For centuries mankind believed that life only
existed here on Earth, but today many scientists agree that we
are not alone.
Practically every human civilization that
has ever existed tells us we are not alone in the cosmos.
A long, long time ago, extraterrestrials
came here, and through a targeted mutation of our genes,
we became human.
We have, in theory, a worldwide civilization
that has extraterrestrials interacting with it, and human
beings, as we are today, who are possibly the genetic breeding of
these aliens.
If we're being visited, they've probably always been here.
Millions of people around the world believe we have
been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.
But what if it were true?
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?
And if so, why did they come here?
And just what was their mission?

On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission reached its destination,
and two men-- Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin-- actually walked on
the moon.
They've got the flag up now, and you can see the Stars and
Stripes on the lunar surface.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
It was the first time in history that beings left
their home and traveled through space to an alien planet.
Or was it?
Were we really the first creatures in the universe
capable of traveling to another world?
Given the vastness of the universe and the billions of
years that it took to create our galaxy, is it so hard to imagine
that such a thing might have happened before, perhaps
thousands of times and over the course of millions of years?
The ancient alien astronaut theory presupposes that thousands and
thousands of years ago-- even before recorded history-- Earth
was visited by astronauts from another world.
But if alien beings did, in fact, travel to Earth, why?
Did they come to explore, to plunder, to study, to hunt, or to breed?
When Armstrong and Aldrin explored their incredible
surroundings, they found the moon a barren landscape.
It seemed to offer little more than a lifeless oasis of rocks
and dust.
But in 1986, further testing determined that the lunar
landscape actually contains a high amount of helium-3, an
extremely powerful nonpolluting, nonradioactive fuel source.
Experts estimate that a single space shuttle filled with this
material could satisfy all the energy needs in the United
States for an entire year.
Think of it.
Armadas of spaceships mining the moon and other planets for
natural resources.
Could this help explain why Earth might have served as a
destination for travelers from other worlds?
We'd go out there with robot mining crews and
eventually human mining crews, mine those planets, extract the ore.
Ships would come; they'd take the ore and bring them back.
Well, if we would do it, why wouldn't extraterrestrials?
But if alien excavators did come to Earth--
perhaps thousands of years ago-- wouldn't there be evidence?
Here, in what is now known as Iraq, lies what is commonly
regarded by historians and archaeologists as the "cradle of
civilization."
Between 3500 and 1900 BC, the fertile area between the Tigris
and Euphrates Rivers was the home of the Sumerian people.
The Sumeriyns were one of the first cultures that
built actual cities with streets and a street grid, almost like
New York City, where you have, you know, a square street grid.
They invented cobblestones.
They had a sewage system.
They were taught in agriculture.
The Sumerians also invented the first known writing
system by using cuneiform script on clay tablets.
In the 19th century, archaeologists exploring the
ancient ruins of Nineveh discovered 22,000 of these clay tablets.
When they were later translated, the texts described many stories
similar to those found in the Judeo-Christian Bible.
Virtually every story that's in Genesis--
the flood story, the Adam and Eve story-- they all have
precedence with the ancient Sumerians.
In 1976 author Zecharia Sitchin published his
own translations of the Sumerian texts in a series of books
called The Earth Chronicles.
According to Sitchin, the clay
tablets describe an alien race
known as the Anunnaki who came
to Earth to mine gold.
Zecharia Sitchin
has essentially suggested that
the reason why we were visited
in the remote past is because
the ancient astronauts' home
planet needed gold for their
atmosphere and that their gold
content in the atmosphere was
depleting, so they came to Earth
in order to mine gold and bring
it back to their home planet.
But why gold?
What are the unique properties
of this precious metal that
might make it important and
worth traveling through the
galaxy for?
I think, for
extraterrestrials, gold would
be an important resource just
like it is for us.
If it's at all like our society,
one of the major things it's
going to be built on is
electricity, and gold really is
one of the top conductors, and
its malleability and its ability
to make it into wires, use it in
really small forms as
nanoparticles is going to make
it an incredible technological
resource for any sort of life-
forms that reach that level of
dealing with electricity and
technology as we do.
One of the exciting directions
is possibly as an energy source
through properties called
thermoelectric effects, where it
can take heat and turn it
directly into electricity.
This would be obviously a very
nice clean energy source.
With its capacity
to create energy and conduct
heat, some scientists believe
gold may also be an invaluable
asset in the construction of
spaceships.
Gold actually
reflects infrared light.
Infrared is basically light
that's not quite red, and so you
don't see it, but we interact
with it as heat.
The radiation will interact with
your molecules and make them
vibrate faster and you'll feel
that as heat, so it makes a
great heat shield, partly
because it's so malleable.
You can make it very thin; it's
easy to work with; and it has
great properties for reflecting
and heat protection.
The only metal
that really lasts is gold.
Gold is indestructible.
All gold from ancient times
still exists today.
If you look at
Zecharia Sitchin's theories--
that E.T.s came down from
another planet in our solar
system, which is on a 3,600-year
elliptical orbit, that they were
running out of minerals, and
gold specifically, that they
somehow needed to line their
atmosphere with.
These
extraterrestrials-- they just
first measure our planet.
And they have the instrument to
find out: where on this planet
do we find raw material?
Through their
incredible equipment, they find
a planet that has this.
It's got gold.
So they decide "We're going to
go there and we're going to
mine."
So they send some expeditions to
planet Earth.
All of a sudden they get here
and the factions begin to say,
"Well, there's a lot of gold
here, but we're not digging it
out.
What are we going to do?
We need workers."
The story that came
down to the Sumerians is that
the Anunnaki were mining gold
on the earth, and the run-of-
the-mill workers complained,
said, "This is really hard work
and we're tired.
We don't want to do this
anymore."
And so they had a big council
and they decided to create a
primitive worker called an
Adamu.
So they look at what
is on this planet, and that is
Homo erectus, and they say,
"Well, they're not very
intelligent and they're not
going to listen to us, so we're
going to genetically alter
them."
The Anunnaki created
humans as a slave species.
According to
Zecharia Sitchin, the Adamu
were the first modern humans.
They were created by the
Anunnaki 450,000 years ago when
they genetically mixed their DNA
with that of prehistoric man.
They took one
cell of one of these ancestors
of us.
They changed the cell by an
artificial mutation.
They changed the DNA code, what
our genetics are doing every day.
It's carved in their stone.
This is not something made up.
This is part of the Sumerian history.
They believed that the
gods came down and created them,
and they were their slave species.
They knew that, and they didn't
have any philosophical beliefs
about the purpose of man or
anything.
If you believe
Sitchin's theory that mankind
was created by E.T.s for slave
labor, all of a sudden it makes sense.
And then when you look at the
biblical terms of what may have
happened-- Adam and Eve?
Sure, they may have been two
individuals back a long time
ago, the beginning of time.
But perhaps Adam and Eve were
the first of the genetically
created human beings.
Closer comparisons
between the Hebrew Bible and
the Sumerian texts reveal many
similarities, not only in their
stories, but also in their
language.
"Adam" is Hebrew for "man."
"Adamu" is what the Sumerians
refer to as "first man," the
Anunnaki slaves.
But do the Sumerian tablets
actually describe an alien race,
a race that conducted mining
operations on a global scale?

Thousands of miles away, on
the African continent, ruins of
ancient gold mines have recently
been discovered.
The largest concentration can
be found in South Africa, where
some excavations, according to
scientists, date back some
150,000 years.
They're in areas that
have an abundance of gold right
now, so it's very possible that
they could have mined it.
Now, the big question is, how
do we know they weren't human
beings that simply did that?
Why the E.T. theory?
In many languages
in Africa, the native word for
"star" means "bringer of
knowledge or enlightenment."
Some African cultures believe
that extraterrestrial beings
have been visiting the Earth
for tens of thousands of years.
Zulu legends speak of a time
when "visitors from the stars"
came to excavate gold and other
natural resources.
These mines were worked by
"artificially produced flesh-
and-blood slaves created by the
First People."
Some ancient mines
in Southern Africa are thought
to be a hundred thousand years
old or older.
If humans weren't doing that
mining a hundred thousand years
ago, and making metals, then we
would have to assume it would
be extraterrestrials doing it.
Alien slave mines?
Genetically engineered humans?
To believers of ancient
astronaut theory, these notions
are not far-fetched fantasies
or fairy tales, but facts, and
they point to additional
evidence of alien mining a
half world away...
on the American continent.
Peru has long been known as "the land of gold."
In ancient times, Incan rulers adorned themselves with it.
And when the Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century,
they sent shiploads of their plunder back home to Spain.
Gold was largely a valuable commodity because of
being rare and easy to make jewelry, coinage.
And if you're looking at, like, the ancient Incas, those people
are using gold as a status symbol.
Many cultures thought it came directly from the gods.
People thought gold was so pure, so wonderful, it must heal, and
they would actually occasionally ingest pure gold.
Certainly, we're discovering more and more, as we get better
at archeology and as we can look into these things,
applications that people have used.
For instance, there is some evidence that ancient people
had very primitive batteries, and this would be a place in
which gold would be very useful because of its electrical
properties and its conductivity.
It should not be surprising, then, to find
archaeological evidence of ancient gold mines.
But some sites have recently been discovered that date back
some 50,000 years.
All throughout areas in Peru, you see remnants of
what could have been ancient mining operations.
It's there.
They go down, some cases, thousands of feet deep.
Gold turns out to be surprisingly easy to mine for,
even though it's relatively rare.
There's a lot of common techniques ancient people used,
and some of them were used, you know, well into recent times.
A lot of it, you know, involves using water, often, to change
the properties of the rock around it.
A lot of heating and freezing, and the gold will come loose.
In addition to gold, other ancient sites in
Peru provide evidence that they were once mined for quartz...
hematite... and red ochre.
They're used for different things.
Quartz is incredibly common.
It's basically silicone dioxide.
It's kind of like glass.
It's a great mineral; it's hard;
but it can be formed into pretty sculptures; you could make
quartz statues; you could probably even use it for money
before you discovered minerals and gold.
Hematite and ochre are much more valuable because of their
iron oxide.
And particularly ochre is important as a pigment, so as
soon as you're gonna start having painting, cave drawings
even, or any sort of art work, you need to make colors.
And making color can be a challenge, and ochre is a great
source of that.
Also located in Peru are the world-famous Nazca lines.
While the origins of these ancient geoglyphs remain a
mystery, the area in which the lines are located suggests that
a major excavation took place there, perhaps hundreds of
centuries ago.
At Nazca, entire mountaintops have been removed.
I mean, this all requires machining.
And I'm not talking, you know, a little wheelbarrow and-and a pick.
I'm talking sophisticated machinery, because we today
would also need sophisticated machinery in order to achieve
such feats.
Could the vast flat plain located in the Nazca
Desert be evidence of a gigantic mining operation, one
that took place hundreds of thousands of years ago?
Whoever comes here in a spaceship, Nazca would be
like a beacon, as in: "Come here."
Because the moment you come to Nazca, you're sort of confronted
with a Cliff Notes to planet Earth, where you have all sorts
of raw materials that exist in that one particular spot in
very, very abundant quantities.
I think the Nazca Lines aren't evidence of search
for gold, but they're evidence of some communication
with possibly E.T. s, or gods, from above.
But despite the controversy, one thing is the plain, and the
lines that scar the surrounding countryside, are not natural
formations.
But while scientists and ancient astronaut theorists
remain divided about who, or what, created the Nazca lines,
they are in agreement about one the so-called Band of
Holes, located in the Pisco Valley, Peru, is a complete mystery.
In the mountains of Peru, we have what's commonly
referred to as the Band of Holes, and it is this Band of
Holes that were carved or dug into the mountainside.
It's a bunch of little, shallow holes, dug
into the ground, and it's had all kinds of explanations.
Some people say it was just pot hunters, you know, looting,
looking for burials.
Some people think it looks like some kind of machine was running
over the territory.
Some people think it was some kind of systematic mining operation.
They need raw material, be it gold, be it
silver, be it uranium, whatever;
they need something.
And they send something down like a shuttle.
It can be a robot.
No extraterrestrial is on board.
And this robot just caresses over the surfaces and collects
and measures raw material, and disappears again.
The holes run about three feet apart and measure
six to seven feet in depth, and number in the thousands.
Often we see regular structures like that and we
assume either a person or an intelligent life had to make it,
but there's lots of examples in nature where the natural
processes lead to large-scale what we call "pattern formation."
You see it on a small scale in animals.
You look at leopards and zebras-- leopards have spots;
zebras have stripes.
Surprisingly, on geological scales, some of the same
processes that give you spots on a leopard could give you
indentations in the ground and raised areas that would look
like holes.
It would take a long time over geological scales, but we've had
a long time, and that might be what they're left over from.
Mainstream archaeologists suggest the holes
were used to store grain, but ancient astronaut theorists
reject that notion.
It's a mystery because who in their right mind
would go ahead and dig all these holes?
For what?
The other intriguing aspect about the Band of Holes is that
you can only see it from the air.
When you stand down there, all you see is a couple of holes dug
into the ground, and it doesn't really mean much.
But if you're up in the air, there is this long band with
these individual holes that you can see, and you can conceivably
create some type of message that can only be seen from the air.
But if ancient aliens came to Earth searching
for gold, why did they leave?
More gold still exists here, as do many other valuable minerals.
Could it be that ancient mining operations were just the means
to another possibly greater end?
Or perhaps the real alien mission on Earth was to hunt
the greatest prey in the
Man.
Alamosa, Colorado.
September 7, 1967.
When a three-year-old horse named Snippy went missing, her
owners grew concerned and went out looking for her.
Their search yielded a gruesome and mysterious discovery.
Snippy's body had been mutilated...
...almost surgically.
An examination of the carcass showed that her skin and flesh
had been neatly cut; her heart and brain had been removed, and
a formaldehyde-like odor emitted from the remains.
An autopsy also revealed that her spinal fluid had been removed.
The events of Snippy's death stunned the community and remain
shrouded in mystery, even to this day.
Since the mutilation, an estimated 50,000 similar events
have been reported around the world, most of them involving cattle.
But it was not until about the middle of the 1970s
that cattle mutilations really entered into Ufology.
Farmers would come out and find some prize livestock that was
alive and healthy the day before and then it was just suddenly dead.
And it looked like it had been cut up in a rather odd way.
That certain parts of the body looked like they were cut out in
ways that seemed to be almost surgical.
Television producer and UFO investigator Linda Howe
has been tracking the mystery of animal mutilation for over 30 years.
I began trying to get to the bottom of what was
happening to all of these animals.
There were horses, cows, other domestic animals found with the
same pattern of bloodless excisions.
The law enforcement called them animal mutilations.
266-some Polaroids, from so many cases, and the first thing
I felt was anger.
And then I felt nervous, and then I felt afraid.
I sat across from sheriffs who told me, "Linda, we're not
dealing with predators, disease, and satanic cults.
We're dealing with creatures from outer space."
There are several explanations for why aliens
would want to experiment on cows.
One is that they're just looking for food.
One that they're looking for some kind of information about
vertebrate organisms.
Another one is that they're looking for some kind of genetic
material for some reason.
The closest answer I've ever gotten was from a man who
had had very upfront, and close and personal observations of
nonhumans in his work for the government.
He told me-- he said, "The best answer I can give you, Linda,
It's a genetic harvest."
But once you have said, "a genetic harvest from Earth,"
there's even a bigger question.
Why a genetic harvest from Earth?
What is being made with this genetic harvest?
To what end?
The answer to these questions might be found in our
ancient past, in the bizarre, almost Frankenstein-like
experiments that were practiced by early civilizations.
We have ancient descriptions from Egypt where it
says specifically that the gods created these chimeras--
mixed beings, or hybrids.
We find paintings where you have a human body with a cut-off head
and a red tube coming out of it, and next to it, you have just
the head of some animal.
And in the next picture-- 'cause they're like-- they look like
comic strips almost.
And in the next picture, you see the same human body with the
animal head attached to the human neck.
Incredibly, examples of strange human animal
hybrid beings date back to a time even older than ancient Egypt.
According to mainstream archeology, ancient
Sumeria is the earliest civilization of human kind.
And the interesting part is the fact that their earliest
writings are filled with references of these bizarre
beings that descended from the sky called the Anunnaki.
Anunnaki means "those who from the heavens came."
But is there any physical evidence of these human-animal hybrids?
If so, wouldn't we have found skeletal remains?
The answer may have been found in Saqqâra, Egypt, home to that
country's oldest pyramid.
In 1851, French scholar and Egyptologist Auguste Mariette
explored a deep tomb dedicated to the sacred Apis bull.
Inside were two sealed and intact sarcophagi.
But when Mariette opened them, what they contained was shocking.
They opened the sarcophagus and they didn't find a bull.
Instead, they found this black mass of what's called bitumen,
a type of asphalt.
And inside this stinking mass, they found the bone fragments of
seven different types of animals crushed up.
According to the accompanying texts, some type of monsters
existed during the time of the Egyptians.
And so who knows whether or not the priests instructed the
people to destroy these beings, to rip them apart, to crush
their bones, and put them inside this stinking mass,
and put them underneath a lid in the sarcophagus weighing 80 tons.
I mean, all... in all of Egypt we can find mummified remains of
every single animal, but we find these sarcophagi that
contain these crushed-up bones.
Doesn't that mean the ancient Egyptians did not want for those
creatures to ever return after their death?
Of course, mainstream scientists and
archaeologists believe ancient Greek and Egyptian stories of
animal and human hybrids are just fanciful products of the
imagination.
But are they?
There is this period in pre-dynastic Egypt,
where these demigods ruled.
We have not found human remains.
We do not know who they were.
But we do have scientific evidence that at least the
ancient Egyptians believed firmly that they ruled.
As to whether they are just human beings, like you or I; or
whether they come from somewhere else; or whether they are a
hybrid being, we have no idea.
What if ancient civilizations possessed the
advanced scientific knowledge of our own modern day scientists?
What if they, too, had unlocked the mysteries of DNA: cloning
and gene-splicing?
Why is this so fascinating?
Well, because if you look at this from a genetics aspect,
we're in the process right now today of being able to recreate
creatures like that.
I mean, this is Frankenstein.
This is science fiction stuff.
Yet, in ancient Egypt, we have the exact same descriptions, the
exact same depictions of some very bizarre, hybridization
program which took place thousands of years ago.
They are mixing alien, animal and human DNA, not
just for ten years or 20 years, but for thousands and thousands
of years.
And that's why there are so many alien abductions, and that's why
each generation is cyclically more advanced than the next,
until we get to the complete union of two cultures-- the
ultimate hybrid.
I think the answer clearly is, we're not alone in
this universe and we have nonhuman intelligences
interacting with this planet for reasons that are still unknown
to most of us.
It leaves you feeling a little nervous.
If alien beings came here, as some suggest, to
perform strange mutation experiments on animals, could
they have done the same on humans?
And if so... why?
Life on Earth comes in a tremendous diversity of shapes and sizes.
It can be found from the depths of the deepest oceans to the
peaks of the highest mountains.
But the vast array of life-forms we see today is only
a small portion of what has existed on this planet during
its millions of years of history.
In fact, scientists estimate that 97% of all the species
that have ever lived on Earth are now extinct.
Most scientists today will tell us that there have
been six major extinction events that have occurred during the
history of life on Earth.
The most recent of these extinction events was the one
that occurred 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.
Paleontologists attribute these mass extinctions
to natural causes such as meteor strikes...
floods and dropping sea levels.
But another theory suggests that these extinctions were not
caused by nature, but by alien beings.
In the ancient Sumerian texts, they can control weather,
they can cause droughts, and they did this to humans.
They are capable of producing their own disasters.
But were now-extinct life-forms actually
exterminated in order to make way for other, perhaps more
docile or desirable species?
Was the intent to clear the way for colonization?
Or invasion?
And if so, what sort of technology would be needed to
effect such a widespread change?
Some theories say that we have that technology
now, called scalar technology.
We heat up to high, electrical impulses, a certain spot on the
water, and that creates a hurricane.
And by making a path with that beam, you can track the hurricane.
Now if we can do that-- and this is hypothetical-- if we can do
that, why can't an alien culture say, "Let's create an ice age on
planet Earth?"
It will kill off the dinosaurs, but pave the way for aliens to
implant human beings on planet Earth.
Did alien beings come to Earth in order to stay?
Might they, as some believe, have seeded it with their own
genetic offspring?
If so, where is the proof?
Some ancient astronaut theorists point to myths that describe
gods coming down from the heavens in order to mate with humans.
Ancient texts talk about the fact that whoever
visited the earth in the remote past, these gods, thought that
Earth women were quite beautiful.
So, in many occasions, we find stories where those visitors
essentially mated with Earth women.
It was misinterpreted, misunderstood as something
divine that came here.
They were flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials.
Native American folklore refers to those beings
who came down from the heavens to breed with Earth women as
Star People.
The Star People are extraterrestrial people.
They are not from this... this earth.
They visit.
They are star ancestors.
There's a great deal of, uh, of interaction between them.
Like some of the American Indian star husband tales where some
woman sleeping outside at night looks up at a star and thinks
it's very beautiful and would like to go there, and winds up
finding herself in the morning being pulled up into heaven and
meeting with the supernatural being who was associated with
that star in becoming the bride of the star husband.
According to Native American mythology, the brides
of these alien beings would become pregnant and give birth
to star children.
They would be raised by the native mother until the age of
six, when they went to live with their star father.
Similar stories of intimate encounters between celestial
beings and humans can be found in ancient Hebrew and
Judeo-Christian testaments often referred to as The
Pseudepigraph, or what many refer to as the Apocrypha.
There are lots of instances in the Pseudepigraph-- these are the
books that didn't make it into the Bible-- where people are
visited by beings that aren't from this earth.
Before the Bible became the Bible of today, there
were many additional books that used to be a part of the Bible.
They were removed in what was called the Council of Nicaea
because those books contained too much information, dangerous
knowledge.
In Genesis 6, where it talks about these
watchers that are kind of angels that came down from heaven and
had sex with the women of the earth.
These strangers had sex with beautiful young girls on our planet.
How can angels have sex?
This is impossible.
In our point, in our view, angels were something spiritual,
not something who has a body, and has a feeling of sex.
But they had sex.
Our prehistoric ancestors could not understand, and they believe
that these extraterrestrials are some kind of gods.
The conception of the Christ.
An angel comes to the holy mother, to the Virgin Mary, and
tells her that she's going to be blessed by God with a child.
And then, essentially, she finds herself pregnant.
There is an angelic reality point in the New Testament.
And whether it be at the birth of Jesus, or his resurrection,
we've got the possibility of other powers from another world
being involved from the beginning to the end.
The more literal version is the idea that Jesus
is strictly alien, which, of course, in a sense, he is as, uh...
You know, even if you take him as the son of God, then
obviously, he is not of this earth.
I tend to believe that Jesus was a very spiritual human
being who understood a lot of things that we're beginning to
learn today.
But it's also very possible that he might have been an
extraterrestrial who came down to teach us things.
That divine intelligence is very real in some form or fashion.
Tales of gods mating with humans are prevalent
in everything from Greek and Roman mythology to Native
American legends.
In China, at the end of the fifth century BC, the country
was divided into seven states, each ruled by powerful warlords
who battled for territory and power.
It was during this turbulent era when the legendary story of
Huangdi first appeared.
A great god took the form of a dragon, came down to a
hilltop where a young maiden was out gathering fruit.
And as this great dragon came near, the sky darkened.
It was like a storm.
She was terrified, and she passed out.
When she came awake again, uh, the sun had come out again, and
the dragon was gone, and she was pregnant.
Much like the story of the Virgin Mary and Jesus,
the story of Huangdi told of an earthling woman who would give
birth to him-- the legendary first emperor of China who
ushered in a time of great change.
Gods deliberately bred with humans so that they could
produce, they could get a race that they could trust and
control a little bit better.
In my mind, legends and-and myths are based on something real--
while they have been mythified and distorted and exaggerated,
in many cases-- but there is, in my mind, some core of truth here.
Another prevalent theme in ancient texts, myths,
and religions is that of a cataclysm of some kind.
Usually, these come in the form of an intense flood, fire, or
other devastating catastrophe.
In the Hebrew Bible, for example, God punishes mankind
for their decadence and sinful ways.
He sends punishment in the form of a great flood...
which destroys nearly all living things on the planet, except for
Noah, his family, and the animals rescued aboard his ark.
Similar stories can be found in numerous ancient texts.
Many of the mythical tales of most civilizations
include some kind of idea that there are gods that came to
Earth at some point.
One interpretation has been that these are literal descriptions
of visitors from space.
Not gods, but some creatures of... with advanced technology
that came to Earth in times past, and either created
mankind, brought culture to the Earth, brought civilization, and
then, for some reason, departed, usually under some kind of
breach between mankind and the gods.
Take the case of the once-thriving Mesoamerican
cultures of the Aztecs and the Mayans.
By the year 1500 AD, they had all but vanished.
But why?
Was there a natural disaster of some kind?
Or is there another, more otherworldly explanation?
At some point, it all crashed in a cataclysmic disaster.
And the world, as they knew it, came to an end.
And tidal waves washed across continents.
Areas of the planet went under water.
And the megalithic building that was going on then, too, also
completely stopped.
And it's what we see at certain areas.
Like in Peru, where giant blocks of granite have been quarried
and partially moved to where they were going.
But then it all came to a sudden, complete halt.
For nearly 3,000 years, the Mayan civilization
thrived in Central America.
Among their many accomplishments, the ancient
Maya invented a remarkably complex and accurate calendar.
According to scholars, the calendar started on August 11, 3114 BC.
The first calendar cycle ends about 5,000 years later
on December 21, 2012.
But why?
Did the Mayans know something about mankind's future--
something we have forgotten or chosen to ignore?
There's a lot of excitement being generated now
about the Mayan calendar ending in year 2012, and if
there is such a cataclysm or some massive Earth change that's
suddenly going to occur.
And so the idea that ancient people, like the Mayans say,
were somehow totally in tune with this and had knowledge
of these kind of vast cosmic cycles, which apparently led
to cataclysmic changes on the Earth, that's the kind
of advanced knowledge that we wouldn't expect them to have.
And where would they get that kind of knowledge?
You would think that would have to come from extraterrestrials.
If we accept the notion that alien beings
left behind the Mayan calendar as some type of ancient advanced
warning device, might they have left other astronomical
instruments here on Earth?
And if so, why was it so important for ancient
civilizations to track the stars?
The stars.
Since the beginning of time, man has gazed in wonder at the night
sky.
Stars became the stuff of legends, home of the gods and
sometimes, man's final resting place.
It is no surprise then that ancient man built monuments
dedicated to these celestial wonders.
When we look at ancient monuments around the
world-- these Mesolithic structures-- we find that many
of them are aligned astronomically to the sun,
to planets, to stars... Numerous examples can be listed.
Stonehenge is essentially an ancient astronomical observatory.
Guess it may have been used for ritualistic purposes.
It may have been used for religious purposes.
But it's very clear that it was also used for astronomical
purposes, for observations.
We're not surprised whether it's Stonehenge,
pyramids, or perhaps the Nazca Lines that ancient people
understood events that were going to happen in the sky, and
when they would repeat.
But why was ancient man so fixated on the sky?
And why did they construct elaborate stone monuments and
temples in order to track the movements of the stars?
Was it simply to help farmers know when to plant their crops?
Or might there have been another, perhaps more profound purpose?
Could they, as some believe, have been constructed as a type
of extraterrestrial GPS system?
Nabta Playa, Egypt.
500 miles south of Cairo in Egypt's Nubian Desert sits
one of the oldest astronomical sites ever discovered.
In 1974, archaeologist Fred Wendorf almost passed it by
before noticing its small stone artifacts and toppled rocks.
It's a very strange site.
It's just strange stone formations, circles, uh, stone alignments.
Bizarre trigger lines with strange rocks and others.
Later excavations put the date of the astronomical
device at approximately 5000 BC, making it close to 1,000 years
older than the remarkably similar formation at Stonehenge.
When they brought an astronomer there, they realized
that it was a ceremonial site, very intensely astronomical.
The intriguing thing about this site is that it shows that they
were tracking stars over thousands of years.
And to track stars over that period, they must have have been
aware of what we call "precession," which means they
weren't simply astronomers, or ancient astronomers.
They were very sophisticated astronomers.
Could the people who built Nabta Playa 7,000
years ago have possessed an advanced understanding
of physics and astronomy?
One that rivals or, perhaps, surpasses our own?
And why were they tracking Orion and Sirius?
In 1994, the mystery of Nabta Playa took on even greater
significance when Robert Bauval announced a surprising
discovery along Egypt's Giza Plateau.
The Great Pyramid contained four long interior shafts.
Bauval determined that they were each precisely aligned
with specific stars in the sky.
The southerones aligned to the belt of Orion and to Sirius,
and the northern ones aligned to the second pole stars.
Again, this is very intriguing.
In terms of construction engineering, that's, that's bull's-eye.
As an engineer, I know that it's one thing building a pyramid.
But it's another thing building a pyramid with that kind
of precision.
Bauval also proved that the three pyramids of Giza
were laid out in the precise order and position of the three
stars of the Orion's Belt constellation.
But what exactly is the significance of the shaft
alignment and the layout of the pyramids themselves?
I mean, we're deciphering a message.
The question is whether it is religious or whether it is
a stellar message.
The fact is that what we have on the ground is an image of a
constellation that we know now is the birthplace of stars.
Literally, stars are being born there.
And the Egyptians themselves believed that their gods had
descended from the stars.
That could be either a knowledge of ancient
astronomy, or it could also be a road map to where these E.T.s
may have come from.
But why were the ancients so fixated on the
Orion and Sirius constellations?
Some believe the answer can be found on the other side
of the world in North America.
Cholula, Mexico is home to the largest pyramid in the world.
More than 3,000 years old, it is estimated that it took
approximately 1,400 years to complete.
Even though the Cholula Pyramid doesn't look
like much because of the overgrown jungle, it is in fact
the world's largest monument ever constructed by human hands.
In fact, the volume of the Cholula pyramid-- the whole
pyramid complex-- is 4. 45 million cubic meters.
The great pyramid in Egypt only has 2.5 million cubic meters
in volume.
So, the great pyramid at Giza is way taller than the Cholula
Pyramid, but volume-wise, the Cholula Pyramid is, by far,
the largest man-made structure ever created on planet Earth.
Originally built by the Olmecs in the third century
BC, it was later added on to and used by the Toltecs and the
Aztecs as a place of religious ritual and human sacrifice.
But along with its history of bloodshed, an examination of the
pyramid reveals that the ancient cultures of the region had
a remarkable understanding of astronomy.
It's interesting to consider what the Aztec
people thought about its origins.
They did not think it was built by humans, like us, which is
our theory today.
According to the ancient Aztec tradition, the Cholula Pyramid
was built by a being they called a "giant."
If you look at the Aztec cosmology, you'll see that
these giant beings were identified with different celestial objects.
The one in particular that is said to have built the Cholula
Pyramid is identified with the planet Venus.
Both the Aztecs and the ancient Egyptians charted
most of the planets in the solar system thousands of years
before European astronomers.
But why?
And even more compelling is the fact that the two cultures were
thousands of miles and half a world apart.
Mainstream archaeologists are telling us
that all these civilizations around the world-- in the
Americas, on remote Pacific islands, in Asia and Africa and
Europe-- that they're all disconnected with each other,
and that there wasn't some contact with South America, and
Egypt, or any of these ancient civilizations.
But really, it has to be the other way around.
All of these ancient civilizations were connected in some way.
But were these holy sites, as ancient astronaut
proponents suggest, really connected to each other?
And if so, why?
Are they evidence of aliens coming to earth?
Whoa, I'm getting a series of lights right there.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
These reports that we continue to get from people of
E.T. visitations and craft, clearly points out to me that
we're being visited.
And we have been visited.
Oh, there it is-- over to the left.
They may have physically left the planet, in terms of a civilization.
But they-- they're continuing to come back and monitor us for
some reason.
Dude... Wow.
...they're back.
More appeared, bro.
If aliens are watching us today, what are they waiting for?
Or, as some claim, have they already left messages for us in
plain view?
90 miles west of London, in the county of Wiltshire, the English
countryside remains pretty much as it has for thousands of years.
Small farms, stone walls, , and rolling green hills provide
inhabitants with an environment of peace and stability.
This historic region is also home to a large number of
ancient sacred sites, many built thousands of years ago.
It's an ancient, sacred landscape where most of them occur.
There are monuments that you know about: Stonehenge,
Avebury, Silbury Hill.
This is one small area that seems to be a manipulated
landscape that was done thousands of years ago where
sacred rituals have taken place.
But in 1978, Wiltshire's tranquil landscape
became the focus of a controversy that persists to this day.
Today alongside the tracks of farm machinery, a new set of
circles were found.
No human tracks lead to the markings.
There, carved in fields of wheat, barley, and rye
were elaborate geometric patterns.
Even more curious was the fact that much like the famed Nazca
Lines of Peru, the designs were only visible from the air.
When you see it for the first time, you go, "What in
the world is that doing there?"
I mean, it's obviously not natural.
There have been cases that have been traced back
for hundreds of years-- so-called mowing devil, where
apparently some sort of a devil supposedly mowed a field in a
single night.
But they became recognized as a phenomenon only when these
circles started appearing in English wheat fields.
They were very simple things at first.
And, well-- but they kept occurring year after year, and
each year they seemed to get a little more elaborate.
One of the early theories was that there was some kind of
whirlwind that was making them.
But as they became more elaborate, they also became
associated with paranormal activity, particularly UFOs.
Some people said they saw a light in the field at night.
And some people that-- began to read that was a UFO presence.
This circle in a Wiltshire field is just one of
200 such markings to have been discovered in the last six weeks.
To farmers and scientists, how they're formed or by whom
remains a big mystery.
Not surprisingly, the region became the focus of
intense interest from UFO enthusiasts and skeptics,
each offering explanations as to who or what was responsible for
this strange phenomenon.
But if in fact, alien beings from another planet were
responsible for the crop circles, why were they making
them in England?
Were they trying to contact us or were there clues embedded in
the designs?
And was the proximity to Stonehenge and other ancient
sites of any particular significance?
So you have the idea of these earth energies,
and these ancient structures, and then the crop circles are
appearing around them.
And many of the crop circles appear to be some kind of
signals and ancient writing.
The crop circles are calling us back to a time before
science and spirit got separated, when we were whole;
we had a sense of wholeness.
And here, they're landing near sacred sites that are from an
ancient time when we did experience those things.
When I saw the first photographs, I was... haunted, actually.
Are these extraterrestrials doing this?
Are we dealing with somebody who knows how to bend space and time?
Our entire relationship with the universe and quantum physics--
in all of its complexities-- has been pushed hard by crop
formations alone.
Certainly it is one theory that extraterrestrials are trying to
communicate in a big way through popular media.
Crop circles do get in newspapers all over the world.
Perhaps that's what they want.
These are being carefully designed.
They're not accidental-- both, in terms of the shape, and where
they land.
These aren't accidents.
There's a mind behind this that's making these decisions.
Where is that mind?
What kind of body is it in?
Scientists struggled to find an explanation
for the phenomenon, until in 1991, two self-proclaimed
British pranksters, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, came forward
and proclaimed that they were the ones responsible.
They showed how they could make crop circles in a
single night using some very simple tools.
And at the time, people said, "Well, that must be the
explanation for it."
Nevertheless, some researchers remain skeptical
that a single pair of elderly men could have created literally
hundreds of designs in the dead of night with little more than a
few boards and some rope.
You know, it was very effective.
You still will run into people-- "Crop circles-- oh, forget about
them.
Those two old guys made a... come on, don't be so naive!
They-they were done by those two old guys years ago.
What are you paying attention to them anymore?"
Very effective piece of disinformation.
During the years that followed Bower and
Chorley's confession, crop circles continued to appear in
the English countryside and at various locations around the world.
Some were inarguably the work of artists or jokesters.
But after studying soil samples and grain dispersion patterns
in the disturbed farmland, researchers concluded that it
would be impossible for all of these designs to be man-made.
Well, in what we would consider to be a
mysterious crop circle, where we can't identify it being made
by people-- the lay is absolutely beautiful.
The lay of the crop.
It's like a million carpet layers came down, and put these
stalks of grain down, right parallel to one another.
It's just a gorgeous thing to behold.
When the hoaxers make them, they tend to be sloppy and messy
because they're not... they haven't got that same force.
They're doing handmade manipulation, which doesn't lay
them down quite as beautifully.
In 1991, noted biophysicist Dr. William
Levengood put forth a startling new theory.
After spending ten years studying crop circle sites and
samples, he concluded that they were created by a complex energy
system, which he called a spinning plasma vortex that
comes down from somewhere high up in the atmosphere.
Biophysicist Levengood has now analyzed 350-some
samples from crop formations in his career.
Now, if Levengood were sitting here with me, he would say, "All
I can do is, I can take you from the ground-- I can take you from
the crops, up.
But I can't tell you what sets in motion that spinning plasma
vortex in the first place.
It's still a huge mystery."
The anomalous things that happen inside crop circles
are in fact one of the indications that you're in a
so-called genuine circle because indeed the weirdest things happen.
Batteries fail-- brand-new batteries.
People go in with cameras.
Cell phones don't work.
There have been people who have started reading
all kinds of messages into these crop circles.
Uh, that they have some kind of digital significance that-that
you can read.
There's a kind of numerology, and there'll be a kind of message.
People are really reading something into it.
In terms of who or what is delivering them-- we
have no way to know that.
We only have science fiction that tells us what's coming to visit us.
So, we have to just speculate about where this might be coming from.
We have to wait for whatever the source is to introduce itself to us.
Are we dealing with time travelers?
Are we dealing with spiritual forces from some dimension
we don't understand?
Are we dealing with advanced intelligences that are not even
in this galaxy, that are from someplace else?
And is this a form of communication?
The conversations keep getting more and more complicated.
Crop circles are contact.
We are being contacted.
Just because we don't have the bodies to shake hands with, we
have the evidence that the bodies have left us.
I'm absolutely convinced that crop circles are evidence of
intelligent life.
There is intelligence bombarding us, winking at us, waving.
Are these mysterious crop circles messages or warnings?
Or might they have another, perhaps more profound, purpose?
Could they be futuristic clues guiding us to our ultimate
destiny or ancient symbols paving the way for our ultimate
destruction?
Belize, Central America.
In 1924 British adventurer Frederick Mitchell-Hedges
traveled here with his daughter Anna to explore the ruins of the
ancient Mayan city of Lubaantun.
One afternoon Anna climbed to the top of a crumbling pyramid,
hoping to see the ocean.
It was high noon and she was at the top, and the
way the sun came in, the way the rocks had moved in that there
was just a small opening and the light from the sun went through
and it hit the top of the skull, and she ran down and she's all
excited.
She said "There's someone in there with a flashlight."
Anna's father and others in their party were too
large to fit inside the small opening of the pyramid, so they
tied a rope around Anna and lowered her into the hole.
When she came back up, Anna held the top of a strange crystal skull.
A second search uncovered a matching jaw.
The two-piece skull weighed 11 pounds, seven ounces and
appeared to be carved from a single piece of rock crystal.
It's the only crystal skull which is almost perfectly humanoid.
It's the only crystal skull which has a detachable jaw, and
when I say "almost perfectly humanoid," the one thing which
is missing is the sutures on the cranium.
It has a perfect cranium.
So it almost suggests that, even though it's a human crystal
skull, those who were carving it somehow felt that this creature
was not born.
It somehow came into this world perfectly.
The skull's appearance created an immediate
sensation among the local tribesmen.
When the natives saw it, it was like their god had returned.
They all started crying and kissing the earth and everything.
They were just so excited, and Mitchell-Hedges seeing this, he
presented it to the high priest and they put it in an altar, and
for 24 hours a day they burned flames around the, the crystal skull.
The Mayan elders believed that, in ancient times,
13 crystal skulls were buried in secret places around the world.
Currently it is claimed that seven have been found.
Four are in private collections and one each in the British
Museum, the Smithsonian, and the Quai Branly Museum in Paris.
All have been the focus of intense examination,
speculation, and even worship.
A lot of natives and a lot of people
working with crystal skulls say that the high quartz content
skulls and especially the quartz skulls themselves is the highest
frequency or energy or vibration possible on the physical plane,
and so a lot of native people kind of worshipped or took care
of these objects because they knew that they had or felt that
they had the highest energy possible on the earth plane.
But what are the exact origins of these mysterious crystal skulls?
Since their discovery, scientific tests have
determined that the two owned by the British Museum and the
Quai Branly were not authentic pre-Columbian artifacts.
Could it be that the Mitchell- Hedges skull was also a fake?
In the 1960s it underwent extensive testing by art curator
Frank Dorland and the Hewlett- Packard Company.
They used the most advanced stuff that they had.
They could not find any marks on it except for around the jaw
and, I think, a little bit around the eyes-- the only place
they saw tool marks using their techniques.
At the time, Hewlett-Packard found that the temperature
always stays about the same temperature, no matter if it's
in hot or cold.
It was carved against the lines of the crystal.
If anybody tried to do that, it would break into a thousand pieces.
It's made out of a high level of electronic crystal, and they're
not really sure exactly where it came from.
If you listen to the academics, crystal skulls are
all modern fabrications, meaning somebody has gone on there with
a wheel and has carved them as such, and this is where the big
divide is between established academics and alternative
researchers like myself, who feel that the academics are not
using all the available evidence to draw their conclusions, and,
in short, we believe that the academics are wrong in their
conclusions.
Are these skulls really ancient artifacts?
And if not, who or what carved them?
Crystal skulls, according to certain stories,
yes, they are alien artifacts.
Even some people think they're made on another planet.
I think there are links between crystal skulls and
extraterrestrials, not necessarily that they were
carved and created by extraterrestrials.
I've been told they were created by humans, but they were created
specifically to hold records from alien civilizations.
Could there actually be some type of coded
information stored inside these skulls?
And if there is, how could it be retrieved?
There is a legend that there were 13 skulls and
that when the 13 skulls come together, then something
significant will change in the world.
Legends suggest that there are 12 additional
worlds out there, planets which are inhabited by intelligent species.
Now, we belong to those worlds or to those planets, and our
planet Earth is called "planet of the children."
They also suggest that these 13 crystal skulls that allegedly
exist on planet Earth were each brought here from one of those
12 planets... and the 13th skull is the one that apparently
contains all of the information of all those 12 different worlds.
Within each crystal skull, information is
stored, and in fact IBM has shown that, too, that quartz
crystal can store millions of gigabytes of information, and,
in fact, any quartz crystal or a crystal skull could hold much
more information than any computer we have now.
So when these crystal skulls would be brought together, they
begin to interface with each other... and ultimately a
greater knowledge and information is condensed and
brought to us, and that's the legend of the crystal skulls.
But as ancient astronaut theorists maintain,
why would visiting aliens have given the crystal skull to the Maya?
To what purpose?
The skull is a very important motif for the Mayans.
When you look around the Mayan monuments, you see skulls carved
pretty much everywhere.
They use it for some of the notations for calendars.
And it is the Mayan calendar that many people refer
to when discussing the possibility of a new Armageddon.
Are the skulls somehow linked to this?
The current keeper of the Mitchell-Hedges skull believes they are.
We've got 2012 just a few years away.
All these different things are happening, the wars, et cetera,
and I think the skulls are coming forward to do what they
were... they were made to do.
But are these skulls the trigger that will
begin the dawn of a new era?
Or will they simply be used as a tool by some form of
extraterrestrial intelligence to guide mankind to its next stage
of evolution?
If so, is this intelligence waiting and watching for the
right moment?
And from where exactly could it be watching us?
If extraterrestrial beings do exist in the universe, where are they?
That was the question posed by Enrico Fermi, one of the leading
scientists of the 20th century.
Shortly after the Second World War, the famous
physicist Enrico Fermi, who was taking part in the Manhattan
Project to build the atomic bomb, was talking at Los Alamos
with some friends about the reports of flying saucers, and
Fermi suddenly said, in relation to extraterrestrial intelligent
beings, "Where are they?"
And he was simply making the point that if there was a
civilization somewhere in the galaxy that had arisen, say, 100
million years ago, then they had plenty of time to spread across
the galaxy.
Fermi said, "Gee, if there's all of these
civilizations out there and all of these planets out there,
where is everybody?"
The Fermi paradox, as it became known, was an
attempt to explain the lack of evidence of aliens despite the
mathematical probability of their existence.
Up unto this point, to modern time, no credible
scholar, no credible scientist looks at any of the evidence
that ancient alien enthusiasts put forth and say, "Yes, this is
evidence of ancient aliens."
No credible scholar does that.
Moreover, the whole SETI project-- the
Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence-- it's been going
on now for nearly 50 years.
The fact that we have found no radio telescope evidence of
extraterrestrials plays very much into the Fermi paradox in
that it further indicates: if they're out there, why aren't
we hearing from them?
And we don't seem to be hearing from them.
But in the 1960s, MIT astrophysicist John Ball
rebutted Fermi's hypothesis with
the zoo hypothesis.
The zoo hypothesis says that we are in a zoo, or a
wilderness area, that they have essentially left alone and are
going to leave alone to allow us to develop in our own way and at
our own rate.
Extraterrestrials have detected us on Earth, but have
chosen not to come here, not to invade, but rather to observe us
as we observe animals in the zoo.
They've thought, "We'll do a study of those earthlings and
see what sort of people they are."
Now, why would they do this?
Well, if on the one hand we have nothing they want, that's
surely true.
And on the other hand, we aren't able to interfere with
whatever they're doing.
That's also surely true.
They're out there doing their own thing, and they're not
paying any attention to us.
And we're not clever enough to eavesdrop on whatever they're doing.
That's the predicament we're in.
We have something that is looking down and monitoring us.
We are on the Petri dish and we can't get out far enough to
see what's behind those eyes behind that microscope.
If aliens are watching us right now, where are they?
Some believe they are sitting out in space in what are called
"Lagrange points named after mathematician and astronomer
Joseph Lagrange, who discovered them in 1772.
There are five of these points between the sun, the Earth and
our moon.
Lagrange points are points between two bodies
where the forces balance equally.
Think of, like, a seesaw when you have one really heavy person
and one really light person.
There's a kind of balance point in there, and that's what
a Lagrange point is.
Lagrange points is where we send some of our own satellites.
And that's a point in space where you can just sort of sit
there inert for millions of years if you had to without
having to worry about in course corrections.
If you go anywhere else in the solar system, uh, then in
order to keep pace with Earth as it orbits the sun, you've
got to continually change your position.
So people have talked about Lagrange points
as a place where a spacecraft might hide out because
you don't have to do a lot to stay in that spot.
It's sort of equally balanced and you just get carried along.
If an extraterrestrial race would have
ever visited our solar system, they would have placed a probe
in those specific points in order to observe us, to record
us, what have you.
So, I mean, this is not something that the ancient
astronaut theory has proposed.
This is, you know, university professors, astrophysicists who
have proposed this.
Some argue that another reason alien beings
have yet to reveal themselves is because they don't yet
consider us worthy.
This forms the basis of John Ball's jungle hypothesis.
The jungle hypothesis just means that if you have
animals, such as ants, that live in the jungle, no matter how
many of them you have, their chances of ever having seen
a human being are very slim.
Not because we're hiding or anything, but we just don't have
a reason to go into the jungle and step on anthills.
So, the idea is that we are probably related to advanced
extraterrestrial intelligence similar to an anthill might be
related to humans.
And the fact that we've never seen any extraterrestrial
intelligence is just we don't have anything they want.
We could actually shake hands with something that might
have been coming and going on this planet for literally
thousands, perhaps millions, of years, and has kept a distance
during the last age of man for reasons unknown, and maybe is
waiting for us all to finally grow up.
One thing that can be said with a great deal of
confidence is that, if the contact is initiated by them,
they are going to be not only superior to us, but greatly
superior to us.
They won't be just beginners like we are.
They will be far more advanced than we are.
Both the jungle and zoo hypotheses propose that
alien beings are watching us, but are, for the time being,
keeping their distance.
But what if they're not?
What if the alien mission was to integrate with our society
in a way that avoids detection?
If so, might they be walking among us right now?
According to the ancient astronaut theory,
aliens may have come to Earth for many reasons: to excavate,
to breed, to conquer, or simply to explore.
Certainly, we want to go out and find out about things
we don't know about.
We see the moon.
We want to go up to the moon and find out more things about
it; we see Mars, we want to go there.
We want to go to Jupiter.
We send out our probes.
So, if aliens are something like us, then perhaps they have
that same kind of motivation.
They just want to go learn.
Just like we exhibit curiosity, there are
other species out there that have the same trait.
It would be very egotistical to think that we're the only
explorers in this galaxy.
I mean, that would be a very sad statement to suggest we're the
only ones with a brain and want to go out there and explore.
But while our own journeys into space have been
brief and largely exploratory, could other beings, traveling
millions of miles to Earth, have stayed?
And, if so, might they still be among us?
Many ancient astronaut theorists think this
all happened in the past and the extraterrestrials came here,
did this and did that, and then they took off back to their own
planet.
But there's a lot of evidence to show that extraterrestrials
who might have come here in the past, they've never left.
They have bases somewhere on the planet underneath the
oceans, inside mountains.
In South America, there is very strong beliefs that many
UFOs come out of lakes and underwater.
Lake Titicaca and other lakes in Peru and Bolivia and other
areas of South America have some kind of underground,
underwater alien base associated with them.
If aliens were coming to our planet, there seems little
doubt that they would stop at the moon on their way here.
The moon itself is kind of the eye in the sky.
NASA says that the moon is apparently hollow.
During the Apollo missions, the command module crashed into the moon.
And the moon rang like a bell for hours.
There are craters on the moon which they cannot find a bottom
to, and it's thought, by some researchers, that these
bottomless craters are entrances inside our moon.
The whole enigma of the moon gets weirder and weirder the
more you know it.
Was the moon actually brought here from another solar system
and put into orbit around our planet?
Biologists say that life on this planet could never have
occurred without our moon.
And the reason for that is that the moon creates the tidal effect.
And without the effect of tides and this rhythmic motion on the
oceans, life would never have begun on this planet.
In my mind, the evidence is there that the moon is a
gigantic spaceship in orbit around our planet.
It's occupied by some extraterrestrial race.
In many ways, it's much like the George Lucas Death Star
concept in Star Wars where
they're building this artificial moon that's capable, with
technology, of actually destroying a planet.
But if alien beings are using the moon as some
sort of satellite for Earth observation, why?
What would be the purpose?
And where is the proof?
They would like to see us evolve.
You know, they are great masters, great... avatars.
They are very high.
And so are we.
And we need to live up to our potential.
We really need to live up to our potential for all people.
Your attention please.
Today, we are living still, as if we are alone in
the universe while hundreds and thousands of people are seeing
unusual craft in the skies as they did 5,000 years ago.
And so, in a way, the idea that the ancient aliens would finally
be coming around full circle all the way into the 21st
century... Us trying to push open a truth
that governments have suppressed in the 20th century, is really
very ironic.
There are many diverse and conflicting theories
concerning the idea that alien astronauts have been visiting
the earth for centuries.
But perhaps the proof lies in the most obvious place of all:
right within ourselves.
Somewhere in our genes it is coded that extra
terrestrials were here thousands of years ago.
And it takes a certain time before this message is open to
us, maybe in the brain.
I don't believe extraterrestrials, E.T.s,
ancient astronauts are the missing link.
I think what they very well could be, they may be the
beginning of the link-- the link that helped genetically alter
human beings, the link that jump-started our civilization
the way we are today.
It's very possible they came down here and saw some creature,
and they said, "You know what?
We're going to jump-start this."
It may take another ten million years for this thing to become
smart and intelligent.
So they created us.
And we're smart and intelligent now, aren't we?
