'I was intimidated, I had surveillance, I had threats': U.S. Marine who saw craft

On "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with former U.S. Marine Michael Herrera. In 2009, Herrera was deployed on a relief operation in Sumatra, Indonesia. During the operation, Herrera says he saw a 300-foot craft, but upon sighting his unit, he was detained by mysterious "men in black." Together, they discuss Herrera's story in depth, the private companies engineering mysterious crafts and Herrera's dealings with the Senate Intelligence Committee and All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
