Narrator: Ballistic missiles --

The first ever seen on this planet.

[ explosion ]

Stealth technology, developed half a century

Before B-2 bombers.

Flying saucers and UFO foo fighters.

Did the nazis have an extraterrestrial edge

In the second world war?

They were doing things that no conventional aircraft could do.

[ plane rumbling ]

The allied command really didn't know

What they were dealing with.

[ explosion ]

These weapons nearly changed the course of human history.

Narrator: Some believe that UFO technology

Is what sparked Hitler's quest

to conquer the world, along with an alien connection

that fueled never-before-seen weaponry.

But what happened to this knowledge once the war was over?

Man: We are still go with Apollo 11.

30 seconds...

Narrator: July 16th, 1969, 9:32 a.M.,

Cape Canaveral, Florida...

[ rumbling ]

Narrator: A Saturn v rocket lifts off from NASA's kennedy space center.

Apollo 11 -- the first lunar-landing mission.

[ rumbling ]

Four days later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reach the moon.

Armstrong: Houston, tranquility base here.

The eagle has landed.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Narrator: But little do most people know the technology

behind this defining moment in history

Was developed by a nazi rocket scientist

captured at the end of the world war 2.

And 50 years later, a deeper mystery still swirls.

Was the technology that brought man to the moon

extraterrestrial itself?

The story begins in southwest Germany, just before the war.

There's a story that in 1936, in the Black Forest,

There was a crash of a UFO.

[ crashing ]

[ flames crackling ]

The crashed UFO was taken to Wewelsburg castle,

One of the key Third Reich headquarters,

And that's where the process of reverse engineering began.

According to some accounts, the nazi scientists

were able to obtain the craft, reverse-engineer the technology,

and eventually develop rockets, advanced guidance systems,

Bombers, flying wings,

and technology that the world has never seen.

Narrator: If this incredible story is true,

then Hitler's armies may have had an extraterrestrial edge

in their battle for world domination.

The first clues appeared after the allied invasion.

June 13th, 1944, one week after the D-day landings...

[ gunfire ]

In the coastal region of Normandy, France,

american and british troops

are fighting to free western Europe

from the grip of Hitler's Third Reich.

[ explosion ]

The nazis retaliate by launching an incredible new weapon --

V-1 rockets called buzz bombs -- aimed for England.

On D-day, the allies landed, somewhat unexpectedly,

and more successfully than the germans had anticipated,

and the launching of the V-1 was to get revenge

on them for this invasion,

and try to undermine british morale.

The V rockets were Germany's first wunderwaffen,

Wonder weapons of world war 2,

and could have been game changers.

[ plane engine rumbling ]

They were the first essentially guided missiles

Of modern warfare.

[ plane engine rumbling ]

Effectively, the V-1 just flew a lot of the time over London.

And then, when the fuel ran out,

the thing would plummet to the earth and explode.

[ explosion ]

And I remember, my grandparents who lived in London,

telling me about this.

"you were alright as long as you heard the engine,

but the moment the engine stopped..."

[ engine stops ]

[ sirens wail ]

"...There was terror, and people just dived for cover."

[ sirens wail, explosions ]

Narrator: Three months later, in german-occupied Holland,

the nazis unleash an even more powerful weapon.

[ rumbling ]

The V-2 was effectively a long-range ballistic missile.

It was a rocket.

It traveled to the very fringe of space.

There was no warning, no possible defense against it.

Narrator: Nor any logical explanation for the germans developing

such advanced weaponry seemingly out of thin air.

There were rockets at the time, in 1937,

after ten years of test flights.

American engineer Robert Goddard fired a liquid-fueled A8

to an altitude of 9,000 feet, a record-setting achievement.

But as cutting edge as it was, Goddard's rocket

could only travel up and down,

primitive in contrast to the V-1 and V-2,

which soared over long distances,

their routes programmed into an onboard computer.

This new navigation system is a quantum leap forward

in rocket technology.

Pope: These weapons nearly changed

not just the course of the war,

but arguably the course of human history.

And the science, the technology came that close

to winning the war for the germans.

Narrator: So was it sheer coincidence

that german aerospace engineering took off

in the years after the UFO crash in the Black Forest?

UFO researchers say no, and point squarely at another

nazi innovation -- the flying wing.

The nazis had something called the Horten Ho 229,

which was a flying-wing design.

This plane was totally revolutionary

and far beyond anything

that the americans could have even conceived of at the time.

It had no tail.

It was literally just a flying wing.

It was essentially the predecessor

to the american B-2 bomber.

The fact that the nazis even had the idea for it, it's amazing.

[ whooshing ]

This is a delta-shaped craft,

and again, this design was like nothing

that had been seen before in the aviation community.

And if you look at the shape of this aircraft,

it really does remind you,

For all the world, of a B-2 stealth bomber.

Narrator: It's hard to believe that half a century before

the U.S. Military deployed this american icon,

the nazis were developing the same stealth technology --

a flying wing --

in an era before calculators were even invented.

Convincing evidence of possible extraterrestrial influence

behind Hitler's reign of terror.

Pope: That might explain how, seemingly from nowhere,

the nazis suddenly acquired technology

that frankly was a generation or two ahead of itself

All within a matter of years, and all,

if the stories are to be believed,

very shortly after this UFO crash in the Black Forest.

Narrator: And the longer the war went on,

the more curious german spacecraft,

from flying missiles to flying saucers.

Kurlander: The nazis couldn't win the war

conventionally anymore, so they needed miracle weapons.

These craft were shaped like the classic-shaped disk UFOs.

Narrator: In his quest to dominate Europe,

Adolf Hitler relied on an ever-advancing array

Of incredible airborne weapons,

the likes of which the world had never seen,

Weapons some people claim

were reverse-engineered from UFO technology.

Some nazis were really concerned by '43 or '44

that they couldn't win the war conventionally anymore,

so they needed miracle weapons or new technologies.

So there's clear evidence that some nazis,

scientists and engineers,

experimented with things that might look like flying saucers.

One of the scientists who it's claimed worked on this

recovered alien technology,

was Viktor Schauberger.

He is an austrian inventor who many believe was really

a pioneer in the field of anti-gravity.

Narrator: Stories passed down since the war

suggest that Schauberger's most ambitious development

for the nazi war effort

was a revolutionary aircraft called the Haunebu.

Dolan: There's a lot of mystique about Schauberger's work,

But it is entirely possible, and I think likely,

that he developed disk-shaped air frames

For the reich as experimental devices.

Viktor Schauberger was the person pivotal

to the whole Haunebu program.

And he was the one designing this.

He was the one trying to figure out

how to construct a prototype.

He was the one who would ultimately have to answer

to Hitler himself on, "are any of these projects

ready for operational deployment?"

Huge pressure on him to come up with the goods and deliver.

Germany had an incredibly

advanced scientific infrastructure, obviously,

and an equally advanced industrial infrastructure

to accommodate some of the most incredible scientific research

of the mid-20th century.

Narrator: To expedite Schauberger's project,

the nazis gather workers from concentration camps.

Kurlander: He was told, "we're gonna give you slave labor.

We don't care what happens to them."

Because a lot of the stuff that Schauberger's working with

involved radiation, mercury,

and people would get poisoned, so they said, "go ahead.

You've got all these free laborers.

We'd like to see what you can do with that."

Narrator: At the heart of the radical design for the Haunebu

is a propulsion system

called The Repulsine, that would, in theory,

allow the craft not only to hover,

but maneuver through the air in almost any direction.

Pope: Some people say that it was powered

by some sort of manipulation of magnetic fields,

but others go further and say,

"actually, it was an anti-gravity device."

It's been reported that the nazis had developed two craft,

the Haunebu I and the Haunebu II.

It stood about 82 feet high.

These were massive craft,

capable of taking up to 20 people up into the air,

maybe even into space.

But they also were shaped like the classic-shaped disk UFOs.

They wanted to create anti-gravity craft

that could be used in the war against the west.

To us, this is kind of unusual and something

we would never even bother to try,

but guys like Schauberger decided,

"we're gonna try everything."

Narrator: But if Schauberger really designed

and built a flying saucer, where's the proof?

Some answers come in 1945, after the war,

when the U.S. Military discovers secret nazi archives,

and what they find proves shocking.

Documents confirm that Viktor Schauberger had,

in fact, developed designs for not one,

but three working versions of the Haunebu spacecraft.

Documents even claim that the Haunebu could achieve

speeds of 1,200 miles per hour,

far beyond the limits of flight at that time.

And years later, hard evidence has come to light.

Seen here for the first time on national television,

footage of what appears to be

a Haunebu saucer's test flight in 1939.

Bob Spearing, a visual analysis expert

for the mutual UFO network, studied the film.

What we're looking at here is the purported flight

of a nazi aircraft called the Haunebu.

But why would they be doing it in a populated area

such as seen in this film?

We don't know.

It's difficult to say where this film came from.

Whether or not this film is legitimate is subject to doubt,

but there are certain things about the film

which suggest that it might be real.

You can see emulsion flakes coming off the film,

which suggests that it was 16-millimeter film

as opposed to it being a modern video.

We know the nazis were experimenting with craft

of this shape back then,

and from all intents and purposes,

the age of the film is probably about 1939 vintage.

And this could be an experimental aircraft

being filmed in nazi Germany at the time.

So it is possible that this is a legitimate film.

Pope: Did the nazis get their hands

on something literally from out of this world?

And give us a technology that was perhaps not just

hundreds, but maybe thousands of years

ahead of anything that we have,

even now.

All of this raises the question --

Could this story of this UFO crash in 1936

in the Black Forest be true?

Might that be where the nazis acquired these ideas

and this prototype technology?

I mean, you have to scratch your head and think,

"how in the world did we even win the war?"

It appears that this may have been the first time

that our military has faced advanced technology

that could be of alien origin.

Narrator: Though many researchers are convinced

that Schauberger's work likely benefited

from extraterrestrial technology,

there are stranger theories floating around

of an even deeper connection to an alien intelligence.

Now it's well-known that the nazis were attempting

to channel from spirit beings,

and they were trying to communicate

with extraterrestrials.

Bara: Schauberger said that he was in sort of a supernatural

communication with higher beings that gave him these ideas.

He said these ideas were not his.

They actually came from a higher source.

He used all these different influences to help inspire

and create his revolutionarily inventions.

Narrator: It sounds far-fetched,

but the evidence may have manifested itself

in the skies above nazi Germany.

Pope: One of the great mysteries of world war II

revolves around foo fighters,

variously described as balls of light

often seen in close vicinity of aircraft.

The allied command really didn't know

what they were dealing with.

[ explosion ]

Narrator: Many UFO experts believe the crash in the Black Forest

was a watershed moment in german aerospace development.

But retro-engineering a spacecraft is one thing.

Calling on alien ships

to help fight the enemy is quite another.

In late December 1944,

as the U.S. Air Force prepares to drop bombs over nazi Germany,

a new, unimaginable threat is first seen in the skies.

An allied pilot spots a bright ball of light

approaching fast on a collision course.

The pilot tries to avoid an imminent crash when suddenly

the object disappears right before his eyes.

Dolan: Allied bombing missions typically over Germany

would report objects,

often luminous types of objects coming toward their aircraft,

pacing them for a certain period of time

coinciding with what seemed like engine interference on the plane

and then the objects would often zoom off,

sometimes go straight up and just go out of sight.

Pope: One of the great mysteries of world war II

revolves around the so-called foo fighters.

Now these were variously described as

balls of light,

often seen in close vicinity of aircraft.

So we have multiple pilot witnesses,

so that takes you into the realm of credibility here.

People thought that they were maybe under attack

and tried to take some evasive actions.

British and U.S. Pilots who saw these things

thought that this was some sort of nazi secret weapon.

The nazis somehow having acquired technology

generations ahead

Of anything that anyone else had at the time.

At first, air force pilot reports are dismissed

as misinterpretations of crews under fire

in the heat of battle, but increasingly

american and british military officials realize

they're dealing with something that defies all explanation.

They enveloped american fighters as they were

conducting these bombing raids over Germany.

These things would keep pace with

and follow american aircraft.

And, initially, we wondered if it was nazi technology.

They were doing things that no conventional aircraft could do,

and it didn't appear that they were solid objects.

Dolan: One of the things that you see with these foo fighter reports

is they're not like ordinary aircraft.

How they move seemed to be kind of a mystery.

There are elements of these foo fighters

that are fascinating,

mysterious and unexplained.

[ rumbling ]

And before long, pilots took to calling them

"foo fighters," after the french word "feu" for "fire,"

and because of how dangerous

they thought these objects might be.

They have capabilities that were, I would say,

superior to that of bomber and fighter aircraft.

They seemed to be faster,

they seemed to have greater maneuverability.

They didn't seem to make any noise,

but they definitely seemed to be intelligently controlled.

Narrator: On December 13th, 1944, in Paris, France,

the allied war command issues a press release

describing the foo fighters

as "the newest nazi secret weapon."

Dolan: It's a reasonable speculation,

but the problem is, what's the evidence

that the germans actually were creating these things?

And the answer to that is none.

Narrator: Which leads to some radical theories.

Could it be, as some researchers speculate, that the foo fighters

were not simply reverse-engineered alien tech,

but were actually flown by extraterrestrials

in support of the nazis?

Or were they the most shocking example yet

of a wonder weapon from nazi scientists?

Pope: There are stories that the nazis

developed two prototype weapons systems

that might explain some of these foo fighter sightings.

The first was called Soap Bubbles,

Which was effectively a balloon

with a sort of metal coil inside,

which would have acted to confound radar systems.

The second was apparently codenamed "Flying Turtle"

and was, to all intents and purposes,

a drone, an unmanned aerial vehicle,

capable of interfering with electrical systems.

Bara: I think there's definitely a connection

between the nazi energy research that they were conducting

and these foo fighters.

It may actually be possible that they were nothing more

than some sort of reconnaissance energy

that was being used by the nazis to find out

where these different aircraft and bomber squadrons

were coming from.

They definitely were intelligently controlled,

but if they weren't nazi weapons of some kind,

then what were they?

Narrator: The effect that foo fighters were having allied aircraft

seems remarkably similar to what is reported

during more modern UFO encounters.

Pope: The loss of power is something very often

associated not just with these apparent nazi prototype weapons,

but with UFOs,

and the theory is that

the UFO has some sort of propulsion system

that affects electromagnetic devices

and cause them to stall.

Dolan: I will say that something as big

as the second world war

would be of interest to any observing intelligence.

If I were to guess what the foo fighters were,

I would say that they were not from our civilization.

If they were reported today, if they were seen now by pilots,

they would be called UFOs.

There's no question that this sparked the UFO craze,

so was this extraterrestrial technology.

Or was it perhaps a weapon

used by the nazis or another government?

Narrator: If the foo fighters were in fact UFOs,

were they here to spy on us?

Win the war for the nazis?

We may never know.

Then again, the truth could be hiding

in the incredible secret weapon that may still be active today.

Hitler, in fact, was certain it was key to winning the war.

Lukes: Is is possible that the nazis activated this technology

and were able to time travel and escape world war II?

Narrator: UFO researchers believe that during world war II,

Allied forces may have unknowingly battled

against an arsenal of weapons from out of this world.

But among all of Germany's clandestine projects,

one stands out.

Ludwikowice, Poland --

After the nazi defeat in mid-1945...

...American intelligence officers

interrogate a nazi general

named Jakob Sporrenberg who reveals a shocking secret --

details of a bizarre weapon

said to be more powerful than any other in the nazi arsenal.

The german general had told him that this machine

was apparently something so extraordinary that even

the concept seemed almost impossible to conceive of,

and this device apparently was bizarre-looking.

Literally shaped like a bell,

but with strange hieroglyphs around it.

Narrator: The hieroglyphs are similar,

general Sporrenberg claims, to ancient germanic symbols,

but he doesn't know what they mean.

Today, some researchers believe the symbols

may have some sort of mystical meaning

for nazi commander and noted engineer Hans Kammler,

who helped develop this mysterious machine.

The german Die Glocke, or the nazi bell,

is a very fascinating case.

It was developed by a very high-level physicist.

Hitler, in fact, was certain it was key to winning the war.

What we know about the story of the bell

is that it involved a rapidly rotating mercury

that would create a kind of gravitational bubble,

And the idea is that if you charge it with a negative

and a positive charge on either end

and give it a very, very powerful charge,

zou can achieve a lift.

This was apparently not just a craft,

but this is theoretical physics that even today

is at the cutting edge

and would potentially open the door to travel through time.

Is it possible the nazis were attempting

to break through the time-space continuum?

[ ticking, rumbling ]

According to some accounts, Die Glocke,

once it was powered up, effectively levitated

and then had to be actually held down,

sort of tethered and hinged,

and it's extraordinary to think that even now,

supposedly, we don't have this technology.

So the idea that something like this

was being developed by the nazis back in the '40s

is incredible,

and just makes one think

maybe our entire perception of history is wrong.

Now clearly, for the germans

in the dying days of the second world war,

When effectively even Hitler knew that the war was lost,

the only hope perhaps of changing the outcome

Would have been time travel.

And it sounds like science fiction, but who knows?

One last desperate throw of the dice,

a huge gamble with something that may not work

but, my goodness, if it does, it changes everything.

Narrator: We may never know if Die Glocke ever worked as envisioned,

or if Hans Kammler achieved the nazi dream of time travel.

Official documentation on the bell is non-existent.

The problem that we have is knowing what is true

and what is fantasy.

Narrator: When Germany surrendered in may of 1945,

No trace of Kammler or the bell was ever found,

but the trail didn't go cold forever.

December 9th, 1965 --

A large fireball streaks across the midwestern skies,

witnessed by thousands of people in six states.

It crashes in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania,

Just south of Pittsburgh.

Dolan: There were eyewitnesses on the ground

who went into the wooded area

before they were ushered out by police,

describing it as essentially acorn-shaped,

maybe about ten feet high and so forth with odd markings

that they could not decipher.

It was something that had very significant

National Security implications.

That explains the feds coming in

and the military taking over the place.

Pope: We know from multiple witnesses

that there was some sort of covert operation

to spirit this Kecksburg craft away.

A bell-shaped object with hieroglyphs around the base

that's then subsequently loaded onto a truck and taken away?

So one obviously speculates

this must have been the military,

that this craft must have ended up

in the hands of the intelligence community.

Narrator: To this day, a blanket of total secrecy

and denial by the U.S. Government

surrounds the incident at Kecksburg

and the unidentified object that crashed there.

But if this unknown object is the same shape, size,

and had similar hieroglyphs around the base

as the nazi Die Glocke, as some researchers believe,

could the object that fell in Kecksburg

actually be the nazi bell?

And if it is, where did it come from?

Since the nazi bell was developed as a time machine,

could it be that it literally arrived

via time travel from the year 1945?

Some people actually think that the nazi bell,

since it was never recovered, was perhaps found and activated.

Is it possible that the nazis activated this technology

and were able to use it to time travel

and escape world war II?

[ crackling ]

If Die Glocke and the Kecksburg UFO

Were one and the same object,

then is it possible that this was a nazi time machine

that went 20 years into the future?

and if so, was there someone inside it?

A top nazi general, a german scientist,

Hitler himself?

We simply don't know.

And maybe we'll never know.

Narrator: Had the nazis discovered

the world's first time-travel technology?

And, if so, UFO researchers suggest this technology

may have its origins in the crash in Germany's Black Forest.

The end of world war II brought about the complete destruction

of Adolf Hitler and his nazi regime,

but the science lived on, and so do the secrets.

Pope: We talk about the spoils of war.

Now, in this case, one of those key spoils of war

was actually the brainpower of the nazi scientists.

Narrator: Following the allied victory over the nazis

In the second world war...

...An international tribunal is convened in Nuremberg, Germany.

A number of highest profile nazis who were still alive

Were put on trial for their crimes

in fostering the nazi regime.

Narrator: As for the Third Reich scientists,

they had a different fate in store.

We talk about the spoils of war.

Now, in this case, one of those key spoils of war

was actually the brainpower of the nazi scientists.

Narrator: One of the most sought-after scientists is Wernher von Braun,

The head of Hitler's rocket program.

He was responsible for the groundbreaking guidance systems

that allowed V-2 rockets to arc horizontally over long distances

before hitting their market.

Another innovator everyone wanted was Viktor Schauberger,

the genius behind Die Glocke and the anti-gravity Haunebu.

Researchers believe he held many secrets to UFO technology

and perhaps even had a direct connection

to alien intelligence.

All these brilliant nazi scientists, of course,

were hugely attractive both to the U.S. Government,

the British government, and indeed the Soviet Union.

And although there were supposedly legal restrictions

on nazis allowed to come to the U.S.,

a lot of these key nazi scientists

escaped trial at Nuremberg

and were spirited away to work for the U.S. Government.

[ rumbling ]

There were an awful lot of the nazi scientists who said,

"we don't want to be captured by the russians,"

and made their way west,

including people like Wernher von Braun,

who took his entire rocket team to the west

in order to surrender to the americans

in order to help them with their rocketry programs.

Narrator: Under a top-secret program called operation Paperclip,

Nazi scientists are resettled in America,

often under new identities.

Dolan: Viktor Schauberger -- the developer of the flying disk

that may indeed have had some kind of levitational effect,

he was brought to the United States,

but still held in custody for quite some time.

Obviously, the U.S. Government squeezed him

for every drop of knowledge that he had.

The idea was to import nazi scientists

With very, very questionable backgrounds

into the United States

to work on our new high technology-development programs.

Schauberger, von Braun,

and many others were brought over in spite of the fact

that they had been involved in various war crimes

during the war itself.

Operation Paperclip was a very strategic move

by the United States.

What they did was they saw how nazi Germany

had really advanced to a high superpower

In a very short period of time,

using all these advanced, exotic technologies.

Then they said to themselves, "wait a minute.

We've got to get our hands on these scientists

because those are the people that knew how to develop these."

So we have intelligence officers

and nazi scientists all working in the United States,

Working on top-secret projects

and put into high positions of power.

Dolan: So the fact that the United States

could lead these trials against these nazis

and then, at the same time, bring many of the other nazis

over whose skills were still coveted --

Clearly that's highly hypocritical.

Narrator: Still, operation Paperclip

delivered to the U.S. a wealth of scientific knowledge

and maybe even a treasure trove of extraterrestrial technology.

But what impact will nazi UFO secrets have on America?

-Dolan: Dr. Wernher von braun

ran the program for the V-2 rockets.

He became the most prominent person in NASA.

Tindal: The fact that we beat the russians to the moon

has its roots in nazi technology.

Narrator: After world war II, the United States is desperate

for any edge over its new archrival, the Soviet Union,

as both countries set their sights on the moon.

The U.S. found that edge, say UFO researchers,

from their undercover nazi scientists

with their knowledge of secret alien technology.

Carson: The purpose that they put these nazis in positions of power

was because they wanted to be able to let them feel free

to continue to develop a lot of the technologies.

Because a lot of these nazis were actually excited

and pleased with the technology that they were developing.

It was like they had found their life's calling.

Pope: All this nazi technology --

not just rockets and jet engines,

but according to some people anti-gravity

and even perhaps time travel --

all this technology was now in the hands

Of the U.S. Government.

And it's at this point onwards that the United States

really becomes the dominant power on the face of the earth.

Narrator: Wernher von Braun and Viktor Schauberger

Are instrumental in the U.S. Space program,

but once they've shared all their secrets,

they become a lot less valuable.

Pope: These nazi scientists had a mixed fate.

Viktor Schauberger is one of the intriguing characters here.

This maverick austrian inventor signed away the rights

and the patents to all sorts of inventions and discoveries.

And within five days of being repatriated back to Austria,

he was dead.

Did he know too much?

Was he silenced once he had been debriefed

and once the information had been extracted from him

and signed away?

We don't know.

But many of these scientists would be put to work

on developing the sorts of technologies

that they had been using for the nazis,

turning it into what ultimately became,

for example, the Titan rocket.

And much of our modern technology

that we have even today

With intercontinental ballistic missiles and space rockets --

all of that effectively was derived

from this nazi rocket technology.

The most famous of all the scientists, of course,

Was dr. Wernher von Braun,

who became the most prominent person in NASA,

and designed the Saturn V rockets,

that were the rockets that took astronauts

out of earth orbit to the moon.

It was von Braun and other top nazi scientists

who had created the V-2 program,

and when they were brought here

that turned into our rocket program.

Lukes: The truth is, as you look back at the Apollo Space Program,

it becomes clear that we really didn't have

an american rocket program.

We had a german rocket program, and without them,

we wouldn't have been able to get to the moon,

and we must clearly wouldn't have been able

to beat the russians there.

Narrator: But is it possible that the nazi connection

to extraterrestrial technology

runs deeper than mere mechanics and engineering?

Perhaps a much more profound nexus to alien intelligence

that we can only guess at.

Some people believe that the United States government

wanted to use the nazi scientists

to develop the alien technology

and potentially contact extraterrestrial civilizations.

Some think that, when they created NASA,

they had two different sides to it --

the public front of the space program,

and the secret program

where they developed black-budget alien technologies

that the public will never know about.

Narrator: We may also never know how much the nazi war machine

was influenced by extraterrestrial technology,

technology that nearly turned the tide of world war II.

We must remember that the Black Forest UFO crash in 1936

takes place just as hitler and the nazis

are cementing their power and authority.

So one asks the question, could this crash of a UFO

and the acquisition of this extraterrestrial technology

have been the deciding factor in making Hitler

and his top generals decide to try to conquer the world?

Alien technology came very close to giving Hitler

what he needed to win the war in Europe.

The capabilities of these weapons and devices

had they been exploited into mass production

would have been devastating to the americans,

and there is no way that the allies could have

possibly caught up in time

to defend themselves against these wonder weapons.

Narrator: For UFO researchers,

the case is convincing that alien technology

inspired nazi Germany's wonder weapons

and NASA's space program,

a seed planted in the Black Forest

that would forever change life on earth.
