twice the size of texas.

There are dangerous
unpredictable forces

at work here.

Narrator: In one of the most

A lot of things can kill you
out here without even trying.

Narrator: This is a place

In the last 30 years,

16,000 people have disappeared

acres of designated wilderness,

much of it totally unexplored.

And there are species of animals
here unknown to man.

Could one of these be bigfoot?

Because of its remoteness,
there could be more bigfoot

in the triangle

Perhaps this is the reason
why people are disappearing.

Narrator: One man,
who's on a lifetime journey

Most of his work has been
in the lower 48 states.

But now his hunt
has drawn him north.

Cliff has come hundreds of miles
off the main road network

to one of alaska's
most remote areas.

Alaska is truly america's
last frontier.

This is one of the most
wild regions anywhere on earth.

Anything could be
hiding out here of any size.

Narrator: It's around alaska's
biggest lake, iliamna,

that there have been some of
the best bigfoot sightings.

Now cliff is heading
into the wild woods

on the southern shores
of the lake,

around the village of kokhanok.

I've been tipped off
that a number of people

have been seeing a sasquatch
in the local area.

And I wanted to come out
and check out

what's going on for myself.

Narrator: Cliff's aim is to get
scientific proof

that bigfoot exists,

and evidence that
the alaska triangle is its home.

For the locals,
they don't need this proof.

They say they know
that bigfoot exists

because they've seen them.

Since the early 1900's,

there have been frequent
recordings of bigfoot

sighted in alaska.

And this is despite the fact

♪♪

Down in tulsa, oklahoma,

dr. Lance hightower is
a renowned bigfoot researcher.

♪♪

Bigfoot is a very large type
of creature.

Some people would say it looks
like an ape in the face.

Males, typically will range
anywhere from 8 feet,

and we have heard as high
as 12 feet in height

with a shoulder width of 4
to 4 1/2 feet,

as well as 3 feet thick.

So you're talking a creature
that is massive.

They're very, very elusive.

This is what makes it
so challenging and difficult

for people
to really prove that they exist

because they're so elusive,
so evasive,

so hard to catch one
on footage, on picture.

Narrator: But the best chance
could be in the alaska triangle.

With so much ready game,
bigfoot may even be bigger here.

Lance: Everything is larger
in alaska.

Why not bigfoot?

The food sources for something
as large as a bigfoot,

deer, caribou, moose,
is abundant.

Narrator: Most bigfoot sightings
put the creature at about 7 or 8 feet.

The one that sarah and ray saw
was certainly bigger than that.

We could tell that it was at
least 9, 10 feet.

And then, bam.

Just like that, it was gone.

♪♪

Wow! What to say, you know?

We know we seen a bigfoot.

It's shocking to see something
like that.

And even more shocking when
it just disappears that fast.

How can you explain
something like that?

Narrator: Whatever it was,

one way you don't explain it
is by saying it was a bear.

Cliff: Kokhanok is in
a very wild area.

And the people who live here
live amongst bears.

There is almost no chance
whatsoever

that they would be confusing a
standing bear with a sasquatch.

Bears have snouts,
they have ears,

they lack the large shoulders,

and they habitually move about
on four legs.

While sasquatches
have a flat face,

a conical head, wide shoulders,

and usually walk around
on two legs.

To think that these people
who live here 365 days a year

would be silly enough to mistake
a bear for a sasquatch,

well, that's not giving
the local people credit.

Narrator: And there are now
those in the scientific community

who are convinced
that bigfoot is out there.

Dr. Robert alley is a retired
professor

of anatomy and physiology
from the university of alaska.

For him, bigfoot, or sasquatch,
is real.

It's just a matter
of what it is.

Bigfoot and sasquatches
represent the classic hominid

mixing of genes.

Just as you and I have
neanderthal genes,

sasquatches have
a combination of,

maybe, java man,
giant homo erectus genes,

mixed with more modern
human genes,

and maybe even
older human genes.

You might say java man
on steroids with a fur coat.

Narrator: The long extinct java
man was big, about 8 feet tall

and twice the overall size
of a gorilla.

And in his years of research,
dr. Alley has found that

this furry, java man bigfoot
is dangerous and calculating.

Robert: Perhaps most significantly,
they're accredited

with the abduction of children,
abduction of women,

even occasionally,
abduction of men.

Narrator: Human abduction,
if true,

this would mean the mystery

of all the missing people
of the triangle could be,

at least in part,
down to bigfoot.

But bigfoot hunter
cliff barackman

is still keen to come
face-to-face with one.

Narrator:
In the alaska triangle,

of the bermuda triangle
in the tropics,

where planes and people
have gone missing.

Within this triangle is
200,000 square miles,

much of which has never been
explored by any man,

so who's to say what mysteries
still lie within this triangle.

And they weren't considered
mythology for the native people,

they were just considered
a fact of life.

You respect them,
you don't mess with them

because they're powerful.

You don't enter their territory.

Narrator: The traditional
description of the creature

is also a perfect match

Qituvituaq: Bigfoot are probably
about as wide as I am tall.

Narrator: Judging by the size
of his detector,

these footprints are between
16 and 18 inches long.

Keith: And then I noticed
the stride.

The stride was a lot farther

than what a normal
human being could walk.

So I tried to take
the stride myself,

and I was still coming up
a foot or 2 short.

I mean, I would have had
to have jumped

to almost make that distance.

So that's why I started video
taping,

Qituvituaq: Bigfoot are so mysterious,

They know how to shift
in and out of this reality.

They know how to change
their energy

of the wonders of our planet,

A thousand miles
south of the arctic circle

lies the city
of vancouver, canada.

More people live in this
one city

than in the whole of alaska.

And it's from here that
journalist and researcher

jonny enoch

has been looking into
some important historical work

that could have a bearing
on the search

for unusual forces in alaska.

Jonny: In 1972, author and
biologist ivan sanderson

documented 12 places
on the planet

where there was bizarre weather,
strange occurrences,

vanishing people, and disturbing
paranormal occurrences.

Narrator: Sanderson called
these areas, vile vortices,

where it's thought that an
extreme electromagnetic force,

the force that holds
atoms together,

can have an effect on the very
fabric of space and time.

The most famous of these
vortices, the bermuda triangle.

Jonny: A vortex can transform
everyday situations

into otherworldly events.

If there was a vortex above
the bermuda triangle,

that would explain everything.

Narrator: A vortex that contorted
space and time into a wormhole,

would mean boats
and planes could disappear.

If there was any evidence
of this in the bermuda triangle,

then it could explain
the alaska triangle, too.

Now, some firsthand evidence
of a vortex has come to light,

down in miami, florida.

Vortices definitely existing
because I've been through it.

Narrator: In 1970,
pilot bruce gearnin,

was flying
in the bermuda triangle,

from the small island of bimini,
in the bahamas, to miami.

Shortly after takeoff,
he found himself

traveling through
a strange tunnel in the clouds.

When he came out the other end,
there was miami below him.

His instruments showed
that he'd traveled 100 miles

in under 3 minutes.

The tunnel was like a wormhole.

When you enter it, you come out
in a different place and time.

It was almost like
being teleported.

One night,
I was watching television

and ivan sanderson came on.

He was explaining time warps.

And it was right at that point
that I realized

that was the key to the mystery
that I had just witnessed.

Narrator: So what would
make alaska

prime territory for time warps?

One theory points
to its abundance

of extreme
electromagnetic force fields.

Mike ricksecker is
a paranormal investigator

with a particular interest
in electromagnetism.

In 1964, there was
a massive earthquake

that hit the anchorage area,
a 9.2 magnitude.

Absolutely devastating.

Buildings were toppled.

Streets were upended.

It created a lot of destruction
around this area.

We know that
electromagnetic activity

helped to cause this earthquake.

Narrator: An increase
in electromagnetic readings

have been reported
before major earthquakes.

Scientists are yet
to understand the reason.

And the '64 quake was
the biggest earthquake

ever recorded in north america.

The second biggest ever in
the whole world,

the epicenter ==
prince william sound,

on alaska's southern coast.

In fact, alaska averages
100 minor quakes every day.

That's more earthquakes than all
the other states combined.

Alaska, in general,
is a very volatile area.

When I first showed up in '92,

there was ash still falling
from the sky

from volcanoes
that are in the area.

Narrator: There's one sure way
mike knows

how to detect any unusual
electromagnetic activity.

So, we're up here in
the mountains of alaska.

We have some dowsing
rods with us.

What I'm gonna try to do here,

is walk around a little bit,
see if we start to feel

a little bit of something
going on,

then I'll go ahead and stop

and see
if the activity keeps going.

Narrator: If the rods move,

it would be the sign of
unusual electromagnetic energy.

And this knowledge goes back
a long way.

Since ancient times,
it's been known that our planet

is covered with geomagnetic
anomalies and vortices.

We know the ancient peoples
saw the movement of energy

on the planet as a serpent.

So that's why every one of these
ancient cultures

is based around
a serpent mythology.

triangle, you have to understand

that there's
an energy grid on our planet.

Now, these have been
traditionally called ley lines,

but to the ancient peoples,

they called this
the serpentine energies.

Narrator:
It's these same energies

that mike is trying to detect
in the alaska triangle.

♪♪

So, we're getting a little push
from the left side there.

If we move away,
and that goes back out,

then that will let us know
that the activity, the energy,

was centralized back there.
And we can already see

it starting
to move out a little bit.

Yeah, see.
It's moved back out.

As we come back,
see, it's going...

It's moving back
as we move back into this area.

Yeah.
So this is a hot spot here.

♪♪

So, as we come down
the mountainside here,

we see that the left rod
has moved inward

and it's maintaining that.

So what I would say is that up
and down here,

there is some sort of line
of electromagnetic activity

running up and down
the mountainside here.

So it's not running across,
but up and down.

Narrator: The line that mike
has found heads due north

towards the north pole,
just over 1,000 miles away.

The intense electromagnetism
of the north pole

feeds into the triangle.

If there is a vortex here,
it could be many times

more powerful
than even the bermuda triangle,

and the force behind thousands
of disappearances.

♪♪

♪♪

Narrator:
In the alaska triangle,

electromagnetic forces spread
and converge like nowhere else.

Alaska is near the north pole,

where the magnetic fields
get thinner here.

And because of that,
when solar storms hit,

it lights up the atmosphere

because we don't have
the magnetic protection

of the electromagnetic field.

♪♪

Narrator: The native population
believes this electromagnetic energy

can have dangerous,
spiritual properties.

Qituvituaq: The unusual
electromagnetic energy makes it

so we have supercharged areas

that could allow
interdimensional travel

or portals to be opened
from other realms.

Narrator: If this were true,

then these portals
could go a long way

to explaining the mystery
of the alaska triangle.

I think a lot of people who go
missing, hikers and adventurers,

or people going out
in the country,

can accidentally come across
these areas

and vanish
off the face of the earth.

♪♪

Narrator: Strange things
do happen.

Bruce gearnin did have a bizarre
experience of some kind.

And conditions are more extreme
in alaska.

So, there seems to be
a definite relationship

with being so close
to the north pole,

and maybe the magnetic energy
changes this vortex.

Instead of being horizontal,
perhaps it is vertical.

So the one I flew through,
when I came out the other end,

I went forward
in space and time.

But in alaska,
if you enter into it,

maybe you go right down
into the earth and vanish.

♪♪

Narrator: We don't have the tools
yet to find these possible portals.

For now, researchers need
to rely on cruder devices

to understand
the forces at work in alaska.

Mike is using an
electromagnetic field detector.

We're gonna walk in this
general direction,

kind of the same as we did
with the rods,

and see if we can get any
indications off of this meter.

Narrator: The detector shows
mike the level of milliwatts

per square meter,

the power of the electricity
in the air.

Mike: And there's a general
electric field

that keeps reading
at about a 0.1, 0.2 right now,

so a pretty low level.

♪♪

Here, it's a little higher
on the electric field.

It's between a 0.2 and a 0.3.

♪♪

We're getting
some variations here

that we shouldn't be getting.

Which does give us an indication

that there's a little bit
something more going on here.

Could it be an indicator
that the alaska triangle

is having an effect here?

Narrator: As well as leading to vortices,
there are those who believe

that this effect has attracted
visitors from far away.

Mike: There have been a lot
of extraterrestrial sightings

in alaska.
A lot of reports.

A lot of photography.
A lot of video footage.

And it makes a lot of sense
that there would.

You have the electromagnetic
activity from the vortices

that they could be tapping into.

I believe the immense power
of the alaska triangle

is used like a superhighway
by extraterrestrials

looking to open up portals
and connect

to other places in the universe.

Narrator: Perhaps one day
we'll have the technology needed

to discover portals
and explore them,

as well as other forces
that could be at play here.

♪♪

Theories persist,

but for now, the secrets
of the alaska triangle

remain just that.

And the tales that have emerged
from this vast, mysterious area

suggest there may be something
else out there

that we are only just beginning
to contemplate.
