All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens s21e10 The Volcano Factor.enng

NARRATOR:
Around the world,

volcanoes have long been known

to be UFO hot spots.

We're seeing UFOs
at volcanoes all over the world,

in South America, in Mexico,
North America and in Iceland.

NARRATOR: The ancient people
believed volcanoes were home to the gods.

Mount Merapi is the realm
of otherworldly beings.

NARRATOR: And some
volcanoes have even been described

as portals to other worlds.

The Muisca people
literally believe

that a volcano is a stargate.

NARRATOR: Do these powerful
forces of nature have a connection

to extraterrestrials?

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
Volcanoes were first-contact places

where our ancestors
made physical contact

with whomever
descended from the sky.

♪ ♪

NARRATOR: Residents
of this thriving metropolis

live in the shadow of a smoking
volcano called Popocatépetl.

Known as El Popo by the locals,
it has been erupting since 1994.

Webcams installed
around the mountain

live stream images of its peak

so scientists can
monitor volcanic activity.

But early in the evening
of June 19, 2016,

the cameras capture something
completely unexpected.

These webcams run
24/7. They never stop.

But the volcano itself
is obscured by clouds.

But you can see the
ash and the smoke

billowing out from a distance.

Suddenly, a dozen
glowing orbs appear

and fly straight
towards the volcano.

And everyone was
wondering, "What was that?"

NARRATOR: Days later,
another webcam captures

more mysterious lights
flying around the volcano.

But perhaps the strangest
event was captured

on January 24, 2017.

CHILDRESS: In the video,
you will see a small light emerge

from the top of El Popo.

It almost looks like a
tiny craft of some kind.

And moments later,
suddenly, there's a flash,

and then the small light
transforms into a glowing orb

and then shoots straight
up into the atmosphere.

It's one of the most
remarkable videos of an orb

that I've ever seen.

NARRATOR: Curiously, El
Popo is not the only volcano

where strange, glowing
orbs have been seen.

Similar objects
have been recorded

at numerous other
volcanoes around the world.

And many scientists who
work on volcanoes claim

to have seen these strange
lights with their own eyes.

I certainly have seen things

when I've been working
on Volcán de Colima,

which is another very
dangerous volcano in Mexico,

that I've not been
able to explain.

I've seen lights, basically,
above the volcano.

There's one time
when I was seeing

a hell of a lot of
lightning at Colima,

but I also saw two
stationary lights

above the crater.

Uh, they were there for a while.

They weren't stars, uh, and
then, suddenly, they vanished.

I don't know what caused them,

but there's obviously
a phenomenon there.

NARRATOR: Some
residents of Mexico City believe

the mysterious lights
around El Popo are

related to an otherworldly
being known as Gregorio.

It is said that
Gregorio often appears

in local towns before
vanishing without a trace.

ED BARNHART: Gregorio
is the spirit of the volcano,

but he's oftentimes
seen as an old man

walking in robes
around the base.

And when people see
him, they revere him.

NARRATOR: Might the mysterious
lights seen around El Popo

and other volcanoes have
an otherworldly connection?

To ufologists, it's
a distinct possibility,

and they point to
the first UFO sighting

that made national headlines.

June 24, 1947.

Private pilot Kenneth Arnold is

on a solo flight near
this active volcano

when he suddenly spots
something strange in the sky.

CHILDRESS: Kenneth
Arnold saw what he described

as nine craft flying together

like a military formation,

flying at a very fast speed.

NARRATOR: According
to Arnold's report,

the strange craft sped past
him at 1,200 miles per hour,

and then did something
truly remarkable.

Kenneth Arnold witnessed
these mysterious craft

dart in between Mount
Rainier and Mount Adams,

and then even witnessed
them fly into Mount Adams.

So, is it possible
that these UFOs

actually entered the volcano?

CHILDRESS: There have
been so many reports of UFOs.

Going inside volcanoes
all over the world.

When we look at
this UFO activity,

that you have to wonder,

are volcanoes some
kind of UFO base?

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that otherworldly beings

are attracted to volcanoes?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

recent reports of flying craft

and mysterious beings
around volcanoes

are simply the latest
in a phenomenon

that dates back
thousands of years.

In the mythologies of
many ancient cultures,

volcanoes were closely
connected to the gods.

You have Vulcan, of course,
in the Roman pantheon,

who was the... the
god of smithcraft,

who they said his
forge was in Mount Etna.

PAMELA JAYE SMITH: Vulcan
was the armorer of the gods,

made the swords,
made the shields,

made the helmets,

and was the god

of a lot of other crafts.

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest that while

some mythological stories
about volcanoes are clearly

imaginative ways to portray
a powerful force of nature,

others, like the Roman
accounts of the god Vulcan,

read like historical events.

TSOUKALOS: The
Romans themselves say

that they adopted the
legends from the Greeks,

who stated the earliest
metalsmith workers descended

from the sky and taught
them how to make swords

and, essentially,
how to work metal.

It is my opinion that both

Greek and the Roman
pantheon of gods were

misinterpreted space travelers

who descended from
the sky a long time ago.

NARRATOR: Another legend that
ancient astronaut theorists associate

with an extraterrestrial
event can be found in Japan.

According to ancient
Japanese folklore,

a mysterious child
was discovered

at the base of Mount
Fuji, an active volcano.

We have a very fascinating story

around Mount Fuji,
where, long ago,

Princess Kaguya was found,

at first, inside a
glowing bamboo stalk.

DOMINIC STEAVU: The story
goes that a bamboo cutter found

a tiny little shining child.

Intrigued, he took
the child home

and took care of it,

and within a space
of three months, only,

she had grown into a
beautiful young woman.

And her beauty was such
that she attracted many suitors.

But she rebuffed
all of their advances

until the emperor
fell in love with her.

They developed a
close relationship,

but eventually she had to reveal
that she was not of this world.

And she told him, in fact,
that she came from the Moon.

TSOUKALOS: She
was not of this Earth.

So then the story
goes that a fleet

of celestial beings
descended from the sky,

put a cloak of feathers on her,

and together they
ascended into the heavens.

Well, I mean, who were they
and where did they come from?

This is, in my opinion,

one of those legends
that perfectly fits

into the ancient
astronaut theory,

because it involves
misunderstood technology,

and you have stories

of people descending
from the sky

and rescuing one of their own.

To me, it's all about
the celestial visitor.

NARRATOR: Could ancient
stories like those of Princess Kaguya

and the Roman god Vulcan,
along with modern UFO sightings,

reveal that extraterrestrials
are drawn to volcanoes?

And if so, why?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

by examining
mysterious artifacts

discovered deep in
the jungles of Colombia.

An Airbus A320 is
cruising at 30,000 feet

on a routine flight
en route to Bogotá.

As it approaches a
prominent volcano called

Nevado del Tolima,

the pilot notices something
strange in the clouds.

The plane is on autopilot.

When the pilot sees what's
out his cockpit window,

he picks up his phone,

and what he filmed
was extraordinary.

It's an object zipping
along towards his plane.

So the pilot is able to use
the close-up on his camera

and sees that the object
is actually a flying cube

that is coming towards
him and flying right past him.

NARRATOR: Two
years later, in May 2022,

a private pilot, also flying
near the same Tolima volcano,

captures footage of a
metallic diamond-shaped object

speeding past his aircraft.

And the next year,

a passenger on board a
flight from Bogotá to Salento

films a metallic, orb-like
object in the same location.

Three incredible UFO
videos in just four years,

all shot near Nevado del Tolima.

These are three
extraordinary videos of UFOs.

In fact, one has been called
the best UFO video of all time.

All three were taken
in broad daylight.

All three show what
could only be described

as a metallic craft.

And all three were filmed
near the Tolima volcano.

You have to ask yourself,
what is going on here?

NARRATOR: Could these
three remarkable sightings

around the Tolima volcano be

evidence of
extraterrestrial activity?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest clues may be found

by examining the
volcano's mysterious history.

SMITH: The Tolima
people of Colombia hold

their volcanic mountain
of the same name

in great reverence

because, in their
telling, it is the place

where the life of Earth meets

the sky deities, the
life of the above land.

TSOUKALOS: The legends tell us

that this was a place

where humankind
could meet and mingle

with the so-called gods.

And what's interesting to me is

that very curious ancient
artifacts were found

at Tolima.

NARRATOR: In
the late 19th century,

tomb robbers exploring the
base of Nevado del Tolima

stumbled upon a gravesite
that dated back 1,500 years.

Among the funerary objects
found there were hundreds

of small two-to-three-inch-long
gold figurines.

TSOUKALOS: According
to archaeologists,

in the ancient
culture of the Tolima,

they specialized in creating
thousands of little gold objects

that they would put

in the tombs of the deceased,

essentially to
pay off the journey

from the land of the living
to the land of the dead.

They were all in the
shape of fish, birds,

frogs, anything you can imagine.

But 17 look like
modern-day planes.

We can clearly see that
the wings are attached

at the bottom of the fuselage,

and in the back of the fuselage
you actually have stabilizers.

This is not anything
that exists in nature.

NARRATOR: Could it be that
the ancient gold artifacts found

at the base of Nevado del Tolima

are really depictions
of flying vehicles?

CHILDRESS: The idea that
people could actually envision

modern airplanes at that time,

just as a-a speculation, seems
pretty, uh, fantastic, really.

And you would think
that they are really

making these gold airplanes

after something they
had genuinely seen.

TSOUKALOS: The ancient
astronaut theory suggests

the reason why they were
commemorating these things is

because they
witnessed craft flying in

and flying out of
these volcanoes.

And you have to wonder if
maybe our ancestors were

seeing the same things
we're seeing today.

NARRATOR: Is it possible

that the so-called gold
flyers are depictions

of extraterrestrial aircraft?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

and suggest further
evidence of a connection

between volcanoes
and otherworldly beings

can be found 250
miles south of Tolima

at the mysterious
archaeological site of San Agustín.

These ruins, located between
two massive volcanoes, are home

to over 500 enormous
stone statues

that have been carved
from volcanic rock

and are believed to date back

at least 1,500 years.

ROBERT SCHOCH: The people
who carved these sculptures

and lived there,

we really do not know
very much about them...

because the whole
area seems to have been

abandoned by 1350 or so AD.

NARRATOR: While no one
knows for certain who created

the strange statues
at San Agustín

or what they were
meant to depict,

many researchers believe

they were inspired
by the stories

of the Indigenous people.

Colombia has many
ancient legends of gods

who appeared as hybrids

with part human and
part animal features.

Some are depicted as
having vampire-like fangs.

And often these
gods can shape-shift

into different forms.

CAROLINE WHITEHILL:
In the case of Colombia,

wherever we see
volcanic systems,

the Native cultures
associate them with the gods.

One of the very curious things

about the carvings,
about the sculptures...

is that they depict figures
that resemble animals,

but they're very
obviously humanoid forms,

which is very much

like depictions of god
beings in Colombia.

NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists suggest that,

considering the high number
of UFO sightings in Colombia

and the curious artifacts

that resemble
modern-day aircraft,

these godlike beings were
likely extraterrestrial visitors.

TSOUKALOS: In the
ancient astronaut opinion,

the reason why that place
was created there is because

that was one of the
so-called first contact places

where our ancestors
made physical contact

with whomever
descended from the sky.

NARRATOR: Could the
bizarre statues at San Agustín

and the reports of UFO activity
near Nevado del Tolima be

further evidence that
there is a long history

of extraterrestrial
activity around volcanoes?

And if so, what
could be the reason?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

by examining yet
another peak in Colombia

that is said to contain

a gateway to the
realm of the gods.

NARRATOR: Tabio, Colombia.

This small town is the home

of one of the country's
most sacred peaks,

called La Peña de Juaica.

The mountain stands
over 10,000 feet tall,

and while it is not a volcano,

it is located

right between two hot
spots of volcanic activity.

The Paipa-Iza volcanic
complex to the east

and three major
volcanoes to the west.

Peña de Juaica is not a volcano.

It's a very high peak.

But it is located in
an area of Colombia

that is highly concentrated
with volcanoes.

And the Muisca people,
the Indigenous tribe there,

have a very sophisticated
cosmology concerning this peak.

They literally believe
that it is a dwelling place

of the divine beings.

They even refer to this peak
as the gateway to the gods.

For centuries, people
have been reporting

seeing mysterious lights
and even humanoid figures

coming and going
from the summit.

NARRATOR: Among the many
mysterious sightings reported

at La Peña de Juaica is

a phenomenon known
as the dancing lights.

What happens is a strange
orb will appear at night

near Peña de Juaica,

and it will sometimes
dance around.

And other times there'll
be a couple of orbs.

According to the Muisca,

they've been seeing
these dancing lights

for hundreds of years.

BIRNES: What's interesting
is that the Muisca people say

that these dancing lights
occur when the gods

are traveling between
the Earth and the sky.

NARRATOR: In February 2022,

researcher and ufologist
Dan Zetterström traveled

to Colombia to investigate
the mysterious spectacle.

We set up cameras
to watch the mountain

to see if we could
capture this phenomena.

Turns out we did.

What you're seeing here are

the dancing lights
of La Peña de Juaica.

Light is splitting into multiple
orbs and forms a triangle.

And red and blue
flashes either side,

which are known as redshift.

It's what astronomers see
when light passes by something

with a huge gravitational pull.

This is light on a mountain.

It shouldn't have a
huge gravitational pull.

As far as we could conclude,

there was no explanation
for these things.

NARRATOR: Could it be that the
footage Dan Zetterström recorded

over La Peña de Juaica
not only captured UFOs

but also reveals a
gravitational anomaly?

If so, what could be causing it?

HENRY: What's
fascinating about this is

the Muisca people
literally believe

that Peña de Juaica is
a gateway to the gods.

It seems that what
they're actually

talking about is a stargate.

NARRATOR: A stargate?

Could this location

that the local Muisca people
call "gateway of the gods"

contain a real portal
through space and time?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

and suggest further support
for this notion can be found

on the opposite
side of the world.

The island of Java, Indonesia.

On the southern coast
lies the city of Yogyakarta.

This sprawling metropolis of
more than four million people

extends up the slopes
of Mount Merapi,

one of the world's
most active volcanoes.

Mount Merapi has erupted
regularly since 1548,

often causing
explosive lava flows

and killing hundreds of people.

But while the volcano
has completely

destroyed communities
that have existed

at its base again and again,

the site is considered so
sacred to the Buddhist people

that they continue to rebuild
in this highly volatile area.

STEAVU: Mount Merapi

has a deep, uh, mystical
and religious meaning

to the people of-of Java.

It is believed that
under the mountain is

a very vast sacred kingdom

and an imperial city from which

the entire spiritual realm
of Java was governed.

NARRATOR: According to legend,

Mount Merapi is home to
powerful otherworldly beings.

The volcano served as
a kind of portal or a gate

between the human realm
and the realm of the divine.

Two legendary blacksmiths
created sacred weapons

at the site.

And those two blacksmiths
became the rulers

of a vast city
under the mountain.

NARRATOR: The Javanese
legends are believed to date back

more than 2,000 years.

But what could have inspired
the idea that Mount Merapi

is hiding a portal or a
vast underground city?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

clues can be found just 15
miles south of the volcano

at the temple of Borobudur.

Borobudur is
exquisitely designed.

It has a series of
galleries built concentrically

around a central stupa.

Each of the concentric rings
represent a different realm

of existence in the
Buddhist cosmos.

And just in the
central stupa area,

there are over 70
Buddhist statues

housed in smaller stupas.

Stupa actually means
"celestial chariot,"

a way with which to
reach the celestial realm.

So, were these so-called
gods really extraterrestrials

who had some kind of
base at Mount Merapi?

I think that our
ancestors witnessed

flying craft at this location

and they
immortalized it in stone

because stone lasts forever.

HENRY: If this peak
is literally a portal

or a gateway that
the gods are using

to come and go from,

that fulfills the
definition of a stargate,

a portal or gateway that leads

to other places on
Earth or perhaps

even other
locations in the stars.

NARRATOR: Could it be
that the Temple of Borobudur

memorializes
extraterrestrial visitors

who are accessing
a hidden alien base

or perhaps even a stargate
within Mount Merapi?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

by examining modern encounters

in North America.

NARRATOR: In Northern
California stands Mount Shasta,

an active volcano that
towers above the landscape

at an elevation of
more than 14,000 feet.

This majestic
peak attracts hikers,

skiers, and
spiritual gatherings.

But it's also a destination
for people hoping to see

mysterious lights,
strange orbs, and UFOs.

BIRNES: Mount Shasta

is unquestionably
a UFO hot spot.

People are seeing UFOs flying

in and out of the
mountain at all times.

SWARTZ: The UFO
activity that's been

reported around Mount Shasta

consists of solid,

metallic-looking
craft in the daytime,

sometimes referred
to as flying saucers

or metallic balls.

At night, you see
what are called orbs

that display all kinds
of different colors.

CHILDRESS: So, for decades,
people have been traveling

and exploring and
climbing Mount Shasta

because they think
that it attracts UFOs.

NARRATOR: In addition
to the modern UFO activity,

Native American tribes in
the area of Mount Shasta say

that stories of
strange phenomena

occurring around the
volcano have been told

by their ancestors
going back centuries.

For hundreds of years,

the Native population

have described UFO sightings,

strange lights that either
shoot out of Mount Shasta

or they go straight in.

And these cultures did
speak of physical beings

descending from the stars
and imparting knowledge.

SWARTZ: The Klamath people,

when they first came to
the area of Mount Shasta,

they said that they
weren't the first ones there,

that there was another
race of people living there

who welcomed them with open arms

and actually taught
them agriculture,

astronomy, things like that.

And after a certain time,
these mystical people decided

that it was time
for them to leave.

But they promised that
someday that they would return

in great sky crafts, as
they referred to them.

And the Klamath people have felt

that modern UFO
sightings is this promise

that they have finally returned.

NARRATOR: Similar
stories are shared

by other local Native
American tribes,

such as the Shasta,
Modoc and Karuk.

JACK "WALKING EAGLE"
THOM: Down where I come from,

we have a place
called Doctor Rock,

and that's where a
lot of the Indians go

and-and do their
ten-day fasting and pray.

And there was an elder there

that told me about
the petroglyphs there,

and told me about the Star
Nation people coming down.

That we have been
visited by other planets,

other nations
and stuff like that.

TSOUKALOS: What
we have here is called

living mythology.

We know that First
Nations people have

retained their oral
traditions perfectly to a T.

The original stories of
somebody descending from the sky

and imparting knowledge
was not invented,

it was not fantasy.

It happened in reality

by flesh and blood
extraterrestrials

whom our ancestors

misinterpreted as gods.

NARRATOR: Do the oral traditions

of the local Native
American peoples reveal

that their ancestors encountered

extraterrestrial beings
at Mount Shasta.

Perhaps further clues can be
found by examining accounts

that an entire
civilization is hidden

within the volcano.

Mount Shasta itself has a
tremendous amount of lore,

of tunnels and secret rooms

and even some kind of ET base.

A number of books have
been written on this theme.

NARRATOR: In 1894,

a man named Frederick
Spencer Oliver proposed

that Mount Shasta was home
to a mysterious civilization

in his book A Dweller
on Two Planets.

SWARTZ: Spencer Oliver wrote

that Mount Shasta was
the home of an ancient race,

of a remnant civilization
known today as Lemuria.

Lemuria was a continent
that supposedly existed

in the Pacific Ocean

and at some time in the
past had disappeared.

Those people who
survived this disaster

immigrated to California

and created a city
within Mount Shasta.

Now, this ancient civilization,

the Lemurians, are supposedly

high technology
with flying machines

akin to the UFOs
that we see today.

CHILDRESS: Is there a
connection between what Oliver wrote

and UFO sightings at
Mount Shasta today?

Is it possible that there's a
UFO base in Mount Shasta

and it's been there for hundreds
if not thousands of years?

NARRATOR: Could the presence

of an alien base
within Mount Shasta

be an explanation
for the strange lights

that have been seen at this
volcano for thousands of years?

And if so, might
similar bases be located

in volcanoes around the world?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

and suggest another reason

that extraterrestrials
might be attracted

to these highly
volatile locations

is because, while they
are agents of destruction,

they also produce
massive amounts of energy.

NARRATOR: A series
of volcanic eruptions

on the south side of the island
launch a plume of ash and debris

26,000 feet into the atmosphere.

In a matter of hours,
the cloud blankets

Western Europe and
brings air traffic to a halt.

The eruptions
spark a media frenzy,

and the event is thoroughly
documented by news outlets.

The eruption wreaked
havoc in Europe,

but there was a lot of video
taken around this volcano.

And what's interesting,
really interesting,

is that cameras captured

a strange, anomalous object
flying above the volcano.

The footage clearly shows

a V-shaped UFO flying
slowly through the volcanic ash.

It lingers there for
several seconds,

almost like it's collecting
something from the cloud.

So you have to wonder,
why would it be there?

Why is it doing this?

Was it perhaps an
extraterrestrial craft?

NARRATOR: Is it
merely a coincidence

that a UFO was sighted
over a volcano in Iceland

during a massive eruption?

Or does this sighting serve

as further evidence
that there may be

otherworldly visitors on Earth

who seek out volcanoes?

But if so, what could
be the purpose?

HENRY: Why would ETs or
UFOs be so interested in volcanoes?

One answer has to be

the tremendous
power that is generated

by the volcanic activity.

SCHOCH: The Earth is constantly

releasing energy
from its interior.

We have radioactivity

in the deep Earth,
and this radioactivity

gives off energy, and
so this energy escapes

from the surface of the
Earth in places like volcanoes.

NARRATOR: Could it be
that UFOs are somehow

drawing power from volcanoes?

While it may sound
like science fiction,

since the 1970s,

the people of
Iceland have tapped

into the geothermal
energy of volcanoes.

VARLEY: Geothermal
energy is when we're actually

using the heat that is
associated with the volcano.

We can harness that energy

and convert it to
energy that we can use.

The Icelanders have
been very successful

at using geothermal energy.

That involves
drilling into areas

where you have hot
water and steam...

to drive up
turbines and engines.

That is a very
clean form of energy.

TSOUKALOS: In Iceland,
25% of their energy

comes from geothermal
sources, meaning volcanoes.

Imagine if the rest of the
world can figure this out as well.

Volcanoes, if
harnessed the right way,

could translate into an
infinite energy resource.

Is it possible that UFOs are
so often seen above volcanoes

because they are using
them as a type of energy?

According to
theoretical physicists,

it is likely that a
more advanced

extraterrestrial civilization
would know how to harness

the natural energy of planets

like that produced by volcanoes.

And there is even
a ranking system

for theoretical ET civilizations
called the Kardashev scale.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: The Kardashev
scale was named after Kardashev,

the scientist who came
up with it back in the '60s.

It was an idea of
a way to categorize

any civilization based
on the amount of energy

that they consume
and can manipulate.

MICHIO KAKU: A Type
I civilization is planetary.

They mine the ocean,

they control the weather,

they control volcanoes.

Anything planetary,
they control.

A Type II
civilization is stellar.

They mine the sun.

For example, they could
create a sphere around the sun

that would absorb all the
energy emitted from the sun.

Then there's Type
III, which is galactic.

They roam the
galactic space lanes.

They mine the energy
of entire star systems.

TAYLOR: We have
volcanoes all around the planet

that we have no idea
how to manipulate.

A Kardashev level one
culture... just a level one...

would know how to use that

and turn that into
energy that could power

everything that culture
and civilization needs.

TSOUKALOS: What ancient
astronaut theorists are suggesting is

that extraterrestrials
who are traveling to Earth

have already become at
least a Type I civilization,

and that's why they're
attracted to our volcanoes.

We have to consider
the possibility

that they have mastered
how to harness volcanic energy

in a way that we
can't even imagine yet.

NARRATOR: Could tapping
into the power of volcanoes

unlock an unlimited
supply of energy?

One that will enable humanity

to not only travel
to other planets

but other stars?

It's an intriguing thought.

However, some scientists believe
there might be another reason

why extraterrestrials would
be attracted to volcanoes.

One that involves
rare elements hidden

beneath the earth.

NARRATOR: Mysterious
flying objects seen

disappearing into
volcanoes around the world.

Strange glowing orbs
that suddenly appear

over volcanic vents.

And V-shaped craft observed
in the sky during eruptions.

Could these UFOs be
extraterrestrial visitors

drawing energy from volcanoes?

According to some scientists,

there may be
another possibility.

Why would an advanced
civilization from outer space

use volcanoes as
one of their bases?

I personally think that
they would not come

to the Earth just to harness

the power of heat
from volcanoes.

I think they'd do it
for another reason,

and that is rare earth elements.

We, too, need
rare earth elements

for our supercomputers,

for high-tech instruments,

for the space program.

And I think that's the reason
why they would be attracted,

because volcanoes connect
you to the center of the Earth.

A lot of these rare
earth elements

are not found in abundance
on the surface of the Earth.

They're found underground.
And that's what volcanoes do.

They allow you to extract
these rare earth elements.

So I think that's the reason why

they would be
attracted to volcanoes.

TAYLOR: Volcanoes
would be an ideal forge

for creating new materials.

It's already at the level
of molten everything.

If you had the ability

to manipulate the
molten processes

with other materials to steer
it in a direction you want,

you might create

new metamaterials
and new material science

in that type of environment.

NARRATOR: Could it be
that otherworldly visitors

are mining volcanoes
for valuable resources?

Or are they an energy
source for alien spacecraft?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

while further
investigations are required,

one thing is certain.

Evidence of a connection
between volcanoes

and extraterrestrials
is undeniable.

CHILDRESS: Wherever
we have volcanoes,

there seem to be
stories of these volcanoes

being connected to the gods.

And today, in modern times,

we're seeing a lot of
UFO or UAP activity

around volcanoes
all over the world.

In South America,

in North America,
like Mount Shasta.

In Iceland.

We've only just
touched the surface

of these UFOs and volcanoes.

I mean, this demands
more investigation.

HENRY: When you
look at the large number

of sightings of
UFOs at volcanoes,

it's very clear that
extraterrestrials have

an advanced way of
harvesting this energy

as a true power source.

While we might not be able

to perceive it or to
fully understand it,

an advanced civilization

likely would be able to.

Whether for space travel,
whether for opening up a portal.

I mean, what kind of science
are we talking about, exactly?

TSOUKALOS: When
it comes to volcanoes,

there is so much that
is still a mystery to us.

And maybe, as we start

to understand more about them

and how to harness their energy,

we'll get closer to becoming

alien explorers ourselves.

NARRATOR: Since the
dawn of recorded history,

there have been legends

connecting volcanoes
with otherworldly beings.

Are recent videos of
UFOs around volcanoes

evidence that these stories

are not just the product
of our ancestors' imaginations?

And if so, might volcanoes also
provide a way to connect us

to other parts of the universe?

Perhaps when we learn
to harness the power

of volcanoes ourselves,
we will finally be able

to leave Earth

and take our place

among the stars.
