CHUCK: So you guys have heard
of the 1997 March 13th Phoenix light incident?
Yeah, it was a pretty big deal.
Well, we have another sighting in the same area.
What type of sighting?
It was a high-altitude commercial-pilot sighting.
Oh. Oh.
Sweet, so he's a pilot.
He's been a commercial pilot for a while now,
but I believe he's got some military flying experience also.
Oh, okay.He's been trained to observe.
He's a credible witness at this point.
Now we get an opportunity to find out
from a pilot's point of view about UFO sightings.
If they have sightings,
they generally don't come forward.

Blen Green, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too. - What did you see?
BLENUS: It was February the 24th of last year.
We were going from San Diego to DFW.
It was the middle of the afternoon,
bright, beautiful day.
We were, I think, 35,000 or 37,000 feet.
There was a general aviation jet in front of us,
and we heard this jet in front of us ask
Albuquerque Center,
"Hey, you know, what plane just flew over the top of us?"
And Albuquerque Center said, "We have nothing on radar."
So then Albuquerque Center asked me.
Maybe a minute later, you know, I saw this...
the best way to describe it is a bright light.
I mean, I've been flying jets since 1987.
I've never seen anything like it, ever.
When you're at 35,000 feet, generally,
you're above most of the clouds.
So I mean, there's sunshine, you know?
I mean, it's bright, and for something to be that bright,
in the middle of the day, it's pretty phenomenal.
So it wasn't some reflection on it, then?
It was actually emitting its own light?
Yes. Yeah.
- Not a flare, not a star. - No.
Do flares even operate at that altitude for...
From another airplane?
Yeah, but a flare is gonna burn out pretty quickly.
Yeah.
What about a high-altitude drone?
No, a drone is not gonna be as big as another airliner,
and it's not gonna be emitting that light either.
Most pilots are afraid to talk about what they've seen,
let alone go public.
Most pilots are probably just reluctant
to say something
just because of the stigma attached to it.
I feel okay talking about it because it's documented.
Four other pilots saw it in two different aircrafts.
I would just like to know what we saw.
Nobody ever came in, you know, in an official capacity
from the government or FAA or anything.
Nobody ever came and asked me what I saw.
Well, would you think it would be a national security thing
if there was something flying up there?
You would think, right?
DAN: I think it's pretty odd
that you have this credible captain
reporting to the air-traffic controller
that they now have seen the same object
that another pilot has seen,
and then they're just, like, nonchalant about it.
"Oh, okay, cool."
And then they just keep flying.
Like, I don't understand that.
Did that experience change your views on UFOs?
In the past, if somebody said they saw a UFO,
I might, you know, go, "Right, whatever."
Mm-hmm.
But now I wouldn't discount it.
I actually know a couple of people in Colorado
that saw the same thing that you saw,
but they saw it from the ground.
It was the same day?It was the same day.
If it's okay with you, I'd like to Skype them
real quick, have you talk with them.
Yeah, sure.
It's okay? Yeah.
I'm Blen, Blenus Green. How are you?
I'm Pat Staffieri, and this Maria.
I am Maria Staffieri.
Nice to meet you.
Go ahead and describe your sighting.
Well, we were up on Interstate 10,
and we were heading in a westerly direction.
It was just a bright light,
and it was about 7 miles when we first saw it,
and we kept heading west, and it never moved.
It can't be an airplane.
There's no blinking lights, and it was a large light.
And it just hovered there.
There were people standing
on the side of the roads, looking up.
Really?
It was approximately 2:00 to 3:00 when we saw it.
I think it was late afternoon.
Okay.
And it was just like you said.
It was just this bright light, and it was weird
because it was bright all the way around it.
So normally, you know,
if the sun is hitting something,
the reflection of the sun is gonna be brighter
than the backside.
Well, this thing, the backside
was just as bright as the front side.
All the way around,
it was just one constant brightness.
That's exactly correct.
That's exactly what we saw.
Yes. - Yeah.
♪♪
CHUCK: What I really liked about Captain Blenus' report
was not only do we have a pilot
that saw something 30,000 feet up,
but now we have two eyewitnesses that saw it from ground level.
That really validates this UFO sighting.
Wow, that's a lot of information to download right there.
Four pilots saw it.
And not only that, but...
and then two more people from the ground saw it.
Well, that light had to be bright.
So it was bright enough that the people
from the ground could see it, too.
And let's not forget where we are.
This is Phoenix.
This is a really hot area.
Heather, I think what we need to do
is do a little research on the Phoenix lights...
Yeah.
...and see it it correlates with what the pilot saw.
What are you thinking, Dan?
I want to get with the tower, and I want to figure out
where exactly those planes were at,
get their coordinates, their exact altitude,
exact time of day.
Maybe between what you get and what we get,
we can kind of figure out
where these things are coming from.
I bet there's more up there than we think.
Well, that's what we're here to find out.
We've got a lot of work ahead of us,
so let's go do it.
NARRATOR: One of the witnesses to the 1997 Phoenix Lights
is Dr. Lynne Kitei.
Her documentary on the event is screening at a local theater,
and she's agreed to meet with the team.
♪♪
CHUCK: Dr. Lynne, I want to learn what really happened
with the Phoenix Lights.
March 13th, what was so impactful
was that thousands of people were purposely outside,
looking up...
They were oval-shaped, like an egg on its side.
The light did not extend outside the edge.
It was self-contained,
and I thought, "Wow, an actual craft."
It was just the most awesome sight I ever saw.
I thought, "Geez, I've got to get a picture of this
or no one is gonna believe it."
I started clicking away.

I just saw something over there.
REPORTER #4: There are currently
hundreds of eyewitnesses coming forward
in an event now known as the Phoenix Lights.
It was just the most awesome sight I ever saw.
I thought, "Geez, I've got to get a picture of this
or no one is gonna believe it."
I started clicking away.
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
♪♪
And immediately noticed an eerie silence.
It actually felt that something was watching me.
It was unnerving. I started to shake.
I thought, "What is this, a mother ship or a fleet?"
I mean, it was massive.
There were jets sent out to intercept
one of these mile-wide craft.
As they approached, the lights started to dim
as they got a little closer.
The entire thing blinked out and disappeared.
When the Phoenix Lights happened,
what did the local authorities say?
After the mass sighting, there was no investigation.
But we're talking over 10,000 people,
at least that's estimated, that saw these phenomena.
And a month later, I get a call from one of the PR heads
from the Air National Guard, and she goes, "Oh, Dr. Lynne,
I think we know what those lights were back in March."
You know, she says to me that the Air National Guard
was in town setting off flares in Operation "Snowbird,"
which I later found out meant diversion
or tactical maneuvers in military terms,
which, hey, they may have been sending off flares,
but there's not one witness that has described
any of the flare characteristics.
CHUCK: It seems like it's a cover-up.
Exactly.
In May, former Councilwoman
Vice Mayor Frances Barwood asked,
"Why isn't there an investigation?"
She was plastered by the media,
and there was so much ridicule and snickering.
CHUCK: When real people are actually seeing these things,
experiencing these things,
why does the media make fun of this?
Some people can't deal with this topic.
HEATHER: Yes.
Some people don't want to.
And that was one of the big reasons I came forward,
not only to set the record straight,
get the data out there,
let people know they're not crazy.
It's important to share and not let it fester
when you have an experience like this.
You've lived in the area for a long time.
Have you heard of any other sightings like this before?
Oh, yes.
What's really interesting is there are Navajo Rangers,
law enforcement.
They have come forward to acknowledge
that they are happening, and they need to be studied.
It'd be great if we could interview
one of the Navajo contacts that she has.
Oh, absolutely.
♪♪
NARRATOR: While Chuck and Heather
conclude their interview with Dr. Lynne,
Dan gathers information from the Albuquerque Control Tower.
My name is Dan Zukowski.
I have some questions about how you guys operate
when it comes to your flight patterns.
If I wanted to actually get information
pertaining to a certain day, is that possible?
Okay.
Took some digging, but I was able to obtain
Captain Blenus' flight pattern for the day.
I'm hoping that's gonna help us determine
where that craft was coming from.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Chuck reaches out
to Dr. Lynne's contact,
a retired Navajo Ranger who has been investigating
UFO sightings for over 10 years.
Navajo Rangers protect
and patrol tribal historical sights
in the Southwestern United States.
I appreciate the opportunity to talk to you.
I couldn't wait for this interview
because I was pretty excited to talk with a Navajo Ranger.
I had heard at least some of them
were talking about having UFO sightings.
Have you personally seen anything?
Many, many times.
I've seen orbs.
I was followed by one.
The orb that was following me
was about the size of a basketball
at about 2:00 in the morning.
It followed me right down the middle of the highway
for about 35 miles.
It continued to parallel my course,
and then it just faded out and disappeared.
Wow.
In my work, you rely on your sixth sense,
and all the flags went up during that time,
and I got this feeling
that it didn't mean me any good.
Were you hesitant to talk about your sightings
while you were active law enforcement?
Back in 2000, during that time,
the police department
didn't want to handle those cases,
and they ridiculed the people that reported them.
My director instructed us
that we will take these cases.
We will take them seriously and investigate them
the best of our ability.
For 11 years, we investigated these type of cases.
Have you ever had anybody from the federal government
try to intervene in your investigations?
We have a long history of distrust
of the U.S. government.
We've seen special-operations people show up
after some of our investigations.
We've seen flights of black helicopters
flying over the area.
We had a black Cadillac Escalade show up.
Guy comes out.
He's armed to the teeth, wearing battle dress uniform.
Then he opens up the back.
He takes out what looks like an ice chest,
opens the ice chest, and smoke came out of it.
So I'm thinking dry ice.
He picks up something off the ground,
puts it inside and then drives off.
You believe that the federal government may be hiding
what's going on, you know, at least in your area?
Oh, sure. Yes.
Why is Arizona so active?
I think that there's some kind of vortex
that's in Sedona
where we have a lot of sightings.
Things seem to pop in.
CHUCK: The vortex is a really interesting theory.
We had these lights as large as an airplane appearing
and disappearing right over them,
so that's one explanation why something so big
can just vanish instantly.
♪♪
NARRATOR: After gathering data
from the Albuquerque Control Tower,
Dan reunites with the team to share his findings.
DAN: So I made contact with Albuquerque Center,
and I was able to get some information from them.
Based off of what Captain Blenus had seen and where he'd seen it,
it looks like it's coming from Sedona.
CHUCK: That's exactly where the Rangers
had their sightings.
It looks like Sedona is where we need to go.
Did you just see the flash over there?
It just disappeared.
CHUCK: [Bleep] I got a helicopter coming in.
♪♪
NARRATOR: After interviewing
multiple UFO witnesses in Phoenix,
Chuck has pinpointed Sedona as a possible epicenter
of these mysterious sightings.
The presence of vortexes in Sedona could explain
why this is such a hot spot for UFOs.
♪♪
Physicist Pete Sanders has been investigating
the phenomenon for decades.
The vortex is an enhanced energy site
that makes it easier to dimensions beyond.
Is there any instrument, like an EMF meter,
that can detect a vortex?
We can't use current technology
to measure the vortexes
because the energy flows are probably
in the dimensions beyond...
that superstrings physics says now everybody exists in.
Superstrings physics basically says,
everything exists in 10 or more dimensions.
So vortex, you can tap dimensions beyond
and maybe even connect with extradimensional beings.
Hmm.
I think a lot of people seem to think of a vortex
as sort of tornado.
Is that accurate?
It's not measurable like a wind tornado,
but there's a lot of things
that aren't as physically tangible as wind,
like electromagnetic radio-wave signals
or, you know, pulses from the stars.
They were existing even before we could measure them,
so, too, these energy flows and these deeper dimensions
are not currently measurable with our current technology.
Aliens, then, could be using vortexes.
Correct.
There's something coming in and out of this area
and traveling across Arizona.
The Phoenix Lights probably came over this area, too,
back in 1997.
They might be using it to help communicate
by the veil being pierced a little bit.
NARRATOR: While vortexes cannot be seen or measured,
witnesses repeatedly link them
to the presence of UFOs in Sedona.
Native Americans have been documenting encounters
with extraterrestrials for thousands of years,
reporting mysterious celestial beings
that are able to manifest as spheres of light.
Could it be that these craft are back,
trying to communicate with modern society?
The team will now be meeting with a Sedona local
who's been documenting sightings for the last decade.
So the first thing is Bear Mountain,
right in front of us.
All of the Sedona locals will tell you
that's a well-known UFO hot spot.
And if you go behind Bear Mountain,
that road is gonna dead-end to Bradshaw Ranch.
DAN: And what's at Bradshaw Ranch?
Something happen there?
So I have seen all kinds of things at Bradshaw Ranch,
from UFOs to black helicopters
going in and out of there, weird encounters.
A lot of people will tell you,
they could just be hiking anywhere around Bear Mountain,
and all of a sudden, military guys in full gear
and automatic weapons just come up out of nowhere,
tell them to turn around and leave
and then just kind of disappear.
What it sounds like, there's a lot of stuff going on here,
so it would make sense that there is military here.
HEATHER: The people that have been confronting these hikers,
do you think they're connected to the government?
Some type of government, probably not the ones
that we think of as government.
The lights and the craft you see are in this area right here?
Yeah, Bear Mountain a lot, Secret Mountain Wilderness,
a little bit on Wilson Mountain.
So we see a lot of ships go in and out.
I've got pictures of everything that I've seen out here,
so I will share them with you.

- Yeah. - Yeah, that's weird.
That looks bright, okay. That's what I want to see.
- Whoa. - Yeah, that's the stuff.
DAN: That's what I'm talking about.
If there's one spot on that mountain
where there's a lot of activity, where is it at?
There are several hot spots,
but I'd need infrared laser to point them out.
CHUCK: Yeah, we can mark that.
But it won't work during the day.
Okay, let's set up for a night watch.
So are we gonna see anything tonight?
If the sky clears up, absolutely.
If I flash the laser at them,
and they flash back, that's communication.
- That would be interesting. - Yeah, oh, yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah, we want that.
Yeah.
We know that there's something going on in the area
based on all the military presence, but why?
What are they monitoring?
CHUCK: Alright, Anita.
What's the game plan for tonight?
Well, we can all put our superpowers together
and get the sky to clear.
That would be awesome.
So this down here, this is Bear Mountain.
A lot of the contact that I have made
has been that area right there.
To the left of there, there are no roads,
and there are no houses,
so it's really dark in that area.
A lot of times, we'll see slow movement.
Like, all of a sudden, there will be a light
on top of Bear, and it will just slowly move.
Sometimes it'll disappear,
and sometimes it'll flash back.

NARRATOR: Following an eventful night
of unexplained activity in the Sedona mountains,
the team meets with a local
whose extensive knowledge on the history of the Bradshaw Ranch
might prove a connection to the area's UFO activity.
So what can you tell us about the Bradshaw Ranch?
Well, I have cowboyed not far from there
for a couple of years, to the west of there,
and I'm a professional guide in the area.
The Bradshaw Ranch
was once privately owned by Bob Bradshaw,
and he operated out there, cattle for years.
The Forest Service started trying to push him off
using environmental law
and trying to get ahold of that ranch,
and no one really understood why.
Eventually, the Forest Service pushed him and pushed him,
and they ended up selling out,
and now it's under lock and key.
No one goes out there, and no one goes in there.
Now mid-to-late '90s,
there was a rash of people coming in contact
with what would be described as soldiers.
Private security?
Possibly, yeah.
Why would the U.S. Forest Service
need that type of security?
I don't know. That's a good question.
Have you heard reports of government vehicles
going in and out of that area?
There's military vehicles, tanks,
Bradleys that were unloaded off a train
that disappeared up into the wall of Pine Mountain Range.
The gentleman I interviewed was a prospector in Kingman,
and when he went to look at the area,
he saw this train parked with,
like, 90 cars on it, he said, just full of tanks
and military Hummers and Bradleys and whatnot.
And when he came back two hours later,
the cars were there, but all the equipment was gone.
And I followed the tracks.
It went up a wash,
right up into the wall of Pine Mountain Range.
There's no history of them
doing military maneuvers in that area?
Nope. And he went home,
and he looked on his map of where he could prospect,
and that whole area had been blacked out.
It was now government property.
90 vehicles is, like, a brigade combat team.
It was an orchestrated operation.
So something is drawing the UFOs
either to this area or there's a base there.
So there's rumors of tunnels under the entire area.
Sedona has been known since the '50s
as being a mecca for paranormal activity.
Whatever is going on at the Bradshaw Ranch,
somebody up in the higher echelons of our government
understands what's going on here.
♪♪
We've interviewed a lot of witnesses,
a lot of people who've seen sightings in this area.
We've heard about underground bases,
military presence, vortexes.
We actually saw lights in the sky.
Everything we've heard, everything we've seen
is pointing towards Bear Mountain
where the Bradshaw Ranch is.
That's where I want to go.
We know that there's been
a strong military presence there.
There's also rumors
that there's an interdimensional window there
that all this activity passes through.
So it seems like a pretty active place.
I wonder what it is
about Bradshaw Ranch and Bear Mountain
that draws all this activity.
Like, what is it about that area?
Well, if Bear Mountain is the stem of the activity

I'm at a stopping point here.
I'm about, I don't know,
15 feet from the top, but I can't get to it.
There's just cliffs.
Do you see anything unusual up there?
Yeah, so we've got a couple of little cave things up here.
I mean, they could be something.
A cave?
Can you get to it?
Nah, I can't get it from here.
It's too far away.
It's on the ridge right across from me,
but I can't get to it.
Alright. Copy that.
There's nothing man-made up here.
There's no houses, no electricity, no lights.
There are some caves, though.
I think we have a mystery on our hands.
I can't explain what we saw last night.

CHUCK: Hey, Dan.
If things get interesting at the Bradshaw Ranch,
we may be a little late,
so let's just meet back at the truck.
Copy. We did our recon up here.
We're heading down now.
Copy that.

NARRATOR: Chuck and Heather meet with another Sedona local
who is very familiar with the mysterious Bradshaw Ranch.
LINA: Northern Arizona University leased the land.
Oh, it's interesting that there's security cameras...
Oh, yeah. ...up there.
I can see them. Yep.
That's probably to keep everybody off the property.
And the speculation that this whole idea
of the university being here
is another cover-up for what may actually be happening
or still investigating by the government or other.
In 2003, the Bradshaw Ranch was purchased
by the government from Bob Bradshaw.
It became famous for its unexplained phenomena
and recurring UFO sightings,
and now it's rumored to be under government surveillance.
Have you talked to anybody from the university
that's actually been here?
No, I have not.
I'm just wondering if that's a cover-up
or there actually is people
from the university working that area.
Well, based on what you see out here,
something is happening,
but we don't know for certain that people are here 24-7.
There have been any odd occurrences
that you've heard of?Yes.
When I first moved to Sedona, the first story that I heard
about Bradshaw was of a Forestry Service ranger.
He knows this land inside--
He knew it inside out.
There's no reason for him to disappear,
but that's, in fact, what happened.
He came out here, probably to check on something,
and never returned.
And they never found him.They never found him.
What about military presence?
Have people seen any type of military presence here?
Yes.
When I was with my boyfriend at the time,
we just did a roundabout thing,
and we didn't even go through the front.
We went through the back and got on to the property,
and we were accosted by, like, three or four,
I can't remember exactly, military...
I don't really know for sure if they were military
because they actually had white on.
White? Yeah.
Did they order you off, or did they tell you to go?
They asked us what we were doing there, basically,
and, you know, hiking.
And they told us,
"No, you need to turn around and head back."
They didn't say why?Nope, wouldn't tell us.
No reason at all. You didn't ask?
No, they had the big...
ARs? Like an AR-15 or...?
I'm not familiar with the names of them,
but I know that it was just big gun.
I mean, why would they be out here with guns?
I know.
I couldn't tell you.
What puzzles me is, why here?
Why this ranch?
Why the security cameras?
Why is this closed off?
You're amongst a lot of us
that would like to have that answer.
So who are they monitoring by the camera?
Us or something inside the ranch?
I think it's both.
LINA: What was that? The windmill?
But the windmill is over here.
I thought the windmill was over there.
Sounds like a fence being opened or something.
It sure sounded like something metallic moving.
♪♪
I'm sorry, guys. I just saw something over there.
What'd you see?
It looked like a dark shadow
flying through the trees and then down.
♪♪
LINA: What was that?
I'm sorry, guys. I just saw something over there.
HEATHER: What'd you see?
It looked like a dark shadow
flying through the trees and then down.
And you saw it just right through there?
Just right between these two trees in the back
towards the mountain with the snow on it.
♪♪
Oh, my gosh.
Lina, where is the entrance to the ranch?
Like, is there a gate or something?
Yes, it's actually
just to the right of where we came in.
I want to go see where that sound came from.
I'm really curious.
♪♪
Can we get through this way?
Oh, there's a fence.
♪♪
I just want to rattle this real quick
and see if that could've been the sound.
I don't know.
I can't re-create that sound, and I want to know what it was.
I want to know what that sound was.
It could've been something inside, too.
♪♪
That's weird.
It looks like there's a camera facing the ground.
I don't understand why they would have a camera
facing the ground.
That's kind of weird.
Let me see what's this way.
Oh, yeah, there's another fence.
I don't see any cameras here.
I see a sign that says, "Closed to public use."
This gate is locked,
but I think this could be where the sound is coming from.
♪♪
I really think that sound was someone going through this gate,
but we didn't see anybody pass by here.
It's like somebody opened the gate and just disappeared.
Yeah, it's really...
It's really odd because no one else is down here.
Our whole crew was up there.
♪♪
We're back.
Were you able to find out what made the noise?
I found the one fence here, so I rattled it a little bit.
I think the sound we heard was someone opening the gate,
and that's the entrance into the ranch.
I noticed they had a camera pointing to the ground.
CHUCK: It really feels like whatever is going on out here,
the government wants to keep it as a secret.
One thing I can't understand is why that camera
is facing the ground.
Why aren't they facing, like, the entrance, you know,
to look for violators?
No, they're pointed in another direction.
Doesn't makes sense.
HEATHER: Do you guys see that light above the mountain there?
That could be...a star that just popped up.
Pretty bright.
LINA: Yeah, it is.
Wait, did you see... Wait, the light is gone.
Yeah, that light is gone.
Holy [bleep]
Where'd it go?
It's gone. I was watching it.
I looked down for one second, and I looked back up,
and it was gone.
Oh, my gosh.
They know we're here.
♪♪
That was some good activity to end the night.
I want to know what that light was.
That's a good question.
NARRATOR: After a night of unexplained noises
and strange lights in the sky
over Bradshaw Ranch, Chuck and Heather rendezvous with Dan.
CHUCK: What did you see up in the mountain?
DAN: Found some caves.
I saw one big opening that was probably
about 2 or 3 miles away from where I was.
I couldn't get to it.
It looked pretty big.
It looked like you can fly an airplane into it.
Did you see anything that could've explained --
You know, we did that sky watch,
and we saw that light right over where you went up today.
Yeah, there was no lights.
There was no houses.
There was no electricity anywhere
running into that whole area, so those lights that we saw,
I don't know where they came from.
Well, at the ranch, we saw something we couldn't explain.
We saw a light.
It lingered there so bright,
brighter than anything, and it just disappeared.
What do you mean disappeared?
It disappeared.It just went out.
Alright. Look at this.
See it move?
It's gone. - Oh, my God.
- When was that? - It just disappeared.
That is what we call a UFO there, guys.
This type of activity
is exactly what people have been seeing
at the Bradshaw Ranch.
The Native Americans have been talking
about this type of phenomena for centuries,
so it's nothing new.
We just happen to be at the right place at the right time
and captured it on film.
Do you guys think that this light is somehow related
to the vortexes in the area?
There are a lot of UFO sightings in this area,
and I think vortexes are a big part of it.
They're using the vortexes for something.
To me, this is why there's all the military presence
in the area, stuff like this.
It could be.
I mean, we talked to a lot of witnesses
that have seen strange vehicles,
strange planes being around this area,
like, as if they're watching over it.
I think this is one of the things
that does trigger military presence in the area.
I mean, I believe that, you know,
if the military is there, they're monitoring it.
This is stuff that's been going on for a long time.
It's consistent,
and we captured part of it on camera.
Good job, guys.
Yeah, there was a lot of stuff on this one.We did really good.
This was a really good investigation,
and I believe this is one
we're gonna have to come back to.
Yeah.
NARRATOR: Does the amount of UFO activity in Sedona
indicate that the city might be a gateway
for interdimensional alien craft?
And if so, will there come a time
when Earth becomes more
than just an intergalactic truck stop on their travels
and instead, a final destination?
