00:00Ezekiel saw the wheel. This is the wheel he said he saw. These are unidentified flying
00:25objects that people say they are seeing now. Are they proof that we are being visited
00:31by civilizations from other stars? Or just what are they? The United States Air Force
00:39began an investigation of this high strangeness in a search for the truth. What you are about
00:45to see is part of that 20 year search.

02:45How did you ever find this place?
02:55It's one of my favorite places to hide.
02:57Yeah, and if anything should go wrong with the car, we've got a two-mile walk back to
03:01civilization.
03:02That's what I like about you, Ellie.
03:04You're all romance.
03:05Hey, you guys.
03:06It's getting late, huh?
03:07We just got here.
03:08We just got here.
03:38You guys are gathered?
04:08I'm Lieutenant Carmichael, public information officer.
04:11Lieutenant, Sergeant Fitz.
04:12How are you, Lieutenant?
04:13Sergeant.
04:14Welcome to Collins Air Force Base, gentlemen.
04:16I've arranged quarters for you.
04:18After lunch, I'd be happy to brief you on the sighting.
04:20Thanks, Lieutenant.
04:21It's a little early for lunch.
04:23I want to get out to the forest city as soon as possible.
04:25Check out the sight.
04:26I understand, sir.
04:27You can change right here in the hangar, the ready room, and I'll draw a car from the motor
04:31pool.
04:32Very good.
04:33Is the area been secured, sir?
04:34Right, Sergeant.
04:35The local police had a dozen men out there within a couple hours after the report.
04:39How far to Forest City?
04:41It's about a hundred miles, but it's thruway driving, so it shouldn't take you more than
04:45two hours.
04:46We want to stop by the high school and talk to the students who made out the report before
04:49we get the sighting.
04:50Well, you know, sir, I think you may be wasting your time on this thing.
04:54Why do you say that?
04:55Well, you know how teenagers are.
04:56Maybe they got bored, thought they'd stir up a little excitement.
05:00And you think it might be a hoax, sir?
05:02Well, it looks that way to me.
05:04But you're from Blue Book.
05:06You're the experts.
05:07We'll run it down.
05:14Sometimes when kids have too much money, too much time on their hands, life can be very
05:20unchallenging.
05:22And that's where the trouble begins.
05:25About a year ago, we found our vice principal's compact car in the second floor chemistry
05:31lab.
05:32A couple of months ago, some adventuresome clowns, I call them, released a bunch of small
05:37hot air balloons with baskets filled with red paint.
05:41It took weeks to clean that up.
05:44And now this.
05:45In other words, you don't believe these young people saw anything.
05:48You know, I get a feeling that you're building up a case for these boys.
05:53Do you really believe that they saw a flying saucer?
05:59Come in.
06:00It's probably the boys now.
06:04Boys, this is Major Gatlin, Sergeant Fitz.
06:07Hello, fellas.
06:08How you doing?
06:09Here with Project Blue Book.
06:11This is Jerry Daniels and Clay Munson.
06:16Now, boys, you'll recall our last conversation in this matter?
06:19Yes, sir.
06:20The major's going to ask you some questions.
06:22And how you answer them will not only reflect upon you, but upon your school and your parents
06:28as well.
06:29Do I make myself clear?
06:30Yes, sir.
06:31Yes, sir.
06:32Mr. Mathis, before we start, we'd like to see the area beside him.
06:35And it would be helpful if the fellas could go along with us.
06:38Could you arrange that for us?
06:39Well, class will be over in a few minutes anyway.
06:42I suppose it'll be all right.
06:44Thank you for your time, sir.
06:45Pleasure meeting you.
06:46Major.
06:47I just don't know what you expect to find at this so-called landing site.
06:51Simple, Mr. Mathis.
06:52What really happened out there.
06:59I don't know about you all.
07:00I'm as hungry as a bear.
07:07Good day, gentlemen.
07:08Hi.
07:09Hi.
07:11Thanks.
07:12What would you like?
07:14I'll have a hamburger and chocolate, Mom.
07:16Me too.
07:18Hamburger and a cup of coffee, please.
07:20Burger's fine, and I'd like a double vanilla malt.
07:24Would you like regular, super, or super colossal burgers?
07:28Super colossal's fine.
07:30You must be hungry as a bear.
07:34Tell us about your sighting.
07:39How come you're using tape recorders, Sergeant?
07:41It's for our use only.
07:43To make sure we get it all down in your words, the way it happened.
07:47Oh.
07:48If you'd rather, we won't use it.
07:50I'll take notes.
07:52No, that's okay with me.
07:54All right, tell us what you saw last Friday night.
07:56Or first of all, tell us where it happened.
07:58Well, I know it's gonna sound pretty dumb.
08:00I mean, it's so crazy, I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't been there.
08:04Don't worry about it.
08:05Just tell us in your own words.
08:07Okay.
08:09There's this little dirt road I found off Highway 20.
08:12Goes through Parker Woods.
08:14Nobody ever uses it.
08:16I figured it'd be better than Mill Road.
08:18That's where all the kids go.
08:20It's more private, you know what I mean?
08:23Well, Clay and I went there last Friday night with Marcy and Ellie.
08:26I guess it was about 11.30.
08:29We had just parked when we saw this bright, reddish-orange light.
08:34Ah!
08:40What is that?
08:44That noise is awful.
08:45Derek, please, let's get out of here.
08:48Wait a minute.
08:49What for? Let's go!
08:51Hey, Clay, do you believe what we're seeing?
08:54What do you think it is?
08:59I think it's a flying saucer.
09:01Derek, please, let's go! Let's go!
09:03Are you kidding?
09:04This is the chance of a lifetime.
09:06Come on, you guys.
09:07It can't be more than a couple hundred yards from here.
09:09Derek, wait a minute.
09:10I'm not leaving this car.
09:11Me neither.
09:12Okay, well, girls, wait here.
09:15Derek, would you lock the car, please?
09:17The kids are in there.
09:18Wait, they have to just take off, okay?
09:32Oh, my God.
09:42This is crazy.
09:43This is crazy.
09:59It really is a flying saucer.
10:01Of course it is.
10:04Have you ever seen anything like it in your life?
10:13Oh, my God.
10:39Do you think it's some kind of a code?
10:41I don't know.
10:42Maybe they're trying to signal somebody.
10:45Who?
10:48Maybe they know we're here.
10:50Maybe they can tell.
10:52Why would they want to signal us?
10:56I don't know.
11:03Come on, let's get back to the car.
11:05Wait a minute.
11:06See what happens.
11:09I don't want to wait.
11:10I don't want to see what happens, because it might happen to us.
11:14Come on, let's go, Jerry.
11:15Wait.
11:17Let me think a minute.
11:26Do you notice something?
11:28What?
11:30The crickets.
11:32They've stopped.
11:34Yeah.
11:36I don't hear anything.
11:40Come on.
11:41What do you say we get closer and get a better look?
11:55What do we do now?
11:56They know we're here.
11:57Let's make a run for it.
11:59This is getting scary.
12:00They might shoot at us.
12:01We don't have any choice.
12:02If we stay here, they're bound to get us.
12:04Come on, let's go.

24:11I figured the send somebody out here sooner or later.
24:13Glad you're here.
24:14Peter?
24:15here still have a lot of talent is very fit how are you good are you. Well you've seen
24:21the pictures just what you think very very interesting come on guys that's a flying
24:28saucer if you've ever seen one the reporter over the poor city outlook said those pictures
24:33ought to be in every paper in the country I'm sure they will when he releases them to
24:36the wire service you mean he hasn't released it yet no so not yet we ask him to hold up
24:41I don't understand why you did that in fact I'm not sure you have the authority to do
24:46that am I right would you mind telling us exactly how you happen to take these pictures
24:51oh I get it you think I faked them no sir we didn't say that but we would like to determine
24:55the validity of photographs. Sure I can do that. I got nothing to hide. It was last Friday
25:05night I was up at Crystal Lake duck hunting got there about 4 a.m. anyway on the way
25:11back and decided to take a shortcut highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along
25:48the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg
25:54borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway
26:0020 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders
26:04right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway 20 through
26:09Whitesburg borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along
26:13the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg
26:19borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway

26:29along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg
26:34borders right along the highway 20 through Whitesburg borders right along the highway
26:40ï
26:58Funny thing is though, I wasn't scared. Not during the time I was there. I just had
27:04I just had to get a picture of it, that's all.
27:07But then after it left, my hands started shaking.
27:10It was quite an experience, let me tell you.
27:12Do you usually keep a camera in your glove compartment, Mr. Hadley?
27:17You people are downright non-believers, aren't you?
27:20Yes, I usually carry a camera with me because like millions of other people,
27:24I enjoy taking pictures.
27:26How is it that these are black and white photos?
27:28I thought not everybody used color these days.
27:31Well, I'm experimenting with sunrises right now,
27:34and black and white film happens to be quicker than color,
27:36so that's what I use for the effect I want to get.
27:39Do you have the negatives?
27:41Yes, I have the negatives.
27:42Would it be all right if we borrowed them?
27:45What for? You got the prints right there.
27:47Yes, but we like to send the negatives to our laboratory at Wright-Patterson for analysis.
27:53I'll get them for you.
27:54I'd like to borrow the camera too, if we can, Mr. Hadley.
27:57That's in the front glove compartment.
27:59Do me one favor, will you?
28:00Keep the lens cap on it.
28:02That's a brand new German lens and it's very expensive,
28:05and I don't want it scratched, okay?
28:07Yes, sir.
28:10I'll get the negatives.
28:11Thanks. We'll get these back to you as soon as possible.
28:31And when you do, Major, I think an apology would go along with it,
28:34a very large apology, because you really make a guy feel like a criminal.
28:39Look, Mr. Hadley, if these negatives check out,
28:42they might prove more useful in more ways than you know.
28:45What if they don't?
28:46Then no apology is necessary, is it?
29:10Major, can I speak to you for a minute?
29:14I was wondering if you got any results back from your lab.
29:17Not yet. We expect to hear something by tomorrow.
29:22How long have you fellows been working on this job, investigating UFOs?
29:26A handful of years.
29:27As you probably had a look at a few hundred cases, huh?
29:31Is this one a hoax?
29:33What's your gut feeling about it?
29:35One thing about gut feelings, Lieutenant,
29:38sometimes they turn out to be just gas.
29:41Yeah, well, I was asking this for a reason, though, Major.
29:44I'm getting a lot of pressure from downtown.
29:46They wanted a rest made in this case.
29:48Those two boys, Jerry and Clay.
29:51Why? For what reason?
29:53Well, because the people in this community are getting a little fed up with teenage pranks,
29:56and I can't say that I blame them.
29:58It's very aggravating and very expensive,
29:59and it keeps the police department from being able to work on other more important cases.
30:04But we don't know that what we're dealing with is a prank.
30:07Yeah, but we don't know that it isn't.
30:10I'm sorry, I'm afraid we're going to have to make a stand in this case.
30:13The people here just want to make an example of those two boys.
30:16Well, it's your story, Lieutenant.
30:18Just make sure you're not doing the right thing for the wrong reason.
30:26Boys, I have patiently listened to your story.
30:30I find it totally incomprehensible.
30:34Jerry, you've been here before.
30:36I let you off with a reprimand.
30:39I can only assume that you chose to ignore it.
30:42This time, I want you both to be aware that we will no longer tolerate these juvenile antics.
30:47What we do here today will set an example for the other young people of this community
30:52as to what they can expect if they persist in creating this malicious mischief.
30:57This court fines each of you $15
31:00and sentences you to four weekends of cleanup work in Parker Woods,
31:05where you chose to create this grand deception.
31:12Your Honor, may I approach the bench?
31:24State your name and your interest.
31:25Jay Caplan, Major, United States Air Force.
31:28I'm here on government business.
31:30Proceed, Major.
31:31Thank you, Your Honor.
31:32Sergeant Fitz and I have been investigating circumstances surrounding this case.
31:36As of this point in time, we've been unable to make any determination
31:39as to the validity or non-validity of the reported sighting of an unidentified flying object.
31:45We respectfully petition that the court delay execution of the sentence
31:48until our laboratories have the opportunity to fully analyze all the evidence
31:53and further not to disturb certain designated areas in Parker Woods.
31:57Major, are you telling this court that there is a possibility
32:00that a flying saucer actually landed in Parker Woods?
32:04All we're saying, sir, is that it's premature to label the sighting a hoax.
32:10I see.
32:12How much time would you need?
32:14At least 48 hours, Your Honor.
32:17All right, Major.
32:18The United States Air Force is hereby granted 48 hours from this date.
32:25Execution of this sentence will be delayed until Thursday, November 21, at 4 p.m.
32:33This court is recessed until 2 o'clock.
32:37Major Gatlin.
32:39Thanks a lot.
32:40Don't thank us.
32:41You've got to reprieve, not pardon.
32:42Yeah, well, we know that, but we want to thank you anyway.
32:45Okay.
32:47Major Gatlin, we represent the Forest City High School Science Club.
32:51I wonder if we could talk to you for a minute?
32:53Sure, go ahead.
32:54We think that Jerry and Clay are getting a rough deal.
32:57We really believe they did see something, that it wasn't a prank, you know?
33:00Go on.
33:01Well, what we'd like to do is conduct our own investigation of the landing site.
33:05Maybe we could help Clay and Jerry.
33:06As it stands now, the police won't even let us in the area.
33:09I'm afraid we can't.
33:10I'm afraid we can't.
33:12Maybe we could help Clay and Jerry.
33:14As it stands now, the police won't even let us in the area.
33:17We appreciate you wanting to help, but we're trying to preserve that location out there in case we have to double back.
33:21Well, if there's anything we can do, we'd be glad to help.
33:24Thanks.
33:24We'll keep that in mind.
33:26Oh, one more thing, Major.
33:28When you do reach a conclusion on Clay and Jerry's UFO sighting,
33:31could you come to the school and tell our science club?
33:33Would that be possible, sir?
33:35We'll try, if we have the time.
33:38You do know why, don't you?
33:39No, why?
33:41Because we know that Jerry and Clay aren't lying.
33:43And we want the whole school to know.
33:46Thank you, sir.
34:03Can you remember when you were that young?
34:05Yes, sir, sure do.
34:07Hadn't been that long ago.
34:09Well, we did things a little different six miles when we took a girl out on a date.
34:12How was that?
34:14We parked in the peach orchards.
34:16That way, if things got kind of dull, there was always something to eat.
34:20You were right about that soil out there, sir.
34:41It tested highly granular.
34:43And the weight box proves out.
34:44The lab figures 27,300 pounds.
34:47No sign of radiation in the area.
34:51You come across the report on that broken tree out there, sir?
34:54No. You got it, Jerry?
34:56Yes, sir, I do.
34:57Anything?
34:58Yes, sir. Seems I made a mistake when I whiffed that bark out there.
35:02You did?
35:02Yes, sir. Seems that wasn't a sassafras tree.
35:06What was it?
35:07Pecans, sir.
35:09But they're long-grained and brittle.
35:11They break the same way, sir.
35:13Obviously.
35:14That's correct.
35:16You want to know what the trouble was?
35:17You can't smell tree bark.
35:19No, sir.
35:21I had a slight cold, and I didn't know it at the time.
35:24Okay.
35:25Did you see this yet?
35:27What's that, sir?
35:29Listen.
35:30The Parker Woods glass sample, under analysis, proved to be an example of very primitive glass, unlike the type manufactured today.
35:37This type of material cannot be factored from known elements utilized in the making of glass as we know it in this century.
35:43It defies analysis comparison to present-day technologies, suggests re-examination of site to determine beyond reasonable doubt.
35:50This substance could not be propulsion residue.
35:53A machine that's propelled by glass?
35:55Or one that leaves behind a by-product of crude glass.
36:01Sir, is it possible that we might be the first to find out what we've all been looking for?
36:06Positive physical evidence?
36:12Do you want to know the truth?
36:14Yes, sir.
36:16I don't know.
36:28Sergeant.
36:29Strandman?
36:30I appreciate you calling me, Major.
36:31We're about to leave for Hadley's Place.
36:33I thought you might like to go along.
36:34Oh, thank you. I would.
36:36What's your opinion?
36:38Do I send those photos to the wire services?
36:40We'll let you be the judge.
37:03You got a fast lab in the Air Force?
37:07Hey, Hamlin, how are you?
37:10Hey, turn that off. Good jazz, huh?
37:12Yes, sir.
37:13Excuse me, sir. I left your camera out in the car.
37:16Okay. Well, I've already gotten two calls from New York papers just from the Outlook story.
37:21They're pretty anxious back there to print my pictures.
37:24They may still want to.
37:25What do you mean, still want to?
37:27Let's go over a few things, Mr. Hadley.
37:29What kind of things?
37:32Oh, I get it.
37:34You probably want to bury those pictures in your files.
37:37You don't want to create a panic.
37:39That's it, isn't it?
37:40I hear the Air Force has got a ton of stuff like this that they just don't dare release.
37:45You're closer to being right about that than you know.
37:49Let us show you something. Let's take a look at this first picture.
37:52You know, sir, this is a very good picture of the saucer since there is no point of reference.
37:57Nothing to compare the object with.
37:59You know, to determine its size.
38:01Notice anything strange in this photo, Mr. Hadley?
38:03Right there. You know what that is?
38:04It looks like an imperfection in the negative to me.
38:07Yes, sir. You're right about that.
38:10Let's look at this next photo.
38:12This is a blow-up of the imperfection, as you call it.
38:15This picture represents a magnification blow-up.
38:17What you see there is really not an imperfection, but rather one of God's creative perfections.
38:21A sycamore leaf.
38:23Well, I don't know how in the world that could have got in the negative.
38:26We do, sir. You put it there.
38:28Now, let's look at this last photo.
38:30We dug into this particular negative with a system that we refer to as dense overlay filtration.
38:36I never heard of that.
38:37No, sir, but the military has.
38:39Comes in handy for locating military troop concentrations at night.
38:43Take a look, sir.
38:45What you see there is really a clear indication of a strand of monofilament used to suspend the flying saucer.
38:52That, coupled with the sycamore leaf, which gives us positive scale, tells us exactly what your UFO was and is.
38:58We don't know for sure what kind of rig you used, but it could have been a stepladder or a tall, inverted L scaffold.
39:13And this, sir, is your flying saucer.
39:19And you do have a sycamore tree outside your garage here.
39:24Tell me, why, Hadley?
39:27Why?
39:28Because I love kids, and my wife and I can't have any, and she doesn't want to adopt any.
39:36When a kid gets in trouble, I care.
39:41Those two boys who were involved in the sighting, Jerry Daniels, Clay Munson, you were trying to help them?
39:50I guess the Irish put it best.
39:52Just the great fool of the world I am.
39:56I'm glad I caught up with you.
40:25I've got something important.
40:26I don't know where you are in that sighting investigation, but I thought I overheard you say something about glass out there at Parker Woods the other day.
40:32Am I right?
40:33Yes, sir.
40:33The blue-colored material around the large depression out there.
40:36I thought so.
40:38Well, I don't know what this means, but I'm going to turn this over to you, for whatever it's worth.
40:42What you got, Lieutenant?
40:43I was talking to my father the other night.
40:45He's in his seventies, and he's kind of a Forest City historical buff.
40:50Well, he's the one that put me onto this.
40:53So I went down to the city planning office, and I pulled a copy of this plant for you, because this is proof, if you need it.
41:01Proof of what?
41:02Of the existence of a factory that stood on almost exactly the same spot where that UFO is supposed to have landed.
41:08They closed that plant down in 1896.
41:14Tell us it was a glass factory.
41:17How'd you guess?
41:30We have the final results of the tests from our lab at Wright-Patterson, and we've been asked to share those results with you.
41:37Mr. Mathis was generous enough to provide us with the time.
41:41Sergeant Pitts?
41:42The three smaller indentations, the so-called landing pod impressions, were certain that no tool created those depressions.
41:49The penetrometer and soil compaction analysis indicates an object of over 27,000 pounds rested there, or something that could possibly simulate that weight.
42:00Based on our experience and the evidence at hand, it's our opinion that this incident is not a hoax.
42:07Oh, great.
42:10And we've already notified Judge Friedlander of the facts.
42:13Am I to understand that these boys actually saw a UFO, and that you Air Force people believe that something from outer space actually landed in those woods?
42:24Let me clarify that, sir.
42:26We believe that Jerry and Clay did not manufacture the evidence that was found.
42:31We believe they did see something.
42:34We do not know exactly what.
42:35Major Gatlin, what about the broken tree, the soil depressions, and the blue glass?
42:41Now, wouldn't that be considered evidence?
42:42Proof?
42:44You're partially right.
42:45Those elements do exist, but we cannot prove what caused them, and we cannot disprove their existence.
42:51In what category would the Air Force put this particular sighting, Major?
42:56It will be officially listed as an unknown.
42:58Do you want me to drive?
43:07No, sir. You do the flying, I'll do the driving.
43:10Always like my engineer well-rested and relaxed when we take to the track.
43:28Well, they're gone.
43:47They're gone.
43:52You don't think we should have told them?
43:57Nope.
44:00Something I'll never forget.
44:04Will you?
44:07Nope.
45:26Come on, let's go, Jerry.
45:31What do we do now?
45:32They know we're here.
45:34Let's make a run for it.
45:35We should be near their shooting ground.
45:37Come on.
46:37And we shouldn't have told them?
47:04Nope.
47:07Why?
47:11What's the game?
47:14They wouldn't believe.
47:16Us.
