[ Man Narrating]
Evidence of a cataclysmic event.

You can see it here
that this event took place.

[ Narrator]
Written accounts describing lost cities.

Atlantis had a great advanced civilization.

[ Narrator] And mythic tales
of gods punishing humanity.

They decided that they would destroy
all these civilizations.

[ Narrator]
In ancient cultures throughout the world...

there are numerous stories of mankind...

nearly being destroyed by a great flood.

But could such an event
have actually taken place?

And might it have been caused
by an otherworldly force?

[ Man ]
One has to ask the question...

“What if Noah was
one of the extraterrestrials?”

[ Narrator] Millions of people
around the world believe...

we have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?

And if so,
might we find evidence...

in the stories of the great flood?

[ Narrator] It is one of
the best-known stories of the Bible...

and variations of this ancient tale...

can be found in cultures
throughout the world.

From ancient Hindu teachings
and Mesopotamian legends...

to Mesoamerican myths...

it is written that the gods sent a powerful
flood to wipe out all of humanity.

God is angry at human beings...

because human beings have
not been behaving properly.

They have been violating God's laws.

[Woman ] Certainly the most famous
of these is the legend of Noah.

In Genesis, God becomes so disgusted
with the behavior of his creation...

that he says he repenteth
of making them...

and he brings forth the deluge.

In stories much older
than the story of Noah...

in the story of Gilgamesh,
the Sumerian legend...

the council of gods brought the flood.

In Plato's writing,
Zeus brought the flood.

[Man] In Hinduism,
God had instructed that one day...

the whole Earth will be flooded.

When that happens,
you build a boat...

and you gather the people,
some animals...

and then I will save you.

[ Narrator]
The story of the great flood...

is often considered to be mythological.

Bu! Similar stories
of a cataclysmic flood can be found...

in approximately 1,200
different cultures around the world.

And many anthropologists say...

that because these stories
are so numerous...

and date back thousands of years...

it is unlikely that they originated
from a single source.

[ MAGLIOCCO ] When we find
similar myths all over the world...

like the myth of the flood,
then we have to ask ourselves...

are these things that human beings
came up with independently?

Because, let's say, there was
a great flood in ancient history...

that has been memorialized
in people's mythologies...

because it was
such a cataclysmic event...

that people looked for
a religious explanation for it.

[ Man ] The fact that there are ancient
stories that speak of the same flood...

it almost leads into that direction...

that at some point,
some cataclysm happened...

that not just affected
one geographic area of the world...

but the entire planet.

[ Narrator] If a cataclysmic flood really did
occur, killing most life on the planet...

what could have caused it?

And is there
any physical evidence to suggest...

that it actually happened?

Scientists say answers
to both questions...

may be buried deep
beneath the sea.

[ Narrator] The Indian Ocean.

According to the five scientists who make
up the Holocene Impact Working Group...

this area,
900 miles southeast of Madagascar...

is where an enormous asteroid
struck the Earth thousands of years ago.

This impact may have been so large...

that it triggered enormous tsunamis that
flooded inland areas across the region-

an event the local inhabitants
would have perceived as a great flood.

Since so many ancient cultures
have a flood story or a flood mythology...

this is probably based in
some sort of real event.

And an asteroid landing in the ocean
in the right place, triggering a tsunami...

would then lead to
one of these major floods.

[ Narrator] The Holocene Group says evidence
for a catastrophic asteroid strike...

lies in what they believe is
an 18-mile-wide crater...

on the floor of the Indian Ocean,
just west of the island of Madagascar.

Holocene Group scientists believe
further evidence supporting their theory...

also lies in what are called chevrons-

ancient deposits of sediment and fossils
in both Madagascar and Australia.

What was so out of place
and unusual about the chevrons...

was that they weren't
land-based debris.

But, rather, it was the kind of debris
you get from an ocean sea bottom-

things like marine animals,
marine fossils.

They've also found what's really
the smoking gun...

of any asteroid or comet impact...

and that's micro-beads.

The only way they're formed is by...

the extreme heat of an impact
melting the rock...

the rock being thrown
into the air or water...

and cooling into
these nice little spheres.

[ Narrator] Similar marine fossils have also
been found on the other side of the world-

at the ancient temple complex of
Puma Punku, in modern-day Bolivia.

If the Holocene Group's
initial findings prove true...

they could be definitive evidence
that a cosmic strike...

caused large-scale flooding
thousands of years ago.

Bu! If an asteroid really was
responsible for a worldwide flood...

scientists say it would
have to have been as large...

as the one that led to
the extinction of the dinosaurs...

which measured eight miles wide...

and struck the Earth with a force
five billion times more powerful...

than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

[ Man ]
There are many ancient texts...

that tell us that there
wasn't just a flood...

but there was also a conflagration,
a period of fire...

when the Earth was bombarded with
firestorms, the gods bringing them down...

and that this period
was then followed by a flood.

And it would seem that
fragments of this comet...

vaporized the ice sheets...

that had been covering large parts
of the northern hemisphere...

for tens of thousands of years...

sending all of the water up into
the atmosphere, which then rained down...

perhaps even for 4O days, 4O nights,
like the Bible tells us.

[ Narrator] According to those
scientists who subscribe to this theory...

the fires that might have occurred
just before the flood...

would have left behind an ash layer
in the earth all over the world.

This distinctive ash layer,
which scientists call the Usselo horizon...

could be the ultimate proof
that the great flood really occurred...

and researchers believe
they may have discovered it.

Just outside the small
Belgian town of Lommel...

author and researcher Andrew Collins...

follows local archaeologist Ferdi Geerts...

to the site of a mysterious black layer
of soil excavated by a mining company.

I can already see a black layer
in the soil here.

It's about just under a meter down,
three to four feet.

And are we looking here
at the Usselo horizon?

- Is this it?
- [ Man ] Yes.

At the end of the ditch,
we see a peat layer.

At the top of the peat layer,
there is some charcoal.

- Right. Can we go down and look at this?
- Yes.

[ Narrator]
Collins and Geerts get a closer look...

which allows them to determine
that this dark layer of soil...

seems to date to
the end of the last ice age-

about the same time the Usselo horizon
ls supposed to have formed.

If we come down from the surface here,
which is obviously the modern day...

there is this accumulation of sand...

over a period of around 13,000 years...

that takes us back to this point here.

- The black is a layer, and the white is sand.
- Yeah.

- We call that a soil horizon.
- Yeah. Okay.

[ Narrator] According to Geerts,
this black layer dates back...

to the time period when a global flood
may have devastated Earth.

But what is it made of?

Collins and Geerts dig into the soil...

and discover that it is, indeed, charcoal.

This is the Usselo horizon,
and to Collins...

it's confirmation that the catastrophe
described in the Bible was real.

This is physical evidence...

of that flood, of that conflagration.

This is your absolute evidence...

that this event took place.

This is the evidence of the cataclysm.

[ Narrator]
Could the Usselo horizon...

a possible impact crater
in the Indian Ocean...

and sea fossils at Puma Punku
all be proof...

that the ancient story of a great flood
is not a myth-..

But that it is based on actual events?

And if so, could the rest of the story-

In which God' sent' a flood
to annihilate the human race-

be true as well?

This suggests that a great flood
did in fact happen, that it was real.

But then it also presents us
with an intriguing possibility.

It is entirely possible that...

there is an extraterrestrial
origin to this terrible flood.

[ Narrator] Could it be that the great flood
described in so many ancient texts...

really did occur
at the end of the last ice age?

And if so, could it have been brought on
by extraterrestrial beings?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

and claim that evidence of this
can be found...

at the top of one of the world's
most sacred mountains.

[ Narrator]
Laurel, Maryland. October, 2014.

At Johns Hopkins University,
top scientists from all over the world...

gather for the first International Asteroid
Impact Deflection Assessment Workshop.

The focus of this event is to demonstrate
the latest technology designed...

for diverting the course of asteroids
headed for a collision with Earth.

The proposed method involves
launching a spacecraft...

to collide with the asteroid
at a velocity nine times faster...

than the speed of a bullet
fired from an AK -47.

If we look at the dinosaurs,
for example, 65 million years ago...

they were wiped out
due to the impact of a giant rock...

that wiped out everything
on planet Earth at the time.

And so, right now, scientists
around the globe are working tirelessly...

to redirect asteroids from
possible collisions with Earth.

[ Narrator] In addition to using direct
impact to knock an asteroid off course...

scientists have also looked
into the possibility...

of creating a gravity tractor...

that could actually manipulate
the trajectory of the object.

But if we are close to developing
this kind of technology today...

is it possible that extraterrestrials
who visited Earth in the distant past...

already possessed the ability
to redirect asteroids?

And if so,
might they have used this technology...

not to deflect an asteroid
away from Earth...

but towards it?

We are talking about technology
that equals ours today...

or as some have said,
that it actually surpasses...

whatever it is that we've achieved
so far in our modern age.

And so, if we can control
the trajectories of asteroids...

to direct them away from Earth...

then it's certainly possible that
highly advanced extraterrestrials...

could have had the technology
to direct an asteroid towards Earth.

It's interesting how the legends
described how the flood came.

It is stated that...

a great meteor or comet or something
was to swing around from behind the sun...

and as such,
rip the oceans out of their bodies.

The flood was clearly contrived.

It was sent by higher powers...

to correct things here on Earth.

They had an intent and a purpose
for Experiment Earth...

which they believed
had become corrupted...

and, therefore,
the flood was sent as an attack...

an assault upon humanity.

[ Narrator] If the great flood
was a real, historical event...

could it have been deliberately caused
by otherworldly beings...

as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

But if so, why?

What might they have been
trying to destroy?

[ Narrator]
Mount Hermon, Lebanon. 1869.

Exploring the top of
this historic mountain range...

British archaeologist
General Sir Charles Warren...

discovers the sacred
temple of Qasr Antar...

believed to be highest place
of worship in the biblical world.

[ Man ] Sir Charles Warren
hiked up to the top of Mount Hermon.

The ruins of this temple are there,
and there he found an ancient stele...

and he broke this stele into two pieces...

and brought it back to the British Museum.

[ Narrator] When scholars translated
the Greek text, it read:

“According to the command
of the greatest and holy God...

those who take an oath proceed from here.”

The inscription's significance was lost on
archaeologists for more than a century...

until biblical scholar
George Nickelsburg connected it...

to an oath mentioned
in the ancient Book of Enoch.

According to Enoch, Mount Hermon
is where a band of renegade angels...

known as the Watchers...

descended from the heavens
in the distant past...

and took an oath
before meeting with humans.

In the time before time,
the sons of God came down to Earth.

They were the shining ones,
the Elohim.

Those are fallen angels, and they
found the women very attractive...

and they married the women
or bonded with the women.

[ Narrator] The offspring of these unnatural
unions between angels and humans...

were said to produce
giant hybrid beings catted the Nephilim...

and God was so disgusted
by their existence...

that he decided to send a great flood
to cleanse the Earth of them.

But how is it that human women
were able to be impregnated by angels?

Could it be, as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest...

that the Book of Enoch
is not actually describing angels...

but rather a different kind
of otherworldly being?

[ CHILDRESS ] You've got to wonder
what was really going on here.

Are extraterrestrials coming
and now breeding with humans?

Which was somehow forbidden,
and wrong, but they did it anyway.

So the other extraterrestrials
decided this is a big mistake.

Now we've got to destroy
all these people.

[ Narrator]
Could the story of the great flood...

actually be describing extraterrestrials
coming to Earth long ago...

and interbreeding with human women
to create a mutant race of giants?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

and claim further evidence
can be found by examining ruins...

that are believed to date back
thousands of years before...

our earliest known civilizations.

[ Narrator]
The Gulf of Khambhat, India, 2001.

Scientists working
some 25 miles from shore...

and 125 feet below the surface...

stumble across something extraordinary-

what appears to be the signs
of an ancient civilization.

[Shimkhada ] Recently,
the marine archaeologists of India...

have discovered two cities
in the Bay of Khambhat.

They are still working on it-

going down there and archiving it
and taking photographs and videos.

[ CHILDRESS ] They think that these cities
were destroyed in a geological change...

that happened
many thousands of years ago.

But you have to wonder yourself...

if there are not
more sunken cities all around India.

Their own legends and myths
say exactly that.

[ Narrator] Ruins found beneath
the ocean in the Gulf of Khambhat...

are thought to date back
at least 9,000 years...

to the time when
some researchers believe...

a comet struck the Earth...

and caused a global deluge.

Could these submerged cities
not only be evidence...

that the great flood really did occur...

but also that it wiped out
an advanced society...

that existed long before
the earliest known human civilization?

Scientists say further evidence
can be found...

in archaeological sites
around the world...

that date back
to end of the last ice age.

In southeastern Turkey
lies Gobekli Tepe-

an extraordinary series
of circular stone structures...

with intricately carved pillars
weighing as much as 50 tons.

Radiocarbon dating indicates...

parts of the complex were built
about 10,000 BC...

and at least one archaeologist
believes there are signs...

it may have been destroyed by a flood.

[ Man ] We have evidence there
of catastrophic destruction...

of pillars being knocked over
at the end of the last ice age...

that things were very severe-people
were trying to rebuild it at the time.

Eventually they effectively gave up
and covered over the entire site...

maybe to come back later
to uncover it...

maybe to simply bury it for posterity.

[ Narrator]
In the rain forests of Indonesia...

is a series of terraces,
walls and steps on a hill...

that the locals call Gunung Padang.

When scientists drilled
into the earth to determine its age...

they discovered the site
dates back to at least 9700 BC.

Very interestingly,
one of the layers of Gunung Padang...

that's been exposed seismically...

shows that there was an entrance
to a cave at about 9700 or so BC...

that was subsequently covered over.

Again, I think this ties in with
the events of the end of the last ice age.

People were going into caves.
They had to escape.

And then things
were covered over after that.

[ Narrator] Are these ruins
that are found across the world...

evidence of an advanced civilization
that existed before a global deluge?

And if so, might we find mention of it
in ancient myths?

[ MAGLIOCCO] if we go back
to ancient Greece, one of the myths...

one of the sacred narratives
that Plato preserves...

is the narrative that there used to be a
great continent, which he calls Atlantis...

and Atlantis had
a great, advanced civilization.

Atlantis was one of the continents
that was destroyed by the great flood.

[SCHOCH ] When does he date Atlantis?
To 9600 BC...

which is very close to the modern date
of the end of the last ice age.

So all this, I believe, ties together that
we had an earlier cycle of civilization.

It was devastated at the end of
the last ice age by natural catastrophes.

Humanity was driven into a dark age
that lasted thousands of years...

until civilization reemerged
about 5,000 years ago.

[ Narrator] Is it possible
that the story of Atlantis...

is really describing a civilization
that existed before 70, 000 BC...

when the great flood and the end of
the ice age are said to have happened?

Did Atlantis suffer the same fate
as Gobekli Tepe...

Gunung Padang,
and many other ancient structures...

that appear to have been hit
by some catastrophic event?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

and suggest that the most compelling
evidence can be found...

not with what was destroyed,
but with what survived.

[ Narrator]
Qumran, Palestine, 1946.

In the desert,
70 miles east of Jerusalem...

a Bedouin shepherd leaves his flock
of sheep and goats to look for a stray.

Walking along the cliffs,
the shepherd spots a cave in the distance.

[ Man ]
He threw a stone into a cave...

and he heard the crack
of breaking pottery.

[Clattering ]

So he went in to investigate...

and found jars that contained
ancient manuscripts.

The Bedouin shepherd's find
led to a discovery of 11 caves...

that contained the most
extraordinary cache of literature...

arguably in human history-
the Dead Sea Scrolls.

There are 800 pieces of literature
found in these 11 caves...

and it tells us so much
about the ancient world.

One of the amazing revelations
is a story about Noah...

that we don't see
in the Old Testament.

And the story is that when Noah is born,
he's an extraordinary baby...

with a strange complexion and the ability
to light up the room with his eyes.

What's interesting is that
you actually have Noah's father, Lamech...

questioning whether or not
Noah is his son.

And this is due to the fact that we have
this story about these fallen angels...

that came down and had sex with women.

Lamech confronts his wife, Batenosh-
“Is it my son or is it one of theirs?”

[TSOUKALOS ] Noah's exterior
is described as very foreign.

His eyes are described to be
glowing like sunbeams.

His skin is glowing as well.

Now, that's a very bizarre description.

And so one has to ask the question...

“What if Noah was one
of the extraterrestrials?”

[ Narrator] Could it be,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest...

that the biblical figure of Noah
was, in fact, an alien being?

Is this the reason he is described...

as having a strange complexion
and glowing eyes?

The key thing
that's going on with Noah...

is that he is pure in God's sight,
and so is his family.

And this purity seems to be genetic,
as much as what you might call spiritual.

And so, when God makes plans
to wipe out the rest of humanity...

what he's wiping out is the
extraterrestrial dimension of humanity...

that has come about through
the pollution of human genetics.

[ Narrator] Could extraterrestrials
have sent the great flood...

to cleanse the earth
of genetic mistakes...

and make Noah the father
of a new version of humankind?

According to ancient stories...

the world that Noah's
descendants were born into...

was very different from the one
that existed in pre-flood times...

when gods, giants, fairies...

and other creatures were said
to share the planet with humans.

The flood does seem to serve
as a demarcation point.

In the Bible, we read about how
before the flood...

people had longer lives,
but then after the flood, shorter lives.

We see the same thing in Mesopotamian
tradition, with the Sumerian King List...

where before the flood, we have kings
that ruled in Mesopotamia...

with extraordinarily long lives.

After the flood, the lengths of reigns
of these kings becomes much shorter.

The other thing that happened
before this great demarcation...

is that the gods
were present among us.

There was a close interaction
between the human and the sacred.

The gods would guide us,
and they would be tempted.

There would be interaction-
the god might marry a mortal...

and then there would be
descendants of the gods.

Now the gods seem so far away.

So, there are these theories that this was
the big shifting point in human history.

It is really interesting to note that
the interaction with these higher beings...

seems to only be located in the past.

All these depictions of,
“There were giants upon the Earth.”

Or a time when
man interacted with the gods.

Where are the gods today?

We only seem to have
subtle interactions.

[ Man ] it's curious to think
why that might have been.

What was it about this great flood,
this dividing line in history...

that caused the separation
of God and man?

It could be that our evolution
depended upon a natural upbringing...

an upbringing that was not
contaminated by this notion...

that we're not alone in the universe.

It could be a necessary part
of the human development.

[ Narrator]
Could it be that the great flood...

removed not only
most living creatures from the Earth...

but also any trace of the alien beings
that gave birth to our species?

Perhaps additional clues
can be found...

by further examining the story
of Noah and how he survived.

[ Narrator]
Uzengili, Turkey, 1997.

More than 7,000 feet up,
near the country's eastern border...

an American explorer
searching for Noah's Ark...

named David Allen Deal...

stumbles upon the ruins
of an ancient settlement.

There is an extraordinary
archaeological site...

in the Anatolian plateau in Turkey,
called Naxuan.

And Naxuan comes from an ancient word
that means “Noah's Zion”-

the city of God that Noah built.

Mount Ararat, which is the legendary resting
place of Noah's Ark, is very close by.

So it makes a lot of sense that this could
have been the landing site of the ark...

and then this city would have
been built by Noah.

[ Narrator] The ancient Armenian
historian Moses of Choren...

called Naxuan
“the place of first descent”...

where Noah and his family
emerged from the ark...

and built the first city or town
after the flood.

Could this be the first settlement
in the post-flood world?

The place where Noah lived and died?

Today, this remote area
is largely uninhabited.

But according to explorer David Deal...

a recent archaeological dig reportedly
uncovered something remarkable-

the region may contain
as many as a million graves.

There is evidence that people
came from all over the world...

to bury their dead here
for 10,000 years.

The idea is that
if you are brought here...

to be buried in the site
of this extraordinary prophet-

this man who was chosen by God
to be the survivor of the deluge-

that you too would be resurrected
because you were in such holy company.

[ Narrator]
If the story of Noah is true...

could this patch of earth
be the final resting place...

of the father of all of humanity?

[Young ]
When the floods ended, God said...

“Go forward, be fruitful,
multiply, populate the Earth.”

And then it says, “God will create
the descendants of Noah in God's image.”

We have the presence of the divine in our
lineage, and it all goes back to Noah.

[ Narrator]
According to some researchers...

if this is indeed the place where Noah
began the re-population of the Earth...

then the ark must be nearby as well.

[ Mullins]
In the Book of Genesis...

we read about how
God commanded Noah to build an ark...

and the measurements of this ark
are quite large.

The dimensions usually given are
about 450 feet long by 75 feet wide...

by about 45 feet high.

Such a boat of these dimensions
was never seen in the ancient world...

and, in fact, not until the 19th century
was there ever a boat of this size.

[ Narrator] In 2009,
a Dutchman named Johan Huibers...

started building
a full-size version of Noah's Ark...

using the instructions laid out
in the Bible.

It took him three years and more than
a million dollars to complete the project.

But while the ship seems perfectly designed
to ride out a torrential storm...

many say it's still far too small...

to literally hold two
of every animal species on the planet.

[ Downing ]
it would seem pretty clear that Noah...

did not scoop up every form
of life on Earth and put it in the ark.

And so as a means of saving
all life-forms on Earth...

this is not possible,
not believable.

[ Narrator] But ancient astronaut
theorists suggest...

there might be another way
in which the ark was able to preserve...

two of every creature on Earth,
as stated in the Bible.

Let's look at it
from a technological perspective.

The only way that
you can create an ark...

like Noah created according to
what we can read in the Old Testament...

is if you collect DNA samples.

So what if the ark...

was a metaphor or a symbol
for some type of a DNA bank?

[ Narrator] Did the ark described
in the story of Noah really exist?

And if so, might it have been not a vessel
to carry two of every animal species...

but a DNA bank...

built to hold the genetic information
of all life on our planet?

[ CHILDRESS ] What one might
read into this is that...

some kind of special DNA bank
was to be created...

that animal DNA, plant DNA...

and human DNA, for that matter...

were all to be preserved somehow...

in an ark that was to float
through the flood and this catastrophe.

[ Narrator] Is it possible that all of humanity
is descended from Noah's genetic lineage-

a new species that replaced the indigenous
people who once existed on Earth?

And all that remains of
this once-great society...

are the giant slabs of rock that' were
too big to be washed away by the flood?

And if so, might we be destined
to suffer the same fate?

Perhaps further clues can be found...

by looking at our own
modern-day version...

of Noah's Ark.

[ Narrator] Spitsbergen, Norway.

On this remote archipelago,
not far from the Arctic Ocean...

lies the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

Known as the Doomsday Vault...

this repository for the DNA
of plants, animals and humans...

can withstand nearly any cataclysm...

including a flood, an earthquake
or a nuclear blast.

[Woman ]
The Svalbard Seed Bank is a structure...

or a facility that's sunk
into the permafrost.

It's essentially an international effort
to deposit as many seeds-

particularly seeds
of crop plant varieties-

to help to preserve genetic diversity.

[ Narrator] With the Doomsday Vault,
are we creating our own modern-day ark?

One that instead of housing
two of every living creature on Earth...

will house the seeds
of every kind of plant life?

[ Fisher] The Svalbard Seed Vault
has been designed...

with some sort of cataclysm in mind.

The idea is that in the event
of some catastrophic event...

it would still stay cold and
preserve seeds for thousands of years.

It's sort of this last hope
for genetic diversity.

[ Narrator]
The Svalbard is just one...

of several biological storehouses
located around the world.

England's Millennium Seed Bank
is even larger...

while the US federal government has built a
similar facility in Fort' Collins, Colorado.

Scientists say one reason
for these repositories...

is that another large asteroid...

similar to the one that is believed
to have caused the great flood...

will eventually strike Earth.

It's just a matter of time.

[Frisbee]
You always have the risk...

and, of course, we've seen it
here on Earth...

of having large asteroids
or comets hit the planet...

and cause tremendous
ecological damage.

Right now all our genetic eggs
are in one basket.

Whether it's a comet or asteroid
hitting us, we are in jeopardy.

[ Narrator]
In February of 2013...

an asteroid large enough to take
out all of New York City...

came within 18,000 miles of Earth.

Another has been predicted to strike
the Earth sometime in the next 20 years.

But if a great flood, or some other
global catastrophe, were to occur today...

are we prepared to survive it?

And if there really are extraterrestrial
beings watching over the Earth...

are they likely to be the cause
of such a cataclysm?

Or will they simply be observers...

sitting quietly by and letting nature
take its course?

If extraterrestrial gods
are there watching us...

and either aware
of future catastrophes...

or are capable of making them
themselves...

then perhaps we need
to be prepared for that.

We live in a precarious point...

where at any time we could
go through another catastrophe.

And you have to ask yourself...

if the extraterrestrials themselves
may not create that.

[ Man ] One of the explanations
for why extraterrestrials...

might seek to destroy humankind...

is because they treat us
as their property.

They treat us as their offspring.

And they're able to make decisions
about humanity based on their needs.

So perhaps their needs were
satisfied and they decided...

they didn't want humankind around
anymore, so it's just as easy...

to wipe 'em out as it is to continue
to perpetuate their existence.

[Woman ] The evolution
of humans on this planet...

has been completely and totally an
experiment on the part of extraterrestrials.

If survival is the bottom line...

they are trying to get us...

over some kind of a finish line
when we're still alive.

Our survival was ensured
by extraterrestrials...

way back in the remote past...

because we are
their direct offspring.

We are their product.

They, in fact, have a vested
interest in our survival.

[ Narrator] Are we the descendants of
an extraterrestrial ancestor named Noah...

who was sent to repopulate
the Earth after the great flood?

And if so...

are there extraterrestrials
watching over us even to this day...

not to destroy us, but simply...

to see if we can prevail
over the Earth's next great cataclysm?

It is a question we may not have
much time to think about...

except to consider how much
or how many will survive.
