(ominous music)
(howling)
- [Dennis] Since humans
first looked to the sky,
we have wondered if there
was other life out there.
Asked the question, "Are we alone?"
have we been visited
by alien civilizations?
- Our galaxy is in existence
for more then 10 billion years,
so in principle, if
you take the life forms
actually started within the
last five billion years.
There is still enough time
to do this, absolutely.
- [Dennis] Now, more and more people,
ordinary people like
these, are coming forward
with reports of their contact
with the paraphysical.
Contact with something
that dramatically changed their lives.
Contact with UAPs,
unexplained aerial phenomenon,
formerly called UFOs.
And contact through interdimensional
telepathic communication
with unknown intelligences.
And with, surprisingly, Bigfoot,
an elusive, magical, human-like being.
- They've had a weird
experience like mine,
where they've seen either footprints.
They've got something
thrown something at 'em.
They went out deer hunting,
a big rock comes up
and whacks the side of the tree.
Or they see one,
and then at that point,
they become obsessed.
And you can't blame them.
They want answers.
Their life changed.
- When I first started,
every Bigfoot person,
they wanna prove Bigfoot exists.
Partially because
they've gotten some flack
from a friend or a relative.
I don't do it for that anymore.
In fact, half the time, I
don't even have a camera on me.
I do it for my own personal experiences.
When you're out and
you're having experiences,
you feel like the man on the moon
or the first woman on the moon.
- It's a customized, personal
experience for everyone.
I don't think that ...
I would have a hard
time putting it in a box
or compartmentalizing it.
I guess you'd have to
maybe call it spiritual,
'cause it's just so personal.
- [Dennis] No longer afraid of ridicule,
people are coming out of the shadows
with their contact reports
and have formed communities
of shared experiences.
- You live long enough,
you've seen things that you can't explain.
And I think every one of us has seen it,
whether we think it's
something that we just imagined
or we put in the back of our minds,
and I think probably a lot of
people have this phenomenon.
But until you have TV and the Internet,
everybody can't communicate about it,
because most of us just put
in the back of the minds
and it disappears from their reality
because it isn't something ...
It's almost like this event
that happened maybe twice or three times.
It doesn't keep happening
and there's really no point in talking
because most people aren't
even going to believe you.
- It sort of turned your
whole world upside down
and what you believe to
be real and not real.
It's totally out of the realm of anything
you've experienced in your life.
It's not like anything you've thought
of your whole entire life,
so when you see something
that does not match up
with your known database in
your brain as what exists,
it really throws you for a loop.
- And now it's happening in the UFO arena,
so is it just that we've
transposed this process
to a technology and a language
that appeals to us now?
People are not talking about
fairies the way people talked
about some of these same
things hundreds of years ago.
So maybe just the clothing
of the experience has changed
to suit our modern age,
but the process seems
to remain fairly consistent
throughout the ages
and it results in the same sort of thing.
Transformation of consciousness,
which affects the body,
affects how we think, how
we interact with each other,
and awakening of what in spiritual terms
would be called superpowers.
- [Dennis] This possibility
of transformational
alien contact is being studied
by serious investigators
across the planet looking for answers.
Today, many of those investigators
suspect that the facts
and knowledge of extraterrestrial contact
are being kept secret
and have been kept secret
by governments around the globe.
- [Operator] It was at
(in foreign language),
and I was sitting there
waiting at the flight ops desk
to try and look at the schedule to see
when an outgoing flight was
that I was trying to catch,
and the ops desk people
were actually out loud,
in public, discussing the
previous night's UFO activity.
And then I was brutally shocked.
I was like, "You guys are
saying this out loud?"
And they were like, "We're
not just saying it out loud.
"We're logging it.
"We're documenting it.
"Our CEO is tired of this stuff."
I don't know that he
wasn't forced to retire,
but he was trying to document
it and put it out there
'cause he was tired of it being secret.
- [Dennis] The secrecy
of the UFO phenomenon,
if at Area 51 or anywhere else,
is based on the Pateal
Institute report in the 50s
that was conducted by the CIA,
who indicated to the CIA
and to the US Military
that we have to belittle
and make fun of the people
and organizations that believe in the UFOs
to maintain the secrecy that
we need to have with this.
Because if we let this information out,
there could be sociological, religious,
monetary crisis' that would
develop should people know
that there is someone out in the universe
that's smarter than we are.
- Anybody who says secrets
can't be kept is saying,
"Well I don't know about any,
so there must not be any,"
which is a very
self-centered and egotistical
and inappropriate way of
thinking about things.
Secrets can be kept and are
being kept all the time.
- At some stage, after Bluebook,
the US did get a program,
the infamous AATIP,
Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program.
But there is little or no
exchange of information
between US and UK, France,
certainly not with any nation
where perhaps relations aren't that good.
So we certainly don't, for
example, in the UK and the US,
exchange information with Russia or China.
But even between the US and
the UK, or Germany, France,
Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, where there is a lot
of information sharing for
example on intelligence programs.
We don't exchange UFO information.
- One of the things
that's happening right now
is there's all these deathbed
confessions going on.
There's all these baby boomers
who are going away, who are retired,
and they don't wanna take
these secrets to their grave.
So we're learning a whole
bunch of stuff these days
by people who were sworn to secrecy
but are finally deciding, "I'm
tired of keeping this secret
"and I don't understand why this needs
"to be a secret that's
kept from humanity."
- [Dennis] Now, instead of looking
to distant solar systems
for extraterrestrial life,
many experts are coming to believe
through experience and contact reports
that aliens are already here observing us.
This is not new.
What is new for mainstream
science is a high probability
that aliens are with us
in the form of Bigfoot,
and it must be considered
smarter than we are.
- The first time someone sees
Bigfoot run across the road,
they see an animal, an undiscovered ape.
After investigating
that topic for decades,
if they stay with it,
they're thinking it is
probably going to evolve.
Certainly did for me.
- [Dennis] There is a
strong case to be made
that Bigfoot, or as they
are called by native people,
Sasquatch, are in fact non-human
intelligent alien beings.
- What really interests me
are some of the weirder aspects
of the Bigfoot phenomenon,
where people have claimed
to seen these creatures
and they sort of vanished
in a flash of light,
or they've literally
just almost dissolved.
Or they've been seen in conjunction
with strange little
balls of light flitting
around the woods, sort of
the size of tennis balls.
Maybe sometime the size of a basketball.
And the creatures have been seen
in an almost exactly the same
location and the same times.
But then you have other cases
where people have claimed
to have seen sort of huge objects,
flying saucers, UFOs in the areas.
For example, in 1973 in
Pennsylvania, there was a huge wave
of Bigfoot/UFO activity
throughout Pennsylvania,
predominantly in the forested areas.
And Stan Gordon,
a researcher who's still
in the field today,
did a lot of really
good research into that.
And in some of those cases,
they were talking about blurry lights.
They were tall, fuzzy lights.
They were talking about solid
craft of some sort of kind.
- [Dennis] In addition to
the Pennsylvania sightings
of UFOs and Bigfoot together,
the other place that awakened the world
to a possible connection
between the two phenomena
was around the small town situated
on the Hickory Apache Reservation
on the New Mexico-Colorado border.
Dulce, New Mexico is part
of the San Luis valley,
an extensive valley nestled
between two mountain ranges
extending from the Great
Sand Dunes National Park
in Southern Colorado to the
Taos Plateau in New Mexico.
In addition to it's extraordinary beauty,
the valley is known as one of
the nation's premiere hotspots
for paranormal phenomenon and events.
Events ranging from haunted hotels,
the black helicopters,
to cattle mutilations,
to the well-documented
Aztec-New Mexico UFO crash,
to interdimensional portals and vortexes,
to local Native American
legends of skin walkers,
and of course, to Bigfoot and unidentified
aerial phenomena sightings.
A focal point for paranormal
activity in the valley
is the UFO Watchtower
north of Hooper, Colorado.
It is run by Judy Messoline,
a local cattle rancher.
She is well aware of the
arguments that major paraphysical
occurrences are clustered
together geographically.
In her case, two vortexes
next to the Watchtower,
where people bring offerings
to a supposed gateway
to a higher dimension.
- And this garden back here,
it's got two large vortexes,
and it's amazing how people
can pick up the energy
from those vortexes.
And others, when they see a UFO,
then they're body reacts differently
and they say that they are
just filled with lots of love,
so that's not bad.
I know that there is
definitely something going on,
and let's face it, this
cosmos is too dang big
for there not to be life someplace else.
And I feel that that life
is in a different dimension.
They can pop in and out at will.
(twinkling music)
- [Dennis] Not long ago,
the military came to the Watchtower.
- I had the Navy come visit
me here a couple years ago,
and they spent a couple of hours here
and I don't know why.
I just know they came.
So they sent me their report
and it goes on and on
and at the end it says,
"Non-human intelligence,
not from this world."
That's what it said at
the end of the report,
and this is the Navy.
- [Dennis] Although the Watchtower
has all the characteristics
of a paraphysical hotspot,
it can easily be dismissed
as a tourist trap.
This is not the case
with what's been going on
at Dulce, New Mexico.
- I have seen strange
things in this community.
I did stop a van one night
about 2 o'clock and the morning.
I remember a New Mexico plate.
There was a cage in the back of the van,
and there was two military personnels.
One was driving, one was
on the passenger side,
and both of them were heavily armed.
And these guys were special ops guys.
They weren't regular military soldiers.
I could tell they were special ops.
All they told me was, "Just let it go.
"Let us go, don't worry about it."
That's what I did, I just walked away.
I just let 'em go and
I never talk about it
until recently I told some people.
- [Dennis] It's modern paranormal history
dates back to the early 1980s,
when Paul Bennewitz, a businessman,
believed he had located
a secret joint alien
and military facility
that he called Dulce Base,
located deep in the (in
foreign language) mountain,
overlooking the city.
By 1982, Bennewitz began
to spread his ideas
regarding Dulce Base to others
in the ufology community.
In 1988, Bennewitz wrote a
paper entitled Project Beta.
Since then, reports of all
manner of paraphysical activity,
including Bigfoot and UFO
sightings, and surprisingly,
constant cases of unusual
military presence,
continue to this day.
If you go to the reservation,
nearly everybody has stories
of their own paranormal
contact experience.
However, ask them to go on camera,
the typical response
is politely, "No way."
One exception is a full-blooded
Apache, Dory Vigil,
a Bigfoot and alien investigator.
He believes Bigfoot and
aliens are connected.
- Even little kids once in a while,
they'll be running around today
and they'll see something in the air.
Or sometimes they go to the
river or something, or the lake,
and they hear that noise of some kind
or a knocking, some kind of (mumbles).
And sometimes the light,
all of a sudden go over
here on this other side.
There's orbs out there.
You can go out there about maybe 10:00
to 11:00 in the nighttime.
You just park there and
there here comes the orbs.
Big ol' orbs about this big.
And this about maybe goes to the probably
around this big right here and nothing
but that light shines all the way around,
but it stops to a certain point.
And after that, and it flies around.
It goes around a vehicles and
everything, then heads off.
And after that, there
was this one episode.
There's other episodes where other people
seen the same thing, so we
marked it off or whatever where
you can actually go and look
at it if you're out-of-towners.
But we don't recommend for them
to go out of the reservation
without a travel member.
- [Dennis] Dulce is surrounded
by rugged forested mountains,
well-known as Bigfoot habitat.
- Just last week, in
fact, maybe four days,
five days ago, yeah.
There's a lake here called Stone Lake,
and this Stone Lake right there
on the east side right there.
I have a witness, too.
I have a witness that
was with me that time
and after that, we saw
Bigfoot from across the lake,
and it was walking, real big giant one.
A big ol' black something right there.
And my girlfriend saw it and everything.
"Look at it, look at it."
And I said, "Are you serious?
"Are you serious?"
So all of a sudden after
that, says, "Yeah, I see it."
I see it all the time,
so next following day,
we went back over there before that rain
and we got footprints and stuff.
I got pictures of
footprints from over there,
and even where it sat down.
The footprints were pretty decent size
and everything and all that.
- [Dennis] Relatives
of Dory, Tim Anderson,
a former reservation policeman,
and his son, Francisco,
are determined to make
contact with Bigfoot.
They have identified a couple of locations
in the high mountains of the reservation
where Bigfoot occasionally
makes their presence known.
Tim and Francisco agree to
take us to one of these places.
Unlike the typical Bigfoot hunters,
these men are well armed.
- A medicine man, one
time he told me that,
"A lot of people don't believe it,
"but we live in parallel world," he said.
Said there's a parallel world next to us.
Said that Bigfoot lives in the other world
and sometimes would come over.
So when he lose his track, he
goes back to the other side.
I have never seen it,
but I have smelled it.
We tracked it.
It threw objects at us.
And we just can't explain
how those things happen.
(tapping)
You just feel like
something's watching you.
Something's out there looking at you.
And just get an eerie feeling
like something watching you,
looking at you.
- My first experience that I had
was back in December of 2005,
when I was going into sixth grade I think.
I know there was a smell in
the area that was just strange.
I never smelled that before.
And then my dad, I just
kind of ignored it.
And then I started loading
the wood into the back
of the truck and my dad
finally turned off the chainsaw
and looked towards me and he
was like, "Notice that smell?"
And I kind of looked at
him, I was like, "Yeah."
I was just a kid and I
never smelled that before,
and I was like, "I don't
know what it smells like."
Then I was asking him about the smell
and then he told me it smelled
like an old Billy goat,
which I heard before from
my uncle, Brian Vigil.
He told me that Bigfoot might have a smell
of a Billy goat or something.
Right when my dad told me
that, I kind of dropped the log
and then I was just looking
around and then all of a sudden,
that feeling came of
something watching you.
And then I think that was probably one
of the creepiest sightings
we had, well my first time.
- [Dennis] Often on a Bigfoot hunt,
investigators looked for
signs of nature out of place.
Unusual bent trees, tree trunks stacked,
or on occasion, a footprint.
- I don't know, this way he went.
- [Dennis] On an earlier
trip to this area,
Tim made a cast of a Bigfoot footprint.
- This one here we found the hair one day.
I showed this some other people.
One guy told me, he
said, "Juvenile Bigfoot."
- [Dennis] Almost always
when cameras are present,
nothing happens except
for that fifth sense
of being watched.
In a playful way,
it's as if Sasquatch doesn't
want to be photographed.
It's as if they're having fun with us.
(tapping)
And of course, everybody
on the reservation
has seen strange aerial phenomenon.
- I've seen a few things.
Objects flying in the sky that disappear.
One night I was parked
on the point up here,
and this bright light
lit up the whole valley
and flew at one of the
canyons and disappeared, so.
That was like 3 o'clock in the morning,
then this a few weeks ago, me and my son
were out behind the
correction center here.
We saw a bright light up that disappeared.
I actually video of it.
I videoed that light.
- [Dennis] Later that
day, Time and Francisco
took us to an overlook
of (in foreign language),
where Tim captured on his cell phone
that aerial phenomenon light
that lit up the valley.
- [Alan] Do people report
a lot of strange lights
and that kind of thing up here?
- Yeah, they do.
A lot of people wanna talk about it.
A lot of military activity sometimes.
We got CI30s or that fly real low,
like helicopters that come in here.
It's weird, I don't know
if there really is a base
or why there's so much sometimes.
Why there so much military activity.
- [Dennis] If there is an alien base here,
it certainly must be one
of the best kept secrets
of all time.
- We need to remember that
what's important about flying
saucers to many people on this
planet is their technology.
They would make wonderful weapons,
delivery and defense systems.
The first country to be
able to duplicate them
is gonna rule the planet,
'cause they can fly circles
around anything we got flying.
We're primitive, and so one can understand
that the governments of
the world do not wanna tell
their people that there
are alien visitors here.
First, it would be admitting we're not
the center of the universe.
We're not the all-powerful,
all-knowing et cetera.
Second, no government wants it's citizens
to owe their allegiance to the planet
as opposed to that government.
- [Dennis] Interestingly, the
beginning of a modern idea
of an alien presence here on
Earth started not that far
from (in foreign language).
Not far from the first nuclear test site.
It started just outside
of Roswell, New Mexico,
where something crashed.
Clifford Clift, executive
director emeritus,
has been a long time member of MUFON,
the Mutual UFO Network, and
has thoroughly investigated
what happened on that faithful
evening over 72 years ago.
- July 7th, 1947, or
approximate date thereof.
Brazel, a rancher that
was northwest of Roswell,
out looking for his sheep.
And the next morning after,
a severe thunderstorm,
discovered this debris in the field
and it wasn't something
that he had seen before.
Having lived in the desert like that,
he had seen numerous weather balloons
that the military had sent up.
This objects that he saw on the ground
were not of the weather
balloon type that he had seen.
So he went to town and
talked to the sheriff
about having discovered some objects
in the field out by his ranch,
and he didn't think that they looked
like anything that he'd ever seen before.
They might be something more than debris
from a weather balloon.
The sheriff, Wilcox, then told him to go
to the Air Force base, which he did,
and then Jesse Marcel Sr. went out
with another gentleman to the
site and discovered that it
was something maybe a little
bit more than what he thought.
On the way back to town that
night, very late at night,
he stopped at his house.
This is Jesse Marcel Sr., and
showed it to his wife and son
and told them that this
was extraterrestrial.
Well, the Air Force came
out with their first,
in 1947, said that they
had captured a flying disk.
And that went out all
over the radio stations
and the press, everybody got it.
All of the world were calling
the local Roswell newspaper
and the sheriff's department
to find out what was going on.
It became apparent that
something did go on,
but the next day, they
reversed their statement
and said it was a weather balloon.
And then they showed a
picture of a weather balloon.
This is a strange change of events
from a flying saucer to a weather balloon.
- [Dennis] Whatever was found
in the Roswell debris field,
material from an alien spacecraft
or simple fragments of a
military weather balloon,
were gathered up by the military
and flown to Fort Worth, Texas.
Accompanying the objects
was Major Jesse A. Marcel
of the 509th Bomb Group
Intelligence Office,
one of the original officers
to actually see the objects
as they were found on the ranch.
In fact, he helped gather them up.
So of all the people involved
in the Roswell incident,
he would be the one who would know
if there was a government coverup or not.
In 1978, nuclear physicist
and author Stanton T. Friedman
interviewed Jesse Marcel.
- Three quarters of a mile long
and several hundred feet wide.
So we proceeded to pick up the parts
but it was not a weather balloon,
nor an aircraft, nor a missile.
It was something else which
we didn't know what it is.
- [Dennis] But the most
interesting story to emerge
is that Roswell was not
actually the crash site,
but the place where the
alien craft ricocheted
to the eventual crash site,
a site not far from Socorro, New Mexico
and the place where the
National Science Foundation
operates a vast network
of radio telescopes today.
- The debris field was quite
wide and quite long at Roswell
according to Brazel and his son,
so the sheep wouldn't walk
across it, they'd walk around it.
The object according to Stanton Friedman
may have ricocheted there
and landed at another place
and at that point, that's
where the object impaled itself
in the side of a hill.
And apparently there was three to five,
depending on who's talking, alien beings,
two of which were dead and one was alive.
There was an archeology group
that were studying the
terrain in that area.
They came across this before
the military got to it,
and they were ordered to be shut up.
And as MUFON, we have archival files
and we have letters
from these archeologists
that were at the scene of this
depicting what they had seen,
and they did say that
they were small people
there on the ground.
And the craft was somewhat delta-shaped,
wasn't exactly round, but it was torn open
and there was destruction from the crash.
- [Dennis] After all
these years, the unsettled
and controversial nature of
the Roswell event is still
the focal point of humankind's
biggest unsolved mystery.
Are we alone in the universe?
Two things happened as a
result of the Roswell incident.
- And of course what
have we seen ever since?
An escalation of this phenomenon,
multiple reports, credible reports.
UFOs seen by pilots, police
officers, military personnel.
Tracked on radar performing
speeds and maneuvers
that seem way in excess
of anything we have.
And governments all around
the world have programs
to research and investigate this.
- [Dennis] At the same time,
mainstream scientists
began cataloging stars
and planets in our galaxy
and in galaxies beyond,
and asking what the
possibility is that life
or non-human intelligence
exists out there.
In particular, astronomers
looking at our galaxy
attempted to predict how many possible
sophisticated civilizations might have
and are still existing in our Milky Way.
The famous Drake Equation set forth
by astrophysicist Frank Drake,
the father of SETI science,
predicted around 8000 such
civilizations should exist.
Consequently, the SETI
Institute was established
and began searching for
extraterrestrial radio waves
sent from distant civilizations.
- Frank talked about maybe
8000 planets in the galaxy.
The latest notion is that
we start looking at stars
and now we can actually observe
planets around other stars.
It's very neat science that we can detect
the presence of planets out there.
It looks like there's
1.6 planets per star.
If you take hundreds of planets,
that's the average you get out of it.
That means in our galaxy, we
got over a 100 billion planets.
That changes the picture from six or 8000.
I think that is a big difference.
So just as we thought we're
the center of God's creation,
if I can put it that way, we
now realize that's absurd.
That we're not.
- [Dennis] Around the same time,
the great Italian-American
physicist Enrico Fermi
was having lunch with fellow
physicist at Los Alamos
when the conversation turned to a flood
of recent UFO sightings
all over the United States.
During the discussion,
Firme supposedly asked
his famous question,
"Where indeed is everybody?
"Where are the extraterrestrials?"
Especially since alien life may have had
a half billion year jump
on us here on Earth,
and it is now estimated
there are perhaps as many
as 11 billion inhabitable
planets in our galaxy.
The question, "Where are they?"
became known as Firme's Paradox.
- The famous Italian physicist
Enrico Firme once said
that if there were
extraterrestrial civilizations,
why don't we see them?
Why they have not visited us yet?
And that question is very, very important
because you can think of a civilization
that has developed interstellar travel,
but they don't have to
really go on their own,
that is bodily, to another planet
beyond their planet, actually.
They can actually make robots,
which will go to another
extra solar planet
and extract the material from their planet
and make a lot of other
self-replicating robots,
which will go on their way to more planets
and this particular process or method
and go on at infinitum.
In that way, actually, a
very intelligent life form
or civilization can colonize
a large fraction of our galaxy
within a very short period of time.
And the machines, the
self-replicating machines,
were first actually
described by Von Neumann.
So in principle, we are
not very far from the day
when we can actually send
out self-replicating robots
into the nearest star system.
There is a planet which
has already been discovered
in our nearest star
system, Alpha Centauri,
and people are thinking about
actually sending spacecraft,
albeit very small ones, to Alpha Centauri.
So if we can already think about that,
then it is not unreasonable to assume
that there are intelligent
civilizations in the galaxy.
If there are intelligent
civilization in the galaxy,
then they would be
thinking about this also.
And some of these von Neumann machines
would be already here on Earth.
- In contrast to the SETI movement,
which has not a bit of
evidence at all to say
that anybody is sending signals here,
the ufological movement says
we have enormous amounts
of evidence that aliens are visiting.
We can't answer the questions
of, "What do they want?"
and "Why are they here?
"How do they operate?"
- [Dennis] In 1952, Project
Bluebook was established
by the United States Air Force
to answer these questions.
Aided in it's investigations
by astrophysicist Dr.
Allen Heinick, to this day,
Project Bluebook has been controversial.
Here's a montage of the classified images
from Project Bluebook.
The project was headquartered
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
but is no longer receiving, documenting,
or investigating UFO reports.
Many claim the project
was a massive coverup
of evidence of alien encounters.
Major General John A. Samford speaks.
- However there have
been a certain percentage
of this volume of reports
that have been made
by credible observers of
relatively incredible things.
It is this group of observations
that we now are attempting to resolve.
Our basic difficulty in dealing with these
is that there is no measurement of them
that makes it possible for us to put them
in any pattern that would be profitable
for a deliberate custom sort of analysis
to take the next step.
We have as of date come to
only one firm conclusion
with respect to this remaining percentage,
and that is that it does
not contain any pattern
of purpose or of consistency
that we can relate
to any conceivable threat
to the United States.
- Project Bluebook Special Report 14.
Two important things about it.
It was not in the mid-50s.
They looked at 3201
sightings in Air Force study,
and they found ...
There's all kinds of charts,
tables, graphs, maps.
It's chockfull of data.
And it was found that 21.5%
of the cases couldn't be identified.
That there were some cases
had to be listed as
insufficient information.
There was aircraft, balloon,
astronomical, et cetera.
But they found the better
the quality of the sighting,
the more likely to be unexplainable,
which means that it's probably real data.
They looked at a Chi Square analysis,
the characteristics of the
unknowns versus the knowns,
and the two groups matched.
The chance that the
unknowns are just misknowns,
less than 1%,
but in the press release, the
report was not distributed.
But a press release is getting
pretty wide distribution in the mid-50s.
They said even the unknown
3% could've been identified
as conventional phenomena or illusions
if more complete observational
data had been available.
That's a complete and total lie.
The unknowns weren't 3%.
The table showed 21.5%.
So 21.5% is not three rounded off
by any stretch of the imagination,
so it was a flat-out lie,
and that set the tone
for the next 70 years.
- [Dennis] Perhaps one of
the most remarkable cases
of unexplained aerial phenomena occurred
on a clear night over Phoenix, Arizona.
- The Phoenix Lights
happened March 13th, 1997,
with an object being
reported northwest of Phoenix
up in the Prescott valley area.
Lights, very bright lights.
The object appeared to have
been bigger than any aircraft
that the United States or
Russia or any other country
could get up in the air and
fly at 100 miles an hour,
which is what it was clocked at.
It was viewed by thousands of people.
Numerous pictures and videos.
We at MUFON have evaluated those pictures
with our photoanalysis
and we can't find anything
wrong with the pictures.
It appears that many people
saw a transparent solid object.
Others saw a solid object.
One report of a dentist traveling
along the highway from Phoenix to Tucson,
said that he could look
out the window of his car
on the driver's side and see one wing tip
and look out the window of the other side,
the passenger's side, and
see the other wing tip.
That's a pretty large craft.
Everybody did report that
it was five huge lights
on the bottom of this object.
Transparent or solid, we don't know.
The technology that they have,
if this is extraterrestrial,
would allow them to do that type of thing.
People can see through 'em.
They can't see through 'em.
We don't know why that
happens, but it does happen.
The object was seen by
air traffic controllers
at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
The object was seen by
commercial airline pilots
that reported it.
- [Dennis] There is no doubt
that thousands of people
saw something real that clear
Phoenix night, but what?
- The Phoenix Lights, I believe,
were extraterrestrial craft of some type.
I have no idea why.
Maybe it was time for them
to show themselves to us
and maybe not.
- [Dennis] Interestingly,
the craft was described
as having some interdimensional qualities
often reported during Bigfoot encounters,
including semi-transparency,
as if they're not quite
solid or of this world.
However, the most convincing
alien craft contact
came as a result of videos
shot by American naval aircraft
and released as part of the
top secret AATIP program.
- [Pilot] Go on, I can't see the wind.
The wind's 120 miles west.
Okay, I see two.
- [Dennis] The first video
came from what is known
as the 2004 USS Nimitz Incident
off the coast of San Diego.
Fighter pilots from the USS
Nimitz flying Super Hornets
encountered an aerial
object that was described
as 40 feet long and shaped like a Tic Tac.
- [Pilot] There's a whole
fleet of them, what can I say?
My gosh.
- [Dennis] The object
flying a random pattern,
appearing at 80000 feet,
and then dove to 20000
feet at incredible speed.
When the American fighter
plane approached the object,
it suddenly came at the plane
head-on before peeling away.
Although the fighter pilots were no longer
able to detect the object,
the radar controller at
the nearby USS Princeton
was able to follow the alien aircraft
for a few minutes before disappearing.
The next incident we know
about occurred 10 years later
off the east coast of the United States
and is known as the
USS Roosevelt Incident.
It is reported that many
strange aerial objects,
one of them like a spinning
top moving against the wind,
appeared almost daily from the
summer of 2014 to March 2015.
Navy pilots reported to their superiors
that the objects had no visible engine
or infrared exhaust plumes,
but that they could reach 30000
feet at hypersonic speeds.
In late 2014, a Super Hornet
pilot had a near collision
with one of the objects,
and an official mishap report was filed.
Some of the encounters
were captured on video,
including one taken by a
plane's camera in early 2015.
It is unknown how many
of these types of contact
have happened and not been made public.
By the late 1980s, another
kind of alien contact
captured the public imagination.
People who claimed
physical alien abduction,
people whose stories
would have been dismissed
as delusional a generation earlier,
were being interviewed by Oprah.
In addition, books about
alien abduction experiences
such as Whitley Strieber's "Communion,"
and Budd Hopkins "Intruders,"
were best sellers.
However, in the 21st
century, reports of that kind
of negative alien contact diminished
and were replaced by
something more interesting.
A merging of alien contact
with the paranormal.
- There are other kinds of
contact experiences going on
that people associate with
aliens or extraterrestrials.
And for lack of a better term,
I think we need to call them
non-human intelligent beings
because we really don't know what they are
or where they're from.
They could be interdimensional.
From a parallel universe,
not from another world far off in space.
And a lot of these contact
experiences take place
in what would be called a matrix reality.
That is the contactee is
suddenly transported to
kind of a liminal between world,
which someone described as
sounding like the astral plane,
which is neither here on
Earth nor somewhere else
like a craft per se.
Where they are having
some sort of interaction
with an intelligence, which
they may or may not see.
But there is telepathic communication,
there is a sense of a presence.
There is usually some
information imparted,
but we don't seem to get much
evidence that these beings
are specifically here to warn
us, help us, enlighten us,
give us technology, give
us medical information.
But they're here to have some
sort of interaction with us
that awakens something
in our consciousness.
- [Dennis] As we learn,
this is often how a Bigfoot
encounter is described,
described as spiritual in nature.
This kind of contact has been a big part
of most native cultures.
Bigfoot is known in North
America through ancient rock art
and stories of Native American encounters.
It's where the name Sasquatch,
or hairy giant, got it's origins.
It seems that native,
our First Nation people,
are more open to Bigfoot encounters,
both in the past and
even now in the present.
Winona Kirk, a Lakota,
had her own transformational
Bigfoot encounter.
- Some elders would say they're spirit,
part spirit, part animal, but
the First Nation's people,
my relatives, have kind of
a mystical or spiritual way
of looking at all creation, so.
I did talk to some elders who said,
"Oh, I had them around my camp."
- [Dennis] Research has
shown that after WWII,
reports of Sasquatch encounters
were growing in number,
but the big change in
the awareness of Bigfoot
occurred in 1967, when what became known
as a Patterson-Gimlin film
showed the mysterious beast
as it lumbered along the
Northern California riverbank.
Since then, not only have
reports of Bigfoot encounters
skyrocketed across America and the world,
but also in many ways it initiated
a new era of crytozoology researchers.
In particular, Bigfoot investigators.
Bigfoot investigators,
who began intense searches
for the big hairy beast.
Cliff Barackman, a
claimed Bigfoot researcher
and one of the hosts of the
hit Animal Planet series,
Finding Bigfoot, is one
of the major proponents
of Bigfoot being a
living, breathing animal.
- From my personal experience,
I've never had anything happen
ever that would convince me
that these things are anything other than
perfectly normal species
of ape or higher primate
of some sort that shares
the planet with us.
- [Dennis] While working for the
American Museum of Natural
History in New York,
Dr. Esteban Sarmiento was
the go-to primatologist
on evidence relating to Bigfoot.
- If Bigfoot did exist,
and he is a great ape,
he didn't come from North America.
He must've came over from Asia,
and that's the other thing, too.
When you look at First Nation
or you look at American-Indian lore,
it's not an animal that lives down
in (in foreign language), in Mexico.
It's an animal that's really
coming from the northwest,
and it has the same
distribution as other animals
that came over the Bering
straight from Asia.
- [Dennis] Because of so many reports
from nearly every corner of the world,
all the Bigfoot investigators agreed
that there must be at least
a couple thousand Bigfoot
distributed across the planet.
However, descriptions vary.
- The appearance of a
Sasquatch is somewhere between
an adult gorilla and a human being.
Generally speaking, an
adult male Sasquatch stands
between eight and nine feet tall.
They're very broad-shouldered.
Maybe about three and a half,
four feet wide at the shoulder.
A lot of times they kind of narrow
at the hips a little bit, very muscular.
- They obviously have a
different neck structure
and different leg structure.
A different bone structure than we do.
- I've heard of Sasquatches
being reddish in color,
black in color, gray, coyote-colored.
The fur runs the gambit and
so does the skin tone as well.
I've heard of Caucasian
kind of skin tones.
I've heard gray, dark black.
I've heard reddish, all these things.
Sasquatches have a huge genetic diversity,
as would be expected
of a species like that.
- [Dennis] At the same time,
numerous Bigfoot research organizations
were established across
North America and Europe.
The granddaddy of them all
is The Bigfoot Field
Researcher Organization.
Trained investigators examine and record
hundreds of Bigfoot encounters every year.
And of course, there are an
endless parade of sketchy videos
showing obscure images of Bigfoot.
- [Man] Oh, and there he goes.
- [Dennis] Most are easily
recognized as hoaxes.
After more than 50 years of failure
to capture or videotape
clearly a single Bigfoot,
the attitude towards what this
creature is began to change.
Change as contact reports were cataloged
and a group of investigators
noticed some patterns
that pointed to not an elusive primate,
but something more
paranormal, something alien,
something that is a non-human intelligence
greater then our own.
- The characteristics that are associated
with the paraphysical nature of Bigfoot
include telepathic communication.
People who have had, especially
multiple close encounters,
and a lot of these would be individuals
who spend a lot of time in the woods,
like people who are
hunting, fishing, camping,
or maybe they live in remote areas.
They feel that they have
telepathic communication
with these beings and
that they are intelligent,
maybe even superior to human beings.
And many of these messages
are benign or friendly.
There are people who have had
more aggressive encounters
where the Sasquatch is
a little more hostile,
and maybe it's because they
feel that their territory
has been intruded upon.
So we have telepathy.
We have what would be called
as biolocation or rapid transport,
and that's the ability to be
here and then suddenly there
without visual means of getting there.
That has been described on many occasions
where people will see a
being in front of them
and then suddenly it's behind them
and they don't see it go behind them.
How did it get there?
It's just suddenly there.
- He was walking into a clearing,
which I could see it
was lit up by the sun.
There was trees that were
about 20 yards apart,
and he walking in between two
crops of trees, pine trees.
He went out in to a clearing,
and as he walked into the clearing,
there was a shimmer that began in a circle
and it came in like this
and kept going like this.
And as he kept walking,
everything that was on the outside
of the shimmer disappeared
and it got to the center
and it just went away.
And at that point, he was gone.
And I observed closely to
see if there was any way
that it could've shifted right or left
or if it went straight
ahead, but he didn't.
He was walking into the
clearing and it just vanished.
And everybody got excited,
couldn't believe what we saw.
It was just really a
life-changing experience for me.
- If the Bigfoot seems to want
to be material and tangible,
it seems to have the ability to do that.
And then to turn itself
into something intangible
as though it's going through
an interdimensional doorway.
- [Dennis] Jim Myers is typical
of a Bigfoot investigator
who has changed his mind
about the nature of Bigfoot.
- I came to the conclusion that
Bigfoot's more than an ape,
more than America's great ape,
and probably even more than
just an undiscovered species
in America or around the world, actually.
I think they're not
categorized yet, obviously.
We don't have a body, we don't have bones.
There's a lot of reasons
for that, I think,
but probably the primary reason
that led me to concluding
that there may be even an
extraterrestrial in origin
is the fact that they
disappear in front of people.
I have two personal friends
that have watched a Sasquatch,
while they're watching it,
literally shrink and disappear to nothing,
kind of go pixelated and then be gone.
And I've experienced something
and have other friends as
well who've experienced
something that we would call cloaking,
where there is something there,
but you could see through it,
but there was just something there
that you couldn't actually see.
I call it the predator effect
from the movie "Predator."
And so those two things, the
cloaking and the disappearing,
said to me anyway, these
are my own conclusions.
If Sasquatch can disappear
seemingly at will,
one, where did they go?
Did they go cloaked and
they're still there?
Or did they go out of this dimension?
My own opinion, and of course nobody
has anything but opinions in this realm,
is that they go into
a different dimension.
- And started looking out the
windows through binoculars
and just kind of scanning
the beautiful scenery,
and came over between these two trees,
these two parallel trees
and something looked odd.
And it was this kind of pixelated image,
and as I drew it into more definition,
it was in the shape of a Sasquatch.
And I took the binoculars down
to make sure that I wasn't-
(laughs)
and it was still there, and I thought,
"Wow," and I put them back
up and down and back up.
And then I thought in my head,
"In order for me to
believe what I'm seeing,
"you're gonna have to move."
And then it moved, 'cause
it was facing full front,
turned to the side, then it turned back.
And I just immediately was
just overwhelmed with gratitude
that I got to see something like that.
- Arguably, they were
just normal unknown apes.
There shouldn't be any
paranormal aspects at all.
You know what I mean?
There should not be anything
that deals with animals vanishing.
You don't get reports from Africa
of people seeing gorillas vanish,
or weird lights around them.
You don't see monkeys for
example, things like that,
vanishing in the flash of an eye.
So why should you see Bigfoot?
The answer is you shouldn't.
You should not see a creature,
even if we don't know what it is,
it shouldn't be vanishing.
It shouldn't be seen with strange lights
and UFOs in the sky,
so there's gotta be something
that goes beyond that.
- It's kind of funny.
I think there's ample evidence that there
are creatures that I will call Bigfoot,
because I don't know what
else to call them, here.
Whether these are transplants
from someplace else,
maybe the heavy lifters for the aliens
that are coming here, I don't know.
I think they're part of the
picture of us having to realize
that we need to expand
our view of ourselves,
our planet, our neighborhood.
- [Dennis] Another Bigfoot investigator
who changed his mind
about the primate nature
of Bigfoot is Ron Morehead.
His what is called the Sierra Sounds,
recorded in the California
Sierra Mountains,
are some of the most compelling evidence
of Bigfoot's alien origin.
(wailing)
Unearthly voices are
another paranormal feature
associated with Bigfoot.
- When I first encountered a family
of these things in the 70s,
we thought they were probably
just an ape out there
and then we treat 'em as such,
but they're more than that.
We couldn't trick 'em, we tried.
We couldn't get a picture, we tried.
One thing we captured
was their vocalizations,
(whooping)
which has been scientifically studied now,
and by Dr. Karen, her
year-long studies showing
that there was a bellow
above and in the human range,
which suggested they can mimic
just about any animal out there.
(howling)
(shouting)
(whooping)
(mumbling)
The aptitude is what gives
them away, they're huge.
These creatures are huge.
It wasn't until 2008 'til a crytolinguist,
trained by the Navy as a crytolinguist,
transcribed foreign
languages, languages unknown,
and he transcribed a complex
language within these sounds.
(hooting)
And that puts it in a whole new frame.
We knew what we were listening to.
We knew they were talking to each other,
and sometimes talking to us,
but until you got a professional
behind you saying that,
no one's gonna believe
it, so that happened,
Most recently, just very recently,
a guy did a 20-minute
episode on the Sierra Sounds
and he claims that he has
established it in one tone,
he can make five octaves.
And if that's the case, if
I can get that corroborated
by a biophysical engineer
someplace, it's profound.
It should the be smoking
gun of Bigfoot discoveries.
- [Dennis] Even James Bobo Fay,
another of Animal Planet's
Finding Bigfoot's host,
no longer takes the series flesh
and blood Bigfoot line seriously anymore.
He has personally experienced
some of the typical
paranormal features
associated with Bigfoot.
- I saw a blue ball of light
going through the woods
and where it was going,
there was crashing sounds,
like a Bigfoot walking.
It sounded just like big
bipedal long steps and crunch,
kind of breaking branches,
but I didn't see it turn
into a Bigfoot or anything
but it was definitely associated.
And that same night, there's
this weird flashing up
in the trees before I
saw that ball of light.
There was three or four
big pine or fir trees,
and way up like 100 something
feet up near the tops,
they were lit up like a strobe light.
Like five flashes really fast,
but there was no discernible angle here.
The light was all encompassing.
It wasn't one direction,
there were shadows and stuff.
It was all lit up like daylight
almost, and but in a box.
So then and I've seen orbs out there
when I've been Squatching.
I was actually with Renee
on the show as a skeptic,
and she was standing right there.
The whole production
crew were sitting there
watching these two orbs just bouncing on.
They ended up, we measured
it later to 70 feet from us,
go on walking pace and
they just tell me that
when they travel sometimes.
So they travel in their spirit form.
It's like a ball of light.
- The phenomena associated
with their manifestations
defies natural explanation,
and I think that we must turn
to paraphysical or
interdimensional considerations
if we're going to fully
understand their presence on Earth
and their interactions with humans.
- [Dennis] The conclusion
many Bigfoot, alien
and paranormal investigators have come to
is that an important wave of these events
are part of a spectrum of
alien contact experiences
occurring right now on the planet.
Paranormal events that are
showing up in thousands
of what are called hotspots
found throughout the planet,
hotspots that are said to
be thin to the other side
or another dimension.
Some like the (in foreign
language) shrine in New Mexico
are places of healing and
Christian spiritual realization.
Some are places like
Virginia's Monroe Institute,
where people travel to
higher planes of existence
and learn remote viewing.
Others like Stonehenge have long standing
sacred significance for
indigenous cultures,
and are often mentioned in connection
with ancient alien contact.
Others are places where
geophysical and energetic anomalies
can be detected and felt.
One such hotspot is the Montana Vortex
just outside Glacier National Park.
Identified by the indigenous
tribes of the area
as a sacred place of healing,
it was turned into the House of Mystery,
a tourist attraction in 1970.
Then in 2014, long time
Bigfoot researcher Joe Hauser
bought the property as an opportunity
to explore the paranormal.
Paranormal that included
strange photographic effects,
the sudden appearance of stick glyphs,
the presence of orbs,
unexplained aerial phenomena emerging
from Columbia Mountain,
and a resident Bigfoot, whose
arm was mysteriously captured
on a tourist cell phone photograph.
The renovated facility and
grounds are open to guided tours
during the summer season.
Joe showed us some of the
rather unusual gravitational
and visual effects the place is known for.
- I'm just gonna be a point
of reference in the center.
I'm not gonna change.
You're the show now.
You're looking pretty tall there.
Give me an eyeball, there.
Pretty tall there.
Change sides, go all the way
to the end of the platform
so you're back there by the rock wall.
And then, oh, I think you
shrunk over there, didn't ya?
Instantaneously, from one
side of the energy field
to the other.
Come on back this way.
Walk real slowly, watch
her grow as she goes
right in front of me just like that.
You grew right back up again.
- [Alan] Walk around the back.
- Yeah, go to the back, too.
Same thing, and just like
that, you shrunk now.
You got a marble with you by any chance?
- I do.
- Just in case
my level wasn't on the level.
Why don't you put a marble down there
anywhere you wanna put it?
You can even move it around if you'd like.
And if this platform wasn't level,
we'd have to have about three
or four inches difference here
if that marble would probably
take off and roll somewhere.
What do you guys think?
Pretty level?
- [Dennis] The Hausers have
located on the property
at least five what are called vortexes.
- Well, we found the center spiral lines.
We found straight lines,
and then we found these whirlpools.
And the whirlpools get bigger
the further they go out,
and they actually match up
to those mathematical points
that Fibonacci figured
out in the 12th century
still holds for you today.
- [Dennis] Vortex spirals
that can produce disruption
or distortions in the
Earth's geomagnetic field
and perhaps the bending of
locally generated electromagnetic
and electrical fields.
This kind of bending could
produce some unusual phenomena,
phenomena that include visual distortions,
cloaking and many of the paranormal events
associated with Bigfoot contacts,
as well as unusual personal
feelings and sometimes healings,
healings that occur
particularly in the big vortex.
- It's always a good calm energy in there.
We built the labyrinth in this.
Kind of a meditation-healing
walk these vortexes,
'cause they are magnetic in nature,
have really good healing quality.
- [Dennis] Then there's
the House of Mystery,
built around one of the smaller vortexes.
Inside, it exhibits rather
strange gravitational effects
as demonstrated by Joe Hauser.
- The house is tilted
at 18 degrees on purpose
so we can come inside
and have a good time.
That's only about a four and
12 pitch, so as a carpenter,
we could easily walk around
on a roof a lot steeper
than this and not constantly
get pushed downhill.
But here's what's gonna happen.
I'm just gonna demonstrate everything
for you really quickly, and
then you guys can play around
with it a little bit yourself.
This platform right here is level.
People wanna know what the house
would be like at this level.
Here's your chance to find out.
When you stand on it,
let's look at our feet.
When you raise your head, you
see I'm not standing straight.
I'm leaning forward a couple bubbles,
so you'll do the same.
You guys try to stand up straight on here.
You can't, the energy will
push you over backwards.
Why don't you get on here?
Give it a try, just lean back.
You'll know exactly when you're 90 degrees
'cause you'll feel it.
It rocks you back on your
heels, lift your toes up.
Just like it wants to toss
you through the window.
So even if the house was level,
we'd have to lean in to feel a little bit.
- [Dennis] While the unusual
vortex effects are interesting,
it is the reports of Bigfoot,
unexplained aerial phenomena,
and orbs that make it
a paranormal hotspot.
As darkness set in,
we were hoping to film
the presence of orbs.
- Because they're out of
our visual light spectrum,
they're probably in the infrared section
of the light spectrum, we don't see 'em.
Then there's some people
believe that orbs are souls.
Many of the photos we see
here have faces in 'em
that almost like you're
looking at a human face.
Some of 'em have animal faces.
And then some of them appear to be,
almost like visitors
from another dimension.
They're like a drone.
They fly around, they have intelligence,
they move around people,
they circle people,
they avoid trees, and it's
like they're being controlled
from somewhere else where they have
some sort of intelligence
that they can move around.
- [Dennis] As Hauser and his wife Tammy
snapped pictures with their cameras,
we began filming them and the grounds
with our infrared night vision turned on.
Perhaps no other paranormal phenomena
is more closely associated
with Bigfoot than orbs.
While we had no luck capturing orbs,
the Hausers were more successful.
- [Joe] A few right there.
A lot more, and then
all at once right there.
Not any big ones though.
- [Dennis] Tammy got
something on her camera.
- [Tammy] See, these are the
first pictures, and then that.
You see that cloudiness?
- [Alan] Yeah.
- [Tammy] It's almost like a
sort of starting to
manifest, the red orbs.
See that big red orb up there?
See that giant one?
- [Dennis] By far the
most interesting results
occurred at the end of our filming
in a sequence of pictures
with us in the frame,
taken within a second according
to the camera timestamp.
- [Tammy] And there.
- [Joe] There's two or
three of them with them in there,
and then there's some without.
- [Tammy] Oh, yeah, look, they're strong.
- [Dennis] We could detect no trickery
in the sequence of images.
Next, we turned our attention
to Columbia Mountain,
where many sightings
of UAPs have occurred,
but on this night, nothing happened.
But earlier, something
remarkable happened.
While in the Mystery House,
we took a number of readings
with the usual paranormal
detection devices.
There were no results out of the norm,
except that the gamma radiation readings
inside the House of Mystery
were 30 clicks per minute,
compared to outside's
20 clicks per minute.
But what about the resident Bigfoot
that Joe claims to have
regular contact with?
He talked about him in the Mystery House.
- He's big, he's probably about seven,
seven and a half foot tall.
Big shoulders, narrow waist.
He would be a sub-adult
now, and he's young, guys.
Still probably maybe
20, 20 plus years old.
But when he--
- [Alan] Is this where
the other photos you got was captured?
- Yeah, in here, yeah.
And he's in here, we're
pretty sure during the summer,
sometimes I'll bring the
chair up and meet him here
like an 800 pound person
walking across in here,
and there's nobody in here.
(laughs)
Yeah, and then, or he'll, as you come in,
you'll hear him walk out
like he's already in here.
But he shows he likes this area over here.
We kind of, we can just stand
there and eyeball everybody
that comes in and stuff like that.
- [Dennis] As he's talking
about his resident Bigfoot,
something startling moves into the frame.
- As you come in, you'll
here him walk out,
like he's already in here.
- [Dennis] A fairy,
moth-like creature appears
for a little over three seconds.
Here it is in slow motion.
Inexplicably, it's the
brightest thing in the frame,
as if self-illuminating.
Of course, one of the most
reported capabilities of Bigfoot
is their ability to shape-shift,
to morph into multiple forms and orbs.
There is a bit of irony here,
in that this giant creature
is perhaps showing itself
as a tiny fairy-like being.
It's as if they have a sense of humor.
- Sense of humor is one
indication of higher intelligence.
The more you study the
Sasquatch as an entity,
the more you start to see
sense of humor being thrown
back at you with the games
and tricks that they play.
- [Dennis] Thom Powell is one
of the early Bigfoot investigators
who recognized Bigfoot's
alien paranormal nature.
He thinks because we were able
to capture something on
video, that whatever they are,
they are aware of what we are doing
in this documentary and approve.
So it was natural that we
would ask him to lead us
on a visit to one of the
new paranormal hotspots.
A hotspot dubbed the Owl Moon Lab
by Bigfoot investigator, Tobe Johnson,
is just outside of Eugene, Oregon,
where multiple paranormal, Bigfoot,
and alien phenomena are
occurring regularly.
We wanted to understand why.
- We're gonna head out to
what we call the Owl Moon Lab.
It got that name for a reason.
I can explain that when we get there.
It's a personal property
out on Cottage Grove,
not too far from where
the London tracks were.
- [Dennis] On February 12th, 2012,
122 prints of a possible
Bigfoot were found
by Tobe Johnson south of Eugene, Oregon.
Accessed by London Road,
a road that parallels Cottage Grove Lake,
they became known as
the London Footprints.
Their origin was controversial.
Either they are the best
example of Bigfoot prints,
or a great hoax.
The flesh and blood
Bigfoot community came down
on the side of a hoax, but
Thom Powell is not so sure.
- They found not just a few more prints,
but dozens of prints that
went way out into the lake bed
and all the way to the shore
of the much reduced reservoir.
So they got very excited
and called up Cliff Barackman
and I up in Portland.
We gathered together a bunch
of plaster and came down here
and cast a quite a series of prints.
In the end, it was approximately 130.
Some of them better than others.
They had all been sitting
there for a few days
by the time we got there,
but they're still pretty well-preserved
because the mud was so
sticky and stiff by then.
So we did cast a whole bunch of footprints
and it is one of the more
famous footprint finds of late
for a couple of reasons.
Number one, there were so many of them.
And number two, they seem to indicate
something about it, behavior.
The thing walking out on the
lake bed and cruising around
and then turning around and walking back.
So we cast as many as we
had and plastered a cast.
The controversy continues.
There are people as always
who insist that they're fakes
and then there's others who dispute that.
I'm convinced that they're
genuine footprints.
- [Dennis] The Owl Moon
Lab a few miles away
from the footprints turns
out to be a property
and home owned by Darrell and his wife,
transplants from California who wanted
to be near their grandchildren.
Surprisingly, the portal
or the origination point
of the paranormal activity
is an ordinary shed.
- Okay, so from here on out,
Darrell's only gonna be
known as Darrell and Cindy
because the house is actually up for sale,
and we want to keep it a good sale,
so this--
- Thom.
- Thom, Darrell.
- Nice meeting you.
- Thanks for having us.
- Alan.
- Alan, nice meeting ya.
- Cameraman.
- Hey.
- So you can attest the craziness here?
- Yeah, like I always say, that
was normal when I got here.
(laughing)
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- This is the epicenter.
I would call this anything,
this would be the Faraday
cage, the transmitter.
And putting a capstone on this, okay,
is kind of like bottling up a fizzy soda.
This seems to be where
everyone wants to come
for whatever reason.
It's brand-new, it's less
than a year and a half old.
All the siding was put up.
New garage doors, that cement
foundation was laid there.
It was just gravel and
lumber before and a roof.
That was it.
- [Dennis] Strange
events started occurring
when Tobe and Darrell cast
some Bigfoot knee prints
and brought them back to Darrell's place.
- As soon as we brought those
knees and housed them here,
it seemed like a giant
welcoming committee said,
"Okay, you got something.
"We like it, you like it.
"Maybe we'll come visit more often."
- Well the acts in there is that
when you start studying them,
they start studying you.
So that's a John Keelism that
he tendered back in the 60s
when he was looking into
these paranormal matters.
And the more he looked at
it, the more he became aware
that he was being observed or scrutinized,
and many a Bigfoot researcher
has had that experience where,
"They know where I live."
(laughs)
- [Dennis] One of the most common forms
of interaction with Bigfoot
and other paranormal entities
is called gifting, the
unexpected appearance,
exchange, and moving of objects
such as feathers, rocks,
and personal items.
- The gifts here are extremely personal.
They seem to not only listen
to what you're saying,
but understand who family members are,
that may have been to this property
or haven't been to this property.
Some of the things that have
happened here are applications.
Objects that appear out of
nowhere or seemingly nowhere.
For example, one day
I came home from work.
I was living right over
here in the tree site
in a little camper.
And Darrell and I walked
inside the garage here
to download some audio
from the evening prior.
And I walked back out,
I looked at my camper,
and there was something sparkly sitting
on top of the camper--
- The awning.
- Awning, yes.
And it was gold, and I thought,
"What the heck?
"I just looked at the camper.
"I know it wasn't there."
It's up a good eight
feet, a gold shiny object.
Well, we go this by now
is kind of a routine.
Bringing things off this camper awning
when we turn our back,
but recently Cindy said,
"Bring us a bag of gold.
"Bring us some gold."
(laughing)
So when I see gold
sitting on top of there,
I'm like, "Is it gold gold?"
Well, they got a sense of humor.
So we bring it down, get it, and--
- Pyrite.
- No.
It's an old rifle casing from the 1800s.
- Oh.
- I don't know
if you remember the old rifles?
- Yeah, it's an old Peter's rifle casing.
- Yeah, just sitting right
up there on top of it.
So that's the kind of sense
of humor that they have.
Bring us a bag of money.
"We'll leave a bag with three blackberries
"sitting hanging on that
tree there, how's that?
"That's your bag of money."
Cindy has heart surgery, his wife.
They bring her a little glass heart
and set it by the hummingbird feeder.
So this was our rock setup here,
and one of the things that we would do,
actually only recently
after we found out that this
was a thing that people were doing,
is we would spell things out with letters.
One of the major things that
happened here was only recently
where I spelled out in letters here,
"Thank you for gifts."
Three days later, actually
I think after Henry Franzoni
was here in (in foreign language),
spelled out with letters and numbers,
'cause they didn't have enough letters
to spell out this word, they used numbers.
Underneath, "Thank you for
gifts," was spelled, "Welcome."
And they used the letter
three to make an E
and the number four to make a C,
'cause they ran out of letters.
(laughing)
Now, an animal could do all this stuff.
I don't know where, but
we're beyond the fact
that it's anything other
than an animal at this point
because of the fact
that we have the sounds
of them interacting, vocalizing, speaking.
And oh, by the way, they don't walk in.
When they interact with a puzzle,
'cause we record behind this wall,
they interact with the
puzzle like they're hanging
like Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible."
They drop into existence,
you hear them vocalize, huff,
they do the percussive
(mumbles), whatever.
And then they work the
puzzle, and then they're gone.
- [Dennis] People in the
neighborhood constantly report
many cases of an unexplained
aerial phenomenon.
Darrell describes what he captured
on his cell phone on evening.
- I believe it was a Sunday night,
right when high school
graduation stuff was going on.
And I brought my dog out
about 11:00 at night,
and right above that treeline there,
I saw something that appeared
to be fireworks going off.
So I thought that maybe there
was some kids up in the woods
doing fireworks for
graduation or something.
As I stood there for a minute,
the thing started coming this
way and it wasn't fireworks.
And I tried to hold my
phone as good as I could,
and it just kept going all over the place.
It was real hard to stay up with,
but then it would just flash,
looked like a jellyfish
or something-like flash, expand flash.
Go off, vanish for a minute sometimes,
and then come right back
in a little different area.
And then it just kept
doing that, doing that,
and then it got right over
me and it just went out.
And it was gone.
And I stood there for a
while and it never came back.
- [Dennis] Here's a UAP
enhanced and slowed down.
Watch it change shape.
It also has an unusual center.
Much of the most significant
paranormal activity here
comes from Tobe and Darrell's EVPs,
(yipping)
known by ghost hunters as
electronic voice phenomenon,
that is audio recordings that let you hear
from spirit voices that are
not picked up by the human ear.
(grunting)
Some of these have the quality of ghosts.
- We got an EVP the day of the funeral
of the boy that committed
suicide that grew up
in this room of the prior owners.
The day of his memorial,
we got an EVP of a child
saying, "I'm dead."
We went in there to check
the EVP and we found these,
and these are little tiny
four-fingered hand prints
that are infused into the bedroom door.
They're chalky white hand prints
about twice as small as mine.
We used the actual prints here,
and if you can see, they're
very unusual anatomically.
They have hard line
edges in the palm here.
They're gnarled in the
fingertips and kind of twisted.
- [Dennis] Tobe invited Thom
to listen to a number
of the unusual sounds
they have recorded in
and outside the shed.
- This is what this place turns into.
(hissing)
(cracking)
(clinking)
That's right here.
For 30 minutes.
(cracking)
Not a thing moved off the counter.
Not a dent.
Not a bird shit.
- [Alan] When we returned to camp up
at night and in the morning,
there was nothing touched.
That's how this place is.
- You wanna hear Bigfoot sounds?
Okay.
(howling)
I don't know if it gets better than that.
- That's your standard
that might make her scream.
- That's from the outdoors.
(howling)
That's in the backyard.
(howling)
- [Dennis] Here are a few
other voices and sounds
that had been recorded at Owl Moon Lab.
(shouting)
(mumbling)
As evening settled in, we,
including one of Darrell's neighbors, Ren,
decided to see if we could record
any paranormal activity in the shed.
Tobe described the setup
we were going to use.
- So it's as simple as putting
a recording device here
and a speaker outside.
So everyone's gonna
come outside and kind of
let this little portal,
for lack of a better word,
to start to introduce itself to us
and the area and some new faces.
And whether or not that makes
a difference, I don't know.
I think it might.
And then one by one
we'll send people in here
to see if we can measure that on camera.
- [Dennis] We waited outside
and listened for something to happen.
Finally, we heard a knock
from inside the shed.
(knocking)
(laughing)
- That was good, okay.
(knocking)
Nice work.
So that's kind of how you warm it up.
- [Dennis] The time had
come to send some of us
into the shed and see
what we could record.
Nothing happened until our
co-producer Alan Megargle
went inside with his camera,
camera audio and infrared lights.
At first there was nothing,
but then things started occurring.
(mumbling)
(cracking)
- [Alan] I heard that.
- [Tobe] Is that you?
- [Alan] No, but I heard it.
- [Dennis] Loud sounds
coming from inside the shed.
(cracking)
- [Alan] I heard that.
- [Dennis] With no apparent cause.
- [Tobe] Ask it a question, Alan.
- [Alan] Can you make more
noise so I know you're here?
(cracking)
- [Alan] I heard that, a little cracking.
Is this your home?
- [Tobe] Ask it if it's
from another dimension.
- [Alan] Small crack.
Why do you come here?
(cracking)
I heard that, small crack.
Have you ever had stuff actually move
while you were in here?
- No, only heard the sound of movement.
Never saw anything move.
(cracking)
- [Alan] Crack sounds.
(cracking)
Loud crack sound.
(clanging)
I don't even know what that sound was.
It sounded like something
trying to get in.
(laughing)
I feel something.
It got cold in here.
Are you here?
I heard that.
That's the corner right by you.
(tapping)
That was a little noise.
Center wall, towards you.
I feel that chill again.
I did not hear a knock.
Kind of a coldness across my whole body.
- [Dennis] Later, Alan
described the feeling
of a strong presence surrounding him.
It felt like something
had entered the shed.
Fortunately, we were able
to verify to some degree
the peculiar nature of the Owl Moon Lab
and it's potential as a portal.
A paranormal hotspot with a
wide range of unusual events
constantly occurring in a
single geographical location,
all pointing to the emerging idea
that more paranormal phenomena are part
of a connected otherworldly landscape.
In this case, Bigfoot, ghosts,
voices from the other side,
EVPs and unexplained sounds coming
from an otherwise normal shed.
(mumbling)
(cracking)
- [Alan] I heard that, a small crack.
- [Dennis] What we constantly heard
from paranormal Bigfoot investigators
was expect the unexpected.
- What we're starting to find
is that there are power spots.
There are places where things
happen much more frequently
than the rest of these places.
It appears that there are
places throughout the Earth
where energy is focused.
People describe them differently.
Lay lines, vortexes,
even black holes are considered
to be one of these places
where energy is concentrated.
What we're finding, I
think, is that these places
exist on the surface of the Earth.
And if you put yourself in these places,
if you can first identify these places,
and then put yourself in them,
things happen with a lot more regularity
and things happen a lot more dramatically.
So as much as anything,
we're just going around
trying to find these power spots.
Trying to find these vortexes, wormholes,
whatever you wanna call them,
and then see what's going on there
that we can hopefully begin to understand.
- [Dennis] So what is going on here?
The evidence is growing stronger,
and perhaps governments
already know full well
that we are not alone
here in our solar system.
That we are moving towards
an alien contact singularity
that will change everything
we believe about ourselves
and our place in the world.
Perhaps all you have
to do is open your mind
to your own personal alien
or Bigfoot awakening,
and they will find you.
After all, it's their game we are playing.
(dramatic music)
