00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,001
Festering disease.
2
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:00,001
Everything was going on okay one
3
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:00,002
minute, and then all of a
sudden, people are kind of
4
00:00:00,002 --> 00:00:00,002
rotting in front of you.
5
00:00:00,002 --> 00:00:00,003
Raging pestilence.
6
00:00:00,003 --> 00:00:00,004
The civilized world
went out the window.
7
00:00:00,004 --> 00:00:00,005
And death of almost unspeakable agony.
8
00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:00,006
Are we the laboratory of the universe?
9
00:00:00,006 --> 00:00:00,007
But what if the source
of all this very human
10
00:00:00,007 --> 00:00:00,008
suffering has a strangely
non-human origin?
11
00:00:00,008 --> 00:00:00,008
It would be narrow-minded to accept
12
00:00:00,008 --> 00:00:00,009
viruses wouldn't occur in other
planets around the universe.
13
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:00,010
Is there somebody who
has the technology
14
00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:00,011
to actually send things
to Earth, and are part of
15
00:00:00,011 --> 00:00:00,011
intergalactic warfare?
16
00:00:00,011 --> 00:00:00,012
To suggest that ETs
would come here and
17
00:00:00,012 --> 00:00:00,013
annihilate us in the way we
see it in the movies-- why go
18
00:00:00,014 --> 00:00:00,015
through all the trouble
when all you have to do---
19
00:00:00,015 --> 00:00:00,016
is release a toxin into the air?
20
00:00:00,016 --> 00:00:00,017
Millions of people around
the world believe we have
21
00:00:00,017 --> 00:00:00,018
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
22
00:00:00,018 --> 00:00:00,019
What if it were true?
23
00:00:00,019 --> 00:00:00,021
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
24
00:00:00,021 --> 00:00:00,022
And could they even be the source
of our deadliest epidemics?

Portugal
27
00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:00,033
October 13th, 1917.
28
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:00,034
During what had been a
bright and cloudless day---
29
00:00:00,035 --> 00:00:00,037
the skies suddenly turned
dark and foreboding.
30
00:00:00,037 --> 00:00:00,038
For those who were there to
witness it, their world was
31
00:00:00,038 --> 00:00:00,038
about to turn upside down.
32
00:00:00,039 --> 00:00:00,039
Three children had claimed to
33
00:00:00,039 --> 00:00:00,040
see what they believed
was the Virgin Mary.
34
00:00:00,041 --> 00:00:00,042
She promised to give the
people a sign from God.
35
00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:00,043
Perhaps as many as a
100 thousand people
36
00:00:00,043 --> 00:00:00,044
watched as the sun seemed to change
into an opaque spinning disc in the sky.
37
00:00:00,046 --> 00:00:00,047
During those manifestations,
children were told that
38
00:00:00,047 --> 00:00:00,049
God was very very angry with the world,
and that there would be punishment.
39
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:00,050
The incident near the
small village of Fatima
40
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:00,052
was labeled a miracle by
some and a hoax by others.
41
00:00:00,052 --> 00:00:00,053
But to ancient astronaut theorists,
the event is considered
42
00:00:00,053 --> 00:00:00,054
an extraterrestrial encounter.
43
00:00:00,054 --> 00:00:00,055
In Fatima we see mysteries happening,
44
00:00:00,055 --> 00:00:00,056
but we do not really know whether
we are dealing with a religious
45
00:00:00,056 --> 00:00:00,057
phenomenon or whether we are
dealing with an extraterrestrial,
46
00:00:00,057 --> 00:00:00,057
UFO kind of phenomenon.
47
00:00:00,057 --> 00:00:00,059
We know that the apparition didn't
really identify herself as who she was.
48
00:00:00,059 --> 00:00:00,060
It's within the context of religion,
that she is named the Virgin Mary.
49
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:00,061
The question is if she is not the
Virgin Mary, then who is she.
50
00:00:00,062 --> 00:00:00,064
Perhaps even more bizarre is the fact
that less one year after the event,
51
00:00:00,064 --> 00:00:00,065
an estimated 50 million
people were dead.
52
00:00:00,065 --> 00:00:00,066
Victims of the worst plague
in recorded history.
53
00:00:00,067 --> 00:00:00,068
Could this deadly pandemic,
known as the Spanish lnfluenza
54
00:00:00,068 --> 00:00:00,069
have been somehow connected
to the incidents at Fatima?
55
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:00,070
Quite possible that
many of the plagues
56
00:00:00,071 --> 00:00:00,072
really occurred because
alien beings came here
57
00:00:00,072 --> 00:00:00,073
and brought with them microbes
and bacteria and diseases.
58
00:00:00,074 --> 00:00:00,075
Disease has been responsible
for more deaths
59
00:00:00,075 --> 00:00:00,076
than every war in human
history combined.
60
00:00:00,077 --> 00:00:00,078
And right from the start, we
have looked for an answer,
61
00:00:00,078 --> 00:00:00,078
in the heavens.
62
00:00:00,079 --> 00:00:00,080
In Antiquity, when pestilence
or plague would strike
63
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,081
it was very mysterious
and frightening.
64
00:00:00,081 --> 00:00:00,082
Of course people had
tried to explain it.
65
00:00:00,082 --> 00:00:00,084
The easiest way to imagine disease was
like a shower coming down from the sky,
66
00:00:00,084 --> 00:00:00,085
perhaps sent by an
angry or ruffled God.
67
00:00:00,085 --> 00:00:00,087
In the mythological imagination
plagues were always
68
00:00:00,087 --> 00:00:00,088
the result of the gods being
angry or upset with us.
69
00:00:00,089 --> 00:00:00,090
Examples abound in the
ancient world of diseases
70
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:00,091
being linked to the gods.
71
00:00:00,091 --> 00:00:00,093
In ancient Egypt, the god
of disease was called Seth.
72
00:00:00,093 --> 00:00:00,094
And the Hittites called
their plague god lrra.
73
00:00:00,094 --> 00:00:00,095
The name means "fire" or "burning---"
74
00:00:00,095 --> 00:00:00,096
and this was their way of
explaining raging fevers
75
00:00:00,096 --> 00:00:00,098
that were something like wildfires
sweeping through the land.
76
00:00:00,098 --> 00:00:00,098
There was a conception of plague as a
77
00:00:00,098 --> 00:00:00,099
physical ailment, something that
attacks the body, but lots of
78
00:00:00,099 --> 00:00:00,100
physical ailments were conceived of
79
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:00,101
as the result of
supernatural intervention.
80
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:00,103
The ancient Chinese also
connected plagues and
81
00:00:00,103 --> 00:00:00,104
diseases to the supernatural,
and took it one step further.
82
00:00:00,105 --> 00:00:00,106
They kept meticulous records
about when there were outbreaks
83
00:00:00,106 --> 00:00:00,107
of disease and actual
celestial events.
84
00:00:00,107 --> 00:00:00,108
They connected reports
of unusual comets,
85
00:00:00,108 --> 00:00:00,109
things that today we would call
UFOs, to outbreaks of plague.
86
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:00,110
So, this has been universal, it's
not just have been in a few places
87
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:00,111
it's not just been a few plagues.
It's actually been very consistent
88
00:00:00,111 --> 00:00:00,112
throughout history.
89
00:00:00,112 --> 00:00:00,113
So many different ancient
cultures right across the world
90
00:00:00,113 --> 00:00:00,114
had this point of view that plagues
91
00:00:00,114 --> 00:00:00,115
were caused by things
that happened in the skies
92
00:00:00,117 --> 00:00:00,118
Greece, 430 BC
93
00:00:00,118 --> 00:00:00,119
Athens is at war with Sparta.
94
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,121
The battles are brutal and bloody.
95
00:00:00,121 --> 00:00:00,122
But the war casualties pale in
comparison to the scenes of horror---
96
00:00:00,123 --> 00:00:00,123
when plague descends on the people.
97
00:00:00,124 --> 00:00:00,125
They were thirsty beyond thirst.
98
00:00:00,125 --> 00:00:00,126
They turned red, they vomited,
they had terrible diarrhea,
99
00:00:00,126 --> 00:00:00,127
their fingers at times turned black
100
00:00:00,127 --> 00:00:00,127
Their bodies were ravaged.
101
00:00:00,128 --> 00:00:00,129
Crates were being stacked
with 12 to 15 bodies,
102
00:00:00,129 --> 00:00:00,131
and when that fails, they're just simply
left onto the street-- dead, putrid,
103
00:00:00,131 --> 00:00:00,132
decomposing bodies all over the
city, thousands of people.
104
00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:00,135
But was the plague of Athens some
biological consequence of the war?
105
00:00:00,135 --> 00:00:00,135
Or something else?
106
00:00:00,135 --> 00:00:00,136
Something---
107
00:00:00,136 --> 00:00:00,136
not of this Earth?
108
00:00:00,137 --> 00:00:00,138
The civilized world went out the
window as soon as this plague hit.
109
00:00:00,138 --> 00:00:00,140
You can certainly correlate
plagues, epidemics, disease with
110
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:00,141
the decline and fall
of various empires.
111
00:00:00,141 --> 00:00:00,142
As far as the ancient
Greeks were concerned,
112
00:00:00,142 --> 00:00:00,143
the plague was very likely
a curse from the gods.
113
00:00:00,143 --> 00:00:00,145
The wrath of God could very
well have been the wrath of ETs,
114
00:00:00,145 --> 00:00:00,146
who wanted to control us,
manipulate us, change us,
115
00:00:00,146 --> 00:00:00,147
and they did so, in a
very deliberate evil way.
116
00:00:00,149 --> 00:00:00,150
In the middle the sixth
century, another virus
117
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:00,151
nearly succeeded in wiping
out most of humanity---
118
00:00:00,151 --> 00:00:00,152
the Justinian Plague.
119
00:00:00,152 --> 00:00:00,153
There aren't really good
records back then of how
120
00:00:00,153 --> 00:00:00,154
many millions of people died, but a
significant percentage of the world died.
121
00:00:00,155 --> 00:00:00,156
You know, everything was going on okay
122
00:00:00,156 --> 00:00:00,156
one minute, and then all of a
sudden, people are kind of
123
00:00:00,156 --> 00:00:00,157
rotting in front of you.
124
00:00:00,157 --> 00:00:00,158
Woah! like where
does this come from?
125
00:00:00,158 --> 00:00:00,159
Like the Plague of Athens,
the Justinian Plague
126
00:00:00,159 --> 00:00:00,160
was accompanied by multiple reports---
127
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,161
of strange sightings in the sky.
128
00:00:00,162 --> 00:00:00,163
People reported seeing strange
objects in the sky---
129
00:00:00,163 --> 00:00:00,165
that they called "glowing
gold shields," and visions of
130
00:00:00,165 --> 00:00:00,167
bronze ships in the sky
and headless creatures.
131
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:00,168
And whenever these events took
place, in the middle of daylight,
132
00:00:00,168 --> 00:00:00,169
by the way, people fell ill, and
something would be witnessed
133
00:00:00,169 --> 00:00:00,171
again, up in the sky, and there
would be another outbreak.
134
00:00:00,172 --> 00:00:00,173
According to modern-day
astronomers, at the
135
00:00:00,173 --> 00:00:00,174
time of the Justinian Plague,
there was an unusually high
136
00:00:00,174 --> 00:00:00,175
concentration of cosmic activity.
137
00:00:00,175 --> 00:00:00,176
Islamic literature of the day was very
138
00:00:00,176 --> 00:00:00,177
clear in stating that the skies
were darkened on many occasions
139
00:00:00,177 --> 00:00:00,178
and people were frightened
by meteor storms and comets
140
00:00:00,178 --> 00:00:00,179
impacting the Earth.
141
00:00:00,179 --> 00:00:00,180
There's also direct evidence, I
think, from a subject called
142
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:00,181
dendrochronology-- thicknesses
of tree rings-- an indication of
143
00:00:00,181 --> 00:00:00,182
the amount of light that we
receive during the summer months.
144
00:00:00,182 --> 00:00:00,184
For the period from 530 to 550,
or thereabouts-- A.D.-- we find
145
00:00:00,184 --> 00:00:00,185
that the tree-ring
thicknesses almost vanish---
146
00:00:00,185 --> 00:00:00,186
showing that the skies
were really darkened.
147
00:00:00,186 --> 00:00:00,188
That's, again, consistent with
comets breaking up, meteors
148
00:00:00,188 --> 00:00:00,188
breaking up in the sky.
149
00:00:00,188 --> 00:00:00,189
So one has to then speculate if
these dust particles that were
150
00:00:00,189 --> 00:00:00,190
darkening the skies also
contained viruses and bacteria.
151
00:00:00,191 --> 00:00:00,192
Is there somewhere,
out there in deep space, where
152
00:00:00,192 --> 00:00:00,193
somebody has the technology to
actually send over things to
153
00:00:00,193 --> 00:00:00,194
Earth, so that what looks to be
a normal mechanism of delivery,
154
00:00:00,194 --> 00:00:00,195
actually becomes a very
high-tech method of delivery,
155
00:00:00,195 --> 00:00:00,197
and we have no idea that we
are part of an intergalactic warfare.
156
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:00,200
The connection between deadly plagues
and phenomena in the sky appears
157
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,201
frequently throughout
ancient histories.
158
00:00:00,201 --> 00:00:00,202
Most scientists today
call it superstition.
159
00:00:00,202 --> 00:00:00,204
3,000 years ago,
they called it fact.
160
00:00:00,204 --> 00:00:00,205
But might an ancient sculpture
discovered in 19th century Egypt
161
00:00:00,205 --> 00:00:00,207
prove that our ancestors knew
more than we give them credit for?
162
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:00,211
Naqada, Egypt.
1897.
163
00:00:00,211 --> 00:00:00,212
A treasure trove of ancient
artifacts sees the light of day
164
00:00:00,212 --> 00:00:00,214
after being entombed for 6,000 years.
165
00:00:00,215 --> 00:00:00,216
Among the findings is the statue
of what looks like a bearded man.
166
00:00:00,216 --> 00:00:00,217
It is dubbed "MacGregor Man,"
167
00:00:00,217 --> 00:00:00,218
for the Reverend William
MacGregor, in whose antiquities
168
00:00:00,218 --> 00:00:00,219
collection it once resided.
169
00:00:00,219 --> 00:00:00,221
In Egyptology, this ancient statue
is referred to as the "Bearded Man"
170
00:00:00,221 --> 00:00:00,223
However, if you look a little
bit closer, you can see that
171
00:00:00,223 --> 00:00:00,224
what he's wearing on his head,
and what extends from his chin,
172
00:00:00,224 --> 00:00:00,226
is not necessarily a beard,
but it looks like a skullcap.
173
00:00:00,226 --> 00:00:00,227
His entire body seems to be
inside some type of an overall,
174
00:00:00,227 --> 00:00:00,228
some type of a suit, because
even where his cuffs are, there
175
00:00:00,228 --> 00:00:00,229
is no shirt opening.
176
00:00:00,229 --> 00:00:00,231
No matter from what angle, it looks
like a guy inside a hazmat suit.
177
00:00:00,232 --> 00:00:00,233
Other figures found
at Naqada also have pointed
178
00:00:00,233 --> 00:00:00,235
beards that extend from the
chin, but without any hood.
179
00:00:00,235 --> 00:00:00,236
Adding to the mystery is the
fact that Naqada was believed
180
00:00:00,236 --> 00:00:00,238
to be the ancestral home of Seth,
the Egyptian god of plague.
181
00:00:00,239 --> 00:00:00,240
We don't know whether these things
were depictions of realistic apparatus
182
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,241
that was used to protect,
perhaps, extraterrestrials
183
00:00:00,241 --> 00:00:00,243
from very dangerous chemicals, diseases
that they were spreading across humanity.
184
00:00:00,244 --> 00:00:00,246
If you were an extraterrestrial visitor,
you'd wear something to protect yourself
185
00:00:00,246 --> 00:00:00,247
from the bacteria and the
virus that were rampant
186
00:00:00,247 --> 00:00:00,248
that is one reason for
the hazmat suits.
187
00:00:00,248 --> 00:00:00,249
Another reason would be not to
protect yourself, but to protect
188
00:00:00,249 --> 00:00:00,250
the population you were visiting.
189
00:00:00,251 --> 00:00:00,252
Whatever the Bearded
Man wears around his
190
00:00:00,252 --> 00:00:00,253
hips, to me looks more like
some type of a technological
191
00:00:00,253 --> 00:00:00,254
device than what
Egyptology suggests.
192
00:00:00,254 --> 00:00:00,256
Egyptology suggests that he
is wearing a penis sheath.
193
00:00:00,256 --> 00:00:00,257
Now, to me, it is clear that
whatever is attached to his
194
00:00:00,257 --> 00:00:00,259
front of his belly is
anything but a penis sheath.
195
00:00:00,259 --> 00:00:00,261
Is it possible that this is a carving
of a potential extraterrestrial?
196
00:00:00,262 --> 00:00:00,263
But among antiquities,
Macgregor Man is not alone.
197
00:00:00,263 --> 00:00:00,264
Throughout the world, there are
scores of ancient carvings and
198
00:00:00,264 --> 00:00:00,266
figurines that seem to depict
otherworldly creatures in what
199
00:00:00,266 --> 00:00:00,267
some claim is astronaut-type clothing.
200
00:00:00,267 --> 00:00:00,268
In Central America is
full of these suits.
201
00:00:00,268 --> 00:00:00,270
You really have beings chiseled
in stone which have helmets on.
202
00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:00,271
Out of the helmet you have
something like a trunk coming up,
203
00:00:00,271 --> 00:00:00,272
and in some cases you see,
204
00:00:00,272 --> 00:00:00,273
on the shoulder of the helmet,
something like a tank.
205
00:00:00,274 --> 00:00:00,275
But strange depictions
of cloaked figures
206
00:00:00,275 --> 00:00:00,276
wearing what appear to be
breathing apparatuses aren't
207
00:00:00,276 --> 00:00:00,277
limited to the ancient world.
208
00:00:00,277 --> 00:00:00,279
In 1347, ships full of Italian
sailors died suddenly---
209
00:00:00,279 --> 00:00:00,281
after being covered in oozing black
boils filled with blood and pus.
210
00:00:00,281 --> 00:00:00,282
The disease spread rapidly
throughout Europe---
211
00:00:00,282 --> 00:00:00,283
and soon had a name--
the Black Plague.
212
00:00:00,284 --> 00:00:00,285
The Black Plague was widely
seen as an act of God
213
00:00:00,285 --> 00:00:00,286
for the sinfulness of the people.
214
00:00:00,287 --> 00:00:00,288
What you get is a slow
lingering painful death
215
00:00:00,288 --> 00:00:00,290
and that's what is nasty. And it
completely decimates populations.
216
00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:00,291
Within five years, this
previously unknown
217
00:00:00,291 --> 00:00:00,293
disease had wiped out nearly
one-third of Europe---
218
00:00:00,293 --> 00:00:00,294
the equivalent, in today's
numbers, of more than
219
00:00:00,294 --> 00:00:00,294
300 million dead.
220
00:00:00,295 --> 00:00:00,296
And just like previous epidemics,
the outbreaks of plague
221
00:00:00,296 --> 00:00:00,298
were accompanied by sightings
of strange aerial phenomena.
222
00:00:00,298 --> 00:00:00,300
People saw strange bronze ships
spreading a mist around the entire area
223
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:00,302
shortly after that people began
to become very sick and die.
224
00:00:00,304 --> 00:00:00,305
Bronze ships, just like those reported
225
00:00:00,305 --> 00:00:00,306
during the Justinian
Plague 800 years earlier.
226
00:00:00,306 --> 00:00:00,307
But what natural phenomenon
could appear in the sky
227
00:00:00,307 --> 00:00:00,308
that would fit such a description?
228
00:00:00,308 --> 00:00:00,310
And what was the mysterious mist
that people saw floating down
229
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:00,310
from the sky?
230
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:00,311
If you ask a historian
today, they would say
231
00:00:00,311 --> 00:00:00,313
that they were hallucinating
because of the illness.
232
00:00:00,313 --> 00:00:00,314
But how do you get thousands of
people hallucinating the same thing?
233
00:00:00,316 --> 00:00:00,316
One of these supposed
hallucinations featured
234
00:00:00,316 --> 00:00:00,318
reports of mysterious cloaked figures
spraying mist on the ground.
235
00:00:00,318 --> 00:00:00,320
It was this report that gave rise to rumors
of a black-hooded messenger of death,
236
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:00,321
later known as the Grim Reaper.
237
00:00:00,321 --> 00:00:00,323
In one case, the chronicle
recounts a group of
238
00:00:00,323 --> 00:00:00,324
men mowing down wheat, and their
scythes were making, uh, loud
239
00:00:00,324 --> 00:00:00,325
swishing sounds, but not
actually cutting down the crops.
240
00:00:00,325 --> 00:00:00,326
We can imagine that maybe what
was perceived in medieval times
241
00:00:00,326 --> 00:00:00,327
as scythes, making swishing
sounds, were perhaps some kind
242
00:00:00,327 --> 00:00:00,328
of wand shooting some kind of
aerosol into the air, that was a
243
00:00:00,328 --> 00:00:00,329
pathogen that made
so many people sick.
244
00:00:00,329 --> 00:00:00,331
People reported a number
of strange beings that
245
00:00:00,331 --> 00:00:00,331
would spray onto the wheat,
246
00:00:00,332 --> 00:00:00,333
and shortly after that,
the Black Death occurred.
247
00:00:00,333 --> 00:00:00,334
And maybe our idea of the Reaper
was extraterrestrial in origin.
248
00:00:00,336 --> 00:00:00,337
Mysterious plagues accompanied
by extraterrestrial sightings.
249
00:00:00,338 --> 00:00:00,339
And gruesome deaths preceded
by ominous apparitions.
250
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:00,341
But were those strange metallic
objects seen in the skies over
251
00:00:00,341 --> 00:00:00,342
Europe really misunderstood
cosmic events---
252
00:00:00,342 --> 00:00:00,344
like meteors and comets--- as most
mainstream scientists believe?
253
00:00:00,344 --> 00:00:00,345
In 1731, there were UFO
sightings over England,
254
00:00:00,345 --> 00:00:00,346
Ireland and Romania, and they
255
00:00:00,346 --> 00:00:00,347
predated the worldwide
flu epidemic of 1732.
256
00:00:00,348 --> 00:00:00,349
People saw a red object
in the sky, and at times,
257
00:00:00,349 --> 00:00:00,350
this object generated so much heat
that people had to take off their shirts.
258
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:00,351
I mean, they were just
glowing up there in the sky.
259
00:00:00,351 --> 00:00:00,352
Later on, a plague broke out.
260
00:00:00,353 --> 00:00:00,354
What people called comets
back in those days,
261
00:00:00,354 --> 00:00:00,355
we would not call comets today,
because anything that moved in
262
00:00:00,355 --> 00:00:00,356
the sky that was unusual, that
263
00:00:00,356 --> 00:00:00,357
was bright, they would call it comet.
264
00:00:00,357 --> 00:00:00,358
For example, in the Chronicle of
Marvels, by Conrad Lycosthenes,
265
00:00:00,358 --> 00:00:00,359
which was published in the
1500s, he talked about a
266
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:00,360
comet that was seen
in Arabia in the 1400s.
267
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:00,361
But when you look at the woodcut,
it looks like a rocket ship.
268
00:00:00,362 --> 00:00:00,363
But if alien invaders really
have been coming to Earth
269
00:00:00,363 --> 00:00:00,364
and spreading disease and
plague over the centuries,
270
00:00:00,365 --> 00:00:00,365
why?
271
00:00:00,365 --> 00:00:00,365
to kill us?
272
00:00:00,366 --> 00:00:00,366
to strengthen us?
273
00:00:00,366 --> 00:00:00,367
Or is it simply to reduce our numbers?
274
00:00:00,367 --> 00:00:00,368
Why would you drop a
virus down on this planet?
275
00:00:00,368 --> 00:00:00,369
They're trying to build up
our immune system?
276
00:00:00,369 --> 00:00:00,369
Are they trying to wipe us out?
277
00:00:00,369 --> 00:00:00,370
Are we the laboratory of the universe?
278
00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:00,371
"Let's see if this bug wipes
out this civilization
279
00:00:00,371 --> 00:00:00,372
in order to protect ourselves."
280
00:00:00,372 --> 00:00:00,372
All possibilities.
281
00:00:00,372 --> 00:00:00,374
If extraterrestrials do
have a sinister agenda,
282
00:00:00,374 --> 00:00:00,375
why not just attack our planet
with a weapon of mass destruction?
283
00:00:00,375 --> 00:00:00,376
Why go through that
trouble if all you have to
284
00:00:00,376 --> 00:00:00,378
do is release a toxin into the air,
a plague, some type of virus?
285
00:00:00,378 --> 00:00:00,379
It's way more efficient.
286
00:00:00,379 --> 00:00:00,380
But there is another theory.
287
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:00,381
One more incredible than tales of
bronze spaceships and grim reapers.
288
00:00:00,382 --> 00:00:00,383
Because it is a theory so simple
and so potentially devastating,
289
00:00:00,383 --> 00:00:00,384
it has mainstream scientists
290
00:00:00,384 --> 00:00:00,385
scratching their heads
and running for cover.
291
00:00:00,387 --> 00:00:00,387
1540.
292
00:00:00,387 --> 00:00:00,388
The Rio Grande Valley.
293
00:00:00,388 --> 00:00:00,389
When Francisco Coronado and the
Spanish first explored the area
294
00:00:00,389 --> 00:00:00,391
that is now New Mexico, they
brought with them a devastating
295
00:00:00,391 --> 00:00:00,392
weapon they did not even realize
was part of their arsenal--
296
00:00:00,392 --> 00:00:00,393
disease.
297
00:00:00,393 --> 00:00:00,394
Smallpox, chicken pox, and
measles spread through the
298
00:00:00,394 --> 00:00:00,395
indigenous peoples far faster
than the Conquistadores
299
00:00:00,395 --> 00:00:00,396
themselves could actually travel.
300
00:00:00,396 --> 00:00:00,397
Viruses and bacteria caused
301
00:00:00,397 --> 00:00:00,398
severe plagues that have really
changed the course of history.
302
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:00,399
So when the Conquistadores
came over to the New World,
303
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:00,400
they inadvertently carried small
pox, they were immune to it
304
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:00,402
but the Native Americans had never seen
small pox and they were devastated.
305
00:00:00,402 --> 00:00:00,403
That led to the Conquistadores
with 900 or so soldiers
306
00:00:00,403 --> 00:00:00,404
that were able to destroy
the Aztec empire.
307
00:00:00,404 --> 00:00:00,405
Hundreds of thousands of people,
maybe a million or more people,
308
00:00:00,405 --> 00:00:00,406
died simply because they were exposed
to the viruses of the white man.
309
00:00:00,407 --> 00:00:00,408
The native populations in
the American Northeast
310
00:00:00,408 --> 00:00:00,409
suffered a similar fate
when the European colonists
311
00:00:00,409 --> 00:00:00,410
first arrived on their shores.
312
00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:00,411
The islands of the South Pacific
also had their populations
313
00:00:00,411 --> 00:00:00,412
decimated by Captain
James Cook and his crew.
314
00:00:00,412 --> 00:00:00,414
Are we like the other places where if
we get something we haven't seen before
315
00:00:00,414 --> 00:00:00,415
would it wipe us out
quickly for us to react?
316
00:00:00,415 --> 00:00:00,417
"The War of the Worlds" was a
beautiful story in the sense
317
00:00:00,417 --> 00:00:00,418
that, at the very end, the
common cold killed the aliens.
318
00:00:00,418 --> 00:00:00,418
Because it's too hard to believe
the other thing could happen,
319
00:00:00,418 --> 00:00:00,419
that the alien sneezed on us,
and they didn't have to do
320
00:00:00,419 --> 00:00:00,420
anything more than that.
321
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:00,420
Why is that any more farfetched?
322
00:00:00,421 --> 00:00:00,421
For many ancient astronaut theorists,
323
00:00:00,421 --> 00:00:00,423
the possibility of alien diseases
being transmitted in much the
324
00:00:00,423 --> 00:00:00,424
same way is a distinct possibility.
325
00:00:00,424 --> 00:00:00,425
My take is, if we've had diseases
since the beginning of time
326
00:00:00,425 --> 00:00:00,427
and we had visitations, it's very
possible that they accidentally brought
327
00:00:00,427 --> 00:00:00,427
these diseases to us.
328
00:00:00,427 --> 00:00:00,429
Here on Earth, viruses
often thrive in new environments.
329
00:00:00,429 --> 00:00:00,430
Could the same be true of viruses
entering our planet from another world?
330
00:00:00,431 --> 00:00:00,432
And if extraterrestrial viruses
do exist, could they survive
331
00:00:00,432 --> 00:00:00,433
the interstellar journey to Earth?
332
00:00:00,433 --> 00:00:00,435
Many scientists believe the answer
can be found in microscopic organisms
333
00:00:00,435 --> 00:00:00,436
called extremophiles.
334
00:00:00,436 --> 00:00:00,437
An extremophile is an organism that
can survive extreme conditions.
335
00:00:00,437 --> 00:00:00,438
High temperatures, low temperatures,
high pressure, low pressure and so on.
336
00:00:00,438 --> 00:00:00,439
Now of course, the term is based
on humans, what we find extreme.
337
00:00:00,439 --> 00:00:00,440
But from its perspective,
we are extremophiles.
338
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:00,441
You know, we live in oxygen,
which is poisonous to this
339
00:00:00,441 --> 00:00:00,441
anaerobic organism.
340
00:00:00,441 --> 00:00:00,442
So if it was studying
us, it would say,
341
00:00:00,442 --> 00:00:00,443
"Hey, them humans are
amazing extremophiles.
342
00:00:00,443 --> 00:00:00,443
"They can breathe oxygen."
343
00:00:00,443 --> 00:00:00,444
Life has been found on almost every
single environment on Earth.
344
00:00:00,444 --> 00:00:00,445
And this is so exciting
because other planets
345
00:00:00,445 --> 00:00:00,445
have very different
conditions from Earth.
346
00:00:00,445 --> 00:00:00,446
And it gives us hope that if life can
exist on almost any single condition
347
00:00:00,446 --> 00:00:00,447
on Earth that it can also
live on another planet.
348
00:00:00,448 --> 00:00:00,449
Space, 2007.
349
00:00:00,449 --> 00:00:00,450
A bacteria-ridden chunk of rock
is strapped to the outside of
350
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:00,451
the lnternational Space Station.
351
00:00:00,451 --> 00:00:00,453
After 18 months in the hostile environment
of space, the rock is retrieved.
352
00:00:00,453 --> 00:00:00,453
And one colony of bacteria
actually survived.
353
00:00:00,453 --> 00:00:00,454
And the lnternational Space
Station is in low Earth orbit.
354
00:00:00,454 --> 00:00:00,455
It's going into orbit
day and orbit night.
355
00:00:00,455 --> 00:00:00,455
It has wild temperature swings.
356
00:00:00,455 --> 00:00:00,457
It gets cosmic radiation, and the vacuum
of space, and the life still survived.
357
00:00:00,458 --> 00:00:00,458
Though many scientists
still reject the idea
358
00:00:00,458 --> 00:00:00,460
of microscopic forms of life
existing in space, even NASA
359
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:00,461
takes great precautions in
protecting people from any
360
00:00:00,461 --> 00:00:00,462
potential alien contamination.
361
00:00:00,462 --> 00:00:00,462
When the astronauts went to the Moon
362
00:00:00,462 --> 00:00:00,464
they were in two weeks of isolation,
because the idea of dormant viruses
363
00:00:00,464 --> 00:00:00,466
on our Moon surface was
taken very seriously.
364
00:00:00,466 --> 00:00:00,467
In the same way, that ancient aliens
might have come to planet Earth
365
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:00,469
in hazmat suits to protect themselves
and us from contamination,
366
00:00:00,469 --> 00:00:00,469
so NASA does that very thing today.
367
00:00:00,470 --> 00:00:00,472
In 2006 and 2008, biologists on board
several space shuttle missions,
368
00:00:00,472 --> 00:00:00,472
made a frightening discovery.
369
00:00:00,473 --> 00:00:00,475
Salmonella bacteria exposed to 0 gravity
actually got deadlier by as much as 700%.
370
00:00:00,475 --> 00:00:00,477
It's interesting that what they
found was that at zero gravity
371
00:00:00,477 --> 00:00:00,478
they have mutations on the
culture led to a huge increase
372
00:00:00,478 --> 00:00:00,479
in virulence of the salmonella super
bug, they do the best in terms of
373
00:00:00,479 --> 00:00:00,481
their mission to self replicate on the
0 gravity, to me it's another indication
374
00:00:00,481 --> 00:00:00,482
that bacteria are space travelers.
375
00:00:00,483 --> 00:00:00,484
What you have is this risk
that if you are bringing in
376
00:00:00,484 --> 00:00:00,486
viruses or elements from outer
space it could become a much more
377
00:00:00,486 --> 00:00:00,486
deadly form of that same germ that
initially had developed on Earth
378
00:00:00,487 --> 00:00:00,488
The ability of viruses to evolve and
mutate at an incredibly rapid rate
379
00:00:00,488 --> 00:00:00,490
was also at the root of deadliest
pandemic in recorded history.
380
00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:00,491
The same one that followed
the Fatima event in Portugal,
381
00:00:00,491 --> 00:00:00,492
the Spanish lnfluenza.
382
00:00:00,492 --> 00:00:00,493
We don't know why it came, why it left.
It made World War I look puny.
383
00:00:00,493 --> 00:00:00,494
No weapons, class debarments,
nobody had raised the level for
384
00:00:00,494 --> 00:00:00,495
defense, it killed with little effort.
385
00:00:00,495 --> 00:00:00,497
Thinking in terms of today's numbers,
the 50 to 100 million people who died
386
00:00:00,497 --> 00:00:00,498
in the course of that outbreak
would represent perhaps
387
00:00:00,498 --> 00:00:00,499
300 or 400 million in today's terms.
388
00:00:00,499 --> 00:00:00,499
It was a normal influenza,
but it changed.
389
00:00:00,499 --> 00:00:00,500
It was mutated.
390
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:00,501
We had a pandemic flu that
was killing young people.
391
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:00,501
They were dropping dead like flies.
392
00:00:00,502 --> 00:00:00,503
Scientists more recently have
come up with this theory
393
00:00:00,503 --> 00:00:00,503
that, yeah, it must've
come from space.
394
00:00:00,504 --> 00:00:00,505
It opens the possibility that
there is a UFO connection.
395
00:00:00,505 --> 00:00:00,506
Perhaps they are managing us
in a very brutal fashion.
396
00:00:00,506 --> 00:00:00,507
The Spanish lnfluenza eventually
397
00:00:00,507 --> 00:00:00,508
disappeared just as quickly
as it had arrived,
398
00:00:00,508 --> 00:00:00,509
fading away completely
just a year later in 1919.
399
00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:00,511
Scientists believe it had
mutated to the point it was
400
00:00:00,511 --> 00:00:00,511
no longer harmful to humans.
401
00:00:00,512 --> 00:00:00,513
But how did this incredibly
deadly virus strike
402
00:00:00,513 --> 00:00:00,514
simultaneously all over the globe?
403
00:00:00,514 --> 00:00:00,515
Could it have had any connection
to the strange events at Fatima,
404
00:00:00,515 --> 00:00:00,516
and the dire predictions
communicated to three children,
405
00:00:00,516 --> 00:00:00,517
supposedly from a heavenly,
406
00:00:00,517 --> 00:00:00,518
or what some would call
an extraterrestrial source?
407
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:00,521
September15th 2007
408
00:00:00,522 --> 00:00:00,523
Residents of Carancas, Peru,
watch in fascination as a
409
00:00:00,523 --> 00:00:00,524
gigantic fireball
streaks across the sky.
410
00:00:00,524 --> 00:00:00,525
There is a loud explosion---
411
00:00:00,525 --> 00:00:00,527
and a crash that shakes
the ground violently.
412
00:00:00,527 --> 00:00:00,528
Something large and mysterious
has fallen to Earth, causing
413
00:00:00,528 --> 00:00:00,529
a crater that scatters debris
for nearly a mile in every direction.
414
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:00,532
Fascination turns to fear
when, just a few days later,
415
00:00:00,532 --> 00:00:00,533
hundreds of people become
strangely and violently ill.
416
00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:00,535
An extraterrestrial fireball impacted
the ground near Carancas in Peru.
417
00:00:00,535 --> 00:00:00,536
This impact sickened a great
many people in that area.
418
00:00:00,537 --> 00:00:00,539
That was never explained by authorities
who couldn't really have an answer
419
00:00:00,539 --> 00:00:00,540
for why a meteorite strike would
cause all these people to get sick.
420
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:00,542
Meteorites are thought to very be clean
and without bacteria or noxious gases.
421
00:00:00,543 --> 00:00:00,544
Does this event suggest that
microbes and other living organisms
422
00:00:00,544 --> 00:00:00,545
not of this earth exists
somewhere in the universe.
423
00:00:00,546 --> 00:00:00,547
It would be narrow-minded to accept
that all our trillions of bacteria
424
00:00:00,547 --> 00:00:00,548
and viruses are so unique
to take to her everywhere
425
00:00:00,548 --> 00:00:00,549
and every part of this world,
that they wouldn't occur
426
00:00:00,549 --> 00:00:00,550
in other planets or other
systems around the universe.
427
00:00:00,551 --> 00:00:00,552
The Stardust mission.
428
00:00:00,552 --> 00:00:00,552
2006.
429
00:00:00,553 --> 00:00:00,555
A NASA spacecraft plunges through
the tail of comet 81P-Wild---
430
00:00:00,555 --> 00:00:00,556
collecting comet particles on
blocks of a sticky material
431
00:00:00,556 --> 00:00:00,558
called aerogel.
432
00:00:00,558 --> 00:00:00,559
The findings stun even the
most cynical scientists.
433
00:00:00,559 --> 00:00:00,560
The Stardust detector came back
to Earth, and the particles collected
434
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:00,562
were studied in detail and many
organic compounds were found
435
00:00:00,562 --> 00:00:00,563
including the amino acid Glycine,
which is a building block for life.
436
00:00:00,564 --> 00:00:00,565
Might asteroids and
meteors really be the
437
00:00:00,565 --> 00:00:00,566
delivery system for alien
microbes and other
438
00:00:00,566 --> 00:00:00,566
extraterrestrial life-forms?
439
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:00,569
Could strange germs and deadly
diseases be the result of
440
00:00:00,569 --> 00:00:00,569
biological hitchhikers in space?
441
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:00,571
If you look at the
historical records---
442
00:00:00,571 --> 00:00:00,572
plagues come suddenly,
from almost nowhere.
443
00:00:00,573 --> 00:00:00,574
So I think comets are the natural carriers
that one could look to as to being
444
00:00:00,574 --> 00:00:00,575
the source of these epidemics.
445
00:00:00,576 --> 00:00:00,577
Comets were feared by almost
all ancient civilizations---
446
00:00:00,577 --> 00:00:00,578
as bringers of pestilence and death.
447
00:00:00,578 --> 00:00:00,579
But were they really
primitive superstitions?
448
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:00,581
In the 1960's, Nobel
Laureate Harold Urey
449
00:00:00,581 --> 00:00:00,582
developed a new field of
science called cosmochemistry.
450
00:00:00,582 --> 00:00:00,584
He theorized that meteorites
contained the fossilized remains
451
00:00:00,584 --> 00:00:00,584
of space bacteria.
452
00:00:00,584 --> 00:00:00,585
It was dismissed almost instantly by
453
00:00:00,585 --> 00:00:00,587
a huge establishment of
American meteoritic scientists.
454
00:00:00,587 --> 00:00:00,588
There's no way, they said, argued
that life could be inside a comet,
455
00:00:00,588 --> 00:00:00,589
and so it was sort of---
essentially swept under the rug.
456
00:00:00,591 --> 00:00:00,593
In 1996, NASA researchers,
led by David McKay
457
00:00:00,593 --> 00:00:00,594
of the Johnson Space Center,
announced that another space
458
00:00:00,594 --> 00:00:00,595
rock found in Antarctica--
meteorite ALH84001--
459
00:00:00,595 --> 00:00:00,596
contained the fossilized
remains of life on Mars.
460
00:00:00,597 --> 00:00:00,598
It must be confirmed
by other scientists,
461
00:00:00,598 --> 00:00:00,599
but clearly, the fact that
something of this magnitude is
462
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:00,600
being explored is another
vindication of America's space
463
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,601
program and our continuing
464
00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:00,602
support for it, even in these
tough financial times.
465
00:00:00,603 --> 00:00:00,604
Even as recently as March
of 2011, NASA scientist
466
00:00:00,604 --> 00:00:00,605
Richard Hoover published evidence
of life found in meteorites.
467
00:00:00,606 --> 00:00:00,606
Richard Hoover found really stunning
468
00:00:00,606 --> 00:00:00,608
images of microscopic organisms
resembling modern organisms.
469
00:00:00,609 --> 00:00:00,610
This was published in March of 2011
in the Journal of Cosmology,
470
00:00:00,611 --> 00:00:00,612
and it's caused the biggest rumpus in
science that I recall in my entire career.
471
00:00:00,613 --> 00:00:00,614
High officials of NASA were livid,
because here was this guy
472
00:00:00,614 --> 00:00:00,615
at Marshall Space Flight Center
trying to overturn a paradigm.
473
00:00:00,615 --> 00:00:00,616
If alien bacteria has
entered the Earth's
474
00:00:00,616 --> 00:00:00,617
atmosphere, could it have
been sent here deliberately?
475
00:00:00,617 --> 00:00:00,617
Well, the answer is yes.
476
00:00:00,617 --> 00:00:00,618
If they were trying to invade
a planet, they would do it by
477
00:00:00,618 --> 00:00:00,620
putting their own bacteria on
pieces of rock and making sure
478
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:00,621
that landed on planet Earth, and
in so doing, create a series of
479
00:00:00,621 --> 00:00:00,622
violent epidemics that would wipe
out the planet's population.
480
00:00:00,624 --> 00:00:00,625
Kerala, India,
2001.
481
00:00:00,625 --> 00:00:00,627
A cosmic bang---
a massive explosion in
482
00:00:00,627 --> 00:00:00,628
the atmosphere, and then---
483
00:00:00,628 --> 00:00:00,629
a downpour of red rain.
484
00:00:00,629 --> 00:00:00,630
It is eerily reminiscent of
ancient myths and stories about
485
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:00,631
blood coming down from the sky.
486
00:00:00,631 --> 00:00:00,632
Homer writes in The Iliad about
a blood rain foreshadowing
487
00:00:00,632 --> 00:00:00,633
slaughter in battle.
488
00:00:00,633 --> 00:00:00,634
Gregory of Tours witnessed a
blood rain before the outbreak
489
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:00,635
of the Justinian Plague.
490
00:00:00,635 --> 00:00:00,637
And in 14th century Germany,
a shower of blood reportedly
491
00:00:00,637 --> 00:00:00,637
preceded the Black Death.
492
00:00:00,638 --> 00:00:00,639
It is like the human world seeing
the effect of the immortal world
493
00:00:00,639 --> 00:00:00,640
The gods are so affected by our
lives that they are willing to
494
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,641
change the laws of the physical
world so that something we
495
00:00:00,641 --> 00:00:00,642
experience as rain, in
fact, comes down as blood.
496
00:00:00,643 --> 00:00:00,644
After the incident in Kerala,
biologist Dr. Godfrey
497
00:00:00,644 --> 00:00:00,645
Louis is able to collect samples
of the strange red liquid.
498
00:00:00,645 --> 00:00:00,646
He collected the rain
as clean as possible,
499
00:00:00,646 --> 00:00:00,647
and it was discovered that they
500
00:00:00,647 --> 00:00:00,648
contained cells that
looked like living cells.
501
00:00:00,648 --> 00:00:00,649
So it's some kind of organism.
502
00:00:00,649 --> 00:00:00,650
Now where's it come from?
503
00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:00,650
Does it come from space or
does it come from Earth?
504
00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:00,651
This is the big question.
505
00:00:00,651 --> 00:00:00,652
Because, of course, the
meteorite immediately puts it
506
00:00:00,652 --> 00:00:00,653
into the realms of mystery, space.
507
00:00:00,653 --> 00:00:00,655
To date, there have been
no verifiable reports of
508
00:00:00,655 --> 00:00:00,656
illness connected with
the blood rain in Kerala---
509
00:00:00,656 --> 00:00:00,657
but if meteors and other
falling objects from space
510
00:00:00,657 --> 00:00:00,659
really do contain deadly bacteria,
is it simply an accident---
511
00:00:00,659 --> 00:00:00,661
or is it possible that what
we think of as natural
512
00:00:00,661 --> 00:00:00,662
phenomena are really part of another,
perhaps more insidious plan?
513
00:00:00,663 --> 00:00:00,665
In 2001, Mary Leitao, a former
hospital lab technician in Boston
514
00:00:00,665 --> 00:00:00,666
discovers red, blue,
black, and white
515
00:00:00,666 --> 00:00:00,667
fibers in sores under her
two-year-old son's lip.
516
00:00:00,668 --> 00:00:00,669
Eight different doctors are
unable to find any disease,
517
00:00:00,669 --> 00:00:00,670
allergy, or anything unusual
518
00:00:00,670 --> 00:00:00,671
that might be causing
her son's condition.
519
00:00:00,671 --> 00:00:00,672
Today this condition has a name--
520
00:00:00,672 --> 00:00:00,673
Morgellons disease--
521
00:00:00,673 --> 00:00:00,674
And according to the Morgellons
Research Foundation,
522
00:00:00,674 --> 00:00:00,676
it has affected more than 12,000 families
from all 50 states and 15 other countries.
523
00:00:00,677 --> 00:00:00,678
No one knows what Morgellons
is, it appears to be
524
00:00:00,678 --> 00:00:00,679
a brand new arrival in the medical scene.
To have Morgellons disease,
525
00:00:00,679 --> 00:00:00,680
is to live a waking
nightmare without end.
526
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,681
To the best of my knowledge, there
have been no cures to Morgellons.
527
00:00:00,681 --> 00:00:00,682
And partly I think it's because
we don't know what the cause is.
528
00:00:00,682 --> 00:00:00,683
A physician who's trying to
treat a patient with Morgellons
529
00:00:00,683 --> 00:00:00,684
is pretty much just
shooting in the dark.
530
00:00:00,684 --> 00:00:00,685
Sufferers of the mysterious
disease complain of
531
00:00:00,685 --> 00:00:00,686
neurological problems similar
to multiple sclerosis
532
00:00:00,687 --> 00:00:00,688
and massive oozing skin rashes
that seem to have a life of their own.
533
00:00:00,688 --> 00:00:00,689
The overt dermatological
symptoms would be
534
00:00:00,689 --> 00:00:00,691
open sores on the skin-- usually round,
volcanic almost looking in nature.
535
00:00:00,691 --> 00:00:00,692
Most people with
Morgellons have crawling
536
00:00:00,692 --> 00:00:00,692
sensations in their skin.
537
00:00:00,692 --> 00:00:00,693
Sometimes they describe it as
almost as though something is
538
00:00:00,693 --> 00:00:00,694
inside there, biting or stinging.
539
00:00:00,695 --> 00:00:00,696
Inside the lesions,
sufferers have discovered
540
00:00:00,696 --> 00:00:00,697
colored fibers, like those
found on Mary Leitao's son.
541
00:00:00,697 --> 00:00:00,698
You wouldn't believe how
many dermatologists have
542
00:00:00,698 --> 00:00:00,698
gotten phone calls and e-mails
from, saying, "Sorry, humans
543
00:00:00,698 --> 00:00:00,699
don't grow red and blue fibers."
544
00:00:00,699 --> 00:00:00,700
Well, as a physiologist, I'm
quite aware of that fact, but it
545
00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:00,701
doesn't change the fact that
these fibers are present, and
546
00:00:00,701 --> 00:00:00,702
this mystery is, well, where
are the fibers coming from?
547
00:00:00,702 --> 00:00:00,703
Is there a microorganism that
is producing these fibers?
548
00:00:00,703 --> 00:00:00,704
We have absolutely no idea.
549
00:00:00,704 --> 00:00:00,705
The university forwarded
a number of samples to
550
00:00:00,705 --> 00:00:00,706
the Tulsa Crime Lab, who ran
them through their database, the
551
00:00:00,706 --> 00:00:00,707
FBI database, were unable
to find any match.
552
00:00:00,709 --> 00:00:00,709
The earth is being bombarded
by tons of debris from
553
00:00:00,709 --> 00:00:00,711
outer space every year, and so,
is it possible that an organism
554
00:00:00,711 --> 00:00:00,712
that we wouldn't recognize came
down with that debris, and
555
00:00:00,712 --> 00:00:00,712
that's the cause of Morgellons?
556
00:00:00,712 --> 00:00:00,713
Well, I just try and
stay open-minded.
557
00:00:00,713 --> 00:00:00,714
We can't really say yes,
we can't say no.
558
00:00:00,715 --> 00:00:00,716
But what is the cause
of Morgellons disease?
559
00:00:00,716 --> 00:00:00,717
Is it simply an Earth-based
mutation of a known virus?
560
00:00:00,717 --> 00:00:00,719
Or does it have other, perhaps
interplanetary origins?
561
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:00,720
If we look at something that
came from a distant planet
562
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:00,721
it's so different, that it
could do anything from
563
00:00:00,721 --> 00:00:00,723
makes us better, makes us the same, or
in the long run, create a new disease.
564
00:00:00,723 --> 00:00:00,725
Or maybe it doesn't produce disease,
because diseases don't just produce fever,
565
00:00:00,725 --> 00:00:00,726
headache, it may change our thought
process, our reality, how we
566
00:00:00,726 --> 00:00:00,727
move, how we think, how long
we live, even our emotions.
567
00:00:00,728 --> 00:00:00,729
Living microbes in outer space.
568
00:00:00,729 --> 00:00:00,731
Bacteria capable of mutating and
becoming more powerful in zero gravity.
569
00:00:00,731 --> 00:00:00,732
Comets carrying deadly,
alien life-forms.
570
00:00:00,733 --> 00:00:00,734
Could humankind be at the mercy
of extraterrestrial forces that
571
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:00,735
are invisible to the naked eye?
572
00:00:00,735 --> 00:00:00,736
The best estimates that I've heard
are the number of bacteria in the world
573
00:00:00,736 --> 00:00:00,738
is something in the range of 5 followed
by 30 zeroes, it is a staggering number.
574
00:00:00,738 --> 00:00:00,739
We're discovering more
and more all the time.
575
00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:00,740
The real question is this--- who
is really leading the world?
576
00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:00,742
Us or the trillions and trillions of
viruses that we walk upon, and may be
577
00:00:00,742 --> 00:00:00,743
playing a much more intimate part
of our lives that we ever thought.
578
00:00:00,743 --> 00:00:00,744
Is it possible that we somehow
are being prepared for something
579
00:00:00,744 --> 00:00:00,746
which is going to affect Earth
as a global civilization.
580
00:00:00,746 --> 00:00:00,747
It's, somehow, is very important
that we are strong enough so
581
00:00:00,747 --> 00:00:00,748
that we will be able to cope
with something which might be
582
00:00:00,748 --> 00:00:00,749
coming our way?
583
00:00:00,749 --> 00:00:00,749
The more you know all the details,
584
00:00:00,749 --> 00:00:00,750
the more frightening the thoughts
are about what's coming next.
585
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:00,751
The clock begins when the
disease hits, and we don't know
586
00:00:00,751 --> 00:00:00,752
how much time
the clock is giving us.
587
00:00:00,752 --> 00:00:00,753
That's the fear of the future.
588
00:00:00,753 --> 00:00:00,754
For thousands of years,
we have wondered if we
589
00:00:00,754 --> 00:00:00,756
are alone in the universe, but
could alien life-forms have been
590
00:00:00,756 --> 00:00:00,756
among us all along?
591
00:00:00,756 --> 00:00:00,758
If countless strains of deadly
bacteria are coming to Earth
592
00:00:00,758 --> 00:00:00,759
from other worlds, is this the
proof we need that there is life
593
00:00:00,759 --> 00:00:00,760
on other planets?
594
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:00,761
Could it be only by coincidence
that these life-forms have made
595
00:00:00,761 --> 00:00:00,763
contact with us in the form
of plagues and epidemics,
596
00:00:00,763 --> 00:00:00,765
or is there another, perhaps
alien, intelligence at work--
597
00:00:00,765 --> 00:00:00,766
an intelligence which seeks
to reduce our numbers
598
00:00:00,766 --> 00:00:00,767
or maybe prepare us for something
599
00:00:00,767 --> 00:00:00,769
If so, what and when.
