The Global Threat (Full Episode) | UFOs: Investigating the Unknown

I couldn't care less about UFOs until The Phoenix Lights craft flew over my head by 30 feet in 1997. That craft was HUGE, totally silent, no wind, no odor, no heat. What looked like lava was flowing from the bottom openings, it glowed but didn't burn. I'm a believer ever since.

My Uncle was a Captain with American Airlines for many years. He resided in California; my family lived in Upstate NY. He stopped to visit us after one of his cross country flights and he shared a related story to this National Geographic video. They were flying over New York state and a long cylindrical, metallic object without wings or a tail very quickly approached their jet. It followed them right off their side for 20 minutes or so and air traffic controllers had it on radar. No one knew what it was. Air Force fighter jets were launched. When they approached, the object darted away at blinding speed. This was before smart phones, but many passengers had cameras and had taken photos. When they landed, "Authorities" confiscated the cameras, apparently after searching passenger bags etc. My Uncle, his co-pilot and crew were debriefed that this event "never occurred'. Unfortunately, my Uncle passed away a few years ago; I know he would have loved to share this experience (and others he had) with this Journalist and researcher.

I am actually watching this as some relief from real-world news, the world has changed so much in the past couple of years its crazy

Leslie Kean is the epitome of a real journalist - intelligent, bold, courageous. Much respect.

It's like living in 2 worlds, no one around me believes it even when I show them videos. Sending peace and love to everyone❣

I love the irony of a journalist being mocked for reporting about UFOs. But if they report about celebrities, or some other fluff it's not mocked

Great grandmother said back in the 60s when they lived way out in a rural area that out of the sky a bright light came down late at night and was shining directly down onto their house. She has no reason to lie to her own family. She never lied about anything.

That little yellow box in the corner says it all. Thank god you're there Nat Geo.

you know something is coming when Nat Geo does a documentary about them.

We're in more danger from each other than from unidentified objects. We have met the enemy and it is us.

No one is a beleiver until they see one for the first time. It changes you profoundly.

Back in the 60's my best friends dad was a former USAF Fighter Pilot and at the time a current Captain at TWA, he had a South American route Chile and Brazil. He and the South American pilots talked about these all the time, but was told to NEVER report any sighting inside the US or you'll end your career. South American pilots reported them routinely. If you reported them to the Airline or the Gov't you'd be sent for a mental health evaluation, a week later you're furloughed.

Bravo Nat Geo for handling this topic with honesty, integrity and respect. If only our governments around the world would do the same thing.

The Problem with this Subject is, that it is easier to put aside and live happily than accept the bitter pill which questions all our core beliefs.

Love these types of videos. The mysteries of space, earth, time, technology, other worldly Life, 🙂

When i was a flight attendant we left Atlanta enroute to Florida we were about half way there and i happen to look out the window and i saw a reflection of our aircraft outside the window i could see my reflection, i waved and i could see myself waving. I call the Captain and he said it was a "Prisim" the passengers saw the same thing i saw to this day i believe there was a craft flying along side of us that was cloaked or whatever they do to go undetected and our reflection was bouncing off of it.

The fact that pilots are punished for reporting what they see tells me everything I need to know.

Congrats to National Geographic for stepping up to cover this. Obviously, there is something more to this reality than just military worries about their ways and means. The United States and maybe even a few other countries fear revealing the complete truth and the overall destabilizing effect it would have on society religion etc.

A guy I talked to relay the fact they were out on the sea at night. He said he and other NAVY crew watched a few Saucers exit the ocean and disappear as quick as they came. WOW. He said over the years, this stuff happened more than once

I saw 25 years ago. It was on top of my head 200 feet and the size was almost close to soccer field. No sound and moved around 100 miles straight. It happened in Tabriz City in Iran.
