00:00A flying disc out by C-17.
00:02Among the quiet towns and bustling epicenters around the world,
00:06reports pour in of unusual aerial phenomena.
00:09It shoots high into the air.
00:11It's moving in an erratic way.
00:14This is not a terrestrial craft.
00:17Flying discs, hovering orbs,
00:19strange biological substances falling from the sky.
00:23To determine what it might have been,
00:25you'd have to eliminate all the other possibilities.
00:28The sensational becomes credible once it's crowdsourced.
00:32Thousands of people claim to see these orbs.
00:36UFO hotspots light up on the map.
00:38What's made these places the target of otherworldly attention?
00:42This might be the location of the vortex.
00:45As vessels reappear in the same locations,
00:48can we use the earthly to guess at otherworldly motives?
00:52Are these mysterious visitors friends or foe?
00:55And should we fear their return?
00:57All over the world, repeat sightings of UFOs baffle researchers.
01:02UAP are in our airspace, but they are grossly underreported.
01:05The pattern begins to emerge.
01:07These sightings are not rare or isolated.
01:09They are routine.
01:10What is the meaning behind these hotspots?
01:12I can't go beyond what I've already stated publicly.
01:14Congress, the government is not prepared.
01:17Are we being mapped?
01:20On a crisp March evening, around 7 p.m.,
01:24the Sloggett family is out for a walk around the quaint town of Bonnie Bridge,
01:29just outside Edinburgh.
01:30A sleepy, picturesque area, the Sloggetts are enjoying the cool evening air,
01:36when suddenly, they become aware of a strange ring of lights hovering over the nearby moor.
01:42A few moments later, Stephen Sloggett starts to make out a football-shaped object in the sky,
01:50and hears a strange whirring sound.
01:52As the bewildered family looks on,
01:56the object swoops down and lands in a nearby field.
02:00Suddenly, a blinding, intense light shines out at them through the forest trees.
02:06Frozen to the spot,
02:08they watch as a door on the side of the craft slides open,
02:11and something within emits an unearthly howl.
02:15Terrified, the Sloggett family make their escape,
02:18running back down the road as fast as they can.
02:22What happened to the Sloggett family sounds something straight out of a movie.
02:29This family must have been absolutely terrified.
02:34I think it's one thing for them to have seen the door open,
02:37but what really sticks in your mind is this unearthly howl, this noise.
02:44This is one of hundreds of reports coming out of similar sightings in Falkirk.
02:49The Falkirk region has one of the highest concentration of UFO sightings in the world.
02:55There were so many UFO sightings in the United Kingdom in the 1940s that in 1950,
03:02the Ministry of Defence set up a dedicated UFO unit to investigate.
03:10Certainly when a government initiates a UFO investigation program or unit,
03:16it adds a certain amount of credence to the stories and the claims,
03:21because the government simply would not do this otherwise.
03:24They wouldn't give resources to something that they think is completely bonked.
03:29In the 1990s, Britain's UFO investigation unit is inundated with reports of sightings from the area
03:37and public outcry intensifies.
03:40Massive gatherings are held with UFO witnesses and concerned locals alike,
03:45filling up entire auditoriums, desperate for answers.
03:48What on earth is going on in the Falkirk Triangle?
03:55Scotland.
03:57A land of breathtaking beauty.
04:00From the rugged grandeur of the highlands
04:03to the serene locks that mirror the sky.
04:07Rolling hills,
04:09dramatic coastlines,
04:11historic castles,
04:13and ancient forests tell stories of a land shaped by time and nature.
04:21What you have in Scottish culture
04:24is this very strong tradition of storytelling
04:29and also a belief in the enchanted,
04:33what we might call the supernatural.
04:36A belief in this kind of close relationship between human beings
04:41and the world of fantasy another realm.
04:47Within these striking landscapes
04:49lies one area with the unique and unsettling history
04:52of peculiar phenomena
04:54that has captured the attention of paranormal skeptics
04:58and believers alike.
05:01Nestled within the lowlands of central Scotland,
05:03the Falkirk Triangle
05:05is the area bordered by the cities of Stirling,
05:08Glasgow,
05:09and Edinburgh.
05:09This area is sometimes called
05:12the Roswell of Scotland.
05:15And Roswell, of course,
05:16is an area in the United States
05:19famous for an alleged UFO-related incident.
05:24It's notorious.
05:25So when you call a place
05:26the Roswell of,
05:28you're basically signaling
05:30that it is an unusually active UFO hotspot.
05:34Since its first major sighting in the late 1970s,
05:39the skies above this area
05:40have evolved into a nexus of the unexplained,
05:43an epicenter of heightened activity
05:46for unidentified flying objects.
05:49Something that is a little different
05:51about sightings coming out of Scotland
05:53and really the British Isles in general
05:55is that they tend to center around encounters
05:59a lot more than just mere sightings.
06:01There have been all kinds of encounters
06:04with alien beings in the Falkirk Triangle.
06:08We've had objects in the sky that hover,
06:11that dart around, that swoop,
06:14but especially encounters with enormous spacecraft.
06:19But it's not only the vast number of UFO sightings
06:23that has garnered international attention.
06:26Even more alarming
06:27are the tales of close encounters of the third kind.
06:33November 9th, 1979.
06:36Bob Taylor, a forestry worker,
06:38is driving down the M8 motorway
06:40that connects Scotland's two largest cities,
06:43Edinburgh and Glasgow.
06:45He parks his pickup truck on the side of the road.
06:48He heads into a densely wooded area
06:51known as Deckmont Law
06:52to check the woods for stray sheep and cattle.
06:56When Bob steps into the clearing,
06:58he's confronted by a large circular sphere,
07:01or what he will later describe as a flying dome,
07:05hovering above the forest floor.
07:07The object is dark and metallic,
07:09with a rough texture like sandpaper,
07:12and is equipped with small propellers on its outer rim.
07:15Bob Taylor was an experienced forestry worker.
07:19He knew this area very well.
07:21So how on earth did he react to seeing something like this?
07:26It must have completely defied his imagination.
07:30Smaller spheres resembling sea mines
07:32drop down from beneath this hovering object,
07:35hit the ground, and start rolling towards him.
07:39Terrified, Bob has no time to react,
07:41and the sea mines start dragging him towards the hovering craft.
07:46Bob's last few memories of the incident
07:48are a strange burning smell,
07:50and a swishing sound before everything went black.
07:55When Bob regains consciousness,
07:57the objects are gone.
07:59Unable to drive,
08:00he walks back to his home in Livingston.
08:02His concerned wife rushes to meet him.
08:04I've been attacked, he tells her,
08:07before breaking down in distress.
08:09Why?
08:10Why is he telling this story?
08:12He doesn't have a history of mental illness.
08:14He's never been into UFOs before.
08:17There's nothing to be gained
08:19from just making this up wholeheartedly.
08:21If you can't see the advantage in making it up,
08:25then it becomes easier to believe
08:27that something actually happened.
08:29As word spreads of Bob Taylor's disturbing encounter,
08:33people start to put out theories
08:35of what may have happened that night.
08:38Patricia Hanford,
08:39founder of the Edinburgh University UFO Research Society
08:43and qualified physician,
08:45floats the theory that Bob suffered an isolated attack
08:48of temporal lobe epilepsy,
08:50and it started to hallucinate.
08:53Oftentimes when you have an epileptic seizure or stroke,
08:56you might smell burning as a prodrome
09:00to what's happening before you pass out,
09:03because in both of those cases,
09:05you're blocking oxygenated blood flow to the brain.
09:08And when you've got low oxygen in those states,
09:10you can also hallucinate in that period of time
09:13when you're not really conscious
09:14before you go completely unconscious.
09:17The thing that was really alarming
09:19about the whole Bob Taylor incident
09:21were the physical evidence
09:24of something having happened.
09:26One of the things was the rips in Bob's pants.
09:31He came back home looking completely bedraggled,
09:34not just as if he'd been beaten up,
09:36but really torn at.
09:38After hearing Bob's account,
09:40his wife calls the police,
09:42making this case the first UFO sighting
09:44in Scotland's history
09:46to be investigated by the authorities.
09:48The vast majority of UFO sightings
09:51are stories of a light in the sky
09:53that doesn't last very long,
09:55and then it's just gone.
09:55And there's very little you can do with that.
09:58But there's a lot more that you can do
09:59with physical evidence,
10:00because, of course, that's what scientists look for.
10:03It's something that they can get their hands on.
10:05It's something tangible
10:06that they can actually measure.
10:08And so any time a UFO story
10:10has some physical evidence to corroborate it,
10:12it's immediately more credible.
10:14It's immediately more interesting.
10:15A police scientist who looked at Bob's pants
10:20came to the conclusion
10:21that these weren't just casual rips
10:24caused by thorns or branches.
10:27These rips were intentionally made
10:30by some kind of hook-like implement
10:33that dug into the pants and ripped.
10:36At the scene, authorities also document marks
10:40and indentations on the ground.
10:42The marks on the ground included
10:44about 40 quite deep holes,
10:48and then these track-like marks
10:49that look like a kind of bulldozer
10:51that have been swishing around all over the place.
10:54While there's a load of track marks
10:56in the area where Bob said
10:58that he saw this dome-like craft,
11:00there are no track marks coming in
11:03or going out of the area,
11:05only in that exact space.
11:09So how do you explain that?
11:10It's very difficult to get a piece of equipment
11:14or anything in the middle of a forest
11:16and not leave evidence of it getting there.
11:18So the fact that we have track marks
11:20but no evidence of how that object
11:23that created those track marks got there
11:25is really, really unusual.
11:26The investigation concluded
11:29that Bob Taylor had indeed been the subject
11:33of a particularly vicious attack.
11:36The only question was, by what?
11:38The police would eventually classify the report
11:41as an assault by a person or persons unknown.
11:45It was shelved pending further evidence.
11:48In the months and years that followed,
11:51alien skeptics and believers alike
11:53would visit the scene of the incident
11:55convinced that a simple explanation could be found.
11:59The author and UFO skeptic Stuart Campbell
12:02looked at the whole Bob Taylor incident
12:05and he believed what had happened
12:07was a phenomenon called black ball lightning
12:11and that this meteorological phenomenon
12:14had spooked Bob Taylor
12:16and he'd had some kind of fit,
12:18maybe an epileptic fit.
12:20Sightings of ball lightning
12:22have been made for centuries around the world.
12:25A fleeting spectacle
12:26that has largely defied explanation.
12:29Everybody has a slightly different explanation
12:32or a different description of it.
12:34So sometimes you have this thing
12:36where it runs around independent
12:39and bounces off of things
12:41and goes through houses.
12:43Other times it just shows up for a second
12:45as a little glow.
12:46So because it is potentially such a rare phenomena,
12:50we haven't really gotten good video evidence of it.
12:54Having said that,
12:55it would have had to last far,
12:58far longer than it actually does.
13:01And unless somehow he were able to stop time,
13:04it's not a good explanation for it.
13:06Seven years later,
13:08Campbell would change his theory
13:10from black ball lightning
13:11to a mirage of Venus
13:13that triggered an epileptic seizure in Taylor.
13:16Optical mirages
13:17are basically a phenomena
13:20that occurs on the Earth's atmosphere
13:22when light passing through the Earth's atmosphere
13:25becomes bent along its path or refracted.
13:29And what this can often manifest
13:31as objects, celestial objects,
13:34appearing like slightly offset or distorted.
13:38One of the most amazing things
13:39about the atmosphere
13:40is how weird it can get.
13:44So you can actually see areas of clouds
13:47which have a very smooth top to them.
13:50Sometimes it's a very smooth bottom,
13:52like to the point you're looking at it going,
13:54that can't be real.
13:55If you're standing in an area
13:57where the humidity is a little bit lower
13:59and everything's clear,
14:00and now you've got this, say,
14:02higher humidity moving up a valley,
14:05yeah, that can be pretty ominous
14:07and look really weird.
14:08And if you have cloud tags
14:10or little scud tags underneath that,
14:12you might see a sea mine thing
14:15dropping out of it.
14:16In reality, it's just the way air moves.
14:19Possible explanations
14:20for the marks and indentations on the ground
14:23were also put forward.
14:24So if we're installing cables
14:27or piping underground,
14:29we often store large amounts of material
14:32in and around the sites
14:33where the installation's going to occur,
14:35and it's often piled up
14:36simply sitting on the ground.
14:38So it can definitely lead to
14:40marks in the ground
14:41that may be interpreted as track marks
14:44when in fact they were just materials
14:47that were left sitting in the ground
14:48and left impressions.
14:50However, none of these theories
14:52explains the rips in Taylor's pants.
14:55Bob Taylor continued to be described
14:57as an honest, reliable man
14:59of good character
15:00throughout the investigations.
15:03He never asked for payment
15:04for telling his version of the events,
15:06and up until his death in 2007,
15:09he remained faithful to his account.
15:12The thing is,
15:12we may never know what happened
15:14on that night to Bob.
15:17It's something that's gone with him
15:19to the grave,
15:20but it does appear
15:21that something very mysterious occurred.
15:30After Bob Taylor's
15:31famous close encounter in 1979,
15:35UFO sightings in the Falkirk Triangle
15:37seemed to dwindle.
15:39That is,
15:40until the early 1990s,
15:42when a major shift occurs.
15:44Interest in UFOs
15:45definitely goes in cycles.
15:48There are decades and periods
15:50when interest is very, very high,
15:52and then there's other periods
15:53when it's much, much lower.
15:55You can trace that history over time.
15:57It comes in waves.
15:58When the government
16:00is particularly interested
16:01or when it's especially in the media,
16:04anytime you see something coming out
16:06as a movie or a TV show,
16:09sightings tend to shoot up.
16:10January, 1992.
16:15Businessman James Walker
16:16is driving home from work
16:18on a country road near Falkirk
16:20that he travels almost every day.
16:22As he heads down the road,
16:25he notices some strange
16:26and unfamiliar lights in the sky.
16:30Ready to dismiss them as stars,
16:32he does a double take
16:34as he sees them start to move.
16:36Stopping his car,
16:38Walker watches in wonder
16:40as the lights dance around
16:42in a celestial ballet.
16:44Then, just as quickly,
16:46they stop and hover
16:47in a giant triangle
16:48that hangs silently overhead.
16:51Fear overcoming his curiosity,
16:53Walker flees the scene
16:55at breakneck speed.
16:57Just a few months later,
16:59the Sloggett family
17:00would have their close encounter
17:01in the same region.
17:02These two major sightings
17:05in early 1992
17:06kick off a UFO frenzy
17:09and by the mid-90s,
17:11it reaches fever pitch.
17:13In the 1990s,
17:14we start to see
17:15hundreds of accounts
17:16of these UFO sightings
17:18happening in Falkirk.
17:19The Falkirk Triangle
17:21quickly gains
17:22international notoriety
17:23as one of the most
17:25prolific UFO hotspots
17:27in the entire world.
17:29Britain's official
17:30reporting center
17:30for UFO sightings
17:31is flooded with calls.
17:34Various accounts
17:35of these sightings
17:36include seeing
17:37lots of different
17:39colored lights in the sky,
17:40red and white,
17:42darting around,
17:43but also forming
17:44these triangle shapes.
17:46But one such account
17:48goes beyond
17:49a mere sighting.
17:51August 1992,
17:54on a dark evening,
17:55ambulance technician
17:56Gary Wood
17:57and his friend
17:58Colin Wright
17:59are traveling
18:00from Edinburgh
18:00to Tarbracks,
18:02a small village
18:03in South Lanarkshire.
18:05What should have been
18:06a roughly 30-minute journey
18:08is suddenly interrupted
18:10when they notice
18:11a strange hovering object
18:12in the sky.
18:17As they stop to stare
18:18in wonder,
18:19a curtain of white light
18:21appears in front of the car.
18:23Then,
18:23everything goes black.
18:27The two friends wake up,
18:29what they perceive
18:30to be minutes later,
18:31with the car facing
18:32in the opposite direction
18:33on the wrong side
18:34of the road.
18:36But it isn't until
18:37they arrive
18:38at their friend's house
18:39that they realize
18:40that their 30-minute trip
18:41has taken them
18:42two hours.
18:44When we're conscious,
18:45we actually have no sense
18:46of how much time is passing.
18:48We evolved
18:49as diurnal creatures,
18:50so we judge
18:51the time of day
18:52with light levels.
18:54And yet,
18:55this is at night.
18:56They have none
18:57of that sense.
18:57So when they pass out
18:58and they wake up,
18:59the first thing is like,
19:00how long were we out?
19:01And if one of them
19:03feels like,
19:03oh, you know,
19:04it's just seconds
19:05because they can remember
19:06what happened before
19:07and they remember waking up,
19:08you don't really know.
19:10They contact police.
19:12But without evidence
19:13of an actual crime
19:14being committed,
19:15they are unable
19:16to investigate.
19:17They contact doctors,
19:19universities,
19:20and psychologists.
19:22But it's not until
19:22they finally turn
19:23to a hypnotist
19:24that new
19:25and very disturbing
19:26details start to emerge.
19:29When you have
19:29a traumatic event,
19:30sometimes the shock
19:31means you don't remember
19:32what happened.
19:33And you can use
19:34methods like hypnosis
19:35to bring those memories back.
19:38Gary and Colin
19:39reported seeing
19:40strange creatures
19:41and then experiencing
19:43a pain
19:43like an intense
19:45electric shock.
19:47Then they describe
19:47being in a room
19:49and like so many
19:51classic abduction scenarios,
19:53the aliens proceed
19:54to examine
19:55these individuals.
19:58They also describe
19:59red-hot,
20:01poker-like objects
20:02being put into their eyes
20:04during this examination.
20:06We get the classic
20:08description of the alien,
20:09which is of having
20:11large gray eyes
20:13and of being
20:14of a whitish gray color.
20:16Gary describes
20:17one of the creatures
20:18speaking to him
20:19and the creature
20:20says something
20:21very strange.
20:22We are already here.
20:23We are coming here.
20:25Despite mounting
20:27clinical evidence
20:28supporting the effectiveness
20:29of hypnosis
20:30in changing certain behaviors,
20:32when it comes
20:33to memory retrieval,
20:34it remains
20:35highly controversial.
20:36The biggest concern
20:38is its imaginative potential,
20:41its ability
20:41to create
20:42or implant
20:43false memories.
20:44The suggestion
20:45to recall
20:46causes people
20:47to imagine
20:48scenarios
20:49rather than
20:50report accurately
20:51what they've experienced.
20:53One of the ways
20:53that you try
20:54to recover
20:54a lost memory
20:55about an event
20:56is that you try
20:57to prime them
20:58with little bits
20:59of information
21:00about that event
21:01and ask,
21:02you know,
21:02did you see this?
21:03Did this happen?
21:04The idea behind that
21:05is the memory
21:06is a network
21:07of all these different pieces
21:08for that event
21:09and if you can latch
21:11onto one part of it,
21:12you can use that
21:14to pull the rest
21:14of the memory to you.
21:16What did you see?
21:18Did you see aliens?
21:20Well, I saw something
21:21that looked, you know,
21:22tall, gangly, and gray
21:23but sort of like a person.
21:25This is a depiction
21:26that's happened
21:26in media and publicity
21:28for a long time
21:29of what the aliens,
21:30you know,
21:31in Area 51
21:32and other places
21:33look like.
21:33Can you remember
21:35lying on your back?
21:36Yeah, I can.
21:37Can you remember
21:38lying on a table?
21:39Well, you might have
21:40memories of lying
21:41on tables in the past
21:42and then, you know,
21:44are there bright lights
21:44above you?
21:45Do you feel pain?
21:46Anything you've experienced
21:47can then be added
21:48from your own memories
21:49but instead of them
21:51being along
21:51the same thread,
21:52you're actually stitching
21:54pieces of different
21:56memories together
21:57to create something
21:58that didn't actually happen.
22:00Research has also found
22:02that people who have
22:03been hypnotized
22:04tend to feel confident
22:05that their projected
22:06memories are more accurate
22:07than they were beforehand,
22:09that hypnosis can affirm
22:11or validate false memories.
22:13A few years after
22:15their incident,
22:16Gary and Colin
22:17pass a televised polygraph test
22:19that confirms their own belief
22:21in the experience.
22:23Well, the weakness
22:23of the polygraph test
22:25lies in the fact that
22:26if you really believe
22:28something to be true
22:29and you take the polygraph test,
22:31it's going to be seen
22:32as true.
22:34And maybe these two people
22:37really, really believe
22:38that they had this experience.
22:41As UFO mania
22:43in Falkirk ramps up,
22:45so does the intense speculation
22:47as to why extraterrestrials
22:49might be drawn
22:50to this particular area.
22:53Theories are put forward
22:54that the thinning
22:55between worlds
22:56is more fragile
22:57in the Falkirk Triangle
22:58than anywhere else
22:59in the UK
23:00or perhaps the world.
23:03Some people begin
23:04to theorize
23:05that it could be
23:05an ideal slipping point
23:07between different dimensions
23:08or parallel universes.
23:11Scotland is a surprising place
23:13when you think of it
23:14in the context of UFOs
23:16because we don't typically
23:18associate Scotland
23:19with UFOs.
23:21There's a really,
23:22really interesting overlap
23:23between UFOs
23:25and this futuristic technology
23:27and the ancient sites
23:28that people otherwise
23:30know the area for.
23:31And there's plenty of stories
23:32and theories out there
23:33about how these things
23:34cross over.
23:36Approximately 240 kilometers
23:38from the Falkirk Triangle
23:40lies the infamous Loch Ness.
23:43The Loch Ness monster
23:44is a cryptid
23:46known the world over.
23:48That is a creature
23:49which cannot be
23:50logically,
23:52rationally explained.
23:53that's said to live
23:54in this huge stretch
23:56of water in Scotland.
23:59The creature affectionately
24:00nicknamed Nessie
24:01is one of the most
24:03legendary examples
24:04of cryptozoology.
24:06It's something
24:07that looks like
24:08a plesasaur.
24:09It's a kind of dinosaur-like
24:11aquatic creature.
24:13Vast in size,
24:15a huge trunk,
24:16massive flippers,
24:18elongated neck.
24:20I mean,
24:20it comes in
24:21different variations,
24:22sometimes multiple humps,
24:24sometimes one big hump,
24:25but it's that kind of thing.
24:28The legend gained
24:29significant attention
24:30in the early 20th century
24:32with sporadic eyewitness accounts
24:34and one iconic image
24:35which circulates
24:36around the world.
24:38In 1934,
24:39an English physician
24:40called Robert Kenneth Wilson
24:42takes what is probably
24:44the iconic photograph
24:47of the Loch Ness monster.
24:49It's no swan.
24:50This is definitely
24:51a dinosaur.
24:53The surgeon's photograph,
24:55as it becomes known,
24:57attracts huge controversy
24:58with as many detractors
25:00and skeptics
25:01as there are believers.
25:03Laterally,
25:04Ron Halliday,
25:05a renowned Scottish
25:06paranormal investigator,
25:07suggests that Loch Ness
25:09may be a portal
25:10into a different dimension
25:11and that people
25:12could be seeing
25:13a dinosaur
25:13that existed in the past
25:15and that has somehow
25:16slipped into the present.
25:18A similar theory
25:19suggests that Ness
25:20may live
25:20in a parallel universe,
25:22similar to the concept
25:23of the upside down
25:25in the TV show
25:26Stranger Things.
25:27One possible interpretation
25:29of where things
25:32like UFOs
25:33or cryptids
25:33are coming from
25:34has been called
25:35the many worlds interpretation
25:36or the multiverse.
25:37The multiverse theory
25:39is considered
25:40one of the most
25:41controversial theories
25:42in science.
25:44The details are often argued
25:46in the context
25:46of other major concepts
25:48like string theory
25:49and quantum mechanics.
25:51The multiverse theory
25:53argues that
25:54it's possible
25:55that our universe
25:56is just one of many universes
25:58that exist
25:59in a greater,
26:00higher dimensional space.
26:02One thing that's argued
26:03is that these other universes
26:05could have
26:06very different properties.
26:07including different laws,
26:09different constraints,
26:11different characteristics,
26:12potentially even
26:13different versions
26:13of ourselves.
26:15One high profile person
26:16who has explicitly
26:18made this connection
26:19in 2020
26:20was a former director
26:21of French intelligence,
26:23Alain Juliette,
26:24who said very clearly
26:25that he thought
26:26this is exactly
26:27where UFOs
26:28are coming from.
26:30Over the years,
26:31there have been
26:32various attempts
26:33at trying to prove
26:34or disprove
26:35the wide range
26:36of theories
26:36regarding the mystical
26:37Loch Ness Monster.
26:39Over the years,
26:40there have been
26:41many sonar explorations
26:43in search of
26:43the Loch Ness Monster.
26:45However,
26:46none of them
26:47have been successful.
26:48The difficulty
26:49with the Placisaur theory
26:51in relation
26:51to the Loch Ness Monster
26:53is that if we're assuming
26:55that these creatures
26:56have existed
26:57in the Loch
26:58for centuries,
27:00for millennia,
27:01then you'd expect
27:02to find bones
27:03and there are no bones.
27:06In 2018,
27:07scientists conducted
27:08a DNA survey
27:09to see what types
27:11of organisms
27:11lived in Loch Ness.
27:13There was no evidence
27:14of a plesiosaur
27:16or any other large animals
27:17found in Loch Ness.
27:19Instead,
27:20they found a large quantity
27:21of eels.
27:23This opens the possibility
27:24that the Loch Ness
27:25could just be
27:26an oversized eel.
27:28In 1993,
27:29the surgeon's photograph
27:30of 1934
27:32was finally revealed
27:33as a hoax,
27:34but this has not deterred
27:36thousands of Nessie hunters
27:37who make the pilgrimage
27:38to the world's
27:39most famous loch
27:40every year.
27:42Due to the lack of evidence
27:43around the Loch Ness Monster,
27:45there are people
27:46who still believe
27:47that it could be
27:48otherworldly.
27:49Standing tall
27:55against shifting skies
27:57on a windswept landscape,
27:59the Scottish stone circles
28:00of Calanish
28:01on the Isle of Lewis
28:02and Stennis in Orkney
28:04are two of Scotland's
28:06most ancient
28:06architectural marvels.
28:09Erected 5,000 years ago,
28:11they bear silent witness
28:12to Scotland's history
28:14and mystery
28:15and could offer clues
28:17to the otherworldly
28:18connections
28:18of the Falkirk Triangle.
28:20I'm never actually
28:21that surprised anymore
28:22when I hear that
28:23within an area
28:25like the Falkirk Triangle
28:26where weird stuff
28:27is being reported
28:28that there is
28:28a stone structure
28:29of some kind.
28:30They seem to go
28:31hand in hand.
28:32On the Isle of Lewis,
28:34we have this
28:35enigmatic circle
28:37of 13 stones.
28:40We don't know
28:40what they mean,
28:41what they signify,
28:43what was their
28:44ritualistic purpose.
28:46These are the oldest
28:48known stone henges
28:49in the British Isles.
28:51Maybe they are areas
28:52where people
28:53buried their dead.
28:55They could be areas
28:56of ceremonial
28:57or ritual purposes
28:58or even a place
28:59of social gathering.
29:01But other theories
29:02suggest a more
29:04cosmic connection.
29:05A couple of theories
29:06have been proposed
29:07to explain
29:08some of the strangeness
29:09around the stone circle.
29:11It might be the case
29:12that extraterrestrials
29:14helped to build this
29:15or simply that
29:17it's a beacon of sorts.
29:19If there is another
29:20race coming here,
29:21they're using it
29:22to navigate to Earth.
29:24Proponents of its
29:25intergalactical origins
29:26hold the belief
29:27that the stone circle's
29:29advanced engineering
29:30surpassed human capability
29:315,000 years ago.
29:34When we think about
29:35Neolithic periods
29:36and what people had
29:38at their disposal
29:39to move large objects,
29:41there really isn't much.
29:43Those people don't have
29:45iron tools
29:46to cut these stones.
29:47They don't have
29:48wheeled carts.
29:50They don't have
29:51a lot of the technology
29:52that we take for granted.
29:54Also in that period,
29:56most people
29:56are subsistence living.
29:59They're basically
29:59growing their own food.
30:01They're making sure
30:02that they can feed themselves.
30:03To take time out
30:06to construct
30:07such large structures,
30:08it really is
30:09a massive undertaking.
30:11In 2016,
30:14archaeologists
30:15from the University
30:16of Adelaide
30:16publish a study
30:17that unveils
30:18new insights
30:19into the origins
30:20of these stone storytellers.
30:22The study presents
30:23evidence that
30:24Scotland's two oldest
30:25stone circles
30:26were deliberately
30:27assembled
30:28to align with
30:29the orbits
30:29of the sun
30:30and the moon.
30:31Using 2D
30:32and 3D technology,
30:34researchers are able
30:35to test the alignment
30:36patterns in the circles,
30:38leading to the
30:39scientific conclusion
30:40that these ancient
30:41standing stones
30:42were built
30:43to connect
30:43the Earth
30:44to the stars.
30:45This discovery
30:46that the stone circle
30:48is aligned
30:49with certain
30:49planetary motions
30:50is fascinating.
30:51For thinking about
30:52the involvement
30:53or the potential
30:54involvement
30:55of extraterrestrials,
30:57you have to ask,
30:58is this in some way
30:59connected?
31:00Is this part
31:02of some kind
31:03of homing beacon?
31:04What is the nature
31:05of the energy here?
31:07What is the actual
31:08purpose of this?
31:12Within the UK
31:13lies another series
31:15of towering
31:15megalithic stones
31:16that has been
31:17at the centre
31:18of otherworldly
31:19theories for millennia.
31:26Stonehenge
31:27is one of the most
31:27famous archaeological
31:28sites in the world.
31:30This place
31:31has puzzled
31:31people for centuries.
31:35Was it a place
31:36where people came
31:37to be healed
31:37like at Lourdes?
31:39Was it a place
31:40of ritual,
31:41even sacrifice?
31:43Was it some kind
31:44of astronomical guise
31:46that showed people
31:47the different phases
31:48of the year?
31:49Nobody really knows
31:51for sure.
31:52I think it does
31:53strengthen the case
31:54for the Falkirk Triangle
31:55as a place
31:56of high strangeness
31:57that it is in such
31:59proximity to Stonehenge.
32:01And we've known
32:01for a long time
32:02that there's something
32:03weird about Stonehenge.
32:04Many assert
32:06that Stonehenge
32:07might serve as a
32:08landing pad
32:08for intergalactical
32:10spacecraft
32:10and strange accounts
32:12in the area
32:13have only strengthened
32:14such theories.
32:16In 2009,
32:17there was these
32:18photographs that
32:19were published
32:19in January
32:20and you see
32:21this speck of light
32:23above Stonehenge
32:24and witness statements
32:26speculated
32:27that they saw
32:27this disc-like
32:29shape hovering
32:30over the monument.
32:31In 2023,
32:33a man who claimed
32:35to work there
32:36said that he saw
32:37this shape-shifting
32:38UFO fly over
32:39the monument.
32:41If Stonehenge
32:43had been built
32:44with the help
32:45or directly by
32:46extraterrestrials,
32:48why would they have
32:49created such a structure?
32:52Could it have been
32:53something to assist them
32:54with navigation,
32:56with communication
32:57back home?
32:58Could it even have
33:00been a portal,
33:01one of these gateways
33:02to a wormhole
33:04across space and time?
33:06These are the various
33:07theories that people
33:08have put forward
33:09to explain
33:10why beings
33:11from another planet
33:12may have created
33:13Stonehenge.
33:17560 kilometers
33:18north of Stonehenge,
33:19near the borders
33:20of the Falkirk Triangle,
33:22lies Roslyn Chapel,
33:24a centuries-old building
33:25hailed as one
33:26of the most beautiful
33:27and curious pieces
33:29of architecture
33:29on the planet.
33:32Roslyn Chapel
33:33is a really mysterious
33:36medieval building.
33:38I would liken it
33:38almost to
33:39the most ornate
33:41wedding cake
33:42you've ever seen.
33:43It's so
33:44ridiculously detailed.
33:46It's like nothing
33:47you see anywhere else
33:49in Scotland
33:49or Britain
33:50or even the world
33:51for that matter.
33:52Gothic carvings
33:54in the chapel
33:54are said to resemble
33:55reptilian aliens.
33:58Others appear to depict
33:59examples of knowledge
34:00in use before its time.
34:03The one thing
34:04that is very striking
34:06in Roslyn Chapel
34:08is this pillar
34:09that's called
34:10the Apprentice Pillar.
34:12It's like nothing
34:13you will find
34:14in any other church
34:16of that period.
34:17And it has
34:18this unusual design
34:20which looks
34:21like a DNA string
34:22that's going
34:24up the pillar.
34:26Nobody can explain
34:27what this is
34:28and it looks like
34:30something that we
34:31would associate
34:32with modern scientific
34:33knowledge.
34:35The story that's told
34:36is that it was
34:37a rogue mason
34:39who built it
34:40and in fact
34:41he was killed
34:42by the master mason
34:43for having done this
34:45without his orders.
34:46It is very strange
34:48and it's clearly
34:49trying to convey
34:50something.
34:52Another thing
34:52that's very strange
34:53in this church
34:54is the appearance
34:56of what looks like
34:57maize and aloe vera,
34:59basically plants
35:00that did not
35:01exist in Europe
35:03before Christopher Columbus
35:04went to the New World
35:06and brought those
35:07plants back.
35:09Nestled within the
35:10chapel's architecture
35:11is another nod
35:13to otherworldly design
35:14and it involves
35:15the science
35:16of cymatics,
35:18a field of study
35:19that focuses
35:19on visible vibrations
35:21and sounds.
35:23One of the most
35:23striking things
35:24that you see
35:25in the ceiling
35:26are these
35:28kind of blocks
35:29that form rows
35:31and it's very difficult
35:32to make up
35:33what exactly they are
35:34but each of the blocks
35:35is carved
35:36slightly differently.
35:38One theory
35:39about these stone blocks
35:40is that they are
35:41actually musical notes.
35:45Basically,
35:46by deciphering them,
35:48you can play
35:49a piece of music.
35:50This represents
35:51an understanding
35:52of acoustics,
35:54of science,
35:55that was way ahead
35:56of the time
35:57when the chapel
35:58was built.
36:00So, for people
36:01to have known that,
36:02they would have had
36:03to have been informed
36:04by somebody
36:05with future knowledge.
36:07Well, that begs
36:08the question,
36:09who?
36:09Some believe
36:11that recreating
36:12these frequencies
36:13is key to uncovering
36:15and perhaps even opening
36:16the chapel's presumed portal
36:18to another universe.
36:20Is it something
36:21that was intended
36:22to be played
36:23that would send out
36:24a signal
36:25that extraterrestrials
36:27will be able
36:28to pick up on?
36:30Is it some kind
36:31of message
36:32or beacon
36:33that could be sent out
36:34at a particular time?
36:36Today,
36:36people have tried
36:37and failed
36:38to recreate
36:39the frequency
36:39at Roslyn Chapel.
36:41So, it still remains
36:43a mystery.
36:43By the late 1990s,
36:51frustrated that there
36:52is still no explanation
36:54for the vast number
36:55of UFO reports
36:56in the Falkirk Triangle,
36:58Bonnie Bridge
36:58Counselor
36:59Billy Buchanan
37:00of Falkirk
37:01District Council
37:02writes to
37:02Prime Minister
37:03Tony Blair
37:04demanding the phenomenon
37:05be investigated.
37:06For five years,
37:09the people
37:10both you and I represent
37:11have witnessed
37:12a phenomenon
37:13in the area
37:13that has been
37:14left unexplained.
37:16I wrote to your predecessor,
37:17John Major.
37:19I have also contacted
37:20our local MP,
37:21Dennis Canavan,
37:22who put me in contact
37:23with the MOD,
37:24who told me
37:25quite strongly
37:26that nothing was happening
37:27in Bonnie Bridge
37:28that was a threat
37:29to national security.
37:30I have tried
37:31to get an answer
37:32for the people
37:33and have been ridiculed
37:34for it.
37:35I appeal to you,
37:36Mr. Blair,
37:37to get the phenomenon
37:38investigated.
37:41Unfortunately for
37:42some of these
37:43letter writers,
37:43for these ufologists,
37:44these advocates,
37:46a fairly typical response
37:47that they will
37:48sometimes receive
37:49from the government
37:50is that the government
37:52is not interested
37:52in this,
37:53and more specifically
37:54that they don't see
37:55any grounds
37:56to actually investigate this.
37:57And so this was the case
37:58with Buchanan,
37:59and he eventually
37:59got a letter
38:00saying that the government
38:01was not going to
38:02pursue this anymore
38:03because they frankly
38:05didn't see a point.
38:07In 2009,
38:09after nearly 60 years
38:10of official research
38:11and investigation,
38:13Britain's Ministry of Defense
38:14officially axes
38:15its UFO department
38:17in a wider series
38:18of defense cuts.
38:20This was certainly
38:20another blow
38:21to Buchanan's work
38:23and those like him
38:24who were pushing
38:25the government
38:26to take this seriously.
38:27A few months later,
38:29the MOD releases
38:30a slew of previously
38:32classified files
38:33of reports
38:34of historic
38:34UFO sightings,
38:36several of which
38:37had occurred
38:37in the Falkirk area.
38:39The files contained
38:40verbal and drawn accounts
38:42of UFO encounters
38:43across Scotland,
38:45including reports
38:45of flying Toblerones
38:47and objects traveling
38:48at 1,700 kilometers per hour
38:50across the Scottish sky.
38:52For the first time,
38:54the public also had visibility
38:56of the astounding volume
38:57of reports
38:58in possession
38:58of the authorities.
38:59One really interesting outcome
39:02is the change
39:03that some researchers
39:04tracked in the sighting reports
39:07of UFOs
39:08and particularly
39:08their appearance
39:09and their shape.
39:11Originally,
39:11UFO sightings
39:12often talked about
39:13flying saucers,
39:14disks,
39:15spheres.
39:16Then they went to
39:17cylinders
39:18and longer,
39:20rounder shapes.
39:21And then we've got
39:22these lights
39:23that are forming triangles.
39:24Why is this changing
39:26over time?
39:27Some people go
39:28the route of claiming
39:29that they have
39:31upgraded their craft,
39:32basically.
39:33They have different designs
39:34in modern days
39:36than they did
39:36back in the 40s.
39:39I tend towards
39:40the conclusion
39:41that this actually
39:42reflects more
39:43what we think
39:44about the craft ourselves.
39:46The depiction
39:47in media changes
39:48over time,
39:49and this could be
39:50part of one of the reasons
39:51why people are trying
39:52to interpret
39:53what they're seeing
39:54and their interpretations
39:55are based on their experience
39:56and what they've seen before.
40:00Flying saucers
40:01have invaded our planet.
40:03A lot of
40:04the early UFO sightings
40:06are kind of around
40:08the time
40:08when science fiction
40:09comes to the forefront.
40:11We start to get images
40:12of what we think
40:13rockets and spaceships
40:14are going to look like,
40:15and that permeates
40:16people's subconscious,
40:18and we start thinking
40:18about flying saucers.
40:20As time progresses,
40:23science fiction morphs
40:24and spaceships
40:25no longer look like
40:27flying discs.
40:27They look more like aircraft.
40:30Fast forward
40:30to more modern times,
40:32and we start seeing
40:33these black triangular objects.
40:35And now,
40:36when you look at
40:37the development
40:38of military aircraft,
40:40and specifically
40:40stealth aircraft,
40:42what we see
40:42are flying wings,
40:44which are essentially
40:45aircraft that
40:46have a very triangular shape.
40:49And additionally,
40:50to make them
40:51more stealthy,
40:52they're often
40:53painted black
40:54and use radar-absorbing
40:55materials,
40:56which are often
40:56black themselves.
40:57And that's what
40:58UFO observers
40:59may be seeing
41:00in the change
41:01from the 1950s
41:03to more modern era.
41:05Although the MOD
41:06closed its UFO
41:07investigation unit
41:08in the late 90s,
41:10the sightings
41:10in the Falkirk Triangle
41:12continue unabated.
41:13In August of 2022,
41:17Mason Anderson
41:18is sitting in the garden
41:19with his wife
41:20when he observes
41:21something flashing
41:22in the sky
41:23above Falkirk Town Center.
41:25It appears to morph
41:26into a group
41:27of stationary flashing lights,
41:29but Mason can't see
41:30any solid object
41:31in the sky
41:32with his naked eye.
41:34Curious,
41:35he grabs his binoculars
41:36and makes out
41:37a cigar-shaped object,
41:39which appears
41:40to be rotating
41:41on the spot.
41:41He watches
41:43as the object,
41:44which he describes
41:45as medium grey,
41:46hangs around
41:47for about 30 minutes
41:48before tearing off
41:50through the sky.
41:52As there's no UFO unit
41:54to investigate
41:55these kind of sightings
41:56anymore,
41:57Mason Anderson
41:58approaches
41:59Malcolm Robertson,
42:01who is a UFO hunter
42:03who had a high profile
42:05in Scotland
42:06in the 1990s.
42:08Malcolm Robertson
42:09believes that 95%
42:11of these UFO sightings
42:12are explainable.
42:14There are two military airbases
42:16within 50 miles
42:17of the Falkirk Triangle,
42:19as well as two busy airports
42:21in the neighbouring cities
42:22Edinburgh and Glasgow.
42:25And a lot of the aircraft
42:26that are destined
42:26for Europe and points east
42:28will come in over Scotland.
42:30So there's not only
42:31the aircraft that's local
42:32at Glasgow and Edinburgh
42:33and the two air force bases,
42:34there's also a lot
42:36of high-level traffic.
42:37Could this be the reasons
42:38why people claim
42:39to see so many things
42:40in the sky?
42:41We have to pose
42:42the question
42:43whether or not
42:44a lot of these UFO sightings
42:47are actually
42:49what we term
42:50black-budget technology,
42:52in other words,
42:53top-secret aircraft
42:55the public
42:55is not allowed
42:56to know about,
42:57and so are left
42:59believing
43:00may be aircraft
43:02run by extraterrestrials.
43:04Where we have
43:05military bases
43:06we often have
43:08aircraft that are
43:09not familiar
43:10to everybody.
43:11They're often
43:12moving on trajectories
43:14that don't match
43:15with civilian aircraft.
43:17And they're often
43:17at strange hours too,
43:19so they're often
43:20doing manoeuvres
43:21at dusk or at night,
43:23flying low,
43:24flying in formation.
43:25All of these things
43:27can lead to observers
43:28interpreting
43:30military aircraft
43:31as UFOs.
43:33The ones that
43:34defy explanation
43:35are the sightings
43:37that Malcolm Robinson
43:38returned home
43:39to Scotland
43:39after 23 years
43:41living in England
43:41to try to solve.
43:43His investigations
43:44and those of his
43:46fellow UFO
43:47and paranormal
43:47investigators
43:48in the Falkirk region
43:49continue to this day.
43:51There's been no let-up
43:53in the number
43:53of sightings
43:54in the Falkirk triangle,
43:56so we still have people
43:58claiming to see
43:59UFOs in town centers,
44:02in remote areas,
44:04next to bogs,
44:05on mountains,
44:07wherever.
44:07They're still
44:08having contact
44:10with UFOs
44:11all over
44:12the Falkirk triangle.
44:14If otherworldly entities
44:16are truly being drawn
44:18to the Falkirk triangle,
44:20it seems they have found
44:21no reason
44:22to stop now.
44:23No reason
44:23to stop now.
44:51What's the thing about
44:53is that the one
44:54where we are
44:55in the dark
44:55of the Falkirk
44:56are also being drawn
44:59to the Falkirk triangle,
45:01and the Falkirk triangle.
45:01It seems to be
45:03Labrall,
45:03it seems to be
45:04an unknown
45:05that is the leading
45:06of the Falkirk triangle.
45:06And if it turns out
45:08over the Falkirk triangle,
45:09there's Cropirk triangle,
45:10but it seems to be
45:11the future of Falkirk triangle.
45:12There are two
45:13more features
45:13in the Falkirk triangle,
45:14there are a lot
45:15of the Falkirk triangle,
45:15but it seems to be
45:17what it is in the
45:18game.
45:18There are two
45:19that come
