information that we've been told 11 00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,201 about the Second World War is 12 00:00:27,201 --> 00:00:28,202 wrong. 13 00:00:28,202 --> 00:00:29,855 >> NARRATOR: Did, as some 14 00:00:29,855 --> 00:00:32,467 believe, Adolf Hitler base his 15 00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:34,295 plans for world domination on 16 00:00:34,295 --> 00:00:36,166 secret extraterrestrial 17 00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:37,211 knowledge? 18 00:00:37,211 --> 00:00:38,081 >> GEORGE NOORY: The Nazis were 19 00:00:38,081 --> 00:00:39,648 looking for some kind of 20 00:00:39,648 --> 00:00:41,606 technology that the ancients 21 00:00:41,606 --> 00:00:42,738 possessed. 22 00:00:42,738 --> 00:00:44,218 >> NARRATOR: And did the German 23 00:00:44,218 --> 00:00:46,655 military develop an arsenal of 24 00:00:46,655 --> 00:00:48,439 so-called "wonder weapons" 25 00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:50,746 based on advanced alien 26 00:00:50,746 --> 00:00:51,921 technologies? 27 00:00:51,921 --> 00:00:52,835 >> JIM MARRS: Not only were 28 00:00:52,835 --> 00:00:53,923 they able to cancel out 29 00:00:53,923 --> 00:00:55,316 gravity, they could be 30 00:00:55,316 --> 00:00:58,232 manipulating time. 31 00:00:58,232 --> 00:00:59,798 >> NARRATOR: Millions of people 32 00:00:59,798 --> 00:01:01,626 around the world believe we 33 00:01:01,626 --> 00:01:02,975 have been visited in the past 34 00:01:02,975 --> 00:01:05,195 by extraterrestrial beings. 35 00:01:05,195 --> 00:01:07,937 What if it were true? 36 00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:10,635 Did ancient aliens really help 37 00:01:10,635 --> 00:01:13,464 to shape our history? 38 00:01:13,464 --> 00:01:15,814 And if so, just what was their 39 00:01:15,814 --> 00:01:18,687 connection to Hitler's Nazis 40 00:01:18,687 --> 00:01:21,733 connection to Hitler's Nazis and World War II? 41 00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:51,807 and World War II? 42 00:01:51,807 --> 00:01:53,243 >> NARRATOR: During the Second 43 00:01:53,243 --> 00:01:55,854 World War, Germany possessed 44 00:01:55,854 --> 00:01:57,117 the most technologically 45 00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:59,902 advanced military in the world. 46 00:01:59,902 --> 00:02:01,599 Weapons such as the jet 47 00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:03,253 aircraft... 48 00:02:03,253 --> 00:02:07,736 precision bombers... 49 00:02:07,736 --> 00:02:11,435 and guided missiles... 50 00:02:11,435 --> 00:02:13,611 all designed with one purpose 51 00:02:13,611 --> 00:02:16,527 in mind: to help the Nazis and 52 00:02:16,527 --> 00:02:18,790 their leader, Adolf Hitler, 53 00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:20,923 blitzkrieg their way across 54 00:02:20,923 --> 00:02:22,968 Europe... 55 00:02:22,968 --> 00:02:25,145 and create a "Third Reich," 56 00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:27,234 or empire, that would eventually 57 00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:31,281 rule the world. 58 00:02:31,281 --> 00:02:32,630 >> BILL BIRNES: And they 59 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:35,155 developed two amazing weapons. 60 00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:38,245 One was the V-1 buzz bomber, 61 00:02:38,245 --> 00:02:39,420 literally the first cruise 62 00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:42,336 literally the first cruise missile. 63 00:02:42,336 --> 00:02:44,512 missile. 64 00:02:44,512 --> 00:02:46,731 And the other was the V-2, the 65 00:02:46,731 --> 00:02:48,516 first ballistic missile. 66 00:02:48,516 --> 00:02:51,432 [roaring] 67 00:02:51,432 --> 00:02:52,302 >> MARRS: The German rocket 68 00:02:52,302 --> 00:02:54,304 program was years ahead of any 69 00:02:54,304 --> 00:02:55,784 of the Allied nations. 70 00:02:55,784 --> 00:02:57,568 By the end of the war, they were 71 00:02:57,568 --> 00:02:59,527 developing the A-10, which was 72 00:02:59,527 --> 00:03:01,224 also known as the New York 73 00:03:01,224 --> 00:03:03,183 Rocket. 74 00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:04,923 So that'd give you an idea of 75 00:03:04,923 --> 00:03:06,098 what they were thinking. 76 00:03:06,098 --> 00:03:07,535 They also had one in the works 77 00:03:07,535 --> 00:03:08,927 that they were calling "the Mars 78 00:03:08,927 --> 00:03:10,973 Rocket." 79 00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:12,844 So I think they had some pretty 80 00:03:12,844 --> 00:03:14,368 grandiose plans. 81 00:03:14,368 --> 00:03:16,065 >> NARRATOR: Even to their 82 00:03:16,065 --> 00:03:18,241 enemies, German scientists were 83 00:03:18,241 --> 00:03:21,113 the envy of the world. 84 00:03:21,113 --> 00:03:22,463 But what was the source of 85 00:03:22,463 --> 00:03:25,422 their incredible achievements? 86 00:03:25,422 --> 00:03:26,771 Were they simply smarter than 87 00:03:26,771 --> 00:03:28,120 their counterparts in other 88 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,687 countries? 89 00:03:29,687 --> 00:03:31,428 Did they receive more funding 90 00:03:31,428 --> 00:03:32,821 and resources for their 91 00:03:32,821 --> 00:03:34,301 research? 92 00:03:34,301 --> 00:03:36,390 Or were they, as some ancient 93 00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:38,566 astronaut theorists believe, 94 00:03:38,566 --> 00:03:41,482 guided by other, possibly 95 00:03:41,482 --> 00:03:44,224 extraterrestrial, forces? 96 00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:46,182 >> LINDA MOULTON HOWE: Hitler 97 00:03:46,182 --> 00:03:48,053 was always saying that he had 98 00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:49,881 access to the most advanced 99 00:03:49,881 --> 00:03:52,667 technology, that the Nazis would 100 00:03:52,667 --> 00:03:55,017 prevail in World War II. 101 00:03:55,017 --> 00:03:57,933 And I suppose it is a very 102 00:03:57,933 --> 00:03:59,717 important question to ask. 103 00:03:59,717 --> 00:04:01,893 "What was giving Adolf Hitler 104 00:04:01,893 --> 00:04:04,635 the confidence to assert to 105 00:04:04,635 --> 00:04:06,898 masses of people that he was 106 00:04:06,898 --> 00:04:08,683 going to essentially take over 107 00:04:08,683 --> 00:04:10,598 going to essentially take over the world?" 108 00:04:10,598 --> 00:04:14,558 the world?" 109 00:04:14,558 --> 00:04:16,560 >> NARRATOR: In his 1993 book, 110 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,519 Secret Societies and Their 111 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:20,564 Power in the 20th Century, 112 00:04:20,564 --> 00:04:23,219 author Jan van Helsing told the 113 00:04:23,219 --> 00:04:25,482 story of a strange crash in 114 00:04:25,482 --> 00:04:27,528 Germany's Black Forest that 115 00:04:27,528 --> 00:04:30,400 occurred in 1936, three years 116 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,402 before the start of World War 117 00:04:32,402 --> 00:04:35,492 II. 118 00:04:35,492 --> 00:04:37,364 According to Van Helsing, 119 00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:39,322 residents living near the small 120 00:04:39,322 --> 00:04:41,672 town of Freiburg woke up to 121 00:04:41,672 --> 00:04:43,152 what sounded like a massive 122 00:04:43,152 --> 00:04:44,849 plane crash. 123 00:04:44,849 --> 00:04:47,504 [crashing] 124 00:04:47,504 --> 00:04:49,854 But when investigators examined 125 00:04:49,854 --> 00:04:52,422 the crash, they found a strange 126 00:04:52,422 --> 00:04:54,468 disc-shaped object. 127 00:04:54,468 --> 00:04:56,861 And inside were the remains of 128 00:04:56,861 --> 00:04:58,036 what appeared to be 129 00:04:58,036 --> 00:05:01,910 extraterrestrial beings. 130 00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:05,043 Van Helsing also claims that 131 00:05:05,043 --> 00:05:06,610 within hours of the crash, 132 00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:08,699 Hitler's SS troops took 133 00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:09,918 possession of the downed 134 00:05:09,918 --> 00:05:11,572 aircraft and its deceased crew 135 00:05:11,572 --> 00:05:13,487 and carried it away to their 136 00:05:13,487 --> 00:05:15,532 top-secret headquarters at 137 00:05:15,532 --> 00:05:19,057 Wewelsburg Castle. 138 00:05:19,057 --> 00:05:21,408 There, it was believed, Nazi 139 00:05:21,408 --> 00:05:23,845 scientists began the task of 140 00:05:23,845 --> 00:05:25,455 reverse-engineering the 141 00:05:25,455 --> 00:05:26,587 technology found aboard the 142 00:05:26,587 --> 00:05:28,545 damaged craft. 143 00:05:28,545 --> 00:05:30,678 But is there any evidence that 144 00:05:30,678 --> 00:05:32,636 this extraterrestrial space 145 00:05:32,636 --> 00:05:34,595 ship even existed? 146 00:05:34,595 --> 00:05:36,640 And would it have been possible 147 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,468 to reverse-engineer it? 148 00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:40,644 >> BIRNES: What exists are the 149 00:05:40,644 --> 00:05:42,820 reports of scientists who claim 150 00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:45,736 to have read reports of analysis 151 00:05:45,736 --> 00:05:47,390 done on that craft and the 152 00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:49,436 propulsions system. 153 00:05:49,436 --> 00:05:50,393 >> MICHAEL DENNIN: The 154 00:05:50,393 --> 00:05:51,438 challenges in reverse- 155 00:05:51,438 --> 00:05:53,135 engineering it would depend a 156 00:05:53,135 --> 00:05:55,485 little bit on the nature of the 157 00:05:55,485 --> 00:05:57,400 power source it used and how it 158 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,009 worked. 159 00:05:58,009 --> 00:05:59,620 Right now, because we are such 160 00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:00,751 an electronically-based 161 00:06:00,751 --> 00:06:02,579 society, and it's almost all 162 00:06:02,579 --> 00:06:03,972 based on silicon electronics, 163 00:06:03,972 --> 00:06:06,714 um, if it wasn't that, it might 164 00:06:06,714 --> 00:06:08,411 be very, very hard. 165 00:06:08,411 --> 00:06:10,631 But if it was close to what we 166 00:06:10,631 --> 00:06:12,459 did, then it would probably be 167 00:06:12,459 --> 00:06:14,504 pretty easy. 168 00:06:14,504 --> 00:06:16,027 >> NARRATOR: According to 169 00:06:16,027 --> 00:06:17,507 reports discovered after the 170 00:06:17,507 --> 00:06:19,944 war, German scientists began 171 00:06:19,944 --> 00:06:21,816 experimenting with anti-gravity 172 00:06:21,816 --> 00:06:23,948 technologies shortly after the 173 00:06:23,948 --> 00:06:25,472 alleged discovery of the alien 174 00:06:25,472 --> 00:06:27,952 craft. 175 00:06:27,952 --> 00:06:29,606 One of these scientists was an 176 00:06:29,606 --> 00:06:31,478 Austrian inventor named Viktor 177 00:06:31,478 --> 00:06:32,740 Schauberger. 178 00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:34,045 >> DENNIN: He was very 179 00:06:34,045 --> 00:06:35,873 instrumental in talking about 180 00:06:35,873 --> 00:06:38,789 creative ways of using fluid 181 00:06:38,789 --> 00:06:40,878 motion to generate propulsions. 182 00:06:40,878 --> 00:06:43,838 And a lot of it has to do with 183 00:06:43,838 --> 00:06:45,405 studying the way animals 184 00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,797 actually move through water 185 00:06:46,797 --> 00:06:47,494 or air. 186 00:06:47,494 --> 00:06:48,843 >> JOERG SCHAUBERGER: He looked 187 00:06:48,843 --> 00:06:50,584 especially on the trout 188 00:06:50,584 --> 00:06:52,673 standing still in a raging 189 00:06:52,673 --> 00:06:54,718 torrent. 190 00:06:54,718 --> 00:06:56,981 And he thought of, "How can this 191 00:06:56,981 --> 00:07:00,637 fish stand still in this river?" 192 00:07:00,637 --> 00:07:03,423 And then he thought of how 193 00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:04,598 nature works. 194 00:07:04,598 --> 00:07:06,556 And he stated, it's not the 195 00:07:06,556 --> 00:07:09,429 animal itself, it's air or 196 00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:12,432 water that moves this animal. 197 00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:14,912 A fish does not swim, it is 198 00:07:14,912 --> 00:07:17,437 swum, and a bird does not fly, 199 00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:19,439 it is flown. 200 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,484 So why can't we do this with 201 00:07:21,484 --> 00:07:23,007 machines? 202 00:07:23,007 --> 00:07:26,446 Move the air in a special way 203 00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:29,579 so that the vehicle is pulled, 204 00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:30,754 not pushed. 205 00:07:30,754 --> 00:07:32,016 >> DAVID CHILDRESS: Viktor 206 00:07:32,016 --> 00:07:33,844 Schauberger, he developed a 207 00:07:33,844 --> 00:07:36,847 type of vortex engine-- 208 00:07:36,847 --> 00:07:39,502 artificial tornado, as it were-- 209 00:07:39,502 --> 00:07:41,939 where vortex activity and 210 00:07:41,939 --> 00:07:44,376 gyroscopic activity could be 211 00:07:44,376 --> 00:07:46,988 harnessed with liquids such as 212 00:07:46,988 --> 00:07:49,643 water or mercury. 213 00:07:49,643 --> 00:07:52,646 >> SCHAUBERGER: My grandfather 214 00:07:52,646 --> 00:07:53,908 Viktor Schauberger made some 215 00:07:53,908 --> 00:07:55,431 big inventions. 216 00:07:55,431 --> 00:07:57,738 Inventions that lead maybe back 217 00:07:57,738 --> 00:07:59,696 to ancient times. 218 00:07:59,696 --> 00:08:02,090 This is the so-called Repulsin, 219 00:08:02,090 --> 00:08:04,092 or Repulsinein German. 220 00:08:04,092 --> 00:08:06,529 It was meant to be some kind of 221 00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:09,097 propulsion system mounted in a 222 00:08:09,097

wanted to use 433 00:15:55,476 --> 00:16:00,046 it for aircraft, discoid flying 434 00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:01,090 saucers. 435 00:16:01,090 --> 00:16:02,178 >> NARRATOR: According to their 436 00:16:02,178 --> 00:16:04,354 beliefs, the Vril could tap into 437 00:16:04,354 --> 00:16:06,182 this energy because they were 438 00:16:06,182 --> 00:16:07,357 the direct descendants of 439 00:16:07,357 --> 00:16:09,185 extraterrestrials from the 440 00:16:09,185 --> 00:16:11,100 Aldabaran solar system that 441 00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,928 had come to Earth in the distant 442 00:16:12,928 --> 00:16:14,886 past. 443 00:16:14,886 --> 00:16:16,540 Members of this pure master race 444 00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:19,282 were known as Aryans. 445 00:16:19,282 --> 00:16:21,197 >> BIRNES: They believed that 446 00:16:21,197 --> 00:16:23,112 Aryans ascended from a race of 447 00:16:23,112 --> 00:16:25,027 E.T.'s and these E.T.'s imbued 448 00:16:25,027 --> 00:16:28,030 this Aryan race with tremendous 449 00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,989 power and meant for them to be 450 00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,903 the master race on Earth. 451 00:16:31,903 --> 00:16:33,209 And that was, in part, the 452 00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:36,256 justification for the Nazi 453 00:16:36,256 --> 00:16:39,128 political party to establish the 454 00:16:39,128 --> 00:16:41,043 Aryan supremacy on the planet 455 00:16:41,043 --> 00:16:43,089 Earth. 456 00:16:43,089 --> 00:16:44,481 >> NARRATOR: When the Nazi Party 457 00:16:44,481 --> 00:16:47,484 swept into power in 1933, the 458 00:16:47,484 --> 00:16:49,573 Vril encouraged Hitler and his 459 00:16:49,573 --> 00:16:52,054 henchmen to fund a worldwide 460 00:16:52,054 --> 00:16:53,621 search for ancient alternative 461 00:16:53,621 --> 00:16:56,319 technologies. 462 00:16:56,319 --> 00:16:58,147 German scientists and 463 00:16:58,147 --> 00:17:00,236 researchers scoured the planet 464 00:17:00,236 --> 00:17:03,022 for ancient texts and relics... 465 00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:05,198 such as the Holy Grail... 466 00:17:05,198 --> 00:17:08,070 and the Ark of the Covenant. 467 00:17:08,070 --> 00:17:10,029 According to legend, these 468 00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:12,161 biblical artifacts contained 469 00:17:12,161 --> 00:17:14,033 powerful energies that could be 470 00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,165 harnessed and used as weapons. 471 00:17:16,165 --> 00:17:17,079 >> ROBERT CARGILL: The Ark of 472 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:18,559 the Covenant was said to be a 473 00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:20,343 wooden box that was overlaid 474 00:17:20,343 --> 00:17:22,215 in gold, and the Israelites 475 00:17:22,215 --> 00:17:24,086 were said to revere this box 476 00:17:24,086 --> 00:17:27,046 because it represented God. 477 00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:28,917 The Ark of the Covenant is said 478 00:17:28,917 --> 00:17:30,397 to possess tremendous power. 479 00:17:30,397 --> 00:17:34,227 Whoever touched it dies. 480 00:17:34,227 --> 00:17:36,185 Any army that marches with the 481 00:17:36,185 --> 00:17:37,143 Ark of the Covenant can defeat 482 00:17:37,143 --> 00:17:38,144 any other army. 483 00:17:38,144 --> 00:17:39,884 And this is part of the lore 484 00:17:39,884 --> 00:17:41,060 and the legend of the Ark of the 485 00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:43,062 Covenant. 486 00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,193 >> NARRATOR: But did Hitler 487 00:17:44,193 --> 00:17:45,499 really believe these tales to be 488 00:17:45,499 --> 00:17:46,891 true? 489 00:17:46,891 --> 00:17:48,154 Did he view the Bible as a 490 00:17:48,154 --> 00:17:49,546 history book? 491 00:17:49,546 --> 00:17:50,591 >> CHILDRESS: When you see, 492 00:17:50,591 --> 00:17:52,332 like, the Indiana Jones movies, 493 00:17:52,332 --> 00:17:55,422 which tend to focus on these 494 00:17:55,422 --> 00:17:58,164 secret Nazi occult expeditions 495 00:17:58,164 --> 00:17:59,556 around the world to find the Ark 496 00:17:59,556 --> 00:18:01,167 of the Covenant or the Spear of 497 00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:02,603 Destiny or some secret libraries 498 00:18:02,603 --> 00:18:05,345 and aliens, while those movies 499 00:18:05,345 --> 00:18:07,129 are fiction, they're very much 500 00:18:07,129 --> 00:18:09,610 based on truth. 501 00:18:09,610 --> 00:18:11,090 >> NOORY: Hitler was obsessed 502 00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:12,265 with trying to find the Ark of 503 00:18:12,265 --> 00:18:13,266 the Covenant. 504 00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:15,833 It was far more important, I 505 00:18:15,833 --> 00:18:17,270 think, than just some religious 506 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:19,228 belief. 507 00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:21,056 I think the Ark of the Covenant 508 00:18:21,056 --> 00:18:22,275 had a function, whatever it 509 00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:24,320 might have been. 510 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,365 >> GRAHAM HANCOCK: In the Book 511 00:18:25,365 --> 00:18:26,844 of Exodus, there's a very 512 00:18:26,844 --> 00:18:28,324 detailed description of the Ark 513 00:18:28,324 --> 00:18:29,325 of the Covenant. 514 00:18:29,325 --> 00:18:30,457 Supposedly it was the box that 515 00:18:30,457 --> 00:18:32,154 was constructed to contain the 516 00:18:32,154 --> 00:18:33,895 two tablets of the Ten 517 00:18:33,895 --> 00:18:37,203 Commandments... 518 00:18:37,203 --> 00:18:39,118 which were irradiated with 519 00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:40,336 divine power because they had 520 00:18:40,336 --> 00:18:41,859 been touched by the finger of 521 00:18:41,859 --> 00:18:43,296 God. 522 00:18:43,296 --> 00:18:44,253 As soon as the tablets are 523 00:18:44,253 --> 00:18:45,559 placed inside the box, if you 524 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:47,213 look at the biblical accounts, 525 00:18:47,213 --> 00:18:48,953 that box becomes dangerous. 526 00:18:48,953 --> 00:18:50,912 It starts striking people dead. 527 00:18:50,912 --> 00:18:52,435 Strange voices emerge from it. 528 00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:54,045 They weren't far off in the 529 00:18:54,045 --> 00:18:55,482 Indiana Jones movie when it was 530 00:18:55,482 --> 00:18:57,353 described as a radio for talking 531 00:18:57,353 --> 00:18:59,268 described as a radio for talking to God. 532 00:18:59,268 --> 00:19:03,272 to God. 533 00:19:03,272 --> 00:19:04,491 >> NARRATOR: At his headquarters 534 00:19:04,491 --> 00:19:06,536 in Wewelsburg Castle, SS 535 00:19:06,536 --> 00:19:08,321 Commander Heinrich Himmler 536 00:19:08,321 --> 00:19:11,280 brought in psychics and mediums 537 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,195 who claimed they could contact 538 00:19:13,195 --> 00:19:15,980 extraterrestrial beings. 539 00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:17,547 One of these was an influential 540 00:19:17,547 --> 00:19:19,245 member of the Vril Society named 541 00:19:19,245 --> 00:19:22,335 Maria Orsic. 542 00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:24,380 >> MARRS: Maria Orsic headed a 543 00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:26,165 group of women known as the 544 00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:29,342 "Vriligen," or the female Vril 545 00:19:29,342 --> 00:19:30,299 members. 546 00:19:30,299 --> 00:19:31,909 And they were beautiful women. 547 00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:33,215 They grew their hair very long 548 00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:34,260 because they felt like their 549 00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:35,522 long hair could act as an 550 00:19:35,522 --> 00:19:38,002 antenna to the universal Vril 551 00:19:38,002 --> 00:19:39,090 energy. 552 00:19:39,090 --> 00:19:40,527 >> BIRNES: They believed that 553 00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:42,529 extraterrestrials, non-human 554 00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:45,401 force, was right here on planet 555 00:19:45,401 --> 00:19:46,402 Earth. 556 00:19:46,402 --> 00:19:47,273 And they were the ones who 557 00:19:47,273 --> 00:19:49,318 inspired the early technology 558 00:19:49,318 --> 00:19:51,451 to develop circular-shaped 559 00:19:51,451 --> 00:19:53,322 craft based on images that 560 00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:56,282 they'd seen of flying saucers. 561 00:19:56,282 --> 00:19:58,414 They inspired Schauberger. 562 00:19:58,414 --> 00:20:00,547 They inspired other developers 563 00:20:00,547 --> 00:20:02,331 to look into the possibility 564 00:20:02,331 --> 00:20:04,507 that these disc-shaped craft 565 00:20:04,507 --> 00:20:06,335 could fly through some sort of 566 00:20:06,335 --> 00:20:08,207 antigravity, some sort of 567 00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:10,557 levitation. 568 00:20:10,557 --> 00:20:12,211 The Germans were able to 569 00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:14,865 develop a technology so far in 570 00:20:14,865 --> 00:20:16,563 advance of the Allied 571 00:20:16,563 --> 00:20:19,870 technology, that people said 572 00:20:19,870 --> 00:20:22,046 they were helped by 573 00:20:22,046 --> 00:20:24,048 extraterrestrials. 574 00:20:24,048 --> 00:20:26,181 In fact, the one quote we have 575 00:20:26,181 --> 00:20:28,052 was from Hermann Oberth, and Dr. 576 00:20:28,052 --> 00:20:29,271 Oberth was in the German 577 00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:30,446 rocketry program. 578 00:20:30,446 --> 00:20:32,405 Hermann Oberth said, quote, "We 579 00:20:32,405 --> 00:20:34,581 were helped by people from other 580 00:20:34,581 --> 00:20:37,497 worlds." 581 00:20:37,497 --> 00:20:39,455 >> NARRATOR: Was it possible 582 00:20:39,455 --> 00:20:41,240 that the Nazis made contact 583 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,503 with extraterrestrial beings? 584 00:20:43,503 --> 00:20:46,332 If so, might the Germans have 585 00:20:46,332 --> 00:20:48,464 received other advanced alien 586 00:20:48,464 --> 00:20:50,205 technologies? 587 00:20:50,205 --> 00:20:53,252 Just how close did Hitler come 588 00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:54,470 to building the deadliest 589 00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:57,081 weapon in the history of the 590 00:20:57,081 --> 00:20:58,996 weapon in the history of the world? 591 00:20:58,996 --> 00:21:02,435 world? 592 00:21:02,435 --> 00:21:05,481 >> NARRATOR: Berlin, 1938. 593 00:21:05,481 --> 00:21:08,354 The world took its first step 594 00:21:08,354 --> 00:21:11,487 towards the atomic age when 595 00:21:11,487 --> 00:21:12,923 German chemists Otto Hahn and 596 00:21:12,923 --> 00:21:15,361 Fritz Strassmann split uranium 597 00:21:15,361 --> 00:21:17,667 atoms and inadvertently 598 00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:20,366 discovered fission, the basis 599 00:21:20,366 --> 00:21:22,281 discovered fission, the basis of nuclear energy. 600 00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:25,371 of nuclear energy. 601 00:21:25,371 --> 00:21:27,808 >> DENNIN: When you have atoms 602 00:21:27,808 --> 00:21:29,288 either break apart or come 603 00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:31,377 together, you lose a small 604 00:21:31,377 --> 00:21:32,378 amount of mass. 605 00:21:32,378 --> 00:21:33,422 It turns out the amount of 606 00:21:33,422 --> 00:21:34,728 energy in mass is related to 607 00:21:34,728 --> 00:21:36,556 the mass times the speed of 608 00:21:36,556 --> 00:21:37,774 light, squared. 609 00:21:37,774 --> 00:21:38,775 And the speed of light is such 610 00:21:38,775 --> 00:21:40,690 a huge number, that's what 611 00:21:40,690 --> 00:21:42,344 converts this small amount of 612 00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:43,563 mass into a huge amount of 613 00:21:43,563 --> 00:21:45,608 energy. 614

00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:29,652 breakthrough? 631 00:22:29,652 --> 00:22:31,393 Or might these scientists have 632 00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:33,700 rediscovered an ancient source 633 00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:36,529 rediscovered an ancient source of unimaginable power? 634 00:22:36,529 --> 00:22:42,491 of unimaginable power? 635 00:22:42,491 --> 00:22:45,712 Deformed skeletons and 636 00:22:45,712

city of Harappa, India. 640 00:22:57,463 --> 00:23:00,596 And the Biblical cities of Sodom 641 00:23:00,596 --> 00:23:02,250 and Gomorrah. 642 00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:04,513 According to the ancient 643 00:23:04,513 --> 00:23:06,472 astronaut theory, the first 644 00:23:06,472 --> 00:23:08,822 atomic blasts may not have 645 00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:13,653 occurred during the 1940s, but 646 00:23:13,653 --> 00:23:15,568 thousands of years earlier. 647 00:23:15,568 --> 00:23:16,569 >> CHILDRESS: What they found 648 00:23:16,569 --> 00:23:19,572 in these cities-- Mohenjo Daro, 649 00:23:19,572 --> 00:23:22,270 Harappa, Kot Diji, others of 650 00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:23,663 these Harappan cities-- they 651 00:23:23,663 --> 00:23:25,621 found people just lying dead in 652 00:23:25,621 --> 00:23:26,492 the streets. 653 00:23:26,492 --> 00:23:28,276 It was like some doom had just 654 00:23:28,276 --> 00:23:31,018 taken over these cities. 655 00:23:31,018 --> 00:23:33,760 Some theorists have proposed 656 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,936 that what happened to Sodom and 657 00:23:35,936 --> 00:23:38,286 Gomorrah, two cities right at 658 00:23:38,286 --> 00:23:40,680 the end of the Dead Sea, was 659 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,812 some kind of nuclear explosion 660 00:23:42,812 --> 00:23:44,858 that wiped this area out. 661 00:23:44,858 --> 00:23:47,687 Lot's wife was allegedly turned 662 00:23:47,687 --> 00:23:49,602 into a pillar of salt. 663 00:23:49,602 --> 00:23:52,300 The idea there would be that 664 00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,606 when there is a nuclear 665 00:23:53,606 --> 00:23:56,217 explosion, people are suddenly 666 00:23:56,217 --> 00:23:58,524 vaporized, incinerated, 667 00:23:58,524 --> 00:24:01,483 mineralized. 668 00:24:01,483 --> 00:24:02,658 [explosion booms] 669 00:24:02,658 --> 00:24:05,400 >> CREMO: When an atomic bomb 670 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,534 explodes, the heat is so intense 671 00:24:08,534 --> 00:24:10,579 that it melts the silicon in 672 00:24:10,579 --> 00:24:13,539 the sand into glass. 673 00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:16,759 There are some reports that 674 00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:20,850 such fields of fused sand, of 675 00:24:20,850 --> 00:24:24,593 glass, have been found in places 676 00:24:24,593 --> 00:24:26,726 including India. 677 00:24:26,726 --> 00:24:28,728 But, if they do exist, this 678 00:24:28,728 --> 00:24:30,817 would confirm the descriptions 679 00:24:30,817 --> 00:24:32,383 given in the ancient Sanskrit 680 00:24:32,383 --> 00:24:34,429 writings that the people of 681 00:24:34,429 --> 00:24:36,649 those times had weapons 682 00:24:36,649 --> 00:24:38,302 resembling our modern nuclear 683 00:24:38,302 --> 00:24:39,347 weapons. 684 00:24:39,347 --> 00:24:41,480 They were called brahmastras. 685 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,611 >> NARRATOR: According to the 686 00:24:42,611 --> 00:24:45,396 Hindu texts, the brahmastras 687 00:24:45,396 --> 00:24:46,528 came from gods. 688 00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:48,574 But who were these supernatural 689 00:24:48,574 --> 00:24:50,184 beings? 690 00:24:50,184 --> 00:24:51,272 >> CHILDRESS: Many of these 691 00:24:51,272 --> 00:24:53,666 Hindu gods did look different 692 00:24:53,666 --> 00:24:55,537 than humans. 693 00:24:55,537 --> 00:24:56,756 Generally they're often 694 00:24:56,756 --> 00:24:58,758 depicted as having blue skin, 695 00:24:58,758 --> 00:25:01,761 and that may well be describing 696 00:25:01,761 --> 00:25:03,327 extraterrestrials. 697 00:25:03,327 --> 00:25:05,678 >> NARRATOR: Could Hitler have 698 00:25:05,678 --> 00:25:06,548 been aware of these same 699 00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:08,419 ancient accounts? 700 00:25:08,419 --> 00:25:10,726 Might that have been the reason 701 00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:12,423 behind Nazi Germany's 702 00:25:12,423 --> 00:25:13,773 archeological and scientific 703 00:25:13,773 --> 00:25:16,689 trips to India and Africa? 704 00:25:16,689 --> 00:25:18,386 >> NOORY: The Nazis were 705 00:25:18,386 --> 00:25:19,692 looking for something. 706 00:25:19,692 --> 00:25:21,650 They were looking for some kind 707 00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:24,392 of technology that the ancients 708 00:25:24,392 --> 00:25:26,786 possessed that we had lost, and 709 00:25:26,786 --> 00:25:28,614 they wanted to find it, and they 710 00:25:28,614 --> 00:25:30,616 wanted to find it fast. 711 00:25:30,616 --> 00:25:31,747 >> CHILDRESS: Throughout the 712 00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:33,575 Middle East and also in ancient 713 00:25:33,575 --> 00:25:35,664 India, there's stories of jinn, 714 00:25:35,664 --> 00:25:38,667 these genies, they've got magic 715 00:25:38,667 --> 00:25:41,235 powers, magic lamps, flying 716 00:25:41,235 --> 00:25:43,237 carpets and things like that. 717 00:25:43,237 --> 00:25:46,283 So in my mind, it's quite 718 00:25:46,283 --> 00:25:48,329 possible that this ancient jinn 719 00:25:48,329 --> 00:25:50,505 are really the ancient aliens 720 00:25:50,505 --> 00:25:53,290 with all their technology and 721 00:25:53,290 --> 00:25:55,205 with all their technology and aircraft. 722 00:25:55,205 --> 00:25:57,773 aircraft. 723 00:25:57,773 --> 00:25:58,774 >> NARRATOR: Did Hitler and the 724 00:25:58,774 --> 00:26:00,602 Nazis uncover any ancient 725 00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:03,692 atomic secrets? 726 00:26:03,692 --> 00:26:06,173 Just how close did they come to 727 00:26:06,173 --> 00:26:08,567 developing the ultimate weapon? 728 00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,481 And how much of their quest was 729 00:26:10,481 --> 00:26:13,572 guided by an outside hand? 730 00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:16,575 In a secret lecture in February 731 00:26:16,575 --> 00:26:19,621 1942, German physicist Werner 732 00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:21,710 Heisenberg spoke of building a 733 00:26:21,710 --> 00:26:23,799 nuclear reactor designed to 734 00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:25,758 control fission and enable 735 00:26:25,758 --> 00:26:27,760 uranium to be converted into 736 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,370 plutonium. 737 00:26:29,370 --> 00:26:30,850 >> DENNIN: In layman's terms, 738 00:26:30,850 --> 00:26:32,242 how the atomic bomb works, it's 739 00:26:32,242 --> 00:26:34,723 basically two stages. 740 00:26:34,723 --> 00:26:36,333 The key element is you have to 741 00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:38,553 get uranium to split. 742 00:26:38,553 --> 00:26:41,600 So you need a trigger for this 743 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,862 reaction to happen. 744 00:26:42,862 --> 00:26:44,385 And then you need it to have 745 00:26:44,385 --> 00:26:44,864 what they call a 746 00:26:44,864 --> 00:26:45,734 "critical mass." 747 00:26:45,734 --> 00:26:47,214 Enough of it together that once 748 00:26:47,214 --> 00:26:48,345 you get it to happen in one 749 00:26:48,345 --> 00:26:49,520 place, it can cause the next 750 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,609 reaction, and next reaction, 751 00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:51,610 and next reaction. 752 00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:52,654 So it's actually a series of 753 00:26:52,654 --> 00:26:55,657 explosions. 754 00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:57,703 >> NARRATOR: Hitler was now on 755 00:26:57,703 --> 00:26:59,269 the brink of having an atomic 756 00:26:59,269 --> 00:27:00,488 bomb. 757 00:27:00,488 --> 00:27:01,707 But then the Germans suddenly 758 00:27:01,707 --> 00:27:04,187 stopped trying to build one. 759 00:27:04,187 --> 00:27:06,712 But why did the Germans give up 760 00:27:06,712 --> 00:27:09,715 on their atomic program? 761 00:27:09,715 --> 00:27:11,455 Most mainstream historians 762 00:27:11,455 --> 00:27:13,153 believe it was due to its high 763 00:27:13,153 --> 00:27:14,633 cost and commitment amid a 764 00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:17,636 losing war effort. 765 00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:19,638 Others suggest that the German 766 00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:21,378 scientists lacked the knowledge 767 00:27:21,378 --> 00:27:23,729 or possibly even sabotaged the 768 00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:25,905 project in fear of what Hitler 769 00:27:25,905 --> 00:27:28,559 would do with his new weapon. 770 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:29,822 >> NOORY: The Germans came very 771 00:27:29,822 --> 00:27:32,476 close to developing a weapon 772 00:27:32,476 --> 00:27:34,217 that would have allowed them to 773 00:27:34,217 --> 00:27:35,523 win the war. 774 00:27:35,523 --> 00:27:38,482 All I can say is, "Thank God we 775 00:27:38,482 --> 00:27:40,571 beat them to the punch," because 776 00:27:40,571 --> 00:27:41,529 if they had gotten that 777 00:27:41,529 --> 00:27:44,663 technology perfected, we'd all 778 00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,795 be speaking German right now. 779 00:27:46,795 --> 00:27:49,450 >> NARRATOR: But might the Nazi 780 00:27:49,450 --> 00:27:52,540 scientists, as some suggest, 781 00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:54,673 have turned their attention to 782 00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:57,110 an even more advanced weapon, 783 00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:58,938 one that would allow Hitler's 784 00:27:58,938 --> 00:28:01,114 army to travel through both 785 00:28:01,114 --> 00:28:04,552 army to travel through both space and time? 786 00:28:04,552 --> 00:28:08,904 space and time? 787 00:28:08,904 --> 00:28:10,689 >> NARRATOR: In a remote valley 788 00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:12,125 just outside Ludwikowice, 789 00:28:12,125 --> 00:28:16,259 Poland stands a strange 790 00:28:16,259 --> 00:28:19,915 circular structure known as the 791 00:28:19,915 --> 00:28:23,702 circular structure known as the Henge... or Fly Trap. 792 00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:28,924 Henge... or Fly Trap. 793 00:28:28,924 --> 00:28:29,925 >> IGOR WITKOWSKI: We are in 794 00:28:29,925 --> 00:28:31,971 the middle of a valley, which 795 00:28:31,971 --> 00:28:34,669 was taken over by the SS and 796 00:28:34,669 --> 00:28:36,236 transformed into a secret 797 00:28:36,236 --> 00:28:37,846 research, development and 798 00:28:37,846 --> 00:28:40,022 industrial facility. 799 00:28:40,022 --> 00:28:43,722 It was closely guarded. 800 00:28:43,722 --> 00:28:45,854 Inside of this valley, we have 801 00:28:45,854 --> 00:28:47,943 three security rings, closing 802 00:28:47,943 --> 00:28:51,991 specific areas from each other. 803 00:28:51,991 --> 00:28:54,863 Inside of the innermost circle, 804 00:28:54,863 --> 00:28:56,952 this structure stands, and it's 805 00:28:56,952 --> 00:29:01,000 quite mysterious. 806 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,829 >> NARRATOR: Mainstream scholars 807 00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:05,656 believe the structure served as 808 00:29:05,656 --> 00:29:07,310 the concrete support base to a 809 00:29:07,310 --> 00:29:09,051 cooling tower used by a coal 810 00:29:09,051 --> 00:29:10,879 mine. 811 00:29:10,879 --> 00:29:12,968 But according to Witkowski and 812 00:29:12,968 --> 00:29:15,275 others, the German high command 813 00:29:15,275 --> 00:29:17,233 would not have devoted so many 814 00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:19,322 military resources here if the 815 00:29:19,322 --> 00:29:21,063

819 00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:30,986 machine known as Die Glocke,or 820 00:29:30,986 --> 00:29:33,032 The Bell. 821 00:29:33,032 --> 00:29:34,903 >> MARRS: The Bell, Die Glocke, 822 00:29:34,903 -->

00:37:46,046 But how had the 1057 00:37:46,046 --> 00:37:47,830 Americans discovered the key to 1058 00:37:47,830 --> 00:37:49,484 the world's first successful 1059 00:37:49,484 --> 00:37:51,312 nuclear device? 1060 00:37:51,312 --> 00:37:53,880 Did they do it themselves, or 1061 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,143 might they have had access to 1062 00:37:56,143 --> 00:37:57,710 the same ancient

translation of some 1073 00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:16,990 of the ancient Indian texts 1074 00:38:16,990 --> 00:38:18,948 with an eye towards the idea 1075 00:38:18,948 --> 00:38:20,515 that it may have had something 1076 00:38:20,515 --> 00:38:22,212 to do with the German flying 1077 00:38:22,212 --> 00:38:23,344 discs built during the Second 1078 00:38:23,344 --> 00:38:24,476 World War. 1079 00:38:24,476 --> 00:38:27,870 So this idea is a possibility. 1080 00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:29,872 >> NARRATOR: Perhaps the most 1081 00:38:29,872 --> 00:38:31,221 amazing technological 1082 00:38:31,221

of time, or greatly 1102 00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,573 enhanced by the Germans during 1103 00:39:18,573 --> 00:39:20,358 the Reich years. 1104 00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,881 The Germans pretty much 1105 00:39:21,881 --> 00:39:25,406 invented our modern world. 1106 00:39:25,406 --> 00:39:26,929 >> NARRATOR: Following the end 1107 00:39:26,929 --> 00:39:29,018 of World War II, many of 1108

00:40:36,521 most secret projects that Nazi 1141 00:40:36,521 --> 00:40:38,436 Germany was developing during 1142 00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:40,089 the war. 1143 00:40:40,089 --> 00:40:41,308 >> NARRATOR: Once in America, 1144 00:40:41,308 --> 00:40:42,875 Von Braun quickly established 1145 00:40:42,875 --> 00:40:44,354 himself as the leader of the 1146 00:40:44,354 --> 00:40:45,747 US military's burgeoning 1147 00:40:45,747 --> 00:40:47,183 rocket program. 1148 00:40:47,183 --> 00:40:48,924 He would eventually become one 1149 00:40:48,924 --> 00:40:51,579 of the key architects of NASA. 1150

00:40:56,671 --> 00:40:57,585 were essentially the V-2 1154 00:40:57,585 --> 00:40:59,152 rockets. 1155 00:40:59,152 --> 00:41:01,284 In fact, I think the only real 1156 00:41:01,284 --> 00:41:02,808 difference was that we'd taken 1157 00:41:02,808 --> 00:41:04,244 the swastikas and Iron Crosses 1158 00:41:04,244 --> 00:41:07,160 the swastikas and Iron Crosses off. 1159 00:41:07,160 -->

because the 1163 00:41:18,345 --> 00:41:19,607 fact is that there wasn't 1164 00:41:19,607 --> 00:41:20,913 an American rocket program 1165 00:41:20,913 --> 00:41:22,131 versus a Russian rocket

00:41:45,372 was doing: building underground 1179 00:41:45,372 --> 00:41:48,984 bases and factories, developing 1180 00:41:48,984 --> 00:41:51,334 secret technology. 1181 00:41:51,334 --> 00:41:54,207 And this technology was also in 1182 00:41:54,207 --> 00:41:56,165 ancient times, too, and is the 1183 00:41:56,165 --> 00:41:57,819 same technology that was used 1184 00:41:57,819 --> 00:42:01,910 in
