Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,910 --> 00:00:04,990
They transform their appearance right
before our eyes.
2
00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:09,990
They're able to go from being totally
human -looking to dangerous beasts that
3
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:11,270
can tear people to pieces.
4
00:00:12,290 --> 00:00:16,410
They can turn into bats or sudden mists
and disappear.
5
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:24,930
Their most terrifying form is they can
steal the face of a loved one and lure
6
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:25,930
you to your doom.
7
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:30,310
Accounts of creatures able to morph from
one form into another.
8
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:34,450
can be found all over the world and
throughout history.
9
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:40,690
We have to ask the question, what is the
core of truth behind those legends?
10
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:45,430
When you look at all the different
legends, we have a very strong
11
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:49,210
between shapeshifters and
extraterrestrials.
12
00:00:49,630 --> 00:00:50,710
Is it possible?
13
00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:55,990
that Earth has been infiltrated by shape
-shifting beings from another planet.
14
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:59,950
What if there are millions of
extraterrestrials that are walking
15
00:00:59,950 --> 00:01:02,090
suddenly they reveal their true
appearance?
16
00:01:04,629 --> 00:01:07,750
There is a doorway in the universe.
17
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:12,290
Beyond it is the promise of truth.
18
00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:18,070
It demands we question everything we
have ever been taught.
19
00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:19,810
The evidence?
20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,660
is all around us.
21
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:25,800
The future is right before our eyes.
22
00:01:26,140 --> 00:01:28,500
We are not alone.
23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,720
We have never been alone.
24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,080
The Apache Sitgraves National Forest,
Arizona.
25
00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:48,520
November 5th, 1975.
26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,120
22 -year -old forestry worker Travis
Walton is driving home after sundown
27
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,300
group of coworkers when suddenly a
strange light appears in the sky.
28
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,820
I noticed some little glimmers of light
coming through the trees, and the light
29
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:10,520
seemed to be coming from higher than
where ground level would be.
30
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,320
It was only when we got to where this
light was crossing the road that we had
31
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,080
unobstructed view of the craft.
32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,320
visible, clearly defined metallic
object, a disc, hovering there, outlined
33
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,320
against the sky.
34
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:32,960
So I threw open the door, thinking I'd
get a closer look before it took off.
35
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:38,600
As I got closer to it, the sound it was
making, it was a sound you both heard
36
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
and felt.
37
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,700
And the crew said they could feel the
vibration in the truck.
38
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:47,860
They said it seemed like something was
about to happen.
39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,300
And it was.
40
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,980
That's when this energy hit me.
41
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:03,180
The crew said that it was like I'd
stepped on a landmine, like an explosion
42
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:08,560
so violent that they thought it had
killed me.
43
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,000
When this beam of energy hit me, I felt
like a physical blow, but with a sort of
44
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,820
a tangling, sort of an electric shock
sort of feeling at the same time.
45
00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:28,350
I don't know whether I came too soon
after I was taken aboard, but I knew I
46
00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:31,050
on some kind of an elevated gurney or
operating table.
47
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:36,910
I was looking straight into the face of
this creature, and I just flipped out.
48
00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:45,550
He sees these gray extraterrestrials
around him, and he panics, and he begins
49
00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:46,730
struggle very violently.
50
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,420
And so those grey extraterrestrials
leave that room.
51
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,440
And then shortly afterwards, you have
two human -looking extraterrestrials
52
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,440
walking in.
53
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:04,780
In the case of these human -looking
ones, I started to have serious
54
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:10,300
that this was a rescue. And that's when
they put this mask over my face, and I
55
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,700
just blacked out real quickly.
56
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:18,709
The suspicion here was that actually
these weren't different aliens. These
57
00:04:18,709 --> 00:04:24,230
the same aliens, but they were capable
of shape -shifting into something else
58
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:27,010
specifically to calm him down.
59
00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:32,730
Travis Walton's story has become one of
the most famous alien abduction cases
60
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:37,590
ever reported and was even adapted into
a movie in 1993.
61
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:40,430
But if true...
62
00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:44,960
Was he abducted by beings that are able
to shapeshift and mimic humans?
63
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,460
While Travis Walton's account is
extraordinary, it is not entirely
64
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,360
There are many stories of these
abductees who see these non -human
65
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,620
extraterrestrials, these grey, who then
are replaced by beings that look human.
66
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,900
And this seems to be extraterrestrials
using this shapeshifting ability to make
67
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:08,380
it look as though...
68
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:10,540
Human extraterrestrials are there.
69
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:18,380
In 2013, public policy polling released
data that showed 12 million Americans
70
00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:21,420
believe that shape -shifting beings live
amongst us.
71
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:27,820
One of the most intriguing conspiracies
today is that of the shape -shifting
72
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:33,180
aliens. The idea that perhaps there is a
class of entities on our world today
73
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:37,040
that is able to represent itself as
humans at will.
74
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:42,560
these extraterrestrials that are hidden
from the rest of the normal human
75
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,880
society around them.
76
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,220
There is a theory that there are aliens
among us, aliens in human form, that
77
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:58,320
there's an advanced guard, a fifth
column, call it what you like, but the
78
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,520
that perhaps as a prelude to a full
-scale alien invasion, they infiltrate.
79
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:09,940
They get their people into positions of
power, and one could be walking right
80
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:13,980
past you and you wouldn't know. People
think of disclosure as being the
81
00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:18,860
archetypal landing on the White House
lawn, spaceships in the sky.
82
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,760
What if it's actually not that? What if
aliens are already here?
83
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,820
While the notion that shape -shifting
extraterrestrials are living among the
84
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:35,070
human race may sound like something
ripped from a science fiction movie,
85
00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:39,350
concept was actually prevalent among
people living thousands of years ago.
86
00:06:40,450 --> 00:06:46,190
In ancient times, nearly every culture
across the globe described their gods as
87
00:06:46,190 --> 00:06:51,670
not only descending from the sky, but
also having the ability to transform
88
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:52,670
appearance.
89
00:06:54,310 --> 00:06:59,490
Shapeshifting has shown up throughout
history in shamanic lore, in the great
90
00:06:59,490 --> 00:07:01,570
religions, the Olympians in Greece.
91
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,180
The Hindu gods would change shape. The
Egyptian gods.
92
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,100
There's something about this idea that
particularly the gods can change you to
93
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,420
another person or become an animal.
94
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,320
These stories are not just here to
entertain us. They are here to make
95
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
our relationship to the world and to the
gods.
96
00:07:24,810 --> 00:07:30,270
And that is not a world that we have a
lot of control over. And that ultimately
97
00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:34,630
is a terrifying thing. Because when they
come down to our world, in whatever
98
00:07:34,630 --> 00:07:39,510
shape they take, we are subject to the
whims of the God.
99
00:07:40,850 --> 00:07:45,850
Are tales of shape -shifting beings a
mere manifestation of a deep -seated
100
00:07:45,850 --> 00:07:48,430
that we are not in control of our own
reality?
101
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:55,120
Curiously, a common element found in
many of these ancient stories, is that
102
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,020
reason the gods changed shape was so
that they could navigate the human world
103
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:00,020
undetected.
104
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,420
In order to traffic in the human world,
the gods have to take on a human shape
105
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:09,080
or something that exists in the human
world.
106
00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:15,240
Zeus, in particular, wants to have
sexual relations with
107
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160
human beings, with women.
108
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,340
Zeus takes the form of a bull, an
especially beautiful bull.
109
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:29,270
which attracts the interest of Europa,
who was a Phoenician princess.
110
00:08:29,730 --> 00:08:33,890
In the Greek story, Europa climbs aboard
this bull together.
111
00:08:35,179 --> 00:08:40,299
cross over the Mediterranean to the
island of Crete. Zeus shapeshifts back
112
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,240
himself as Zeus, the god, impregnates
Europa.
113
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,180
So this is Zeus using shapeshifting as a
way to attract a human female and
114
00:08:49,180 --> 00:08:52,920
ultimately to create a new island
civilization in Crete.
115
00:08:53,380 --> 00:08:59,500
Zeus changes himself into a bull,
changes himself into an eagle, changes
116
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:04,140
into a golden rain shower for practical
reasons.
117
00:09:05,050 --> 00:09:09,410
The gods need to disguise themselves
because if they show up in the human
118
00:09:09,410 --> 00:09:13,210
undisguised, then it'll wreak havoc.
119
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:18,770
And the limitation of our imagination is
that they sort of look like us. They
120
00:09:18,770 --> 00:09:24,530
may not. We don't really know. They have
to take a shape that our puny mortal
121
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:26,490
minds are capable of comprehending.
122
00:09:27,550 --> 00:09:30,230
Throughout history, we have these
stories.
123
00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:34,550
of ancient gods being able to
shapeshift.
124
00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:40,950
So you have to ask the question, what is
the core of truth behind those legends?
125
00:09:41,890 --> 00:09:46,890
Could there be some significance to the
fact that in story after story, coming
126
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:51,770
from all parts of the world, gods are
said to change shape to interact with
127
00:09:51,770 --> 00:09:52,770
humans?
128
00:09:53,570 --> 00:09:57,930
Is it possible that at some point, the
ancient people actually witnessed
129
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:00,010
extraterrestrials changing shape?
130
00:10:00,910 --> 00:10:06,010
We have many stories in the past,
legends and myths of shape -shifting
131
00:10:06,930 --> 00:10:12,290
The Greeks have many stories of this.
The Hindus, Sumerians, all over the
132
00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:13,370
we have these stories.
133
00:10:13,630 --> 00:10:18,430
And you have to wonder if it might have
something to do with shape -shifting
134
00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:24,610
extraterrestrials. The ancient astronaut
theory tries to decipher misunderstood
135
00:10:24,610 --> 00:10:28,370
technology in mythological stories.
136
00:10:30,910 --> 00:10:37,750
idea of shape -shifting is rooted
solidly in the concept of
137
00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:39,730
misunderstood technology.
138
00:10:40,830 --> 00:10:46,650
Actual flesh and blood extraterrestrials
were able to change their appearance
139
00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:48,290
with technology.
140
00:10:49,010 --> 00:10:55,270
Perhaps they had an invisibility cloak,
or they had a cloak with which they
141
00:10:55,270 --> 00:10:57,910
could change themselves into whatever
they wanted.
142
00:10:58,490 --> 00:11:03,050
This was witnessed by the people, and
this is how these stories came into
143
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:04,050
existence.
144
00:11:04,390 --> 00:11:10,070
If extraterrestrials inspired the
ancient stories of shape -shifting gods,
145
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:16,110
ancient astronaut theorists suggest,
were they here only in the distant past,
146
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:18,870
have they remained with us for thousands
of years?
147
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:23,550
And what could be their reason for
hiding among humans?
148
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:32,230
Sulawesi, Indonesia, 1998.
149
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:40,630
Here, hidden along the ocean floor,
researchers discover a new and unusual
150
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:43,030
creature, the mimic octopus.
151
00:11:43,850 --> 00:11:49,350
This highly intelligent cephalopod is
capable of not only instantly changing
152
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:54,570
color and skin texture, but it can also
transform its body to take on the form
153
00:11:54,570 --> 00:11:55,850
of many other creatures.
154
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,020
The mimic octopus is remarkable.
155
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:04,000
It's been known to mimic flounder, which
are like flatfish, live on the bottom
156
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
of the ocean.
157
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,340
Sea snakes with the striping.
158
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:12,960
And then also lionfish, remarkably,
which have all these like feathery
159
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,520
appendages. It's been documented to
essentially impersonate at least 15
160
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,520
different marine species.
161
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,560
With three hearts, nine brains.
162
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,580
and roughly double the number of genes
of a human.
163
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:30,780
Some scientists have speculated that the
octopus may well be from another
164
00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:31,780
planet.
165
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:40,600
In 2018, a group of 33 scientists
proclaimed in a peer -reviewed paper
166
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,480
octopus actually has alien DNA and might
have originated elsewhere.
167
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,700
Now, when we think about that, you have
to think, well, what might
168
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:53,660
extraterrestrials actually be like?
Could they be like the octopus?
169
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:56,200
Could they in fact be shapeshifters?
170
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,960
We automatically assume that
extraterrestrials might be humanoid,
171
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,960
might look like us.
172
00:13:02,020 --> 00:13:05,600
But the fact of the matter is that they
could in fact be shapeshifters, able to
173
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,560
change their form into anything they
want to be.
174
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,760
If the octopus is not indigenous to
Earth, could that point to the
175
00:13:14,430 --> 00:13:18,470
that intelligent alien beings have also
arrived here that have the biological
176
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:20,190
ability to shapeshift.
177
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:28,070
The evolution of things like crypsis or
the ability to camouflage oneself on
178
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:32,110
Earth, we know the selective pressure
for that is primarily sort of predator
179
00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:33,110
-prey relationships.
180
00:13:34,370 --> 00:13:39,090
Crypsis is basically a trait to escape
detection by a predator if you're an
181
00:13:39,090 --> 00:13:40,090
animal that gets eaten.
182
00:13:40,510 --> 00:13:44,150
or to escape detection by your prey if
you happen to be a predator.
183
00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:50,290
I think selective pressure can certainly
drive the evolution of crypsis on other
184
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:51,290
planets as well.
185
00:13:52,170 --> 00:13:58,330
Given that shape -shifting has a clear
evolutionary benefit, it's certainly
186
00:13:58,330 --> 00:13:59,990
possible that this...
187
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:04,340
Capability evolves not just here on
Earth, but elsewhere in the universe.
188
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,820
It's perfectly possible there's other
life out there, including intelligent
189
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:13,900
life, civilizations that have the
capability to shape shift.
190
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:21,180
We have to wonder if this technology is
something that they just naturally have
191
00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:24,400
as part of their biological DNA.
192
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:29,890
Or are they using some technology that's
doing this for them?
193
00:14:30,830 --> 00:14:34,330
So it could be either and even a
combination of both.
194
00:14:35,270 --> 00:14:40,710
In the animal kingdom, the ability to
shapeshift has evolved to conceal both
195
00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:42,210
hunter and the hunted.
196
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:48,030
But if shapeshifting extraterrestrials
truly are hiding among us, did they
197
00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:50,050
evolve as prey or predators?
198
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Karachi, Pakistan, 2016.
199
00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:06,100
A 25 -year -old mother of three is taken
to a local physician after displaying
200
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:07,940
increasingly bizarre behavior.
201
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:14,780
She speaks in gibberish and complains of
being plagued by disturbing visions and
202
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:15,780
strange voices.
203
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:22,220
Her family claims she is possessed by
supernatural beings known as the djinn.
204
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:27,610
Jinn is an Arabic term that means to
hide, to conceal.
205
00:15:28,190 --> 00:15:32,390
The Quran says that they are created of
fire without smoke.
206
00:15:34,270 --> 00:15:35,350
Smokeless fire.
207
00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:39,810
It talks about the jinn being able to
take animal form.
208
00:15:40,650 --> 00:15:44,690
It talks about the jinn being able to
take the form of natural phenomena, the
209
00:15:44,690 --> 00:15:46,310
wind, for example.
210
00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:51,890
And so you will have people to this day
in the Muslim world who will say that
211
00:15:51,890 --> 00:15:53,230
this person is possessed by jinn.
212
00:15:53,610 --> 00:15:57,510
that they're not physically ill, they're
not mentally ill.
213
00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:03,910
The jinn were allegedly created before
humankind by God.
214
00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:11,070
They can take any shape to beguile you
and to tempt you, because
215
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:15,850
part of their role is to test humanity.
216
00:16:20,570 --> 00:16:24,730
are reported frequently in certain parts
of the world, and millions of people
217
00:16:24,730 --> 00:16:26,570
continue to believe in their existence.
218
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:32,410
Similar shape -shifting beings can also
be found in other ancient traditions,
219
00:16:32,690 --> 00:16:37,550
and are so common that modern
mythologists have grouped them into a
220
00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:39,070
called trickster gods.
221
00:16:40,930 --> 00:16:44,250
The trickster is the god of transitions,
of change.
222
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,500
They're not always fun to encounter
because they pull the rug out from under
223
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,340
They're in charge of mischief and
mayhem.
224
00:16:54,220 --> 00:16:59,320
In the North tradition, we have the
trickster character known as Loki. Loki
225
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,940
shapeshifter. In some stories, he's a
salmon, sometimes a fly.
226
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,520
According to Hindu mythology,
227
00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:09,099
Dhanavas are demons.
228
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:14,140
So they have special power to change
shape.
229
00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:21,560
to delude others, to confuse others, to
appear in any form they
230
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,359
wish. We find this in the Celtic fairy
lore as well, where the fairies are able
231
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,359
to shapeshift.
232
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,660
But in their deepest and darkest sense,
they're seeking to extract something
233
00:17:31,660 --> 00:17:32,660
from humanity.
234
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,680
Some of these encounters that we hear
about with shapeshifting beings may be
235
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,040
extraterrestrials. There's some good
examples of this with the so -called
236
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,960
There's one incident where a large owl
was seen that was about three foot high.
237
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:52,600
And the witness just thought, this could
not add up. And then suddenly it just
238
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,020
changed back into a grey.
239
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,240
Very strange.
240
00:17:56,860 --> 00:18:00,180
Deception runs through this whole
phenomenon.
241
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:06,940
The idea that the extraterrestrials are
deceiving, seducing, tricking people. We
242
00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:07,940
see it in mythology.
243
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:10,840
We see it in close encounters.
244
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:17,880
Is it possible that accounts of shape
-shifting beings, both in the remote
245
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:24,300
and in modern times, are not the product
of overactive imaginations, but actual
246
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:26,620
encounters with extraterrestrials?
247
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,260
But if so, do they have a sinister
agenda?
248
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,480
Perhaps further clues can be found by
examining stories not of gods.
249
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:40,660
but of monsters.
250
00:18:47,980 --> 00:18:54,640
This picturesque Transylvanian town is
the birthplace
251
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:01,020
of Vlad Zepes, otherwise known as Vlad
the Impaler or Vlad Dracula.
252
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,600
This infamous Romanian prince was known
to drink the blood of his enemies.
253
00:19:07,310 --> 00:19:12,370
and inspired the title of Bram Stoker's
1897 vampire novel, Dracula.
254
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:21,170
In 2014, a tourist visiting a local
church came across a painting so strange
255
00:19:21,170 --> 00:19:25,930
that she sent a photo of it to the
Israeli Extraterrestrials and UFOs
256
00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:26,930
Organization.
257
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:32,290
In the hometown of Vlad the Impaler,
upon whom the story of Dracula the
258
00:19:32,290 --> 00:19:35,870
is based, we find the Church of the
Dominican Monastery.
259
00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:42,760
And in this church is a 700 -year -old
painting that clearly portrays what most
260
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:48,060
would identify as a circular craft, a
UFO hovering over a building that is
261
00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:49,100
thought to be the church.
262
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:56,020
We have this very strange jelly -mold
-shaped saucer hovering over the
263
00:19:56,020 --> 00:20:01,300
home of the great figure that really has
given rise to the idea of...
264
00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:03,160
Dracula, the vampire.
265
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,780
Now, is there a link here in some way
with this vampire legend and
266
00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:13,580
extraterrestrials? Is it possible that a
700 -year -old painting in a church in
267
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:18,120
Transylvania provides a connection
between vampires and aliens?
268
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:23,360
Could it be that the stories of these
shape -shifting entities that are sent
269
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:28,740
morph from human form into bats, wolves,
and other creatures are based on real
270
00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:29,740
encounters?
271
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,360
While Bram Stoker's Dracula is a work of
fiction, it is inspired by historical
272
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:41,460
events. In the classic vampire story
from Bram Stoker's Dracula of the late
273
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:45,120
century, he did do some research into
the Romanian traditions.
274
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:50,360
As I say, they're very complicated and
they tend to differ village from village
275
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:57,120
even. So were there ever such things,
paranormally speaking, as vampires? For
276
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:58,120
a time...
277
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,860
15th, 16th, 17th, into the 18th century
in certain parts of the world, vampires
278
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:05,860
did exist.
279
00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:11,180
Gliwice, Poland.
280
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,920
2013.
281
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,120
During the construction of a roadway
just outside this small town, a shocking
282
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,220
discovery is made.
283
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,820
Workers unearth a burial ground.
284
00:21:28,190 --> 00:21:30,890
that provides a gruesome window into the
past.
285
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:36,070
It contains four skeletons, all
decapitated.
286
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:41,970
Recently in Poland, some graves were
found that had unusual characteristics.
287
00:21:43,010 --> 00:21:47,510
The remains had the heads removed and
placed on the legs.
288
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:51,490
This was evidence of a ritual execution.
289
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:56,090
Some theorists think these might have
been suspected vampires.
290
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,680
Archaeologists estimate these burials
date back to the 16th century.
291
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:08,160
And according to the traditions that
existed in Poland at that time, keeping
292
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,560
head separated from the body would
prevent the undead from coming back to
293
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Similar vampire graves have been found
throughout Europe.
294
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:22,640
Some even containing bodies with stakes
driven through the heart.
295
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,400
When we think about vampires, we think
of Bram Stoker's Dracula, or indeed
296
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,860
Hollywood portrayals of vampires.
297
00:22:33,620 --> 00:22:38,740
But for the peoples of Europe,
particularly in Eastern Europe, the idea
298
00:22:38,740 --> 00:22:45,020
vampires was a very frightening and very
real supernatural phenomena, which was
299
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:50,700
something that they had to guard
themselves against, because the vampires
300
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:56,440
shapeshifters. And the most frightening
thing about these was that they had to
301
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:02,580
sustain their existence by drinking the
blood of animals or human beings.
302
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,740
While the modern concept of the vampire
was informed by European folklore,
303
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,520
similar shape -shifting beings with a
thirst for blood have been reported
304
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,580
throughout the ancient world, like the
raksashas described in the Sanskrit text
305
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:21,580
of India.
306
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:28,260
In the scriptures, Rakshasas have
special power to change shape.
307
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:31,980
Rakshasa is a flesh -eating demon.
308
00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:34,920
That Rakshasa loves to eat flesh.
309
00:23:36,780 --> 00:23:41,980
All across the globe, we have mythology
that represents some kind of vampiric
310
00:23:41,980 --> 00:23:42,980
-type entities.
311
00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:45,600
There's the Edimu in the Sumerian texts.
312
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:47,680
There's the Zhangshi in China.
313
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,560
All these classes of entities that seem
to be in some way interested in human
314
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,480
blood. But is there a real root to this?
Is there some kind of entity that's
315
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,880
interested in human blood?
316
00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:04,100
Could these bloodthirsty abominations be
more than just fantasy?
317
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:10,520
As far as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, the centuries -old tales
318
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,480
vampires bear striking similarities to a
very modern phenomenon.
319
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:24,690
When we talk about vampire experiences,
we break them down into there is the
320
00:24:24,690 --> 00:24:30,410
sighting, then there is the trapping of
one's own mind, and the luring of the
321
00:24:30,410 --> 00:24:31,690
person into the vampire.
322
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:36,590
But alien abductions are exactly the
same way.
323
00:24:39,770 --> 00:24:43,050
Abductees report they are transfixed by
a light.
324
00:24:43,450 --> 00:24:49,190
A figure approaches them, the figure
engages with them, and the figure takes
325
00:24:49,190 --> 00:24:50,190
them away.
326
00:24:51,250 --> 00:24:56,330
Central to alien abductions is the idea
of some sort of medical procedure.
327
00:24:57,010 --> 00:25:02,870
Some people say that DNA is taken, but
in other cases, blood seems to have been
328
00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:08,030
removed. Very often, the person is
immobilized in these abduction reports.
329
00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:13,000
And yet, when you look at the Vedic
text, the Chinese legends, the European
330
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,900
legends. One can draw these links
between vampires and UFOs and
331
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,520
We have a very strong connection between
vampires and extraterrestrials. But is
332
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,620
it possible that extraterrestrials
somehow need our blood?
333
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,440
If stories of vampires have been
inspired by extraterrestrial encounters,
334
00:25:39,230 --> 00:25:44,470
As ancient astronaut theorists suggest,
might they reveal that blood plays an
335
00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:47,070
essential role in the ability to shape
ship?
336
00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:52,750
Perhaps further clues can be found by
examining humanity's own efforts to
337
00:25:52,750 --> 00:25:56,770
transform life on Earth through the
manipulation of DNA.
338
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,500
Archaeologists excavating a stone -age
settlement known as Starkar make an
339
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:15,680
extraordinary discovery.
340
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Under layers of dense peat, they uncover
a ritualistic headdress that is 11 ,000
341
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,440
years old, one that would have been worn
by a shaman or priest.
342
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,940
As long as there's been people, there's
been the idea that certain people,
343
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,040
certain special people, can shift their
shape.
344
00:26:37,790 --> 00:26:43,790
And the priests of the ancient magical
world, the shamans, allegedly had the
345
00:26:43,790 --> 00:26:47,910
ability to shift their shape into an
animal.
346
00:26:49,670 --> 00:26:54,890
Curiously, in recent years, the site and
its surrounding region have become
347
00:26:54,890 --> 00:27:01,830
renowned for reports of a horrific
shapeshifter known as the Flixton
348
00:27:03,020 --> 00:27:08,580
A number of very odd experiences have
been occurring there over the last 50
349
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:15,260
years or so. These include the
appearance of a strange biped with
350
00:27:15,260 --> 00:27:17,460
canine or wolf -like head.
351
00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:22,160
In other words, half wolf, half human.
352
00:27:22,990 --> 00:27:27,810
And in addition to this, there have been
many strange sightings of mysterious
353
00:27:27,810 --> 00:27:32,690
light forms and structured craft, UFOs,
in the same vicinity.
354
00:27:34,030 --> 00:27:39,830
We have UFO activity and what would be
werewolf activity in Europe,
355
00:27:40,030 --> 00:27:46,310
particularly in Yorkshire. And so we
have to wonder, is there some connection
356
00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:50,170
between UFO activity and these
shapeshifters?
357
00:27:50,390 --> 00:27:51,430
It would seem so.
358
00:27:52,820 --> 00:27:58,440
In 2016, nearly a dozen sightings of the
Bligston werewolf were reported in the
359
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,100
nearby town of Hull, just 50 miles south
of Starcar.
360
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,800
Witnesses claim to have seen the
creature feasting on the blood and flesh
361
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,960
local dogs, leaving residents gripped by
terror.
362
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,560
For the peoples of Europe in the past,
this was a very real threat.
363
00:28:19,340 --> 00:28:23,760
It was believed that there were certain
individuals that could transform
364
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:30,500
themselves, shapeshift into a particular
animal, most obviously a wolf. And
365
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:36,140
whilst these individuals were in the
form of a werewolf, it was believed that
366
00:28:36,140 --> 00:28:42,520
sustain their existence, they had to
have the blood and life force of
367
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,300
either animals or human beings.
368
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,760
Among the many stories of shapeshifting
beings, from vampires to werewolves, and
369
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:01,360
even modern alien abduction accounts, a
recurring theme is the need for blood.
370
00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:07,680
And as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned, it's very
371
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,680
these beings need something contained
within the blood in order to shapeshift.
372
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,240
DNA.
373
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,820
Now, could it be that in some way this
shape -shifting ability could be
374
00:29:19,820 --> 00:29:25,940
harnessed by blending of the genes of a
species to just morph into whatever you
375
00:29:25,940 --> 00:29:28,020
need to look like instantaneously?
376
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:35,920
The priority is genetic harvesting
because they can mix and match genes at
377
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:42,300
sophisticated level and can make any
body container that they want.
378
00:29:43,340 --> 00:29:45,680
and then they can use it as camouflage.
379
00:29:46,820 --> 00:29:53,260
And so one of our greatest questions is,
who walks around on our planet, looks
380
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:54,940
human, but is not?
381
00:29:56,340 --> 00:30:02,880
If there really are alien shapeshifters
here on Earth, might they require DNA in
382
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,200
order to mimic a human or animal form?
383
00:30:06,540 --> 00:30:12,300
Over the past 30 years, advances in gene
-splicing technology have allowed
384
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:16,430
humanity, to begin experimenting with
cloning and transforming earthly
385
00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:17,430
creatures.
386
00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:25,870
In 2019, researchers in China announced
they had created the first hybrid
387
00:30:25,870 --> 00:30:28,970
embryos that are part human and part
monkey.
388
00:30:29,910 --> 00:30:35,090
Similar experiments have been done
around the world, crossing human DNA
389
00:30:35,090 --> 00:30:38,790
pigs, sheep, and soon, mice and rats.
390
00:30:41,870 --> 00:30:46,630
We are seeing modern technology able to
create these kinds of cross species.
391
00:30:46,990 --> 00:30:51,710
So what geneticists are able to do is
actually clip pieces of a DNA strand,
392
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:56,690
insert a new strand in to complete the
sequence, and then put that back into a
393
00:30:56,690 --> 00:31:02,450
cell. When it's able to grow and become
an embryo and then grow into a full
394
00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:05,490
being, it has this different DNA
sequence in it.
395
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,100
When you think about what we already
know about gene editing, first of all,
396
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,320
know the technology is possible.
397
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,620
So it is certainly well within the realm
of possibility that an advanced
398
00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:20,020
civilization, an alien civilization,
would have skills in gene editing far
399
00:31:20,020 --> 00:31:23,880
surpassing what we have now and could
really do things that are actually
400
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,780
unimaginable and outside the scope of
what we're thinking.
401
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,800
Could it be that the genetic
modification that scientists are now
402
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,940
achieve in a laboratory were perfected
thousands of years ago by
403
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:45,920
extraterrestrials? For ancient astronaut
theorists, this possibility raises
404
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,640
another intriguing question.
405
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,660
Could they similarly alter the DNA of
humans?
406
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,120
The southwest region of France is home
to some of the earliest examples of
407
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,000
prehistoric art ever discovered.
408
00:32:06,340 --> 00:32:12,960
The caves of Lascaux, Neo, and Pachmel
all contain rock paintings
409
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,860
that date back more than 15 ,000 years.
410
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,440
But among the ancient cave art, one
image stands apart.
411
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:27,320
Tucked inside the Trois Frères cave is
the depiction of a mysterious figure
412
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,500
known simply as the sorcerer.
413
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,040
In the south of France, a cave was
discovered with an image believed to be
414
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,920
something like 15 ,000 years old. This
might be the very earliest image we have
415
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,920
of a deity.
416
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,520
It's a stag, but it's human inside, so
it seems to depict a shamanic ritual
417
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,680
leader channeling animal powers.
418
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:55,780
It has the body of a deer.
419
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,640
It has the eyes.
420
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:05,120
of a owl it has the tail possibly of a
horse but it's quite clearly standing on
421
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:11,860
human legs and has human -like arms and
although it's been interpreted perhaps
422
00:33:11,860 --> 00:33:13,600
as the first god
423
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:21,200
More likely is that it represents a
shaman who has transformed into
424
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:28,140
one or more animals to move through the
supernatural realms that the shaman
425
00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:29,840
is thought to have taken.
426
00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:37,380
While there is no written record to
definitively identify cave art from 15
427
00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:40,740
years ago, in the American Southwest...
428
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:45,380
The notion of shamans transforming
themselves into shapeshifters is still
429
00:33:45,380 --> 00:33:46,380
prevalent today.
430
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:56,360
Skinwalker Ranch, Uinta Basin, Utah.
431
00:33:58,220 --> 00:34:03,800
This 500 -acre expanse has been plagued
by reports of strange phenomena for
432
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,800
decades.
433
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:10,570
Phenomena. that include both UFO
sightings and accounts of a shape
434
00:34:10,570 --> 00:34:11,570
monster.
435
00:34:13,010 --> 00:34:18,710
Any paranormal activity that you can
imagine has happened, allegedly, at the
436
00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:19,790
Skinwalker Ranch.
437
00:34:20,510 --> 00:34:26,710
You've seen UFOs. They have seen
different creatures. They have seen
438
00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:28,550
things happening up in the sky.
439
00:34:30,750 --> 00:34:36,120
There's a history that not only goes
back over the past hundred years, But
440
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,179
the past 1 ,000 years of activity
happening in that area, some of which is
441
00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:48,040
connected to Navajo legends, tales of
shapeshifters called skinwalkers have
442
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,219
existed since time immemorial.
443
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,300
In the oral traditions of both the local
Navajo and Ute populations, the
444
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:03,400
shapeshifter for which Skinwalker Ranch
is named has inhabited the area for
445
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,400
centuries.
446
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,620
But the story behind this creature is
different from that of other
447
00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:10,620
shapeshifters.
448
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:16,620
According to the Navajo, the skinwalker
is a human who has attained the ability
449
00:35:16,620 --> 00:35:18,460
to transform his body.
450
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:26,160
A skinwalker is the name that is given
to a Navajo
451
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,340
shaman or witch when they are in a
supernatural form.
452
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,780
Very often a skinwalker...
453
00:35:34,170 --> 00:35:37,670
will be a wolf, but it can be other
animals as well.
454
00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:44,690
The native tradition concerning
skinwalkers is that these are actual
455
00:35:44,690 --> 00:35:47,870
have gained a certain type of power.
456
00:35:48,130 --> 00:35:53,410
They were given certain abilities, shape
-changing and magic.
457
00:35:55,730 --> 00:36:00,270
When it comes to how the skinwalker is
able to change shape, the Navajo.
458
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,360
have a similar notion to that of ancient
astronaut theorists. They believe it is
459
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,720
connected to DNA.
460
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:15,180
Our view on it is that they're
manipulating the DNA of their own body.
461
00:36:15,180 --> 00:36:19,900
change shape. And it's usually an animal
that they have the skin for.
462
00:36:20,140 --> 00:36:26,280
And they'll use the skin and with a
combination of chance can actually turn
463
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,340
that animal. And interestingly enough,
464
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:35,440
In Navajo tradition, you are taught
early on as a child, you don't leave
465
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,860
fingernail clippings, you don't spit on
the ground and not cover it up. All of
466
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:42,640
this has to do with the transmission of
DNA.
467
00:36:46,420 --> 00:36:52,360
If extraterrestrials are harvesting DNA
in order to shapeshift, as some ancient
468
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,200
astronaut theorists suggest, is it
possible that they could also bestow
469
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,700
with this same ability?
470
00:36:59,850 --> 00:37:03,210
And might the skinwalker be evidence of
alien intervention?
471
00:37:03,950 --> 00:37:09,590
While it may sound far -fetched, former
Navajo police officer Jonathan Dover is
472
00:37:09,590 --> 00:37:12,750
certain that the being called the
skinwalker is real.
473
00:37:13,550 --> 00:37:16,790
I spent 31 years in law enforcement.
474
00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:22,770
We've had many, many incidences where
people have seen them chasing their
475
00:37:22,770 --> 00:37:27,530
vehicle as their vehicles were traveling
at 60, 65 miles an hour.
476
00:37:28,490 --> 00:37:31,150
and having a human figure running behind
you.
477
00:37:33,170 --> 00:37:39,650
I've had police officers arrest people
and had them in handcuffs. They get to
478
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:43,010
the station, they hadn't stopped
anywhere, and the person is gone.
479
00:37:44,450 --> 00:37:48,310
Whether we have an alien present, we
don't know for sure.
480
00:37:49,010 --> 00:37:53,950
But there's enough information there
that I would say don't take it lightly
481
00:37:53,950 --> 00:37:55,610
because it's a different culture.
482
00:37:56,940 --> 00:38:02,000
Is the strange figure that was depicted
on a cave wall in France 15 ,000 years
483
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,800
ago alive and well in the American
Southwest?
484
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:12,900
Have there always been shapeshifters
among us, both alien and human?
485
00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:19,160
And is it possible that new scientific
developments are leading towards a
486
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,560
in which we could become the
shapeshifters?
487
00:38:31,470 --> 00:38:35,090
Harvard University, October 2019.
488
00:38:37,330 --> 00:38:42,350
Scientists developing shape -shifting
technology announced their latest and
489
00:38:42,350 --> 00:38:43,430
incredible creation.
490
00:38:44,650 --> 00:38:48,930
Lattices that can transform in response
to changes in temperature.
491
00:38:49,890 --> 00:38:55,250
When researchers demonstrate the
material's remarkable metamorphosis, as
492
00:38:55,250 --> 00:39:00,560
magic, The flat mesh morphs into a three
-dimensional face of 19th century
493
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,160
mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
494
00:39:04,540 --> 00:39:09,080
This has been used to take a flat sort
of structure and turn it to look like a
495
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,360
human face or other interesting sort of
three -dimensional shape.
496
00:39:13,940 --> 00:39:18,120
When you talk about shape -shifting
technology, what you're seeing right now
497
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,100
our ability to control materials is
really at a transformative point.
498
00:39:23,340 --> 00:39:28,620
In the near future, Shapeshifting
materials like this could be utilized in
499
00:39:28,620 --> 00:39:33,740
ways, from constructing smart fabrics
and self -repairing electronics to
500
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:38,260
ushering in the next generation of
robotics and high -tech medical
501
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:44,300
But ancient astronaut theorists see an
even more profound possibility that
502
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:49,780
advancements, combined with our growing
understanding of DNA manipulation, will
503
00:39:49,780 --> 00:39:54,040
unlock the potential for humans to
harness the power of shapeshifting.
504
00:39:56,430 --> 00:40:00,450
In science fiction, one of the great
ideas was the idea of being able to
505
00:40:00,450 --> 00:40:05,730
-shift, to change the color of your skin
or to change your form, to turn into
506
00:40:05,730 --> 00:40:06,669
something else.
507
00:40:06,670 --> 00:40:09,610
And now high -tech companies are
actually working on this today.
508
00:40:10,150 --> 00:40:15,490
In nature, we see animals that can
suddenly shift colors, change their
509
00:40:15,690 --> 00:40:20,510
Could it be that in some way this
ability could be harnessed and used in
510
00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:21,510
technologies?
511
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:27,000
We're perhaps seeing even a cybernetic
blending of the genes of a species like
512
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,520
this with the technology, allowing us to
have these rapid shape shifts to just
513
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,900
morph into whatever you need to look
like instantaneously.
514
00:40:36,380 --> 00:40:40,720
Human technology is advancing here by
leaps and bounds.
515
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:47,360
By all accounts, we already have pretty
much optical...
516
00:40:47,770 --> 00:40:52,530
invisibility or certainly camouflage so
good that it it's almost
517
00:40:52,530 --> 00:40:56,970
indistinguishable i mean some of this is
of course so classified we won't get to
518
00:40:56,970 --> 00:41:02,930
hear about it for years but but if you
reading hints about it here and there
519
00:41:02,930 --> 00:41:09,850
can bet that it already exists we now
have technology that is equal to
520
00:41:09,850 --> 00:41:15,890
what we see that god's using in these
ancient stories and now we're faced with
521
00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:16,970
new reality.
522
00:41:17,630 --> 00:41:22,190
What if suddenly we realize that there
are thousands, hundreds of thousands,
523
00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:25,930
maybe millions of extraterrestrials that
are walking amongst us, and suddenly
524
00:41:25,930 --> 00:41:28,590
they reveal themselves for their true
appearance?
525
00:41:30,930 --> 00:41:35,910
As humanity begins to harness the
extraordinary abilities that ancient
526
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:41,150
associated with the gods, will we awaken
to an incredible new reality?
527
00:41:41,930 --> 00:41:47,130
One in which we will not only achieve
the power to shapeshift, but in the
528
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:51,870
process, we'll discover that humans are
not the only intelligent species on
529
00:41:51,870 --> 00:41:52,870
Earth.
530
00:41:53,210 --> 00:41:58,590
Perhaps a reunion with our alien
ancestors will only happen when we are
531
00:41:58,590 --> 00:42:04,810
able to open our eyes and see that they
are all around us.
