Full auto-transcript: (suspenseful music) (digital chirping) (suspenseful music) (digital chirping) (suspenseful music) - [Narrator] Tonight on Unidentified. - [Luis] We had been hearing rumors that there was a senior Navy official in the Italian government who may be interesting in speaking with us. - -[Luis] This is nuts. These are all their, Tom. - [Tom] Yeah. - [Luis] These are all their events. This is it. This is the briefing. This has just now crossed the line to a true national security threat. - This is a worldwide phenomenon. - [Steve] Is it interdimensional? Is it from another planet? - [Pilot] It's a whole fleet of them. Oh, my gosh. - [Narrator] For eight years, Lou Elizondo ran a secret UFO investigation for the US military. But in 2017, he quit in protest. - I put my entire future on the line because I believe in what I believe in. - [Narrator] Now he's joined an elite group of former government insiders. Their mission, reveal what they see is the truth about UFOs. - [Tom] This is real, and we're gonna get to the bottom of it. - [Narrator] For the past year, Elizondo's investigation has produced shocking revelations from military eye witnesses. - That is something I have never seen. - [Narrator] Two Navy fighter pilots told him they came face to face with a Tic-Tac-shaped UFO in 2004. - [Wingman Pilot] High G, rapid velocity, rapid acceleration. How could I possibly fight this? - [Narrator] And a Navy radar operator said he tracked an entire fleet of the unidentified craft flying over the Pacific. - I had these objects raining out of the sky, choo, choo, choo, choo. If these things are hostile, then we're screwed. - [Narrator] But these stories were just the beginning. - They're up there when we take off. And then we land, and my buddy that takes off an hour later had seen the same things. - [Narrator] Lou Elizondo discovered a different class of UFOs. - [Pilot] There's a whole fleet of 'em. - [Narrator] Allegedly stalked Navy fighter pilots off the East Coast in 2015 - It seemed like they're aware of our presence because they would actively move around us. - [Narrator] And they even followed the pilots to the Middle East. - We really have no idea what we're dealing with. - [Narrator] But there's one thing his investigation has never found, until now. (dramatic music) (digital chirping) - [Luis] I don't know if it was a journey more or less than an odyssey that hasn't finished yet. It was probably one of the most difficult decisions I ever made in my life, with the ramifications that it could be potentially disastrous. You know, it's not just me I gotta worry about. I gotta worry about my wife, my two daughters. I gave it all up to do what I thought was right. Half the people that I know think I'm crazy. The other half of the people I know don't understand. At the end of the day, I hope that people a lot smarter than me will come out of the shadows and tell the government what they know. I did this because I needed our leadership and government to finally take notice. The only way I could fix the system was to fix it from the outside. - [Narrator] Lou Elizondo and his partner, Tom DeLonge are on their way to Rome, Italy. - [Luis] When I was in the government, I just couldn't go to France or Italy and have a conversation about UFOs with their national defense apparatus. - [Narrator] They've been invited to a private meeting with senior Italian military officials concerned about UFO encounters. (digital chirping) - [Luis] Yeah, I'd been hearing for a while rumors that there was a potential attack on an Italian aircraft. This is the first time that myself, even being in AATIP, was ever aware of an actual hostile act. - [Narrator] Italy is one of the few nations that openly investigates UFOs. - [Luis] When Tom and myself first came to Italy, it was made very clear to us that this is not an Italian phenomenon. It's not an American phenomenon. It is indeed a global phenomenon. - [Tom] We believe that investigating and communicating the subject can help pull people of all nations together. - [Narrator] Clarbruno Verdruccio is a scientist and a commander in an elite unit of the Italian Navy. - Much about it. - [Narrator] For the past 15 years, he's been investigating unidentified craft with a team of researchers. - Absolutely. I would like to see what you have. That's what I'd like to see - Oh, yeah. - [Luis] Well, that's-- - [Luis] I still have to be cognizant of the security clearance I hold. So please do not confuse my speaking in generalities as trying to avoid a question. During our time in the AATIP program, we were focused on only two primary objectives. Those two objectives: What is it, and how does it work? We still don't know what they are, but we have a much better understanding now of how they work. - [Narrator] The Italians have accumulated one of the world's largest collections of data on unidentified aerial phenomenon or UAP. - [Narrator] There's one incident in particular the officials want to discuss. Oh, yeah. - That's what I'd like to see. This was the only helicopter in the air space on a secret mission to actually investigate the UAP phenomenon off the coast of that island, and it gets zapped. And there are several pictures from different cameras on the island of the same helicopter and a UAP following it. (scooter engine revving) (digital chirping) Oh, yeah. - That's what I'd like to see. - [Narrator] Clarbruno Verdruccio is a commander in the Italian military's equivalent of the US Navy SEALs. He's describing a harrowing 2004 encounter between one of his military helicopters and a UFO. - [Luis] So this was deliberate. You believe that it was a deliberate-- (siren blares) (speaking Italian) - [Narrator] In 2004, a series of spontaneous fires broke out across Northern Sicily, destroying homes and forcing evacuations. (reporter speaking Italian) - [Narrator] The Italian military sent a helicopter to investigate. Officials say the copter was chased by a saucer-shaped UFO that shot a powerful electromagnetic beam at its rotor. The helicopter was severely damaged but able to land. The incident was photographed by a local resident. Locals had also reported seeing mysterious lights over the sea. For months, the military investigators were baffled, but they were able to piece together a few key details. (speaking Italian) - [Luis] Mode. - Mode. - [Luis] Uh-huh. (speaking Italian) And now, what you say to me? - [Narrator] Militaries around the world have electromagnetic pulse weapons that produce quick bursts of energy that can destroy electrical systems. But the Italians claim the pulse fired in the attack on their helicopter destroyed its rotor. No known military has that capability. - They were very pointed and matter of fact that these things have been kind of plaguing them for some time. One individual in particular provided some very, very detailed information to include some analysis on frequency. I hate to say it, but they may have more information than we do even in the US potentially. - [Narrator] The Italians say the spontaneous fires in Northern Sicily were also caused by an electromagnetic beam which they say came from the ocean. - [Man] So the target was found at a distance of around 80 kilometers. - [Luis] Do we have an altitude? - [Narrator] Elizondo has heard reports of UFOs in the ocean before. - [Wingman Pilot] We all very quickly realized that there was something in the water. (speaking Spanish) - In the water. - [Man] Yeah. Yeah. - Communication. - [Luis] This was next level. One of our international friends may have even figured out a way to communicate. We didn't get that far at AATIP, that's for damn sure. (speaking Italian) - I can't answer that question. - [Luis] I cannot speak on behalf of if other efforts had existed within the US government. - I am. - [Roberto] Okay. - [Luis] I think we're all in the same boat. So my hope is with the help of you all and everybody else, we can move this topic forward. This affects humanity. This doesn't affect just one country. (speaking Italian) - [Narrator] As the meeting winds down, Elizondo, DeLonge and the Italian officials agree to form a global partnership. If their governments won't take the threat seriously, they'll work together outside the system. - The last moment of the last hour of our engagement with the Italian government, we were afforded a thumb drive, a thumb drive that has a tremendous amount of data on it about UAPs and here particularly in Italy. These are all their, Tom. - [Tom] Yeah. - These are all their events. I've got the whole thing here. These are all the events since 1901 here in Italy. - [Tom] All the reports? - All of them, the entire spreadsheet, lat, longs and everything. Oh, look at these. Look at these historical ones. This is nuts. Look, they got some analysis. Oh, man, this is the incident that happened down in Sicily. There it is. Look at that. That is incredible. This is it. This is where they had the helicopters. Son of a bitch, this is the briefing. There it is right behind it, right? And then when you come over here, this is the actual top secret investigation they did. Here's the rotors, and here's a closeup. Had any foreign adversary attacked a military helicopter of another nation, that could be a sign of aggression for sure and maybe potentially an act of war. So, that's a big deal. (suspenseful music) (digital chirping) - [Luis] It is incumbent upon any government to protect its people. And if there's any military aircraft that is interfered with, that could be a sign of vulnerabilities, and that's a huge issue. - [Steve] Hey, what's up? - [Luis] Hey, Steve. - [Narrator] Lou Elizondo is back from Italy. He's meeting up with his partner, Steve Justice. Justice is the former director of advanced systems for Lockheed Martin's legendary Skunk Works division. - Here's the bottom line. There's three options. It's a foreign technology. The second option is it's our technology, something that we had managed to keep under wraps for a super long time. The third option is that this is something else. Where does that leave us? - [Narrator] Over the past year, Elizondo and Justice have met to explore possible explanations for the incredible accounts of the US military encounters with UFOs. - [Pilot] Yeah, got it! - [Narrtor] They discussed whether UFOs could actually be top secret American military test aircraft and the pilots they interview were merely unwitting test subjects. - I can't completely eliminate the fact that those type of velocities potentially, potentially achievable with certain technologies we have. - It's possible. It could be because, you know, it was an operational test. You know, not everybody gets to know everything. - [Narrator] They also consider whether these UFOs could be advanced aircraft from a foreign adversary. - A foreign adversary, they would have to send in something that's super sophisticated, fast, that can get in, look at what it is we're doing, and then get back out, right? - My greatest fear is that an adversary did figure it out and we are just way, way, way, way, way behind. - [Narrator] The third and most controversial theory is that these unidentified craft are not of this world. - These things that we're seeing, they don't have wings. They don't have tails. They don't really have any cockpits that we can see. They don't have anything that we would normally associate with a traditional aircraft. - Right. We can create systems that do pieces of each of these and not a single system that does all of these. - Precisely. When we were at AATIP, we had some really smart people. These were scientists, academics who had put a lot of time and effort into trying to figure out the physics of this. - [Pilot] Look at this thing! - [Luis] We were looking at what are these things and what will it take to explain them and then to exploit them and be able to build them. Although we were focused on the nuts and bolts, we were trying to look at all potential possibilities and options of what this could be. Part of that was a commissioning of several studies that has now become quite public, 37 studies. - Right. - [Narrator] This declassified list of studies Elizondo's secret UFO program commissioned was released to the public in 2019 thanks to the efforts of the late senator John McCain. - I'm gonna pull up real quick here, this is a letter-- - Oh, this is the McCain-- - Yeah so, I think it's important we put this into context. This is the response by DIA to the late senator John McCain. Senator McCain has been there, done that, fought for this country. For him to take the time to do this, I think it's very telling. - And at this point in time, he knew what his fate was as well. And so it's clear he wanted to accomplish some things. - [Narrator] In July 2018, Senator McCain sent a request to the Defense Intelligence Agency for all non-classified documents from Elizondo's secret program to be released to the public. - Now that the list of studies has been released by the US government, we really weren't looking at aircraft 40 years in the future. We were looking at a paradigm-changing technology to try to help explain the phenomenon. - [Steve] Correct. The biggest obstacle these things have to overcome is a lot of these were typically classified as pseudoscience. - Right. - [Narrator] The studies explored complex theoretical topics like invisibility, wormholes and antigravity, subjects many believe to be science fiction. - This technology is, for all intents and purposes, magic. So, you know we would like to get it. Whoever cracks the code and figures this stuff out first would have a tremendous advantage over our other adversaries. - What will your feelings be if it turns out that it is not a foreign technology capability and it's not a US capability? Then what? - Then it's something else because it's hard to say it's not there. - [Narrator] The studies examined cutting edge theories, but they did not address the question that has shadowed the UFO community for decades, the possibility that intelligent life from another solar system has arrived on Earth. The question has been debated for decades with no hard proof. - [Matthew] The question of whether or not there's extraterrestrial life is certainly a scientific question that deserves investigation. - [Narrator] Matthew Kleban is a leading theoretical physicist at New York University. - We now know that our own galaxy contains of order a hundred billion stars, and there are of order 10 or a hundred bullion other galaxies that we can observe within the observable part of our universe. So you multiply those two numbers together and it's a staggeringly huge figure. - [Narrator] With the help of deep space telescopes, astrophysicists estimate that not only do billions of solar systems exist in our observable universe. Up to one in four contain a planet that can sustain life. - It would be naive to think that we could be the only ones out there, and I get that. What I'm always fearful of is in people focusing in on aliens. Now you start going down the roads of, you know, is it from another planet, is it interdimensional, you know, is it spiritual. What is those things? And it opens up so many cans of worms that I just, I just don't allow myself to go down that path. - I mean, I think it's disingenuous to say it's not an option. It's so unknown that we really have no idea what we're dealing with. (ominous music) - [Chris] Busy morning so far, lots going on actually. Lots of phone calls and emails on our favorite subject. So, things are hopping and um, very ah, very much looking forward to seeing the Senator. - [Narrator] Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Chris Mellon is on his way to meet with a powerful ally in his mission to get the government to take the UFO threat seriously, former Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid. - Harry Reid was convinced by doing his own research that this was something as an elected official he should probably care about. And he clearly convinced some of his colleagues in the Senate that it was important enough to look into and that's how this Pentagon program got started in the first place. - [Narrator] Senator Reid was the driving force behind the creation of the Pentagon's secret UFO unit, known as ATIP. Reid retired from the Senate in 2017 but he's still working behind the scenes to push the U.S. government to study what he believes is a clear and present danger to national security. - [Chris] There's a lot of very profound, very deep issues that an individual like Harry Reid is acutely aware of that he's been deeply involved with. And for him to devote time to this issue in the twilight of his career is fascinating. (slow music) - We've been in a quandary, we have these very, very proficient best trained pilots in the world and they see these strange occurrences and in the past they've been afraid to say anything to anyone for fear they would be looked at as a little strange, a little weird. So, for decades nothing has been done about these instances. - What I wanted to do today initially is provide an update. - [Narrator] Mellon wants Reid to know about the increasingly dangerous military encounters with UFO's his team has uncovered. - We've learned that beginning in 2015, there were scores of encounters off the east coast of the United States with U.S. Naval fighters and unidentified flying objects of different kinds. And this was within minutes of a flying distance from the nation's capital. This is still unresolved and this is still continuing. And active duty pilots have approached us and shared these stories with us. - Where ever we were they were there. So that could mean two things that could mean they were already there or they were following the strike group. - Really the extraordinary things we learned from these pilots is that when they're carrier battle group deployed across the Atlantic they continue to encounter these things all the way across the Atlantic into the Middle East and even over Syria. - We hear so much about off the coast of Florida and especially Virginia, people think that's the only place these unusual things have happened, it's not true. It's all over the world where we have battle groups. So this isn't anything that just is limited to the United States, it's a worldwide phenomenon. - But we're finding in both these legislative and executive branch this still lingering concern about a stigma. - But I never hid from it, I acknowledge it. I thought it was an important thing for our country. And I think people who run from this are absolutely wrong. (ominous music) - [Narrator] Senator Reid secured funding for the Pentagon's secret UFO program in part because he and others had come to believe America's adversaries were gaining the advantage. (explodes) - Since I got interested in this, has been KGB Putin. He was head of the KGB and I guarantee you that he's got a lot of information on this and I would bet that Russia is ahead of us in looking into this scientifically. - Yes, sir and we absolutely share your concern and one of the things that is very frustrating to me is as a former defense department official myself, it's not even being examined, it's sitting on computer servers. - You know why they're not looking at it, they don't want to, it's another issue that they're trying to ignore. And that's what's happened over the years and that's too bad. We now have the technology of what else is going on in space, that information is coming in, it's all stored someplace in a computer bank and it can be pulled up. - We're in an environment right now where there's sort of unprecedented distrust of our government. Do you have any reason to believe that there is a government coverup with UFOs that behind the scenes the government actually really does know the answers and has a-- - I think the government doesn't know the answers but over the decades rather than try to find the answers, they've tried to cover up what the answers might be. - [Narrator] In an effort to find answers we brought in aerospace entrepreneur Bob Bigelow. - [Bryan] And Bob Bigelow has been very open about his views that he believes there are intelligent beings from some other place that have visited here. - [Narrator] Bigelow was one of the few high profile people involved in the Pentagon secret program to say he believes the unidentified craft are from another world. - Bob Bigelow recently said on national TV that he absolutely believes not only that alien life exists but that aliens are here, that aliens are visiting earth. Do you share that view? - I feel it would be from a congressional standpoint, it would affect my credibility if I started talking about everything I know. (ominous music) (digital chirping) - [Tom] Okay, so it's a huge week for us. This is a really big moment so talk to me a little bit about today and the people we're meeting. - I'll be introducing you to an individual that worked with me when I was with ATIP. - [Narrator] Lou Elizonda and Tom DeLonge are in Washington D.C. for a series of secret meetings with government officials. - The reason for this meeting is to basically deconflict and coordinate where are some of the areas that we can continue help informing and push the cause. And they're gonna also let us know what they're doing on their end. We wanna make sure we don't step on each other's toes and we can help each other out. - [Narrator] Since he left the Pentagon, Elizando has been working to convince the military to create a formal process for pilots and others to report their encounters with UFOs. - Just a year ago if I wanted to have a conversation in the halls of the Pentagon about this, I had to go into a vault that was located beside a schiff, I had to shut the door, turn on noisemakers and then I had to whisper in a very quiet voice because of the nature and the sensitivity and the stigma that was associated with this portfolio. And I think that's important because I think the conversation about this requires transparency, requires collaboration and it requires honesty. When you come across a gang changing technology it's very, very important that you report that up through the chain of command. - [Narrator] The Department of Defense that was Elizondo's secret UFO program officially shut down in 2012 but Elizondo says the investigation continues. - In the DOD, there's two things that occur when you have an organization, there's paperwork when you start a program and there's paperwork when you end a program. You won't find any paperwork that ended ATIP. - [Narrator] Over the past year, he's been communicating behind the scenes with a new team of Pentagon intelligence officers who are studying UFOs. (dramatic music) - ATIP is no longer run by a single office, there's now several offices that are engaged in this effort. We meet with people regularly involved in this effort. And that's about all I can say. Let's roll. - [Narrator] Elizondo and DeLonge head to a meeting with three military intelligence officers. - These are individuals that have to remain very, very much protected. There are extremely qualified people whom I trust, whom I personally know that are still running this effort. And it is being run with official blessing and that is what I'm prepared to say, I cannot go into anymore than that. (ominous music) - [Narrator] The meeting lasts for over an hour. - Right before the meeting concluded I was pulled aside and shared some private information that there is still some degree of animosity regarding my departure. I didn't ask for this portfolio, it was given to me and I committed myself to it from day one. You're given a mission that you believe in and your job is to finish that mission. (dramatic music) - [Narrator] Since he went public, Elizondo has been able to bring military eyewitnesses out of the shadows and on the record. - We finally have people having conversations about this enigma. - [Wingman Pilot] When I get a call to go to the Pentagon and provide a now serious debrief, it's a little surreal. - [Luis] People have testified before Congress, these are active duty military personnel. - Other people have had this issue as well, so it's not a one off with me. - [Luis] They have informed Congress, we have the executive department engaged. - So far, this group of individuals have made more progress in getting this issue into the mainstream and taken seriously than anybody has in a very, very long time if ever. There's a growing awareness in Congress about this but I don't anticipate that any time soon we're gonna have UFO hearings on Capitol Hill. (dramatic music) (digital chirping) - [Luis] It really goes against my DNA to have gone, quote, unquote "public" with this. Do I think it was a right decision, it think it was the only decision because otherwise we'd still be where we were a year ago which is nowhere. (dramatic music) - [Reporter] Something unexplained is happening in the skies above the United States even the U.S. Navy isn't certain what is going on. - [Narrator] In April 2019, the U.S. Navy made an unprecedented announcement, it's creating a new protocol for pilots to report UFO sightings. For Chris Mellon, the announcement is a major victory. - [Tucker] Chris Mellon is a former Pentagon official. Chris, thanks very much for coming on. - Thank you Tucker, it's an extraordinary turn around and it's really the result of an interaction between Congress and the Navy and the fact that this has gotten on Congress's radar began some discussions which elevated an issue that before this time had been smothered and kept at low levels of the bureaucracy. (dramatic music) (digital chirping) - [Luis] This is probably single handedly one of the greatest things that the Navy could do for this country. - [Narrator] For Lou Elizondo, the new Navy policy is confirmation of everything he's worked for over the past year. It's also an admission the UFO phenomenon is real and needs to be studied. - They're writing policy that, rather than keeping people quiet will encourage people to come forward. Keep in mind that the topic of UAP's just a year and a half ago, people were snickering and laughing, right, that was relegated to B Hollywood movies and to TV shows and now people are having a real conversation. - [Narrator] The Navy's new UFO policy was first reported by Politico's Brian Bender. - Lou Elizondo, Chris Mellon and others have come forward to try and get the Pentagon leadership to do more about this, to apply real resources to try and figure out, is it real, is it an adversary, is it something else? Where that will lead I think remains to be seen. (dramatic music) - Hello there. - Howdy, Jess, how are you? - Fine. - Hate to break up the party. - What's happening? - But Tom I normally wouldn't do this but if you got a couple of minutes I need to give you a quick update on a recent development. - Let's do it. - So, Tom this just hit the wire, this is a Politico article, the title is U.S. Navy Drafting New Guidelines for Reporting UFO's. Can you read the subtitle? - That's insane. The fact that they're coming out now and they're saying that this is real and there's incursions over our sensitive sites, we're putting together a national security policy to track them, it's like insane to me. - That's to report them. So you're absolutely right. I think you can break it down to three things. - My heart's beating fast insane to me. It's crazy. - I'm pretty energized. There's three pieces to this article that I find most captivating, A: that the Navy is taking this seriously, B: it's establishing an official reporting mechanism and C:, that they have been talking with members of Congress and their staff. And that only vindicates a lot of the hard work that's been going on behind the scenes but also I think it's a testament to the brave men and women in the U.S. Navy who want to figure out what these things are. I mean, Tom, this has been the culmination of all my personally, all my effort, you know I never did this for fame or status or damn sure not a paycheck, I'm doing this because I was trying to fix a broken system, right and as I've told people before the only thing I managed to accomplish in my entire new career moving forward is getting a reporting mechanism established so people can report these things without fear of any type of retribution or any type of consequences professionally, losing their security clearance or losing their flight status, right, all the things that were bottle necking me before - [Tom] Right. from having reports come out. That is the only thing I ever truly what, that was mission success for me and here we are literally a year and a half later of you coming on stage and telling the world you're going to do this, it happened. - It's absolutely wild, exciting stuff. - Hey man, hug. - An Air Force interest in this problem has been due to our feeling of an obligation to identify and analyze to the best of our ability anything in the air that may have the possibility of threats or menace to the United States. - At this point, these things are coming up close and personal. We are being forced to address it. We don't have the luxury to sit back anymore as a country and say, oh let's not pay attention to that, we have to pay attention to it. Because now it appears to be stalking some of our duty assets. - [Bryan] At base, these are reports from pilots, from military pilots in the Navy today or very recently in the Navy that have seen these phenomenon and reported them. - I was a witness to something, it's something that I happened to encounter, I don't know what it was. People ask me, what do you think it was? Do you think it was of this earth, do you think it was the aliens? (ominous music) - If these things are out there we know they're out there there's enough credible that says there's things that we don't understand. I can tell you that the other people that were involved all feel the same way. Not everyone is talking, some of them are still on active duty but we all would love to know what it is, I mean, I wanna know, I would love to fly it. - This is the story of the millennia, this is changing the world stuff. This really is in my heart like I am a part of something, I created something that has an opportunity to change the world and I really feel that, that is why I'm doing this. For the first time in the history of our country and in the history of this subject the stigma and the taboo nature about it just got shattered to a thousand pieces in the wind. (ominous music) - [Chris] We have an intelligence collection apparatus that is global in nature and exquisite from 22,500 miles above the earth's surface to virtually the deepest levels of the ocean that may already have answers to many of the questions that we have. My hope is that members of Congress will simply ask the right questions. They have an opportunity when this information is provided to them to respond to it and act on it. (ominous music) - [Pres. Reagan] I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. - The day will come when this occurs to you that it's real, that's there's some other intelligence here. That it's far more advanced than us. That it could do whatever it wants to us and we'd be powerless against it. (dramatic music) (digital chirping) - At the end of the day I don't care if you believe it, I know what I've seen. - This stands as a reminder for everything that we do and how important it is, the job of every man and woman and civilian, sailor, soldier, airman in the military. We do what we do because of this and this is a reminder of that sacrifice. - I'm extremely optimistic that in a very short period of time, we're gonna finally have answers and resolution to some long standing questions. We have access to people, to efforts like never before, to places we could never go before, maybe we could even build some things. I think we're gonna have new events that America has never been made aware of. We're gonna build this case so airtight that not only is it a beyond reasonable doubt situation, it will be irrefutable. (slow music) I think we're upon a precipice. I think the time has finally come. - [Producer] And one last question: do you think the public can handle the truth? (dramatic music)
