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? 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,074 Advertise your product or brand here

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?
