Secrets of the UFOs | Full Documentary | 7NEWS Spotlight

this story will challenge your understanding of reality i've never had this conversation publicly literally a game changer the mainstream media wouldn't touch it we are at a turning point in human history people's right to know there is a real phenomenon here there's no question about that it's the biggest story ever really isn't it it is it absolutely is there's no there's no doubt about that [Music] good evening and welcome to this special edition of spotlight with breaking news from the stars tonight we bring you critical new witnesses and revelations in our ongoing investigation into the ufo phenomenon and we'll reveal startling information about an australian cover-up sanctioned by the highest levels of government shortly i'll be joined by investigative journalist ross coulthard who for the past three years has traversed this planet in a search for evidence of life on others what he's about to reveal will stun even the sternest of skeptics this is a very real phenomenon this is coming directly from the pentagon this nut of this earth we have no idea it's intent you know it was absolutely mind-blowing you don't know where these things are coming from we are well beyond reasonable doubt high-level officials are acknowledging this they are focused on our nuclear weapons highly trained observers i was stunned to my core fighter pilots circular radar damage so extraordinary iranian ufos at the same time at the same place choo-choo the object knew where they were going i want to know the truth ross this is real really good to have you here ross you're just published book and documentary they've been watched and read millions of times huge interest how do you describe that interest what is it well it's one of the biggest questions are we alone in this universe and what's happened is the united states government has come out publicly now officially and admitted that there is a possibility that the explanation for the phenomenon that they acknowledge now is real the possibility that that explanation is extraterrestrial as recently as last week in washington the director of national intelligence conceded the possibility that this was extraterrestrial phenomena have you unearthed new leads ah the the number of calls that i've had particularly from people in australian and overseas military intelligence is phenomenal extraordinary things about sightings mainly linked with nuclear facilities like pine gap in australia north west cape in far western australia so every day you wake up and you are intrigued with the emails and the contacts you're receiving absolutely and i think the days where this needs to be stigmatized and ridiculed a long over because the americans have now conceded this is real let's pause for a moment i want to look back at some of the revelations in your initial documentary [Music] [Applause] [Music] is this is weird what is it we all know sir we're at a really interesting time in history here where i think for the first time since world war ii the u.s military is actually quite openly admitting that there's a mystery it can't explain what we know is that there's a a uap task force an unidentified aerial phenomena task force which quite incredibly has been operating in secret inside the pentagon apparently for years investigating the phenomena of ufos flying sources strange craft in our skies [Applause] we may be looking at a situation where we've got to consider the possibility of intelligent non-human life for the first time on this planet we have the sensing apparatus to detect objects and as we found with the recent dod videos we are detecting objects and they are highly anomalous in nature and they're not any known human technology that we know of we see this hyper acceleration with complete absence of a sonic boom we see the objects have the ability to hover and then rapidly accelerate in the blink of an eye we used to hear these stories within ufo circles by ufo nutters but we're hearing this from credible senior level government and military officials that are all basically telling us the same story and to what end why would they lie so who are the officials that you attach most credibility to by reputation who you think have said interesting things in recent months uh i would have to say uh chris mellon so let's go through it very carefully are these objects intelligently controlled some of them clearly area could they be russian chinese or any other conceivably we're entertaining that possibility sure what do you think the problem with that is that in some cases the performance of these these vehicles is so extraordinary it's so radical that we don't understand how it's possible even and so it's difficult for us to imagine how our terrestrial rivals could could master that kind of technology [Music] in april last year here at the pentagon the u.s department of defense made an unprecedented admission it acknowledged that the videos taken by their fighter pilots of unidentified objects are real [Music] so if they're not ours if they're probably not russian or chinese or any other potential adversaries does that mean they're alien i think that we have to entertain that possibility now you realize that is just mind-blowing in its obesity the implications of that are extraordinary we're talking about the possibility of alien life visiting this planet it is and uh it is mind-boggling it's hard to process it's hard to digest and yet as a matter of integrity scientific integrity we have to be able to to look at the facts and follow them wherever they lead [Music] when we look at decades-long denials on the part of the u.s government and military forces with regard to ufos they denied they denied they denied [Music] then in december 2017 everything changed one of the world's greatest newspapers the new york times revealed the existence of a pentagon unit secretly investigating ufos and even more extraordinary it had the videos to prove it he saw this white oblong object which he said looked like a tic-tac kind of zig-zagging around over the surface of the water what were the primary revelations in that story that made people probably for the first time sit up and say wow ufos are real well i think there were two the first revelation was that there was a secret program within the pentagon that had started in 2007 that had been studying these objects so this had been for 10 years secretly being studied now you don't have a program studying ufos if there's nothing to them the second revelation was the nimitz case that happened in 2004 there's a lot more to that case than we were able to report but we got that case out there in the public we were going to do high fidelity air defense training we launched the good guys off the nimitz watch the emotional bad guys off the beach and they go at it comes down to comment hey sir um you know we've been tracking these objects for days now if we launch aircraft and we hit one of these someone's gonna ask you and me both why we were so damn and curious it's a very persuasive argument what did the captain say he looks at me sterling you're right senior chief intercepting vid visually ideate and commander fravor happened to be airborne top gun train guy and as he began to close the gap the tic tac recognized and began to react to his movement it sees him and he recognizes as a fighter pilot that it's engaging with him and so he's spiraling down like this it's coming up to him and he's in a dog fight and he screams up to his colleagues i'm engaged [Music] so it's intelligently responding it is absolutely intelligent responding to his actions that's very important it is yeah it's not a dumb object correct and it began to take evasive maneuvers to counter and maintain distance between his aircraft that was closing in by the way and f-18 at the time super hornet one of the most premier aircraft on the planet at the time and this thing had no problem keeping pace you're seeing whatever this object was yeah i've seen it on radar so you're picking it up on radar i've seen him do the intercept and as soon as he's at the merge plot that object went from 28 000 feet to the surface of the ocean in 0.78 seconds and then all of a sudden bam it's gone bing disappears instantaneously [Music] the accelerations that were observed would destroy five or ten times over any craft that we can design or build today no visible propulsion system no visible propulsion no obvious signs of lift no wings no rudders no control surfaces no ailerons no elevators no cockpit no rivets all right ross since then a lot has happened there's been quite a few developments what's been the most significant development the biggest thing is that the congress is now taking this seriously they're demanding reports from all of the intelligence agencies from the defense departments on the phenomena the demanding transparency there's even a request in a new amendment that's very likely now to go through for any disclosures to be made of recovered craft and even organic matter bodies believe it or not this is being seriously discussed in the congress those videos from america they have changed the game they have the new york times when those videos were published four years ago this year in december they changed everything it was a totally new paradigm especially when the united states government was forced to admit that it couldn't explain the phenomena and mike there are so many more videos there are 144 sightings that were investigated by the united states pentagon ufo investigators and literally all of them except for one couldn't be explained and i've been told the videos in them are incredible identifiable metallic silvery objects disc shaped craft clearly visible flying within 50 meters of a jet fighter but ross the biggest mystery centers around a mass sighting in suburban melbourne that's right it's the biggest mass sighting in the world hundreds of melbourne school children along with their teachers witnessing an event so strange and implausible it would change them for life officially the dazzling silver ufo seen hovering above the school oval that april day in 1966 never existed but for those who were there it was real terrifyingly real ross westall appears to be exciting on such a grand scale that it can't be denied yet it has been it has been and in fact the real situation is the government's basically ignored it even though these people 180 to 200 plus people have said they saw these elliptical disc shaped objects hovering over a school in broad daylight 55 years ago no government official has ever provided any explanation for what happened there's one guy who's done a very thorough investigation tracking down those witnesses his name is shane ryan this is his story [Music] i've spent far too long going through national archives documents but they represent a fascinating counterfactual history to the history that we've been presented in public by our defence department for the last 50 to 60 years [Music] the australian government holds thousands of ufo sightings reports going back decades many of them once classified secret or top secret [Music] and it might surprise a lot of people to know just how seriously those sightings were taken by military investigators even though some of those sightings describe crazy things like hovering craft flying sources black triangles but there's one very secret report which i know exists because i've spoken to someone who saw it being prepared which isn't in these archives and it should be it's perhaps australia's greatest ufo mystery of all this is australia's possibly one of the world's biggest ufo mysteries isn't it it is i think it's time to put australia on the ufo map because of this incident certainly in terms of australia maybe internationally was the largest daylight mass sighting of at least one possibly up to three flying sources ufos that has ever happened [Music] melbourne in the sunny suburban swinging 60s what a time to be stuck at school westall high school a college of about 600 pupils in melbourne's south east i was a very young man in those days i was teaching i was teaching a year nine i think it was class teaching science [Music] just before morning tea the door flung open a young girl rushed in mr greenwood mr greenwood there's a flying saucer mr greenwood mr greenwood there's a flying saucer the bell went and i can remember running out into the oval looking into the sky and seeing these things and just standing there absolutely transfixed when i looked up i could see this object in the sky it was directly over the far side of the oval never seen anything like it before in my life haven't seen anything like it since trying to absorb what we were looking at because it was just something so unusual shane take me back to the 6th of april 1966 at the west hall high school what happened so on that day something very unusual something that the kids had never seen before flew into their view it flew silently it flew unexpectedly and according to the witnesses who were there it looked like a bowl turned upside down sitting on something like a plate or a saucer it was silver looking metallic looking and it flew in ways that they'd never seen an object fly before these kids were very used to aircraft morabban airport was only a few kilometers away a very busy airport but this object apart from being silent or virtually silent it flew very quickly it would stop in mid-air it would hover and then it would flick off and then flick on again on the other side of the sky it was your classic cigar-shaped object that was looked like um grey metal that's what it looked like i actually headed over to the corner of the school and jumped the fence and went into a place called the grange which is an area where we used to do our cross-country exercises and ran towards where we had seen one appear to come down and land what do you think it was i'd love to know what it was after 16 years of researching this story and talking to hundreds of witnesses literally hundreds of witnesses people who saw the object some as close as a few meters away i still don't know but i feel as though i can say what it wasn't i feel as though i can say it wasn't an aircraft it wasn't a balloon it wasn't a kite it wasn't a drone but it was something that in a way shouldn't have been there that day you actually saw one of the objects later yes well i didn't see it land but i did see it on the ground in front of me i could feel a heat and hear this buzzing sound and i could see purple lights all around it i know sooner got there and within i'd say a minute it just raised up off the ground really slowly just kept on rising to probably about three or four meters maybe a bit higher and then it turned on its side and just almost just disappeared just went straight up like that and i looked up in the sky and i could see the other two so it appeared to just disappear according to the witnesses the people who were there it left at least one some say several rather large perfectly round shaped circles in the grass with a very definite indentation a very different very definite perimeter to the grass as if the perimeter had somehow been singed or discolored what i want you all to do is to try and draw as best as you can what you saw that day um the witnesses gave descriptions that were pretty consistent you have to remember people were standing in different places at different times but for the most part they gave descriptions that tallied with each other and what did they say they saw they say they saw a flying saucer it's like um a silvery thing like this and it had like little lights around it gall lights underneath it around here around the edges it gave a lot of witnesses the sense that there was some intelligence behind it they say that because it flew effortlessly it flew virtually silently it could go wherever it wanted and for the witnesses who saw five very regular looking aircraft like cessna's flying close to the object as if it was trying to the planes were trying to chase the object and catch up to it the craft very easily completely out flew those airplanes how many witnesses have you interviewed in the 16 years that you've been researching this who actually saw the craft i think at last count because i've had a few witnesses come forward just in the last few weeks and i get new witnesses coming forward probably one every couple of months but at the moment i think i'm up to somewhere around 180. 180 people something like that a very similar number number to that and more who saw the traces that were left behind apparently by the craft on the ground what did you see um it's circular um the area like um you know the the trampled grass uh and uh there were guards around it and there were people in there with uh with equipment do you believe the witnesses i absolutely believe that what do you believe happened that day well i've spoken to so many of the witnesses over these years and they're very ordinary people who tell a extraordinary story at no particular gain to themselves and often at some cost to themselves because people often don't believe other people when they tell extraordinary stories let's talk about that there's been a lot of ridicule hasn't there directed at the whole issue of flying sources ufos generally is it deserved in the west or case it's absolutely undeserved within 40 minutes of um of the sighting air force and army personnel now look in their trucks they were there you saw this oh yeah yeah military turned up for sure you're very sure about that yeah definitely yeah they saw them there with lorries with land rovers they saw people getting equipment out of the vehicles equipment like metal detectors geiger counters shovels and spades and they were apparently busily inspecting the site of these ground marks we know that two separate fire brigades were called we know the civil defense organization was called we know the police attended both to the school and to the site at the grange and the military and the military for 55 years tanya vasi who was 12 at the time has been afraid to speak publicly about what she saw that day afraid because she was warned off soon you'll hear from her but first let's look at the extreme steps taken by sinister figures to shut the news down and shut eyewitnesses up what do you say to the fact that officially there is no government report into this matter well they because they buried it you know they hit it two weeks later knock on the door and when i answered it there were two people there one in plain clothes and then the other one senior air force obviously senior had a good many rings on his sleeve and they told me that i was wrong but i hadn't seen anything and when i tried to explain to them that they weren't there i was and i knew what i saw and well i think the first suggestion was um you'd be ill advised to go on saying that because clearly you were drunk on duty and that will have to be reported to the education department and of course you'll lose your job they were threatening oh absolutely i was threatened you're describing officials from our government hmm trying to gag you from telling the truth about what you saw which is quite interesting when you realized that uh officials from another government um 12 months later begged me to to speak about it the office of the president um saying let's be clear here this is the president of the united states yes the president of the united states president of the united states the president had authorized the establishment of a a board of inquiry or an inquiry to inquire into issues of unidentified flying objects and that they were sending out somebody um who i believe turned out to be um i think it might have been a professor james mcdonald james mcdonald that's the one officially he was working for the us navy but in his spare time he's checking many australian reports of view phase and comparing them with american reports his aim is to see if the reports tally in short whether ufos constitute a global phenomenon in melbourne he's talking with brian king listen donald what have you found here that's been of use to you i've investigated about 50 or 60 cases since i came down to new zealand and australia extremely interesting ufo sightings essentially similar to those in the united states what are the main similarities persons of really quite high credibility reporting unconventional objects discs cigar-shaped objects frequently at very low elevation hovering over sometimes urban areas sometimes over cars following cars i met this professor mcdonald basically we did the same as i'm doing with you now just went through the story and did he treat you respectfully oh absolutely absolutely there is a recording of the interview you saw there was a hovering motionless when you saw well it did several things it did hover at different times it seemed to be able to accelerate and disappear out of sight and then someone see it over in another part of the sky to move considerable distance very rapidly and then move back again my recollection is that it was very much he asked some prompting questions uh and that's all it was basically for me to speak and why would they disappear well this is one thing we just don't know if gender looking at it no it did one of these you know excellent accelerations and nobody can pick it up again there clearly is a report somewhere you think there was a cover-up i think there was a cover-up of sorts i'd love to know why there was such pressure applied to some of the witnesses to keep the story under wraps but for someone at some level in government they didn't want this story to get out this is the largest group sighting of a ufo the largest one in the southern hemisphere and it's got a whole credibility because it's not as if just one person saw it there were over 200 people saw it what official explanation if any has ever been given by the government or any agency to explain what happened at westall there's never been any i mean the silence is definite isn't it it's deafening and it's perplexing and very very frustrating it was something incredibly unusual unexpected that came from somewhere else and i don't know where that somewhere else is and it happened here in australia in australia's second largest city in the suburban outskirts of that city in broad road daylight in front of hundreds [Music] joining ross and i now is former westall student tanya vasi you've never spoken before about this this is the first time you were one of the first to see that ufo hovering that day what did you see i saw a shiny two-story disc it certainly wasn't anything that we'd ever seen [Music] [Music] so you had an incident that took place two days later where the headmaster came into the classroom and took you away what happened well he took me to a room which i presume was a parent teacher interview little office and there were two gentlemen waiting there and i was with them probably for about 15 minutes um being questioned did they say who they were no no what nationality were there definitely american americans yeah they didn't want me to speak of the incident to absolutely anybody and because it was in the interest of national security so we want you to keep this under your belt and not discuss it with anybody did they try and explain to you what it was yes they did um one of them actually told me that it was a very special weather balloon um did you believe that no no not eve no not at the age of 12. i i knew better i know what i saw and it was definitely not a balloon [Music] can i ask you this do you think it was something not of this world um as an adult now yes i do yes i do definitely i no longer care what people think i saw what i saw i know what i saw i was not the only one yeah ross how significant is it that the tanya is coming forward the thing that really comes home to me tanya is the fact that you corroborate that american officials were there trying to shut the story down absolutely and it suggests there really was a cover-up and it was international what is it that the australian and american government had to hide in 1966 that 55 years later we still don't know what it was it's fascinating tanya thank you so much for sharing your story with us as well [Music] just as a matter of interest what questions did you think i was going to ask i thought you're going to ask some questions about aircraft it sounds like you're going to ask questions about ufos well we could we'd be very interesting to hear your views on this [Music] you heard it there ross i mean when peter wish wilson raised this in parliament only last month of the topic of ufos i i think it's fair to say that he was met with a lot of mirth he's insisting though that this is no laughing matter why is he passionate about this because he's hearing what i'm hearing from military personnel not just in australia but all over the world they're seeing these things and whether it's being reported up the line or not i think our air force military commanders need to start taking it seriously because if as the americans have discovered this is a threat to flight safety this is a potential national security issue we need to engage with it we need to study it we need to understand it whatever it is [Music] it's concerning that we actually don't understand what these things are we don't know anything really about them at all i probably couldn't have justified asking this question at centred estimates or using the senate's resources if it hadn't been for these extraordinary revelations that we've seen in recent months including the pentagon saying this is very real i got the impression that when you asked questions about ufos uaps at senate estimates neither the air marshal nor the minister were prepared for your question no they certainly didn't appear to be around their brief um which surprised me considering uh we saw a significant report released by our close friend and ally the united states uh only four months prior to that this will certainly be having a round two it'll be interesting to see if um if their attitudes change when we ask them more questions in the future you've spoken to people i understand in our military services who've seen these objects after i left school i joined the army uh one of my lifelong friends joined the navy and we uh we hooked up nearly 20 years ago after we both got out of the services and um he just came out with this bizarre story of a close encounter he'd had while on operation and i've been intrigued ever since do you think he would be willing to speak to us look he he may be willing to speak to you but i i got a sense from him that he was almost a little bit embarrassed about his confession [Music] i remember asking him you're in the navy you're obviously out at sea surely there was technology there this thing would have been detected and other people saw it and his view was yes other people did see it but no one really wanted to talk about it well the astonishing thing michael is that we've been able to track down the person who senator wish wilson's speaking about the story he has to tell of what he saw on a navy vessel in waters around australia is quite extraordinary and this is what he saw vessel i was on was a patrol boat based out of cairns it was about two o'clock in the morning it was just myself and an officer of the watch we were in cruise control heading west clear night sky very little cloud and then all of a sudden it was a white light and it moved if you held out your hand with your index finger and your pinky directly up that's the kind of distance it moved and it moved once twice and the third time it just took off and the light was gone i've seen aircraft do maneuvers and i've seen helicopters do maneuvers this is something that's not explained definitely a ufo or something out of this world is it fair to say that what you saw must have been intelligently controlled yes it wasn't space junk hitting other space junk it was a steady white light it just didn't change i know it in my soul deep down i know okay that's unexplainable it changed me as knowing that okay we're not hit we're not maybe they're watching watching what we're doing laughing at us thinking we're ants i don't know but we're out there to intercept illegal immigrants at this stage and it made me think well if we're this small what are we doing tonight we've been exposing the secrets cover-ups and conspiracies of the ufo phenomenon before we leave you not many people know this but on the far western tip of our continent is australia's very own answer to roswell and ross you went there as part of your investigation sure did and if we are being watched from above then it may provide the answer as to why i think that something extremely anomalous and unusual is still happening up at northwest cape dear sir i hereby wish to report a most unusual [Music] you couldn't pick a more remote part of australia to locate this extremely secret military base that was doing communications with america's most dangerous nuclear submarines at the height of the cold war it's one of the last places in the country to see the light every day and one dark night 30 years ago a young australian who was living here called annie had an experience that was to change her life forever what do you see i see a craft i see a diamond shaped craft hovering literally straight above the vehicle are there lights yes there's lights on the bottom of it how big is it i would say two to three cars in length any noise nothing there wasn't a single sound coming from this within seconds it shoots up straight up in the skylight faster than you could watch it and then it comes down over here when i was doing my preliminary research when i went up there the first time i had people walk up to me at the table when i was having dinner one night and they said are you that journo that's investigating he's flying saucers and i went well not quite but i'm looking at the phenomenon he went well good because we've all seen it it was very early in the morning no one else was on the road i was completely by myself and i saw this light on top of a hill it was pure bright white light [Music] the only thing i could think of like that was if it was to do with the military i have absolute clarity of that memory it was definitely solid definitely solid an oval the size of a car forgive me why didn't you stop i think something was just telling me just to keep going and now ex-mouth is a place where it seems to occur what we saw was none of this world we are still transmitting on behalf of the americans from north west cape and what happens there is cloaked in secrecy when we tried to go there and film around the base the defense department kicked us off channel sevens out the back take photos as possibly and it's going to get lots of people's attention yeah and it's going to it's going to raise a lot of money i would prefer you left they told us that we weren't allowed to film certain aspects of the base it remains highly confidential to this day in fact i think we had to pull back to a hill which was about 10 kilometers distant is there a link between nuclear weapons do you think and these craft yes there seems to be a strong correlation between nuclear weapons nuclear storage sites and ufos no question they are focused on our nuclear weapons and you believe they're trying to send a message i do i think the message is get rid of your nuclear weapons [Music] why would these objects these craft be taking an interest in a place like harold holt naval communications station well you know these craft have shown the ability to disrupt communications and so if it came to the point where we had to use communications from that facility they could have disrupted those communications i think this is simply a message to us humans to deactivate all of our nuclear weapons and and basically go another direction and also to learn how to live with each other in peace [Music] regardless of whether you believe in aliens or not that is a fine sentiment to end on ross thank you so much for your time tonight on all of your revelations from what we have seen i have no doubt there's many more to come i'm sure there will be michael and thanks for the privilege and good night thanks so much for your company have a good night i have more questions for you let's go and talk about it sure [Music] you

Saw this like 4 months ago?

[u/draggin_balls]

This has been released in Australia, I've seen it, it was great for bringing the topic into the mainstream in a legitimate way, but not so great for people well versed in the topic

[u/Pengy403]

Let's see how well this ages

[u/jwarr02]

2h has pass what happened exactly

[u/ericprydz1]

He claims that among the 144 videos studied by the UAP task force are very clear images of metallic objects. How does he know this? What is his source? Where else has this been reported?

[u/nickstatus]

Around 11:30, when Lou is listing all the things UFO's don't have (wings, visible propulsion, control surfaces etc.), he mentions rivets. Like, did he mean to say that? Like, very specifically, he can confirm that there are no rivets on these things? Must be some pretty clean footage he's been watching.

[u/Spacebotzero]

Three hours later.....and the only shit I've seen was from my dog just now, when I was taking him on a walk.

[u/jeff0]

I just emailed Ross earlier today and got a reply a couple hours later. His reply seemed to imply that the information I had to offer him wasn't particularly useful, but he did it in such a kind way that I still feel good about it. He's a stand-up dude. I am fanboying the hell out.

[u/CaptFluffyBunny]

There was nothing new. If you read topics here regularly, you would be far ahead. Meh.
