Los Angeles, California,

March 9th, 2019.

Dissatisfied with mainstream scientific

analysis of the DoD gimbal video, author

and ancient astronaut theorist Mike

Barah invited astrophysicist and

aerospace engineer Dr. Travis Taylor to

participate in an evaluation of the

DoD's footage.

They are also curious about the

potential connection between the

extraordinary movements of the UFO craft

depicted and what Bob Lazar reported as

the unique properties of what he is

convinced was a captured

extraterrestrial [music] spacecraft

powered by element 115.

>> So here's the thing though. If you

assume the pilots are telling the truth

and if you assume the DoD is telling the

truth,

>> right,

>> then don't you have a much stronger case

for something unusual being present on

these videos?

>> Yeah. So, if you make all those

assumptions, then you have this craft in

this video that is performing outside of

our abilities to manipulate physics with

aerospace vehicles. Today,

>> Travis Taylor has worked on [music]

various programs for the United States

Department of Defense and NASA for over

16 years. I'm an optical scientist, an

aerospace engineer, an astronomer, and a

physicist. [music] And I've worked in

the aerospace and defense industry since

I was 17 years old. And [music] it's

intriguing that a lot of people are

saying that this gimbal video is

something like what Bob [music] Lazar

claims to have worked on.

Mike Barah has written numerous books

about US [music] and international space

programs and has done extensive research

into aviation technology.

>> The thing to me that's really

interesting about this video is the fact

that it actually encourages people to

believe that these are alien spacecraft.

Now, why would the government want to do

that? For Mike and Travis, the first

step in analyzing the DoD footage is to

determine whether it is genuine or could

have been fabricated.

To assist them in this effort, they have

turned to a master of illusion.

>> Hey.

>> Hey.

>> Hollywood visual effects supervisor Sam

Edwards.

>> How you doing, Travis? Well, thanks for

having us here.

>> It's great. Yeah. Come on. After you.

This way.

>> Yeah. Perfect. Here's the screeny room.

>> Oh, wow. This is great.

>> Yeah.

>> Have a seat anywhere.

So, do you think that you and your team

could go and recreate a video that

looked authentic like it came from, you

know, the F-18 gun camera from, you

know, 2004 or whatever?

>> Listen, I I'm in the visual effects

business, right? And we don't ever say

no.

>> Right. Right.

>> Right. But, you know, the joke is about

the the moon landing is it must be real

because Hollywood would never make

something so boring.

>> Right. Right. Good point.

>> So, there's no mediation at all to this

image. Right. It couldn't be more dull.

It's just technically this is in there

and that's in there. There's nobody's

artistic vision at all.

>> That's a that that to me is one of the

best arguments right there for it. That

makes perfect sense.

While there is no way to determine

[music] for certain that the video

wasn't fabricated, based on what they

are seeing, as well as the pilot's

eyewitness [music] corroboration, Mike,

Travis, and Sam are convinced that the

footage is genuine.

If true, [music] the implications are

profound, as even some military

personnel are of the opinion that the

maneuvers displayed by the craft in the

gimbal video resemble no known man-made

technology.

So now the next question is is the

origin of that advanced propulsion. Is

it man-made advanced propulsion or is it

extraterrestrial?

>> Let's try to reverse engineer what's

there and understand what we're looking

at. So yeah, it's air to air footage and

I thought that was kind of cool.

I stabilized out some of the camera

motion so we could kind of get a better

feel for its trajectory.

>> Okay.

>> Wow. Yeah,

>> that's cool. That tells us how much it's

actually moving,

>> which doesn't seem to me to be

supersonic or anything like it.

>> If you look at that, it looks to me like

there's structure in a couple of places.

Uh, now we're below it, right?

Something right in here and here and

then something here. M the interesting

thing here is if you were looking at an

SR71 and it was below you and you're

looking down at it, the wings would look

sort of discshaped like that and there

would be a tail and there would be a

nose structure and these would be your

wings.

>> If that's a wing, then what's what's

going on now,

right? It's still traveling in the same

direction.

>> Yeah,

>> it it looks a lot like a top, doesn't

it?

>> It doesn't really coincide with the

aerodynamics of a regular airplane. You

look at fighter pilots, they they can

roll, they can pitch, they can crab,

they can yaw. I mean, they can do all

sorts of things to an airplane to make

it look unusual.

>> I I hear what you're saying. And uh we

made a a CG model

[music] and I kind of handtracked it to

sort of match its motion so we could

kind of get a feel for what some of its

dimensions are.

>> Yeah, it's interesting. [music] If it's

looking straight on like your model

there, your model matches to it pretty

good.

Well, let me show you something else

that catches my eye, gentlemen. [music]

What seems odd to me, this kind of light

that follows behind the craft.

There's no such thing as a light source

that follows around behind an aircraft,

right? Because it's clearly there now

that you pointed. I can't believe I

didn't see it before.

>> Yeah.

>> So, the system is in black hot mode.

What that tells me if black is hot,

there's a cold region,

>> a cold region around the vehicle. Think

about it is a cold region around a

propulsion system is odd. You typically

are going to be, you know, warm coming

out of the exhaust or near your engine.

>> Doesn't argue that it's not a

conventional propulsion system.

July 20th, 1976,

NASA's unmanned Viking 1 orbiter and

lander touches down on the surface of

Mars. 3 weeks later, it is joined by its

companion, the Viking 2. For the first

time ever, humanity has established a

presence on another planet.

The Viking landers actually landed on

Mars and took a sample, but they landed

in one spot and they stayed in one spot.

We've since sent the Pathfinder sojourer

for the first time. We [music] have a

system on Mars that if we see something

shiny over there and we want to go check

it out, we'll send the rover and get a

very close look at it, take samples, get

high definition video from it. And uh

that is a very good start for figuring

out where people need to go when we get

ready to send them there.

>> In 2012, the Curiosity rover landed on

Mars's Gail Crater.

It was the most ambitious Mars mission

flown by NASA to date.

>> Touchdown confirmed. Proceed on Mars.

One of its objectives was to [music]

gather data that will help scientists

determine what is needed to make the

planet more habitable for human

exploration.

In June 2018,

scientist and aerospace engineer Dr.

Travis Taylor traveled to Johnson Space

Center in Houston, Texas.

There he met with NASA exploration

mission scientist [music]

Dr. Elizabeth Rampy.

>> Dr. Rampy analyzes data obtained by the

Mars Curiosity rover which 6 years into

its mission is sending back some of its

most extraordinary findings yet.

Uh so there was very late breaking news

recently from the Curiosity rover and

some interesting information came out of

the sample analysis at Mars or SAM

instrument.

>> Okay.

>> So SAM can measure gases in the

atmosphere and it can also measure gases

that are evolved from samples. So

basically we drill a rock,

deliver [music] that powder to the

instrument and then that instrument

heats up the sample and measures the

gases that are coming off

>> whatever out gases. It can tell you what

this what [music] that is. Right.

>> Exactly. So, a big piece of information

from the atmosphere is that we've been

tracking methane over the last few

Martian years. And what we see is that

[music] there is a cycle to it where it

spikes late summer, early autumn, and

then dips again.

>> Wow.

>> Yeah. So, the big question is why?

>> So, that could possibly be due to an

organic material, right? Or biological

source.

>> Exactly. So, that's right. I know. So

huge. It's not the only hypothesis out

there, but [music] you know, there is

the possibility that there is extant

life on Mars that is [music] creating

this methane.

>> Wow. The fact that NASA has now released

information that they've measured a

cycle of methane that goes up in the

summer and down in the winter. It sounds

very similar to how biological processes

create methane here on Earth. That could

be evidence that there's life right now

on Mars.

Life on Mars.

According to NASA, such a profound

notion is a distinct possibility.

But although the space agency is still

working to confirm their findings,

ancient astronaut theorists remain

confident of the outcome.

They have maintained for decades that

not only does the red planet contain

life, but that it was once home to a

highly advanced extraterrestrial [music]

civilization.

And for their proof, they point to the

existence of possible structures found

on its surface.

There are lots of claims of photographs

showing different features on the

surface of Mars. These are the come from

the orbiters that are obviously taking

pictures as they go around all the time.

And some people would find different

features and [music] interpret them as

geometric or rectalinear structures that

suggest civilization.

You see everything you would expect to

see if you went to some place on planet

Earth 50,000 years from now when the

[music] human race had been wiped out.

They clearly are technological objects

that have become fossilized.

>> While the notion that an ancient

civilization once existed on Mars

[music] may sound far-fetched,

NASA has continued to make discoveries

that could [music] reveal something even

more incredible. That life on Earth

actually originated on Mars.

>> So, what is this? Tell me what this is.

>> Okay, so this is a Martian meteorite.

So, this is a rock that came from Mars.

>> How long ago?

>> The rock itself is about 180 million

years old. So, that's when it

crystallized on Mars. And to give you

some context, 180 million years ago,

dinosaurs were roaming the Earth,

>> right? Well, we know that this rock came

from Mars. So, if there was organic

material on Mars 3 and a half billion

years ago, something could have caused

that organic material to go from there

to here. Right.

>> Right. And what's [music] interesting

about, you know, 3 and 1/2 billion years

ago is that's when [music] life was

taking hold on Earth. So, and and Mars

was once very Earthlike with uh rivers

and lakes. So, why not Mars? We've got

all the building blocks for life on

Mars, so why couldn't

>> it's very possible that we're

descendants of Martians.

>> It I'm not going to rule that out.

University of California at Irvine,

April 2017.

Aerospace engineer Travis Taylor has

obtained a model of an aircraft whose

design specifications are based solely

on information gleaned from ancient

Indian texts that are believed to have

been formally set to writing in 500 BC.

He is going to subject it to wind tunnel

analysis to determine if it is a viable

flying machine.

>> So explain to me what we've set up here

with that wind tunnel.

>> Okay, so this is our aerospace vehicle

model. It's connected to this boom. The

armature has a force gauge on it. We're

going to have air flow go past it at

about 50 mph or so. And then we're going

to measure forces against it to

determine if uh if it's going to fly or

not.

>> And so what are the signs that you're

looking for in order to determine

whether this is in fact aerodynamically

sound,

>> right? So we're going to measure the uh

normal force and the normal force is up

or down. Uh if it starts to move up,

then that'll be exciting because it's

actually going to be rising and that's

how you get flight. You know, when an

airplane turns up and starts to move,

it's because it's getting lift. Uh, the

other thing is I don't want to see it

going real bad side to side or or real

bad chatter up and down because that

would mean it's unstable.

>> All right. Well, let's do it. Let's fire

her up and see what happens.

>> Yeah, let's do it.

>> The flow is coming up to speed.

>> Yeah.

While being subjected to 50 mph winds,

the craft exhibits a slight lift upwards

yet remains relatively steady.

>> No side to side wobble.

>> Sensors record the measurements of

various forces as well as torque and

pitch to determine just how aerodynamic

the body is.

>> It looks very stable.

>> [music]

>> All right. So, let's look at the

results. So, what happened during the

test was the normal force, which is

where we measure the lift, it was

positive between 003 and 006 lb [music]

of force. That means we were measuring

lift. So, our vehicle in the wind tunnel

experiment was showing positive lift

like an aircraft [music] would. Did you

expect these results from a shape that's

like that?

>> Well, the shape looks like a lifting

body to me, but you never know until you

actually do the experiment. And we have

experimental results now that says it

is. So, that's the exciting part. And

>> and what do you say to anyone uh who

questions the idea that this information

has been taken from a text that's at

least 1,800 years old? The only thing

you can say is we performed a good

scientific experiment and the results

were that the shape made from those

texts is a viable aerodynamic structure.

The aircraft model created using details

garnered [music] from the ancient Indian

texts has proven to be flightw worthy.

Is it possible that by studying the

ancient Indian [music] texts, we may be

able to recreate advanced technology

that existed thousands of years ago in

India?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that

the texts may also contain details for

advanced spacecraft. [music]

Hindu scholars point out [music] that

stories of space travel can be found

throughout the pages of the ancient

Sanskrit texts.

There are even detailed accounts of

humans entering flying crafts and being

transported to other solar systems.

In the ancient text of Vishnu Purana,

Lord Vishnu decides to take [music]

Dhua, a human being, through an

interstellar journey. We know this

because it is specifically stated that

Dua would be taken beyond planets like

Mercury, Venus, and even beyond some

other stars. According to the text, he

went past seven planetary systems in a

physical craft and eventually he reached

the solar system and planet of Vishnu

loca, the planet that Vishnu is said to

have come from. So here we have the

story of extraterrestrials taking a

human to another solar system. [music]

Although few details [music] exist of

the craft DUVA was transported in,

scholars have noted that highly [music]

specific descriptions of space vehicles

can be found throughout the texts.

In the Samaranga Sutra text, there's a

description of an engine that uses

mercury and the mercury swirls in a

vortex and it uses the heat from perhaps

[music] solar power to create some type

of flying capability.

My thought on this is it sounds a lot

like an ion engine.

The concept for ion engines has actually

been around for more than a hundred

years. Now, the way it works is xenon

gas, which is like helium or neon but

heavier, is introduced into a chamber

here and it's ionized, which means it's

given an electric charge. And once it

has an electric charge, a voltage

applied between this grid and one just

behind it causes the xenon to shoot out

of the engine. Well, the action of the

xenon going out this direction causes a

reaction that pushes the spacecraft in

the other direction. And that's how the

ion thruster propels the spacecraft. You

heat the ions up

and then you accelerate them at the back

end of the spacecraft. It puts out a

small amount of thrust but for a very

long time. And that's why ion ninjas are

uniquely perfect for inner [music] space

travel.

In 2017, NASA's Advanced [music]

Exploration Systems Division asserted

that identifying and extracting mineral

resources in space, such as iron,

tungsten, and titanium, would be

essential for future space exploration

and colonization. The moon and the

near-Earth objects that are not too far

from Earth, they're loaded with minerals

and and [music] raw materials. You can

look at the moon and where the Sea of

Tranquility and the other seas, they

have a different coloration because

there's titanium oxide covering the

surface. We know there's uranium there

because we've detected radon gas. So,

there's all sorts of materials. One of

the companies I'm proud of having

co-founded is a company called Planetary

Resources who's got a vision of going to

near-Earth asteroids to mine those

asteroids for fuel and ultimately

precious metals, platinum group metals

or construction metals.

But as NASA makes [music] plans to mine

essential space minerals, is it possible

that other advanced civilizations came

to Earth centuries ago for the same

reason?

As far [music] as ancient astronaut

theorists are concerned, the answer is

yes. And they believe the evidence can

be found in the Samrian stories of the

Anunnaki written more than [music] 5,000

years ago.

When we analyze the story of the

Anunnaki's creation of humanity, some

very interesting nuances come out that

might lead into understanding what

humans might face in their own eventual

colonization of another planet.

When famed ancient astronaut theorist

[music] Zechariah Sitchin studied the

Samrian tablets in the 1970s,

he not only reached the conclusion that

the Anunnaki came to Earth to escape a

dying planet, but also noted that while

here they used humans to mine for gold.

When we look at the creation stories of

biblical tales, we understand that God

created the earth in seven days. It

turns out that this consolidated version

of seven days can be [music] translated

to a much earlier story in Sumerian form

called the Atraasis where there's

actually seven tablets of [music]

creation telling how the Anunnaki came

to earth and genetically engineered us

in their image and in their likeness to

mine the gold for them here on earth.

Is it possible that when the ancient

Samrians wrote about giant beings coming

down from the sky and digging for gold,

they were in fact documenting a

visitation by extraterrestrials who were

mining for resources, just as NASA is

planning to do in the not tooistant

future.

June 2018,

scientist and aerospace engineer Dr.

Travis Taylor is at Johnson Space C

Center's building 9, the astronaut

training facility. He is meeting with

robotics engineer Lucien Juncan, who is

eager to show him the latest in

extraterrestrial transportation. I see

this is a rover. Tell me a little bit

about it.

>> Yeah, this is basically a off-roading RV

for moon and Mars.

>> And what what is it that makes this so

much better than say the lunar rover?

>> It can go out and explore. So the

concept is if you have a habitat, you're

going to take two of these rovers and

they'll go out for a week to two weeks

and explore. Come back, refuel, and then

we'll be back out.

>> Can we look inside or maybe go for a

ride?

>> Let's go for a ride.

>> Oh, that'll be awesome.

>> Okay, just put your foot there, jump on

up.

>> All right, pallet's on. Power's on. Go

to low gear.

>> Low gear. Push forward on the stick.

The planetary analog test site, also

known as the rockyard, is a multi-acre

simulation of lunar and Martian terrain.

It is here that the space exploration

vehicle endures rigorous testing to

determine its readiness for eventual

off-earth deployment.

>> Let's go through that crater first.

>> Okay. Just go up and over.

>> Yeah.

>> Can it handle that kind of a

>> Yeah. If you put your foot right up

there, that'll brace you in your seat.

>> So, like on a tank, you would typically

feel it tip over.

>> Yeah.

>> So, active suspension, each one of the

wheel modules, it senses it,

>> right? I see that. How about that?

>> All right. To ride across these,

>> drive across anything.

>> Wow. This is amazing. When it sees a big

rock like that, it just [music] goes

right over it.

>> Yeah. Just go right over it.

Let me show you something. All right.

>> So, you're going to pick out a rock and

we're going to explore the rock in this.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah. Let's look at that rock right over

there.

>> So, look at this rock right here.

>> Uh-huh.

>> You can bow down to it. And now, another

cool feature, you twist this way.

>> Oh, and crabs. Yeah. Yeah. I got you. I

got you.

>> Crabs.

>> See how we can just rotate all the way

around?

>> That's amazing. You're doing perfect.

>> And then we're going to shoot straight

up that hill right there.

>> Straight.

>> Yeah.

>> So, it is a rock climbing pool.

>> Climb up a wall in this thing. See?

>> Yeah. And we want the vehicle to go

places where they're like, "This is my

life support system. I'm not going

there."

>> Yeah. Right.

>> But the vehicle would go

>> We'll do they have to do it if they have

to.

November 1966,

3 years before the Apollo astronauts

made it to the moon, the Orbiter 2

spacecraft situates itself in lunar

orbit.

It was designed [music] to capture

highresolution images of the surface to

assist with the selection of landing

sites for the Apollo missions.

One image in particular catches the eye

of researchers as it shows what appear

to be the shadows of several pointed

[music]

spires.

On November 20th, 1966, the Lunar

Orbiter 2, NASA's probe photographs this

area on the moon that was actually in

the Sea of Tranquility, only 300 km away

from where Apollo 11 ended up landing.

And what's so bizarre is that this area

has undeniable architecture that looks

like what you would see from obelisks.

There's eight different spires. And

scientists calculated that the largest

of these spires would be an obelisk that

is 15 stories tall.

These do appear to be just like an

Egyptian style obelisk, but what the

heck are they doing on the moon?

Of the multiple anomalies on the moon, I

think the spires are some of the most

fascinating ones because astronomers

have calculated that these spires are

very tall for them to be exclusively

[music] natural occurrences.

They have to be artificial simply from

the fact that the moon has been

bombarded in kind of an incessant

meteoric rain for 4.5

billion years.

There is no way that [music] anything

bigger than a basketball can be standing

straight up on the lunar surface.

go there.

>> The inference is that NASA would have

known this and that one of the reasons

that they sent their mission there was

so that the astronauts of the Apollo

mission could gain more information

about these artificial structures on the

moon.

>> Telecom go

surgeon go.

>> Capcom work go for undocking.

>> Roger undocked.

On Apollo 11, when the astronauts were

descending to the lunar surface, they

got this very strange computer alarm.

>> 122 alarm 122 alarm,

>> the famous 122 computer alarm. And it

then basically nobody knew what it was.

What it came out to u was that the

computer itself was overwhelmed with

information

because Buzz Aldrin, the lunar module

pilot, had turned on the radars on the

lunar lander. It had two radars. It had

a sidelooking radar and it had a docking

radar. So, in other words, you had one

that pointed down and one that pointed

to the side. Now, if there's nothing on

the surface of the moon, if there are no

artificial structures, if there are no

spires sticking 10, 20 stories up into

the sky, why would you turn on the side

radar? There's no reason to. But Aldron

did it. And I think it's because he knew

and NASA knew that there was some danger

of running into these things.

>> Is it possible that NASA actually has

knowledge of structures on the moon?

In 1960, NASA officials commissioned a

report from the Brookings Institute to

weigh the implications of the discovery

of evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Due to the findings of the report,

researchers believe it was determined

before the moon missions to keep any

extraterrestrial findings hidden from

the public for fear of social unrest.

Since the time of the very first Apollo

moon missions,

researchers have poured over NASA and

Russian photos of the moon

looking for structures

and they found some unusual things.

You would think in fact that if

extraterrestrials are on the moon or

were that they would have built all

kinds of structures and we're able to

see some of these even though NASA

scientists don't acknowledge them as

genuine.

>> Huntsville, Alabama, July 24th, 1969.

A crowd of thousands gathers in

Courthouse Square to cheer on the

triumphant return of Dr. Verer von

Brawn.

Just hours after Apollo 11's Colombia

command module splashed down in the

Pacific Ocean,

the United States had achieved what many

believed was impossible, putting a man

on the moon.

The picture ran in newspapers around

America the following day celebrating

the genius rocket engineer who [music]

was behind it all.

Von Braun is a titan. You know, he's one

of the major figures of the last century

and he was way ahead of his time.

>> Von Braun adamantly believed that

humanity's future was in space.

He's the greatest voice we've had in the

history of the space program.

Considered

by NASA to [music] be the father of

rocket science, von Braonn is credited

with either inventing or helping to

develop many of the most sophisticated

aerial technologies that exist today

like the supersonic anti-aircraft

missile,

the ballistic missile, the first

American satellite, and the first US

space vehicles, including the enormous

Saturn 5 rocket that enabled man to

reach the moon.

>> Without exaggeration, the Apollo program

has been called the greatest achievement

that mankind has ever accomplished.

Without Vernon Brown, we would not reach

the moon.

To date, the Saturn 5 is the most

powerful rocket that we've ever built.

Von Braun's incredible engineering

[music] feats were matched only by his

all-consuming crusade to send man into

space.

In the 1950s, when space [music] travel

seemed a fantasy, Verer von Braonn

teamed up with Walt Disney [music] to

convince a skeptical public that putting

man on the moon was not only possible,

but that it would happen in their

lifetimes.

In these films [music] watched by an

estimated 42 million people, von Braonn

boldly predicted not only how we would

send men [music] into space, but also

the use of protective suits, lunar

landing vehicles, orbiting space

stations, and even manned trips to Mars.

If we were to start today on an

organized and wellsupported space

program, I believe a practical passenger

rocket could be built and tested within

10 years.

>> But who exactly was [music] this

engineering genius with such

extraordinary visions for the future?

Why did he believe so strongly that man

could and should travel into space?

and what did he expect [music] to find

when we got there?

Verer von Braonn was born [music] March

23rd, 1912 in a small town in Eastern

Prussia.

The second of three sons, Verer grew up

a child of wealth and privilege.

But while he [music] was born into an

accomplished family, Verer's keen

intellect and unusual passions stood

out. His father [music] once said, "I

don't know where his talent comes from."

And stated on more than one occasion

that he considered his son a mystery.

>> Warner Von Braum was multi-talented.

Both sides of his brain were working. He

could think about technical things and

imagine rocketry and space travel, but

he was an accomplished musician.

And these [music] traits manifested very

early. I think his parents knew by the

time he was four or five that he was

very special. His mother gave him a

telescope when he was [music] young and

he looked at the moon and said, "I want

to go there. I want to build the machine

that will go to the moon." And of course

he did [music] half a century later.

>> Tranquility base Houston guidance

recommendation uh is pings and you're

cleared for takeoff.

July 21st, 1969,

approximately [music] 21 12 hours after

landing on the moon, the lunar module

Eagle [music] lifts off to rejoin the

command module Colombia and begin the

return to Earth.

The astronauts take with them 47.5 lb of

lunar surface material. And they leave

some items behind as well, like

scientific instruments, an American

flag, and a [music] small plaque

commemorating the Apollo 11 mission. But

perhaps most curious of the items left

on the moon was a small bag containing a

gold replica of an olive branch and a

silicon disc with recorded messages of

peace and goodwill from 73 world

leaders.

Why were these symbolic messages sent up

into space? Some ancient astronaut

theorists suggest that the mastermind

behind the Apollo program, Verer von

Brawn, was expecting to find more on the

moon than NASA wanted the public to

know.

Veron Brawn famously said that the next

world war will be the war against the

ETS.

His remarks were hugely controversial.

Some people have said that he was simply

saying there can't be another world war

now that we've got atomic weapons. Other

people have speculated that he knew

something and he was hinting at some

[music] terrible truth.

Another story relates that von Braonn

claimed that [music]

we had help from them to get us into

space. If anybody knew about the

extraterrestrials, it would have been a

guy like Warner von Braun.

Some ancient astronaut theorists propose

that not only did alien beings have a

hand in man reaching the moon, but that

once there, we discovered further

evidence that we are not alone. And they

claim the strongest proof can be found

by examining our last man trip to the

moon, the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

history.

>> We definitely weren't told everything

and there's monkey business played with

the moon landings, of course, as far as

what we know about them. You

>> got your hammer.

>> Apollo 17 was in fact a technology

salvaging mission.

>> Yeah, it looks like there's been a

geologist here before us.

>> Some of it has to do with the actual

landing site itself. There were several

mountains in the area that don't really

look like mountains. One of them is very

hexagonal looking and they bear a

striking resemblance to actual

artificial structures.

The astronauts went directly for this

hexagonal mountain. They parked on the

hill above it and then they got out of

the lunar rover. What's interesting is

that for the next 20 or 30 minutes, NASA

has control of the camera on the rover

and they point it at everything except

what the astronauts are doing.

>> They had plenty of time to repel down

inside of this V-shaped depression.

>> Okay, let's go on back.

>> It's really interesting that we don't

see any of the astronauts at all until

they come back to the lunar rover. Here

we go.

>> There's no question that the mystery

would be what they were looking for,

what they found. Could it possibly have

been ancient alien technology?

>> Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that

even more compelling than the hexagonal

formation is what appears at another

spot that was filmed,

the Shorty Crater.

>> There is orange soil. Well, don't move

it till I see it.

It's all over.

orange.

>> In Shorty Crater, you can see orange

soil that was discovered at the landing

site. And [music] the reason soil was

orange was because it had a great deal

of oxygen in it, which was kind of a

surprise.

But the biggest surprise is if you

actually looked in the crater, what you

see are objects that at first might to

the naked eye appear to be rocks,

but in fact, as you study it with an

engineer's eye, what you see is

mechanisms.

And right in the middle of it, there's a

very interesting object that as you zoom

up on it, it begins to look more [music]

and more like a human head.

>> Mike Barah and fellow researcher Richard

Hogland obtained early generation

negatives from Shorty Crater and upon

enhancing the colors present in the film

found that the object appears metallic.

The most intriguing thing is that on the

upper part of the mouth, there was a

bright distinct red stripe painted

across it and it glowed and shown as if

it were metallic. You then come to the

realization that what you're probably

looking at is the head of a humanoid

appearing robot. The leftovers of an

explosion that damaged and destroyed a

bunch of mechanical stuff.

Reaching the moon was such an

unbelievable feat that even to this day,

many people are convinced the entire

event was actually staged in a Hollywood

studio.

But ancient astronaut theorists suggest

not only did we land on the moon, but

what we found there was more incredible

than we know. During the 1969 Apollo

moon mission after the landing, there

was a very strange twominute gap in

radio transmissions. And what happened

during those two minutes has been

subject to a lot of controversy.

>> Male, this is Houston. Radio check over.

Columbia, this is Houston over.

>> According to scientist and NASA

researcher Otto Bender, various ham

radio operators were able to intercept

secret communications with mission

control that were not made public.

The astronauts apparently talked about

seeing extraterrestrial objects on the

moon, including flying saucers parked

along the edge of a crater within their

view.

Now, the truth of it is is that each of

the astronauts had a separate medical

channel. that channel was not public and

it could have been very easily used to

communicate information that you didn't

want to be heard over the general public

transmissions.

What's really interesting about that

story though is the fact that within 30

minutes of the landing on the moon, that

story was circulating around NASA that

hey, guess what? They saw something on

the G River Crater. They were all upset.

They didn't know what to do. They didn't

know if they should go out.

It is interesting when you watch the

[music] feed of when they came back

[clears throat] from the moon and

they're not sitting there jumping up and

down for joy and saying, "I had the most

incredible experience in my life. I was

on the moon." They're not saying that.

They look very sullen, very depressed.

They're looking down. They almost look

like they want to vomit. That's how

disturbed they look.

Could they have seen something there

that they didn't want to tell the public

because of the implications?

I believe that u

what this country set out to do was

something that [music] was going to be

done sooner or later.

We find for the first time that that man

has the the flexibility or the option of

either walking this planet or some other

planet.

It's [music] a beginning of

a new age.

>> After Apollo 11, NASA would send six

more manned missions to the moon,

culminating with Apollo 17 in 1972.

One of the most interesting questions

with regard to our interaction with the

moon is why we have never gone back

there again since the Apollo missions.

And what else is very telling is that

although the USSR at the time was

getting to be quite able to send [music]

its own astronauts to the moon, it never

seems to have done so. Could it be that

there were agencies associated with the

moon, aliens or other beings who had

warned humanity to stay away for some

reason?

Cusco, Peru.

Nestled in a high river valley of the

Andes Mountains among peaks towering

over 20,000 ft, this once great city

served as the capital of the Inca Empire

from the 13th to 16th centuries AD.

In 1533,

Spanish concistadors [music]

arrived in Cusco and were astonished by

the incredible stonework found at a site

just north of the city called Siwan.

Above the city of Cusco, we find the

megalithic site and huge ceremonial Inca

complex called Saki Wan.

Its most prominent feature is a zigzag

wall of three levels. Some of the stones

there weigh as much as 125 tons and were

moved from the quarry at least 3 miles

away. Sakaan is one of the most

beautiful ancient structures you will

ever see in your life. There are massive

gigantic megalithic blocks and you find

the most amazing of masonry style where

you can't even fit a dollar bill in

between the fittings of any of the

blocks.

Sai woman served both as a fortress and

a ceremonial center.

A circular structure that lies within

the megalithic walls called Mayuk Mara

was the base of a tower where the Inca

worshiped the sun god Ini.

However, many experts suggest that while

the Inca certainly utilized this

megalithic structure, they were not the

ones to build it.

Standard belief is that the Inca

constructed Sax Wan less than a thousand

years ago.

But some of the earliest Spanish

chronicles, it is [music] said that the

Spanish were completely astounded by

seeing this site and they asked the

local Inca, did you build it? And the

Inca replied, "No, this was here when we

arrived 500 years ago."

Many experts believe Socks woman

predates the Inca by thousands of years

and that the Inca built on top of what

came before.

The Inca were a bronze age civilization

and the stones at Sakiwaman

are metamorphosed limestone which is

much harder than bronze and could not be

cut or shaped using bronze tools.

Inca built on top because you can tell a

major difference between megalithic

construction where the stones fit

perfectly together and the Inca which is

stones piled on top of stones with

mortar as filler.

But if siwoman really does predate the

Inca as the Inca themselves claimed,

how could an even earlier civilization

have possessed [music]

far superior technology?

The ancient Inca talk about celestial

beings who descended from the sky a long

time ago and imparted the first

knowledge of anything toward people of

Earth. The ancient astronaut theory

suggests it [music] was human beings who

built Sakahuan but under the tutilage of

the extraterrestrials.

thieves Egypt

1290 BC

the elderly king Ramsy's [music] I

passes away after a reign of just 16

months and his son Si is announced as

[music] the new pharaoh

Egypt is in a period of chaos and

Pharaohi believes the only way to save

it is to restore the [music] power of

the old gods

>> Pherosetti is one of the most important

characters in Egyptian history and

[music] one of Sadi's most important

objectives as Pharaoh was to bring back

the old gods to bring back the power of

the old gods the understanding of the

importance of [music] Osiris.

>> One of the things that he does is part

of that restoration of the old ways to

the multiple gods [music]

is go to Abidos

builds the temple up there with lots of

different side [music] temples that are

there to worship these different gods

and goddesses.

In Abidos, Si built one of the most

magnificent temples in all of Egypt

containing seven chapels dedicated to

different gods.

But wheni arrived in Abidos [music] in

1951,

the great temple she claimed to have

known in her past life was all but gone.

There was around 2,500 [music]

pieces of the temple scattered

everywhere. and Gazuli and others had no

idea how to fit these pieces [music]

back together. But Metti, maintaining

that she had this past life memory,

could tell them, "Oh, this piece would

go here. [music] This piece would go

there. I remember it looking like this."

This was an incredibly daunting task,

but she started each day with unbridled

passion and enthusiasm, and Abidos was

reconstructed. According to Meti's

instructions,

>> she solves the amazing jigsaw puzzle of

putting together these 2500 pieces and

restoring the temple of Abbidos in 2 and

1/2 years, which is absolutely

impossible without her extraordinary

understanding of the temple. It would

have taken 20 years for anybody else to

do the work that she did in 2 and 1/2

years. According

to Metti, restoring the temple at Abidos

was about much more than just

resurrecting the past.

To her closest friends, she confided

[music] that this ancient structure

served an extraordinary purpose.

Sadi would actually state that the

temple of Abidos served as a stargate of

sorts, a place where you were able to

jump in and out of time in space.

a stargate.

Could the temple of Abidos have acted as

a portal [music] to other points in the

universe?

According to ancient astronaut

theorists, a feature inside the temple

[music] supports this sensational claim.

They point to a bell-shaped object

painted on a chapel wall that some refer

to as the Osiris device. When we look at

this [music] symbol through modern eyes,

it's highly technological to the eyes of

a physicist or an engineer. It looks

like a Tesla coil. [music] And you

wonder, what could an image that

resembles a Tesla coil be doing on the

walls of a temple that's 3,500 years

old? The Tesla coil was designed in the

late 1800s by inventor Nicola Tesla

[music]

as a way to wirelessly transmit

electricity.

But ancient astronaut theorists suggest

there is a far more advanced technology

[music]

depicted on the opposite wall of the

chapel.

On the opposite wall, we see the same

device, but now it's attached to what is

called the nett barge of Osiris, his

resurrection barge. And what's so

amazing about this barge is that its

shape is virtually identical to the way

modern science portrays a wormhole or an

Einstein Rosen Bridge.

The power of Abidos is something that

we're still only beginning to

understand. It's such a profoundly

mysterious place.

>> 400 miles south of El Paso, Texas.

In northern Mexico stretches a remote

and rugged section of high desert.

This area near the town of Sabios is

referred to by the locals as the Zona

delsencio or the zone of silence.

It's an epicenter for some of the

strangest phenomena ever experienced on

Earth.

Nothing works there. If you go there

with your cell phone, the cell phone

stops. If you go with a radio, it stops.

If you go there with a compass, the

needle just keeps spinning.

>> It's completely bizarre. There's strange

rocks everywhere. You have strange

mutated animals uh living in the desert

in this area. You feel a strange

tingling when you're there.

The zone of silence was first identified

in the 1930s by Francisco Sarabia, a

Mexican [music] pilot who claimed that

his radio had mysteriously failed to

function while flying over the area.

>> They call it Mexico's [music] Bermuda

Triangle. It's located practically on

the same peril, 28th and 26th [music]

peril. And as a result of that, it goes

and connects with the Egyptian pyramids.

So all around that whole sector, there

seems to be some connection between the

anomalies that occurring through these

different parts of the world.

>> As a scientist, [music] you're trained

to be skeptical or maybe you were born

that way, but we really don't believe

anything. You know, nothing is proven

until you actually have evidence. But

[music] I can say that Earth's magnetic

field does vary across the surface by up

to a few%.

One of the strangest cases involving the

zone of silence took place on July 11th,

1970

when the US Air Force launched an Athena

missile

from its military facility in Green

River, Utah.

The missile was programmed to land 700 m

away at the White Sands Missile Range in

New Mexico.

But for some unexplained reason, the

Athena missile flew hundreds of miles

past the White Sands range towards the

zone of silence.

Not only did it go off course, it way

overshot as if it had been picked up or

yanked or dragged or pulled into it.

There was a NASA spokesman who even said

it was weird. It was like the the thing

just got pulled into this area and it

ended up crashing there and breaking up

into bits.

>> But some claim [music] this missile is

not the only thing that's been

mysteriously pulled into the zone of

silence. Ancient alien theorists believe

an unusually large number of meteorites

have crashed here.

The evidence seems to be indicating that

the zone of silence is some powerful

energy vortex area that's literally

sucking meteorites and other space

debris right into this small area of

northern Mexico.

There's a high level of magnetism in the

area that's been proven by science. We

know there's a magnetic signature

[music]

uh to the entire area. Is it strong

enough to attract uh large objects like

meteorites? I think we need more

research, but I I I don't think that

research is being done right now.

Starting 3,000 years ago,

the Anastasi culture inhabited the

region to the north in today's [music]

American Southwest.

Anazi means ancient ones,

and they paid great attention to the

stars.

Scientists have determined that in 1054

AD, a supernova explosion was visible

from Earth.

Many believe the first known drawing of

this event was found inside an Anastasia

cave dwelling

south of the zone of silence.

Other cultures, including the Maya, also

reportedly possessed a surprisingly

detailed knowledge of similar celestial

events.

Is it possible that both of these

cultures were somehow exchanging

information?

They're separated by thousands of miles,

but both the Anastasia of the north and

the Mesoamericans of the south found the

zone of silence and used it as a meeting

place between their two cultures.

You can imagine if you studied the stars

at night and plotted the constellations,

obviously one of the things you're going

to [music] see are these meteorites

streaking across the sky. If your

answers come from the sky, you probably

would follow those streaking meteorites

and find out where they ended up.

And the theory is [music] that they may

have found what they were looking for in

the zone of silence.

In the United States, there are over

6,000 UFO sightings [music] reported

every year, more than any other country

in the world.

But why is there an explanation for such

a high number of UFO sightings? Could

aliens have a special interest in

America?

According

to ancient astronaut theorists, not only

are aliens watching over North America

today, but in fact, they have been

visiting us for hundreds and possibly

even thousands of years.

And they claim the evidence [music] can

be found in the strange sites,

structures, and monuments that [music]

lie in every corner of the continent.

America

is really a very mysterious place with

all kinds of strange legends.

So trying to put all of these things

together in context shows us that we're

living in a a very unusual continent

full of magic and mystery.

>> Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio.

The KAS at Choco Canyon, New Mexico.

Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming.

Many Native American tribes say that at

these ancient sites and countless

others,

entities that they call star [music]

beings came down from the sky to teach

their ancestors.

To the Zouri people and other tribes,

there's a spiritual connection [music]

with the star beings.

They're the ones that actually rule the

the universe or the world that we're on.

If you look at the petroglyphs, there's

a lot of references to those type of

entities.

According to tribes like the Zouri and

Hopi, stories of these other worldly

visitations exist not only in the oral

traditions passed down from their

ancestors, but also in petroglyphs

carved into [music] rock all across

America.

On the Zouri Pueblo in New Mexico, there

are literally thousands of [music]

ancient carvings that most outsiders

have never laid eyes on. And the Zouri

claim that some of these petroglyphs

depict visitations from star beings.

There is definitely evidence that aliens

visited North America in a distant past

and there are petetroglyphs throughout

this part of the country carved by

ancient Americans that depict just that.

>> What can you tell me about this

petetroglyph right here?

>> Well, you know, if you can see on top of

it where maybe a head would be, it's

kind of eroded off,

>> but on the next part of it, there's four

compartments look like extension or

something sticking out.

>> Yeah. almost like legs.

>> It could be something that that they saw

in the air.

>> Mhm.

[music]

>> Isn't there a legend that beings visited

on top of this mountain?

>> Oh, yes. Uh on all of the meases

in conjunction with [music] all the

stories of star people descending from

the sky in fiery shields and things like

this. When I see a pattern like that, I

always think, [music] what if this is

something that they saw and then they

carved onto a rock?

And a lot of these are sacred drawings.

They're just not graffiti like a lot of

people say they are.

>> No, never.

>> There's no such thing as that in those

days.

>> Look at that triangle up there.

>> And you've got the dots around it that

have been carved into the rock. They

remind me like stars.

Could the ancient people in this part of

America really have been trying [music]

to depict encounters with alien

spacecraft?

There are legends and myths all around

the world that can be interpreted as

having been visits by extraterrestrials.

And many think that such stories don't

exist here in the United States. But the

fact is that there are things in this

country that nobody's even dreamed of.

According to ancient astronaut

theorists, there is evidence that other

[music] worldly beings were not only

witnessed by Native Americans, but also

by the European [music] colonists.

And curiously, one of the earliest UFO

sightings reported in the colonies

[music]

occurred in an area that the local

Wapanoak Nation claimed was a point of

contact with star beings.

The Hakamok Swamp, southeastern [music]

Massachusetts,

located 25 mi south of Boston [music]

in and around the suburban town of

Bridgewater. This vast wetland is

infamous for being the heart of the

Bridgewater [music]

Triangle.

According to Native American legends,

this 200 square mile region [music] has

been a hotbed of UFO sightings dating

back to before Columbus arrived in the

new world.

Within the Bridgewater Triangle, a huge

amount of interesting paranormal

activity has been reported, including

very high numbers of UFO sightings.

Some people speculate that maybe it's

the presence of the Hakamok swamp. The

very name Hakamok means place where evil

spirits dwell. European colonists

settled this area in the 17th century.

But the stories of paranormal activity

here go back long before that time.

Time and time again, we see stories

about beings that live in the sky,

flying canoes, what are apparently

spaceships that land,

people that get out and interact with

the Native Americans.

On May 10th, 1760,

in the same area where Native Americans

say star beings interacted with humans,

European colonists reported seeing

mysterious lights in the sky.

The account appeared in a publication

that was read throughout the

English-speaking world called The

Gentleman's Magazine. According to

historical records, at 10:00 a.m. a

sphere of fire appeared that emitted a

light bright enough to cast a shadow in

bright sunlight. And this object was

reported to be seen not only in

Bridgewater, but also in Roxberry over

30 mi away. Now, that's interesting to

me because the [music] fact that people

in two different cities reported seeing

the same thing at the same time to me

says that they really saw something.

It was seen by [music] a huge number of

people. And one observer remarked that

the sound that this giant uh ball of

light made

was heard more in the middle of its

travel than at the beginning, which I

think is [music] a very interesting

detail that does correlate to some

extent with more modern UFO reports. The

Bridgewater sighting of 1760 is just one

of many incredible events that took

place in colonial America. It was

mysterious. It was the frontier.

Something was up there in the sky way

before any [music] powered flight had

been invented by modern humanity.
