- [Narrator] Technology, mankind's gateway to the future,
has provided the world with innovations
once thought unimaginable.
- It's really interesting to look
at our technological breakthroughs since the 1940s.
Computers, the Internet, cellphones, nuclear power,
space travel, it's just staggering.
The central question here is,
how did we acquire this knowledge?
- [Narrator] Is it possible
that our technological achievements
have been built on reverse-engineered UFOs?
- Extraterrestrials have been in contact
with our civilization,
and we've been pilfering their technology
for more than 70 years.
- The government is holding nine alien spacecraft.
- [Narrator] Could the government be hiding these
extraterrestrial innovations from outside nations?
- What if a crashed UFO
ended up in the hands of one of our enemies?
That's one of the worst-case scenarios.
- We believe that the Iranian government
re-engineered UFO technology to capture our drones.
- [Narrator] And what might they do
to keep these technological secrets from getting out?
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] Spring, 1941.
A warm Missouri evening in Cape Girardeau.
Suddenly, the serenity is shattered
as something streaks across the night sky
and goes down in flames in the nearby woods.
(birds chirping)
A story that would have been buried,
had it not been for a local clergyman.
- Reverend William Huffman, a small town minister,
got a phone call.
He was asked to administer the last rites
at a crash scene.
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] As he's led through the wreckage,
Reverend Huffman is astounded.
- There's firemen there, there's the police,
there's the FBI.
He's escorted to the middle of the scene
and he sees a flying saucer.
- There was a casualty in this UFO crash, the pilot.
- [Narrator] Not just one casualty, but three.
And the report goes on to say
that he realizes they are not of this world.
(suspenseful music)
Still, the reverend does as requested.
- That's what you did back then.
You had to have somebody administer to the victim.
- [Narrator] But it's the activity
beyond the reverend's view that is significant.
- Reverend Huffman is praying
over these extraterrestrial bodies,
but while he's doing that
the military is already taking charge of the scene.
- [Narrator] Scattered throughout the site is wreckage
containing remnants of never-before-seen technology.
- They're securing the site.
They're labeling and packing away every piece of the craft.
- [Narrator] The military recognizes that this technology
far surpasses our capabilities.
It is beyond explanation.
- This drops into your lap, and what is this?
It is the arrival of some kind of exotic technology
vastly beyond anything that we had.
And that's the starting point.
- [Narrator] With the material in hand it becomes clear
the military needs to thoroughly investigate
the craft and its technology.
But the question becomes; where to study it?
UFO files suggest that some of this material
may have been sent to Purdue University,
home to many of the brightest minds in the country.
- The government acquires this technology from the crash,
so where is the top research facility to work on it?
Purdue.
- This technology was allegedly presented
to grad students at Purdue University,
like fire from Olympus.
- [Narrator] Some speculate
that the recovered UFO technology
is eventually reversed engineered.
And within seven years, what started at Purdue,
may have led to a breakthrough invention
that ushers in the computer age.
That invention is the transistor.
(suspenseful music)
- The transistor is a component now used in most electronics
that acts as an amplifier for an electronic signal.
Before the transistor, we used vacuum tubes,
which is why we had
huge TV cabinets with tiny little screens
and radios the size of refrigerators.
- [Narrator] The transistor breakthrough
unlocks a world of possibilities.
- What the transistor enabled is
a vast miniaturization of the electronics
to which we regularly have access.
What would have been a supercomputer the size of a room
we now call a smartphone.
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] In the 1950s,
portable radios utilized five transistors.
Today, one smartphone contains billions.
- It's really interesting to look
at our technological breakthroughs since the 1940s.
Computers, the Internet, cellphones, nuclear power,
space travel, it's just staggering.
Just in the last few years alone we've seen televisions go
from three feet in depth to less than an inch,
and that's all thanks to the transistor.
You can really make a case that the world we live in today
would not be possible had it not been
for our acquisition of this extraterrestrial technology.
- [Narrator] UFO files suggest
that the 1941 Cape Girardeau crash
is ground zero for our technological boom.
But this isn't the only time we've exploited a UFO crash.
(whoosh) (explosion)
(camera clicks)
- A pattern starts emerging where things fall from the sky,
we collect them, do our best to study them,
and figure out how they can benefit us.
- [Narrator] Yet another UFO crash may have provided us
with a vast amount of alien technology.
1947, Roswell, New Mexico.
(suspenseful music)
- There are a lot of stories about what really happened
regarding the crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
But I think the best account comes
from a military insider who was actually at the scene,
and that's Colonel Philip J. Corso.
- According to Philip J. Corso,
what crashed at Roswell was indeed
an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
And Corso says that the military took that wreckage,
studied it, and that accounts for the technological boom
of the 20th century.
(rocket booms)
- [Narrator] Technology from the Roswell crash
may also be responsible
for a number of post-war innovations.
- A list of inventions that receded from the Roswell crash
includes integrated computer chips, fiber optics,
night vision, stealth technology, and even microwaves.
- This is a big piece of the puzzle
that our official truth has sort of whitewashed out.
- [Narrator] If the files are correct,
cracking the code to this technology
would require vast resources.
This job is entrusted to the US military.
- The government didn't know what they were dealing with,
so what they did was they brought in
the sharpest minds in the country to look at this.
That's the way it's always been.
The sharpest minds have always worked on national security.
- [Narrator] If the US government
has extraterrestrial technology
and is reverse-engineering it for military purposes,
what other breakthroughs have they achieved,
shielded from the public
and the eyes of our enemies?
- We have got technology that's better than George Lucas,
better than anything you've seen in "Star Wars,"
"Star Trek", whatever.
And it's kept absolutely secret.
- [Narrator] If it's true that there are alien technologies
woven into the fabric of civilization,
then who holds the key to this top secret work,
and what will they create next?
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] Inside the UFO archives
are thousands of eyewitness reports
of unexplained extraterrestrial activity.
In 1941, a Baptist minister witnesses a crashed UFO.
Technology extracted from this site
may have jump started the greatest leap forward
in human technology.
But UFO investigators point to one controversial figure
who may hold the key
to some of the military's deepest secrets.
(suspenseful music)
1989, Las Vegas.
A man named Bob Lazar claims to have knowledge
of a highly classified military operation
that is experimenting with reverse-engineered UFOs.
- I have degrees in physics and electronics technology.
I've worked in a number of scientific programs,
some of which required top secret
and above top secret security clearances.
- [Narrator] Lazar alleges to know
where this work is taking place
and also hints at an astonishing
secret propulsion technology.
(suspenseful music)
And he's about to blow the whistle on all of it.
- [Reporter] What is your synopsis in a nutshell?
- [Bob] My synopsis of what I know to be true?
- [Reporter] Yes.
- The government is holding nine alien spacecraft.
The work is being conducted 15 miles south of Groom Lake.
- Bob Lazar went on television in 1989 and he declared
that located south from the secret infamous Area 51 base
there's an area called S4,
and that's where he said he worked.
- [Bob] Between December of '88 and April of '89
I worked as a senior staff physicist
in what has to be the most secret project in history.
Area S4 is located approximately 15 miles south
of the infamous Area 51 installation at Groom Lake.
For the duration of my employment at S4
I was paid by the United States Navy.
- [Narrator] Lazar claims that S4
is an above ground top secret research facility
hidden deep in the Nevada Desert.
- He says that S4 houses reverse-engineered ET crafts
and UFOs that we've built.
- These are amazing claims that Bob Lazar is making.
He comes out of nowhere and goes on TV
saying that we're building a fleet of UFOs
based on alien designs.
Nobody knows what to make of this guy.
Is he for real, can we even trust him?
- He claims S4, or site four,
which is 10 miles south of Area 51,
was apparently cut out of the side of a mountain
and concealed.
How deep it goes, who knows?
- [Narrator] Although many are skeptical about his claims,
Lazar asserts that S4 is the real home
of acquired alien technology,
a place where UFO retrievals are stored,
studied, and reverse-engineered.
- This would be a perfect location, of course,
to study any acquired alien hardware
that you would have gotten.
It's about as remote as you're gonna get in the US.
It's totally off limits to the public.
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] Lazar's most controversial claim
is that intergalactic travel is made possible
by an alien power source
that he refers to as atomic element 115, or ununpentium.
- He said it was a near 100% efficient
electromagnetic generator.
Some of the capabilities of the craft
that Lazar has talked about
operated on a very advanced gravitational pull
where you would bring the destination toward you,
and then when you turned off the reactor,
you would end up at your destination.
Warp the fabric of space-time
and then you're at your destination instantaneously.
- So, this is space-time compression
that Lazar is talking about,
but he's attributing this technology to an element that,
as far as we know, doesn't event exist,
one that goes against known science.
Naturally, people are gonna be skeptical.
- [Narrator] A deeper look into UFO files
uncovers another surprise from Bob Lazar,
one that alleges the origins of element 115.
(suspenseful music)
- This is the most interesting part about Lazar's story.
According to Lazar, element 115
wasn't actually pilfered from extraterrestrials,
it was given to us by extraterrestrials.
We're not just scavenging for extraterrestrial scraps.
Our government is actually
in some sort of a partnership with extraterrestrials.
- [Narrator] With such a questionable claim,
the idea is quickly dismissed by mainstream scientists,
and Lazar faces widespread ridicule.
- At the time, Bob Lazar's claims of element 115
were considered to be ridiculous.
Lazar himself was said to be delusional.
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] But in 2004,
an international team of scientists
appears to vindicate Bob Lazar
by announcing the discovery of a new superheavy element,
element 115, or ununpentium.
- So now we finally discover element 115 in 2004.
It has the exact properties
that Bob Lazar said it had in 1989.
- Everyone laughed when Lazar told us about element 115,
and he turned out to be right about that.
So maybe we need to seriously consider his claim
that the aliens actually gave us this element.
- [Narrator] But if we have been handed alien technology
and are utilizing these secrets
to build our own futuristic UFOs,
how does the government keep these projects
wrapped up so tightly?
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] According to UFO files,
alien technology retrieved from UFO crashes
has led to breakthroughs in everything
from computers to ultra-classified military UFOs.
- The secret that our government
is reverse engineering alien technology,
this is something that would change the world.
If you're in charge of keeping this from the public,
you're going to take extreme measures.
Some of the stories about this are truly disturbing.
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] California, 1989.
A military defense contractor learns firsthand
just how far some will go
to keep their secret technology concealed.
- This story comes from Edgar Fouche,
a retired Air Force intelligence officer.
He tells about a friend of his named Sal,
who was an engineer contracted
by a top secret research facility in California.
So Ed Fouche says that one day
toward the end Sal's contract,
he starts to feel a little sick.
His supervisor sends him to the on-site doctor.
- [Narrator] The doctor gives Sal an injection
and tells him to get some rest.
Sal goes home, falls asleep, and awakens to a nightmare.
- Sal wakes up the next day and heads for work.
And then it hits him.
He doesn't remember how to get there.
He has no idea what he's been doing
for the past several months.
He eventually learns that his contract has been terminated.
His security clearance is revoked
and he has zero memory of the projects
he's actually worked on.
His old pay stubs are the only proof
he ever worked there at all.
- [Narrator] Every technological secret
that Sal developed and worked on is forgotten,
erased from his memory.
- Whether Sal's story can be verified or not,
you can't deny the intense lockdown
of defense industry secrets.
- You gotta ask yourself, if this kind of thing is going on,
memories being erased, how did we even get here?
But every once in a while we still get a peek
behind the defense industry's curtain,
sometimes from a very unlikely source.
- [Narrator] UFO investigators uncover
a surprising admission from the former CEO
of the US military's biggest defense contractor
written shortly before his death.
- Ben Rich said that we have technology
that is so far advanced that, you know,
there's no way he could mention any of it.
We're 400 years ahead of what we see here.
Flying cars and this, that's all real stuff,
we're just not seeing it here.
- Ben Rich makes this cl - This is amazing.
I mean, here's one of the biggest
military defense contractors in the world,
and he comes right out and says
we have technology based on UFO designs.
- [Narrator] Does Ben Rich's letter shed light
on even more technological secrets,
revelations that may hint
at some of mankind's true capabilities?
(suspenseful music)
- [Man] We already have the means to travel among the stars,
but these technologies are locked up in black projects,
and it would take an act of God
to ever get them out for the benefit of humanity.
(UFO whooshes)
- Ben Rich makes this claim of unlimited possibilities.
We already have these technologies,
but the government has yet to acknowledge its existence.
- Yes, we have got technology
that's better than George Lucas,
better than anything you've seen in "Star Wars,"
"Star Trek," whatever,
and it's kept absolutely secret.
- The central question here is,
how did we acquire this knowledge?
- According to Ben Rich,
we learned how to build our own UFOs
by studying crash retrievals
and he came right out and said that extraterrestrials
have been in contact with our civilization
and we've been pilfering their technology
for more than 70 years.
- [Narrator] Ben Rich's statements seem to confirm
what Bob Lazar claimed in 1989,
that we are reverse engineering UFOs.
But could there be a connection
between these reported technological advances
and the multiple sightings of a black triangular craft
seen by many around the world?
- Thousands of eyewitnesses
around not only the United States but in Europe and Asia
have reported seeing these gigantic black triangles
that fly silently, that can absolutely go supersonic speeds,
exo-atmospheric without causing any sonic boom.
- Black triangles have now become
their own class of unidentified flying objects,
but people only really started to see them
in the past 50 years or so.
- [Narrator] Are these triangles of extraterrestrial origin,
or could they be top secret US aircraft?
- It's my personal assessment that 95%
of what people are reporting as extraterrestrial UFOs
are in point of fact our own deep black programs.
- Black programs are top secret military projects.
The government funds them
but they're kept off the main books
and away from congressional oversight.
There's one highly secretive craft
hidden within a black project called the TR-3B.
It's a large triangular craft
that can outperform and outmaneuver
any other known aircraft.
- And this technology is super exotic
and it costs about $3 billion just to create one of them.
According to insiders, this craft has the ability
to cloak itself by bending light.
The TR-3B is not only invisible to radar,
but it can also manipulate the radar screen
to look like there's multiple targets in the area.
- [Narrator] Many suspect that the TR-3B
may be the same triangular craft
seen by thousands of eyewitnesses worldwide.
- We have a document that was released
through the Freedom of Information Act,
and in this document they state
this was not one of our aircraft,
and in fact it expresses our own government's interest
in what was going on over there and our curiosity.
- [Narrator] This begs the question,
what is the truth behind this triangular craft?
- Despite thousands of eyewitnesses
around the entire world,
the US Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office,
the Office of Naval Research,
they won't even acknowledge the existence
of the black triangles.
- So it's a real debate even within the classified world,
it turns out.
They don't all agree.
We have some of these people who say
yes, we do have the capability,
we have the technology of a breakaway civilization,
as it were, that is off the charts,
and then others who say no, that's absolutely not the case.
- [Narrator] But whether or not the government
is concealing these top secret military projects,
UFO files suggest another startling discovery.
That there may be other countries
with a history of reverse engineering alien technology.
(suspenseful music)
- [Narrator] UFO files suggest a history
of reverse-engineered alien technology
as a possible source for some of the nation's
most advanced weapons and aircraft.
But is America the only country
to reap these extraterrestrial rewards?
UFO researchers point to the possibility
that enemy nations may have also been experimenting
with otherworldly technology at least since World War II.
- Of course, when we're talking about very advanced,
cutting-edge sort of technologies,
it's not just the US.
Let's go back to the Second World War,
let's not forget the Germans.
During World War II, under the control of the SS,
the Nazis and Nazi scientists were doing a whole array
of highly advanced technological research.
- [Narrator] Is some of this advanced technology
also reverse engineered from alien sources?
One file reports a UFO recovery
that occurred over a decade before Roswell
in the heart of Nazi Germany.
(suspenseful music)
1936.
A mysterious disc-shaped craft is spotted flying erratically
over the German countryside.
It suddenly plummets to earth,
crashing into the Black Forest.
(whoosh) (explosion)
The disc is recovered by the military
and soon comes to the attention of Adolf Hitler.
- When Hitler hears about this weird flying disc,
naturally he wanted to learn everything about it.
What is it, what can it do?
And most importantly,
how could he use this to his advantage?
- [Narrator] Hitler orders the crash debris
taken to Wewelsburg castle,
a massive stronghold at the center of the Nazis' plan
for a Third Reich-dominated world.
Inside Wewelsburg castle, high-ranking SS officers
study both science and the occult
under the direct command of Heinrich Himmler.
- Himmler oversaw the most esoteric, advanced,
and sometimes outright frightening elements
of the Nazi war machine.
We know that the Nazis pursued the idea
of the Wunderwaffe, the super weapon.
This was their effort for victory through science.
They worked on things like directed energy weapons,
basically ray guns.
They tried to create a sun gun,
an orbital mirror that can focus the sun's rays
at a target on earth.
- [Narrator] Nazi scientists study the UFO
and make a startling discovery.
- Some of these physics appeared to have to do
with propulsion technology.
- [Narrator] The claim is that it contains
an antigravity generator unlike any technology on Earth.
- It is now known that the Nazis were experimenting
with many advanced technologies, including antigravity,
during World War II.
And some of that technology may have been more advanced
than what the Americans had.
- [Narrator] The SS works to study and reverse engineer
the salvaged UFO,
resulting in a secret project called Die Glocke,
a terrifying weapon intended to conquer the skies
for the Third Reich.
- We have stories of something called Die Glocke, the bell.
It could very well have existed,
and it was a device that created
a kind of electromagnetic field
that seemed to be able to play with gravity
and possibly even allow it to levitate.
- [Narrator] But the prototype proves unstable and deadly.
- It was said to be highly dangerous.
You'd get to close to it, you'd be dead.
- Die Glocke supposedly works
through some kind of antigravity power source,
but when the Nazis couldn't replicate it,
they abandoned the project.
- [Narrator] Despite the Nazis' lack of success,
UFO files indicate that for decades
other enemy nations may have also benefited
from recovering crashed UFOs
and reverse engineering their technology.
(suspenseful music)
There is a dangerous history in the UFO archives
involving the possibility of UFO reverse engineering
by the Nazis during World War II.
But more recent files suggest that some foreign nations
may also be arming themselves
with extraterrestrial technology.
- We have evidence of crashes all around the world.
Russia in 1969.
China in 2006.
In the Middle East in 1991 and in 2007.
If this really happened,
then we have advanced technology
that might be in the hands of our enemies.
(suspenseful music)
(intriguing music)
- [Narrator] December 2011.
An American drone crosses into Iran's airspace.
It is captured by the Iranian military
without so much as a dent.
Iran proudly broadcasts the captured aircraft
on international television.
American military insiders are thrown into a frenzy,
uncertain how Iran could execute this feat.
- This is a state-of-the-art military drone,
and Iran brought it down out of midair without a scratch.
It's not like they shot the thing down.
They somehow were able to capture the drone in midair.
How could a small country like Iran
have the technology to pull this off?
- [Narrator] The files contain reports
that suggest the Iranian military
may have had help developing this technology.
- So, after the drone is captured,
the US is pretty embarrassed and rattled
about what's going on.
And then a few days later a different story emerges
by a nuclear engineer by the name of Dr. Mehran Keshe.
- [Narrator] Dr. Keshe, a controversial nuclear scientist,
claims that he helped design an Iranian military UFO
that was used to capture the American drone.
He describes the UFO as having capabilities
that exceed any known aircraft,
including a technology that many believe does not exist.
- He says that the drone was captured intact
by a tractor beam that was mounted
on a secret aircraft that he designed.
- A tractor beam is the ability to pull or tow an object
without necessarily being physically connected to it.
The beam uses photons, or light particles,
as a mean of achieving this.
In 2013, NASA announced that
they have had some success with this technology,
but on a very small scale.
- The Iranians claim that they brought down
one of our drones with a tractor beam.
Not buying it.
We have had limited success,
but what this scientist claims just doesn't exist.
- [Narrator] Could Iran have constructed this technology
by reverse engineering alien materials?
To answer this question, UFO investigators examine
Iran's long history of UFO incidents.
Beginning in 1976,
Iran experiences a succession of UFO encounters.
And in 2004, they appear to have recovered
their own UFO crash.
- In 2004, Fars News Agency stated
that multiple eyewitnesses saw
a UFO crash in the mountain of Kerman.
- [Narrator] The crash is witnessed by many,
but the Iranian military arrive at the scene
before any civilians.
By the time they are gone,
so too is any evidence of a UFO crash,
leaving many to ask, what became of the UFO?
- Our experts say that that 2004 crash
was re-engineered by the Iranian government,
and that technology was used by Dr. Mehran Keshe
to capture that drone.
- What if a crashed UFO
ended up in the hands of one of our enemies
and they were able to reverse engineer the technology?
That's one of the worst-case scenarios.
- [Narrator] But could there be another scenario,
one where this alien technology is actually used
to defend the world from an even greater threat?
- [Narrator] UFO investigators have uncovered
a potentially long-standing history
with reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology.
But according to the files,
many of these groundbreaking technological advances
may have been hidden by the government
in top secret military projects.
If this is true, then it's possible
that there is also a program in place
to defend the planet against threats from outer space.
(suspenseful music)
Chelyabinsk, Russia, 2013.
An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth,
threatening massive destruction.
- On 15th February, 2013,
this asteroid entered the atmosphere
at about 19 kilometers a second,
or roughly 60 times the speed of sound,
yielding titanic amounts of energy,
and eventually the final explosion low in the atmosphere
was over the town of Chelyabinsk, Russia.
- [Narrator] The asteroid caused major damage
to the city of Chelyabinsk
and injured roughly 1,000 people.
It could have been much worse had it impacted Earth,
but for some reason, it didn't.
- Why did this asteroid suddenly break up
15 miles above the Earth's surface?
When you look closely at this footage,
it does seem like something collides with the asteroid.
It goes through it from the left
and comes out through the right.
To me, this is an indication
that this might be a space-based weapon.
- [Narrator] But not everyone is convinced
that this is proof of a defensive weapon in action.
- At the speeds asteroids travel relative to Earth,
when they hit our atmosphere
coming from the vacuum of space,
that's like hitting a wall.
So oftentimes they explode
when they hit the upper atmosphere,
and that's what happened in Chelyabinsk.
In the Chelyabinsk video,
we see objects paralleling the main bolide.
A bolide is a generic name for an impactor.
It can be a comet, an asteroid.
Anything that hits Earth, we call bolide.
We know at least three explosions
occurred with this object,
two of them high in the atmosphere.
These are just fragments that blew off earlier
that are more or less paralleling
the course of the main bolide,
and they're passing through the atmosphere more quickly.
They're smaller, there's less friction,
there's less of a shockwave, that's it.
- Perhaps if this were the only incident
where a projectile or something unexplainable
intercepted an incoming object from space,
this would be easier to dismiss.
But it's not.
The most amazing footage I've seen wasn't captured on Earth
but from NASA's own Space Shuttle.
- [Narrator] September 1991.
The Space Shuttle Discovery embarks on mission STS-48.
During the mission,
a camera mounted on the rear of the cargo bay
captures what appears to be a very interesting encounter.
- On September 15th, 1991,
STS is loaded with a camera
that's looking at the Earth's horizon.
The Space Shuttle picks up some footage,
and that footage is highly unusual.
(suspenseful music)
What looks to be an asteroid is moving very slowly
just below the common line.
There's a flash, and then all of a sudden
the asteroid changes direction and accelerates,
avoiding a projectile that was fired at it.
This appears to be very strong evidence
that this is not an ordinary asteroid.
This is a UFO.
- So here we have this advanced weapon system
that is firing upon something
that is way more sophisticated.
- The STS-48 video really makes you stop and pause.
And NASA isn't giving out this footage, by the way.
It was picked up by astronomers
who were monitoring NASA's direct shuttle feed.
And there have long been rumors
that NASA scrubs any photos containing UFOs
before releasing them to the public.
- [Narrator] Could NASA be doing the government's bidding
by concealing these technological advances
from the public eye?
- It's a fair question to ask.
To what extent is NASA a front
for other clandestine space activities?
Think of it this way.
If there's a UFO phenomenon that's real, and there sure is,
some of that phenomenon is out in Earth orbit and beyond.
And if that is the case,
then you're gonna need to investigate that phenomenon
just as much as the stuff
in the atmosphere and on the ground.
But if you go to investigate that,
you have to do it in a way
that the public and the world doesn't know you're doing it.
You have to maintain secrecy,
and what that means, of necessity,
is you must have a covert aspect to your space program.
You must.
- There is overwhelming evidence that UFOs are real.
And we have to be alert to the fact
that there are dangers out there
that may threaten our planet.
We're only scratching at the surface
of what we see and know is out there.
(static buzzing)
- [Narrator] If it's true that secret space weaponry
and alien technology is embedded
into the framework of society.
- If you accept the premise
that ET technology is already here,
there are few ways to look at this.
That we've embraced these technologies
from extraterrestrials,
that we're catching up to them,
that the human race is moving forward.
- [Narrator] Then it could also be true
that an unconscionable amount of power
has been put in the wrong hands.
- It's almost mind boggling to think about,
and yet it appears to have happened.
Now we need computers for everything
from balancing our budgets to managing our elections
to guiding our missiles.
- [Narrator] And if mankind continues on
with the help of otherworldly resources.
- What if this technology,
we're not supposed to have it at all
and these crash retrievals have messed us up
on an evolutionary scale?
- [Narrator] Then the fate of mankind may be decided
by those not of this world.
