Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Mission - full transcript

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?

Who are the real-world Illuminati ?

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?
