程度副詞

One misty evening in August 1990, two men were hiking in the Scottish Highlands, when they spotted a rather strange looking object.

1990 年 8 月一個薄霧瀰漫的傍晚，兩名男子在蘇格蘭高地徒步旅行時，發現了一個看起來相當奇怪的物體。

情態副詞

An object with no visible means of propulsion, simply hanging silently and motionlessly in the sky.

一個沒有明顯推進裝置的物體，只是靜靜地、一動不動地懸掛在空中。

分詞構句

Suddenly gripped with fear, the men took cover behind a tree, barely able to process what they were seeing.

這些人突然被恐懼攫住，躲在一棵樹後面，幾乎無法處理他們所看到的一切。

But fortunately, while one of them had a camera and the presence of mind to use it.

但幸運的是，他們中的一個人有照相機，而且有心使用它。

As the shutter clicked, the silence was shattered by the roar of a Harrier jet tearing through the clouds, circling the strange diamond shaped craft, as if it were preparing for a confrontation.

隨著快門的咔嚓聲，一架鷂式飛機的轟鳴聲打破了寧靜，它撕破雲層，繞著那架奇怪的菱形飛行器盤旋，似乎在準備一場對抗。

And then without warning, the object shot straight upwards and vanished, leaving only questions behind.

然後，在毫無徵兆的情況下，這個物體筆直地向上飛去，消失得無影無蹤，只留下了疑問。

The photo they captured that day has since been called the greatest UFO photo ever taken.

他們當天拍攝的照片被稱為史上最偉大的 UFO 照片。

There's footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are.

有一些關於天空中物體的錄像和記錄，但我們並不知道它們到底是什麼。

我們無法解釋它們是如何移動的。

They did not have an easily explainable path.

他們沒有一條容易解釋的道路。

When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is it's not just a pilot or just a satellite.

當我們談到目擊事件時，我要告訴你們的另一件事是，這不僅僅是飛行員或衛星的問題。

Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things.

通常，我們有多個傳感器來捕捉這些東西。

There's actually quite a few more than have been made public.

What do you think is the most likely hypothesis?

您認為最有可能的假設是什麼？

I think some of the phenomena we're going to be seeing might in fact be some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.

我認為，我們將要看到的一些現象實際上可能是某種類型的活動，有人可能會說這是一種不同形式的生命。

I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program.

我在執行公務的過程中獲悉，UAP 正在進行一項長達數十年的墜機檢索和逆向工程計劃。

Non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity and there are unelected people in the government that are aware of that.

非人類智慧一直在與人類互動，政府中一些非民選人士也意識到了這一點。

You know, when I tell friends I'm interested in UFOs, the reactions are predictably mixed.

要知道，當我告訴朋友我對不明飛行物感興趣時，他們的反應可想而知是褒貶不一。

Some roll their eyes, others are confused as though I've just announced I'm joining a cult in rural Wales.

有的人翻白眼，有的人一頭霧水，好像我剛剛宣佈要加入威爾士農村的一個邪教組織。

I may have stayed in the most haunted prison in the UK, in Japan's most haunted hotel, but I don't believe in ghosts.

我可能住過英國鬧鬼最多的監獄，住過日本鬧鬼最多的酒店，但我不相信有鬼。

Because a belief in the paranormal requires a leap of faith or a personal experience, something I simply haven't had in 35 years.

因為相信超自然現象需要信念的飛躍或親身經歷，而這是我 35 年來從未有過的。

The barrier to entry is lower, simply because we have physical data to pore over.

入門門檻較低，因為我們有實物數據可以翻閱。

Whether that's photographs or military-grade footage or eyewitness testimony from train pilots and military officials.

無論是照片、軍事級別的錄像，還是火車飛行員和軍方官員的目擊證詞。

It's not about jumping to conclusions about aliens or little green men.

這不是要對外星人或小綠人妄下結論。

That's always been the problem with this subject.

這一直是這個問題的癥結所在。

It's simply about trying to explain the unexplainable.

它只是試圖解釋無法解釋的事情。

And I'll comfortably admit, in the past five years, I've fallen down something of a rabbit hole.

我很欣慰地承認，在過去的五年裡，我掉進了一個兔子洞。

Because if you keep your eyes and ears open to the news, whatever you believe in this subject, undoubtedly, something rather strange is going on.

因為如果你留心觀察新聞，無論你相信什麼，毫無疑問，一些相當奇怪的事情正在發生。

In 2017, the UFO topic was blown wide open when the New York Times published an article revealing the Pentagon had quietly spent $22 million on a secret program called AATIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

2017年，《紐約時報》發表了一篇文章，披露五角大樓悄悄花費了2200萬美元用於一個名為AATIP（高級航空威脅識別計劃）的祕密項目，UFO話題是以被炒得沸沸揚揚。

Alongside the article were three now-iconic videos, showing declassified footage of what the US government called unidentified aerial phenomena.

與這篇文章同時發佈的還有三段現在已成為標誌性事件的視頻，展示了美國政府所謂的不明空中現象的解密鏡頭。

After all, the acronym UFO has something of a stigma attached to it, historically.

畢竟，"UFO "這個首字母縮寫詞在歷史上就帶有某種烙印。

Anyway, a year later, the Pentagon confirmed that the videos were indeed authentic.

總之，一年後，五角大樓證實了視頻的真實性。

The first video is footage from what is now referred to as the Tic Tac incident, taken in 2004 off the coast of Southern California.

第一段視頻是 2004 年在南加州海岸拍攝的，現在被稱為 "Tic Tac 事件"。

Infrared footage shows a white, oblong object, described as a Tic Tac, hovering mid-air, then suddenly zipping out of frame at high speed, with no visible propulsion, no wings and no exhaust fume.

紅外線鏡頭顯示，一個白色的長圓形物體（被描述為 Tic Tac）在半空中盤旋，然後突然以高速飛出畫面，沒有可見的推進器，沒有翅膀，也沒有廢氣。

And most notably, a pilot, Commander David Fravor, happened to see it visually, saying it dropped tens of thousands of feet in seconds and moved unlike anything he'd ever seen.

最值得注意的是，飛行員戴維-弗拉沃（David Fravor）中校碰巧目睹了它，他說它在幾秒鐘內下降了幾萬英尺，其移動方式與他所見過的任何東西都不一樣。

There were no rotors, no rotor wash, or any sign of visible control surfaces like wings.

沒有旋翼，沒有旋翼沖洗，也沒有任何可見控制面（如機翼）的跡象。

As we started clockwise towards the object, my wizard and I decided to go down and take a closer look, and the object suddenly shifted its longitudinal axis, aligned it with my aircraft, and began to climb.

當我們開始順時針飛向該物體時，我和我的嚮導決定下去仔細觀察一下，該物體突然改變了縱軸，與我的飛機對齊，並開始爬升。

As we pulled nose-on to the object, within about a half mile of it, it rapidly accelerated in front of us and disappeared.

當我們把車頭對準該物體，距離它不到半英里時，它在我們面前迅速加速並消失了。

The controller told us that these objects had been observed for over two weeks, coming down from over 80,000 feet, rapidly descending to 20,000 feet, hanging out for hours, and then going straight back up, for those who don't realise, above 80,000 feet is space.

控制員告訴我們，這些物體已經被觀測了兩個多星期，它們從 8 萬英尺以上的高空降落，迅速下降到 2 萬英尺，在空中停留數小時，然後直接返回高空。

The second video, known simply as Gimbal, was filmed 11 years later, off the east coast of the US by a Navy fighter jet, using a targeting pod.

第二段視頻名為 "Gimbal"，是 11 年後由海軍戰鬥機使用瞄準吊艙在美國東海岸拍攝的。

In the video, a disc-shaped object with a glowing aura rotates mid-air and flies against strong headwinds, with pilots audibly reacting to what they're witnessing.

在視頻中，一個帶著發光光環的圓盤狀物體在半空中旋轉，迎著強勁的逆風飛行，飛行員們聽到了他們目睹的一切的反應。

There's a whole fleet of them, look on the ASA.

有一整支艦隊，請到助理檢察官辦公室查看。

And it's hard to really know what is going on, given how fuzzy the object appears to be.

由於物體看起來非常模糊，很難真正知道發生了什麼。

They're all going against the wind, the wind's 120 miles to the west.

他們都是逆風而行，風向在西邊120英里處。

But if there's another thing, it's rotating.

但如果說還有一件事的話，那就是旋轉。

And finally, the GoFast video from 2015 shows a small object skimming across the ocean at high speed.

最後，2015 年的 GoFast 視頻顯示，一個小物體高速掠過海洋。

Once again, there's no wake, there's no exhaust trail, or obvious means of propulsion, though sceptics argue that it might be a parallax effect of the jet in the air filming something far down below on the ground.

雖然懷疑者認為這可能是噴氣式飛機在空中拍攝遠處地面的視差效應，但它還是沒有尾流，沒有排氣痕跡，也沒有明顯的推進裝置。

With that in mind, it could be as mundane as a balloon.

考慮到這一點，它可以像氣球一樣平凡。

But just as compelling as the acknowledgement of the ATIP programme was the man behind it, Luis Elizondo, a former US Army counterintelligence officer.

但與承認 ATIP 計劃同樣引人注目的是該計劃的幕後推手，前美國陸軍反間諜軍官路易斯-埃利桑多（Luis Elizondo）。

In interviews, he revealed that these videos are simply the tip of the iceberg, and that far more compelling video evidence exists, footage that the US government has refused to release, citing national security concerns.

他在接受採訪時透露，這些視頻只是冰山一角，還有更有說服力的視頻證據，但美國政府以國家安全為由拒絕公開這些錄像。

Do you think any government has recovered a crashed UAP?

你認為有哪個國家的政府回收過墜毀的無人機嗎？

It is my belief that the United States is in possession of exotic material, and unfortunately that's about all I can say at this time.

我相信美國擁有外來材料，但遺憾的是，目前我只能說這麼多。

Ultimately, Elizondo claims that a group working within the US government and closely with defence contractors have been retrieving non-human technology and biological remains for over 70 years.

最終，埃利桑多聲稱，一個在美國政府內部工作並與國防承包商密切協作的組織，70 多年來一直在回收非人類技術和生物遺骸。

But I think for a lot of people, myself included, who've had a kind of passing interest in UFOs, these headlines really made a lot of people sit up and start taking a renewed interest in the subject.

但我認為，對很多人來說，包括我自己在內，對UFO的興趣只是一閃而過，這些頭條新聞確實讓很多人坐不住了，開始重新關注這個話題。

I mean, it all started to sound like a plot from a sci-fi film, and it was about to get a heck of a lot weirder.

我的意思是，這一切聽起來都像是科幻電影裡的情節，而且會變得更加詭異。

I was an intelligence officer for 14 years, both in the US Air Force and most recently at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.

我曾在美國空軍和國家地理空間情報局擔任情報官長達 14 年。

David Grush, a former intelligence officer, claimed under oath to Congress that the US had recovered non-human craft with a crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, having interviewed 40 witnesses over a period of four years.

前情報官員大衛-格魯什（David Grush）向國會宣誓稱，美國在四年時間裡採訪了 40 名證人，通過墜機回收和逆向工程計劃回收了非人類飛船。

Do you believe our government has made contact with intelligent extraterrestrials?

你相信我們的政府與外星智慧生物有過接觸嗎？

It's something I can't discuss in a public setting.

這是我不能在公開場合討論的問題。

That's where we are today, in this sort of strange space where many officials appear to hint at something rather mysterious.

這就是我們今天的處境，在這個奇怪的空間裡，許多官員似乎都在暗示著某種相當神祕的東西。

Others outright just say there's non-human intelligence and the government is hiding it.

還有人直截了當地說，存在非人類智慧，政府在隱藏它。

Whatever way you look at it, it's a lot to take in.

無論從哪個角度看，這都是一個很大的挑戰。

You know, at times I feel like a pendulum swinging between sceptic and being a believer.

你知道，有時我覺得自己就像鐘擺，在懷疑者和信徒之間搖擺不定。

A few years ago, when all this started coming out, I would say I went closer to being a believer.

幾年前，當這一切開始曝光時，我會說我更接近於成為一個信徒。

You know, there were too many videos, too many reports and headlines.

你知道，有太多的視頻、太多的報道和頭條新聞。

It felt almost like there was a sense of momentum, there was some sort of disclosure happening.

感覺就像有一種動力，有某種披露正在發生。

But on the other hand, part of me struggles, you know, in a world with 7 billion smartphones, people with cameras in their pockets, why is everything so goddamn blurry all the time?

但另一方面，我也在掙扎，你知道，在一個擁有 70 億部智能手機、人們口袋裡都裝著相機的世界裡，為什麼所有的東西都那麼模糊？

And with AI and deepfakes now, how can we really trust any modern day footage?

現在有了人工智能和深度偽造，我們怎麼能真正相信任何現代鏡頭呢？

Still, I wonder, maybe we do have all the evidence we need and we've simply ignored it or discounted it over the years.

不過，我還是想知道，也許我們確實掌握了我們所需要的所有證據，只是多年來我們忽視了它們，或者對它們大打折扣。

And Lord knows, if I was non-human intelligence, I would be far more interested in a huge nuclear-powered aircraft carrier going around the sea, as opposed to observing mere civilians.

天知道，如果我是非人類智慧生物，我會對在海上航行的巨大核動力航空母艦更感興趣，而不是觀察普通平民。

And of course, those are locations that do have high-tech infrared military sensors capable of potentially capturing these craft.

當然，這些地點確實有高科技紅外軍事傳感器，能夠捕捉到這些飛行器。

And what about the people making these outrageous claims?

那麼提出這些無理要求的人呢？

比如大衛-格魯什，比如路易斯-埃利桑多。

They seem measured, eloquent, and their credentials really do check out.

他們看起來很有分寸，能言善辯，而且他們的資歷確實是有目共睹的。

They aren't random internet personalities.

These are people who swore under oath, with reputations and careers on the line.

這些人都是發過誓的，他們的名譽和職業生涯都岌岌可危。

Sure, you could say they have something to gain financially.

當然，你可以說他們有經濟利益。

I mean, in the case of Luis Elizondo, his book Imminent was a New York Times bestseller.

我的意思是，就路易斯-埃利桑多而言，他的書《迫在眉睫》是《紐約時報》的暢銷書。

He is undoubtedly financially invested in this subject.

毫無疑問，他在這個問題上投入了大量資金。

But ultimately, it comes down to two unsettling possibilities.

但歸根結底，有兩種令人不安的可能性。

Number one, a number of highly credible individuals have been completely misled.

第一，一些可信度很高的人完全被誤導了。

And honestly, that might be a more terrifying idea than UFOs, given these are people often at the top of government positions.

老實說，鑑於這些人往往是政府高層，這可能是比 UFO 更可怕的想法。

Or number two, something really is happening.

或者是第二種情況，真的發生了什麼。

Something that defies our understanding of physics, technology, and perhaps reality itself.

這種東西違背了我們對物理學、技術的理解，或許也違背了現實本身。

Now, I've been wanting to make this video for years, partly for my own sanity.

多年來，我一直想製作這段視頻，部分原因是為了保持理智。

You know, I feel like there could be something huge going on, and it is slowly being drip-fed to the public.

你知道，我感覺可能有什麼大事要發生，而且正在慢慢地向公眾透露。

Like, when I think about it, if I was in the government and I wanted to announce the presence of non-human intelligence, the best way to do that would be slowly and surely, warm people up to the idea.

比如，我想了想，如果我是政府人員，我想宣佈非人類智慧的存在，最好的辦法就是慢慢地、肯定地讓人們接受這個想法。

Like, think about it, if the government outright announced right now that there was non-human intelligence here operating on planet Earth, think of the absolute panic, the fear, the terror that would ensue.

想想看，如果政府現在就直接宣佈地球上有非人類智慧生物在活動，想想看，隨之而來的絕對是恐慌、恐懼和恐怖。

And what better way to inform the public than doing it slowly?

還有什麼比慢慢地向公眾宣傳更好的呢？

And clearly, it's kind of working, because 42% of the American population believes in UFOs.

很明顯，這招還挺管用的，因為42%的美國人相信有UFO。

And the question I ask myself is, why do I have an interest in this, or a belief in it perhaps, more than my friends around me, who are, as I've said, fairly sceptical?

我問自己的問題是，為什麼我比我周圍的朋友對這個問題更感興趣，或者更相信它？

Like, does having an interest in science fiction predispose you to the subject?

比如，對科幻小說感興趣是否會讓你傾向於這一主題？
