1
00:00:01,369 --> 00:00:04,636
Russia may be one
of the areas on this planet
2
00:00:04,739 --> 00:00:06,538
that has been ladened with
3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,674
incredible amounts of UFO activity
4
00:00:08,776 --> 00:00:10,743
since the beginning of time.
5
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:13,112
These flying machines
6
00:00:13,214 --> 00:00:15,781
were seen all over the Soviet Union.
7
00:00:15,883 --> 00:00:19,685
The Soviets knew something about UFOs.
8
00:00:19,787 --> 00:00:21,420
They had secrets.
9
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:24,289
The Soviets have in their possession
10
00:00:24,392 --> 00:00:28,227
no less than the remains of five
crashed and recovered UFOs.
11
00:00:28,329 --> 00:00:30,763
There is undeniable evidence
12
00:00:30,865 --> 00:00:34,333
that Russia is sitting
on a virtual treasure trove
13
00:00:34,435 --> 00:00:37,202
of information that proves
14
00:00:37,304 --> 00:00:39,972
that extraterrestrials visited
Earth in our distant past.
15
00:00:40,074 --> 00:00:43,542
Since the dawn of civilization,
16
00:00:43,644 --> 00:00:47,479
mankind has credited its origins to gods
17
00:00:47,581 --> 00:00:50,282
and other visitors from the stars.
18
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:52,718
What if it were true?
19
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:55,587
Did extraterrestrial beings
20
00:00:55,689 --> 00:00:58,657
really help to shape our history?
21
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:00,659
And if so...
22
00:01:00,761 --> 00:01:02,227
might the ultimate proof
23
00:01:02,329 --> 00:01:06,932
be found in Russia's secret files?

# Ancient Aliens 11x12 #
Russia's Secret Files
Original Air Date on August 12, 2016
26
00:01:35,629 --> 00:01:38,597
Moscow, Russia.
27
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:42,935
December 25, 1991.
28
00:01:43,037 --> 00:01:47,706
At 7:00 p.m., Soviet President
Mikhail Gorbachev
29
00:01:47,808 --> 00:01:50,342
makes a nationally televised address
30
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:53,112
to announce his resignation.
31
00:01:53,214 --> 00:01:54,746
I hereby discontinue
32
00:01:54,849 --> 00:01:58,884
my activities at the post
of President of the USSR.
33
00:01:58,986 --> 00:02:01,120
Moments later,
34
00:02:01,222 --> 00:02:03,856
the Soviet flag is lowered
from the Kremlin
35
00:02:03,958 --> 00:02:06,792
for the final time.
36
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:10,529
One of the world's two superpowers...
37
00:02:10,631 --> 00:02:11,930
has fallen.
38
00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:19,238
From 1922 to 1991,
39
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:21,807
Russia was under the restrictive regime
40
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:25,144
of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics,
41
00:02:25,246 --> 00:02:27,679
which ruled over much of northern Asia
42
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:29,515
and Eastern Europe.
43
00:02:31,085 --> 00:02:34,153
The Soviet government was known
for its brutality,
44
00:02:34,255 --> 00:02:38,023
oppression and culture
of absolute secrecy.
45
00:02:44,532 --> 00:02:46,532
It was very much a case
46
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:48,567
of everything that happens
47
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:51,003
within government
stays within government,
48
00:02:51,105 --> 00:02:52,704
and the consequences were lethal.
49
00:02:57,678 --> 00:03:02,347
This was a closed,
highly secretive society
50
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:04,483
that kept secrets, not just, of course,
51
00:03:04,585 --> 00:03:06,785
from us in the West,
52
00:03:06,887 --> 00:03:08,720
but from its own people.
53
00:03:10,157 --> 00:03:11,823
One of the challenges of defending
54
00:03:11,926 --> 00:03:14,726
this vast landmass
in Russia is that, uh,
55
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:18,030
its borders are very insecure,
at all points.
56
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,233
So in order to conquer space,
57
00:03:21,335 --> 00:03:24,703
it has an obsession
with national security.
58
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:27,706
Secrecy has become imbedded
within the political culture;
59
00:03:27,808 --> 00:03:30,709
and also, many people
in Russia agree with the idea
60
00:03:30,811 --> 00:03:33,345
that most things
should be kept a secret.
61
00:03:35,049 --> 00:03:37,382
When the Soviet Union was dissolved,
62
00:03:37,484 --> 00:03:42,354
so too was its main security
agency-- the KGB.
63
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:46,391
The top-secret KGB files
were suddenly vulnerable,
64
00:03:46,493 --> 00:03:48,927
with many in the hands of former agents,
65
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:51,697
ready to sell them
to the highest bidders.
66
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:56,368
Thousands more were smuggled out
by Vasiliy Mitrokhin,
67
00:03:56,470 --> 00:04:00,505
who worked in the KGB's
foreign intelligence archive
68
00:04:00,608 --> 00:04:04,509
from 1972 to 1984.
69
00:04:04,612 --> 00:04:06,478
The documents that have been leaked
70
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:10,649
include KGB information on
secret Russian weapons caches,
71
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:12,317
Russian spies,
72
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:15,020
and even UFO reports.
73
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:16,421
The Soviet Union
74
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:19,791
had a large number of UFO encounters.
75
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:22,294
Western researchers
had really no knowledge
76
00:04:22,396 --> 00:04:24,997
of what was going on
behind the Iron Curtain.
77
00:04:25,099 --> 00:04:28,967
We now know that there were thousands
78
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:31,903
and thousands of Soviet UFO cases
79
00:04:32,006 --> 00:04:33,338
that were taking place during that time.
80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,874
A number of records did indeed come out.
81
00:04:35,976 --> 00:04:37,342
And we now have access to them.
82
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:40,045
Could the definitive evidence
83
00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:42,347
of extraterrestrial contact
84
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:45,417
lie hidden within the secret KGB files
85
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:47,786
that are just now coming to light?
86
00:04:47,888 --> 00:04:51,990
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
87
00:04:52,092 --> 00:04:54,760
and suggest recent findings reveal
88
00:04:54,862 --> 00:04:59,298
the Soviets were not only
covering up modern UFO reports,
89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,601
but also proof that aliens visited Earth
90
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:05,504
in the distant past.
91
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:09,474
Leningrad, Russia.
92
00:05:09,576 --> 00:05:13,412
December 1, 1934.
93
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:15,380
Sergei Kirov,
94
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:17,082
a Communist party leader
95
00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:21,787
and rival to fellow party leader
Joseph Stalin, is murdered.
96
00:05:24,091 --> 00:05:26,591
The assassination marks the beginning
97
00:05:26,694 --> 00:05:30,562
of the darkest period in the
history of the Soviet Union:
98
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:33,865
The Great Purges.
99
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:36,868
With Kirov gone,
100
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:38,704
Stalin's power grew,
101
00:05:38,806 --> 00:05:41,840
and he unleashed a widespread campaign
102
00:05:41,942 --> 00:05:44,042
of ruthless political persecution
103
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:45,977
meant to weed out dissenters...
104
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:51,416
and consolidate his absolute authority.
105
00:05:54,755 --> 00:05:57,222
Among the millions who were arrested
106
00:05:57,324 --> 00:05:59,958
and interrogated during this period
107
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:01,727
was respected Russian scientist
108
00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:05,230
and philosopher Dr. Genrikh Ludvig.
109
00:06:07,668 --> 00:06:09,267
An incredible human being.
110
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:12,104
This was a person
who could speak 20 ancient
111
00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:14,072
and modern languages.
112
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:17,376
He had incredible
encyclopedic knowledge.
113
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,946
Dr. Ludvig was accused
114
00:06:21,048 --> 00:06:23,115
of being a spy for the Vatican
115
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:25,150
and spent decades
116
00:06:25,252 --> 00:06:29,488
in one of Stalin's
brutal Gulag labor camps.
117
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:32,023
But in 2011,
118
00:06:32,126 --> 00:06:34,626
38 years after his death,
119
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:38,497
an article in the Russian
newspaper Sovershenno Sekretno,
120
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:40,232
or Top Secret,
121
00:06:40,334 --> 00:06:44,236
revealed the true purpose of
Ludvig's work at the Vatican,
122
00:06:44,338 --> 00:06:49,207
and possibly also for his arrest.
123
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:52,177
The reason he was accused
of being a spy for the Vatican
124
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,012
is because in 1920s,
125
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:56,915
as a young student of architecture,
126
00:06:57,017 --> 00:06:59,985
he visited the Vatican,
127
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:03,622
where he was given access
to the secret library.
128
00:07:04,992 --> 00:07:06,691
In that library, he found manuscripts
129
00:07:06,794 --> 00:07:10,729
that describe extraterrestrial
civilizations and more.
130
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:16,201
Dr. Genrikh Ludvig discovered
a number of manuscripts
131
00:07:16,303 --> 00:07:17,836
suggesting that there had been
132
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:21,173
historic extraterrestrial contact
133
00:07:21,275 --> 00:07:26,645
with ancient civilizations in Egypt,
134
00:07:26,747 --> 00:07:28,146
Israel
135
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:30,949
and Mesopotamia.
136
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:33,985
These manuscripts that talked,
for example,
137
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:35,654
about the pyramids
138
00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:39,257
and described them as energy machines.
139
00:07:41,862 --> 00:07:44,830
When he went back to the Soviet Union,
140
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:46,965
they treated him very poorly,
141
00:07:47,067 --> 00:07:48,900
when, in fact, he was perhaps
142
00:07:49,002 --> 00:07:52,938
the greatest
of all the early researchers
143
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,942
into the whole concept of ancient aliens
144
00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:58,176
coming to our planet.
145
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:04,816
Might Dr. Ludvig have really discovered
146
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:07,085
ancient manuscripts within the Vatican
147
00:08:07,187 --> 00:08:09,087
that describe extraterrestrials
148
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:11,122
visiting Earth?
149
00:08:11,225 --> 00:08:13,058
Did the Russian government
150
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,694
accuse him of espionage in an attempt
151
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:18,630
to suppress his controversial findings?
152
00:08:20,033 --> 00:08:23,134
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
153
00:08:23,237 --> 00:08:26,938
and claim Ludwig was not
the only one silenced
154
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,875
by the Soviet government
for his research.
155
00:08:32,713 --> 00:08:36,581
When Vladimir Lenin
seized power in 1917,
156
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:38,517
he established the first state
157
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:41,052
to seek the elimination of religion.
158
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:43,688
The Communist regime
159
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:46,725
also actively suppressed a philosophy
160
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:49,094
that had become widespread
throughout Russia
161
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:51,830
in the early 20th century:
162
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:53,698
Cosmism.
163
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:58,036
There is a Russian tradition,
164
00:08:58,138 --> 00:09:01,740
beginning in the late 1800s
called "Cosmism".
165
00:09:01,842 --> 00:09:05,243
The cosmists began with a philosopher,
166
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:07,612
a guy named Nikolai Fyodorov,
167
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:09,447
in the 1870s and 1880s,
168
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:12,217
who inspired the father
of Soviet rocketry,
169
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:13,885
who actually designed the rockets
170
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:15,687
that put the first man into space.
171
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:18,089
They believed that human civilization
172
00:09:18,191 --> 00:09:19,958
actually had origins
173
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,627
in outer space
174
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:25,630
and that it was our destiny,
as human beings,
175
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,198
to move back into space;
176
00:09:27,301 --> 00:09:30,268
we would go back into
the "cradle of civilization."
177
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:34,139
And after Joseph Stalin died,
many of those individuals
178
00:09:34,241 --> 00:09:35,774
that were exploring the idea
179
00:09:35,876 --> 00:09:38,910
of ancient paleo-contacts with aliens,
180
00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:42,247
uh, were allowed to voice
their opinions publicly.
181
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,684
In 1961,
182
00:09:45,786 --> 00:09:49,688
Russian physicist
and mathematician Matest Agrest
183
00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:51,756
published a controversial paper
184
00:09:51,858 --> 00:09:54,426
proposing that extraterrestrials
185
00:09:54,528 --> 00:09:58,029
had visited
Earth's ancient civilizations.
186
00:09:58,131 --> 00:10:01,600
Similar theories were also offered
187
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:03,702
by author Alexander Kasantsev
188
00:10:03,804 --> 00:10:06,605
and astronomer Iosif Shklovskii.
189
00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:10,208
But while these researchers
did not suffer
190
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:13,645
the same persecution
as those that came before them,
191
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:16,314
they claimed that the Soviet government
192
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:19,217
worked to suppress their theories.
193
00:10:20,354 --> 00:10:21,920
The idea
194
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:23,755
that there were Soviet astronomers
195
00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:26,558
who were seriously studying
196
00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:28,593
these topics and ideas
197
00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:30,295
leads me to think
198
00:10:30,397 --> 00:10:32,631
that we're the one's
who are on to something.
199
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:37,102
And we are now able
to access information
200
00:10:37,204 --> 00:10:39,738
that for so many years,
has remained censored.
201
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:45,310
Is it possible
202
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:48,480
that the truth about
extraterrestrial contact
203
00:10:48,582 --> 00:10:50,782
was hidden behind the Iron Curtain
204
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:53,818
of the former Soviet Union?
205
00:10:55,088 --> 00:10:57,589
Perhaps further clues can be found
206
00:10:57,691 --> 00:11:01,526
by examining a mysterious site
that may hold proof
207
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:05,463
of an ancient
extraterrestrial visitation.
208
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:10,135
Coming up...
209
00:11:10,237 --> 00:11:11,703
Arkaim has been described
210
00:11:11,805 --> 00:11:14,239
as Russia's Stonehenge.
211
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:17,042
Someone, possibly extraterrestrials,
212
00:11:17,144 --> 00:11:20,945
identified this
as a site of special energy.
213
00:11:26,461 --> 00:11:27,961
Russia.
214
00:11:29,698 --> 00:11:31,364
Spanning a staggering
215
00:11:31,466 --> 00:11:34,034
6.6 million square miles,
216
00:11:34,136 --> 00:11:37,003
it is the largest country on Earth.
217
00:11:37,973 --> 00:11:40,140
Its massive territory
218
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:43,510
is also the most geographically diverse,
219
00:11:43,612 --> 00:11:47,981
consisting of some of the most
extreme terrain on the planet,
220
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:51,718
including dense forests,
221
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:54,754
frozen tundra,
222
00:11:54,856 --> 00:11:57,023
remote mountains,
223
00:11:57,125 --> 00:12:00,327
and barren deserts.
224
00:12:01,496 --> 00:12:03,763
Despite its physical size,
225
00:12:03,865 --> 00:12:05,799
as much as 50% of Russia
226
00:12:05,901 --> 00:12:07,067
remains uninhabited
227
00:12:07,169 --> 00:12:11,204
and largely unexplored by mankind.
228
00:12:14,810 --> 00:12:18,478
Russia is almost twice the size
of the United States.
229
00:12:19,815 --> 00:12:22,015
Just to compare, the United States
230
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:25,251
expands over four time zones,
231
00:12:25,354 --> 00:12:28,888
while Russia expands
over eleven time zones.
232
00:12:28,991 --> 00:12:30,857
The size of Russia,
233
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:33,627
its harsh climate,
234
00:12:33,729 --> 00:12:35,362
especially
in the northern parts of Russia,
235
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:38,498
makes it very difficult to explore.
236
00:12:42,838 --> 00:12:45,705
One of Russia's most mysterious areas
237
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:48,475
is a valley just north of Kazakhstan,
238
00:12:48,577 --> 00:12:50,844
where in 1987,
239
00:12:50,946 --> 00:12:53,947
archaeologists from
the University of Chelyabinsk
240
00:12:54,049 --> 00:12:57,083
discovered the remains
of an ancient settlement,
241
00:12:57,185 --> 00:12:58,985
which they were able to date back
242
00:12:59,087 --> 00:13:03,556
to between the 17th and 20th
centuries B.C.
243
00:13:03,659 --> 00:13:07,627
Much of the original structures
of this megalithic site,
244
00:13:07,729 --> 00:13:10,797
known as Arkaim, no longer exist,
245
00:13:10,899 --> 00:13:14,401
but scientists have mapped out
its original design,
246
00:13:14,503 --> 00:13:17,937
which includes massive circular walls
247
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,540
similar to Stonehenge.
248
00:13:22,711 --> 00:13:25,679
So, Arkaim has been described
as Russia's Stonehenge.
249
00:13:25,781 --> 00:13:27,147
Now, this is quite intriguing
250
00:13:27,249 --> 00:13:30,550
because its a very similar
latitude to Stonehenge.
251
00:13:30,652 --> 00:13:33,753
It's been suggested that
it could've been put there
252
00:13:33,855 --> 00:13:36,222
for astronomical and surveying purposes.
253
00:13:38,293 --> 00:13:40,627
It seems that Arkaim, at some point,
254
00:13:40,729 --> 00:13:42,762
was some type of an observatory,
255
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:45,098
which I think is incredibly fascinating,
256
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,767
because it means that worldwide,
257
00:13:47,869 --> 00:13:50,770
our ancestors witnessed other things
258
00:13:50,872 --> 00:13:53,506
that would explain this long-held
259
00:13:53,608 --> 00:13:56,843
fascination with the stars.
260
00:13:56,945 --> 00:13:58,778
The way the city was built,
261
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,814
it was a circular structure.
262
00:14:00,916 --> 00:14:04,350
It had a very interesting
central square.
263
00:14:04,453 --> 00:14:07,587
Basically, it was an interior circle
264
00:14:07,689 --> 00:14:10,724
surrounded by a circle, which to many,
265
00:14:10,826 --> 00:14:13,460
means the Mandala principle
of the Buddhism...
266
00:14:15,764 --> 00:14:17,564
...or a depiction of the universe
267
00:14:17,666 --> 00:14:20,633
in a very miniaturized way.
268
00:14:26,274 --> 00:14:28,908
Incredibly, archaeologists have found
269
00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:33,079
that Arkaim was built with
features aligned to measure
270
00:14:33,181 --> 00:14:35,648
as many as 18 astronomical events,
271
00:14:35,751 --> 00:14:39,085
such as the solstices and equinoxes.
272
00:14:39,187 --> 00:14:41,721
And discovered among the ruins
273
00:14:41,823 --> 00:14:43,923
was an ancient statue of a man
274
00:14:44,025 --> 00:14:45,692
looking up to the sky.
275
00:14:48,163 --> 00:14:49,596
Adding to the mystery
276
00:14:49,698 --> 00:14:52,932
are reports of strange anomalies
in the region,
277
00:14:53,034 --> 00:14:55,235
that continue to this day,
278
00:14:55,337 --> 00:14:58,938
which include magnetic inconsistencies,
279
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,175
strange lights,
280
00:15:02,277 --> 00:15:04,477
and curious fog formations.
281
00:15:10,786 --> 00:15:13,119
When you consider the strange lights,
282
00:15:13,221 --> 00:15:16,189
the weird fog, the magnetic anomalies,
283
00:15:16,291 --> 00:15:18,391
the unusual hallucinations,
284
00:15:18,493 --> 00:15:20,326
and things that have happened
to people there,
285
00:15:20,428 --> 00:15:23,229
it appears that this
is some sort of energy node
286
00:15:23,331 --> 00:15:25,231
or vortex point on the Earth...
287
00:15:27,235 --> 00:15:29,936
...that was actually utilized
by extraterrestrials
288
00:15:30,038 --> 00:15:32,405
when this was constructed.
289
00:15:32,507 --> 00:15:36,242
If you actually look
at the shape of Arkaim,
290
00:15:36,344 --> 00:15:39,612
it could have been the platform
for a spacecraft,
291
00:15:39,714 --> 00:15:41,748
like a rocket, to launch off from.
292
00:15:47,556 --> 00:15:50,356
Could Arkaim really have been the site
293
00:15:50,458 --> 00:15:52,692
of an extraterrestrial visitation
294
00:15:52,794 --> 00:15:54,894
thousands of years ago?
295
00:15:54,996 --> 00:15:58,431
And might this be why
the structures found here
296
00:15:58,533 --> 00:16:02,101
were built with such precise
astronomical alignments?
297
00:16:03,538 --> 00:16:06,973
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
298
00:16:07,075 --> 00:16:10,810
and suggest physical evidence
of such a visitation
299
00:16:10,912 --> 00:16:14,047
might exist
in the nearby Ural Mountains.
300
00:16:18,687 --> 00:16:22,155
Ural Mountains are very old mountains
301
00:16:22,257 --> 00:16:24,257
stretching from, uh,
302
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:27,260
the Russian north to the Russian south.
303
00:16:30,332 --> 00:16:33,333
It, kind of, splitting Russia
into two parts,
304
00:16:33,435 --> 00:16:35,201
Europe and Asia.
305
00:16:35,303 --> 00:16:39,072
Indeed, people living
in the Ural Mountains,
306
00:16:39,174 --> 00:16:43,209
witness some strange phenomena
in the air and on the ground.
307
00:16:43,311 --> 00:16:47,046
Dozens of visitors to the Ural Mountains
308
00:16:47,148 --> 00:16:49,849
have reported strange sightings
of fireballs
309
00:16:49,951 --> 00:16:52,151
and cigar-shaped crafts.
310
00:16:52,254 --> 00:16:53,786
But even stranger,
311
00:16:53,889 --> 00:16:57,056
is what has been found
in the earth here.
312
00:16:57,158 --> 00:17:01,294
In 1991, geologists led an expedition
313
00:17:01,396 --> 00:17:06,199
into the mineral-rich Urals in
hopes of locating gold deposits.
314
00:17:06,301 --> 00:17:10,169
While excavating sites
near the Kozhim, Narada,
315
00:17:10,272 --> 00:17:12,272
and Balbanyu rivers,
316
00:17:12,374 --> 00:17:15,174
just 600 miles north of Arkaim,
317
00:17:15,277 --> 00:17:18,778
the scientists discovered
something unexpected.
318
00:17:20,181 --> 00:17:21,948
At depths of over 30 feet,
319
00:17:22,050 --> 00:17:27,453
they unearthed a scattering
of tiny metal coils and springs.
320
00:17:30,959 --> 00:17:34,060
That soil wasn't touched
for hundreds of thousands
321
00:17:34,162 --> 00:17:35,361
or more years.
322
00:17:36,831 --> 00:17:38,765
The area where it was found,
323
00:17:38,867 --> 00:17:41,935
was probably tens of kilometers around.
324
00:17:42,037 --> 00:17:45,872
It's as if something exploded
thousands of years ago
325
00:17:48,076 --> 00:17:50,476
and the fragments were lying
all over the place.
326
00:17:54,516 --> 00:17:55,882
The metal fragments,
327
00:17:55,984 --> 00:17:58,785
some as small as 1/10,000 of an inch,
328
00:17:58,887 --> 00:18:01,721
were sent to the Russian
Academy of Sciences
329
00:18:01,823 --> 00:18:04,757
in St. Petersburg for analysis.
330
00:18:04,859 --> 00:18:08,494
Their shape resembled
manufactured technology,
331
00:18:08,596 --> 00:18:11,831
rather than
naturally occurring minerals.
332
00:18:11,933 --> 00:18:15,802
The smallest pieces were found
to be tungsten,
333
00:18:15,904 --> 00:18:18,938
a metal used in spacecrafts
and missiles,
334
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,542
due to its ability
to withstand high temperatures.
335
00:18:26,114 --> 00:18:28,114
They are these metal spirals
336
00:18:28,216 --> 00:18:31,484
that consist of copper,
but also tungsten,
337
00:18:31,586 --> 00:18:33,152
and Molybdenum,
338
00:18:33,254 --> 00:18:36,422
which are both very rare metals.
339
00:18:36,524 --> 00:18:39,092
We're looking at nanotechnology.
340
00:18:39,194 --> 00:18:42,095
When you look down
at them in a microscope,
341
00:18:42,197 --> 00:18:44,330
they're extremely regular
in their structure.
342
00:18:44,432 --> 00:18:46,699
They're very nice coils.
343
00:18:46,801 --> 00:18:49,969
The only way we could make them,
even now,
344
00:18:50,071 --> 00:18:52,839
is with machine-guided technology.
345
00:18:52,941 --> 00:18:55,408
You could not do this by hand.
346
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:59,312
What we're seeing here is proof
347
00:18:59,414 --> 00:19:01,848
that someone had advanced technology
348
00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:04,617
sufficient to build
the type of circuitry
349
00:19:04,719 --> 00:19:08,187
that we normally only see
in semiconductors,
350
00:19:08,289 --> 00:19:10,223
computer chips,
351
00:19:10,325 --> 00:19:12,625
high technology equipment,
352
00:19:12,727 --> 00:19:16,229
using metals
that are not commonly known.
353
00:19:16,331 --> 00:19:19,532
So these spirals are clear evidence
354
00:19:19,634 --> 00:19:23,302
that someone had
a very advanced civilization
355
00:19:23,405 --> 00:19:26,639
right here on Earth near Arkaim.
356
00:19:30,578 --> 00:19:32,311
Might extraterrestrials
357
00:19:32,414 --> 00:19:35,648
have visited the Ural Mountains
in the distant past?
358
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:38,451
And if so,
did they leave behind evidence
359
00:19:38,553 --> 00:19:41,421
of advanced technology?
360
00:19:41,523 --> 00:19:43,656
Could they have helped to build
361
00:19:43,758 --> 00:19:46,459
the prehistoric observatory of Arkaim,
362
00:19:46,561 --> 00:19:49,896
as ancient astronaut theorists contend?
363
00:19:49,998 --> 00:19:52,999
Perhaps further clues can be found
364
00:19:53,101 --> 00:19:56,202
by examining much more recent accounts
365
00:19:56,304 --> 00:19:58,805
of otherworldly visitations.
366
00:20:04,345 --> 00:20:08,047
He had collected hundreds of UFO cases.
367
00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:11,651
The Soviet Union would
not give it public credence.
368
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:13,920
But we now have very good
information that
369
00:20:14,022 --> 00:20:15,021
it was reality.
370
00:20:22,530 --> 00:20:23,495
Moscow.
371
00:20:23,598 --> 00:20:26,999
May 17, 1967.
372
00:20:29,303 --> 00:20:31,236
In a secure government building,
373
00:20:31,339 --> 00:20:34,873
a meeting is held
of scientists dedicated
374
00:20:34,976 --> 00:20:37,142
to collecting comprehensive research
375
00:20:37,244 --> 00:20:40,579
on reports of unidentified flying craft.
376
00:20:42,350 --> 00:20:46,552
It is the first official
Soviet UFO Study Group,
377
00:20:46,654 --> 00:20:50,389
and six months later, on November 10,
378
00:20:50,491 --> 00:20:51,957
the government gives its approval
379
00:20:52,059 --> 00:20:54,960
for the group's deputy,
astronomer Felix Ziegel,
380
00:20:55,062 --> 00:20:56,595
to present its findings
381
00:20:56,697 --> 00:20:58,731
on Soviet Central Television.
382
00:21:00,334 --> 00:21:02,601
Felix Ziegel asked the public
383
00:21:02,703 --> 00:21:05,904
to contact them with sightings.
384
00:21:06,007 --> 00:21:08,040
Now this was
an extraordinary development.
385
00:21:09,543 --> 00:21:12,678
Previously, little if anything,
had been made public
386
00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:15,614
about official interest in this.
387
00:21:15,716 --> 00:21:19,118
And here you have somebody
going on television
388
00:21:19,220 --> 00:21:20,819
talking about it quite openly
389
00:21:20,921 --> 00:21:23,288
and inviting people
to send in their sightings.
390
00:21:23,391 --> 00:21:25,124
Well, needless to say,
391
00:21:25,226 --> 00:21:29,028
there were a lot of sightings
that were then reported,
392
00:21:29,130 --> 00:21:30,963
but the project itself
393
00:21:31,065 --> 00:21:35,934
soon was dogged
by controversy and dissent.
394
00:21:37,471 --> 00:21:40,005
Shortly after the television broadcast,
395
00:21:40,107 --> 00:21:43,175
the government forced the group
to be disbanded,
396
00:21:43,277 --> 00:21:47,279
fearful that it might lead
to reports surfacing
397
00:21:47,381 --> 00:21:51,216
of top secret Soviet military tests.
398
00:21:51,318 --> 00:21:55,788
But Ziegel still managed to
collect a huge amount of data,
399
00:21:55,890 --> 00:21:59,958
including reports from Russian pilots.
400
00:22:00,061 --> 00:22:02,695
He was able
to publish some of his findings
401
00:22:02,797 --> 00:22:08,267
in a 1968 anthology
titled Inhabited Cosmos.
402
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:10,969
I met Felix Ziegel in Moscow.
403
00:22:11,072 --> 00:22:14,640
He had collected hundreds of UFO cases.
404
00:22:14,742 --> 00:22:17,643
He said that these flying objects
405
00:22:17,745 --> 00:22:20,412
were seen all over the Soviet Union.
406
00:22:20,514 --> 00:22:24,850
Some of them were small,
others large and spherical.
407
00:22:24,952 --> 00:22:28,153
Their technology
must be extraterrestrial,
408
00:22:28,255 --> 00:22:31,290
because they reach an incredible speed
409
00:22:31,392 --> 00:22:34,827
that no human would survive.
410
00:22:34,929 --> 00:22:37,596
While publicly the Soviet government
411
00:22:37,698 --> 00:22:40,766
denounced the research of Felix Ziegel,
412
00:22:40,868 --> 00:22:44,303
they did not stop him
from continuing his work,
413
00:22:44,405 --> 00:22:47,306
and even reviewed his findings.
414
00:22:47,408 --> 00:22:49,541
But why?
415
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,348
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the government
416
00:22:56,450 --> 00:22:59,785
may have been aware that there
really was an alien presence
417
00:22:59,887 --> 00:23:02,087
in their skies.
418
00:23:02,189 --> 00:23:05,791
And they used Ziegel
and other UFO researchers
419
00:23:05,893 --> 00:23:10,763
as a way to secretly monitor
this activity.
420
00:23:10,865 --> 00:23:12,531
A number of records have surfaced
421
00:23:12,633 --> 00:23:15,334
from the Soviet Air Force and the KGB,
422
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:18,604
showing that particularly
in the '50s, '60s, and '70s,
423
00:23:18,706 --> 00:23:22,174
they took the UFO subject
very, very seriously.
424
00:23:24,478 --> 00:23:25,744
Soviet scientists
425
00:23:25,846 --> 00:23:28,647
had to come up with incredible ways
426
00:23:28,749 --> 00:23:30,883
with which to share their knowledge
427
00:23:30,985 --> 00:23:33,685
with their colleagues
in the Western World.
428
00:23:33,788 --> 00:23:38,690
So, they essentially
hid their messages in code,
429
00:23:38,793 --> 00:23:42,594
in letters, in different types
of correspondence.
430
00:23:42,696 --> 00:23:45,364
Why would anyone risk going to jail
431
00:23:45,466 --> 00:23:48,700
by encoding messages
to people and scientists
432
00:23:48,803 --> 00:23:50,202
outside the Iron Curtain,
433
00:23:50,304 --> 00:23:51,770
if you weren't compelled enough
434
00:23:51,872 --> 00:23:54,873
that what you're writing about
is the truth?
435
00:23:57,344 --> 00:24:00,746
Throughout the 1960s
and most of the '70s,
436
00:24:00,848 --> 00:24:05,818
the Soviet government's interest
in UFOs remained unofficial.
437
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,255
But that changed
after September 20, 1977,
438
00:24:10,357 --> 00:24:13,258
when numerous residents of Petrozavodsk
439
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:17,196
reported seeing a glowing object
floating in the sky above
440
00:24:17,298 --> 00:24:19,097
for over 5 minutes,
441
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,934
showering the city with rays of light.
442
00:24:22,036 --> 00:24:24,736
A copy remains of a lost photograph
443
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:26,705
that was taken of the object,
444
00:24:26,807 --> 00:24:29,575
and astonishingly,
445
00:24:29,677 --> 00:24:31,543
similar UFOs were reported
446
00:24:31,645 --> 00:24:35,414
all across Russia and Eastern Europe
447
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:38,250
within a four-hour window.
448
00:24:39,553 --> 00:24:42,221
On the heels of this mass sighting,
449
00:24:42,323 --> 00:24:43,989
the Soviet Union established
450
00:24:44,091 --> 00:24:48,260
the Russian Academy of Sciences'
UFO commission.
451
00:24:48,362 --> 00:24:50,462
In 1984,
452
00:24:50,564 --> 00:24:53,732
they appointed
Major-General Pavel Popovich,
453
00:24:53,834 --> 00:24:56,535
the eighth man ever to reach space,
454
00:24:56,637 --> 00:24:59,271
to head up this research team.
455
00:24:59,373 --> 00:25:01,306
Pavel Popovich brought forth
456
00:25:01,408 --> 00:25:03,775
a lot of the UFO information himself
457
00:25:03,878 --> 00:25:07,679
and he was able to obtain
the KGB UFO files--
458
00:25:07,781 --> 00:25:10,148
124 pages-- in 1992.
459
00:25:10,251 --> 00:25:12,551
He said that he knew of the existence
460
00:25:12,653 --> 00:25:14,419
of three underwater bases,
461
00:25:14,521 --> 00:25:17,990
where the extraterrestrials
exist and operate.
462
00:25:18,092 --> 00:25:21,326
This is a man whom we should listen to.
463
00:25:22,830 --> 00:25:25,330
He had two UFO sightings himself,
464
00:25:25,432 --> 00:25:27,933
a very significant one in 1978,
465
00:25:28,035 --> 00:25:32,537
when he was flying back from the
United States to, uh, to Russia.
466
00:25:35,342 --> 00:25:38,877
Out his window,
he saw an absolutely enormous--
467
00:25:38,979 --> 00:25:41,513
football field size, or larger--
468
00:25:41,615 --> 00:25:43,382
triangular craft,
469
00:25:43,484 --> 00:25:45,384
that was moving at a really good clip.
470
00:25:45,486 --> 00:25:46,885
I mean, easily overtook,
471
00:25:46,987 --> 00:25:49,054
uh... the commercial airliner
that he was in.
472
00:25:49,156 --> 00:25:52,624
He wasn't the only one on his
plane to see this, by the way.
473
00:25:52,726 --> 00:25:54,459
He talked to a lot of the other people,
474
00:25:54,561 --> 00:25:56,828
many of whom where academicians,
coming back from a conference,
475
00:25:56,931 --> 00:25:59,331
many of whom saw this.
476
00:26:01,902 --> 00:26:04,703
Did Major-General Pavel Popovich
477
00:26:04,805 --> 00:26:09,341
really witness firsthand
an extraterrestrial spacecraft?
478
00:26:10,778 --> 00:26:12,744
And might he also have found evidence
479
00:26:12,846 --> 00:26:14,980
in secret KGB files
480
00:26:15,082 --> 00:26:18,383
of underwater alien bases?
481
00:26:18,485 --> 00:26:21,453
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
482
00:26:21,555 --> 00:26:25,357
and suggest even more profound
evidence can be found
483
00:26:25,459 --> 00:26:28,627
in a small mountain town
in eastern Russia:
484
00:26:28,729 --> 00:26:30,429
the remains
485
00:26:30,531 --> 00:26:33,365
of a crashed UFO.
486
00:26:36,070 --> 00:26:37,736
What people there saw
487
00:26:37,838 --> 00:26:41,073
was this low flying, very slow object.
488
00:26:41,175 --> 00:26:43,041
It dropped, almost like a stone.
489
00:26:44,511 --> 00:26:46,611
It wasn't made on planet Earth.
490
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:55,437
One of the most decorated test pilots
491
00:26:55,539 --> 00:26:56,905
in Russian history
492
00:26:57,007 --> 00:26:59,708
is a woman named Marina Popovich,
493
00:26:59,810 --> 00:27:02,945
the wife of astronaut Pavel Popovich.
494
00:27:04,848 --> 00:27:07,916
Marina set over 100 records
during her career
495
00:27:08,018 --> 00:27:10,018
in the Soviet Air Force,
496
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,387
which includes being the first woman
497
00:27:12,489 --> 00:27:15,591
to break the sound barrier.
498
00:27:17,962 --> 00:27:19,595
Like her husband,
499
00:27:19,697 --> 00:27:23,732
she, too, reported
on extraterrestrial encounters.
500
00:27:25,202 --> 00:27:28,470
In 2003, Marina published a book
501
00:27:28,572 --> 00:27:33,542
disclosing her firsthand
experiences with UFOs.
502
00:27:33,644 --> 00:27:35,811
In it, she also referenced
503
00:27:35,913 --> 00:27:38,347
thousands of similar UFO sightings
504
00:27:38,449 --> 00:27:39,915
by other Soviet military
505
00:27:40,017 --> 00:27:41,650
and civilian pilots.
506
00:27:44,154 --> 00:27:47,055
She told their stories
at speaking engagements
507
00:27:47,157 --> 00:27:48,490
all over the world.
508
00:27:48,592 --> 00:27:50,926
Like the story of a fighter pilot
509
00:27:51,028 --> 00:27:53,362
who was asked to fire upon
an unidentified,
510
00:27:53,464 --> 00:27:55,797
disc-shaped craft.
511
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:15,951
Marina Popovich is one of the
most famous aviators in history.
512
00:28:16,053 --> 00:28:18,320
She was in a good position
to know what she knew.
513
00:28:18,422 --> 00:28:20,689
She was a very well connected
individual.
514
00:28:22,593 --> 00:28:25,327
She talked about something like
3,000 UFO cases
515
00:28:25,429 --> 00:28:26,828
that had occurred in the Soviet Union
516
00:28:26,930 --> 00:28:28,230
over the years which,
517
00:28:28,332 --> 00:28:30,132
considering the fact that
we knew next to nothing
518
00:28:30,234 --> 00:28:32,668
about the history
of Soviet UFOs before that,
519
00:28:32,770 --> 00:28:34,503
was very significant.
520
00:28:34,605 --> 00:28:38,040
There is particular interest
in sightings from pilots.
521
00:28:38,142 --> 00:28:42,644
Pilots are able, for example,
to judge distances,
522
00:28:42,746 --> 00:28:47,449
speeds, heights, in a way that
maybe the average person can't.
523
00:28:47,551 --> 00:28:50,152
And Marina Popovich
has made a particular effort
524
00:28:50,254 --> 00:28:53,989
to collate all these pilot stories.
525
00:28:55,893 --> 00:28:57,459
What's particularly notable
526
00:28:57,561 --> 00:29:01,063
about Marina Popovich's comments
on the UFO subject
527
00:29:01,165 --> 00:29:04,266
is that she stated that
sources have informed her
528
00:29:04,368 --> 00:29:06,868
that the Soviets have
in their possession
529
00:29:06,970 --> 00:29:10,706
no less than the remains of five
crashed and recovered UFOs.
530
00:29:13,277 --> 00:29:16,211
Did both Marina and Pavel Popovich,
531
00:29:16,313 --> 00:29:20,048
along with scores of other
respected Soviet pilots,
532
00:29:20,150 --> 00:29:22,984
really encounter alien crafts?
533
00:29:23,087 --> 00:29:25,020
And if so,
534
00:29:25,122 --> 00:29:27,055
might there be even more sightings
535
00:29:27,157 --> 00:29:29,024
recorded by the Russian authorities
536
00:29:29,126 --> 00:29:32,761
that have not yet been disclosed
to the public?
537
00:29:37,034 --> 00:29:38,600
Dalnegorsk, Russia.
538
00:29:38,702 --> 00:29:42,637
January 29, 1986.
539
00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:44,706
Just before 8:00 p.m.,
540
00:29:44,808 --> 00:29:47,909
in this small mining town
in eastern Russia,
541
00:29:48,011 --> 00:29:51,613
hundreds of people
see a red, glowing, sphere
542
00:29:51,715 --> 00:29:55,884
moving slowly through the sky
above a nearby mountain.
543
00:29:55,986 --> 00:29:57,753
It appeared to slow down,
544
00:29:57,855 --> 00:30:00,956
before crashing into the hillside.
545
00:30:03,827 --> 00:30:07,095
Many reported seeing
a fiery blaze from the site
546
00:30:07,197 --> 00:30:10,298
for as much as an hour
after it went down.
547
00:30:12,369 --> 00:30:16,204
The sphere flies
into the Izvestkovaya Mountains
548
00:30:16,306 --> 00:30:17,205
and burns up.
549
00:30:17,307 --> 00:30:19,674
There is an explosion...
550
00:30:19,777 --> 00:30:21,576
and people want
to find out what happened,
551
00:30:21,678 --> 00:30:24,312
because I've read eyewitness
accounts-- incredible.
552
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:28,984
Because of the huge
number of eyewitnesses,
553
00:30:29,086 --> 00:30:32,988
the crash became known
as the Russian Roswell.
554
00:30:33,090 --> 00:30:35,724
And like at Roswell,
555
00:30:35,826 --> 00:30:38,293
physical evidence
was recovered from the site,
556
00:30:38,395 --> 00:30:41,563
proving that a crash of some kind did,
557
00:30:41,665 --> 00:30:43,365
in fact, occur.
558
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:46,568
Some local people and researchers
559
00:30:46,670 --> 00:30:48,303
managed to get to the site.
560
00:30:48,405 --> 00:30:52,674
They find very interesting
artifacts, remains.
561
00:30:54,711 --> 00:30:56,278
While officials
562
00:30:56,380 --> 00:30:58,980
dismissed the event
as a possible meteor crash,
563
00:30:59,082 --> 00:31:05,020
microscopic analysis of the
debris yielded unusual results.
564
00:31:05,122 --> 00:31:10,525
The samples contained a complex
system of woven metallic fibers;
565
00:31:10,627 --> 00:31:13,495
and the atomic structure
of the metal itself
566
00:31:13,597 --> 00:31:17,833
appeared to change when exposed to heat.
567
00:31:20,237 --> 00:31:22,370
When they melted the metal
568
00:31:22,472 --> 00:31:24,272
and put it to a spectrum analysis,
569
00:31:24,374 --> 00:31:27,175
the gold and silver
and other metals were gone.
570
00:31:28,812 --> 00:31:31,580
And instead, there was titanium
571
00:31:31,682 --> 00:31:33,748
and molybdenum there.
572
00:31:33,851 --> 00:31:37,619
And so, you have here,
some kind of metals,
573
00:31:37,721 --> 00:31:41,189
which apparently
are mutating into other metals.
574
00:31:41,291 --> 00:31:43,825
Which was very, very unusual.
575
00:31:45,395 --> 00:31:48,163
I think it's part of
some kind of machinery,
576
00:31:48,265 --> 00:31:50,432
nanotechnology machinery,
577
00:31:50,534 --> 00:31:53,034
but it wasn't made on planet Earth.
578
00:31:53,136 --> 00:31:54,703
It was later studied
579
00:31:54,805 --> 00:31:57,239
by a number of Soviet
scientific institutions
580
00:31:57,341 --> 00:32:00,542
and some of them said that
technology like this
581
00:32:00,644 --> 00:32:03,278
does not exist, uh, on Earth today.
582
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:07,048
Subsequent to the Dalnegorsk crash,
583
00:32:07,150 --> 00:32:08,984
there have been a number of sightings
584
00:32:09,086 --> 00:32:10,652
in exactly the same area.
585
00:32:10,754 --> 00:32:13,922
Some people have even seen an object
586
00:32:14,024 --> 00:32:17,425
apparently land on the hillside
587
00:32:17,527 --> 00:32:19,527
where the first crash took place.
588
00:32:21,331 --> 00:32:24,099
Might the object
that crashed at Dalnegorsk,
589
00:32:24,201 --> 00:32:26,835
and was witnessed by hundreds of people,
590
00:32:26,937 --> 00:32:29,938
really have been an alien craft?
591
00:32:31,441 --> 00:32:33,942
Could the physical evidence left behind
592
00:32:34,044 --> 00:32:36,044
provide undeniable proof
593
00:32:36,146 --> 00:32:39,915
that otherworldly beings
are visiting planet Earth,
594
00:32:40,017 --> 00:32:44,586
and have been for thousands of years?
595
00:32:44,688 --> 00:32:48,790
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
596
00:32:48,892 --> 00:32:52,327
and believe that Russians have
had contact with aliens,
597
00:32:52,429 --> 00:32:54,362
not just here on Earth,
598
00:32:54,464 --> 00:32:58,233
but even in space.
599
00:33:02,973 --> 00:33:06,775
They describe
seeing seven angelic beings
600
00:33:06,877 --> 00:33:08,643
traveling alongside their spacecraft.
601
00:33:08,745 --> 00:33:12,013
Whatever it was they were witnessing,
602
00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:13,014
it was real.
603
00:33:13,116 --> 00:33:13,982
It was out there.
604
00:33:21,217 --> 00:33:23,384
Salyut 7 space station.
605
00:33:23,486 --> 00:33:27,454
July 12, 1984.
606
00:33:27,556 --> 00:33:31,358
Cosmonauts Oleg Atkov,
607
00:33:31,460 --> 00:33:33,360
Leonid Kizim,
608
00:33:33,462 --> 00:33:35,663
and Vladimir Solovyov,
609
00:33:35,765 --> 00:33:41,468
enter the 156th day
of their 237-day stay
610
00:33:41,570 --> 00:33:44,471
aboard Russia's scientific
research space station.
611
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:50,511
To date, everything has gone
according to plan.
612
00:33:50,613 --> 00:33:52,246
But on this day,
613
00:33:52,348 --> 00:33:56,317
all three crewmembers
witness an extraordinary event.
614
00:33:59,088 --> 00:34:04,325
In 1984, Soviet cosmonauts
on board Salyut 7
615
00:34:04,427 --> 00:34:08,262
saw a strange orange glow
616
00:34:08,364 --> 00:34:11,165
around the spacecraft.
617
00:34:11,267 --> 00:34:16,370
And they saw what they thought,
at first, was maybe a gas leak.
618
00:34:16,472 --> 00:34:20,307
But it seemed that
the whole station was surrounded
619
00:34:20,409 --> 00:34:23,043
by this orange cloud.
620
00:34:23,145 --> 00:34:24,578
And as they looked at it,
621
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,949
the cloud coalesced into a shape.
622
00:34:32,321 --> 00:34:36,991
Suddenly, they are all
blinded by this orange light.
623
00:34:38,260 --> 00:34:39,593
When they regain their vision,
624
00:34:39,695 --> 00:34:42,296
they look out the portals
of the spacecraft
625
00:34:42,398 --> 00:34:46,166
and they're astonished by what they see.
626
00:34:46,268 --> 00:34:50,437
They describe seeing
seven angelic beings
627
00:34:50,539 --> 00:34:53,307
that are traveling
alongside their spacecraft,
628
00:34:53,409 --> 00:34:55,876
and did so for ten minutes.
629
00:34:59,849 --> 00:35:03,117
The men described
huge, winged creatures,
630
00:35:03,219 --> 00:35:05,419
as much as 80 feet tall,
631
00:35:05,521 --> 00:35:08,722
that appeared to have glowing halos.
632
00:35:08,824 --> 00:35:14,194
Officials dismissed the incident
as a group hallucination
633
00:35:14,296 --> 00:35:16,764
resulting from oxygen deprivation
634
00:35:16,866 --> 00:35:19,533
and pressure fluctuations.
635
00:35:19,635 --> 00:35:21,769
Later that summer,
636
00:35:21,871 --> 00:35:25,506
three more cosmonauts
joined the Salyut 7 crew.
637
00:35:25,608 --> 00:35:31,045
All six of them, once again,
saw these winged beings.
638
00:35:31,147 --> 00:35:32,746
But how could all of these cosmonauts
639
00:35:32,848 --> 00:35:35,549
share one hallucination?
640
00:35:39,755 --> 00:35:43,090
It seems to me that
this was not hallucination,
641
00:35:43,192 --> 00:35:45,826
that whatever it was
they were witnessing,
642
00:35:45,928 --> 00:35:47,561
it was real. It was out there.
643
00:35:48,631 --> 00:35:50,464
Now, angels?
644
00:35:50,566 --> 00:35:51,799
Aliens?
645
00:35:51,901 --> 00:35:53,500
I don't know, but, uh,
646
00:35:53,602 --> 00:35:56,670
when one looks at the recurrence
647
00:35:56,772 --> 00:36:00,474
of winged figures in human history,
648
00:36:00,576 --> 00:36:04,511
in terms of religion,
in terms of culture, mythology.
649
00:36:04,613 --> 00:36:07,748
Are we looking at something real?
650
00:36:07,850 --> 00:36:10,417
Are these angels that we see
651
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:13,220
actually extraterrestrial entities?
652
00:36:17,226 --> 00:36:18,692
Might the winged figures
653
00:36:18,794 --> 00:36:20,794
seen by the Salyut 7 crew,
654
00:36:20,896 --> 00:36:24,765
really have been extraterrestrials?
655
00:36:24,867 --> 00:36:27,935
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
656
00:36:28,037 --> 00:36:30,304
and suggest that similar sightings
657
00:36:30,406 --> 00:36:34,641
were secretly reported
by many Russian cosmonauts.
658
00:36:34,743 --> 00:36:38,011
Soviet cosmonauts
had a really interesting
659
00:36:38,114 --> 00:36:41,482
and challenging dilemma
when it came to truth telling.
660
00:36:41,584 --> 00:36:44,451
Because at the same time that
they were the public face
661
00:36:44,553 --> 00:36:46,487
of the Soviet space program,
662
00:36:46,589 --> 00:36:49,556
there was the always hidden goal
of the Soviet space program,
663
00:36:49,658 --> 00:36:51,024
which was to prove
664
00:36:51,127 --> 00:36:53,794
intercontinental ballistic
missile capability.
665
00:36:53,896 --> 00:36:57,131
So the cosmonauts were
publically to disguise
666
00:36:57,233 --> 00:36:59,399
those parts of the mission
that were secret
667
00:36:59,502 --> 00:37:01,468
and involved in national security,
668
00:37:01,570 --> 00:37:03,370
making it all that much more interesting
669
00:37:03,472 --> 00:37:06,340
when we try to assess what
they saw, when they talk about
670
00:37:06,442 --> 00:37:09,643
anomalous things that they
supposedly encountered in space.
671
00:37:09,745 --> 00:37:12,579
You have to understand
that many cosmonauts,
672
00:37:12,681 --> 00:37:16,750
even if they witnessed
something strange in space,
673
00:37:16,852 --> 00:37:22,923
were, um, highly reluctant
to openly talk about it,
674
00:37:23,025 --> 00:37:27,628
because of the concern
of being decommissioned
675
00:37:27,730 --> 00:37:29,763
for the reason of insanity.
676
00:37:29,865 --> 00:37:34,401
Indeed, some of the Soviet
and the Russian cosmonauts
677
00:37:34,503 --> 00:37:39,173
did have very strange experience
in space.
678
00:37:41,110 --> 00:37:42,676
Could strange encounters
679
00:37:42,778 --> 00:37:47,447
reported by Russian cosmonauts,
as well as military pilots,
680
00:37:47,550 --> 00:37:51,852
be connected to the artifacts
discovered in the Ural Mountains
681
00:37:51,954 --> 00:37:54,655
and the Dalnegorsk crash site?
682
00:37:54,757 --> 00:37:59,493
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer can be found
683
00:37:59,595 --> 00:38:02,763
by examining not just
what the Russian cosmonauts
684
00:38:02,865 --> 00:38:04,298
have seen in space...
685
00:38:06,068 --> 00:38:07,568
but what they've heard.
686
00:38:15,369 --> 00:38:17,102
Ever since Yuri Gagarin
687
00:38:17,205 --> 00:38:20,506
became the first man
to reach space in 1961,
688
00:38:20,608 --> 00:38:22,975
cosmonauts,
689
00:38:23,077 --> 00:38:25,845
along with other astronauts
from around the world,
690
00:38:25,947 --> 00:38:31,150
have had visions and experiences
in space that defy explanation.
691
00:38:31,252 --> 00:38:34,320
Perhaps the most curious
among these incidents
692
00:38:34,422 --> 00:38:37,790
is what has become known
as the "space whisper."
693
00:38:39,260 --> 00:38:41,493
There's an anonymous cosmonaut,
694
00:38:41,596 --> 00:38:44,029
I think he's simply known
as Cosmonaut X,
695
00:38:44,131 --> 00:38:47,800
who allegedly talked about
an experience that he
696
00:38:47,902 --> 00:38:50,836
and another cosmonaut had
while they were in orbit.
697
00:38:50,938 --> 00:38:54,473
What this anonymous cosmonaut said,
698
00:38:54,575 --> 00:38:58,611
he heard, something speaking
to him inside his mind.
699
00:39:02,216 --> 00:39:06,452
Both apparently
heard this same whispering
700
00:39:06,554 --> 00:39:11,523
inside their heads,
a kind of telepathic message.
701
00:39:11,626 --> 00:39:14,360
This cosmic whisper
702
00:39:14,462 --> 00:39:17,963
said that they were his ancestors
703
00:39:18,065 --> 00:39:20,099
from the very distant past.
704
00:39:20,201 --> 00:39:25,004
They told him things about
his own family in the Urals
705
00:39:25,106 --> 00:39:27,806
that no one would have known.
706
00:39:27,909 --> 00:39:32,444
And they also told him that
they should go back to Earth.
707
00:39:32,546 --> 00:39:38,517
That Russia was not ready for
what they were attempting to do.
708
00:39:38,619 --> 00:39:41,954
And, in a sense, go back home and,
709
00:39:42,056 --> 00:39:43,822
you know, prepare yourself.
710
00:39:43,925 --> 00:39:46,458
There were more than one cosmonaut.
711
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,360
Some of them knew not to report it
712
00:39:48,462 --> 00:39:50,696
because this would
eliminate their presence
713
00:39:50,798 --> 00:39:52,197
in the space program.
714
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:54,466
But they talked among each other
when they could
715
00:39:54,568 --> 00:39:56,635
and they found out
that it was more than one person
716
00:39:56,737 --> 00:40:00,739
and in different spaceships,
that had been subjected to this.
717
00:40:00,841 --> 00:40:04,310
How could so many Russian cosmonauts
718
00:40:04,412 --> 00:40:06,845
have heard the same mysterious whisper
719
00:40:06,948 --> 00:40:09,048
while traveling through space?
720
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:15,020
And just what was this celestial
voice trying to communicate?
721
00:40:15,122 --> 00:40:19,858
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe it is another example
722
00:40:19,961 --> 00:40:21,860
of extraterrestrial activity
723
00:40:21,963 --> 00:40:26,565
that is only now being disclosed.
724
00:40:26,667 --> 00:40:28,968
With all of the
massive secrecy in Russia
725
00:40:29,070 --> 00:40:31,537
and all of the things
we're just learning,
726
00:40:31,639 --> 00:40:34,673
it would seem to only be
the tip of the iceberg
727
00:40:34,775 --> 00:40:38,544
of the many visitations
of extraterrestrials
728
00:40:38,646 --> 00:40:41,580
that have been occurring
all over the world.
729
00:40:43,284 --> 00:40:45,150
There is a great wealth of information
730
00:40:45,252 --> 00:40:46,919
in the former Soviet Union.
731
00:40:47,021 --> 00:40:49,922
And when people in the west
find out more and more
732
00:40:50,024 --> 00:40:56,261
about events and observations
over Russia, they become amazed.
733
00:40:57,631 --> 00:40:59,098
If we were to get access
734
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,667
to some of the Russian files
on extraterrestrials,
735
00:41:01,769 --> 00:41:06,071
it could answer some of
the questions that we have,
736
00:41:06,173 --> 00:41:08,474
because what if some of those stories
737
00:41:08,576 --> 00:41:12,211
corroborate the ones
that we're familiar with?
738
00:41:12,313 --> 00:41:15,314
Because then,
it could only mean one thing:
739
00:41:15,416 --> 00:41:18,717
we've all been visited
by the same visitors.
740
00:41:22,089 --> 00:41:23,455
Does the ultimate proof
741
00:41:23,557 --> 00:41:25,958
that extraterrestrials
have visited Earth
742
00:41:26,060 --> 00:41:28,560
exist within Russia?
743
00:41:28,662 --> 00:41:32,798
Could such information
have been purposely covered up?
744
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:35,034
And if so,
745
00:41:35,136 --> 00:41:37,102
might the most compelling evidence
746
00:41:37,204 --> 00:41:40,339
still be under lock and key?
747
00:41:40,441 --> 00:41:44,610
Perhaps as more of Russia's
secret files are revealed,
748
00:41:44,712 --> 00:41:48,480
we will discover that hidden
within these vast archives,
749
00:41:48,582 --> 00:41:53,452
lies the truth about our alien origins.
750
00:41:54,305 --> 00:42:00,483
