00:09:16,990 continue to see possibly an 223 00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:19,126 alien influence causing some of 224 00:09:19,126 --> 00:09:22,129 these events to happen. 225 00:09:22,129 --> 00:09:24,131 The flood stories are really 226 00:09:24,131 --> 00:09:25,265 very interesting. 227 00:09:25,265 --> 00:09:27,601 You find them in the Bible. 228 00:09:27,635 --> 00:09:29,770 What they all say is that this 229 00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:31,071 extraterrestrial race-- the 230 00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:32,305 angels, the gods, whatever we 231 00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:34,307 want to call them today-- they 232 00:09:34,307 --> 00:09:35,809 basically just got tired of 233 00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:38,646 humanity. 234 00:09:38,646 --> 00:09:42,650 They became noisy, rebellious. 235 00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,752 And it was just time to wipe 236 00:09:44,752 --> 00:09:48,021 them out. 237 00:09:48,021 --> 00:09:49,322 >> NOORY: It's very possible 238 00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:51,959 that the aliens decided that in 239 00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:54,127 order to cleanse the planet, 240 00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:56,096 they needed to do things of 241 00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:59,032 huge magnitude, like the flood 242 00:09:59,032 --> 00:10:00,768 that the Bible talks about as 243 00:10:00,768 --> 00:10:03,403 Noah. 244 00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:05,172 God came down to him and said 245 00:10:05,172 --> 00:10:07,675 he was going to punish mankind. 246 00:10:07,675 --> 00:10:09,309 "Noah, you are good, and I want 247 00:10:09,309 --> 00:10:12,145 you to build this massive ark 248 00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:14,815 and collect all these animals, a 249 00:10:14,815 --> 00:10:16,316 male and female, and you put 250 00:10:16,316 --> 00:10:19,152 them in this boat and you float 251 00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:21,121 away. 252 00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:23,156 And you start all over again." 253 00:10:26,694 --> 00:10:27,961 >> PHILIP COPPENS: When we come 254 00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:30,063 in the Bible and we see Noah, we 255 00:10:30,063 --> 00:10:31,398 find that he somehow knows the 256 00:10:31,398 --> 00:10:33,400 future, whereas nobody else on 257 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,302 Earth seems to know this. 258 00:10:37,705 --> 00:10:39,139 But specifically, he has been 259 00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:41,008 given blueprints, somehow a 260 00:10:41,008 --> 00:10:43,143 device whereby he can survive 261 00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:44,978 this catastrophe. 262 00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,113 Now, that is something very 263 00:10:46,113 --> 00:10:48,248 specific, which singles Noah 264 00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:51,184 out as being a person who might 265 00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:53,320 have had exposure to ancient 266 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,923 aliens. 267 00:10:55,956 --> 00:10:57,090 >> TSOUKALOS: Maybe the 268 00:10:57,090 --> 00:10:59,126 extraterrestrials created some 269 00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:02,362 type of a catastrophe. 270 00:11:02,362 --> 00:11:04,397 But it's also possible that the 271 00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:08,368 flood itself was a natural 272 00:11:08,368 --> 00:11:10,237 disaster... 273 00:11:10,237 --> 00:11:12,873 and extraterrestrials warned 274 00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:15,075 the local population about this 275 00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:17,978 impending massive flood. 276 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:23,150 Extraterrestrials ensured our 277 00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:26,019 continued survival. 278 00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,187 >> NARRATOR: Could there be a 279 00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,089 reason why humans have survived 280 00:11:29,089 --> 00:11:31,258 such disasters time and time 281 00:11:31,258 --> 00:11:32,893 again? 282 00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:35,095 And is it really possible that 283 00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:36,830 the great flood and other 284 00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:39,066 cataclysmic extinction events 285 00:11:39,066 --> 00:11:40,067 were caused by 286 00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:47,040 extraterrestrials? 287 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,043 >> NARRATOR: Indonesia. 288 00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:53,080 2004. 289 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,816 A massive underwater earthquake 290 00:11:55,816 --> 00:12:00,020 produces a tsunami that kills 291 00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:05,425 over 230,000 people in 14 292 00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:06,526 coastal countries. 293 00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:09,096 (man shouting) 294 00:12:09,096 --> 00:12:10,764 It was one of the deadliest 295 00:12:10,764 --> 00:12:12,900 natural disasters in recorded 296 00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,802 history. 297 00:12:18,005 --> 00:12:20,007 Geologists determine that the 298 00:12:20,007 --> 00:12:21,374 violent movement of tectonic 299 00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:22,943 plates on the floor of the 300 00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:25,145 Indian Ocean created lethal 301 00:12:25,145 --> 00:12:27,380 tidal waves measuring a height 302 00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:29,950 of nearly 100 feet. 303 00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:32,185 (people screaming) 304 00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,921 >> DENNIN: Tsunamis are 305 00:12:33,921 --> 00:12:36,857 basically super tidal waves. 306 00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:38,892 And it really comes down to, at 307 00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:40,961 its simplest level, is how much 308 00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:43,063 energy is put into the ocean at 309 00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:44,097 the point that generates the 310 00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,099 tidal wave. 311 00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,035 And the water gets displaced, 312 00:12:48,035 --> 00:12:49,336 and it actually forms a wave 313 00:12:49,336 --> 00:12:50,904 that can be very coherent and 314 00:12:50,904 --> 00:12:52,272 travel for large distances, and 315 00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:53,373 will eventually hit the shore 316 00:12:53,373 --> 00:12:56,143 somewhere. 317 00:12:56,143 --> 00:12:57,244 >> NARRATOR: But just days 318 00:12:57,244 --> 00:12:59,246 before the disaster, several 319 00:12:59,246 --> 00:13:00,981 eyewitnesses reported seeing 320 00:13:00,981 --> 00:13:02,582 strange unidentified flying 321 00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:04,451 objects to the India Daily 322 00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:07,220 newspaper. 323 00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,155 >> BRAMLEY: People were 324 00:13:08,155 --> 00:13:10,090 reporting seeing bright lights 325 00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:12,492 in the sky prior to and 326 00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:14,161 during that tsunami. 327 00:13:14,161 --> 00:13:15,963 Scientists think that that's 328 00:13:15,963 --> 00:13:17,330 just maybe the tectonic plates 329 00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,332 are rubbing each other, and 330 00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:20,968 that there's so much friction 331 00:13:20,968 --> 00:13:24,171 that they're giving off a glow. 332 00:13:24,171 --> 00:13:25,205 >> NARRATOR: Known as 333 00:13:25,205 --> 00:13:29,176 earthquake lights, mainstream 334 00:13:29,176 --> 00:13:31,144 scientists have been studying 335 00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:32,345 these phenomena since they were 336 00:13:32,345 --> 00:13:34,481 first photographed in Japan in 337 00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:37,517 the 1960s. 338 00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:39,319 But although there are many 339 00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,288 theories as to their cause, 340 00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,590 there has been, as yet, no 341 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:45,959 viable explanation. 342 00:13:45,959 --> 00:13:47,094 >> COPPENS: What is becoming 343 00:13:47,094 --> 00:13:49,496 very apparent is that UFO 344 00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:52,199 activity and tectonic activity 345 00:13:52,199 --> 00:13:53,934 go hand in hand. 346 00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,168 Now, there are an awful lot of 347 00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:56,469 questions to be asked here and 348 00:13:56,469 --> 00:13:58,171 science needs to answer an 349 00:13:58,171 --> 00:13:59,506 awful lot of them. 350 00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:01,408 The central question is this: 351 00:14:01,408 --> 00:14:04,477 Is this UFO phenomenon just a 352 00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:06,179 byproduct of the tectonic 353 00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,281 activity? 354 00:14:13,053 --> 00:14:14,187 >> NARRATOR: Iceland. 355 00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:16,556 April, 2010. 356 00:14:16,556 --> 00:14:18,225 One of the country's largest 357 00:14:18,225 --> 00:14:20,260 volcanoes erupts for the first 358 00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:24,231 time in nearly two centuries. 359 00:14:24,231 --> 00:14:26,466 In the aftermath of the blast, 360 00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:29,202 Sky News captured footage of an 361 00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:31,671 unusual V-shaped flying object 362 00:14:31,671 --> 00:14:33,506 amongst the plume of smoke and 363 00:14:33,506 --> 00:14:36,543 ash. 364 00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:37,377 >> COPPENS: An awful lot of 365 00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:39,346 video material was taken of 366 00:14:39,346 --> 00:14:40,647 this volcanic eruption. 367 00:14:40,647 --> 00:14:42,415 And some of it clearly shows an 368 00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:44,217 anomalous object hovering 369 00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:47,120 roughly around the volcano. 370 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,056 This object is clearly under 371 00:14:49,056 --> 00:14:50,423 intelligent control. 372 00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:52,492 And from what we see on the 373 00:14:52,492 --> 00:14:54,327 video, it's also apparent that 374 00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:56,063 this isn't birds, as some 375 00:14:56,063 --> 00:14:57,230 skeptics have been trying to 376 00:14:57,230 --> 00:15:01,134 argue. 377 00:15:01,134 --> 00:15:02,002 >> NARRATOR: According to 378 00:15:02,002 --> 00:15:04,304 scientists, volcanic eruptions 379 00:15:04,304 --> 00:15:06,639 are natural events that occur 380 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:08,175 when rocks deep within the 381 00:15:08,175 --> 00:15:10,310 Earth become so hot, they melt 382 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:13,446 and form magma. 383 00:15:13,446 --> 00:15:15,182 >> DENNIN: Basically, you build 384 00:15:15,182 --> 00:15:16,583 up a lot of pressure in the 385 00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:18,418 magma in the location where the 386 00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,120 volcano is, and it has a point 387 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,388 where it can release, and then 388 00:15:21,388 --> 00:15:23,123 that magma and the hot gases 389 00:15:23,123 --> 00:15:24,391 and the hot lava all kind of 390 00:15:24,391 --> 00:15:27,961 erupt out through the top. 391 00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:29,429 >> NARRATOR: Still, some 392 00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:31,564 researchers believe there is a 393 00:15:31,564 --> 00:15:33,233 high correlation between 394 00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:35,202 catastrophic events and the 395 00:15:35,202 --> 00:15:38,138 appearance of UFOs. 396 00:15:38,138 --> 00:15:39,139 >> COPPENS: The fact that we 397 00:15:39,139 --> 00:15:41,441 have UFOs before and sometimes 398 00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:43,343 during these events, whether 399 00:15:43,343 --> 00:15:45,245 it's tsunami or earthquakes, 400 00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:47,147 clearly shows that something is 401 00:15:47,147 --> 00:15:48,115 present. 402 00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:49,149 Now, the question is: are they 403 00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:51,151 just monitoring it or are they 404 00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:52,719 actually somehow involved with 405 00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:53,320 it? 406 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,055 Are they causing it? 407 00:15:57,490 --> 00:15:59,059 >> BRAMLEY: Is there a way 408 00:15:59,059 --> 00:16:01,728 that you can trigger a volcano? 409 00:16:01,728 --> 00:16:03,130 For example, let's say it's 410 00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:04,564 sort of on the verge anyway. 411 00:16:04,564 --> 00:16:06,199 Is there something you can do 412 00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:09,069 technologically to either 413 00:16:09,069 --> 00:16:11,071 trigger it or to make it worse? 414 00:16:11,071 --> 00:16:12,205 We don't know. 415 00:16:12,205 --> 00:16:14,207 We just see this apparent 416 00:16:14,207 --> 00:16:16,043 foreknowledge of an event like 417 00:16:16,043 --> 00:16:16,576 that happening. 418 00:16:16,576 --> 00:16:18,545 The UFO shows up, the event 419 00:16:18,545 --> 00:16:20,513 happens. 420 00:16:20,513 --> 00:16:21,381 >> NARRATOR: According to 421 00:16:21,381 --> 00:16:23,416 ancient astronaut theorists, 422 00:16:23,416 --> 00:16:25,252 alien spacecraft have been 423 00:16:25,252 --> 00:16:27,487 spotted at or near the sites of 424 00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:29,456 so-called natural catastrophes 425 00:16:29,456 --> 00:16:32,125 since ancient times. 426 00:16:32,125 --> 00:16:36,396 But why? 427 00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:41,168 April 14, 1561... 428 00:16:41,168 --> 00:16:43,236 Nuremberg, Germany. 429 00:16:43,236 --> 00:16:46,206 Citizens awoke at dawn to the 430 00:16:46,206 --> 00:16:48,408 spectacle of cylindrical 431 00:16:48,408 --> 00:16:51,078 objects appearing in the sky 432 00:16:51,078 --> 00:16:53,746 from which red, black, orange 433 00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:56,049 and blue disks emerged. 434 00:16:57,284 --> 00:16:59,352 According to eyewitness accounts 435 00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,554 recorded in the Nuremberg 436 00:17:01,554 --> 00:17:04,691 Gazette, tubes resembling 437 00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:07,060 cannon barrels also appeared and 438 00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:09,096 the objects began to 439 00:17:09,096 --> 00:17:11,098 "fight one another." 440 00:17:11,098 --> 00:17:14,467 After about an hour of battle, 441 00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:16,536 the entities seemed to catch 442 00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:19,239 fire and fell to Earth, where 443 00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:22,409 they turned to steam. 444 00:17:23,676 --> 00:17:26,313 Five years later, Austrian 445 00:17:26,313 --> 00:17:29,249 architect Hans Glaser created a 446 00:17:29,249 --> 00:17:31,118 woodcut detailing what he 447 00:17:31,118 --> 00:17:32,819 observed during the 448 00:17:32,819 --> 00:17:34,421 famous event. 449 00:17:34,421 --> 00:17:35,688 >> BRAMLEY: In that woodcut 450 00:17:35,688 --> 00:17:38,091 and in the eyewitness reports, 451 00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:40,127 we actually see UFOs in battle. 452 00:17:40,127 --> 00:17:41,194 They were reported actually 453 00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:42,229 fighting each other, shooting 454 00:17:42,229 --> 00:17:44,197 each other down. 455 00:17:44,231 --> 00:17:45,698 If you look at the bottom 456 00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:47,100 right-hand corner of the 457 00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:48,335 woodcut, you will actually see 458 00:17:48,335 --> 00:17:49,736 a couple of circles in the 459 00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:51,271 ground, giving off smoke. 460 00:17:51,271 --> 00:17:52,505 They've obviously crashed. 461 00:17:52,505 --> 00:17:54,474 They have been shot down. 462 00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:56,243 That is very interesting, 463 00:17:56,243 --> 00:17:57,877 because it shows that the 464 00:17:57,877 --> 00:17:59,746 pattern of aggression amongst 465 00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:01,614 the UFOs, has been going on for 466 00:18:01,614 --> 00:18:03,383 a long time. 467 00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:04,484 >> NARRATOR: To some ancient 468 00:18:04,484 --> 00:18:08,255 astronaut theorists, the 540- 469 00:18:08,255 --> 00:18:10,323 year-old woodcut is evidence of 470 00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:12,792 an alien cosmic war. 471 00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:16,296 And in fact, they claim 472 00:18:16,296 --> 00:18:18,131 similar hostile events have 473 00:18:18,131 --> 00:18:19,566 occurred in human history 474 00:18:19,566 --> 00:18:23,203 for centuries. 475 00:18:23,203 --> 00:18:24,904 >> BRAMLEY: The evidence 476 00:18:24,904 --> 00:18:26,406 from the record, 477 00:18:26,406 --> 00:18:28,508 from eyewitness testimony, 478 00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:30,143 shows a connection between the 479 00:18:30,143 --> 00:18:32,179 UFO and a thinning effort, 480 00:18:32,179 --> 00:18:34,181 where there's apparently a 481 00:18:34,181 --> 00:18:36,916 wanton intention to wipe out 482 00:18:36,916 --> 00:18:38,318 or thin out the human race. 483 00:18:38,318 --> 00:18:39,319 For example, during the 484 00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:40,587 plague years, there were a 485 00:18:40,587 --> 00:18:42,889 lot of UFO reports about 486 00:18:42,889 --> 00:18:44,791 bright lights in the sky that 487 00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:45,792 were spreading gas. 488 00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:47,760 And people were reporting 489 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,162 that these gasses were 490 00:18:49,162 --> 00:18:49,929 actually the cause of the 491 00:18:49,929 --> 00:18:52,832 plague. 492 00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:55,568 >> NARRATOR: But could there 493 00:18:55,568 --> 00:18:57,204 really be a connection between 494 00:18:57,204 --> 00:18:59,272 eyewitness accounts of alien 495 00:18:59,272 --> 00:19:01,841 space wars and the recent 496 00:19:01,841 --> 00:19:04,277 sightings of UFOs during 497 00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:05,645 Earth's so-called natural 498 00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:08,648 catastrophes? 499 00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,717 And is there any proof that 500 00:19:10,717 --> 00:19:12,319 alien visitors are involved in 501 00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,188 creating cataclysmic events in 502 00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:17,224 a sinister effort to control 503 00:19:17,224 --> 00:19:18,958 or "thin out" Earth's 504 00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:25,832 population? 505 00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:29,202 >> NARRATOR: 2005, Florence, 506 00:19:29,202 --> 00:19:30,270 Italy. 507 00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,339 Beyond a hidden staircase 508 00:19:32,339 --> 00:19:34,974 in the Santissima Annunziata 509 00:19:34,974 --> 00:19:37,244 convent, researchers from 510 00:19:37,244 --> 00:19:38,845 Italy's Military Geographical 511 00:19:38,845 --> 00:19:41,348 Institute discover the secret 512 00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:45,652 workshop of Leonardo da Vinci. 513 00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:46,986 >> WILCOCK: He was the true 514 00:19:46,986 --> 00:19:49,222 archetypal Renaissance man: 515 00:19:49,222 --> 00:19:50,323 brilliant painter, 516 00:19:50,323 --> 00:19:51,891 brilliant inventor, brilliant 517 00:19:51,891 --> 00:19:54,827 poet, ambidextrous, could write 518 00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:56,263 with his left hand and his 519 00:19:56,263 --> 00:19:57,530 right hand at the same time. 520 00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:58,531 Wrote backwards instead of 521 00:19:58,531 --> 00:19:59,332 forwards. 522 00:19:59,332 --> 00:20:01,301 A very interesting guy. 523 00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:03,636 >> NARRATOR: Though da Vinci is 524 00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:04,671 renowned for his public 525 00:20:04,671 --> 00:20:06,506 paintings like the Mona Lisa 526 00:20:06,506 --> 00:20:09,008 and The Last Suppe ancient 527 00:20:09,008 --> 00:20:11,010 astronaut theorists are more 528 00:20:11,010 --> 00:20:12,545 intrigued by his private 529 00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:14,981 notebooks that contain sketches 530 00:20:14,981 --> 00:20:16,983 of futuristic military 531 00:20:16,983 --> 00:20:19,519 technology, including machine 532 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:22,989 guns, tanks, helicopters and 533 00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:25,958 even submarines. 534 00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:27,694 >> WILCOCK: It clearly seems 535 00:20:27,694 --> 00:20:29,362 that Leonardo da Vinci 536 00:20:29,362 --> 00:20:31,564 was privy to a series of 537 00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:32,999 secrets that had been handed 538 00:20:32,999 --> 00:20:35,535 down for many, many thousands 539 00:20:35,535 --> 00:20:36,903 of years. 540 00:20:36,903 --> 00:20:39,539 Da Vinci may also have 541 00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:41,508 actually been contacted by 542 00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:43,510 human-like extraterrestrials 543 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:45,011 who either spoke to him in 544 00:20:45,011 --> 00:20:46,646 person or perhaps 545 00:20:46,646 --> 00:20:48,047 telepathically and inspired 546 00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:49,982 him to do so many 547 00:20:49,982 --> 00:20:52,552 different things. 548 00:20:52,552 --> 00:20:53,553 >> BRAMLEY: We do know, 549 00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:54,721 for example, that one of 550 00:20:54,721 --> 00:20:55,722 his inventions was a 551 00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:56,656 circular car. 552 00:20:56,656 --> 00:20:59,492 It looks kind of like a UFO. 553 00:20:59,526 --> 00:21:01,594 Now, he's also into inventing 554 00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:02,929 weapons. 555 00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:04,964 And did that come from the 556 00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:06,599 fact that, the UFO has 557 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,435 demonstrated, basically, some 558 00:21:08,435 --> 00:21:10,437 aggressiveness, and did some 559 00:21:10,437 --> 00:21:12,305 of that maybe in some way rub 560 00:21:12,305 --> 00:21:14,273 off on him? 561 00:21:14,307 --> 00:21:14,807 >> WILCOCK: Were they 562 00:21:14,807 --> 00:21:16,309 trying to give him weapons that 563 00:21:16,309 --> 00:21:18,077 could be used to destroy life 564 00:21:18,077 --> 00:21:19,078 on Earth? 565 00:21:19,078 --> 00:21:21,748 That could have been possible. 566 00:21:21,748 --> 00:21:24,384 >> NARRATOR: But if Leonardo da 567 00:21:24,384 --> 00:21:25,718 Vinci did have knowledge of 568 00:21:25,718 --> 00:21:27,086 advanced weaponry, might he 569 00:21:27,086 --> 00:21:29,088 have learned of it through 570 00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:31,391 observation and study? 571 00:21:31,391 --> 00:21:33,393 Or was this knowledge given to 572 00:21:33,393 --> 00:21:35,795 him by another, perhaps 573 00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:38,931 extraterrestrial, source? 574 00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:40,900 >> TSOUKALOS: There is this book 575 00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:43,069 of prophesies which is a very 576 00:21:43,069 --> 00:21:46,105 rare book, and in there are some 577 00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:48,775 type of descriptions that could 578 00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:50,610 indicate some type of an 579 00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:53,380 extraterrestrial visitation. 580 00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:55,648 There are references 581 00:21:55,648 --> 00:21:57,817 in which da Vinci himself says 582 00:21:57,817 --> 00:22:00,820 that he's had these encounters, 583 00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:03,356 these visions of God 584 00:22:03,356 --> 00:22:04,491 and angels. 585 00:22:04,491 --> 00:22:06,025 And of course, according to the 586 00:22:06,025 --> 00:22:07,460 ancient astronaut hypothesis, 587 00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:09,028 that wasn't God, it wasn't 588 00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:10,663 angels. 589 00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:14,501 They were extraterrestrials. 590 00:22:14,501 --> 00:22:16,102 >> NARRATOR: Is it possible 591 00:22:16,102 --> 00:22:17,970 that over the centuries, 592 00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:19,372 extraterrestrials have been 593 00:22:19,372 --> 00:22:20,473 partnering with human 594 00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:23,410 collaborators; human beings 595 00:22:23,410 --> 00:22:24,477 entrusted with the kind of 596 00:22:24,477 --> 00:22:26,513 advanced scientific knowledge 597 00:22:26,513 --> 00:22:28,381 that would allow mankind to leap 598 00:22:28,381 --> 00:22:29,949 over centuries of normal 599 00:22:29,949 --> 00:22:32,952 intellectual evolution? 600 00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:34,854 To ancient astronaut theorists, 601 00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:36,989 the fact that mankind had gone 602 00:22:36,989 --> 00:22:38,858 from the horse and buggy to the 603 00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,993 Moon in less than 100 years 604 00:22:40,993 --> 00:22:43,496 makes such a notion not only 605 00:22:43,496 --> 00:22:45,031 possible, but entirely 606 00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:47,667 probable. 607

00:22:55,708 where we were sitting in caves 611 00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:57,109 munching on bananas, and the 612 00:22:57,109 --> 00:22:58,845 next thing we do is we're 613 00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:00,947 building pyramids, virtually 614 00:23:00,947 --> 00:23:02,048 overnight. 615 00:23:02,048 --> 00:23:03,049 And so that quantum leap 616 00:23:03,049 --> 00:23:05,785 can be explained with a 617 00:23:05,785 --> 00:23:07,587 direct extraterrestrial 618 00:23:07,587 --> 00:23:09,589 intervention of our past. 619 00:23:09,589 --> 00:23:11,057 >> WILCOCK: And the visitors are 620 00:23:11,057

00:23:18,097 or any of the various 624 00:23:18,097 --> 00:23:19,065 descriptions of 625 00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:20,099 extraterrestrial technology 626 00:23:20,099 --> 00:23:21,934 that you see in these ancient 627 00:23:21,934 --> 00:23:24,103 legends, and they consistently 628 00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:26,105 are trying to cultivate 629 00:23:26,105 --> 00:23:27,940 humanity in a direction that's 630 00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,742 beneficial for everyone. 631 00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:30,743 >> NARRATOR: There are many who 632 00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,111 believe extraterrestrial 633 00:23:32,111 --> 00:23:33,746 visitors might have provided 634 00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:35,948 intellectual inspiration to men 635 00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:38,084 like Albert Einstein, whose 636 00:23:38,084 --> 00:23:40,086 theories of relativity opened 637 00:23:40,086 --> 00:23:41,087 the door for the possibility of 638 00:23:41,087 --> 00:23:43,956 future travels through space 639

lives and the motivations as 651 00:24:06,879 --> 00:24:08,147 to Werner Von Braun and to why 652 00:24:08,147 --> 00:24:10,149 he wanted to take mankind into 653 00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:11,951 outer space, we are confronted 654 00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,953 with the fact that he was 655 00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:15,154 absolutely convinced that we 656 00:24:15,154 --> 00:24:17,857 had gone there before or that 657 00:24:17,857 --> 00:24:19,158 an ancient civilization had 658 00:24:19,158 --> 00:24:22,929 come from there to Earth. 659 00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:24,664 These people were motivated, and 660 00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:27,099 specifically, they wanted to 661 00:24:27,099 --> 00:24:28,668 take us to space because they 662 00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:30,136 were convinced that somehow 663 00:24:30,136 --> 00:24:31,838 they would find something 664 00:24:31,838 --> 00:24:33,005 which would completely change 665 00:24:33,005 --> 00:24:35,007 planet Earth. 666 00:24:35,007 --> 00:24:36,676 >> NARRATOR: Then there is 667 00:24:36,676 --> 00:24:38,978 Nikola Tesla, whose experiments 668 00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:41,648 with electricity led to 669 00:24:41,648 --> 00:24:42,649 everything from satellite 670 00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,851 technology and robotics to what 671 00:24:44,851 --> 00:24:47,153 some would term a "death ray." 672 00:24:47,153 --> 00:24:48,054 (zapping) 673 00:24:48,054 --> 00:24:50,056 >> DAVID SEREDA: The Tesla 674 00:24:50,056 --> 00:24:52,158 death ray, Tesla said, could 675 00:24:52,158 --> 00:24:53,826 annihilate an army of 100,000 676 00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,828 soldiers at once, and could 677 00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:57,630 melt an aircraft engine from 250 678 00:24:57,630 --> 00:24:58,798 miles away. 679 00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:01,067 When the FBI investigated 680 00:25:01,067 --> 00:25:02,201 Tesla's murder, they found 681 00:25:02,201 --> 00:25:04,737 documentation that the 682 00:25:04,737 --> 00:25:06,038 Tesla death ray was in 683 00:25:06,038 --> 00:25:08,074 development at Wright-Patterson 684 00:25:08,074 --> 00:25:10,042 Air Force Base in 1943. 685 00:25:10,076 --> 00:25:12,579 Wright-Patterson Air 686 00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:13,946 Force Base, 1943? 687 00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:15,081 Where was the Roswell flying 688 00:25:15,081 --> 00:25:16,749 saucer taken? 689 00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:18,084 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. 690 00:25:18,084 --> 00:25:19,251 So we have a connection 691 00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:22,589 to that weapon. 692 00:25:22,589 --> 00:25:23,756 >> NARRATOR: Is it possible 693 00:25:23,756 --> 00:25:25,925 that Nikola Tesla's scientific 694 00:25:25,925 --> 00:25:27,226 achievements could have been 695 00:25:27,226 --> 00:25:28,961 influenced by alien 696 00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:30,963 intelligence? 697 00:25:30,963 --> 00:25:32,932 Might other human geniuses 698 00:25:32,932 --> 00:25:34,901 throughout time have served as 699 00:25:34,901 --> 00:25:36,903 human gateways, allowing 700 00:25:36,903 --> 00:25:38,605 extraterrestrials to jump-start 701 00:25:38,605 --> 00:25:42,108 our technological advances? 702 00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:45,111 If the answer is yes, then what 703 00:25:45,111 --> 00:25:47,546 are we being prepared for? 704 00:25:52,985 --> 00:25:54,687 >> NARRATOR: The Omo River, 705 00:25:54,687 --> 00:25:57,690 Ethiopia. 706 00:25:57,690 --> 00:26:00,026 Flowing south 400 miles into 707 00:26:00,026 --> 00:26:03,229 Lake Turkana, the banks of this 708 00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:05,197 river are rich in hominid 709 00:26:05,197 --> 00:26:09,068 fossil fragments, including 710 00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:12,104 those of chimpanzees, gorillas 711 00:26:12,104 --> 00:26:14,741 and early humanoids. 712 00:26:14,741 --> 00:26:17,209 Here in 1967, 713 00:26:17,209 --> 00:26:19,045 paleoanthropologist Richard 714 00:26:19,045 --> 00:26:21,748 Leakey unearthed two partial 715 00:26:21,748 --> 00:26:23,315 human skulls. 716 00:26:23,315 --> 00:26:25,985 The remains date as far back as 717 00:26:25,985 --> 00:26:29,889 195,000 years ago, making the 718 00:26:29,889 --> 00:26:32,058 fossils the oldest evidence of 719 00:26:32,058 --> 00:26:35,061 modern humans, or Homo sapiens. 720 00:26:37,163 --> 00:26:38,297 >> DENNIN: We are constantly 721 00:26:38,297 --> 00:26:39,699 still finding new 722 00:26:39,699 --> 00:26:41,167 breakthroughs and either more 723 00:26:41,167 --> 00:26:43,169 complete skeletons or a more 724 00:26:43,169 --> 00:26:44,336 complete site. 725 00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:46,172 If we look at the fossil record, 726 00:26:46,172 --> 00:26:47,206 at some point eventually you 727 00:26:47,206 --> 00:26:48,374 find common ancestors with 728 00:26:48,374 --> 00:26:50,009 chimpanzees. 729 00:26:50,042 --> 00:26:51,210 You go back really close and 730 00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:52,244 you have Neanderthal and 731 00:26:52,244 --> 00:26:53,145 Cro-Magnon man. 732 00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:54,714 And we came out of Cro-Magnon 733 00:26:54,714 --> 00:26:56,082 man, and the Neanderthals die 734 00:26:56,082 --> 00:26:57,183 out. 735 00:26:57,183 --> 00:26:58,184 And it's a really interesting 736 00:26:58,184 --> 00:26:59,151 mystery to try and piece 737 00:26:59,151 --> 00:27:00,753 together why were we more 738 00:27:00,753 --> 00:27:04,190 successful than they were. 739 00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:05,758 >> VON D NIKEN: We are the only 740 00:27:05,758 --> 00:27:07,827 one who came out of the family 741 00:27:07,827 --> 00:27:09,261 tree with culture. 742 00:27:09,261 --> 00:27:10,730 Why? 743 00:27:10,730 --> 00:27:13,132 Evolution says by coincidence. 744 00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:15,134 We have adapted as best. 745 00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:16,268 I say no. 746 00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:18,304 It was an artificial mutation 747 00:27:18,304 --> 00:27:21,307 made out of the family tree. 748 00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:22,074 >> TSOUKALOS: And then 749 00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:23,676 overnight, we were building 750 00:27:23,676 --> 00:27:27,680 pyramids, Sumeria was created, 751 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,216 all those different high 752 00:27:30,216 --> 00:27:33,119 achievements were done 753 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,453 virtually overnight. 754 00:27:34,453 --> 00:27:36,155 So this quantum leap in 755 00:27:36,155 --> 00:27:39,692 development, this big bang of 756 00:27:39,692 --> 00:27:42,194 knowledge or intelligence, all 757 00:27:42,194 --> 00:27:45,364 of a sudden happened. 758 00:27:45,364 --> 00:27:47,099 And the ancient astronaut 759 00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:49,101 theory suggests that this is a 760 00:27:49,101 --> 00:27:50,803 direct result of 761 00:27:50,803 --> 00:27:53,139 extraterrestrials tampering 762 00:27:53,139 --> 00:27:54,140 with our DNA. 763 00:27:54,140 --> 00:27:56,108 So we're half human and half 764 00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:56,843 extraterrestrial. 765 00:27:56,843 --> 00:27:58,277 We're hybrids. 766 00:27:58,277 --> 00:27:59,278 >> WILCOCK: We have an 767 00:27:59,278 --> 00:28:01,180 incredible wealth of 768 00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,183 information, in stone, preserved 769 00:28:04,183 --> 00:28:05,752 from ancient times, that can 770 00:28:05,752 --> 00:28:07,186 lead us in a direction of 771 00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:10,056 really knowing that the ancient 772 00:28:10,056 --> 00:28:13,125 ancestors of modern humans were 773 00:28:13,125 --> 00:28:16,028 not simply born on Earth but 774 00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:19,165 came here from somewhere else. 775 00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:19,866 >> NARRATOR: But if 776 00:28:19,866 --> 00:28:21,768 extraterrestrials arrived here 777 00:28:21,768 --> 00:28:24,136 in the distant past, who were 778 00:28:24,136 --> 00:28:25,037 they? 779 00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:28,307 And why did they come here? 780 00:28:28,307 --> 00:28:30,142 Ancient astronaut theorists 781 00:28:30,142 --> 00:28:33,179 believe answers exist in early 782 00:28:33,179 --> 00:28:37,183 Sumerian texts. 783 00:28:37,183 --> 00:28:40,820 In 1849, British archaeologist 784 00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:43,489 Austen Henry Layard discovered 785 00:28:43,489 --> 00:28:46,125 22,000 clay tablets in the 786 00:28:46,125 --> 00:28:48,027 ancient Sumerian city of 787 00:28:48,027 --> 00:28:50,997 Nineveh, in an area now known 788 00:28:50,997 --> 00:28:52,364 as Iraq. 789 00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:54,300 The tablets contain cuneiform 790 00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:56,202 script, believed to be the 791 00:28:56,202 --> 00:28:58,404 earliest writing system, created 792 00:28:58,404 --> 00:29:01,073 by the Sumerians 6,000 years 793 00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:02,809 ago. 794 00:29:02,809 --> 00:29:04,076 >> NARRATOR: Author Zecharia 795 00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:06,512 Sitchin spent more than 30 years 796 00:29:06,512 --> 00:29:08,180 translating these Sumerian clay 797 00:29:08,180 --> 00:29:09,782 tablets. 798 00:29:09,782 --> 00:29:12,418 In his 1976 book The 12th 799 00:29:12,418 --> 00:29:14,887 Planet, Sitchin claims the 800 00:29:14,887 --> 00:29:16,923 cuneiform texts describe an 801 00:29:16,923 --> 00:29:19,926 alien race named the Anunnaki, 802 00:29:19,926 --> 00:29:21,227 who came to Earth from an 803 00:29:21,227 --> 00:29:22,929 undiscovered planet in our 804 00:29:22,929 --> 00:29:25,197 solar system beyond Neptune 805 00:29:25,197 --> 00:29:27,033 called Nibiru. 806 00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,067 >> JASON MARTELL: They explained 807 00:29:28,067 --> 00:29:29,068 to the Sumerians that through 808 00:29:29,068 --> 00:29:30,102 their own rise to a 809 00:29:30,102 --> 00:29:32,071 technological culture, they 810 00:29:32,071 --> 00:29:34,206 damaged their atmosphere. 811 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,075 And they came here seeking gold 812 00:29:36,075 --> 00:29:38,110 and precious elements to repair 813 00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,211 their planet's dwindling 814 00:29:39,211 --> 00:29:42,014 atmosphere. 815 00:29:42,014 --> 00:29:42,982 >> NARRATOR: According to 816 00:29:42,982 --> 00:29:45,084 Sitchin, the Anunnaki first 817 00:29:45,084 --> 00:29:49,121 visited Earth 450,000 years ago, 818 00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:52,124 during the age of Neanderthals. 819 00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:54,260 And they created Homo sapiens 820 00:29:54,260 --> 00:29:57,129 through genetic engineering to 821 00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:59,065 create a species to work and 822 00:29:59,065 --> 00:30:01,300 mine precious minerals for them. 823 00:30:03,903 --> 00:30:05,004 >> VON D NIKEN: Our forefathers 824 00:30:05,004 --> 00:30:08,074 believed that they were gods. 825 00:30:08,074 --> 00:30:10,376 And they were here on purpose. 826 00:30:10,376 --> 00:30:12,144 They wanted to make our 827 00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:13,479 primitive generation, at that 828 00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:15,281 time, intelligent. 829 00:30:15,281 --> 00:30:17,850 They wanted to plant curiosity 830 00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:20,920 into our brain. 831 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,122 And we became more developed in 832 00:30:23,122 --> 00:30:25,491 technology, in astronomy, in 833 00:30:25,491 --> 00:30:27,326 every field. 834 00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:29,061 That's what they wanted. 835 00:30:29,061 --> 00:30:31,197 The question is: why? 836 00:30:33,232 --> 00:30:34,633 >> BRAMLEY: When you look at 837 00:30:34,633 --> 00:30:36,402 the ancient creation stories, 838 00:30:36,402 --> 00:30:38,137 you find that what they said 839 00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:40,539 about our position as Homo 840 00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:42,074 sapiens is that we were 841 00:30:42,074 --> 00:30:44,010 created to be a slave race, or 842 00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:47,914 a work race. 843 00:30:47,947 --> 00:30:49,015 >> NARRATOR: According to 844 00:30:49,015 --> 00:30:50,482 Sitchin's interpretation of the 845 00:30:50,482 --> 00:30:52,985 ancient tablets, the human 846 00:30:52,985 --> 00:30:55,121 civilization in Sumer was set 847 00:30:55,121 --> 00:30:56,923 up under the guidance of the 848 00:30:56,923 --> 00:30:58,290 Anunnaki. 849 00:30:58,290 --> 00:30:59,992 And to disguise alien 850 00:30:59,992 --> 00:31:02,161 manipulation, human kings were 851 00:31:02,161 --> 00:31:03,562 inaugurated to provide 852 00:31:03,562 --> 00:31:06,098 intermediaries between mankind 853 00:31:06,098 --> 00:31:10,002 and their so-called gods. 854 00:31:10,002 --> 00:31:13,305 Then, around 3,000 B.C., 855 00:31:13,305 --> 00:31:15,141 humans began building stone 856 00:31:15,141 --> 00:31:18,144 monuments, such as Stonehenge 857 00:31:18,144 --> 00:31:20,379 and the Egyptian pyramids. 858 00:31:20,379 --> 00:31:22,448 For mainstream historians, the 859 00:31:22,448 --> 00:31:24,450 physical ability and know-how 860 00:31:24,450 --> 00:31:26,185 to construct these megalithic 861 00:31:26,185 --> 00:31:29,088 sites remains a mystery. 862 00:31:29,088 --> 00:31:30,923 But ancient astronaut theorists 863 00:31:30,923 --> 00:31:33,159 contend that megaton stone 864 00:31:33,159 --> 00:31:35,561 monuments were erected by human 865 00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:38,097 laborers aided with alien 866 00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:40,232 technology. 867 00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:41,233 >> TSOUKALOS: And what do the 868 00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:43,202 ancient texts say about ancient 869 00:31:43,202 --> 00:31:44,170 Sumeria? 870 00:31:44,170 --> 00:31:46,072 That none of this could've been 871 00:31:46,072 --> 00:31:48,407 possible without the help of 872 00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:50,409 the gods, or in their case, the 873 00:31:50,409 --> 00:31:52,411 Anunnaki, which means "those 874 00:31:52,411 --> 00:31:55,481 who from the heavens came." 875 00:31:55,481 --> 00:31:57,216 >> MARTELL: Many cultures had a 876 00:31:57,216 --> 00:31:58,450 time when they interacted with 877 00:31:58,450 --> 00:31:59,718 their living gods. 878 00:31:59,718 --> 00:32:01,653 So who were those gods? 879 00:32:01,687 --> 00:32:03,055 In my mind, they were 880 00:32:03,055 --> 00:32:04,991 misrepresented advanced 881 00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:06,358 extraterrestrials, and they 882 00:32:06,358 --> 00:32:08,227 brought forth the technology to 883 00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:10,362 build the monuments we see, such 884 00:32:10,362 --> 00:32:12,999 as Giza or all across Bolivia, 885 00:32:12,999 --> 00:32:16,135 Peru and

889 00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:23,175 ancient Anunnaki astronauts 890 00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:24,243 carried out breeding 891 00:32:24,243 --> 00:32:26,178 experiments to improve the 892 00:32:26,178 --> 00:32:29,181 species of laborers. 893 00:32:29,181 --> 00:32:30,449 But to keep the human 894 00:32:30,449 --> 00:32:32,484 population at bay and correct 895 00:32:32,484 --> 00:32:36,155 genetic mistakes, the aliens 896 00:32:36,155 --> 00:32:37,223 orchestrated so-called 897 00:32:37,223 --> 00:32:39,391 natural catastrophes. 898 00:32:39,391 --> 00:32:43,229 (thunder rumbling) 899 00:32:43,229 --> 00:32:45,097 >> MARTELL: The Anunnaki saw 900 00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:46,632 the Neanderthal man naturally 901 00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:48,234 evolving here on Earth and just 902 00:32:48,234 --> 00:32:50,169 decided to put their genetic 903 00:32:50,169 --> 00:32:51,570 marker on it. 904 00:32:51,570 --> 00:32:53,305 Meaning, they took 80% of 905 00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:55,707 their genes and 20% of 906 00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:58,177 the hominoid that was here and 907 00:32:58,177 --> 00:32:59,545 created us in their image and 908 00:32:59,545 --> 00:33:02,048 after their likeness. 909 00:33:02,048 --> 00:33:03,149 >> WILCOCK: And this was 910 00:33:03,149 --> 00:33:04,183 essentially when modern 911 00:33:04,183 --> 00:33:06,318 humanity was born and starts 912 00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:08,187 to show up in the fossil record. 913 00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,722 It wasn't until 75,000 years 914 00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:12,491 ago that you have this super 915 00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:14,260 volcano that goes off in Lake 916 00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:16,062 Toba. 917 00:33:16,095 --> 00:33:17,529 And in the aftermath of that 918 00:33:17,529 --> 00:33:19,298 great cataclysm, it appears that 919 00:33:19,298 --> 00:33:20,532 we went through further genetic 920 00:33:20,532 --> 00:33:22,134 modifications. 921 00:33:22,134 --> 00:33:24,070 Very, very powerful E.T.'s 922 00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:27,806 came in and upgraded our DNA. 923 00:33:27,806 --> 00:33:29,208 >> NOORY: They probably figured, 924 00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:30,109 "You know, there's something 925 00:33:30,109 --> 00:33:31,310 wrong with this species." 926 00:33:31,310 --> 00:33:33,145 So, they probably create these 927 00:33:33,145 --> 00:33:35,714 disasters like the flood. 928 00:33:35,714 --> 00:33:37,383 And then of course, there's 929 00:33:37,383 --> 00:33:38,317 always that biblical 930 00:33:38,317 --> 00:33:39,485 perspective, and people believe 931 00:33:39,485 --> 00:33:41,453 God did it. 932 00:33:41,487 --> 00:33:43,689 Well, God could have been the 933 00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:45,324 extraterrestrials, could have 934 00:33:45,324 --> 00:33:48,527 created that somehow. 935 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,096 It's very possible and very 936 00:33:50,096 --> 00:33:51,330 likely that in order to 937 00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:53,565 eradicate a species, that they 938 00:33:53,565 --> 00:33:55,367 may have genetically altered 939 00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:57,336 themselves and screwed up with, 940 00:33:57,336 --> 00:33:59,338 that they needed to get rid of 941 00:33:59,338 --> 00:34:01,507 them and start all over again. 942 00:34:01,507 --> 00:34:02,608 >> TSOUKALOS: The ultimate 943 00:34:02,608 --> 00:34:04,110 proof for the ancient 944 00:34:04,110 -->

00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:22,161 ancient texts are saying-- 952 00:34:22,161 --> 00:34:23,562 that we were created 953 00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:26,698 in the image of the gods. 954 00:34:29,568 -->

00:37:30,482 And I was dumbstruck by the fact 1035 00:37:30,482 --> 00:37:31,817 that this was convincing 1036 00:37:31,817 --> 00:37:33,819 evidence. 1037 00:37:33,819 --> 00:37:35,654 >> BRAMLEY:

years, 1041 00:37:41,660 --> 00:37:43,929 perhaps longer, is that when 1042 00:37:43,929 --> 00:37:45,597 they abduct people, it's not 1043 00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:46,498 just an experiment. 1044 00:37:46,498 --> 00:37:48,667 They are actually engaged in a 1045 00:37:48,667 --> 00:37:51,803 very intense, very involved 1046 00:37:51,803 --> 00:37:55,807 program of genetic breeding 1047

00:38:01,413 --> 00:38:03,081 have gotten to the point of this 1051 00:38:03,081 --> 00:38:06,352 massive program of creating 1052 00:38:06,352 --> 00:38:07,586 hybrids where now the hybrids 1053 00:38:07,586 --> 00:38:09,821 look like us quite a bit. 1054 00:38:09,821 --> 00:38:11,990 But behaviorally, 1055 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:13,959 psychologically, they are 1056 00:38:13,959 -->

that the 1073 00:38:49,361 --> 00:38:50,996 hybrids were being integrated 1074 00:38:50,996 --> 00:38:54,065 into society, unnoticed by 1075 00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:58,003 humans. 1076 00:38:58,003 --> 00:38:59,638 >> BRAMLEY: To me, this is 1077 00:38:59,638 --> 00:39:01,973 possible evidence of the plan to 1078 00:39:01,973 --> 00:39:04,042 do another thinning; to kind of 1079 00:39:04,042 --> 00:39:07,012 make room for this new jump from 1080 00:39:07,012 --> 00:39:09,648 modern Homo sapiens to whatever 1081 00:39:09,648 --> 00:39:11,483 we're gonna call this new 1082 00:39:11,483 --> 00:39:13,018 Homo sapiens. 1083 00:39:13,018 --> 00:39:15,454 That is the potential future 1084 00:39:15,454 --> 00:39:17,656 apocalypse involving the alien 1085 00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:18,624 presence. 1086 00:39:18,624 --> 00:39:20,626 And that's where I see some 1087 00:39:20,626 --> 00:39:22,060 danger signs. 1088 00:39:25,431 --> 00:39:26,898 >> JACOBS: Some people think 1089 00:39:26,898 --> 00:39:28,133 that these beings are 1090 00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:30,436 benevolent, that they are here 1091 00:39:30,436 --> 00:39:32,471 to help us, to stop war, cure 1092 00:39:32,471 --> 00:39:34,906 cancer, that they are here for 1093 00:39:34,906 --> 00:39:36,408 reasons that have everything to 1094 00:39:36,408 --> 00:39:38,544 do with us and very little to do 1095 00:39:38,544 --> 00:39:40,045 with them. 1096 00:39:40,078 --> 00:39:41,813 I don't see benevolence here. 1097 00:39:41,813 --> 00:39:43,549 I don't see malevolence. 1098 00:39:43,549 --> 00:39:45,417 But I see the furthering of an 1099 00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:48,420 alien agenda of which we do not 1100 00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:50,556 know the future. 1101 00:39:50,589 --> 00:39:52,591 >> BULLARD: Some people 1102 00:39:52,591 --> 00:39:53,925 have theorized that the 1103 00:39:53,925 --> 00:39:55,761 creation of an alien hybrid 1104 00:39:55,761 --> 00:39:57,429 race might be a way of 1105 00:39:57,429 --> 00:39:58,764 accomplishing a better age 1106 00:39:58,764 --> 00:40:00,766 on Earth. 1107 00:40:00,799 --> 00:40:02,434 And there are some abductees 1108 00:40:02,434 --> 00:40:05,003 who even bring back predictions 1109 00:40:05,003 --> 00:40:06,104 that there will be a time 1110 00:40:06,104 --> 00:40:08,006 called "The Change" when 1111 00:40:08,006 --> 00:40:10,108 there will be aliens and humans 1112 00:40:10,108 --> 00:40:12,077 living together on Earth as 1113 00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:15,113 if it were a return of the age 1114 00:40:15,113 --> 00:40:16,948 of paradise. 1115 00:40:16,948 --> 00:40:18,650 There are others who think 1116 00:40:18,650 --> 00:40:19,951 that they are coming to 1117 00:40:19,951 --> 00:40:21,219 create a better Earth. 1118 00:40:21,219 --> 00:40:23,021 Some think they are coming to 1119 00:40:23,021 --> 00:40:25,624 take over the Earth. 1120 00:40:30,228 --> 00:40:32,063 >> JACOBS: We really don't know 1121 00:40:32,063 --> 00:40:33,965 the alien agenda. 1122 00:40:33,965 --> 00:40:35,634 We do know that they have been 1123 00:40:35,634 --> 00:40:37,803 telling abductees for a long 1124 00:40:37,803 --> 00:40:41,072 time that soon everybody will 1125 00:40:41,072 --> 00:40:41,973 be happy. 1126 00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:43,241 Soon everyone will know 1127 00:40:43,241 --> 00:40:44,109 their place. 1128 00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:46,111 Soon we will all be together. 1129 00:40:46,111 --> 00:40:47,979 >> TSOUKALOS: This has been 1130 00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:49,080 going on for thousands 1131 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,583 of years with the creation of 1132 00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:53,852 Homo sapiens. 1133 00:40:53,852 --> 00:40:55,987 I mean, from the very get-go. 1134 00:40:56,021 --> 00:40:58,924 So to suggest that now is the 1135 00:40:58,924 --> 00:41:00,992 time where, you know, a new 1136 00:41:00,992 --> 00:41:03,028 hybrid extraterrestrial 1137 00:41:03,028 --> 00:41:05,731 Homo sapiens will emerge in this 1138 00:41:05,731 --> 00:41:08,466 new age of consciousness... 1139 00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:11,002 No, no, it won't. 1140 00:41:11,002 --> 00:41:14,072 We already are hybrids. 1141 00:41:14,072 --> 00:41:15,974 We already are part 1142 00:41:15,974 --> 00:41:20,011 extraterrestrial and part human. 1143 00:41:20,011 --> 00:41:22,080 >> NARRATOR: Human and alien 1144 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,515 hybrids? 1145 00:41:23,515 --> 00:41:25,751 Extraterrestrial engineering 1146 00:41:25,751 --> 00:41:27,085 designed to weed out excessive 1147 00:41:27,085 --> 00:41:28,754 population growth? 1148 00:41:28,754 --> 00:41:30,556 Or perhaps to exterminate 1149 00:41:30,556 --> 00:41:34,025 inferior genetic strains? 1150 00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:36,061 Might geological catastrophes 1151 00:41:36,061 --> 00:41:38,530 and meteorological calamities 1152 00:41:38,530 --> 00:41:41,066 be the work of unseen, 1153 00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:42,634 perhaps alien, hands? 1154 00:41:42,634 --> 00:41:45,637 For skeptics, the answer is a 1155 00:41:45,637 --> 00:41:47,739 resounding "No." 1156 00:41:47,739 --> 00:41:51,142 all of our questions about the 1157 00:41:51,142 --> 00:41:53,011 alien agenda finally be 1158 00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:54,279 answered? 1159 00:41:54,279 --> 00:41:56,281 Perhaps only those of us who 1160 00:41:56,281 --> 00:41:58,717 survive on that date will 1161 00:41:58,717 --> 00:42:00,185 ever learn the truth. 1162 00:42:00,185 --> 00:42:01,186 Captioning sponsored by
