00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,633
NARRATOR: Certain places

2
00:00:05,634 --> 00:00:07,999
around the globe have baffled

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,800
scientists and scholars for

4
00:00:09,801 --> 00:00:11,733
decades...

5
00:00:11,734 --> 00:00:13,933
locations with names like the

6
00:00:13,934 --> 00:00:15,666
Zone of Silence...

7
00:00:15,667 --> 00:00:17,600
the Gate of the Gods...

8
00:00:17,601 --> 00:00:20,066
and the Bermuda Triangle.

9
00:00:20,067 --> 00:00:21,666
Visitors to these mysterious

10
00:00:21,667 --> 00:00:23,867
sites report a variety of

11
00:00:23,868 --> 00:00:26,766
strange energies, unexplained

12
00:00:26,767 --> 00:00:28,700
disappearances,

13
00:00:28,701 --> 00:00:32,132
and supernatural phenomena.

14
00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:34,333
Numerous legends describe "star

15
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:36,433
beings" traveling in and out

16
00:00:36,434 --> 00:00:37,766
of these places from other

17
00:00:37,767 --> 00:00:39,299
worlds.

18
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,566
Might these myths be describing

19
00:00:41,567 --> 00:00:43,967
real events?

20
00:00:43,968 --> 00:00:45,399
Have the strange energies in

21
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,800
these locations been attracting

22
00:00:47,801 --> 00:00:48,967
visitors from other worlds for

23
00:00:48,968 --> 00:00:51,333
thousands of years?

24
00:00:51,334 --> 00:00:53,266
An alien coming here 10,000

25
00:00:53,267 --> 00:00:55,333
years ago could use the magnetic

26
00:00:55,334 --> 00:00:58,533
spots on Earth as signposts.

27
00:00:58,534 --> 00:00:59,900
They have to enter through

28
00:00:59,901 --> 00:01:01,566
certain doorways and portals

29
00:01:01,567 --> 00:01:02,700
into our planet.

30
00:01:02,701 --> 00:01:03,933
NARRATOR: And is there a

31
00:01:03,934 --> 00:01:05,500
pattern to where these spots are

32
00:01:05,501 --> 00:01:06,700
located?

33
00:01:06,701 --> 00:01:08,766
Somebody told them, "Use the

34
00:01:08,767 --> 00:01:11,132
word "star" for your village,

35
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:14,132
for eternity; don't change it."

36
00:01:14,133 --> 00:01:15,333
NARRATOR: Millions of people

37
00:01:15,334 --> 00:01:17,066
around the globe believe we

38
00:01:17,067 --> 00:01:18,466
have been visited in the past

39
00:01:18,467 --> 00:01:21,166
by extraterrestrial beings.

40
00:01:21,167 --> 00:01:24,066
What if it were true?

41
00:01:24,067 --> 00:01:26,066
Did ancient aliens really help

42
00:01:26,067 --> 00:01:27,766
to shape our world?

43
00:01:27,767 --> 00:01:30,600
And if so, did they concentrate

44
00:01:30,601 --> 00:01:33,633
around specific locations?

45
00:01:33,634 --> 00:01:35,333
Could a better understanding of

46
00:01:35,334 --> 00:01:38,333
ancient alien visitation unlock

47
00:01:38,334 --> 00:01:40,166
the secrets behind some of the

48
00:01:40,167 --> 00:01:41,733
world's most mysterious

49
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:43,733
places?

53
00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:17,967
NARRATOR: Perhaps the most

54
00:02:17,968 --> 00:02:20,199
famous, or infamous, of all the

55
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,766
world's mysterious places is the

56
00:02:22,767 --> 00:02:25,266
Bermuda Triangle.

57
00:02:25,267 --> 00:02:26,700
For decades, this stretch of

58
00:02:26,701 --> 00:02:29,266
ocean, covering over 500,000

59
00:02:29,267 --> 00:02:31,633
square miles, located between

60
00:02:31,634 --> 00:02:34,700
Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda,

61
00:02:34,701 --> 00:02:36,867
has baffled scientists,

62
00:02:36,868 --> 00:02:39,099
experienced sailors, and even

63
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:41,033
military investigators.

64
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,166
PHILIP COPPENS: Planes

65
00:02:42,167 --> 00:02:44,700
disappearing, various kinds of

66
00:02:44,701 --> 00:02:47,066
strange lights being seen, a

67
00:02:47,067 --> 00:02:49,500
whole bunch of weirdness, all

68
00:02:49,501 --> 00:02:50,933
conglomerating into this very

69
00:02:50,934 --> 00:02:52,666
tight corner of the Atlantic.

70
00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:54,032
MICHAEL BARA: Ships that have

71
00:02:54,033 --> 00:02:55,933
shown up absolutely empty.

72
00:02:55,934 --> 00:02:58,032
No sign of any struggle, and

73
00:02:58,033 --> 00:03:00,099
yet the crew has just vanished.

74
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:01,199
GIAN QUASAR: This is

75
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,500
something that's very real.

76
00:03:02,501 --> 00:03:04,199
They exist in records, and now

77
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,766
that they're all gone, in fair

78
00:03:05,767 --> 00:03:07,867
weather.

79
00:03:07,868 --> 00:03:09,466
That is not supernatural

80
00:03:09,467 --> 00:03:10,600
phenomenon to me.

81
00:03:10,601 --> 00:03:14,132
That is something unexplained.

82
00:03:14,133 --> 00:03:15,800
NARRATOR: What caused ships

83
00:03:15,801 --> 00:03:17,867
and planes to disappear without

84
00:03:17,868 --> 00:03:19,399
a trace?

85
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,900
Why has aeronautical and

86
00:03:20,901 --> 00:03:22,633
navigational equipment stopped

87
00:03:22,634 --> 00:03:24,733
working or changed course by

88
00:03:24,734 --> 00:03:27,566
itself?

89
00:03:27,567 --> 00:03:29,433
Historical shipping records show

90
00:03:29,434 --> 00:03:30,933
that the mysteries of the

91
00:03:30,934 --> 00:03:33,466
Bermuda Triangle are much older

92
00:03:33,467 --> 00:03:35,800
than many people realize.

93
00:03:35,801 --> 00:03:37,967
Ever since the earliest days of

94
00:03:37,968 --> 00:03:40,633
oceanic exploration, sailors

95
00:03:40,634 --> 00:03:42,099
have witnessed strange sights.

96
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:43,266
JASON MARTELL: Really, the

97
00:03:43,267 --> 00:03:44,800
awareness of the Bermuda

98
00:03:44,801 --> 00:03:45,867
Triangle started with

99
00:03:45,868 --> 00:03:47,233
Christopher Columbus, being such

100
00:03:47,234 --> 00:03:48,700
an esoteric navigator and a

101
00:03:48,701 --> 00:03:50,999
well-respected sailor, his log

102
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,433
traversing to the New World is

103
00:03:52,434 --> 00:03:54,367
very accurate.

104
00:03:54,434 --> 00:03:55,800
And it turns out, just as

105
00:03:55,801 --> 00:03:58,199
Columbus got into the area known

106
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,500
as the Bermuda Triangle, he

107
00:03:59,501 --> 00:04:00,633
recorded having compass

108
00:04:00,634 --> 00:04:02,066
malfunctions.

109
00:04:02,067 --> 00:04:03,533
The following night he saw a

110
00:04:03,534 --> 00:04:06,399
large fireball hit the ocean.

111
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,833
COPPENS: He saw strange

112
00:04:07,834 --> 00:04:09,466
lights, he saw strange weather

113
00:04:09,467 --> 00:04:10,933
phenomena happening there.

114
00:04:10,934 --> 00:04:12,399
So it's definitely a case that

115
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,533
the story of the Bermuda

116
00:04:13,534 --> 00:04:14,933
Triangle is not just some

117
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:16,366
modern or some urban myth at

118
00:04:16,367 --> 00:04:18,166
the threshold of the 21st

119
00:04:18,167 --> 00:04:20,466
century, it is as old as there

120
00:04:20,467 --> 00:04:22,433
are accounts of people going

121
00:04:22,434 --> 00:04:24,933
into that area.

122
00:04:24,934 --> 00:04:26,566
NARRATOR: About 450 years

123
00:04:26,567 --> 00:04:29,299
after Columbus, on December 5,

124
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,666
1945, the U.S. military

125
00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:34,266
experienced the Bermuda

126
00:04:34,267 --> 00:04:35,800
Triangle's most perplexing

127
00:04:35,801 --> 00:04:37,166
mystery.

128
00:04:37,167 --> 00:04:39,299
At 2:00 in the afternoon, five

129
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:41,700
U.S. Navy torpedo bombers flew

130
00:04:41,701 --> 00:04:43,433
from a naval base in Fort

131
00:04:43,434 --> 00:04:45,399
Lauderdale, Florida, on a

132
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,199
routine training exercise.

133
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,099
But not long into the two-hour

134
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,766
mission, all five planes were

135
00:04:52,767 --> 00:04:56,666
suddenly gone.

136
00:04:56,667 --> 00:04:58,333
The mystery was compounded when

137
00:04:58,334 --> 00:05:00,633
the Navy sent out a rescue plane

138
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,968
and it, too, disappeared.

139
00:05:05,434 --> 00:05:08,132
Six planes, all flown by

140
00:05:08,133 --> 00:05:11,333
skilled pilots, had vanished

141
00:05:11,334 --> 00:05:13,199
into oblivion.

142
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,600
QUASAR: That struck everybody

143
00:05:14,601 --> 00:05:16,066
as very odd.

144
00:05:16,067 --> 00:05:17,433
This was now the modern era...

145
00:05:17,434 --> 00:05:20,099
we have radar, we have radio,

146
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:23,166
and still five aircraft

147
00:05:23,167 --> 00:05:24,399
vanished.

148
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,333
COPPENS: Now, the question

149
00:05:25,334 --> 00:05:27,500
is, where have all of them gone?

150
00:05:27,501 --> 00:05:28,933
It really is as if they have

151
00:05:28,934 --> 00:05:31,466
been snapped out of our reality

152
00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:32,800
into something else.

153
00:05:32,801 --> 00:05:33,867
And, of course, what that

154
00:05:33,868 --> 00:05:35,333
something is, that's the

155
00:05:35,334 --> 00:05:38,066
mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.

156
00:05:38,067 --> 00:05:39,466
NARRATOR: Over the years, few

157
00:05:39,467 --> 00:05:41,199
have lived to tell of any

158
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,500
strange anomalies that have

159
00:05:42,501 --> 00:05:44,366
occurred to them in the Bermuda

160
00:05:44,367 --> 00:05:46,367
Triangle.

161
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,733
But American pilot Bruce Gernon

162
00:05:50,734 --> 00:05:53,066
is an exception.

163
00:05:53,067 --> 00:05:56,867
In 1970, Gernon, his father and

164
00:05:56,868 --> 00:05:58,633
a business associate were

165
00:05:58,634 --> 00:05:59,999
flying from the Bahamas to

166
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,867
Florida when Gernon reported

167
00:06:02,868 --> 00:06:05,199
seeing a strange cloud directly

168
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,399
out in front of their plane.

169
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,600
Then, as he approached, Gernon

170
00:06:09,601 --> 00:06:11,466
claims the cloud formed a

171
00:06:11,467 --> 00:06:14,333
donut-shaped hole, or vortex.

172
00:06:14,334 --> 00:06:16,032
GERNON: The tunnel was huge

173
00:06:16,033 --> 00:06:17,800
at first, but then it started

174
00:06:17,801 --> 00:06:20,300
getting smaller rapidly.

175
00:06:20,367 --> 00:06:22,199
When I penetrated into the

176
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,266
tunnel, an incredible thing

177
00:06:24,267 --> 00:06:26,200
happened.

178
00:06:26,267 --> 00:06:28,166
These lines instantly formed.

179
00:06:28,167 --> 00:06:29,666
It was like looking down a

180
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:31,399
rifle barrel, because the lines

181
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,466
were swirling slowly

182
00:06:32,467 --> 00:06:33,733
counterclockwise.

183
00:06:33,734 --> 00:06:35,233
I encountered some intense

184
00:06:35,234 --> 00:06:36,233
electricity.

185
00:06:36,234 --> 00:06:37,800
There were, like, flashes going

186
00:06:37,801 --> 00:06:39,600
on and off.

187
00:06:39,601 --> 00:06:41,032
And all I could see was this

188
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:43,867
strange grayish-yellowish fog.

189
00:06:43,868 --> 00:06:46,833
I call it "electronic fog."

190
00:06:46,834 --> 00:06:48,233
I noticed that my instruments

191
00:06:48,234 --> 00:06:51,032
were malfunctioning, and at the

192
00:06:51,033 --> 00:06:52,766
same time, I'm feeling this

193
00:06:52,767 --> 00:06:55,867
unbelievable sensation.

194
00:06:55,868 --> 00:06:57,600
NARRATOR: Gernon says when he

195
00:06:57,601 --> 00:06:59,399
finally exited the tunnel, he

196
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,099
radioed Miami air traffic

197
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:02,800
control, but they couldn't find

198
00:07:02,801 --> 00:07:07,566
his plane on their radar screen.

199
00:07:07,567 --> 00:07:09,099
GERNON: And then about

200
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,833
three minutes later, the radar

201
00:07:10,834 --> 00:07:12,900
controller came back on the

202
00:07:12,901 --> 00:07:14,600
radio, and he's all excited.

203
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,266
He had identified me over Miami,

204
00:07:16,267 --> 00:07:17,500
and I couldn't believe it,

205
00:07:17,501 --> 00:07:18,766
'cause I'd only been flying for

206
00:07:18,767 --> 00:07:19,900
33 minutes.

207
00:07:19,901 --> 00:07:22,199
It should've been more like

208
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,433
an hour and three minutes.

209
00:07:25,434 --> 00:07:26,500
NARRATOR: Could such a

210
00:07:26,501 --> 00:07:28,066
discrepancy in time and

211
00:07:28,067 --> 00:07:32,166
location really happen?

212
00:07:32,167 --> 00:07:34,366
And could extraterrestrials be

213
00:07:34,367 --> 00:07:36,333
using this kind of gateway to

214
00:07:36,334 --> 00:07:39,132
travel to Earth?

215
00:07:39,133 --> 00:07:40,666
According to Albert Einstein's

216
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:42,833
General Theory of Relativity,

217
00:07:42,834 --> 00:07:46,666
it <i>is</i> possible.

218
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:47,633
MARTELL: Through Einstein's

219
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:48,933
principles of being able to

220
00:07:48,934 --> 00:07:50,733
bend space using a gravitational

221
00:07:50,734 --> 00:07:52,466
pull, it's very possible that

222
00:07:52,467 --> 00:07:53,999
extraterrestrial craft could

223
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,066
somehow get a higher charge of

224
00:07:56,067 --> 00:07:57,466
energy from these locations,

225
00:07:57,467 --> 00:07:58,666
like the Bermuda Triangle, which

226
00:07:58,667 --> 00:08:00,333
allow them to do a burst of

227
00:08:00,334 --> 00:08:02,066
energy, if you will, a warp

228
00:08:02,067 --> 00:08:04,032
speed, and harness some type of

229
00:08:04,033 --> 00:08:05,633
extra particles or energies from

230
00:08:05,634 --> 00:08:07,199
these locations to get them

231
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,467
where they're trying to go.

232
00:08:11,534 --> 00:08:12,999
BARA: What happens is, is

233
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,299
that any time you have energy

234
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:15,933
generated at all, especially

235
00:08:15,934 --> 00:08:17,299
from a higher plane, a higher

236
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,032
dimension, it's going to come

237
00:08:19,033 --> 00:08:20,399
out by spin.

238
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,633
It's going to be rotation and

239
00:08:21,634 --> 00:08:23,099
spin that allows that energy to

240
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,233
gate through.

241
00:08:24,234 --> 00:08:26,299
So, by definition, such energy

242
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:27,867
emissions are going to be

243
00:08:27,868 --> 00:08:29,333
vortexes.

244
00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:31,099
So a vortex and a gateway are

245
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:33,100
the same thing.

246
00:08:35,968 --> 00:08:37,433
NARRATOR: Since wormholes are

247
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:38,900
theoretically located

248
00:08:38,901 --> 00:08:40,733
throughout the universe, could

249
00:08:40,734 --> 00:08:42,500
these same types of gateways

250
00:08:42,501 --> 00:08:46,999
exist in smaller areas on Earth?

251
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,933
If so, are strange

252
00:08:48,934 --> 00:08:50,867
electromagnetic levels the key

253
00:08:50,868 --> 00:08:52,868
to discovering them?

254
00:08:54,901 --> 00:08:55,766
QUASAR: Completely

255
00:08:55,767 --> 00:08:57,066
unconnected people report the

256
00:08:57,067 --> 00:08:58,766
same thing, and it always has

257
00:08:58,767 --> 00:08:59,833
something to do with

258
00:08:59,834 --> 00:09:02,333
electromagnetic phenomenon,

259
00:09:02,334 --> 00:09:03,366
usually involving an

260
00:09:03,367 --> 00:09:06,166
unexplained vapor or cloud.

261
00:09:06,167 --> 00:09:09,166
This phenomena indicated UFOs

262
00:09:09,167 --> 00:09:10,900
materializing or

263
00:09:10,901 --> 00:09:12,333
dematerializing in our

264
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:14,367
dimension.

265
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:16,466
CHILDRESS: It's quite

266
00:09:16,467 --> 00:09:17,466
possible that the Bermuda

267
00:09:17,467 --> 00:09:19,366
Triangle is exactly one such

268
00:09:19,367 --> 00:09:21,199
interdimensional doorway that's

269
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,567
used by these aliens.

270
00:09:24,634 --> 00:09:25,633
NARRATOR: With reports of

271
00:09:25,634 --> 00:09:28,466
UFOs appearing, and ships and

272
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:31,366
planes disappearing, some claim

273
00:09:31,367 --> 00:09:33,566
the Bermuda Triangle is a portal

274
00:09:33,567 --> 00:09:36,366
that works in both directions.

275
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:38,433
So if, as ancient astronaut

276
00:09:38,434 --> 00:09:39,933
theorists claim, otherworldly

277
00:09:39,934 --> 00:09:41,933
visitors have been using them

278
00:09:41,934 --> 00:09:43,366
to come here since ancient

279
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:45,833
times, might we someday use

280
00:09:45,834 --> 00:09:48,833
this shortcut to visit them?

281
00:09:48,834 --> 00:09:51,399
And if there really is a portal

282
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,700
in the open waters of the

283
00:09:52,701 --> 00:09:55,500
Bermuda Triangle, might there

284
00:09:55,501 --> 00:09:57,868
be others on land?

285
00:10:04,501 --> 00:10:06,366
NARRATOR: 400 miles south of

286
00:10:06,367 --> 00:10:08,233
El Paso, Texas, in northern

287
00:10:08,234 --> 00:10:11,967
Mexico, stretches a remote and

288
00:10:11,968 --> 00:10:14,733
rugged section of high desert.

289
00:10:14,734 --> 00:10:17,633
This area, near the town of

290
00:10:17,634 --> 00:10:20,600
Ceballos, is referred to by the

291
00:10:20,601 --> 00:10:23,466
locals as the <i>Zona del Silencio,</i>

292
00:10:23,467 --> 00:10:27,833
or the Zone of Silence.

293
00:10:27,834 --> 00:10:29,766
It's an epicenter for some of

294
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,566
the strangest phenomena ever

295
00:10:31,567 --> 00:10:33,934
experienced on Earth.

296
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,099
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Nothing

297
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:36,166
works there.

298
00:10:36,167 --> 00:10:37,600
If you go there with your cell

299
00:10:37,601 --> 00:10:38,633
phone, the cell phone stops.

300
00:10:38,634 --> 00:10:40,066
If you go with a radio, it

301
00:10:40,067 --> 00:10:41,066
stops.

302
00:10:41,067 --> 00:10:42,500
If you go there with a compass,

303
00:10:42,501 --> 00:10:44,032
the needle just keeps spinning.

304
00:10:44,033 --> 00:10:45,299
DAVID CHILDRESS: It's

305
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:46,299
completely bizarre.

306
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:47,333
There's strange rocks

307
00:10:47,334 --> 00:10:48,366
everywhere.

308
00:10:48,367 --> 00:10:50,399
You have strange mutated animals

309
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,933
living in the desert in this

310
00:10:52,934 --> 00:10:53,933
area.

311
00:10:53,934 --> 00:10:56,800
You feel a strange tingling

312
00:10:56,801 --> 00:10:59,801
when you're there.

313
00:11:01,467 --> 00:11:04,667
(wind whistling)

314
00:11:06,734 --> 00:11:08,299
NARRATOR: The Zone of Silence

315
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:09,999
was first identified in the

316
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,066
1930s by Francisco Sarabia, a

317
00:11:13,067 --> 00:11:15,433
Mexican pilot, who claimed that

318
00:11:15,434 --> 00:11:17,166
his radio had mysteriously

319
00:11:17,167 --> 00:11:19,199
failed to function while flying

320
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,501
over the area.

321
00:11:22,567 --> 00:11:23,666
RUBEN URIARTE: They call it

322
00:11:23,667 --> 00:11:25,299
Mexico's Bermuda Triangle.

323
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:26,633
It's located practically on the

324
00:11:26,634 --> 00:11:27,967
same parallel... the 28th and

325
00:11:27,968 --> 00:11:31,266
26th parallel... and as a result

326
00:11:31,267 --> 00:11:33,032
of that, it goes and connects

327
00:11:33,033 --> 00:11:34,099
with the Egyptian pyramids,

328
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,700
so, around that whole

329
00:11:36,701 --> 00:11:38,266
sector, there seems to be some

330
00:11:38,267 --> 00:11:39,733
connection between the

331
00:11:39,734 --> 00:11:40,733
anomalies that occur through

332
00:11:40,734 --> 00:11:41,766
these different parts of the

333
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:42,766
world.

334
00:11:42,767 --> 00:11:43,800
SARA SEAGER: As a scientist,

335
00:11:43,801 --> 00:11:45,132
you're trained to be skeptical,

336
00:11:45,133 --> 00:11:46,566
or maybe you were born that way.

337
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:47,600
But we really don't believe

338
00:11:47,601 --> 00:11:48,633
anything.

339
00:11:48,634 --> 00:11:49,666
You know, nothing is proven

340
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:50,666
until you actually have

341
00:11:50,667 --> 00:11:51,666
evidence.

342
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:53,066
But I can say that Earth's

343
00:11:53,067 --> 00:11:54,500
magnetic field does vary across

344
00:11:54,501 --> 00:11:56,433
the surface by up to a few

345
00:11:56,434 --> 00:11:57,868
percent.

346
00:11:57,934 --> 00:11:59,032
NARRATOR: One of the

347
00:11:59,033 --> 00:12:01,266
strangest cases involving the

348
00:12:01,267 --> 00:12:03,600
Zone of Silence took place on

349
00:12:03,601 --> 00:12:07,299
July 11, 1970, when the U.S.

350
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:08,867
Air Force launched an Athena

351
00:12:08,868 --> 00:12:11,967
missile...

352
00:12:11,968 --> 00:12:14,032
from its military facility in

353
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:16,633
Green River, Utah.

354
00:12:16,634 --> 00:12:18,666
The missile was programmed to

355
00:12:18,667 --> 00:12:21,099
land 700 miles away at the

356
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:22,800
White Sands Missile Range

357
00:12:22,801 --> 00:12:24,066
in New Mexico.

358
00:12:24,067 --> 00:12:26,233
But for some unexplained reason,

359
00:12:26,234 --> 00:12:28,299
the Athena missile flew hundreds

360
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:30,766
of miles past the White Sands

361
00:12:30,767 --> 00:12:32,833
Range towards the Zone of

362
00:12:32,834 --> 00:12:35,834
Silence.

363
00:12:39,801 --> 00:12:41,233
BARA: Not only did it go off

364
00:12:41,234 --> 00:12:43,166
course, it way overshot, as if

365
00:12:43,167 --> 00:12:45,967
it had been picked up or yanked

366
00:12:45,968 --> 00:12:47,433
or dragged or pulled into it.

367
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:49,166
There was a NASA spokesman who

368
00:12:49,167 --> 00:12:50,266
even said it was weird.

369
00:12:50,267 --> 00:12:52,066
It was like the thing just

370
00:12:52,067 --> 00:12:53,266
got pulled into this area.

371
00:12:53,267 --> 00:12:54,933
And it ended up crashing there

372
00:12:54,934 --> 00:12:57,367
and breaking up into bits.

373
00:12:57,434 --> 00:12:58,933
NARRATOR: But some claim this

374
00:12:58,934 --> 00:13:00,633
missile is not the only thing

375
00:13:00,634 --> 00:13:02,733
that's been mysteriously pulled

376
00:13:02,734 --> 00:13:05,500
into the Zone of Silence.

377
00:13:05,501 --> 00:13:07,500
Ancient alien theorists believe

378
00:13:07,501 --> 00:13:08,933
an unusually large number of

379
00:13:08,934 --> 00:13:12,199
meteorites have crashed here.

380
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,366
CHILDRESS: The evidence seems

381
00:13:14,367 --> 00:13:15,766
to be indicating that the Zone

382
00:13:15,767 --> 00:13:18,233
of Silence is some powerful

383
00:13:18,234 --> 00:13:21,166
energy vortex area that's

384
00:13:21,167 --> 00:13:24,566
literally sucking meteorites and

385
00:13:24,567 --> 00:13:26,199
other space debris right into

386
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,800
this small area of northern

387
00:13:27,801 --> 00:13:29,968
Mexico.

388
00:13:32,801 --> 00:13:33,999
LOGAN HAWKES: There's a high

389
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,233
level of magnetism in the area.

390
00:13:35,234 --> 00:13:36,833
That's been proven by science.

391
00:13:36,834 --> 00:13:37,867
We know there's a magnetic

392
00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:40,466
signature to the entire area.

393
00:13:40,467 --> 00:13:41,933
Is it strong enough to attract

394
00:13:41,934 --> 00:13:44,433
large objects like meteorites?

395
00:13:44,434 --> 00:13:46,466
I think we need more research.

396
00:13:46,467 --> 00:13:47,933
But I-I don't think that

397
00:13:47,934 --> 00:13:49,132
research is being done right

398
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:51,100
now.

399
00:13:51,167 --> 00:13:52,733
NARRATOR: Starting 3,000

400
00:13:52,734 --> 00:13:56,066
years ago, the Anasazi culture

401
00:13:56,067 --> 00:13:57,733
inhabited the region to the

402
00:13:57,734 --> 00:13:59,900
north, in today's American

403
00:13:59,901 --> 00:14:02,333
Southwest.

404
00:14:02,334 --> 00:14:05,500
Anasazi means "ancient ones,"

405
00:14:05,501 --> 00:14:07,733
and they paid great attention

406
00:14:07,734 --> 00:14:10,700
to the stars.

407
00:14:10,701 --> 00:14:12,999
Scientists have determined that,

408
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,533
in 1054 AD, a supernova

409
00:14:16,534 --> 00:14:17,733
explosion was visible from

410
00:14:17,734 --> 00:14:20,132
Earth.

411
00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:21,867
Many believe the first known

412
00:14:21,868 --> 00:14:23,833
drawing of this event was found

413
00:14:23,834 --> 00:14:28,500
inside an Anasazi cave dwelling.

414
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:30,867
South of the Zone of Silence,

415
00:14:30,868 --> 00:14:33,099
other cultures, including the

416
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:35,999
Maya, also reportedly possessed

417
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,900
a surprisingly detailed

418
00:14:37,901 --> 00:14:38,900
knowledge of similar celestial

419
00:14:38,901 --> 00:14:40,733
events.

420
00:14:40,734 --> 00:14:43,299
Is it possible that both of

421
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:45,433
these cultures were somehow

422
00:14:45,434 --> 00:14:48,333
exchanging information?

423
00:14:48,334 --> 00:14:50,099
HAWKES: They're separated by

424
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:51,666
thousands of miles, but both

425
00:14:51,667 --> 00:14:52,933
the Anasazi of the north, and

426
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:55,333
the Mesoamericans of the south

427
00:14:55,334 --> 00:14:57,233
found the Zone of Silence and

428
00:14:57,234 --> 00:14:58,566
used it as a meeting place

429
00:14:58,567 --> 00:15:01,733
between their two cultures.

430
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:03,399
You could imagine if you studied

431
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,633
the stars at night and plotted

432
00:15:04,634 --> 00:15:05,666
the constellations, obviously,

433
00:15:05,667 --> 00:15:07,032
one of the things you're

434
00:15:07,033 --> 00:15:08,066
going to see are these

435
00:15:08,067 --> 00:15:09,066
meteorites streaking across

436
00:15:09,067 --> 00:15:10,066
the sky.

437
00:15:10,067 --> 00:15:11,500
If your answers come from the

438
00:15:11,501 --> 00:15:13,333
sky, you probably would follow

439
00:15:13,334 --> 00:15:14,967
those streaking meteorites and

440
00:15:14,968 --> 00:15:17,633
find out where they ended up.

441
00:15:17,634 --> 00:15:19,266
And the theory is that they may

442
00:15:19,267 --> 00:15:20,299
have found what they were

443
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:21,566
looking for in the Zone of

444
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:23,566
Silence.

445
00:15:23,567 --> 00:15:25,366
NARRATOR: But what other

446
00:15:25,367 --> 00:15:26,633
connections exist between these

447
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:29,999
cultures?

448
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,299
And are they of a celestial

449
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,500
origin?

450
00:15:33,501 --> 00:15:35,132
HAWKES: If we look back into

451
00:15:35,133 --> 00:15:36,199
the ancient beliefs of the

452
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,600
Anasazi and the Mesoamericans

453
00:15:37,601 --> 00:15:39,867
to the south, we know that

454
00:15:39,868 --> 00:15:41,766
there was great belief in sky

455
00:15:41,767 --> 00:15:45,833
people; visitors from the sky.

456
00:15:45,834 --> 00:15:47,600
If these visitors came from the

457
00:15:47,601 --> 00:15:49,834
sky, who were they?

458
00:15:49,901 --> 00:15:51,066
MARTELL: And there's a

459
00:15:51,067 --> 00:15:52,633
similarity to the beings being

460
00:15:52,634 --> 00:15:55,199
reported as tall, pale-skinned,

461
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,066
white hair, which is not

462
00:15:57,067 --> 00:15:58,666
indigenous to the dark-skinned,

463
00:15:58,667 --> 00:15:59,867
dark-haired people found in that

464
00:15:59,868 --> 00:16:02,733
region, but does match many of

465
00:16:02,734 --> 00:16:04,666
the South American descriptions

466
00:16:04,667 --> 00:16:07,032
of their gods.

467
00:16:07,033 --> 00:16:08,032
NARRATOR: According to

468
00:16:08,033 --> 00:16:10,566
legend, these so-called

469
00:16:10,567 --> 00:16:13,299
"Visitors from the Sky" made

470
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:14,800
themselves known to an ancient

471
00:16:14,801 --> 00:16:17,333
people.

472
00:16:17,334 --> 00:16:18,900
Is it possible that they

473
00:16:18,901 --> 00:16:19,900
are still making themselves

474
00:16:19,901 --> 00:16:22,100
known today?

475
00:16:22,167 --> 00:16:23,199
URIARTE: There are a number

476
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,032
of reports of UFOs in the Zone

477
00:16:25,033 --> 00:16:28,766
of Silence.

478
00:16:28,767 --> 00:16:29,999
HAWKES: Probably the most

479
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,967
prominent and most popular

480
00:16:31,968 --> 00:16:33,466
report came out of the town of

481
00:16:33,467 --> 00:16:34,466
Ceballos.

482
00:16:34,467 --> 00:16:35,733
It was on a late summer

483
00:16:35,734 --> 00:16:36,800
afternoon when a number of

484
00:16:36,801 --> 00:16:38,266
townspeople saw an object

485
00:16:38,267 --> 00:16:39,800
hovering in the sky on the

486
00:16:39,801 --> 00:16:41,466
outskirts of town.

487
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:42,666
They described it as being

488
00:16:42,667 --> 00:16:43,666
about 100 meters wide.

489
00:16:43,667 --> 00:16:44,666
It had multicolored lights

490
00:16:44,667 --> 00:16:45,666
flashing.

491
00:16:45,667 --> 00:16:46,666
It wasn't doing anything.

492
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:47,900
It was just hovering in the

493
00:16:47,901 --> 00:16:49,032
desert.

494
00:16:49,033 --> 00:16:50,766
After a while, it simply took

495
00:16:50,767 --> 00:16:51,999
off and headed out into the

496
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,533
Zone of Silence.

497
00:16:55,534 --> 00:16:56,967
URIARTE: I think, too, that,

498
00:16:56,968 --> 00:16:58,766
as what's going on today... the

499
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:01,500
high activity UFO sightings, the

500
00:17:01,501 --> 00:17:03,032
anomalous reports that are still

501
00:17:03,033 --> 00:17:04,633
going on today... perhaps there

502
00:17:04,634 --> 00:17:06,633
is a connection.

503
00:17:06,634 --> 00:17:08,066
Maybe it's a vortex.

504
00:17:08,067 --> 00:17:10,299
Maybe it's a dimensional port.

505
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:11,933
We can't explain it, but

506
00:17:11,934 --> 00:17:13,333
something unusual is going on

507
00:17:13,334 --> 00:17:15,199
in that area.

508
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,199
NARRATOR: Might

509
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,766
extraterrestrials be able to

510
00:17:17,767 --> 00:17:18,666
detect these magnetic

511
00:17:18,667 --> 00:17:20,299
differences?

512
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:21,999
And would they have been of

513
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,433
any use to ancient visitors?

514
00:17:25,434 --> 00:17:26,666
TSOUKALOS: If I was an alien

515
00:17:26,667 --> 00:17:28,533
coming here 10,000 years ago,

516
00:17:28,534 --> 00:17:30,233
obviously, there weren't any

517
00:17:30,234 --> 00:17:31,867
roadmaps at the time.

518
00:17:31,868 --> 00:17:33,833
However, I could use the

519
00:17:33,834 --> 00:17:36,233
anomalous magnetic spots on

520
00:17:36,234 --> 00:17:37,967
planet Earth as signposts of

521
00:17:37,968 --> 00:17:39,566
sorts.

522
00:17:39,567 --> 00:17:41,566
And so that when I come back,

523
00:17:41,567 --> 00:17:43,333
those signposts would be my

524
00:17:43,334 --> 00:17:45,700
guides to find my way around

525
00:17:45,701 --> 00:17:48,700
planet Earth.

526
00:17:48,701 --> 00:17:52,299
There are spots on planet Earth

527
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:53,566
that are highly magnetic.

528
00:17:53,567 --> 00:17:55,567
(whooshing)

529
00:17:57,167 --> 00:17:58,099
NARRATOR: But are the

530
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:00,566
magnetic levels...

531
00:18:00,567 --> 00:18:03,433
the sky-god legends...

532
00:18:03,434 --> 00:18:06,733
and recent sightings of UFOs...

533
00:18:06,734 --> 00:18:08,533
proof that a portal exists

534
00:18:08,534 --> 00:18:11,299
here?

535
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,199
And are there other places

536
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,633
that might offer more direct

537
00:18:14,634 --> 00:18:16,801
physical evidence?

538
00:18:24,767 --> 00:18:27,533
(sheep bleating)

539
00:18:27,534 --> 00:18:30,199
(bleating)

540
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,266
NARRATOR: 800 miles

541
00:18:31,267 --> 00:18:34,066
southeast of Lima, Peru, near

542
00:18:34,067 --> 00:18:36,999
the shores of Lake Titicaca, is

543
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,666
a site that has mystified

544
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:40,900
visitors from around the world.

545
00:18:40,901 --> 00:18:43,132
(soft, ringing tones)

546
00:18:43,133 --> 00:18:44,933
* Oh, ah...

547
00:18:44,934 --> 00:18:46,533
NARRATOR: Shamans still come

548
00:18:46,534 --> 00:18:48,900
to perform rituals and offer

549
00:18:48,901 --> 00:18:50,999
prayers at the rock wall on this

550
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,266
high plateau, as they have done

551
00:18:54,267 --> 00:18:58,033
for generation after generation.

552
00:19:00,033 --> 00:19:02,766
It is known as Puerta de Hayu

553
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:06,166
Marca, or "Gate of the Gods."

554
00:19:06,167 --> 00:19:07,399
CHILDRESS: When you see

555
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,600
it, it's quite baffling.

556
00:19:09,601 --> 00:19:13,566
Here is this <i>giant</i> doorway

557
00:19:13,567 --> 00:19:16,667
carved into solid rock.

558
00:19:16,734 --> 00:19:21,032
And it appears to be a gateway,

559
00:19:21,033 --> 00:19:25,199
but it doesn't go anywhere.

560
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,266
TSOUKALOS: It's literally

561
00:19:26,267 --> 00:19:27,733
in the middle of nowhere at

562
00:19:27,734 --> 00:19:29,333
14,000 feet.

563
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:32,166
Yet that rock, as clear as you

564
00:19:32,167 --> 00:19:35,633
can see, has a gigantic

565
00:19:35,634 --> 00:19:38,733
rectangle carved out of it;

566
00:19:38,734 --> 00:19:39,800
cut out of it.

567
00:19:39,801 --> 00:19:41,199
And in the center of that

568
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,800
rectangle, at the bottom, there

569
00:19:42,801 --> 00:19:44,399
is something that looks like a

570
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,766
door.

571
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:49,366
BARA: The Peruvian natives

572
00:19:49,367 --> 00:19:51,132
actually refer to this as the

573
00:19:51,133 --> 00:19:52,366
Gate of the Gods.

574
00:19:52,367 --> 00:19:53,733
But why would you make a

575
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:56,833
doorway to, basically, rocks

576
00:19:56,834 --> 00:19:58,233
that didn't let you go anywhere?

577
00:19:58,234 --> 00:19:59,900
There has to be some way to get

578
00:19:59,901 --> 00:20:01,901
through that doorway.

579
00:20:04,067 --> 00:20:05,433
NARRATOR: According to Inca

580
00:20:05,434 --> 00:20:07,967
legend, the first priest king,

581
00:20:07,968 --> 00:20:10,666
Amaru Muru, is said to have

582
00:20:10,667 --> 00:20:11,933
traveled through this portal

583
00:20:11,934 --> 00:20:14,199
using a special object to

584
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,900
activate the doorway, turning

585
00:20:16,901 --> 00:20:19,199
this solid rock into what's

586
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,099
known as a "star gate."

587
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:23,066
TSOUKALOS: According to

588
00:20:23,067 --> 00:20:25,399
legend, this star gate was

589
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,366
activated by the help of a

590
00:20:28,367 --> 00:20:31,800
golden disc.

591
00:20:31,801 --> 00:20:34,366
And this golden disc fell from

592
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:36,199
the sky.

593
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,600
BARA: The story goes that

594
00:20:37,601 --> 00:20:38,867
the first priest king of the

595
00:20:38,868 --> 00:20:40,566
Incas took a golden disk up to

596
00:20:40,567 --> 00:20:42,666
this Gate of the Gods, stuck it

597
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:46,032
in a special recessed area,

598
00:20:46,033 --> 00:20:47,833
and this interdimensional

599
00:20:47,834 --> 00:20:49,166
doorway actually opened up and

600
00:20:49,167 --> 00:20:51,233
he passed through it, never to

601
00:20:51,234 --> 00:20:54,032
be seen again.

602
00:20:54,033 --> 00:20:55,466
The shaman that were there that

603
00:20:55,467 --> 00:20:57,233
watched it, that witnessed the

604
00:20:57,234 --> 00:20:58,933
whole thing and reported on it,

605
00:20:58,934 --> 00:21:00,700
basically told that that was

606
00:21:00,701 --> 00:21:04,099
exactly what happened.

607
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:05,333
NARRATOR: Archeologists who

608
00:21:05,334 --> 00:21:06,833
have examined the Gate of the

609
00:21:06,834 --> 00:21:09,333
Gods have discovered a small,

610
00:21:09,334 --> 00:21:10,967
circular depression in the

611
00:21:10,968 --> 00:21:14,399
center of the doorway.

612
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,099
Some people have speculated

613
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,666
that this depression was

614
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:19,666
perhaps where the golden disc

615
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:21,666
was placed.

616
00:21:21,667 --> 00:21:22,867
COPPENS: It really is out

617
00:21:22,868 --> 00:21:24,801
of the movies.

618
00:21:24,868 --> 00:21:26,600
This device is said to have

619
00:21:26,601 --> 00:21:27,933
been made of gold and of

620
00:21:27,934 --> 00:21:29,166
various sort of precious

621
00:21:29,167 --> 00:21:31,099
objects, and whoever had it

622
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:32,833
could come near this site and

623
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:35,066
somehow be able to operate it,

624
00:21:35,067 --> 00:21:36,500
and then there would either be

625
00:21:36,501 --> 00:21:37,900
contact with the gods, or the

626
00:21:37,901 --> 00:21:41,400
gods would come to them.

627
00:21:41,467 --> 00:21:42,533
TSOUKALOS: And we're all

628
00:21:42,534 --> 00:21:43,867
lead to believe, oh, it's all

629
00:21:43,868 --> 00:21:45,266
coincidence, it's all just

630
00:21:45,267 --> 00:21:46,266
fantasy.

631
00:21:46,267 --> 00:21:47,132
Rubbish.

632
00:21:47,133 --> 00:21:49,099
Something happened, and in the

633
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,933
case of the star gate, it is

634
00:21:52,934 --> 00:21:55,566
possible that this sun disc had

635
00:21:55,567 --> 00:21:58,366
some type of an extraterrestrial

636
00:21:58,367 --> 00:22:00,533
connection, and that this was a

637
00:22:00,534 --> 00:22:04,199
technological device with which

638
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,200
to travel.

639
00:22:10,501 --> 00:22:11,933
DAVID SEREDA: And that may

640
00:22:11,934 --> 00:22:14,633
mean physically taking a person

641
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:16,132
and taking them into another

642
00:22:16,133 --> 00:22:18,199
hidden dimension and taking them

643
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,733
back.

644
00:22:20,734 --> 00:22:22,099
Or it may mean traveling

645
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:23,967
between Earth, going through

646
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:25,366
that star gate and going to

647
00:22:25,367 --> 00:22:26,433
another place somewhere in the

648
00:22:26,434 --> 00:22:27,566
universe.

649
00:22:27,567 --> 00:22:28,800
NARRATOR: According to the

650
00:22:28,801 --> 00:22:30,500
local legend, these priest-

651
00:22:30,501 --> 00:22:33,999
kings, known as "space

652
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,933
brothers," reportedly came from

653
00:22:35,934 --> 00:22:37,399
other worlds.

654
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,833
Might they have traveled here

655
00:22:38,834 --> 00:22:41,433
through the Gate of the Gods?

656
00:22:41,434 --> 00:22:42,433
JORGE LUIS DELGADO MAMANI:

657
00:22:42,434 --> 00:22:44,433
They came from the other

658
00:22:44,434 --> 00:22:46,800
constellations, from other

659
00:22:46,801 --> 00:22:49,166
planets.

660
00:22:49,167 --> 00:22:51,433
In our language we have a word

661
00:22:51,434 --> 00:22:54,533
called <i>Chakana,</i> which is some

662
00:22:54,534 --> 00:22:55,900
of the constellations, like the

663
00:22:55,901 --> 00:22:57,466
Southern Cross, Orion Belt, or

664
00:22:57,467 --> 00:22:59,400
Pleiades.

665
00:22:59,467 --> 00:23:01,433
One of the elders said, "This is

666
00:23:01,434 --> 00:23:03,733
the bridge to home.

667
00:23:03,734 --> 00:23:07,333
So, in essence, all these

668
00:23:07,334 --> 00:23:11,132
manifestations has to do with

669
00:23:11,133 --> 00:23:15,433
the space brothers.

670
00:23:15,434 --> 00:23:16,900
NARRATOR: But could a device

671
00:23:16,901 --> 00:23:19,266
to activate this door actually

672
00:23:19,267 --> 00:23:22,867
exist?

673
00:23:22,868 --> 00:23:25,733
And if so, where would the

674
00:23:25,734 --> 00:23:28,800
doorway lead?

675
00:23:28,801 --> 00:23:30,700
According to ancient astronaut

676
00:23:30,701 --> 00:23:32,666
theorists, the Gate of the Gods

677
00:23:32,667 --> 00:23:37,366
is one end of a wormhole...

678
00:23:37,367 --> 00:23:39,500
a type of portal that connects

679
00:23:39,501 --> 00:23:40,999
either to another part of the

680
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,099
universe or another dimension.

681
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,433
THOMAS VALONE: A wormhole is

682
00:23:45,434 --> 00:23:47,132
a theoretical construct through

683
00:23:47,133 --> 00:23:49,100
General Relativity.

684
00:23:49,167 --> 00:23:50,766
The concept is really that

685
00:23:50,767 --> 00:23:52,666
there's a possibility of

686
00:23:52,667 --> 00:23:54,366
space-time being connected;

687
00:23:54,367 --> 00:23:56,132
various parts of space-time

688
00:23:56,133 --> 00:23:57,833
being connected through a small

689
00:23:57,834 --> 00:23:58,833
channel.

690
00:23:58,834 --> 00:24:01,066
And if such a construct was

691
00:24:01,067 --> 00:24:02,999
made, then you'd have a

692
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,867
shortcut between very distant

693
00:24:04,868 --> 00:24:07,400
parts of the universe.

694
00:24:09,367 --> 00:24:11,032
NARRATOR: Wormholes are an

695
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:12,900
accepted element of theoretical

696
00:24:12,901 --> 00:24:14,901
physics.

697
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:19,466
But have they actually existed

698
00:24:19,467 --> 00:24:21,733
in some of the world's most

699
00:24:21,734 --> 00:24:25,299
mysterious places?

700
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:26,600
MARTELL: The idea that

701
00:24:26,601 --> 00:24:27,900
there are star gates or that

702
00:24:27,901 --> 00:24:28,967
they could have existed in

703
00:24:28,968 --> 00:24:30,733
ancient times, we do see many

704
00:24:30,734 --> 00:24:32,800
artifacts and representations

705
00:24:32,801 --> 00:24:35,433
of someone passing through a

706
00:24:35,434 --> 00:24:36,900
doorway or going through some

707
00:24:36,901 --> 00:24:38,366
type of energy source, and

708
00:24:38,367 --> 00:24:40,600
ancient man did not understand

709
00:24:40,601 --> 00:24:42,867
technology, just as we're trying

710
00:24:42,868 --> 00:24:44,833
to understand: Is a wormhole

711
00:24:44,834 --> 00:24:47,267
possible?

712
00:24:47,334 --> 00:24:48,566
CHILDRESS: That it's some

713
00:24:48,567 --> 00:24:52,600
kind of doorway between our

714
00:24:52,601 --> 00:24:55,533
dimension and another.

715
00:24:55,534 --> 00:24:58,566
And what I maintain is that

716
00:24:58,567 --> 00:25:00,399
these aliens who are coming

717
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,933
here are coming here in

718
00:25:01,934 --> 00:25:06,233
interdimensional type of craft.

719
00:25:06,234 --> 00:25:07,833
They're able to jump through

720
00:25:07,834 --> 00:25:10,433
hyperspace, come here to our

721
00:25:10,434 --> 00:25:13,032
planet in no time at all, but

722
00:25:13,033 --> 00:25:14,333
they have to enter through

723
00:25:14,334 --> 00:25:15,666
certain doorways and portals,

724
00:25:15,667 --> 00:25:17,601
into our planet.

725
00:25:17,667 --> 00:25:18,700
SARA SEAGER: Dimensions

726
00:25:18,701 --> 00:25:19,666
aren't really considered

727
00:25:19,667 --> 00:25:20,800
something to travel along.

728
00:25:20,801 --> 00:25:21,900
But dimensions are directions,

729
00:25:21,901 --> 00:25:23,600
and if you could somehow travel

730
00:25:23,601 --> 00:25:25,066
along these other dimensions,

731
00:25:25,067 --> 00:25:26,800
it would take you somewhere

732
00:25:26,801 --> 00:25:28,801
else entirely.

733
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,800
NARRATOR: What if one end of

734
00:25:33,801 --> 00:25:36,066
a portal exists here at Puerta

735
00:25:36,067 --> 00:25:38,433
de Hayu Marca?

736
00:25:38,434 --> 00:25:39,933
Might that be part of the

737
00:25:39,934 --> 00:25:42,366
reason many consider Peru to be

738
00:25:42,367 --> 00:25:44,366
a focal point of UFO and

739
00:25:44,367 --> 00:25:47,066
extraterrestrial activity?

740
00:25:47,067 --> 00:25:48,299
CHILDRESS: Lake Titicaca

741
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:51,066
has all kinds of strange lights

742
00:25:51,067 --> 00:25:53,266
associated with it, and a

743
00:25:53,267 --> 00:25:55,032
number of witnesses claim they

744
00:25:55,033 --> 00:25:58,466
see UFOs coming out of the lake.

745
00:25:58,467 --> 00:25:59,600
MARTELL: The locals always

746
00:25:59,601 --> 00:26:01,999
describe seeing large blue

747
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,800
balls of light or glowing discs,

748
00:26:03,801 --> 00:26:05,633
and sometimes even beings

749
00:26:05,634 --> 00:26:07,366
reported around these sightings.

750
00:26:07,367 --> 00:26:08,700
These beings are always

751
00:26:08,701 --> 00:26:10,900
reported as tall, pale-skinned,

752
00:26:10,901 --> 00:26:13,600
completely non-indigenous to

753
00:26:13,601 --> 00:26:14,766
the people that are

754
00:26:14,767 --> 00:26:16,132
dark-skinned, dark-haired in

755
00:26:16,133 --> 00:26:18,133
these South American regions.

756
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,099
NARRATOR: Another theory to

757
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:22,666
how extraterrestrials may have

758
00:26:22,667 --> 00:26:25,199
traveled across the universe

759
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,433
involves the scientific concept

760
00:26:27,434 --> 00:26:29,600
of teleportation.

761
00:26:29,601 --> 00:26:31,433
But is it really possible to

762
00:26:31,434 --> 00:26:33,032
have something disappear from

763
00:26:33,033 --> 00:26:35,600
one spot and suddenly appear

764
00:26:35,601 --> 00:26:37,633
somewhere else?

765
00:26:37,634 --> 00:26:39,700
SEREDA: At the Max Planck

766
00:26:39,701 --> 00:26:41,600
Institute, scientists have

767
00:26:41,601 --> 00:26:44,933
already dematerialized subatomic

768
00:26:44,934 --> 00:26:47,399
particles and made them reappear

769
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,433
somewhere else, so science is

770
00:26:49,434 --> 00:26:50,867
just on the precipice of being

771
00:26:50,868 --> 00:26:53,233
able to do this... to move it

772
00:26:53,234 --> 00:26:54,967
from one place to another.

773
00:26:54,968 --> 00:26:57,433
So I believe that that is a, is

774
00:26:57,434 --> 00:26:59,032
a secret that the ancient stone

775
00:26:59,033 --> 00:27:00,032
builders knew.

776
00:27:00,033 --> 00:27:01,299
BARA: Even though the gate

777
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:03,500
might be closed right now, the

778
00:27:03,501 --> 00:27:04,933
reality is, you can still access

779
00:27:04,934 --> 00:27:06,633
the energy because it's still

780
00:27:06,634 --> 00:27:08,733
flowing around the area.

781
00:27:08,734 --> 00:27:11,433
It's the area itself that seems

782
00:27:11,434 --> 00:27:13,466
to hold the energy and put it

783
00:27:13,467 --> 00:27:17,399
out and draw people to it.

784
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,466
NARRATOR: But is Puerta de

785
00:27:19,467 --> 00:27:22,366
Hayu Marca the only strange site

786
00:27:22,367 --> 00:27:25,933
in Peru?

787
00:27:25,934 --> 00:27:27,666
Are there other mysterious

788
00:27:27,667 --> 00:27:30,166
places here?

789
00:27:30,167 --> 00:27:34,434
Some believe there are.

790
00:27:39,968 --> 00:27:41,399
NARRATOR: High up in the

791
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,867
mountains of Peru, 850 miles

792
00:27:43,868 --> 00:27:46,266
north of the Gate of the Gods,

793
00:27:46,267 --> 00:27:48,299
is a breathtaking two-mile-long

794
00:27:48,300 --> 00:27:52,333
plateau, another area of

795
00:27:52,334 --> 00:27:55,500
reported high magnetic energy.

796
00:27:55,501 --> 00:27:57,500
For centuries, it has been

797
00:27:57,501 --> 00:27:59,333
considered a powerful, sacred

798
00:27:59,334 --> 00:28:02,733
place among the Incan people.

799
00:28:02,734 --> 00:28:06,600
It's called Markawasi.

800
00:28:06,601 --> 00:28:08,500
COPPENS: Markawasi is a very

801
00:28:08,501 --> 00:28:11,033
beautiful region in Peru.

802
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:13,066
Markawasi is said to have had

803
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:14,867
very bizarre energy.

804
00:28:14,868 --> 00:28:16,099
People go there and they

805
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:17,633
experience bizarre energy

806
00:28:17,634 --> 00:28:18,633
patterns.

807
00:28:18,634 --> 00:28:19,999
KATHY DOORE: The local people

808
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,766
say it is a place of the wizards

809
00:28:21,767 --> 00:28:24,533
and gods and genies of old and

810
00:28:24,534 --> 00:28:26,099
they treat it with a great deal

811
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,167
of veneration.

812
00:28:28,234 --> 00:28:29,967
When people go there, they

813
00:28:29,968 --> 00:28:31,800
report a special kind of

814
00:28:31,801 --> 00:28:34,466
frequency and energy...

815
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:37,066
a euphoria, in fact.

816
00:28:37,067 --> 00:28:38,333
NARRATOR: Most geologists

817
00:28:38,334 --> 00:28:39,700
consider the many stone

818
00:28:39,701 --> 00:28:41,967
formations on the plateau to be

819
00:28:41,968 --> 00:28:44,466
naturally formed, born of

820
00:28:44,467 --> 00:28:46,566
millions of years of erosion and

821
00:28:46,567 --> 00:28:48,600
other natural processes.

822
00:28:48,601 --> 00:28:50,700
But is there more here than

823
00:28:50,701 --> 00:28:53,266
first meets the eye?

824
00:28:53,267 --> 00:28:55,733
Some consider Markawasi to be a

825
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:58,500
massive sculpture garden filled

826
00:28:58,501 --> 00:29:00,800
with carvings left behind by an

827
00:29:00,801 --> 00:29:02,166
ancient civilization.

828
00:29:02,167 --> 00:29:04,233
COPPENS: This is a region

829
00:29:04,234 --> 00:29:06,066
whereby stones are not just

830
00:29:06,067 --> 00:29:07,566
stones.

831
00:29:07,567 --> 00:29:09,399
What we have here is almost like

832
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,833
a Disneyland of the gods.

833
00:29:11,834 --> 00:29:13,533
The question then is: is this a

834
00:29:13,534 --> 00:29:15,399
purely natural phenomena or is

835
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,534
this something more?

836
00:29:20,234 --> 00:29:22,299
NARRATOR: Could this be not

837
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:24,533
just a collection of rocks but

838
00:29:24,534 --> 00:29:27,132
a sanctuary of stone monuments

839
00:29:27,133 --> 00:29:29,199
made by people tens or even

840
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,633
hundreds of thousands of years

841
00:29:30,634 --> 00:29:32,633
ago?

842
00:29:32,634 --> 00:29:34,533
Researcher Daniel Ruzo was the

843
00:29:34,534 --> 00:29:36,333
first to make this claim

844
00:29:36,334 --> 00:29:39,566
in 1952.

845
00:29:39,567 --> 00:29:41,867
DOORE: Daniel Ruzo was shown

846
00:29:41,868 --> 00:29:44,733
a photograph of a huge colossal

847
00:29:44,734 --> 00:29:47,333
stone head, up in the high

848
00:29:47,334 --> 00:29:49,399
mountains above Lima, and he

849
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,933
made an expedition there just to

850
00:29:50,934 --> 00:29:52,766
see the stone head, but he was

851
00:29:52,767 --> 00:29:54,666
astonished to find that on this

852
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:56,967
tiny mesa were hundreds of

853
00:29:56,968 --> 00:30:00,067
carved stones.

854
00:30:02,067 --> 00:30:04,132
NARRATOR: There are those who

855
00:30:04,133 --> 00:30:05,999
believe the rock formations

856
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,666
depict animals and people not

857
00:30:08,667 --> 00:30:10,999
indigenous to South America.

858
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,500
They see in them figures such as

859
00:30:13,501 --> 00:30:16,299
an African queen, the Egyptian

860
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:18,800
god of fertility, Taweret,

861
00:30:18,801 --> 00:30:20,466
depicted as an upright

862
00:30:20,467 --> 00:30:23,333
hippopotamus...

863
00:30:23,334 --> 00:30:25,399
a camel...

864
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,334
and many others.

865
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,399
One formation, known as the

866
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,299
Monument to Humanity, features

867
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:34,166
what appears to be a Western

868
00:30:34,167 --> 00:30:36,366
face on one side and a Middle

869
00:30:36,367 --> 00:30:38,999
Eastern one on the other.

870
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,099
Is it really possible that so

871
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:43,032
many formations which appear to

872
00:30:43,033 --> 00:30:44,733
depict figures from around the

873
00:30:44,734 --> 00:30:47,266
world could coincidentally be

874
00:30:47,267 --> 00:30:50,334
found on a single plateau?

875
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,233
Or if they are man-made, who may

876
00:30:53,234 --> 00:30:54,766
have carved them?

877
00:30:54,767 --> 00:30:56,833
DOORE: The local legends say

878
00:30:56,834 --> 00:30:58,700
that it is a place of the

879
00:30:58,701 --> 00:31:01,299
ancient giant gods, that the

880
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:03,399
gods created this.

881
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,533
In fact, when the Spanish

882
00:31:05,534 --> 00:31:07,533
chroniclers came to Peru and

883
00:31:07,534 --> 00:31:09,999
investigated the ancient

884
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,999
shamanic religions of Peru, they

885
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,867
told a story of Tici Viracocha,

886
00:31:14,868 --> 00:31:17,166
the creator god, who arrived in

887
00:31:17,167 --> 00:31:19,099
the guise of a man to walk and

888
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:22,099
inspect his lands.

889
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:24,333
And he had given them different

890
00:31:24,334 --> 00:31:26,233
orders and there were some rebel

891
00:31:26,234 --> 00:31:28,633
nations that were not doing what

892
00:31:28,634 --> 00:31:30,566
they were supposed to do and he

893
00:31:30,567 --> 00:31:34,234
promptly turned them to stone.

894
00:31:36,567 --> 00:31:38,766
NARRATOR: The name Markawasi

895
00:31:38,767 --> 00:31:40,800
provides a clue to its origins

896
00:31:40,801 --> 00:31:42,999
and mystery.

897
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,666
The word itself predates the

898
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:47,066
Incan Empire.

899
00:31:47,067 --> 00:31:49,299
Markawasi scholar and researcher

900
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:51,666
Daniel Ruzo believed the name

901
00:31:51,667 --> 00:31:53,999
meant "two-story house" and

902
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,533
referred to the strange complex

903
00:31:55,534 --> 00:31:56,566
of buildings located on the

904
00:31:56,567 --> 00:31:58,501
site.

905
00:31:58,567 --> 00:32:00,266
MARTELL: That really raises

906
00:32:00,267 --> 00:32:02,166
the question that scholars and

907
00:32:02,167 --> 00:32:03,299
theologians have been trying to

908
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:04,999
figure out for many years:

909
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,433
is there an Atlantean or some

910
00:32:06,434 --> 00:32:07,867
lost civilization?

911
00:32:07,868 --> 00:32:09,600
So Markawasi puts that question

912
00:32:09,601 --> 00:32:10,867
back on the map.

913
00:32:10,868 --> 00:32:12,233
Could this be possible?

914
00:32:12,234 --> 00:32:14,333
Were there transoceanic cultures

915
00:32:14,334 --> 00:32:16,299
visiting thousands of years ago,

916
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:17,433
off the books of recorded

917
00:32:17,434 --> 00:32:19,633
history?

918
00:32:19,634 --> 00:32:21,299
NARRATOR: According to Daniel

919
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:23,700
Ruzo, the ancient civilization

920
00:32:23,701 --> 00:32:25,700
that created Markawasi were a

921
00:32:25,701 --> 00:32:29,466
people known as the Masma...

922
00:32:29,467 --> 00:32:32,800
and supposedly, Peru was not

923
00:32:32,801 --> 00:32:33,800
their only home.

924
00:32:33,801 --> 00:32:35,399
ROBERT SCHOCH: The Masma was

925
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,132
this very, very ancient advanced

926
00:32:39,133 --> 00:32:41,032
civilization, advanced culture,

927
00:32:41,033 --> 00:32:42,833
if we want to call it that, that

928
00:32:42,834 --> 00:32:44,600
seems to have been global, seems

929
00:32:44,601 --> 00:32:47,032
to have traveled worldwide at a

930
00:32:47,033 --> 00:32:50,700
very early period, and Ruzo

931
00:32:50,701 --> 00:32:52,199
spent much of his time looking

932
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,066
around the world for evidence of

933
00:32:54,067 --> 00:32:55,867
this advanced civilization,

934
00:32:55,868 --> 00:32:57,366
and he thought he found it

935
00:32:57,367 --> 00:32:59,333
at Markawasi.

936
00:32:59,334 --> 00:33:01,299
He actually saw Markawasi, in

937
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:03,433
many ways, as being like a huge

938
00:33:03,434 --> 00:33:06,433
sculpture garden that the Masma

939
00:33:06,434 --> 00:33:10,299
had built there.

940
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:12,366
NARRATOR: If such a worldwide

941
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:14,666
community existed, what happened

942
00:33:14,667 --> 00:33:15,666
to it?

943
00:33:15,667 --> 00:33:18,099
Was it, as some believe, wiped

944
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,433
out in the great flood described

945
00:33:20,434 --> 00:33:21,700
in the Bible?

946
00:33:21,701 --> 00:33:23,233
BARA: It's very interesting

947
00:33:23,234 --> 00:33:24,366
that these carvings are found

948
00:33:24,367 --> 00:33:26,433
at 12,000 feet because that kind

949
00:33:26,434 --> 00:33:27,500
of implies that civilization

950
00:33:27,501 --> 00:33:28,733
started at the top and then

951
00:33:28,734 --> 00:33:30,766
worked its way back down as the

952
00:33:30,767 --> 00:33:32,833
waters of the flood receded.

953
00:33:32,834 --> 00:33:34,132
It's almost as if the first

954
00:33:34,133 --> 00:33:36,333
thing they did when Noah's Ark

955
00:33:36,334 --> 00:33:37,733
descended and landed, maybe

956
00:33:37,734 --> 00:33:39,666
landed at Markawasi, was to

957
00:33:39,667 --> 00:33:40,900
record all the animals that they

958
00:33:40,901 --> 00:33:42,566
had collected, if you buy the

959
00:33:42,567 --> 00:33:44,132
whole concept of a story of

960
00:33:44,133 --> 00:33:45,733
saving what was left of humanity

961
00:33:45,734 --> 00:33:46,967
and saving what they could of

962
00:33:46,968 --> 00:33:48,901
the animal kingdom.

963
00:33:48,968 --> 00:33:50,766
SCHOCH: If these are real

964
00:33:50,767 --> 00:33:52,867
sculptures or even natural

965
00:33:52,868 --> 00:33:54,733
formations that were touched up,

966
00:33:54,734 --> 00:33:58,800
they are so old geologically

967
00:33:58,801 --> 00:34:00,233
that all we can really do is

968
00:34:00,234 --> 00:34:02,399
fall back to some of the

969
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,800
speculations of people like

970
00:34:03,801 --> 00:34:05,967
Daniel Ruzo... that this was some

971
00:34:05,968 --> 00:34:09,099
kind of very ancient

972
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:11,633
civilization.

973
00:34:11,634 --> 00:34:13,500
DOORE: Perhaps, indeed, there

974
00:34:13,501 --> 00:34:14,800
were ancient gods.

975
00:34:14,801 --> 00:34:16,399
Perhaps there was a race of

976
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,566
beings of very high-minded

977
00:34:18,567 --> 00:34:21,433
nature that came here in the

978
00:34:21,434 --> 00:34:24,766
early, early times that helped

979
00:34:24,767 --> 00:34:26,533
mankind and that have been

980
00:34:26,534 --> 00:34:28,666
overseeing their handiwork.

981
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:30,733
SCHOCH: I suspect that they

982
00:34:30,734 --> 00:34:32,867
were trying to record something

983
00:34:32,868 --> 00:34:34,867
about their beliefs, their

984
00:34:34,868 --> 00:34:37,299
civilization, something that

985
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:39,199
could be passed on to future

986
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,199
generations.

987
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,366
They may have realized that they

988
00:34:41,367 --> 00:34:42,999
were not going to last forever

989
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,233
and they wanted to leave some

990
00:34:44,234 --> 00:34:45,733
kind of mark, some kind of

991
00:34:45,734 --> 00:34:47,867
record, maybe even some kind of

992
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:51,300
warning for future generations.

993
00:34:53,767 --> 00:34:55,233
NARRATOR: If this advanced,

994
00:34:55,234 --> 00:34:57,466
globe-traveling race existed in

995
00:34:57,467 --> 00:35:00,566
early history, where did they

996
00:35:00,567 --> 00:35:01,700
come from?

997
00:35:01,701 --> 00:35:03,666
According to author George Hunt

998
00:35:03,667 --> 00:35:05,433
Williamson, who first

999
00:35:05,434 --> 00:35:07,867
popularized Markawasi with his

1000
00:35:07,868 --> 00:35:11,032
1959 book <i>Road in the Sky,</i>

1001
00:35:11,033 --> 00:35:14,299
Markawasi was a "sacred forest"

1002
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:16,999
where extraterrestrial beings

1003
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,132
met to plan the future.

1004
00:35:19,133 --> 00:35:21,533
And many UFO researchers

1005
00:35:21,534 --> 00:35:23,032
believe they're still returning

1006
00:35:23,033 --> 00:35:24,566
to this day.

1007
00:35:24,567 --> 00:35:25,633
DOORE: The mesa has a

1008
00:35:25,634 --> 00:35:28,099
plethora of UFO sightings,

1009
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:30,099
ultra-dimensional visitors.

1010
00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:32,367
It's an extraordinary place.

1011
00:35:32,434 --> 00:35:34,299
CHILDRESS: What is probably

1012
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:37,399
Peru's most famous UFO photo

1013
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,700
was taken near Markawasi in the

1014
00:35:39,701 --> 00:35:41,366
1970s by a businessman, who

1015
00:35:41,367 --> 00:35:43,466
himself was going up the

1016
00:35:43,467 --> 00:35:44,967
trail to the plateau of

1017
00:35:44,968 --> 00:35:47,333
Markawasi, when he looked back

1018
00:35:47,334 --> 00:35:50,199
down the valley, and there was

1019
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,733
a silvery disc in broad

1020
00:35:52,734 --> 00:35:54,868
daylight, flying up the valley.

1021
00:35:54,934 --> 00:35:57,032
NARRATOR: But are there

1022
00:35:57,033 --> 00:35:58,733
really special types of energy

1023
00:35:58,734 --> 00:36:01,199
flowing around Markawasi that

1024
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,066
we are just beginning to

1025
00:36:03,067 --> 00:36:05,566
understand?

1026
00:36:05,567 --> 00:36:07,666
And if so, have they been

1027
00:36:07,667 --> 00:36:09,032
attracting visitors for

1028
00:36:09,033 --> 00:36:11,533
thousands of years, as reported

1029
00:36:11,534 --> 00:36:12,999
at some of the world's other

1030
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,600
mysterious places?

1031
00:36:14,601 --> 00:36:15,933
BARA: My suspicion is that

1032
00:36:15,934 --> 00:36:17,166
extraterrestrials would be

1033
00:36:17,167 --> 00:36:19,433
more inclined to come to these

1034
00:36:19,434 --> 00:36:20,800
energetic places, not just

1035
00:36:20,801 --> 00:36:22,433
because it would make their

1036
00:36:22,434 --> 00:36:23,500
technology work better, but

1037
00:36:23,501 --> 00:36:24,633
because their bodies are going

1038
00:36:24,634 --> 00:36:25,967
to vibrate at a frequency that's

1039
00:36:25,968 --> 00:36:26,867
more appropriate for the

1040
00:36:26,868 --> 00:36:28,900
universe or the world that they

1041
00:36:28,901 --> 00:36:30,600
inhabit.

1042
00:36:30,601 --> 00:36:31,833
SCHOCH: As I have looked at

1043
00:36:31,834 --> 00:36:33,700
studies and studied it myself,

1044
00:36:33,701 --> 00:36:35,299
I think that maybe something

1045
00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:38,099
inherent to those spots... maybe

1046
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:40,266
electromagnetic, maybe a

1047
00:36:40,267 --> 00:36:41,466
geomagnetic anomaly...

1048
00:36:41,467 --> 00:36:42,967
you have, in some cases,

1049
00:36:42,968 --> 00:36:43,967
different types of rocks,

1050
00:36:43,968 --> 00:36:45,233
different types of crystalline

1051
00:36:45,234 --> 00:36:46,933
structures; maybe underground

1052
00:36:46,934 --> 00:36:48,199
flowing water that will carry

1053
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,500
electric currents... so I think

1054
00:36:49,501 --> 00:36:50,733
there are a lot of

1055
00:36:50,734 --> 00:36:51,733
possibilities.

1056
00:36:51,734 --> 00:36:53,466
But we really don't understand

1057
00:36:53,467 --> 00:36:55,467
exactly what's going on.

1058
00:36:57,567 --> 00:36:58,633
NARRATOR: Is there a reason

1059
00:36:58,634 --> 00:37:00,066
why these so-called

1060
00:37:00,067 --> 00:37:02,032
interdimensional space portals

1061
00:37:02,033 --> 00:37:04,199
allegedly appear at certain

1062
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,800
spots on our planet?

1063
00:37:05,801 --> 00:37:08,132
Is there, as some suggest,

1064
00:37:08,133 --> 00:37:10,633
a pattern to their locations?

1065
00:37:10,634 --> 00:37:13,099
And what evidence exists that

1066
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:15,032
shows our ancient ancestors

1067
00:37:15,033 --> 00:37:17,033
knew the code?

1068
00:37:20,434 --> 00:37:21,800
(thunder crashes)

1069
00:37:21,801 --> 00:37:22,933
NARRATOR: According to

1070
00:37:22,934 --> 00:37:24,366
ancient astronaut theorists,

1071
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:26,999
the mysterious energy-filled

1072
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,566
sites around the world are not

1073
00:37:29,567 --> 00:37:31,132
randomly located.

1074
00:37:31,133 --> 00:37:33,700
They are connected by what is

1075
00:37:33,701 --> 00:37:36,032
referred to as the World Grid...

1076
00:37:36,033 --> 00:37:38,433
a geometric pattern of energy

1077
00:37:38,434 --> 00:37:40,467
that crisscrosses the globe.

1078
00:37:42,234 --> 00:37:43,399
CHILDRESS: Our planet is

1079
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,733
covered with this network of

1080
00:37:45,734 --> 00:37:48,800
very subtle, invisible energies

1081
00:37:48,801 --> 00:37:50,833
that are all around us.

1082
00:37:50,834 --> 00:37:52,833
But at certain places on the

1083
00:37:52,834 --> 00:37:55,399
planet, these energies come

1084
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,032
together, and they create a

1085
00:37:58,033 --> 00:38:00,767
powerful vortex area.

1086
00:38:00,834 --> 00:38:03,566
And that energy is-is stronger

1087
00:38:03,567 --> 00:38:06,533
and more useful, in a sense,

1088
00:38:06,534 --> 00:38:07,933
than some other part of

1089
00:38:07,934 --> 00:38:09,267
the Earth.

1090
00:38:09,334 --> 00:38:11,233
BARA: The World Grid theory

1091
00:38:11,234 --> 00:38:13,933
is a concept that all of these

1092
00:38:13,934 --> 00:38:15,166
sacred sites, all around the

1093
00:38:15,167 --> 00:38:17,099
world, are actually connected in

1094
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:18,466
some sort of mathematical,

1095
00:38:18,467 --> 00:38:20,333
geometric grid that came from

1096
00:38:20,334 --> 00:38:21,700
a time when we really understood

1097
00:38:21,701 --> 00:38:24,600
the harmony between nature and

1098
00:38:24,601 --> 00:38:26,166
geometry and science and

1099
00:38:26,167 --> 00:38:28,100
mathematics.

1100
00:38:28,167 --> 00:38:29,733
CHILDRESS: It's well known

1101
00:38:29,734 --> 00:38:31,433
that Australian aboriginals

1102
00:38:31,434 --> 00:38:34,433
follow these dreaming tracks as

1103
00:38:34,434 --> 00:38:36,166
they go on their walkabout

1104
00:38:36,167 --> 00:38:37,999
through the desert.

1105
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,900
They can see these lines on the

1106
00:38:40,901 --> 00:38:42,733
ground, they claim.

1107
00:38:42,734 --> 00:38:45,533
The Chinese also believe that

1108
00:38:45,534 --> 00:38:48,533
they can see and track these

1109
00:38:48,534 --> 00:38:50,066
"dragon lines."

1110
00:38:50,067 --> 00:38:52,533
And in fact, the very popular

1111
00:38:52,534 --> 00:38:55,766
Chinese practice of feng shui

1112
00:38:55,767 --> 00:38:58,867
is to use these energy lines

1113
00:38:58,868 --> 00:39:01,566
that are coming and going

1114
00:39:01,567 --> 00:39:03,566
throughout the land.

1115
00:39:03,567 --> 00:39:06,199
NARRATOR: The unique

1116
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,933
relationship between geometric

1117
00:39:07,934 --> 00:39:09,700
shapes and certain locations on

1118
00:39:09,701 --> 00:39:12,099
Earth stretches back in history

1119
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:13,867
to the Pythagorean school of

1120
00:39:13,868 --> 00:39:15,933
thought in ancient Greece.

1121
00:39:15,934 --> 00:39:17,132
CHILDRESS: One of the famous

1122
00:39:17,133 --> 00:39:18,700
Pythagorean philosophers of

1123
00:39:18,701 --> 00:39:21,299
ancient Greece, Plato, talks

1124
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:24,333
about the Earth as a geometric

1125
00:39:24,334 --> 00:39:26,032
dodecahedron.

1126
00:39:26,033 --> 00:39:28,500
That it's like a ball sewn in

1127
00:39:28,501 --> 00:39:31,333
various geometric shapes.

1128
00:39:31,334 --> 00:39:34,066
And the Pythagorean school is

1129
00:39:34,067 --> 00:39:36,433
basically saying that geometry,

1130
00:39:36,434 --> 00:39:39,633
and the various forms of

1131
00:39:39,634 --> 00:39:42,733
geometry, are what makes up all

1132
00:39:42,734 --> 00:39:46,200
matter, including the Earth.

1133
00:39:48,801 --> 00:39:50,299
NARRATOR: Another strange

1134
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:52,500
mystery surrounds the apparent

1135
00:39:52,501 --> 00:39:54,833
concentration of UFO sightings

1136
00:39:54,834 --> 00:39:57,199
along the World Grid.

1137
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,933
Before his death in 1992,

1138
00:40:00,934 --> 00:40:03,600
French UFO researcher Aimee

1139
00:40:03,601 --> 00:40:05,800
Michel mapped every alleged

1140
00:40:05,801 --> 00:40:08,099
extraterrestrial report since

1141
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:10,634
the Roswell incident in 1947.

1142
00:40:10,701 --> 00:40:12,032
COPPENS: And when he mapped

1143
00:40:12,033 --> 00:40:13,233
them, he found that they were

1144
00:40:13,234 --> 00:40:15,299
very specific, namely in lines.

1145
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:16,933
And he began to map these

1146
00:40:16,934 --> 00:40:18,199
lines, and he found that these

1147
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,566
lines were not just random, but

1148
00:40:19,567 --> 00:40:22,466
were actually linked to degrees

1149
00:40:22,467 --> 00:40:24,700
of latitudes, and that there

1150
00:40:24,701 --> 00:40:26,500
was really a science behind

1151
00:40:26,501 --> 00:40:29,033
where UFOs were sighted.

1152
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:30,833
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut

1153
00:40:30,834 --> 00:40:32,800
theorists believe that the

1154
00:40:32,801 --> 00:40:34,433
concentration of energy levels

1155
00:40:34,434 --> 00:40:36,500
and UFO sightings is not a

1156
00:40:36,501 --> 00:40:39,967
coincidence.

1157
00:40:39,968 --> 00:40:42,032
They claim that otherworldly

1158
00:40:42,033 --> 00:40:44,500
beings visited our ancestors

1159
00:40:44,501 --> 00:40:46,366
and told them of the special

1160
00:40:46,367 --> 00:40:48,633
powers in these locations.

1161
00:40:48,634 --> 00:40:51,066
Then they say the ancient

1162
00:40:51,067 --> 00:40:52,433
people were shown how to build

1163
00:40:52,434 --> 00:40:54,199
incredible structures to

1164
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,933
magnify these natural powers.

1165
00:40:57,934 --> 00:41:00,734
It's a theory known as geomancy.

1166
00:41:03,767 --> 00:41:05,999
CHILDRESS: So, in fact, by

1167
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,967
building pyramids, and standing

1168
00:41:08,968 --> 00:41:11,600
stones, obelisks and things like

1169
00:41:11,601 --> 00:41:14,132
that, we can work with this

1170
00:41:14,133 --> 00:41:15,867
natural energy field around the

1171
00:41:15,868 --> 00:41:18,999
Earth, and, in a similar way to

1172
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,666
acupuncture on a human body,

1173
00:41:20,667 --> 00:41:22,399
we can do that to the

1174
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,199
Earth, too.

1175
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,032
And by putting certain

1176
00:41:26,033 --> 00:41:28,566
structures, or a needle in a

1177
00:41:28,567 --> 00:41:30,800
certain place in the Earth, we

1178
00:41:30,801 --> 00:41:34,567
can accentuate these energies.

1179
00:41:34,634 --> 00:41:36,533
VON DANIKEN: In Europe,

1180
00:41:36,534 --> 00:41:39,600
lines, sometimes thousand

1181
00:41:39,601 --> 00:41:42,600
kilometers of long, exist from

1182
00:41:42,601 --> 00:41:43,700
antiquity.

1183
00:41:43,701 --> 00:41:45,433
In Europe they are called

1184
00:41:45,434 --> 00:41:47,500
ley lines.

1185
00:41:47,501 --> 00:41:49,233
All of the antique places are

1186
00:41:49,234 --> 00:41:51,166
linked together.

1187
00:41:51,167 --> 00:41:52,032
TSOUKALOS: These ley lines

1188
00:41:52,033 --> 00:41:53,633
extend all the way from

1189
00:41:53,634 --> 00:41:55,266
England, all the way through

1190
00:41:55,267 --> 00:41:57,900
France, down across through

1191
00:41:57,901 --> 00:41:59,900
Italy, and just in a straight

1192
00:41:59,901 --> 00:42:01,566
line.

1193
00:42:01,567 --> 00:42:03,433
And the fascinating aspect is

1194
00:42:03,434 --> 00:42:05,800
that many of those towns that

1195
00:42:05,801 --> 00:42:09,166
are on that line, the root of

1196
00:42:09,167 --> 00:42:12,700
the town's name is represented

1197
00:42:12,701 --> 00:42:17,067
across 20, 30 town names.

1198
00:42:17,133 --> 00:42:18,666
VON DANIKEN: Every point is

1199
00:42:18,667 --> 00:42:19,867
on one line.

1200
00:42:19,868 --> 00:42:21,666
It's an archeological point.

1201
00:42:21,667 --> 00:42:23,800
And every point has the same

1202
00:42:23,801 --> 00:42:26,566
core of the word.

1203
00:42:26,567 --> 00:42:29,032
The word is always "star."

1204
00:42:29,033 --> 00:42:30,766
It's absolutely fascinating,

1205
00:42:30,767 --> 00:42:32,266
and it's not coincidence.

1206
00:42:32,267 --> 00:42:34,032
Our Stone Age people did not by

1207
00:42:34,033 --> 00:42:35,700
coincidence just put their holy

1208
00:42:35,701 --> 00:42:37,433
places in Stone Age in one line.

1209
00:42:37,434 --> 00:42:39,233
Somebody ordered it, and

1210
00:42:39,234 --> 00:42:41,766
somebody told them, use the

1211
00:42:41,767 --> 00:42:43,633
word "star" for your village.

1212
00:42:43,634 --> 00:42:45,566
For eternity, don't change it.

1213
00:42:45,567 --> 00:42:48,099
BARA: So, the question is:

1214
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:48,933
are those guys

1215
00:42:48,934 --> 00:42:50,633
extraterrestrials?

1216
00:42:50,634 --> 00:42:53,199
Or is it possible that we,

1217
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,132
in fact, are extraterrestrial,

1218
00:42:55,133 --> 00:42:57,466
that we did not come from here?

1219
00:42:57,467 --> 00:42:59,099
And it's simply an older

1220
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:01,266
version of humanity taking care

1221
00:43:01,267 --> 00:43:02,333
of the younger version that

1222
00:43:02,334 --> 00:43:03,500
they're going to leave the

1223
00:43:03,501 --> 00:43:04,800
planet to?

1224
00:43:04,801 --> 00:43:05,867
VON DANIKEN: The idea was

1225
00:43:05,868 --> 00:43:07,500
that generations in the far

1226
00:43:07,501 --> 00:43:09,266
future, they must struggle over

1227
00:43:09,267 --> 00:43:12,066
these artifacts, and over these

1228
00:43:12,067 --> 00:43:13,032
indications.

1229
00:43:13,033 --> 00:43:14,132
And they must start to ask

1230
00:43:14,133 --> 00:43:15,132
questions.

1231
00:43:15,133 --> 00:43:16,032
That's the situation we have

1232
00:43:16,033 --> 00:43:17,032
today.

1233
00:43:17,033 --> 00:43:18,066
BARA: The main thing that

1234
00:43:18,067 --> 00:43:19,433
these mysterious places can tell

1235
00:43:19,434 --> 00:43:21,999
us about our past is that it's

1236
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,299
a lot more complex than they

1237
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:25,233
teach us in school.

1238
00:43:25,234 --> 00:43:26,366
NARRATOR: Until future

1239
00:43:26,367 --> 00:43:28,366
scientists solve the strange

1240
00:43:28,367 --> 00:43:29,733
issues surrounding certain

1241
00:43:29,734 --> 00:43:31,833
spots on Earth, we'll be left

1242
00:43:31,834 --> 00:43:33,833
with lingering questions.

1243
00:43:33,834 --> 00:43:36,600
Might these locations really be

1244
00:43:36,601 --> 00:43:38,166
portals or entrances to

1245
00:43:38,167 --> 00:43:39,334
wormholes?

1246
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,933
Did extraterrestrial beings

1247
00:43:41,934 --> 00:43:43,566
transport themselves to Earth,

1248
00:43:43,567 --> 00:43:45,733
using special electromagnetic

1249
00:43:45,734 --> 00:43:47,566
fields in these mysterious

1250
00:43:47,567 --> 00:43:48,566
places?

1251
00:43:48,567 --> 00:43:50,099
And were these secrets known by

1252
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:51,066
ancient civilizations now

1253
00:43:51,067 --> 00:43:52,466
lost to history?
