Ecker presents photographs from NASA archives showing objects that appear to have rolled upward out of craters on the moon, leaving tank-like tread marks. In the King's Crater region, Ecker points out structures resembling a satellite dish and buildings with illuminated windows. He notes that a NASA geologist at Ames Research Center agreed to discuss the photos on camera but withdrew after actually viewing them.
Ecker argues that secrecy surrounding lunar findings parallels UFO concealment, citing the Brookings Institute report prepared for NASA that warned contact with a technologically superior civilization could destabilize human societies. Art and Ecker debate why NASA would suppress such evidence rather than use it to secure funding for future missions.
Key Moments
Mystery 3.39 MHz signal: HAARP or not?: Art opens with a live, ear-splitting pulsed signal on 3.39 MHz that listeners across the country are hearing day and night; Nick Begich reports HAARP's inventor Bernard Eastland thinks someone is accelerating electrons - possibly HIPAS, the Norwegians, or the Russians.
Knocking out tornadoes with microwaves: Begich connects HAARP-style technology to a Scientific American piece on Eastland's NASA/FEMA-funded plan to disrupt supercell tornadoes from satellites with 500-foot microwave beams - and the danger of intensifying a storm if you miss the cold downdraft.
Two objects rolled up out of Vitello crater: Don Ecker walks Art through a NASA lunar photo showing two objects that rolled up and out of Vitello crater leaving tank-like tread marks - and notes NASA's lunar seismometers were turned off, ruling out a moonquake explanation.
Paul Hill, NACA, and NASA's UFO gag rule: Ecker describes how P-47 designer and NACA scientist Paul Hill was told by director Hugh Dryden that UFOs were officially nonexistent and he'd be fired for discussing his sighting - and that policy carried straight into NASA from day one.
UFO entered nuclear missile silo and disabled the warhead: Ecker cites the Fawcett and Greenwood FOIA-documented 1970s Dakotas incident where a UFO entered a nuclear weapons storage facility and disabled the warhead so completely the entire missile had to be replaced.
