Project UFO 2x06 - Sighting 4019 The Believe It Or Not Incident
Transcript
00:00These are unidentified flying objects.
00:24Are they proof that we are being visited by civilizations from other stars?
00:38Or just what are they?
03:24This is a test.
03:34This is a test.
03:44How long do you think we've been sitting here?
04:01Not as long as the fish.
04:04Must be noon.
04:06Feels like midnight.
04:08Don't be so impatient, Captain.
04:10The object of fishing is to get away from the high pressures of everyday living.
04:14You can't do that if you're going to be hog-tied to the time schedule.
04:19Captain, you're absolutely right, Sergeant.
04:23The operative word is relax.
04:32Seems there just ain't no place to hide anymore, Captain.
04:38If I really hit these oars, I might be able to make camp by sunset.
05:08Who's this Professor Fiedler that reported a sighting?
05:27He's with the Hollenbeck Institute of Technology.
05:30It's outside of Salt Lake City. You ever hear of it?
05:32They don't have a football team. I know that.
05:34No, sir.
05:36It's an impressive place. Kind of small.
05:38Poor man's MIT, Caltech.
05:42And he claims he saw a space vehicle 300 yards long?
05:45It wasn't actually Professor Fiedler.
05:47Good morning.
05:48It was one of his students.
05:50A graduate student named Roy Layton.
05:53Okay, 3,900 pounds of fuel, two red diagonals.
05:56Thanks, Sarge.
05:57Why don't you get buckled in while I do the walk-around?
05:59Yes, sir.
06:09Captain?
06:10Yo.
06:11Why didn't this Layton report the sighting himself?
06:14Good question, Harry.
06:17It's at the top of my list.
06:46Have you recorded the results, Fred?
07:09Yeah.
07:10Got them.
07:11Okay, then let's repeat the test, shall we?
07:13Okay, all the way to the bottom.
07:14Right.
07:15Sir?
07:16Yes?
07:17Captain Ryan, it's Sergeant Fitz from Project Blue Book.
07:20Oh, how do you do? What can...
07:22Fred, turn that off, please.
07:23Okay.
07:27Yeah, thanks.
07:29Now, what can I, uh...
07:30Oh, Project Blue Book. Yes, of course.
07:33How do you do?
07:35Excuse me, I sometimes get all wrapped up in what I'm doing.
07:38Is there some place we can talk privately, Professor?
07:40Oh, it's all right. You can talk in front of me.
07:42Roy told me all about it.
07:43Oh.
07:44Were you there, sir, at the sighting?
07:46You mean the alleged sighting?
07:47Correct me if I'm wrong, Major, but...
07:49You're wrong. I'm a captain.
07:51Sure.
07:52But it's still only a reported sighting until it's confirmed.
07:55That's what Blue Book's all about, isn't it?
07:58Sort of.
07:59But either way, alleged or real,
08:01you weren't there, is that right?
08:03No, he wasn't.
08:05Excuses, please, Fred.
08:07Sure, I've got some supplies to check up on.
08:09See you, gentlemen.
08:11He's a bright student.
08:12There's a lot of rivalry there between Roy and him.
08:15Why's that?
08:16Both men are going for their master's degree in mechanical engineering.
08:19Combustion efficiency.
08:20Also, both are candidates for teaching assistants.
08:24How did you get involved with the sighting, Professor?
08:26Well, Roy Layton just didn't want to contact you personally.
08:29He's that shy.
08:31He's extremely reliable, but just not very much self-confidence.
08:34He said nobody would believe him.
08:36Do you?
08:37Uh...
08:39Yes.
08:42Where can I find Roy Layton?
08:44About ten miles west of here, out on the salt flats.
09:13Good luck.
09:34Hello.
09:35Hi.
09:36I think you're looking for me.
09:38Roy Layton.
09:39Oh, hi, Roy.
09:40I'm Ben Ryan.
09:41We're from the book area that car sure was sifting sand. I had about one four six point three eight on that one
09:47That's the average both ways was this part of your master's program. Oh, yeah, that's the best part. It's a combustion efficiency
09:53That's we're after I think I see what I did wrong. I'm sorry. I lost my head. It's just shop time
09:59We stopped by the Institute and had a talk with professor Fiedler
10:03Yeah, yeah, I know
10:06Look the whole thing's so outrageous. I know you're not gonna believe what I have to say Roy
10:09We make it a practice not to prejudge witnesses. If you don't mind, we'd like to record your statement. I
10:16Was on my way home it was late about one o'clock in the morning I
10:21was tired but
10:24Didn't affect my judgment at all
10:39I
11:09I
11:39I
12:09I
12:39I
13:09I
13:39I
14:09I
14:39I
15:09I
15:39I
16:05Who have you told about this besides professor Fiedler and Fred Paisley
16:10You met Fred, huh, who else right?
16:15Hi, just my mother
16:17She's the only other one that knows
16:19When did all this happen?
16:22Which time the first time of the second time?
16:24I
16:34First time was about a week ago and the second was night for last
16:38Where did the second sighting occur same place as the first did you know they were coming back?
16:43Oh sure. They gave me the exact time and date. I
16:47Don't think I understand this right now
16:49You you knew exactly when they were coming back and you didn't make any attempt to take along a witness
16:53You didn't even bring a camera
16:55Captain they want me to come alone. Frankly. I didn't even think about bringing a camera. Why did they come back to second time?
17:01They want to see if I'd follow their instructions
17:04They weren't too pleased
17:23I
17:53I
18:23I
18:53I
19:23I
19:53I
20:00They come for another star system, well, they having a problem breathing our air
20:04They want me to go before the public and tell them if they don't correct the situation
20:07They're gonna move up their timetable and take over even if it means using force
20:24Oh
20:28Right over that hill captain
20:32Who feels a little weird somebody's watching us
20:40What are you gonna be looking for any piece of physical evidence it'll substantiate your story
20:53You
21:03Wait, wait, wait
21:07Yeah
21:09That's what it was
21:11Right there when I first saw it. Let's get a shot, sir
21:15Then I turned to run that's when the green light stopped me
21:24Did they say if or when they'd be back again
21:29No, not that time they'll be back
21:33No, they will
21:40Okay, Harry, let's take a look
21:54You
22:01Sergeant over here
22:05Look at this
22:08It's uh
22:10Let's get some pictures before we leave and uh and take some penetrometer readings and take soil samples for granular construction
22:20Yes, sir
22:22Kevin look at that rock formation over there
22:39Boulders
22:41Took more than the jolly green giant to roll him over
22:44Hey captain, you're finding things aren't you evidence? Huh? Maybe right? Maybe what do you mean? Maybe?
22:51Well, it's not an exact science. We're dealing with here Roy
22:54Samples were taken will be sent back to right Pat for analysis and evaluation
22:58understand
22:59Well, I understand
23:01It's very clear, but there's one thing you don't understand. I
23:05Was here that night
23:08And I saw it
23:21Harry what's your gut feeling about Roy Layton?
23:28Well, I think he's a nice enough fellow captain and intelligent
23:32But if I had to make a judgment now, I reckon I chalk it up to an overactive imagination
23:37They say that goes along with genius
23:40could be
23:43But until we get those test results back from right Patterson
23:51Oh
23:54That's captain right? Oh, thank you. Hello Libby. I wasn't sure you'd still be in the office
23:59Well, I figured you'd be sending samples back here tonight. So I thought I'd stick around for a while
24:05It'd be a long while. They won't be going out for an hour. I
24:08Think you ought to have them with breakfast
24:11Okay with any luck. We should get the results back to you by tomorrow night for dinner
24:16Sooner the better. We just got a report of another sighting
24:20Happened last night in Provo, Utah from the description of the vehicle. There could be a tie-in
24:27Give me the address. We'll check it out when we finish here. It's on the outskirts
24:325 2 2 5 Mountain Road and the name is Hammond
24:37Got it Hammond
24:40Provo
24:42Thanks Libby and thanks for staying late. Good night boss
24:49What's in Provo a sighting
24:52Tie-in, maybe hey at least tomorrow free. There's a trout stream up in the mountains. There's also Carol Leighton Roy's mother lucky trout
25:00Oh
25:10Roy is very special different as a boy. He kept to himself a lot and
25:17books
25:19always studying I
25:21Think it was a way to avoid life people making decisions
25:27What about now he's an engineer and
25:32A dreamer just like his father. I wouldn't be much of a world without dreamers with it man. It depends on the dreams
25:40Maybe Roy get some of that from you. I mean being psychic takes a lot of imagination
25:46Roy is like his father not me. I'm sorry ma'am. I didn't mean to will you excuse me, please?
25:53Do you think it's possible that Roy might just have dreamed this whole thing up it's entirely possible
26:00Captain why would he lie? I
26:04Don't know unless it's to cover up the things he isn't
26:23Well captain, where are we like the man said all I know is what I read in the papers look at this
26:30Roy Leighton Hollenbeck Institute of Technology graduate student has reported a strange encounter with an alien spacecraft
26:39Now, why would a purportedly shy lad?
26:43Suddenly decided to give that story to the papers
26:52I
27:03How's it going right? Oh
27:06Fine just experimenting with my new carburetor design
27:11Eventually, uh, it'll reduce pollution
27:14Roy, why did you give that story to the papers? I
27:17I
27:21Didn't I don't know how they got it
27:26Besides everything that I told you everything happened exactly the way I told you what happened
27:35Look as far as me wanting publicity, that's the least thing I want right now. I
27:43Did not plant that story in the paper captain I swear
27:46I
27:50Okay, Roy, I believe you let's go sergeant
28:06It's about it Kevin, let's just say I'm in a holding pattern hearing until we get those test results back right Patterson
28:13Captain
28:16My man booth
28:17I'm a friend of Roy's. I'm captain Ryan and this is sergeant Fitz. I know Roy told me all about both of you gentlemen. I
28:25Think you ought to know that Roy is telling the truth about that UFO
28:30How do you know that?
28:32Well, could we go in here and be private sure
28:37What did you do to your ankle? I sprained it. Oh, I'm sorry
28:42I
28:47About a week ago Roy brought me home from a date. It was a little after midnight when he left
28:52He was back an hour and a half later, and he was frightened and upset. I
28:58Love you Roy, I know and I believe you
29:05But if you try to tell this story to anybody else they're gonna think you're mad yeah, I know that
29:13Look, I just don't know. I don't know what they're gonna do if I don't follow their instructions and don't go back there
29:18Do you think that's gonna stop them?
29:21Look if they want me there's no place on this earth that I can hide
29:25Then we'll go back together. No, no. Yes, Roy. I have to
29:31Yeah, they see you out there they might not even show up at all
29:37Just wait till I'm alone to get me that's all
29:40Well, I'll wait in the car they won't see me if I'm in the car at least I can be close by
29:52All right, don't don't say anything about this way
29:57I
30:00Won't
30:07The next couple of days were like a nightmare for Roy we hardly even saw each other except here at school
30:13What happened when the time came to go out there again?
30:16Well Roy picked me up early just like we were going out on a date
30:20We went out to dinner, but he couldn't eat anything
30:24And we just drove around for a while and then at about 1 in the morning we went out to the place
30:47Please
30:49Let me come with you you stay here, I'll leave the keys to the car if I don't
30:54If I don't come back
30:55You take it and you get out of here
31:19I
31:49I
32:19I
32:21I
32:47Whatever it was that was there was suddenly gone
32:52And you didn't actually see the UFO yourself
32:56No
32:57But there is no doubt in my mind now that Roy was telling the truth
33:02Whenever I think this whole thing was just a dream I
33:06Have this to remind me that it really happened
33:10I'm afraid that's everything I can tell you. That's all I know but
33:15It's all true. Well, thank you for contacting us miss Booth
33:21We'll be in touch
33:25Wait there is something else captain
33:52Is that what Roy heard that night, yes, how did you manage to get it on tape?
33:58Well Roy's hobby is music. He tried different timpani instruments until he came up with a set of tuned gourds
34:04They were the closest to what it was. He heard that night and then I taped it. Have you played this for anyone else?
34:10No, Roy's afraid. He'd be laughed at
34:14You see that's what's important. It's not what you think of me, but Roy what this could do to his career
34:20You see this is the time of year when big automobile companies come out to interview candidates for important engineering jobs
34:26The competition is pretty fierce
34:29Roy's near the top of his class isn't yes, but they consider character and stability almost as much as they do talent
34:37This whole UFO business could really hurt him. It's Fred Paisley in this competition
34:42Yes, just as much as Roy is I warned Roy not to turn his back on him
34:48Oh, it would mean a great deal to Roy if you could confirm his story any great deal to project blue book if we could to
34:59I guess that just about does it Libby. Did you check out that Provo sighting yet captain?
35:03No, we didn't have time to get down there today tomorrow probably
35:06Thanks again Libby. Good night. Good night
35:11What we got puzzle
35:13Radiation negative, but the soil test indicated a small trace of fossil fuel residue could declassify. Yeah fast
35:21diesel fuel
35:22diesel
35:23That ought to be easy enough to run down
35:26Penetrometer readings in the soil compaction index showed that a combined weight of 50,000 pounds was registered and
35:32The invitation was made by something in motion not standing still Harry. Remember those tread like marks. Yes, sir. Like on a farm tractor
35:44Operator will you give me the Utah State Highway Commission?
35:47Thank you
35:48Hello, sir. My name is Captain Ben Ryan, United States Air Force project blue book
35:53Could you tell me if there's been any road construction work in the Skull Valley section of the interstate recently? I
35:58See and thank you very much
36:02What gives one down here?
36:04There was some heavy earth moving equipment working the area six months ago. And you know where the equipment staging area was
36:10Now Roy sightings all occurred at about the same time each morning 1 a.m. Give or take a few minutes right on schedule
36:16And what runs on schedule?
36:24Operator will you get me the Mid-Mountain Railroad Station the dispatcher's office, please?
36:30Hello, I'm Captain Ben Ryan United States Air Force
36:32Could you tell me if you have any regularly scheduled traffic moving east or west on your line after midnight?
36:38Yes, sir. And thank you
36:42It's round two Harry one to go
36:49That's me again, would you give me the Hill Air Force Base operator? Thank you
36:53Harry you remember our weather briefing for the flight out here?
36:56No, thank you operator. Would you bring me the Air Force meteorology section, please?
37:00Hello lieutenant. I'm Captain Ben Ryan project blue book
37:03I need the lapse rate readouts for the Skull Valley area of Utah for the past two weeks. Yeah
37:10No, thank you. Thank you very much
37:14Harry
37:17We may just about have the whole enchilada
37:20maybe
37:23You
37:31Would you find out odds and ends bits and pieces you're just gonna have to trust me, right?
37:34Captain, thanks. They can have it all together for you Roy at Oh 100 hours tomorrow morning
37:39He means 1 a.m.
37:41That's the same time. I saw them out there both times and in the same place and that's where we're going
37:48What if you're wrong captain
37:50What if I miss this opportunity, you know
37:53He's aliens they won't understand we've got a pretty good baton average of blue book Roy
37:58All right, good
38:00We'll pick you up at 12 o'clock tonight
38:03He means 2,400 hours Roy
38:20That boulder
38:21Those others that were moved
38:24And the ground that was compacted by some tremendous force
38:27There's an explanation for that Roy what tipped us off was the diesel fuel long before your sighting
38:32This was a staging area for earth hauling equipment used to build the interstate highway
38:36Some of those rigs have tires 12 feet high like turning the herd of elephants loose. All right
38:43Okay. What about what I saw with my own eyes, huh?
38:46you give us about
38:4930 seconds if it's on time right look up a low cloud layer there
38:56It's also a double temperature inversion just as there was in the night you had those sightings
39:02Now it's still hanging over. We checked with the weather station. Look, I'm an engineer. I'm not a meteorologist now look up
39:19What you're seeing is the distorted reflection of that train I don't believe it
39:35Come on with me the top of the hill fast
39:37Come on with me the top of the hill fast
39:47Now there
39:53With a double inversion, it's like reflecting light off a series of undulating mirrors and they keep moving
40:00And that's what gives away the effect
40:08I remember there are two layers. It doesn't happen very often. No
40:14But I saw that night was bigger and brighter and more real
40:38I
40:48Spread
40:58Yes, hello, sir, Ben Ryan Harry Fitz from project blue book, I'm Arthur Hammond I'm glad to see you gentlemen, come on in
41:05Thank you
41:08You'll have to forgive the mess
41:11My wife and the girls are in Europe. There's only me and Charlie
41:18Won't you sit down, please?
41:25Is it all right if we tape our conversation mr. Hammond, oh, I don't mind
41:36It
41:38Was three nights ago I
41:41Was coming home from a meeting. It was about 10 o'clock and I stopped at the gate to check on the mail
41:53When out of the corner of my eye I saw what I thought was a shooting star
42:05I
42:35I
43:05I
43:35I
44:05I
44:35I
45:05I
45:35I
45:52Must have been as long as two three football fields. Tell us about the sound you heard sir like a heavy vibration
46:00That's all you're sure not odd not like someone
46:07Striking something hollow a
46:10Gourd Oh nothing like that
46:12Besides I was in the basement with my hands over my ears
46:17one more question sir
46:21Do you know a
46:23Roy Layton, no, I never heard of him
46:27Oh, we thank you very much for your cooperation, mr. Hammond, we'll be in touch sir. Thanks to you both
46:42Goodbye sir. Bye
46:44Bye sir. Bye
46:47Well captain
46:48What was out there? Huh?
46:51Do you have any idea?
46:54No, sir. I
46:56don't
47:26I
47:56You
