Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 10, Episode 9 - The Alien Wars - full transcript
Battles waged in the sky.
The scripture says that Lord Salva's
flying craft crashes to the Earth.
Weapons with unimaginable power.
According to the Sumerian myths,
one planet was completely destroyed.
And evidence of advanced
technology thousands
of years ago.
The structures themselves,
they're replicas of the machines
that our ancestors witnessed.
Accounts of wars among the gods
can be found in ancient legends
throughout the world.
Might these stories really describe
battles between alien beings?
And if so, are they still being waged today?
I think there's no question that there's
a warring faction here on this planet
between extraterrestrials.
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, might Earth have been the site
of alien wars?

Officers with the British
National Hi-Tech Crime Unit
arrest 34-year-old
Scottish systems administrator
Gary McKinnon,
charging him with hacking
into top-secret Pentagon
and NASA computers over a 13-month period.
In response, McKinnon goes public,
claiming he was searching for
government-suppressed information
on UFOs and alternative energy.
But he says that what he found instead
is evidence of an even greater conspiracy.
Without doubt,
the most fascinating discovery
that McKinnon said he made were files
that referenced something
called non-terrestrial officers.
McKinnon talked about how these officers
were supposedly assigned to certain ships
that began with the designation USSS,
suggesting United States Space Ships.
In McKinnon's mind, he uncovered
nothing less than firm proof
of a clandestine, highly classified.
U.S. military space program
that ran alongside
NASA's regular space program.
Might the United States military
really have a secret space program?
But if so, why?
Are they preparing for a space-based war
with other nations
or other species?
According to former Canadian
Defense Minister Paul Hellyer,
U.S. officials are withholding information
about their contact with alien beings.
I was privy to a lot of things
and some of it, for me, very frightening,
very disturbing.
UFOs are real.
The United States government
had been in contact with them.
In September of 2005,
Hellyer made headlines
by publicly announcing
that UFOs do, in fact, exist.
He would later state
that it is not just one race
of alien beings
that is visiting Earth but many,
a claim that is supported
by astronaut Edgar Mitchell,
the sixth person ever to walk on the moon.
When Apollo astronaut
Ed Mitchell came to Toronto
soon after I went public,
we invited him to dinner.
His question to me was,
"How many species do you think there are?"
And I said,
"Somewhere between two and 12."
And he said,
"Yes, that's what I think, too."
What has happened in the intervening years
is that the number keeps growing.
I think that, just like
there's multiple species
here on Earth, there are
multiple species out there.
I've had insiders that
have told me this to my face
that we already have diplomatic
relationships with a variety
of extraterrestrial species and cultures.
I know, for example,
that they have two
or three species of Greys.
We know that there are the praying mantis
and reptilians of various sorts.
And so these are the...
sort of the principal ones
that we talk about, because it's something
you can get your mind around.
Could there really be numerous races
of extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth?
And if so, are they all part
of a unified confederation?
Ancient astronaut theorists say no,
and some government insiders
like Paul Hellyer claim
that these different alien
species have competing agendas,
agendas that are
not always favorable for humans.
I think there is a worrisome situation
that we have to look at, uh, very quickly
and that is whether or not
one or two of them
might covet some of our territory
and might, as a result of that,
want to reduce the human population.
Are they interested in our best interests,
or are they interested
in their best interests?
In which case we should find out
about it before it's too late.
Could the assertions that
extraterrestrial beings are at war
over the control of planet Earth
actually be true?
According to ancient astronaut theorists,
evidence of such a conflict does exist,
and it has been going on
for thousands of years.
Mumbai, India.
January 4, 2015.
The 102nd Indian Science Congress,
along with the University of Mumbai,
hosts a symposium titled.
"Ancient Sciences through Sanskrit."
The Sanskrit texts
that are the focus of the symposium
are Hinduism's most ancient writings.
Included within them along with poetry,
drama, science, and philosophy
are accounts of great wars
between powerful gods who came from the sky.
The great Hindu texts, the Mahabharata,
the Ramayana and the Vedas,
are the ancient wisdom stories
of the continent.
The stories are vivid and gripping.
Many of them have to do
with great conflicts and wars.
The gods are forever in battle
with each other,
using extraordinary equipment.
For the most part, these stories
are, like the epics,
filled with cosmic battles.
Battles between the gods
in the celestial realm dominate
Hindu mythos.
At the Indian Science Congress,
a number of scientists and scholars
make a highly controversial proposal.
That these ancient Hindu texts
dating as far back
as 1700 B.C.
are not simply mythology, but are accounts
of real historical characters and events,
and depict advanced technology
that truly existed thousands of years ago.
Could it be true?
It is a question that has been debated
by both Hindu scholars
and ancient astronaut theorists alike.
The Hindu story of the Mahabharata is loaded
with references to
what seems to be
extraterrestrial technology.
You've got flying vehicles,
you've got weapons that are voice-activated,
you have destructions
of civilizations by what seems
like nuclear detonation.
Hindus believe that
these stories are not simply myth.
They are historical records
because Mahabharata and the
Ramayana are not called myth.
They are actually called "Itihasas."
"Itihasas" meaning history.
For Hindus, these texts stand
as historical records of past kings
and past happenings
that happened long, long, long time ago.
Could the Sanskrit texts
really contain historical accounts
of warfare waged between gods
that were physically present here on Earth,
as many Hindus believe?
And if so, are these same beings in conflict
over the fate of planet Earth even today?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest physical evidence
can be found in India
that proves these accounts
are not simply mythology.
Dwarka, Northwest India. 1983.
Marine archeologist Dr. S.R. Rao begins
a ten-year underwater
exploration just off the coast
of this ancient fishing town,
and what he finds is stunning.
Starting at 20 feet beneath
the surface of the ocean
are sandstone walls,
cobblestone streets, and further evidence
of what once was a prosperous seaport.
At Dwarka, what has been found
so far under the ocean
is incredibly tantalizing.
For instance, there's this huge wall,
estimated about 580 meters long.
So, this is not insignificant,
and this would suggest
that this was a sophisticated dwelling area.
Further underwater excavations
and geological evidence indicate
the ruins are part of a city
that suddenly became submerged
in 1443 B.C.
The discovery of these ruins is
a major archeological find,
but for some, even more significant is
where the ruins were found.
For centuries,
the modern day city of Dwarka
was thought by many Hindus
to be the Dwarka described
in the Mahabharata
as the ancient kingdom of the god Krishna.
According to the text,
during the Kurukshetra war,
a rival to Krishna Lord Salva
attacked Dwarka from a flying chariot,
raining down weapons of mass destruction
that lit up the sky.
He actually flew over Dwarka
using his chariot,
and he started bombarding
the city of Dwarka,
throwing down all kinds of weapons.
Finally, Krishna employs his own
incredible weapon and blows
the thing out of the sky.
It says in the scripture
that Lord Salva's flying craft itself
comes smoldering out of the sky
and crashes to the earth.
This suggests that there was
machines involved in the war,
machines that could fly.
Shortly after the great war,
Krishna is killed,
and the city, this magnificent city
built on land that came out of the sea,
sank back into the ocean again.
It only existed during the time
that Krishna lived there.
Most historians dismiss this war of the gods
as folklore.
But could these underwater ruins be evidence
that the ancient Hindu texts
are based in actual history?
It seems to confirm the ancient
myths, the ancient legends
they have a basis in reality.
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
further evidence can be found
at Mahabalipuram,
an ancient port city located
along India's southeastern coast.
According to ancient stories,
six of seven pagodas
that once stood at Mahabalipuram
were lost due to a great deluge
sent to destroy the city
by the Hindu god Indra.
Just as in the case of Dwarka,
historians and archeologists
dismissed the story
of the missing six temples as myth.
But on December 26, 2004,
a massive tsunami caused water
levels to temporarily drop,
exposing a number
of mysterious-looking formations
along the shoreline.
Upon closer inspection,
they were found to be manmade structures,
and quite possibly the ruins
of the lost pagodas of Mahabalipuram.
Archeologists went diving into this area,
and also found that there was
basically a sunken city there.
And so, this would indicate
that the legends are really
correct about this place.
That, in fact, it was destroyed
in some kind of a flood,
just as the legends said.
If recent archeological finds have proven
that the City of Krishna
and the Seven Pagodas of
Mahabalipuram really did exist,
then might that mean
that the stories of these sites
being attacked
from the sky are true, as well?
Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining the many
ancient stone structures
of Mahabalipuram called "rathas".
All over Mahabalipuram,
there are these tower-like structures
that are called "rathas."
Rathas can be translated with "sky city",
"house of the gods" or even "sky ship".
These are temples,
but simultaneously, they are seen as being
movable vehicles in which gods...
the gods can come to Earth,
can come to the presence of the worshippers.
You'll see that
there are all these little...
They're called "kudo."
There are little windows
that are shaped like horseshoes.
And even in those little windows,
you'll see peering out
the faces of the gods.
In many temples throughout India,
you'll actually see gigantic wheels
added as a motif
on the base of these temples,
just to remind the worshippers
that these are moving chariots.
They were the vimanas of the gods.
The stone structures themselves are replicas
of the machines
that our ancestors witnessed.
Do the ruins off the coast of Dwarka
and Mahabalipuram,
along with the stone temples and carvings
found throughout India
provide a physical record
of the advanced warfare
described in the ancient Hindu texts?
And if so, were these wars
waged between opposing factions
of extraterrestrial beings?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the historical records
of ancient Mesopotamia.
Wittenberg, Germany.
1766.
Astronomer Johann Daniel Titius
proposes that there is a consistent pattern
in the layout of the planets
of our solar system...
except for one highly unusual anomaly.
The distribution of the planets
in the solar system
has always been a puzzle.
They seem to be spaced out
according to some sort of
mathematical arrangement.
But there's a big gap
between Mars and Jupiter,
and when you look there today,
what we see is the asteroids,
lots and lots of rocky fragments.
The discovery led astronomers to conclude
that there had to at one time
have been a planet
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
And what lies within this gap now
is an asteroid belt.
Many scientists speculate
that these asteroids
are the remnants of a world
that was destroyed
thousands of years ago
by some cosmic collision.
But according to ancient astronaut theorist.
Zecharia Sitchin, the destruction
of this lost planet may not have been
due to natural causes.
As evidence, he cited the stories
of the oldest known civilization
the Sumerians.
The Sumerian myths point to the idea
that there was this phenomenal
cosmic battle.
That the gods fought amongst themselves
across the cosmos,
one planet fighting another planet.
And that, in fact, one planet
was completely destroyed
during this cosmic battle.
And as a result of that,
they destroyed their home world
and had to reestablish civilization
on a new planet.
Is it possible that there was once a planet
between Mars and Jupiter
that was home to intelligent life?
And if so, might its destruction
have come as the result of an alien war?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest that a recent NASA discovery
may provide evidence that
the survivors of this conflict
took refuge on a celestial body
located within the asteroid belt.
On February 19, 2015,
NASA's Dawn spacecraft sent back to Earth
images of mysterious bright lights
reflecting off the surface
of a dwarf planet called Ceres.
While some scientists have suggested
that the lights are the result
of something natural,
like an ice field or escaping gas,
higher resolution images
have failed to uncover
the true cause of the reflections.
Four months later, in June,
the Dawn spacecraft captured
even more incredible images
images that reveal what looks like
a three-mile-tall pyramid.
These are possibly
technological structures.
So this brings up the question,
is it possible that these were
built by extraterrestrials?
Instead of looking at the creation myths
from Sumer as mythology,
maybe this is scientific data
that we should be revisiting.
Might further exploration of Ceres
reveal evidence that
it once served as refuge
for the survivors of an alien war?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and claim that according
to the Sumerian texts,
these warring extraterrestrial factions
also took refuge on another planet Earth.
And they propose that stories
found throughout the world
of gods waging battle in the skies
suggest that this
otherworldly conflict continued
once the survivors reached
their new home planet.
All over the world, we're seeing evidence
of these ancient wars that took place.
They took place in Greece,
they took place in Norse mythology,
all throughout Mesoamerican symbolism...
And, consistently, what we're seeing is
some sort of battle
for control over the Earth.
When you look at many
of these ancient tales,
it would seem to be that the gods
are warring amongst themselves over us.
This lends to an intriguing possibility,
that we are the descendants of the winners.
And that there are certain
groups that are pushing for us,
and really rallying,
because, in fact, we are
their direct descendants,
they created us through some
sort of genetic engineering.
And then there's other factions
that want to wipe us off the
face of the Earth completely.
And those wars may still be
being fought, right now.
Are humans the descendents
of a race of alien beings
whose home planet was destroyed
thousands of years ago?
Might the ancient stories of warring gods
really be accounts of separate
extraterrestrial factions
that were fighting for control of the Earth
and may still be fighting for it today?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining accounts of modern-day UFOs
appearing over nuclear facilities?
Sultanabad, Iran.
November, 2004.
The Iranian Air Force
scrambles an F-14 fighter jet
in response to an unknown aircraft
rapidly approaching the IB-40
heavy water nuclear facility.
As they close in,
the pilots report seeing a luminous object
unlike any they have ever encountered:
it is spherical
and emits a green afterburner.
When they try to lock on their missiles,
their radar is disrupted
by large amounts of magnetic radiation
emitting from the craft.
What it was, nobody knew.
It was a definitive UFO
and exited the area at high speed.
What's particularly fascinating
and also intriguing and a bit disturbing
is why the UFO took such
an interest in an atomic plant.
UFOs have also been reported
over nuclear missile bases
in England and America.
In March 1967,
Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana
was the site of one of the most profound,
amazing, and disturbing
UFO encounters of all time.
Security personnel described
seeing bright lights,
flying saucers...
definitive UFOs.
One of the missiles
suddenly went off-line.
And then another and another.
Until the whole flight of missiles
was somehow mysteriously deactivated.
This is highly disturbing,
because it suggests
in the event that UFOs
one day become hostile,
our entire atomic arsenal
may become completely inoperable.
Could it be that extraterrestrial beings
are monitoring nuclear facilities
here on Earth?
But if so, why?
There are two reasons why UFO's
might take an interest
in atomic installations.
One might be that they're concerned
that we're gonna destroy ourselves.
They have a vested interest
in keeping the human race alive.
Or perhaps it's personal reasons
and it's the planet they want.
The other possibility is they're fearful
that we may develop far more
advanced atomic weaponry
and that one day, we will be their rival.
Nuclear weapons might represent
the only technology
humans have which would be capable
of posing a threat to them.
Is it possible the technology of modern man
has advanced to the point that
humans are considered a threat
by alien factions watching over the planet?
Some ancient astronaut theorists
are convinced
that this is the case,
and suggest there is evidence
that extraterrestrials
used similar nuclear weapons
right here on Earth
thousands of years ago.
The Great Sand Sea, North Africa.
In the remote corner of
the eastern Saharan desert,
along the border between Egypt and Libya,
translucent pieces
of a pale yellow-green glass
lay scattered about
for miles in every direction.
This rare silicate compound
called Libyan Desert Glass
can only be formed by exposing the sand
to extreme heat and pressure,
like that generated by a meteor strike.
But there are no visible signs
of a suitable impact crater,
nor can any be found
using satellite imaging technology.
Libyan Desert glass is
thousands of years old
and one of the challenges is figuring
how that glass was formed.
We know you need high heat,
high temperatures, high pressure.
This yellowish green glass looks vitrified.
In fact, it's strikingly similar
to Trinitite, the quartz-like glass
that was created after the atomic explosion
at the Trinity test site in New Mexico.
And one wonders if the Libyan glass
is also a remnant from a nuclear explosion.
It is possible that nuclear
blast would have done it,
but that would assume you had
someone around with nuclear weapons.
Is it possible that the Libyan Desert Glass
was formed by the detonation
of a nuclear weapon
thousands of years ago?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and claim evidence
of such a powerful weapon being used
is written in the texts of ancient Egypt.
In the Ancient Egyptian story,
in which Horace avenges
his brother Osiris's death,
he flies up into the heavens
in a winged disc.
And in the heavens,
he encounters the enemies of Osiris,
and he chases them.
And then Horace releases some
kind of a terrible weapon
that causes his enemies to first go blind,
and then death.
This sounds like some devastating weapon
that Horace unleashed.
Is it possible that it was some kind
of a nuclear weapon
that he unleashed on them?
Could ancient Egypt really have been
the site of nuclear warfare
waged by extraterrestrial beings?
And if so,
might this explain why there have been
so many UFO sightings around
nuclear missile facilities?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say that while it may be unclear
whether extraterrestrials
are concerned about
protecting humans or protecting themselves,
recent NASA findings provide evidence
that planet Earth is being shielded
from above.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Ignition sequence start and lift off!
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
August 30, 2012.
NASA launches two probes into space
in order to study
the Van Allen radiation belts
a pair of donut-shaped particle zones
that surround the Earth.
After two years of collecting data,
NASA scientists discover
a surprising phenomenon.
The Van Allen Belts are operating
as a protective dome shielding the Earth
from dangerous radiation.
Our planet is constantly flooded
with particles from space
that are charged that if they
made it through the atmosphere
would actually be quite
damaging radiation to life.
But because of the Van Allen
belts and the combination
of magnetic fields and charged
particles already there,
incoming charged particles
are sent on curved paths
that safely protect the Earth
and we don't get hit by them.
The Van Allen radiation belt
is one of the most phenomenal
scientific phenomena
to be discovered in recent times.
One of the things
that's so shocking about it
is that it's changing and mutating
as if it's intelligently directed.
The Van Allen belts may be
an advanced technology
that we still don't really understand.
A technology that actually is blocking,
not just natural cosmic particles
from the sun from coming in,
but potentially protecting the Earth
from extraterrestrial weapons that might use
some sort of particle beam technology,
from ever being able
to make its way in here.
Were the Van Allen Belts designed
by extraterrestrial beings
to protect mankind
from other hostile alien factions?
Might there really be
an extraterrestrial defense system
protecting the Earth from attack?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest further evidence
that there is an alien faction
policing Earth's airspace
can be found by examining
modern day UFO crashes.
In 2005, UFO researcher Ryan Wood
published a book chronicling 74 instances
of strange objects
falling from the sky dating back to 1897.
As proof that these crashes took place,
he sites official documents,
eyewitness reports,
and even physical evidence.
Ryan Woods' book Majic Eyes Only,
he lists all of these crashes.
And I think the-the U.S. has
been involved in the retrieval
of the vast majority,
doesn't matter where they are.
We had one crash north of
Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada,
and our regular people that go
and investigate aerial crashes
went out there and were greeted
with American troops,
uh, pointing guns at them.
And they contacted Ottawa and were told,
"Well, let the Americans have it."
We've had some great stories of crashes.
Roswell, Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
They're all over the place.
And you say to yourself,
"How could they crash when they
have that kind of technology?"
You've got to wonder how extraterrestrials
with all of their advanced super technology
would then just crash.
It would seem that something
else is really going on here.
Perhaps we have the
extraterrestrials themselves
battling it out over our skies.
Is it possible that even now warring factions
of extraterrestrial so-called "gods"
are in fact duking it out
over what happens on Earth?
And wars that we see in ancient texts
like the Mahabharata or the Bible
could be still playing out
in our skies as we speak.
Could we really be at the center
of an extraterrestrial conflict
that dates back
to before the dawn
of human civilization on Earth?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and suggest that our survival
may be dependent
upon an ancient defense system
that has existed for thousands
of years right beneath our feet.
Yakutia, Russia.
1854.
In a desolate region of Siberia
known as the "Valley of Death,"
geographer and natural scientist
Richard Karl Maak
leads a scientific expedition of
the Russian Geographical Society
into the Vilyuy River basin.
In his journal, Maak writes
that he and his team
encountered several large
and mysterious metallic objects
embedded in the earth
that the local hunters referred
to as "cauldrons."
Additional accounts were reported
throughout the late 19th
and early 20th centuries.
According to descriptions,
these large metallic domes
that protrude from the ground
each measure between 20
and 30 feet in diameter.
Their existence is also supported
by the legends of the local Yakut people,
who say that over the years
the cauldrons would periodically open up
and send fireballs into the sky.
What happens is that an object
would fly out from under the ground
and intercept an incoming celestial body...
be it a bolide, meteor,
anything that can really damage our planet.
It's like somebody put in
an automatic station
programmed to take out a celestial body
that can cause us tremendous damage
and maybe to end life on Earth.
On June 30, 1908,
a fireball was seen streaking across the sky
over the Tunguska River in rural Siberia,
followed by a massive explosion.
It was the same area where these
mysterious sunken cauldrons
are said to be located.
20 years later,
when the Soviet military examined the area,
they reported finding flattened trees
for miles around the blast site,
but no crater.
A Soviet military officer
came up with an idea,
Alexander Kazantsev, in 1940s,
that this was an alien ship, a UFO
that came into the atmosphere
of our planet and exploded.
Others took up this idea.
But where he came up with it,
it's very hard to say,
because secrecy is all over Russia.
Is it possible the cauldrons serve as a type
of antiaircraft weapon
against space-based threats?
It's possible that the Earth
has been equipped with some sort
of hyper-advanced technology
that is actually keeping us all safe,
and that whoever won these
ancient extraterrestrial wars,
who may in fact be our progenitors,
put that there so that their
offspring would be protected
from whoever their enemies had been
many thousands of years ago.
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that if there is an extraterrestrial
conflict over humanity,
it may be due to the fact
that certain alien factions
consider humans a threat.
They propose that the point
mankind has reached today
is predicted in the same Sanskrit texts
that documented these ancient alien wars.
The ancient Hindu texts tell us
that we are in the very last
of four stages of the planet...
and that stage is called Kali Yuga.
And Kali Yuga is a time of strife
and, uh, terrible activities and of evil.
And it may be that the extraterrestrials
are really monitoring us
to see how we can handle
this very stressful period.
There are conflicts in the skies.
There are different species
with different agendas.
I'm sure that we are regarded
as a potential threat.
They would assume
that eventually we'll
be traveling around the cosmos,
and it's something that must go
through their collective minds:
that these are war-like people,
and consequently we're gonna
have to keep an eye on them.
Now for the first time
I think that the future
of the species is at stake.
That's how deeply I feel.
There are lessons to be learned.
And we have to learn 'em now.
We have to learn 'em very, very quickly.
Is it possible that extraterrestrial beings
have been fighting for
control of planet Earth
for thousands of years?
And could the outcome of this
dispute ultimately be determined
not by alien combatants, but by humans?
Perhaps we are on the verge of reaching
a defining moment in our evolution,
a turning point that will lead
either to our ascension
or our extermination.

In McKinnon's mind, he uncovered

of a clandestine, highly classified.
U.S. military space program
that ran alongside
NASA's regular space program.
Might the United States military
really have a secret space program?
But if so, why?
Are they preparing for a space-based war
with other nations
or other species?
According to former Canadian
Defense Minister Paul Hellyer,
U.S. officials are withholding information
about their contact with alien beings.
I was privy to a lot of things
and some of it, for me, very frightening,
very disturbing.
UFOs are real.
The United States government
had been in contact with them.
In September of 2005,

that it is not just one race
of alien beings
that is visiting Earth but many,
a claim that is supported
by astronaut Edgar Mitchell,
the sixth person ever to walk on the moon.
When Apollo astronaut
Ed Mitchell came to Toronto
soon after I went public,
we invited him to dinner.
His question to me was,
"How many species do you think there are?"
And I said,
"Somewhere between two and 12."
And he said,
"Yes, that's what I think, too."
What has happened in the intervening years
is that the number keeps growing.
I think that, just like
there's multiple species
here on Earth, there are
multiple species out there.
I've had insiders that
have told me this to my face
that we already have diplomatic
relationships with a variety
of extraterrestrial species and cultures.
I know, for example,
that they have two
or three species of Greys.
We know that there are the praying mantis
and reptilians of various sorts.
And so these are the...
sort of the principal ones
that we talk about, because it's something
you can get your mind around.
Could there really be numerous races
of extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth?
And if so, are they all part
of a unified confederation?
Ancient astronaut theorists say no,
and some government insiders
like Paul Hellyer claim
that these different alien
species have competing agendas,
agendas that are
not always favorable for humans.
I think there is a worrisome situation
that we have to look at, uh, very quickly
and that is whether or not
one or two of them
might covet some of our territory
and might, as a result of that,
want to reduce the human population.
Are they interested in our best interests,
or are they interested
in their best interests?
In which case we should find out
about it before it's too late.
Could the assertions that
extraterrestrial beings are at war
over the control of planet Earth
actually be true?
According to ancient astronaut theorists,
evidence of such a conflict does exist,
and it has been going on
for thousands of years.
Mumbai, India.
January 4, 2015.
The 102nd Indian Science Congress,
along with the University of Mumbai,
hosts a symposium titled.
"Ancient Sciences through Sanskrit."
The Sanskrit texts
that are the focus of the symposium
are Hinduism's most ancient writings.
Included within them along with poetry,
drama, science, and philosophy
are accounts of great wars
between powerful gods who came from the sky.
The great Hindu texts, the Mahabharata,
the Ramayana and the Vedas,
are the ancient wisdom stories
of the continent.
The stories are vivid and gripping.
Many of them have to do
with great conflicts and wars.
The gods are forever in battle
with each other,
using extraordinary equipment.
For the most part, these stories
are, like the epics,
filled with cosmic battles.
Battles between the gods
in the celestial realm dominate
Hindu mythos.
At the Indian Science Congress,
a number of scientists and scholars
make a highly controversial proposal.
That these ancient Hindu texts
dating as far back
as 1700 B.C.
are not simply mythology, but are accounts
of real historical characters and events,
and depict advanced technology
that truly existed thousands of years ago.
Could it be true?
It is a question that has been debated
by both Hindu scholars
and ancient astronaut theorists alike.
The Hindu story of the Mahabharata is loaded
with references to
what seems to be
extraterrestrial technology.
You've got flying vehicles,
you've got weapons that are voice-activated,
you have destructions
of civilizations by what seems
like nuclear detonation.
Hindus believe that
these stories are not simply myth.
They are historical records
because Mahabharata and the
Ramayana are not called myth.
They are actually called "Itihasas."
"Itihasas" meaning history.
For Hindus, these texts stand
as historical records of past kings
and past happenings
that happened long, long, long time ago.
Could the Sanskrit texts
really contain historical accounts
of warfare waged between gods
that were physically present here on Earth,
as many Hindus believe?
And if so, are these same beings in conflict
over the fate of planet Earth even today?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest physical evidence
can be found in India
that proves these accounts
are not simply mythology.
Dwarka, Northwest India. 1983.
Marine archeologist Dr. S.R. Rao begins
a ten-year underwater
exploration just off the coast
of this ancient fishing town,
and what he finds is stunning.
Starting at 20 feet beneath
the surface of the ocean
are sandstone walls,
cobblestone streets, and further evidence
of what once was a prosperous seaport.
At Dwarka, what has been found
so far under the ocean
is incredibly tantalizing.
For instance, there's this huge wall,
estimated about 580 meters long.
So, this is not insignificant,
and this would suggest
that this was a sophisticated dwelling area.
Further underwater excavations
and geological evidence indicate
the ruins are part of a city
that suddenly became submerged
in 1443 B.C.
The discovery of these ruins is
a major archeological find,
but for some, even more significant is
where the ruins were found.
For centuries,
the modern day city of Dwarka
was thought by many Hindus
to be the Dwarka described
in the Mahabharata
as the ancient kingdom of the god Krishna.
According to the text,
during the Kurukshetra war,
a rival to Krishna Lord Salva
attacked Dwarka from a flying chariot,
raining down weapons of mass destruction
that lit up the sky.
He actually flew over Dwarka
using his chariot,
and he started bombarding
the city of Dwarka,
throwing down all kinds of weapons.
Finally, Krishna employs his own
incredible weapon and blows
the thing out of the sky.
It says in the scripture
that Lord Salva's flying craft itself
comes smoldering out of the sky
and crashes to the earth.
This suggests that there was
machines involved in the war,
machines that could fly.
Shortly after the great war,
Krishna is killed,
and the city, this magnificent city
built on land that came out of the sea,
sank back into the ocean again.
It only existed during the time
that Krishna lived there.
Most historians dismiss this war of the gods
as folklore.
But could these underwater ruins be evidence
that the ancient Hindu texts
are based in actual history?
It seems to confirm the ancient
myths, the ancient legends
they have a basis in reality.
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
further evidence can be found
at Mahabalipuram,
an ancient port city located
along India's southeastern coast.
According to ancient stories,
six of seven pagodas
that once stood at Mahabalipuram
were lost due to a great deluge
sent to destroy the city
by the Hindu god Indra.
Just as in the case of Dwarka,
historians and archeologists
dismissed the story
of the missing six temples as myth.
But on December 26, 2004,
a massive tsunami caused water
levels to temporarily drop,
exposing a number
of mysterious-looking formations
along the shoreline.
Upon closer inspection,
they were found to be manmade structures,
and quite possibly the ruins
of the lost pagodas of Mahabalipuram.
Archeologists went diving into this area,
and also found that there was
basically a sunken city there.
And so, this would indicate
that the legends are really
correct about this place.
That, in fact, it was destroyed
in some kind of a flood,
just as the legends said.
If recent archeological finds have proven
that the City of Krishna
and the Seven Pagodas of
Mahabalipuram really did exist,
then might that mean
that the stories of these sites
being attacked
from the sky are true, as well?
Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining the many
ancient stone structures
of Mahabalipuram called "rathas".
All over Mahabalipuram,
there are these tower-like structures
that are called "rathas."
Rathas can be translated with "sky city",
"house of the gods" or even "sky ship".
These are temples,
but simultaneously, they are seen as being
movable vehicles in which gods...
the gods can come to Earth,
can come to the presence of the worshippers.
You'll see that
there are all these little...
They're called "kudo."
There are little windows
that are shaped like horseshoes.
And even in those little windows,
you'll see peering out
the faces of the gods.
In many temples throughout India,
you'll actually see gigantic wheels
added as a motif
on the base of these temples,
just to remind the worshippers
that these are moving chariots.
They were the vimanas of the gods.
The stone structures themselves are replicas
of the machines
that our ancestors witnessed.
Do the ruins off the coast of Dwarka
and Mahabalipuram,
along with the stone temples and carvings
found throughout India
provide a physical record
of the advanced warfare
described in the ancient Hindu texts?
And if so, were these wars
waged between opposing factions
of extraterrestrial beings?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the historical records
of ancient Mesopotamia.
Wittenberg, Germany.
1766.
Astronomer Johann Daniel Titius
proposes that there is a consistent pattern
in the layout of the planets
of our solar system...
except for one highly unusual anomaly.
The distribution of the planets
in the solar system
has always been a puzzle.
They seem to be spaced out
according to some sort of
mathematical arrangement.
But there's a big gap
between Mars and Jupiter,
and when you look there today,
what we see is the asteroids,
lots and lots of rocky fragments.
The discovery led astronomers to conclude
that there had to at one time
have been a planet
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
And what lies within this gap now
is an asteroid belt.
Many scientists speculate
that these asteroids
are the remnants of a world
that was destroyed
thousands of years ago
by some cosmic collision.
But according to ancient astronaut theorist.
Zecharia Sitchin, the destruction
of this lost planet may not have been
due to natural causes.
As evidence, he cited the stories
of the oldest known civilization
the Sumerians.
The Sumerian myths point to the idea
that there was this phenomenal
cosmic battle.
That the gods fought amongst themselves
across the cosmos,
one planet fighting another planet.
And that, in fact, one planet
was completely destroyed
during this cosmic battle.
And as a result of that,
they destroyed their home world
and had to reestablish civilization
on a new planet.
Is it possible that there was once a planet
between Mars and Jupiter
that was home to intelligent life?
And if so, might its destruction
have come as the result of an alien war?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest that a recent NASA discovery
may provide evidence that
the survivors of this conflict
took refuge on a celestial body
located within the asteroid belt.
On February 19, 2015,
NASA's Dawn spacecraft sent back to Earth
images of mysterious bright lights
reflecting off the surface
of a dwarf planet called Ceres.
While some scientists have suggested
that the lights are the result
of something natural,
like an ice field or escaping gas,
higher resolution images
have failed to uncover
the true cause of the reflections.
Four months later, in June,
the Dawn spacecraft captured
even more incredible images
images that reveal what looks like
a three-mile-tall pyramid.
These are possibly
technological structures.
So this brings up the question,
is it possible that these were
built by extraterrestrials?
Instead of looking at the creation myths
from Sumer as mythology,
maybe this is scientific data
that we should be revisiting.
Might further exploration of Ceres
reveal evidence that
it once served as refuge
for the survivors of an alien war?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and claim that according
to the Sumerian texts,
these warring extraterrestrial factions
also took refuge on another planet Earth.
And they propose that stories
found throughout the world
of gods waging battle in the skies
suggest that this
otherworldly conflict continued
once the survivors reached
their new home planet.
All over the world, we're seeing evidence
of these ancient wars that took place.
They took place in Greece,
they took place in Norse mythology,
all throughout Mesoamerican symbolism...
And, consistently, what we're seeing is
some sort of battle
for control over the Earth.
When you look at many
of these ancient tales,
it would seem to be that the gods
are warring amongst themselves over us.
This lends to an intriguing possibility,
that we are the descendants of the winners.
And that there are certain
groups that are pushing for us,
and really rallying,
because, in fact, we are
their direct descendants,
they created us through some
sort of genetic engineering.
And then there's other factions
that want to wipe us off the
face of the Earth completely.
And those wars may still be
being fought, right now.
Are humans the descendents
of a race of alien beings
whose home planet was destroyed
thousands of years ago?
Might the ancient stories of warring gods
really be accounts of separate
extraterrestrial factions
that were fighting for control of the Earth
and may still be fighting for it today?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining accounts of modern-day UFOs
appearing over nuclear facilities?
Sultanabad, Iran.
November, 2004.
The Iranian Air Force
scrambles an F-14 fighter jet
in response to an unknown aircraft
rapidly approaching the IB-40
heavy water nuclear facility.
As they close in,
the pilots report seeing a luminous object
unlike any they have ever encountered:
it is spherical
and emits a green afterburner.
When they try to lock on their missiles,
their radar is disrupted
by large amounts of magnetic radiation
emitting from the craft.
What it was, nobody knew.
It was a definitive UFO
and exited the area at high speed.
What's particularly fascinating
and also intriguing and a bit disturbing
is why the UFO took such
an interest in an atomic plant.
UFOs have also been reported
over nuclear missile bases
in England and America.
In March 1967,
Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana
was the site of one of the most profound,
amazing, and disturbing
UFO encounters of all time.
Security personnel described
seeing bright lights,
flying saucers...
definitive UFOs.
One of the missiles
suddenly went off-line.
And then another and another.
Until the whole flight of missiles
was somehow mysteriously deactivated.
This is highly disturbing,
because it suggests
in the event that UFOs
one day become hostile,
our entire atomic arsenal
may become completely inoperable.
Could it be that extraterrestrial beings
are monitoring nuclear facilities
here on Earth?
But if so, why?
There are two reasons why UFO's
might take an interest
in atomic installations.
One might be that they're concerned
that we're gonna destroy ourselves.
They have a vested interest
in keeping the human race alive.
Or perhaps it's personal reasons
and it's the planet they want.
The other possibility is they're fearful
that we may develop far more
advanced atomic weaponry
and that one day, we will be their rival.
Nuclear weapons might represent
the only technology
humans have which would be capable
of posing a threat to them.
Is it possible the technology of modern man
has advanced to the point that
humans are considered a threat
by alien factions watching over the planet?
Some ancient astronaut theorists
are convinced
that this is the case,
and suggest there is evidence
that extraterrestrials
used similar nuclear weapons
right here on Earth
thousands of years ago.
The Great Sand Sea, North Africa.
In the remote corner of
the eastern Saharan desert,
along the border between Egypt and Libya,
translucent pieces
of a pale yellow-green glass
lay scattered about
for miles in every direction.
This rare silicate compound
called Libyan Desert Glass
can only be formed by exposing the sand
to extreme heat and pressure,
like that generated by a meteor strike.
But there are no visible signs
of a suitable impact crater,
nor can any be found
using satellite imaging technology.
Libyan Desert glass is
thousands of years old
and one of the challenges is figuring
how that glass was formed.
We know you need high heat,
high temperatures, high pressure.
This yellowish green glass looks vitrified.
In fact, it's strikingly similar
to Trinitite, the quartz-like glass
that was created after the atomic explosion
at the Trinity test site in New Mexico.
And one wonders if the Libyan glass
is also a remnant from a nuclear explosion.
It is possible that nuclear
blast would have done it,
but that would assume you had
someone around with nuclear weapons.
Is it possible that the Libyan Desert Glass
was formed by the detonation
of a nuclear weapon
thousands of years ago?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and claim evidence
of such a powerful weapon being used
is written in the texts of ancient Egypt.
In the Ancient Egyptian story,
in which Horace avenges
his brother Osiris's death,
he flies up into the heavens
in a winged disc.
And in the heavens,
he encounters the enemies of Osiris,
and he chases them.
And then Horace releases some
kind of a terrible weapon
that causes his enemies to first go blind,
and then death.
This sounds like some devastating weapon
that Horace unleashed.
Is it possible that it was some kind
of a nuclear weapon
that he unleashed on them?
Could ancient Egypt really have been
the site of nuclear warfare
waged by extraterrestrial beings?
And if so,
might this explain why there have been
so many UFO sightings around
nuclear missile facilities?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say that while it may be unclear
whether extraterrestrials
are concerned about
protecting humans or protecting themselves,
recent NASA findings provide evidence
that planet Earth is being shielded
from above.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Ignition sequence start and lift off!
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
August 30, 2012.
NASA launches two probes into space
in order to study
the Van Allen radiation belts
a pair of donut-shaped particle zones
that surround the Earth.
After two years of collecting data,
NASA scientists discover
a surprising phenomenon.
The Van Allen Belts are operating
as a protective dome shielding the Earth
from dangerous radiation.
Our planet is constantly flooded
with particles from space
that are charged that if they
made it through the atmosphere
would actually be quite
damaging radiation to life.
But because of the Van Allen
belts and the combination
of magnetic fields and charged
particles already there,
incoming charged particles
are sent on curved paths
that safely protect the Earth
and we don't get hit by them.
The Van Allen radiation belt
is one of the most phenomenal
scientific phenomena
to be discovered in recent times.
One of the things
that's so shocking about it
is that it's changing and mutating
as if it's intelligently directed.
The Van Allen belts may be
an advanced technology
that we still don't really understand.
A technology that actually is blocking,
not just natural cosmic particles
from the sun from coming in,
but potentially protecting the Earth
from extraterrestrial weapons that might use
some sort of particle beam technology,
from ever being able
to make its way in here.
Were the Van Allen Belts designed
by extraterrestrial beings
to protect mankind
from other hostile alien factions?
Might there really be
an extraterrestrial defense system
protecting the Earth from attack?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest further evidence
that there is an alien faction
policing Earth's airspace
can be found by examining
modern day UFO crashes.
In 2005, UFO researcher Ryan Wood
published a book chronicling 74 instances
of strange objects
falling from the sky dating back to 1897.
As proof that these crashes took place,
he sites official documents,
eyewitness reports,
and even physical evidence.
Ryan Woods' book Majic Eyes Only,
he lists all of these crashes.
And I think the-the U.S. has
been involved in the retrieval
of the vast majority,
doesn't matter where they are.
We had one crash north of
Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada,
and our regular people that go
and investigate aerial crashes
went out there and were greeted
with American troops,
uh, pointing guns at them.
And they contacted Ottawa and were told,
"Well, let the Americans have it."
We've had some great stories of crashes.
Roswell, Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
They're all over the place.
And you say to yourself,
"How could they crash when they
have that kind of technology?"
You've got to wonder how extraterrestrials
with all of their advanced super technology
would then just crash.
It would seem that something
else is really going on here.
Perhaps we have the
extraterrestrials themselves
battling it out over our skies.
Is it possible that even now warring factions
of extraterrestrial so-called "gods"
are in fact duking it out
over what happens on Earth?
And wars that we see in ancient texts
like the Mahabharata or the Bible
could be still playing out
in our skies as we speak.
Could we really be at the center
of an extraterrestrial conflict
that dates back
to before the dawn
of human civilization on Earth?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and suggest that our survival
may be dependent
upon an ancient defense system
that has existed for thousands
of years right beneath our feet.
Yakutia, Russia.
1854.
In a desolate region of Siberia
known as the "Valley of Death,"
geographer and natural scientist
Richard Karl Maak
leads a scientific expedition of
the Russian Geographical Society
into the Vilyuy River basin.
In his journal, Maak writes
that he and his team
encountered several large
and mysterious metallic objects
embedded in the earth
that the local hunters referred
to as "cauldrons."
Additional accounts were reported
throughout the late 19th
and early 20th centuries.
According to descriptions,
these large metallic domes
that protrude from the ground
each measure between 20
and 30 feet in diameter.
Their existence is also supported
by the legends of the local Yakut people,
who say that over the years
the cauldrons would periodically open up
and send fireballs into the sky.
What happens is that an object
would fly out from under the ground
and intercept an incoming celestial body...
be it a bolide, meteor,
anything that can really damage our planet.
It's like somebody put in
an automatic station
programmed to take out a celestial body
that can cause us tremendous damage
and maybe to end life on Earth.
On June 30, 1908,
a fireball was seen streaking across the sky
over the Tunguska River in rural Siberia,
followed by a massive explosion.
It was the same area where these
mysterious sunken cauldrons
are said to be located.
20 years later,
when the Soviet military examined the area,
they reported finding flattened trees
for miles around the blast site,
but no crater.
A Soviet military officer
came up with an idea,
Alexander Kazantsev, in 1940s,
that this was an alien ship, a UFO
that came into the atmosphere
of our planet and exploded.
Others took up this idea.
But where he came up with it,
it's very hard to say,
because secrecy is all over Russia.
Is it possible the cauldrons serve as a type
of antiaircraft weapon
against space-based threats?
It's possible that the Earth
has been equipped with some sort
of hyper-advanced technology
that is actually keeping us all safe,
and that whoever won these
ancient extraterrestrial wars,
who may in fact be our progenitors,
put that there so that their
offspring would be protected
from whoever their enemies had been
many thousands of years ago.
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that if there is an extraterrestrial
conflict over humanity,
it may be due to the fact
that certain alien factions
consider humans a threat.
They propose that the point
mankind has reached today
is predicted in the same Sanskrit texts
that documented these ancient alien wars.
The ancient Hindu texts tell us
that we are in the very last
of four stages of the planet...
and that stage is called Kali Yuga.
And Kali Yuga is a time of strife
and, uh, terrible activities and of evil.
And it may be that the extraterrestrials
are really monitoring us
to see how we can handle
this very stressful period.
There are conflicts in the skies.
There are different species
with different agendas.
I'm sure that we are regarded
as a potential threat.
They would assume
that eventually we'll
be traveling around the cosmos,
and it's something that must go
through their collective minds:
that these are war-like people,
and consequently we're gonna
have to keep an eye on them.
Now for the first time
I think that the future
of the species is at stake.
That's how deeply I feel.
There are lessons to be learned.
And we have to learn 'em now.
We have to learn 'em very, very quickly.
Is it possible that extraterrestrial beings
have been fighting for
control of planet Earth
for thousands of years?
And could the outcome of this
dispute ultimately be determined
not by alien combatants, but by humans?
Perhaps we are on the verge of reaching
a defining moment in our evolution,
a turning point that will lead
either to our ascension
or our extermination.
