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.
Perhaps one day soon, characters like Thor and Odin, long relegated to the
of mythology, will introduce themselves to humanity once again as our alien
ancestors.
