We're in the Bahamas now investigating a UFO
connection around a real American military installation
called AUTEC.
AUTEC stands for the Atlantic Undersea
Test and Evaluation Center.
It was opened in 1967.
It's on Andros Island, a remote location in the Bahamas.
It sits on what's called the "tongue of the ocean."
This is a deep ocean basin that's
roughly 110 nautical miles long, 20
nautical miles wide, and reaches depths of 6,000 feet.
It's a perfect spot for testing new top secret weapons,
submarines, and other exotic underwater craft.
How are you, Max?
WILLIAM J. BIRNES: Maximillien De Lafayette
is a French ufologist who's written
numerous encyclopedias about UFOs, extraterrestrials,
and time travel.
You said you know the secret from your sources
of what AUTEC is and what is going on at AUTEC.
WILLIAM J. BIRNES: President Eisenhower.
When you say "they had a meeting," who is they?
WILLIAM J. BIRNES: According to Maximillien, back in 1958,
US government officials had a secret meeting
with extraterrestrials.
And the very next year, the order to build AUTEC was given.
The timing of both events strikes
me as more than coincidental.
INVESTIGATOR: Maximillien is telling us
some pretty unbelievable things, but I'm
willing to bet that there's not a single scientist
in the world that will go on record and back him up.
I need to know what your sources are for this information.
WILLIAM J. BIRNES: The US military working on and perhaps
working with alien technology.
Where have we heard this before?
Area 51.
Is AUTEC something like a portal, where there are
doorways into other dimensions?
A gateway.
Wait, wait, wait.
So the theory then is that somehow Atlantis was part
of a unicontinent, which then separated when
the tectonic plates shifted?
Correct.
INVESTIGATOR: This part of what Maximillien says
is based in science.
There was a single continent millions of years ago, Pangea.
Everything else you have to keep an open mind
and just evaluate the proof.
Who lived in Atlantis?
I mean, isn't it a bit much?
Aren't we, like, are we reaching?
Are we trying to, like, roll every possible theory
into one giant UFO burrito?
The only thing it has to do with AUTEC is location.
It's happening all in the same area.
Is there some ulterior thing going
on here that has to do with extraterrestrials
and AUTEC and the Navy?
I can't say that.
Right now, I'm just seeing coincidences.
And then to top all these coincidences or this location
business off, there is the likelihood
of some kind of interdimensional portal here.
Yes, there are some very unusual things going on
around AUTEC, but it doesn't necessarily
mean that there's any kind of extraterrestrial involvement.
There's no proof that the government is
working with aliens at AUTEC.
All we have is testimony by some very credible witnesses.
But there are no videos, no photos,
and no tangible evidence.
No matter how you slice it, any which way you go,
the Navy chose to put that test center in that place, remote,
guarded.
Nobody can get there.
Who else do we know that did that?
The Air Force, putting it-- their own test
center at Area 51 in Nevada.
Air Force Area 51, AUTEC is the Navy's Area 51.
