>> PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES. COULD THE INFLUENCE
OF THESE POWERFUL MEN BE CONNECTED TO AN ALIEN RACE?
ACCORDING TO UFO EXPERTS, THE DECISIONS THAT SHAPED OUR
COUNTRY AND GLOBE MAY HAVE COME FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD.
WHAT HAVE THE PRESIDENTS KNOWN THAT THE PUBLIC DID NOT?
>> THERE'S ALWAYS THINGS LIKE THAT GOING ON. THE FLYING
SAUCERS, AND THEY'VE HAD OTHER THINGS, YOU KNOW.
>> FROM UFOs OVER OUR CAPITOL TO A PRESIDENTIAL SIT-DOWN
WITH ALIEN BEINGS. >> PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN
DISCLOSED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT UFOs WERE REAL.
>> TONIGHT WE REVEAL HOW MUCH INFLUENCE OTHERWORLDLY CREATURES
MAY HAVE HAD ON THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY AMONG US?
>> JOIN US AS THE SECRETS OF PRESIDENTS AND ALIENS
ARE UNSEALED. A GLOBAL EFFORT HAS BEGUN.
SECRET FILES HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC FOR DECADES DETAILING
EVERY UFO ACCOUNT ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
WE ARE ABOUT TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND THESE
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. FIND OUT WHAT THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT
YOU TO KNOW. "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES," EXPOSING THE BIGGEST
SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
VALLEY FORGE, PENNSYLVANIA. IT IS WINTER 1777, THE HEIGHT
OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON LEADS
A WOUNDED BATTALION, LEAVING A TRAIL OF BLOOD IN THE SNOW.
>> DURING THE HORRENDOUS WINTER AT VALLEY FORGE IN THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION, GEORGE WASHINGTON, WHO WAS GETTING DEMORALIZED
AT THE STATE OF HIS TROOPS, WENT INTO THE FOREST TO PRAY.
AND IN THAT FOREST, WASHINGTON SAW WHAT COULD ONLY BE DESCRIBED
AS AN OTHERWORLDLY PHENOMENON. >> IN 1880, THE "NATIONAL
TRIBUNE" REPORTED AN ACCOUNT BY ONE OF WASHINGTON'S MEN.
IN IT, THE SOLDIER REPORTS WASHINGTON WAS APPROACHED
BY A STRANGE BEING IN THE WOODS. ACCORDING TO THE STORY,
THE BEING SHOWED WASHINGTON A MAP OF AMERICA. ON IT FELL
DROPS OF WATER. WITH EACH DROP OF WATER A CITY EMERGED,
A VISION OF THE UNITED STATES AS IT WOULD APPEAR
IN THE CENTURIES AHEAD. >> THE SECOND VISION WASHINGTON
HAD AT VALLEY FORGE WAS EVEN STRANGER. WASHINGTON SAID THAT
WHAT HE SAW IN THE FOREST WAS A FLOATING GREEN ORB OUT OF
WHICH JUMPED LITTLE CREATURES, SMALL PEOPLE. WASHINGTON SAID
THEY WERE PROBABLY MEMBERS OF A LOCAL INDIAN TRIBE.
BUT WHY WOULD THEY BE JUMPING OUT OF A FLOATING GREEN ORB?
>> DID EXTRATERRESTRIAL CREATURES VISIT AMERICA'S FIRST
PRESIDENT? THIS PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON FEATURES WHAT SEEMS
TO BE A GLOWING CRAFT HOVERING ABOVE A GLOBE OF THE EARTH.
COULD ALIEN INSPIRATION HAVE AFFECTED NOT ONLY THIS FOUNDING
FATHER BUT OTHERS AS WELL?
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA. ACCORDING TO A PUBLISHED
ACCOUNT, ON APRIL 5, 1800, PRESIDENT THOMAS JEFFERSON
AND HIS AIDE WITNESSED SOMETHING UNEXPLAINABLE FLY ABOVE THEIR
HEADS AND CRASH INTO THE EARTH. >> SO JEFFERSON'S AIDE SAID THAT
WHEN THEY SAW THIS UFO, IT WAS ABOUT 70 TO 80 FEET LONG
AND ABOUT 200 YARDS OFF THE SURFACE OF EARTH.
>> THE OBJECT IS DESCRIBED TO BE THE SIZE OF A HOUSE
AND CRIMSON RED. >> AFTER IT PASSED OVER THEM
FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 SECONDS, THEY SAW IT KIND OF DISAPPEAR
BEHIND A HILL AND THEY HEARD, LIKE, A LARGE CRASH AND FELT
A RUMBLE ON THE GROUND. WHICH MEANS WHATEVER THIS OBJECT
WAS DEFINITELY CRASHED HERE ON EARTH.
>> UPON INVESTIGATION, JEFFERSON LEARNS THAT THE SURFACE OF EARTH
WAS FOUND BROKEN UP AND BADLY SCORCHED. COULD THIS SIGHTING,
AS MANY ALIEN THEORISTS BELIEVE, BE THE FIRST UFO CRASH
ENCOUNTERED BY A PRESIDENT, BUT NOT THE LAST?
>> WASHINGTON'S DESCRIPTION OF HIS TWO UFO SIGHTINGS AT VALLEY
FORGE AND JEFFERSON'S DESCRIPTION OF WILLIAM DUNBAR'S
SIGHTING OF THE UFO AND UFO CRASH OVER LOUISIANA IN 1800,
REPORTED IN 1801, REALLY SET THE STAGE FOR A NUMBER OF FUTURE
ENCOUNTERS MADE--REPORTED BY PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES
ABOUT UFO ENCOUNTERS. >> IN THE CENTURIES TO FOLLOW,
AMERICA FLOURISHES AND THOUSANDS OF FELLOW
AMERICANS REPORT UNEXPLAINED CRAFT IN THE SKY. LOS ANGELES,
1895. THE FOO FIGHTERS OF WORLD WAR II. ROSWELL, 1947. AS UFO
AND ALIEN ENCOUNTERS SPREAD AROUND THE UNITED STATES,
AMERICANS GROW AFRAID. >> IN 1952, THERE WAS A HUGE
INCREASE IN UFO SIGHTINGS ACROSS THE NATION. YOU WOULD CALL THIS
A UFO WAVE. FROM COAST TO COAST, UFOs WERE PRETTY MUCH SEEN
EVERYWHERE. >> IT WAS KNOWN AS THE YEAR
OF THE UFO. WHILE MANY DISMISSED THESE STORIES AS COLD WAR
PARANOIA, ONE KEY EVENT CHALLENGED SKEPTICS ASKING WHY
ALIENS DON'T JUST SHOW UP ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN. BECAUSE
IN JULY OF 1952, THEY ALMOST DO. THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES." SINCE FOUNDING
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PRESIDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED
ALIEN ENCOUNTERS AND UNEXPLAINED SIGHTINGS OVER THE NATION'S
SOIL. COULD THERE BE A SIGNIFICANT CONNECTION
BETWEEN AN ALIEN PRESENCE AND THE LEADERS OF THE FREE
WORLD? >> IF EXTRATERRESTRIALS CAME
TO EARTH, PARTICULARLY THE UNITED STATES, AND LANDED
HERE AND WANTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH US, THEY WOULD PROBABLY
WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE LEADER OF THE UNITED STATES,
THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES.
>> AS A RESULT OF THESE ENCOUNTERS, U.S. PRESIDENTS MAY
HAVE CHANGED OUR COUNTRY, OR EVEN THE WORLD. BUT A 1952
SIGHTING STRUCK FEAR INTO THE PUBLIC'S HEART WHEN A NATION
UNDER PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN RECEIVED AN ALIEN VISIT
RIGHT OVER THE CAPITOL. "UNSEALED" CASE FILE: THE WHITE
HOUSE ALIEN INVASION. >> IN 1952, THERE WAS A HUGE
INCREASE IN UFO SIGHTINGS ACROSS THE NATION. YOU WOULD CALL THIS
A UFO WAVE. FROM COAST TO COAST, UFOs WERE PRETTY MUCH SEEN
EVERYWHERE. BUT IN 1952, A VERY HISTORIC EVENT TOOK PLACE OVER
THE SKIES OF WASHINGTON, D.C. >> WASHINGTON, D.C. AT 11:40 PM
ON JULY 19, 1952, AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER AT WASHINGTON
NATIONAL AIRPORT REPORTEDLY SPOTTED 7 UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS
SOUTHWEST OF THE CITY ON RADAR. >> ACCORDING TO THE AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROLLER WHO TRACKED THESE OBJECTS OVER THE CAPITOL, THEY
WERE MOVING IN ERRATIC FASHION. SOMETHING THAT NO ONE WAS
FAMILIAR WITH IN NORMAL AIRCRAFT.
>> THE OBJECTS MOVED INTO POSITIONS ABOVE THE CAPITOL,
THE PENTAGON, AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> THE 7 ABOVE THE CAPITOL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. CAUSED
A LOT OF PANIC AND FEAR. LET'S FACE IT, THE MILITARY
COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT AND THIS WAS AN EXTREME THREAT TO THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND OUR CONGRESS AND OUR
POLITICIANS THERE IN WASHINGTON. >> WITNESSES CALCULATE THE
OBJECTS TO BE MOVING AT 100 MILES PER HOUR AND ACCELERATING
TO AS MUCH AS 7,200 MILES PER HOUR AS THEY ROAM FREELY ABOVE
WASHINGTON. FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, PRESIDENT HARRY
TRUMAN DEMANDS ANSWERS TO THE FLYING SAUCER PROBLEM.
>> THIS WASN'T JUST A UFO APPEARANCE OVER SOME ISOLATED
DESERT SPOT. THIS WAS A UFO FORMATION OVER WASHINGTON, D.C.
AND IN A VERY UNGUARDED, UNSCRIPTED MOMENT BEFORE THE
PRESS, PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN DISCLOSED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
THAT UFOs WERE REAL. >> DID THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS?
>> WELL, YES. WE DISCUSSED IT AT EVERY CONFERENCE THAT WE HAD.
THERE'S ALWAYS THINGS LIKE THAT GOING ON. THE FLYING SAUCERS,
AND WE'VE HAD OTHER THINGS, YOU KNOW.
>> THE AIR FORCE LAUNCHES A UFO INVESTIGATION NAMED "PROJECT
BLUE BOOK." BUT THEIR RESEARCH OVER 17 YEARS CONCLUDES UFOs
ARE EASILY EXPLAINABLE. THE PROGRAM ABRUPTLY ENDS
IN 1969. >> MOST OF WHAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH IN THESE REPORTS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY FANTASY.
>> COULD "PROJECT BLUE BOOK" HAVE SIMPLY BEEN A GOVERNMENT
COVER-UP TO QUELL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC'S FEAR OF UFOs?
>> MANY PEOPLE BELIEVED, ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS, THAT NOT
ONLY WERE UFOs REAL, BUT THE GOVERNMENT WAS TRYING TO COVER
THEM UP. >> IN FACT, SOME STORIES
INDICATE THAT PRESIDENTS OF THE 20th CENTURY NOT ONLY KNEW
ABOUT ALIEN LIFE, THEY MAY HAVE HAD THE BODIES TO PROVE IT.
INVERNESS, FL. FEBRUARY 19, 1973. PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON
STEPS ONTO THE INVERNESS GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB, HOLE NUMBER
18. HE IS THERE TO MEET HIS FRIEND, ACTOR AND COMEDIAN
JACKIE GLEASON, TO HELP OPEN A CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT.
BUT ACCORDING TO A STORY REPORTED BY AIR FORCE SECURITY
OFFICER LARRY WARREN, THE EVENT IS ALLEGEDLY THE BEGINNING
OF A PRESIDENTIAL ALIEN ENCOUNTER.
>> GLEASON WAS AN AVID UFO READER, AND HE SAID HE PRESSURED
RICHARD NIXON TO TELL HIM ABOUT UFOs, WHAT DID THE GOVERNMENT
KNOW ABOUT UFOs? AND NIXON SUPPOSEDLY--ACCORDING TO LARRY
WARREN, GLEASON KEEPS PUSHING PRESIDENT NIXON TO SHOW HIM
THE UFO, SHOW HIM AN ALIEN BODY, SHOW HIM SOME KIND OF PROOF
OF UFOs. NIXON REFUSES, REFUSES, REFUSES.
>> ACCORDING TO WARREN'S TALE, GLEASON LATER REPORTED THAT
NIXON HAD FINALLY GIVEN IN AND REVEALED AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL
SECRET. >> NIXON, CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT,
SHOWED UP AT JACKIE GLEASON'S HOUSE DRIVING HIS OWN PRIVATE
CAR, NO SECRET SERVICE, NO SECURITY. TELLS GLEASON TO GET
IN, HE SAYS, "YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING? I'LL SHOW YOU
SOMETHING." THEY DRIVE TO OLMSTEAD AIR FORCE BASE,
PASS THROUGH SECURITY. THE PRESIDENT SHOWS GLEASON
THESE REMAINS OF EXTRATERRESTRIALS, ALIENS,
ENCASED IN SOME KIND OF WHAT JACKIE GLEASON DESCRIBED TO
LARRY WARREN AS A COKE DISPENSER FREEZER.
>> THE U.S. PRESIDENCY HOLDS MANY SECRETS. WE MAY NEVER KNOW
FOR SURE IF THE TALE OF NIXON AND ALIEN BODIES IS TRUE.
BUT WE MAY HAVE PROOF THAT ONE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY MET ALIENS
ALIVE. WHEN WE RETURN. THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1776, PRESIDENTS LEADING THE UNITED
STATES HAVE BECOME ENTANGLED IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST MYSTERIES
OF MANKIND, THE UFO ENIGMA. >> PEOPLE TRULY BELIEVE, AND
THIS HAS COME OUT IN VARIOUS SURVEYS AND NATIONAL POLLS ABOUT
THIS, THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS KEEPING SECRETS FROM THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT NOT ONLY THE EXISTENCE OF UFOs, BUT
GOVERNMENT'S INVOLVEMENT WITH UFOs.
>> SOME PRESIDENTS CLAIM TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF OUR NATION'S
ALIEN SECRETS. >> IF THE UNITED STATES AIR
FORCE DID RECOVER ALIEN BODIES, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT
EITHER. AND I WANT TO KNOW. >> BUT MANY MODERN PRESIDENTS
HAVE WITNESSED UFO EVENTS THAT INSPIRED THEM TO SHARE THEIR
EXPERIENCES WITH THE PUBLIC. NONE MORE THAN THE MAN KNOWN
TO SOME AS THE UFO PRESIDENT, JIMMY CARTER.
LEARY, GEORGIA, 1969. TWO YEARS BEFORE JIMMY CARTER BECOMES
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA AND LATER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
HE IS GIVING A SPEECH AT A LOCAL SCHOOL WHEN A GUEST POINTS OUT
AN UNUSUAL LIGHT IN THE SKY. >> AND CARTER SAW THIS, AND IT
AFFECTED HIM A LOT BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID HE REMEMBER THE
SIGHTING AND TALK ABOUT IT YEARS LATER, HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY
TO REPORT IT TO THE INTERNATIONAL UFO BUREAU AT
THE TIME THAT WAS INVESTIGATING THIS PHENOMENON.
>> CARTER'S OFFICIAL REPORT DESCRIBED IT AS SELF-LUMINOUS,
CHANGING FROM BLUE TO RED AND BACK TO WHITE IN COLOR.
THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 10 TO 12 WITNESSES TO THE EVENT.
AND YET CARTER WAS NOT ALONE. HIS SUCCESSOR, RONALD REAGAN,
CLAIMED TO SEE A UFO AND TOOK HIS THOUGHTS OF ALIEN INVASION
ALL THE WAY TO THE UNITED NATIONS.
1974. IN THE SKIES OVER CALIFORNIA, FUTURE PRESIDENT
GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN IS FLYING TO BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA
IN HIS CESSNA JET WHEN HE CATCHES SIGHT OF AN UNUSUAL
OBJECT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. >> WHEN GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN
WAS FLYING INTO BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, HE SAW A UFO OUTSIDE
OF HIS CESSNA AIRCRAFT. HIS EX-MILITARY PILOT ALSO SAW THIS
AND RECOUNTED THAT THE OBJECT STAYED THERE FOR QUITE A FEW
MINUTES, UH, JUST HOVERING OUTSIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THEN
ZIPPED OFF INTO THE HEAVENS AND COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED.
>> REAGAN ADMITTED HE HIMSELF WAS CONDUCTING UFO RESEARCH
ON HIS OWN TIME. HE WAS A BELIEVER, AND TO THE MAN
WHO WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT, THIS CRAFT WAS REPORTEDLY REAL,
UNIDENTIFIED, AND POSSIBLY ALIEN. A LESSON HE THOUGHT
THE ENTIRE WORLD COULD LEARN FROM.
>> PERHAPS WE NEED SOME OUTSIDE UNIVERSAL THREAT. I OCCASIONALLY
THINK HOW QUICKLY OUR DIFFERENCES WORLDWIDE WOULD
VANISH IF WE WERE FACING AN ALIEN THREAT FROM OUTSIDE
THIS WORLD. AND YET I ASK YOU, IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY
AMONG US? >> PERHAPS THE BIGGEST
PRESIDENTIAL ENCOUNTER OF ALL IS NOT A UFO SIGHTING, BUT
A MEETING BETWEEN A SITTING U.S. PRESIDENT AND AN
EXTRATERRESTRIAL HERE ON EARTH. IT IS AN ENCOUNTER SO
SIGNIFICANT IT COULD EFFECT THE FUTURE OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN,
AND CHILD, IF WE CAN PROVE IT HAPPENED.
>> EISENHOWER WAS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FIGURE IN OUR NATION'S
HISTORY. HE WAS AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL, WELL-RESPECTED
MILITARY STRATEGIST. HE CAME OUT OF WORLD WAR II, HE WAS A HERO.
OUR COUNTRY REVERED EISENHOWER. >> ACCORDING TO ALIEN THEORISTS,
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER WAS CALLED UPON TO MEET WITH ALIEN LEADERS
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. BUT ONLY ONE OF THOSE EVENTS
COINCIDES WITH THE APPEARANCE OF A POSSIBLE ALIEN CRAFT.
THE LOCATION: HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE IN NEW MEXICO. THE DATE
WAS OCTOBER 16, 1957, AND THE GUESTS: AN ALIEN RACE KNOWN
AS THE GRAYS. >> SO NOW WE GET TO THE EVENT
KNOWN AS THE HOLLOMAN LANDING, UM, WHEREIN A SHIP,
SAUCER-SHAPED SHIP LANDS ON THE TARMAC AT HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE
BASE IN FRONT OF AIR FORCE ONE, AND A MEETING WAS HELD RIGHT
THERE ON THE TARMAC. >> COMING UP NEXT, ONE CHILLING
PHOTO COULD CONNECT ALIENS AND THE HISTORY OF OUR
GOVERNMENT FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS. SEE IT AND DECIDE FOR
YOURSELF WHEN WE RETURN. THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES." THE TIME TO ACT
IS NOW. THERE ARE 3 SIMPLE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO UNSEAL
THE TRUTH. >> FOLLOW ON TWITTER.
>> FOLLOW THE "UNSEALED" TWITTER FEED TO RECEIVE BREAKING NEWS
OF THE LATEST ALIEN HAPPENINGS AS THEY DEVELOP.
>> TELL YOUR STORY. >> HAVE YOU SEEN A UFO?
>> WHATEVER WE ENCOUNTERED AFFECTED OUR MEMORY.
>> UPLOAD STORIES AND PICTURES TO OUR INTERACTIVE MAP.
>> JOIN THE MOVEMENT. >> GET THE "UNSEALED" BRACELET
AND THE UNIQUE CODE HIDDEN UNDERNEATH TO ACCESS EXCLUSIVE
CONTENT. STOP LIVING IN THE DARK.
>> IT IS DEFINITELY COMING THIS WAY.
>> GET INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT TO UNSEAL THE TRUTH. NOW.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE
DETERMINED OUR FATES. BUT HAS ALIEN CONTACT WITH
THE PRESIDENTS PLAYED A ROLE AS WELL? ON OCTOBER 16, 1957,
PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER ALLEGEDLY HELD MEETINGS WITH
EXTRATERRESTRIALS IN HOPES OF STRIKING A TREATY.
>> SO THE ONLY BIT OF EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE ABOUT THIS WHOLE
HOLLOMAN INCIDENT IS A PICTURE TAKEN ON THAT DAY, THE ALLEGED
DAY, OF A UFO ABOVE HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE. IT'S A VERIFIED
PHOTO. SO IF THIS PHOTO IS REAL, THEN POSSIBLY A MEETING REALLY
DID TAKE PLACE THAT DAY ON THE TARMAC.
>> WE MAY NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH INFLUENCE ALIENS HAVE HAD ON OUR
FOUNDING FATHERS OR CURRENT PRESIDENTS. BUT IF ANY OF THESE
ENCOUNTERS ARE TRUE, ONE THING IS CERTAIN. THE LEADERS OF THE
FREE WORLD MAY HAVE HELP FROM SOMETHING THAT IS NOT
OF THIS WORLD. THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
