Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 10, Episode 8 - Circles from the Sky - full transcript
Over 10,000 crop circles have been reported worldwide, appearing in 50 different countries, and nearly every continent on Earth. These strange designs pressed into crop fields range from simple circles to elaborate pictograms thousand of feet long. The phenomenon has been associated with scientific anomalies, strange lights, and even UFO activity.
Bizarre shapes...
What in the world is making
these patterns and why?
Intricate designs...
Scientists are now saying
that this geometry
is the secret keys
to the higher dimensions.
And a mysterious method
that defies explanation.
Everyone was scratching their heads
and saying, "What's going on here?"
Are the patterns appearing
on fields across the globe
part of an elaborate hoax?
Or could there really be
an otherworldly connection?
These are messages from elsewhere.
And elsewhere, in my opinion,
means of extraterrestrial origin.
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...
could they really be communicating
using circles from the sky?

Circles from the Sky
Original Air Date on September 18, 2015
Turin, Italy.
June 23, 2015.
Pilot Silvio Sirotto reports
that while flying over a wheat field
directly in the flight path
of the local airport,
he spotted a mysterious design
seemingly pressed into the crops.
Investigators are baffled
as to how the design could have been created
without any detection
in such a high-traffic area.
To date, it remains a mystery,
but it is only one of the latest examples
in a strange phenomenon
that has been going on for decades,
and possibly much, much longer.
Over 10,000 crop formations
have been found worldwide.
They have been reported
in over 50 different countries
and on nearly every continent on Earth.
Commonly known as crop circles,
the formations are designs
pressed down into fields.
They range from small circles
to elaborate pictograms
hundreds of feet across.
They have been found in various crops,
including wheat, barley,
oilseed rape and corn.
And they've been making worldwide headlines
since the mid-1960s.
One of the first, in 1966,
it was Tully, Queensland, Australia.
A farmer heard a buzzing sound
and literally saw this big, round,
maybe 30-feet-diameter
craft, disk, rising up
out of what essentially
was marshy, reedy ground.
And it goes up and disappears,
and left behind the circle.
Beginning in Tully, Australia,
there seems to be a kind of a smattering
of these circular impressions,
relatively simple,
but in several locations around the world.
1960s, '70s, '80s,
liberal sprinkling of circles,
1990 bang, and the whole
thing goes planet-wide.
By 1991,
over 2,500 formations had been reported
across 23 different countries.
As an investigative reporter
who began about three decades ago,
trying to get to the bottom
of this phenomena,
I remember getting these photographs
and reading that there were no footprints.
No one was walking around,
because if they had,
we would have seen broken stalks.
Everybody was raising this question:
"What in the world is making
these patterns and why?"
They had scientists and
meteorologists in the field,
and it was really fascinating
and people really got into it
in a big, big way.
Nobody knew what to make of this.
Politicians, scientists, the UFO community
everyone was scratching their heads
and saying, "What's going
on here? What is this?"
Some people thought
that it was extraterrestrial.
Others thought it was
a meteorological phenomenon
of some sort.
And other people said,
"Well, it must be a hoax."
On September 9, 1991,
two retirees from the English countryside,
Doug Bower and Dave Chorley,
came forward with an admission
that they were behind the crop formations.
Using nothing more than a board and strings,
the hoaxers demonstrated their technique
for pressing down the crop to form a design.
I won't forget when the news came
that there were these two men
saying they were responsible
for all the crop formations.
And immediately,
because of all the work
that I had been doing was,
well, they weren't traveling to 23 nations,
Number one.
Number two, they were off-kilter.
They were not geometric.
And for those of us who have
been in real crop formations,
there's just no comparison.
Doug and Dave,
"the men that conned the world."
That was the headline
in our local newspaper here.
And these two men came forward
and said, "We done it all.
We made all the crop circles
since 1976, everything."
Most people pretty much swallowed that,
hook, line and sinker.
There are some theories
that, uh, Doug and Dave
were just government stooges,
that, uh, the plan
was to bring the whole subject
into disrepute,
to discredit it,
and to-to make the media just go away.
But could it be that there is more
to the crop circle phenomenon
than a modern-day hoax
orchestrated by pranksters?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and suggest
that crop formations are not, in fact,
a modern phenomenon at all,
but can be traced back hundreds of years.
There is a report from the year 815,
of the Bishop of Lyon,
a warning, notifying another priest
who was going to take over his parish
that the locals are involved in something
he considers devil worship.
They're gathering seeds in a
flattened circle of the crops
and using them in fertility rituals.
There are some very strange
accounts in the 1600s.
One of the original scientists,
Dr. Robert Plot,
reported seeing crop circles
appearing on his land
in Staffordshire, England.
And he actually drew diagrams
of what he was seeing.
We also have the infamous
legend, in the 1600s,
of the so-called "mowing-devil."
One of the first crop circles ever reported
was a mowing-devil that was in England
going through the wheat fields.
There's actually a woodcut that shows what,
for all intents and purposes,
looks like a crop circle,
but has this black creature
that just runs around with the horns.
So the idea was, in folklore,
that something or someone
laid down this formation
in a wheat field.
And that goes back all the way to 1678.
Some even have suggested
that there may be a description
of a crop circle in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In the Dead Sea Scrolls
is a cryptic reference to a light
that leaves a mark on the ground.
Interpreters ask: is it possible
that the marks on the land
specifically on the barley and the lentil
are crop circles?
Is it possible that crop circles
have appeared for hundreds,
if not thousands of years?
And if so, could it be that
while some of these formations
have been exposed as hoaxes,
many others are connected
to otherworldly beings?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by putting a man-made
crop formation to the test.
Wiltshire, England.
This sleepy countryside,
just over 100 miles west of London,
is considered ground zero
for the crop circle phenomenon.
It is also home to
many mysterious ancient sites,
including Stonehenge,
Avebury,
Silbury Hill
and West Kennet Long Barrow.
One could quite reasonably
and easy make the connection
that these crop circles
are happening in these places
because these places are markings
of certain energetic corridors
or crossover points or very special places
that were used by people
in the past for presumably
metaphysical reasons
meditating, praying, ritual, whatever.
Today, ancient astronaut
theorist and explorer,
Giorgio Tsoukalos
is in Wiltshire to meet up with three men
who have a unique perspective
on crop formations.
Hi.
- Giorgio.
John? Good to meet you.
John Lundberg, Rob Irving
and William Russell have
over two decades of experience
creating artistic designs in crops.
So, thanks very much
for meeting me out here.
Giorgio will challenge them to recreate
a simple formation that many
crop circle investigators
suggest cannot be perfectly reproduced.
In 2005, overnight,
the Golden Ball formation was created.
This is what it looks like right here.
You might be familiar with this one.
- Got the different circles.
- How big is it?
- 96 feet in diameter.
- Okay.
So it's not small,
it's fairly large, and, um,
I was wondering if you could recreate this.
We can certainly try, yeah.
- Right?
Now, this was done overnight,
so the most you'll have
is about five to seven hours.
- Okay.
And you'll be using these boards?
Yeah, this is called a stalk stomper,
which is the tool that we use
for flattening the crop.
All right, well, shall we get started?
- Sure.
- Okay. Let's do it.
Well, you're starting on the ring.
John Lundberg and his team
begin by measuring out
the design using a tape measure.
This one, here.
After determining
where to place the edges,
they use their wooden stalk
stompers to shuffle their way
across the upright stems
to create the desired pattern.
Keep going.
The team is able to
complete the challenge
within the allotted time.
Well, that was quick.
- Pretty good, huh?
Really good stuff.
All right.
- Thanks.
So, did you guys encounter
any problems or any challenges?
I think the only problem is-is the
crop is a bit kind of tangly.
But I-I'm happy with it. I think
it should look great from the air.
Some more altitude.
Keep going.
Going up, going up.
In order to get a side-by-side
comparison of the designs,
Giorgio enlists the assistance
of a local drone team.
They send a camera up over the field.
Climb a bit.
And hold there.
Oh, wow.
I mean, it's a really nice recreation.
There's no question about it.
Pretty identical.
- Yeah.
Can't tell the difference really.
- They're really impressive.
While the recreation of the
Golden Ball Hill formation
looks very similar to the
original from the air,
crop circle researchers suggest
that what made the formation truly unique
was not how it appeared from above,
but how it appeared on the ground.
So to examine the recreation up close,
Giorgio meets up
with crop circle investigator
Charles Mallet.
Hi, Charles.
Hey, Giorgio.
- Pleasure to meet you.
How are you?
- I'm okay.
You're good?
Come to the center here.
Mallet has been researching
the crop circle phenomenon since the 1990s,
and was one of the first
investigators on the ground
of the Golden Ball Hill pattern
when it appeared in 2005.
What are the telltale signs
that leads you to believe that something
is real or man-made,
or real, whatever that means.
I think we have to get over the notion
that people can't make shapes in fields.
People can make really
impressive shapes in fields.
So we have to get down there and
look at the physical evidence
before we start taking it further.
When I stand in this formation,
I look at the carpet of flowers
across the top of these plants,
and then I look on the ground.
I see two separate situations
undamaged and damaged,
because they used a physical device,
and it's men stepping with planks of wood.
So it's crush, crush, crush, crush.
And it produces a really
clear pattern of damage.
So there's a lot of the flowers
have just been wiped off.
And then if we were able to...
- Sure.
To maybe come and look
right down into the detail.
We need to just look at
some, uh, stems here.
Here's a good example of what happens
to oilseed rape plants
when they're physically
pushed to the ground.
Huge, ugly kink, very mechanical.
Down here, there's bruising
and scraping down the stems.
What you're suggesting
or what you're telling me
is that in a non-man-made, uh, scenario,
the stalks would not be broken like this.
Absolutely.
Can you show me some of those pictures
that you brought to see the comparison?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Great.
These are from taken from the original
2005 formation here.
This is what I would expect
to see in a real crop circle.
Incredibly, none of the flower heads
on the original 2005
Golden Ball Hill formation
were damaged or destroyed.
And the seamless lay of flowers suggests
that it was not mechanically
produced using boards
and shuffling over the stalks.
In the original 2005 formation,
there's nothing physical, nothing local,
nothing mechanical made this circle.
That really opens the door
to so many possibilities.
And the honest answer is:
we do not know where these circles
are coming from, the real ones.
If the Golden Ball Hill formation
was not made with boards,
then how was it created?
And by whom?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the intriguing evidence
left behind at the scene.
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
At the height of the crop circle
phenomenon in the 1990s,
former University of Michigan
research physicist.
W.C. Levengood and his team
at BLT Research
began scientifically analyzing samples
from various crop formations
found throughout the world.
The BLT team performed many different tests,
from simple inspection under a microscope,
chemical analyses of the soils
and the plants,
germination tests, uh, node
length measurements and so on.
They produced, uh, many, many lab reports
and a couple scientific papers as well
in which they explained what they found.
We found that there are
two scientifically-documented,
all-over-the-world changes.
The first is the apical node elongation.
Most crops have four or even five nodes,
and they are the knuckle-like
protuberances
that are found along the plant stem
all the way down to the ground.
The apical node
is the very first node
beneath the seed head,
and that node becomes elongated, stretched,
as compared to the control nodes
in the rest of the field.
Now, the node elongation can be
a range actually between, say, 45%
and over 200% elongation.
The second visible plant change
that is well tested
are the expulsion cavities,
holes blown out at the lower stem nodes,
usually the second but sometimes
also the third and fourth nodes.
And literally, they're holes
blown out at the nodes.
Best I can tell,
these visible changes
are beyond the capability
of humans at this point in time.
This is indicative
of some kind of intense heat
that has hit the stalk
and actually physically changed it.
Who or what would have done this?
Could the physical anomalies
found within some crop circles
be evidence that they were created
with advanced technology?
And, if so, what might this technology be?
Pleasure to meet you.
In January of 2000,
using his own data
as well as data collected by BLT Research,
Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff
published a scientific paper
suggesting that the formations
might be created
by an unknown electromagnetic energy source.
So you've actually done scientific analysis
on some of those formations.
So what were some of your conclusions?
The hypothesis is that
somehow electromagnetic energy
is involved in the creation
of these crop circles,
and that somehow this energy
causes node elongation.
So the nodes in the stems get longer.
And the more energy,
the longer the nodes are.
And that is very interesting,
because all you need to do is
take a cross section
across a circle, like this,
and measure the node length
in each of these positions.
And actually, this is what you see.
This is in... at the perimeter.
See these nodes, these dark areas?
This is somewhere halfway,
and that's in the center.
So, you see, there is a huge
difference in node length.
I mean, it's a hu...
I mean, this is fascinating;
this is incredible.
- And it's not just a little bit.
- Okay.
It's a difference in size
between a horse and an elephant.
It's-it's very, very significant, so
you can actually make a graph of this.
So this is the node length at the edge,
when the node length is
about two millimeters.
So this is in the center of the circle,
and the node length is,
like, 4.2 millimeters.
And going towards the perimeter,
that's about two millimeters.
You see, there is a massive
change in node length.
They're actually more than twice as long.
Yeah, I mean, what, uh, what would do this?
That's, uh, quite weird.
Well, in this case,
it was very interesting,
because this crop circle, uh,
actually had an eyewitness
when it was... when it formed.
And the eyewitness says,
"I saw a ball of light,
and it was standing still."
And that is very important, because
when a ball of light is standing still,
we can very accurately predict
how the energy will be
distributed on the ground.
And we know that there will be
more energy in the center.
And the more energy,
the longer the nodes are.
And we can also predict what
the node length would have been.
So you can check your hypothesis.
And in this case, it was a perfect match.
Amazing, isn't it?
Now, this is where I get the goose bumps,
because clearly there is something there,
and no one denies that
many of them are man-made,
but then there is something bizarre.
Do you have any... idea
how, or who, might be behind it?
That's a very difficult question.
What I can say about that is...
I don't know.
So it is something that remains
a giant question mark.
Absolutely, yes.
I find it very disheartening in a weird way
that something as open as crop formations
are not studied closer
by the scientific community,
that they are just offhandedly dismissed
as flat-out hoaxes from the get-go,
when there is concise scientific evidence
that not every crop circle is man-made.
Maybe the origin is extraterrestrial.
Does this peer-reviewed
scientific research provide evidence
that not all crop formations
are the product of hoaxers?
And, if so, could there be an otherworldly,
perhaps extraterrestrial, origin to them?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by exploring eyewitness accounts
of the crop circle phenomenon.
Salisbury, England.
July 7, 2007.
Local paralegal and crop circle
researcher Gary King
spends the night camping out on Knap Hill,
an area known for sightings
of mysterious orbs
and other strange occurrences.
It was the seventh of July 2007,
so because it was
a kind of an auspicious date
the seven-seven-seven
we decided we'd come here.
I came here with my girlfriend to do
a night watch. So we arrived here,
and at about 3:00 in the morning,
we had a big white flash of light,
which completely encompassed the sky.
And about 20 minutes after that, we looked,
and we could see this crop
circle laid out in front of us.
The field it appeared in was this field here
to the right that's yellow now.
It was actually wheat
the year that it occurred,
but they rotate the crops.
And it started from way back
at... near those trees
and then came over the brow of this hill.
It was absolutely enormous.
The crop formation extended 1,033 feet long
and 490 feet wide.
The over two-acre design
contained 150 individual circles
the largest, 164 feet across.
I have no idea what made it.
What I do know though is that people
with boards didn't make this.
Gary King's experience is just one
of many firsthand accounts of designs
that mysteriously appear
in a short period of time.
It is documented that there are
approximately 70 cases
of people having an eyewitness sighting
of the formation of a crop circle
where they are literally
standing there in the crop,
and it just spontaneously forms
in front of them.
There is a loud tweeting sound
in a lot of cases.
And then this sort of
crackling electrostatic charge on the crops.
And then you just watch as
almost like an oriental fan is unrolling,
just... the crops just fold down.
In a matter of three seconds,
it's all finished.
Crop circle researchers cite
that many of these eyewitness accounts
include sightings of strange lights
in and around a formation.
Milk Hill, Wiltshire, England.
1991.
Steve Alexander, a local photographer,
is filming footage of a crop formation
from a neighboring hill,
when he captures a strange metallic light
floating in the field below.
His camera caught sight
of what seemed to be a white orb of light
flying right across this field
right next to a crop circle.
That orb of light, whatever it was,
flew directly over a tractor
working in the next field down.
And later on, that farmer
was contacted, and he said,
"I saw this weird orb of light
about the size of a melon or
something fly over my tractor."
I myself have seen several,
and they are astonishing
in their brightness.
We are dealing with intelligent plasmas
that are sending and receiving information
for another intelligence of unknown origin.
Orbs of light are a commonly associated
phenomenon with crop circles,
and this goes all the way back to the story
of the mowing-devil in 1678.
The sighting of lights is often
associated with these phenomena,
and they do seem to suggest
something we don't understand.
The ghost lights,
the will-o'-the-wisp sightings
represented some force of nature
we had not entirely acknowledged
or given sufficient respect to,
some mystery that we need
to come to grips with.
It could be an actual craft,
or it could potentially be
something like the stylus
from an extraterrestrial hand
that is somewhere far away,
but this light is the projected
form of a technology
being used from the safety
and comfort of space.
We have to imagine an advanced
extraterrestrial race
sending out orbs of light
that are sort of like peepholes
for exploration.
They come to a planet,
they find something interesting,
the peephole opens into a portal,
perhaps through which these
advanced visitors can pass,
or perhaps through which
a human could even enter
and travel to the home planet of the orb.
Is this what a crop circle is?
To me, the proliferation
of wormhole-themed crop circles
tells us that this is
the method of communication
as well as travel
of these advanced visitors.
There is a possibility that we
are dealing with time travelers.
The time travelers are using
the crop formations
to judge the accuracy of their time travel.
So are the crop formations
designed for humans at all?
Just what purpose do crop circles serve?
Are they landing codes for time travelers,
as some crop circle investigators suggest?
Or is it possible
that they serve as a communication medium?
One only meant for us to discover
once we evolved enough
to discern them from the sky.
Winchester, England.
August 15, 2002.
A crop formation bearing the image
of what appears to be a Grey
alien emerges in a wheat field.
At the bottom right corner of the image
is a disk-shaped object
containing what some believe
to be binary code,
a computer language
consisting of ones and zeros.
There was a crop formation
that unmistakably looks like
an extraterrestrial,
the proverbial Grey with the almond eyes
and the triangular-shaped head.
There's also at the bottom, there
seems to be a computer disk
and what looked like binary code.
The message allegedly says,
"Beware the bearers of false
gifts and their broken promises.
"Much pain, but still time.
"There is good out there.
"We oppose deceivers.
Conduit closing."
It was warning humanity
about the deceivers, about dangers.
Just a year prior,
on August 21, 2001,
another formation that contained
binary code appeared
in a wheat field next to the
Chilbolton Radio Observatory.
Researchers are convinced
that the design was a response
to a message that was transmitted into space
by astronomers Frank Drake
and Carl Sagan in 1974.
In November of 1974,
Carl Sagan and Drake at Cornell University
sent out from Arecibo, Puerto Rico,
a signal of binary code about Earth
to whoever in the cosmos
would receive our signal.
The original message contained
binary-encoded information,
including the numbers one through ten,
an image of our DNA strand,
the figure of a human,
and a graphic of the solar system
with the position of Earth highlighted.
It echoed absolutely,
line by line by line.
The DNA did not look like double helix.
It was very bizarre.
And then when you got down,
instead of a six-foot human,
it was this thing that was
maybe a third the height
of the human in Carl Sagan,
and it was associated
with a strange solar system.
It was a very complex, very
strange, one-of-a-kind pattern.
We'd never seen anything like it before.
In 2004, a mysterious rock
was found near the Roswell crash site
bearing the same image as a crop circle
that was discovered in Chiseldon, England,
on August 2, 1996.
On the Roswell Rock, you have
an almost identical symbol
in England.
To me, it's very fascinating,
because it essentially shows
that they're trying
to somehow communicate with us.
So the idea is that perhaps
some of these crop circles
indeed are messages from elsewhere.
And elsewhere, in my opinion,
means of extraterrestrial origin.
Could it be that some crop formations
serve as a medium for
extraterrestrial communication?
Many crop circle researchers say yes,
and suggest further evidence
of this can be found
by examining the advanced
astronomical, scientific,
and mathematical equations
contained within them.
One formation had everyone baffled,
and people were saying,
"Well, what is this?"
Then a mathematician
had a look at it and said,
"Wait a minute,
that's a representation of pi.
And it's correct
down to ten decimal places."
It's a representation
of pi in a geometric sense.
It's kind of interesting because
the way you get pi out of it
is the lengths of the different
arcs in each segment.
And what happens is
there's these little notches
in the spiral that let you know
you're at the end of an arc.
So you actually have to measure
the arc lengths as you go around,
and their lengths give you the digits of pi.
And there's a little circle
to give you the decimal point.
So it's a really interesting
example of using geometry
as a code for representing
digits and numbers.
It just shows the level of knowledge,
mathematical knowledge, geometric skill
that goes into making these things.
Many of the most famous crop circles
actually derive from fractal patterns.
The Mandelbrot set,
the Julia set.
To make these, you have
to have knowledge of math.
Mathematics is, of course,
the universal language.
If we ever encounter aliens,
they're not gonna speak
English or French or German.
We'll speak and we'll
communicate via mathematics.
Could crop circles as some believe
be an attempt from an alien civilization
to reach out and communicate with us?
There's a consistent
amount of sacred geometry
tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons,
and even more complex geometric patterns.
Many of our best and top
scientists are now saying
that this geometry is the secret keys
to the higher dimensions.
And it's right there in the crops,
as if they're giving us
a trail of bread crumbs,
showing us how to get
to the next level as a planet.
Might crop formations that
contain celestial patterns
and mathematical equations
really have been created
by otherworldly beings
attempting to communicate with humans?
And if extraterrestrial forces
are sending messages to mankind,
why aren't world governments
more interested?
Some insiders say they are,
and suggest that they are
not only interested,
but may even be directly involved.
Avebury, England.
July 2006.
The shadow of a geometric
pattern appears in a field.
The design echoes a crop formation
that was created in the exact same location
12 months prior.
Crop circle researchers
refer to this phenomenon
as a "ghost formation."
The ghost formations
are a really curious aside
to the main crop circle phenomenon.
The following year or even later
in the same year,
there's an impression left in the field.
Even though the original crop circle has
been harvested or cut down in whatever way,
there's a residual effect on the ground.
That, to some people,
seems utterly mysterious.
The altered growth pattern
of the affected crops
has been known to persist
for up to two years after
the initial crop circle appears,
but only on certain formations.
A number of crop circles reappear again.
It seems that it's some effort
to communicate with us,
from extraterrestrials,
by putting these designs
onto the ground over and over again.
And perhaps what they're trying to do
is give us information
that they think we need,
but we just need to decipher it.
Could there really be
a message so important
that the residual design
persists in the crops
for months and even years?
If so, wouldn't the crop circle phenomenon
be more closely monitored
by world governments?
Some crop circle investigators
say yes and suggest
that the U.S. and British
governments currently utilize
satellite technology to secretly photograph
and catalog crop formations.
But others suggest their involvement
may actually run much deeper.
Just as it was British
government policy to downplay
the true interest in UFOs,
so it was the case with crop circles.
If there's an alien message there,
of course government would want that knowledge
and they'd want to keep it for themselves.
The intriguing thing there is,
of course, that
some of the formations
that people are seeing
might actually be made by the government.
Government scientists
would be making the reply
that goes out from us
to the extraterrestrials.
Whether crop formations are the residue
of intelligent plasmas
or extraterrestrials
or a combination of both,
why can't the whole world know
what it is that the governments
know about crop formations and lights?
What would happen if the whole planet knew,
if all humans knew we're not alone?
Is it possible that world governments
are secretly working to uncover messages
encrypted within crop circles,
and are even attempting
to communicate with otherworldly entities
by creating crop circles themselves?
And if these formations
really are messages from extraterrestrials,
just what are they trying to communicate?
Something keeps laying things down
in sequence as if it has
a big picture of how it is
communicating with this planet,
but it is doing so in pieces.
If you looked at the math
and you looked at the warnings,
something champions us, wants us to evolve.
I think that the crop
formations are a calling card
that we are being given,
that is being put underneath our very eyes.
And we really should pay
attention to those messages.
Those are little hints
that are dropped worldwide
that prepare us to change our point of view
that we're not the only ones.
Have extraterrestrials
been using crop circles
to communicate with mankind
throughout our history?
Are these complex designs
pieces of a mathematical puzzle
that, once put together and deciphered,
will reveal the truth about both our origins
and our destiny?
Perhaps we will unlock
the secrets of the universe
not by venturing out deeper into space,
but by understanding the messages
that are being given to us
right here on Earth.

What in the world is making
these patterns and why?
Intricate designs...
Scientists are now saying
that this geometry
is the secret keys
to the higher dimensions.
And a mysterious method
that defies explanation.
Everyone was scratching their heads
and saying, "What's going on here?"
Are the patterns appearing
on fields across the globe
part of an elaborate hoax?
Or could there really be
an otherworldly connection?
These are messages from elsewhere.
And elsewhere, in my opinion,
means of extraterrestrial origin.
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...
could they really be communicating
using circles from the sky?

Circles from the Sky
Original Air Date on September 18, 2015
Turin, Italy.
June 23, 2015.
Pilot Silvio Sirotto reports
that while flying over a wheat field
directly in the flight path
of the local airport,
he spotted a mysterious design
seemingly pressed into the crops.
Investigators are baffled
as to how the design could have been created
without any detection
in such a high-traffic area.
To date, it remains a mystery,
but it is only one of the latest examples
in a strange phenomenon
that has been going on for decades,
and possibly much, much longer.
Over 10,000 crop formations
have been found worldwide.
They have been reported
in over 50 different countries
and on nearly every continent on Earth.
Commonly known as crop circles,
the formations are designs
pressed down into fields.
They range from small circles
to elaborate pictograms
hundreds of feet across.
They have been found in various crops,
including wheat, barley,
oilseed rape and corn.
And they've been making worldwide headlines
since the mid-1960s.
One of the first, in 1966,
it was Tully, Queensland, Australia.
A farmer heard a buzzing sound
and literally saw this big, round,
maybe 30-feet-diameter
craft, disk, rising up
out of what essentially
was marshy, reedy ground.
And it goes up and disappears,
and left behind the circle.
Beginning in Tully, Australia,
there seems to be a kind of a smattering
of these circular impressions,
relatively simple,
but in several locations around the world.
1960s, '70s, '80s,
liberal sprinkling of circles,
1990 bang, and the whole
thing goes planet-wide.
By 1991,
over 2,500 formations had been reported
across 23 different countries.
As an investigative reporter
who began about three decades ago,
trying to get to the bottom
of this phenomena,
I remember getting these photographs
and reading that there were no footprints.
No one was walking around,
because if they had,
we would have seen broken stalks.
Everybody was raising this question:
"What in the world is making
these patterns and why?"
They had scientists and
meteorologists in the field,
and it was really fascinating
and people really got into it
in a big, big way.
Nobody knew what to make of this.
Politicians, scientists, the UFO community
everyone was scratching their heads
and saying, "What's going
on here? What is this?"
Some people thought
that it was extraterrestrial.
Others thought it was
a meteorological phenomenon
of some sort.
And other people said,
"Well, it must be a hoax."
On September 9, 1991,
two retirees from the English countryside,
Doug Bower and Dave Chorley,
came forward with an admission
that they were behind the crop formations.
Using nothing more than a board and strings,
the hoaxers demonstrated their technique
for pressing down the crop to form a design.
I won't forget when the news came
that there were these two men
saying they were responsible
for all the crop formations.
And immediately,
because of all the work
that I had been doing was,
well, they weren't traveling to 23 nations,
Number one.
Number two, they were off-kilter.
They were not geometric.
And for those of us who have
been in real crop formations,
there's just no comparison.
Doug and Dave,
"the men that conned the world."
That was the headline
in our local newspaper here.
And these two men came forward
and said, "We done it all.
We made all the crop circles
since 1976, everything."
Most people pretty much swallowed that,
hook, line and sinker.
There are some theories
that, uh, Doug and Dave
were just government stooges,
that, uh, the plan
was to bring the whole subject
into disrepute,
to discredit it,
and to-to make the media just go away.
But could it be that there is more
to the crop circle phenomenon
than a modern-day hoax
orchestrated by pranksters?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and suggest
that crop formations are not, in fact,
a modern phenomenon at all,
but can be traced back hundreds of years.
There is a report from the year 815,
of the Bishop of Lyon,
a warning, notifying another priest
who was going to take over his parish
that the locals are involved in something
he considers devil worship.
They're gathering seeds in a
flattened circle of the crops
and using them in fertility rituals.
There are some very strange
accounts in the 1600s.
One of the original scientists,
Dr. Robert Plot,
reported seeing crop circles
appearing on his land
in Staffordshire, England.
And he actually drew diagrams
of what he was seeing.
We also have the infamous
legend, in the 1600s,
of the so-called "mowing-devil."
One of the first crop circles ever reported
was a mowing-devil that was in England
going through the wheat fields.
There's actually a woodcut that shows what,
for all intents and purposes,
looks like a crop circle,
but has this black creature
that just runs around with the horns.
So the idea was, in folklore,
that something or someone
laid down this formation
in a wheat field.
And that goes back all the way to 1678.
Some even have suggested
that there may be a description
of a crop circle in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In the Dead Sea Scrolls
is a cryptic reference to a light
that leaves a mark on the ground.
Interpreters ask: is it possible
that the marks on the land
specifically on the barley and the lentil
are crop circles?
Is it possible that crop circles
have appeared for hundreds,
if not thousands of years?
And if so, could it be that
while some of these formations
have been exposed as hoaxes,
many others are connected
to otherworldly beings?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by putting a man-made
crop formation to the test.
Wiltshire, England.
This sleepy countryside,
just over 100 miles west of London,
is considered ground zero
for the crop circle phenomenon.
It is also home to
many mysterious ancient sites,
including Stonehenge,
Avebury,
Silbury Hill
and West Kennet Long Barrow.
One could quite reasonably
and easy make the connection
that these crop circles
are happening in these places
because these places are markings
of certain energetic corridors
or crossover points or very special places
that were used by people
in the past for presumably
metaphysical reasons
meditating, praying, ritual, whatever.
Today, ancient astronaut
theorist and explorer,
Giorgio Tsoukalos
is in Wiltshire to meet up with three men
who have a unique perspective
on crop formations.
Hi.
- Giorgio.
John? Good to meet you.
John Lundberg, Rob Irving
and William Russell have
over two decades of experience
creating artistic designs in crops.
So, thanks very much
for meeting me out here.
Giorgio will challenge them to recreate
a simple formation that many
crop circle investigators
suggest cannot be perfectly reproduced.
In 2005, overnight,
the Golden Ball formation was created.
This is what it looks like right here.
You might be familiar with this one.
- Got the different circles.
- How big is it?
- 96 feet in diameter.
- Okay.
So it's not small,
it's fairly large, and, um,
I was wondering if you could recreate this.
We can certainly try, yeah.
- Right?
Now, this was done overnight,
so the most you'll have
is about five to seven hours.
- Okay.
And you'll be using these boards?
Yeah, this is called a stalk stomper,
which is the tool that we use
for flattening the crop.
All right, well, shall we get started?
- Sure.
- Okay. Let's do it.
Well, you're starting on the ring.
John Lundberg and his team
begin by measuring out
the design using a tape measure.
This one, here.
After determining
where to place the edges,
they use their wooden stalk
stompers to shuffle their way
across the upright stems
to create the desired pattern.
Keep going.
The team is able to
complete the challenge
within the allotted time.
Well, that was quick.
- Pretty good, huh?
Really good stuff.
All right.
- Thanks.
So, did you guys encounter
any problems or any challenges?
I think the only problem is-is the
crop is a bit kind of tangly.
But I-I'm happy with it. I think
it should look great from the air.
Some more altitude.
Keep going.
Going up, going up.
In order to get a side-by-side
comparison of the designs,
Giorgio enlists the assistance
of a local drone team.
They send a camera up over the field.
Climb a bit.
And hold there.
Oh, wow.
I mean, it's a really nice recreation.
There's no question about it.
Pretty identical.
- Yeah.
Can't tell the difference really.
- They're really impressive.
While the recreation of the
Golden Ball Hill formation
looks very similar to the
original from the air,
crop circle researchers suggest
that what made the formation truly unique
was not how it appeared from above,
but how it appeared on the ground.
So to examine the recreation up close,
Giorgio meets up
with crop circle investigator
Charles Mallet.
Hi, Charles.
Hey, Giorgio.
- Pleasure to meet you.
How are you?
- I'm okay.
You're good?
Come to the center here.
Mallet has been researching
the crop circle phenomenon since the 1990s,
and was one of the first
investigators on the ground
of the Golden Ball Hill pattern
when it appeared in 2005.
What are the telltale signs
that leads you to believe that something
is real or man-made,
or real, whatever that means.
I think we have to get over the notion
that people can't make shapes in fields.
People can make really
impressive shapes in fields.
So we have to get down there and
look at the physical evidence
before we start taking it further.
When I stand in this formation,
I look at the carpet of flowers
across the top of these plants,
and then I look on the ground.
I see two separate situations
undamaged and damaged,
because they used a physical device,
and it's men stepping with planks of wood.
So it's crush, crush, crush, crush.
And it produces a really
clear pattern of damage.
So there's a lot of the flowers
have just been wiped off.
And then if we were able to...
- Sure.
To maybe come and look
right down into the detail.
We need to just look at
some, uh, stems here.
Here's a good example of what happens
to oilseed rape plants
when they're physically
pushed to the ground.
Huge, ugly kink, very mechanical.
Down here, there's bruising
and scraping down the stems.
What you're suggesting
or what you're telling me
is that in a non-man-made, uh, scenario,
the stalks would not be broken like this.
Absolutely.
Can you show me some of those pictures
that you brought to see the comparison?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Great.
These are from taken from the original
2005 formation here.
This is what I would expect
to see in a real crop circle.
Incredibly, none of the flower heads
on the original 2005
Golden Ball Hill formation
were damaged or destroyed.
And the seamless lay of flowers suggests
that it was not mechanically
produced using boards
and shuffling over the stalks.
In the original 2005 formation,
there's nothing physical, nothing local,
nothing mechanical made this circle.
That really opens the door
to so many possibilities.
And the honest answer is:
we do not know where these circles
are coming from, the real ones.
If the Golden Ball Hill formation
was not made with boards,
then how was it created?
And by whom?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the intriguing evidence
left behind at the scene.
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
At the height of the crop circle
phenomenon in the 1990s,
former University of Michigan
research physicist.
W.C. Levengood and his team
at BLT Research
began scientifically analyzing samples
from various crop formations
found throughout the world.
The BLT team performed many different tests,
from simple inspection under a microscope,
chemical analyses of the soils
and the plants,
germination tests, uh, node
length measurements and so on.
They produced, uh, many, many lab reports
and a couple scientific papers as well
in which they explained what they found.
We found that there are
two scientifically-documented,
all-over-the-world changes.
The first is the apical node elongation.
Most crops have four or even five nodes,
and they are the knuckle-like
protuberances
that are found along the plant stem
all the way down to the ground.
The apical node
is the very first node
beneath the seed head,
and that node becomes elongated, stretched,
as compared to the control nodes
in the rest of the field.
Now, the node elongation can be
a range actually between, say, 45%
and over 200% elongation.
The second visible plant change
that is well tested
are the expulsion cavities,
holes blown out at the lower stem nodes,
usually the second but sometimes
also the third and fourth nodes.
And literally, they're holes
blown out at the nodes.
Best I can tell,
these visible changes
are beyond the capability
of humans at this point in time.
This is indicative
of some kind of intense heat
that has hit the stalk
and actually physically changed it.
Who or what would have done this?
Could the physical anomalies
found within some crop circles
be evidence that they were created
with advanced technology?
And, if so, what might this technology be?
Pleasure to meet you.
In January of 2000,
using his own data
as well as data collected by BLT Research,
Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff
published a scientific paper
suggesting that the formations
might be created
by an unknown electromagnetic energy source.
So you've actually done scientific analysis
on some of those formations.
So what were some of your conclusions?
The hypothesis is that
somehow electromagnetic energy
is involved in the creation
of these crop circles,
and that somehow this energy
causes node elongation.
So the nodes in the stems get longer.
And the more energy,
the longer the nodes are.
And that is very interesting,
because all you need to do is
take a cross section
across a circle, like this,
and measure the node length
in each of these positions.
And actually, this is what you see.
This is in... at the perimeter.
See these nodes, these dark areas?
This is somewhere halfway,
and that's in the center.
So, you see, there is a huge
difference in node length.
I mean, it's a hu...
I mean, this is fascinating;
this is incredible.
- And it's not just a little bit.
- Okay.
It's a difference in size
between a horse and an elephant.
It's-it's very, very significant, so
you can actually make a graph of this.
So this is the node length at the edge,
when the node length is
about two millimeters.
So this is in the center of the circle,
and the node length is,
like, 4.2 millimeters.
And going towards the perimeter,
that's about two millimeters.
You see, there is a massive
change in node length.
They're actually more than twice as long.
Yeah, I mean, what, uh, what would do this?
That's, uh, quite weird.
Well, in this case,
it was very interesting,
because this crop circle, uh,
actually had an eyewitness
when it was... when it formed.
And the eyewitness says,
"I saw a ball of light,
and it was standing still."
And that is very important, because
when a ball of light is standing still,
we can very accurately predict
how the energy will be
distributed on the ground.
And we know that there will be
more energy in the center.
And the more energy,
the longer the nodes are.
And we can also predict what
the node length would have been.
So you can check your hypothesis.
And in this case, it was a perfect match.
Amazing, isn't it?
Now, this is where I get the goose bumps,
because clearly there is something there,
and no one denies that
many of them are man-made,
but then there is something bizarre.
Do you have any... idea
how, or who, might be behind it?
That's a very difficult question.
What I can say about that is...
I don't know.
So it is something that remains
a giant question mark.
Absolutely, yes.
I find it very disheartening in a weird way
that something as open as crop formations
are not studied closer
by the scientific community,
that they are just offhandedly dismissed
as flat-out hoaxes from the get-go,
when there is concise scientific evidence
that not every crop circle is man-made.
Maybe the origin is extraterrestrial.
Does this peer-reviewed
scientific research provide evidence
that not all crop formations
are the product of hoaxers?
And, if so, could there be an otherworldly,
perhaps extraterrestrial, origin to them?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by exploring eyewitness accounts
of the crop circle phenomenon.
Salisbury, England.
July 7, 2007.
Local paralegal and crop circle
researcher Gary King
spends the night camping out on Knap Hill,
an area known for sightings
of mysterious orbs
and other strange occurrences.
It was the seventh of July 2007,
so because it was
a kind of an auspicious date
the seven-seven-seven
we decided we'd come here.
I came here with my girlfriend to do
a night watch. So we arrived here,
and at about 3:00 in the morning,
we had a big white flash of light,
which completely encompassed the sky.
And about 20 minutes after that, we looked,
and we could see this crop
circle laid out in front of us.
The field it appeared in was this field here
to the right that's yellow now.
It was actually wheat
the year that it occurred,
but they rotate the crops.
And it started from way back
at... near those trees
and then came over the brow of this hill.
It was absolutely enormous.
The crop formation extended 1,033 feet long
and 490 feet wide.
The over two-acre design
contained 150 individual circles
the largest, 164 feet across.
I have no idea what made it.
What I do know though is that people
with boards didn't make this.
Gary King's experience is just one
of many firsthand accounts of designs
that mysteriously appear
in a short period of time.
It is documented that there are
approximately 70 cases
of people having an eyewitness sighting
of the formation of a crop circle
where they are literally
standing there in the crop,
and it just spontaneously forms
in front of them.
There is a loud tweeting sound
in a lot of cases.
And then this sort of
crackling electrostatic charge on the crops.
And then you just watch as
almost like an oriental fan is unrolling,
just... the crops just fold down.
In a matter of three seconds,
it's all finished.
Crop circle researchers cite
that many of these eyewitness accounts
include sightings of strange lights
in and around a formation.
Milk Hill, Wiltshire, England.
1991.
Steve Alexander, a local photographer,
is filming footage of a crop formation
from a neighboring hill,
when he captures a strange metallic light
floating in the field below.
His camera caught sight
of what seemed to be a white orb of light
flying right across this field
right next to a crop circle.
That orb of light, whatever it was,
flew directly over a tractor
working in the next field down.
And later on, that farmer
was contacted, and he said,
"I saw this weird orb of light
about the size of a melon or
something fly over my tractor."
I myself have seen several,
and they are astonishing
in their brightness.
We are dealing with intelligent plasmas
that are sending and receiving information
for another intelligence of unknown origin.
Orbs of light are a commonly associated
phenomenon with crop circles,
and this goes all the way back to the story
of the mowing-devil in 1678.
The sighting of lights is often
associated with these phenomena,
and they do seem to suggest
something we don't understand.
The ghost lights,
the will-o'-the-wisp sightings
represented some force of nature
we had not entirely acknowledged
or given sufficient respect to,
some mystery that we need
to come to grips with.
It could be an actual craft,
or it could potentially be
something like the stylus
from an extraterrestrial hand
that is somewhere far away,
but this light is the projected
form of a technology
being used from the safety
and comfort of space.
We have to imagine an advanced
extraterrestrial race
sending out orbs of light
that are sort of like peepholes
for exploration.
They come to a planet,
they find something interesting,
the peephole opens into a portal,
perhaps through which these
advanced visitors can pass,
or perhaps through which
a human could even enter
and travel to the home planet of the orb.
Is this what a crop circle is?
To me, the proliferation
of wormhole-themed crop circles
tells us that this is
the method of communication
as well as travel
of these advanced visitors.
There is a possibility that we
are dealing with time travelers.
The time travelers are using
the crop formations
to judge the accuracy of their time travel.
So are the crop formations
designed for humans at all?
Just what purpose do crop circles serve?
Are they landing codes for time travelers,
as some crop circle investigators suggest?
Or is it possible
that they serve as a communication medium?
One only meant for us to discover
once we evolved enough
to discern them from the sky.
Winchester, England.
August 15, 2002.
A crop formation bearing the image
of what appears to be a Grey
alien emerges in a wheat field.
At the bottom right corner of the image
is a disk-shaped object
containing what some believe
to be binary code,
a computer language
consisting of ones and zeros.
There was a crop formation
that unmistakably looks like
an extraterrestrial,
the proverbial Grey with the almond eyes
and the triangular-shaped head.
There's also at the bottom, there
seems to be a computer disk
and what looked like binary code.
The message allegedly says,
"Beware the bearers of false
gifts and their broken promises.
"Much pain, but still time.
"There is good out there.
"We oppose deceivers.
Conduit closing."
It was warning humanity
about the deceivers, about dangers.
Just a year prior,
on August 21, 2001,
another formation that contained
binary code appeared
in a wheat field next to the
Chilbolton Radio Observatory.
Researchers are convinced
that the design was a response
to a message that was transmitted into space
by astronomers Frank Drake
and Carl Sagan in 1974.
In November of 1974,
Carl Sagan and Drake at Cornell University
sent out from Arecibo, Puerto Rico,
a signal of binary code about Earth
to whoever in the cosmos
would receive our signal.
The original message contained
binary-encoded information,
including the numbers one through ten,
an image of our DNA strand,
the figure of a human,
and a graphic of the solar system
with the position of Earth highlighted.
It echoed absolutely,
line by line by line.
The DNA did not look like double helix.
It was very bizarre.
And then when you got down,
instead of a six-foot human,
it was this thing that was
maybe a third the height
of the human in Carl Sagan,
and it was associated
with a strange solar system.
It was a very complex, very
strange, one-of-a-kind pattern.
We'd never seen anything like it before.
In 2004, a mysterious rock
was found near the Roswell crash site
bearing the same image as a crop circle
that was discovered in Chiseldon, England,
on August 2, 1996.
On the Roswell Rock, you have
an almost identical symbol
in England.
To me, it's very fascinating,
because it essentially shows
that they're trying
to somehow communicate with us.
So the idea is that perhaps
some of these crop circles
indeed are messages from elsewhere.
And elsewhere, in my opinion,
means of extraterrestrial origin.
Could it be that some crop formations
serve as a medium for
extraterrestrial communication?
Many crop circle researchers say yes,
and suggest further evidence
of this can be found
by examining the advanced
astronomical, scientific,
and mathematical equations
contained within them.
One formation had everyone baffled,
and people were saying,
"Well, what is this?"
Then a mathematician
had a look at it and said,
"Wait a minute,
that's a representation of pi.
And it's correct
down to ten decimal places."
It's a representation
of pi in a geometric sense.
It's kind of interesting because
the way you get pi out of it
is the lengths of the different
arcs in each segment.
And what happens is
there's these little notches
in the spiral that let you know
you're at the end of an arc.
So you actually have to measure
the arc lengths as you go around,
and their lengths give you the digits of pi.
And there's a little circle
to give you the decimal point.
So it's a really interesting
example of using geometry
as a code for representing
digits and numbers.
It just shows the level of knowledge,
mathematical knowledge, geometric skill
that goes into making these things.
Many of the most famous crop circles
actually derive from fractal patterns.
The Mandelbrot set,
the Julia set.
To make these, you have
to have knowledge of math.
Mathematics is, of course,
the universal language.
If we ever encounter aliens,
they're not gonna speak
English or French or German.
We'll speak and we'll
communicate via mathematics.
Could crop circles as some believe
be an attempt from an alien civilization
to reach out and communicate with us?
There's a consistent
amount of sacred geometry
tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons,
and even more complex geometric patterns.
Many of our best and top
scientists are now saying
that this geometry is the secret keys
to the higher dimensions.
And it's right there in the crops,
as if they're giving us
a trail of bread crumbs,
showing us how to get
to the next level as a planet.
Might crop formations that
contain celestial patterns
and mathematical equations
really have been created
by otherworldly beings
attempting to communicate with humans?
And if extraterrestrial forces
are sending messages to mankind,
why aren't world governments
more interested?
Some insiders say they are,
and suggest that they are
not only interested,
but may even be directly involved.
Avebury, England.
July 2006.
The shadow of a geometric
pattern appears in a field.
The design echoes a crop formation
that was created in the exact same location
12 months prior.
Crop circle researchers
refer to this phenomenon
as a "ghost formation."
The ghost formations
are a really curious aside
to the main crop circle phenomenon.
The following year or even later
in the same year,
there's an impression left in the field.
Even though the original crop circle has
been harvested or cut down in whatever way,
there's a residual effect on the ground.
That, to some people,
seems utterly mysterious.
The altered growth pattern
of the affected crops
has been known to persist
for up to two years after
the initial crop circle appears,
but only on certain formations.
A number of crop circles reappear again.
It seems that it's some effort
to communicate with us,
from extraterrestrials,
by putting these designs
onto the ground over and over again.
And perhaps what they're trying to do
is give us information
that they think we need,
but we just need to decipher it.
Could there really be
a message so important
that the residual design
persists in the crops
for months and even years?
If so, wouldn't the crop circle phenomenon
be more closely monitored
by world governments?
Some crop circle investigators
say yes and suggest
that the U.S. and British
governments currently utilize
satellite technology to secretly photograph
and catalog crop formations.
But others suggest their involvement
may actually run much deeper.
Just as it was British
government policy to downplay
the true interest in UFOs,
so it was the case with crop circles.
If there's an alien message there,
of course government would want that knowledge
and they'd want to keep it for themselves.
The intriguing thing there is,
of course, that
some of the formations
that people are seeing
might actually be made by the government.
Government scientists
would be making the reply
that goes out from us
to the extraterrestrials.
Whether crop formations are the residue
of intelligent plasmas
or extraterrestrials
or a combination of both,
why can't the whole world know
what it is that the governments
know about crop formations and lights?
What would happen if the whole planet knew,
if all humans knew we're not alone?
Is it possible that world governments
are secretly working to uncover messages
encrypted within crop circles,
and are even attempting
to communicate with otherworldly entities
by creating crop circles themselves?
And if these formations
really are messages from extraterrestrials,
just what are they trying to communicate?
Something keeps laying things down
in sequence as if it has
a big picture of how it is
communicating with this planet,
but it is doing so in pieces.
If you looked at the math
and you looked at the warnings,
something champions us, wants us to evolve.
I think that the crop
formations are a calling card
that we are being given,
that is being put underneath our very eyes.
And we really should pay
attention to those messages.
Those are little hints
that are dropped worldwide
that prepare us to change our point of view
that we're not the only ones.
Have extraterrestrials
been using crop circles
to communicate with mankind
throughout our history?
Are these complex designs
pieces of a mathematical puzzle
that, once put together and deciphered,
will reveal the truth about both our origins
and our destiny?
Perhaps we will unlock
the secrets of the universe
not by venturing out deeper into space,
but by understanding the messages
that are being given to us
right here on Earth.
