Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 10, Episode 4 - Dark Forces - full transcript
Good and Evil. Light and Dark. God and Satan. In nearly every culture there are stories of opposing forces at work here on Earth--forces of a supernatural or otherworldly nature.
Possessed by demons.
The dark side needs physical
bodies to act and exist in.
Tempted by evil.
Many people desire things so badly
that they're willing
to forfeit their immortal soul.
And enlisted to the dark side.
They understood that they were
serving darkness.
If there is good that exists in the world,
must there also be evil?
Are there negative energies
that permeate the cosmos?
And if so, might the true source
of these dark forces
be extraterrestrial beings?
There's good and evil in the world.
When you look at all the evidence,
you're gonna find, behind this,
extraterrestrial entities.
Since the dawn of civilization,
mankind has credited its origins to gods
and other visitors from the stars.
What if it were true?
Did extraterrestrial beings
really help to shape our history?
And if so, are some of these beings acting
as dark forces?

Original Air Date on August 14, 2015
Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker".
Found guilty of killing 13 people.
He claims to be "a minion
of Satan sent to Earth
to carry out atrocities for the Devil."
David Berkowitz, "Son of Sam."
Charged with killing six people
and wounding seven others.
He stated that he was
a "soldier in a Satanic army."
Ted Bundy.
Serial killer and rapist.
Arrested in connection
with over 36 murders.
He alleged that something overtook him
while committing the crimes.
He called it "the entity."
Were these men simply delusional,
or could their claims
that they were compelled
to violence by dark entities
actually be true?
The idea of otherworldly agents
of good and evil
influencing humans
exists in nearly every culture
throughout the world.
Philosophers, religious scholars
and psychologists
have long debated not only
the existence of,
but also the nature of, these forces.
Light and dark forces
may be something quite objective and real.
They may in that sense
be spiritual powers,
uh, the things that are named
as God on the one hand
and Satan and the Devil
and the demons on the other.
Whether we think of light and dark forces
in metaphysical terms, that is out there
somewhere, or psychological terms,
there are light and dark forces
of some kind,
and respecting that is important.
The majority of humans on Earth
and throughout history believe
that otherworldly beings
are actually agents.
They're doing things in this world,
either directly to us or indirectly,
and that they too are experiencing
a battle or a struggle
and using us as humans as
agents, as proxies if you will,
to fight this battle.
There's obviously good
and evil in the world.
I think when you look
at all the evidence of the UFO
and the ancient astronaut evidence,
you're gonna find, behind this,
entities that were accused
of causing the darkness,
the war, the suffering, all of that,
were by and large
extraterrestrial entities.
They called them the gods,
uh, in Mesopotamia.
Also in Egypt.
And then that morphed into angels
and forces of Satan.
Today we call them extraterrestrials,
but it's really the same thing.
There's no question in my mind
that good and bad permeates
the entire universe,
that good and bad, yin and yang,
positive-negative exists
all throughout the known
and the unknown universe.
Good or evil, in my opinion, also applies
to extraterrestrials themselves.
Are good and evil more than just qualities
that exist within an individual?
Could they be tangible forces
that permeate the cosmos?
Perhaps further clues can be
found by examining ancient texts
that describe the unleashing
of dark forces upon the earth.
Mount Helicon, Central Greece.
At the base of this mountain,
sixth-century-BC poet Hesiod claimed
to have made contact with the nine Muses
immortal daughters of the god Zeus,
said to impart knowledge
and art to humans.
Hesiod composed poems under
the guidance of these muses,
including what many consider
his most important work...
the Theogony and the infamous
story of Pandora's box.
When the Titan, Prometheus,
stole fire from the gods
and gave it to humans,
Zeus wasn't happy about it.
Zeus wanted revenge.
So what he did was
he commissioned Hephaestus
to create Pandora, the first woman.
So he gave Pandora a pithos,
a jar that contained
all of the evils of the world.
We call it a box, but in Greek it's a jar,
and she's told,
"Don't open this",
and of course she opens it up,
and so all these evils
are released into the world.
These evil forces are
sometimes embodied by demons.
Sometimes those demons are gods,
sometimes they are a hybrid mix
of monsters and gods,
but they are the forces
of negative events in the world.
Zeus wanted to counterbalance the fact
that they had these good things
that had been unfairly, in Zeus'
opinion, given to humans.
So it's an explanation that lays
the existence of evil
at the responsibility
of the deities, of the gods.
Pandora is telling a theme
that people believed
to be true for a long time.
That these gods,
these extraterrestrial gods,
were in control of human society.
Pandora was an unleashing
of entities or beings to cause
these things to happen.
The box itself might have
been some sort of portal
that, when you opened the box,
you may actually create a doorway
that a whole variety of nasty
entities, spiritual beings
or extraterrestrial life, potentially,
was able to fly into the earth through.
Might the story of Pandora's box
be describing the release
of negative beings
upon the earth by extraterrestrials,
as ancient astronaut theorists propose?
Could it be that these dark forces
are actual entities
that infiltrated our world?
If we look into some
of the eastern legends,
we come across beings like the jinn,
who could on occasion provide
goodness and help
and on other occasions were like demons
and could provide all kinds of evil
and all kinds of temptation.
So that's the theory:
that the forces of good
and evil are perhaps
personal beings of some sort.
The jinn are-are really
of some alternative world,
but they're able to pass through gateways
and come into our world to influence us.
So you have to wonder, perhaps,
if the jinn aren't in some ways
some kind of extraterrestrial force
that's using other dimensions to appear
and influence us in some way.
Could it be that the stories of the Jinn
and of Pandora's box are actually accounts
of extraterrestrials purposely unleashing
dark forces upon humanity,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
And if so, might this be evidence
that alien entities exist
that are intent on man's destruction?
Perhaps clues can be found
by examining the beliefs
of a Christian sect
that was denounced as the Church of Satan
and ultimately exterminated.
Villerouge-Termen?s Castle.
Languedoc, France.
This medieval fortress,
dating back to the 13th century AD,
served as the final holdout
of the Christian sect known
as the Cathars.
In 1321,
the last known Cathar perfectus,
Guillaume B?libaste,
was burned at the stake here
as part of the Holy Inquisition.
The Cathars were a heretical sect
that developed in Europe
during the Middle Ages.
They are considered a Christian Heresy.
The Cathars saw all of the things
that happened in the world
as a result of a cosmic struggle
between the forces of good
and the forces of evil.
The forces of God on one hand
and the forces of Satan on the other hand.
And we human beings were nothing but pawns
in this cosmic struggle.
It was Heresy to believe
that there is a force as strong as God,
and the Cathars certainly believed that.
The Cathars believed in an evil force,
a force that was here to corrupt humans.
The Cathars referred
to this force as Rex Mundi.
Rex Mundi means the king of the world.
He is essentially a type of demon.
Rex Mundi will lead you from your path
with material temptations.
The Cathars believed
that there were two great forces
of darkness and light
that collided at the beginning of time.
And that the good God remained out there
somewhere in the stars,
but the bad God,
sometimes called the Devil,
called many names, created matter,
and it trapped our particles
of light in humanity.
The Cathars believed that we are angels
contained within flesh
and that we struggle every day
with remembering our divine origins,
with remembering
that there are dark forces that tempt us
away from our spirituality,
and they tempt us with the physical world.
The Cathars believed
that you had to lead a perfect,
an exemplary, aesthetic life
in order to escape this world.
If you didn't,
if you became too involved
in the things of this world,
upon death, you would be reincarnated.
There was no hell.
Hell is here, hell is on Earth.
The Cathars had very odd ideas
about the human race.
Their ultimate idea of heaven,
or of a celestial end of the universe,
was that everybody would resume
a spiritual nature
and that all things physical would go.
Because the Devil is the-the ruler
over this physical world,
this perishable world,
he's going to try to exchange
these possessions on this earth,
uh, for things that
are immortal or imperishable
namely human souls.
And many people desire things
on this earth
so badly that they're willing
to forfeit their immortal soul,
their eternal soul,
and live under the rule of the Devil
in exchange for this temporary wealth.
Could it be that humans
really are otherworldly beings
trapped in physical bodies,
as the Cathars believed?
And do the dark forces
serve to keep mankind in
physical shackles here on Earth?
Some ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and suggest that
further evidence can be found
in one of humanity's earliest
creation accounts
the Mesopotamian epic
known as the Atra-Hasis.
We know from Sumerian cuneiforms
that the gods created humans as slaves.
Our forefathers could not understand it.
They believed, erroneously,
that these extraterrestrials
are some gods,
because they came down from the skies,
they influenced humans,
and they had supernatural forces.
They were not spirits or
ghosts definitely not.
The Mesopotamian creation story
talks about that there's several elements
that needed to go
into creating this work race
that the extraterrestrial gods
wanted to make.
In order for the body to function,
you need to attach a soul to make it work.
The gods fashioned the body
as a sort of prison
that would trap the divine sparks or souls
of the light beings in a human form.
One begins to wonder if
this dualistic or hybrid aspect
of humanity is sort of like a game
to these extraterrestrial gods.
Let's conflict these humans.
Let's put them on this planet.
Let's see what happens.
Humans are essentially hybrid beings.
We are conflicted beings.
Part of us is immaterial and light,
and the other part of us
is material and dark.
And it's that constant conflict between us
that-that rules our lives
and defines our civilization.
Is it possible that humans were not only
the creation of extraterrestrial beings,
but also one deliberately fashioned
to possess attributes
of both good and evil?
And if so, are the forces
of light and dark
in an epic struggle
to influence the path of mankind?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the life
of one of the most controversial
and polarizing figures
in modern history
Grigory Rasputin.
Yekaterinburg, Russia.
July 17, 1918.
Members of the deposed
Russian royal family,
Tsar Nicholas
and Tsarina Alexandra Romanov
and their five children, are awakened
in the middle of the night
by Bolshevik soldiers.
They are led to the basement
of their safe house.
One after the other, they are executed.
Rumors spread that their death
was the result of a curse
laid upon them by the powerful mystic
Grigory Rasputin,
a man who had been murdered himself
a year and a half prior.
Rasputin wrote an open letter to Russia.
And within this open letter he states,
"If I am murdered by the royal family
"or by someone related
to the royal family,
"within two years every member of
the royal family will be dead."
Just who was this mysterious
figure known as Rasputin?
And how did he come
to be so infamously associated
with dark powers from beyond the grave?
Pokrovskoye, Western Siberia.
A comet streaks across the Russian sky
the evening of January 23, 1871.
This celestial event
is said to have set the stage
for the birth of Rasputin.
From the, uh, memoir of Maria Rasputin,
Rasputin's daughter,
she wrote that when he was born,
there were other omens and portents
things like a dog
with six legs being born,
babies with deformities,
that kind of thing.
From a very early age,
Rasputin displayed what some believed
to be supernatural powers,
including psychic premonitions
and the ability
to heal animals.
And by the time he reached adulthood,
he would experience a vision
that would profoundly alter
the trajectory of his peasant life.
One day while plowing his fields,
Rasputin sees a strange light in the sky,
and out from the middle of this light
emerges a vision of the Virgin Mary.
And she doesn't speak to him,
but he watches her gesture to the horizon
and Rasputin takes this to mean
that he is being told by
the Mother of God that he must
go and find himself
on a spiritual pilgrimage.
And this begins the huge shift
in Rasputin's life.
But was it really the Virgin Mary
that appeared to Rasputin?
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that what Rasputin encountered
was a very different kind
of otherworldly being.
The vision set Rasputin
on his course of then trying
to become a religious monk,
which finally led him
to the czarist family.
This has been a very consistent thing
throughout all of human history.
People claiming that they're being guided.
Well, then you have to ask,
well, who's guiding them?
People have made contact.
And it is clear that there is
a definitive extraterrestrial
involvement here.
We have religious-ized this understanding.
We have developed a mythology,
a legend around something,
and we have not understood it correctly.
In 1905,
after years of wandering and
developing a reputation as a healer,
Rasputin was introduced
to the Russian royal family.
The reason why
the royal family are
interested in Rasputin
is the problem they have
with their only son Alexis,
who is hemophilic.
It becomes very clear
from the earliest visits to the palace
that Rasputin's prayers, his gaze,
that psychological penetration
that he's able to help stop the bleeding.
Rasputin certainly had
a powerful magnetic presence.
He gained great favor
with the royal family,
the czar's family.
Some felt he was
one of the most powerful people
in Russia at the time, but he also drew
the attention of powerful rivals,
so he made some major enemies.
Rasputin's behavior certainly became
an area of concern for the nobility.
He was seen to be debaucherous.
He was involved in orgies.
He was a very, very heavy drinker.
He was often seen battling
with demons out loud
as he walked through the streets.
Rasputin's erratic behavior
would earn him the nickname
"the mad monk."
But might he really have been functioning
as a vessel for otherworldly forces?
Forces he had little,
if any, control over?
This whole idea of channeling
essentially implies that you are
a conduit to a different world
or to a different realm,
so then the question arises,
are you in control of,
uh, that conduit or not?
The dark side needs physical bodies
to act and exist in.
And Rasputin could've been one of those.
They could've used him.
They could've possessed him.
Rasputin really almost comes
across as really being a pawn
in a much bigger game.
And that's a bigger game that's
connected to extraterrestrials.
And that's one
of the amazing things about it.
On the night of December 16, 1916,
Grigory Rasputin was lured to the home
of Prince Felix Yusopov.
Yusopov and his co-conspirators
were convinced that Rasputin
was set to destroy the royal family
and was being led by forces of darkness.
Yusupov offers Rasputin cakes
that he has laced with cyanide
and sweet wine that also is poisoned.
Felix Yusupov becomes anxious
because Rasputin hasn't died
despite consuming what he thinks
are prodigious amounts of-of cyanide.
So he makes an excuse, goes upstairs
to talk to the other conspirators
and-and gets a gun from them.
He comes back downstairs
and then he shoots him.
And he thinks that he's killed him.
Rasputin, however, is still alive.
And he crawls out of the cellar
and out into the courtyard,
where he's bleeding
profusely onto the snow.
Then they got really panicked
and they actually
shot him through the head as well.
They beat his body way beyond the point
that somebody should have died,
then they tie him up and they
throw him into the river
and his body was found
frozen solid in the ice of the river,
and it showed that he had managed
to wrestle out of his shackles
inside the river.
Rasputin would not die.
What would have killed a
normal man did not kill him.
This raises a very interesting question.
Was Rasputin somehow protected?
Could it be that there were
extraterrestrial dark forces
working through Rasputin
and possibly protecting him,
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
Might these same forces have led
to the assassination
of the Russian royal family
an outcome that Rasputin had prophesied?
If so, are there other humans on Earth
that serve as foot soldiers
for an otherworldly cause?
Perhaps evidence of this
can be found by exploring
what was happening behind the scenes
during one of mankind's darkest hours.
Genghis Kahn.
Vlad the Impaler.
Adolf Hitler.
Joseph Stalin.
Many of history's most powerful leaders
have been accused of making a pact
with dark forces in exchange for power.
The idea of a pact with the Devil
seems to be worldwide.
And there are many stories of those
who have made such a pact
and then had their life of wealth
and power and sexual pleasure.
Today we don't talk about making
a deal with the Devil
as much as we talk about making pacts
with extraterrestrial civilizations.
This is a-a retooling
of a very ancient idea,
but it may in fact take us
back to the original source
and the original truth of these stories
of deals with the Devil
or other nefarious beings.
Have we historically misinterpreted
stories of encounters with demonic forces?
And could these entities
actually be extraterrestrial,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
Wewelsburg Castle, Northwest Germany.
In the crypt of the north tower,
12 pedestals surrounding a gas pipe
meant to feed an eternal flame
stand as a testament
to the occult leanings
of Heinrich Himmler and the Nazi SS.
And on the marble floors of
the circular Hall of SS Generals
is the mystical symbol of a Black Sun.
Wewelsburg Castle was acquired
in 1933 by Himmler.
He intended to make that the
spiritual center of the world.
The Black Sun symbol symbolized
an invisible sun or a dead sun,
and consequently it was believed
that there was hidden power
that resided in that,
that could be tapped,
that would link you into
a completely different source
of energies from the ordinary
ones that you would get.
By tapping into a dark force,
you have more power.
If you think about necromancy,
black magic, alchemy,
the black arts,
you're trying to tap into the dark forces
to accrue more power.
And of course, having power
from some telluric earthly dark force
would make you unvanquishable.
Nazi Germany
was an occult society.
They were seeking contact.
They were seeking the secret
power to gain control,
because they worshipped
what was called the Black Sun
the darkness.
They understood that
they were serving darkness.
Particularly within the SS,
they were totally absorbed
with trying to make contact
with hidden entities, extraterrestrials.
Even they used a medium
to contact other worlds.
It is well known that high-level
members of the Nazi Party
participated in magic ritual
and extraterrestrial contact efforts.
However, the Allies were also said
to have employed psychics,
magicians and channelers
to assist the war effort.
The Allies also made use
of what you might call
psychic magical, uh, warfare,
and some of it was done
at the highest level.
Churchill, in particular,
was very much involved into that.
Churchill, of course, had been
initiated as a Druid in 1908.
He was into the occult thing.
There was more psychics
and occultists, et cetera,
on the British government's payroll
than that of any other government
except the German government,
'cause Churchill decided
that was very important.
He literally recruited a whole
team of psychics and occultists
and put them on the payroll,
like Aleister Crowley.
Aleister Crowley was considered
the world's most infamous occultist
and claimed to have studied
the secret teachings
of the ancient Egyptians.
Aleister Crowley was a British occultist
who's considered the wickedest man alive.
He was important to human
history because he is said
to have given Winston Churchill
that famous "V" sign.
"V for victory"
is what we think it means,
but in Crowley's world
it's a s... ancient symbol
that was given to Churchill
to help defeat Nazism
and to counteract the power
of the swastika.
Is it possible that both the Allied forces
and the Nazi SS were
attempting to receive help
from otherworldly sources?
If so, did World War II serve as a battle
between extraterrestrial forces
of light and dark?
Perhaps evidence of this can be found
by further examining the magic rituals
of Aleister Crowley.
NARRATOR Rome, Italy.
November 6, 2014.
Vatican officials announce
a pastoral emergency
due to a rise in occult activity,
such as the use of Ouija boards and s?ances.
They caution that the spiritual realm
is very real and that these games
may have unintended consequences.
Similar warnings concerning the danger
of trying to summon dark forces
can be found throughout history,
and in 1918,
the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley
claimed to be in contact
with a dark entity
that he was actually able
to put a face to.
Aleister Crowley conducted some rituals
in which he came into contact
with a being called Lam.
He believed this was what,
as he called it,
an interdimensional being.
But he never wrote anything about Lam,
which is curious,
'cause he wrote a great deal
about some of his other rituals.
It could be that it frightened
him and he didn't
want to encourage other people
to go down that stage.
What was he looking at?
Where did that creature come from?
Who knows?
But it doesn't look human.
It looks more extraterrestrial.
Lam looks very much
like a Grey alien.
And in some ways he looks like
one of the Atenists,
like Akhenaten.
Or their children,
with large, extended heads.
So you have to ask yourself, is this Lam
actually some Grey alien
who's appeared to Crowley,
and have these Grey aliens
appeared throughout history?
Is it possible that through
his ritual practices,
Aleister Crowley made contact
with an extraterrestrial
entity called Lam?
Some ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and claim further evidence can be found
by examining the magical rituals
that coincided with the beginning
of the age of UFOs.
Pasadena, California.
1946.
In a mansion on Millionaire's Row,
rocket scientist and founder
of Jet Propulsion Laboratories
Jack Parsons
and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard
dabble in the magical rituals
of Aleister Crowley.
Jack Parsons is arguably
the most controversial and strange figure
in the history
of the American space program.
He found out about the work
of Aleister Crowley
and the secret society known as O.T.O.,
or Ordo Templi Orientis,
and Parsons got very interested
in what you could essentially call
black magic and Satanism.
Then comes along the
science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.
L. Ron Hubbard moved in with Jack Parsons,
and together they started to do
this elaborate magical ceremony.
Between January and March 1946,
Jack Parsons and Ron Hubbard
were conducting these rituals.
Crowley certainly didn't authorize
them to do the rituals.
The one thing he did say
was to advise people
not to do his rituals unless
they were properly prepared.
He was not happy with them doing them.
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that by conducting the rituals
without understanding the consequences,
Hubbard and Parsons
inadvertently ushered in
the UFO age.
Apparently the same latitude
line of Pasadena, California,
if you take it
all the way around the earth,
you've got the Roswell crash
which happens the very next year, 1947,
and many other UFO sightings and crashes
that took place all over the world.
It was as if Parsons and Hubbard
were walking alongside a tarp
that was hanging down vertically
and they had a box-cutter knife
and slit holes in the tarp,
and these holes become like portals
that allow extraterrestrials to get in.
I think that Hubbard
and Parsons dabbled in things
that they shouldn't have dabbled with.
There are a lot of experts
out there that think
that demonic forces
are indeed extraterrestrials.
So who knows what the two
of them mixed and conjured up?
But there was always talk
that the two of them
were big into UFOs and
very strange things like that.
And they may have opened up a doorway,
a portal to get all these things through.
Is it possible that the
modern-day UFO phenomenon
is connected to rituals
that were conducted
to summon otherworldly beings?
Could this be evidence
that dark forces really are
of an extraterrestrial nature,
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
recent studies that show
positive and negative energy
can, in fact, alter our physical world.
Tokyo, Japan.
1999.
Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto
publishes findings claiming
that human thoughts, words,
and feelings have a direct
effect on water molecules.
Emoto and his team subjected
samples of water
to numerous types of positive
and negative stimuli,
such as applying labels to the samples
and addressing them verbally.
They then flash-froze the samples
to capture the structural
formation of ice crystals.
Using high-speed photography,
the team found observable differences
in the crystal formations
when subjected to destructive thoughts
compared to thoughts of love
and appreciation.
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that these findings
may have profound implications
not only regarding the existence
of good and evil
but also on our relationship
to extraterrestrial entities.
There could be parasitic
entities in the spirit plane
that can feed off of negative energy
and actually harness that energy
and use it as a food supply.
When we give them our energy
through sending a concentrated
focus towards them
that they then have more ability
to project into our reality.
It's possible that right now on Earth
we are actually seeing a battle
between negative
and positive extraterrestrials
who are working behind the scenes
in a battle for control
over humanity's future.
Do the observable effects
of positive and negative energies
on the structure
of water molecules provide proof
that dark forces exist?
If so, could the escalating violence
occurring in our world today
have a more profound origin
than we realize?
There are those who believe
the answer is yes
and that humans
may have the power to stop it.
You can't really have the forces
of light without forces of dark.
And every individual has to
make that choice themselves
of whether they're going to go
to the dark side of the force
or the light side of the force.
You have the power of good
and the power of evil.
They are looking for recruits
to help each of them to conquer the other.
So maybe the powers have times
of ascendancy
and they have times of failure.
And so we're left wondering:
who is going to win?
According to the biblical stories
the Apocalypse of John, right,
the Book of Revelation
if you could peel behind and look
and see what's really going on
in the heavenly realm,
then you could see
that there are forces at play
and that what we're seeing on this earth
is just the-the physical manifestation
of an otherworldly battle that's going on.
When we think about this
struggle between light and dark,
this is the whole end times
scenario of Christian
or Judeo-Christian prophecy
that at the end times
we will see a final battle
between the sons of light
and the sons of darkness,
with humankind as the swords
in that battle.
The biblical prophecy is clear:
we will reintegrate with
our universal destiny,
a restoration
of our bonds of heaven and earth,
which mean an extraterrestrial
and terrestrial bond and union.
And when the Messiah comes,
he comes with an army.
It comes from a place off this earth,
most believe from out of the skies.
Well, what would we call an invading
army from out of the skies?
We're not going to call it
an army of angels.
We're going to call it
an extraterrestrial invasion.
Are human beings actually soldiers
in a cosmic war between good and evil?
And if so, have our experiences
with the light and dark forces
helped to prepare us for the final battle,
one that will reunite us
with our extraterrestrial creators?
Or will we find ourselves fighting
against them?
CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY
A+E NETWORKS
The dark side needs physical
bodies to act and exist in.
Tempted by evil.
Many people desire things so badly
that they're willing
to forfeit their immortal soul.
And enlisted to the dark side.
They understood that they were
serving darkness.
If there is good that exists in the world,
must there also be evil?
Are there negative energies
that permeate the cosmos?
And if so, might the true source
of these dark forces
be extraterrestrial beings?
There's good and evil in the world.
When you look at all the evidence,
you're gonna find, behind this,
extraterrestrial entities.
Since the dawn of civilization,
mankind has credited its origins to gods
and other visitors from the stars.
What if it were true?
Did extraterrestrial beings
really help to shape our history?
And if so, are some of these beings acting
as dark forces?

Dark Forces
Original Air Date on August 14, 2015
Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker".
Found guilty of killing 13 people.
He claims to be "a minion
of Satan sent to Earth
to carry out atrocities for the Devil."
David Berkowitz, "Son of Sam."
Charged with killing six people
and wounding seven others.
He stated that he was
a "soldier in a Satanic army."
Ted Bundy.
Serial killer and rapist.
Arrested in connection
with over 36 murders.
He alleged that something overtook him
while committing the crimes.
He called it "the entity."
Were these men simply delusional,
or could their claims
that they were compelled
to violence by dark entities
actually be true?
The idea of otherworldly agents
of good and evil
influencing humans
exists in nearly every culture
throughout the world.
Philosophers, religious scholars
and psychologists
have long debated not only
the existence of,
but also the nature of, these forces.
Light and dark forces
may be something quite objective and real.
They may in that sense
be spiritual powers,
uh, the things that are named
as God on the one hand
and Satan and the Devil
and the demons on the other.
Whether we think of light and dark forces
in metaphysical terms, that is out there
somewhere, or psychological terms,
there are light and dark forces
of some kind,
and respecting that is important.
The majority of humans on Earth
and throughout history believe
that otherworldly beings
are actually agents.
They're doing things in this world,
either directly to us or indirectly,
and that they too are experiencing
a battle or a struggle
and using us as humans as
agents, as proxies if you will,
to fight this battle.
There's obviously good
and evil in the world.
I think when you look
at all the evidence of the UFO
and the ancient astronaut evidence,
you're gonna find, behind this,
entities that were accused
of causing the darkness,
the war, the suffering, all of that,
were by and large
extraterrestrial entities.
They called them the gods,
uh, in Mesopotamia.
Also in Egypt.
And then that morphed into angels
and forces of Satan.
Today we call them extraterrestrials,
but it's really the same thing.
There's no question in my mind
that good and bad permeates
the entire universe,
that good and bad, yin and yang,
positive-negative exists
all throughout the known
and the unknown universe.
Good or evil, in my opinion, also applies
to extraterrestrials themselves.
Are good and evil more than just qualities
that exist within an individual?
Could they be tangible forces
that permeate the cosmos?
Perhaps further clues can be
found by examining ancient texts
that describe the unleashing
of dark forces upon the earth.
Mount Helicon, Central Greece.
At the base of this mountain,
sixth-century-BC poet Hesiod claimed
to have made contact with the nine Muses
immortal daughters of the god Zeus,
said to impart knowledge
and art to humans.
Hesiod composed poems under
the guidance of these muses,
including what many consider
his most important work...
the Theogony and the infamous
story of Pandora's box.
When the Titan, Prometheus,
stole fire from the gods
and gave it to humans,
Zeus wasn't happy about it.
Zeus wanted revenge.
So what he did was
he commissioned Hephaestus
to create Pandora, the first woman.
So he gave Pandora a pithos,
a jar that contained
all of the evils of the world.
We call it a box, but in Greek it's a jar,
and she's told,
"Don't open this",
and of course she opens it up,
and so all these evils
are released into the world.
These evil forces are
sometimes embodied by demons.
Sometimes those demons are gods,
sometimes they are a hybrid mix
of monsters and gods,
but they are the forces
of negative events in the world.
Zeus wanted to counterbalance the fact
that they had these good things
that had been unfairly, in Zeus'
opinion, given to humans.
So it's an explanation that lays
the existence of evil
at the responsibility
of the deities, of the gods.
Pandora is telling a theme
that people believed
to be true for a long time.
That these gods,
these extraterrestrial gods,
were in control of human society.
Pandora was an unleashing
of entities or beings to cause
these things to happen.
The box itself might have
been some sort of portal
that, when you opened the box,
you may actually create a doorway
that a whole variety of nasty
entities, spiritual beings
or extraterrestrial life, potentially,
was able to fly into the earth through.
Might the story of Pandora's box
be describing the release
of negative beings
upon the earth by extraterrestrials,
as ancient astronaut theorists propose?
Could it be that these dark forces
are actual entities
that infiltrated our world?
If we look into some
of the eastern legends,
we come across beings like the jinn,
who could on occasion provide
goodness and help
and on other occasions were like demons
and could provide all kinds of evil
and all kinds of temptation.
So that's the theory:
that the forces of good
and evil are perhaps
personal beings of some sort.
The jinn are-are really
of some alternative world,
but they're able to pass through gateways
and come into our world to influence us.
So you have to wonder, perhaps,
if the jinn aren't in some ways
some kind of extraterrestrial force
that's using other dimensions to appear
and influence us in some way.
Could it be that the stories of the Jinn
and of Pandora's box are actually accounts
of extraterrestrials purposely unleashing
dark forces upon humanity,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
And if so, might this be evidence
that alien entities exist
that are intent on man's destruction?
Perhaps clues can be found
by examining the beliefs
of a Christian sect
that was denounced as the Church of Satan
and ultimately exterminated.
Villerouge-Termen?s Castle.
Languedoc, France.
This medieval fortress,
dating back to the 13th century AD,
served as the final holdout
of the Christian sect known
as the Cathars.
In 1321,
the last known Cathar perfectus,
Guillaume B?libaste,
was burned at the stake here
as part of the Holy Inquisition.
The Cathars were a heretical sect
that developed in Europe
during the Middle Ages.
They are considered a Christian Heresy.
The Cathars saw all of the things
that happened in the world
as a result of a cosmic struggle
between the forces of good
and the forces of evil.
The forces of God on one hand
and the forces of Satan on the other hand.
And we human beings were nothing but pawns
in this cosmic struggle.
It was Heresy to believe
that there is a force as strong as God,
and the Cathars certainly believed that.
The Cathars believed in an evil force,
a force that was here to corrupt humans.
The Cathars referred
to this force as Rex Mundi.
Rex Mundi means the king of the world.
He is essentially a type of demon.
Rex Mundi will lead you from your path
with material temptations.
The Cathars believed
that there were two great forces
of darkness and light
that collided at the beginning of time.
And that the good God remained out there
somewhere in the stars,
but the bad God,
sometimes called the Devil,
called many names, created matter,
and it trapped our particles
of light in humanity.
The Cathars believed that we are angels
contained within flesh
and that we struggle every day
with remembering our divine origins,
with remembering
that there are dark forces that tempt us
away from our spirituality,
and they tempt us with the physical world.
The Cathars believed
that you had to lead a perfect,
an exemplary, aesthetic life
in order to escape this world.
If you didn't,
if you became too involved
in the things of this world,
upon death, you would be reincarnated.
There was no hell.
Hell is here, hell is on Earth.
The Cathars had very odd ideas
about the human race.
Their ultimate idea of heaven,
or of a celestial end of the universe,
was that everybody would resume
a spiritual nature
and that all things physical would go.
Because the Devil is the-the ruler
over this physical world,
this perishable world,
he's going to try to exchange
these possessions on this earth,
uh, for things that
are immortal or imperishable
namely human souls.
And many people desire things
on this earth
so badly that they're willing
to forfeit their immortal soul,
their eternal soul,
and live under the rule of the Devil
in exchange for this temporary wealth.
Could it be that humans
really are otherworldly beings
trapped in physical bodies,
as the Cathars believed?
And do the dark forces
serve to keep mankind in
physical shackles here on Earth?
Some ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and suggest that
further evidence can be found
in one of humanity's earliest
creation accounts
the Mesopotamian epic
known as the Atra-Hasis.
We know from Sumerian cuneiforms
that the gods created humans as slaves.
Our forefathers could not understand it.
They believed, erroneously,
that these extraterrestrials
are some gods,
because they came down from the skies,
they influenced humans,
and they had supernatural forces.
They were not spirits or
ghosts definitely not.
The Mesopotamian creation story
talks about that there's several elements
that needed to go
into creating this work race
that the extraterrestrial gods
wanted to make.
In order for the body to function,
you need to attach a soul to make it work.
The gods fashioned the body
as a sort of prison
that would trap the divine sparks or souls
of the light beings in a human form.
One begins to wonder if
this dualistic or hybrid aspect
of humanity is sort of like a game
to these extraterrestrial gods.
Let's conflict these humans.
Let's put them on this planet.
Let's see what happens.
Humans are essentially hybrid beings.
We are conflicted beings.
Part of us is immaterial and light,
and the other part of us
is material and dark.
And it's that constant conflict between us
that-that rules our lives
and defines our civilization.
Is it possible that humans were not only
the creation of extraterrestrial beings,
but also one deliberately fashioned
to possess attributes
of both good and evil?
And if so, are the forces
of light and dark
in an epic struggle
to influence the path of mankind?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the life
of one of the most controversial
and polarizing figures
in modern history
Grigory Rasputin.
Yekaterinburg, Russia.
July 17, 1918.
Members of the deposed
Russian royal family,
Tsar Nicholas
and Tsarina Alexandra Romanov
and their five children, are awakened
in the middle of the night
by Bolshevik soldiers.
They are led to the basement
of their safe house.
One after the other, they are executed.
Rumors spread that their death
was the result of a curse
laid upon them by the powerful mystic
Grigory Rasputin,
a man who had been murdered himself
a year and a half prior.
Rasputin wrote an open letter to Russia.
And within this open letter he states,
"If I am murdered by the royal family
"or by someone related
to the royal family,
"within two years every member of
the royal family will be dead."
Just who was this mysterious
figure known as Rasputin?
And how did he come
to be so infamously associated
with dark powers from beyond the grave?
Pokrovskoye, Western Siberia.
A comet streaks across the Russian sky
the evening of January 23, 1871.
This celestial event
is said to have set the stage
for the birth of Rasputin.
From the, uh, memoir of Maria Rasputin,
Rasputin's daughter,
she wrote that when he was born,
there were other omens and portents
things like a dog
with six legs being born,
babies with deformities,
that kind of thing.
From a very early age,
Rasputin displayed what some believed
to be supernatural powers,
including psychic premonitions
and the ability
to heal animals.
And by the time he reached adulthood,
he would experience a vision
that would profoundly alter
the trajectory of his peasant life.
One day while plowing his fields,
Rasputin sees a strange light in the sky,
and out from the middle of this light
emerges a vision of the Virgin Mary.
And she doesn't speak to him,
but he watches her gesture to the horizon
and Rasputin takes this to mean
that he is being told by
the Mother of God that he must
go and find himself
on a spiritual pilgrimage.
And this begins the huge shift
in Rasputin's life.
But was it really the Virgin Mary
that appeared to Rasputin?
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that what Rasputin encountered
was a very different kind
of otherworldly being.
The vision set Rasputin
on his course of then trying
to become a religious monk,
which finally led him
to the czarist family.
This has been a very consistent thing
throughout all of human history.
People claiming that they're being guided.
Well, then you have to ask,
well, who's guiding them?
People have made contact.
And it is clear that there is
a definitive extraterrestrial
involvement here.
We have religious-ized this understanding.
We have developed a mythology,
a legend around something,
and we have not understood it correctly.
In 1905,
after years of wandering and
developing a reputation as a healer,
Rasputin was introduced
to the Russian royal family.
The reason why
the royal family are
interested in Rasputin
is the problem they have
with their only son Alexis,
who is hemophilic.
It becomes very clear
from the earliest visits to the palace
that Rasputin's prayers, his gaze,
that psychological penetration
that he's able to help stop the bleeding.
Rasputin certainly had
a powerful magnetic presence.
He gained great favor
with the royal family,
the czar's family.
Some felt he was
one of the most powerful people
in Russia at the time, but he also drew
the attention of powerful rivals,
so he made some major enemies.
Rasputin's behavior certainly became
an area of concern for the nobility.
He was seen to be debaucherous.
He was involved in orgies.
He was a very, very heavy drinker.
He was often seen battling
with demons out loud
as he walked through the streets.
Rasputin's erratic behavior
would earn him the nickname
"the mad monk."
But might he really have been functioning
as a vessel for otherworldly forces?
Forces he had little,
if any, control over?
This whole idea of channeling
essentially implies that you are
a conduit to a different world
or to a different realm,
so then the question arises,
are you in control of,
uh, that conduit or not?
The dark side needs physical bodies
to act and exist in.
And Rasputin could've been one of those.
They could've used him.
They could've possessed him.
Rasputin really almost comes
across as really being a pawn
in a much bigger game.
And that's a bigger game that's
connected to extraterrestrials.
And that's one
of the amazing things about it.
On the night of December 16, 1916,
Grigory Rasputin was lured to the home
of Prince Felix Yusopov.
Yusopov and his co-conspirators
were convinced that Rasputin
was set to destroy the royal family
and was being led by forces of darkness.
Yusupov offers Rasputin cakes
that he has laced with cyanide
and sweet wine that also is poisoned.
Felix Yusupov becomes anxious
because Rasputin hasn't died
despite consuming what he thinks
are prodigious amounts of-of cyanide.
So he makes an excuse, goes upstairs
to talk to the other conspirators
and-and gets a gun from them.
He comes back downstairs
and then he shoots him.
And he thinks that he's killed him.
Rasputin, however, is still alive.
And he crawls out of the cellar
and out into the courtyard,
where he's bleeding
profusely onto the snow.
Then they got really panicked
and they actually
shot him through the head as well.
They beat his body way beyond the point
that somebody should have died,
then they tie him up and they
throw him into the river
and his body was found
frozen solid in the ice of the river,
and it showed that he had managed
to wrestle out of his shackles
inside the river.
Rasputin would not die.
What would have killed a
normal man did not kill him.
This raises a very interesting question.
Was Rasputin somehow protected?
Could it be that there were
extraterrestrial dark forces
working through Rasputin
and possibly protecting him,
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
Might these same forces have led
to the assassination
of the Russian royal family
an outcome that Rasputin had prophesied?
If so, are there other humans on Earth
that serve as foot soldiers
for an otherworldly cause?
Perhaps evidence of this
can be found by exploring
what was happening behind the scenes
during one of mankind's darkest hours.
Genghis Kahn.
Vlad the Impaler.
Adolf Hitler.
Joseph Stalin.
Many of history's most powerful leaders
have been accused of making a pact
with dark forces in exchange for power.
The idea of a pact with the Devil
seems to be worldwide.
And there are many stories of those
who have made such a pact
and then had their life of wealth
and power and sexual pleasure.
Today we don't talk about making
a deal with the Devil
as much as we talk about making pacts
with extraterrestrial civilizations.
This is a-a retooling
of a very ancient idea,
but it may in fact take us
back to the original source
and the original truth of these stories
of deals with the Devil
or other nefarious beings.
Have we historically misinterpreted
stories of encounters with demonic forces?
And could these entities
actually be extraterrestrial,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
Wewelsburg Castle, Northwest Germany.
In the crypt of the north tower,
12 pedestals surrounding a gas pipe
meant to feed an eternal flame
stand as a testament
to the occult leanings
of Heinrich Himmler and the Nazi SS.
And on the marble floors of
the circular Hall of SS Generals
is the mystical symbol of a Black Sun.
Wewelsburg Castle was acquired
in 1933 by Himmler.
He intended to make that the
spiritual center of the world.
The Black Sun symbol symbolized
an invisible sun or a dead sun,
and consequently it was believed
that there was hidden power
that resided in that,
that could be tapped,
that would link you into
a completely different source
of energies from the ordinary
ones that you would get.
By tapping into a dark force,
you have more power.
If you think about necromancy,
black magic, alchemy,
the black arts,
you're trying to tap into the dark forces
to accrue more power.
And of course, having power
from some telluric earthly dark force
would make you unvanquishable.
Nazi Germany
was an occult society.
They were seeking contact.
They were seeking the secret
power to gain control,
because they worshipped
what was called the Black Sun
the darkness.
They understood that
they were serving darkness.
Particularly within the SS,
they were totally absorbed
with trying to make contact
with hidden entities, extraterrestrials.
Even they used a medium
to contact other worlds.
It is well known that high-level
members of the Nazi Party
participated in magic ritual
and extraterrestrial contact efforts.
However, the Allies were also said
to have employed psychics,
magicians and channelers
to assist the war effort.
The Allies also made use
of what you might call
psychic magical, uh, warfare,
and some of it was done
at the highest level.
Churchill, in particular,
was very much involved into that.
Churchill, of course, had been
initiated as a Druid in 1908.
He was into the occult thing.
There was more psychics
and occultists, et cetera,
on the British government's payroll
than that of any other government
except the German government,
'cause Churchill decided
that was very important.
He literally recruited a whole
team of psychics and occultists
and put them on the payroll,
like Aleister Crowley.
Aleister Crowley was considered
the world's most infamous occultist
and claimed to have studied
the secret teachings
of the ancient Egyptians.
Aleister Crowley was a British occultist
who's considered the wickedest man alive.
He was important to human
history because he is said
to have given Winston Churchill
that famous "V" sign.
"V for victory"
is what we think it means,
but in Crowley's world
it's a s... ancient symbol
that was given to Churchill
to help defeat Nazism
and to counteract the power
of the swastika.
Is it possible that both the Allied forces
and the Nazi SS were
attempting to receive help
from otherworldly sources?
If so, did World War II serve as a battle
between extraterrestrial forces
of light and dark?
Perhaps evidence of this can be found
by further examining the magic rituals
of Aleister Crowley.
NARRATOR Rome, Italy.
November 6, 2014.
Vatican officials announce
a pastoral emergency
due to a rise in occult activity,
such as the use of Ouija boards and s?ances.
They caution that the spiritual realm
is very real and that these games
may have unintended consequences.
Similar warnings concerning the danger
of trying to summon dark forces
can be found throughout history,
and in 1918,
the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley
claimed to be in contact
with a dark entity
that he was actually able
to put a face to.
Aleister Crowley conducted some rituals
in which he came into contact
with a being called Lam.
He believed this was what,
as he called it,
an interdimensional being.
But he never wrote anything about Lam,
which is curious,
'cause he wrote a great deal
about some of his other rituals.
It could be that it frightened
him and he didn't
want to encourage other people
to go down that stage.
What was he looking at?
Where did that creature come from?
Who knows?
But it doesn't look human.
It looks more extraterrestrial.
Lam looks very much
like a Grey alien.
And in some ways he looks like
one of the Atenists,
like Akhenaten.
Or their children,
with large, extended heads.
So you have to ask yourself, is this Lam
actually some Grey alien
who's appeared to Crowley,
and have these Grey aliens
appeared throughout history?
Is it possible that through
his ritual practices,
Aleister Crowley made contact
with an extraterrestrial
entity called Lam?
Some ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and claim further evidence can be found
by examining the magical rituals
that coincided with the beginning
of the age of UFOs.
Pasadena, California.
1946.
In a mansion on Millionaire's Row,
rocket scientist and founder
of Jet Propulsion Laboratories
Jack Parsons
and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard
dabble in the magical rituals
of Aleister Crowley.
Jack Parsons is arguably
the most controversial and strange figure
in the history
of the American space program.
He found out about the work
of Aleister Crowley
and the secret society known as O.T.O.,
or Ordo Templi Orientis,
and Parsons got very interested
in what you could essentially call
black magic and Satanism.
Then comes along the
science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.
L. Ron Hubbard moved in with Jack Parsons,
and together they started to do
this elaborate magical ceremony.
Between January and March 1946,
Jack Parsons and Ron Hubbard
were conducting these rituals.
Crowley certainly didn't authorize
them to do the rituals.
The one thing he did say
was to advise people
not to do his rituals unless
they were properly prepared.
He was not happy with them doing them.
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that by conducting the rituals
without understanding the consequences,
Hubbard and Parsons
inadvertently ushered in
the UFO age.
Apparently the same latitude
line of Pasadena, California,
if you take it
all the way around the earth,
you've got the Roswell crash
which happens the very next year, 1947,
and many other UFO sightings and crashes
that took place all over the world.
It was as if Parsons and Hubbard
were walking alongside a tarp
that was hanging down vertically
and they had a box-cutter knife
and slit holes in the tarp,
and these holes become like portals
that allow extraterrestrials to get in.
I think that Hubbard
and Parsons dabbled in things
that they shouldn't have dabbled with.
There are a lot of experts
out there that think
that demonic forces
are indeed extraterrestrials.
So who knows what the two
of them mixed and conjured up?
But there was always talk
that the two of them
were big into UFOs and
very strange things like that.
And they may have opened up a doorway,
a portal to get all these things through.
Is it possible that the
modern-day UFO phenomenon
is connected to rituals
that were conducted
to summon otherworldly beings?
Could this be evidence
that dark forces really are
of an extraterrestrial nature,
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
recent studies that show
positive and negative energy
can, in fact, alter our physical world.
Tokyo, Japan.
1999.
Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto
publishes findings claiming
that human thoughts, words,
and feelings have a direct
effect on water molecules.
Emoto and his team subjected
samples of water
to numerous types of positive
and negative stimuli,
such as applying labels to the samples
and addressing them verbally.
They then flash-froze the samples
to capture the structural
formation of ice crystals.
Using high-speed photography,
the team found observable differences
in the crystal formations
when subjected to destructive thoughts
compared to thoughts of love
and appreciation.
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that these findings
may have profound implications
not only regarding the existence
of good and evil
but also on our relationship
to extraterrestrial entities.
There could be parasitic
entities in the spirit plane
that can feed off of negative energy
and actually harness that energy
and use it as a food supply.
When we give them our energy
through sending a concentrated
focus towards them
that they then have more ability
to project into our reality.
It's possible that right now on Earth
we are actually seeing a battle
between negative
and positive extraterrestrials
who are working behind the scenes
in a battle for control
over humanity's future.
Do the observable effects
of positive and negative energies
on the structure
of water molecules provide proof
that dark forces exist?
If so, could the escalating violence
occurring in our world today
have a more profound origin
than we realize?
There are those who believe
the answer is yes
and that humans
may have the power to stop it.
You can't really have the forces
of light without forces of dark.
And every individual has to
make that choice themselves
of whether they're going to go
to the dark side of the force
or the light side of the force.
You have the power of good
and the power of evil.
They are looking for recruits
to help each of them to conquer the other.
So maybe the powers have times
of ascendancy
and they have times of failure.
And so we're left wondering:
who is going to win?
According to the biblical stories
the Apocalypse of John, right,
the Book of Revelation
if you could peel behind and look
and see what's really going on
in the heavenly realm,
then you could see
that there are forces at play
and that what we're seeing on this earth
is just the-the physical manifestation
of an otherworldly battle that's going on.
When we think about this
struggle between light and dark,
this is the whole end times
scenario of Christian
or Judeo-Christian prophecy
that at the end times
we will see a final battle
between the sons of light
and the sons of darkness,
with humankind as the swords
in that battle.
The biblical prophecy is clear:
we will reintegrate with
our universal destiny,
a restoration
of our bonds of heaven and earth,
which mean an extraterrestrial
and terrestrial bond and union.
And when the Messiah comes,
he comes with an army.
It comes from a place off this earth,
most believe from out of the skies.
Well, what would we call an invading
army from out of the skies?
We're not going to call it
an army of angels.
We're going to call it
an extraterrestrial invasion.
Are human beings actually soldiers
in a cosmic war between good and evil?
And if so, have our experiences
with the light and dark forces
helped to prepare us for the final battle,
one that will reunite us
with our extraterrestrial creators?
Or will we find ourselves fighting
against them?
