00:09:48,043 --> 00:09:51,067
talked about running
a program that dealt with

317
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:53,569
unidentified aerial phenomena,
or UFOs.

318
00:09:53,602 --> 00:09:54,043
The Pentagon
was interested in it,

319
00:09:54,043 --> 00:09:55,471
The Pentagon
was interested in it,

320
00:09:55,504 --> 00:09:58,574
they were investigating it,
and he was the guy that led it.

321
00:09:58,607 --> 00:10:00,043
According to Mr. Luis Elizondo,
AAITIP looked at videos.

322
00:10:00,043 --> 00:10:03,446
According to Mr. Luis Elizondo,
AAITIP looked at videos.

323
00:10:03,479 --> 00:10:06,043
When a military pilot
saw something

324
00:10:06,043 --> 00:10:06,482
When a military pilot
saw something

325
00:10:06,515 --> 00:10:09,619
that he couldn't explain,
AAITIP was gonna come aboard

326
00:10:09,652 --> 00:10:10,887
and try and figure it out.

327
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,043
[Keen]
It was originally instigated

328
00:10:12,043 --> 00:10:13,990
[Keen]
It was originally instigated

329
00:10:14,023 --> 00:10:17,326
by the Defense
Intelligence Agency,

330
00:10:17,359 --> 00:10:18,043
and Harry Reid,
the senator from Nevada,

331
00:10:18,043 --> 00:10:19,962
and Harry Reid,
the senator from Nevada,

332
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:22,598
was very instrumental
in setting it up.

333
00:10:25,101 --> 00:10:27,102
[man]
You guys ready?

334
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:30,043
Yes, we're rolling.

335
00:10:30,043 --> 00:10:30,139
Yes, we're rolling.

336
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:32,375
[Reid] When I was asked
by a reporter

337
00:10:32,408 --> 00:10:33,910
from The New York Times,

338
00:10:33,943 --> 00:10:35,878
I said: I'm happy to do
an interview with you,

339
00:10:35,911 --> 00:10:36,043
but I want some ground rules.

340
00:10:36,043 --> 00:10:37,513
but I want some ground rules.

341
00:10:37,546 --> 00:10:39,949
We're not gonna be talking
about little green men.

342
00:10:39,982 --> 00:10:42,043
I will only talk
about scientific issues.

343
00:10:42,043 --> 00:10:44,020
I will only talk
about scientific issues.

344
00:10:44,053 --> 00:10:46,055
And I recognize that...

345
00:10:46,088 --> 00:10:48,043
what I got started here
was kind of taking a chance.

346
00:10:48,043 --> 00:10:49,759
what I got started here
was kind of taking a chance.

347
00:10:49,792 --> 00:10:52,195
But I think it's paid off.

348
00:10:52,228 --> 00:10:54,043
[Hayes] The remarkable admission
by the Pentagon

349
00:10:54,043 --> 00:10:54,564
[Hayes] The remarkable admission
by the Pentagon

350
00:10:54,597 --> 00:10:57,800
came as a result of reporting
by The New York Times,

351
00:10:57,833 --> 00:10:59,936
pretty august publication.

352
00:10:59,969 --> 00:11:00,043
[Knapp]
This is not birds.

353
00:11:00,043 --> 00:11:01,704
[Knapp]
This is not birds.

354
00:11:01,737 --> 00:11:03,639
It's not somebody else's plane.

355
00:11:03,672 --> 00:11:06,043
It's picked up on radar.
It's real.

356
00:11:06,043 --> 00:11:06,342
It's picked up on radar.
It's real.

357
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:08,010
Can you imagine

358
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:09,579
the steps they had to go through
to sell that story

359
00:11:09,612 --> 00:11:12,043
to the editors about UFOs?

360
00:11:12,043 --> 00:11:12,915
to the editors about UFOs?

361
00:11:17,486 --> 00:11:18,043
Tough sell.

362
00:11:18,043 --> 00:11:18,554
Tough sell.

363
00:11:19,789 --> 00:11:22,458
[Kean] I don't think most people
realize what's involved

364
00:11:22,491 --> 00:11:24,043
in putting together
a story like this.

365
00:11:24,043 --> 00:11:24,727
in putting together
a story like this.

366
00:11:25,628 --> 00:11:28,197
[Greenewald] This was
one of the most exciting things

367
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:30,043
that had come out
in a long time.

368
00:11:30,043 --> 00:11:30,899
that had come out
in a long time.

369
00:11:32,067 --> 00:11:34,070
The entire basis
of all of my research

370
00:11:34,103 --> 00:11:35,371
up until that point

371
00:11:35,404 --> 00:11:36,043
was proving
that the U.S military

372
00:11:36,043 --> 00:11:38,074
was proving
that the U.S military

373
00:11:38,107 --> 00:11:40,209
did have an interest in UFOs.

374
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:42,043
And this man,

375
00:11:42,043 --> 00:11:42,378
And this man,

376
00:11:42,411 --> 00:11:44,180
and what he did,
was that smoking gun.

377
00:11:44,213 --> 00:11:46,749
[Luis Elizondo]
For nearly the last decade,

378
00:11:46,782 --> 00:11:48,043
I ran a sensitive aerospace
threat identification program

379
00:11:48,043 --> 00:11:50,853
I ran a sensitive aerospace
threat identification program

380
00:11:50,886 --> 00:11:53,689
focusing on unidentified
aerial technologies.

381
00:11:53,722 --> 00:11:54,043
It was in this position
I learned

382
00:11:54,043 --> 00:11:56,959
It was in this position
I learned

383
00:11:56,992 --> 00:11:59,629
that the phenomena...

384
00:11:59,662 --> 00:12:00,043
is, indeed, real.

385
00:12:00,043 --> 00:12:01,731
is, indeed, real.

386
00:12:01,764 --> 00:12:03,266
I was shown three videos

387
00:12:03,299 --> 00:12:06,035
that had come
from the Department of Defense

388
00:12:06,068 --> 00:12:09,572
and also the documents
that showed

389
00:12:09,605 --> 00:12:11,807
that the videos were legitimate.

390
00:12:13,008 --> 00:12:14,610
[Knapp] I've never said this
before in public,

391
00:12:14,643 --> 00:12:16,112
but this report,

392
00:12:16,145 --> 00:12:17,747
the executive summary
of the Tic Tac incident,

393
00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:18,043
started at the Navy.

394
00:12:18,043 --> 00:12:19,281
started at the Navy.

395
00:12:20,516 --> 00:12:22,151
There was
an initial investigation

396
00:12:22,184 --> 00:12:24,043
after the incident itself
back in 2004.

397
00:12:24,043 --> 00:12:26,022
after the incident itself
back in 2004.

398
00:12:26,055 --> 00:12:28,991
The commander
of that carrier strike force,

399
00:12:29,024 --> 00:12:30,043
that carrier group,
didn't want to delay

400
00:12:30,043 --> 00:12:31,661
that carrier group,
didn't want to delay

401
00:12:31,694 --> 00:12:34,630
going to the Persian Gulf,
so whatever information

402
00:12:34,663 --> 00:12:36,043
was gathered back then
got tossed into a drawer

403
00:12:36,043 --> 00:12:36,999
was gathered back then
got tossed into a drawer

404
00:12:37,032 --> 00:12:38,935
and closed,
and it was gonna be forgotten.

405
00:12:38,968 --> 00:12:42,043
And then a couple years later,
some people in the Navy

406
00:12:42,043 --> 00:12:42,104
And then a couple years later,
some people in the Navy

407
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:43,338
renewed the investigation.

408
00:12:46,141 --> 00:12:48,043
It bounced around

409
00:12:48,043 --> 00:12:48,377
It bounced around

410
00:12:48,410 --> 00:12:50,680
inside the Pentagon
and the intelligence community

411
00:12:50,713 --> 00:12:53,349
and then ended up at AATIP.

413
00:12:54,043 --> 00:12:55,351

415

[Day]
I've been gravely concerned

416
00:13:13,802 --> 00:13:15,538
about what happened for...

417
00:13:15,571 --> 00:13:18,043
I guess 15 years ago this week,
2004.

418
00:13:18,043 --> 00:13:18,841
I guess 15 years ago this week,
2004.

419
00:13:18,874 --> 00:13:21,210
And when it first happened,
I was

420
00:13:21,243 --> 00:13:22,478
trying to tell people, you know?

421
00:13:22,511 --> 00:13:24,043
My chain of command
and, uh, others.

422
00:13:24,043 --> 00:13:24,247
My chain of command
and, uh, others.

423
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,849
But no one seemed
to really believe me,

424
00:13:26,882 --> 00:13:28,484
and it really, really bugged me.

425
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:30,043
And it started manifesting
in nightmares.

426
00:13:30,043 --> 00:13:32,488
And it started manifesting
in nightmares.

427
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:35,224
[clears throat] I didn't know
what the hell to do, you know?

428
00:13:38,027 --> 00:13:40,929
I wasn't really prepared
for that day.

429
00:13:45,267 --> 00:13:47,570
Our command on USS Princeton.

430
00:13:47,603 --> 00:13:48,043
We were
the air defense commander

431
00:13:48,043 --> 00:13:48,938
We were
the air defense commander

432
00:13:48,971 --> 00:13:50,539
for the Nimitz strike group.

433
00:13:50,572 --> 00:13:52,275
Anything that flies,

434
00:13:52,308 --> 00:13:54,043
as soon as I gain it on radar,
I'm actively trying

435
00:13:54,043 --> 00:13:54,677
as soon as I gain it on radar,
I'm actively trying

436
00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:57,213
to figure out what it is.
Is it high and fast?

437
00:13:57,246 --> 00:14:00,043
Is it low and slow?
Is it on a commercial air route?

438
00:14:00,043 --> 00:14:00,416
Is it low and slow?
Is it on a commercial air route?

439
00:14:00,449 --> 00:14:02,018
We put all these little pieces
of the puzzle together

440
00:14:02,051 --> 00:14:03,552
to come up
with an identification.

441
00:14:04,687 --> 00:14:06,043
In, uh, 2004, we were
off the coast of California

442
00:14:06,043 --> 00:14:08,357
In, uh, 2004, we were
off the coast of California

443
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:11,093
doing a standard training cycle,

444
00:14:11,126 --> 00:14:12,043
and I noticed
these really strange tracks

445
00:14:12,043 --> 00:14:13,029
and I noticed
these really strange tracks

446
00:14:13,062 --> 00:14:14,997
off the coast of Catalina.

447
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:16,499
Those things were up
at 28,000 feet.

448
00:14:16,532 --> 00:14:18,043
They were kind of
in a loose group,

449
00:14:18,043 --> 00:14:18,534
They were kind of
in a loose group,

450
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:20,736
and they were all
tracking down 100 knots,

451
00:14:20,769 --> 00:14:24,043
28,000 feet towards the south
really, really slow.

452
00:14:24,043 --> 00:14:24,073
28,000 feet towards the south
really, really slow.

453
00:14:24,106 --> 00:14:25,942
Usually, something that high
going that slow

454
00:14:25,975 --> 00:14:27,542
is gonna fall out of the sky.

455
00:14:28,744 --> 00:14:30,043
You can't create enough lift
to stay airborne,

456
00:14:30,043 --> 00:14:31,414
You can't create enough lift
to stay airborne,

457
00:14:31,447 --> 00:14:34,650
so I-I knew
they were something anomalous.

458
00:14:35,684 --> 00:14:36,043
I was up in the CIC,
in combat information center,

459
00:14:36,043 --> 00:14:38,087
I was up in the CIC,
in combat information center,

460
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,156
and I was scanning
a position on watch

461
00:14:40,189 --> 00:14:42,043
called
antiair warfare coordinator,

462
00:14:42,043 --> 00:14:42,892
called
antiair warfare coordinator,

463
00:14:42,925 --> 00:14:45,428
AAWC.

464
00:14:45,461 --> 00:14:47,964
And that position is the-the guy
that actually presses the button

465
00:14:47,997 --> 00:14:48,043
to shoot a missile
if you have to.

466
00:14:48,043 --> 00:14:49,498
to shoot a missile
if you have to.

467
00:14:50,332 --> 00:14:53,069
You know what, all
of our systems are automated,

468
00:14:53,102 --> 00:14:54,043
but they're not automatic,

469
00:14:54,043 --> 00:14:54,737
but they're not automatic,

470
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:56,272
so it's a person like myself

471
00:14:56,305 --> 00:14:57,907
that has to take
all the pieces of information

472
00:14:57,940 --> 00:14:59,675
and actually use my brain

473
00:14:59,708 --> 00:15:00,043
and tell everyone else
what the identification is.

474
00:15:00,043 --> 00:15:02,277
and tell everyone else
what the identification is.

475
00:15:03,479 --> 00:15:06,043
Man, I'm telling you, it's
probably the only air contacts

476
00:15:06,043 --> 00:15:06,716
Man, I'm telling you, it's
probably the only air contacts

477
00:15:06,749 --> 00:15:09,919
that I've ever detected
and tracked on SPY radar

478
00:15:09,952 --> 00:15:12,043
that I was never able
to identify.

479
00:15:12,043 --> 00:15:13,222
that I was never able
to identify.

480
00:15:13,255 --> 00:15:15,725
And I still want to make
that identification.

481
00:15:15,758 --> 00:15:17,993
That's why I'm here today.

482
00:15:22,498 --> 00:15:24,043
[elevator whirring]

483
00:15:24,043 --> 00:15:24,533
[elevator whirring]

484
00:15:34,676 --> 00:15:36,043
I think it's difficult
for some of the guys,

485
00:15:36,043 --> 00:15:36,379
I think it's difficult
for some of the guys,

486
00:15:36,412 --> 00:15:38,981
but I've never had a problem
talking about it.

487
00:15:39,014 --> 00:15:40,248
I can only tell you what I know.

488
00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:48,043
Ironically,
I didn't even see any of that.

489
00:15:48,043 --> 00:15:49,859
Ironically,
I didn't even see any of that.

490
00:15:49,892 --> 00:15:51,827
I didn't see The New York Times.

491
00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:53,329
I didn't know anything about it.

492
00:15:53,362 --> 00:15:54,043
And then out of the blue,
I get a message

493
00:15:54,043 --> 00:15:55,564
And then out of the blue,
I get a message

494
00:15:55,597 --> 00:15:58,000
from Kevin

495
00:15:58,033 --> 00:16:00,043
telling me
that one of our shipmates

496
00:16:00,043 --> 00:16:00,669
telling me
that one of our shipmates

497
00:16:00,702 --> 00:16:02,972
has come out
to talk about the event.

498
00:16:03,005 --> 00:16:05,741
He-he didn't even have to say
what event. I already knew.

499
00:16:05,774 --> 00:16:06,043
Like, the event event?

500
00:16:06,043 --> 00:16:08,477
Like, the event event?

501
00:16:09,511 --> 00:16:11,646
I kind of went numb, like...

502
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:15,484
People are actually gonna
believe us now.

503
00:16:17,820 --> 00:16:18,043
I was
on the USS Princeton CG-59.

504
00:16:18,043 --> 00:16:22,158
I was
on the USS Princeton CG-59.

505
00:16:22,191 --> 00:16:23,658
It's a guided missile cruiser.

506
00:16:24,726 --> 00:16:27,463
I was a computer technician,
so I handled all the mainframes,

507
00:16:27,496 --> 00:16:28,964
data recording.

508
00:16:28,997 --> 00:16:30,043
All the systems run

509
00:16:30,043 --> 00:16:30,833
All the systems run

510
00:16:30,866 --> 00:16:32,167
off of my system.

511
00:16:33,035 --> 00:16:35,037
We were seeing flying objects,

512
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:36,043
uh, that we were tracking
on the radar,

513
00:16:36,043 --> 00:16:37,339
uh, that we were tracking
on the radar,

514
00:16:37,372 --> 00:16:39,208
which is why
we call them "tracks."

515
00:16:39,241 --> 00:16:41,544
And they were...

516
00:16:41,577 --> 00:16:42,043
They were just flying due south
at 100 knots,

517
00:16:42,043 --> 00:16:44,914
They were just flying due south
at 100 knots,

518
00:16:44,947 --> 00:16:46,949
on and off for seven days.

519
00:16:46,982 --> 00:16:48,043
They'd just appear, disappear.

520
00:16:48,043 --> 00:16:49,718
They'd just appear, disappear.

521
00:16:50,652 --> 00:16:52,788
After the third day,
I got an idea

522
00:16:52,821 --> 00:16:54,043
that it might be close enough
to just barely see it

523
00:16:54,043 --> 00:16:55,024
that it might be close enough
to just barely see it

524
00:16:55,057 --> 00:16:57,893
through
these big, huge binoculars

525
00:16:57,926 --> 00:17:00,043
attached to the side of the
ship. They're called Big Eyes.

526
00:17:00,043 --> 00:17:00,495
attached to the side of the
ship. They're called Big Eyes.

527
00:17:01,697 --> 00:17:04,400
It was basically just a dot
on the horizon

528
00:17:04,433 --> 00:17:06,043
at the right bearing
and the right altitude.

529
00:17:06,043 --> 00:17:06,335
at the right bearing
and the right altitude.

530
00:17:06,368 --> 00:17:08,170
And I was just waiting
to see if it moved

531
00:17:08,203 --> 00:17:09,738
or did anything,
and sure enough, it did.

532
00:17:09,771 --> 00:17:12,043
At a certain point,
it moved over to the side,

533
00:17:12,043 --> 00:17:12,174
At a certain point,
it moved over to the side,

534
00:17:12,207 --> 00:17:14,176
and then just gone.

535
00:17:15,077 --> 00:17:17,012
[Day]
I became concerned.

536
00:17:17,045 --> 00:17:18,043
So, Cap comes down to combat.
I say, "Hey, sir,

537
00:17:18,043 --> 00:17:19,381
So, Cap comes down to combat.
I say, "Hey, sir,

538
00:17:19,414 --> 00:17:20,382
you know,
we've been tracking these things

539
00:17:20,415 --> 00:17:22,885
for a few days now,

540
00:17:22,918 --> 00:17:24,043
and I strongly recommend
that we get an aircraft

541
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:24,787
and I strongly recommend
that we get an aircraft

542
00:17:24,820 --> 00:17:26,421
to launch and intercept it."

543
00:17:27,222 --> 00:17:29,258
[clears throat]

544
00:17:29,291 --> 00:17:30,043
And none of us were prepared
for what happened

545
00:17:30,043 --> 00:17:32,061
And none of us were prepared
for what happened

546
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:35,163
when that....
when that happened.

547
00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:06,043
[Ralph Blumenthal] This was not
the usual New York Times story.

548
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:08,063
[Ralph Blumenthal] This was not
the usual New York Times story.

549
00:18:10,299 --> 00:18:12,043
All along, the UFO debate

550
00:18:12,043 --> 00:18:12,067
All along, the UFO debate

551
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,371
has been whether these things
are real or not real.

552
00:18:15,404 --> 00:18:17,773
In other words, are they
a figment of the imagination?

553
00:18:17,806 --> 00:18:18,043
Are they
some psychological phenomenon

554
00:18:18,043 --> 00:18:20,242
Are they
some psychological phenomenon

555
00:18:20,275 --> 00:18:21,776
that has no physical reality?

556
00:18:22,678 --> 00:18:24,043
And what was most interesting
in the reporting

557
00:18:24,043 --> 00:18:25,481
And what was most interesting
in the reporting

558
00:18:25,514 --> 00:18:28,584
that Leslie and I and Helene did
for The New York Times

559
00:18:28,617 --> 00:18:30,043
was that the most
highly trained observers

560
00:18:30,043 --> 00:18:31,453
was that the most
highly trained observers

561
00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:33,255
that exist, Navy pilots...

562
00:18:33,288 --> 00:18:35,424
The government spends millions
of dollars training them.

563
00:18:35,457 --> 00:18:36,043
[chuckles]
They are not mentally deficient.

564
00:18:36,043 --> 00:18:36,926
[chuckles]
They are not mentally deficient.

565
00:18:36,959 --> 00:18:39,695
They're tested
for psychological aberrations.

566
00:18:39,728 --> 00:18:42,043
These people are trusted
with the most powerful weapons

567
00:18:42,043 --> 00:18:42,097
These people are trusted
with the most powerful weapons

568
00:18:42,130 --> 00:18:43,798
in our arsenal.

569
00:18:45,367 --> 00:18:46,535
They've seen them
with their eyes.

570
00:18:46,568 --> 00:18:48,043
[David Fravor]
Both airplanes see

571
00:18:48,043 --> 00:18:48,103
[David Fravor]
Both airplanes see

572
00:18:48,136 --> 00:18:49,772
a disturbance in the water

573
00:18:49,805 --> 00:18:53,375
and a white, 40-foot-long
Tic Tac-shaped object.

574
00:18:53,408 --> 00:18:54,043
The controller starts talking
to us. He says,

575
00:18:54,043 --> 00:18:55,344
The controller starts talking
to us. He says,

576
00:18:55,377 --> 00:18:57,880
"Hey, sir.
We've seen these objects.

577
00:18:57,913 --> 00:19:00,043
We need you to go investigate.
We want to know what these are."

578
00:19:00,043 --> 00:19:00,415
We need you to go investigate.
We want to know what these are."

579
00:19:01,216 --> 00:19:03,285
They got to a point
where they say,

580
00:19:03,318 --> 00:19:06,043
"Hey, merge plot."

581
00:19:06,043 --> 00:19:06,422
"Hey, merge plot."

582
00:19:06,455 --> 00:19:09,158
[Day] He gets
into the merge plot position,

583
00:19:09,191 --> 00:19:10,759
which is basically two objects

584
00:19:10,792 --> 00:19:12,043
in the same vertical piece
of sky.

585
00:19:12,043 --> 00:19:12,695
in the same vertical piece
of sky.

586
00:19:12,728 --> 00:19:15,697
A two-dimensional display
now looks like one object.

587
00:19:16,565 --> 00:19:17,866
[Fravor]
As we're looking around,

588
00:19:17,899 --> 00:19:18,043
we look to the right,

589
00:19:18,043 --> 00:19:19,768
we look to the right,

590
00:19:19,801 --> 00:19:21,870
and we see white water.

591
00:19:21,903 --> 00:19:24,043
What we see is this white
Tic-Tac-looking object

592
00:19:24,043 --> 00:19:25,441
What we see is this white
Tic-Tac-looking object

593
00:19:25,474 --> 00:19:27,843
just above the surface
of the water

594
00:19:27,876 --> 00:19:29,411
pointing north-south,

595
00:19:29,444 --> 00:19:30,043
and it's going north,
south, east, west.

596
00:19:30,043 --> 00:19:31,247
and it's going north,
south, east, west.

597
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,581
It's just erratically moving

598
00:19:32,614 --> 00:19:34,717
forward, back, left, right,
at will.

599
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:36,043
I go, "Dude, do you see that?
What is that thing?"

600
00:19:36,043 --> 00:19:37,553
I go, "Dude, do you see that?
What is that thing?"

601
00:19:37,586 --> 00:19:39,488
We're looking down
at this thing,

602
00:19:39,521 --> 00:19:40,990
and I said,
"I'm gonna go check it out."

603
00:19:41,023 --> 00:19:42,043
So I start driving around,

604
00:19:42,043 --> 00:19:43,492
So I start driving around,

605
00:19:43,525 --> 00:19:45,427
just in a nice, easy descent.

606
00:19:45,460 --> 00:19:48,030
As I'm coming down,

607
00:19:48,063 --> 00:19:51,066
the Tic Tac starts coming up.

608
00:19:51,967 --> 00:19:54,043
I'm like, "Well,
this is getting interesting."

609
00:19:54,043 --> 00:19:54,103
I'm like, "Well,
this is getting interesting."

610
00:19:54,136 --> 00:19:56,372
[Day] All of a sudden, we
hear on the radio, "Oh, my God!

611
00:19:56,405 --> 00:19:58,773
Oh, my God!
I'm engaged! I'm engaged!"

612
00:19:59,608 --> 00:20:00,043
And whatever that object was,

613
00:20:00,043 --> 00:20:01,176
And whatever that object was,

614
00:20:01,209 --> 00:20:03,145
the thing
seemed to recognize him,

615
00:20:03,178 --> 00:20:06,043
and it actually got
in a dogfight with him.

616
00:20:06,043 --> 00:20:06,948
and it actually got
in a dogfight with him.

617
00:20:09,351 --> 00:20:11,487
[Voorhis] The target
started moving left and right

618
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,043
at very jagged angles,

619
00:20:12,043 --> 00:20:13,255
at very jagged angles,

620
00:20:13,288 --> 00:20:14,790
and then it would disappear

621
00:20:14,823 --> 00:20:17,092
off the screen,
come back onto the screen.

622
00:20:17,926 --> 00:20:18,043
[Fravor] It's kind of starting
to cross my nose,

623
00:20:18,043 --> 00:20:20,462
[Fravor] It's kind of starting
to cross my nose,

624
00:20:20,495 --> 00:20:21,630
and it starts to accelerate.

625
00:20:21,663 --> 00:20:23,832
And within less than a second,

626
00:20:23,865 --> 00:20:24,043
it crosses right in front of me.
Just goes "poof," and it's gone.

627
00:20:24,043 --> 00:20:26,801
it crosses right in front of me.

"What the hell's
he doing on this?"

1412
00:45:15,222 --> 00:45:18,043
But as time has gone on,
even my wife,

1413

But as time has gone on,
even my wife,

1414
00:45:18,325 --> 00:45:21,529
who wondered why
I was so involved in

1415
00:45:21,562 --> 00:45:24,043
unidentified flying objects,
said to me a few months ago,

1416
00:45:24,043 --> 00:45:25,065
unidentified flying objects,
said to me a few months ago,

1417
00:45:25,098 --> 00:45:27,768
"You're not looking so bad now."

1418
00:45:31,338 --> 00:45:32,907
I am confident,

1419
00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:36,043
and I am cautiously optimistic

1420
00:45:36,043 --> 00:45:36,844
and I am cautiously optimistic

1421
00:45:36,877 --> 00:45:39,413
that in the next year,

1422
00:45:39,446 --> 00:45:41,081
we are gonna have
a fundamentally

1423
00:45:41,114 --> 00:45:42,043
different conversation
than we're having today.

1424

different conversation
than we're having today.

1425
00:45:44,184 --> 00:45:46,687
I think there's gonna be
additional fidelity,

Throughout the decades,

1433
00:45:59,967 --> 00:46:00,043
when it comes
to the field of ufology,

1434

when it comes
to the field of ufology,

1435
00:46:02,302 --> 00:46:06,043
you see people at the top, which
are considered the leaders.

1436
00:46:06,043 --> 00:46:06,339
you see people at the top, which
are considered the leaders.

1437
00:46:08,041 --> 00:46:09,977
Based on the New York Times
article,

1438
00:46:10,010 --> 00:46:12,043
Luis Elizondo is one
of those people.

1439
00:46:12,043 --> 00:46:13,013
Luis Elizondo is one
of those people.

1440
00:46:13,046 --> 00:46:14,915
The day it was released,

1441
00:46:14,948 --> 00:46:18,043
I had filed multiple Freedom
of Information Act requests

1442
00:46:18,043 --> 00:46:18,085
I had filed multiple Freedom
of Information Act requests

1443
00:46:18,118 --> 00:46:20,688
to try and get more
information from the Pentagon,

1444
00:46:20,721 --> 00:46:22,189
from the Department of Defense.

1447
00:46:24,157 --> 00:46:26,594
The Pentagon gave me
a "no records" response

1448
00:46:26,627 --> 00:46:28,628
to my original request.

1449
00:46:29,463 --> 00:46:30,043
Now what's really strange
about that is,

1450
00:46:30,043 --> 00:46:31,599
Now what's really strange
about that is,

1451
00:46:31,632 --> 00:46:33,133
I gave them Mr. Elizondo's name.

1452
00:46:33,166 --> 00:46:36,043
And he said,
"Nope, we got nothing."

1453
00:46:36,043 --> 00:46:36,170
And he said,
"Nope, we got nothing."

1454
00:46:36,203 --> 00:46:39,573
So I started drilling down,
looking into

1455
00:46:39,606 --> 00:46:40,808
Mr. Elizondo's background.

1458
00:46:44,912 --> 00:46:46,881
He didn't have any background.

1459
00:46:46,914 --> 00:46:48,043
There were
very little things known

1460
00:46:48,043 --> 00:46:49,016
There were
very little things known

1461
00:46:49,049 --> 00:46:51,017
about Mr. Elizondo as a person.

1462
00:46:52,052 --> 00:46:54,043
Who was he?
What was he really doing?

Who was he?
What was he really doing?

1464
00:46:55,222 --> 00:46:56,891
Why is the Pentagon saying,

1465
00:46:56,924 --> 00:46:59,360
"That is not
what this program was.

1466
00:46:59,393 --> 00:47:00,043
There was no UFO aspect to it"?

1467
00:47:00,043 --> 00:47:02,096
There was no UFO aspect to it"?

1468
00:47:02,129 --> 00:47:05,332
And then, all of a sudden,
they said,

1469
00:47:05,365 --> 00:47:06,043
"Mr. Elizondo had
no assigned responsibilities

"Mr. Elizondo had

1475

he did not lead that program.

1476
00:47:18,043 --> 00:47:20,147
that we call Earth,
he did not lead that program.

1477
00:47:20,180 --> 00:47:21,482
What do you do with that?
