00:13:05,542 before Diana's sighting and about 5,000 miles away. 296 00:13:05,542 --> 00:13:08,417 - Then you might think, how could someone down in Sydney, 297 00:13:08,417 --> 00:13:11,333 Australia see a rocket launch that comes out of China? 298 00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:14,000 Well, when you launch something up into the sky, 299 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,458 it's going to be visible for thousands of miles. 300 00:13:16,458 --> 00:13:19,625 The higher up in the sky it goes, the easier it's gonna be 301 00:13:19,625 --> 00:13:21,500 to see from a longer distance. 302 00:13:24,292 --> 00:13:26,417 (tense music) 303 00:13:28,042 --> 00:13:30,875 - Our verdict, this was a Chinese rocket 304 00:13:30,875 --> 00:13:33,042 launching a satellite into orbit, 305 00:13:33,042 --> 00:13:34,958 though the purpose of the satellite 306 00:13:34,958 --> 00:13:36,458 remains a state secret. 307 00:13:37,625 --> 00:13:39,333 Going off eyewitness accounts alone, 308 00:13:39,333 --> 00:13:42,667 we can't say for certain if rocket launches explain 309 00:13:42,667 --> 00:13:44,958 other boomerang UFO sightings. 310 00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:47,083 But if you ever see one for yourself, be sure 311 00:13:47,083 --> 00:13:50,042 to take the video and check for news of recent launches. 312 00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:55,000 - According to a Baylor University survey, 313 00:13:55,458 --> 00:13:58,250 more than half of adults believe they have been protected 314 00:13:58,250 --> 00:14:01,583 by a guardian angel during their lifetime. 315 00:14:01,583 --> 00:14:04,000 This next video is so intense, 316 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,708 you very well might be convinced 317 00:14:06,708 --> 00:14:09,167 divine intervention was involved. 318 00:14:09,167 --> 00:14:12,750 It's October 2022 in Milford, Ohio. 319 00:14:12,750 --> 00:14:14,417 Just after 8:30 in the morning, 320 00:14:14,417 --> 00:14:19,042 an 87-year-old, semi-retired priest who asked not to be named 321 00:14:19,042 --> 00:14:21,583 is on his way to church to deliver Catholic mass, 322 00:14:21,583 --> 00:14:24,833 but he's also on a collision course with near disaster. 323 00:14:26,708 --> 00:14:28,208 It happened so fast, 324 00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:30,833 I think we should slow it down and take another look. 325 00:14:30,833 --> 00:14:32,292 Check out how the SUV, 326 00:14:32,292 --> 00:14:35,083 driven by an unnamed teen, hits two thin poles 327 00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:37,167 and a "No left turn" sign. 328 00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:40,042 It somehow becomes airborne, just clears the priest's 329 00:14:40,042 --> 00:14:44,375 white Hyundai, then lands bumper first in a parking lot. 330 00:14:44,375 --> 00:14:47,750 Meanwhile, the priest's car drives off without a scratch. 331 00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:49,792 Milford police chief Jamey Mills says 332 00:14:49,792 --> 00:14:51,375 the incident came as a shock. 333 00:14:51,375 --> 00:14:53,583 - The first thought that ran through my head was, 334 00:14:53,583 --> 00:14:55,292 I hope no one is injured. 335 00:14:55,292 --> 00:14:58,042 - [Tony] The black SUV ends up crashing into a building, 336 00:14:58,042 --> 00:14:59,667 but the police have no idea 337 00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:03,875 it nearly broadsided the priest's car, perhaps fatally, 338 00:15:03,875 --> 00:15:05,125 until they checked the footage 339 00:15:05,125 --> 00:15:07,042 that was captured by a security camera. 340 00:15:07,042 --> 00:15:10,667 - We didn't know he had leaped over another vehicle. 341 00:15:10,667 --> 00:15:12,375 This was an absolute miracle. 342 00:15:12,375 --> 00:15:16,042 It's unbelievable that no one was injured or killed. 343 00:15:16,042 --> 00:15:18,833 - [Tony] The priest later says he didn't even know an SUV 344 00:15:18,833 --> 00:15:20,375 had flown over his car. 345 00:15:20,375 --> 00:15:23,167 So, author Alexis Brooks wonders if it's possible 346 00:15:23,167 --> 00:15:25,542 he was being watched over by a guardian angel. 347 00:15:26,958 --> 00:15:29,542 - It could be the dust that's being kicked up 348 00:15:29,542 --> 00:15:31,375 by the speed of the SUV, 349 00:15:31,375 --> 00:15:36,875 but what I see here is something akin to wings. 350 00:15:37,875 --> 00:15:39,625 It could be that the wings 351 00:15:39,625 --> 00:15:42,750 of the angel were literally lifting up this SUV 352 00:15:42,750 --> 00:15:46,083 in order to avoid what could have been a fatal collision. 353 00:15:46,083 --> 00:15:48,042 - [Tony] Brooks says the Bible speaks 354 00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:51,875 of God commanding angels to guard the faithful. 355 00:15:51,875 --> 00:15:54,333 - The presence of guardian angels 356 00:15:54,333 --> 00:15:56,667 have been replete throughout history. 357 00:15:56,667 --> 00:15:59,458 One that is known to many, 358 00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:01,708 particularly in the Christian faith, is that of 359 00:16:01,708 --> 00:16:03,750 Saint Michael, or Archangel Michael. 360 00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:08,917 He's known as the warrior angel and a protective angel. 361 00:16:08,917 --> 00:16:11,208 - [Tony] And this is not the first time 362 00:16:11,208 --> 00:16:14,125 we've possibly seen divine intervention during an accident. 363 00:16:14,125 --> 00:16:16,292 We previously showed you this scary clip 364 00:16:16,292 --> 00:16:19,042 of a father just narrowly saving his kids 365 00:16:19,042 --> 00:16:21,875 from being run over by an out of control car 366 00:16:21,875 --> 00:16:24,167 outside a bike shop in Indonesia. 367 00:16:24,167 --> 00:16:26,708 - You've got to question the nature 368 00:16:26,708 --> 00:16:29,000 of reality when something like that happens. 369 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,042 So I happen to think we could put 370 00:16:31,042 --> 00:16:33,500 that in the angelic intervention column. 371 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,500 (choir singing) 372 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,583 - Now, get ready for this. 373 00:16:39,583 --> 00:16:42,250 The Ohio accident happened on the feast day 374 00:16:42,250 --> 00:16:43,875 of the guardian angels, 375 00:16:43,875 --> 00:16:46,167 when Catholics recognize the protective role 376 00:16:46,167 --> 00:16:48,375 of these heavenly beings play in our lives. 377 00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:51,625 So, what should we believe about the priest 378 00:16:51,625 --> 00:16:53,875 and his holy Hyundai? 379 00:16:53,875 --> 00:16:55,792 Could God be at the wheel? 380 00:16:55,792 --> 00:16:58,083 (tense music) 381 00:16:59,333 --> 00:17:01,917 Catholic miracle investigator Michael O'Neill 382 00:17:01,917 --> 00:17:04,667 considers that this near miss could be a result 383 00:17:04,667 --> 00:17:06,333 of angelic intervention. 384 00:17:06,333 --> 00:17:08,500 - It's common practice for Catholics to seek out 385 00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,583 the protection of saints and angels in their travel. 386 00:17:11,583 --> 00:17:14,250 St. Christopher is the patron saint of motorists. 387 00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:16,875 Our Lady of Loreto, the patron saint of aviators. 388 00:17:16,875 --> 00:17:18,917 And while we can't definitively say 389 00:17:18,917 --> 00:17:21,042 that this is a guardian angel here, 390 00:17:21,042 --> 00:17:22,542 we have a Catholic priest on his way 391 00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:25,250 to say mass in the feast day of the guardian angels. 392 00:17:25,250 --> 00:17:27,833 Seems like a clear cut case, in my opinion, 393 00:17:27,833 --> 00:17:29,458 of something that might be a miracle. 394 00:17:29,458 --> 00:17:31,208 - [Tony] But is there any chance 395 00:17:31,208 --> 00:17:33,750 this could all just be explained away with science? 396 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:36,458 Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku investigates. 397 00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:40,167 - This is a miracle made possible by the first law 398 00:17:40,167 --> 00:17:43,417 of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy. 399 00:17:43,417 --> 00:17:46,708 First, the black car comes in from the side 400 00:17:46,708 --> 00:17:48,250 at a certain energy. 401 00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:52,042 That energy, the kinetic energy of motion is then converted 402 00:17:52,042 --> 00:17:55,333 to the energy of being thrust into the air 403 00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:56,875 because it hit that rail. 404 00:17:56,875 --> 00:18:00,708 So the energy of motion turns into gravitational energy 405 00:18:00,708 --> 00:18:04,708 and then the car simply moves away as a consequence. 406 00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:07,708 - [Tony] But since this all seems so perfectly timed, 407 00:18:07,708 --> 00:18:11,000 could it actually just be a Hollywood style stunt? 408 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,917 Yes, it happens. 409 00:18:12,917 --> 00:18:15,208 In 2023, this pilot was charged 410 00:18:15,208 --> 00:18:18,708 with staging his own plane crash just for clicks. 411 00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:21,875 - There are people who might say that this was a stunt 412 00:18:21,875 --> 00:18:24,833 for the internet, but perhaps signing up an 87-year-old, 413 00:18:24,833 --> 00:18:29,000 retired priest to be a driver in a close call like this one, 414 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,708 I don't think that's really gonna happen. 415 00:18:30,708 --> 00:18:32,500 - [Tony] And Kaku says the circumstances 416 00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:34,958 of the crash fully rule out something intentional. 417 00:18:34,958 --> 00:18:38,583 - The driver in the black car, a kid had an epileptic fit, 418 00:18:38,583 --> 00:18:41,542 and so that's why he lost control of the car. 419 00:18:41,542 --> 00:18:44,333 I think what we are looking at is a miracle. 420 00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:45,792 According to the laws of physics, 421 00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:50,167 everything had to be just right and that's what happened. 422 00:18:50,167 --> 00:18:52,375 (tense music) 423 00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:56,500 - This video was one crazy ride. 424 00:18:56,500 --> 00:19:00,208 Our verdict, this is a possible miracle. 425 00:19:00,208 --> 00:19:02,500 If one of the world's top physicists just said so, 426 00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:05,042 we're in no position to contradict him. 427 00:19:05,042 --> 00:19:10,208 Maybe it was just good luck or maybe an angel intervened. 428 00:19:10,208 --> 00:19:12,792 We won't argue with whatever you choose to believe. 429 00:19:16,792 --> 00:19:18,042 - Strange sounds terrorizing entire communities 430 00:19:18,042 --> 00:19:20,000 seem to be a growing trend. 431 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,042 Several years ago, residents of a small suburb in Oregon 432 00:19:23,042 --> 00:19:26,208 were tortured by a still unexplained whistle 433 00:19:26,208 --> 00:19:28,333 they claimed was driving them insane. 434 00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:31,750 In our next story, a new sound is disturbing the peace. 435 00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:35,250 Only this time, in the outer boroughs of the Big Apple. 436 00:19:36,458 --> 00:19:39,667 Brooklyn, New York, November 2022. 437 00:19:39,667 --> 00:19:42,292 Mo Hussein is walking home at night when he hears 438 00:19:42,292 --> 00:19:44,625 a mysterious sound echoing through his neighborhood 439 00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:45,750 of Fort Green. 440 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:48,750 Using his camera phone, he records this. 441 00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:49,958 (resonant droning) 442 00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:51,417 - What is that sound? 443 00:19:53,042 --> 00:19:56,208 - [Tony] And according to Mo, this noise has been going off 444 00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:58,958 and on, haunting residents for over a year. 445 00:19:58,958 --> 00:20:01,083 - It's driving me (bleep) crazy. 446 00:20:01,083 --> 00:20:02,458 It's the type of sound 447 00:20:02,458 --> 00:20:06,750 that kind of reels into your head slowly, 448 00:20:06,750 --> 00:20:10,125 hour after hour, until finally you kind of jump up 449 00:20:10,125 --> 00:20:14,292 from your desk and you say, "Oh my God, what is that sound?" 450 00:20:14,292 --> 00:20:15,667 It made it difficult to sleep 451 00:20:15,667 --> 00:20:17,708 and it definitely caused headaches. 452 00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:19,792 - [Tony] Out of desperation, Mo and his neighbors 453 00:20:19,792 --> 00:20:23,375 call the city, but the sound would mysteriously turn off 454 00:20:23,375 --> 00:20:25,708 anytime officials showed up to investigate. 455 00:20:25,708 --> 00:20:28,375 - The timing of the occurrence of the hum 456 00:20:28,375 --> 00:20:31,333 led a lot of people to believe that it was some sort 457 00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:33,083 of construction equipment 458 00:20:33,083 --> 00:20:35,375 that could hopefully be turned off. 459 00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:36,625 - [Tony] But with no clear answers 460 00:20:36,625 --> 00:20:38,458 from any city representatives, 461 00:20:38,458 --> 00:20:41,042 another theory emerged based on the hum's 462 00:20:41,042 --> 00:20:42,708 potential frequency. 463 00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:45,042 - [Eric] There's a phenomenon, the "Worldwide Hum", 464 00:20:45,042 --> 00:20:48,750 that can be heard by certain people all over the world. 465 00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:52,417 It's been reported to cause symptoms including nausea, 466 00:20:52,417 --> 00:20:55,625 headaches, dizziness. 467 00:20:55,625 --> 00:20:58,375 - [Tony] Some people theorize that the worldwide hum 468 00:20:58,375 --> 00:21:01,333 is tied to underground gas pipelines. 469 00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:03,458 This map created by hum sufferer 470 00:21:03,458 --> 00:21:05,708 and mechanical engineer Steve Coalhouse 471 00:21:05,708 --> 00:21:08,833 shows the overlapping proximity of hum reports 472 00:21:08,833 --> 00:21:10,958 and pipeline locations. 473 00:21:10,958 --> 00:21:13,500 But while the Brooklyn pipeline has been in the works, 474 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,375 it is far from finished. 475 00:21:15,375 --> 00:21:18,042 So, Grundhauser explores a more frightful theory, 476 00:21:18,042 --> 00:21:20,417 one involving sonic weapons. 477 00:21:20,417 --> 00:21:23,250 - In 2016 in Havana, Cuba, 478 00:21:23,250 --> 00:21:25,708 members of the U.S. Embassy staff 479 00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:29,208 woke up in the middle of the night to a loud piercing sound 480 00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:32,583 that caused dizziness, vertigo, and nausea. 481 00:21:32,583 --> 00:21:35,000 - [Tony] Although Cuba denied any responsibility 482 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,708 for this sound and its effects, 483 00:21:36,708 --> 00:21:40,458 later dubbed "Havana Syndrome", a recent study claims to show 484 00:21:40,458 --> 00:21:43,875 brain abnormalities in all the people who heard this noise, 485 00:21:43,875 --> 00:21:47,042 leading many to believe it was a sonic weapon. 486 00:21:47,042 --> 00:21:49,500 - Similar symptoms have been reported by hundreds. 487 00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:53,208 Some have even said thousands of U.S. spies 488 00:21:53,208 --> 00:21:56,042 and diplomats all over the world. 489 00:21:56,042 --> 00:21:58,375 (resonant humming) 490 00:22:00,042 --> 00:22:04,875 - This strange hum hasn't been Brooklyn's only audio oddity. 491 00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:07,042 Several years ago, residents of Brooklyn Heights 492 00:22:07,042 --> 00:22:10,417 started to hear a mysterious high pitched chirping noise 493 00:22:10,417 --> 00:22:12,542 around Cadman Plaza Park. 494 00:22:12,542 --> 00:22:14,917 It turned out that was coming from a state-of-the-art, 495 00:22:14,917 --> 00:22:17,208 pest repelling sound machine 496 00:22:17,208 --> 00:22:19,583 sitting out on someone's balcony. 497 00:22:19,583 --> 00:22:23,208 Could something so simple be what's plaguing Ford Green? 498 00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:25,208 We'll let our experts sound off. 499 00:22:25,208 --> 00:22:27,500 (tense music) 500 00:22:28,750 --> 00:22:31,875 We checked in with forensic audio analyst Robert Maher, 501 00:22:31,875 --> 00:22:34,917 who compared the Brooklyn hum with a recording claimed 502 00:22:34,917 --> 00:22:37,333 to be the sound of the Havana Syndrome. 503 00:22:37,333 --> 00:22:38,792 (high-pitched buzzing) 504 00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:43,042 - The Havana sound has a very high frequency, 505 00:22:43,042 --> 00:22:47,333 but the recording in Brooklyn, the lower frequency 506 00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:50,958 of this is nothing like the Havana tone. 507 00:22:50,958 --> 00:22:53,542 - [Tony] Some experts concluded that the Havana sound, 508 00:22:53,542 --> 00:22:55,583 at least that one recording of it, 509 00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:57,542 was just local crickets anyway, 510 00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:59,458 but that still doesn't explain what could be 511 00:22:59,458 --> 00:23:02,375 behind this infuriating hum in Brooklyn. 512 00:23:02,375 --> 00:23:04,292 Maher thinks he has an idea. 513 00:23:04,292 --> 00:23:06,542 - It's reminiscent of what is referred to as 514 00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:09,708 a "Helmholtz Resonance", and this is the resonance 515 00:23:09,708 --> 00:23:11,917 that you hear if you blow over the top 516 00:23:11,917 --> 00:23:14,042 of a pop bottle or a jug. 517 00:23:14,042 --> 00:23:15,875 (bottle whistling) 518 00:23:17,583 --> 00:23:19,792 With this sound that is heard in Brooklyn, 519 00:23:19,792 --> 00:23:22,375 the amplitude tends to vary up and down, 520 00:23:22,375 --> 00:23:24,208 which to me is an indication 521 00:23:24,208 --> 00:23:26,458 that this might be a resonance effect 522 00:23:26,458 --> 00:23:29,083 like wind blowing through a railing 523 00:23:29,083 --> 00:23:32,500 or a building that might cause this continuous, 524 00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:34,583 resonant quality sound. 525 00:23:34,583 --> 00:23:37,250 (resonant humming) 526 00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:39,500 (bottle whistling) 527 00:23:41,458 --> 00:23:43,833 - [Tony] Solid structures like steel railings 528 00:23:43,833 --> 00:23:46,042 or metal bars contain molecules 529 00:23:46,042 --> 00:23:49,333 that vibrate at a frequency specific to their makeup. 530 00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:51,708 And when hit by something like high winds, 531 00:23:51,708 --> 00:23:55,042 the "Helmholtz Resonance" can kick in. 532 00:23:55,042 --> 00:23:58,125 - You may amplify existing small vibrations 533 00:23:58,125 --> 00:23:59,750 turning them into larger ones. 534 00:23:59,750 --> 00:24:03,375 The Brooklyn Hum can just be blamed on some sort 535 00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:06,583 of wind tunnel effect towards structures 536 00:24:06,583 --> 00:24:09,167 that can wiggle back and and forth 537 00:24:09,167 --> 00:24:14,708 at just the right frequency to create this annoying sound. 538 00:24:14,708 --> 00:24:16,667 - It's driving me (bleep) crazy. 539 00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:19,833 (tense music) 540 00:24:21,375 --> 00:24:23,042 - While we agree with our experts 541 00:24:23,042 --> 00:24:25,875 that the Brooklyn hum is most likely a product 542 00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:27,750 of resonance created by the wind, 543 00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:30,417 we still don't know exactly which structure 544 00:24:30,417 --> 00:24:32,042 the sound is coming from. 545 00:24:32,042 --> 00:24:36,083 Our verdict, partially unexplained sound resonance. 546 00:24:36,083 --> 00:24:38,042 Meanwhile, the people of Fort Green have started 547 00:24:38,042 --> 00:24:40,917 a petition to stop the mysterious noise. 548 00:24:40,917 --> 00:24:43,417 They hope making noise of their own 549 00:24:43,417 --> 00:24:45,833 will yield some well-earned peace and quiet. 550 00:24:49,833 --> 00:24:50,917 - Everyone loves a good treasure hunt 551 00:24:51,292 --> 00:24:53,875 and some believe the mysterious stones in this next story 552 00:24:53,875 --> 00:24:58,583 could unlock the secret location of untold riches. 553 00:24:58,583 --> 00:25:00,125 Do we have your attention? 554 00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:04,542 It's 2004 in Phoenix, Arizona. 555 00:25:04,542 --> 00:25:06,708 Third generation treasure hunter Dan Dillman 556 00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:08,958 is at the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum 557 00:25:08,958 --> 00:25:10,625 where he's been granted special access 558 00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:12,167 to view some artifacts 559 00:25:12,167 --> 00:25:14,708 that have long been a family obsession. 560 00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:16,792 These photos show replicas of a set 561 00:25:16,792 --> 00:25:20,583 of rectangular slabs known as the Peralta Stones. 562 00:25:20,583 --> 00:25:23,625 They're each 18 inches wide and 12 inches tall. 563 00:25:23,625 --> 00:25:26,958 One is known as the Horse Stone, or the Priest Stone, 564 00:25:26,958 --> 00:25:30,500 and features a horse on one side and a priest on the back. 565 00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,750 A second, the Trail Map Stone, features 566 00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:35,708 what looks like a pictorial map. 567 00:25:35,708 --> 00:25:38,417 The third has a recessed heart that's filled 568 00:25:38,417 --> 00:25:40,875 with a separate, heart-shaped stone. 569 00:25:40,875 --> 00:25:43,500 This heart tablet seems to connect with the trail map. 570 00:25:46,083 --> 00:25:48,875 - I first heard about the Peralta Stone tablets 571 00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:52,042 from my grandfather and uncles when I was just a little kid, 572 00:25:52,042 --> 00:25:54,417 sitting at the kitchen table, talking about treasure stories. 573 00:25:54,417 --> 00:25:57,208 And my grandfather and uncles truly believe 574 00:25:57,208 --> 00:26:01,500 that these were real stone maps that led to some place. 575 00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:03,625 - [Tony] Anthropologist Kathy Strain says 576 00:26:03,625 --> 00:26:06,542 the story goes that the original tablets were found in the 577 00:26:06,542 --> 00:26:08,583 1940s in Arizona. 578 00:26:08,583 --> 00:26:10,542 - Police officer Travis Tumlinson 579 00:26:10,542 --> 00:26:12,708 was near Apache Junction, Arizona 580 00:26:12,708 --> 00:26:14,208 and he just stepped out of the car 581 00:26:14,208 --> 00:26:16,750 to stretch his legs and he found these stones 582 00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:19,792 buried in the dirt next to where he was parked. 583 00:26:19,792 --> 00:26:22,625 - [Tony] This heart-shaped insert was apparently found 584 00:26:22,625 --> 00:26:25,583 later by someone who went back to search the area. 585 00:26:25,583 --> 00:26:27,833 - The prevailing theory is that these stones 586 00:26:27,833 --> 00:26:30,958 will tell the way to get to the Lost Dutchman Mine. 587 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,042 Now, Lost Dutchman Mine is believed 588 00:26:34,042 --> 00:26:37,208 to be on some land in the Superstition Mountains. 589 00:26:37,208 --> 00:26:39,792 In 1748, the land was granted 590 00:26:39,792 --> 00:26:43,125 to a Mexican cattle-bearer named Don Miguel Peralta. 591 00:26:43,125 --> 00:26:45,875 It is said that there was a gold mine on that property, 592 00:26:45,875 --> 00:26:48,000 but he rarely ever went to it. 593 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,833 - [Tony] In the 1870s, German immigrant Jacob Waltz 594 00:26:51,833 --> 00:26:54,250 supposedly found the location of the mine 595 00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:57,917 and spent years filling his saddlebags with gold. 596 00:26:57,917 --> 00:27:00,250 Dutchman was a common American term 597 00:27:00,250 --> 00:27:04,375 for a German in the 1800s from the Anglicized version 598 00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:06,625 of the German word Deutsche. 599 00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,375 - [Kathy] It's possible that these stones 600 00:27:08,375 --> 00:27:09,917 led him to find the mine, 601 00:27:09,917 --> 00:27:12,792 but it's also possible that he's the one that authored these 602 00:27:12,792 --> 00:27:15,375 to help him remember where the mine was. 603 00:27:15,375 --> 00:27:18,208 - [Tony] A number of searchers have mysteriously died 604 00:27:18,208 --> 00:27:20,708 or gone missing while hunting for this gold, 605 00:27:20,708 --> 00:27:22,750 and that only adds to the superstition 606 00:27:22,750 --> 00:27:24,167 that surrounds these peaks. 607 00:27:24,167 --> 00:27:27,542 - We continue following the information 608 00:27:27,542 --> 00:27:30,083 that we've gleaned from the Peralta Stone maps 609 00:27:30,083 --> 00:27:32,708 and we believe they lead to some of the greatest treasures 610 00:27:32,708 --> 00:27:34,000 this world has ever known. 611 00:27:36,042 --> 00:27:38,292 - The Superstition Mountains are renowned 612 00:27:38,292 --> 00:27:41,958 for more than just a legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine. 613 00:27:41,958 --> 00:27:44,125 Some Apaches believe a hole leading 614 00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:47,167 to the underworld is located there. 615 00:27:47,167 --> 00:27:49,417 What can our experts discover about this 616 00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:51,542 legendary search for treasure? 617 00:27:51,542 --> 00:27:53,375 Let's put them on the hunt. 618 00:27:53,375 --> 00:27:55,625 (tense music) 619 00:27:56,792 --> 00:27:58,833 Archeologist Dr. Ed Barnhart 620 00:27:58,833 --> 00:28:00,792 first deciphers what the stones say, 621 00:28:00,792 --> 00:28:02,875 starting with the Priest Stone. 622 00:28:02,875 --> 00:28:06,833 - One of the tablets has a text that in Spanish says, 623 00:28:06,833 --> 00:28:10,292 "Look for the map," which strikes me as a little odd 624 00:28:10,292 --> 00:28:13,500 considering these tablets are supposed to be the map. 625 00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:16,750 On the flip side, we have what's called the Horse Tablet, 626 00:28:16,750 --> 00:28:19,875 and then there's text again in Spanish saying, 627 00:28:19,875 --> 00:28:25,708 "The horse of Santa Fe, I graze north of the river," 628 00:28:25,708 --> 00:28:29,458 which people have taken to be some sort of cryptic 629 00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:31,417 directions to the mine. 630 00:28:31,417 --> 00:28:32,958 One of the troubles I have with 631 00:28:32,958 --> 00:28:37,500 that particular text though is that horse, caballo, 632 00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,208 is misspelled. 633 00:28:39,208 --> 00:28:41,375 - [Tony] Barnhart adds that on the Heart Stone, 634 00:28:41,375 --> 00:28:44,750 there appears to be a date, 1847, 635 00:28:44,750 --> 00:28:47,833 the last year Arizona was a part of Mexico. 636 00:28:47,833 --> 00:28:50,000 But what about the symbols on the other tablets 637 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,458 like the so-called Trail Map Stone? 638 00:28:52,458 --> 00:28:54,875 - The trail map itself 639 00:28:54,875 --> 00:28:57,875 seems to be kind of squiggly lines. 640 00:28:57,875 --> 00:28:59,875 There's no place where it begins 641 00:28:59,875 --> 00:29:04,917 or ends, so it's very difficult to discern 642 00:29:04,917 --> 00:29:07,917 how you would use it as a map. 643 00:29:07,917 --> 00:29:10,000 - [Tony] So who carved these stones? 644 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,542 Barnhart says it's unlikely the German prospector Waltz 645 00:29:13,542 --> 00:29:15,750 would've been literate in the 1800s, 646 00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:17,917 much less having education to be able 647 00:29:17,917 --> 00:29:19,958 to write words in other languages. 648 00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:22,708 And more importantly, he says the stones reveal 649 00:29:22,708 --> 00:29:25,958 two completely different levels of carving skill. 650 00:29:25,958 --> 00:29:27,708 - [Ed] The stones appear to be carved 651 00:29:27,708 --> 00:29:29,833 by two different authors. 652 00:29:29,833 --> 00:29:32,833 One is a much better artist than the other. 653 00:29:33,875 --> 00:29:36,083 - [Tony] NASA geologist Dr. Bob Anderson agrees 654 00:29:36,083 --> 00:29:38,667 there seems to be two separate artists 655 00:29:38,667 --> 00:29:42,125 and he says they performed their work in different centuries. 656 00:29:42,125 --> 00:29:45,208 - The carvings that you see on the two sandstone ones, 657 00:29:45,208 --> 00:29:47,917 which are the map, are pretty legitimate 658 00:29:47,917 --> 00:29:51,250 of what you would find in the 1840s and 1850s. 659 00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:53,625 These rocks are scattered all over Arizona 660 00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:55,167 and they were used as markers 661 00:29:55,167 --> 00:29:57,500 to show people where you want 'em to go. 662 00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:58,875 The horse, on the other hand, 663 00:29:58,875 --> 00:30:01,875 and the heart appear to be totally different. 664 00:30:01,875 --> 00:30:04,167 That heart symbol is probably much more recent. 665 00:30:04,167 --> 00:30:07,583 I would say probably in the 1940s or 1950s. 666 00:30:07,583 --> 00:30:10,333 These two rocks that are carved later do not belong 667 00:30:10,333 --> 00:30:12,958 to the same puzzle that the first two do. 668 00:30:12,958 --> 00:30:15,167 (tense music) 669 00:30:16,875 --> 00:30:20,125 - So, we're left a bit puzzled by these stones. 670 00:30:20,125 --> 00:30:23,417 Our verdict, the Trail Map Stone and the Heart Stone 671 00:30:23,417 --> 00:30:26,292 might be legitimate 19th century marker stones, 672 00:30:26,292 --> 00:30:29,708 but the heart-shaped insert and double-sided Horse 673 00:30:29,708 --> 00:30:33,417 or Priest Stone are likely fakes from the 20th century. 674 00:30:33,417 --> 00:30:35,708 And since they're not part of the same set, 675 00:30:35,708 --> 00:30:38,750 it's unlikely they reveal the hidden spot 676 00:30:38,750 --> 00:30:39,792 of a treasure trove. 677 00:30:43,667 --> 00:30:44,292 - On February 1st, 2023, 678 00:30:45,208 --> 00:30:48,042 a Chinese spy balloon was spotted over Billings, Montana. 679 00:30:48,042 --> 00:30:50,458 It traveled over much of the United States 680 00:30:50,458 --> 00:30:54,333 before the U.S. Air Force shot it down over the Atlantic. 681 00:30:54,333 --> 00:30:56,708 The incident made international headlines, 682 00:30:56,708 --> 00:30:58,208 but just two days later, 683 00:30:58,208 --> 00:31:01,875 another lesser known incident occurred over Montana. 684 00:31:01,875 --> 00:31:05,250 Was it a balloon or something else? 685 00:31:05,250 --> 00:31:08,750 February 3rd, 2023, Billings, Montana. 686 00:31:08,750 --> 00:31:11,375 Military veteran Dolly Mills-Moore 687 00:31:11,375 --> 00:31:13,917 is finishing up her workday when out of the corner 688 00:31:13,917 --> 00:31:17,375 of her eye, she sees something zoom past her window. 689 00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:20,708 Check it out, there's what looks like a trail of smoke 690 00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:22,333 pointing toward the ground, 691 00:31:22,333 --> 00:31:25,750 as if something has crashed or been shot down. 692 00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:29,167 Several seconds in, a flash fills the sky. 693 00:31:29,167 --> 00:31:31,042 She's not sure what to think. 694 00:31:31,042 --> 00:31:32,958 - I was in, you know, shock. 695 00:31:32,958 --> 00:31:36,042 I wasn't sure what I was witnessing or videotaping. 696 00:31:36,042 --> 00:31:38,250 (ehtereal music) 697 00:31:40,708 --> 00:31:43,375 - [Tony] But she suspects it has something to do with 698 00:31:43,375 --> 00:31:46,208 that Chinese high-altitude surveillance balloon, 699 00:31:46,208 --> 00:31:48,833 spotted over Billings just two days earlier. 700 00:31:48,833 --> 00:31:50,875 -

[MJ] In the Malmstrom case, 723 00:32:42,375 --> 00:32:45,292 we have guards outside the facility. 724 00:32:45,292 --> 00:32:48,125 Suddenly this red light appears over the base 725 00:32:48,125 --> 00:32:50,667 and one by one, the nuclear missiles 726 00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:51,958 start getting turned off. 727 00:32:51,958 --> 00:32:54,875 So the launch capability was removed 728 00:32:54,875 --> 00:32:56,583 and the entire system died. 729 00:32:56,583 --> 00:32:59,917 - [Tony] Have those inexplicable UFOs returned? 730 00:33:01,708 --> 00:33:04,667 As you can imagine, the U.S. Air Force shooting down 731 00:33:04,667 --> 00:33:08,208 three unidentified objects in a matter of days 732 00:33:08,208 --> 00:33:11,375 caused quite a buzz among UFO believers. 733 00:33:11,375 --> 00:33:13,708 And get this, when Air Force General 734 00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:16,792 Glen VanHerck was first asked about the shoot downs, 735 00:33:16,792 --> 00:33:20,792 he refused to rule out extraterrestrial involvement. 736 00:33:20,792 --> 00:33:24,458 But what will our experts say about this incident? 737 00:33:24,458 --> 00:33:26,583 (tense music) 738 00:33:28,083 --> 00:33:31,375 We head first to aviation expert Tim McMillan to ask, 739 00:33:31,375 --> 00:33:34,375 could this be a spy balloon getting shot down? 740 00:33:34,375 --> 00:33:37,042 He notes that the City of Billings didn't report the crash 741 00:33:37,042 --> 00:33:39,500 of any such object at the time of the video, 742 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:40,958 nor did the Air Force. 743 00:33:40,958 --> 00:33:44,042 - The US military denies that this is related to any type 744 00:33:44,042 --> 00:33:45,708 of shoot down. 745 00:33:45,708 --> 00:33:47,708 And in order to have a contrail of that nature, 746 00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:51,333 you have to have some type of combustion processes going on. 747 00:33:51,333 --> 00:33:54,125 Balloons do not have any of these features. 748 00:33:54,125 --> 00:33:56,917 - [Tony] So could it be a UFO getting shot down? 749 00:33:56,917 --> 00:33:59,708 - I don't see anything that's otherworldly 750 00:33:59,708 --> 00:34:01,250 about this video whatsoever. 751 00:34:01,250 --> 00:34:03,375 In fact, the exact opposite. 752 00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:06,792 We see something that is extremely consistent 753 00:34:06,792 --> 00:34:10,292 with a vapor trail or contrail from an aircraft 754 00:34:10,292 --> 00:34:11,542 burning off jet fuel 755 00:34:11,542 --> 00:34:15,250 that creates these clouds of condensation. 756 00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:17,333 - [Tony] As for the sudden uptick in UFO, 757 00:34:17,333 --> 00:34:19,500 particularly UFO shoot downs, 758 00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:22,208 we can likely blame enhanced radar. 759 00:34:22,208 --> 00:34:24,542 U.S. officials confirmed that they boosted 760 00:34:24,542 --> 00:34:27,333 radar capabilities and more closely scrutinized 761 00:34:27,333 --> 00:34:29,292 U.S. airspace in the days following 762 00:34:29,292 --> 00:34:32,667 the Chinese spy balloon incident, which likely led 763 00:34:32,667 --> 00:34:37,000 to the increased detection of regular old, airborne clutter. 764 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,333 - Nothing that I see in this video appears 765 00:34:39,333 --> 00:34:42,250 to be inconsistent with a normal contrail 766 00:34:42,250 --> 00:34:45,333 that would be expected from a conventional aircraft, 767 00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:48,458 even though it appears to be going down. 768 00:34:48,458 --> 00:34:50,208 I think that's just an artifact 769 00:34:50,208 --> 00:34:51,708 relative of where you're filming it. 770 00:34:51,708 --> 00:34:54,708 But in reality, it's traveling the curvature of the Earth. 771 00:34:54,708 --> 00:34:58,083 - [Tony] But if it is just a regular, plain contrail, 772 00:34:58,083 --> 00:34:59,833 why don't we see these things all the time? 773 00:34:59,833 --> 00:35:03,250 Meteorologist Juan Hernandez considers the conditions. 774 00:35:03,250 --> 00:35:06,250 - February 3rd, 2023, was a fairly chilly day 775 00:35:06,250 --> 00:35:08,125 in Billings, Montana. 776 00:35:08,125 --> 00:35:09,875 When we look at the satellite view, 777 00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:11,708 clouds covered much of the sky, 778 00:35:11,708 --> 00:35:14,292 which tells me that there is enough humidity 779 00:35:14,292 --> 00:35:16,542 that allowed for the development of contrails. 780 00:35:16,542 --> 00:35:18,875 Well, that leads me to believe that the exhaust 781 00:35:18,875 --> 00:35:23,000 coming out of an airplane is releasing water vapor. 782 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,917 The water vapor freezes fairly quickly 783 00:35:25,917 --> 00:35:27,625 and then creates a cloud. 784 00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:30,917 - [Tony] That doesn't explain the big flash in the sky, 785 00:35:30,917 --> 00:35:32,750 but Hernandez has an idea. 786 00:35:32,750 --> 00:35:36,083 - During cloudy conditions, if you move the camera one way 787 00:35:36,083 --> 00:35:38,708 or another, the newer cameras will try 788 00:35:38,708 --> 00:35:40,333 to adjust for brightness. 789 00:35:40,333 --> 00:35:42,208 And I think that's what we're looking at here. 790 00:35:42,208 --> 00:35:45,208 That bright flash that we saw was the camera 791 00:35:45,208 --> 00:35:47,875 trying to correct for the changes in lighting. 792 00:35:47,875 --> 00:35:50,125 (tense music) 793 00:35:51,583 --> 00:35:55,375 - Our verdict, plain contrail, likely unrelated 794 00:35:55,375 --> 00:35:58,625 to the spy balloon that passed overhead days earlier. 795 00:35:58,625 --> 00:36:01,333 But we're grateful for Dolly's vigilance, nonetheless. 796 00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:06,333 - Finally tonight, let's talk about fairies. 797 00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,917 You might think they're just mythical beings. 798 00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:12,208 You might think they're harmless and well-intentioned, 799 00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:14,208 but this video might be proof 800 00:36:14,208 --> 00:36:17,125 that you're wrong on both counts. 801 00:36:18,250 --> 00:36:21,583 January 2022, Clacton, UK. 802 00:36:21,583 --> 00:36:24,208 A family holidaying at a caravan park 803 00:36:24,208 --> 00:36:26,625 is seeking repose inside their home, 804 00:36:26,625 --> 00:36:29,958 while an infrared security camera records the exterior. 805 00:36:29,958 --> 00:36:32,792 The next morning while checking the motion trigger device, 806 00:36:32,792 --> 00:36:33,833 they see this. 807 00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:39,875 A strange, winged creature flutters 808 00:36:39,875 --> 00:36:41,208 from underneath the porch 809 00:36:41,208 --> 00:36:43,750 and toward the camera before flying away. 810 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:45,042 Let's take another look. 811 00:36:45,042 --> 00:36:47,458 As we slow this down and push in, 812 00:36:47,458 --> 00:36:49,417 let's freeze it right there. 813 00:36:49,417 --> 00:36:52,542 The figure seems humanoid in appearance 814 00:36:52,542 --> 00:36:54,667 with the exception of the wings, of course. 815 00:36:54,667 --> 00:36:57,917 Once posted, this clip immediately went viral, 816 00:36:57,917 --> 00:36:59,417 prompting many people to claim 817 00:36:59,417 --> 00:37:02,833 that this is photographic evidence of a real-life fairy. 818 00:37:04,333 --> 00:37:07,250 - There's something about the way that this thing moves 819 00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:10,208 that doesn't track like an insect, 820 00:37:10,208 --> 00:37:12,625 and people think this was a fairy. 821 00:37:12,625 --> 00:37:14,125 - [Tony] According to McCarthy, 822 00:37:14,125 --> 00:37:16,125 the fact that this video is from the UK 823 00:37:16,125 --> 00:37:17,917 plays right into the fairy legend. 824 00:37:17,917 --> 00:37:21,375 - There's a long history of fairies in the UK. 825 00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:24,583 They were actually first written about in the 13th century 826 00:37:24,583 --> 00:37:27,542 and from pop culture, we're kind of used to this image 827 00:37:27,542 --> 00:37:30,042 of a cute, little sprite that just brings joy. 828 00:37:30,042 --> 00:37:33,667 But that's not what fairies have always been depicted as. 829 00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:36,625 In fact, some people believe that they are ghosts 830 00:37:36,625 --> 00:37:40,458 or spirits, fallen angels or demons. 831 00:37:40,458 --> 00:37:43,042 - [Tony] In fact, the fairy mythos includes all sorts 832 00:37:43,042 --> 00:37:47,167 of nefarious, tiny creatures, like Scotland's redcaps, 833 00:37:47,167 --> 00:37:49,208 murderous, little men with sharp claws 834 00:37:49,208 --> 00:37:51,208 and teeth who would mop up the blood 835 00:37:51,208 --> 00:37:53,333 of their victims using their hats. 836 00:37:53,333 --> 00:37:55,500 - They're not the kind of creatures you would wanna 837 00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:57,958 run into in a dark forest at night. 838 00:37:57,958 --> 00:38:00,667 That said, we of course have the tooth fairy, 839 00:38:00,667 --> 00:38:02,583 who comes and visits children 840 00:38:02,583 --> 00:38:04,583 and plucks their teeth out from under 841 00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:06,167 their pillows after they've lost them 842 00:38:06,167 --> 00:38:08,292 and leaves them a little treat in return. 843 00:38:08,292 --> 00:38:10,708 What does she do with the teeth though? 844 00:38:10,708 --> 00:38:11,917 Makes you wonder. 845 00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:15,500 - Some people have suggested 846 00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:18,500 that the reason the tooth fairy leaves money under pillows 847 00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:21,542 for lost teeth is connected to the Norse Vikings 848 00:38:21,542 --> 00:38:24,667 who would pay gold coins for children's teeth, 849 00:38:24,667 --> 00:38:27,625 fashioning them into necklaces they would then wear 850 00:38:27,625 --> 00:38:29,750 for good luck on the battlefield. 851 00:38:29,750 --> 00:38:32,042 Let's see what kind of luck our experts have 852 00:38:32,042 --> 00:38:34,208 when it comes to cracking this case. 853 00:38:34,208 --> 00:38:36,542 (tense music) 854 00:38:38,708 --> 00:38:41,375 We went to forensic video analyst, Michael Primeau, 855 00:38:41,375 --> 00:38:43,875 to see if this video was even real. 856 00:38:43,875 --> 00:38:46,583 - The way the infrared technology is producing 857 00:38:46,583 --> 00:38:48,625 a reflection onto that object, 858 00:38:48,625 --> 00:38:50,208 it doesn't look like layering to me. 859 00:38:50,208 --> 00:38:52,583 It looks like something is flying in this area 860 00:38:52,583 --> 00:38:54,083 that the infrared is detecting 861 00:38:54,083 --> 00:38:57,292 and the video is trying to capture as best that it can. 862 00:38:57,292 --> 00:38:58,958 And this would be very difficult to fake 863 00:38:58,958 --> 00:39:02,417 because the infrared technology is something that we can't see. 864 00:39:02,417 --> 00:39:05,542 - [Tony] So according to Primeau, this video is legit, 865 00:39:05,542 --> 00:39:07,292 but that doesn't mean it's not misrepresenting 866 00:39:07,292 --> 00:39:08,708 the object's size. 867 00:39:08,708 --> 00:39:11,458 - As you can see here, there's a trail, if you will, 868 00:39:11,458 --> 00:39:13,708 of this object shape behind it. 869 00:39:13,708 --> 00:39:16,250 This is a common symptom of motion blurring 870 00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:18,625 and these are essentially errors in the way 871 00:39:18,625 --> 00:39:20,708 that the file is being created. 872 00:39:20,708 --> 00:39:23,333 What we're seeing here may actually be misrepresenting 873 00:39:23,333 --> 00:39:25,542 the size of the object as well. 874 00:39:25,542 --> 00:39:29,375 - [Tony] We next brought the video to biologist Floyd Hayes. 875 00:39:29,375 --> 00:39:31,667 - As you can see, this little creature here 876 00:39:31,667 --> 00:39:34,000 looks a lot like Tinker Bell. 877 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,958 However, we're not really seeing much in the way 878 00:39:35,958 --> 00:39:38,208 of a head or the arms. 879 00:39:38,208 --> 00:39:40,625 We're seeing legs, but we're not really seeing feet there. 880 00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:43,125 So it doesn't look quite as humanoid 881 00:39:43,125 --> 00:39:44,917 as we might expect with a fairy. 882 00:39:44,917 --> 00:39:48,250 - [Tony] In fact, it's actually the shape of this creature 883 00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:49,542 that leads Hayes to believe 884 00:39:49,542 --> 00:39:51,417 it's something a little more common. 885 00:39:51,417 --> 00:39:53,958 - What I'm seeing here is in between the two wings, 886 00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:57,167 there are two antennae that are sticking out 887 00:39:57,167 --> 00:39:58,708 and that tells me that 888 00:39:58,708 --> 00:40:01,542 this is an insect rather than a fairy. 889 00:40:01,542 --> 00:40:03,958 And because it has long legs, 890 00:40:03,958 --> 00:40:06,875 I believe this is an orthopteran insect, 891 00:40:06,875 --> 00:40:10,208 of the order orthoptera, which includes crickets, 892 00:40:10,208 --> 00:40:12,875 grasshoppers, and katydids. 893 00:40:12,875 --> 00:40:14,583 So, I think this is just a grasshopper 894 00:40:14,583 --> 00:40:16,833 that was on the ground and as it flew up toward the light, 895 00:40:16,833 --> 00:40:19,000 it passed in front of the camera. 896 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,917 Although the large marsh grasshopper's body length 897 00:40:21,917 --> 00:40:23,875 is less than two inches, 898 00:40:23,875 --> 00:40:26,250 it looks larger when it extends its wings 899 00:40:26,250 --> 00:40:29,292 and it dangles its legs downward. 900 00:40:29,292 --> 00:40:31,500 (tense music) 901 00:40:33,042 --> 00:40:35,417 - Our verdict, grasshopper. 902 00:40:35,417 --> 00:40:39,458 The video is legit and Hayes's expert observation 903 00:40:39,458 --> 00:40:42,375 leads us to believe this is just a flying insect 904 00:40:42,375 --> 00:40:44,875 eager for its 15 minutes of fame. 905 00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:47,750 But we'll keep one eye open on the foggy moors 906 00:40:47,750 --> 00:40:51,250 hoping to catch a glimmer of that fairy glow. 907 00:40:51,250 --> 00:40:52,625 And that's our show for this evening. 908 00:40:52,625 --> 00:40:54,792 Thank you so much for watching. 909 00:40:54,792 --> 00:40:56,708 Send us your unexplained videos 910 00:40:56,708 --> 00:41:00,833 and remember to keep those cameras rolling. 911 00:41:00,833 --> 00:41:02,958 (dramatic music)
