STORYTELLER: Among the
most troubling things Lue Elizondo examined
at the Government were reports of close
encounters with UFOs. The cases are controversial,
however Army personnel vow they not only
took place, yet caused enduring physical and
mental effects. If real, Elizondo
thinks about these results a sort of sixth visible. This very first account
occurred over 40 years earlier. MARIO WOODS: My
name'' s Mario Woods.
I served in the Air Pressure from 1975 to 1983. And I was in Safety and security Police. In 1977, I was a team member on a safety and security reaction team at Ellsworth Air
Force base in South Dakota. NARRATOR: During the Cold War, Ellsworth Flying force base developed a crucial component of the so-called North Tier Defense System, running hundreds of nuclear-tipped Minuteman intercontinental ballistic rockets. I presume it had to do with 10:30, quarter to 11:00 on this particular night. And then that'' s. when we obtained a telephone call from the launch control officers.
that November 5 had distressed. And also it was a sit 4, which.
was a severe alarm system. It suggests that outside.
alarm is permeated. I informed my team leader,.
Michael Johnson. NARRATOR: Mario Woods.
and also his team leader were ordered to examine.
the disturbance at a projectile silo code-named November 5.
MARIO WOODS: So right away,.
we are sent off. As we most likely to Freeway 79,.
the entire environment was simply lit up. It was just extremely bright,.
like the sun was climbing. And also as we rounded.
the bend, this object was sitting over November.
5, concerning 5-10 feet off the ground, max. As well as it was just massive. It'' s as large as any Walmart.
developing I'' ve ever before seen. The atmosphere in the vehicle.
obtained actually, truly thick, like, couldn'' t take a breath. It was a rounded ball. And on that round, it looked.
like the exterior of it was gaseous. And also the colors were.
floating around it. It wasn'' t a craft,. like, with hard sides or anything like that. It was completely round. NARRATOR: The item floating.
over the nuclear projectile silo showed up to be displaying.
one of the 5 observables. Anti-gravity, the capability.
to fly without noticeable motive powers. You recognize, when.
I was AATIP, we– we were under the.
presumption that there was absolutely nuclear link. Are we once more.
seeing some kind of connection.
in between UAP activity as well as our nuclear capabilities.
along the northern rate? MARIO WOODS: My partner,.
Michael Johnson, he was simply iced up to the.
wheel, looking directly ahead out that windshield.And I kept crying at. him, Michael, Michael.
And he didn ' t address me. I took my Maglite and also I pulled. myself out on the windowsill of that truck. As well as I blinked my. Maglite at this point. But as quickly as I did that,.
the pressure stopped. It was like, OK,.
you can breathe now. And I'' m dropping back.
down right into the seat. After that I keep in mind.
just blacking out. Which'' s the last. thing that I remember. Till that radio came back.
to life, and also all I listened to was, wing protection control.
to November 1. That was us– our call indicator. And I heard it.
3 or 4 times. And also I looked to Michael Johnson. I claimed, are you.
going to obtain that? And also he'' s still just. frozen in his setting.
And I couldn ' t number. it out since there was a wall
appropriate here.And it increased as.
much as I could see. And it was the backside.
of Lake Newell tank. We went from November.
5 to Newell Lake. Which'' s between 5.
as well as 7 as well as 1/2 miles. There were no tire.
prints or anything. It was simply our automobile.
in the middle of the mud. And also it started to get light. NARRATOR: Woods states they.
had actually shed several hours, an unusual space.
in time where they had no memory of where they were.
or what was happening to them. So when I obtained.
back on the radio, I told WSC that there is– I'' m close to a white wall surface. So they claimed, continue.
to speak, we'' re triangulating your area. Perhaps 20 mins passed.So this back-up alert team came. And also I said, I put on ' t. know where I am,'I put on'' t recognize where we are, and
. wear ' t recognize exactly how we obtained right here. I claimed, what'' s occurred? He goes, I can ' t. speak to you concerning it, just remain right there. So I kept attempting to connect.
with Michael Johnson. He wouldn'' t response.
me whatsoever. He was just frozen.
in his placement, looking right ahead. I had to have.
another individual assist me glide him over to the passenger.
seat and also safety belt him in. NARRATOR: Woods as well as his partner.
were soothed of their tools and also informed to follow the back-up.
alert group to the primary base. MARIO WOODS: We.
were taken directly to the wing commander'' s office.And after that the wing commander.
stated, Sergeant Woods– he said, I require to ask you what.
occurred around. I informed him what had.
took place and he asked me to define the dimension of it. He goes, do you have any type of idea.
exactly how you reached where you were? I claimed, no, sir. He claimed, I'' m mosting likely to send. you over to the base hospital. We have a doctor desires.
to have a look at you and simply make certain.
that you'' re all right.The medical professional analyzed my eyes,.
my ears, nose, all that things. He claims, I require to.
take a skin example. As well as I stated, why a skin sample? He states, because you.
have some burns on you. LUIS ELIZONDO: I believe.
most everybody knows the five observables. But we checked out various other points.
and that sixth visible was organic results. And they can be anything.
from subtle to serious. MARIO WOODS: I was melted.
on my face as well as on my hand. And also the products that they used.
to take the skin samples, they went right into.
a vial concerning that huge. And also they put a.
cork on top of it. And after that they were.
laying on a silver tray. NARRATOR: 2 weeks.
later, Michael Johnson appeared at Woods'' s door. He said, guy, what did you.
see as well as what do you keep in mind? And also I experienced whatever.
that I had– that I knew. And after that he described it too. And he claimed he was.
frightened to death. We believed we'' d talk.
regarding it additionally, yet that was the last.
time I ever before saw him.I ' ve been attempting to.
find him since. STORYTELLER: Elizondo claims he'' s. cataloged records of burns in various other close experiences. LUIS ELIZONDO: There.
are key information points that we can measure.
to figure out if there are certainly biological results. It'' s no different than if I.
were to stand behind the jet engine of a 747 at remove. Opportunities are I'' m. going to get burned. These are.
reasonable, patriotic individuals that offer their country. I'' ve seen some data that.
suggests, in some situations, there are genuine physical results.
that call for some interest. NARRATOR: The outcomes of the.
tests on Woods'' s skin examples were never ever shown to him. And also what Woods.
exposes next grows the enigma of these.
close experiences. Woods determined to undertake.
hypnotherapy to see if he could recoup any type of memories.
from the 4 hrs he shed during the experience.MARIO WOODS: Simply all. appear to be like a dream until the next thing. I know, I concerned.
And also obviously, 4. hrs had passed.
[SONGS PLAYING] NARRATOR: The event has.
left Woods with mental scars that have yet to heal. MARIO WOODS: It.
transformed whatever. As well as it still does to now.
