All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens S07E03 The Star Children

[ Children Laughing ]

[Man Narrating]
They have super-human intelligence-

They are vastly more intelligent
than the average person.

Knowledge of other worlds-

He was able to access information
that there's no way he could know about.

And possess mysterious powers.

[ Man ] There was one girl
who could wave her hands...

and, spontaneously, the flower buds popped
open right in front of everyone's eyes.

[Narrator] On every continent, there are
incredible stories of children so advanced...

that some believe
they come from the stars.

[ Man ] So these star children,
in a way, are some new race perhaps...

that's living amongst us right now.

[Narrator]
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 help to shape our history?

And if so, might there be a connection...

between extraterrestrials
and star children?

[Narrator]
Throughout the world...

there are children
who possess astonishing abilities.

In 2002, Sho Yano
graduated summa cum laude...

from Loyola University, Chicago,
at the age of 12.

Six years later, he received a Ph.D.
in molecular genetics and cell biology.

In 2006, six-year-old
Ainan Celeste Cawley of Singapore-

who spoke
his first words at two weeks old-

gave a science lecture
about acid and alkaloids.

And in 2013, Adam Kirby became
the youngest member of British Mensa...

at just two years old...

scoring 141 on an I.Q. test...

and reading books by the age of 10 months.

Highly gifted children often know things
that they shouldn't know.

They often surprise us with the things they're
able to understand at very young ages...

and they're able to bring together
disparate pieces of information...

from history, scientific discovery...

and their own experiences
and heightened intuitive sense.

[Narrator]
Throughout human history...

there have been children who stand out
for their advanced knowledge...

and incredible abilities.

But are these uniquely talented
and intelligent children...

simply the product of good genetics?

Or could there be another explanation...

for why some children display abilities
far beyond their years?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe
there are children born here on Earth...

who have a connection
to beings from beyond our world.

They call them star children.

When we see these star children...

these children who are gifted
with extraordinary human function...

born seeming to know things already-

Show that there is some sort
of interaction going on...

with a nonphysical intelligence.

[ Man ] The concept
is that children are being born...

with a higher level of awareness.

These kids, many people believe...

are being born in order to help
usher in a true new age-

a time of peace,
a time of greater consciousness...

and greater prosperity for the planet.

What is commonly termed
the star children...

has always been with the American
Indian people throughout the ages.

And these are special children.

They're the ones that can heal
with their hands.

These star children are said to have
lots of special qualities.

Their psychic abilities are quite enhanced.

So these star children, in a way...

are some new race
that's living amongst us right now.

[Narrator] Is it possible that some
of the world's most gifted children...

really have an otherworldly connection-

a connection that endows them
with special gifts...

and the power to transform society?

Today, there is evidence that a higher
number of unusually gifted children...

are being born than ever before.

[ Wilcock ] There is genetic evidence
to prove that humans...

are evolving at a rapid rate of speed.

For example, an anthropologist
from the University of Wisconsin...

named Professor John Hawks
studied human D.N.A...

and what he found was that,
in the past 5,000 years alone...

human D.N.A. has evolved by seven percent
in its overall genetic structure.

That is a staggering amount.

Every decade, we're getting smarter
and smarter and smarter.

[Narrator] But those who have studied
the star children phenomenon...

say that these unusually gifted children
display more than just superior intelligence.

[ Man ] Star kids are advanced
in several departments.

These kids are much brighter than the old
schoolchild of a previous generation.

They are very sensitive.

They are compassionate.

They have a mission sense.

They're using special gifts
they have as advanced star kids.

For example, in the area of telepathy...

they can pick up on things
that somebody else is thinking or sensing.

Parents of star children know
that their children are different.

Maybe their child is psychic...

and talking about seeing things
that other people can't see...

or hearing things other
people can't hear...

or knowing things
that other people don't know.

Some of the star children
have very high energy.

They can go long periods
without sleeping, without eating.

It's just not your normal, typical child.

[Narrator]
According to Nikki Pattillo...

her daughter, Maddy, has told her
that her home is in the sky...

and has displayed
numerous astonishing abilities...

like telekinesis and psychic visions.

But could 10-year-old Maddy Pattillo
really have superhuman abilities?

If so, where did they come from?

And is it possible that star children
have been with us for thousands of years?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say evidence that star children...

may have existed on Earth
in the distant past...

can be found in a story
that dates back over 2, 000 years.

Greece, the sixth century B.C.

Mnesarchus, the father of philosopher
and mathematician, Pythagoras...

was traveling home from work one day...

when he came upon
an abandoned infant staring at the sun...

and he was surviving solely on the dew
from a nearby tree.

[ Man ]
Mnesarchus named this baby Astraios...

which literally means
"star child" in Greek.

And here is an early example
of a magical child.

He adopted it. He raised it with Pythagoras
and his two brothers.

It was part of their family.

[Narrator] According to the Greek myth,
as recorded by Antonius Diogenes...

Mnesarchus gave the child to Pythagoras
to be his servant and apprentice.

Although Pythagoras is considered one
of history's greatest mathematical minds...

some ancient astronaut theorists believe...

he may have received advanced knowledge
from the boy, Astraios.

It's believed that Astraios
was actually sent to Earth...

in order to instruct Pythagoras...

whose mystic concepts became
foundational to the ancient world.

So, here we have a curious story
of someone named Star Child...

who had these special powers...

whose birth is really a mystery.

And so this child, Astraios...

was perhaps one of the early extraterrestrial
children sent to planet Earth.

[Narrator] Could this peculiar child
have actually instructed...

one of the greatest minds
of the ancient world?

And considering the Greeks described powerful
beings who came down from the sky...

is it possible, as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest...

that Astraios was the offspring
of the gods-

part human and part divine?

Many ancient cultures-
among them the ancient Greeks...

and the Egyptians and many others-

describe how some children were born
from humans and the so-called gods.

Star children are what some
consider a new breed of people.

[Narrator] Is the story of Astraios
really an early account of a star child?

And if the star children have existed
here on Earth throughout our history...

what is the source of their superior
intelligence and unexplainable abilities?

[ Man ] Science tells us that in addition
to the two-strand double helix D.N.A...

there's an additional 10 etheric strands
of D.N.A. that is dormant in humans...

and has been since recorded history.

It's highly possible that alien creators
have designed us this way...

and certain individuals
are chosen throughout time...

to awaken these dormant strands
in order to help mankind advance.

[Narrator] Are star children really tapping
into something inherent in our D.N.A.?

According to geneticist David Reich
of the Harvard Medical School...

there is, in fact, something mysterious
inside us that has yet to be identified.

In his study,
published in the fall of 2013...

Reich examined the genome
of Neanderthals...

and another group of ancient hominids
known as Denisovans...

both of which interbred with humans.

He discovered that their D.N.A.,
dating back more than 400, 000 years...

contains an unknown ancestor.

Now, this is incredibly exciting to me
because I've always maintained...

that what some geneticists currently
refer to as junk D.N.A...

might not be junk after all.

And this study proves this in part.

D.N.A. is a code.

And just because its code
hasn't been cracked yet...

doesn't mean it's actually junk.

And to speculate even further...

what if this unknown species
was not of earthly origin...

and every human being
already is part alien?

[Narrator] Is it really possible
that extraterrestrial beings...

modified mankind's D.N.A.
in the distant past...

as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

And if so, might certain exceptional
people, like star children...

have found a way
to channel their alien origins?

Perhaps additional clues
lie in the Mexican desert...

where a discovery was made
of a mysterious skull.

[Narrator]
Copper Canyon, Mexico.

In 1930, while exploring a mine tunnel...

a teenage girl unearths two skulls.

One of them is oddly misshaped.

Radiocarbon-dating tests reveal
the skull is roughly 900 years old.

And according to a dentist
who examined the upper jaw...

the mysterious relic came from a child
no more than five years old.

Mainstream scientists
insist the deformation...

of what is now known as the Starchild skull
is due to a genetic disorder...

most likely hydrocephalus...

a condition in which an abnormal amount
of fluid causes the skull to enlarge.

But paranormal researcher
and caretaker of the skull, Lloyd Pye...

says he has ruled out this possibility
based on the skull's unique shape.

[ Pye ] It wasn't hydrocephalic.

Because it's clear that if you're
hydrocephalic, you blow up like a balloon.

You don't blow up with a defined shape
and with a crease down the middle.

You definitely don't grow up
with a crease down the middle...

between two of your suture lines.

[Narrator] But many researchers are not
only baffled by the volume of the skull-

which measures more than 10 percent
larger than that of an average adult-

but also a number of other characteristics
they say are distinctly not human.

The Starchild skull has half the thickness
of ordinary human bone...

but it's also twice as dense
as ordinary human bone...

with a consistency more similar
to dental enamel.

It has bizarre, thick strands in it...

almost like there's some extra-powerful
weave inside the bone.

It also has this bizarre reddish residue...

that appears to be similar
to bone marrow...

but very different
from what we normally see.

[ Man ]
There are no sinus cavities, for instance.

There are many attachments inside the skull
for tendons that human beings don't have.

And it appears to be some sort
of hybridization.

It's part human
but also part something else.

[Narrator] When the Starchild skull
is subjected to forensic reconstruction...

the face that is produced appears eerily
similar to descriptions of gray aliens.

It has all the physical attributes...

that are typically described
by people who have encounters...

or allege that they have encounters
with gray aliens.

It has very unusual eyes.

It has expanded parietals.

It has a crease down the middle.

It has a very, very narrow lower face.

Plus, it has that monster brain
in that head.

[Narrator] Lloyd Pye launched
what he calls the Starchild Project...

working with independent researchers
to determine...

exactly who, or what,
this unusual skull belonged to.

According to him, D.N.A. tests
carried out by Trace Genetics in 2003...

revealed shocking results.

While scientists uncovered
mitochondrial D.N.A...

or D.N.A. inherited
solely from the mother...

they were unable to detect
nuclear D.N.A...

or D.N.A. from both
the mother and father.

[ Pye ] When we tried to recover
the Starchild's nuclear D.N.A...

in six attempts, no recovery.

So at that time,
what that obviously indicated was...

if the Starchild's mitochondrial D.N.A.
was recoverable...

that meant it had a human mother.

And if its nuclear D.N.A.
was not recoverable...

then there was something wrong
with the father's D.N.A.

'Cause if the father had been human...

you would have had as easy a recovery of it
as you did of the human mother.

So we knew right then, in 2003...

something was very wrong
with at least dad.

And so we formed the assumption,
based on the evidence...

that it was a human-alien hybrid...

with a human mother
and an alien father.

[Narrator]
But more advanced D.N.A. testing in 2011...

revealed something even more shocking.

The D.N.A., not only of the father,
but also the mother...

did not appear to be human after all.

[ Pye ] Once we began to recover longer
stretches of the mitochondrial D.N.A...

we found out that they didn't
really fit at all.

And so now the genetic evidence indicates
that it didn't have a human mother.

It's just purely alien.

The reasons mainstream science
resists any kind of information...

that is in support of
U.F.O.'s and aliens...

is simply because
it's going to change everything...

about a certain aspect of their bailiwick,
of their purview.

[Narrator] Although Lloyd Pye passed away
in December of 2013...

his research team hopes to one day recover
the entire genome of the Starchild skull...

ultimately revealing the truth about what
they and other researchers maintain...

is an otherworldly species.

By looking deeper into this skull
and looking at the genetics...

it's very possible that if we can analyze
the full spectrum of the genome...

we might find our first proof
of extraterrestrial intervention.

One of the things we have
to seriously consider...

is the possibility that human life on Earth
did not originate on Earth...

that we might be the surviving remnant
of settlers who came here long ago.

When we find brain sizes that are twice
as big as a normal human brain...

we are left with compelling evidence...

that the extraterrestrials
that we think we're looking for...

might be a lot closer to us than we ever
would have dared to imagine before.

[Narrator] Might this extraordinary skull
have been that of an alien child...

that lived here on Earth
hundreds of years ago?

And, if so, is this an ancestor
of the star children...

that some believe are among us today?

Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining cultures...

who believe certain children are born
with a direct link to the stars.

[Narrator] Currently, there are 562 Native
American tribes in the United States.

Many of them-
like the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni-

have stories of otherworldly beings
visiting Earth.

Often referred to as star beings...

these alien visitors are said to come
down from the sky to teach mankind.

And in some cases, they are even said
to mate with human women...

resulting in the birth of star children.

[ Man ] Stories of star children
are quite common in native culture.

There can be quite a variety of forms
of that sort of thing as well.

But, typically, there's a star
and a human being that joined together...

and a child is born from that union.

They were then cared for and raised by the
Indian tribes until the age of six...

when the star beings would return
and retrieve the star children...

and leave the entire tribe
staring up into the night sky...

wondering what had happened to them
and where they'd gone.

That's quite
an interesting story in itself-

to give birth to a star child
and then have it taken from you.

There's also the story
of some star children-

had been left behind
to become interwoven into the tribe.

A lot of them, later in life, become elders
even at a very young age...

and that's because
they're believed to carry the ability...

or the knowledge to heal the Earth.

[Narrator]
According to the Hopipeople-

a tribe of more than 18, 000 living
on a reservation in northeastern Arizona-

it is the star children who will ultimately
repair what they call the koyaanisqatsi...

meaning a life of corruption and turmoil,
or life out of balance.

[ Hawkes ] The Hopi believe
the Earth is out of canter.

It's not balanced any longer.

And it's these star children
that live among the Hopi...

that advise even the elders on how
to put the Earth back into balance again.

[ Boylan ]
The star kids' job, as they grow up...

is going to be not only to inherit
the Earth, as the phrase goes...

but to reform the Earth,
to remake human society.

[Narrator]
In the Hopi legend, it is said...

that the star children will prepare
humankind for the arrival...

of what they call the blue star...

and the kachina, or star being,
who will arrive with it.

There's a lot of debate
what the blue star is.

But when the blue star comes,
it will crash to the Earth.

This dwelling place in the sky
will crash to the Earth.

And the blue star kachina will take off
his mask in the village plaza...

and that will be the end
of the fourth world.

[Narrator] Many Hopi refer to the blue star
as a house in the sky...

leading some ancient astronaut theorists
to suggest that this prophecy...

is a reference to the impending arrival
of extraterrestrial life.

Some Hopi refer to the blue star
as a house in the sky...

or a dwelling in the firmament...

that one day will descend from the stars
amidst a fiery crash.

Now, what does this mean?

To me, what is described here...

might be the eventual arrival
of extraterrestrial craft.

The day they will return will change
mankind's history forever...

because then the truth will be
revealed to the masses...

in one instant, for everyone to see.

[Narrator] But if the star
children of Hopi mythology...

really were advanced otherworldly beings...

might there be some still living
among us in the present day?

And, if so, might we find
other ancient cultures...

with similar legends of unusual children
possessing extraordinary powers?

Tibet, just northeast of the Himalayas.

This plateau
is the world's highest and largest...

spanning more than
450, 000 square miles.

Known as the Roof of the World...

it is here that the Buddhist spiritual
leader called the Dalai Lama...

began his rule
more than 600 years ago.

In 1937,
the 14th Dalai Lama was recognized.

Now living in exile in India following
the Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959...

Tenzin Gyatso is believed to be
the reincarnation of a Buddhist deity.

So all of these Dalai Lamas are then
the Bodhisattva-incarnated beings.

And then Dalai Lama is obviously
the incarnated being...

of the previous Dalai Lama.

So, in a sense,
they all are the, you know...

incarnations
of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara.

[Narrator] Upon his death,
the outgoing Dalai Lama...

will transfer his essence
into the form of a Buddha...

until the time at which his spirit
can reincarnate into its new chosen body.

A committee of high lamas, or priests...

is tasked with searching for the young boy
who will be the next leader.

The choosing of the Dalai Lama
is a long and arduous process.

The 13th Dalai Lama, before his death,
pointed towards the east.

And so, when he died, the expectation
was that the 13th would be reincarnated...

in the eastern part of Tibet.

Now, the first thing that they do...

is they go to Lhamo La-tso...

a lake that is sacred to Palden Lhamo...

a protector deity
of the Dalai Lama's line.

And the viceroy, then Reting,
went and had a vision...

and saw a house close to a monastery
with a turquoise roof in the east.

And so they began to send out
explorations of that.

[ Shimkhada ] A selection party will go and
look for the signs of the previous Dalai Lama.

And if this particular child exhibits
certain of those qualities...

he will be presented with many of the personal
belongings that the Dalai Lama had...

along with other newer objects.

And if he's a true reincarnation
of that particular Dalai Lama...

then he will identify those objects
that belong to the previous Dalai Lama.

And this is seen as a test
of the Dalai Lama...

that the Dalai Lama would have
some access...

to past memories and familiarities
of a previous incarnation.

[ Wilcock ] There is some sort
of interaction going on...

with a nonphysical intelligence.

They are essentially
downloading information...

they shouldn't seem to have
in and amongst themselves.

One explanation for this
is the possibility...

that there is a soul aspect that is
from the gods, from extraterrestrials...

that is somehow
coupling with people on Earth.

[Narrator] This idea of a reincarnated child
carrying knowledge from beyond our world...

mirrors the modern-day star child concept.

[ Pattillo ] These souls are coming
from all areas of the galaxy.

Some of them are souls that have
reincarnated here on Earth many, many times.

Other souls come from other places.

So you have to wonder
if the Dalai Lama himself...

isn't some early star child
who's here on Earth...

to help the Tibetan people, especially,
and all of mankind.

[Narrator] Could the Dalai Lama really have
a connection to otherworldly beings?

And might he, like the blue star kachina
of the Hopi stories...

be here to help shape
the future of mankind?

While most stories of star children describe
them as being here to aid humanity...

could there be some that have
a more sinister mission?

[Narrator] Abilene, Texas...

180 miles west of Dallas.

Late one night, in 1996,
journalist Brian Bethel...

was waiting in his parked car
just outside a movie theater...

when two young boys walked up
and asked for a ride home.

Bethel was nervous, initially,
at the approach of these children...

and he wasn't sure why.

He estimated their ages to be somewhere
between 10 and 14 years old.

They began to speak to him
in a very strange manner.

[ Man ] And they came up
with this unlikely story...

of needing money
to go to the local cinema.

Could he give them a ride back home?

And they seemed very malevolent,
very evil.

There was something
deeply unsettling about them.

[ Weatherly ] Finally, the children
made eye contact with Bethel...

at which point he realized
their eyes were solid black.

Not just the pupil, but the entire eye-
solid black.

This sort of pushed Bethel
over the edge.

[ Tires Screeching ]

He put the car in reverse, he pulled away
from these kids as quickly as he could.

And when he glanced back,
there was nothing there.

[Narrator] Bethel documented
his account on the Internet...

and soon others were posting similar
encounters with the so-called black-eyed kids.

[ REDFERN ] Since publicity has been
given to the phenomenon...

other people have come forward who talked
about sightings and encounters...

in the '40s and the '50s.

So we're not really sure
when it all actually began.

[Narrator] Is it possible,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest...

that these strange beings
are star children with evil intentions?

[ REDFERN ] What differentiates the
black-eyed children from the star children...

is the fact that the star children
are very often described...

as being friendly,
benevolent and positive.

The black-eyed children-devilish,
occult-driven and totally negative.

There's a contemporary urban legend
that there are black-eyed children...

that will show up at your door
and ask for a glass of water...

or beg some food or ask to use the
phone or something. - [ Doorbell Rings ]

They are demonic.
They are trouble.

They are children, so they seem innocent,
but watch for the black eyes.

That will give away the trouble to come.

[ Weatherly ]
As the years have unfolded...

more and more people have come forward
with their encounters.

It seems very clear at this point...

that there's something
much more sinister going on...

than just a simple urban legend.

Most people describe
the black-eyed children...

as being in the age range
of 10 to early teens.

They're described as having very pale skin.

Not a blemish is ever seen on the skin.

Their eyes are solid black.

Now this is the most
startling trait, obviously.

They tend to speak in a very cold manner
and repeat phrases frequently...

as if they've memorized
certain key things to say and repeat.

And they say things like, "We're hungry.
We want in," but with this dead look.

And, I mean, again black eyes.

You're looking at these
kids with black eyes.

Close the door.

They will leave.

They won't try to break in
or anything like that.

But they want in.

I think if they get in, I think maybe they're
after your soul or something like that.

[ REDFERN ] Now, of course,
if a kid comes knocking on your door...

your first thought is, well,
you want to help him.

But that's the very last thing
that crosses the mind...

of the black-eyed children witnesses.

They want to get as far away
from them as possible.

[ Weatherly ] There have been cases
where security cameras...

were present during the encounter.

Very mysteriously, the security cameras
experienced glitches in their tape.

In some ways, it makes it
all the more intriguing.

[Narrator] There are many theories
about the black-eyed children...

but some ancient astronaut theorists
believe their appearance and mannerisms...

reveal an extraterrestrial origin.

They have these jet-black solid eyes,
hence the name.

They look very, very creepy and weird.

[ NOORY] It's reported that the black-eyed
children, too, may be hybrids.

But they're a little more evil than the normal
star children that we're accustomed to.

[ Weatherly ] It's possible that, for all the light
that is coming in with these star children...

there's also a counterbalance, something
dark that is coming in at the same time.

And it may be
that these black-eyed children...

represent the negative side
of the actual star children...

that are coming into our world.

[Narrator] Could the black-eyed kids
actually be extraterrestrials...

in a limbo state between dimensions?

And might these childlike beings be part
of a much larger, otherworldly agenda?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

and point to the hungry ghosts
of Thailand as proof.

According to this legend,
the spirits of some children...

can become trapped in between
the worlds of life and death.

And every year, during the full moon...

of the seventh lunar month
of the Chinese calendar...

these spirits are free to roam the earth.

[ Weatherly ] The Hungry Ghost Festival
is designed to placate these spirits.

People believe that because of
their desires, because of their needs...

they can make contact with humans.

Often, these desires translate
into extreme desires for food.

[ MARTELL ] The hungry ghosts
that come out of Thailand...

seem to be descriptions
of what appear to be children...

and their insatiable appetite
can never be filled.

[ Weatherly ]
These hungry ghosts are to be feared.

Some people in Asia believe that the
appearance of these black-eyed children...

is a manifestation of a hungry ghost
asking you to invite it inside...

so that it can have food or water
or whatever else that it desires.

[Narrator]
Are the hungry ghosts of Thailand...

somehow connected with the black-eyed kids
seen in America today?

And if so, is this further evidence that
there really are star children among us?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe
the answer might be connected...

to the prophecies of one of the world's
most legendary psychics.

[Narrator]
Edgar Cayce has been called...

the most documented psychic
of the 20th century...

having given thousands of psychic readings
to seekers while in an unconscious state.

He was known for diagnosing illnesses...

and for revealing information
about the past and future.

In July of 1932,
Edgar Cayce predicted...

that between the years of 1998 and 2015,
a new humanity would emerge.

According to him,
this highly evolved group of humans-

referred to as the Fifth Root Race-

would be capable of great powers
that would benefit humankind.

These children, he said,
would be super-advanced humans...

with extrasensory capabilities.

They'd be psychic.

They might have the ability
of telekinesis-

the ability to move objects
with their minds.

And Cayce said that they would
actually be able to trace their lineage...

back to the ancient world.

What Edgar Cayce was getting
in his future visioning...

was a transformed society.

And that is the same kind of vision...

that the Hopi ancestors have
handed down in their oral tradition-

that there will be a transition
from the current corrupt fourth world...

to a much better, kind, just, peaceable...

environmentally sensitive,
made-over society.

[ NOORY] Edgar Cayce
was talking about star children...

manipulated genetically by E.T.'s...

planted on this planet
for some future event.

I think Cayce saw it in his trances,
and it's happening now.

[Narrator] Is it possible Edgar Cayce
foretold of the coming of star children-

advanced beings that can be traced
back throughout ancient mythology?

And if the star children do exist,
how do we identify them?

In 1982, the Chinese government
launched a nationwide search...

for children with extraordinary abilities.

Some of the talents they looked for
were psychic powers...

telekinesis and the ability
to manipulate time and space.

There was one girl who could wave her hands
over a bush that had buds of flowers on it...

and spontaneously accelerate time...

so that the flower buds popped open
right in front of everyone's eyes.

[ Young ]
Some could read while blindfolded.

Some could move objects telepathically.

We don't know what became of these children
because this was some years ago now...

but the fact that the research was done
and something was identified...

seems to bolster Cayce's prophecies.

[ BARA ]
The question then becomes...

where does this extra-human
function come from?

Is it some part of our
extraterrestrial D.N.A...

that's been activated by the process
that the Chinese put them through?

Could we actually see a new,
higher-functioning...

more advanced, superior human being
in our future?

[Narrator] In total, the Chinese
identified more than 100, 000 children...

who had what researchers refer to
as Extra Human Function, or E.H.F.

Is it possible, as some
ancient astronaut theorists suggest...

that this is evidence
that the star children phenomenon is real?

A lot of people believe that these star
children that are coming into our world...

actually vibrate at a higher level
of existence than most humans do.

It's a higher level of connectivity,
a higher level of sensitivity...

that allows them to connect
into the collective consciousness...

in a way that most of us
have forgotten how to do.

The potential of these children
is exciting...

and the possibilities are unlimited.

[Narrator] There are those
who believe that human beings...

are going through an evolutionary leap...

and that some children are being born today
with special abilities...

that future generations
will eventually all possess.

But could they also have been
sent here with a profound plan...

perhaps one of extraterrestrial design?

[ MAHOOTY ]
I believe that the star children...

they have a mission
from different parts of the universe.

But I believe that they're here
for a purpose...

and I think one of them
is to correct what is happening...

to the planet that we're on,
Mother Earth.

[ Oldham ] The timing
of all these star-seed children...

suddenly appearing with all
these new attributes and gifts...

would make sense if alien creators
had awakened these D.N.A. strands...

in order for these star-seed children to
advance us into this new era of enlightenment.

[ CHILDRESS ]
With these star children...

a new phase-
an advanced, more spiritual...

more knowledgeable type of humanity
is appearing all over Earth.

Won't this be really the end result
of extraterrestrials manipulating us...

and helping us to grow
and achieve the kind of civilization...

that the extraterrestrials
have planned for us all along?

[Narrator] Are there really alien children
numbering in the tens of thousands...

being born here on Earth, as some
ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

And if so, why are they here?

Is it to replace us?

Or is it to teach us about our potential...

and to guide us into the future-

one in which we will all become
star children?
