NARRATOR: In May 2019, former British intelligence
officer Nick Pope visited the ECETI
Ranch in the Pacific Northwest.
ECETI is home to the Enlightened Contact
with Extraterrestrial Intelligence organization.
UFO hunters consider it a major hotspot for
unexplained aerial phenomena.
Over the past 33 years, scientists from Boeing, NASA,
and Lockheed Skunk Works have come to ECETI to research
the activity in the sky.
But what sets ECETI apart from other UFO watch organizations
is that their most powerful observational
tool is not a telescope--
it's remote viewers.
Remote viewing is essentially taking people who have,
or believe they have, the ability to see things--
not with their eyes, but with their mind, and putting them
to work gathering intelligence.
My first exposure to remote viewing
came when I ran the UK government's UFO program.
We looked at UFOs, crop circles, alien abductions.
Anything mysterious and unexplained, I did it.
Remote viewing might be tapping into unknown dimensions.
I know this sounds like science fiction,
but actually, it isn't.
Some of the work being done at places like the Large Hadron
Collider are now quite seriously looking at the concept
of other dimensions.
NARRATOR: At ECETI, ex-government remote
viewing expert John Vivanco--
Hi there.
NARRATOR: --and UFO skywatcher Peter Slattery
lead a team of remote viewers.
Today they are working on an experiment that will combine
human observation and remote viewing in an attempt to better
understand what has become a recent increase in UFO
sightings over Washington State's Mount Adams.
So let me know, please, what are your respective backgrounds
with this?
I am a remote viewer.
I've been doing this professionally for 20 years,
over 20 years now.
And I run a team of remote viewers
and we work operational type projects for clients.
And we look at different types of phenomena
that can't be explained through conventional means.
I'm known as an experiencer/contactee,
but also I hold skywatch events.
So we're going to do a skywatch and just see what happens.
Where are we going to do that?
Just going to go out to the skywatch field here.
So let's go and check it out.
OK, great.
NARRATOR: As Nick joins Peter to conduct field surveillance,
John has stationed two remote viewers
in a windowless room, armed with nothing more than a pencil
and a drawing pad.
The way it works is that a remote viewer is given a random
eight-digit number connected to what they're supposed
to remote view.
Now, they don't get what they're supposed to remote view--
only the number.
That's it.
They're going to be at the location
of whatever it is through the mind,
describing exactly what that is.
NICK POPE: So what are these remote viewers actually
going to be doing in there?
It's not so much viewing.
We get visual snippets and a lot of body sensations.
Basically, they're going to be drawing
and writing a lot on paper, so.
And afterwards, once we've got the data,
how are we actually going to analyze it?
So I will collect that information
from them when they're done.
And then in the morning, we can meet up
and see if we can come up with some explanation
for what went on. - Well, great.
That sounds good.
I hope that we're going to have some interesting and meaningful
results.
NARRATOR: After discussing the details of the evening's plans,
Peter and Nick part ways with John
and join the rest of the skywatch team in the field.
NICK POPE: Pete, I see the team has grown somewhat.
PETER SLATTERY: Yeah, we've got Adam here with us.
He's going to be helping out with the satellite tracker
and monitoring the gear.
Just very important to be very quick off the mark,
knowing what's what.
Sometimes we could have two things
in the sky at the same time and one of them
could be a satellite, the other not.
People can mix it up.
So when we're focused on the sky,
it's great that somebody is focused
on the satellite tracker.
Great.
So we're essentially making sure we don't miss anything?
Oh, definitely, yeah.
We don't want to muddle things up.
NARRATOR: The team gets to work setting up the watch station
before the sun goes down for the evening.
They will be using various technology, including
infrared cameras, in order to capture
any anomalies in the sky.
The location for their watch overlooks Mount Adams,
the largest active volcano in Washington State
and a hotspot for UFO sightings.
As night sets in, the team has all eyes glued to the sky
and on the lookout for any objects
that might cross their path.
Utilizing real-time satellite tracking data,
they can anticipate the arrival of all manmade traffic
passing over their airspace.
Hey, is that a satellite?
PETER SLATTERY: Yep.
NARRATOR: Including the International
Space Station, or ISS.
NICK POPE: Adam, how are we on the timing with the ISS?
PETER SLATTERY: One more minute.
NICK POPE: And which direction, west?
It's going to be coming from the west, moving to the east.
ADAM WALLBERG: Look at how bright this thing is.
PETER SLATTERY: Whoa!
Oh there it is, eh?
See?
That's the space station. ADAM WALLBERG: That is the ISS.
PETER SLATTERY: Can you see that?
ADAM WALLBERG: Yep. NICK POPE: OK.
NARRATOR: While the field team watches the sky,
the remote viewers are sketching visual representations
of whatever comes to them.
Incredibly, as the International Space Station passes overhead,
both women begin to draw virtually
identical rectangular objects.
Well, it's not a UFO, but it's still
a pretty spectacular thing.
PETER SLATTERY: It's pretty epic to see.
NARRATOR: After spotting a few other satellites in the sky,
Nick and Peter notice a mysterious fast-moving object,
one that does not appear to be a satellite.
PETER SLATTERY: One right there right now.
Look how quick it is.
Is that a satellite?
I've got it on camera.
ADAM WALLBERG: Where you at?
PETER SLATTERY: East-southeast.
ADAM WALLBERG: I see nothing on the tracker.
PETER SLATTERY: Can you see it up here, guys?
OK, I definitely saw it up in that section
of the sky with my naked eye.
It just caught my attention out of the corner of my eye,
I turned round, saw it for a few seconds, and then it faded.
That's exactly what I saw.
NICK POPE: And there was nothing on the monitor at all?
Nope, nothing at all.
That section of the sky was clear.
NICK POPE: And that's satellites.
What about aircraft and flight paths?
Nope, everything was clear.
NICK POPE: OK.
Well, it was something.
NARRATOR: Did Nick Pope and the ECETI team spot
an extraterrestrial object in the night sky,
one that inexplicably disappeared?
