EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND VULNERABLE TO MECHANICAL
FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE U.S. HAS EXPERIENCED MASSIVE POWER
BLACKOUTS, AFFECTING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND THROWING THEIR LIVES
INTO SUDDEN CHAOS. BUT SOME EXPERTS BELIEVE POWER GRIDS ARE
NOT FAILING DUE TO HUMAN ERROR. THEY ARE BEING SABOTAGED BY
AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL THREAT. SINCE THE 1950s, UFOs HAVE BEEN
REPORTED HOVERING OVER POWER FACILITIES, DRAINING RESOURCES,
AND POTENTIALLY PLUNGING CITIES INTO LAWLESS DARKNESS. DO
BLACKOUTS OCCUR AS A SIDE EFFECT OF ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, OR IS THERE
A DARKER AGENDA AT WORK? JOIN US AS WE REVEAL THE GLOBAL POWER

ARGENTINA, NOVEMBER 2009. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE OUT
WEATHERING A HOT NIGHT IN THE TOWN OF JOAQUIN V. GONZALEZ.
SUDDENLY THE SKY BEGINS TO GLOW AND HUNDREDS WATCH IN TERROR AS
A STRANGE, GIGANTIC, LUMINOUS SHIP MOVES TOWARD
THE HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION ON THE JURAMENTO RIVER.
THE OBJECT HOVERS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN DISAPPEARS, BUT
NOT BEFORE OVER ONE MILLION PEOPLE ARE PLUNGED INTO TOTAL
DARKNESS. DID A SINGLE UFO CAUSE A BLACKOUT OF OVER 100 SQUARE
MILES? >> IF EXTRATERRESTRIALS ARE
REALLY SHOWING UP, WE HAVE TO ASK WHY. OBVIOUSLY THIS ISN'T
A SHOW OF FORCE BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT, WE'D BE GONE IF IT WAS
A SHOW OF FORCE. THEIR TECHNOLOGY IS SO FAR ADVANCED
FROM US. >> THE ANSWER MAY BE FOUND
DECADES EARLIER IN EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE ON U.S. SOIL.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
COMMITTEE ON AERIAL PHENOMENON, THE 1950s EXPERIENCED A WAVE OF
UFO SIGHTINGS THAT WERE LINKED TO ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTIVITY.
UNSEALED CASE FILE-- THE LEVELLAND, TEXAS INCIDENT.
LEVELLAND, TEXAS. NOVEMBER 2, 1957. DOZENS OF WITNESSES REPORT
LIGHTS IN THE SKY HOVERING FOR OVER 3 HOURS. A SIGNED STATEMENT
BY A LEVELLAND PATROLMAN GIVES TERRIFYING DETAILS OF
THE INCIDENT. "I SAW A STRANGE-LOOKING FLASH, WHICH
LOOKED TO BE DOWN THE ROADWAY. THE FLASH WENT FROM EAST TO WEST
AND APPEARED TO BE CLOSE TO THE GROUND." AS THE LIGHTS
DESCEND TO A BUSY STRETCH OF ROADWAY, 10 VEHICLES ARE STOPPED
DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS. RESIDENTS ALL OVER TOWN REPORT POWER BEING
DRAINED FROM THE CAR ENGINES. WHEN THE LIGHTS DISAPPEAR INTO
THE SKY, THE VEHICLES START AND CONTINUE ON THEIR WAY UNDAMAGED.
AMERICA'S TOP SECRET UFO UNIT, PROJECT BLUE BOOK, IMMEDIATELY
INVESTIGATES THE INCIDENT. THEY DETERMINED UFOs MAY BE USING
A TYPE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE. EDWARD RUPPELT,
FORMER CHIEF OF PROJECT BLUE BOOK, ADMITS, "WE HAD REPORTS OF
RADIATION AND INDUCTION FIELDS IN CONNECTION WITH UFOs."
THE 1957 WAVE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC CASES PRESENTS, QUOTE, "A WHOLE
NEW DIMENSION TO UFO INVESTIGATION." COULD THIS ALIEN
ELECTROMAGNETIC PHENOMENA BE USED TO DISABLE MORE THAN CAR
BATTERIES AND HEADLIGHTS? FOLLOWING THE SECOND WORLD WAR,
THE INSTALLATION OF MASSIVE POWER GRIDS ALLOWED AMERICA TO
TRIPLE ITS ENERGY CONSUMPTION. COULD THIS SUDDEN LEAP IN ENERGY
USAGE BE ATTRACTING ALIEN ATTENTION? EXETER, NEW
HAMPSHIRE, 1965, A SMALL PICTURESQUE NEW ENGLAND TOWN.
BUT THE QUIET ATMOSPHERE IS SHATTERED ONE AFTERNOON AS
MULTIPLE WITNESSES REPORT A SERIES OF GLOWING ORBS
DESCENDING FROM THE SKIES AND TAPPING DIRECTLY INTO POWER
LINES. LOCAL POLICE ARRIVE ON THE SCENE AS AN AIR FORCE BOMBER
APPEARS IN THE SKY. THE UFO QUICKLY FLIES OFF WITH
THE PLANE IN PURSUIT. BUT WHAT HAPPENS JUST 9 WEEKS LATER WILL
TRANSFORM THE POWER INDUSTRY FOREVER. NOVEMBER 9, 1965.
A MOTHER AND HER CHILDREN OBSERVE A FIREBALL STREAKING
ACROSS THE SKY OVER SYRACUSE, NEW YORK. AS IT PASSES,
THE LIGHTS IN THEIR HOME FLICKER OMINOUSLY. COMING UP, MILLIONS
ARE STRANDED IN SUDDEN DARKNESS. IS HUMAN ERROR TO BLAME, OR
ALIEN SABOTAGE? THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES." NOVEMBER 9, 1965.
THE LARGEST BLACKOUT THE CONTINENT HAS EVER SEEN
DESCENDS ON NORTH AMERICA. THE GREAT NORTHEASTERN BLACKOUT
PLUNGED 30 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS TWO COUNTRIES INTO TOTAL
DARKNESS. 8 EASTERN U.S. STATES AND MUCH OF SOUTHERN CANADA ARE
LEFT WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. SYRACUSE AIRPORT, NEW YORK.
PLANES BEGINNING THEIR DESCENT ARE MET BY A PITCH BLACK
RUNWAY. WITHIN ONE MINUTE OF THE BLACKOUT, PASSENGERS AND
THE DEPUTY AVIATION COMMANDER AT THE SYRACUSE AIRPORT WITNESS
A MASSIVE 150-FOOT FIERY DISC MOVING ACROSS THE SKY. AS
THE AIRPORT PLUNGES INTO DARKNESS, A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
AND HIS STUDENT BEGIN THEIR DESCENT TOWARD THE TARMAC.
WHILE PREPARING FOR LANDING, THEY WITNESS ANOTHER STRANGE
GLOWING LIGHT OVER THE NEARBY CLAY SUBSTATION, A SUPER HIGHWAY
OR POWER. THEN, AT 5:27 PM, POWER CEASES FOR APPROXIMATELY
25 MILLION PEOPLE. NEW YORK CITY RUSH HOUR DESCENDS INTO CHAOS,
LOADED ELEVATORS STOP IN THE SHAFTS, AND 800,000
COMMUTERS ARE STRANDED IN SUBWAY TUNNELS. ABOVE GROUND, STOP
LIGHTS FAIL, TRAFFIC JAMS EXTEND MILES IN EVERY DIRECTION,
AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE RUSH INTO THE DARK
STREETS. A BRIGHT LIGHT IN THE SKY APPEARS ABOVE
THE DARKENED CITY. IS IT THE SAME UFO WITNESSED AT THE CLAY
SUBSTATION, OR IS A SECOND MYSTERIOUS CRAFT DRAINING NEW
YORK CITY OF EVERY KILOWATT OF POWER? WHEN THE NEW YORK POWER
AUTHORITY DISPATCHES A TEAM TO THE CLAY SUBSTATION, THEY ARE
ALLEGEDLY MET BY FBI AGENTS. BUT WHILE LOOTING AND FIRES GRIP
THE CITY, THE POWER AUTHORITY'S INVESTIGATION FINDS NOTHING OUT
OF THE ORDINARY AND POWER IS RESTORED 13 HOURS LATER. THE FBI
REFUSES TO COMMENT OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR INVOLVEMENT.
BUT WHY WOULD A POWER OUTAGE EVEN REQUIRE MULTIPLE AGENTS OF
THE FBI? OVER THE ENSUING WEEKS, A MEDIA FRENZY SPECULATES THAT
AN ALIEN CRAFT IS THE CAUSE OF THE BLACKOUT. "LIFE" MAGAZINE,
ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED MAGAZINES EVER PUBLISHED, RUNS
A PHOTO WITH THE CAPTION "COULD THIS BE A UFO?" BUT IT ISN'T
UNTIL 3 YEARS LATER THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF ALIEN
INTERFERENCE IS INVESTIGATED. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS HOLDS A SPECIAL
SESSION. UNSEALED CASE FILE-- THE SYMPOSIUM ON UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECTS. WASHINGTON DC, 1968. JAMES McDONALD,
A RENOWNED PROFESSOR AT THE INSTITUTE FOR ATMOSPHERIC
PHYSICS, SHARES HIS UFO FINDINGS. McDONALD HAS BEEN
GRANTED UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS TO EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY,
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTATION, AND EVEN THE TOP SECRET BLUE BOOK
FILES ON UFO ACTIVITY. McDONALD WARNS "THERE IS A PUZZLING AND
QUITE DISTURBING COINCIDENCE BETWEEN THE SIGHTINGS AND POWER
BLACKOUTS. GREATLY EXPANDED ATTENTION TO THE UFO PROBLEM IS
URGENTLY NEEDED." McDONALD'S FINDINGS MAKE HEADLINES AND SEND
SHOCKWAVES THROUGH THE AMERICAN POWER STRUCTURE. THAT SAME YEAR,
RENOWNED PHYSICIST EDWARD CONDON AND HIS TEAM PRESENT A HIGHLY
ANTICIPATED GOVERNMENT UFO REPORT TO THE SCIENTIFIC
COMMUNITY. MANY BELIEVE THE ANSWER TO THE UFO QUESTION
MAY FINALLY BE AT HAND. UNSEALED CASE FILE--THE CONDON REPORT.
ONE CRITIC DESCRIBED THE REPORT AS "THE MOST INFLUENCE PUBLIC
DOCUMENT CONCERNING THE SCIENTIFIC STATUS OF THIS
UFO PROBLEM. HENCE, ALL CURRENT SCIENTIFIC WORK ON THE UFO
PROBLEM MUST MAKE REFERENCE TO THE CONDON REPORT." INDUSTRY
WELCOMES A SCIENTIFIC REPORT BEING APPLIED TO THE UFO
PHENOMENON. ONE SUCH LEADER IS THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY,
STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTANDING INCREASING INCIDENTS OF UFOs
DRAINING POWER FROM CARS ALL ACROSS AMERICA. NICAP,
THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS COMMITTEE ON AERIAL PHENOMENA,
OFFERS ITS HELP TO THE GOVERNMENT IN STUDYING
THE ALLEGED SIGHTINGS AND THEIR MYSTERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
NUMEROUS TESTS AND STIMULATIONS ARE RUN BASED ON
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC EVIDENCE, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE
HOW THE CARS WERE IMMOBILIZED. IT SEEMS THE DAY OF DISCLOSURE
COULD FINALLY BE AT HAND. COMING UP, WILL THE CONDON REPORT
OFFICIALLY EXPOSE THE REALITY OF AN ALIEN THREAT, OR DO THEY HAVE
A HIDDEN AGENDA? THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES." WASHINGTON DC,
1969. REPORTS OF UFOs SIPHONING POWER, IMMOBILIZING
CARS, AND CAUSING CITY-WIDE BLACKOUTS HAVE RAISED CONCERN
WITH BIG BUSINESS, MEDIA, AND THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. IN
RESPONSE, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONS THE CONDON REPORT TO
DETERMINE THE TRUTH. BUT THEIR OFFICIAL FINDINGS MAY BE
ANYTHING BUT. UNSEALED CASE FILE--THE CONDON REPORT COVER
UP. A LEAKED MEMO IS DISCOVERED THAT RIPS THE CONDON
INVESTIGATION APART. ACCUSATIONS EMERGE OF A GOVERNMENT COVER UP.
IN THE MEMO, ONE LEAD RESEARCHER REFERRED TO THE SEARCH FOR
EXTRATERRESTRIALS AS NONSENSE. NICAP IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWS ITS
INVOLVEMENT, CLAIMING THE INVESTIGATION IS A SHAM AND
NO REAL RESULTS WERE EVER INTENDED. IN THE FACE OF
MOUNTING EVIDENCE AND HUNDREDS OF EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS,
THE CONDON REPORT STILL STATES, "NOTHING HAS COME FROM THE STUDY
OF UFOs IN THE PAST 21 YEARS THAT HAS ADDED TO SCIENTIFIC
KNOWLEDGE. CAREFUL CONSIDERATION LEADS US TO CONCLUDE THAT
FURTHER EXTENSIVE STUDY OF UFOs PROBABLY CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED."
ON THE HEELS OF THE CONDON REPORT, THE GOVERNMENT SUDDENLY
CEASES ALL INVESTIGATIONS INTO UFO PHENOMENON. THE AIR FORCE
OFFICIALLY CLOSES PROJECT BLUE BOOK ON DECEMBER 17, 1969. JAMES
McDONALD ADDRESSES THE MEDIA BEFORE THE REPORT'S RELEASE AND
CLAIMS THE INVESTIGATIONS WERE DESIGNED TO FAIL. A NEWSPAPER
ARTICLE OF THE DAY STATES, "HE REPEATED THE ACCUSATION THAT
THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY HAD ORDERED THE AIR FORCE TO
DEBUNK UFO REPORTS." >> SO THAT WAS REALLY A POLICY
THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED BACK IN 1953 THROUGH THE CIA, AND
ESSENTIALLY, THAT CONTINUES TO THIS VERY DAY, WHERE MOST
SCIENTISTS, MOST PEOPLE WHO OCCUPY SENIOR POSITIONS IN
THE BUREAUCRACY OR IN THE MEDIA OR ANY POSITION OF INFLUENCE, IF
THEY TALK ABOUT THIS TOPIC, THEY WILL BE VERY EASILY RIDICULED.
>> IT APPEARS THE GOVERNMENT WOULD GO TO ANY LENGTHS TO
CONTROL INFORMATION ABOUT UFO PRESENCE. BUT WHAT IT COULD NOT
CONTROL WAS THE ESCALATING THREAT. THROUGHOUT THE NEXT
DECADE, AMERICA DEVELOPS A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER TO FEED
ITS INSATIABLE NEED, ONE THAT MAY PUT US DIRECTLY ON
EXTRATERRESTRIAL RADAR. BY 1977, TENSIONS OVER ECONOMIC CONCERNS
AND A NORTH AMERICAN ENERGY CRISIS HAVE THE POPULATION ON
EDGE. U.S. PRESIDENT CARTER INFORMS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
THE ENERGY CRISIS IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO OUR NATION.
BUT IS CARTER REFERRING TO THE MIDDLE EAST OIL CRISIS OR
AN ALIEN THREAT? JULY 12, NEW YORK STATE.
THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS IS STRANGELY QUIET. THE SERIAL
MURDERER KNOWN AS THE SON OF SAM HAS RECENTLY CLAIMED HIS SIXTH
VICTIM. BUT NEW YORK IS FACING AN EVEN MORE SHOCKING, UNEARTHLY
ASSAULT. WHILE DRIVING HOME, A FAMILY WITNESSES TWO
UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT DESCENDING ON THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AT
INDIAN POINT. THE HIGHWAY IS SOON FILLED WITH PARKED CARS AND
ONLOOKERS WATCHING IN AWE AS THE GLOWING CRAFTS HOVER OVER
THE PLANT. REPORTEDLY, THEY ARE EERILY SILENT. RED, GREEN, AND
BLUE LIGHTS ROTATE ON THE TOP OF THE CRAFTS. ARE THEY MONITORING
THE INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR FACILITY?
>> THERE ARE UFO CASES WHERE THEY WOULD APPEAR AND ACTUALLY
SHUT DOWN THE NUCLEAR FACILITY SOMETIMES FOR MINUTES ON END.
THEY WOULD HAVE AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL EFFECT ON THE BASE.
>> EVENTUALLY DOZENS OF WITNESSES REPORT SEEING UFOs
THAT NIGHT. THE VERY NEXT DAY, JUST 30 MILES SOUTH OF INDIAN
POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, NEW YORK CITY IS HIT WITH ANOTHER
DEVASTATING BLACKOUT. HUNDREDS OF STORES AND HOMES ARE LOOTED.
RAMPANT ARSON DESTROYS ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS. 35 BLOCKS OF
BROADWAY ALONE ARE DESTROYED. POLICE AND FIREMAN STRUGGLE TO
MAINTAIN SOME KIND OF ORDER, BUT THE CITY IS IN A STATE OF
TOTAL CHAOS. OVER 55 POLICE ARE INJURED AND OVER 4,500 PEOPLE
ARE ARRESTED. IN THE MORNING, AS THE SUN BEGINS TO RISE, SEVERAL
FIRES STILL RAGE ACROSS THE CITY. NEW YORK CITY MAYOR
ABE BEAME TOLD THE PRESS, "THE BLACKOUT HAS THREATENED OUR
SAFETY AND HAS SERIOUSLY IMPACTED OUR ECONOMY. WE'VE BEEN
NEEDLESSLY SUBJECTED TO A NIGHT OF TERROR IN MANY COMMUNITIES
THAT HAVE BEEN WANTONLY LOOTED AND BURNED." NEW YORK CITY
EVENTUALLY REBUILT AND RECOVERED. BUT IN THE DECADE TO
COME, MANKIND WOULD FIND NEW WAYS TO FEED ITS THIRST FOR
POWER AND TECHNOLOGY. DID OUR ESCALATING RELIANCE ON POWER
MAKE US EVEN MORE VULNERABLE TO ALIEN INTERFERENCE? UFO
SIGHTINGS OVER NUCLEAR FACILITIES ARE STILL OCCURRING
ALL AROUND THE WORLD. WHY ARE UFOs ATTRACTED TO NUCLEAR POWER?
IS IT MERELY A CONVENIENT SOURCE OF FUEL? IF SO, THE GREATER
QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF OUR NUCLEAR OUTPUT FAILS TO
MEET THEIR INCREASING NEEDS? COMING UP, DOES
AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL HUNGER FOR POWER THREATEN THE SOURCE OF ALL
LIFE ON EARTH? THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES." THE TIME TO ACT IS
NOW. TELL US YOUR STORY. GET INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT TO UNSEAL
THE TRUTH NOW. EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT UFOs MAY
HAVE BEEN SIPHONING ENERGY FROM OUR INFRASTRUCTURE GRID FOR
DECADES, CAUSING DEVASTATING BLACKOUTS AND WIDESPREAD CHAOS.
AS OUR DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY INCREASES, SO DO OUR ENERGY
NEEDS, FROM COMMUNICATIONS TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO
HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS. EVEN THE POLICE AND MILITARY RELY ON
COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE POPULOUS.
A GLOBAL BLACKOUT WOULDN'T MERELY DISABLE US, IT WOULD
PARALYZE US. WE WOULD BE COMPLETELY VULNERABLE TO ATTACK,
FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT. BUT WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE?
>> HOW MUCH ENERGY DOES IT TAKE FOR A CRAFT TO GO 5,000 MILES
AN HOUR, 10,000 MILES AN HOUR? OBVIOUSLY, HUGE AMOUNTS OF
ENERGY. >> FUELING AN ALIEN SPECIES
CAPABLE OF TRAVELING ACROSS MULTIPLE GALAXIES COULD QUICKLY
EXHAUST THE EARTH'S NATURAL RESOURCES. AND IF EARTH IS NO
LONGER A SOURCE OF FUEL, WHAT IS? THE SUN IS THE GREATEST
POWER SOURCE IN OUR SYSTEM, PRODUCING 384.6 SEPTILLION WATTS
EVERY SECOND AND SUSTAINING ALL LIFE ON OUR PLANET. BUT IN 2012,
NASA'S SOLAR DYNAMICS OBSERVATORY CAPTURED FOOTAGE OF
WHAT APPEARED TO BE A UFO CONNECTING TO THE SUN BEFORE
ACCELERATING OFF INTO DEEP SPACE. IS THIS EVIDENCE THAT
THE SUN IS THEIR NEXT TARGET? IS EVEN THE POWER OF A STAR ENOUGH
TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF ALIEN ENERGY NEEDS? EXPERTS BELIEVE
THAT AN ALIEN SPECIES MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO DRAIN THE SUN,
THE VERY LIFE SOURCE OF OUR PLANET. AND IF SO, ARE THEY
PLANNING TO PUT HUMANITY IN THE DARK ONCE AND FOR ALL?
THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES," EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON
PLANET EARTH.
