Vietnam’s Secret Glasses: Revealing Unseen Creatures and Dimensions

During the Vietnam War, U.S. helicopter gunners were given experimental Dicyanin glasses, an early form of night vision with a terrifying side effect—it didn’t just enhance sight in the dark; it revealed an unseen dimension. Soldiers reported seeing monstrous entities lurking alongside them, creatures invisible to the naked eye. The horrifying visions were so intense that some gunners fired wildly at the unseen threats, convinced they were under attack.

This isn’t the only case of strange optics revealing hidden realities. In Russia, a mysterious piece of UFO glass reportedly allowed people to see a craft that was otherwise invisible. And then there’s John Carpenter’s They Live, where special glasses expose a hidden alien presence controlling humanity—fiction or a veiled truth?

Filmed on location in Hanoi, Vietnam, this deep dive into anomalous technology explores whether these glasses were just an experimental failure—or a glimpse into something we were never meant to see.
