NARRATOR: The UFO
threat is being
exposed by this former
Defense Department official.
There are unidentified
vehicles violating US airspace
with unknown intentions and
extraordinary capabilities
being encountered by
US military personnel.
CHRIS MELLON: We don't
know where they're from.
NARRATOR: Chris Mellon,
descendant of one
of America's most
influential families,
oversaw the budgets for
some of the military's most
top secret weapons programs.
After years of working
behind the scenes,
he has come forward to
warn the public about what
he says is the UFO threat.
We know this is happening now.
We know it's real.
NARRATOR: In 2017, "The New
York Times" exposed a secret $22
million Pentagon program
that investigated
incidents between UFOs
and military aircraft.
The article included
videos of these encounters.
CHRIS MELLON: People
could see for themselves
evidence of the phenomenon.
Have we been
technologically leapfrogged?
Could it be the Russians
or Chinese or someone else?
NARRATOR: In October of 2017,
the head of the UFO program,
Lou Elizondo, resigned in
protest of what he says
was the Pentagon's disregard
of overwhelming evidence
of extraordinary and
unexplained phenomena.
Elizondo joined
forces with Mellon
and other former
government officials
to investigate and
expose the UFO threat.
We've brought forward the
first truly authoritative
credible military information
about UFOs in decades,
if not ever.
We were all clamoring
to get on the radio.
Do you see in the water?
What the [muted] is that?
Large enough to scare
the [muted] out of me.
It was so unnerving because
it was so unpredictable.
Some of our military personnel
are so concerned that they're
willing to put their
careers on the line
to speak out about this.
NARRATOR: In April
of 2019, the US Navy
announced a new
reporting process
for unexplained sightings
by military personnel.
With mounting evidence,
Mellon believes
we are at a turning point.
Carl Sagan once
famously said about UFOs,
"extraordinary claims
require extraordinary proof."
He was absolutely right.
But now we have the proof.
The question now is, will
people look at the evidence,
and are they able to process it?
