This was just released by 7 News in Australia. I have only just started watching, but it looks really interesting so far.

From the description:

It is now beyond doubt that strange, anomalous objects filling our skies and caught on camera are the real deal. Even the Pentagon admits it’s true. These seemingly intelligently controlled craft are operating above the clouds, in our oceans and in our orbit – travelling at hypersonic speeds far beyond any known human technology and completing manoeuvres unknown to science.

The subject of conspiracy and derision for years, UFOs are now the hottest topic in Washington and the world.

Five-time Walkley Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart – who has been investigating the phenomena for the past two years – led the 7NEWS Spotlight team across the US, amassing never-before-seen compelling evidence and speaking to the key players behind an event that will change the course of history.

Featuring interviews with the highest echelons of military defence and intelligence officials, leading researchers, scientists and witnesses in America and Australia, this mind-blowing documentary years in the making seeks to answer the most fundamental question there is: are we alone?

The US director of national intelligence is expected to hand down an unclassified report next month that will change our understanding of life itself. On Spotlight, we reveal what is in that report.

7NEWS Spotlight: The UFO Phenomenon unearths startling new evidence of Australian Government cover-ups and extraordinary vision of unidentified aerial phenomena in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland – all credible and important additions to the worldwide data being accumulated by the US.

Good to watch if you've listened to any of Coulthart's recent interviews about his book. Also features Leslie Kean, David Marler and more.

Really interesting, but that old farmer at the end is clearly Norm MacDonald in costume.

Not that anyone cares, but I have a “out there” theory that I haven’t heard from others.

Here me out…

These UAPs could be remote avatar “cameras”, similar to a third person view in a video game. The “camera” is controlled by something outside the simulation that is our world, and it’s their view into what we are doing. Their cameras don’t have to observe our laws of physics and they can probably take control of individuals and influence the simulation in any way (create pandemics, wars etc). They can probably run many concurrently, restart and delete any simulation once it’s run it’s course. Maybe we are a game. Maybe we are an educational tool.

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 it's just incredible the pentagon has admitted something is in our sky an unprecedented admission so extraordinary it's engaging with him there's video of that fleet this affects the entire world this is a global phenomenon something quite incredible all governments will lie to the public the inside of the car was lit up you need to come with us 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 so extraordinary iranian ufos at the same time at the same place the object knew where they were going i want to know the truth ross this is real there was something under the water and then all of a sudden bam it's gone this is the biggest story ever are there other imagery that would blow people's socks off if they saw it absolutely [Music] [Music] [Music] is this is weird [Music] it's the biggest question of all for millennia human beings have looked up into the sky and asked the question are we alone in the universe well in a few short weeks time are reports coming in here to the congress that may provide at least the beginnings of an answer 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 to consider the possibility of intelligent non-human life for the first time on this planet ross coldheart has been on a year-long investigation along the way recording every moment every revelation in a book and on camera searching for the truth via eyewitness evidence and unimpeachable experts about a subject once ridiculed but now being taken very seriously indeed i'm fascinated by the fact that for 50 years there's been a taboo a deliberate stigma ridicule attached to the subject of ufos people kind of giggle there's a kind of a ironic smile that creeps across their face and they immediately start talking about tinfoil hats but the reality is when you dig there's a heck of a lot of evidence there to show that there's something very real at the bottom of all of this in the middle of the new mexico desert a stone's throw from roswell historian david mahler has been compiling a treasure trove of top secret files spanning more than half a century but it's what's been happening most recently admissions from multiple high-ranking u.s officials about unexplained aerial phenomena or uaps that has him most excited [Music] the recent admissions on the part of the us government has been literally a game changer with regard to the subject and with regard to the perception public perception of the ufo subject why well for decades the air force fbi cia all the official agencies had a policy of denial deny the subject dispel the subject debunk the subject much of that culture of denial changed with the leaking of these tapes from the department of defense or dod in 2017 infrared images captured from on board the united states most sophisticated fighter jets and navy ships [Music] 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 i would have to say chris mellon christopher mellon was a very senior official a deputy assistant secretary in the united states department of defense in the clinton and bush administrations have you heard about the stephensville uh incident around george bush's ranch but more recently he emerged as the source who released to the new york times those now famous videos so let's go through it very carefully are these objects intelligently controlled some of them clearly are yeah 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 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 uh as a matter of integrity scientific integrity we have to be able to to look at the facts and follow them wherever they lead where they lead us next is to this man my name is luis elizondo i'm a former intelligence officer with the united states government for years all lines of investigation led to him the person the united states government put in charge of a secretive pentagon unit called atip the advanced aerospace threat identification program what did you determine well i think it is very clear that our organization determined the reality of something is in our sky we don't know what it is we don't know how it works we have no idea its intent and only seen some of its capabilities and there's not a whole lot we can do about it right now and i think that that that fact has been established that this is a very real phenomenon now what that phenomenon is still remains unknown but by definition anything any technology that is superior to yours in the american military is a threat isn't it it is a potential threat and for that reason this is why it is a national security issue if there is a technology that has somehow leapfrogged ahead of us that has the capabilities that we're seeing instantaneous acceleration hypersonic velocities low observability trans-medium travel and anti-gravity and it has the ability to to to fly unimpeded over our controlled u.s airspace at will and there's nothing we can do about it yes that's the national security imperative that is a problem that is a potential threat if there is a threat to the us and indeed to the world it has been kept a very big secret for many many years when we look at decades-long denials on the part of the us 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 i saw this white oblong object which he said looked like a tic-tac kind of zig-zagging around over the surface of the water leslie yeah ufos real of course leslie kane was the journalist who broke the story after being let into secrets long buried by successive governments i mean you were called and told to turn up i think to a hotel room somewhere in washington yeah hotel lobby it was a big meeting space in a lobby and who was there chris mellon was there and of course the purpose of it was for me to meet lou elizondo so he was there i was shown these documents that were blew my mind what were the primary revelations in that story that made people probably for the first time sit up and say well 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 has 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 [Music] on the day in question november 14 2004 the uss nimitz was performing drills of the southern californian coastline ahead of deployment to the persian gulf another ship involved in the exercise was the uss princeton manning the radar on board the princeton was kevin day for him it was a very important day a chance to play war games 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 but it wasn't the bad guys appearing on his screen that caught his eye instead a formation of unidentified flying objects i thought it was civilian related and they didn't even know we were out there the only reason why i became concerned with these is because the air defense exercise cap comes down to comments hey sir 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 curious it's a very persuasive argument what did the captain say he looks at me sternly you're right senior chief intercepting vid visually ideate and commander forever 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 dogfight and he screams out to his colleagues i'm engaged so it's intelligently responding it is absolutely intelligent responding to his actions that's very important it is not 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 an 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'm seeing him do the intercept and as soon as he's at the merge plot that object would go from 28 000 feet to the surface of the ocean in 0.78 seconds [Music] and then all of a sudden bam it's gone bing disappears instantaneously five seconds later you can do the math one of the radar operators radios into the f-18 and says sir you're not going to believe this but the object is now waiting for you at your cap point the cap point was an aerial rendezvous point 60 miles away known only to a handful of navy personnel and pilots they go to their cap point it's a secret nobody's meant to know this outside of the briefing room of the uss nimitz they get to the cap point and what's there waiting for them the tic tac it's there it's waiting for them it knows they're coming the cap point the meeting point in the air you know where the planes were going so there's obviously some kind of intelligence there i've had people explain this to me some of the fighter pilots involved and some of the defense officials who've investigated this they've said that it's the fact that it was flagging to the most sophisticated the most highly trained weapon systems in the american military it's literally poking its tongue out at them it's saying i know you're there i know where you're coming your technology is hopeless against mine it was showing its superiority to the most powerful country on earth that was the decisive turning point for the u.s military [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 oh my gosh no going against the wind the wind's a hundred and pointed out from the west there were radical maneuvers that just are impossible for us to to perform and to conceive of i mean we just don't know how anybody can do that i just don't understand it there has been successive revelations statements made by active and retired members of the intelligence community and military the release of the three dod videos and the acknowledgement that the phenomenon is real [Music] i wish i could be hypnotised and go back do you know what i mean i really do i think something is just telling me just to keep going i feel like it was there to do its thing and when it happened i i didn't think that it was happening to me [Music] destination ex-mouth western australia on our way here it feels less like another country than another planet an alien landscape where it's alleged visitors from another world have paid particular attention to us [Music] dear sir i hereby wish to report a most unusual sighting [Music] when it leaves how quickly does it live probably 10 times the speed of a jet aircraft oh very very fast very very fast planes can't fly like that it was definitely solid definitely solid an oval the size of a car i have absolute clarity of that memory what we saw was not of this world [Music] under the watchful eye of the town's flightless guards ross coulthart has arrived here to investigate the strange activities of something that's been flying above ex-mouth down unders very own roswell it was god's god's town it was really god's town i mean ex-mouth is sheer paradise for many years a tropical outpost of the united states on the edge of the australian outback so in every morning would say god save the queen and then we would swear allegiance to the flag to the american flag in australia in australia hiding in its star-spangled skies some very dark secrets we saw an unidentified flying object and the us military wanted to know what we had seen they wanted it shut up it whatever it is seems to be interested in this place on the edge of town a heavily guarded military installation once run by the americans and just a few kilometers further out one of the strangest structures in australia built to radio nuclear attack orders directly to u.s submarines in the event of all-out war 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 it's approximately around about 8 p.m i called a cab they caught at my house and uh picked me up and we headed straight out towards space and we're following that route now yes correct [Music] how far is it out to the herald hold base approximately around five kilometers so it's too far ready to walk it is a fair way to walk especially in very very dark circumstances and there's absolutely no lighting whatsoever you're how old at the time i was 25. it's just me and i'd come out to catch up with good friends the good old boys here on the us base outnumbered women by 25 to 1 so any chance to mingle was cause for celebration it was a brilliant night it was a really good night we didn't drink too much they had a great time and then it was time to go one of the protective service offices that i was with that evening he said we're going about to go on patrol so we'll just pick you up and take you back into town in the car that night in 1991 were annie and two officers from the australian federal police the gentleman that's driving is he's got his window down he's starting to look out and he looks at the other federal officer alongside of the other side of me on the left-hand side of me and says it's back grab my camera it's back it's back i'm asking over and over what's back what's back and then he sort of looks at me puts his camera down he grabs me by the back of the head and says look up so i lean forward and look straight above the vehicle what do you see i see a craft i see a diamond shaped craft hovering literally straight above the vehicle [Music] 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 what color gray like it was a deep grey within seconds it shoots up straight up in the skylight faster than you could watch it and then it comes down over here just like there one minute and then there then there and but it's still even that even i can show you with my hands but it still was faster than that so they dropped me on the edge of town literally throwing me out the vehicle and take off back and is that the end of it no well i thought it was i thought that was it back home annie was shocked struggling to make sense of what she witnessed but her weird encounters were far from over a few days later another unwelcome visitor came knocking and suddenly two military police from the base show up only there was an air of in their voice of you need to come with us willingly and if you don't come willingly then you know something more could go wrong there two military police requested she accompany them to the base as we've rolled up before we even got to the gate the gate was opened for us and they whoever would stand aside and let us through and then we indicated to go into the top security section of the base and the minute we indicated for that top security section i was thinking wow this is really serious also hauled in for questioning were the two men who'd been with annie that night [Music] she was in the company of two australian federal police officers who were then known as protective service but are now part of the federal police and those police officers and her were cross-examined interrogated by american people in the base in the days following the incident the center of that room was sit in the two federal offices there was three chairs the one in the middle was vacant and the two federal officers were in the other two chairs how did they look their heads were bowed they looked like they were broken they didn't even look up at me as i was escorted into the room and asked to sit down in the middle chair and i have multiple witnesses to what transpired i'm in no doubt whatsoever that was a secret investigation by the americans into what annie says that she saw and they didn't want her to talk about it do you think the whole purpose of that event was to try and keep you quiet ah for sure for sure i think i was a surprise to them i think i was shocked to them and i think that they didn't know what to do i think her story has been consistent all the way through she's got excellent recall she's somebody who's got a very sturdy reputation in the jobs that she's done inside the wa public service nobody can lay a glove on her i think in terms of credibility and more importantly for other good reasons that i have that i can't discuss here i'm very confident that what she's telling me is an accurate representation of what took place that night can you draw it for me forever burned in my brain like we saw that night so it was sort of like very elongated front of it like very pointed it come down almost like a diamond shape but the end part was taken away from it had lighting like i would say the spine of it and then on each wing so when it come down to the left hand side of us and i looked over to it what i saw was it was long but then slowly come up to a shape like that and then back down but in this was all cut almost like ridges in it um like a 3d effect almost the mystery of just what that object was that was seen hovering somewhere between this hill and that remote secret base still remains unsolved i find that fascinating and so do a lot of other people all around the world who've long been puzzled by the conundrum of unidentified aerial phenomena it's something that has also been ridiculed and covered up for so long so we've decided to follow the trail to follow in the steps of the americans here who took their secrets with them we're going all the way across a continent and across the pacific ocean to their home country on the trail of the flying saucers [Music] can i show you an image sure that our friend danny drew absolutely that's the shape that she says she saw hovering over the vehicle that she was in is it a familiar design to you it is there's some slight variations but uh what's interesting to note are the lights that you see here one of the interesting aspects of these triangular reports are the lights are not little small anti-collision lights like we see with you know conventional aircraft they're usually described as large circular disks if you will like that like this [Music] i've signed legislation that will outlaw russia forever we begin bombing in five minutes u.s intelligence urgently canvassed for signs of an imminent soviet attack i think that something extremely anomalous and unusual is still happening up at northwest cape i don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist i have no idea what it is but there is an anomaly that has been identified and witnessed by numerous people and i know because i've seen the files it has also been seen on multiple occasions by people in our defence department and some of those sightings reports are in our national archives [Music] every night when the sun finally does set on ex-mouth it becomes one of the darkest places on earth but that darkness was punctured one night in february 2015 by a strange blinding light off the highway which made young driver nikolai gordovich rethink everything 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 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 forgive me why didn't you stop i think something was just telling me just to keep going and now exmouth is a place where it seems to occur [Music] 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 they said are you that journo that's investigating you 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 [Music] adrian arnold is another ex-mouth eyewitness adrian at long last get to finally meet you hi ross good to meet you meet you it was 1973 when he was 12 and watching a movie with friends at the local drive-in between a break and filmed i just looked up and when i looked up i saw three dots that were sort of moving in odd patterns they moved directly one direction very quickly um and then paused and then moved to another direction couldn't it have been a plane a helicopter not likely not where this was um planes can't fly like that there was no way a helicopter could move the speed that these three dots left so they're in the shape of a triangle in a triangle and at times when they moved the triangle distorted and changed shape but it returned back to the flat it was almost like a three-dimensional triangle a diamond at the top of it was three-dimensional but no windows just seemed to be a solid metal object annie's sighting was in 1991 but her recollection of what she saw is as clear as if it were yesterday that's very interesting we don't have many lateral views of them though the majority that i have are when they're over the witness or relatively high in the sky it's not often we're afforded a view like this it literally came and hovered next to the car as it was driving along at 100 kilometers an hour so we're talking just a matter of feet above the ground amazing that's interesting one thing i will tell you talking about close proximity to the earth with many of these reports i don't have one account of a triangle landing we are still transmitting on behalf of the americans from northwest 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 seven taking photos 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 [Music] 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 a world away from western australia in the foothills of southern california retired u.s air force weapons operator robert salas is keeping a close eye on reports of craft appearing in the skies over nuclear installations like ex-mouse in the 1960s when he was the commander of an icbm nuclear missile launch facility he had the ability to independently launch nuclear missiles on america's enemies bob was literally the guy who pulled the trigger but he realized that somebody else was playing a game with him and it wasn't the russians in 1967 with the us and the ussr engaged in the cold war insanity of mutually assured destruction the then 27 year old was in charge of launching nuclear warheads from montana if given the order i would have launched those missiles essentially we're talking about the end of civilization as we know it it was an order he hoped he'd never receive and on march 24 1967 he was underground in the weapons silo sitting by a phone he hoped would never ring but it did on the line was a guard up top telling salas he'd seen a menacing light in the airspace above the atomic warheads they were in charge of screaming into the phone he's very frightened extremely frightened he's babbling shouting uh i finally count him down and he says there's a orange red light a large light hovering above the front gate and it's a pulsating light you got all the guards out there with their weapons and he wanted me to tell him what to do it was of course crossing my mind that we were under some sort of an attack [Music] and all of a sudden we get bells and whistles going off klaxon's really loud horns and that happens when a missile goes down for any reason simultaneously or one by one one by one across the board something shut down the system with the arsenal rendered inoperable salas ordered the guards back underground what did they say they saw they saw ufos they saw these lights hovering above the facility you're freaking me out bob i mean this is this is scary the point is these objects knew and know exactly how our systems work and they're able to interfere at any point so you're describing clearly a non-human intelligence vastly superior technology yes interfering with the most powerful weapons at our disposal that's what i'm describing um yes you think it was alien i think was off earth yes or alien technology was far outreach anything that we have what we saw was none of this world of course there may be another plausible explanation for these sightings that what people like annie saw was not out of this world but of this world in other words secret u.s military technology no one was meant to see sort of show you something remember 1991 was around the beginning of america's stealth program look at that that looks exactly like what we saw except the top of it was cut like i had more cuts in a three-dimensional shape yeah and that makes me feel extremely anxious because that's what we saw except the tail bit was cut off the end there the really interesting thing about this is that this is a stealth craft called the hopeless diamond so you're saying that this could have been the americans doing well if if it is human constructed it suggests that maybe the americans were testing some kind of advanced technology over xmas i feel like i'm panicking i feel angry if that's the truth then why would they have buzzed and followed that car knowing damn well that we could see that and then try to shut us up that makes for me absolutely no sense and it is infuriating why is it infuriating because i mean realistically it's done a lot for my life for many years and and like the fact here that i don't even want to be identified you're worried about being ridiculed oh absolutely so if this is real why would they take us onto the base and question us like they did and insisting that we tell people we saw a weather balloon does that look like a weather balloon to you because you and two cops had stumbled across if this is true probably one of the biggest secrets in the american military the testing of an advanced prototype aircraft or craft why would they be dumb enough to buzz the car you know 1989 the f-117a stealth fighter the b2 stealth bomber this was hovering the stealth bomber doesn't hover no stealth bomber doesn't hover this thing also showed hypersonic instantaneous hypersonic velocity and with that was there a sonic boom no it was also whisper quiet there was no noise of any propulsion system at all the vast majority of these triangular reports are silent there have been people directly underneath one of these that look up and they say if i didn't look up i wouldn't have known it was there [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] 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 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 [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 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 [Music] 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 it was your classic cigar-shaped object that was looked like grey metal that's what it looked like we got some of the key witnesses to quietly independently draw what they saw and they drew clear consistent images of the same sort of object what i want you all to do is to try and draw as best as you can what you saw that day and no peeking the movement was incredible straight up side up down all over the place what's that a reception it sort of like a hump on the on the top it's like um a silvery thing like this and it had like little lights around it all lights underneath it around here around the edges it's very interesting that all of you are describing roughly the same see shape there you go you're going to hold yourself i mean that's amazing i mean you all give a clear and fairly consistent account of a classic saucer it was a grey almost cylindrical or cigar-shaped object which moved with some degree of precision in the sky flying saucer i'm not going to say flying saucer that's emotive language but it was uh of the shape that you would see if you had a saucer slightly tipped on its side [Music] what's amazing about the west all story is that it's as if it never happened it's effectively being wiped from history and yet just down the road from this suburban rsl 55 years ago students teachers local residents looked up into the sky and saw what can only be described as a ufo a flying saucer and those people those witnesses are as sure today as they were 55 years ago about what they saw aren't you guys yes at this time as you're watching this what's the reaction from the kids lots of oohs and dars there's a significant number that then took off over the oval because it had moved flown down apparently behind some pine trees 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 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 soon i 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 this is first person evidence from people saying i saw a craft a mechanical object intelligently controlled hovering above me that's good evidence i think that's evidence that deserves to be taken seriously [Music] 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 and exactly what did you see men in uniform yes yeah i saw yeah um yeah and they actually uh they had uh what was like century guards at their different points um you know like um stopping people from going into the grange but you've got to remember that was our backyard if we wanted to get in there we could did you sneak in oh later on yes i did and what did you see um it's circular um the area look 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 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 14 days later mr greenwood was paid a visit to his home by two men on official government business two weeks later knock on the door and when i answered it um there were two people there one in plain clothes and then the other one senior a senior air force obviously senior had a good many rings on his sleeve and they told me that i was wrong but they hadn't seen anything um and when i tried to explain to them that they weren't there i was and i knew what i saw and uh well i think the first suggestion was that 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 trying to gag you from telling the truth about what you saw which is quite interesting when you realize that officials from another government um 12 months later begged me to uh 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 a mister i think it might have been a professor james mcdonald james mcdonald that's the one officially he was working for the u.s navy but in his spare time he's checking many australian reports of ufos and comparing them with american reports his aim is to see if the reports tally in short where the 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 here there is a recording of the interview you saw there was a hovering motionless when i 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 would see it over in another part of the sky it moved considerable distance very roughly and then moved 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 well this is one thing we just don't know it didn't banish also while you rely 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 what really strikes me is that 55 years on these people are very certain about what they saw and it just begs belief to me that in australia we've never had any official investigation and flatly i think there's been a cover-up i really do i think somebody has buried the department of supply report which i know exists this is the largest group sighting of a ufo this is 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 but there's one thing you are very sure of somebody was trying to cover the center oh yes and that is what i find most interesting of all that that i was definitely being told to be quiet we just had something go right over the top of us i hate to say this looked like a long cylindrical object it almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast right over the top [Music] every now and then in journalism somebody will tell you something and you just don't quite know what to make of it this is one of those times make of this what you will i've been told here in america by multiple defense and intelligence sources two former and one serving senior officials something quite amazing that america has recovered alien extraterrestrial technology including spacecraft and one of them was recovered from near here and if that's not enough you're also talking about alien bodies for years i've been interested in a lot of these crazy sounding cases of us military secretly recovering alien spacecraft from parts of new mexico nevada and utah so i met and interviewed a while back from my book scott and suzanne ramsey scott found out by accident from local navajo indians talking about the crash site and so as a husband and wife couple they have done some phenomenal research well on march 25th 1948 oil workers discovered a lenticular craft laying up here after being called out because of a brush fire and they came up and found this large object about 18 feet tall just short of 100 feet across now you're testing me here you're saying an alien spacecraft with multiple dead aliens on it 16 was discovered here yeah that's right when we started this process it was insignificant whether it was positive or negative the results we wanted the truth and it has led us in the direction that we we firmly believe that it occurred so what happens they they discover a craft how many individual dead i can't believe i'm saying this aliens are on board this 16 16 eliots 16. they were between three and a half feet to four feet tall they were perfect teeth they were childlike in appearance they had jumpsuits on that were like a powder colored blue they were charred blue uniforms on nothing that would signify uh rank what really fascinated me was that there was a claim that saucer craft whatever it was had hit another mesa on the way and we were privileged to be able to meet the granddaughter of the man who saw that craft hit that hill a woman called krista and to test her claims she very kindly agreed to come with us to the top of a 7 500 foot mesa which is a an expedition i will never forget we went to the very top of the hill and she pointed out to us the rock that in family folklore her grandfather said was the rock that the craft hit this massive craft hit and then kept on going after it hit that object that rock he said that it was that it was wobbling and when it hit the rock over here it had it was wobbling and before it hit the rock so it was obviously out of control it was out of control absolutely wherever they were from they and their craft ended up right here you've actually spoken directly to people who saw this object absolutely yeah and you believe them absolutely i do and so john our cameraman put his drone up and for the first time we got drone vision and photographs of this mark on this bit of rock and i i don't know for sure what it is i'm not a geologist i'm not somebody who can qualify to look at rocks but it does look like something's hit that rock and whatever it was it was very large and very strong because it it seems to have taken a gouge out of the rock face who else turns up the military late morning early noon time they took it to the los alamos nuclear laboratory that's that's my opinion so let me check this you've got witnesses who say that they've worked on a recovered alien spacecraft and that the united states government is trying to re-engineer that technology at least to understand how it works wow yeah do you think that the united states military somewhere has recovered alien materials i think it's i think there's a strong possibility of that yes and i've spoken to sources who have basically said that yes and i trust these sources [Music] the question is who or what exactly is it and that is the big question it could be something that's always been here that's just as natural as you and me just as natural as that and we're just not at the point as a species we're beginning to to collect the information and be able to interact this enigma requires data it requires courage to ask the hard questions and ultimately what we really might have to wind up asking ourselves what does it mean to be a human being nervousness and fear about it and what are the implications of this i don't think everybody wants to face that i am absolutely certain that this is a reality eventually all of us are going to have to face it suspending in any ideology any belief in ufos whether you believe or disbelieve it doesn't matter ignorance is not an option this issue will challenge your understanding of reality and your notions of reality i think it's possible the u.s military is in possession of either materials from a spacecraft or a craft itself that is the biggest story and that's the cutting edge i think of what we need to know more about it is mind-boggling it's hard to process it's hard to digest if there is an alien civilization waiting to show itself to humanity if there is some kind of consciousness that's been with us that's not human that is sentient that's always been here whatever it is it's exciting because it redefines our understanding of ourselves in the universe it's going to turn religion cosmology science on its head [Music] this is a conversation that impacts every one of us equally and yet differently [Music] oh my gosh yeah we have uh 31 knots to stay in there top side gusts of 40. focus splash mark varying range [Music] we may be on the threshold of getting some answers within our lifetime i think we are at a turning point in human history [Music] it's absolutely real there is a real phenomenon here there's no question about that hi there i'm ross coulthard coming to you from a quarantine hotel in sydney's cbd our filming for the documentary you've just viewed only wrapped in the united states last week the situation was evolving in washington dc so rapidly we at spotlight thought it important to bring you the latest and most comprehensive report we could in record time we know that sometime this coming month june a report comes into the u s congress from the pentagon which will supposedly reveal all it knows on ufos maybe we're about to find out whether out there in the cosmos there is a more advanced civilization than ours if you'd like to explore this further you can pre-order a copy of my new book in plain sight there's a pre-order link on screen now we'll keep you informed on spotlight on any breaking developments in this story as they happen [Music] last sunday's spotlight episode the phenomenon drew an enormous response from around australia and indeed from around the world we've been inundated with extraordinary eyewitness accounts of ufo sightings but perhaps the one that most caught our eye came from a national household name in fact he's an old friend and colleague of mine former sunrise weatherman grant denyer this week he caught up with ross coulthart who has some further startling developments in this story as well so grant denier approached us this week and told us that he had a sighting of unidentified objects hovering over nary warren in southeast melbourne when he was about 19 years old he describes the very same kind of objects that are described by literally thousands of people who've contacted us objects that are doing hypersonic speeds literally turning instantaneously with no slowing down and movement and as he said to me it's not able to be explained there's no explanation that he's ever been able to find from any kind of human technology that explains this and he's open to the possibility that it might not be of this world [Music] grant take me back you're a 19 year old lad what happened well i was driving along the road at night time about nine o'clock at night um noticed a couple of very strange lights just just hovering in the sky low in the sky and they were too bright to be stars or planets about as bright as a plane but not moving um not moving at all just about five dots just sort of sitting there in two groups satellites not satellites no a satellite wouldn't be that bright and it would be higher in the sky if you could see it at all this is this is in southeast melbourne suburbs so a fair bit of light pollution around so you wouldn't really see the stars or a satellite anyway so these were bright bright lights but i was wondering and i was curious why they weren't moving and planes should be moving a helicopter should be moving then i just sit there and then one of the lights left its group went from a standing start to a supersonic speed over to the other group and then just stopped dead on a dime and i know there is nothing in this world that can do that so i was like i've just seen something that i can't explain wow i believe what i saw was some form of ufo and whilst i sat on it for a long time and didn't really talk to too many people about it because you know you do sound like a bit of a whack job and even coming out on television now and telling this story you know people might go well you're a whack job well i don't care i i saw it i saw i think there's a taboo that's existed in relation to this subject for so many years and i think when people saw that the pentagon even the u.s department of defense is now admitting this is real i think people realized well i can talk about this and so one of the people i can't name him but one of the people who called me this week was a very senior federal politician and he told me that he'd had an experience with his girlfriend where he had seen a flying saucer hover over him at a beach and i said well you go on the record well you talk about it and he went not on your nelly never and he's still worried about that ridicule thing but a lot of the people most people are very happy to talk about it because they realize there's no stigma anymore with talking about the phenomenon because you've got the american defense department very senior officials in the in the pentagon and the american government admitting that this is real you've seen it was it real it was real but i saw it was real there were about five lights and when one left the group and joined the others they hovered there for probably another i don't know 10 seconds and then they just all both groups just went together and just disappeared [Music] i think that i have a reasonable mechanical understanding of how things operate i race cars i drive at 300 kilometers an hour i know those dynamics um i now fly a plane you know i've done my first solo so i know about those dynamics i know about what are the things in your airspace that you need to consider that's nothing that is in any textbook that i've ever seen what so many of us have trouble understanding is behaviour that for one of a better expression cannot be explained some of it is simply bizarre is there something to candle mutilations there are unusual incisions and mutilations that have taken place with cattle and other animals going back decades many people attribute this to ufos we've been living on the land for all of our life never ever run into something like this before the area it is where it is it's not even where people can access easily mick and judy cook run a 14 000 hectare cattle station in an isolated pocket of north queensland there's only one road in and one road out two years ago mick was out on a remote part of the property when he noticed something very strange early one morning i was down the uh like we call the river country and there was a cow there dead [Music] and as i'm driving past her i've seen her ado had been surgically removed there was no no blood or anything but very neatly removed took a few photos to show me wife more than anything [Music] she also had a part of a joule removed and one ear basically where it's been cut there's no blood on the hide no blood on anything and i don't know anybody that's been able to remove her house other without blood everywhere and not only that there's no struggle where the cow died there's nothing it's just neatly put down there no struggle marks no blood nothing since then they say 15 of their cattle have died in similar ways the most recent was eight months ago who's responsible very good question it's alien to us [Music] i'm kind of nervous that you're going to giggle at me and laugh because there is this phobia about dealing with this subject i'll ask it anyway is there any link between the ufo phenomenon and cattle mutilations do you believe i've talked to people that have investigated that and credible people and i've seen the photographs and i know they've tested the blood and it's really undeniable that there's there's something going on there and the cuts are often surgically precise it's excising specific organs inside the body often with no discernible external wounds yeah it's not as though they were just you know shot and have a bullet wound or something they're lying on the ground there's been some surgical cuts and it's usually the same cuts over and over again and um often the blood is drained and it's a bizarre it's really bizarre it's a genuine mystery and i know people will want to giggle they will want to ridicule but let them the reality is it's real because the united states fbi when i was doing my book research they told me that there are 10 000 unsolved cattle mutilation cases across the united states across a swathe of the united states it became such a big issue that congressmen were demanding investigations by federal law enforcement and they never got an answer they were never able to properly explain what happened to these poor animals it's a genuine mystery i reckon for the first few weeks i was a bit iffy about walking outside at night but you can't do anything about it if they're that smart yeah and a couple of times i thought gee have i got a chip in my head or something like that i know i did have those sort of thoughts go through but i said no i'm still normal hope when you hear from mick and judy cook they're honest as the day is long meccan judy does sound like an honest honest australian couple but those cattle mutilations it's interesting we started investigating them and there are people all over australia who've experienced strange surgically precise cuts to their animals that died in the most horrendous circumstances and they've often been reluctant to to talk about it because of the ridicule factor right so good on you yeah being able to speak about what you say i think you know i'm i come from a long line of farming families so and i know what kind of pride and reputation is at stake you know in those areas you know we've been on the same farm for 113 years now we're still on that property and i can tell you that um and a neighbor was on the tractor at night time and in the middle of nowhere pitch black the brightest of bright lights just came over the top of the tractor and just hovered there for a while imagine they do exist okay match but we don't know their intent is it is it friendly is it is it not friendly should we not be learning about them just in case we might need to all band together to take this situation on as as one unified group um you're crazy if you don't ask questions that's how evolution works [Music] i'm really lucky that i had the experience i feel like it opened up my eyes and it's nice to know that i'm not the center of the universe but maybe there's something else out there that's bigger than all of this so for you it was a positive experience yeah yeah i i liked the fact that i saw what i saw because i was like okay there's a big picture at play that's not just me in this world and i like that idea i like the curiosity of thinking
