Here is some of the best UFO footage captured by NASA and released accidentally.
As it was produced like a documentary and meant to be shown an episode of the series "Science Report", many people still believe Alternative 3 was based on a true story. The fact it has never been repeated on British TV has given ammunition to conspiracy theorists who believe Alternative 3 was meant to blow the whistle on an actual government project and alien threat. The film was originally intended to be broadcast on April Fools'Day as a hoax, but it was delayed until June by industrial action.

Alternative 3 Part 2 of 2
“The next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.”
— General Douglas MacArthur speech to West Point graduating cadets in 1955.
"I can assure you that flying saucers, given that they exist, are not constructed by any power on earth."
— President Harry S. Truman, 1950.
"I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world."
— President Ronald Reagan, Speech to the United Nations, 42nd General Assembly, September 21, 1987
“There was something out there that was close enough to be observed... what could it be? Obviously the three of us were not going to blurt out ‘hey Houston we have something moving along side of us and we don’t know what it is.. cause we know that those transmissions would have been heard by all sorts of people and who knows that they might demand that we turn back because of aliens or whatever...”
— Buzz Aldrin, NASA Apollo 11 Astronaut.
"I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets... Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs." "I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe."
— Major Gordon Cooper, NASA Apollo Astronaut, to the United Nations
"It is true that I was denied access to a facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, because I never got in. I can't tell you what was inside. We both know about the rumors concerning a captured UFO and crew members. I have never seen what I would call a UFO, but I have intelligent friends who have."
— US Senator, US Air Force General, and candidate for President, Barry Goldwater, quoted from a letter he wrote dated April 11, 1979.
"If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and scientists. I am convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one."
— President Jimmy Carter during his Presidential campaign.
"Of course it is possible that UFO's really do contain aliens as many people believe, and the government is hushing it up."
— Professor Stephen Hawking on C Span Television.
"We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base is at present unknown to us. More I cannot say at present. We are now engaged in entering into closer contact with those powers, and in six or nine months time it may be possible to speak with some precision on the matter."
— Dr. Wernher von Braun, father of American Space Program, reflecting on the deflection of the US June 2 rocket from orbit in 1959.
"UFOs are conceived and directed by intelligent beings. They probably do not originate in our solar system." Years later he was quoted as saying, "We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone. We have been helped." When asked by whom, he replied,"The people of other worlds."
— Dr. Herman Oberth, father of modern rocketry, 1954
“I've been convinced for a long time that the flying saucers are real and interplanetary. Another words, we are being watched by beings from outer space.”
— Albert M. Chop, deputy public relations director, NASA, and former United States Air Force spokesman for Project Blue Book.
"Phobos' purpose would probably be to sweep up radiation in Mars' atmosphere, so that Martians could safely operate around their planet... My conclusion there is, and here I back Shklovsky, that if the satellite is indeed spiraling inward as deduced from astronomical observation, then there is little alternative to the hypothesis that it is hollow and therefore martian made."
— S, Fred Singer then science advisor to U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Phobos might be a colossal base orbiting Mars, and that NASA itself was considering the possibility.”
— Raymond H. Wilson Jr., Chief of Applied Mathematics at NASA
"What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?"
— Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordering Air Minister Lord Cherwell to investigate the UFO phenomenon in 1952.
“There was something out there that was close enough to be observed... what could it be? Obviously the three of us were not going to blurt out ‘hey Houston we have something moving along side of us and we don’t know what it is.. cause we know that those transmissions would have been heard by all sorts of people and who knows that they might demand that we turn back because of aliens or whatever...”
— Buzz Aldrin, NASA Apollo 11 Astronaut.
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”
— President John F. Kennedy gave at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on April 27, 1961.
