Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Alien Contacts - full transcript

Unearthly inspirations...

compelling ordinary people
to perform extraordinary acts.

They've thought it best to use members

of the human population to
communicate their message.

Heavenly visitations...
inspiring everything from war to peace.

They could have imparted that information

to Joan of Arc to give her the
confidence that ultimately led

her military campaign to victory.

And close encounters...
that leave behind

mysterious clues to our past...
and our future.

I thought, "It's not gonna come out to



anything," and then something
that appeared to be a real

message regarding aliens emerged.

Millions of people
around the world believe we

have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really
shape our history?

And if so, have they been helped
by individuals among us...

chosen to communicate important messages?

# Ancient Aliens 2x10 #
Alien Contacts
Original Air Date on December 30, 2010

Rendlesham Forest.

Suffolk County, England.

80 miles northeast of London.

During the Cold War, more than
12,000 American officers and

enlisted men were stationed
at two Air Force bases on the



forest's northern and southern edges:
RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge.

Shortly after midnight on
December 26, 1980, military

radar detected an
unidentified flying object.

And there were civilian reports of
strange, flickering lights in the sky.

Within minutes, military
policemen, including Staff

Sergeant James Penniston and
Airman First Class John

Burroughs, were sent into
the woods to investigate.

What they encountered was
something the experienced

servicemen had never seen before.

By the dissipating light, I started

seeing a silhouette of a triangular craft.

It was completely black in
color, except for these

occasional bits of blue and orange light
and yellow light running through it.

There was blue lights.

There was like an orange spear above it.

There was a white light that
would come out underneath it,

and then there was like
a misty orange haze.

In his report,
Sergeant Penniston described the

strange craft's dimensions as
roughly six and a half feet tall

with nine-foot sides.

He also noted unusual markings...
raised symbols similar to

Egyptian hieroglyphs.

I was expecting to find, I
don't know, USAF, something like that.

And what I find is glyphs, pictorial
glyphs, making no sense at all.

Then I was running my hand over
the side of the craft, it was

very warm to touch.

Upon touching the craft, the 26-year-old

serviceman claimed he received
a strange and powerful vision.

It's ones and zeros,
and ones and ones, and...

it just makes no sense.

Take my hands off it... it stopped.

And then, uh...
then there was a bright flash of light.

And then at that
point whatever it was appeared

to go up in the air and take off
and go back towards the coast.

And we didn't have any more contact.

Penniston and
Burroughs were ordered by the

deputy base commander to treat
the alleged sighting as if it

had never happened.

Still, after three decades,
James Penniston remains haunted

by his strange vision.

So much so, that he felt compelled
to keep a written record of it.

A record he kept locked
away for nearly 30 years.

It's like, like
someone was holding a picture

up, okay, of this, zeros and ones and...
I could see it in my mind's eye, okay?

So I recorded those one afternoon.

What do they mean? I don't know.

More and more scientists
feel that contacting...

Could the strange
numbers from James Penniston's

vision be some type of
extraterrestrial code?

If so, Penniston would not be
the first to claim to have

received messages from
otherworldly visitors.

In fact, history is filled with
accounts of people compelled

into action by contact with
what they claim to be an

extraterrestrial, divine
or supernatural being.

Abraham... Mohammed... and St.
Paul are described as

having been inspired by visits from God.

Moses... Confucius...
and the legendary Cambodian figure

Preah Pisnokar are said to have
met strange visitors who passed

along moral codes and philosophies.

God chose them because of their integrity,

because of their faith.

Men that were leaders that God had
chosen to put in certain positions.

People respected those leaders.

And people knew that
they were people of God.

According to the ancient astronaut

hypothesis, visions are not divine at all.

They were, in fact, visits by
extraterrestrials where our

ancestors thought it was a
vision, but it never was.

The person didn't quite
comprehend that he or she was

visited by flesh and
blood extraterrestrials.

Perhaps the best known
example of a man receiving

specific instructions from an
extraterrestrial source can be

found in the story of Moses.

According to the biblical
book of "Exodus," Moses first

encountered God in the
form of a burning bush.

It was here that he was given
his mission: to deliver the

Hebrew people out of slavery in Egypt...
and into the Promised Land.

Later, at Mount Sinai, after
he had safely brought the Jews

into the desert, he was handed
the Ten Commandments as laws

given to man, directly by God.

Eventually, these moral
codes were the foundation

of a whole worldwide religion.

But to ancient
astronaut theorists, the story

of Moses may be interpreted as not only
a divine, but also an alien, encounter.

According to the Old
Testament, Moses went up on

Mount Sinai to meet with
quote-unquote "God".

And I quote, "And they saw the
God of Israel, and there was

under his feet, as it were, a
paved work of sapphire stone.

And it was like the very heavens
in its radiating clarity."

And my question is, does
something like this exist, or

was it some sort of a
misunderstood metallic ramp?

But it gets even better.

Moses actually describes
Earth seen from outer space.

The quote is, "Thereupon I saw
the whole round of the Earth,

at once the depth of the Earth and
the vast altitudes of the heavens."

I mean, here he describes
Earth as being round.

At the time, that should've not been known,
according to mainstream scientists.

Is it possible that
Moses was inspired by a force

not only from the heavens
but from another world?

If so, is it possible that
other divine inspirations have

also had otherworldly origins?

Puccini said that his great opera, Madama

Butterfly, was from God... that
he wrote it down... but it came

directly from a divine source.

William Blake, whose entire
opus, his writing and painting,

was based on repeated angelic visitations.

Brahms said that his music came
from something beyond himself.

He was the one who wrote it
down, but he had to give credit

to something beyond himself.

Could great works
of art, music, literature,

and religion really have been gifts
to humanity from other worlds?

If so, then why weren't these
gifts given directly from

aliens to man, instead of being
communicated through human intermediaries?

Perhaps an answer... like many
alien messages... can be found

in one of the oldest, and
holiest, places on Earth.

If, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe,

extraterrestrial beings have
been contacting us throughout

the centuries, then what are
they trying to tell us?

It appears, again and again, that here on

Earth we're dealing with
something that could be

called the hidden directorate...
a directing force of

intelligent beings, who may
even be our progenitors...

and have been working with
humanity ever since we began

evolving on this planet, and
will intervene, at key points,

to try to nudge our development
in a certain direction.

Why were some of our
ancestors told to construct

a building...
or to build an ark?

Personally, I think, to
ensure mankind's survival.

There are stories of malevolent gods,
of malevolent extraterrestrials.

But, by and large, the stories
that we have from ancient

times, the gods were
actually very benevolent.

And these extraterrestrials
have helped us throughout

the millennia to survive to this day.

One of the oldest
and most widespread stories

of divine or unearthly
intervention in human events

can be found in the
many great flood myths.

There are flood myths all
over the world, not just in the Bible.

You can find them all
throughout South America.

You can find them in Native
American traditions.

You find them in the Celtic traditions;
the legend of the Ragnarok; the deluge.

It's in Asia.

Native Africans have flood myths.

So the story of Noah is not
an isolated event that only

happens in the Bible; it's
part of a bigger story.

The oldest documented flood myth is the

story of Utnapishtim in
the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The ancient Sumerian tale was
discovered on a series of clay

tablets dating back thousands of years.

Utnapishtim has a story
which is almost identical

to the story of Noah.

There's only a few slight differences.

In the Utnapishtim story, the
beings that spoke to him and

warned him about this spoke
through the walls of his house,

and his house then became the
craft that was used to evacuate.

Like Noah, Utnapishtim
collected every type

of animal in anticipation of the flood.

But could it have really been
possible to collect every

type of animal and fit them
all in a single craft?

Or might the ark have been a
metaphor for another, much more

advanced, and extraterrestrial,
form of transportation device?

The ark in the Sumerian
story is shaped like a cube.

We now have physicists that are
developing hyperdimensional

physics models in which they're
actually plotting out the

mathematics of how these higher
dimensions are constructed and

what they look like.

It's called a tesseract.

A tesseract is a cube within a cube.

So it's possible that the cube
that was referred to in the

original Epic of Gilgamesh could
be describing a star gate

portal that used this type of
hyperdimensional geometry as a

way to ensure that Utnapishtim
and all the animals and the

people that he saved wouldn't
be here on Earth at all.

And that's how they were
able to survive the deluge.

Around the world, many
churches, temples and other

holy structures are said to
have been divinely inspired by

angels, gods, and even
beings from other worlds.

But why?

To honor and praise a supreme being...
or might there be another purpose?

Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

In the 16th century, one of the
first westerners to see this

elaborate temple, Portuguese
monk Antonio de Magdalena,

described it as an
"extraordinary construction as

like no other building in the world."

With each side measuring nearly
a mile long, Angkor Wat remains

the planet's largest religious structure.

Although mainstream
archaeologists believe Angkor

Wat was built in the 12th century,
by King Suryavarman II,

as a state temple and capital
city, Cambodian legends

maintain it was built as far
back as 600 BC by Preah

Pisnokar, the offspring of a
commoner father and a mother

who came from the heavens.

When grown, Preah was said to
be abducted up into a flying

palace by a group of otherworldly
beings led by the god Indra.

The message Preah received was to be a

leader for his people, and a teacher.

He was taught all these
different things when he was up

at Indra's heaven, this
flying palace up in the sky.

When he came back to Earth,
after this long education,

Preah was basically the chosen
one to teach his people in the

ways of the world and the universe.

According to the myths, Preah was also

commissioned to build Angkor
Wat not just as a sanctuary of

peace and healing, but as a
landing zone for the sky beings

who taught him, referred
to as "the glowing ones".

The way it is described,
it says that no real

tools were actually used,
but just magical water.

He was able to pour this
magical water onto stone, and

after a while, it would harden into place.

Magical water?

Come on!

There is no such thing as magical water.

So my question is: what type
of technology was used?

Preah was able to build this
magnificent city with ease.

That's what the ancient texts are saying.

Angkor Wat was
more than likely built by the

hands of human beings, but
the architectural plan of

sophistication to lay out that
type of complex could not have

been engineered by human
beings alone at that time.

6,000 miles northwest of Angkor Wat,

a 15th-century French girl also
reportedly received a divine

inspiration... not to build,
but to lead men in war.

Orl?ans, France.

In 1429, the city was besieged by the
English during the Hundred Years War.

The survival of the French military
and government appeared doomed.

Then, 17-year-old Joan of Arc
traveled to Ch?teau-Chinon,

where she persuaded the local
leaders that the Saints Michael,

Catherine and Margaret had
visited her and told her that

her presence in Orl?ans would inspire
the French army to break the siege.

The Joan of Arc story
is a fabulous tale of a vision

really affecting history in a
practical and concrete way.

France was in bad trouble.

This sensitive soul and very
young girl has the vision of

saints that come to her and tell her
to lead an army and free a city.

She does so.

She also has some prophecy from
these visitations that she is

able to end the siege of a
major city and make major

contributions to history... all because
these saints came to her in a vision.

While Joan served primarily as a military

figurehead, she also designed
new artillery tactics and

repeatedly outsmarted the more
experienced English commanders.

But did her mysterious visions
actually come from heaven?

Or might the French teenager
have received, as ancient

astronaut theorists suggest, a type of
advanced extraterrestrial knowledge?

If this is, in fact,
what was happening, then it

would lead one to conclude that
the hidden directorate decided

that the way the world would
turn out if this battle had not

been won in favor of the French
would have been an extremely

negative outcome for humanity.

So Joan of Arc was then
contacted by a luminous

extraterrestrial being that
could have imparted that

information to Joan of Arc to
give her the confidence that

ultimately led her military
campaign to victory.

If extraterrestrial
beings have inspired and

affected human events, then is
it really, as some suggest,

to help improve humanity?

Or could there be another, perhaps
darker and more sinister, agenda?

Hissarlik.

Northwestern Turkey.

More than 3,000 years ago, this
was the walled city of Troy.

According to Greek mythology,
Troy was the site of a horrific

war between the Trojans and the Achaeans
that was manipulated by the gods.

Thousands upon thousands of people died,

and the city of Troy is totally destroyed.

It's hard to imagine when you
read stories like this, of gods

asking people to go to war,
do things they wouldn't want to

do... it's hard to imagine that
they want what's best for us.

In my opinion, extraterrestrials are just

like humans, so, of course,
extraterrestrials also would take sides.

They would take sides with certain people
and make enemies with other people.

But when bad things
happen to good people, does it

suggest that alien visitors are
capable of having evil intent?

Or does it simply suggest the presence
of bad aliens, as well as good ones?

You look back through
these stories... some of which

have to do with actual
historical events that led to

blood, guts, destruction... and
you say to yourselves, "Maybe

they don't want what's best for us.

Maybe their values and concerns have
absolutely nothing to do with ours."

Just like there are
good people and bad people

here on Earth, there is good and
bad extraterrestrials out there.

Not everything is hunky-dory out there.

Good and evil permeates
the entire universe.

Yin and yang.

There's a balance.

I'm not sure it's always that cut and dry.

In the Book of Exodus, some
translations say an angel

killed all the firstborn Egyptians.

Some say that "the Lord"... and
I put that in quotations... uh,

slaughtered the firstborn
Egyptian, uh, sons.

Hard to reconcile that, at least
in my perspective, that a

benevolent, loving God would
have angels to slaughter

innocents, to slaughter kids.

Half a world away from
the Mediterranean, across

the Atlantic, another massacre
of innocents was said to have

been directed by the gods.

Tenochtitl?n, Mexico.

500 years ago, this was the
capital of the Aztec Empire.

During the 15th century AD, the
high priest Tlacaelel claims to

have received a command from the
gods in the form of a dream.

His people were to perform
human sacrifices.

The Aztecs are like so
many other civilizations on this planet.

For them, dreams were the primary means
of communication with the other world.

So interpreting the dreams was
the central thing which the high

priests had to do.

Now, the question is, why did he do this?

Is this just something
Tlacaelel invented, or is it

really the fact that he had a
dream whereby this new and

brutal regime somehow had to
be imposed upon his people?

But if, as ancient
astronaut theorists maintain,

there are malevolent gods... or
evil extraterrestrials... does

that suggest we have something to fear?

Or might the evil be found not in the
message, but with the messenger?

The possibility that
some messages that were

sent by extraterrestrials
have been received and

misinterpreted is... is fairly
large, because our ancestors

thought that these messages
were sent by godlike beings,

by divine creatures, which they never were.

Now, there's quite a bit of evidence, even

contemporary, of people
committing murders or about

to commit murders who believe
that either God spoke to them

or something else, and we
actually find in many cases

that this is not the case,
that this is delusion.

In the Bible's Book
of Genesis, God instructs

Abraham to kill his only son, Isaac.

But was this command really
given by God, or might Abraham

have received multiple messages
from more than one being?

Might it actually be, in origin, a sort of

conversation whereby Abraham
and Isaac are not subjected to

one deity but to more than one
deity giving them contradictory

messages, whereby one being
might be saying, "Kill your son",

and the other being might be saying
"Don't kill your son"?

Are we in fact maybe confronted
with two warring civilizations

or two warring tribes?

And I really do think that the gods,

the extraterrestrials, knew 100%

what they were doing.

Just like when we arrive on
a different planet and we

achieve instant godlike status,
we'll use that to our advantage.

We're not gonna say to them,
"Oh, no, no, no, we're like you."

We'll say, "Yes.

You obey us or else."

And that is exactly what happened
here on Earth 10,000 years ago.

For ancient astronaut theorists, one fact

is certain: after contact is
established, the fate of the

human messenger is not
always a pleasant one.

After her capture by the
English army, Joan of Arc

burned at the stake as a heretic.

Saint Paul, who converted to
Christianity after a divine

apparition, was later
executed by the Romans.

And Moses led his people
through the desert for 40 years,

but could not enter
the Promised Land himself.

Anytime God choose a
particular person to do a

particular job, you're always
gonna have opposition.

Moses had opposition,
you know, with Pharaoh.

And Paul, of course, was stoned.

Those outside entities, those
forces that came against them,

that was the burden, so to speak.

Some people who might
have received conceivable

messages by extraterrestrials
are at first fearful that they

might have to upend their lives,
or even worse, be called crazy.

But could the fear
of ridicule or death on the

part of human messengers
explain why there are not more

alien messages that get transmitted?

Or might many of those who have
experienced extraterrestrial

contacts have closed their eyes
or shut their ears, simply

because the truth may be
too incredible to bear?

Billions of people
around the world consider holy

books like the Bible and the
Koran to be the word of God.

Hundreds of millions of Hindus
view the Mahabharata as a guide

to spiritual enlightenment handed down
by the god, Lord Krishna himself.

Each of these holy books
contains religious principles

in the form of philosophies,
parables and moral codes.

Messages from beyond our
ordinary knowledge seem to

come in a variety of forms: a
visitation, a dream, sometimes

an object, a tablet,
a golden plate, a book.

And so it helps.

A book is an ordinary object
we are familiar with.

And yet, if it's seen as
divinely inspired, we can take

it as more than an ordinary book.

The great majority of mankind today

regards the Bible, the Torah and
the Koran as the word of God.

But is it possible that these
books were nothing else but

guiding books of how we should
conduct our lives and that these

moral codes were, in fact, given
to us by extraterrestrials whom

our ancestors thought were gods?

I don't think the
Mahabharata is a work of fiction.

It's an actual history.

And the history given in the
Mahabharata includes not only

actions of human beings on Earth,
it also includes actions

of extraterrestrials on other
planets and on this Earth,

in interaction with human beings here.

Cultures all over the
world believe deities and

other nonhuman entities
frequently communicated through

intermediaries known as prophets.

In the Koran, it's written
that God has sent over 100,000

prophets throughout history.

Many Native American cultures
believed gods spoke to them

through shamans, much like the
oracles of ancient Greece.

An oracle is a person,
but a person in some

divine state, an altered state
of some kind, who is able to

hear the voices of the gods
and then translate it into

accessible human language.

But could the same phenomenon apply to

Judeo-Christian religious texts?

Might biblical stories of
angels and miracles actually be

misinterpretations of ancient
alien contact or inspiration?

The visitations or
apparitions come to give some

gift... to open the mind, to lead
to a new perception, to lead to

a new possibility... either a
new artistic take on something

or a new plan for humanity.

Often, we're trapped in some
kind of thinking that needs to

break beyond its known
limits, but we're caught.

We are unable to see, to get
a transcendent perspective.

And that is what the
visitation makes possible.

If that is true,
there might be additional

evidence of alien contact by
examining breakthroughs in the

fields of astronomy,
archaeology and physics.

Or perhaps what is arguably the most
universal of all languages: mathematics.

Cambridge University, England.

February, 1913.

Mathematics professor Godfrey H. Hardy

receives a letter containing
complex mathematical

theorems and formulas from 26-year-old
Srinivasa Ramanujan of India.

The distinguished scholar is
stunned by what he reads.

Hardy looks at these theorems and says,

"My God, we've never seen anything like this.

This is mathematics of the highest order.

It's so convoluted and complex
that nobody could've come up

with this by their imagination;

there has to be something here."

An acknowledged genius
and mathematical prodigy

since childhood, Ramanujan was
devoutly religious, and often

claimed his breakthroughs were
communicated to him in his

dreams by the Hindu goddess Namagiri.

In the decades since, his
theorems have proved to be

invaluable to those working in
cutting-edge fields like string theory.

All of the science that
we need to eventually be

able to create portals, star
gate travel, hyperdimensional

access mechanisms, levitation,
teleportation... it all needs

a mathematical foundation.

And the closest that we have
right now is the Ramaianen

equations that we've been able
to decipher so far, which came

to him directly from this goddess,
who appeared to him in dreams.

Could Ramanujan have been telepathically

receiving important information
that might enable humans to

build a portal or star gate to
other dimensions or alien worlds?

If so, why?

What is the ultimate purpose of what
some believe to be alien communications?

October, 2010.

For nearly 30 years after their
alleged encounter with an

unidentified aircraft in
England's Rendelsham Forest,

retired military airmen James
Penniston and John Burroughs

rarely spoke to each other
about the incident.

Yet both men remained haunted
by their experience.

That was a life-changing
event that happened out there.

You know, the problem with life-changing
events, they affect you for your life.

I want to know what it was.

I think there's people out there
in our government that have

a better idea and they could
tell us what went on, what

happened to us, but I don't know
how to tell you for sure wh-what

it was and where it came from.

Shortly after his reported encounter,

James Penniston had felt compelled
to write down the long and complex

numerical sequence of ones
and zeros he claimed he saw

when he touched the spacecraft.

But were they really just random numbers?

I was getting
this... not from memory... but

this mental picture of these codes
written out, this binary-type code.

So, I tried to suppress it, but I
just had this urge to put these down.

We now realize that
the best way of communicating

with an ancient civilization
is the binary code.

If we know this, then obviously
anybody else in the universe

will know this, as well.

And when we know that our
ancestors, either on their own

or with some help from
strangers, knew this as well,

then we realize that really the
binary code is the best, if not

the only means, of alien communication.

For three decades,
Penniston kept the mysterious

numerical sequence hidden between the
covers of his Air Force notebook.

There they remained...
unexamined and undeciphered.

I was scared to death.

I was sitting there going, "Okay,
there's something wrong with you, Jim.

You're not right.

You're not thinking straight.

This stuff is so bizarre.

You can't tell anybody this.

They'll take your gun away from
you, they'll kick you out."

All those things were in jeopardy.

That's what I was thinking
about at that moment.

That if I start telling anybody
exactly what I was thinking,

that would be the end of it.

The "refusal of the call" is probably an

experience all thoughtful
people have... that is, there is

some project, some task, some mission.

But we waver, we doubt ourselves, and
don't immediately respond to our destiny.

This is not a good thing.

After eventually leaving the Air Force
and returning to the United States

Penniston found he was being

haunted by persistent dreams,
both about his experience in

the forest, and the meaning of the
mysterious numerical message he received.

What do they mean?
I don't know.

I've never had them analyzed
or anything like that.

I mean, we were out there doing
our jobs with a situation that

we'd never handled before.

In October 2010,
Penniston entrusted his six

handwritten pages of ones and
zeros to a computer programmer.

He hoped the apparently random
series of numbers could be

translated into something
resembling a readable message.

Could someone write
out six pages of binary?

Well, probably not.

Um, they would need some help,
or they would have to be some

kind of savant or super-calculator.

I started transcribing it into my
computer to see what I might find.

I thought, "It's not gonna
come out to anything."

And then something that appeared to be a
real message regarding aliens emerged.

To his astonishment, after plugging

the numbers into a computer,
a fragmentary sentence emerged.

It stated:

"EXPLORATION OF HUMANITY
CONTINUOUS FOR PLANETARY ADVANCE."

Another portion of the message
revealed what appeared to be

navigational coordinates.

Could this now decoded series
of numbers actually be the

evidence the human race
has been searching for?

Proof that we are not alone?

"Exploration of humanity."

Is that for good or for evil?

"Planetary advancement," is
that advancing the human race,

as many have theorized, or is
that the advancement of some

armada coming to conquer Earth?

As for the navigational coordinates,

amazingly, they point to the
geographic location of a

mysterious sunken island known
in Celtic legend as Hy Brasil.

It was said to be the home of a
civilization thousands of years

ahead of its time.

It is also occasionally referred
to as, "the other Atlantis."

Hy Brasil was believed to be a mysterious

land in which the people living there
had a high degree of civilization.

They used sound technology and
vibrational healing technology.

They were highly ethical,
highly moral people, and they

considered everyone over in
Europe to be barbarians,

and they did not want
to mix with them at all.

They enjoyed the isolation
and the seclusion.

But if the strange
binary message in Penniston's

notebook lists the coordinates
of Hy Brasil, what does it mean?

They may be ancient astronauts,
and the Rendelsham

Forest incident could've been
them coming back, finding a

person who was ready to receive
the message, who had the right

tuning to receive the message...
to let us know that the people

we call the Hy Brazilians are
still out there and they want

us to be ready to accept in
the future some sort of open

congress and communication
between our world and theirs.

There's certain incidents
going out there where

I know where you don't
remember and I don't remember.

But there's certain things
together we don't remember.

Right, well, even Ed
said that he remembers me

pulling my weapon, and we all blacked out.

And I don't remember that.

In December 2010,
James Penniston along with John Burroughs

plan to return to Rendlesham Forest

and to the exact same site where
they claim to have encountered

a mysterious craft 30 years earlier.

We're both compelled to go back.

Being in that area will cause
us to have total recall of what

happened in December of 1980.

I can't explain it, just like I couldn't

explain it the first time,
but I think we're gonna have a

better understanding what
we need to do from there.

Could there be more?

Um... yeah.

There could be more.

If Penniston and
Burroughs do return to the

English forest where they claim
to have had a close encounter,

what will they find there?

More clues?

Even more messages?

And what of the mysterious binary
code found in Penniston's notebook?

Does the phrase: "EXPLORATION
OF HUMANITY CONTINUOUS FOR

PLANETARY ADVANCE" and the
strange geographic coordinates

that point to a lost island
really provide evidence that we

are being visited... and perhaps studied...
by visitors from another world?

Could this event really be the
latest in a long line of alien

encounters that stretches
back to antiquity?

To the time of the gods?

If so, are they helping us?

Or are they preparing us to help them?
