Original subtitles

Powerful gods wielding advanced technology.

Odin sat on a throne with which he could see everything.

Strange creatures who craft extraordinary weapons.

Dwarves were the ones that create Odin's spear and Thor's hammer.

And descriptions of gateways through time and space.

Bifrost might be a sort of folkloric way of explaining the wormhole.

The ancient Norse legends read like modern science fiction.

But could they be accounts of extraterrestrial beings who continue to

planet even now?

Contactees today describe encounters that precisely match Nordic mythology.

In northern Europe lies a land of dramatic fjords and dense forests called

Scandinavia. By most modern interpretations, Scandinavia includes

countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland.

And many centuries ago, this rugged landscape gave rise to a hardy and

mysterious people called the North.

In the early Bronze Age, there were a number of Germanic peoples that came off

into this peninsula, the Scandinavian peninsula, but they were meeting

completely different people with a different culture and a very different

language.

Eventually, these groups of people come together and they become the Norse.

For many years, the Norse were a peaceful people who scratched out an

as farmers, fishermen, and hunters.

But that changed dramatically in the 8th century A .D. with the rise of the

Vikings.

Viking is a term for Scandinavian pirates and raiders who made their mark

world history between the late 700s and the early 1000s.

One thing we have to understand is the Vikings technically is a profession. It

isn't the people that were living there. The scholars call the people that were

living there the Norse.

The Vikings were the ones that went on raiding and trading expeditions.

Sailing on their fearsome longships, the Vikings terrorized Europe. They could

strike anywhere and seemingly without warning.

The Viking longship were excellent ships for traveling in the open ocean, but

also of rivers and far inland.

Nobody was really expecting these guys.

People were unprotected. Cities were unprotected.

Monasteries with vast amounts of gold were unprotected.

And so when the raids started happening, everyone was caught by surprise.

The Vikings completely upset the balance of power throughout Europe.

But despite their reputation as fierce conquerors, the Vikings were also

merchants. And they set up trade routes that reached every corner of the map.

The Vikings were going both east and west.

into France and down into Spain and the Mediterranean from that direction.

And then east into what would become Russia and down into places like

Constantinople.

The long -term effects of the Viking Age are manifold. There are huge linguistic

influences on languages like English and French.

There is a massive political influence in Eastern Europe where, for example,

Russia draws its name from the name of a tribe of Swedish Vikings.

who invaded that part of Eastern Europe.

We have the Byzantine emperor guarded by Viking bodyguards. We have Vikings in

Baghdad trading with Arab traders.

We have Vikings in the New World exploring at least as far as present

Canada. They reached all over the world.

The age of the Vikings lasted just 300 years, from the middle of the 8th

until the 11th century.

But despite their accomplishments, much about the Norse remains shrouded in

mystery.

Unlike other cultures at the time, they did not keep detailed written records of

their history.

Instead, they wrote brief inscriptions with runes.

Runes are an early form of Viking writing.

They have been employed largely in carving and stone, so we see a lot of

stones.

But New Orleans were kind of cumbersome to write with, and so things tended to

be short.

It's not like the written literature that we get later.

Much about Norse history remained unknown until roughly 300 years after

Viking era.

We would know very, very little if it weren't for two books from 1200s Iceland

called Edda.

The first book was written by an Icelandic chief named Snorri Stidlason.

And in the 1220s or so, he wrote the Prose Edda to protect the heritage and

old stories.

Also in the 1200s in Iceland, someone, we don't know who, wrote a book that we

call the Poetic Edda.

And this is just 30 or so of those poems about the pre -Christian gods and the

pre -Christian Norse heroes written down by someone who wants to preserve them

because many of these seem to have been orally preserved for centuries.

Vietas have provided historians with detailed accounts of Viking conquests,

lineages of kings, and even religious practices.

They also introduced the world to the Norse people's rich mythological

traditions, featuring dwarves, giants, elves, and all

sorts of fantastical beasts.

But Norse mythology...

is dominated by the gods known as the Aseer, who hold domain over certain

aspects of existence.

The leader of this pantheon is a one -eyed god named Odin.

Odin is complex.

He's a god of war and death, but also of poetry and memory. He inspires both the

frenzy of battle and the frenzy of creativity.

One of the most fun gods is Loki.

Some people think of him as a trickster god and oftentimes trying to deceive

people. And deception is a very important component of warfare.

Frey was the Norse god of fertility.

And his sister Freyja, by the way, was the love goddess.

Thor is one of the main deities we see in Norse mythology.

He's got thunder, lightning.

One of his most elemental symbols that we see again and again is his hammer.

Thor's hammer seems to have been used as a protector symbol.

People would wear it around very often around their neck on a necklace for

protection.

While today, the Norse gods are regarded as simply characters in ancient

mythological tales, to the Vikings, they were very real.

The Norse gods were not apart from the world, they were a part of the world.

They were not simply praised on Sunday mornings. They were approached in

reciprocal relationships maintained through sacrificial rituals.

You give the gods something for them to give you something.

So you sacrifice an animal hoping that the god that you're sacrificing it to

will receive your gift and say, ah, I favor him. I want to give him something.

It was important for the Vikings to have contact with the gods because they

needed that power.

where they were doing things, going other places.

The Viking offered to Thor and asked for fair weather for his travels.

You don't sacrifice horses, weapons, and treasure you've won in battle unless

you believe there are deities receiving the sacrifices.

You don't raise altars to goddesses across the width of the world you travel

unless you believe in building a reciprocal relationship with those

This is clearly backed by archaeological finds of sacrificial sites, burial

sites, and so on.

The Scandinavians undoubtedly thought that the gods would have been real. They

would not have necessarily thought of them as metaphors.

While mainstream scholars suggest the Scandinavians' strong belief in the

existence of their gods was simply a matter of faith, ancient astronaut

theorists ask if these powerful beings might have truly existed.

And if so, could they have assisted the Vikings?

in becoming one of the world's most sophisticated explorers and warriors.

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining descriptions of the Norse

incredible technology.

Most of what is known about Norse mythology comes from the 13th century

called the Eddas.

But they recount a history that begins many centuries earlier.

And according to the edit, the first ruler of the area, now known as Denmark,

was the son of the god Odin, named Skjolder.

For ancient astronaut theorists, this is particularly intriguing because it

lines up with numerous other traditions around the world.

This is almost identical to what we find in ancient Egypt.

You have this golden age in which the gods walked on the earth, which the gods

ruled, and then ultimately in Egypt the pharaoh becomes the representative of

the gods themselves, just as Emperor Jimmu became the representative of

Amaterasu in Japan.

And also Huang Ti, the legendary first emperor of China, the yellow emperor,

is said to sail into the stars and back to earth. What's fascinating is that

this idea...

occurs in ancient cultures around the world.

Another similarity that Norse mythology shares with other traditions across the

planet is the idea that the gods come from another world.

In Norse mythology, the universe is divided into nine worlds.

The realm of the gods, the realm of men, the realm of the giants, the dwarves,

the elves, and so forth.

The Norse gods inhabited the realm of Asgard and came to Earth.

known as Midgard, traveling across a rainbow bridge called Bifrost.

But descriptions of Bifrost do not portray any kind of structure like a

traditional bridge.

Bifrost means shimmering road, and the edit tells us that it's the rainbow

raised by the gods to connect the heavens and the earth.

Bifrost is a burning bridge. The red that is the top layer of the rainbow's

color is supposed to be the fire.

I'm only aware of stories in which supernatural beings cross Bifrost, and

of them can't. The fire somehow burns them, but doesn't seem to burn the gods.

Bifrost is also known as the trembling or quivering wave, suggesting that it is

constantly moving.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, it's possible that the

Norse stories were attempting to describe a wormhole connecting Earth to

distant planet.

A wormhole is a shortcut across the universe.

And it's actually a structure predicted by the theory of general relativity, so

the science behind it.

The Scandinavians wrote that through Bifrost, these celestial beings

from the sky. In the ancient astronaut opinion, that almost seems like some

of a portal technology because it was instantaneous travel to the so -called

realm of the gods.

Could it be?

that the Norse gods were in fact extraterrestrials that traveled to Earth

through some kind of space -time portal.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further evidence to support this

notion can be found by examining elements from the Norse stories that

descriptions of high technology.

Norse mythology is filled with a concept that I refer to as misunderstood

technology. In Norse mythology, we have stories of Odin, the highest god, for

example, with his eight -legged horse Sleipnir. That was a celestial horse

flew across the sky, leaving behind a trail of fire.

We all know that horses do not have eight legs.

And we also know that horses do not fly across the sky leaving behind a fiery

trail. So why do we have these stories?

The pantheon of gods were advanced space travelers that our ancestors witnessed

and thought, wow, they have to be gods because they just descended from the

Odin, the god of the dead.

and the god of warfare, interacted often with humans in the Norse stories.

It is also written that from his magical throne, called Flidskalf, he could

observe all nine realms.

Flidskalf sits at the top of this great tree called Yggdrasil, and Odin can

look down on all of creation and see what's happening.

He could see everything.

He could hear everything as well. It makes you wonder if this magic

is an advanced alien technology.

Another prominent figure in Norse mythology was Frey, the god of

Frey possessed the most incredible ship in all of the nine realms.

Frey had an interesting device.

It was his ship.

And this ship was so big.

that you could put all of the Norse deities in it, and all their weapons,

then you could fold it up, sort of like origami, and Frank would put it

in his pocket.

To us, when we hear a story like this, it automatically conjures images of

advanced nanotechnology or perhaps a material science where they had an

to create a lightweight material that could be folded into smaller dimensions

and then could be unfolded into a much larger dimension.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that descriptions of the weapons wielded by

the gods also sound like advanced technology.

Odin has Gudner, the spear of heaven, that is also exemplary of what we would

think of as modern technology today.

When he would throw this spear, it would automatically hit whatever target he

threw it at.

And when we think about that today, it sounds identical to some kind of like

heat -seeking missile or some guided precision weapon that has these

capabilities.

Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, has a variety of special power.

It can be thrown and will always come back to Thor.

He can shrink it down to the size of an ordinary amulet so he can wear it around

his neck, and it can also break anything that it hits.

Curiously, Thor could only use his hammer while wearing a special metal

It's really interesting to note that all these ancient stories around the Norse,

these magical imbued objects, weapons and such, they're very similar to things

that we can reference today.

To me, it sounds like this is misunderstood technology.

Ancient people were viewing things, and they didn't have a technological lens

for reference.

Is it possible that the Norse gods were not fictional creations?

but were instead visitors from another planet.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest there may even be evidence that

these beings had a hand in the success of the Vikings.

Orkney, Scotland.

Here, in an ancient glacial valley, stands a 5 ,000 -year -old megalithic

structure known as the Dwarfy Stave.

According to the locals, the Vikings who invaded this region claimed the inner

chamber served as the home of a dwarf.

For the Norse people, the dwarves were not fictional creations, but real

entities who inhabited a hidden realm beneath the earth.

According to the Eddas, these diminutive beings were created by the gods to

craft weapons and technology.

The Old Norse term dverkr, translated by its English cognate dwarf, refers to a

kind of supernatural being much lower than the gods that interacts both with

them and with us.

Their main function in the Thagas is to make stuff, whether for the gods or for

human beings.

The dwarves are an interesting figure in Norse mythology. They're not gods, but

they're not people. And they show up as being very powerful, very magical.

And so the gods are constantly interacting with the dwarves. And a lot

power of the Norse gods is derived from the dwarves.

They're the ones that have an extraordinary ability to create things.

Dwarves were described as being the best smiths.

When the gods need to have things created, they go to the dwarves.

These were the creators of these most important elements of the Norse Viking

world.

Things like Freyr's ship and Odin's spear and Thor's hammer.

The dwarves were also credited as being master sword makers.

But the swords they forged, were not just for the gods.

They were also made for humans, and they were said to possess extraordinary

properties. The dwarves imbue their creations with magic

and make stuff for human beings.

For example, there's human heroes who have magical swords of different

varieties. The most important story of the heroes is the story of Sigurdur, the

dragon slayer.

Sigurd has a magic sword.

According to the story, a dwarf forges Sigurd a sword so sharp it can cut

through the impenetrable scale of a dragon.

Other sagas describe weapons that were powerful enough to even kill the god.

There's the magic sword Tirvingr, which can only be drawn.

and put back into its scabbard if it draws blood in the meantime.

So you can't put it back in its scabbard unless you've killed someone.

While tales of the dwarves being skilled weapons makers are considered by

historians to be purely mythological, what can't be disputed is that the

possessed swords far superior to any others that were made during their time.

Suldal, Norway, March 2024.

While clearing his field of rocks, a farmer stumbles upon a remarkably well

-preserved Viking sword half buried in the soil.

The weapon is given to archaeologists who determine it is more than a thousand

years old and discover that the blade contains a mysterious inscription.

X -ray imaging reveals that the sword is inscribed with the name Ulfberht.

The Ulfberht swords were made between about 800 and 1000 AD, so

right salad in the high Viking period, when they were trading and raiding.

The recently unearthed weapon is one of approximately 170 swords that bear the

mark Ulfberht.

But just how these blades were created?

continues to mystify researchers.

I've analyzed 40 or 50 alphabet swords, and many of them still have

a sharp edge.

The chemistry is completely different to any other weapons found in medieval

Europe. These alphabet swords were made of a very hard steel and would be vastly

superior to any other weapon in combat.

The Ulfberts were special because of the manufacturing techniques that went into

them.

Some of them were made from a crucible steel, which could have both flexible

properties and edge hardness in a single item.

Perhaps most baffling is that to create the Ulfbert swords, Norse blacksmiths

would have had to heat their forges to over 3 ,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

But historians and archaeologists suggest that humans didn't develop the

to achieve such an extreme heat until the Industrial Revolution, nearly 800

years after the Viking Age.

So just who could have created these extraordinary weapons?

Could it be that the Norse stories of dwarves forging incredible swords were

merely mythology?

When you think about this, You have to at least be open to the possibility that

the swords of the Norse Vikings were created by these dwarves who were

at this advanced technology.

When you talk with people who live in Norway and Sweden and Iceland, over 60 %

of the people in a survey have claimed that they believe in these beings.

With the Ulfberg blades, we still don't know who made them. We don't know.

exact techniques of how they were made.

Some were incredibly advanced in their techniques, quite beautiful, hard to

produce even today in a modern shop.

We don't know why the word Ulfbert was used.

It was assumed, without any evidence, that it was a swordsmith's name, but it

may have been simply the name of somebody whom the smith met or killed.

They may have thought it was something sacred.

We don't know.

What does Ulfbert mean?

It's probably not a person. It was probably a word of power.

Wolf means wolf, and Bert is an adjective, meaning bright.

So it might be bright wolf?

Until we find some documented evidence of manufacture, we may never know the

exact construction or the exact raw material that these were made from.

And that adds to the mystery of these blades.

Is it possible that the dwarves of Norse mythology were real beings and that

they helped the Vikings to craft their incredible swords?

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining another technology that the

Vikings were said to have received from the dwarves.

A highly sophisticated navigation device, that was long believed to be

mythological, until one was discovered at the bottom of the ocean.

Tonsberg, Norway, summer 1904.

Over a period of three months, Scandinavian archaeologists, Gabriel

and Hรฅkon Schedele, excavate a remarkably well -preserved Viking ship.

Built from oak in the early 9th century AD, the vessel is an extraordinary piece

of engineering.

One of the things that the Vikings had was a ship that was a technological

marvel for the time.

They could go up and down rivers.

They could go across oceans without flipping over as much as previous ships

done. And this meant that they had...

The ability to get into areas that other people at the time could not get into.

The Viking scale was really sort of unmatched by any other group at this

terms of the craftsmanship of their boats.

These boats were very flexible in the way that they were made to flex with the

waves rather than break apart.

So they often referred to them as the sea snakes, because they could sort of

snake through the waves.

The unique design of Viking longships made it possible to sail at speeds

approaching 28 miles per hour.

No other vessels could travel as fast until 1852.

More than a thousand years after, the first Viking ships took to the high

But what many researchers find even more impressive and more difficult to

explain is the Vikings' incredible navigation skills.

When talking about the Vikings, you're faced with a mystery.

And the mystery is that how did the Vikings navigate?

For all we know, they had no compass.

The compass was a Chinese invention, and without a compass, how could they

navigate?

Well, the stars, you say.

But if you've ever been there, to the northern Atlantic, you realize how

it is.

On a cloudy day, there's no sun, there's no stars.

And yet, they were able to navigate the North Seas with tremendous accuracy.

And the question is, how did they do it?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe clues might be found by taking a closer

at the Viking sagas.

According to legend, the dwarves provided humans with a special stone

enabled them to navigate with great accuracy.

In the Norse sagas, we get mention of something called the solastine, the

sunstone. And this is a kind of translucent mineral that's oblong

has special magical powers.

And it's something that the captain of a Viking warship would hold up to the

cloudy sky.

And through it, we'll be able to see where the sun was.

And that was essential to navigation.

These crystals were considered to be magic.

And it's been long rumored that the sunstone may have been a major part of

navigational abilities, giving them an edge that other people at the time did

not have.

Was the Viking sunstone simply a creation of Norse mythology?

Or might it have really existed?

The English Channel, March 2013.

Underwater archaeologists are exploring a 16th century sunken English warship

when they come upon an unusual crystal carved into a nearly perfect rectangle.

Researchers are shocked when tests reveal that the object was carved from a

chunk of Icelandic calcite.

And they suspect they have found one of the fabled...

Viking sunstone.

Calcite has a property that if light comes into it, it splits the light in

On a cloudy day, if you look at a calcite crystal, you see not one image,

two images.

Each one polarized slightly differently.

And as you scan the sky, the intensity of these two changes, depending upon

where the sun is located.

But when you walk onto the sun, The two images are equally bright.

Bingo. That's where the sun is located.

And that's how the Vikings could do it without a compass. They simply pointed

toward the sun until the two images matched in intensity.

For archaeologists, almost as exciting as the discovery of a Viking sunstone

the fact that it was found on a 16th century ship.

What that shows us is that 500 years after the disappearance of the Vikings,

their technology was still being used. This was still cutting -edge technology.

Might the sunstone provide physical evidence that the tales of Norse

are not entirely fiction, but could be based on real events?

And if so, might otherworldly beings, like the dwarfs and gods described in

Viking sagas, have shared knowledge with the ancient people of Scandinavia?

For ancient astronaut theorists, the answer is a resounding yes.

Throughout Norse mythology, they really have an abundance of these magical

imbued objects.

But if the Norse people had the ability to use a crystal that is some type of

astronomical beacon to actually know where the sun was, this is some advanced

science. And perhaps someone will cost the Norse people to understand the

principles of using such a technology.

From the technological marvel known as the sunstone to the highly advanced

Viking swords and mythology that reads like modern science fiction.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest there is abundant evidence that the

people had encounters with otherworldly beings.

But perhaps the most intriguing evidence of all can be found by closely

examining the ritual of the Viking funeral.

Dinah Beach, Australia, July 12, 2025.

At a modern -day yacht club more than 7 ,000 miles from Scandinavia, a ceremony

is held to recreate one of the most important and iconic Norse rituals, the

Viking funeral.

In the days of the Vikings, the body of the deceased would be floated out to sea

aboard a ship.

Then a flaming arrow launched to set it ablaze.

There's a whole symbology behind those rituals.

And this is interesting because the whole idea of burning the dead is the

rises so that their essence could reach the realm of the gods.

That is the legend behind it. But you have to ask yourself the question,

the origin for that?

What was the realm of the gods? Was it just a spiritual place, something

ethereal?

The ancient astronaut theory suggests, hold on a minute, maybe they actually

meant a physical place.

The Viking funeral was symbolic of a journey to Asgard, the realm of the

But according to the Old Norse stories, the actual journey happened on the

battlefield. And it was carried out by the Valkyries, who are described as

mortal women with divine powers.

In Norse mythology, you have Valkyries, who are warrior princesses who ride

winged horses.

And they fly over the battlefield and they pick up the bravest of the

particularly as they're just about to die or if they have died. And they carry

their spirit up to Valhalla, which is the palace for fallen warriors and the

feasting hall.

The Vikings didn't fear death because when they died they went to Valhalla and

there Odin would provide them with a banquet every night. They could eat and

drink as much as they want.

In the Norse tales, Valhalla is portrayed as a great hall in Asgard

the ruler of the gods, welcomes fallen warriors.

The hall is described as a physical place made of gleaming metal.

held up by spear shafts and roofed by shields.

And as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, it's possible

Valhalla was not some mythical paradise, but something far more profound.

According to the ancient astronaut theory, Valhalla could be another name

for maybe an orbiting space station or something like that.

The reason why I'm saying this is because whenever we have a description

Valhalla, it is an incredible description of a place that has

attributes that I refer to as misunderstood technology.

Various descriptions of Valhalla give it the reference of being some type of a

large metallic ship.

Add to the fact that Valhalla is described as a place that they actually

journeyed to, maybe this is some type of a description of them traveling to this

in a ship, and since they put their dead in ships and set them afire, maybe this

is actually a reference of them traveling to Valhalla in a ship that has

coming out of it, going into space.

Could it be that the Old Norse tales of Valhalla were describing some kind of

craft or space station that was orbiting the Earth.

And might the Viking funeral ceremony have been designed to mimic the fire and

smoke produced by a rocket ship blasting off into space?

Curiously, the Norse were not the only ancient culture to incorporate ships

their funerary rites.

In Norse mythology, you have this concept of taking some kind of transport

the other world.

This is something that has been around for thousands of years and appears

the world.

It's in Africa.

It's in South America.

It's in China.

With Egyptian funeral rites, oftentimes there would be a funeral boat was

associated with it.

And these boats themselves would be analogies of the spaceships, in fact,

would take them over the sky.

The fact that around the world you find the exact same references in ancient

myths and legends, to me, is not a coincidence. But on the contrary, it

that true origin was a worldwide visitation by visiting

Is it possible?

that modern reenactments of the Viking funeral unknowingly commemorate

otherworldly contact in the distant past.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a

yes.

And they suggest there is evidence that Scandinavia may be experiencing alien

activity even today.

Northern Norway, December 9th, 2009.

Just before dawn, an incredible spiral of light appears in the night sky.

It swirls in place for ten minutes and is witnessed hundreds of miles away in

Sweden.

The Norwegian spiral anomaly captured the imagination of the world. Theories

included that it was something to do with the northern light.

that it was the malfunctioning of a Russian ballistic missile.

Other people had more exotic theories.

It looked just awe -inspiring. It really, truly did.

So naturally, there was a lot of questioning, wondering, like, what is

a UFO -related thing, or is it not?

Some people said, this is the opening of a wormhole.

Something's come through.

The Norwegian spiral anomaly made headlines around the world.

And it was only the latest in a number of extraordinary mass UFO sightings that

have occurred over the area of Scandinavia.

Since the 1930s, residents of the small mountain village of Heistel in Norway

have been reporting strange lights of various colors that appear at night, and

sometimes even during the day.

People see bright lights moving very near to the houses.

Balls of lights, even shaped sometimes.

And these lights can last for minutes or even hours.

The reports continued for decades.

And in 1983, Norwegian electrical engineer... Erling Strand started a

project to investigate the phenomenon.

In the early 80s, it was a lot of sightings.

We had 20 observations in one week.

The Heston lights can be more traditional UFO sightings, where they

a disc -shaped object, cigar -shaped object.

and so on it's very easy to think that these come from other words

in addition to the hasteland light in 1946 thousands

of people in sweden norway and denmark witnessed what were referred to as the

ghost rockets which are some of the earliest ufo sightings on record many

saw bright lights in the sky which many people today mentioned as the UFO,

more than 2 ,000 reported in Scandinavia.

For ancient astronaut theorists, these sensational UFO events beg the question,

is it possible that alien entities witnessed by the Vikings are still

this region today?

Scandinavia is undoubtedly a UFO hotspot, and we have interesting

north.

And, of course, there are many, many people who say that mythology is just

way that our ancestors described real things that happened to them, but just

made them into these stages as a way of keeping the story alive and telling it

to successive generations.

You have to wonder if the Norwegian spiral anomaly has to do with these

gods.

and coming and going out of this place for many thousands of years.

And it could be that these Norse gods as extraterrestrials are still here.

Could it be that otherworldly visitors encountered by the Norse people

ago are behind the many strange sightings reported over Scandinavia

And do the ancient tales of these gods still resonate because they are part of

humankind's true history.
