· 約98分

前置き​

Paranormal Media の Robert Kiviat が制作した　"Best UFO Cases Caught On Tape"(2007) と題された動画を AI で整理した。内容は独立して撮影された UFO の動画を寄せ集めたもの。

コメント​

動画内の解説者も、撮影者も、

  • 人類の技術レベルを超越した ET （∋未知の知性体）の飛行装置を撮影した証拠だ

としている。だが、これらの撮影された「UFO」の正体は（あからさまな誤認や捏造を除けば）、その大半が orb/大気中の発光現象 であることを強く示唆する内容となっている。

見慣れた映像も多いが、珍しい映像も含まれている。切り出し静止画を添付したいところだが、時間が取れない。

補足​

David Sereda が登場している。彼は、

David Sereda が経歴詐称して John Hutchison の擁護役を買って出た。 (2020-09-22)

で述べたように経歴詐称の前歴がある。そして、この動画でも経歴詐称して former Defense Department subcontractor だとしている。当然、その David Sereda がこの動画で が主張していることはデタラメな思いつきでしかない。

[David Serida] : Franklin, we see a long line. When I saw the tape, I realized that I was looking at very exciting, incredible footage that has never before been seen by the public. (00:22:30)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : David Sirita, a former Defense Department subcontractor, has been studying NASA's possible interest in UFOs for over 15 years. And he believes this incident, which has since become legendary on the Internet as the Tether Incident, may prove UFOs are real. February 25th, 1996. 100 miles above Africa, an experimental satellite system attached to a 12-mile-long electricity-conducting tether suddenly breaks. Within moments, the satellite drifts almost 100 miles away. Nitrogen gas gathers around the tether, effectively turning it into a gigantic fluorescent light in space. (00:23:10)

衝撃UFOビデオの検証：主要テーマと専門家分析

エグゼクティブ・サマリー​

本文書は、2007年のドキュメンタリー「Best UFO Cases Caught On Tape」の記録に基づき、ビデオに撮影された未確認飛行物体（UFO）に関する主要な目撃事例、専門家の分析、および中心的なテーマを統合したものである。このドキュメンタリーは、世界中で増加するUFO目撃報告と、それを記録するビデオカメラの普及という現象を検証している。

本資料から得られる主要な洞察は以下の通りである。

  1. ビデオ証拠の重要性: 一般市民が所有するビデオカメラが、UFO現象を記録し、分析するための重要なツールとなっている。UFOハンターと呼ばれる人々は、議会での公聴会開催などを目指し、決定的な証拠を撮影しようと積極的に活動している。
  2. 専門家による多角的な分析: 映像は、海軍光学物理学者、特殊効果スーパーバイザー、航空会社の機長といった専門家によって分析される。彼らの見解は、捏造の可能性（例：ニューヨークの世界貿易センターの映像）や既知の物体（例：ドイツの飛行船）の誤認を指摘する一方で、一部の映像については「説明不可能」であり、人類の既知の技術を超えている可能性を示唆している。
  3. 世界的な現象: UFO目撃は特定の地域に限定されず、アメリカ（アリゾナ、フロリダ）、メキシコ、イスラエル、中国、ドイツ、ペルー、エクアドルなど、世界中で報告されている。特にアリゾナ州フェニックス、フロリダ州ガルフ・ブリーズ、そしてイスラエルでは、特徴的で不可解な目撃が集中している。
  4. 政府・軍の関与の可能性: 映像や証言の中には、UFO出現後に軍用機（F-15）が現場に現れる様子や、NASAが「宇宙ゴミ」と説明する物体の不可解な動き、イスラエル空軍がUFOを追跡しているという元軍人の証言など、政府や軍がこの現象を認識し、関与している可能性を示唆するものが含まれている。
  5. 信憑性への問い: すべての映像が本物とは限らない。番組内でも、ネバダ州の芸術祭で撮影された映像や、メキシコのカルロス・ディアス氏による一連の映像など、捏造の可能性が議論されている事例が取り上げられている。

総じて、このドキュメンタリーは、UFO現象が単なる憶測や逸話ではなく、分析と議論の対象となる具体的な「映像証拠」として存在することを示している。しかし、その解釈は依然として多様であり、地球外生命体の宇宙船、極秘の軍事兵器、あるいは巧妙な捏造といった様々な可能性が併存している。

ビデオ証拠の台頭とUFOハンターの出現​

ドキュメンタリーは、近年、世界中の人々からUFOの目撃報告が増加しており、ビデオカメラがこれらの不可解な飛行物体を数百件も捉えているという現状から始まる。この現象を背景に、「UFOハンター」と呼ばれる人々が出現している。

  • クリス・ミラー（UFOビデオグラファー）: 彼の活動の動機は、祖父から受け継いだエーリッヒ・フォン・デニケンの「古代宇宙飛行士説」の証拠を見つけることだった。彼は、自身の撮影した映像が海軍情報局によって4ヶ月間研究されたが、「物体が何であるか全くわからない」というコメントしか得られなかったと述べている。彼は、これらの目撃が一般市民を徐々に慣れさせるための「脱感作プロセス」の一部である可能性を指摘し、多くの人々がビデオを撮影し、議会に提出することで真実が明らかになることを望んでいる。
  • トーマス・サボウリン（UFOハンター）: 1990年代初頭のフロリダ州ガルフ・ブリーズの映像に衝撃を受け、自らカメラを手にUFOの撮影を開始した。「テープに収めることが私の仕事になった」と語る彼は、物語を聞くのではなく、映像として「見たい」という探求心を強調している。

主要な目撃事例と分析

ドキュメンタリーでは、世界各地で撮影された特に注目すべきUFO映像が紹介され、専門家による分析が加えられている。

フェニックス、アリゾナ州：UFO活動のホットスポット

アリゾナ州フェニックスは、専門家によればアメリカで最もUFO活動が活発な都市の一つとされる。ビデオグラファーのジェフ・ウィリスは、この地で数々の不可解な物体を撮影している。

  • ドーム型の飛行機械（2003年5月24日）: ウィリスが自宅の外で撮影した鮮明な映像。円盤状の物体が側面を向け、ドームが見える状態で家の上空を通過。突如Uターンし、約1.5マイル（約2.4km）を一瞬で跳躍し姿を消した。ウィリスはこれを「我々が夢見ることしかできない推進システムで動く、構造化された金属製の機械」と断言している。
    • 専門家の見解: 航空会社機長でUFOコンサルタントのジム・クーラントは、この映像を「議会の公聴会に持ち込むとしたら、おそらくこれを選ぶ」と高く評価。「ハイテク機器による分析で、そこに何かが存在することが示されている。金属製で、間違いなく反重力型の乗り物だ」と述べている。
  • その他の目撃事例:
    • 2004年12月11日: ホバリングする円盤の上を、別の奇妙な物体が危険なほど近くをかすめて自由落下するように通過する様子を撮影。
    • 2005年5月24日: ドーム型円盤の目撃から2年後の同じ日に、金属製で未知の飛行特性を持つ物体を撮影。物体は2つに分裂したかのように見える。
    • 夜間の三角形編隊（2005年5月12日）: 遠方に4つの光が三角形に現れ、そのうち2つが消えて残りの2つの前方に再出現するなど、不可解な動きを見せた。この現象の約2分後には、F-15戦闘機が同エリアを旋回する様子も記録されており、軍の関与が示唆されている。
    • オーブの編隊飛行: 別の夜には、複数のオーブが出現・消滅を繰り返し、6分間にわたって三角形などの編隊を組む様子を3台の異なるカメラで撮影することに成功した。

ガルフ・ブリーズ、フロリダ州：一連の注目すべき事件

1980年代後半から1990年代にかけて、フロリダ州ガルフ・ブリーズ周辺ではUFOの目撃が多発し、その多くが映像に記録されている。

  • 1987年の目撃: 地元の男性が撮影した写真とビデオが町の新聞社に持ち込まれ、大きな注目を集めた。
    • 専門家の見解: 海軍光学物理学者のブルース・マカビー博士は、映像を詳細に分析した結果、「その形状、構造、動き方は、人類が作るいかなる乗り物の特徴とも異なる」と結論付けている。
  • 1993年の目撃:
    • 加速する物体: 地元住民が撮影した映像には、ミサイルや既知の投射物とは思えない物体が驚異的な速度で加速する様子が記録されている。
    • シリンダー（円筒）型UFO: UFO調査員のマイケル・ホーキンスが、エグリン空軍基地に近いレッドフィッシュ・ポイントで撮影。彼は当初軍の乗り物かと考えたが、最終的には「何らかのエイリアンの探査機かもしれない」と感じたと語る。
    • クリスマスツリー型UFO: 3人の異なる撮影者が、それぞれ別の角度から同じ「クリスマスツリー型」の奇妙な物体を撮影。物体は濃い煙のようなものを放出し、カメラに向かって強烈な光線を照射した。
  • 舷窓のあるUFO: ホーキンスが後に撮影した未公開映像では、舷窓が並んだ円盤状の物体が至近距離で捉えられている。彼は息を切らしながら撮影を続け、物体が「瞬き一つで」消え去る瞬間を記録した。

NASAの宇宙空間での映像：公式見解と反論

ドキュメンタリーは、NASAのスペースシャトルミッション中に撮影された映像も取り上げ、公式見解に疑問を呈している。

  • テザー（Tether）事件（1996年2月25日）: 長さ12マイル（約19km）の導電性テザーに接続された実験衛星が破損し、漂流。テザーの周りに窒素ガスが集まり、宇宙空間で巨大な蛍光灯のようになった結果、奇妙な物体を引き寄せたように見えた。
    • NASAの見解: 宇宙飛行士は「我々と共に飛ぶちょっとしたデブリ（宇宙ゴミ）」と説明している。
    • 反論: 元国防総省下請け業者のデビッド・セリダは、これをUFOであると主張。彼は、テザーの長さを基準に物体の大きさを直径約2〜3マイル（約3.2〜4.8km）と推定。さらに、物体が規則的に脈動すること、重力波を示唆する螺旋状の波を放出することなどを挙げ、「これらのUFOは非常に高度な重力エネルギーとゼロポイント・エネルギーを利用している証拠だ」と述べている。
  • その他のNASA映像:
    • 高速での鋭角ターン: 隕石では不可能な高速での鋭角ターンを行う物体が記録されている。セリダは「このようなターンにかかるG（重力加速度）は、どんな宇宙飛行士もパンケーキのように押しつぶしてしまうだろう」と指摘。
    • 知的な編隊形成: 複数の物体が円形に整列し、所定の位置に達すると発光するという、知的な制御を示唆する映像も紹介されている。

世界各地での目撃情報：グローバルな現象

UFO現象はアメリカだけでなく、世界中で報告されている。

  • 中国・ドイツ（1993-1995年）: 北京とシュトゥットガルトで、非常によく似た葉巻型の飛行物体が撮影された。
    • 専門家の見解: マカビー博士は、これらの映像を分析し、「内部に照明を持つ透明な外皮の飛行船の形状と酷似している」と結論付け、既知の物体である可能性が高いと指摘した。
  • ペルー（1999年）: 5ヶ月にわたるUFOの目撃多発期間中、リマ郊外で2人の写真家が同じ日の夜に同じ物体を撮影。翌晩には、別の町で同じ物体が40分間にわたりホバリングする様子が撮影された。
  • エクアドル（1995-1996年）:
    • シャンデリア型UFO: グアヤキル市で高校生が撮影。回転する構造物で、約500人が目撃したとされる。撮影者は「ヘリコプターでも飛行機でもあり得ない。信じられない光景だった」と語る。
    • 円形UFO: 翌年、首都キトで精巧な光の配列を持つ円形の物体が撮影された。
  • メキシコ:
    • 1991年7月11日の日食: メキシコ全土で数百人が日食中に金属質の円盤状物体を同時に撮影するという前代未聞の大量目撃が発生。これが1990年代を通じて続くメキシコのUFOウェーブのきっかけとなった。
    • 三角形UFO（1994年12月3日）: UFO研究家のサンティアゴ・イトゥリアが撮影。山から現れた巨大な赤く光る三角形の物体で、非常に静かに低空を飛行した。
  • イスラエル:
    • クファル・サバの物体（1996年9月）: 3夜連続で、リンゴのような形から王冠のような形へと姿を変える奇妙な物体が撮影された。マカビー博士は、カメラのオートフォーカスが不正確な場合に生じる光学的な歪みの可能性を指摘しつつも、物体自体がUFOである可能性は否定していない。
    • キブツ・ハツォルの「空飛ぶ建物」（1996年8月）: 3夜連続で、100人以上の住民が目撃。10代の少年が撮影したビデオには、赤いマーキングと長方形の形状を持つ、部分的に照らされた巨大な構造物が映っている。UFO研究家のバリー・ハミッシュは、これを「窓か通気口のようなものが2列ある非常に大きなUFO」と表現し、その大きさと奇妙な形状から、既知のいかなる航空機とも異なると主張している。
    • 軍用機との相互作用: 学生が撮影した映像では、軍用機とオーブが互いを追跡し合っているかのような「電子的な鬼ごっこ」が記録されている。
    • UFO同士の戦闘？（1996年9月28日）: 2つの物体が空中で衝突し、一方が消滅するように見える映像。ハミッシュは、破片や火花がないことから物理的な爆発ではなく、地球外の存在同士の戦闘の可能性を示唆している。

懐疑論、捏造の可能性、信憑性の問題​

ドキュメンタリーは、全ての映像を無批判に受け入れているわけではなく、捏造や誤認の可能性についても検証している。

事例状況と主張懐疑的な見解
ネバダ州の芸術祭参加者（Erech）が「ハリウッド映画のような宇宙船」を撮影。夜空に静止し、リムの周りをライトが回転している。特殊効果スーパーバイザー Itm McHugh: ライト彫刻を祝う祭りの最中だったため、クリスマスライトを付けた風船などの浮遊装置である可能性が高い。ただし、映像自体は後から合成されたものではなく、実際に空に存在したと分析。撮影者自身も「見事なエフェクトだ」と語っている。
世界貿易センター（1994年）イタリア人観光客がクルーズ船から、ツインタワーの横に巨大なUFOがホバリングしている様子を撮影。Itm McHugh: カメラマンは巨大UFOからカメラを逸らしており、音声には誰一人の驚きの声も入っていない。Bruce Maccabee: これほど巨大な物体であれば、撮影者はUFO団体に報告するはずだが、このビデオは長年「アンダーグラウンド」に留まっていた。
カルロス・ディアス（メキシコ）プロの写真家であるディアスが、自宅上空でオレンジ色に光るプラズマ状のUFOを撮影。非常に鮮明な映像も含まれる。後の映像は「出来すぎ」で捏造に見えるとの指摘がある（例：電球のように突然現れる、レーザービームを発射する）。Bruce Maccabee: 映像は家の窓越しに撮影されており、カメラのすぐ外に模型を吊るすことが容易に可能だったと指摘。
メテペックの宇宙人（メキシコ）女性が自宅横の野原で光る「宇宙人」のような存在を2度にわたり撮影したと主張。多くの専門家が困惑しており、その正体は謎のままであるとされている。

提唱される理論と結論​

ドキュメンタリーの終盤では、これらの映像が提起する疑問について、より広範な理論や考察が示される。

  • 政府の関与と隠蔽の可能性:
    • バリー・ハミッシュは、自身がイスラエル空軍に所属していた際、UFOを追跡している事実を誰にも話さないよう命じられていたと証言している。
    • クリス・ミラーの映像を海軍情報局が分析した事実や、NASAの公式説明への疑問は、政府機関がUFOの存在を認識しつつも、情報を公開していない可能性を示唆している。
  • 地球外生命体への関心と古代・聖書的関連性:
    • バリー・ハミッシュ: イスラエルにUFOが集中する現象について、「聖書には今日我々がUFOと呼ぶものが記述されている」と述べ、聖地が地球外生命体にとって特別な意味を持つ可能性を示唆している。
    • デビッド・セリダ: NASAの映像に映る中央に穴の開いた円盤状の物体が、中国の山中で発見された古代の石の円盤「ドロパ・ストーン」と酷似していると指摘。古代中国人が空で見たものを記録した工芸品ではないかと推測している。
  • 結論：ビデオカメラの役割と真実の探求:
    • ドキュメンタリーは、ビデオカメラがUFOの謎を解明する上で決定的なツールになる可能性を強調して締めくくられる。
    • ジャーナリストのマイケル・リンデマンは、「我々はこの謎にふさわしい種類の調査をまだ開始していないだけだ」と述べ、本格的な科学的調査の必要性を訴える。
    • UFOハンターたちは口を揃えて、「テープに記録されていなければ、それは100億ある物語の一つに過ぎない。我々は話を聞きたいのではなく、見たいのだ」と語り、視覚的証拠の決定的な重要性を強調している。

UFO 目撃・撮影事例（世界各地）​

AI

このソース（「衝撃UFOビデオの検証」の抜粋）は、UFO目撃・撮影事例（世界各地）について、‌‌ビデオカメラによって捉えられた驚くべき未確認飛行物体（UFO）の信憑性を検証し、それらが地球外生命体の乗り物なのか、隠された軍事技術なのか、あるいは巧妙な捏造（ホークス）なのかを視聴者に判断させる‌‌、というより大きな文脈で語っています。

ソースで提示される世界各地のUFO目撃・撮影事例に関する主要な論点は以下の通りです。

1. 驚異的な速度と構造を持つ飛行物体（主に米国）​

世界中で増加しているUFO目撃報告のうち、特に米国の事例が詳細に検証されています。

  • ‌‌フェニックス、アリゾナ州：‌‌ 多くの専門家が「全米のどの都市よりもUFO活動が活発」と主張する地域です。映像撮影者ジェフ・ウィリスは、‌‌ドーム型で金属製の円盤状の物体‌‌ を記録しており、その物体はUターンをしたり、‌‌約0.5秒の間に約1.5マイル（約2.4km）もジャンプ‌‌するほどの「驚異的な速度（extraordinary speed）」 を示しました。専門家はこれを「反重力型（anti-gravity type craft）」 で、人類が夢見ることしかできない推進システムで動いている と評価しています。
  • ‌‌ガルフブリーズ、フロリダ州：‌‌ 1987年以降の目撃例は、後のUFOハンターに影響を与えました。海軍光学物理学者のブルース・マカビー博士は、この映像に映る「形状、構造、動き方」は「人類が製造するいかなる航空機の特性とも異なる」 と述べています。また、‌‌一瞬で加速する銀色の筋状の物体‌‌ や、クリスマスツリー状の物体が強い光線をカメラに照射する映像 も記録されています。

2. 宇宙空間での知的な活動と先進技術​

地球上だけでなく、数百マイル上空でもUFOが撮影されています。特に1996年2月25日のテザー事件では、故障した衛星テザーの周りを‌‌UFOの群れが飛び交い‌‌、巨大な円盤がテザーの後ろを通過する様子が記録されました。

  • ‌‌驚異的なサイズと技術：‌‌ 映像上のUFOは非常に小さく見えますが、もし拡大すれば「巨大なサイズ」であることが分かるとされ、あるUFOはテザーの長さ（12マイル）と比較して‌‌直径約2～3マイル‌‌と測定されています。
  • ‌‌運動と知性：‌‌ これらの物体は、単なる宇宙ゴミ（スペースデブリ）では不可能な「規則的なパターンでの脈動」 や、宇宙飛行士を押しつぶすほどのGを伴う「高速での角度をつけたターン」 を行っています。さらに、UFOが組織化されたパターンで隊形を組み、順番に点灯する様子は「驚くべき知性」 を示していると指摘されています。

3. 世界各地での多様な目撃と解釈の対立​

UFOは世界中の主要な国々で撮影され続けています。

  • ‌‌アジアとヨーロッパの類似例：‌‌ 1995年2月3日の北京、中国 と、1993年5月29日のシュトゥットガルト、ドイツ で、類似した謎の飛行物体が記録されています。航空会社の機長は、これらが登録された航空機や飛行船ではないことを確認しましたが、光学物理学者は、内部に照明がある「飛行船（blimp）」の既知の形状と酷似している可能性を指摘しています。
  • ‌‌中南米の構造物：‌‌ 1995年のエクアドルでは、‌‌輝くシャンデリア‌‌ のような、構造を持ち回転する物体が撮影され、約500人が目撃したとされています。1994年のメキシコでは、巨大で赤く輝く三角形のUFOが低空で目撃されました。
  • ‌‌メキシコの日食と捏造疑惑：‌‌ 1991年7月11日の日食時、メキシコでは前例のない規模で金属製の円盤型UFOが複数の撮影者によって同時に記録されました。一方、メキシコのカルロス・ディアス氏による後の映像には、UFOが突然点灯したり、レーザービームが射出されたりする場面が含まれており、専門家からは「巧妙な捏造」の可能性、特に窓の外に何かを吊るした可能性 が疑われています。

4. イスラエル（聖地）での特異な事例​

イスラエルは、世界で最も謎めいたUFOの目撃が多い場所とされています。一部の研究者は、地球外生命体がイスラエルの安全保障に強い関心を持っている可能性さえ示唆しています。

  • ‌‌巨大な構造物：‌‌ 1996年8月にキブツ・ハツォール上空で3夜連続で目撃されたUFOは、一部が照明された‌‌巨大な構造物‌‌として記録されました。その照明された部分は、実際のサイズのわずか5～7%に過ぎないとされ、UFO研究者はこれを「窓や通気孔がある非常に大きなUFO」であり、聖書に記述される‌‌巨大な異星人‌‌と関連している可能性を主張しています。
  • ‌‌軍事的な関与：‌‌ イスラエル空軍はこの現象を否定していますが、研究者は空軍がUFOを常に追跡しており、ある映像には軍用機とUFOが相互作用する「電子的な猫とネズミのゲーム」 の様子が映っていると述べています。

5. 真実を求めるモチベーション​

このプログラム全体を通して、多くの映像撮影者やUFOハンターは、これらの謎を解明するために証拠を集めることに強い動機付けられています。彼らは、映像に記録しなければ「ただの100億の物語のうちの1つ」 になってしまうと考えており、ビデオカメラこそが真実を証明する道具だと信じています。海軍情報局ですら、一部の映像について「物体が何であるか分からない」 とコメントしており、政府や軍が一般に公開している技術よりも遥かに高度な技術が関わっている可能性が示唆されています。

UFO の飛行特性​

AI

UFOの特性と専門家の考察というより大きな文脈において、これらのソースは‌‌UFOの飛行特性が、既知の地球上の航空機や推進技術では説明できない、驚異的かつ高度な技術によって実現されている‌‌ことを一貫して示唆しています。

専門家や目撃者は、ビデオに記録されたUFOの動きについて、その‌‌速度、機動性、推進力、そして知的なパターン‌‌に焦点を当てて議論しています。

1. 驚異的な速度と瞬間的な移動能力​

UFOの最も顕著な飛行特性として、その「不可能な速度（impossible velocity）」 と瞬間移動に近い能力が挙げられています。

  • ‌‌信じられないほどの速度:‌‌ UFOは「驚異的な速度 (extraordinary speed)」 を示します。アリゾナ州フェニックスで撮影されたドーム型円盤は、Uターンをした後、「約0.5秒の間に約1.5マイル（約2.4km）もジャンプした」 と記録されています。
  • ‌‌一瞬の加速と消失:‌‌ フロリダ州ガルフブリーズでは、「瞬時の加速（instant acceleration）」 を伴う小さな銀色の筋状の物体が記録されています。また、別のケースでは、物体が「一瞬のうちに少なくとも20〜30マイル（約32〜48km）離れた空域へ移動し、消失した」 という証言もあります。
  • ‌‌瞬間的な消失:‌‌ UFOが「瞬きする間に消えてしまった」り、突然姿を消す 現象が頻繁に報告されています。

2. 未知の推進システムと反重力技術​

専門家は、これらの飛行特性が人類の科学では未達成の高度な技術に基づいていると考察しています。

  • ‌‌反重力型:‌‌ フェニックスのドーム型飛行物体について、専門家は「‌‌間違いなく反重力型の機体‌‌（definitely anti-gravity type craft）」 であると断言しています。撮影者も、これは「我々が夢見ることしかできない種類の推進システム」 で動いている構造物であると述べています。
  • ‌‌人類科学を超える技術:‌‌ 海軍光学物理学者のブルース・マカビー博士は、ガルフブリーズの事例について、その形状、構造、動き方は「人類が製造するいかなる機体の特性とも異なる」 と述べており、人類の科学に存在する推進技術では「この種の能力を持たない」 と強調しています。
  • ‌‌高度なエネルギー利用:‌‌ 元国防総省の下請け業者であるデビッド・セリダ氏は、テザー事件の映像に見られるUFOの動きや、「らせん状の波紋（spiral）」 は、量子物理学においてこれらのUFOが「‌‌非常に高度な重力エネルギーとゼロ・ポイント・エネルギー‌‌（very advanced forms of gravity energy and zero-point energy）」 を利用している証拠であると考えています。

3. 極端な機動性、知的なパターン、および構造的な動き​

UFOは、重力や慣性の法則を無視するような極端な機動を示します。

  • ‌‌致命的な角度付き旋回:‌‌ 宇宙空間でのUFOは、流星では不可能な「高速で角度をつけたターン」 を行っています。セリダ氏は、このようなターンに伴うGフォースは「宇宙飛行士をパンケーキのように押しつぶしてしまう」 だろうと指摘しています。
  • ‌‌組織化された隊形と知性:‌‌ 宇宙での映像では、UFOが「組織化されたパターンで隊形を組み」、円形の配置に到達すると「点灯する」 様子が捉えられており、これは「驚くべき知性」 を示していると評価されています。
  • ‌‌光の操作と構造の出現:‌‌ フェニックスで夜間に撮影された映像では、三角形の隊形を組んでいた光のうち、二つが「消えては、残りの二つの前に再び現れる」 動きや、複数のオーブが突然消えたり出現したりする 現象が記録されています。
  • ‌‌旋回と静止:‌‌ ネバダ砂漠で撮影されたUFOは、輪の周りを光が回っているように見え、カメラがしっかりと固定されていた間は「微動だにせずにそこに座っていた」 と証言されています。また、エクアドルで撮影された物体は「構造を持ち、回転している」 様子が見られます。

4. 軍用機との相互作用​

UFOは、地球上の軍事技術と関わり合うような動きも見せています。

  • ‌‌追跡行動:‌‌ フェニックスではUFOが消失した直後にF-15戦闘機がその地域を旋回する様子が撮影されています。
  • ‌‌電子的な駆け引き:‌‌ イスラエル上空では、UFOと軍用ジェット機が視覚的に相互作用している映像があり、専門家はこれを「電子的な猫とネズミのゲーム」 であり、円盤が軍用機のビームの波から「ひょいと逃げている」 のだと解釈しています。また、この円盤は「この飛行機と遊んでいるだけ」 のようにも見えると指摘されています。

5. 捏造疑惑と機動性​

中には、その飛行特性があまりにも出来すぎているために捏造が疑われるケースもあります。

  • ‌‌不自然な出現:‌‌ メキシコの映像では、UFOが「電球のスイッチを入れたかのように」 突然どこからともなく現れる瞬間が記録されており、これが巧妙な捏造の可能性を示唆しています。
  • ‌‌カメラ効果の可能性:‌‌ 海軍光学物理学者のマカビー博士は、イスラエルで撮影された奇妙な形状のUFOについて、自動焦点のカメラが誤った距離に焦点を合わせることで、物体の実際の形状ではなく「カメラの絞りの形状に関連した画像」 に変形した光学的な錯覚である可能性を指摘しています。

UFO の形状・構造​

AI

UFOの特性と専門家の考察というより大きな文脈において、これらのソースは、‌‌UFOが多様で複雑な、明らかに地球上の技術とは異なる「構造（structured）」や「形状」を持っている‌‌ことを示そうとしています。ビデオ映像によって捉えられたこれらの物体は、単なる光の点ではなく、物理的な構造を持つ機械であると主張されています。

以下に、ソースから読み取れるUFOの主要な形状と構造、および専門点ではなく、物理的な構造を持つ機械であると主張されています。

以下に、ソースから読み取れるUFOの主要な形状と構造、および専門家の考察をまとめます。

1. 円盤型（Disc-shaped）とドーム型（Domed）の構造​

最も古典的で説得力のある事例として、ドームを備えた金属製の円盤型構造が記録されています。

  • ‌‌ドーム型円盤:‌‌ 2003年5月24日にアリゾナ州フェニックスでジェフ・ウィリス氏が撮影した物体は、「‌‌驚くべきドーム型飛行機械‌‌ (startling domed flying machine)」、「‌‌ドームを備えた円盤状の物体‌‌ (disc-shaped object turned on its side with the dome this way)」 として描写されています。ウィリス氏は、これが「‌‌構造を持ち、ドーム型で、金属製の機械‌‌ (a structured, domed, metallic machine)」 であることを強調しています。
  • ‌‌「空飛ぶ円盤」の形状:‌‌ 別のフェニックスの事例では、物体をズームインして見ると「‌‌空飛ぶ円盤‌‌ (flying saucer)」 のように見えるとされています。
  • ‌‌巨大なサイズ:‌‌ 1998年5月2日にクリス・ミラー氏が撮影したUFOは、「‌‌巨大‌‌ (huge)」 であり、直径が「‌‌間違いなく100フィート（約30メートル）を超えている‌‌」 と推定されました。
  • ‌‌ワールドトレードセンター上空:‌‌ 1994年10月にマンハッタン上空で撮影されたUFOは、「‌‌巨大な空飛ぶ円盤‌‌ (huge flying saucer)」 のように見える物体でした。
  • ‌‌メキシコでのクラシックな形状:‌‌ メキシコ上空では、「‌‌楕円形のUFOの古典的な形状‌‌ (the classic shape of the oval UFO)」 が頻繁に目撃されています。

2. 宇宙空間での巨大な構造物​

NASAのスペースシャトルが撮影したとされるテザー事件の映像には、想像を絶する巨大な円盤型構造物が含まれていました。

  • ‌‌巨大な円盤:‌‌ 1996年のテザー事件では、テザーの後ろを通過する「‌‌巨大な円盤‌‌ (giant disks)」 が見られました。
  • ‌‌途方もないサイズ:‌‌ 専門家は、画面上では小さく見えるものの、このUFOは「‌‌サイズが巨大‌‌ (enormous in size)」 であり、テザーの長さ（12マイル）と比較して「‌‌直径が約2〜3マイル‌‌」 あると測定されています。

3. 多様な形状と構造​

円盤型だけでなく、多種多様な形状の物体が記録されています。

  • ‌‌葉巻型/連結球体:‌‌ UFOハンターのトム・サボーリン氏が最初に見た物体は、「‌‌大きなタバコ‌‌ (a big cigarette)」 のように見え、別の事例では「‌‌接続された4つのボール‌‌ (four balls that was connected)」 のように見えたと述べています。
  • ‌‌円筒型:‌‌ 1993年にフロリダ州レッドフィッシュポイントで記録されたUFOは、「‌‌円筒形‌‌ (cylinder-shaped UFO)」 でした。
  • ‌‌クリスマスツリー型:‌‌ 1993年にガルフブリーズ近郊で撮影された物体は、「‌‌驚くべきクリスマスツリー状の機体‌‌ (amazing Christmas tree-shaped craft)」 と形容されています。
  • ‌‌シャンデリア/6つの星の形:‌‌ 1995年にエクアドルで撮影された物体は、「‌‌輝くシャンデリア‌‌ (glowing chandelier)」 のように見え、撮影者は「‌‌6つの尖った星‌‌ (a six-point star)」 のようだったと述べています。
  • ‌‌三角形:‌‌ 1994年12月にメキシコで撮影されたUFOは、「‌‌三角形の形状‌‌ (A triangular shape)」 をしていました。

4. 複雑な内部構造と窓​

一部の映像では、UFOが外部の光の現象ではなく、複雑な内部構造を持つことを示唆しています。

  • ‌‌光の輪:‌‌ ネバダ砂漠で撮影されたUFOは、「‌‌リムの周りを回っている信じられないほどの照明の配列‌‌ (incredible array of lights that are going around a rim)」 を示していました。
  • ‌‌ポータルに囲まれた構造:‌‌ フロリダ州レッドフィッシュポイントで撮影された物体は、「‌‌舷窓に囲まれたUFO‌‌ (porthole-encircled UFO)」 として描写されています。
  • ‌‌巨大な建築物のような構造:‌‌ 1996年8月にイスラエルで撮影されたUFOは、「‌‌奇妙な赤いマークと長方形の形‌‌」を持つ「‌‌部分的に照らされた機体‌‌ (partially lit craft)」 でした。カメラがズームインすると、「‌‌廊下のある巨大な飛行する建物‌‌ (a huge flying building with hallways)」 に似た驚くべき構造が確認されました。
  • ‌‌窓または通気口:‌‌ イスラエルの事例を調査した専門家は、このハツォルのUFOは「‌‌窓がある、非常に大きなUFO‌‌ (a very large UFO. This thing's got windows)」 であり、「窓、あるいは通気口、あるいは地球上では何と呼ばれるかわからない、‌‌非常に奇妙な、変わった四角形‌‌」 が2列あると述べています。

5. 捏造/光学現象としての解釈​

一部の専門家は、奇妙な形状が光学的な錯覚または捏造である可能性も指摘しています。

  • ‌‌飛行船説（Blimp）：‌‌ 中国とドイツで撮影された類似した物体は、航空会社の機長によって登録された航空機ではないと確認されたものの、海軍光学物理学者のマカビー博士は、‌‌内部に照明がある「飛行船」の既知の形状と非常に類似している‌‌可能性がある と指摘しています。
  • ‌‌カメラの絞りによる変形:‌‌ イスラエルで撮影されたUFOの「アップル」のような形状 や「王冠」のような形状 について、マカビー博士は、カメラが自動焦点で間違った距離に焦点を合わせると、「‌‌物体の実際の形状ではなく、カメラの絞りの形状に関連した画像‌‌」 が得られる可能性を提示し、形状が光学的な錯覚かもしれないと示唆しています。
  • ‌‌意図的なホークス:‌‌ メキシコのカルロス・ディアス氏の映像については、撮影が自宅の窓越しに行われており、専門家は「‌‌カメラのすぐ外側に何かを吊るした‌‌ (hung something in front of the camera, you know, just outside his house, quite easily)」 可能性があると、巧妙な捏造の可能性を指摘しています。

（冒頭：サワリのシーンの寄せ集め部分）

[narator] : The following program deals with a controversial subject. The theories expressed are not the only possible interpretation. Viewers are invited to make a judgment based on all available information. Oh, my God! I got it on tape and it was recording. (00:00:23)

[Jeff Willes] : Oh, there it is, over to the left! Wow! Catching UFO up there! The speed was extraordinary. (00:00:30)

[SPEAKER_04] : It looks like a flying saucer. I made it my job to get it on tape. Something was out there. Something overpowered the satellite. (00:00:39)

[Erech - Music Composer] : Franklin, we see a long line, a couple of star-like things, and a lot of things swimming in the foreground. Can you describe what you're seeing? (00:00:47)

[Jim Courant - Airline Captain, UFO Consultant] : It is a hoax. It was done very well. (00:00:49)

[Santiago Yturria - UFO Videographer] : It just disappeared. Vanished. It's gone. It's gone. I don't know. (00:00:52)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : Probably moved 100 miles in a matter of a second or two. The velocity is impossible. (00:01:00)

[SPEAKER_02] : What I saw in that footage blew my mind. Amazing. Every attempt to get to the bottom of this has been stonewalled. There's more to this world than you see. I think there's every reason to fear these things. (00:01:13)

（ここから実質的な本編の開始）

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : During the last few years, an increasing number of UFO cases have been reported by people all over the world. And video cameras are now capturing hundreds of these baffling, unidentified flying objects, which puzzle both those who believe and those who don't. On this program, we will present the most compelling videotaped evidence of extraordinary and unknown craft ever shown anywhere. And hear from a top government physicist, a video analyst, and the eyewitnesses themselves. Could these be actual alien spacecraft? (00:01:51)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Sophisticated military vehicles hidden from the public? Or incredible hoaxes? You decide for yourself as we examine the best UFO cases ever caught on tape. Oh my god. The startling domed flying machine you are seeing was videotaped over America on May 24th, 2003. It appears to be a mysterious device displaying some unknown propulsion system. Where'd it go? The crystal clear footage was shot by videographer Jeff Willis while standing outside his home in Phoenix, Arizona. (00:03:03)

[Jeff Willes] : Right when I hit record, at that second, the object was passing straight over the top of my house. And what I got on tape was a disc-shaped object turned on its side with the dome this way, the bottom part this way, as it flies over my house. It suddenly does a U-turn and then jumped about a mile and a half in like a matter of a half a second to where I couldn't even see it anymore. So I started scanning the skies for it. (00:03:31)

[Jeff Willes] : Finally, about a minute and a half later, I caught it again. And this time, when I zoomed into the object, it was a lot further away. But, it seems that it was still on its side. People need to know and realize that this is a structured, domed, metallic machine that is running under its own type of propulsion system. It's running under something that we can only dream about. (00:03:58)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Some top UFO experts believe this is the kind of compelling evidence that should get the U.S. government's attention. (00:04:06)

[Jim Courant - Airline Captain, UFO Consultant] : If I had to single out some single footage that I would bring in for congressional hearings, it would probably be Jeff Willis' tape of the flying dome craft. It has been analyzed enough by very high-tech equipment to say there's something there. It is metallic and it's definitely anti-gravity type craft. Is it ours? I don't know. (00:04:27)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Willis, a dedicated videographer, has taped several inexplicable UFOs over Phoenix, a city that many experts claim has the most UFO activity of any American city. But it's Willis' focused efforts to document strange disc-shaped craft and eerie nighttime formations that has produced some of the strongest UFO evidence on record. December 11, 2004. In the clear blue skies above Phoenix, Willis manages to tape this disc hovering for several minutes before a strange second object streaks past it from above. Watch closely as the second object seems to do a free fall dangerously close to the larger stationary disc. (00:05:19)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Then on May 24, 2005, the two-year anniversary of his astounding domed saucer sighting, Willis captured this enigmatic craft navigating over his house. It, too, appears to be a metallic device displaying unknown flight characteristics. Moving silently to the right, the UFO now appears to be two objects or has split into separate parts somehow linked together. Just a few months later, Willis videotaped this daylight disc, which incredibly turns into an orange glowing orb before vanishing behind a building. But the nighttime UFO encounters Willis managed to record during this same period are perhaps even more difficult to explain and were witnessed by a fellow sky watcher. (00:06:08)

[Jeff Willes] : On May 12, 2005, we set up the camera equipment. So then all of a sudden I thought to myself, turn your camera on and hit the record button. For some reason, I did it. I zoomed out a little bit. Right when I zoomed out, four lights appeared in a triangular formation in the distance. Whoa, I'm getting a series of lights right there. I got it. I got it. Two lights on the right of the object disappear and reappear in front of the remaining two. (00:06:38)

[Jeff Willes] : Got it, Pat? (00:06:38)

[Thomas Sabourin - UFO Hunter] : Damn it, damn it, damn it. Yeah, yeah, right in that cloud that went away. (00:06:41)

[Jeff Willes] : Yeah, and then those lights go out. About a half a second later, it reappears. There it is, over to the left. Wow, it jumped away. Watch it, Pat. (00:06:49)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : And that's right in the light. Although the military base nearby denied it, the video shows it's possible that they were aware of this extraordinary UFO sighting and perhaps others like it. (00:07:01)

[Jeff Willes] : Sure enough, not two minutes after that UFO disappears, you see an F-15 circle the area. Well, here comes the F-15. Check it out. We were getting reports of this same phenomenon. That's the whole reason why we were up on that mountain. There was an object appearing lights that would jump in front of each other. (00:07:20)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : The very next week, Willis and another sky watcher went to the home of a local resident who had reportedly seen different yet equally baffling orbs repeatedly flying over his house and nearby mountain range. These dramatic events that unfolded in front of Willis' and the other witnesses' cameras have never been shown publicly. (00:07:42)

[Jeff Willes] : These objects appear, first three orbs for about three minutes, and then the two orbs on the right disappear mysteriously, and there's one object left. About a minute later, three more objects magically appear on the left of the original orb that's left. Three of them appear at the same time above it in a triangular formation with the one light off to the side. At this point, we're all going crazy. We can't believe what we're videotaping. (00:08:14)

[Jeff Willes] : What we're seeing is amazing. Oh, s‌‌t, dude. Did you see that? Yep, it's coming. Holy s‌‌t. Oh, this is nuts. It came back. Wow. More appeared, bro. And the original light that started disappears, and now we have a triangle formation of lights. The lead triangle light disappears. There's two lights left. All of a sudden, two more lights appear above it in the same distance as the original two are. So now we have four lights again, and the two on the left disappear, and now we have two lights. (00:08:53)

[Jeff Willes] : And then those two lights slowly disappear, and this whole sequence lasted about six minutes. It's some of the most amazing footage that I ever got on video, nighttime footage, and we got it on three different cameras. (00:09:06)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : This controversial UFO video shot six years ago has rarely been seen by the public. It, too, is one of the most spectacular UFO videos ever recorded. Experts who have analyzed it are intrigued. As incredible as it sounds, it looks like a Hollywood-type spaceship caught on tape. It's a UFO up there. I've got it on film here. I've zoomed into it. It was shot by a young man who was attending an outdoor arts festival in the Nevada desert. In his only national TV interview about the close encounter, the cameraman, who goes by the name Eric, recounts his UFO sighting and how it felt to videotape it. (00:09:42)

[Erech - Music Composer] : I reached for my camera, and I zoomed in and got a close-up of it that the naked eye could not make out, because to the naked eye, it looked like just a speck of red light way up there in the sky. When you zoom in, you see this incredible array of lights that are going around a rim. I think the footage speaks for itself. We just sat there just so in awe of what it was, not knowing anything. It looks like a flying saucer, you know, but you try and your mind's going, no, this can't be. (00:10:25)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Eric claims that shortly after beginning to videotape the UFO, his batteries ran out. When he returned with the camera fully charged, the mysterious object had vanished. (00:10:35)

[Erech - Music Composer] : It must have left pretty quickly, because it caught it sitting there motionless. As you'll see, it does not move, and the camera's lock is sitting steadily on the ground. So that's what makes it so interesting to me. (00:10:49)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But could this merely be someone's intricately designed device made to wow the Nevada Festival participants? If it was created, no one has publicly come forward to take credit for it. (00:11:00)

[Itm McHugh - Special Effects Supervisor] : I don't see any indications that this was added after the event. Whatever this light phenomena is, it seems to be at that location. The most significant detraction to this being a UFO is the fact that it appeared during a festival that celebrates light sculpture. So my guess would be this is some kind of floating device with lots of Christmas lights that's being suspended in the air somehow. Possibly a balloon. (00:11:32)

[Itm McHugh - Special Effects Supervisor] : But it seems to genuinely be there in the sky. (00:11:38)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : This video clearly shows an object out there, some sort of a device, man-made or not man-made, but an artificial device, with lights that appear to be going around, flashing on and off in a very strange manner. One could argue that it's a real UFO. (00:11:58)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Yet Eric himself seems to suggest both on the tape and in his interview. The object he videotaped could have a very earthly explanation. Yeah, that looks good. That's a really good effect. (00:12:10)

[Erech - Music Composer] : Whatever that is, that's a really good effect. Being that we're out there with a lot of creative individuals, that somebody somehow managed to suspend the most brilliant light sculpture up in the heavens. That's a pretty beautiful object, whatever it is. (00:12:24)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : October 1994. This stirring video of what appears to be a gigantic UFO hovering next to the now tragically destroyed World Trade Center in Manhattan was shot by a group of Italian tourists aboard a cruise ship. Is it possible the video actually shows a huge flying saucer over New York City? (00:12:44)

[Itm McHugh - Special Effects Supervisor] : If this image is real, it's amazing. What strikes me as being unconvincing about this videotape, shot in lower Manhattan, is the camera operator, even though he's got a huge UFO appearing by the Twin Towers, actually moves the camera away and down. And on the audio portion of the tape, no one is reacting to what should be a terrifying phenomenon. (00:13:07)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : And here you have a video of a huge, what would be a huge object if it's a real object out there at the distance of the Twin Trade Centers. So you would expect that the people who got that video would have done something with it. They would have told the UFO groups. Instead, this video just sort of remained underground and has been rediscovered right here on this show. (00:13:27)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Though the World Trade Center UFO video remains an unsettling mystery, many people are actually using their video cameras to capture extraordinary objects that cannot be explained conventionally. Some people are proudly calling themselves UFO video hunters. Chris Miller is one of them. (00:13:51)

[Chris Miller - UFO Videographer] : I guess it started with my grandfather. He died in 1980 and left me all of his material on Erich von Däniken. And Erich von Däniken's whole idea was that we were visited once before. And it was my idea that I want to try to go out and try to get proof for this. It started basically five years ago in Michigan, while we were living in Michigan, and I caught one object on video and I brought it to the airport and no one knew what it was there. And that's how the ball started rolling. (00:14:18)

[Chris Miller - UFO Videographer] : On May 2nd, 1998, we were outside, my son and I were outside playing in the dirt. And I look up and I saw, it was kind of cloudy that day, and I saw something sitting up in the clouds. So I ran real quick, my camcorder was ready to go, I came back and I zoomed right up to it. For about 15 minutes I had this on video, but for the first five minutes, all of a sudden it disappeared. It went from one part of the sky at least 20-30 miles in a split second. (00:14:49)

[Chris Miller - UFO Videographer] : I zipped the camera over and I catch it again. And it was just absolutely fantastic because the object is huge. It's definitely over 100 feet in diameter. I set the zoom on infinity, basically, and zoomed into the maximum. And it looks, it's hard to say what it looks like, but it looks like a flying saucer. (00:15:09)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Miller was able to capture this amazing daylight UFO cluster and two orbs on video as well. (00:15:17)

[Chris Miller - UFO Videographer] : When I was taping the cluster, my heart was racing. You can even hear me breathing hard. After I realized what I captured on tape, it felt great. For the past three years I've been told so many things, I'm not really sure what to believe anymore. Naval Intelligence studied my footage for four months and their only comment was they have no idea what the objects are. I have no idea what I'm catching on video. If these objects are ours, military, secret projects, we're at least a thousand years beyond our present technology that they let us know about. (00:15:53)

[Chris Miller - UFO Videographer] : I personally think it's a desensitization process that our public is going through by seeing these things. Try to have your camcorder handy and ready at all times so when you do see something, you'll catch something amazing on video. And then we all can come together and go to Congress with this and then the public hearings could start and the Americans could learn the truth once and for all. (00:16:16)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : And Miller is not alone in his desire to capture UFO evidence for public scrutiny. Tom Sabourin, another UFO hunter, began videotaping UFOs after seeing extraordinary footage taken over Gulf Breeze, Florida in the early 1990s. (00:16:32)

[Thomas Sabourin - UFO Hunter] : It's breathtaking. When I first seen the videos in Gulf Breeze, it made me go out and get a camera. I started going out every night and every day. I made it my job to get it on tape. It looked like a big cigarette and it was flying across the sky. It looked like four balls that was connected. The third ball to the end was red. The last ball, white, white, white, red. I think it either could be extraterrestrial or some type of new animal. (00:17:03)

[Thomas Sabourin - UFO Hunter] : I'm just a hunter. We don't want to hear about it. We want to see it. (00:17:07)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : The Gulf Breeze UFO sightings that so inspired Sabourin and others to point their cameras skyward have never been explained and remain some of the best UFO incidents ever recorded. Gulf Breeze, Florida, 1987. A man living in this seaside town located near sensitive military installations delivered these startling photos to the town newspaper. Soon after, this extraordinary videotape of the same structured craft was made public. Navy optical physicist Dr. Bruce McAvee went to Gulf Breeze to investigate. (00:17:43)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : It wasn't until I spent a considerable amount of time analyzing it that I realized just how impressive it was. The shape, the structure, and the way it moved is not a characteristic of any craft that human beings make. (00:17:56)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Gulf Breeze, 1993. These UFOs were caught on tape by another local resident. Look at this footage of an accelerating UFO. In slow motion, the object did not appear to be a missile or any known projectile, nor does this strange object. Here it is again in a third clip. In slow motion, the camera records a small silver streak of instant acceleration. We don't have this type of capability for propulsion technology in existence in human science. Redfish Point, Florida, 1993. This extraordinary cylinder-shaped UFO was recorded just outside Gulf Breeze by UFO investigator Michael Hawkins. It hovers over the beach not too far from Eglin Air Force Base.

[Mike Hawkins - UFO Videographer] : It was scaring me, actually. I'd never seen nothing like that before with any kind of structure on it. I thought maybe it might be a military craft, but after a while I started to think that possibly it was some kind of alien probe. (00:18:56)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Midway City, Florida, 1993. Amazingly, Hawkins managed to shoot footage of another strange object near Gulf Breeze that was also videotaped by two other photographers. These astonishing videos, taken from different angles, reveal an amazing Christmas tree-shaped craft hovering over a dense forest. At times, the object appears to give off dense smoke. Then suddenly, it shines an intense beam directly at the camera.

[Mike Hawkins - UFO Videographer] : From all the tapes I've collected, I do believe that there is alien activity over Gulf Breeze.

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : And that's exactly what Hawkins thinks he captured on tape in this never-before-seen video shot near Gulf Breeze two years later, but never released until now. (00:19:41)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : This craft has stunning similarities to what was seen in local newspapers and on tape at the very start of the Gulf Breeze UFO wave.

[Mike Hawkins - UFO Videographer] : Oh man, there it is. I got it now.

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : After spotting the illuminated craft near Redfish Point with a few other investigators, Hawkins drives his car as far as he can before being blocked by trees.

[Mike Hawkins - UFO Videographer] : I can't drive, man, and get to zoom in here at the same time. Get out, man. Get out. (00:20:12)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Braving mosquitoes and thorny vines to get closer, Hawkins does everything he can to keep the porthole-encircled UFO in frame. His running description is breathtaking.

[Mike Hawkins - UFO Videographer] : I got it now. Whoa. [narator] : That's it, man. That's it. That's it. Man, did you see it blink off? Aw, killer, man. We got it, man. That thing's for real. There's vines and crap. There it is. Come on, focus. Focus, focus. Check that out. Check that out. It's right over the bay. Hope we can see reference points in this video. I'm telling you. We can see reference points. I see trees. (00:21:07)

[Mike Hawkins - UFO Videographer] : They have reference points. This thing takes off. There's no kind of video. That is killer. That thing is real. There can't be no balloon. There's no balloon, man. There's no balloon. That is real. That's a real thing, dude. That is the real thing. Where the hell did it go? It's gone, man. It's gone. (00:21:39)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Hawkins was able to videotape the bizarre craft extremely close up and had it perfectly in frame just as it seems to vanish in the blink of an eye. But whatever all these perplexing UFOs videotaped for years over America represent, there's no doubt that mysterious craft are also being recorded around the globe and even hundreds of miles above it. These video sequences might prove once and for all that NASA knows UFOs are navigating just above the Earth and dangerously close to our space shuttle missions. (00:22:16)

[David Serida] : Franklin, we see a long line. When I saw the tape, I realized that I was looking at very exciting, incredible footage that has never before been seen by the public. (00:22:30)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : David Sirita, a former Defense Department subcontractor, has been studying NASA's possible interest in UFOs for over 15 years. And he believes this incident, which has since become legendary on the Internet as the Tether Incident, may prove UFOs are real. February 25th, 1996. 100 miles above Africa, an experimental satellite system attached to a 12-mile-long electricity-conducting tether suddenly breaks. Within moments, the satellite drifts almost 100 miles away. Nitrogen gas gathers around the tether, effectively turning it into a gigantic fluorescent light in space. (00:23:10)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Incredibly, it seems to attract some strange company. (00:23:14)

[David Serida] : You see a swarm of what may be UFOs flying around it, and then we see the cameras zoom in on these objects, and we see giant disks passing behind this tether. (00:23:25)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But the astronauts involved with the mission seem to have a more mundane explanation. There's a little bit of debris that kind of flies with us. But is it simply debris, as is often claimed by NASA when looking at alleged UFOs in space? Watch what happens when the camera zooms in. (00:23:44)

[David Serida] : What we're seeing on the screen here appears very small, but if you blew this up, you would see that these objects are enormous in size. This UFO here, I measured approximately two to three miles in diameter against the 12-mile length of the tether. If it's further behind the tether than I think, it could be much larger. (00:24:01)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : The potential size of these UFOs is clearly mind-boggling. And according to Sarita, so is the advanced technology behind it. Would a piece of space junk pulsate in a regular pattern, as we see here? (00:24:15)

[David Serida] : This spiral, to me, suggests a gravity wave that is stronger than light. This, to me, is proof, in quantum physics, that these UFOs are utilizing very advanced forms of gravity energy and zero-point energy. (00:24:32)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Sarita believes that our space program does not yet possess this technology, nor the capability to perform the startling maneuvers displayed by these UFOs caught on tape during another shuttle mission. (00:24:44)

[David Serida] : If you look over here, you're going to see something that a meteorite cannot do. You're going to see a high-speed angular turn, and the object continues. The g-forces on a turn like this would flatten any astronaut into a pancake. (00:24:57)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Could all these objects be disregarded as mere space debris, as NASA contends? If that's so, then how can they explain this eye-opening footage of UFOs forming in an organized pattern? (00:25:09)

[David Serida] : As these UFOs reach their positions in the circle, they light up, showing incredible intelligence. There, we see a UFO light up right in the middle of the circle. This shows intelligence. (00:25:18)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Whatever the UFOs videotaped by NASA cameras are, there's no doubt that back down on Earth they continue to be filmed over every major country around the globe. February 3rd, 1995. During the early morning hours, a woman tapes this mysterious craft hovering above Beijing, China. Notice how the glowing object floats, making no sharp turns or sudden maneuvers. While some dismiss the craft as a blimp, airline pilot and UFO researcher Jim Courant is not so sure. (00:25:51)

[Jim Courant - Airline Captain, UFO Consultant] : I'm quite aware of what a blimp looks like, and these advertising blimps are in many areas around the world. I have checked with the blimp company that supplies many of the advertising blimps. We also did a check with the control tower, the radar military and civilian over there, and there were no registered aircraft in the area at that time, blimp or otherwise. So, I'm not quite sure what it is. The UFO. (00:26:15)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : May 29th, 1993. Stuttgart, Germany. Halfway around the world, then 15-year-old Kai Metzger recorded a craft remarkably similar to the one seen over Beijing, China. (00:26:28)

[Kai Metzger - UFO Videographer] : I saw this thing and I thought, oh my God, what's that? And because of that I took my camera and shoot it and I was really afraid of it. (00:26:41)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : What are we to make of these unusual looking craft videotaped in the skies above China and Germany? Are they blimps or something much more inexplicable? Dr. Bruce McAbee believes he has the answer. (00:26:55)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : We have studied a number of videos with this sort of an image, and in some cases have been able to absolutely prove that this is an image of a blimp which has lights on the inside, a transparent skin. This shape right here matches very closely, or perhaps exactly, with the known shapes of internally lighted blimps. (00:27:16)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Derby, England. March 13th, 1995. This unidentified flying object was caught on tape for nearly an hour. The strangely shaped object was described as being completely silent. A few years later, in August 1998, a large metallic object was caught on tape again in England, this time in the village of Silbury Hill, an area famous for UFO sightings. The noiseless craft was said to hover in the sky for two to three minutes before disappearing, and then it returned, then blinked out. During a five month long wave of UFO sightings in Peru in February 1999, two photographers captured the same imposing object on the very same evening just outside Lima. The next night, this mysterious craft was caught on tape again for a full 40 minutes as it hovered above the nearby town of Pueblo Libre. Look at this red glow on the object's underside. (00:28:15)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Later, three distinct white lights appear on top. Jim Courant finds the images baffling. (00:28:21)

[Jim Courant - Airline Captain, UFO Consultant] : You have something that was so strange that anybody seeing it would have to say, I can't explain it. (00:28:31)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Ecuador, 1995. A high school student named Victor Chilhuisa managed to capture what many experts consider one of the most extraordinary UFOs ever caught on tape. In this fascinating footage, a structured, rotating craft can clearly be seen in the nighttime sky. According to Chilhuisa, the craft hovered very briefly. (00:28:53)

[Victor Chiluiza - UFO Videographer] : I was with two cousins, one friend. Suddenly, we saw some red lights in the sky. Five minutes later, maybe, I went out with the camera again. This object was like a star, like a six-point star. And I began filming it. (00:29:17)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Five hundred people in the city of Guayaquil reportedly witnessed this stunning close encounter. The craft, which resembles a glowing chandelier, did not appear to be any craft that Chilhuisa and the others with him were familiar with. It couldn't be a helicopter. (00:29:33)

[Victor Chiluiza - UFO Videographer] : It couldn't be an airplane. It couldn't be, well, whatever. It just could be an UFO. It was, for me, unbelievable. I was so astonished that I couldn't say anything. (00:29:44)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Quito, Ecuador, one year later. A round object was spotted in the night sky. Again, the craft exhibited an elaborate array of lights. No known man-made object or aircraft looks like this. December 3, 1994, Monterrey, Mexico. What you are seeing is perhaps the most compelling nighttime UFO video ever caught on tape in that region. A respected UFO researcher, Santiago Ytoria, shot the tape. (00:30:13)

[Santiago Yturria - UFO Videographer] : From the mountain emerged this huge, red glowing, very bright object. So I began filming, and we realized that it was indeed a UFO. A triangular shape, red glowing, UFO, very silent, and it was very low altitude. (00:30:32)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Look here as Ytoria zooms in with his camera, focusing on its mysterious red glow. (00:30:39)

[Santiago Yturria - UFO Videographer] : We took two days reviewing the video, making analysis on the computer, and we discovered that this UFO has this kind of energy all around. (00:30:49)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Can there be any simple explanations for the strange objects continuously being recorded around the globe and even above it? Most UFO investigators remain perplexed. Interestingly, some don't see it as a threat, but as a blessing. (00:31:04)

[Santiago Yturria - UFO Videographer] : We don't know what they are, where do they come from, what do they want, but we are convinced that this presence is positive to our lives. (00:31:13)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Undoubtedly, such reverence concerning UFOs in Mexico can be traced to perhaps the most spectacular UFO event ever caught on tape in that country, or arguably the entire world. It happened on July 11, 1991, when hundreds of people aimed their cameras skyward during a solar eclipse. This startling video was taken during the eclipse by Guillermo Arreguin, a network TV executive. It documents an eerie metallic craft with a saucer shape that was also videotaped by other videographers in Mexico City and other places throughout the country, almost simultaneously. This unprecedented mass UFO sighting during the eclipse ushered in a Mexico UFO wave that continued throughout the 1990s, as UFO watchers kept their cameras trained to the sky. (00:32:12)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Amazingly, many Mexican people are starting to believe that not only are unidentified flying objects navigating in the skies above them, but aliens are actually landing and meeting with their countrymen. December 8, 1999. As a Mexico City businessman gets dressed for work in the early morning, he spotted this unusual craft outside his window and managed to capture it on tape. Listen as he speaks to the possible inhabitants of the unknown craft. Do you know what? (00:32:44)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Call him to get some information from the media. (00:32:50)

[Santiago Yturria - UFO Videographer] : He realized that it could be some of the so-called UFOs, and it was the classic shape of the oval UFO, most of the times present in the skies of Mexico. He was very excited, and he said, how are you boys? How are you staying? What can you tell me about Alpha Centauri? And suddenly the object disappeared. Maybe they didn't like the comments. (00:33:14)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Notice the dark upper and bottom edges of the craft and the spinning movement in the middle, which seems to disturb the atmosphere around it. Whatever was floating in the Mexico City sky that morning remains a mystery. But there are some UFO cases in Mexico which, simply put, are either too good to be true or elaborate hoaxes. Incredibly, some of these even involve meetings with alleged alien beings. November 1991. Tepoztlan, Mexico. A man named Carlos Diaz managed to capture a UFO over his house. (00:33:53)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Look here as he zooms in on this strange orange object in the sky. Then, suddenly, he's somehow right on top of it, as we see sharp detail rarely seen in nighttime UFO videos. (00:34:08)

[Carlos Diaz] : It was like plasma, classic plasma, shaped with red color, red glowing color, and with these spinning movements that show that it was indeed a UFO and not another known object. (00:34:26)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : While Carlos Diaz's first videos may be impressive to some experts, many still feel that Diaz, a professional photographer, should have stopped there, since his first videotape citing Diaz has managed to record many other UFOs. But some of them are simply too far-fetched and simply look hoaxed. Look at this video taken in June of 1992. Notice how the UFO suddenly appears out of nowhere, almost as if it is turned on like a light bulb. Another video taken in May of 1993 shows the craft close up. (00:35:02)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Suddenly, some strange laser beam seemingly shoots out from the bottom. But are we seeing an actual UFO or merely a part of an elaborate hoax perpetrated by Diaz? Dr. Bruce McAbee has viewed much of the Diaz material. (00:35:17)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : This video was shot through a window in his house, and that means that there's the possibility that he could have hung something in front of the camera, you know, just outside his house, quite easily. (00:35:30)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But do we disregard all of Diaz's video evidence simply because some of it may not look credible? (00:35:37)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : I can't say that every one of these things is not an actual unidentified flying object out there. I would tend to believe that some of them may be fabricated. (00:35:47)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : To add even more controversy, Diaz is claiming actual alien contact. He alleges that beings from another world invite him aboard their spaceships and give him messages for mankind. (00:35:59)

[Santiago Yturria - UFO Videographer] : Carlos Diaz told me that he was absorbed by the plasma craft in some way. So when he met the occupants, he said that they were beings of light, kind of spiritual extraterrestrials. (00:36:18)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : September 1994. In the small village of Metapec in central Mexico, a woman went public with a video showing a supposed alien being in a field next to her home. She didn't shoot it just once. She allegedly shot it twice. The alleged alien in the field videotaped in Metapec has made news headlines in several countries. But is it real? Take a look at the image. It appears to be a glowing creature of some kind. The body seems somewhat squatty, the head possibly a typical alien seen in many magazines and newspapers as well as books. (00:36:59)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : What are we to make of it? Many experts are baffled. To this day it remains a mystery. While UFOs have been videotaped in record numbers around the world and even above it, nowhere have there been more sightings of mysterious craft than over Israel. The inexplicably eerie UFOs caught on tape over the Holy Land are some of the most extraordinary images ever recorded. Some UFO experts even think it's possible that they are proof that extraterrestrials are keenly interested in Israel's security. September 1996. This peculiar and fascinating image was filmed by a resident of an area called Kfar Saba. When the craft first appeared it resembled an apple with a strange top and bottom. (00:37:48)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : This incredible UFO was seen again in a different configuration the next evening. After it appeared a third night, the videographer marveled at its intricate design. Look here at the many forms it seems to take. One night there are three lights on top. The second night only one. The third night the light takes on the shape of a crown and the entire object shrinks in size and turns a deep shade of orange. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann has never come across anything quite like this. (00:38:20)

[Michael Lindemann - Journalist, Publisher CNI News] : Seeing the video of this thing I must say it's very impressive and I can't imagine what it is. It doesn't look like any prosaic object that I can think of. It doesn't bear any reasonable resemblance to a conventional aircraft of any kind. (00:38:39)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : We showed the intriguing video to Dr. Bruce McAbee. He offers a possible explanation for what we are seeing. (00:38:46)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : The question is, is this image shape actually the shape of the object or has it been modified by the camera? If it's on automatic focus it likely tries to focus at a wrong distance. When that happens you get an image in which the shape of the image is related to the aperture of the camera rather than the actual shape of the object. (00:39:05)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But how is it possible that the same individual using the same camera captured three separate images on three separate nights? If so, what are we really looking at? McAbee reminds us it could be an optical illusion. (00:39:17)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : This thing right here suggests to me that the actual shape of the object has not got round things like that on it. It was a very bright light which may well be a UFO. But the shape of the object is probably not this shape. (00:39:33)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But this amazing flying structured craft has no earthly explanation. It was seen over the small farming village of Kibbutz Hatzor for three consecutive nights in August 1996. The video, shot by a teenage boy living at the kibbutz, shows a bizarre looking partially lit craft with strange red markings and rectangular shapes. When the camera zooms in, we see what appears to be a light on the craft's left side take on amazing structure. A structure some say resembles a huge flying building with hallways. (00:40:16)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : The young videographer and witnesses around him were completely stunned by the strange machine in the nighttime sky. As the camera continued to roll, the craft hovered above for hours. After it was caught again on tape, the next night, word of the strange craft had spread and some 60 members of the kibbutz came out to see it in all its glorious color. Though the same videographer's camera inexplicably lost power on the third night, he managed to film the odd craft using a neighbor's camera. Look what he managed to capture on tape. (00:40:58)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : The structure is so massive that the illuminated portion is said to represent only 5-7% of its actual size. Is this the design of some otherworldly architect? As incredible as it sounds, some UFO researchers claim it could be housing alien inhabitants. Giant aliens as described in the Bible. (00:41:27)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : No one has ever seen one like this before. It was captured on two separate nights, one separate morning. Over 100 people saw it. (00:41:40)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Barry Chamish is one of the most respected UFO investigators in Israel today. He believes that this is one of the most extraordinary UFOs ever caught on tape. (00:41:49)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : What we're dealing with, with Hatzor, is a very large UFO. This thing is not just a round disc. This thing's got windows, it's got two rows of windows, or vents, or who knows what on earth they're shaped. Because they are very odd, offbeat squares. And they managed to get a close-up of these vents. I mean really close, you're right inside them. And they could be teeth for all you know. And you have no idea what's attacking you. (00:42:21)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : But this orange structure, I believe it's energy vents or something. Something to do with venting energy. (00:42:28)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : The kibbutz is near an Israeli Air Force base. But Chamish is convinced this is no military craft. (00:42:34)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : Everything is wrong. The dimensions are wrong. The squares aren't quite squares. If it was a military vehicle, it hasn't come back. The likes of it have never been seen ever again. (00:42:44)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Then what was hovering above Israel for three consecutive nights that summer? (00:42:49)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : Obviously if this is up in the sky, there's nothing that's supposed to be up in the sky that looks quite like that. It apparently is some object which has got that sort of a size to it in this level of blow-up. When they zoom in and get a structured image out of this, it's just plain... it doesn't look like anything that I've ever seen. It doesn't look like any ordinary UFO, that's for sure. (00:43:11)

[Bruce Maccabee - Naval Optical Physicist] : But it certainly doesn't look like an airplane or a blimp, balloons or whatever. This would have to be considered to be unknown. (00:43:17)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : These unexplainable UFOs videotaped over Israel have never been sighted anywhere else in the world. Some believe the Holy Land may hold special significance for visitors from other worlds. Even Israeli television has broadcast images of possible UFOs on the news. However, according to Chamish, the Israeli military has secretly viewed UFOs as a possible threat. (00:43:43)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : Israel has never admitted to UFOs, and I know for a fact that our Air Force is chasing them constantly. I was in the Air Force. We were ordered not to tell anyone. (00:43:54)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : This extraordinary footage may actually show a UFO being tracked by an Israeli military jet. The video was shot by a student named Gil Bar. (00:44:04)

[Gil Bar - UFO Videographer] : I got my camera and zoomed in on the object, and as I zoomed in, the object began to get closer or brighter, and I didn't understand what it was. (00:44:16)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But what happened next is even more baffling. Visually, it appears as though the objects are interacting. Notice how the two seem to be checking each other out, but who is following who? Is the plane a fighter jet attempting to achieve lock-on, or awaiting further instructions from the ground? Or is the orb engaging the jet in a little fun? Finally, the two seem to cross paths before the jet flies out of frame. (00:44:42)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : It's an electronic cat-and-mouse game. You've got a high-flying surveillance plane throwing all its electronics on this disc, and this disc kind of bopping away from the waves of the beams. I think it was just playing with this plane. (00:44:59)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : But there was nothing playful about this dramatic UFO encounter, recorded on September 28, 1996, near the town of Rashayim, not far from Tel Aviv. Could this be a UFO being shot down, or two rival UFOs engaged in battle? Chamish believes the craft involved are not of this world. (00:45:17)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : We don't have things like that in anybody's air force. And secondly, there was no shrapnel. There's no sparks. Nothing physical exploded. (00:45:27)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Chamish thinks that the UFOs over Israel are definitely not military aircraft, but may in fact be aliens, and their appearance may be cause for alarm. What are they here for? I think there's every reason to fear these things. However, many UFO experts and videographers worldwide believe all governments are not doing enough to solve the UFO enigma. (00:45:49)

[Michael Lindemann - Journalist, Publisher CNI News] : I don't think that UFOs come from such a high level of mystery that we're incapable of understanding them. I think that we have yet to launch the kind of investigation that the mystery deserves. (00:46:05)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Increasingly, self-described UFO hunters from all over the world are uniting through informal channels and the internet to share videos, as well as information. (00:46:19)

[Thomas Sabourin - UFO Hunter] : I'm in contact with about 12 people right now that are hardcore like me, but I know there's got to be at least 50 of us. Maybe in the future it's going to pick up as a fad or something, and there's going to be more and more. (00:46:32)

[Chris Miller - UFO Videographer] : If 100,000 people had camcorders or a camera, that right there, Congress would definitely open their eyes to have a study. (00:46:40)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : Even NASA's own cameras are capturing strange disc-shaped objects that seem to demonstrate technology that might be more advanced than our own. What's more astounding is that some experts actually think that these discs could be tied to our Earth's past, and might also be memorialized in ancient artifacts. (00:47:01)

[David Serida] : In 1938, high in the mountains of China, archaeologists discovered these round stones with a black dot in the middle and little notches out of the side. Now, if you notice in the UFO here, we have a black hole in the middle and a little notch in the side. The discs that were discovered in China also had a carved, spiraling wave that radiated from the center of the dot all the way to the outside of the periphery. It was a perfect match. (00:47:29)

[David Serida] : I believe that these dropa stones were made as artifacts to record what the ancient peoples of China saw in the skies. The same thing that we're seeing on this tape. (00:47:39)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : More evidence that UFOs could have wide-ranging implications to mankind can be found in the wave of sightings caught on tape in the Holy Land. Some Israeli UFO researchers even believe these strange craft could be tied to the scripture. (00:47:54)

[Barry Bhamish - Author, Return Of The Giants] : It seems like every race of UFO and alien are rushing to Israel in the last 12 years. The Bible does describe what we call UFOs today. (00:48:05)

[narator2 : Peer Larson] : So what are we to make of the extraordinary UFO videos recorded in Israel, around the world, and even in outer space? Could we be getting closer to answering the questions these videos increasingly raise? Some people think it's only a matter of time, and that the ever-proliferating video camera might be the tool that finally makes the ultimate difference. (00:48:30)

[Kai Metzger - UFO Videographer] : Yes, I think that cameras might be a tool to prove those things. And because without cameras, you cannot shoot these things. And so no one can see your video. (00:48:45)

[Thomas Sabourin - UFO Hunter] : If you don't have it on tape, then it's just another story out of 10 billion stories. If we want to see it on tape, we don't want to hear about it. We want to see it. (00:48:54)

[Michael Lindemann - Journalist, Publisher CNI News] : Our prospects are good that someday, most of us may live to see the day when we understand what this really is. (00:49:03)
