In this video we will look at the bizarre proposal that the human race was designed and transported by an alternative civilisation, thousands – perhaps millions- of years ago; a story that has evolved and reconstructed itself over the course of time, much like our species. Could it be that the hunt is over? Could we, in fact, be the aliens we seek? What evidence is there to prove this theory?

When it comes to the great debate surrounding claims of extra-terrestrial beings existing in the vast arena of space – or indeed closer to home (here on Earth) – the race to identify, communicate and disclose the secret that has plagued humanity for millennia takes centre stage. Global superpowers such as The United States, Russia and The United Kingdom focus their attention on satellite navigation, radar technology and the exploration of the nearby cosmos in the hope that something, somewhere is found. China; one of the world’s leading imperiums, is conducting its own investigations and laying claim to the existence of alien beings across the astronomical plane. In recent times, with the rise of the internet, social media and handheld technologies, anyone can present so-called ‘evidence’ of UFO’s, aliens or any number of mysterious events and creatures with just a few clicks and a dash of Photoshop. Luckily, the infrastructure generated by institutes such as NASA, gives us a clear image of what is happening ‘out there’ in Space.

Since 1946, 79 known bodies have been found in or near the park, many of which were killed elsewhere and brought to the park for disposal. Although some areas have been closed off or cleared to make it more attractive to visitors, Leakin Park will always be associated with death, and those who walk through it must always be aware of the possibility of discovering its next victim...

It is fair to say that most conspiracy theories or credible UFO sightings stem from previous decades, across every continent and from what we have heard or read in books. On this channel we aim to cover them all, as well as the current, ongoing mysteries that cannot be explained – or are in the process of being uncovered as we speak. At this moment we are 10 months into a war which dramatically erupted on 24th February – the War in Ukraine. And yet; with everything we have come to witness on our television screens, live streams and written testimonies by those reporting or involved in the conflict, it would appear that a new story is beginning to emerge. Why has there been so many sightings of unidentified flying objects over the skies of Ukraine? Are these just militarised aircraft that we have yet to understand or conduct tests upon? Or; is there perhaps a separate war raging in the skies above the former Soviet Union? Join us as we conduct our own reports and analysis on what is REALLY going on in Ukraine- here on this episode of Destination Declassified.

Unfortunately, as we can see from recent environmental catastrophes, as well as the sickening cruelty towards our fellow beings, certain animals are at risk of becoming extinct or forced from their natural habitat; which, I’m sure you will agree, is a monumental crisis and colossal failure on our part - to a certain extent. However; what if the livelihood and wellbeing of the animal kingdom – especially those who reside in the open areas of farmland – were, in fact, being targeted by entities NOT of this Earth? In this video we will look at the historic- not to mention shocking- stories of cattle mutilation that have been reported and discussed at length throughout the years and across the United States - as well as the conspiracies that have followed in their wake.

The concept of secret societies has been the subject of numerous reports, investigations and fascinating stories for decades. For some; these shadowy groups of powerful, all seeing / all knowing individuals are a myth; a design for keeping everyone ‘in line’ by using a fabricated threat of global tyranny as the method for the implementation of social obedience. From the Knights Templar to the Freemasons, tales of highly powerful and influential men and women have a longstanding, mysterious history - which has fascinated conspiracy theorists for years. And yet; despite what we already know about such groups, through the likes of David Icke- or Jon Ronson, author of THEM!- there is still a lot to uncover and dissect. There are those who wish to discover the truth and potentially infiltrate such sinister factions to discover their genuine purpose and what leverage they have on global politics, economy and population; it is the purpose of this video to discuss one of these organisations.

Nowadays; despite the evidence which is being presented and scrutinised on a daily basis as well as the shifting beliefs and perspectives on the UFO phenomenon, there are some cases which still remain unsolved or overlooked. In the case of the Medford UFO sighting that occurred in the winter of 1975, this premise surely applies. If you haven’t heard of it, you are not the only one. So what happened on that day, nearly half a century ago? Who saw the mysterious object? And what subsequent events transpired that resulted in a case (which even attracted the likes of the actor Leonard Nemoy) to be shut down as quickly as it came to light?
