Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center presents recorded witness accounts describing clusters of seven or more objects trailing sparks, with one witness noting an object leaving and rejoining the formation. Reports emerge of F-15s scrambling from Portland, military scanner traffic continuing past midnight, and a couple in Utah describing a U-turn maneuver followed by an apparent ground impact. News outlets attribute the event to a Russian booster rocket reentering early.
UFO attorney Peter Gersten joins to discuss his new lawsuit under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, arguing the federal government must protect states against invasion. He details his unsuccessful attempt to subpoena Davenport regarding a meeting with federal officials who privately confirmed UFOs are real, intelligently controlled, and a source of concern to their agency.
Key Moments
Power fails ten seconds before air: Art returns to the air on emergency generator after the entire Pahrump Valley loses power roughly ten seconds before the segment is due to begin, on the same night a major sky event is being reported across the West.
Eerie blackout across the Pahrump Valley: Art steps outside and describes the entire valley going utterly dark with only a few candle-lit windows visible, broadcasting solely on an 11.5-kilowatt propane generator.
Davenport: cluster of seven objects in formation: Peter Davenport reports that an estimated seven large objects traversed the full length of California from northwest to southeast, with witnesses also reporting military aircraft launching south from Portland in apparent pursuit.
Chico mother: a minute and a half across the sky: An audio cut from a Chico, California family describes glittery-tailed UFOs visible horizon to horizon for a minute to a minute and a half, with one object breaking out of formation and maneuvering back into line.
Sparks trailing off the wrong end: Davenport argues against a routine reentry: witnesses describe sparks streaming from the rear of the objects, not the leading edge, and the formation is reported to be maneuvering - behavior inconsistent with falling space junk.
