19x09 - Aliens in our Airspace

[bunniefuu]

Terrifying encounters

at 40,000 feet.

So I kind of looked

over my left shoulder,

and there’s this

bright light in our face.

It’s a pulsating orb.

Look at that, dude.

Look at that.

Pilot accounts of UFOs

taking control

of their aircraft.

Goes to move the yoke,

and the yoke is

moving on itself.

If it climbs any further,

it will stall out.

And entire jumbo jets

disappearing into thin air.

How do you have a commercial

airliner just vanish?

Since the dawn of aviation,

pilots have experienced

unexplainable events in the sky.

Is it possible that

what they have witnessed

are aliens in our airspace?

When

you have thousands of pilots

coming forward with encounters

that they’ve witnessed

up in the sky,

with so-called UFOs,

I think we should

pay more attention

to what these pilots

have been saying.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is

the promise of truth.

It demands

we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is

right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

In 2017, The New York

Times broke the story

of the U.S. government’s

secret investigations

into unexplained

aerial phenomena.

And in the years that followed,

a number of

sensational UFO videos

have been released,

or leaked, to the public.

Nearly all of the footage

was recorded by cameras

mounted on U.S. Navy

fighter jets.

The videos captured the public’s

imagination like

no other UFO images

that had come before them

But Navy pilots are not alone

in witnessing unidentified

flying objects.

For decades, shocking encounters

have been reported

by non-m*llitary,

civilian pilots.

UAP sightings by

commercial airline pilots

are a lot more commonplace

than what we generally think of.

We’ve seen a lot of

the footage from the m*llitary,

but we’re actually

getting a lot more reports

from our civilian pilots.

There are more civilian

pilots than m*llitary pilots.

And you have

an exponentially

larger amount of flights

with commercial airlines

than you do with

m*llitary airplanes.

Japan Airlines Flight 1628

is carrying cargo

from Paris, France

to Narita International

Airport near Tokyo.

The three-person crew

is led by Captain

Kenju Terauchi,

an ex-fighter pilot with over

10,000 hours of flight time.

As the 747 approaches Anchorage,

Captain Terauchi

notices two strange lights

out of his cockpit window.

It’s dark. It’s, uh, very

early morning. Before sunrise.

These lights are

clearly maneuvering.

They are, in relationship

to each other,

one is on top of the other,

and they move directly

in front of his aircraft.

Now, he’s flying at

about 500 miles per hour.

These things are pacing him.

Captain Terauchi

realizes the lights

are strange oval-shaped

flying objects,

and they are getting dangerously

close to his aircraft.

As bright lights

fill the cockpit,

Captain Terauchi radios

the Anchorage Air

Traffic Control Center

and asks if they can identify

the objects near his plane.

As Terauchi attempts

a series of evasive maneuvers

to avoid a potential collision,

the two UFOs suddenly disappear.

In their place

is another object.

One so large, it dwarfs the 747.

His words for describing it

were, "gigantic spaceship

the size of maybe

two aircraft carriers."

Just immense.

Tarauchi sees this

massive thing in the sky,

and he’s scared.

Concerned by Captain

Terauchi’s report,

the air traffic controller

calls NORAD,

the North American

Aerospace Defense Command,

based at Elmendorf

Air Force Base in Anchorage.

Communication specialists

at the airbase

confirm that there is a very

large unidentified object

on their radar screens.

Traffic control told them

that they could actually

take whatever evasive

actions they needed to,

to avoid collision,

and they even dropped

down to 4,000 feet

above sea level,

and the thing continued

to follow them.

Air traffic control

diverted another

commercial flight to

come look at this UFO.

And by the time they got there,

the UFO was completely gone.

One of the reasons

why the J.A.L. report is

such a big deal is because

the corroborating

evidence is overwhelming.

Not only were there

eyewitness reports,

but there’s the records of

the communication systems

that Terauchi was in touch with,

actual dialogue that happened.

"Hey, we are up here.

We see this. Are you guys

seeing this on your radar?"

All this stuff is recorded.

Once safely grounded,

Captain Terauchi, his copilot

and flight engineer

were immediately interviewed

by Alaska Federal Aviation

Administration officials

and other special agents.

There’s an FAA

investigation into this.

There’s lots of documentation.

There’s no real, hard

and fast conclusion about this.

And so, the pilot,

perhaps out of frustration,

talks to the media.

In December 1986,

one month after the encounter,

Captain Terauchi

contacted Kyodo News

and said he believed

the mysterious crafts

were of extraterrestrial origin.

The unauthorized statements

prompted Japan

Airlines officials

to remove Captain Terauchi

from pilot duty,

and assign him to a desk job.

Around the same time,

John Callahan,

the FAA’s division chief

of the Accidents

and Investigations branch.

learned of the incident

and deemed it

worthy of investigation.

John Callahan

went to D.C. about this,

and there was a meeting

that was chaired by

one of the top

people of the FAA.

This meeting was also attended

by representatives of the FBI,

representatives of the CIA

and representatives of

President Reagan’s White House.

They had audiotapes

that were played,

between the pilot

and air traffic control,

describing everything

that was happening,

and written reports.

And at the end of the meeting,

one of the CIA, uh, agents

stood up and said,

"This meeting never happened,

"and we’re confiscating

all of the data

that has been, uh, shared here."

Now, Callahan,

he was a little sly,

but he was within his rights.

"They never asked me,"

he said, "if I had a copy

of any of this myself," he said.

"Which I did."

He had a copy of the audio

recordings, if nothing else.

And a little over

a decade later,

shared that with the public.

John Callahan came away

with the feeling

that there was

essentially a kind of coverup.

The FAA didn’t want the fact

that this incident

had occurred to get out.

I’ve spoken to pilots

who have seen

amazing things out there,

but never report it

because of the fear

of being disbelieved,

being ridiculed, and

perhaps, being grounded.

You won’t be flying anymore.

So, what do they say?

Most times, nothing.

You have countless commercial

and private airline pilots

who spend an exorbitant

amount of time up in the sky.

And, in my opinion,

I think they’re the best people

to discern what is natural

and what is not.

As far as ancient

astronaut theorists

are concerned,

UFO encounters

reported by civilian pilots

provide some of the

most compelling evidence

that there is an

extraterrestrial presence

in the skies above Earth.

And, according to some pilots,

what they’ve witnessed presents

a serious danger.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

UFO sightings reported by pilots

are particularly intriguing,

because while accounts of

strange phenomena in the sky

date back millennia,

it is only in the past century

that humans have had

an aerial vantage point.

For thousands of years,

we could only observe

things in the sky

from the ground,

but in the last hundred

or so years,

we’ve had the ability to fly.

And so now we’re up

in the sky ourselves.

We can discern natural

phenomena from powered craft.

Thousands of pilots

have reported observing

phenomena in the sky that do

not resemble any weather anomaly

or man-made aircraft

they’ve ever encountered.

Such was the case

with Captain Erik Delgado,

who served as an Air Force

pilot for ten years

before being hired

to fly for FedEx in 2001.

On the evening

of March 20, 2020,

Captain Delgado

departed from Mexico City

in a Boeing 767

bound for Memphis, Tennessee.

One hour into the flight,

Delgado noticed something

strange in the distance.

Usually when we get

to altitude, we’ll relax.

I was conversing

with my first officer,

and as I’m looking at him,

his eyes got really big

and, uh, his mouth

kind of dropped.

And I’m like, what

the hell is this guy looking at?

And he goes, "Look at

the sh**ting star,"

and he stops, never-never

finished the word, "Star."

And so I kind of looked

over my left shoulder,

and if you can, uh, imagine

a lighthouse in thin fog,

kind of just

a-a spotlight, sort of,

that just kind of came

over us, and I thought,

"Oh, my God,

it’s another airplane,

"and he’s got

a vector toward us.

What’s this clown doing?"

I grabbed the throttles,

gripping it with a death grip.

I was getting ready to

disconnect the autopilot.

And I’m looking at the screen,

realizing there’s

nothing on the screen.

Delgado immediately

used his digital camera

to record the astonishing sight.

Within minutes of the sighting,

the orb moved towards the plane

at a high rate of speed,

then suddenly stopped short.

My heart was racing still.

Speed doesn’t k*ll, you know?

Deceleration, stopping,

that’s what kills you.

And the fact that this

thing stopped like that,

if there were

somebody inside there,

you know, um,

our conventional laws

of physics and stopping,

they wouldn’t have

survived the g-forces,

to come to a stop like that.

The UAP flew alongside

Delgado’s aircraft

at an astonishing

500 miles per hour,

and yet there was no sign

of a propulsion system.

This thing was

parked on our wingtip,

about a thousand, 2,000 feet,

and it didn’t move.

With your naked eye, it was just

bright, dim, bright, dim.

And it was very cyclic.

It didn’t waver,

it was the same.

And you look through the camera,

and now you could

see features in a shape.

The object continued to track

Delgado’s aircraft

for nearly 30 miles.

This thing started rotating,

and started changing colors

and it started taking off.

And so, I’m zooming in

as fast as I could.

This thing took off with

pretty good velocity.

After making a safe landing,

Delgado shared his videos with

air operations center personnel,

even though his

copilot was reluctant

to file an official report.

There was still a stigma,

behind the whole thing.

You know, are they

gonna ground us?

Are they gonna ask

for our medical, you know?

Are we gonna

have to go see somebody?

So, I could understand

where he was coming from.

In recent years,

we’ve seen m*llitary pilots

being encouraged to come forward

and talk about

things they’ve seen.

The same has not necessarily

always extended

to commercial pilots

because there isn’t an interest

in collecting information

from those pilots

the same as there would be

with m*llitary pilots,

where in the interest

of national security,

if you see something,

say something.

But traditionally,

when commercial pilots

contacted the FAA,

they have been told,

"Hey, you need to talk

to civilian UFO researchers,"

or they don’t actually

have a clear idea

of where else they can

even log those reports.

So it’s a very

different situation.

Captain Delgado decided

not to give the video

to the FAA, and instead,

turned it over to

the National Aviation Reporting

Center on Anomalous Phenomena,

or NARCAP,

a civilian organization

made up of volunteers

who investigate

unidentified aerial sightings.

They concluded that

the glowing object

was consistent with that

of an exotic craft

with a plasma exterior that

could disrupt radar signals.

I think I saw some

intelligent anomaly.

It’s amazing, I-I’d like to know

more of the science

and the physics

behind what I was

looking at, maybe.

But, you know,

see the footage and-and

form your own opinions.

Things need to change,

because pilots should

be at the forefront

of being free enough

to come forward

to report what they saw.

The FAA has never conducted

an official investigation

into pilot Delgado’s incident.

But would they take

notice if a UFO sighting

affected an entire airport?

A ramp employee for

United Airlines Flight 446

spots a metallic

saucer-shaped object

hovering over gate C-17,

between 1,000 and 1,900

feet in the air.

Within minutes,

federal authorities

receive nearly a dozen

panicked phone calls

from airport personnel.

Here you have pilots,

here you have

people working at the airport,

and civilians going to

get on their flights,

all witness a UFO hovering

directly over one of

the gates at the airport.

This UFO was

cylindrical in shape.

It was metallic.

Witnesses estimated the object

to be between 16

and 24 feet in diameter.

Suddenly, this thing

just accelerates vertically,

and punches a hole

through the cloud.

Everyone’s staggered by this.

Now, there is

a meteorological phenomenon

called a "hole punch cloud."

But that doesn’t really

fit with the idea

that there was

this metallic craft

hovering before this happened.

A hole punch cloud

is a real phenomena,

but the weather

conditions needed

to produce a hole punch cloud

weren’t there that day.

They weren’t there that day.

And so that explanation

doesn’t make any sense at all.

The Chicago Tribune,

they end up filing

a Freedom of

Information Act request

with the FAA, and, lo and

behold, they get a recording.

So we have a United

Airlines supervisor

on the phone with the FAA

controller using the word "UFO."

So, once again,

we have a scenario

where the FAA,

and we have United

Airlines personnel,

in this case, saying

there’s nothing to see here,

but, in fact, there was.

Is it possible

the U.S. government

has been concealing evidence

about UAP sightings

near our airports?

According to UFO researchers,

it would fit

a disturbing pattern

of ignoring what many

believe are serious threats

to the millions of people

who travel the skies every day.

Threats that are

surprisingly well-documented

and sometimes even

caught on tape.

For decades, civilian

pilots have been frustrated

by the Federal

Aviation Administration’s

refusal to

investigate encounters

between commercial airlines

and unidentified flying objects.

Skeptics argue that these

encounters lack hard data

like telemetry, radar

and audio recordings

that would warrant

an investigation.

But there have, in fact,

been numerous incidents

where viable evidence

has been collected,

including an event

involving two aircraft

travelling over

the state of Arizona.

In 2018, flying over Arizona,

you’ve got a Learjet, you’ve

got an American Airlines jet,

and something

zips over the Learjet,

right over top.

And they immediately call ATC.

Radar tower says,

"We don’t see anything.

We don’t know

what the heck it is."

And so, the radar tower

calls the American Airlines jet

behind that plane, and says

"Hey, look out for a second.

Object should

be coming your way."

The pilot of

the American Airlines jet

initially responds

requesting clarification.

Then, just moments later,

the American Airlines

pilot radios back

to air traffic control.

This incident is significant

because there

are audio recordings

of the whole incident,

and the pilots actually

use the word, "UFO,"

when they’re talking

to the control tower.

According to researchers,

the Arizona encounter

was never openly

investigated by the government,

despite the evidence

presented in the recordings

between the two pilots

and air traffic control.

Neither was another incident,

this one so serious,

it required a call

to the U.S. Air Force.

The Oregon coast.

October 25, 2017.

A radar operator

spots a fast-moving

unidentified object in

a busy commercial flight path.

There were no pilots involved

in that initial reporting.

It was just a tower

controller and a

and a radar center operator,

and they’re going

back and forth.

The radar operator

contacts air traffic control

in Seattle, Washington.

The object has no call sign.

It has no transponder.

It’s not communicating.

What is this object?

Pilots in the air start

picking it up visually.

Multiple pilots from

multiple airlines

flying both north

and south up the coast.

And they see this

huge white object

moving extremely fast

at 37,000 feet.

The pilots could

see a white light

that was coming at them

and moving around,

and they reported it

to the control tower

and the pilot said that

it was moving erratically.

This object was a little bit

too close for comfort.

And so they tried

to communicate with it.

All the things that this

object should have given off

if it was an authorized

aircraft, a U.S. aircraft,

a commercial aircraft,

weren’t there.

It was just silent.

And so the m*llitary

scrambled two F-*5 fighters

to go intercept this thing.

- Now, you don’t do that lightly.

- This is a big call.

This is the sort of thing

that you do on

a 9/11 type event.

So, what happened?

Why did they take

this one so seriously

that a fighter interceptor

was sent up to try

and take a look?

The F-15s race

to intercept the UFO,

but this proves more

difficult than expected.

Once the jets were on their way,

this UFO suddenly sh*t off

in a different direction,

and was very fast,

and was able to make

these quick turns,

and at very high speeds.

At one point,

this object changes direction.

It’s flying southbound,

and then turns

and goes northbound.

So, the F-*5 fighters,

they go there

and at the last minute,

as best anyone can guess,

turns and zips out

over the Pacific Ocean.

Observers are shocked

that F-15s, among

the nation’s fastest

and most sophisticated

fighter jets, are unable

to catch up with

the mysterious object.

What’s great about this

is the audiotapes,

which were released via

the Freedom of Information Act.

When you hear

the process happen,

from initial sighting

to the scrambling

of m*llitary jets,

it’s fascinating

to hear that happen.

"What should we do?"

It goes to the Air Force,

it goes to NORAD.

It’s there and seen by

so many, and then it’s gone.

These two incidents

are considered

to be among a multitude

of reports where analyzable

data, including radar,

radio transmissions,

telemetry and

eyewitness accounts,

offer compelling evidence

of unidentified

aerial phenomena.

Yet, to the public’s knowledge,

these dangerous encounters

have never been

investigated by the government.

UFO experts believe

the flying public

is at significant risk,

and as evidence,

point to a mysterious case

where a pilot experienced

his worst nightmare

10,000 feet in the air.

Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

May 3, 1975.

After dropping off passengers

at this seaport town

on the Pacific Coast,

pilot Carlos de los Santos

embarks on a return trip

to Mexico City

in his Piper PA-24 Comanche.

The weather

conditions are clear,

and visibility is good,

as De los Santos

cruises at 10,000 feet.

One hour into the flight,

he witnesses something unusual.

A gray, wingless object off

the left side of his plane.

As he approaches Mexico City,

he notices, basically,

a small flying saucer

just above his left wing.

It’s not as large

as his aircraft,

and he’s flying

a fairly small aircraft.

And he’s like, "What is this?"

And then he looks over to his

right and he sees another one.

And then he looks ahead of them,

and there’s one coming at him.

It goes below his aircraft,

and he feels a bump

under his aircraft.

And he’s scared out of his mind.

Anyone would be.

But he then realizes

that he’s not really

in control of his aircraft.

His aircraft is moving in a way

that seems to respond to

these objects, not to him.

He goes to move the yoke,

and the yoke

is moving on itself.

The plane starts climbing

to 3,000 meters.

That’s the ceiling of the Piper.

If it climbs any further,

it will stall out.

He will lose control.

The plane will

fall out of the sky.

He’s actually becoming afraid

because his cabin’s

not pressurized.

You get to a certain altitude,

he’s gonna have

a hard time breathing.

The theory is that the UFO

that came under the plane,

took control of his plane,

and the UFO’s own

magnetic envelope

is lifting the plane higher

and higher and higher.

De los Santos is in a panic.

He’s giving Mayday calls.

He’s telling them,

"There are these

"unidentified objects

at my wingtips,

and below me, and

I don’t know what to do."

As the private plane races

towards a mountainous area,

the three UAPs disengage

from Carlos’s plane

and veer off toward

the Mount Popocatépetl volcano

at lightning speed.

As the objects

disappear from sight,

Carlos regains control

of the plane.

But he quickly realizes

his ordeal isn’t over.

He can’t initiate

his landing gear

because of the impact

that one of these objects

made on his aircraft.

He has to circle around

the airport about ten times.

And he uses a screwdriver

to push the lever

to get his, uh,

landing gear to come down,

and he successfully

lands his aircraft.

It’s kind of

an amazing thing there.

So, he lands his aircraft.

And the story doesn’t end here.

Now he would’ve

had his whole career,

reputation ruined,

probably, with this,

except for the fact that

Mexican air traffic control

tracked these objects also,

and this came

out to support him.

This story became a huge

news story in Mexico.

Didn’t really make much

impact in the United States,

but it was a very big

story in Mexico.

Years later, De los Santos

revealed that in the

aftermath of the event,

he was twice approached

by mysterious figures

warning him not to speak

about his experience.

The first occasion

was just before

he was scheduled

to be interviewed

by a Mexican television station.

The second happened when

De los Santos was set to meet

with the famous UFO

investigator, J. Allen Hynek.

Hynek was into the case.

A lot of people

were following this case.

And just before he was going to

meet with Hynek at some hotel,

he gets another

encounter from, um,

one of these men in black,

these tall, pasty,

white-skinned guys

who warned him,

don’t talk about this.

He was threatened.

And he did actually

stop talking about this

for a little while after that.

But as time went by,

he-he’s talked about it.

It’s just one of

the most incredible

aviation UAP stories

that you’re ever gonna hear,

and he got out of it alive.

Pilot Carlos de los Santos

ultimately emerged

from his harrowing

midair encounter unscathed,

but similar confrontations

between civilian planes and UFOs

have led to tragic consequences,

including injuries, crashes

and even loss of life.

The National

UFO Reporting Center,

or NUFORC, has counted

at least 100 cases in the U.S.

where flight safety was impaired

because of close calls with

unidentified aerial phenomena.

And in at least one incident,

it appears a collision

with a UFO

caused fatal results.

Former NYPD pilot and flight

instructor Thomas Preziose

departs from

Mobile Downtown Airport,

piloting a single-engine Cessna

with the call sign

"Night Ship 282."

The story of Night Ship 282

is quite alarming.

A Hollywood script writer

couldn’t come up with this one.

We have a NYPD pilot,

a freight hauler,

very experienced

flight instructor

hauling documents

from Mobile, Alabama

up north to Montgomery.

Routine flight.

Due to poor visibility,

Preziose was flying

by his instruments.

Just one minute into the flight,

he spotted something

in the distance,

and immediately

radioed air traffic control.

He saw what looked like

another plane in the sky,

was just confirming that

that was another plane up there.

And then all of a sudden,

he’s alarmed.

He’s panicked.

Something is coming at him.

This pilot sees

an object in front of him

on a collision course

with his plane.

What does he do?

He radios a request

for permission to deviate.

"I must deviate,

I must deviate,"

he says over the radio.

He deviates.

Silence.

The transmission goes dead.

Five minutes after takeoff,

Night Ship 282 crashes

into Big Bateau Bay.

Tragically, Thomas Preziose

is k*lled on impact.

When investigators

from The National

Transportation Safety Board,

or NTSB, arrive at the scene,

they discover

parts of the Cessna

scattered over an area

of nearly 200 yards.

The plane is not

just demolished,

it’s almost vaporized.

Something obviously

hit the plane.

The props are damaged,

the wings are damaged,

the fuselage is damaged.

Wholesale damage inside

the mechanics of the airplane.

It becomes apparent

he has collided

with something in midair.

A midair collision

of such extreme force

would naturally send two

wrecks spiraling to the ground.

But an extensive search

of the area

produced only one aircraft.

No other wreckage

was ever found.

No other craft which would’ve

presumably done this.

The most bizarre thing about

this is that there are these

strange red markings

all over parts of the aircraft.

These red markings have not

been identified,

as far as I can tell.

And they’re in a variety

of places of the aircraft.

The NTSB suggested

that whatever it hit

was this color red or had

this red coating on it,

and when it hit, it rubbed

off on this guy’s craft.

They also found pieces

of metal in the wings

that didn’t belong to the plane.

Various pieces of metal were

imbedded in the crashed plane

that weren’t part of that plane.

So, something metal,

something red.

But at the end of

the day, a mystery.

Clearly, this is one

of the rare occasions

where there was a collision

that obliterated a plane,

k*lled the pilot, and the FAA,

the aviation authorities and

the investigations that followed

could not explain it,

and to this day,

cannot explain it.

You have to wonder

if this incident,

which caused the death

of the pilot,

wasn’t also some

extraterrestrial incident

where, perhaps, a flying

saucer or other craft

hit this plane,

or the plane itself

hit the craft.

For UFO researchers,

the tragic case

of Thomas Preziose

raises the question:

Is it possible that there

have been other fatal collisions

with UFOs that have

gone unreported?

Or happened before the pilot

could radio air traffic control?

As far as ancient astronaut

theorists are concerned,

it is a question

worth investigating

given the number

of highly unusual encounters

pilots have started

sharing with the public.

And while the FAA

continues to

dismiss such reports,

another government agency,

one focused on outer space,

is taking notice of possible

extraterrestrial activity

on Earth.

In recent years,

more and more pilots

are coming forward

to say that unidentified

aerial phenomena

pose a serious risk

to the flying public.

The Federal Aviation

Administration, however,

continues to

downplay the danger.

The FAA is

all about flight safety,

and yet, they don’t accept UFO

or UAP reports from civilians.

The FAA is essentially

telling you, civilian,

"I don’t care

what you’ve encountered,

"and we don’t have to

keep statistics on it,

"and we, therefore,

"don’t have to do anything about

this impossible phenomenon,

which we don’t know

what we could do."

The FAA does not want

civilians reporting UFOs

because they don’t want

the public stirring the pot.

This is something

that could, in theory,

become actionable through

FOIA requests, for example.

You can have a civilian

saying, "I’d like to know

how many civilians are

reporting UFOs to the FAA."

And then what do they do?

How many thousands of reports

are they going to be releasing?

They don’t want to

get into that at all.

I think it goes to this idea,

not of air traffic safety,

but not wanting

to alarm the public.

But now that the U.S. government

is paying serious attention

to UAP encounters

reported by m*llitary pilots,

at least one agency

is ready to listen

to civilian pilots as well,

and to the surprise of many,

it is America’s

top space agency:

NASA.

In October 2022,

NASA assembled a team

of 16 scientists and experts

for a first-of-its-kind

investigation

into unidentified

aerial phenomena.

In order to collect new data,

the space agency also announced

it is taking over management

of the Aviation

Safety Reporting System,

or ASRS,

a public service website

that encourages pilots

to submit anonymous reports

regarding UAP sightings.

NASA has something now called

the Aviation

Safety Reporting System.

And this is a mechanism

whereby pilots can report

UFO sightings anonymously,

if they choose.

And it says on the website,

this is non-punitive.

"We will not

come after you for this.

There’s no comeback,

just make your report."

It suggests to me that there’s

something else out there.

NASA knows about it,

and they want to

know more about it.

And so they are, sort of,

surreptitiously saying,

"We’ll listen to your story now.

"We’re collecting a database now

of what is happening

in our skies,"

and so that is why I think NASA

is ultimately taking

the lead on this.

People are saying, why NASA?

Why not the FAA?

Does it perhaps tie in

with the fact that NASA

is now studying UFOs?

Or is it maybe an indication,

an intriguing clue

that a lot of the incidents

of most import

happen in the real

upper atmosphere,

where we are going into space.

I-I don’t know,

but that’s in a sense,

that’s not the point.

The point is we now have

this receptive environment

into which pilots can finally

speak out about the UFOs

that they are seeing

on a very frequent basis.

As far as ancient astronaut

theorists are concerned,

encouraging commercial

pilots to come forward

with their stories may

finally provide critical proof

that civilian aircraft

do, in fact,

encounter UAPs in our skies.

There’s a deep history

of UFO sightings.

And the obvious

thr*at to aviation

is becoming more

and more prevalent.

We have to start

taking these reports

incredibly seriously because

pilots, crews and passengers

could be at risk.

I challenge anybody

to take anything you have

and put it out there.

Don’t hesitate,

because maybe you’re

gonna open the door

to-to bigger and better

things for mankind.

As more civilian

pilots come forward

to report their encounters with

unidentified aerial phenomena,

will it be revealed

that such incidents

occur far more often

than we would ever imagine?

And if so, could bringing

these incidents to light

also bring us one step closer

to learning the truth about just

who, or what,

has been occupying our airspace

for thousands of years?

Perhaps one day soon,

the strange craft in our skies

will descend to Earth,

and when they do,

we will know for certain

that we are not alone.
