1
00:00:00,935 --> 00:00:03,502
He is the man who
harnessed lightning.
2
00:00:03,503 --> 00:00:05,871
He really is the
quintessential wizard.
3
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:09,509
He envisioned new technologies
far before their time.
4
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:13,378
These images would
burst into his mind.
5
00:00:13,379 --> 00:00:17,884
He also claimed to have contact
with otherworldly beings.
6
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:20,452
You have to wonder
if extraterrestrials
7
00:00:20,453 --> 00:00:25,324
themselves weren't
feeding him information.
8
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:28,394
Nikola Tesla is considered
one of the most
9
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:30,896
innovative and mysterious men
10
00:00:30,897 --> 00:00:35,802
who ever lived, but was he
simply a mad genius, or might
11
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:38,904
his brilliance have had
extraterrestrial origins?
12
00:00:38,905 --> 00:00:41,406
He was actually being
communicated with
13
00:00:41,407 --> 00:00:46,546
by extraterrestrials, and
publicly proclaimed this.
14
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:49,916
Millions of people
around the world believe we have
15
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:53,753
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
16
00:00:53,754 --> 00:00:56,788
What if it were true?
17
00:00:56,789 --> 00:01:01,928
Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?
18
00:01:01,929 --> 00:01:04,930
And if so, is there a connection
19
00:01:04,931 --> 00:01:09,069
to the genius of Nikola Tesla?

Ancient Aliens

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,400
The Tesla Experiment
23
00:01:39,565 --> 00:01:42,434
New York City.
24
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:46,338
January 7, 1943.
25
00:01:46,339 --> 00:01:50,743
Famed inventor Nikola Tesla dies
of a heart attack on the
26
00:01:50,744 --> 00:01:54,480
thirty-third floor of
the Hotel New Yorker.
27
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:58,684
Within hours of his body being
discovered, his nephew arrives
28
00:01:58,685 --> 00:02:04,556
at room 3327, and discovers
Tesla's remains, as well as his
29
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:10,096
technical papers and notebooks,
have already been removed.
30
00:02:10,097 --> 00:02:14,600
Speculation spreads that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
31
00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:19,572
had seized the items and quickly
designated them "top secret."
32
00:02:19,573 --> 00:02:23,910
Nikola Tesla was
completely paranoid about
33
00:02:23,911 --> 00:02:28,013
someone trying to kill him, and
as soon as he died, U.S.
34
00:02:28,014 --> 00:02:33,052
government agents swooped in and
confiscated all of his scientific papers.
35
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:35,054
In a very short time, everything
36
00:02:35,055 --> 00:02:38,857
that he had been guarding with
this life was gone.
37
00:02:38,858 --> 00:02:43,662
The official story is that nothing
of any great significance was found.
38
00:02:43,663 --> 00:02:46,599
It was just a lot of scientific
papers and documents.
39
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,935
However, there have been a lot
of rumors over the years that
40
00:02:49,936 --> 00:02:54,673
the materials recovered was
profoundly significant in terms
41
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:58,612
of a lot of highly-advanced
scientific concepts.
42
00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:04,417
Just who was this
mysterious figure known as
43
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:08,787
"Tesla", and why would his
notebooks elicit so much
44
00:03:08,788 --> 00:03:13,159
interest from the United
States government?
45
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:16,895
The life of Nikola Tesla was a
46
00:03:16,896 --> 00:03:19,399
dramatic one from
the very beginning.
47
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:26,538
He was born at the stroke of
midnight on July 10, 1856,
48
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,074
during a violent lightning
storm in what is now Croatia.
49
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:35,080
It was during an
electrical storm, and the
50
00:03:35,081 --> 00:03:37,583
midwife saw this as a bad omen.
51
00:03:37,584 --> 00:03:41,086
But there was a flash of
lightning, and Tesla's mother
52
00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:45,691
said, "No, this will
be a child of light."
53
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:50,429
At an early age, Nikola Tesla
showed a superior mind.
54
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:53,532
He was already inventing things.
55
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:57,102
He invented toys that used
insects to power them.
56
00:03:57,103 --> 00:04:00,972
But he was fascinated
by thunderstorms.
57
00:04:00,973 --> 00:04:03,743
And, but he would
see the lightning.
58
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:07,113
He became fascinated
with electricity.
59
00:04:07,114 --> 00:04:11,750
And he was determined that he
was going to harness the power
60
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:16,623
of the earth and the universe
for the benefit of mankind.
61
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:22,894
In 1881, after
eight years studying physics,
62
00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:27,632
math and engineering at
universities in Graz, Austria
63
00:04:27,633 --> 00:04:29,735
and Prague, Tesla became an
64
00:04:29,736 --> 00:04:35,875
electrical engineer for a
telephone company in Budapest.
65
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:37,175
Three years later, the
66
00:04:37,176 --> 00:04:41,180
28-year-old moved to the United
States, and took a job in New
67
00:04:41,181 --> 00:04:45,918
York City, working
for Thomas Edison.
68
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:50,522
But very quickly, the two would
become rivals in what became
69
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:53,892
known as "the war
of the currents."
70
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:56,262
In a sense, you have
dueling wizards.
71
00:04:56,263 --> 00:04:58,163
Edison was performing with
72
00:04:58,164 --> 00:05:01,933
direct current, Tesla came along
with alternating current,
73
00:05:01,934 --> 00:05:05,204
competing to win the right to
harness Niagara Falls.
74
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:06,805
That was the big prize.
75
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:08,541
If you harness Niagara Falls,
76
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:13,279
you control all the power for
the entire Northeast.
77
00:05:15,282 --> 00:05:18,918
In Edison's direct
current distribution system, the
78
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:20,685
steady stream of electricity
79
00:05:20,686 --> 00:05:25,558
would lose potency as it
traveled down the line.
80
00:05:25,559 --> 00:05:27,692
This required power plants every
81
00:05:27,693 --> 00:05:30,228
half mile, and could only supply
82
00:05:30,229 --> 00:05:32,764
enough power to lightbulbs.
83
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:35,635
Tesla designed a far more
84
00:05:35,636 --> 00:05:37,969
sophisticated system, utilizing
85
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:39,772
alternating current, which could
86
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:41,673
easily be manipulated along
87
00:05:41,674 --> 00:05:43,843
the way, allowing for not only
88
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:46,111
lightbulbs to be powered,
89
00:05:46,112 --> 00:05:48,214
but also other electric devices.
90
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:52,584
Using Niagara Falls as a
hydroelectric power source,
91
00:05:52,585 --> 00:05:57,223
Tesla's system could illuminate
the entire Northeast.
92
00:05:57,224 --> 00:06:01,726
It would be like comparing a
horse and buggy to a jet plane.
93
00:06:01,727 --> 00:06:03,562
Tesla had the jet plane.
94
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:05,664
Edison had the horse and buggy.
95
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:07,599
There is no comparison at all.
96
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,269
Tesla had a quantum leap ahead.
97
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:14,606
Edison criticized
Tesla's model as highly
98
00:06:14,607 --> 00:06:20,012
dangerous in an effort to ensure
that his system won out.
99
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:24,015
He even went so far as holding
public demonstrations using
100
00:06:24,016 --> 00:06:28,253
alternating current to
electrocute cats and dogs...
101
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:34,260
...and even a rogue elephant.
102
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:38,863
But Nikola Tesla's superior A/C
power system ultimately
103
00:06:38,864 --> 00:06:45,037
prevailed, and today, it still remains the
foundation of the world's power grid.
104
00:06:46,306 --> 00:06:51,377
Tesla allowed the world to be
electrified, and not only that,
105
00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:55,880
he brought electricity from
being kind of a useful thing to
106
00:06:55,881 --> 00:07:00,652
being a universal thing that could
be used all throughout society.
107
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:06,659
Nikola Tesla is one of the most amazing
geniuses mankind has ever known.
108
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:11,062
His ideas went far and beyond
what was accepted at the time.
109
00:07:11,063 --> 00:07:17,571
If it hadn't been for Tesla, we would
be living in very different times.
110
00:07:19,306 --> 00:07:24,310
But Nikola Tesla not only
officially electrified the world.
111
00:07:25,412 --> 00:07:28,748
His legacy includes
groundbreaking work on
112
00:07:28,749 --> 00:07:33,019
electric railroads,
fluorescent and neon lights,
113
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:39,692
wireless radio
communications, X-ray...
114
00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:45,697
remote control...
turbine engines...
115
00:07:45,698 --> 00:07:54,707
speedometers... helicopters...
and even torpedoes.
116
00:07:54,708 --> 00:08:00,614
By the time of his death, Tesla
held nearly 700 worldwide patents.
117
00:08:00,615 --> 00:08:05,351
Nikola Tesla was one of the
world's greatest inventors.
118
00:08:05,352 --> 00:08:08,120
Tesla was like
Leonardo da Vinci.
119
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:10,690
He had the mind of a futurist,
120
00:08:10,691 --> 00:08:14,360
and he was able to do
incredible things.
121
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:18,130
During Nikola Tesla's
time, the Industrial
122
00:08:18,131 --> 00:08:21,233
Revolution was
firmly taking hold.
123
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:26,204
Factories, using steam and coal
power, replaced manual labor.
124
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:30,375
Hundreds of thousands of miles
of railway and roads were built,
125
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:34,012
dramatically changing the
landscape of society.
126
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:38,416
But this extraordinary
innovation came at a price- a
127
00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:41,286
complete disregard
for the environment.
128
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:44,857
Nikola Tesla said
that there was a difference
129
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:50,762
between progress and technology.
Progress benefits mankind.
130
00:08:50,763 --> 00:08:53,766
Technology does not
necessarily do that.
131
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:55,434
If you have a technology that is
132
00:08:55,435 --> 00:09:00,406
polluting the planet,
that's not progress.
133
00:09:00,407 --> 00:09:06,976
But just how is it that Nikola Tesla
was so far ahead of his time?
134
00:09:06,979 --> 00:09:09,915
For decades, the
forward-thinking inventor-
135
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:16,888
a man shrouded in mystery- has
fascinated scholars and researchers.
136
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:19,425
Tesla came from a
very strange area- actually
137
00:09:19,426 --> 00:09:22,194
wasn't too far
from Transylvania.
138
00:09:22,195 --> 00:09:23,429
He was tall and thin.
139
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:27,065
He spoke 11 or 12
different languages.
140
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:30,435
And he does these fantastic
inventions and fantastic
141
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:35,440
performances, so he had this
mystique about him.
142
00:09:35,441 --> 00:09:40,945
Nikola Tesla is born
at a time which, coincidentally,
143
00:09:40,946 --> 00:09:46,819
coincides with an ancient
Zoharic prophecy that speaks
144
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:50,890
about the opening of the gates
of wisdom upon the earth.
145
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:52,958
And who's born at this time?
146
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:54,359
Nikola Tesla.
147
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,094
Albert Einstein.
148
00:09:56,095 --> 00:10:01,467
This is the beginning
of so many things.
149
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:05,237
But could there
really be something more to the
150
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:12,177
prophecies, rumors and wild
speculations surrounding Nikola Tesla?
151
00:10:12,178 --> 00:10:17,349
Something, perhaps,
even otherworldly?
152
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:19,951
Throughout history,
there have been various
153
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:24,256
prophets and scientists that have
really affected the human evolution.
154
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:27,258
Like Einstein, Galileo,
Copernicus, and Tesla's
155
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:29,261
definitely one of
these type of people.
156
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:31,997
We have to wonder if these
people aren't somehow involved
157
00:10:31,998 --> 00:10:36,535
in some larger plan of influence
on humanity as a whole.
158
00:10:36,536 --> 00:10:40,004
Some researchers
into Tesla think that he was
159
00:10:40,005 --> 00:10:44,509
some kind of special human
receiver, and if that's the
160
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:49,849
case, then we have someone who
the ETs were helping to move
161
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:55,887
along and develop the amazing
inventions that light the world today.
162
00:10:55,888 --> 00:11:00,025
Is it possible that
Tesla knew he was on a mission?
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:04,296
Was he attempting to uplevel our
technology to the point at which
164
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:08,533
we would be capable of having
all of the abilities of those
165
00:11:08,534 --> 00:11:13,238
who, in ancient times,
were called the gods?
166
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:16,908
Is it possible, as
some ancient astronaut theorists
167
00:11:16,909 --> 00:11:23,549
suggest, that Nikola Tesla was being
influenced by extraterrestrials?
168
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:29,320
Extraterrestrials on a mission
to advance mankind?
169
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:34,259
Perhaps answers can be found
by further examining the
170
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:39,431
inspiration behind one of
Tesla's greatest achievements.
171
00:11:43,905 --> 00:11:47,474
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
172
00:11:47,475 --> 00:11:51,112
The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology is home to some of
173
00:11:51,113 --> 00:11:53,480
the world's greatest minds.
174
00:11:53,481 --> 00:11:57,984
M.I.T. researchers are on the
forefront of innovation,
175
00:11:57,985 --> 00:12:01,490
including the development of
wireless transmission of power.
176
00:12:01,752 --> 00:12:05,192
Efficient wireless transmission
177
00:12:05,193 --> 00:12:09,497
of electricity has eluded
scientists for years.
178
00:12:09,498 --> 00:12:11,999
Radio waves, microwaves and even
179
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,238
laser-beam transmission
of power have fallen short.
180
00:12:17,239 --> 00:12:22,609
But in 2007, M.I.T. researchers
were able to safely transmit
181
00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:27,348
power wirelessly seven feet
across a room...
182
00:12:27,349 --> 00:12:32,353
a feat heralded as a first step
to cutting the power cord.
183
00:12:32,354 --> 00:12:36,157
Incredibly, a word in which all
electrical devices would be
184
00:12:36,158 --> 00:12:40,994
automatically powered at all
times, requiring no charging or
185
00:12:40,995 --> 00:12:43,263
wires, was envisioned more than
186
00:12:43,264 --> 00:12:48,403
a century earlier by
inventor Nikola Tesla.
187
00:12:48,525 --> 00:12:55,043
And by some accounts, he was close
to actually achieving that goal.
188
00:12:56,067 --> 00:13:01,382
The ideas of Tesla for
wireless power have
189
00:13:01,383 --> 00:13:06,454
only been, um, briefly investigated
by various scientists.
190
00:13:06,455 --> 00:13:10,925
And the tests that were done
by Tesla in 1899 to 1900
191
00:13:10,926 --> 00:13:18,599
in Colorado Springs verify the fact that
the use of wireless was actually possible.
192
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,335
Tesla went out to Colorado Springs to see
if he could send electricity several miles,
193
00:13:22,336 --> 00:13:26,440
which is a tremendous achievement,
but he had a huge tower.
194
00:13:26,441 --> 00:13:29,210
It was 200 feet to the top.
195
00:13:29,211 --> 00:13:30,912
His assistant was located at the
196
00:13:30,913 --> 00:13:34,215
laboratory and Tesla said, "When
I give you the signal, I want
197
00:13:34,216 --> 00:13:37,685
you to throw the switch and
fire up the wireless system.
198
00:13:37,686 --> 00:13:41,221
And Tesla probably
walked four miles away.
199
00:13:41,222 --> 00:13:44,492
Tesla inserted lightbulbs
into the earth to
200
00:13:44,493 --> 00:13:46,226
see if his tower was in fact
201
00:13:46,227 --> 00:13:49,596
creating a wireless circuit with
the ground.
202
00:13:49,597 --> 00:13:52,633
If so, the bulbs would light up.
203
00:13:52,634 --> 00:13:56,237
These lightbulbs
were being lit, so he was able
204
00:13:56,238 --> 00:14:01,640
to establish that he could transmit
electrical power over great distances.
205
00:14:01,643 --> 00:14:03,176
But he did keep it a secret.
206
00:14:03,177 --> 00:14:06,213
He even kept the mechanics a
secret from his assistant, who
207
00:14:06,214 --> 00:14:09,518
didn't totally know all the
details of what he was doing.
208
00:14:13,621 --> 00:14:19,060
Shoreham, New York. 1901.
209
00:14:19,061 --> 00:14:24,398
Tesla convinces banker J.P.
Morgan to give him $150,000 for
210
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:28,201
the construction of
a radio station.
211
00:14:28,202 --> 00:14:31,672
But instead, he uses the money
to build a giant wireless
212
00:14:31,673 --> 00:14:36,676
transmitter he calls
Wardenclyffe Tower.
213
00:14:36,677 --> 00:14:40,480
Wardenclyffe was 187
feet to the top, but it also
214
00:14:40,481 --> 00:14:45,286
went 120 feet down
into the ground.
215
00:14:45,287 --> 00:14:47,021
And Tesla had envisioned
216
00:14:47,022 --> 00:14:50,490
receiving stations, which would
look just like the Wardenclyffe
217
00:14:50,491 --> 00:14:55,028
Tower at different nodal points
around the Earth.
218
00:14:55,029 --> 00:14:56,397
He would jump energy by means of
219
00:14:56,398 --> 00:14:59,432
wireless from
station to station.
220
00:14:59,433 --> 00:15:00,667
He even thought that he could
221
00:15:00,668 --> 00:15:02,135
eventually use the same system
222
00:15:02,136 --> 00:15:06,007
to jump power to
different planets.
223
00:15:06,008 --> 00:15:09,143
But Tesla's dream
of creating a highly efficient
224
00:15:09,144 --> 00:15:12,580
broadcast of wireless
electricity was cut short when
225
00:15:12,581 --> 00:15:17,718
in 1904, its funder J.P. Morgan
discovered Tesla's true
226
00:15:17,719 --> 00:15:23,391
intentions to provide free power
to everyone on the planet.
227
00:15:23,392 --> 00:15:25,426
With lack of additional funding,
228
00:15:25,427 --> 00:15:30,031
by 1908, the project was
completely abandoned.
229
00:15:30,032 --> 00:15:35,269
And in 1917, the tower
was demolished.
230
00:15:37,304 --> 00:15:40,407
No company, no
corporation wants to give away
231
00:15:40,408 --> 00:15:43,043
its technology freely.
232
00:15:43,044 --> 00:15:45,278
So Tesla was shut down, so that
233
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,098
the world wouldn't
have free energy.
234
00:15:48,398 --> 00:15:52,585
But just how was Tesla
able to transmit
235
00:15:52,586 --> 00:15:54,154
electricity wirelessly for
236
00:15:54,155 --> 00:15:55,489
several miles when modern
237
00:15:55,490 --> 00:16:01,362
scientists can only
manage seven feet?
238
00:16:01,363 --> 00:16:05,099
Tesla credited his many
inventions to the ability to
239
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,502
realize them entirely
in his mind.
240
00:16:08,503 --> 00:16:13,239
He also described experiencing
intense flashes of light, which
241
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,346
were followed by moments of
intense creativity and clarity.
242
00:16:19,056 --> 00:16:23,484
He would see an
invention appear before his eyes
243
00:16:23,485 --> 00:16:26,353
in almost holographic detail.
244
00:16:26,354 --> 00:16:30,590
He said that he could rotate
these visions, take them apart
245
00:16:30,591 --> 00:16:36,096
piece by piece, and he knew
exactly how he was going to
246
00:16:36,097 --> 00:16:41,502
build these inventions based on
his visionary experiences.
247
00:16:41,726 --> 00:16:45,372
One of his greatest
creations is the rotating
248
00:16:45,373 --> 00:16:49,109
magnetic field, and that came in
a flash of intuition.
249
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:52,378
He felt that we were receivers,
that all impulses came from the
250
00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:55,883
outside, and that we worked on
these impulses.
251
00:16:55,884 --> 00:17:00,421
So, he doesn't believe that they
come from dreams or inner visions.
252
00:17:00,422 --> 00:17:03,759
He really felt that we were, in
a sense, self-propelled robots.
253
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,630
Some ancient astronaut
theorists believe
254
00:17:09,631 --> 00:17:11,499
there may be another explanation
255
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:16,636
for Tesla's uncanny abilities
and mysterious visions.
256
00:17:16,637 --> 00:17:20,673
They suggest these spontaneous
episodes are proof that Tesla
257
00:17:20,674 --> 00:17:25,712
was receiving information from
an otherworldly source.
258
00:17:25,713 --> 00:17:30,316
These images would
literally burst into his mind.
259
00:17:30,317 --> 00:17:34,521
Somehow, somewhere, some
connection was made.
260
00:17:34,522 --> 00:17:35,855
And it's the same way the
261
00:17:35,856 --> 00:17:39,325
biblical prophets
received their prophecy.
262
00:17:39,326 --> 00:17:44,464
Nikola Tesla was clearly in
touch with something.
263
00:17:44,465 --> 00:17:47,334
You have to wonder
if extraterrestrials themselves
264
00:17:47,335 --> 00:17:49,737
weren't feeding him images of
265
00:17:49,738 --> 00:17:53,207
inventions that only
he could understand.
266
00:17:53,208 --> 00:17:57,478
Nikola Tesla felt
there was a knowledge base,
267
00:17:57,479 --> 00:17:58,845
located somewhere in the
268
00:17:58,846 --> 00:18:04,585
universe, that all of humanity
could tap into if they just knew
269
00:18:04,586 --> 00:18:09,191
how to properly tune their mind
to this knowledge base.
270
00:18:12,626 --> 00:18:15,895
Is it possible
Nikola Tesla was actually being
271
00:18:15,896 --> 00:18:20,500
fed images to assist him in
furthering mankind?
272
00:18:20,501 --> 00:18:23,504
And if so, could Tesla have
273
00:18:23,505 --> 00:18:27,874
tapped into an ancient source of
knowledge, perhaps even
274
00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:31,745
rediscovering technology that
may have been used before.
275
00:18:31,746 --> 00:18:35,915
We have these stories
of towers that might
276
00:18:35,916 --> 00:18:39,920
have relayed energy- like the
obelisks that we can find all
277
00:18:39,921 --> 00:18:43,524
around the world- that they, at
some point, were all connected
278
00:18:43,525 --> 00:18:47,361
and that they were feeding off
the Earth's magnetic grid.
279
00:18:47,362 --> 00:18:48,662
It's been discovered,
280
00:18:48,663 --> 00:18:52,399
in ancient Egyptian temples and
tombs, carvings that look
281
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,471
suspiciously like modern-day
lightbulbs and Tesla coils.
282
00:18:58,472 --> 00:19:01,941
Was there a certain
technology, an energy
283
00:19:01,942 --> 00:19:06,913
system of ancient times that we
still have remnants of today?
284
00:19:06,914 --> 00:19:12,819
Giant pyramids, obelisks, huge
standing stones and towers...
285
00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:14,822
Perhaps they were all part of
286
00:19:14,823 --> 00:19:20,960
some extraterrestrial,
huge energy system.
287
00:19:20,961 --> 00:19:24,397
Was Tesla's Wardenclyffe
Tower meant to
288
00:19:24,398 --> 00:19:28,635
connect to an ancient energy
grid powered not only by the
289
00:19:28,636 --> 00:19:33,274
Earth, but eventually by other
planets, as well?
290
00:19:33,275 --> 00:19:37,978
And if so, is it possible Nikola
Tesla was communicating with
291
00:19:37,979 --> 00:19:39,979
advanced celestial beings that
292
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:45,451
visited Earth thousands
of years ago?
293
00:19:45,452 --> 00:19:47,320
Perhaps the answer can be found
294
00:19:47,321 --> 00:19:50,790
by examining the mysterious
radio transmissions Tesla
295
00:19:50,791 --> 00:19:55,196
claimed he received
from outer space.
296
00:19:58,167 --> 00:20:00,203
Colorado Springs.
297
00:20:00,204 --> 00:20:02,438
July, 1899.
298
00:20:05,943 --> 00:20:09,145
While testing a magnifying
transmitter he built to track
299
00:20:09,146 --> 00:20:13,483
storms, Nikola Tesla claims he
received some sort of
300
00:20:13,484 --> 00:20:16,953
transmission from
an unknown source.
301
00:20:19,322 --> 00:20:24,226
One night, he was tracking
thunderstorms 600 miles away.
302
00:20:24,227 --> 00:20:26,596
But all of a sudden,
he heard these beeps.
303
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:34,604
And it was three
beats in sequence.
304
00:20:34,605 --> 00:20:38,206
And so it was mathematical and
it didn't make any sense to him.
305
00:20:38,207 --> 00:20:40,376
And the more he thought about
it, he thought that they came
306
00:20:40,377 --> 00:20:44,313
from outer space, perhaps from
the Martians.
307
00:20:47,984 --> 00:20:51,454
Mars' orbit brings it
close to the Earth
308
00:20:51,455 --> 00:20:54,656
periodically, about
once every 1.8 years.
309
00:20:54,657 --> 00:20:59,395
And at one of those close
encounters, uh, he believed
310
00:20:59,396 --> 00:21:02,531
he was picking up
signals from Mars.
311
00:21:02,532 --> 00:21:05,100
He most likely had made
a receiver that was
312
00:21:05,101 --> 00:21:09,071
sensitive enough to receive
radio waves, as we now know come
313
00:21:09,072 --> 00:21:13,643
from galaxies and-and lots of
different extraterrestrial sources.
314
00:21:13,644 --> 00:21:16,646
So he interpreted them
as signals from ETs.
315
00:21:16,647 --> 00:21:17,746
But perhaps he had an open
316
00:21:17,747 --> 00:21:22,685
channel that we really still
don't understand today.
317
00:21:22,686 --> 00:21:26,022
Tesla believed it's absurd
to think we're the only
318
00:21:26,023 --> 00:21:28,256
intelligent beings
in the universe.
319
00:21:28,257 --> 00:21:29,658
If that's the case, where are
320
00:21:29,659 --> 00:21:32,294
they in the intelligence
hierarchy and why wouldn't they
321
00:21:32,295 --> 00:21:36,233
want to communicate with an
intelligent force on the Earth?
322
00:21:39,035 --> 00:21:43,172
Tesla reported this otherworldly
communication and
323
00:21:43,173 --> 00:21:49,778
proclaimed his belief in extraterrestrials
in February of 1901, in an article for
324
00:21:49,779 --> 00:21:54,050
Collier's Weekly titled
"Talking with the Planets."
325
00:21:54,051 --> 00:21:57,720
Tesla became obsessed
with trying to receive, uh,
326
00:21:57,721 --> 00:22:02,058
further, uh, radio communications,
uh, from other planets.
327
00:22:02,059 --> 00:22:04,460
Based on these transmissions
328
00:22:04,461 --> 00:22:09,131
that Tesla was receiving, he
developed a theory that this
329
00:22:09,132 --> 00:22:13,602
extraterrestrial presence had
been on Earth for a millennia.
330
00:22:13,603 --> 00:22:16,739
That these extraterrestrials had
331
00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:21,476
been controlling mankind from
the very beginning.
332
00:22:21,477 --> 00:22:24,414
How far did these
communications go?
333
00:22:24,415 --> 00:22:25,747
Did it lead to the point where
334
00:22:25,748 --> 00:22:27,349
he was actually able to receive
335
00:22:27,350 --> 00:22:29,618
useful information that was
336
00:22:29,619 --> 00:22:32,187
helping him build
his inventions?
337
00:22:32,188 --> 00:22:35,358
Many believe that this is what
happened and that Tesla had
338
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,725
direct contact, through the
339
00:22:36,726 --> 00:22:38,327
things he'd invented, with
340
00:22:38,328 --> 00:22:41,097
extraterrestrial intelligence.
341
00:22:41,098 --> 00:22:44,099
But the shocking
revelation was shunned by
342
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:46,368
Tesla's scientific peers and led
343
00:22:46,369 --> 00:22:50,306
many to deem him
"a mad scientist."
344
00:22:50,307 --> 00:22:54,609
So you have Nikola Tesla
electrifying the world, literally.
345
00:22:54,610 --> 00:22:56,311
Then, about the time that he had
346
00:22:56,312 --> 00:23:00,116
a falling-out with, uh, J.P.
Morgan, a very powerful man-
347
00:23:00,117 --> 00:23:01,650
he'd also had a legendary
348
00:23:01,651 --> 00:23:06,789
falling-out with Edison, another
legendary, powerful man.
349
00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:08,624
Then it came out that he was
350
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:12,127
trying to, perhaps,
signal the planet Mars.
351
00:23:12,128 --> 00:23:14,362
And his enemies exploited this,
352
00:23:14,363 --> 00:23:18,600
uh, I think, to try
and discredit him.
353
00:23:18,601 --> 00:23:22,772
In the early 1900s,
it was rumored that Tesla was
354
00:23:22,773 --> 00:23:26,108
being considered to receive the
Nobel Prize.
355
00:23:26,109 --> 00:23:29,278
But, mysteriously, he never did.
356
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:32,247
Even today, scientists
don't take him into
357
00:23:32,248 --> 00:23:34,282
account the way they should.
358
00:23:34,283 --> 00:23:39,288
Tesla talked about atoms working
like solar systems, and that
359
00:23:39,289 --> 00:23:42,291
light could work as a
wave and a particle.
360
00:23:42,292 --> 00:23:46,229
Einstein got a Nobel Prize for
saying light worked like a
361
00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:50,633
particle, and Bohr and
Rutherford got a Nobel Prize for
362
00:23:50,634 --> 00:23:54,302
saying that atoms were like
little solar systems.
363
00:23:54,303 --> 00:23:58,241
So why is he removed from the
history of quantum physics when
364
00:23:58,242 --> 00:24:00,675
he really belongs
at the heart of it?
365
00:24:00,676 --> 00:24:02,145
So I think he's been unfairly
366
00:24:02,146 --> 00:24:05,580
treated by the physicists, and
part of the reason is his
367
00:24:05,581 --> 00:24:08,550
attachment to extraterrestrials.
368
00:24:08,551 --> 00:24:14,587
Was Nikola Tesla simply letting his
imagination get the better of him?
369
00:24:14,590 --> 00:24:16,826
Or is it possible he really was
370
00:24:16,827 --> 00:24:22,831
in contact with
extraterrestrial beings?
371
00:24:22,832 --> 00:24:26,468
Belgrade, Serbia.
372
00:24:26,469 --> 00:24:31,174
Housing more than 160,000
documents, the Nikola Tesla
373
00:24:31,175 --> 00:24:37,713
Museum offers rare insight into
some of Tesla's future plans...
374
00:24:37,714 --> 00:24:42,484
including what some believe are
drawings of spaceships.
375
00:24:42,485 --> 00:24:47,689
According to historians, Tesla
began work on his flying machine
376
00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:53,695
in 1910, focusing on the use of
field propulsion, or anti-gravity.
377
00:24:53,696 --> 00:24:57,366
It is believed Tesla had
discovered that high amounts of
378
00:24:57,367 --> 00:25:02,237
electricity could actually
create lift in an object.
379
00:25:02,238 --> 00:25:06,876
Throughout the 1920s and '30s,
Tesla continually talked about
380
00:25:06,877 --> 00:25:11,214
anti-gravity ships that could
derive power from his
381
00:25:11,215 --> 00:25:15,217
Wardenclyffe Towers that were
gonna be broadcasting power.
382
00:25:15,218 --> 00:25:19,254
He claimed these ships did not
have wings or fuel.
383
00:25:19,255 --> 00:25:21,457
They were completely electric.
384
00:25:22,547 --> 00:25:28,731
But were Tesla's designs truly
the first of their kind?
385
00:25:28,732 --> 00:25:32,935
Or is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
386
00:25:32,936 --> 00:25:38,372
that similar vehicles had already
visited the planet in the remote past?
387
00:25:38,375 --> 00:25:41,910
In the ancient
Indian epics, the Vedas, we find
388
00:25:41,911 --> 00:25:46,514
references of "vimanas," those
flying chariots that were used
389
00:25:46,515 --> 00:25:50,252
by the gods in order to travel
from point "A" to point "B."
390
00:25:50,253 --> 00:25:52,254
Some of these vimanas were able
391
00:25:52,255 --> 00:25:57,560
to alter direction at the drop
of a hat, without any effort.
392
00:25:57,561 --> 00:26:00,695
So, now, reading this from a
modern-day perspective would
393
00:26:00,696 --> 00:26:05,568
suggest that some type of
anti-gravity device was used.
394
00:26:05,569 --> 00:26:06,668
You can link this from the
395
00:26:06,669 --> 00:26:10,772
ancient to the modern world with
the modern UFO phenomenon.
396
00:26:10,773 --> 00:26:13,675
And so the idea that Tesla might
397
00:26:13,676 --> 00:26:16,311
have worked on an anti-gravity
398
00:26:16,312 --> 00:26:18,314
device is very plausible to me.
399
00:26:19,452 --> 00:26:23,985
Are the depictions
of flying machines in ancient
400
00:26:23,986 --> 00:26:26,589
Hindu texts like the Mahabharata
401
00:26:26,590 --> 00:26:30,659
really proof that Tesla had
received otherworldly knowledge
402
00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:35,865
in order to design
anti-gravity spaceships?
403
00:26:35,866 --> 00:26:39,601
And if the so-called "mad
scientist" actually did make
404
00:26:39,602 --> 00:26:44,706
contact with extraterrestrials,
is it possible he continued to
405
00:26:44,707 --> 00:26:48,644
carry out their wishes in secret?
406
00:26:48,848 --> 00:26:53,954
Palo Alto, California. 2013.
A Silicon Valley start-up's
407
00:26:53,955 --> 00:26:58,793
all-electric sports car wins
Motor Trend's Car of the Year.
408
00:26:58,794 --> 00:27:01,729
It's one of the most fuel
efficient vehicles on the
409
00:27:01,730 --> 00:27:04,364
planet, produces no emissions
410
00:27:04,365 --> 00:27:10,238
and can go from zero to 60 miles
per hour in four seconds.
411
00:27:10,239 --> 00:27:14,209
The Model S energizes the
electric car industry and
412
00:27:14,210 --> 00:27:19,248
reintroduces its namesake to the
world stage... Tesla.
413
00:27:20,918 --> 00:27:26,755
It's interesting to think
in 1931, Tesla told
414
00:27:26,756 --> 00:27:28,823
reporters that he had converted
415
00:27:28,824 --> 00:27:34,828
a Pierce-Arrow car into a
completely electric car.
416
00:27:34,829 --> 00:27:37,132
Tesla showed them the car.
417
00:27:37,133 --> 00:27:38,499
He drove it around.
418
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:41,268
It went as fast as
90 miles per hour.
419
00:27:41,269 --> 00:27:45,272
When you look at it, many of the
inventions that Tesla talked
420
00:27:45,273 --> 00:27:49,412
about, and even patented, were
eventually developed.
421
00:27:50,834 --> 00:27:54,249
The list of technologies
that can be traced
422
00:27:54,250 --> 00:27:58,419
back to the drawing board of
Nikola Tesla is endless.
423
00:27:58,420 --> 00:28:04,191
Modern humanoid robotics, solar
and wind power, weather
424
00:28:04,192 --> 00:28:10,766
manipulation, drones and even
planetary exploration vehicles.
425
00:28:11,463 --> 00:28:16,938
Getting as little as just two
hours of sleep per day, the
426
00:28:16,939 --> 00:28:20,475
inventor's sole purpose on Earth
appeared to be geared toward one
427
00:28:20,476 --> 00:28:27,582
end: advancing technology for
the future of the human race.
428
00:28:27,583 --> 00:28:30,151
He always had his
eye on the future.
429
00:28:30,152 --> 00:28:34,454
And further, he was trying to shape
the future through his inventions.
430
00:28:34,455 --> 00:28:37,357
Mr. Tesla was not
unique in this.
431
00:28:37,358 --> 00:28:39,460
Many of the founders, leaders,
432
00:28:39,461 --> 00:28:46,835
of religion also were compelled
by inner experiences, which
433
00:28:46,836 --> 00:28:51,306
pushed them to materialize these
things in the world.
434
00:28:51,307 --> 00:28:55,844
So, in a religious context, we
would say that a religious
435
00:28:55,845 --> 00:28:59,180
leader is in touch
with something divine.
436
00:28:59,181 --> 00:29:02,316
In a scientific context, we
wouldn't necessarily use the
437
00:29:02,317 --> 00:29:05,854
word "divine," but yet, somehow,
somewhere, people are being
438
00:29:05,855 --> 00:29:09,990
contacted, receiving
communications which are leading
439
00:29:09,991 --> 00:29:17,098
to the clear introduction of new
things in humanity.
440
00:29:18,737 --> 00:29:25,270
Tesla seemed to have this drive that
put everything else by the wayside.
441
00:29:25,273 --> 00:29:28,942
When he was working on an
invention, food, sleep,
442
00:29:28,943 --> 00:29:32,512
relationships, human interaction... none
of that mattered.
443
00:29:32,513 --> 00:29:35,115
It's almost as if he was on some
type of a mission.
444
00:29:35,116 --> 00:29:39,987
A mission, possibly, with a greater plan,
under the influence of extraterrestrials.
445
00:29:42,357 --> 00:29:46,960
Was Nikola Tesla
really inspired to invent by an
446
00:29:46,961 --> 00:29:53,166
extraterrestrial source, as some
ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
447
00:29:53,167 --> 00:29:56,537
And if so, might further clues
448
00:29:56,538 --> 00:30:01,877
be found in what some believe to
be the rantings of a "mad man"?
449
00:30:04,313 --> 00:30:08,682
By the time Nikola Tesla moved
into his final home- the Hotel
450
00:30:08,683 --> 00:30:12,687
New Yorker- in January 1934,
451
00:30:12,688 --> 00:30:19,559
he had become better known for his
eccentricities than his inventions.
452
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,065
He reportedly was an extreme
germaphobe, preferred to work in
453
00:30:24,066 --> 00:30:26,467
almost complete darkness and was
454
00:30:26,468 --> 00:30:30,305
also obsessed with
the number three.
455
00:30:30,306 --> 00:30:32,606
Tesla was definitely
interested in numerology.
456
00:30:32,607 --> 00:30:34,208
And he was very superstitious.
457
00:30:34,209 --> 00:30:37,711
He had to circle a building
three times before he entered.
458
00:30:37,712 --> 00:30:41,348
He had calculated nodal points
around the planet and they were
459
00:30:41,349 --> 00:30:44,719
probably linked to the numbers
three, six and nine.
460
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,489
And he said that the numbers
were very important.
461
00:30:48,490 --> 00:30:51,459
Nikola Tesla was
quoted as saying, "If you knew
462
00:30:51,460 --> 00:30:53,594
the magnificence of the three,
463
00:30:53,595 --> 00:30:59,433
six and nine, you would have a
key to the universe."
464
00:30:59,434 --> 00:31:04,739
If we go to the Great Pyramid
of Giza, not only are there the
465
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:07,208
three larger pyramids at Giza,
466
00:31:07,209 --> 00:31:11,112
all side by side, mirroring the
positions of the stars in
467
00:31:11,113 --> 00:31:15,983
Orion's Belt, but we also see a
group of three smaller pyramids
468
00:31:15,984 --> 00:31:20,254
immediately away from the three
larger pyramids.
469
00:31:20,255 --> 00:31:22,623
Three and three.
470
00:31:22,624 --> 00:31:28,462
Similarly, we find lots of
evidence that nature uses
471
00:31:28,463 --> 00:31:31,265
threefold and sixfold symmetry,
472
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:37,471
including the hexagonal tile
shape of the common honeycomb.
473
00:31:37,472 --> 00:31:42,509
These shapes are in nature, and
the ancients emulated these
474
00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:46,646
shapes in the building of their
sacred architecture.
475
00:31:46,647 --> 00:31:50,751
So Tesla's quote is neatly
mirrored in the actual
476
00:31:50,752 --> 00:31:54,354
archaeological evidence that we
find in many ancient
477
00:31:54,355 --> 00:31:58,659
architectural sites
around the world.
478
00:31:58,660 --> 00:32:03,030
Could the numbers
three, six and nine really offer
479
00:32:03,031 --> 00:32:06,566
clues to the inner workings of
the universe?
480
00:32:06,567 --> 00:32:09,437
If so, is it possible that Tesla
481
00:32:09,438 --> 00:32:12,406
uncovered this profound secret
482
00:32:12,407 --> 00:32:14,441
and used this knowledge to push
483
00:32:14,442 --> 00:32:18,412
the boundaries of
science and technology?
484
00:32:18,413 --> 00:32:20,414
Perhaps the answer can be found
485
00:32:20,415 --> 00:32:25,354
by examining Tesla's most
controversial invention.
486
00:32:28,524 --> 00:32:33,995
New York City.
July 1934.
487
00:32:33,996 --> 00:32:38,600
On his 78th birthday, Nikola
Tesla makes headlines on the
488
00:32:38,601 --> 00:32:44,539
front page of the New York Times
for his alleged "death beam."
489
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:46,875
According to the article, the
490
00:32:46,876 --> 00:32:48,510
weapon could generate enough
491
00:32:48,511 --> 00:32:50,279
energy to bring down a fleet of
492
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,151
10,000 enemy airplanes as far as
250 miles away.
493
00:32:57,887 --> 00:33:01,557
Tesla apparently
discovered that he could direct
494
00:33:01,558 --> 00:33:06,028
a stream of plasma plus solid
particles for long distances
495
00:33:06,029 --> 00:33:09,664
through the air and kind of
direct a lightning bolt.
496
00:33:09,665 --> 00:33:13,035
And he called this a death ray.
497
00:33:13,036 --> 00:33:19,573
Tesla wanted to invent a machine that would
knock out enemy aircraft in the air.
498
00:33:19,576 --> 00:33:24,445
You would point it to the skies,
turn it on and all of the sudden
499
00:33:24,446 --> 00:33:28,116
those planes would
just fall like that.
500
00:33:28,117 --> 00:33:31,185
Tesla felt that if
every country had a particle
501
00:33:31,186 --> 00:33:34,389
beam weapon, then no country
would ever be invaded, because
502
00:33:34,390 --> 00:33:39,694
planes would be shot down and
ships would be sunk.
503
00:33:39,695 --> 00:33:41,396
So he was trying to sell this
504
00:33:41,397 --> 00:33:45,934
particle beam weapon to the U.S.
government during World War II.
505
00:33:45,935 --> 00:33:47,336
And I think Franklin Roosevelt
506
00:33:47,337 --> 00:33:50,705
was basically looking
at two possibilities.
507
00:33:50,706 --> 00:33:54,343
Einstein was discussing the
possibility of an atom bomb.
508
00:33:54,344 --> 00:33:58,713
Tesla was discussing the possibility
of a particle beam weapon.
509
00:33:58,714 --> 00:34:03,585
And it turned out the atom bomb
was able to be invented...
510
00:34:03,586 --> 00:34:05,921
and that's the way they went.
511
00:34:08,726 --> 00:34:14,360
Although the death ray announcement
failed to ignite interest by the U.S.
512
00:34:14,363 --> 00:34:17,231
War Department, some say other
513
00:34:17,232 --> 00:34:21,637
innovative work by Tesla did
catch their attention.
514
00:34:21,638 --> 00:34:24,440
Earlier in his career,
while conducting research with
515
00:34:24,441 --> 00:34:29,043
one of his transformer coils,
Nikola Tesla had a near-death
516
00:34:29,044 --> 00:34:32,648
experience when he came in
contact with a resonating
517
00:34:32,649 --> 00:34:37,619
electromagnetic charge of
three and a half million volts.
518
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:41,255
Tesla was working
with 60-foot lightning bolts,
519
00:34:41,256 --> 00:34:44,259
and he made a mistake, and he
almost got electrocuted, and he
520
00:34:44,260 --> 00:34:46,061
couldn't get out, and he had to
521
00:34:46,062 --> 00:34:49,331
get one of his workers to stop
the lightning from happening.
522
00:34:49,332 --> 00:34:53,469
And he barely escaped with his
life, and because of a shock
523
00:34:53,470 --> 00:34:56,005
that he had, he
had a revelation.
524
00:34:56,006 --> 00:35:00,009
Tesla said that he
entered a-a state of
525
00:35:00,010 --> 00:35:04,679
timelessness, and he could see
the past and the future and the
526
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:09,650
present all at once in this
mystic vision, but he was
527
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:13,422
paralyzed and he couldn't do
anything about it.
528
00:35:13,423 --> 00:35:15,523
Tesla was being, essentially,
529
00:35:15,524 --> 00:35:21,230
electrocuted, and right then his
assistant cut the power to him.
530
00:35:21,231 --> 00:35:23,231
But what Tesla said it had done
531
00:35:23,232 --> 00:35:26,670
was moved him through
time and space.
532
00:35:30,673 --> 00:35:34,376
But is it really
possible Tesla had found a way
533
00:35:34,377 --> 00:35:38,780
to break through the
space-time continuum?
534
00:35:38,781 --> 00:35:40,181
Ancient astronaut theorists
535
00:35:40,182 --> 00:35:43,719
believe the answer might be
found by looking at what has
536
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:48,456
become known as the
"Philadelphia Experiment."
537
00:35:48,457 --> 00:35:51,826
According to reports,
right before Tesla's death,
538
00:35:51,827 --> 00:35:55,530
he was working with Albert
Einstein and the United States
539
00:35:55,531 --> 00:36:00,733
Navy at the Philadelphia Naval Yard to
create an electromagnetically charged
540
00:36:00,736 --> 00:36:05,706
invisibility cloak for
the USS Eldridge.
541
00:36:05,707 --> 00:36:10,612
They were attempting to
do a stealth technology.
542
00:36:10,613 --> 00:36:13,315
And apparently, they mounted a
bunch of Tesla coils to make a
543
00:36:13,316 --> 00:36:15,349
bunch of plasma around a ship,
544
00:36:15,350 --> 00:36:22,090
and this is well known to help
hide things from radar.
545
00:36:22,091 --> 00:36:25,193
But something very
unexpected happened.
546
00:36:25,194 --> 00:36:28,764
The ship didn't just
disappear from radar.
547
00:36:28,765 --> 00:36:34,770
It disappeared completely
and reappeared with some of the
548
00:36:34,771 --> 00:36:38,508
crew actually embedded in the
metal of the ship.
549
00:36:40,693 --> 00:36:44,880
Although mainstream
scientists believe the so-called
550
00:36:44,881 --> 00:36:51,786
Philadelphia Experiment is a hoax,
some insist the account is authentic.
551
00:36:51,787 --> 00:36:56,492
We have leaked
testimony from classified levels
552
00:36:56,493 --> 00:36:59,594
of secrecy in the U.S.
government the Philadelphia
553
00:36:59,595 --> 00:37:03,599
Experiment was real, that the
soldiers on that ship got
554
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,768
disoriented, and they ended up
walking into the hull.
555
00:37:07,769 --> 00:37:11,672
And when the ship then
rematerialized in our reality,
556
00:37:11,673 --> 00:37:16,145
their bodies melded with the
metal in the hull.
557
00:37:16,146 --> 00:37:22,617
Had Tesla really discovered a way
to travel through time and space?
558
00:37:22,618 --> 00:37:25,286
If so, might the secrets behind
559
00:37:25,287 --> 00:37:28,824
this technology, along with the
blueprints for Tesla's death
560
00:37:28,825 --> 00:37:32,895
beam, have been included in the
scientific documents that the
561
00:37:32,896 --> 00:37:37,299
FBI allegedly confiscated
upon his death?
562
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:42,304
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe evidence of this might
563
00:37:42,305 --> 00:37:47,709
be found with the modern world's
most sophisticated new weaponry.
564
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:54,217
The Singapore Airshow.
565
00:37:54,218 --> 00:37:57,922
February 2014.
566
00:37:57,923 --> 00:38:02,292
An Israeli arms company known as
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems
567
00:38:02,293 --> 00:38:06,830
reveals details of a laser
defense system capable of
568
00:38:06,831 --> 00:38:10,334
shooting missiles from the sky
with a pulse of energy.
569
00:38:14,369 --> 00:38:20,844
The futuristic military hardware
is called Iron Beam.
570
00:38:20,845 --> 00:38:24,382
The concept of Iron
Beam is that it's essentially a
571
00:38:24,383 --> 00:38:26,116
high-energy laser that is
572
00:38:26,117 --> 00:38:31,054
designed to rapidly heat up the
target that it's aimed at.
573
00:38:31,055 --> 00:38:34,525
We're talking about aircraft,
drones, missiles.
574
00:38:34,526 --> 00:38:38,496
Anything that could launch an
attack on a city could be
575
00:38:38,497 --> 00:38:42,133
literally destroyed in the sky
by Iron Beam.
576
00:38:45,204 --> 00:38:48,538
This sounds very much like
Tesla's death ray.
577
00:38:48,539 --> 00:38:53,511
This is exactly the kind of technology
that Tesla was talking about in the
578
00:38:53,512 --> 00:38:59,217
1920s and '30s, of using these
beam weapons to shoot down
579
00:38:59,218 --> 00:39:02,087
missiles and projectiles.
580
00:39:04,021 --> 00:39:06,891
The War Department sided
with Einstein and
581
00:39:06,892 --> 00:39:11,094
Oppenheimer's atomic
bomb, not with Tesla.
582
00:39:11,095 --> 00:39:13,563
But now what we're seeing is
583
00:39:13,564 --> 00:39:18,402
that Israel is developing this
Iron Beam technology because
584
00:39:18,403 --> 00:39:25,275
they've realized that atomic
weapons were far too destructive.
585
00:39:25,276 --> 00:39:32,250
Is it possible that Tesla developed a
time-viewing or time travel technology,
586
00:39:32,251 --> 00:39:37,420
and that he became aware of
these developments?
587
00:39:37,421 --> 00:39:43,291
Tesla was once quoted as saying,
"The present is theirs, but the future for
588
00:39:43,294 --> 00:39:46,397
which I have really
worked is mine."
589
00:39:46,398 --> 00:39:50,169
Did Tesla, in fact,
see into the future?
590
00:39:52,604 --> 00:39:57,275
Might Iron Beam be proof that
plans for the death ray not
591
00:39:57,276 --> 00:40:00,944
only existed, but also may
have even been confiscated
592
00:40:00,945 --> 00:40:04,850
and carried out by the
United States government?
593
00:40:07,207 --> 00:40:11,621
There are those who believe
that Nikola Tesla was not only
594
00:40:11,622 --> 00:40:16,627
in contact with extraterrestrials, but was
sent here to Earth by them to fulfill
595
00:40:16,628 --> 00:40:22,165
a mission and usher in a new age
for mankind.
596
00:40:22,166 --> 00:40:25,603
One of the big questions is: Who is Tesla?
597
00:40:25,604 --> 00:40:27,605
Is he, in a sense, an avatar,
598
00:40:27,606 --> 00:40:33,043
an enlightened being that comes
to the Earth to help humans?
599
00:40:33,044 --> 00:40:34,177
No one really knows exactly
600
00:40:34,178 --> 00:40:36,647
what's going on, but I think all
great artists- and Tesla saw
601
00:40:36,648 --> 00:40:38,114
himself as an artist- feel that
602
00:40:38,115 --> 00:40:41,618
they're instruments of a higher
purpose, and Tesla certainly
603
00:40:41,619 --> 00:40:45,121
felt that he was working
along those lines.
604
00:40:45,122 --> 00:40:47,223
There is an agenda for humanity.
605
00:40:47,224 --> 00:40:48,491
There is a plan.
606
00:40:48,492 --> 00:40:52,496
And in every generation,
whatever power it is that's
607
00:40:52,497 --> 00:40:54,464
behind the plan sends to Earth
608
00:40:54,465 --> 00:41:01,739
certain specific souls who are,
by birth, more inclined and able
609
00:41:01,740 --> 00:41:06,979
to be receptors to the
higher knowledge.
610
00:41:08,649 --> 00:41:11,514
You have to wonder
611
00:41:11,515 --> 00:41:15,518
if Tesla was transplanted to
Earth by extraterrestrials in
612
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:23,027
order to envision and invent all
of these amazing devices.
613
00:41:23,028 --> 00:41:24,694
If extraterrestrials
614
00:41:24,695 --> 00:41:27,297
put Tesla in place for a
615
00:41:27,298 --> 00:41:28,699
specific purpose, did they
616
00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:31,701
accomplish what they
hoped to achieve?
617
00:41:31,702 --> 00:41:34,438
The answer may be no,
618
00:41:34,439 --> 00:41:37,674
because if Tesla's technologies
had been openly acknowledged
619
00:41:37,675 --> 00:41:40,677
here on Earth, we could have
greened the deserts.
620
00:41:40,678 --> 00:41:45,683
We could be desalinating ocean water
with table top energy levels.
621
00:41:45,684 --> 00:41:49,453
We could have a totally new and
different world in which we
622
00:41:49,454 --> 00:41:52,690
don't have to pay for energy, in
which we have anti-gravity
623
00:41:52,691 --> 00:41:55,692
craft, in which we have
teleportation technology, and in
624
00:41:55,693 --> 00:42:00,730
which we truly have become a
golden age here on Earth.
625
00:42:00,731 --> 00:42:02,668
That has not happened.
626
00:42:03,803 --> 00:42:07,705
Is it possible that
Nikola Tesla really was
627
00:42:07,706 --> 00:42:11,708
influenced by
otherworldly beings?
628
00:42:11,709 --> 00:42:15,446
Might he have been inspired to
carry out an extraterrestrial
629
00:42:15,447 --> 00:42:21,185
experiment, as some ancient
astronaut theorists suggest?
630
00:42:21,186 --> 00:42:24,721
And could it be
that mankind was not ready to
631
00:42:24,722 --> 00:42:27,325
receive this advanced knowledge?
632
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,330
Perhaps, but if such an
audacious notion is true, then
633
00:42:34,331 --> 00:42:38,368
is it possible that we are now
on the threshold of completing
634
00:42:38,369 --> 00:42:44,107
his experiment, and in doing so,
might we reconnect not only
635
00:42:44,108 --> 00:42:46,342
with Tesla's genius, but with an
636
00:42:46,343 --> 00:42:49,746
alien intelligence that
stretches throughout the galaxy?
