Ancient Aliens

A fiery object

crashes into the Earth

and ignites the modern UFO era.

It would become the absolute touchstone event

and the best‐known event in the world

connecting our reality to the E.T. phenomenon.

For more than seven decades,

the Army has denied what it initially reported...

that it had recovered a flying disc.

But could evidence of such an event still exist?

‐Oh, my God. There is something there,

and we need to dig it up.

Are there remnants of alien technology

scattered in the New Mexico desert?

I think he's holding something

made by another intelligence.

I have never, ever seen anything like this.

And could materials

already recovered soon reveal the truth

about an extraterrestrial presence on Earth?

There's something big going on here.

I'm getting chills because we've got some elements

that are showing up... they shouldn't be there.

If the evidence has not yet been

uncovered, that does not mean the evidence

is not there.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Los Angeles, California.

October 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos...

‐Hey, Linda. ‐...is meeting up

with investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe

at a secure storage facility.

‐All right, let's do it. ‐Let's go.

For more than two decades,

Linda has been in possession of highly unusual metal fragments

given to her by someone who claims

they were extracted from an extraterrestrial craft.

‐Man, this is some door.

Okay.

Well, over the years,

I've learned that this is really

‐pretty valuable. ‐Right.

And that I better keep it in something

‐like a safety deposit box. ‐Right.

In recent months,

the United States Army has taken an interest

in doing its own examination of these materials.

Linda is eager to show Giorgio just what it is

that has caught the Army's attention.

Here is where the magic bismuth magnesium zinc resides.

There it is, inside the magic box.

Yeah. Here, I'll take it over here and show it to you.

I have found,

since having this

in 1996

and evolving with research, that

it has become now so valuable.

What am I looking at, Linda? What is this?

Well, here is...

You see all these layers?

‐Yeah. ‐When you go to a scanning

‐electron microscope... ‐Huh.

...and you see that the black,

the black side... it's pure bismuth,

and it's one to four microns, which is about

half the size of a blood cell,

and then it's alternating just like a torte cake.

‐TSOUKALOS: Yeah. ‐And the top silver...

that's the magnesium‐zinc alloy.

‐Okay. ‐So,

layer by layer by layer in microns.

It's almost as if it's reflective, too.

Yes, and when you get it

in the sun, it looks like a snowfield.

And that's the magnesium zinc.

In addition to this layered material,

Linda also has an unusual piece of aluminum.

As I understand

from a physicist, it is this

pure aluminum, 99.5% pure aluminum.

As far as I know, we can't produce 99 point...

I mean, this is incredibly pure.

So where were these pieces allegedly found?

These came out of White Sands

in New Mexico, outside of Roswell.

Is there a connection to Roswell with this piece?

In July of 1947,

an unidentified flying object

crashed to Earth in the desert

just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

It is today the most famous UFO event on record,

in part because it was the Army itself

that reported the craft as a flying disc.

July 8 and 9, the newspaper headlines...

"Army Captures Flying Disc Outside of Roswell."

How did the newspaper get that story? Walter Haut.

He was the official public information officer

at the Roswell 509th, who gave the story to the newspaper.

But the military

quickly walked back its story.

Within days, the mysterious Roswell UFO

was given an earthly origin, when the government claimed

that the downed craft was merely a weather balloon.

They changed it and said

it was a weather balloon and everything else.

They said they took it

to Wright‐Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

When you really think about this,

why on earth would anyone send any kind

of weather balloon to Wright Field for technical analysis?

None of it makes any sense whatsoever,

unless that material was much more exotic

and much more scientifically interesting

than just a mere balloon.

When you look

at the whole Roswell incident,

it seems to be a recovery that

was very much a scrambled ad hoc thing.

And, in fact, witnesses had been to the crash site

before the military got there.

So in the chaos of trying to clean up this crash site,

you have to wonder that whether they would really get it all.

Where would this material

actually go?

And would they have left some of it behind,

just by accident?

In April 2011,

the FBI released thousands of files

as part of its online FBI vault,

including a 1950 briefing

to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover

regarding informant information

about three flying saucers

that were recovered in New Mexico.

Many researchers believe

this corroborates long‐standing rumors

that the Roswell incident involved not one

but three crashed UFOs.

And there were numerous other incidents reported

during that time period in the area

of Roswell and White Sands Proving Ground

that remain mostly unknown.

You look at where the world today, when they think

of a UFO crash, they think of Roswell.

‐Mm‐hmm. ‐Certainly there have been crashes

in New Mexico outside of Roswell.

We know that there were a lot of UFO crashes going

from the '40... like, '47, '48, '49, and so forth.

How did you come into possession of these pieces?

Well, I'll never forget the day that Art Bell called me,

and he said, "Linda, I received a box

with a letter, and there's some metal pieces in here."

He said, "I think they're aluminum,

but I want you to start investigating."

That would have been in 1996, that spring.

Art Bell was the founder

and original host of the long‐running,

paranormal‐themed radio program Coast to Coast AM.

In 1996, he and Linda began

to receive shipments in the mail

of small metallic fragments.

We started getting two shipments

coming from a man who identified himself

in a series of five typed letters.

And he said he was an Army sergeant,

that his grandfather had died in 1974,

and had left a box that had a diary and metals.

And the Army sergeant said,

"I want you to have this and see what you can find out."

The letters detail

how the grandfather extracted the metallic items

from a wedge‐shaped craft

while working as a member of a recovery crew

between Roswell and White Sands Proving Ground in 1948.

Art Bell turned over these mysterious fragments and letters

to Linda Moulton Howe for further study.

In June of 1996,

Linda commissioned university researchers

to use a scanning electron microscope

and a technique known as "X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry"

to analyze the samples.

The analysis revealed alternating microscopic layers

of the metals bismuth, magnesium and zinc

only microns thick,

a combination that baffles exotic metal experts.

I think we've got technology that we didn't make.

A lot of people have come forward

with bits and pieces of the same tale.

We are presently analyzing metamaterials

that we did not make,

that's created in a way that is beyond our technology.
