Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 11, Episode 9 - The Hidden Empire - full transcript
Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that evidence of extraterrestrial visitation exists in every corner of the Earth, but some say the most compelling can be found in one of the world's least accessible places--China. China is the...
NICK POPE:
Thousands of people
in the Chinese city of Foshan
saw what they could only
describe as a floating city.
WILLIAM HENRY:
Thousands of Chinese people
flocked to social media
with photos of UFOs
flying over China.
NICK REDFERN:
We're getting more and more
of these anomalous phenomena
in the skies,
which the Chinese government
are trying to dismiss.
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
One has to wonder whether or not
history is repeating itself,
because in China, you have
stories of flying dragons.
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Extraterrestrials may have
been living amongst the Chinese
for thousands of years.
And finally
the veil is being lifted
on the true history of China.
NARRATOR:
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 there be
a connection between aliens
and China's Hidden Empire?
Who are the real-world Illuminati ?

January 26, 2011.
Sun Shili-- a former Chinese
Foreign Ministry official,
who worked directly
with Mao Tse-tung--
comes forward
with a shocking revelation
that is reported
in The Canadian newspaper.
The Chinese government is aware
of extraterrestrials
visiting Earth.
(speaking Chinese)
(translated):
The government held an objective
and practical attitude,
and allowed us to do
abundant research, reports
and discussions on the topic.
They pay great attention
to this topic,
especially the military,
the air force
and civil aviation departments,
which encounter UFO cases
frequently.
POPE: Sun Shili said that not
only were the Chinese government
aware that extraterrestrials
were visiting the Earth,
but also that some aliens
were actually living among us
disguised in human form.
His revelations
are an absolute bombshell.
I mean, clearly
this shines a new light on
what may have been going on
in relation to this subject
in one of the most
secret societies
on the face of this planet.
NARRATOR: Shili claimed to have
discovered sensitive information
about government knowledge
of extraterrestrials
while serving Chairman Mao,
and he also had
his own close encounter.
(Shili speaking Chinese)
(translated): In 1972,
I was in the central government.
I was working in the foreign
affairs department.
We were on evening duty
when we saw
a shiny UFO in the sky,
like a small moon.
It was smaller than the moon
but was very bright.
It moved up and down.
It disappeared after
about ten minutes or so.
NARRATOR: Initially,
Shili regarded the spectacle
as a type of Cold War
intelligence monitoring device.
But years later, after working
within elevated levels
of the Chinese government,
he was certain he had witnessed
an alien spacecraft.
(indistinct chatter)
POPE:
I met Dr. Sun Shili
in 2013 in Washington D.C.
We were both speakers at the
Citizen Hearing on Disclosure.
I had a chance
to meet with, uh, Sun Shili
and, um, discuss some of this
with him firsthand.
He's entirely sincere
about this.
NARRATOR:
Could Sun Shili--
a man who worked closely
with one of the most powerful
world leaders in history--
really have inside knowledge
about extraterrestrials
visiting Earth?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest that China--
a historically
isolationist country--
may have secretly
been in contact
with extraterrestrials
for decades
and possibly longer.
JONATHAN YOUNG:
China has always been insular.
There's always been a sense
that the rest of the world
was unimportant,
that China was for China
and for the Chinese,
and they were very careful
about any secrets that came out.
POPE:
China is a notoriously closed
and secretive society.
Is this in relation to UFOs
because they know something?
Could it be that
they found something?
PAUL STONEHILL:
The Chinese government does not
feel obligated to explain
their views on UFOs
or their research.
I am sure they are
concerned that, um,
those who study UFOs sometimes
see military tests
in the skies of China.
They are
a self-immersed civilization
and they don't feel perhaps
that they need to share
all their historical knowledge
with the others.
NARRATOR: China is the world's
most populous country,
with a unique blend of ancient
and modern civilization.
Westerners have
long held a fascination
with this distant land,
in part
because it seems
to hold so many secrets.
From the construction
of the 13,000-mile-long
Great Wall of China,
erected thousands of years ago,
to the so-called digital
"Great Firewall"
restricting the Internet today--
China has taken
extraordinary measures
that have prevented
both people and information
from entering
or leaving its domain.
But why?
According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
the answer may be found
by looking back 5,000 years
to China's beginnings
and the reign
of their very first ruler--
the Yellow Emperor.
DOMINIC STEAVU: The Yellow
Emperor is understood to be
a human figure, but
originally in his
earlier incarnation
he was actually
a divine celestial figure.
He was a god associated
with thunder and lightning,
more specifically.
And he was thought
to reside in the sky.
The reign of the Yellow Emperor,
which purportedly
lasted 100 years,
was thought to be a high point
of Chinese culture
and of civilization.
So he's associated with a number
of technological developments
spanning from the calendar,
advances in mathematics,
astronomy, agricultural
techniques, writing as well.
NARRATOR:
According to ancient accounts,
the Yellow Emperor
possessed knowledge
of advanced technology,
and invented many
mechanical devices,
including a cauldron
that was oriented
towards the Syuan Yuan star,
the star from which he
is said to have descended.
It was written that the cauldron
could make a dragon appear
from the sky.
STEAVU: When the time was right,
he crafted the cauldron,
and in it he threw in
some alchemical ingredients,
uh, elixir ingredients.
(explosion)
And immediately the heavens
opened and a dragon emerged.
TSOUKALOS: So a flying dragon
sometimes described
with metallic skin,
one has to wonder
do we have descriptions
of nuts and bolts machines?
Could these be nothing else
but descriptions
of misunderstood technology?
(Shili speaking Chinese)
SHILI (translated):
Based on our research,
the Yellow Emperor arrived
in the wonderful land of China
through an aircraft.
(speaking Chinese)
(translated): We Chinese people
consider ourselves
the descendants of the dragon.
In UFO research, a dragon
is the symbol of aircraft,
that is, the symbol of a UFO.
NARRATOR: Is it possible
the Yellow Emperor
was an extraterrestrial
that was responsible
for starting
Chinese civilization
over 5,000 years ago?
And if so,
might subsequent emperors,
who all claimed to be
descendants of Huangdi,
have been at least
part alien as well?
In China's ancient history,
it was often forbidden
to look upon the emperor.
And from 1420 to 1912,
emperors were actually
walled off
from the public within a massive
citadel in Beijing
known as the Forbidden City.
The design of the Forbidden City
was meticulously planned
to shield the emperor
from the outside world,
as well as symbolize Chinese
philosophy and religion.
The Forbidden City
was considered to be
an earthly counterpart
to an extraterrestrial city.
A monk received the plan
for the city in a vision,
and it was built of stones, some
of them weighing over 300 tons.
The full name of
the Forbidden City is actually
"the Purple Forbidden City,"
and this refers
to a constellation,
which is known as the "purple
enclosure," in the skies.
This constellation is said
to house the celestial emperor
and his immediate entourage.
So, the Forbidden City
in Beijing is considered to be
a earthly or
terrestrial counterpart
of this celestial palace
up in the stars.
CHILDRESS:
So you have to wonder,
might these Chinese emperors
have been aliens
living both among people
of the Earth and in the sky?
NARRATOR: Was the practice
of hiding Chinese emperors
implemented to conceal flesh
and blood extraterrestrials?
And, if so, might there
still be aliens living among--
and in fact ruling--
the Chinese people,
just as former
Chinese official Sun Shili
claims there are today?
Ancient astronaut theorists
propose further evidence
lies buried
in an isolated desert
in the form
of mysterious mummies.
DAVID WILCOCK:
When they've actually tested
the mitochondrial DNA
of these mummies,
there are anomalies
that do not add up
to genetic information
that we have
from anywhere else.
NARRATOR:
Heilongjiang Province, China.
June 1994.
Red Flag logging camp.
Tree farmer Meng Zhaoguo
spots what he believes to be
a helicopter crashing into
the nearby Dragon Mountains.
He sets out to investigate,
and when he reaches
the lip of the valley,
he is struck on the head
and knocked unconscious.
He wakes up several days later
in his bedroom at home,
doesn't know how he got there.
But he also that day
has a visitation
by what he describes as
a ten-foot-tall extraterrestrial
female with six fingers.
They're floating
in the air above his bed.
Suddenly she vanishes.
She walks through the wall
in his room
and he floats back into his bed.
NARRATOR: While this account
is certainly fantastical,
Beijing-based psychologists
and police technicians
subjected Zhaoguo
to a rigorous examination,
including hypnosis and
a lie detector test and
concluded his story
to be truthful.
Zhaoguo is one
of literally thousands
who have come forward in China
in recent years to say
that they have had
extraterrestrial encounters.
But his abduction
by this otherworldly giant
is particularly significant
because of an extraordinary
archaeological discovery
in China that dates back
nearly 4,000 years.
The Taklamakan Desert,
known as "the Sea of Death."
It is a vast, unforgiving land
shrouded in myths
and lost to time.
CHRISTOPH BAUMER:
The Taklamakan Desert
is located in the northwest
of China...
While the Taklamakan Desert
is one of the least habitable
places on Earth, astoundingly,
over the last three decades,
Chinese archaeologists
working in the Tarim Basin
region have excavated
hundreds of tombs that date back
to as early as 1800 BC.
NARRATOR:
The well-preserved
nature of the mummified bodies
allowed archaeologists
to conduct modern DNA analyses
that determined the ancient
travelers were not Chinese.
WILCOCK: Now, these mummies
were very curious
in that some of them have
what the biologists
call Europoid features.
This means they have
angular faces.
They have recessed eyes.
They have white skin.
They have elongated bodies,
and they have curly hair
that can be red, blonde,
or dark brown.
When they've actually tested
the mitochondrial DNA
of these mummies,
they find Haplogroups M and K,
which are actually
genetic DNA markers suggesting
Western European
genetic lineage.
However, there is a problem.
There are anomalies in the DNA.
There are things
that do not add up...
...to any known surviving relics
of genetic information
that we have from anywhere else.
This suggests that these people
may in fact be
extraterrestrials.
NARRATOR:
Could the mysterious mummies
discovered at the Tarim Basin
really be of alien origin?
And might it also be possible
that the giant being
Meng Zhaoguo encountered
in his home in 1994
is a member
of the same alien race?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and suggest
further proof can be found
by examining the evidence
discovered
at one of China's
most secret pyramids.
WILCOCK:
Why would the pipes
be specifically
going up to a pyramid
on the top of a mountain?
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Is it possible
that Mount Baigong
was some kind of
extraterrestrial base?
NARRATOR:
Shaanxi Province, China, 1947.
Colonel Maurice Sheahan,
the Far East director
for Trans World Airlines...
...is flying over Central China,
when he spots
a white jewel-topped structure
that he estimates to be
a 1,000-foot-high pyramid.
HENRY: Colonel Maurice Sheahan
looks down
and he sees a giant pyramid
that he says is larger
than the Great Pyramid of Giza.
He reports this
to The New York Times
and it causes a sensation.
NARRATOR:
On March 27, 1947,
Colonel Sheahan's eyewitness
account is circulated worldwide
when The New York Times
reports his story and
two days later a photograph
of the mysterious structure
is printed.
HENRY:
Since then, 37 more pyramids
have been sighted
in this area of China,
including the mausoleum
of the first Chin emperor,
where we find the incredible
terra-cotta warriors.
It suggests that ancient China
was a place where pyramid
building was rampant.
VON DANIKEN:
It was always known
that there were pyramids
in China,
but only in the last,
uh, decades,
Chinese archaeologists start
to publish books
about these pyramids.
They are all related
to the original rulers.
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists contend not only that
the formations found in Xian
are pyramids, but also that
another structure
discovered here
points to a connection
to the heavens.
In the summer of 1999,
the oldest known altar used
in Chinese state religious
practice was unearthed in Xian
by the Chinese Academy
of Social Sciences.
It is estimated that
17 Chinese emperors conducted
religious rites at
the so-called Altar of Heaven
that dates back
to at least 581 AD.
VON DANIKEN: All
the Chinese kings communicated
with the extraterrestrials,
the gods from heaven,
on the so-called
Altar of Heaven.
But the same stone structure,
with different ring
about the main altar,
we find in Peru,
over the city of Saksaywaman.
And, the rulers of the Inca
were, of course again,
the descendants from heaven,
like in China.
It's incredibly unique
that you have Muyuq Marka
in Peru,
and the Altar of Heaven
in China,
coming from two
very different cultures,
two different time periods,
that you have so many unique
similarities between
these two structures,
and they're both used
for communication with the gods.
Could that suggest that
these ancient cultures
were trying to worship
and venerate
the same extraterrestrial gods
that may have visited
this planet in ancient times?
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the mysterious structures
found in and around
the city of Xian, China,
were used by ancient rulers
to connect
with otherworldly beings?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that another,
even more mysterious pyramid,
can be found
roughly 500 miles west of Xian
in the province of Qinghai,
atop Mount Baigong.
In 2003 a team of Chinese
scientists went to Tibet
and investigated
the infamous Mount Baigong...
...which has,
as they discovered,
a 200-foot-tall pyramid
at the top of the mountain.
There was a system of caves
inside that had triangular faces
at the openings of the caves
on three areas,
and they found a variety
of rusty pieces
that were around the pyramid.
CHILDRESS: Mount Baigong appears
to be an artificial pyramid
with three triangular entrances
going inside
this mountain pyramid,
and inside are all of these
metallic pipes.
The floor of these caves
are littered
with metallic parts.
It's like this was
some kind of base.
NARRATOR: According
to ancient astronaut theory,
the reason that pyramids
are found all over the world
from Egypt,
to Peru,
to Mexico
is because our ancestors
were taught to build
these structures
by extraterrestrial visitors.
If the mysterious pipe-shaped
objects found at Mount Baigong
were artificially manufactured
with advanced technology,
could this be definitive proof
of alien intervention
in the distant past?
In Chinese mythology,
the Kunlun Mountain was said
to be the center of the Earth,
and it was supposedly
a-a huge pillar
of jade and jasper
and precious gems that
reached up into the sky.
STEAVU: Mount Kunlun
is a mythical mountain
that is an axis mundi,
which is a central pillar
around which the entire
universe revolves.
This is a connector
between Earth and
the rest of the universe.
It's where celestial beings can
communicate with earthly beings.
You have to wonder
if Mount Baigong is not
this mythical Kunlun Mountain
that was some
kind of extraterrestrial base
that spanned Earth
and the stars.
NARRATOR: Could it be
that extraterrestrials
visited China
thousands of years ago
and left behind remnants
from an ancient base?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest China's biggest secrets
may not be on top
of its greatest peaks,
but beneath its darkest depths.
TSOUKALOS: He discovered
an underwater city,
dwellings
at the bottom of a lake.
Did some kind of advanced
civilization exist
beneath Fuxian Lake?
NARRATOR:
Fuxian Lake.
Yunnan Province, China, 1992.
Expert diver,
Geng Wei, descends into this
remote lake and discovers
a surprising phenomenon.
The bottom is littered
with hand-carved flagstones
and other stone relics.
The mysterious stones
lie scattered on the bottom
of China's second deepest
freshwater lake,
which covers an area
of 100 square miles
with a depth of 509 feet.
What he saw was
quite extraordinary.
Hand-dressed flagstones,
roads, buildings.
And it's as if he discovered
an underwater city.
That clearly has evidence
of dwellings
at the bottom of a lake.
It was built when
there wasn't a lake,
and that would mean that
we're talking about a time
before the last ice age,
which would bring
the story of Fuxian Lake
way more into the remote past
than what we're being told.
CHILDRESS:
Geng Wei made over 35 dives
in Fuxian Lake,
and they even took a submarine
down into this lake
to find stairs
and more of these flagstones
and walls beneath this lake.
So you have to wonder,
did some kind of advanced
civilization exist
at one time beneath Fuxian Lake?
NARRATOR:
In 2001, archaeologists
from the Yunnan
Provincial Museum
used advanced sonar scanners
and cameras
to conduct the monumental task
of surveying Fuxian Lake.
The evidence collected convinced
Chinese archaeologists
they had discovered structures
of an advanced civilization,
including an arena-type building
and pyramids.
This mysterious
sunken city covers
more than one square mile,
but the questions remain.
Who built it and why?
The pyramid itself
is very unusual
and it's-- it-it is said
that the pyramid
is as old as
the Egyptian pyramids are
and maybe even higher
than some of them.
It's an incredible discovery.
CHILDRESS:
Ancient Chinese records
speak of a city in the area
of Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan.
However, studies
of the underwater structures
at Fuxian Lake show that
it's actually much older
than this Yuyuan city.
Could this be the remains
of some ancient
and advanced society that was
destroyed in the Great Flood?
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that an extraterrestrial base
is located deep underwater?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest USOs,
or unidentified
submersible objects,
have been well chronicled
in ancient Chinese texts.
REDFERN:
According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi,
a book written during the reign
of Emperor Daoguang
in the Qing Dynasty,
a horse-like monster
lived in the lake.
The animal was described
as being white
with red spots on its back.
More intriguingly,
it was a creature
that could actually
take to the skies.
This suggests it may have been
part USO, part UFO.
That's to say,
an underwater submersible object
and also an unidentified
flying object.
NARRATOR:
October 24, 1991.
A local fisherman named
Zhang Yuxiang was fishing
on Fuxian Lake during
a clear and tranquil day,
when a dense fog suddenly rolled
across the vast body of water.
In 1991,
Zhang Yuxiang, a fisherman,
was at Fuxian Lake
when he encountered a UFO.
Now, this strange craft
actually emerged
from the waters of the lake.
He described it
as a shining disc.
This UFO was so close
and so powerful
that it actually tossed
the boat around.
And then rapidly this craft just
disappeared up into the sky.
Lake Fuxian is clearly a-an area
where there have been many
strange events over the years.
NARRATOR:
Could the flying dragon
that carried the Yellow Emperor
described
in ancient Chinese texts
and the USO witnessed
by Zhang Yuxiang
be the same alien craft?
And if so, is it possible
that an extraterrestrial base
exists at the bottom
of Fuxian Lake?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and claim strange sightings
in China
have become so numerous
that soon the government
will no longer be able
to hide the truth.
REDFERN:
When the UFO was seen,
all hell broke loose.
HENRY:
Thousands of Chinese people
flocked to social media
with photos
of UFOs flying over China.
NARRATOR:
Foshan, China.
October 7, 2015.
Above this sprawling metropolis,
thousands of shocked
residents witness
an astonishing spectacle...
a city hovering in the clouds.
The apparition of a cityscape
is unmistakable and remains
in the sky for several minutes,
long enough to be captured
on video,
which is broadcast
on Chinese television
and subsequently disseminated on
social media across the globe.
REDFERN:
Numerous people reported seeing
what looked like
skyscraper-type buildings
in the clouds high in the sky.
It was an amazing spectacle.
There's just no other way
to describe it.
NARRATOR:
While Chinese officials
denounced the phenomenon
as an elaborate hoax, to date,
no one has been able to prove
that the footage
is not authentic,
and the video
is backed up by the reports
of numerous eyewitnesses.
But some argue that even
if the footage is genuine,
it can be explained
by an optical illusion
known as Fata Morgana.
So, one theory about
what this could have been
is something known
as a Fata Morgana,
and, uh, that's a-an illusion
type of effect.
Think of a mirage,
in which you're seeing something
close to the horizon,
and it'll give an effect
of something
that's-that's not there.
It's an atmospheric illusion.
The reason that I don't think
that this is
a Fata Morgana effect
is because this is way
too high up to be one.
Using the idea that
this is some type
of inversion layer
to somehow broadcast or enhance
the idea of a cityscape
in the sky just doesn't hold up.
So, there could in fact
have been some type
of a large mother ship
or some craft in the sky.
This isn't new.
Now, just a few days later,
over 800 miles away,
we had another sighting of
this exact same phenomenon.
So, it stands to reason that
there was some type of
physical presence in the sky.
If we assume that the vision
n the sky
that was seen in Foshan
by thousands of people
was just some kind of
optical illusion,
I find it highly coincidental
that the same vision is seen
hundreds of miles away
a few days later
in another city called Jiangxi,
also witnessed
by thousands of people.
NARRATOR:
Could thousands of people
across China have really
witnessed
some type of alien base
or mother ship
floating in the sky?
And if so, might it be evidence
of extraterrestrials
making their presence known?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
there have been many more cases
of alien entities appearing in
the skies above China.
Cases that the government
could not ignore.
Zhejiang Province, China.
July 7, 2010.
Just after 8:40 p.m.,
the Hangzhou Xiaoshan
International Airport,
which serves over 70,000
passengers a day,
is suddenly shut down.
All outbound flights
are grounded,
and inbound flights
are diverted to nearby airports.
The cause of the shutdown was
an unidentified flying object
seen streaking
across the night sky
by a flight crew preparing
for descent.
Xiaoshan Airport is one
of the largest in China.
And that's very important.
It's a very busy airport.
What happened on July 7 is that
a pilot from an incoming
passenger airplane
noticed something very unusual
coming towards him.
He notified the ground crew
and the airport was shut down
because a comet-like object
was basically speeding
towards the airport.
There was a trail behind it.
It was a glowing,
oval-shaped object.
NARRATOR: The object was also
witnessed and photographed
by numerous Hangzhou residents.
When the UFO was seen,
all hell broke loose.
Flights were diverted.
The military was contacted
to see if they were test-flying
anything in the air,
which they weren't.
This is the third such incident
in five years in China
where the presence of a UFO
has either shut down an airport
or caused havoc and amazement
amongst the populus.
And it's clearly something
that the Chinese government
want to shut down and play down.
It could also be due to the fact
that the Chinese have realized
they're not in control of their
airspace, somebody else is.
(speaking Chinese)
(translated): The Xiaoshan event
is only one of the events
of this kind.
The same thing happened
in Guizhou Province.
At that time, the pilots were
instructed to avoid the UFO,
ground their aircrafts
and return to the air
after the event,
which can provide evidence
of the existence
of the UFO phenomenon.
NARRATOR:
While many in the United States
view the UFO phenomenon
as distinctly American,
recent surveys have shown
that roughly half of the
1.4 billion Chinese people
believe in UFOs
and extraterrestrial life.
And ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
that despite the Chinese
government's dismissal
of recent UFO events,
it now appears
they too are taking an interest
in otherworldly phenomena.
It's incredibly popular
in China to be a member
of a UFO community
that's trying to make contact
with extraterrestrial beings.
The Chinese government
is closely monitoring this
and in fact they're financing
some of these research groups.
So, one wonders,
is the Chinese government
starting to view
our contact with
extraterrestrial beings
as something simply
too strong to deny?
NARRATOR: Could recent events be
forcing the Chinese government
to take a greater interest
in examining possible
extraterrestrial encounters?
Encounters that they have
secretly known about for years?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest that China's effort
to manufacture
the world's largest
radio telescope
is an explicit mission towards
the search for alien life.
NARRATOR
Guizhou Province, China.
2011.
Construction commences
on a massive engineering
and scientific endeavor.
A 500-meter telescope,
also known as FAST.
Nan Rendong, chief scientist
of the FAST project states,
"A radio telescope is
like a sensitive ear,
separating radio messages from
white noise in the universe."
The Chinese government
is currently constructing
what will be the largest radio
telescope anywhere in the world.
The reflector dish will be
500 meters in diameter
and this will dwarf any other
comparable facility.
It will be the best piece of
equipment for 20 or 30 years
when it comes
to radio astronomy.
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists
point to the construction
of this behemoth telescope
as proof that China is deeply
interested in extraterrestrials.
Do they know there are aliens
out there?
Are they trying to get absolute,
verifiable proof positive
and be the first nation
to disclose?
The Chinese government was very
clear in stating
that this dish was built
specifically
for the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence.
So then the question arises,
are they merely following up
on their history?
Because China,
as with every other
ancient culture,
was visited
by extraterrestrials.
What is their interest
in exploring deep space?
NARRATOR: The telescope
was completed in July of 2016
and is regarded
as a giant leap forward
with unprecedented precision
that will allow
the Chinese government to survey
not only the Milky Way
but also distant galaxies
for radio signals
and signs of life.
While many other nations
are currently designing
or constructing
advanced radio telescopes,
none will surpass
the size and capability
of the FAST telescope.
Wu Xiangping, director-general
of the Chinese Astronomical
Society, declared,
"It will help us to search
for intelligent life
"outside the galaxy
and explore the origins
of the universe."
POPE: Out there somewhere might
civilizations
be posting scientific
and technical information
that they've discovered?
And the first nation
to download this information
will have a huge advantage.
They'll be the dominant force
on this planet
for the foreseeable future.
Do the Chinese want to be first?
Do they know it's out there?
And is this radio telescope
an attempt to go
and get that information?
(speaking Chinese)
(translated): I think it's good
and encouraging that our country
is constructing
such a huge telescope.
It will help to find aliens
and alien civilization.
STONEHILL:
For thousands of years,
Chinese people have collected
reports about UFO encounters
and have recorded them.
And those who studied are amazed
at the accuracy
and just the sheer wealth
of the UFO information
coming from China,
and I hope this will continue.
TSOUKALOS:
As China slowly opens its doors,
is it possible that we'll
encounter that the stories
of the Yellow Emperor
are in fact true?
That they were visited
by extraterrestrial beings
in the remote past?
Only time will tell.
Could it be that China
is building the world's
largest radio telescope
not in hopes of finding proof
of alien life in the universe
but in order to welcome new
messages from extraterrestrials
that have been visiting China
for thousands of years?
And could stories
of flying dragons,
Yellow Emperors,
and the existence of strange,
secret pyramids
be the proof that
ancient astronaut theorists
have been looking for?
One thing is certain--
the evidence of extraterrestrial
contact is mounting.
And the ultimate close encounter
could soon happen
right before our eyes.

Thousands of people
in the Chinese city of Foshan
saw what they could only
describe as a floating city.
WILLIAM HENRY:
Thousands of Chinese people
flocked to social media
with photos of UFOs
flying over China.
NICK REDFERN:
We're getting more and more
of these anomalous phenomena
in the skies,
which the Chinese government
are trying to dismiss.
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
One has to wonder whether or not
history is repeating itself,
because in China, you have
stories of flying dragons.
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Extraterrestrials may have
been living amongst the Chinese
for thousands of years.
And finally
the veil is being lifted
on the true history of China.
NARRATOR:
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 there be
a connection between aliens
and China's Hidden Empire?

January 26, 2011.
Sun Shili-- a former Chinese
Foreign Ministry official,
who worked directly
with Mao Tse-tung--
comes forward
with a shocking revelation
that is reported
in The Canadian newspaper.
The Chinese government is aware
of extraterrestrials
visiting Earth.
(speaking Chinese)
(translated):
The government held an objective
and practical attitude,
and allowed us to do
abundant research, reports
and discussions on the topic.
They pay great attention
to this topic,
especially the military,
the air force
and civil aviation departments,
which encounter UFO cases
frequently.
POPE: Sun Shili said that not
only were the Chinese government
aware that extraterrestrials
were visiting the Earth,
but also that some aliens
were actually living among us
disguised in human form.
His revelations
are an absolute bombshell.
I mean, clearly
this shines a new light on
what may have been going on
in relation to this subject
in one of the most
secret societies
on the face of this planet.
NARRATOR: Shili claimed to have
discovered sensitive information
about government knowledge
of extraterrestrials
while serving Chairman Mao,
and he also had
his own close encounter.
(Shili speaking Chinese)
(translated): In 1972,
I was in the central government.
I was working in the foreign
affairs department.
We were on evening duty
when we saw
a shiny UFO in the sky,
like a small moon.
It was smaller than the moon
but was very bright.
It moved up and down.
It disappeared after
about ten minutes or so.
NARRATOR: Initially,
Shili regarded the spectacle
as a type of Cold War
intelligence monitoring device.
But years later, after working
within elevated levels
of the Chinese government,
he was certain he had witnessed
an alien spacecraft.
(indistinct chatter)
POPE:
I met Dr. Sun Shili
in 2013 in Washington D.C.
We were both speakers at the
Citizen Hearing on Disclosure.
I had a chance
to meet with, uh, Sun Shili
and, um, discuss some of this
with him firsthand.
He's entirely sincere
about this.
NARRATOR:
Could Sun Shili--
a man who worked closely
with one of the most powerful
world leaders in history--
really have inside knowledge
about extraterrestrials
visiting Earth?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest that China--
a historically
isolationist country--
may have secretly
been in contact
with extraterrestrials
for decades
and possibly longer.
JONATHAN YOUNG:
China has always been insular.
There's always been a sense
that the rest of the world
was unimportant,
that China was for China
and for the Chinese,
and they were very careful
about any secrets that came out.
POPE:
China is a notoriously closed
and secretive society.
Is this in relation to UFOs
because they know something?
Could it be that
they found something?
PAUL STONEHILL:
The Chinese government does not
feel obligated to explain
their views on UFOs
or their research.
I am sure they are
concerned that, um,
those who study UFOs sometimes
see military tests
in the skies of China.
They are
a self-immersed civilization
and they don't feel perhaps
that they need to share
all their historical knowledge
with the others.
NARRATOR: China is the world's
most populous country,
with a unique blend of ancient
and modern civilization.
Westerners have
long held a fascination
with this distant land,
in part
because it seems
to hold so many secrets.
From the construction
of the 13,000-mile-long
Great Wall of China,
erected thousands of years ago,
to the so-called digital
"Great Firewall"
restricting the Internet today--
China has taken
extraordinary measures
that have prevented
both people and information
from entering
or leaving its domain.
But why?
According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
the answer may be found
by looking back 5,000 years
to China's beginnings
and the reign
of their very first ruler--
the Yellow Emperor.
DOMINIC STEAVU: The Yellow
Emperor is understood to be
a human figure, but
originally in his
earlier incarnation
he was actually
a divine celestial figure.
He was a god associated
with thunder and lightning,
more specifically.
And he was thought
to reside in the sky.
The reign of the Yellow Emperor,
which purportedly
lasted 100 years,
was thought to be a high point
of Chinese culture
and of civilization.
So he's associated with a number
of technological developments
spanning from the calendar,
advances in mathematics,
astronomy, agricultural
techniques, writing as well.
NARRATOR:
According to ancient accounts,
the Yellow Emperor
possessed knowledge
of advanced technology,
and invented many
mechanical devices,
including a cauldron
that was oriented
towards the Syuan Yuan star,
the star from which he
is said to have descended.
It was written that the cauldron
could make a dragon appear
from the sky.
STEAVU: When the time was right,
he crafted the cauldron,
and in it he threw in
some alchemical ingredients,
uh, elixir ingredients.
(explosion)
And immediately the heavens
opened and a dragon emerged.
TSOUKALOS: So a flying dragon
sometimes described
with metallic skin,
one has to wonder
do we have descriptions
of nuts and bolts machines?
Could these be nothing else
but descriptions
of misunderstood technology?
(Shili speaking Chinese)
SHILI (translated):
Based on our research,
the Yellow Emperor arrived
in the wonderful land of China
through an aircraft.
(speaking Chinese)
(translated): We Chinese people
consider ourselves
the descendants of the dragon.
In UFO research, a dragon
is the symbol of aircraft,
that is, the symbol of a UFO.
NARRATOR: Is it possible
the Yellow Emperor
was an extraterrestrial
that was responsible
for starting
Chinese civilization
over 5,000 years ago?
And if so,
might subsequent emperors,
who all claimed to be
descendants of Huangdi,
have been at least
part alien as well?
In China's ancient history,
it was often forbidden
to look upon the emperor.
And from 1420 to 1912,
emperors were actually
walled off
from the public within a massive
citadel in Beijing
known as the Forbidden City.
The design of the Forbidden City
was meticulously planned
to shield the emperor
from the outside world,
as well as symbolize Chinese
philosophy and religion.
The Forbidden City
was considered to be
an earthly counterpart
to an extraterrestrial city.
A monk received the plan
for the city in a vision,
and it was built of stones, some
of them weighing over 300 tons.
The full name of
the Forbidden City is actually
"the Purple Forbidden City,"
and this refers
to a constellation,
which is known as the "purple
enclosure," in the skies.
This constellation is said
to house the celestial emperor
and his immediate entourage.
So, the Forbidden City
in Beijing is considered to be
a earthly or
terrestrial counterpart
of this celestial palace
up in the stars.
CHILDRESS:
So you have to wonder,
might these Chinese emperors
have been aliens
living both among people
of the Earth and in the sky?
NARRATOR: Was the practice
of hiding Chinese emperors
implemented to conceal flesh
and blood extraterrestrials?
And, if so, might there
still be aliens living among--
and in fact ruling--
the Chinese people,
just as former
Chinese official Sun Shili
claims there are today?
Ancient astronaut theorists
propose further evidence
lies buried
in an isolated desert
in the form
of mysterious mummies.
DAVID WILCOCK:
When they've actually tested
the mitochondrial DNA
of these mummies,
there are anomalies
that do not add up
to genetic information
that we have
from anywhere else.
NARRATOR:
Heilongjiang Province, China.
June 1994.
Red Flag logging camp.
Tree farmer Meng Zhaoguo
spots what he believes to be
a helicopter crashing into
the nearby Dragon Mountains.
He sets out to investigate,
and when he reaches
the lip of the valley,
he is struck on the head
and knocked unconscious.
He wakes up several days later
in his bedroom at home,
doesn't know how he got there.
But he also that day
has a visitation
by what he describes as
a ten-foot-tall extraterrestrial
female with six fingers.
They're floating
in the air above his bed.
Suddenly she vanishes.
She walks through the wall
in his room
and he floats back into his bed.
NARRATOR: While this account
is certainly fantastical,
Beijing-based psychologists
and police technicians
subjected Zhaoguo
to a rigorous examination,
including hypnosis and
a lie detector test and
concluded his story
to be truthful.
Zhaoguo is one
of literally thousands
who have come forward in China
in recent years to say
that they have had
extraterrestrial encounters.
But his abduction
by this otherworldly giant
is particularly significant
because of an extraordinary
archaeological discovery
in China that dates back
nearly 4,000 years.
The Taklamakan Desert,
known as "the Sea of Death."
It is a vast, unforgiving land
shrouded in myths
and lost to time.
CHRISTOPH BAUMER:
The Taklamakan Desert
is located in the northwest
of China...
While the Taklamakan Desert
is one of the least habitable
places on Earth, astoundingly,
over the last three decades,
Chinese archaeologists
working in the Tarim Basin
region have excavated
hundreds of tombs that date back
to as early as 1800 BC.
NARRATOR:
The well-preserved
nature of the mummified bodies
allowed archaeologists
to conduct modern DNA analyses
that determined the ancient
travelers were not Chinese.
WILCOCK: Now, these mummies
were very curious
in that some of them have
what the biologists
call Europoid features.
This means they have
angular faces.
They have recessed eyes.
They have white skin.
They have elongated bodies,
and they have curly hair
that can be red, blonde,
or dark brown.
When they've actually tested
the mitochondrial DNA
of these mummies,
they find Haplogroups M and K,
which are actually
genetic DNA markers suggesting
Western European
genetic lineage.
However, there is a problem.
There are anomalies in the DNA.
There are things
that do not add up...
...to any known surviving relics
of genetic information
that we have from anywhere else.
This suggests that these people
may in fact be
extraterrestrials.
NARRATOR:
Could the mysterious mummies
discovered at the Tarim Basin
really be of alien origin?
And might it also be possible
that the giant being
Meng Zhaoguo encountered
in his home in 1994
is a member
of the same alien race?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and suggest
further proof can be found
by examining the evidence
discovered
at one of China's
most secret pyramids.
WILCOCK:
Why would the pipes
be specifically
going up to a pyramid
on the top of a mountain?
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Is it possible
that Mount Baigong
was some kind of
extraterrestrial base?
NARRATOR:
Shaanxi Province, China, 1947.
Colonel Maurice Sheahan,
the Far East director
for Trans World Airlines...
...is flying over Central China,
when he spots
a white jewel-topped structure
that he estimates to be
a 1,000-foot-high pyramid.
HENRY: Colonel Maurice Sheahan
looks down
and he sees a giant pyramid
that he says is larger
than the Great Pyramid of Giza.
He reports this
to The New York Times
and it causes a sensation.
NARRATOR:
On March 27, 1947,
Colonel Sheahan's eyewitness
account is circulated worldwide
when The New York Times
reports his story and
two days later a photograph
of the mysterious structure
is printed.
HENRY:
Since then, 37 more pyramids
have been sighted
in this area of China,
including the mausoleum
of the first Chin emperor,
where we find the incredible
terra-cotta warriors.
It suggests that ancient China
was a place where pyramid
building was rampant.
VON DANIKEN:
It was always known
that there were pyramids
in China,
but only in the last,
uh, decades,
Chinese archaeologists start
to publish books
about these pyramids.
They are all related
to the original rulers.
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists contend not only that
the formations found in Xian
are pyramids, but also that
another structure
discovered here
points to a connection
to the heavens.
In the summer of 1999,
the oldest known altar used
in Chinese state religious
practice was unearthed in Xian
by the Chinese Academy
of Social Sciences.
It is estimated that
17 Chinese emperors conducted
religious rites at
the so-called Altar of Heaven
that dates back
to at least 581 AD.
VON DANIKEN: All
the Chinese kings communicated
with the extraterrestrials,
the gods from heaven,
on the so-called
Altar of Heaven.
But the same stone structure,
with different ring
about the main altar,
we find in Peru,
over the city of Saksaywaman.
And, the rulers of the Inca
were, of course again,
the descendants from heaven,
like in China.
It's incredibly unique
that you have Muyuq Marka
in Peru,
and the Altar of Heaven
in China,
coming from two
very different cultures,
two different time periods,
that you have so many unique
similarities between
these two structures,
and they're both used
for communication with the gods.
Could that suggest that
these ancient cultures
were trying to worship
and venerate
the same extraterrestrial gods
that may have visited
this planet in ancient times?
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the mysterious structures
found in and around
the city of Xian, China,
were used by ancient rulers
to connect
with otherworldly beings?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that another,
even more mysterious pyramid,
can be found
roughly 500 miles west of Xian
in the province of Qinghai,
atop Mount Baigong.
In 2003 a team of Chinese
scientists went to Tibet
and investigated
the infamous Mount Baigong...
...which has,
as they discovered,
a 200-foot-tall pyramid
at the top of the mountain.
There was a system of caves
inside that had triangular faces
at the openings of the caves
on three areas,
and they found a variety
of rusty pieces
that were around the pyramid.
CHILDRESS: Mount Baigong appears
to be an artificial pyramid
with three triangular entrances
going inside
this mountain pyramid,
and inside are all of these
metallic pipes.
The floor of these caves
are littered
with metallic parts.
It's like this was
some kind of base.
NARRATOR: According
to ancient astronaut theory,
the reason that pyramids
are found all over the world
from Egypt,
to Peru,
to Mexico
is because our ancestors
were taught to build
these structures
by extraterrestrial visitors.
If the mysterious pipe-shaped
objects found at Mount Baigong
were artificially manufactured
with advanced technology,
could this be definitive proof
of alien intervention
in the distant past?
In Chinese mythology,
the Kunlun Mountain was said
to be the center of the Earth,
and it was supposedly
a-a huge pillar
of jade and jasper
and precious gems that
reached up into the sky.
STEAVU: Mount Kunlun
is a mythical mountain
that is an axis mundi,
which is a central pillar
around which the entire
universe revolves.
This is a connector
between Earth and
the rest of the universe.
It's where celestial beings can
communicate with earthly beings.
You have to wonder
if Mount Baigong is not
this mythical Kunlun Mountain
that was some
kind of extraterrestrial base
that spanned Earth
and the stars.
NARRATOR: Could it be
that extraterrestrials
visited China
thousands of years ago
and left behind remnants
from an ancient base?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest China's biggest secrets
may not be on top
of its greatest peaks,
but beneath its darkest depths.
TSOUKALOS: He discovered
an underwater city,
dwellings
at the bottom of a lake.
Did some kind of advanced
civilization exist
beneath Fuxian Lake?
NARRATOR:
Fuxian Lake.
Yunnan Province, China, 1992.
Expert diver,
Geng Wei, descends into this
remote lake and discovers
a surprising phenomenon.
The bottom is littered
with hand-carved flagstones
and other stone relics.
The mysterious stones
lie scattered on the bottom
of China's second deepest
freshwater lake,
which covers an area
of 100 square miles
with a depth of 509 feet.
What he saw was
quite extraordinary.
Hand-dressed flagstones,
roads, buildings.
And it's as if he discovered
an underwater city.
That clearly has evidence
of dwellings
at the bottom of a lake.
It was built when
there wasn't a lake,
and that would mean that
we're talking about a time
before the last ice age,
which would bring
the story of Fuxian Lake
way more into the remote past
than what we're being told.
CHILDRESS:
Geng Wei made over 35 dives
in Fuxian Lake,
and they even took a submarine
down into this lake
to find stairs
and more of these flagstones
and walls beneath this lake.
So you have to wonder,
did some kind of advanced
civilization exist
at one time beneath Fuxian Lake?
NARRATOR:
In 2001, archaeologists
from the Yunnan
Provincial Museum
used advanced sonar scanners
and cameras
to conduct the monumental task
of surveying Fuxian Lake.
The evidence collected convinced
Chinese archaeologists
they had discovered structures
of an advanced civilization,
including an arena-type building
and pyramids.
This mysterious
sunken city covers
more than one square mile,
but the questions remain.
Who built it and why?
The pyramid itself
is very unusual
and it's-- it-it is said
that the pyramid
is as old as
the Egyptian pyramids are
and maybe even higher
than some of them.
It's an incredible discovery.
CHILDRESS:
Ancient Chinese records
speak of a city in the area
of Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan.
However, studies
of the underwater structures
at Fuxian Lake show that
it's actually much older
than this Yuyuan city.
Could this be the remains
of some ancient
and advanced society that was
destroyed in the Great Flood?
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that an extraterrestrial base
is located deep underwater?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest USOs,
or unidentified
submersible objects,
have been well chronicled
in ancient Chinese texts.
REDFERN:
According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi,
a book written during the reign
of Emperor Daoguang
in the Qing Dynasty,
a horse-like monster
lived in the lake.
The animal was described
as being white
with red spots on its back.
More intriguingly,
it was a creature
that could actually
take to the skies.
This suggests it may have been
part USO, part UFO.
That's to say,
an underwater submersible object
and also an unidentified
flying object.
NARRATOR:
October 24, 1991.
A local fisherman named
Zhang Yuxiang was fishing
on Fuxian Lake during
a clear and tranquil day,
when a dense fog suddenly rolled
across the vast body of water.
In 1991,
Zhang Yuxiang, a fisherman,
was at Fuxian Lake
when he encountered a UFO.
Now, this strange craft
actually emerged
from the waters of the lake.
He described it
as a shining disc.
This UFO was so close
and so powerful
that it actually tossed
the boat around.
And then rapidly this craft just
disappeared up into the sky.
Lake Fuxian is clearly a-an area
where there have been many
strange events over the years.
NARRATOR:
Could the flying dragon
that carried the Yellow Emperor
described
in ancient Chinese texts
and the USO witnessed
by Zhang Yuxiang
be the same alien craft?
And if so, is it possible
that an extraterrestrial base
exists at the bottom
of Fuxian Lake?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and claim strange sightings
in China
have become so numerous
that soon the government
will no longer be able
to hide the truth.
REDFERN:
When the UFO was seen,
all hell broke loose.
HENRY:
Thousands of Chinese people
flocked to social media
with photos
of UFOs flying over China.
NARRATOR:
Foshan, China.
October 7, 2015.
Above this sprawling metropolis,
thousands of shocked
residents witness
an astonishing spectacle...
a city hovering in the clouds.
The apparition of a cityscape
is unmistakable and remains
in the sky for several minutes,
long enough to be captured
on video,
which is broadcast
on Chinese television
and subsequently disseminated on
social media across the globe.
REDFERN:
Numerous people reported seeing
what looked like
skyscraper-type buildings
in the clouds high in the sky.
It was an amazing spectacle.
There's just no other way
to describe it.
NARRATOR:
While Chinese officials
denounced the phenomenon
as an elaborate hoax, to date,
no one has been able to prove
that the footage
is not authentic,
and the video
is backed up by the reports
of numerous eyewitnesses.
But some argue that even
if the footage is genuine,
it can be explained
by an optical illusion
known as Fata Morgana.
So, one theory about
what this could have been
is something known
as a Fata Morgana,
and, uh, that's a-an illusion
type of effect.
Think of a mirage,
in which you're seeing something
close to the horizon,
and it'll give an effect
of something
that's-that's not there.
It's an atmospheric illusion.
The reason that I don't think
that this is
a Fata Morgana effect
is because this is way
too high up to be one.
Using the idea that
this is some type
of inversion layer
to somehow broadcast or enhance
the idea of a cityscape
in the sky just doesn't hold up.
So, there could in fact
have been some type
of a large mother ship
or some craft in the sky.
This isn't new.
Now, just a few days later,
over 800 miles away,
we had another sighting of
this exact same phenomenon.
So, it stands to reason that
there was some type of
physical presence in the sky.
If we assume that the vision
n the sky
that was seen in Foshan
by thousands of people
was just some kind of
optical illusion,
I find it highly coincidental
that the same vision is seen
hundreds of miles away
a few days later
in another city called Jiangxi,
also witnessed
by thousands of people.
NARRATOR:
Could thousands of people
across China have really
witnessed
some type of alien base
or mother ship
floating in the sky?
And if so, might it be evidence
of extraterrestrials
making their presence known?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
there have been many more cases
of alien entities appearing in
the skies above China.
Cases that the government
could not ignore.
Zhejiang Province, China.
July 7, 2010.
Just after 8:40 p.m.,
the Hangzhou Xiaoshan
International Airport,
which serves over 70,000
passengers a day,
is suddenly shut down.
All outbound flights
are grounded,
and inbound flights
are diverted to nearby airports.
The cause of the shutdown was
an unidentified flying object
seen streaking
across the night sky
by a flight crew preparing
for descent.
Xiaoshan Airport is one
of the largest in China.
And that's very important.
It's a very busy airport.
What happened on July 7 is that
a pilot from an incoming
passenger airplane
noticed something very unusual
coming towards him.
He notified the ground crew
and the airport was shut down
because a comet-like object
was basically speeding
towards the airport.
There was a trail behind it.
It was a glowing,
oval-shaped object.
NARRATOR: The object was also
witnessed and photographed
by numerous Hangzhou residents.
When the UFO was seen,
all hell broke loose.
Flights were diverted.
The military was contacted
to see if they were test-flying
anything in the air,
which they weren't.
This is the third such incident
in five years in China
where the presence of a UFO
has either shut down an airport
or caused havoc and amazement
amongst the populus.
And it's clearly something
that the Chinese government
want to shut down and play down.
It could also be due to the fact
that the Chinese have realized
they're not in control of their
airspace, somebody else is.
(speaking Chinese)
(translated): The Xiaoshan event
is only one of the events
of this kind.
The same thing happened
in Guizhou Province.
At that time, the pilots were
instructed to avoid the UFO,
ground their aircrafts
and return to the air
after the event,
which can provide evidence
of the existence
of the UFO phenomenon.
NARRATOR:
While many in the United States
view the UFO phenomenon
as distinctly American,
recent surveys have shown
that roughly half of the
1.4 billion Chinese people
believe in UFOs
and extraterrestrial life.
And ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
that despite the Chinese
government's dismissal
of recent UFO events,
it now appears
they too are taking an interest
in otherworldly phenomena.
It's incredibly popular
in China to be a member
of a UFO community
that's trying to make contact
with extraterrestrial beings.
The Chinese government
is closely monitoring this
and in fact they're financing
some of these research groups.
So, one wonders,
is the Chinese government
starting to view
our contact with
extraterrestrial beings
as something simply
too strong to deny?
NARRATOR: Could recent events be
forcing the Chinese government
to take a greater interest
in examining possible
extraterrestrial encounters?
Encounters that they have
secretly known about for years?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest that China's effort
to manufacture
the world's largest
radio telescope
is an explicit mission towards
the search for alien life.
NARRATOR
Guizhou Province, China.
2011.
Construction commences
on a massive engineering
and scientific endeavor.
A 500-meter telescope,
also known as FAST.
Nan Rendong, chief scientist
of the FAST project states,
"A radio telescope is
like a sensitive ear,
separating radio messages from
white noise in the universe."
The Chinese government
is currently constructing
what will be the largest radio
telescope anywhere in the world.
The reflector dish will be
500 meters in diameter
and this will dwarf any other
comparable facility.
It will be the best piece of
equipment for 20 or 30 years
when it comes
to radio astronomy.
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists
point to the construction
of this behemoth telescope
as proof that China is deeply
interested in extraterrestrials.
Do they know there are aliens
out there?
Are they trying to get absolute,
verifiable proof positive
and be the first nation
to disclose?
The Chinese government was very
clear in stating
that this dish was built
specifically
for the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence.
So then the question arises,
are they merely following up
on their history?
Because China,
as with every other
ancient culture,
was visited
by extraterrestrials.
What is their interest
in exploring deep space?
NARRATOR: The telescope
was completed in July of 2016
and is regarded
as a giant leap forward
with unprecedented precision
that will allow
the Chinese government to survey
not only the Milky Way
but also distant galaxies
for radio signals
and signs of life.
While many other nations
are currently designing
or constructing
advanced radio telescopes,
none will surpass
the size and capability
of the FAST telescope.
Wu Xiangping, director-general
of the Chinese Astronomical
Society, declared,
"It will help us to search
for intelligent life
"outside the galaxy
and explore the origins
of the universe."
POPE: Out there somewhere might
civilizations
be posting scientific
and technical information
that they've discovered?
And the first nation
to download this information
will have a huge advantage.
They'll be the dominant force
on this planet
for the foreseeable future.
Do the Chinese want to be first?
Do they know it's out there?
And is this radio telescope
an attempt to go
and get that information?
(speaking Chinese)
(translated): I think it's good
and encouraging that our country
is constructing
such a huge telescope.
It will help to find aliens
and alien civilization.
STONEHILL:
For thousands of years,
Chinese people have collected
reports about UFO encounters
and have recorded them.
And those who studied are amazed
at the accuracy
and just the sheer wealth
of the UFO information
coming from China,
and I hope this will continue.
TSOUKALOS:
As China slowly opens its doors,
is it possible that we'll
encounter that the stories
of the Yellow Emperor
are in fact true?
That they were visited
by extraterrestrial beings
in the remote past?
Only time will tell.
Could it be that China
is building the world's
largest radio telescope
not in hopes of finding proof
of alien life in the universe
but in order to welcome new
messages from extraterrestrials
that have been visiting China
for thousands of years?
And could stories
of flying dragons,
Yellow Emperors,
and the existence of strange,
secret pyramids
be the proof that
ancient astronaut theorists
have been looking for?
One thing is certain--
the evidence of extraterrestrial
contact is mounting.
And the ultimate close encounter
could soon happen
right before our eyes.
