Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 13, Episode 4 - Earth's Black Holes - full transcript

Strange, unnatural forces...

This is when you experienced
the time vortex?

That's when it started.

Mysterious disappearances...

They find tracks in the snow.

The tracks stop
in the middle of the lake.

He completely disappeared.

Could black holes

not only be found
in the universe,

but also here on Earth?

And if so, could
they be facilitating



extraterrestrial visitation?

Eventually, it rips the
fabric of space and time.

And that's where
all hell breaks loose.

Menlo Park, California.

May 2017.

Scientists working

at the SLAC National
Accelerator Laboratory

fire the world's most
powerful x-ray laser

at a molecule.

They were looking
to see what would happen

if you took an atom
with a lot of electrons

and hit it
with a high-energy X ray.

Could you knock the electrons
out of orbit around the atom



and produce something
that had very few electrons?

But the system behaved
very differently than expected.

At first,
the experiment goes as planned.

Electrons are knocked out
of their orbits like pinballs.

But then, in one quadrillionth
of a second,

a powerful force
sucks electrons into a void,

and the molecule
dramatically explodes.

It would suddenly start
sucking in all the electrons

from the rest of the molecule

in a manner that they just
had not anticipated.

The electrons
were then compressed

and then drew other electrons
into the process.

And, by golly,
it looked like a black hole.

A black hole?

A region of space

that exhibits such a strong
gravitational field

that nothing, not even light,
can escape from it?

Fundamentally,
they're just a lot of mass

crammed into a very small space.

What does that mean?

That means there's a very strong
gravitational field around them.

Light can't even escape.

And that's where it gets
the name "black hole."

When one puts in spin

into the black hole equations,

one gets a much more exotic
phenomenon.

What happens then
is you get a vortex

around the black hole, a
vortex of space-time.

And here we actually saw

something that resembled
a black hole,

except it wasn't gravitational.

It was electromagnetic.

That is, it used the power
of laser beams.

Now, how's that possible?

Well, it turns out
that in Einstein's theory,

not just gravity,
but any form of energy...

If it's concentrated enough...

Could become a black hole.

For decades,
since their discovery,

scientists have long believed

that black holes could
only exist in outer space.

But if that were true,

how is it
that they can be simulated

in an Earth-based laboratory?

Normally,
when we think of black holes,

we think of a collapsed star
and a great mass.

But with these new experiments,
it's showing us

that black holes can be created
in different ways,

including
with electromagnetic energy

or high-energy pulses
in a laboratory.

And so, therefore,

black holes
could be in any place.

There's areas around the Earth

that we don't understand,

that have
unusual characteristics

similar to a black hole,
and so it's possible

that these places
are also black holes.

If black holes
can exist here on Earth,

could their presence
help to explain

the numerous reports
of strange phenomena

going back thousands of years?

On Earth there have been stories
of people missing time

or jumping a distance
at much faster speeds

than what it would've taken
in their plane or in their boat.

And that raises the question

whether very strange things

apply in the vicinity
of a black hole.

Maybe a vortex opens.

Maybe some type of passageway

into the other realms
and dimensions

which exist all around us.

Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

that evidence of humans
taking incredible journeys

through time-space portals
exists

in ancient texts
from all over the world.

One such example
can even be found

in the Old Testament
of the Hebrew Bible

and involves the story of Moses
on Mount Sinai.

Something very bizarre
happened on Mount Sinai.

There's an ancient legend
that states

when God calls Moses to
heaven, a cloud descended.

And then it curiously states
a door opened in the cloud,

and Moses walked in.

The door closed behind him,
and he ascended.

According to the Bible,

Moses ascends
for 40 days and 40 nights.

Does not eat,
does not drink, does not sleep.

40 days passed for us on Earth.

How much time passed
for Moses in heaven?

What was the opening
at Mount Sinai?

It sounds like the cloud

was some type
of a transportational device

within the context
of an open vortex.

The entire mountain

seemed to have been subject
to some radical alteration

of the normal physical laws
that govern us.

If this has any kind of
a literal understanding to it,

then a doorway to heaven

would have been an alteration

in the fabric of space
as we understand it today,

possibly of time itself.

In light of
our modern understandings,

we need to reinvestigate

what the Bible
is actually teaching us.

If black holes
can and do exist here on Earth,

what impact would they have?

Could they open up gateways
that, if harnessed,

would allow us
to quickly travel back and forth

through space and time?

And if so, have they been used
by extraterrestrials

to visit Earth for centuries?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

by examining ancient knowledge
about powerful vortices

carved in stone.

Space.

March 26, 2016.

The Hitomi,
an x-ray astronomy satellite

launched by the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency

just five weeks earlier,

begins spinning uncontrollably.

The on board
altitude control system

is unable to slow down
the spinning,

and over a period of hours,

the satellite breaks
into ten fragments

and is observed
tumbling out of orbit.

In the ensuing investigation,

a significant factor emerges:

the satellite's
Star Tracker system,

designed to keep it
properly oriented,

experienced glitches

whenever the satellite
passed through

a field of high radiation

known as
the South Atlantic Anomaly.

The Earth's magnetic field

is generated
deep in its interior

by motions of liquid iron
and other substances,

the thermal currents generated
by a radioactive decay

in the core, etcetera.

So it's a very complex
phenomenon.

What we see on the surface

looks like a magnetic field
of a bar magnet.

But apparently, there's
some kind of imperfection in it

that is very deep,

and it creates
a very localized reversal

of the Earth's magnetic field.

This is called
the South Atlantic Anomaly.

Astronauts flying
through this region...

Or satellites... are exposed

to a very brief
but intense field of radiation.

Comprising the area
of the magnetosphere

above much of South America
as well as the Atlantic Ocean,

the South Atlantic Anomaly
has caused problems

with spacecraft for decades.

It is for this reason

that the International
Space Station

requires extra shielding
when passing by it

and why NASA laptops have
crashed when the space shuttle

flies through
its intense levels of radiation.

When you go through
the South Atlantic Anomaly,

strange things happen.

There are flashes of light.
Electronics will malfunction.

And even spacecraft
have to be specially shielded

to go through this area.

Although scientists understand

the nature
of the South Atlantic Anomaly,

there is disagreement
as to its effects.

And there is an increased number

who believe
it may also create vortexes

that can alter
both time and space.

Nature has found
thresholds and doorways

that people
don't even know exist

that can open under these
specific circumstances.

If one can change the metric
of space-time directly

with electromagnetic fields,
then nature itself,

because of the enormous
electromagnetic fields

it develops
in weather disturbances,

for example,
could possibly create its own

electrodynamic black hole

or rotating
black hole solutions.

Many ancient astronaut theorists

support this claim and suggest

that our ancestors
were so aware of it

that they even carved
numerous representations of it

in stone all over the world.

Ing?, Brazil.

Here stands
an ancient rock formation

known as the Ing? Stone.

The formation is covered
with carved symbols

that are of unknown origin
and meaning.

But some researchers claim

to have at least partially
deciphered the carvings

and suggest they reveal
that whoever made them

had advanced knowledge
of both astronomy and physics.

In the Ing? River in Brazil,
we find this incredible

150-foot-long, 12-foot-tall
stone, the Ing? Stone.

It's covered with the most
immaculate carvings,

highly detailed
but totally mysterious.

We don't know who exactly
created them for what purpose.

They have
the most strange carvings

on the rock, on the surface.

There's also another petroglyphs
and geoglyphs

around the Ing? Stone,

and some of them
have to do with constellations:

the Southern Cross, Milky Way,

the Orion constellation,
and other constellation

that were describing in area,
as well.

Some people interpret
that the spirals around it

have to do with energy,
vortex of energy.

There is magnetic anomalies
on the Ing? Stone,

that's for sure.

We know that the Ing? Stone

contains astronomical data.

And what's interesting about
this is that the native peoples

typically didn't make
astronomical depictions.

They made depictions
of supernatural beings.

So this kind of hints us
in the idea

that maybe the origin
of this knowledge

is indeed
extraterrestrial beings.

Curiously, the Ing? Stone

is located within
the exact same geographical area

as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

Is it possible that the stone's
enigmatic carvings

were inspired by the arrival
of an ancient space traveler,

one who had landed here
centuries ago?

And if so, could
the South Atlantic Anomaly,

while perhaps the largest
and best known of its kind,

be one of many similar anomalies

that exist here on Earth?

The Bermuda Triangle.

The Devil's Sea.

Easter Island.

The Indus Valley.

These are just a few
of 12 triangular zones

spaced evenly around the globe

known for disappearances,
high energy,

and other
unexplainable phenomena.

Collectively,

they have been referred to
as the vile vortices.

The Scottish-born biologist
and cryptozoologist

and writer Ivan T. Sanderson
came up with a theory

to do with paranormal phenomena

occurring at different parts
of the world.

He believed that there
were 12 principal locations

where this would actually
take place,

and he referred to them
as the vile vortices.

In other words, that they were
quite violent in their action.

Sanderson was trying to find

an explanation to all
of these disappearances.

And it was this geometric
pattern on the Earth

that he thought was a solution
to what was going on,

and that certain spots on
the Earth were just anomalistic

and had these strange
energy patterns.

There is no question
that his work proves to me

that there's a lot more

that we don't understand
about this planet.

Whether it's natural
or some kind

of paranormal episode,
I don't know.

But there's no question
this planet

is very, very unusual when it
comes to these certain spots.

If extraterrestrials
visited Earth

in the distant past,
maybe they simply harnessed

what was already present
in the Earth.

And that they had a technology
to bring these places into

a higher energetic state
where they could use them

as black holes, or wormholes,
or for other purposes.

Is it possible that
the so-called vile vortices,

in addition to phenomena like
the South Atlantic Anomaly,

could help explain
mysterious disappearances?

And that there
are locations on Earth

where conditions are optimal

for the creation
of black holes or portals?

Areas where humans could,
without warning,

be suddenly thrust
into another space or time?

If you look at
the bottom of a black hole,

it could be a place where you
want to think of a hole,

actually, in space and time,
that reconnects somewhere else.

And so you can go through
the black hole, like a door,

or a tunnel, and end up either
in another part of the universe,

or in another actual universe.

Could extraterrestrials

have used these so-called,
"portals"

to visit the Earth
in the distant past?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

and suggest further clues
can be found

by investigating
one of the places

that in recent decades
has been the site

of more curious disappearances
than any other:

the Bermuda Triangle.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

December 5, 1945.

Five Navy Avenger
torpedo bombers,

collectively known as Flight 19,

set out on a training mission
over the Bermuda Triangle.

Without warning,
all five bombers

experience malfunctions
with their on board instruments.

They contact air control

and report their mysterious
difficulties.

All five of their compasses
were not working correctly.

They had two navigational
instruments that they could use,

and they were not
working properly, either.

It caused total confusion.

They didn't know their position,

so they did what a lot of other
pilots have done in the past:

they made a series of turns.

And that's what causes pilots
to become confused.

The planes disappeared
from radar,

and their last communication
consisted of nothing

but eerie static.

The Navy immediately launched
two seaplanes

to search
for the missing bombers.

Just 20 minutes after takeoff,
they, too, vanished.

The unusual thing is they
didn't find any parts.

No life jackets or life rafts.

Despite some claims
in more modern times

that Grumman Avengers
have been discovered

that might have been Flight 19,

the actuality
of the case is that

it is a mystery
of exactly what happened.

The disappearance of Flight 19

is one of many bizarre
and unexplainable events

that have taken place in
the area that is now known

as the Bermuda Triangle.

The Bermuda Triangle is really
located off of-of Florida.

The northern point of it
is the island of Bermuda.

It then goes down to,
essentially, southern Florida,

and then out into the Bahamas.

And this is an area
that has historically

had strange phenomenon.

It is something that goes back

all the way to the time
of Christopher Columbus

as he passed through this area,
because he found

that his compasses, strangely,
didn't work

as he passed through what we now
know as the Bermuda Triangle.

He also saw mysterious lights

in the same area
just a few days later,

after his compasses failed.

The famous Mary Celeste ship
was found

in the Bermuda Triangle without
any crew on it at all,

and no one could explain it.

What's very bizarre about some
of these instances

is that these people vanished
in front of multiple witnesses,

in circumstances that seemed
to be impossible.

It's like these people were here

and they suddenly
just blinked out,

as if they walked off
the surface of the Earth.

My guess is that you're dealing

with something
that is dimensional.

And when you go through it,

there's that possibility
you may never come back.

For decades,
scientists and researchers

have struggled to find a cause

for the mysterious
disappearances.

They are equally puzzled
by the numerous reports

of everything
from instrument failure

to compasses that, strangely,
point to true north

instead of magnetic north.

Electromagnetic phenomenon
associated with thunderstorms,

that can perhaps open up portals
in space-time

that we never
would have thought possible.

An analogy is that lightning...

...is still poorly understood.

Lightning typically carries
several million volts.

This is not sufficient voltage
to jump from a cloud,

miles above the ground,
to the ground or between clouds.

Yet, nature does it.

Combine that
with the strange location

of the Bermuda Triangle,

with the collision point of
these cold and warm currents...

You can have a playground
for exotic physics, I believe.

Might storm clouds,
lightning flashes

and powerful ocean currents

located within
the Bermuda Triangle

have unexpected,
and otherworldly effects?

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe

such an audacious theory
is possible,

and point to the story
of pilot Bruce Gernon

as the best evidence
that such incredible phenomena

can and do exist.

On December 4, 1970,
almost 25 years to the day

after the disappearance
of Flight 19...

...a pilot by the name
of Bruce Gernon

was in an aircraft flying

between Andros Island
and the island of Bimini,

when he had an absolute
incredible experience.

The controls on his plane
also went crazy.

He felt, in the end,
that somehow he had been

in the Bermuda Triangle
when it was activated.

Since that time,
researchers have been trying

to find out exactly what
happened during that flight.

In March 2018,

ancient astronaut theorist and
author David Childress traveled

to an airfield
in West Palm Beach, Florida...

- Hi.
- Hi. -...To meet face-to face

with one of the very few men

who experienced
the strange power

of the Bermuda Triangle,
and survived.

So what is our plan today?

Well, we're gonna recreate
our flight

that I had in, uh, 1970.

And I can show you
on the chart here.

We're gonna go direct
from Palm Beach

right to this curved area

of Andros Island
on the western shore.

And we're gonna go down to a
thousand feet at this point.

And that's where my experience
in 1970 began.

I am the only living person

that has flown through
the heart of it, and then exited

what I call a time-tunnel vortex
and survived.

So have you ever retraced
your flight?

I've never been
on the exact flight path

that I was
when I had this event.

And that's what I'd like
to take you through today,

the exact flight path.

Into the Bermuda Triangle.

And this isn't
a one-way flight, is it?

No sir. We'll be back.

Okay. I'm ready.

At the North
Palm Beach County Airport,

located 20 miles outside
of West Palm Beach, Florida,

author and researcher
David Childress

and professional pilot
Bruce Gernon are about

to retrace the exact path
of a mysterious flight

that Gernon made
nearly five decades ago.

It was a flight over the region

of the Atlantic Ocean known
as the Bermuda Triangle,

during which Gernon claims

to have experienced
an inexplicable shift in time.

So, Bruce, uh, it was,

it was 1970, and you were flying
out of Andros.

Who-Who was with you
on this flight?

Uh, my dad and our business
partner was with us,

and it was a routine flight,
but, uh, this is the area

where I, uh, took off
and started my ascent.

I was at a thousand feet
just like we are right now.

And I started climbing

straight out over
that bank right there.

- There it is.
- Is that it? Okay.

I don't know,
it looks kinda eerie here.

There's nothing much around,
is there?

Very remote area
of the Bahama bank.

Wow, what was that?

Did you feel that?

- Uh...
- There it is.

Ah, that was the weirdest...
Can you catch that?

Something we should maybe...

Okay. It's out of control?

It's okay, guys,
we just hit a rough spot.

We've just got a little
turbulence here.

It's turbulence.

How about that? Yeah. Wow.

I have to admit,
I'm actually glad

that-that we didn't vanish.

It's right
in this exact area here...

where it did that.

- Wow. Uh, a premonition, maybe.
- Kind of, yeah.

All right, so you... did you
think that anything strange

- was gonna happen to you that day?
- No, no.

I had no premonitions,
but this strange cloud

formed right in front of us,

and it was like
a lenticular-shaped cloud.

But it was just
sort of hovering there.

And it did look
a little strange.

As soon as I got over it,
it started expanding.

And then before you know it,
I-I'm inside the cloud.

And so now I can't see anything.

Visibility was near zero.

There was lightning in there.

It was flashes of lightning.

These flashes got more
and more intense

the deeper we went in it.

It got darker, too.

It was almost like night
and day.

My co-pilot, my dad, he said,

uh, maybe we ought to turn
around and go back to Andros.

I didn't want to turn around

and go back through this cloud

that was freaking me out,
you know?

It would've been worse.

There was no turning back,
you felt.

I said to my dad,
"well, hold on, not yet."

Rather than turning
back for land,

Bruce decided to pull out
of the cloud

that the plane
had become immersed in,

and continued on
his flight path.

But when he came out
of the cloud, he realized

that the situation
was even more incredible

than he first thought.

His plane was surrounded
on all sides

by a giant storm.

And there appeared
to be no way out.

I felt like we were trapped
inside this strange storm.

And then I noticed a big tunnel

about a mile wide
and ten miles long.

So I said, "oh, well,
we'll go through that."

My dad agreed.

When we entered the tunnel,

an incredible thing happened.

A series of clouds
formed a swirling line

that was slowly rotating
counterclockwise.

It felt like we
were hydroplaning.

Somehow we were at zero gravity.

We were floating
and going forward somehow.

And I came out of the tunnel,
I looked back behind

and I watched
the tunnel collapse.

The radar controller
comes back on the microphone,

and he's-he's yelling
really loud.

He's all excited. He says,

"I got an airplane
directly over Miami Beach."

So I look at my watch.

"No, I got another 30 minutes
to go here.

"Uh, I'm, uh,

"at least 80 miles
east of you guys," I tell him.

But then I look down,

and there's Miami Beach
right below me.

I traveled 100 miles
in only three minutes.

100 miles?

In three minutes?

Bruce's plane would have
to have been traveling

2,000 miles per hour

to cross that distance
in such a short amount of time,

a speed that his small plane

was not even remotely
capable of.

But the people on the plane,
they're...

except for a little bit of mist
and fog around them, they're...

they don't really notice
anything strange is happening.

No, they didn't notice
anything strange.

But, uh, all their watches
were set back 20 minutes.

I believe now
that what was happening

was I-I was seeing
the fabric of time.

And I believe that is what

creates the mystery
of the Bermuda Triangle.

Could it be

that the so-called tunnel
that Bruce describes

was actually some type
of electromagnetic vortex,

one that, like a black hole,

could alter both time and space?

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the answer is a resounding
yes, and they argue

that even more evidence
can be found

by studying
ancient disappearances

not only of individuals,

but of an entire civilization.

Easter Island.

Located in the Pacific Ocean,

over 2,000 miles
off the coast of Chile,

this remote island was once home
to the Rapa Nui people,

who, after flourishing
for hundreds of years,

seemed to mysteriously disappear

sometime in the 18th century.

It seems, at some point,

it may be as much
as 10,000 people

lived there at its peak.

But about 100 years later,

when more Europeans started
showing up on a regular basis,

it seemed to be down
to about 1,500 people.

So something happened
at Easter Island

to seriously decrease
their population.

While mainstream
historians have long debated

the cause of the mass
disappearance of the Rapa Nui,

ancient astronaut theorists
believe

it may have something to do
with Easter Island being located

in one of the 12 areas
that were identified

by cryptozoologist
Ivan T. Sanderson

as "vile vortices,"

places on Earth where
strange electromagnetic activity

is more likely to occur.

We know there are places
around the world

that have an unknown energy.

Easter Island, Egypt,
Indus Valley, Mexico.

Also in Asia, in Tibet.

All around the world
in these areas

also there were built
megalithic structures.

How we can explain that?

The only possible explanation
is an ancient contact

with sophisticated alien
civilizations around the world.

The traditions of Rapa Nui are

absolutely incredible,

because their entire society
is based

on this idea
that they were seeded

by none other than the birdmen.

So what were they describing?

And so if you look at
this whole idea of the Rapa Nui,

what if the stories
of the birdmen are nothing else

but a description
of extraterrestrials

that somehow were involved

on the happenings that
were going on on Easter Island?

Extraterrestrial groups
have been terraforming

and harvesting genetic material
on this planet

for more than 270 million years.

Is that what Easter Island was,

a genetic experiment?

And maybe that's why
they were transferred out.

Is it possible
that because Easter Island,

like the Bermuda Triangle,
is located at a place

of increased electromagnetic
activity

that the area serves as a kind
of extraterrestrial portal,

a gateway which, when opened,

could allow alien beings
to come to Earth

and humans
to travel back with them?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest this phenomenon
might also happen

in every country on Earth.

Holland, Michigan,
February 18, 1978.

Steven Kubacki,
a student at Hope College,

tells his roommates he is going
out cross-country skiing.

When Steven doesn't return
by nightfall,

his roommates contact
the police,

and a massive search and rescue
operation is launched.

Two days later,
they find Steven's backpack

and his skis
sitting on the beach

to the Great Lakes.

And they walk out
and they search the area,

and they find tracks in the snow

leading out onto the ice
towards the lake.

The tracks appeared to stop
in the middle of the lake.

There was no hole.
There was nothing.

That was
just where they stopped.

He completely disappeared.

A little over a year later,

Steven Kubacki awakens
in a field

some 700 miles
from where he disappeared,

certain it was the same day as
the one when he went missing.

He had no memory of
where he had been,

or how he had travelled
across the country.

Where he was
for that one year and two months

is a complete black hole.

After months of investigation,

there was no credible evidence
that Steven Kubacki had

staged or faked
his disappearance.

So how was it that a 23-year-old
skier suddenly vanished

without a trace, only to return
just over a year later,

and with no memory of where
he had gone or for how long?

These are the questions
currently being answered

by former police detective
turned missing persons

investigator, Dave Paulides.

This is Dave.

For the past nine years,

he has been investigating
the world's most baffling

missing persons cases,
and has concluded

that there are certain places
on Earth

where unexplained
disappearances occur

in astonishingly high numbers.

I know a lot of people
throughout the world

have heard of
the Bermuda Triangle...

Missing ships and planes
over water.

I don't think many people have
heard about the disappearances

of people on land
that fit this exact profile

that we've established.

Certain profile points
replicate themselves

time after time after time.

When they bring in search dogs,
bloodhounds,

they can't pick up a scent.

They bring in
professional trackers.

They can't track point to point.

Many, many times, there's
a weather event in relationship

to the disappearance.

Other times, the person
disappears near a body of water,

or is found near
a body of water.

Other instances,
if the person is found,

they're found in a location that
has been previously searched...

Not just once,
maybe dozens of times.

They leave the searchers
scratching their head.

After examining thousands
of missing persons incidents,

Dave Paulides has identified
59 so-called "hot spots"

in the United States alone.

Places where more people appear
to vanish...

And without any signs
of foul play...

Than anywhere else
in the country.

In the work we do,
it-it's a rare event

that you find somebody
who's alive.

But in those instances, the
vast, vast majority of times,

the victim doesn't remember
what happened.

They don't know why
they got lost,

they don't know where they went,

they don't know where
they've been.

I've been very fortunate to meet
some of the smartest people

in the world
of theoretical physicists.

And during those conversations,

many times it's gone
towards portals.

And the response coming back
from the physicists was

these portals can be directed
and targeted.

Is it possible that when
people go through

these time-tunnel portals,

and they have no memory
of what went on,

it's because there's nothing
for them to have a memory of,

because, for them, it was just
an instantaneous thing?

So, I'm one of these people,

as an investigator, that lives
in the world of facts.

I don't hypothesize,
I don't theorize,

and I'm very careful about
where I tread

and who I talk to
about these things.

And when you hear from
the scientist who's credible

saying these things
could be occurring,

it makes you uncomfortable,

and it makes you wonder, really,
what might be going on.

Could mankind be on the verge

of an incredible breakthrough...

One that acknowledges
that black holes exist

not only in deep space,
but also here on Earth?

For the answers,
ancient astronaut theorists

point to additional research
being done,

not out in space
or in a laboratory,

but deep beneath
the Earth's oceans.

September 3, 2013.

Scientists from ETH Zurich
and the University of Miami

publish an incredible report.

According to their research,
they have discovered

that many circular-shaped
ocean patterns,

otherwise known as "eddies,"

are the mathematical equivalent
of black holes in space.

Mainstream scientists are now
forced to ask themselves...

Have black holes been
on Earth all along,

not only in the oceans,
but also on dry land?

Some people will say,

"Oh, we understand black holes
completely,"

and that's nonsense.

We're seeing in the universe
black hole candidates,

and they're displaying
a range of behaviors

which we hadn't anticipated.

It turns out that when you look
at the mathematics of vortices,

there's a certain universality...

That we see them when you pull
the plug in your bathtub,

you see them in hurricanes
and twisters.

You see them as a universal
feature of nature.

We are looking for solutions
to a unified

electrodynamic space-time

that will allow us
to open a portal...

A vortex portal, perhaps...

To another star system
that we can transit,

and to do that with a far lower
threshold of energy

than one would expect from
conventional black hole theory.

But if, as scientists are now
beginning to discover,

black holes can provide gateways
through time and distance

not only in outer space,
but on our own planet,

could they also be controlled?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

the answer is a resounding yes.

And they argue that Earth's
black holes have been controlled

for thousands of years,

and by beings that are not
of this world.

We have to think of these vortex
areas around the Earth

as something that is useful...

That if extraterrestrials
and other people

can manipulate
these vortex areas,

that we could do that, too.

Physicists are always
talking about

our strange
and beautiful universe.

But our Earth is pretty strange
and beautiful, too.

And maybe these black holes on
Earth are going to be the key

to open up the gateways
to the universe for us.

This is the stuff
of science fiction.

But it's actually the border
between science fact

and science fiction.

And these are things that cannot
be ruled out.

Will the realization

that black holes exist
here on Earth

help to resolve
some of history's

most unanswered questions...

Questions concerning not only
mysterious disappearances,

but also those involving
extraterrestrial visitation?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

and suggest that mankind is
standing on the threshold

of an exciting future.

One where dreams of traveling
through time and space

will become reality,

and where contact with our
alien ancestors will unlock

the mysteries about
our ancient past.
