TSOUKALOS: There are things in this country that nobody's even dreamed of.

NARRATOR: and unexplained phenomena.

WILCOCK: When you see radar tracings, ground-based eyewitness reports,

NARRATOR: Is there more to America's past

than is found in our history books?

And could the mysterious stories and relics found throughout

the land be evidence that the American continent has

extraterrestrial origins?

CHILDRESS: America's really a very mysterious place

with all kinds of strange legends. And some of the explanations may have to do

with extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Millions of people around the world believe

we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

And if so, can the proof be found in America?

NARRATOR: Stephenville, Texas.

On the cloudless evening of January 8, 2008...

(indistinct radio transmission) ...more than a dozen people,

including a police officer and a private pilot, spot a luminous

spherical object floating silently across the sky.

It was very intense bright light and they spanned

- a wide area. - It was so fast when

it took off, you know, and it made not a sound.

NARRATOR: Radar reports released by the FAA confirm an

object without a transponder exactly where ground observers

see the UFO.

DAVID CHILDRESS: The January, 8, 2008, encounter of a giant

UFO over Stephenville, Texas, is particularly interesting.

A number of people saw this giant glowing ball of light

moving through the sky. It was picked up on the radar.

NARRATOR: According to reports, for two hours, the UFO

slowly moves some 70 miles across the Texas countryside.

Military aircraft are in the air nearby...

and radar records show that they initially made no overt

action toward the unidentified object.

DAVID WILCOCK: The first government report said

that this was not anything except for some bizarre optical

phenomena, such as a reflection of light in the sky.

But when you see people who have radar tracings, ground-based

eyewitness reports, that's not a reflection.

There's something going on here. Stephenville, Texas, certainly

implies that UFOs are a commonplace occurrence in

America, and the military stays out of the way.

NARRATOR: In the United States, there are over 6,000 UFO

sightings reported every year, more than any other country in

the world. But why?

Is there an explanation for such a high number of UFO sightings?

Could aliens have a special interest in America?

According to ancient astronaut theorists, not only are aliens

watching over America today, but in fact, they have

been visiting us for hundreds, and possibly even thousands,

of years. And they claim the evidence can

be found in the strange sites, structures and monuments that

lie in every corner of the continent.

CHILDRESS: America's really a very mysterious place with all

kinds of strange legends. So trying to put all of these

things together in context shows us that we're living in a

very unusual continent full of magic and mystery.

NARRATOR: Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio.

The kivas at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming.

Many Native American tribes say, that at these ancient sites, and

countless others, entities that they call "star beings" came

down from the sky to teach their ancestors.

CLIFFORD MAHOOTY: To the Zuni people and other tribes

there's a spiritual connection with the star beings.

They're the ones that actually rule the universe,

or the world that we're on.

If you look at the petroglyphs, there's a lot of references

to those type of entities.

NARRATOR: According to tribes like the Zuni and Hopi, stories

of these otherworldly visitations exist not only in

the oral traditions passed down from their ancestors, but also

in petroglyphs carved into rock all across America.

On the Zuni pueblo in New Mexico, there are literally

thousands of ancient carvings that most outsiders have never

laid eyes on, and the Zuni claim that some of these

petroglyphs depict visitations from star beings.

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: There's definitely evidence that aliens

visited North America in a distant past, and there are

petroglyphs throughout this part

of the country carved by ancient

Americans that depict just that.

What can you tell me about this petroglyph right here?

MAHOOTY: You know, it's, if you can see on top of that where

maybe a head would be, it's kind of eroded off.

TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm. MAHOOTY: But on the next part

of it there's four compartments, look like extension

- of something sticking out. TSOUKALOS: Yeah, almost like legs.

MAHOOTY: It could be something that they saw in the air.

TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm. Isn't there a legend that beings

- visited on top of this mountain? - Oh, yes.

- on all of the mesas. - In conjunction

with all the stories of star people descending from the sky

in fiery shields and things like this, when I see a pattern like

that, I always think, "What if this is something that they saw",

and then they carved onto a rock?"

MAHOOTY: And a lot of these are sacred drawings.

They're just not graffiti, like a lot of people say they are.

TSOUKALOS: No, never. MAHOOTY: There was no such

thing as that in those days. Look at that triangle up there.

TSOUKALOS: And you've got the dots around it that have been

carved into the rock that remind me of, like, stars.

NARRATOR: Could the ancient people in this part of America

really have been trying to depict encounters with alien spacecraft?

TSOUKALOS: There are legends and myths

all around the world that can be interpreted

as having been visits by extraterrestrials.

And many think that such stories don't exist here in

the United States. But the fact is that there are

things in this country that nobody's even dreamed of.

NARRATOR: According to ancient astronaut theorists,

there is evidence that otherworldly beings were not

only witnessed by Native Americans, but also by the

European colonists. And curiously, one of the

earliest UFO sightings reported in the colonies

occurred in an area that the local Wampanoag Nation claimed

was a point of contact with star beings.

The Hockomock Swamp, southeastern Massachusetts.

Located 25 miles south of Boston in and around the

suburban town of Bridgewater, this vast wetland is infamous

for being the heart of the Bridgewater Triangle.

According to Native American legends, this 200-square-mile

region has been a hotbed of UFO sightings dating back to before

Columbus arrived in the New World.

CHRIS PITTMAN: Within the Bridgewater Triangle, a huge

amount of interesting paranormal activity has been reported,

including very high numbers of UFO sightings.

Some people speculate that maybe it's the presence

of the Hockomock Swamp.

The very name Hockomock means "place where evil spirits dwell."

European colonists settled this area

in the 17th century. But the stories of paranormal

activity here go back long before that time.

Time and time again we see stories about beings

that live in the sky, flying canoes, what are

apparently spaceships that land, people that get out and interact

with the Native Americans.

NARRATOR: On May 10, 1760, in this same area

where Native Americans say star beings

interacted with humans, European colonists reported seeing

mysterious lights in the sky. The account appeared in a

publication that was read throughout the English-speaking

world called The Gentleman's Magazine.

TSOUKALOS: According to historical records, at

10:00 a.m., a sphere of fire appeared that emitted a light

bright enough to cast a shadow in bright sunlight.

And this object was reported to be seen not only in

Bridgewater, but also in Roxbury over 30 miles away.

Now that's interesting to me because the fact that people in

two different cities reported seeing the same thing at the

same time, to me, says that they really saw something.

PITTMAN: It was seen by a huge number of people.

And one observer remarked that the sound that this giant ball

of light made was heard more in the middle of its travel than at

the beginning. Which, I think, is a very

interesting detail that does correlate, to some extent, with

more modern UFO reports.

WILCOCK: The Bridgewater sighting of 1760 is

just one of many incredible events that took place in

colonial America.

It was mysterious. It was the frontier.

Something was up there in the sky way before any

powered flight had been invented by modern humanity.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the strange lights seen over the

Bridgewater Triangle were produced by the same alien

beings that exist in Native American legend?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and claim that a recent

archeological find suggests that extraterrestrials have not

only been visiting America from the time of our

earliest known civilizations, but even centuries before

recorded history began.

NARRATOR: Western Nevada, 2013.

On the west side of the dried-up Winnemucca Lake,

researchers take samples from a group of ancient

petroglyphs carved into limestone boulders.

Radiocarbon tests performed by the University of Colorado,

Boulder, reveal that the petroglyphs were etched between

10,500 and 14,800 years ago, making them the oldest

petroglyphs ever found in North America.

WILCOCK: Winnemucca Lake in Nevada is the site of

petroglyphs that date all the way back to 8,000 BC.

That is amazing because right here in America we now have

absolute proof of a civilization that predates

the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia by over 3,000 years

minimum, and there's nothing else like them.

CHILDRESS: Looking at some of these petroglyphs, you've got to

wonder if these aren't being drawn by early Americans

who are interacting with extraterrestrials, and then

drawing what they think they see.

WILCOCK: When we look at the petroglyphs themselves, the

actual designs, we also find very unusual formations,

including spirals. This is something that we see

very consistently in many ancient cultures...

which is often associated with the shape of the galaxies.

They may be aware that they were a part of a galaxy.

Who gave them this information? How did they obtain this?

Why would they make these illustrations?

NICK REDFERN: This has given rise to the theory that

could there have been civilizations not dissimilar to

ours, but thousands of years ago, or tens of thousands of

years ago that have now become lost to the fog of time.

This inevitably sort of raises the question, does the human

race go in cycles, you know? We're a warlike species.

Will we one day be somebody's memory and somebody's folklore,

and they think they're the first?

NARRATOR: Could these petroglyphs, that predate even

the earliest known Native American tribes, be evidence of

an ancient lost civilization? And if so, might other, even

more profound secrets lie hidden in North America

waiting to be discovered?

The Grand Canyon. Located in the American

Southwest, this enormous gorge is 277 miles long

and a mile deep. Much of it is remote

and rarely traveled. (bird screeching)

In 1909, an explorer named G.E. Kincaid was boating through the

canyon on the Colorado River when he noticed stains in the

sediment on the east wall of a canyon gorge.

According to his account, when he stopped to get a closer look,

he found the entrance to what appeared to be a man-made cave.

CHILDRESS: Kincaid saw what he thought was an

ancient gold mine.

As he climbed up onto the walls of the canyon to investigate it,

what he really discovered was not an ancient mine

but a labyrinth of rooms and tunnels cut into the side of the

canyon that went back hundreds, even thousands of feet.

GARY DAVID: There were passageways radiating from

this main chamber. He found stone tablets with

Egyptian-style hieroglyphics.

He also came to another chamber, and it contained a

marble-carved statue of Buddha sitting in a lotus posture

holding a lotus in each hand.

CHILDRESS: There was all kinds of statues made of bronze,

and mummies as well.

He described them as Egyptian and Tibetan kind of things.

So therefore, he believed he had discovered some vast

secret city and treasure inside the Grand Canyon.

NARRATOR: Anxious to spread the news of his extraordinary

find, Kincaid reportedly made his way to Phoenix, where he

told his story to a reporter for the local newspaper.

He then contacted his employer, the Smithsonian Institution.

CHILDRESS: They sent an archaeologist named Jordan.

And Jordan then examined the caves.

The Smithsonian allegedly began excavating and removing the

artifacts out of the secret caves.

And supposedly, they were all sent back to Washington D.C.

NARRATOR: But mysteriously, there was no follow-up

to the story, and G.E. Kincaid was never heard from again.

CHILDRESS: The caves were apparently sealed up, metal

doors and gates put over them. The National Park now denies any

knowledge or existence of these caves or cave entrances.

And if you talk to the Smithsonian today, they will

deny any knowledge of the secret city in the Grand Canyon, or

that an archaeologist named Jordan worked for the

Smithsonian. And in fact, essentially, the

knowledge of the secret city in the Grand Canyon has completely

disappeared from history.

NARRATOR: How is it that such an incredible story...

that the Arizona Gazette reported in two

separate articles dated a month apart... was suddenly dropped?

Was Kincaid the victim of a cover-up?

And if so, what was it that the American government didn't want

the public to know? According to his own

description, Kincaid's cave lies in one of the most remote and

inaccessible parts of the Grand Canyon.

And since a government permit is required to enter this

treacherous terrain, few people have ever been able to explore

the area where the cave was allegedly found.

LOGAN HAWKES: If, in fact, there are artifacts that exist

from Egypt or from the Orient in the United States and they

predate history as we know it, it would completely change

everything we know about our own history.

We'd have to rewrite our history books.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that G.E. Kincaid really did find

Egyptian and Oriental artifacts in a cave in the Grand Canyon?

And if so, how did they get here?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found

by examining the stories of the Native American tribes of the

Southwest, who say there is a connection between the Grand

Canyon and star beings.

According to the Hopi, just before a catastrophic event

struck the area where their ancestors lived, these star

beings led them to safety. The Native Americans followed an

object in the sky night and day to the Grand Canyon, where they found refuge.

HAWKES: The Hopi believe that

they were taken to an underground or subterranean city

where they were nurtured and progressed through levels to

emerge, eventually, on the surface of the Earth.

They emerged through a hole called a sipapu.

It's a very holy place to the Hopi nation.

The sipapu in the Grand Canyon... we know there is such a place.

MAHOOTY: This is our Garden of Eden, where we had the

beginning of the present world.

We hold the Grand Canyon as a very reverent place that came

out after the last catastrophe into the present day systems

that we have.

NARRATOR: The Hopi elders only recently revealed the Grand

Canyon as the site of their sipapu, causing some to

question whether this might be the same cave dwelling G.E.

Kincaid claimed to have found in 1909.

But the exact location remains a mystery.

CHILDRESS: Supposedly, the entrance into this underground

city of the Grand Canyon is on this eastern part, on these

slopes right over here. We were able to get to the edge

of the canyon to look down, but it's hundreds of feet straight

down on cliffs into this area of the Grand Canyon.

It's just almost impossible to get a good look or see what is in this park.

NARRATOR: Could extraterrestrials really have led ancient Native Americans

to this nearly inaccessible area of the Grand Canyon?

Whether Kincaid's cave really exists remains a mystery, but

some ancient astronaut theorists believe indisputable proof of

extraterrestrial contact can be found today some thousands of

miles away in the American Midwest.

NARRATOR: Henry County, Missouri.

July 19, 2013. (cattle lowing)

Driving across her land, rancher Lyn Mitchell comes upon a

horrific sight:

one of her Black Angus cows lies dead and maimed in a field.

PITTMAN: The tongue had been removed. The udders, the anus and the

reproductive organs had also been removed.

The veterinarian ruled out blunt trauma as the cause of death.

In fact, no cause of death at all could be determined.

NARRATOR: The Mitchell event is just the latest in a

half-century long epidemic of mysterious animal mutilations

that have occurred all across America.

Although experts say they don't know exactly how many animals

have been affected, they estimate the number ranges from

1,000 to 2,000 a year for the past 20 years.

Investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe was working for CBS

News in Denver, Colorado, in 1979 when she witnessed

firsthand the strange, precise injuries inflicted on animals.

LINDA MOULTON HOWE: We flew do to San Luis, Colorado,

because I had gotten a phone call from a sheriff there and

he's telling me, "You need to see this."

We start crossing a field and using our arms to get through thick willows.

Pushing the tree branches. And when we got into this space

underneath these trees, it didn't seem possible.

Here was a black and white steer and it was lying

perfectly, like it should get up.

There's no violence. But there was a perfect circle

around that left eye that's up. The hide had been removed just

down to the bone. And then the left jaw was

perfectly removed, the tongue is removed and there's not a single

broken branch.

NARRATOR: Curiously, researchers say that in almost

every animal mutilation case, the organs appear to be the target.

PITTMAN: These are very carefully removed. Not torn out.

Not chewed away. But precisely and carefully cut

away with what appear to be surgical-type incisions.

There's never any blood found near these carcasses.

In fact, most times there is no blood within the carcasses themselves.

HOWE: When you're dealing

with natural predators such as coyotes, you're dealing with

lots of blood. It's an entirely different

process and does not produce these clean, bloodless excisions.

NARRATOR: Are these animal mutilations truly extraordinary?

Or are farmers and ranchers

simply mistaken about how the animals died?

Dr. Jim Reynolds is a professor of livestock medicine at Western

University in Pomona, California.

Over the course of his career, he has seen thousands of animal injuries.

After closely examining pictures

of these mutilations, he believes many of the animals

died from ordinary disease or natural predator attacks.

But he says other pictures... like this one, taken in

Caldwell, Kansas in 1992... are harder to explain.

JIM REYNOLDS: Just looking at the picture, I can't, uh, I

can't explain how this happened. What's strange about it is that

there's no evidence of-of hemorrhage or bleeding around

the area. We don't see any blood on the tissue.

As a long-time field veterinarian,

I've not seen this on a dead cow, um, in my career.

NARRATOR: Another mutilation case from 1982 also raises

questions for Dr. Reynolds, because of the surgical fashion

in which the body parts look to have been removed.

REYNOLDS: I can't really explain the removal of this ear.

It-it could have been chewed off by a scavenger, but I can't

really explain... I would expect, if this had been chewed

off, that there would be a little more tissue damage and,

um, probably fresher tissue. I'm not sure about this one.

NARRATOR: While mainstream medical professionals are unsure

who... or what... could be responsible for these attacks,

ancient astronaut theorists suggest the answer may be found

by examining strange findings reported at other mutilation sites.

PITTMAN: Sometimes, the animals are lying

on top of charred patches of ground.

Sometimes those charred patches are exactly the same size and

shape as the animals themselves. And very often there have been

reports of strange lights in the sky or on the ground in and

around the time where the mutilations are taking place.

HOWE: I have come to the conclusion the phenomena that is

behind the global animal mutilations of the last at least

100 years are extraterrestrial biological entities.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that extraterrestrials are behind the

cattle mutilation phenomenon? Ancient astronaut theorists

suggest that the evidence for this conclusion dates back much

further than just the past 50 years.

CHRISTOPHER O'BRIEN: The oldest case that I have been

able to discover is from England in 1606.

This is mentioned in James I's court records.

Hundreds of sheep were being found strangely slain and parts

were taken away, but the meat was left behind.

And the particular passage in the record has a very

interesting quote at the end. It said that these cases, or

incidences, "tendeth toward fireworks."

NARRATOR: But why would alien beings that are presumably

thousands of years more advanced than humans, choose to abduct

and maim animals? What could they want with these

extracted body parts? Some ancient astronaut theorists

believe that the explanation behind this frightening

phenomenon may be that extraterrestrials are actually

conducting experiments to benefit humankind.

REDFERN: One intriguing theory for the cattle

mutilations is that extraterrestrials might be

monitoring the cattle herd to try and determine if there are

emerging viruses that could jump from species to species.

That's to say, they infect the cattle and then we eat cattle in

the form of beef, and then we get infected, which is exactly

what happened with mad cow disease in Britain.

NARRATOR: Could these animal mutilations really be proof that

alien beings are still present in America today, continuing to

monitor our progress, and even intervening in earthly affairs?

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining strange

events witnessed by the United States military.

NARRATOR: Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, March 16, 1967.

Before dawn, sentries and maintenance crews near the

base's nuclear missile silos see mysterious lights flying back

and forth across the sky. These lights are so bright that

the men on the ground can't identify what they are, but

when one of them takes up a position just outside the base's

security fence, a sentry calls his superior to report a UFO.

(rhythmic beeping)

PITTMAN: The people on the ground were trying to make sense

of this sudden wave of sightings.

Alarms started going off. (alarm sounding)

The nuclear weapons were going off alert, which means they were

moving into a state in which they could not have been fired.

When one missile seemed to shut itself off, it was a huge deal.

There was an uproar. Um, people thought, well, there

are maintenance crews at this site.

Maybe they're doing work on it that required taking the missile

offline. They didn't notify us.

They didn't follow protocol. But when the other missiles

started to go offline in rapid succession, they realized

something really unusual was happening.

In fact, they brought in teams of engineers later to try to

figure out what had happened.

STEVEN GREER: This was documented in memoranda that went

back and forth between that facility and NORAD about how could this happen?

They were trying to explain how in the world this has happened.

'Cause this is obviously something that would be of immense

interest to the National Security people in charge of our weapons.

DON DONDERI: Boeing, who made the missiles,

could not find what was wrong with them.

They could duplicate the fault by sending electronic signals

into one part of the electronic system of the missile.

But that system was protected by shielded cables and the rest.

So how they were taken offline is not known to this day.

NARRATOR: But who... or what... was responsible for the

seemingly inexplicable nuclear shutdown?

The Washington-based Disclosure Project has done detailed

research on encounters between the military and UFOs, and based

on the evidence, they are convinced this incident was an alien encounter.

GREER: A UFO somehow took offline and rendered unlaunchable at least 16 and

maybe up to 20 intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The men who were there have told me that it wasn't just that

there was the effect, they actually did see the UFO.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that aliens at Malmstrom Air

Force Base were trying to send us a message?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe that the high number of

UFO sightings reported near military installations indicates

that aliens are not only present in America, but that they have

taken measures to shape our future.

Three, two, one.

JASON MARTELL: Ever since we detonated the first atomic

weapon, UFOs have taken an interest in our nuclear facilities.

GREER: They are wanting to see

to what extent we might be a risk to this planet

and to others who may be out in space who are peaceful.

WILCOCK: Could it be that extraterrestrials have been

visiting us now in much greater numbers since we developed the

capability to annihilate the planet with nuclear weapons

specifically to ensure that we do not do so?

NARRATOR: When a flurry of UFO sightings started being

reported in the late 1940s, some Native Americans took it as

a warning sign based on their own stories of star beings.

In 1948, a Navajo writer named Oge-Make wrote a magazine

article drawing parallels between the modern UFO

phenomenon and the experiences of the Native people who lived

in the Death Valley area of California.

DONDERI: It describes a past of the Paiute Indians,

and there was a species of human who lived in the mountains on

the west side of Death Valley who had a marvelous and

complicated civilization. It contained vast rowing boats,

as they're described in this myth. Fast flying machines.

TSOUKALOS: Oge-Make questions

white man's thinking that stories of flying saucers and

mystery ships are something new.

And he says, and I quote, "If you had red skin, you'd know

that this is not true."

He writes that his people have been seeing objects like this in

the sky for thousands of years. And he basically says that for

his people, the idea that aliens have visited Earth is no merely

a theory but it's a fact.

PITTMAN: The elder Paiute chief who told this story said that they believe that

these UFOs have an interest in our Earth.

And that they don't want to see our environment, our world,

destroyed by the actions of man.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the UFOs spotted at Malmstrom

Air Force Base in 1967 were the same entities that many Native

American tribes refer to as star beings?

And that they caused the shutdown of the nuclear

missiles to send us a message? Ancient astronaut theorists say

yes, and claim that aliens may even have played a decisive role

in the War of 1812. - Fire!

NARRATOR: According to the Colorado based, Mutual UFO Network...

the largest UFO investigative organization in the world...

in the first week of 2012, reports of UFOs in the

United States suddenly skyrocketed, with a staggering

233 reports coming in from 36 states.

And ever since, the numbers have continued to grow.

If there really are aliens still visiting Earth today,

have they taken a special interest in America?

And might they even be helping to determine our future?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer may be found

by looking back at one of the most important events in

American history.

Washington, D.C., 1814. (gunfire, cannon fire)

Two years into the bloody War of 1812...

the American hopes for victory over the invading English

Army seem to be dying. And now the unimaginable

is happening: a foreign army is poised to enter Washington D.C.

CHILDRESS: It was a very hot summer that year.

The British forces were able to completely overwhelm the very

young United States Army at the time, and they marched into

Washington, D.C.

President Monroe and all of the other politicians had left

the capital, and at that time, the British forces were finding

it basically a deserted city. So they began to set fire

to Washington, D.C., starting with the White House.

(flames crackling) And they were basically gonna

just burn down our nation's capital.

NARRATOR: The United States of America, then just a few

decades old, is on the verge of going down in flames.

But then something strange happens.

CHILDRESS: That summer day was a very hot,

sultry day, and at first, they thought this would really help

burn down Washington, D.C., there weren't any clouds

in the sky. (wind blowing)

(thunder crashes) But suddenly the weather

changed very, very drastically. Big storm clouds moved in.

(thunder crashing) It began pouring rain.

And then suddenly out of nowhere this tornado formed...

and it went straight at the British troops and forced them

to retreat. And at the same time,

the pelting rain put out all of the fires.

And Washington, D.C. was saved.

PITTMAN: History books record this as a stroke of

incredible good luck for the Americans.

But some ancient alien theorists believe that perhaps this was a

UFO encounter; that it was an

extraterrestrial intelligence that created that storm and

changed the course of that battle and perhaps

of American history.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the storm that helped the United

States win the War of 1812... was actually produced by

extraterrestrials? And if so, were they trying to

protect the fragile American experiment?

PITTMAN: It's interesting to speculate that perhaps

there was something about America that an

extraterrestrial intelligence took interest in, whether it was

freedom of religion, new ideas about democracy, about a

republic, or something else that drew the attention of aliens and

might have made them want to help this country become a success.

CHILDRESS: And I think that that would really be because the United States

as a country was, uh, prophesied to exist, in a sense.

And the extraterrestrials very much nurtured the, this young

United States and watched its growth very carefully.

Like a parent watching a child growing up and being very

protective of it, too. And when the extraterrestrials

saw this moment where the United States could lose this war and

be occupied, they decided to step in and change history.

NARRATOR: Could the mysterious sightings and strange

incidents that have been reported throughout our history

be evidence of America's extraterrestrial heritage?

WILLIAM HENRY: Since the beginning of recorded history in

North America, we've heard of these sightings.

And we today in our modern world are reencountering these same

creatures. And you have to ask:

Are they the same beings? Are they the same creatures that

have been seen for thousands of years, and now we're being asked

to find a place for them in our world?

DONDERI: I'm totally convinced that the evidence

makes it true beyond reasonable doubt that we are

being reconnoitered by extraterrestrial civilizations.

REDFERN: And the big question is why is this?

My personal view is that they could be teaching us, trying

to upgrade us. You know, we're a pretty warlike species.

Possibly somebody from out there might want to try and harness

and reign in our warlike abilities in the event that one

day we head out there as well.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that aliens have been visiting

America and watching over its inhabitants throughout

human history? Could there be evidence

that has yet to be discovered, hidden in caves...

on remote cliffs... or even in the Grand Canyon?

If there really are extraterrestrials still visiting

Earth today, might they be slowly revealing their presence

in an attempt to prepare us... for their return?
