>> FROM SPACE, EARTH APPEARS TO BE A BORDERLESS WORLD, DOMINATED
BY A SINGLE INTELLIGENT SPECIES. BUT LOOKS ARE DECEIVING.
HUMANITY HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS AND EPIC
POWER PLAYS SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME.
>> LET'S FACE IT, THE HUMAN RACE HAS MADE SOME VERY STUPID
DECISIONS, AND AS OUR TECHNOLOGY PROGRESSES, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
SOME HUMAN THAT'S GOING TO PRESS THE BUTTON THAT LAUNCHES
THAT NUCLEAR WEAPON. AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
YOU HAVE A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST. >> COULD AN ALIEN THREAT FORCE
HUMANS TO FORM A UNITED FRONT? JOIN US AS WE INVESTIGATE WHY
A UNITED EARTH MAY BE OUR ONLY CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL IN THE FACE
OF AN ALIEN INVASION. ON "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
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 SECRETS
ON PLANET EARTH. FEBRUARY 15, 2013. THE 2012
DA14 ASTEROID PASSES WITHIN 17,000 MILES OF EARTH, CLOSER
THAN ANY OBJECT IN RECORDED HISTORY.
100 FEET IN DIAMETER, IT IS 40,000 METRIC TONS OF SOLID
SPACE ROCK. ITS IMPACT WOULD HAVE BEEN
ALMOST 200 TIMES THE POWER OF THE ATOMIC BLAST THAT LEVELED
HIROSHIMA. THE DESTRUCTION WOULD BE
CATASTROPHIC. OVER 100 MILLION OBJECTS OF THE
SAME SIZE FLOAT IN THE VICINITY OF THE EARTH.
CONFRONTED WITH DEVASTATING POSSIBILITIES, THE UNITED
NATIONS FORMS A COMMITTEE ON THE PEACEFUL USES OF OUTER SPACE.
THEY BEGIN PLANNING FOR EMERGENCIES CAUSED BY THE IMPACT
OF METEORS OR OTHER OBJECTS FROM SPACE.
COOPERATION IN THE FACE OF DISASTER IS ONE MATTER, BUT CAN
HUMANITY RISE ABOVE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN THE FACE OF ALIEN
CONTACT? AND IF SO, WHO WOULD SPEAK
ON BEHALF OF HUMANITY?
SEPTEMBER 2010. RUMORS CIRCULATE THROUGH THE MEDIA.
THE U.N. IS ALLEGEDLY ON THE VERGE OF APPOINTING THE FIRST
EARTH AMBASSADOR IN HISTORY. MAZLAN OTHMAN, A MALAYSIAN
ASTROPHYSICIST, IS TO BE THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT FOR
HUMANITY AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS. OTHMAN IS QUOTED AS SAYING,
"WE SHOULD HAVE IN PLACE A COORDINATED RESPONSE.
THE UNITED NATIONS ARE A READY-MADE MECHANISM FOR SUCH
COORDINATION." ON THE EVE OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT,
OTHMAN SUDDENLY DENIES SHE IS TO BE OUR ALIEN AMBASSADOR.
THE U.N. HAS NO COMMENT. IS THIS A COVER-UP?
COULD OTHMAN'S APPOINTMENT HAVE BEEN CONTESTED BY POWERFUL
NATIONS SEEKING TO CONTROL ALIEN CONTACT?
HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL DISAGREEMENT
REGARDING EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE. 1945. THE UNITED NATIONS HAS
EMERGED FROM THE ASHES OF WORLD WAR II. ITS VERY EXISTENCE
IS BASED ON PROMOTING PEACE AND GLOBAL SECURITY AND
PREVENTING ANOTHER WORLD WAR. THIS HOPE IS SHORT-LIVED, AS
ANOTHER MORE SUBVERSIVE CONFLICT BEGINS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY--
THE COLD WAR. RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES
CLOSELY MONITOR EACH OTHER'S MILITARY DEPLOYMENTS.
THIS STALEMATED CONFLICT REVEALS THE TERRIFYING EXISTENCE
OF A NEW, INHUMAN THREAT TO BOTH NATIONS AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN
RACE. UNSEALED CASE FILE: THE KAPUSTIN
YAR INCIDENT. 1948, JUNE 16. KAPUSTIN YAR,
SOVIET UNION. AN EXPERIMENTAL PLANE IS BEING
TEST FLOWN WHEN THE PILOT MAKES VISUAL CONTACT WITH A STRANGE
CRAFT. RADAR ALSO PICKS UP THE UNKNOWN
OBJECT AND ORDERS THE PILOT TO BRING IT DOWN, PEACEFULLY
OR WITH FORCE. A NICAP DOCUMENT STATES:
"A BANANA- OR CUCUMBER-SHAPED OBJECT WITH BEAMS OF LIGHT
WAS TRACKED ON RADAR WHEN IT DESCENDED ACROSS THE COURSE
OF THE RUSSIAN TEST PILOT." RECEIVING NO RESPONSE TO HIS
DEMANDS TO LAND, THE PILOT PREPARES TO FIRE.
A BEAM OF LIGHT SHOOTS OUT OF THE UFO, DISABLING THE AIRCRAFT
AND BLINDING THE PILOT. WHEN HIS VISION CLEARS,
THE OBJECT IS GONE. HE GUIDES THE DISABLED PLANE
TO A SAFE LANDING. THE PLANE IS EXAMINED, AND
ALTHOUGH DRAINED OF POWER, IT IS UNDAMAGED.
THE GOVERNMENT IMMEDIATELY COVERS UP THE EVENT.
KAPUSTIN YAR REMAINED CLASSIFIED FOR DECADES.
DESPITE THE AGREEMENT BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE U.N. TO SHARE
INFORMATION REGARDING THREATS TO INTERNATIONAL SECURITY,
EVIDENCE OF ALIEN LIFE IS STILL SHROUDED IN SECRECY.
COMING UP, THE ENTIRE PLANET MAY BE AT RISK FROM SUPERPOWERS
CONTROLLING INFORMATION OF UFOs. WHY IS THE TRUTH STILL BEING
KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC? AND IS A UNITED HUMANITY ENOUGH
TO STOP AN ALIEN INVASION? THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
THE UNITED NATIONS REPRESENTS THE CLOSEST HUMANITY HAS EVER
BEEN TO GLOBAL UNITY. WAS IT FORMED TO SAVE HUMANITY
FROM ITSELF OR FROM AN ALIEN THREAT?
4 YEARS AFTER THE FORMATION OF THE U.N., A SMALLER, MORE
COMBAT-ORIENTED FORCE IS CREATED. NATO, THE NORTH
ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION, BANDS THE MILITARIES OF 14
NATIONS TOGETHER. THE POLICY OF NATO STATES, "AN
ATTACK ON ONE NATO COUNTRY IS AN ATTACK ON ALL."
WAS THIS ORGANIZATION FORMED JUST IN TIME?
1952. NATO LAUNCHES A SERIES OF COMBAT DRILLS AND SCENARIOS
DESIGNED TO SIMULATE AN ATTACK BY SOVIET FORCES.
BUT WHAT THEY ENCOUNTERED IS NO SIMULATION.
OPERATION MAINBRACE BEGINS SEPTEMBER 13, 1952.
THE FIRST EVENING, HUNDREDS OF TROOPS ABOARD THE DANISH
DESTROYER WILLEMOES OBSERVE A GLOWING TRIANGULAR OBJECT FLYING
OVER THE SHIP. THE OBJECT SUDDENLY ACCELERATES
INTO THE NIGHT SKY. MILITARY WITNESSES ESTIMATE IT
TOOK OFF AT OVER 900 MILES AN HOUR, FASTER THAN ANY AIRCRAFT
OF THE TIME. DESPITE MULTIPLE EYEWITNESSES,
NO OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE ENCOUNTER EXISTS. BUT
SHOCKING INCIDENTS LIKE THE ONE WITNESSED BY HUNDREDS FROM THE
DECK OF THE DANISH DESTROYER WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
UNSEALED CASE FILE: THE TOPCLIFFE SIGHTING.
SEPTEMBER 19, 1952. 6 DAYS AFTER THE WILLEMOES SIGHTING,
A BRITISH RAF PILOT RETURNS FROM A TRAINING EXERCISE.
THE PILOT APPROACHES RAF TOPCLIFFE BASE IN YORKSHIRE.
AS DOZENS OF WITNESSES WATCH IN HORROR, A MASSIVE SILVER DISC
COMES INTO VIEW, AS IF PURSUING THE AIRCRAFT.
CIVILIAN AND MILITARY WITNESSES REPORT THE UFO SHOWED INCREDIBLE
MANEUVERABILITY, SWINGING IN BEHIND AND UNDERNEATH
THE FIGHTER WITH EASE. MILITARY WITNESSES ARE IN SHOCK.
NO KNOWN AIRCRAFT CAN EXECUTE THOSE KINDS OF MANEUVERS.
THE INCIDENT ALARMS THE BRITISH MILITARY AND PARLIAMENT.
THE ABILITIES OF THE UFOs POSE POSSIBLE THREATS THAT NEED TO BE
TAKEN SERIOUSLY. >> MANY PILOTS REPORTED STRANGE
OBJECTS FALLING AND LIGHTED BALLS FOLLOWING THEM, DIVING
WITH THEM, COMING UP WITH THEM AND FOLLOWING THEM BACK TO BASE.
>> BUT THE MYSTERIOUS SIGHTINGS ALSO SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON THE
POLITICAL DIVIDE THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE WORLD'S SUPERPOWERS.
BOTH SIDES OF THE COLD WAR ARE ENGAGED IN A LETHAL ARMS RACE,
AMASSING STOCKPILES OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
THE WORLD HANGS DANGEROUSLY ON THE EDGE OF MUTUAL DESTRUCTION.
JETS HAVE BEEN SCRAMBLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO COUNTER
WHAT WAS BELIEVED TO BE RUSSIAN FORCES MOUNTING AN AERIAL
ASSAULT ON NATO TARGETS. SEVERAL ENCOUNTERS ARE REPORTED
NOT TO BE HOSTILE MILITARY FORCES, BUT UFOs.
HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE WORLD BEEN BROUGHT TO THE BRINK OF
NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION? AND HOW LONG WOULD IT BE ALLOWED
TO CONTINUE? THE ANSWER MAY LIE IN AN ABOVE
TOP-SECRET REPORT CLASSIFIED BY NATO.
UNSEALED CASE FILE: THE ASSESSMENT.
1963, NATO HQ. COMMAND SERGEANT ROBERT O. DEAN UNCOVERS
A PUZZLING SERIES OF OVER 500 DOCUMENTS TITLED,
"THE ASSESSMENT." THE DOCUMENT STATES, "OUR
PLANET AND THE HUMAN RACE HAVE BEEN STUDIED BY SEVERAL
DIFFERENT EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATIONS. 4 OF THESE RACES
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED VISUALLY." THE DOCUMENT'S TITLE IS SIMPLE,
BUT ITS CONTENTS ARE NOT. IT BECOMES CLEAR TO DEAN "THE
ASSESSMENT" IS EARTH'S PLAN FOR COUNTERING ALIEN INVASION.
ACCORDING TO DEAN, THE REVELATIONS OF "THE ASSESSMENT"
WERE SO SHOCKING, ONLY 12 COPIES WERE MADE.
IT DETAILS AN ESCALATING SERIES OF HUMAN-ALIEN ENCOUNTERS,
REPORTING, "A CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED PROGRAM OF SOME
KIND SEEMED TO BE UNDERWAY. IT BEGAN WITH FLYBYS, THEN
LANDINGS, AND EVENTUALLY CULMINATED IN CONTACT."
IS THIS ALIEN AGENDA ABOUT PEACEFUL CONTACT, OR PREPARING
FOR AN INVASION OF EARTH? THE MOST TERRIFYING PAGES OF
"THE ASSESSMENT" DETAIL A REPORT OF A NATO ENCOUNTER FROM 1961.
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, ALLIED RADAR STATIONS DISCOVERED
MULTIPLE AIRCRAFT ABOVE EUROPE AT AN ALTITUDE OF 100,000 FEET,
APPROACHING FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE SOVIET UNION.
BUT UNKNOWN TO NATO AT THE TIME, THE RUSSIANS DETECT A SIMILAR
FORCE APPROACHING SOVIET AIRSPACE 9 MINUTES LATER,
TRIGGERING THE UNIMAGINABLE, A COUNTDOWN TO AN ALL-OUT NUCLEAR
WAR. THE COUNTERATTACK LAUNCH SEQUENCE BEGINS, BUT SUDDENLY,
THE RADAR SCREEN IS CLEAR. PILOTS ON SCENE REPORT THE
FLEETS WERE NOT ENEMY FORCES, BUT UFOs.
TOTAL DESTRUCTION IS ONLY NARROWLY AVERTED.
NATO OFFICIALLY DENIES THE EXISTENCE OF "THE ASSESSMENT"
DOCUMENT. IT WOULD TAKE YEARS BEFORE
SOMEONE WOULD FINALLY COME FORWARD.
COMING UP...PUTTING HIS LIFE AND REPUTATION AT RISK, ONE MAN FROM
A SMALL ISLAND NATION FOREVER CHANGES HUMANITY'S STANCE
ON UFOs. THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO, "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
DESPITE GLOBAL COALITIONS DEDICATED TO THE SECURITY OF THE
HUMAN RACE, THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN LEFT IN THE DARK ABOUT EVENTS
THAT CONCERN THE SECURITY OF ALL LIFE ON EARTH.
BUT ONE MAN FINALLY FORCED THE ISSUE OUT OF THE SHADOWS.
UNSEALED CASE FILE: U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY DECISION 33-426.
1978. ERIC GAIRY, PRESIDENT OF GRENADA, BRINGS THE ISSUE
OF UFOs BEFORE THE U.N. HE PROPOSES "THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE U.N. FOR UNDERTAKING, COORDINATING,
AND DISSEMINATING THE RESULTS OF RESEARCH INTO UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECTS." HIS PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH
ABOUT ALIEN LIFE STEMS FROM A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
PRESIDENT GAIRY WITNESSED A STRANGE BODY DISCOVERED ON
A GRENADA SHORE OUTSIDE A SMALL FISHING VILLAGE.
THE CORPSE WAS HUMANOID, BUT CERTAINLY NOT HUMAN.
ITS HEIGHT WAS OVER 7 FEET AND HAD 6 FINGERS ON EACH HAND.
PRESIDENT GAIRY LOBBIES THE U.N. FOR TWO YEARS, PRODUCING
DOCUMENTS AND WITNESSES, LIKE FORMER NASA ASTRONAUT GORDON
COOPER. THE U.K. ALSO TRIED TO BLOCK
GAIRY'S UFO PROPOSAL AT THE U.N. WHAT WERE THEY ATTEMPTING TO
HIDE, OR WAS THIS DONE ON BEHALF OF THE U.K.'s BIGGEST MILITARY
PARTNER, THE UNITED STATES? MANY DOCUMENTS EXIST SUGGESTING
THE U.K.'s MINISTRY OF DEFENSE AND THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
BOTH HAVE A GREAT DEAL TO HIDE ON THE SUBJECT OF UFOs.
BUT ALL ATTEMPTS TO BLOCK GAIRY'S PROPOSAL WERE FUTILE,
AND IN AN UNPRECEDENTED VOTE, THE U.N. FINALLY HEEDS GAIRY'S
ADVICE. QUOTE, "THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HAS TAKEN NOTE OF THE DRAFT RESOLUTION SUBMITTED BY GRENADA
AT THE 33rd SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGARDING
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS AND RELATED PHENOMENA."
BUT ON THE VERGE OF THE U.N. PASSING HIS HISTORIC UFO
PROPOSAL, PRESIDENT GAIRY IS FORCED INTO EXILE.
HIS GOVERNMENT IS OVERTHROWN BY A MILITARY COUP.
WAS HIS GOVERNMENT TOPPLED TO PREVENT A UNITED SEARCH
FOR ALIEN LIFE? MANY UFO EXPERTS BELIEVE ALIEN-
HUMAN TREATIES ARE ALREADY IN PLACE, ARRANGED BY A HANDFUL OF
POWERFUL NATIONS SEEKING TO CONTROL THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY.
IS THIS POSSIBLE? DOES AN ALIEN PRESENCE ALREADY
EXIST? AND ARE HUMANS CONSIDERED TOO PRIMITIVE TO OPENLY CONTACT?
>> THERE IS SO MUCH EVIDENCE THAT OUR WORLD IS IN DECLINE.
WE HAVE STRANGE WEATHER PATTERNS, POLAR SHIFTS. I MEAN,
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WE ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM TOTAL
DESTRUCTION. ALIEN RACES COULD BE HERE TO SAVE US OR SLAUGHTER
US. AS LONG AS WE'RE IN THE DARK, WE'RE AT THEIR MERCY.
>> MANY WORLD GOVERNMENTS MAY BE ALREADY AWARE OF THIS FACT AND
ARE TAKING STEPS TO BRING THE SUBJECT OF EXTRATERRESTRIALS
INTO THE LIGHT. SINCE THE YEAR 2000, ALMOST 30
NATIONS HAVE DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON UFO ACTIVITY.
>> THERE WERE A NUMBER OF REASONS WHY THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO RELEASE THESE FILES.
ONE REASON WAS THAT THE M.O.D. WAS GETTING MORE UFO REQUESTS
UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION THAN ON ANY OTHER SUBJECT.
IT ALSO WAS THE CASE THAT IN 2007, THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT HAD
DECLASSIFIED THEIR UFO FILES. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT
THEY'RE RELEASING INFORMATION ABOUT UFOs, PEOPLE SHOULD SIT UP
AND TAKE NOTICE. IF JUST ONE OF THESE SIGHTINGS
TURNS OUT TO BE THE REAL THING, OUR WORLD CHANGES FOREVER.
>> THE MOMENT OF FULL DISCLOSURE ABOUT ALIEN LIFE ON EARTH COULD
BE CLOSE AT HAND, BUT ENDLESS GLOBAL STRIFE MAKES IT CLEAR
THAT WORLD UNIFICATION DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A
PRIORITY FOR ALL NATIONS' GOVERNMENTS.
COMING UP, IS A NEW LINE BEING DRAWN IN THE SAND THAT
PITS OLD RIVALS AGAINST EACH OTHER IN A DEADLY BATTLE FOR
WORLD DOMINATION? 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.
THE WAIT FOR UNDENIABLE PROOF OF ALIEN CONTACT MAY FINALLY BE
OVER. BUT HAS IT COME TOO LATE FOR PLANET EARTH?
ALEXEI ARBATOV IS HEAD OF THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL
SECURITY OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE.
HE BELIEVES THAT PRESIDENT PUTIN'S NEW VISION FOR RUSSIA
EXPANDS RUSSIA'S MILITARY CAPABILITIES BY CREATING A
COALITION WITH CHINA, MAKING THE UNITED STATES THEIR NUMBER ONE
ENEMY AGAIN. PUTIN'S ALLEGED FEAR IS THAT
THE U.S. AND ITS NATO ALLIES WILL INVADE RUSSIA.
IS THE THREAT REAL, OR IS A LARGER ONE LOOMING BEYOND
THE BORDERS OF OUR PLANET? AN EARTH DIVIDED BY WAR WEAKENS
ITS ABILITY TO FIGHT AND CREATES AN EASY TARGET FOR
ALIEN RACES THAT HAVE US ON THEIR RADAR.
AT THIS VERY MOMENT, AN AGGRESSIVE ALIEN SPECIES MAY BE
MONITORING EARTH FOR SIGNS OF VULNERABILITY.
AN INVASION COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.
HOW WOULD WE CONFRONT SUCH A MONUMENTAL EVENT?
THE ANSWER MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPRESSED IN A FAMOUS U.N.
SPEECH MADE BY U.S. PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN.
>> IN OUR OBSESSION WITH ANTAGONISMS OF THE MOMENT, WE
OFTEN FORGET HOW MUCH UNITES ALL THE MEMBERS OF HUMANITY.
PERHAPS WE NEED SOME OUTSIDE UNIVERSAL THREAT TO MAKE US
RECOGNIZE THIS COMMON BOND. I OCCASIONALLY THINK HOW QUICKLY
OUR DIFFERENCES WORLDWIDE WOULD VANISH IF WE WERE FACING AN
ALIEN THREAT FROM OUTSIDE THIS WORLD.
>> THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES." EXPOSING THE BIGGEST
SECRET ON PLANET EARTH.
