00:00Tonight on The Proof is Out There, Alien Edition.
00:04A strange sphere hovers silently above a house.
00:08Are extraterrestrials secretly watching us?
00:11Just kind of suspended up there in the air.
00:13No propulsion, no engine, no noise.
00:15Doesn't it look like it's flying with it?
00:18Yeah, it's going weird, yeah.
00:20Two bright orbs appear after a rocket launches.
00:23Could aliens be following our spacecraft?
00:26Some might wonder whether extraterrestrials
00:28are getting concerned that we're starting
00:30to really encroach on their territory.
00:33And are probes being sent from another world
00:35disguised as something else?
00:37We thought, okay, this can't be like a normal drone.
00:41This is a UFO, so I'm sorry.
00:44With UFO reports at an all-time high,
00:47we're examining the most compelling evidence
00:49caught on camera.
00:50Tonight's focus, alien surveillance.
00:53Our experts will analyze the evidence
00:56and then pass a verdict.
00:58Could it be some type of an extraterrestrial craft
01:00and not just a meteorite?
01:02Intelligent life is visiting Earth
01:04and it's masquerading or using meteors
01:07as a form of transportation.
01:09The Proof starts now.
01:18Good evening, everyone, and welcome to The Proof is Out There.
01:21Under a clear night sky, you can expect to see
01:24between two and seven streaks of light
01:26go by each hour on any night of the year.
01:30These flashes are meteorites burning up
01:32in the Earth's atmosphere.
01:33But there are some who believe that in reality,
01:36these meteorites are more than they seem to be.
01:41August 31st, 2019, it's 10.30 p.m.
01:44just outside the city of Edmonton, Canada.
01:46Lincoln Ho is hanging out at a neighbor's house
01:49watching TV when he sees a bright light
01:51flash outside the window.
01:53Lincoln later goes home
01:55and checks his driveway security footage.
01:57And that's when he finds this.
01:59An orb of light screams from the top of the frame,
02:03plummeting toward the house before vanishing.
02:05According to journalist M.J. Benias,
02:07while this phenomenon seems to have all of the hallmarks
02:10of a meteor strike, one thing is missing.
02:13There was no reported impact.
02:16A meteor hitting the Earth is going to make a big boom.
02:19There was no sound, no explosion,
02:21and no one on the news had reported
02:23a meteor hitting Edmonton, Alberta.
02:26But what if we have a meteor that really isn't a meteor?
02:30Benias says one man believes it may be possible.
02:33A very famous Harvard physicist and astronomer
02:36named Avi Loeb has a theory
02:38that intelligent life is visiting Earth
02:41and it's masquerading or using meteors
02:44as a form of transportation.
02:46In 2017, Professor Avi Loeb and others
02:49took notice of a quarter-mile-long cigar-shaped object
02:52that passed through the solar system.
02:54Its glow varied 10 times more reflective
02:56than typical asteroids,
02:57as if it was made of highly polished metal.
03:00It was dubbed Oumuamua, which means scout in Hawaiian.
03:03Loeb suspected it could have been alien tech.
03:06He also insists alien tech
03:08hasn't just approached Earth via meteor.
03:10It actually landed here.
03:12He believes that there is evidence on this planet
03:14that alien civilizations exist
03:17and they've sent their technology here.
03:19In July 2023, Avi Loeb led a $1.5 million expedition
03:24to Papua New Guinea
03:25to retrieve meteor fragments
03:27he believes came from outside the solar system.
03:31Loeb theorizes that pieces of the debris
03:33will be found to be tougher than iron
03:35and should raise questions,
03:37could it be some type of an extraterrestrial craft
03:39and not just a meteorite?
03:40Upon sifting microscopic metallic balls
03:43from the volcanic material on the ocean floor,
03:46Loeb declared them actual evidence of alien tech.
03:50One recent study put the odds of other life in the universe
03:53at 50-50.
03:55But is this object an interstellar vehicle
03:58disguised as a meteor
03:59or something else entirely?
04:01We asked our team of experts to investigate.
04:07Could this bright light simply be something conventional
04:10seen in the skies over cities every night
04:12like a helicopter or a plane?
04:14The only time that you would see an aircraft
04:17of any kind of helicopter that bright
04:19moving through the sky that fast
04:21as if it's in serious trouble and about to crash.
04:23No chopper crashes were reported in that area.
04:26Instead, D'Antonio believes a clue in the video
04:29leads to the answer.
04:30The sky is illuminated behind this house here,
04:33which tells you something important.
04:35That's saying that this is an object big enough
04:37to be beyond these houses
04:40because it's illuminating the sky behind them.
04:42And what could possibly be natural
04:45that looks like that?
04:46Something that we call, in astronomy, a fireball.
04:50Fireballs refer to meteors so bright
04:52they can be seen over great distances.
04:55The intense atmospheric friction
04:57causes gases around the meteor
04:58to compress and superheat,
05:00often disintegrating the meteor
05:02and leaving little evidence on ground.
05:04The regular, typical meteor you see in the night sky,
05:06that quick flash, whoosh,
05:08those are the size of a grain of sand.
05:10And so this is way bigger than a grain of sand.
05:13So you can imagine that the glow created by this
05:16is going to be absolutely colossal.
05:19D'Antonio makes a convincing argument
05:22and one that NASA geologist Bob Anderson agrees
05:24seems likely, at first.
05:27When I first looked at this video,
05:28it was almost a dead giveaway
05:30that it was a meteor that was coming down.
05:32But it's weird to me that there was no sonic boom.
05:35The size of this object,
05:36the brightness of this object,
05:37would have created a sonic boom
05:39somewhere in the atmosphere.
05:46Our verdict?
05:47We're going with unexplained phenomenon.
05:50While our experts have suggested
05:51some very interesting and plausible candidates,
05:54there seems to be a heated debate
05:55about what we've really got.
05:57So without a smoking gun,
05:59we're going to say, for now,
06:01this incident remains a mystery.
06:03But what do you think?
06:05Hit us up on social media and let us know.
06:09Since its first rocket achieved orbit in 2008,
06:13SpaceX has continued to innovate
06:16and push the boundary of space exploration.
06:18And while CEO Elon Musk hopes to bring humans to Mars
06:22as soon as 2029,
06:24video from one SpaceX mission
06:26has raised concerns about what might await us
06:29in the final frontier.
06:32Mission and liftoff.
06:34It's April 23rd, 2021.
06:38SpaceX's spacecraft Endeavor
06:40is on its way to the International Space Station.
06:43Twelve minutes after liftoff,
06:44the capsule containing four astronauts
06:46separates from the rocket's second stage.
06:49But as the crew back at NASA
06:50applauds the successful uncoupling,
06:53the live streamed camera
06:54captures something truly shocking.
06:57A foreign object can be seen
06:59floating through the gap,
07:00missing the craft by mere seconds.
07:02The object is round,
07:03though not a perfect sphere.
07:05And it appears to be black in color,
07:07but its details are shrouded in shadow.
07:10It looks like if they hadn't separated
07:12in the nick of time,
07:13it would have impacted the spacecraft.
07:15And no one knows what it is.
07:17It's not an object anyone was tracking in orbit,
07:20so no one knew that it was going to be there.
07:22One theory that gains traction
07:24is that the object is some sort of scout UFO
07:27that originally came from a larger UFO.
07:30Basically, the idea is that alien craft
07:33are exploring our planet,
07:34and instead of landing with the mothership,
07:37they're launching these small reconnaissance vehicles,
07:40which is not that dissimilar
07:42to how we've explored our own solar system.
07:44Think that's too out there?
07:46Consider that Sean Kirkpatrick,
07:48former head of the Pentagon's UFO office,
07:50and Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb
07:53wrote a paper to support the theory.
07:55But what would be drawing the interstellar attention?
07:58Our use of space used to be just scientific exploration,
08:02but now we've got space tourism,
08:04we've got early militarization.
08:05In fact, 2022 saw a record 180 rocket launches.
08:11Some might wonder whether extraterrestrials
08:14are getting concerned that we're starting
08:16to really encroach on their territory.
08:21SpaceX is reportedly involved
08:23in over half of all near misses in space.
08:26Many of all SpaceX's Starlink project,
08:29an unmanned satellite internet network.
08:32But a near miss with a spacecraft
08:34carrying four astronauts?
08:36Now we're talking about human lives.
08:39So is something targeting our spacecraft?
08:41Our experts are on a collision course with the truth.
08:48Before we embrace an exotic theory like alien space probes,
08:53could this be a hostile act from a rival human military?
08:57In the late 1970s,
08:59the Soviet Union did experiment
09:01with something called the Almaz,
09:03which was putting a 23-millimeter cannon
09:06on one of their satellite systems
09:09to give it an offensive capability.
09:11And in the 1980s,
09:13as part of President Reagan's Star Wars initiative,
09:17was a classified program called Brilliant Pebbles.
09:20The idea behind it was to place
09:22various missile systems in orbit
09:25as a defensive and offensive capability.
09:28Could this foreign object be from a foreign power?
09:32If someone had fired a weapon at the capsule,
09:35we would know,
09:36because a satellite system
09:38that's firing some type of projectiles
09:40would certainly be noticeable
09:41to the other space-based sensor systems
09:44that are already in place.
09:46What about another man-made object,
09:48a satellite?
09:49It's got none of the physical characteristics
09:51of a satellite,
09:52like the large solar cells,
09:54in addition to the fact
09:55that satellite systems
09:57are on known trajectory paths,
09:59and you certainly wouldn't have run the risk
10:02of an impact from the satellite.
10:03So it's definitely not a satellite.
10:05Taking into consideration
10:07this object's organic shape,
10:08we ask astronomer Mark D'Antonio
10:10if it could be a meteor.
10:12This might actually be
10:13about the right size for a meteor.
10:15The only problem is
10:16that meteors hit the Earth
10:17at thousands and thousands of miles per hour.
10:21And this thing is just lazily floating
10:24through the view.
10:25So that wouldn't be the case.
10:26Then could it simply be space junk?
10:29Scientists estimate orbiting the Earth
10:32that there are about 13,000 pieces of debris
10:34bigger than a softball,
10:35100,000 bigger than a penny,
10:38and tens of millions of pieces
10:40even smaller than that.
10:42Space is cluttered.
10:43There could come a time
10:45when it will be very dangerous
10:47for us to try and leave our planet.
10:49But in this particular case,
10:52probably not space junk.
10:54And the reason comes down to the fact
10:55that you can see it passing in front of this,
10:58which is part of the rocket itself.
11:01Phew, that means
11:02this is a small, tiny object
11:05that got loose
11:06probably from the inside of the rocket
11:08during the staging process,
11:09where this stage moves away from this stage.
11:12And Macmillan says
11:13this would explain the radar omission.
11:15That's one reason
11:16that you wouldn't have picked it up
11:18as any type of space junk
11:20is because it actually traveled
11:21with the rocket into space.
11:31Our verdict?
11:32We are leaning toward rocket debris
11:34that broke off from the second stage,
11:36though we can't say for certain
11:38which piece of the rocket it was.
11:40It's sad to hear that pollution
11:42is becoming a problem in space
11:43like it is on Earth.
11:45Thankfully, NASA is well-equipped
11:46to help spacecraft
11:48dodge most of the debris.
11:49with a meticulous catalog
11:51of 27,000 objects
11:53in Earth's orbit.
11:57We see UFOs
11:58in all shapes and sizes
11:59on this show.
12:00But lately,
12:01we've been noticing
12:02a real spike
12:03in spherical UFOs.
12:05Many of these sightings
12:06were captured
12:07by U.S. military cameras.
12:09And this next puzzling video
12:10also purports to show
12:11something spherical
12:12interacting
12:13with American jet fighters.
12:16Should the Pentagon be alarmed?
12:17January 10th, 2023.
12:21A video clip captioned
12:22Nothing to See Here
12:23uploads to social media
12:25and goes viral.
12:27The video appears to show
12:29a dark-colored,
12:30low-flying spherical object
12:32passing over
12:33a remote country road.
12:35Suddenly,
12:35two fighter jets
12:36scream toward the object
12:38in hot pursuit
12:39as the object disappears.
12:41Let's see that again.
12:43The sphere looks to be
12:45only about 15 to 20 feet
12:47off the ground,
12:48which would make it
12:49much smaller in size
12:50than the fighter jets.
12:52The 50s had flying saucers.
12:54The 90s had black triangles.
12:55We live in the era
12:57of the sphere UFO.
13:00There was a hearing
13:01in April of 2023
13:02where Sean Kirkpatrick
13:04presented to Senate
13:06a graph between
13:07the dates of 1996
13:08and 2023,
13:10and 52% of all UFO sightings
13:13that the Arrow office
13:14has been investigating
13:15were made up of spherical
13:16or orb-like UFOs.
13:20While not every orb sighting
13:22is this dramatic,
13:23they can still be quite puzzling.
13:25Case in point,
13:26this footage from
13:27December 19, 2022,
13:29Radmarad Pajowie
13:30is in Mountains Edge, Nevada,
13:32driving home from work.
13:34When he spots something
13:35unusual in the sky,
13:36he pulls over to record it.
13:38The video shows
13:39a perfectly circular,
13:40dark-colored object
13:41hovering high up above a house.
13:44It was a pretty large,
13:46spherical,
13:47definitely spherical,
13:48like, black dot in the sky.
13:51It didn't really have any gloss.
13:52It didn't reflect any light.
13:54Unlike the orb in the first video,
13:56this sphere is completely,
13:58eerily still.
13:59Just kind of suspended
14:00up there in the air.
14:02No propulsion,
14:03no engine,
14:04no noise.
14:05So what are these spheres?
14:07Many seem too small
14:08to carry occupants.
14:10So are they perhaps
14:11some kind of alien probe?
14:12If so,
14:13there may be a surprising reason
14:15why we're seeing so many.
14:17With this uptick
14:18in spherical sightings,
14:19there's been a lot
14:20of internet chatter
14:21about this sort of
14:23science fiction object
14:25called a van Neumann probe.
14:27John von Neumann
14:28was a mathematician
14:29and physicist
14:30who speculated
14:31an advanced civilization
14:32could explore
14:33by creating probes
14:35that build even more probes
14:37from common materials
14:38found on moons and planets
14:39throughout the galaxy.
14:40Van Neumann posited
14:42that if an interstellar species
14:44wanted to essentially
14:47map out a star system
14:48or distant planets,
14:49one probe could replicate itself
14:51as it traveled through space.
14:55Now, while more than half
14:57of UFOs are reported
14:59as round or spheres,
15:01they don't all look
15:03or act the same.
15:04We'll turn it over
15:05to our inner circle
15:06to investigate
15:07these two very different
15:09sphere sightings.
15:14The sphere is located
15:15very close to the ground.
15:17Usually these encounters
15:18take play high up
15:20in the atmosphere
15:21and so there's
15:22something suspicious here.
15:24The object that is
15:26flying at extremely low level,
15:27it's flying underneath
15:28the kind of envelope
15:30that radar would be
15:31operating at
15:32because of how low altitude
15:33it is,
15:34its small size,
15:35and its relatively
15:36slow speed.
15:37But it's that speed
15:38that has astronomer
15:40and video effects designer
15:41Mark D'Antonio
15:42crying foul.
15:43Let's watch that again
15:44because see how it's
15:46moving through the sky
15:46kind of slow
15:49and the jets
15:50are going way fast.
15:51Now, hold on.
15:52If they were going
15:53that fast,
15:54they should have caught up
15:54to it very quickly.
15:56But we didn't see them
15:58catch up to it.
16:00Not only can't the jets
16:02catch the orb,
16:03but the orb suddenly
16:04disappears from sight.
16:06There is one way
16:07it could happen
16:08and that is
16:08if this object
16:09wasn't there at all
16:11and was generated later.
16:12I have to say,
16:13unfortunately,
16:14I don't believe
16:14it was a real video.
16:16That first video
16:17may seem too good
16:18to be true,
16:18but what about
16:19Rad's video?
16:21D'Antonio thinks
16:22he's found the answer
16:23by simply spotting
16:24what the eyewitness
16:25seems to have missed.
16:26Down the bottom here,
16:27you can see there's
16:28this little protrusion
16:29sticking down, okay?
16:31And it doesn't show
16:33until you actually
16:34run the video
16:35and see the video
16:36in motion.
16:36Then you can see it
16:37like right there
16:38is a perfect shot of it.
16:39You can see this
16:39little tiny thing
16:40sticking down.
16:41I think that we're
16:42looking at
16:43a tethered balloon.
16:51Our verdict?
16:52The first video
16:53is a clever product
16:54of CGI.
16:55In fact,
16:56when we did
16:57a little digging,
16:57we were able
16:58to trace it back
16:59to a visual effects artist.
17:00As for Rad's video,
17:02we agree with D'Antonio.
17:04We're most likely
17:05looking at a balloon.
17:06So these two spheres
17:08weren't genuine UFOs,
17:09but many others
17:10remain unexplained,
17:12as does the recent
17:13uptick in sightings.
17:17Now for one of our
17:18favorite kind of stories,
17:20the kind you send us.
17:21history's first satellite,
17:24Sputnik,
17:24was launched into orbit
17:25almost 70 years ago
17:27by the USSR.
17:28But there's a group
17:29of UFO theorists
17:30who insist there's a satellite
17:31up there that's older.
17:32In fact,
17:34ancient.
17:34And one hardcore
17:36proof fan thinks
17:37he caught it on camera.
17:39It's November 2018.
17:41Nikos Voorhees
17:42is walking with
17:43his daughter Nika
17:44along the beach
17:45in Cape Town,
17:46South Africa.
17:47Around 7 p.m.,
17:48Nika spies something
17:49strange in the air,
17:51something that may have
17:52been watching us
17:53for centuries.
17:55This is a UFO of some sort.
17:57Look closely.
18:00A strange,
18:02malleable,
18:02black shape
18:03hovers high above
18:04Nikos and his family.
18:06It seems to float
18:07without obvious direction,
18:09silently holding position.
18:11We thought,
18:11okay,
18:12this can't be
18:12like a normal drone.
18:14It's just hovering there.
18:16It did weird
18:17and wonderful maneuvers
18:18like that,
18:18like by going
18:19vertically,
18:20then horizontal,
18:20then vertical again.
18:21It was just amazing
18:22to see.
18:23But while many,
18:24at first sight,
18:26would think this is a drone
18:27or possibly a spy balloon,
18:29Nikos believes
18:30it's something
18:31much more extraordinary.
18:32I'm an untrained observer,
18:33but in terms of
18:35what I saw,
18:36it was very much
18:37the reminiscent
18:38of the Black Knight
18:39satellite.
18:41What is the Black Knight
18:43satellite?
18:44The Black Knight satellite
18:45is a UFO theory
18:47that's been bouncing around
18:48since before the internet.
18:50Believers say
18:51the satellite
18:51is an alien surveillance
18:53and communication device
18:54that has been
18:55in a polar orbit
18:56for thousands of years,
18:58inserting itself
18:59into human history
19:00when it sees fit.
19:01Some people
19:02have even gone so far
19:04as to say
19:04that this satellite
19:05is what Nikola Tesla
19:07was communicating with
19:08during his radio experiments
19:09in Colorado Springs
19:10in 1899.
19:12He heard some kind
19:14of frequency
19:14and some people
19:16believe that he was
19:17actually speaking
19:18to the Black Knight satellite
19:19and it was communicating
19:20with him
19:21through math,
19:22using numbers
19:23as the universal language.
19:25For years,
19:25this remained
19:26a science fiction theory
19:27that was kind of cool,
19:28kind of scary,
19:29but still just a theory
19:31until a strange object
19:32was spotted
19:33about 200 miles
19:34above the Earth.
19:35In 1998,
19:36during the STS-88 mission,
19:39astronauts photographed
19:40something hovering
19:41above the Earth's horizon line
19:43and this became
19:45a big mystery.
19:46Some people have used
19:47this photograph
19:48as definitive proof
19:49that there are aliens
19:50interacting with our planet.
19:53For many,
19:54what makes
19:55the Black Knight satellite
19:56so compelling
19:57is the logic behind it.
19:58If an alien race
20:00wanted to study the Earth,
20:01why wouldn't they
20:02send a probe
20:03the same way
20:04NASA sent Voyager 1
20:05to explore other planets
20:07in our solar system?
20:08So what is this thing?
20:10ET satellite?
20:11Balloon?
20:12Or something else?
20:17Astro photographer
20:18Andrew McCarthy
20:19is a Black Knight skeptic.
20:21He says the most famous
20:23piece of evidence
20:23that 1998 NASA photo
20:25is more a visual trick
20:27than proof
20:28of alien spacecraft.
20:29It's outside of the window
20:31of the space shuttle
20:32that was not in direct sunlight
20:34so appears dark
20:36against the bright contrast
20:37of the Earth
20:38and the surrounding space.
20:39Seems to be just
20:41a normal piece
20:41of space debris.
20:43Astronaut Jerry Ross,
20:44who took part
20:45in the STS-88 mission,
20:47confirms the object
20:48from the 1998 photo
20:50is a wayward thermal blanket
20:51that broke loose
20:52while his team
20:53tried to attach
20:54an American module
20:55to a Russian module
20:56on the ISS.
20:57But just because
20:58the 1998 picture
21:00can be debunked,
21:01we still have to ask,
21:02could Nikos' footage
21:03be of a genuine
21:04alien satellite?
21:05I don't think
21:06this is a satellite.
21:07We simply wouldn't be able
21:08to see a satellite
21:09at that distance.
21:11But the closest satellites
21:12from Earth
21:13are about 200 miles up.
21:16The International Space Station
21:17is the largest satellite
21:18that's up there,
21:19and you can only really
21:21see that as a dot of light
21:23and you can't see it
21:24at all during the daytime.
21:25Could the object
21:26Nikos captured
21:27be a spy balloon?
21:28It could be a spy balloon.
21:30Typically, a spy balloon
21:32would have something
21:33dangling underneath it.
21:34But it could be
21:35a type of spy balloon
21:36where the payload
21:38is actually attached
21:39to the balloon itself.
21:40In February 2023,
21:42U.S. military jets
21:43shot down
21:44a suspected Chinese
21:45spy balloon.
21:46The 200-foot-tall balloon
21:48had multiple antennas
21:49and a solar array
21:51that government officials
21:52say was capable
21:53of capturing imagery
21:54and signals
21:55from military sites
21:56and sending them
21:57back to China
21:57in real time.
21:59Did Nikos see one
22:00over South Africa?
22:01This object
22:02doesn't fit the profile
22:03of a spy balloon
22:04because it's way too obvious.
22:06Those balloons
22:06are much higher altitude
22:08and usually white
22:09to blend in with the sky
22:10and to reflect
22:11the sun's energy
22:12back out
22:13and not overheat.
22:14So if it's not
22:15spying on us,
22:17could it be
22:17another type of balloon?
22:18A solo balloon.
22:20It's a type of
22:21hot air balloon
22:21which uses the heat
22:24of the sun
22:24to warm up a balloon.
22:27And they do that
22:27by making the balloon
22:28out of black plastic.
22:30Because black absorbs heat,
22:32the air trapped
22:33in the balloon expands,
22:34creating lift.
22:35I think we can rule
22:36that out
22:36because the shape
22:38of this object
22:39would be consistent
22:40if it was.
22:40As the air heats,
22:42the material around it
22:43becomes taut
22:44and can no longer
22:45change its shape.
22:46So while it might not be
22:48a functioning
22:48inflated solar balloon,
22:50could Nikos'
22:51Black Knight satellite
22:52simply be a deflated balloon
22:54or even airborne trash
22:56caught in the air currents?
22:58Pilots are always
22:59seeing things like balloons
23:00or windblown debris,
23:03things like plastic bags.
23:04This is one of the big problems
23:05the UAP task force had
23:07which was dealing
23:08with airborne clutter.
23:12Our verdict?
23:13A trash bag or balloon
23:15caught in air currents.
23:17Sorry, Nikos,
23:18this might not be
23:19the sexiest answer,
23:20but because of its size,
23:22movement,
23:22and through process
23:23of elimination,
23:24that's what we have
23:25to conclude.
23:29We've heard of malware
23:30and spyware,
23:31but what about alienware?
23:33Some scientists
23:34have actually raised concerns
23:36that aliens could potentially
23:37hack our planet
23:39by directing malicious signals
23:40and messages
23:41to our electronic devices
23:42and telescopes.
23:44Is that what happens
23:45in our next video?
23:46Have a look.
23:48It's just past 8 p.m.
23:49on September 11, 2020
23:51in Whittier, California.
23:53A man is working at home
23:54on his laptop
23:55when suddenly his computer
23:56experiences electrical interference
23:58as he hears a strange
23:59buzzing noise outside.
24:01He decides to check the footage
24:02from his surveillance system,
24:04and that's when he sees this.
24:05A bright light shoots up
24:07into the sky.
24:08Let's see that again.
24:11Look behind the trees
24:12as a sudden flash
24:13is followed by a spherical light
24:14shooting upward.
24:16Then, suddenly,
24:17streaks of light and shadow
24:18crisscross the neighborhood,
24:19followed by a bright flash
24:21and car alarms going off.
24:23Wait a minute.
24:24Bright lights,
24:25electrical interference,
24:26and buzzing noises?
24:27According to journalist
24:29MJ Benias,
24:29many believe these are all
24:31classic signs of something
24:32from another world.
24:33We have in a lot of UFO stories
24:35that they use
24:37some sort of
24:38electromagnetic frequency
24:39for their propulsion,
24:41interfering with
24:42the electrical systems
24:43of automobiles
24:44or homes
24:44or your cell phone.
24:46And in this video,
24:47we see the car alarm
24:49going off,
24:49and we see a disruption
24:50on camera.
24:52If this was an electrical
24:53alien attack,
24:54Benias says it might not
24:55be the first time.
24:56There's a famous UFO case
24:58in 1957 from
24:59Leveland, Texas,
25:01where a lot of people
25:02reported seeing
25:03strange UFOs
25:04flying over the town
25:05and causing issues
25:07with automobiles,
25:09electronic equipment,
25:10and just electrical systems
25:11in general.
25:12Were there any tell-tale signs
25:15in this experience
25:16of something more ominous
25:17than just a visiting UFO?
25:19According to the witness,
25:20before this incident occurred,
25:22he heard what he described
25:24as a buzzing noise.
25:25We do have within
25:27the UFO lore
25:28that people do hear
25:30strange noises
25:31before an alien spaceship
25:32is able to somehow
25:34beam them up,
25:36and buzzing
25:37is often one of them.
25:40Energy bursts
25:41from outer space
25:42disrupting civilizations?
25:44Oh, yes.
25:46In fact,
25:47on March 13, 1989,
25:49the entire province
25:50of Quebec, Canada,
25:51suffered an electrical
25:52power blackout
25:53caused by a solar storm.
25:55And today,
25:56given our even greater
25:57dependence on computers
25:58and technology,
25:59another massive solar event
26:01could be catastrophic.
26:03Let's let our experts
26:04do the threat assessment.
26:09It's theorized
26:10that UFOs
26:11have some kind of cloaking
26:12or disruption technology
26:13that would affect
26:14electronic devices.
26:15And maybe that
26:16would explain
26:17why there seems to be
26:18some kind of flickering
26:19and disruption artifacts
26:20that we're seeing
26:21in the video.
26:22However, McCarthy says
26:24that what appears
26:24to be an electronic anomaly
26:26may just be a product
26:27of the inner workings
26:28of the camera.
26:28As the light
26:29takes off into the sky,
26:31you see some kind of
26:32rolling shutter artifact
26:34coming from the camera.
26:35But that's the way
26:37these cameras operate.
26:38They scan one line
26:39at a time
26:40as they're recording.
26:41So if you get an object
26:42that's producing light
26:43that's flickering,
26:45it will show up
26:46as horizontal bars
26:47that will move up
26:48the screen like this.
26:50So what could be
26:51the source
26:51of these flickering lights?
26:53One of the things
26:54to consider is
26:55those gray cans
26:56that you see up
26:56on telephone poles.
26:58Well, these gray cans
26:58sometimes go haywire.
27:00And when they do,
27:01they melt down
27:02with a spectacular display
27:04of sound and light.
27:06And there's a lot
27:08buzzing.
27:09And that's the sound
27:11of a transformer
27:12melting down.
27:13But the thing is,
27:14they may drop
27:15molten pieces
27:16down to the ground,
27:17but they don't
27:18actually travel
27:19through the air.
27:20Okay, so we clearly
27:22have something
27:22traveling through the air.
27:23Could it be a drone?
27:25The only kind of drone
27:26it could have been
27:26would be a racing drone.
27:28Those kind of drones
27:29can take off
27:29at such high speeds.
27:31But they're small.
27:33And you'd have to put
27:34a very, very, very
27:35bright light on it.
27:36And let's say you did that
27:38and you sent it up
27:38into the air.
27:39Then what's the next step?
27:41You have that concussive shock
27:42set off car alarms.
27:44Well, that would have meant
27:44the drone exploded
27:45like a bomb.
27:46And so I was like,
27:48no, that can't really be it.
27:50When you look at the speed
27:51that it takes off
27:52and the angle
27:53it takes off at,
27:54I think it's a rocket
27:55of some kind.
27:57There goes the launch
27:58and the trees light up.
28:00D'Antonio points out
28:01two more important clues.
28:02There's a pause
28:03as it reaches terminal velocity
28:04and then boom!
28:05Bright flash.
28:07What do we know
28:07that does that?
28:08The speed is consistent
28:10with the launching
28:10of a firework shell.
28:12And the thing that
28:13kind of settled me on that
28:15was the fact that
28:16car alarms went off
28:17as soon as this thing
28:18exploded.
28:19And those concussive shocks
28:21will set off car alarms.
28:23Does the specific date
28:24this happened
28:25explain fireworks?
28:27It might have been
28:29somebody on September 11th
28:30just expressing
28:31their patriotism
28:32toward America.
28:34It seems like
28:35that would be the day
28:36that somebody would
28:37play around
28:38with some fireworks.
28:46Our verdict?
28:47We're going with fireworks.
28:49So for now,
28:50it's safe to say
28:51that aliens aren't
28:52trying to hack
28:52our computers
28:53and technology.
28:54But you may want
28:56to invest
28:56in some earplugs.
29:00In 2022,
29:02a record 57 rocket launches
29:04took place
29:05at Cape Canaveral, Florida,
29:06carrying everything
29:07from satellites
29:08to astronauts
29:09into space.
29:10Every launch brings
29:11a crowd
29:11of local spectators,
29:13but we found
29:14a pair of eyewitnesses
29:15who think
29:15they may have captured
29:16launch spectators
29:18from another planet.
29:20January 31st, 2022,
29:23a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
29:25launches from
29:25Cape Canaveral, Florida,
29:27carrying an Italian
29:28Earth observation satellite.
29:30200 miles south,
29:31a couple watches
29:32the launch
29:33from Fort Lauderdale.
29:34They're following
29:35the path of the Falcon 9
29:36in line with their cell phones
29:37when they notice
29:39the rocket is not alone.
29:41Yeah, see there's two things?
29:42Two bright white dots
29:44of light appear
29:45to be following the rocket
29:46as it zooms
29:47through the atmosphere.
29:48Doesn't it look like
29:49it's fine with it?
29:51Yeah, it's going weird, yeah.
29:53Let's zoom in
29:54on these things.
29:55The lights appear
29:56to be orb-shaped,
29:57and whether they're part
29:58of one craft
29:59or two separate craft,
30:00they appear to be
30:01tracking the rocket.
30:03There's been a lot
30:03of speculation online
30:04that this is some sort
30:06of UFO that is monitoring
30:08or surveilling
30:09the Falcon 9 launch.
30:10But why would aliens
30:12be interested in monitoring
30:13one of our rocket launches?
30:15There's been some theories
30:16posted online
30:17that perhaps they want
30:18to keep tabs
30:19on our development.
30:20The idea that alien observers
30:22track human activity
30:23isn't new.
30:24Ufologists point
30:25to the surge of sightings
30:26in the 1940s
30:27that coincided
30:28with the birth
30:29of the atomic bomb.
30:30It's estimated
30:31the year 1947
30:32saw at least
30:33a thousand UFOs
30:34over the United States alone.
30:36Now, with private companies
30:37like SpaceX
30:38and Blue Origin
30:39stepping up
30:40their launch schedules,
30:41could ETs be taking note?
30:43Another incident
30:44was from 2021
30:45on the crewed mission
30:47to the ISS
30:48that was launched
30:48by SpaceX.
30:49And people online
30:51were pointing
30:51to pieces of footage
30:52where there was
30:53some sort of little object
30:55following the main capsule.
30:56As part of the Falcon 9 rocket
30:58separated from the spacecraft,
31:00a spherical object
31:01flew through the gap
31:02and a close call
31:04heard round the internet.
31:06People were saying
31:07that these are indications
31:08of alien activity.
31:09So it's a big subculture
31:10within the UFO community
31:12at large
31:13of people who kind of
31:14monitor live feeds
31:16from rocket launches
31:17and NASA missions
31:18and whatnot
31:18and assert that
31:19this is evidence
31:20of some sort of
31:21alien research
31:23or surveillance.
31:26So, is Earth
31:27just one of the exhibits
31:28on display
31:29in some alien civilization's
31:31galactic zoo?
31:33Well, scientists estimate
31:34there could be
31:35about 100 billion
31:36other planets
31:37in our galaxy alone.
31:38So it's reasonable
31:39to assume
31:40we aren't alone
31:40in the universe.
31:41But does this video
31:43prove we're being watched?
31:44Let's see what our experts
31:46have to say.
31:51They're looking at a rocket
31:52as it leaves
31:53the Earth's atmosphere.
31:54You would expect
31:55to see what we're
31:56seeing there.
31:57However, you wouldn't
31:58expect to see
31:58other bright objects
32:00appear in close proximity
32:02to it.
32:02I'd certainly see
32:03why that would look
32:04like a UFO.
32:05But is it a UFO?
32:08I think even though
32:09certain aspects
32:09look very odd,
32:11they're all man-made objects
32:12and they're all associated
32:13with the Falcon 9
32:14rocket launches.
32:15So we're not looking
32:16at a UFO.
32:18We're not looking
32:18at any alien technology
32:20or anything like that.
32:21Macmillan thinks
32:22these two lights
32:23may be rocket boosters
32:25which separate
32:26from the rocket
32:26after their fuel
32:27has been depleted
32:28to minimize dead weight.
32:30That type of debris
32:31is going to burn up
32:31as it's coming down
32:32or you're just seeing
32:33the reflection
32:34off of it.
32:35So it may look brighter
32:36or larger
32:37than it really is.
32:38These objects
32:39that we see here,
32:40they're not physical objects
32:41in the rocket stream.
32:42It's actually
32:43an artifact
32:44of the rocket plume.
32:46That's a low-pressure zone
32:48beneath that rocket exhaust
32:50and it's going to be subject
32:52to atmospheric changes.
32:54Those effects
32:55are the creation
32:56of these little tiny shock waves
32:58right here
32:59in the atmosphere.
33:00D'Antonio shows us
33:02that you don't need
33:02a rocket launch
33:03to illustrate
33:04this same phenomenon
33:05in action.
33:06Natural turbulence
33:07can create
33:07the same effect.
33:08A tornado's
33:09a very violent place
33:10and as that funnel
33:12is twisting,
33:13you see that little
33:14transient white thing
33:15that appeared.
33:16What was that?
33:17That was an atmospheric effect
33:18caused by the tornadoes.
33:19Keep in mind
33:20that a rocket launch
33:21is going to produce
33:21similar effects.
33:23Among them,
33:23these two little
33:24supersonic shock waves
33:26that we see there
33:27from the location.
33:33Our verdict?
33:34Supersonic shock waves.
33:36D'Antonio's explanation
33:38of the atmospheric physics
33:39seals the deal.
33:40More and more rockets
33:42are being sent
33:42into space every year.
33:44So it looks like
33:45for now,
33:46we don't have to worry
33:47about being on display
33:49for aliens.
33:49We just have to bone up
33:51on our rocket tech
33:52and learn to recognize
33:53these shock waves
33:54when we see them.
33:58In a previous episode,
33:59we investigated instances
34:01of UFO sightings
34:02out of California
34:03during an Independence Day
34:05firework celebration.
34:07Our experts were unable
34:08to explain some of them.
34:10And now,
34:11on the opposite side
34:11of the country,
34:12we found a similar
34:13Fourth of July phenomenon.
34:15Could this new evidence
34:16help us finally solve
34:18the mystery?
34:19It's Independence Day,
34:212019.
34:23Desiree Leanne
34:24is sitting at home
34:25enjoying the holiday
34:26with her mother
34:26in Port Ritchie, Florida.
34:29Everything was really normal,
34:31just random fireworks
34:32around my neighborhood.
34:33And then we saw the light
34:34that stood out
34:35and it kind of hovered
34:36in a strange pattern.
34:38Intrigued,
34:39Desiree heads to the backyard
34:40for a better view
34:41and captures this.
34:43I'm pretty sure
34:44that those are not fireworks.
34:46Three bright lights
34:47in a triangular formation
34:49appear to be slowly
34:50moving in sync.
34:51Desiree doesn't know
34:52what she's seeing,
34:53but she does know
34:54what it isn't.
34:55It wasn't a plane.
34:56If it was a helicopter,
34:58it would have made noise,
34:58but they moved,
35:00I feel, with intention.
35:01Like, it was doing something
35:03or going somewhere.
35:04Could that intention
35:05mean that we're being watched?
35:07Some believe
35:08that aliens
35:09have been gathering data
35:10and observing humanity
35:11during times
35:12of cultural importance.
35:13In fact,
35:14historian and author
35:15Amy Teitel
35:16says one of those times
35:17appears to be
35:18during Independence Day.
35:20The National UFO Reporting Center
35:22is more likely
35:23to receive a call
35:24on July 4th
35:25than any other day
35:26of the year.
35:28And Teitel notes
35:29the phenomenon
35:29goes back decades.
35:31On July 4th,
35:321947,
35:34United Airlines
35:34Flight 105
35:35leaving Boise, Idaho,
35:37Captain Emile Smith
35:38saw five disc-like objects,
35:41one larger than the other four,
35:43heading towards the plane.
35:44Then they changed their course
35:46and flew parallel to him.
35:48He said he flashed
35:49his landing lights
35:50at whatever he was seeing,
35:51and they responded intelligently
35:53by changing formation.
35:57The idea
35:58that aliens
35:59like watching us
36:00for their own amusement
36:01or research
36:02is sometimes called
36:04galactic zoo theory,
36:06similar to the interest
36:07today's anthropologists
36:08have in Neanderthals.
36:10But before we go too far
36:12down those rabbit holes,
36:14let's see what our experts
36:15say about this footage.
36:19On an average clear night
36:21away from a city,
36:22a person can see
36:22between 2,000
36:23and 3,000 stars.
36:25So are these just lights
36:26we see in the sky
36:27all the time?
36:28Albeit subtle,
36:29we can see movement
36:31from them.
36:33But stars appear to move
36:34with the Earth's orbit.
36:36They don't move as fast
36:38as what we see here.
36:39So definitely not stars.
36:41What about Starlink
36:42satellites?
36:44Starlink was established
36:45by Elon Musk
36:46as a network of satellites
36:48that can provide
36:48internet access
36:50anywhere on the Earth.
36:51The plan is to ultimately
36:52have up to 42,000
36:54of them circling the globe.
36:56Is that what we're seeing?
36:58Starlink appears
36:59in the night sky
36:59like a stream of lights,
37:01almost like pearls
37:02in a long row
37:03moving across the night sky.
37:05You don't see that
37:07here at all.
37:08These objects,
37:09their movement
37:10is very subtle and slow
37:12and not consistent
37:13with what we see
37:14with satellite.
37:15So are we looking
37:16at genuine UFOs?
37:17If there were strong evidence
37:19that indicated
37:20that this was flying
37:21in some sort of
37:21an intelligent fashion,
37:22I can maybe accept
37:24the fact that it is
37:25an unknown,
37:25but I don't see it being
37:29in the world of being
37:31an alien spacecraft.
37:32You've got a lack
37:34of significant movement
37:35for a period of time.
37:36You don't have anything
37:38instantaneous acceleration.
37:40Instead,
37:41Macmillan believes
37:42what we're seeing
37:43is impressive technology,
37:44just not the alien kind.
37:46A couple of things
37:47that lead me to believe
37:48we're possibly looking
37:50at drones here.
37:51One is the height
37:53in terms of altitude.
37:54We can see the horizon there.
37:57We can see from
37:57the other houses.
37:58These objects
37:59are relatively low
38:01to the ground
38:02or within the ceiling cap
38:04that commercial drones
38:05are allowed to operate on.
38:06But why would drones
38:08fly in triangle formation?
38:10Looking at this
38:11from a distance,
38:11you can make out shapes
38:13because our brains
38:13want to detect those patterns.
38:15But in reality,
38:16we don't have an idea
38:17of how far away
38:18the objects are
38:20from each other.
38:21Macmillan adds
38:22that drones filming
38:244th of July fireworks
38:25is not only a common event,
38:27it's been done before
38:29over Port Ritchie,
38:30like this celebration
38:32in 2016.
38:34It's just very common nowadays
38:35for people to film
38:36fireworks from the drones
38:38and get a cool perspective
38:39that we hadn't seen before.
38:46Our verdict?
38:47Drones.
38:48So it looks like
38:49the aliens aren't studying us
38:51as we celebrate
38:52our independence,
38:53at least not in this case.
38:55But maybe at the next Super Bowl,
38:57someone should look up.
39:00Our skies could hold mysteries
39:02beyond our imagination.
39:04The truth?
39:05It's out there,
39:06hovering just above us,
39:08waiting to be discovered.
39:10Thank you for watching
39:11this special episode
39:12of The Proof is Out There.
39:14Please send us any videos,
39:15images, or sound
39:16that you think
39:17we should investigate.
39:18And remember to keep
39:20those cameras rolling.
39:23Thanks for watching.
