interpreted are going to be subject to negotiation. so, it's not accurate to suggest that -- and i don't think my team has ever suggested -- that somehow everything's all done and it's just a matter of writing it up. this is a situation in which we have a framework that is, if implemented powerful, and will achieve our goal of making sure iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. but the details make a big difference. how they're structured. and i guarantee you there will be some tough negotiations around that. and that's what i said the first day when we announced that we had an agreement, and that's what we've continued to say. so, there's really no contradiction here. and keep in mind that when we started this process off, even with the interim agreement, when we signed the jpoa way back at
4:01 pm
the beginning of this whole thing, there was a similar back-and-forth in terms of interpretation of how this was going to be implemented and, you know, the iranians were saying that's not true and we were saying this. but once we actually got through the negotiations, it turned out that we had something that was substantially, that was subject to review by everybody involved, and that has proven to be highly effective. even by the assessments of critics of the policy like the israelis, they said, yeah, this actually has worked. iran's abided by the agreement. in fact, now they're suggesting why don't we just stay here it's worked so well despite the fact that they'd made almost the precise same argument they are making about the final deal. but, you know, consistency is the hobgoblin of narrow minds.
4:02 pm
cuba, i will -- i will tell you we did not get into the level of detail, karen, that you just described. and i'm impressed with how many details you seem to be aware of. you know, as i said before, the state sponsor of terrorism recommendation will be coming to me. i will read it. i will review it. there's a process whereby if, in fact, i accept those recommendations, congress has an opportunity to review it as well, and it will be there for people to see. i think that the concerns around the embassy are going to be mostly on the cuban side. they haven't dealt with an american embassy in cuba in quite some time. and, you know, changing in this way is i'm sure an unsettling
4:03 pm
process. you know, we're accustomed to this. we've gone through now a number of times with china and with vietnam and other countries. we reopened diplomatic relations, and we understand i think, are familiar with, how that gets done. in a way that's consistent with improving diplomatic relations over the long term. this is probably a more profound shift for them than it is for us. but we stand ready to move forward. we're confident that it can lead to an improved dialogue. and our bottom line at the end is that it can lead to an improved set of prospects for the cuban people. and i'll say just in closing to, you know, all the people here from latin american countries, thank you for this extraordinary
4:04 pm
opportunity. i want to thank the people of panama. i am very optimistic about this region, and the main reason i'm optimistic about this region is because of its people. they are extraordinary. and -- thank you very much. >> president barack obama 6:05 local time there in panama just wrapping up a news briefing with reporters answering five questions over the course of what was about 45 minutes. mostly about iran. probably not what the president wanted to cover during this briefing. but as it goes wrx he had to answer the questions. senior white house correspondent chris jansing is there with the president and has been watching him throughout his trip so far and i guess the question here, chris, in two minutes, is this the way they had written the
4:05 pm
script? is this what he wanted to be saying at this moment? >> reporter: well, i don't know that he wanted to be talking so much about iran, although he certainly hasn't been shy about it. a lot of the same things we had heard before, although i thought it was interesting he said, i don't understand why everyone is working so hard to anticipate failure. that was sort of a new phraseology for the frustration he has that this is an ongoing negotiation. but, look, he is going to leave here, having gotten a lot of what he wanted, right? i mean, it wasn't just a photo-op. it is an historic moment. there is a sense of history that is happening there, and even though there are still a lot of tough negotiations ahead, he took us inside that room with raul castro for this extraordinary meeting. first one in more than 50 years. and we got a sense of their disagreements as well as their agreements. and so he goes home, i think, with very much what he wanted on the topic of cuba. but he goes back to that harsh reality of iran. and you heard him with a tough
4:06 pm
defense of john kerry, his secretary of state. so, that clock is ticking toward the june 30th deadline. and also i think another headline out of this, richard, is going to be him talking about his former secretary of state hillary clinton expected to formally announce for president. he said he wasn't going to talk very long about that, but i actually thought we got more extensive comments than we have had in the past including saying i'm not on the ballot trying to give her room to run her own campaign, richard? >> chris, i think we'll be hearing that line in the next couple of years from president obama. >> reporter: yes. >> in the 45 seconds we have here, that discussion with raul castro, what's the word on the ground, he did give us some yld of how detailed they got in their conversation. you were just mentioning that. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, they're not getting into the nitty-gritty details, that stuff is really handled on a staff level and it's been being talked about really since they first made the announcement back in
4:07 pm
democrats. but i think this is about finding some sort of personal relationship they're going to have to do it to move through the very hard negotiations that they're going to have. and they've been together three til times, they had a phone call and they saw each other yesterday and they are getting a good measure of each other and a sense of where their agreements and disagreements lie. >> nbc's senior white house correspondent chris jansing there with the president at the summit of the americas, appreciate that as always and the reporting. this as we finish our special reporting here on the president's visit to the summit for the america's in panama city. we'll go back to regular programming. more news later here on msnbc. making a fist something we do to show resolve. to defend ourselves. to declare victory. so cvs health provides expert support and vital medicines. make a fist for me. at our infusion centers or in patients homes.

4:11 pm
if it's true, i think a portion of the population would freak out. >> july 26th, 1996. los angeles, california. filmmaker jeff broadstreet is working at a video distribution company called rocket pictures when a man identifying himself as victor calls claiming to have smuggled highly classified footage out of america's most secretive military base. >> he said that he had reason to be at area 51. he wouldn't say whether he was an employee there or not, but wanted to get the information out. >> it's unclear why victor contacts rocket pictures specifically, but what is clear is that his footage is extraordinary. >> it is a typical gray alien, and it's supposedly being interviewed by an area 51 telepath. >> unable to prove whether the alien in victor's tape is real
4:12 pm
or not, broadstreet takes a gamble and produces the documentary, "area 51: the alien interview." >> i thought it looked kind of puppetty, but there was something compelling about it. it was kind of creepy. that's why i was going to make the documentary one way or the other. >> the mysterious "victor" agrees to be interviewed for broadstreet's documentary only if he's filmed in silhouette and his voice is altered. >> my purpose is to expose the existence of the aliens, not compromise these individuals. i made the decision to come forward. i'm taking precautions to protect my own identity. >> if you believe his story, you know, he smuggled highly classified footage. i mean, he'd be in a lot of trouble. big, big trouble. >> victor reveals that the ebe, or extraterrestrial biological entity, arrives at area 51 in 1989, the same year some believe a flying saucer is shot down
4:13 pm
over the kalahari desert in south africa. legend has it two aliens survive the crash. no word on what happens to ebe number one, but ebe two is allegedly flown to area 51 for questioning. >> he said that they were interviewing the alien a certain number of times a week for a certain number of hours. >> the alien, victor says, is interviewed telepathically. of course, the universal language of human meets extraterrestrial. >> approximately twice a month they sit it down for a session that generally lasts from three to five hours. >> could this alien be part of an elaborate government plan? some conspiracy theorists believe in the existence of project sigma. >> project sigma was a, sort of an exchange program. >> the rumored project is believed to have been implemented by president eisenhower in the 1950s following the alleged crash of an alien spacecraft in roswell, new mexico.
4:14 pm
some say eisenhower sought ways to communicate with aliens. he wanted to make a deal. >> eisenhower made the agreement with the aliens that they would get dna from us, and then they would get to abduct a certain number of people. >> he showed up five days later saying he had been captured but not harmed by creatures from outer space. >> we would get technology. after that, we suddenly had fiber optics and night vision goggles and the computer chip. so we made this huge leap forward in the late '50s, early '60s. >> could this allegedly smuggled videotape be proof, as some believe, that project sigma is real and active in the 1980s? if so, we may never know because the video unfortunately or,
4:15 pm
perhaps, conveniently is silent. >> i can't allow the voices of the project personnel to be heard by the general public. there's a very good chance their family or friends on the outside might recognize them -- >> here is the alien interview in its entirety just as it appeared in broadstreet's documentary with victor's commentary as an audio guide. >> we're looking at the interview suite at s4. it's kept dark for the comfort of the aliens. the figure who is just barely visible in the left foreground is the telepath. behind the camera is a seating area for the observers. although in this case i believe the only other person present was a military aide. the alien is seated behind a glass partition behind a biocontainment area which is maintained at biosafety level two, the lowest designation.
4:16 pm
that's primarily for the protection of the aliens, not us. the theory is that if they were going to infect with us an alien bug, it would have happened 50 years ago. in fact, all the indications are the aliens eliminated microbial and viral life from their own ecosystem long ago. they aren't susceptible to our diseases directly, but it has been shown that microbes can reproduce and form colonies within their respiratory systems which tends to exacerbate the debilities they seem to suffer anyway in our environment. in fact, you can see here the alien is beginning to flag. the interview is not going well. the telepath was trying to clarify some points from a previous interview, but he wasn't receiving coherent responses. as you see, the being is in real distress. at this point the telepath is sending out a message to the medical staff.
4:17 pm
he's trying to communicate with the alien, but he's getting no response. there's very little he can do. there's no direct connection between his space and the bio containment area. that's the aide stepping in on the right. the medical staff should be there by now. they're slow in responding. there they are. i have to say the medical personnel in s4 are less than first rate. they tend to be selected for their willingness to keep secrets rather than their medical competence. by the way, he's not shining that light into the eyes. it looks that way, but in fact he's checking for hemorrhaging around the eye sockets and the nasal cavity. i'm sorry. it's very hard for me to watch this.
4:18 pm
>> the u.s. government has never commented on broadstreet's documentary. yet it has denied having evidence that extraterrestrials have made contact with humans. >> i do know the interviews came to an end. whether the being died or was retired -- and i don't mean that in a spy sense of having it killed -- i mean retired from the interview process. i just don't know. >> we just found out tomorrow, yeah, aliens are really real and they're here among us, there's a big portion of the population that would completely freak out. >> some wonder if this video and its extraordinary subject could, in fact, be real. we asked a specialist. >> i have no doubt that it is an animatronic puppet. >> glen hedrick is a hollywood makeup effects artist. >> the telltale signs to me are that it goes through repetitively and redundantly a very specific set of movements. and those parameters are most
4:19 pm
likely the cause of the fact that there's only so many pieces inside of the head, if you will. >> hedrick also finds the props in the interview room suspicious. >> if i were to set up a scene and we were going to shoot a puppet, i'd want something similar to this where we have limited coverage on the subject within the frame, and then we have a desk or something that enables us to get underneath it in order to puppeteer it. >> and what about the lighting? >> ostensibly the alien is sensitive to light. >> it's kept dark for the comfort of the aliens. >> it's a low-light situation, but it's still lit. and as a matter of fact, the one light that we do have is directly on the alien's face and eyes. now, if it was sensitive to light, we could have shot this with infrared or something. as a concept, it's very cool. but i think to just about any working effects artist, it's pretty clear that this is a bit of film magic.
4:20 pm
>> broadstreet's documentary, "area 51: the alien interview," is released in 1997 to mixed reviews. over the years, however, it's become a cult classic. >> if you go on youtube right now, there are literally 10 or 12 pages of people who have posted parts of our show. so clearly people are fascinated by this stuff. >> despite naysayers, some still believe the footage is real and that we are not alone. >> people want to have something bigger than themselves to believe in. sure, i'd like for it to be real. but until a flying saucer lands on the white house lawn and, you know, the whole press corps is there, nobody's going to believe it. >> use your own judgment, that's all any of us can do. coming up, an ancient myth slithers to life. >> you can almost see the face of this snake.
4:21 pm

4:25 pm
runar, a local news reporter. >> he tells me the worm is trying to swim ashore. >> i thought to myself, okay, this is probably some debris floating in the river. i helped him figure out how to take video, and he recorded this video. later that same day, he showed me what he had captured. and i was totally amazed because the debris apparently seems to be swimming. [ speaking native language ] >> the video shows us some sort of snake-shaped form swimming in the river. you can almost see the face of the snake or its eyes. it's amazing, i think. >> runar uploads his uncle's footage to the local news website, and it's an instant sensation. >> the editor of our website called me up and told me that
4:26 pm
the website was almost crashing because there were so many people from japan looking at the video. >> within days, the video has 3 million views. many believe he's captured the infamous lagarfljot worm on camera. >> there have been all kinds of fairy tales and legends about this animal, ascribing it with all kinds of fantastic supernatural powers. >> everyone here learns about this myth when they are a child. >> the legend of the worm dates back to 1345 to the time of the vikings. >> once there was this little girl who had a golden ring, and put the golden ring in the box. she wanted the gold to grow so she would become rich. so she found a little worm and put it on top of the golden ring. and the worm was supposed to protect it and maybe make it grow. >> but as in so many fables, there's a twist.
4:27 pm
>> and the worm grew instead. and so when she found out, she was very afraid, and she took her box and threw it in the river. and there the worm grew and it became a giant monster. >> storybooks tell of a deadly sea serpent wreaking havoc from its watery dwelling. >> caused a lot of trouble for people in this area. i think that the message of the story is that if you don't deal with your problems, they will grow and become everyone else's problems. >> many here claim to have seen the mythical monster. >> people have been seeing all sorts of weird things floating around in the river as long as people can remember and as early as people have been writing stories in iceland. >> but few have caught it on camera. >> i think that this video will probably make the lagarfljot worm as big as the lochness monster or big foot and the most famous creatures on the planet. >> but not everyone here is so excited.
4:28 pm
there are murmurs of a bad omen. >> people here believe that if they see the worm, something big will happen. probably something bad. >> and then there are the nonbelievers. >> it looks to me like there's a crack in the ice, water's running over this crack, and it -- as it goes through it sort of winds and moves. >> it could have been some debris floating in the river. maybe a net. people can start to imagine all sorts of explanations. >> but for this man, there is no question that the lagarfljot worm is real and alive.

the skies. >> sam muranto is the illinois state director for the mutual ufo network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study of unidentified flying objects. >> one of the objects which may be accountable for the isosceles formation may very well be just that, a large isosceles type of craft. >> whatever this is, it's moving slowly and silently. >> maybe that was an airplane. >> that's not an airplane neither. >> an airplane doesn't move that slow. >> that's not an airplane. >> just one. an airplane doesn't just have one red light -- >> that's what i said. but he said -- >> some person said, oh, maybe it's a helicopter. someone else said maybe it's an airplane. but it moved through the sky too slow for a manmade object. >> seems like it's getting faster. >> yeah, it is moving. >> if it was an airplane or a helicopter, it would have taken that path in maybe about a minute.
4:46 pm
we watched this thing for about 15 or 20 minutes. >> finally the lights disappear. >> whoa! where did it go? where did it go? gone. >> and then one solitary light blinks back on. >> there they are. >> this time, everyone's ready. >> what do you see? just a red light. >> i looked through the telescope at this, and from the naked eye it looked like one red l.e.d. light. but through the telescope, it looked like it was oval in shape, and it had about eight, maybe -- 8 to 12 red l.e.d. lights around it. >> what made the tinley park sighting very promising is the volume of video footage. the other thing, this is a mass sighting. i'm talking 100 people or more seeing the same event from various perspectives.
4:47 pm
we had military personnel, we had municipal employees and police officers as witnesses, doctors, lawyers, amateur astronomers, meteorologists, et cetera. >> some witnesses take the sighting more seriously than others. >> it's so cool. we could actually be invaded by aliens. and in a year we could see them again, and our entire species could die out from it because of aliens -- >> we'll talk about it later. >> aliens could take over the world. >> well that night a police officer stopped by, and she said they were getting inundated with calls left and right about this ufo. >> two months later, on halloween night, tinley park residents are once again looking up. >> the three lights were back again. and that's when i hightailed it home, grabbed the video recorder and started shooting again. okay, the ufos are back. i'm out of breath.
4:48 pm
here they're coming again. there's airplanes in the air. >> are those ufos? >> they're back again. i can't explain how weird it was again to see them. it was kind of neat to see them again. >> tonight it's clear, this is no aircraft. at least not a manmade one. >> that's the one night when you have the plane cutting across the bottom -- the middle light and the bottom light. there's airplanes along with them. look at that. look at that. there's airplanes with them. yeah. but the size of it compared to the commercial airliner that was cutting through, it's huge. it's big. it's big. >> we're talking something, you know, just shy of a mile. so something very, very large moving about with impunity and making no sound whatsoever.
4:49 pm
>> i see. i got one minute left on the tape. >> many have tried to explain the tinley park lights, but years later the mystery remains. >> what happens if it's something bad? >> the weathermen's favorite one is it's the aurora borealis. the aurora borealis is, of course, an array of fast-moving brilliant colored illuminations throughout the sky. not lights that stay in the atmosphere. there are chinese lanterns. you would see it flickering or just moving with the wind. this didn't move with the wind. >> it's not a plane, it's not a helicopter. flares, no, because we would have seen smoke. that's what makes me think it's -- oh it's a ufo, unidentified. >> any way you look at it, it's unusual, a genuine phenomenon. >> from time to time, t.j. still scrolls through his footage looking per answers. >> figure out why tinley park, i have no idea. >> it wasn't until nine years later that t.j. says he stumbled across something he hadn't noticed before.
4:50 pm
>> t.j. was going through it frame by frame, and he zoomed in. and he got to this one frame, and you could see -- if you look really close, you can see a picture of what looks like an alien face. >> a trick of the mind's eye or company? oh, no. no, no, no, no. don't go out on me now. no, battery. coming up -- >> oh, my gosh. you guys should see this. this is crazy [ bleep ]. >> what lies beneath the surface? >> i've seen every creature in the water, and i don't know what that was. come here. quick. get your camera. >> when "caught on camera: eerie and alien returns. n" they claim. "how can my car depreciate before it's first oil change?" you ask.

these things are not known. >> the legend -- >> there's been in excess of 200 sightings. >> the mystery -- >> never have i ever seen anything like this. those things are big! >> what's lurking in the murky waters of cadboro bay? >> there he goes under the water. >> i know there's something in that lake. >> come here quick with your camera. >> i got it. >> history is full of sea monster folklore. >> sea serpents have been in the consciousness of people from time and memorial because whenever there's been a ship of any kind on any body of water in this world, they've encountered animals that they don't know about. >> nessie, cressey, champ, mokele mbembe, ogopogo. many bodies of water play host to a mythical creature. some image of these critics are proven hoaxes, and others are simply unexplained.
4:55 pm
>> it's imperative that we get physical evidence. until you do that, they still float around in the clouds and mists of myth. >> but in 2009, this video surfaces. the species caught on camera remains unidentified. but for believers, there is only one answer -- this is caddy. >> oh, my gosh. you guys should see this, dude. this is crazy [ bleep ]. >> cadborosaurus, or caddy for short, is said to be a creature that inhabit the cadboro bay in california. >> the story's very old. the first nations people here in british columbia, have representations of it. >> the natives, a lot of them won't go on the lake. >> some 200-plus caddy sightings have been documented, but it wasn't until the serpent-like arkansas us was found in the stomach of a sperm whale in 1937 that there was any physical evidence that an unidentified species might exist. 72 years later came this
4:56 pm
sighting. >> holy [ bleep ]. >> nushagak buy, alaska. it's a calm day at sea, and kyle is fishing with his father jason and brother kelly. >> there was hardly a breath of wind. >> while the air remained still, the water suddenly starts to move. >> what is that? go get my binocs, quick. >> my dad was saying, hey, what are those things right there? i was like, i don't know, they look like waves. he's like, those aren't waves. [ bleep ] >> yeah, looks like a gigantic eel. >> goes, you better get your cameras because this is something that we need to crash on film. >> come here quick with your camera. >> kyle and jason both grab cameras and start recording. >> look how fast they're going. >> look how big they are. >> couldn't tell if it was sea snakes or something that -- might have been seals. >> see it?
4:57 pm
a sea snake. >> holy [ bleep ]. >> then we realized that they were some sort of creature that we hadn't seen before. >> this [ bleep ] is huge. look how fast they can go. look at the wake it's making. >> this one's almost 40, 50-feet long. >> it quickly becomes clear, they're not filming one animal but several. >> more than one of them. >> it looked like there was two in the front and then maybe some smaller ones following the bigger ones. they were dark gray in color. they were -- kind of had like a snake or serpent looking head to them. and they were poking their head out of the water. >> it looked like they had gills and the water was blowing behind the head. >> i have been fishing for about 15 years and never have i ever seen anything like this. >> hoping to get a clearer image, they try to get closer. >> and whether we did that, they kind of went underneath the
4:58 pm
water, went down deep. after that, we went back to our net. and that was it. >> kelly nash shows his footage to crypto zoologists who investigate distinct and undiscovered species. >> everybody we showed the video to was very intrigued by the film. they all agreed that it was something that they've never seen in alaska before. >> when i saw this, i was absolutely flabbergasted. i thought he had come up with one of the greatest finds of the 20th century. >> investigator john kirk is certain kelly nash has caught cad oh camera. >> i said, mate, you've got one of the best pieces of footage of this. >> the craziest footage is the one that kelly nash taped. i've seen ever creature in the water, and i don't know what that was.
4:59 pm
that's what got us to want to go up and try to find it and figure this out. >> jonathan hillstrand, king crab captain and star of discovery channel's "deadliest catch," believes caddy is a giant sturgeon. he set sail in 2011 hoping to prove his theory. >> the "anchorage daily news," whatever, actually put a $100,000 reward on this thing. so i was thinking about that, too, going wouldn't that be nice if i could bring this baby in. >> but despite an exhaustive search, he returns empty-handed. >> i really had high hopes about finding this thing. i'd love to go back up there, and when i get a little older, a little more time on my hands, i will go up there, and i'll disprove or prove this thing. >> until then, the myth of caddy lives on. after all, perhaps the mystery is what we love most of all.
5:00 pm
> whoa! >> shocked -- >> see him? >> snagged -- >> get on the ground! >> and stunned. >> he just pulls a gun out and says, "you need to give me all your f'ing money." >> undercover cops ambushed. >> sheriff's office, stop! >> shoppers with sticky fingers busted. >> you! >> an armed bus rider tackled. >> drop the gun! >> you are busted, buddy. >> and a video vigilante cracks down on crime. >> how about you not be having sex with hookers back here, buddy? >> caught by surprise -- >> she just punched me like a dude in the face.
