I'm gonna tell you something, honey. 41 00:02:14,917 --> 00:02:17,180 I don't know what the hell it is. 42 00:02:17,224 --> 00:02:20,227 Usually, UFOs just appear 43 00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:24,535 to a small number of people, and they disappear. 44 00:02:24,579 --> 00:02:25,928 In this case, 45 00:02:25,971 --> 00:02:28,104 people were stopped on the highways. 46 00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:30,411 People were running out of their houses 47 00:02:30,454 --> 00:02:32,978 watching this enormous object pass over 48 00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:35,938 the size of a football field. 49 00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:40,943 The sightings continued 50 00:02:40,986 --> 00:02:43,946 for more than six years 51 00:02:43,989 --> 00:02:47,863 and became the most widely reported in American history. 52 00:02:47,906 --> 00:02:50,213 The Hudson Valley UFO sightings 53 00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:53,477 continued well up to 1988. 54 00:02:53,521 --> 00:02:55,218 It's estimated 55 00:02:55,262 --> 00:02:58,569 that as many as 5,000 people called in 56 00:02:58,613 --> 00:03:00,528 and made reports 57 00:03:00,571 --> 00:03:05,707 of this very large, lit up UFO. 58 00:03:06,882 --> 00:03:10,538 But why were so many UFO encounters reported 59 00:03:10,581 --> 00:03:13,497 in this one particular area? 60 00:03:13,541 --> 00:03:15,282 There are six, 61 00:03:15,325 --> 00:03:18,546 and the lead one has his three lights on. 62 00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:21,897 Everybody else only has two. 63 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:24,029 Some have suggested the reason 64 00:03:24,073 --> 00:03:27,119 why these sightings have happened at the Hudson Valley 65 00:03:27,163 --> 00:03:31,341 is because they are on top of a vortex. 66 00:03:31,385 --> 00:03:33,169 Now, what's a vortex? 67 00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:36,041 Well, there are varying opinions of what that is. 68 00:03:36,085 --> 00:03:38,087 Some have suggested that they are 69 00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:39,480 magnetic points 70 00:03:39,523 --> 00:03:43,397 that are part of the Earth's magnetic grid. 71 00:03:44,528 --> 00:03:45,877 They also represent 72 00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:49,141 the combination of Earth energies 73 00:03:49,185 --> 00:03:51,100 kind of congregating into one spot, 74 00:03:51,143 --> 00:03:52,884 these telluric currents 75 00:03:52,928 --> 00:03:54,321 and these magnetic Earth currents. 76 00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:57,280 And, so, one suggestion is that they create 77 00:03:57,324 --> 00:03:59,456 portal-type effects or vortexes. 78 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,112 Entrances into the otherworld. 79 00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:05,854 Could the Hudson Valley UFO sightings 80 00:04:05,897 --> 00:04:08,900 be evidence of a hidden power vortex 81 00:04:08,944 --> 00:04:12,948 and even a portal through time and space? 82 00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:15,646 You have places around the world 83 00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:18,301 that are known for their vortexes. 84 00:04:18,345 --> 00:04:22,479 Stonehenge is said to have a vortex. 85 00:04:22,523 --> 00:04:25,613 Sedona, Arizona has a number of vortexes, 86 00:04:25,656 --> 00:04:28,050 and it's famous for them. 87 00:04:28,093 --> 00:04:29,921 And, so, it's thought that the Hudson Valley 88 00:04:29,965 --> 00:04:32,924 is also a vortex area. 89 00:04:32,968 --> 00:04:36,101 So, you have to wonder there if these UFOs 90 00:04:36,145 --> 00:04:39,235 have been attracted to the Hudson Valley. 91 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,368 And still to this day, no one has come up 92 00:04:41,411 --> 00:04:44,022 with a-a good explanation of what was happening 93 00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:46,068 in the Hudson Valley during this time. 94 00:04:46,111 --> 00:04:48,853 They're heading north-northwest. 95 00:04:48,897 --> 00:04:51,291 Holy good God. 96 00:04:53,815 --> 00:04:57,558 Just 150 miles east of the Hudson Valley, 97 00:04:57,601 --> 00:05:01,997 another extraordinary encounter took place in 1961. 98 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,086 And what makes it so unique 99 00:05:04,129 --> 00:05:06,784 is that it is the first documented report 100 00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:08,830 of an alien abduction. 101 00:05:08,873 --> 00:05:12,834 My number nine alien encounter: 102 00:05:12,877 --> 00:05:15,663 The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. 103 00:05:20,798 --> 00:05:22,278 Lancaster, New Hampshire. 104 00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:26,500 September 19, 1961. 105 00:05:27,631 --> 00:05:31,461 Betty and Barney Hill are driving late at night 106 00:05:31,505 --> 00:05:33,550 when a large flying saucer intercepts them 107 00:05:33,594 --> 00:05:36,336 and hovers over their car. 108 00:05:36,379 --> 00:05:39,513 Above them, the Hills observe otherworldly figures 109 00:05:39,556 --> 00:05:42,690 in the windows of the craft. 110 00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:45,954 Days later, the couple reports missing time, 111 00:05:45,997 --> 00:05:49,174 and after participating in hypnotic regression, 112 00:05:49,218 --> 00:05:50,828 they claim to realize 113 00:05:50,872 --> 00:05:54,789 that they were abducted by extraterrestrials. 114 00:05:54,832 --> 00:05:57,400 Under hypnotic regression... 115 00:05:57,444 --> 00:05:59,359 Separately, by the way, 116 00:05:59,402 --> 00:06:01,970 so they each wouldn't contaminate the other's story... 117 00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:06,017 Betty and Barney told the exact same story. 118 00:06:06,061 --> 00:06:09,281 The object hovered over the car, then landed in front of them, 119 00:06:09,325 --> 00:06:10,563 and they were yanked out of the car 120 00:06:10,587 --> 00:06:12,981 by these small four-and-a-half-foot beings 121 00:06:13,024 --> 00:06:16,245 and dragged into a clearing, where they boarded a spaceship. 122 00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,814 Betty pleaded with her captors, 123 00:06:19,857 --> 00:06:21,685 if you will, that... 124 00:06:21,729 --> 00:06:25,385 not to harm her, uh, as she laid on this table 125 00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:28,170 and experiments were done on her, 126 00:06:28,213 --> 00:06:32,783 like a needle being inserted into her stomach. 127 00:06:32,827 --> 00:06:35,438 Barney relates a number of skin samples 128 00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:37,919 and sperm being taken from him. 129 00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:40,530 The beings described 130 00:06:40,574 --> 00:06:41,749 by Betty and Barney Hill 131 00:06:41,792 --> 00:06:44,447 fit the classic case of a Grey. 132 00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:46,101 Now, there are variations to size 133 00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:47,842 and dimensions of these beings, 134 00:06:47,885 --> 00:06:50,061 but they all seem to have the same characteristics. 135 00:06:50,105 --> 00:06:52,107 Slim, spindly bodies. 136 00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:54,239 Large oval heads. 137 00:06:54,283 --> 00:06:56,590 Large oversized eyes. 138 00:06:58,983 --> 00:07:01,551 In the years since their reported abduction, 139 00:07:01,595 --> 00:07:03,553 Betty and Barney Hill's encounter 140 00:07:03,597 --> 00:07:05,555 has become legendary. 141 00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:09,341 But what was not well-known was that Betty and Barney Hill 142 00:07:09,385 --> 00:07:11,518 were not the only members of their family 143 00:07:11,561 --> 00:07:13,694 who have been abducted. 144 00:07:13,737 --> 00:07:17,524 Betty Hill was my aunt, my mother's sister. 145 00:07:17,567 --> 00:07:21,397 Something that we have never revealed before 146 00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:26,620 is that my mother had a close encounter in 1958. 147 00:07:26,663 --> 00:07:30,450 She saw this huge cigar-shaped craft 148 00:07:30,493 --> 00:07:33,540 hovering over a field. 149 00:07:33,583 --> 00:07:37,239 She had no explanation for what had happened 150 00:07:37,282 --> 00:07:38,588 as far as she knew. 151 00:07:38,632 --> 00:07:42,244 She had gone shopping, and she had driven home. 152 00:07:42,287 --> 00:07:46,117 My mother eventually underwent hypnosis, 153 00:07:46,161 --> 00:07:48,598 and through hypnosis, 154 00:07:48,642 --> 00:07:51,601 she recalled having been abducted, 155 00:07:51,645 --> 00:07:53,342 as well. 156 00:07:53,385 --> 00:07:56,650 And I also had this uncanny 157 00:07:56,693 --> 00:07:58,869 sort of dreamlike experience 158 00:07:58,913 --> 00:08:02,133 of being taken to a craft. 159 00:08:03,265 --> 00:08:06,964 It appears that this is generational in my family. 160 00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:08,836 My Aunt Betty was taken, 161 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,707 my mother was taken, 162 00:08:10,751 --> 00:08:14,624 and there's a good chance that I have been taken, as well. 163 00:08:16,757 --> 00:08:18,323 Could it be 164 00:08:18,367 --> 00:08:20,848 that extraterrestrial beings are abducting 165 00:08:20,891 --> 00:08:22,502 not only individuals 166 00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,199 but also families? 167 00:08:24,242 --> 00:08:27,463 And if so, why? 168 00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:30,988 It seems that specific bloodlines 169 00:08:31,032 --> 00:08:32,599 are involved here. 170 00:08:32,642 --> 00:08:34,557 And if that's the case, 171 00:08:34,601 --> 00:08:37,908 it raises the intriguing possibility 172 00:08:37,952 --> 00:08:41,521 that the extraterrestrials are interested in human biology, 173 00:08:41,564 --> 00:08:45,394 that they are monitoring specific genetic lines 174 00:08:45,437 --> 00:08:47,352 for some purpose. 175 00:08:50,355 --> 00:08:53,402 One of the most important factors I consider 176 00:08:53,445 --> 00:08:56,405 when it comes to evaluating a UFO encounter 177 00:08:56,448 --> 00:08:59,582 is how credible is the witness? 178 00:08:59,626 --> 00:09:03,630 And to me, there is no better expert than a pilot 179 00:09:03,673 --> 00:09:06,502 when it comes to reporting on a flying craft. 180 00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:10,941 The next encounter on my list took place in 1947 181 00:09:10,985 --> 00:09:14,379 and helped launch the modern UFO era. 182 00:09:15,598 --> 00:09:19,428 The Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting. 183 00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:25,782 Washington state. 184 00:09:25,826 --> 00:09:30,482 June 24, 1947. 185 00:09:30,526 --> 00:09:33,616 Aviator and businessman Kenneth Arnold 186 00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,576 is piloting a private plane near Mount Rainier 187 00:09:36,619 --> 00:09:39,883 when he suddenly spots nine fast-moving objects 188 00:09:39,927 --> 00:09:42,103 flying in tandem. 189 00:09:42,146 --> 00:09:43,887 As he was flying around the mountain, 190 00:09:43,931 --> 00:09:45,149 he suddenly caught sight 191 00:09:45,193 --> 00:09:48,196 of a squadron of strange-looking objects. 192 00:09:48,239 --> 00:09:50,590 He could not figure out what they were. 193 00:09:51,678 --> 00:09:53,854 He was able to measure 194 00:09:53,897 --> 00:09:56,552 the speed that they were going at by... 195 00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,356 'cause he knew the distance between two particular peaks 196 00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:00,512 which were about 15 miles apart. 197 00:10:00,556 --> 00:10:03,864 And he timed the passage of these objects by the peaks 198 00:10:03,907 --> 00:10:05,996 and came to something like 1,200 miles per hour, 199 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,043 which, in 1947, was just not done at all, 200 00:10:09,086 --> 00:10:11,436 anywhere close to that. 201 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,613 He later described the objects 202 00:10:13,656 --> 00:10:15,658 as being somewhat delta-shaped 203 00:10:15,702 --> 00:10:18,139 and flying as if you were to skip a saucer 204 00:10:18,182 --> 00:10:20,924 across a body of water. 205 00:10:20,968 --> 00:10:23,100 And this gave rise to the term 206 00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:25,799 "flying saucer." 207 00:10:25,842 --> 00:10:27,583 The U.S. Air Force 208 00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:30,368 formally categorized Kenneth Arnold's experience 209 00:10:30,412 --> 00:10:33,110 as a mirage, but it emboldened 210 00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:34,677 others to come forward 211 00:10:34,721 --> 00:10:37,114 with their own unexplainable encounters, 212 00:10:37,158 --> 00:10:41,118 and a flurry of UFO reports quickly followed. 213 00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:46,341 When you look at the year 1947, the statistics are 214 00:10:46,384 --> 00:10:48,648 that there were at least 800 reports 215 00:10:48,691 --> 00:10:51,346 to police and airports 216 00:10:51,389 --> 00:10:54,088 of people saying that they were seeing something in the sky 217 00:10:54,131 --> 00:10:55,698 and they didn't know what it was. 218 00:10:55,742 --> 00:10:57,526 It was actually required that all officers 219 00:10:57,569 --> 00:10:59,223 fill out a form if they saw anything 220 00:10:59,267 --> 00:11:01,661 that might be regarded as a UFO or a flying saucer. 221 00:11:01,704 --> 00:11:04,664 And in addition to that, they were told not to discuss 222 00:11:04,707 --> 00:11:06,622 their sighting or what was on their report 223 00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:08,755 with anyone. 224 00:11:08,798 --> 00:11:11,148 Kenneth Arnold's encounter 225 00:11:11,192 --> 00:11:15,109 marked the beginning of the modern UFO era, 226 00:11:15,152 --> 00:11:17,459 but there are also those who believe it gave rise 227 00:11:17,502 --> 00:11:19,679 to a massive government cover-up. 228 00:11:20,636 --> 00:11:24,553 We became aware in the '40s... 229 00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:28,470 of these extraterrestrial biological entities 230 00:11:28,513 --> 00:11:31,125 and that the government's been trying to hide it 231 00:11:31,168 --> 00:11:33,388 for all of these decades... 232 00:11:34,476 --> 00:11:37,609 and that the same question of intent 233 00:11:37,653 --> 00:11:39,089 and agenda 234 00:11:39,133 --> 00:11:41,701 and exactly who from where and why 235 00:11:41,744 --> 00:11:44,573 are the same questions today. 236 00:11:50,057 --> 00:11:53,451 On October 13, 1917, A huge crowd gathered, 237 00:11:53,495 --> 00:11:56,193 over 30,000 people in a small town in Portugal 238 00:11:56,237 --> 00:11:58,630 witnessed an incredible event 239 00:11:58,674 --> 00:12:01,068 that the Catholic Church declared to be 240 00:12:01,111 --> 00:12:03,635 of supernatural character. 241 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,247 At the center of the event were three children 242 00:12:06,290 --> 00:12:09,990 who, for months, had reported receiving messages 243 00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:13,080 from a lady in the sky. 244 00:12:14,298 --> 00:12:18,346 Number seven on my countdown of the top alien encounters 245 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:22,437 is the Miracle of the Sun at Fátima. 246 00:12:28,573 --> 00:12:30,184 Fátima, Portugal. 247 00:12:30,227 --> 00:12:33,187 May 1917. 248 00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:36,277 Three young children walking through a sheep pasture 249 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,235 are stopped in their tracks 250 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:41,108 by what appears to be a glowing angel. 251 00:12:42,892 --> 00:12:44,938 As the figure begins to speak, 252 00:12:44,981 --> 00:12:48,158 they believe she is the holy Virgin Mary 253 00:12:48,202 --> 00:12:52,510 sent to deliver a very important message. 254 00:12:52,554 --> 00:12:55,078 These three children 255 00:12:55,122 --> 00:12:59,387 claimed that they were visited by the Virgin Mary, 256 00:12:59,430 --> 00:13:01,302 who appeared to them in the sky 257 00:13:01,345 --> 00:13:04,740 and told them that she had 258 00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:07,264 certain prophecies for them 259 00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:09,789 and that over the next six months, 260 00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:13,140 she would return to them and give them 261 00:13:13,183 --> 00:13:14,228 these prophecies. 262 00:13:14,271 --> 00:13:17,405 And so on the-the 13th of each month, 263 00:13:17,448 --> 00:13:19,494 these three children 264 00:13:19,537 --> 00:13:22,584 would gather on this hillside in Fátima, 265 00:13:22,627 --> 00:13:25,152 and, according to them, the Virgin Mary 266 00:13:25,195 --> 00:13:28,938 would appear to them and tell them these stories. 267 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,030 During one of these visits, 268 00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:36,903 the children claimed that the apparition told them 269 00:13:36,946 --> 00:13:38,948 she would return to perform a miracle 270 00:13:38,992 --> 00:13:42,125 on October 13th. 271 00:13:42,169 --> 00:13:44,736 They reported the encounter to the local Catholic bishop, 272 00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:48,479 and on October 13, 1917, 273 00:13:48,523 --> 00:13:52,744 over 30,000 people gathered to witness the event. 274 00:13:52,788 --> 00:13:54,964 A huge crowd gathered, 275 00:13:55,008 --> 00:13:59,055 and they said that they witnessed, 276 00:13:59,099 --> 00:14:02,580 uh, the Sun moving in the sky. 277 00:14:02,624 --> 00:14:05,366 They saw the Sun spinning like a disk 278 00:14:05,409 --> 00:14:07,368 and then coming down to the planet Earth, 279 00:14:07,411 --> 00:14:09,065 and people got very frightened. 280 00:14:09,109 --> 00:14:11,111 The incident 281 00:14:11,154 --> 00:14:13,940 was labeled an event of supernatural character 282 00:14:13,983 --> 00:14:16,681 by the Catholic Church. 283 00:14:16,725 --> 00:14:19,336 But as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 284 00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:23,863 it was a very different type of otherworldly encounter. 285 00:14:25,081 --> 00:14:27,867 This whole event took place for eight minutes, 286 00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:30,043 not eight seconds. 287 00:14:30,086 --> 00:14:32,306 They had time to look it. 288 00:14:32,349 --> 00:14:34,134 It was not the Sun. 289 00:14:34,177 --> 00:14:36,614 It was a UFO because it turned, 290 00:14:36,658 --> 00:14:39,400 it changed its color all the time. 291 00:14:39,443 --> 00:14:42,925 This object appeared in the sky in front of the Sun, I believe. 292 00:14:42,969 --> 00:14:44,492 I read all the reports. 293 00:14:44,535 --> 00:14:47,843 And colors of light spread out 294 00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:50,846 from the object to the ground. 295 00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:54,110 To me, it indicates contact 296 00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:56,896 with an extraterrestrial intelligence. 297 00:14:59,376 --> 00:15:01,988 Encounters reported by a group of people 298 00:15:02,031 --> 00:15:05,165 can make strange sightings hard to deny. 299 00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:07,994 And when a UFO sighting is reported 300 00:15:08,037 --> 00:15:11,911 by thousands of residents of a major metropolitan city, 301 00:15:11,954 --> 00:15:13,390 in my opinion, 302 00:15:13,434 --> 00:15:16,132 that's about as undeniable as it gets. 303 00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:21,355 The number six alien encounter on my top ten countdown: 304 00:15:21,398 --> 00:15:23,618 The Phoenix Lights. 305 00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:31,800 Henderson, Nevada. 306 00:15:31,843 --> 00:15:35,238 March 13, 1997. 307 00:15:35,282 --> 00:15:37,371 At 6:55 p.m., 308 00:15:37,414 --> 00:15:39,547 local police receive a report 309 00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:42,767 of a massive V-shaped object traveling southeast 310 00:15:42,811 --> 00:15:44,987 across the night sky. 311 00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:46,815 Over the next three hours, 312 00:15:46,858 --> 00:15:49,818 the craft is witnessed by thousands of people 313 00:15:49,861 --> 00:15:51,994 as it journeys down through Arizona 314 00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:54,388 and into Sonora, Mexico. 315 00:15:54,431 --> 00:15:57,391 With most of the reports coming from Phoenix 316 00:15:57,434 --> 00:16:00,394 as well as photographs and video footage, 317 00:16:00,437 --> 00:16:04,441 the incident becomes known as the Phoenix Lights. 318 00:16:04,485 --> 00:16:06,966 The entire city of Phoenix was able to see 319 00:16:07,009 --> 00:16:10,056 this half-a-mile-long display of lights over the city 320 00:16:10,099 --> 00:16:12,145 in a very, very distinctive pattern. 321 00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:14,974 It was a triangularish-shaped object 322 00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,715 seen very reliably 323 00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:20,153 by quite a large number of witnesses. 324 00:16:20,196 --> 00:16:23,112 Who's our best witness to that? 325 00:16:23,156 --> 00:16:25,158 The best one? 326 00:16:25,201 --> 00:16:28,552 Governor Fife Symington of Arizona. 327 00:16:28,596 --> 00:16:31,468 As a pilot and a former Air Force officer, 328 00:16:31,512 --> 00:16:35,037 I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble 329 00:16:35,081 --> 00:16:37,126 any man-made object that I'd ever seen. 330 00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:39,172 He says, "Yeah, I really did see the UFO." 331 00:16:39,215 --> 00:16:41,609 And he describes it. He actually was 332 00:16:41,652 --> 00:16:44,264 maybe a hundred feet away from that flying triangle 333 00:16:44,307 --> 00:16:47,136 and could see through it and the stars above. 334 00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:50,052 Governor Symington was a qualified pilot 335 00:16:50,096 --> 00:16:52,185 and in the Air Force Reserve, as well. 336 00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:54,317 I think he knew what he was seeing. 337 00:16:54,361 --> 00:16:56,319 But some of these other witnesses said, 338 00:16:56,363 --> 00:16:58,123 "Yeah, I could've almost thrown a baseball and hit it, 339 00:16:58,147 --> 00:17:00,671 it was that low over the... over our heads." 340 00:17:00,715 --> 00:17:02,412 The governor of Arizona 341 00:17:02,456 --> 00:17:05,067 described a strange, triangular UFO 342 00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,113 that appeared translucent, 343 00:17:07,156 --> 00:17:11,117 camouflaging itself amidst the star field above. 344 00:17:12,335 --> 00:17:15,208 They were seen by hundreds of people. 345 00:17:15,251 --> 00:17:18,472 But when they looked between the lights, 346 00:17:18,515 --> 00:17:22,519 what they could see were the stars. 347 00:17:22,563 --> 00:17:26,175 But it wasn't just the night sky as if there was nothing there. 348 00:17:26,219 --> 00:17:29,918 They were wavy as if something was getting in the way 349 00:17:29,961 --> 00:17:32,442 of the direct light from the stars. 350 00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:35,706 So, it's stealth. It's camouflaged. 351 00:17:38,622 --> 00:17:41,103 Camouflaged? 352 00:17:41,147 --> 00:17:43,627 Could the descriptions of the Phoenix Lights 353 00:17:43,671 --> 00:17:46,065 indicate that witnesses were observing 354 00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:48,980 some type of stealth alien technology 355 00:17:49,024 --> 00:17:50,678 that, whether intentional or not, 356 00:17:50,721 --> 00:17:53,724 momentarily revealed itself? 357 00:17:53,768 --> 00:17:55,639 And if so, 358 00:17:55,683 --> 00:17:58,816 could there be far more extraterrestrial aircraft 359 00:17:58,860 --> 00:18:02,255 in our skies than we ever imagined? 360 00:18:02,298 --> 00:18:04,083 People think of disclosure 361 00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:08,043 as being the archetypal landing on the White House lawn. 362 00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:11,873 What if aliens are already here 363 00:18:11,916 --> 00:18:14,397 and then disclosure, 364 00:18:14,441 --> 00:18:16,007 open first contact 365 00:18:16,051 --> 00:18:19,272 is the day when they reveal themselves? 366 00:18:25,756 --> 00:18:27,541 People often ask me, 367 00:18:27,584 --> 00:18:29,456 "Why aren't there any UFO sightings 368 00:18:29,499 --> 00:18:31,719 before the 20th century?" 369 00:18:31,762 --> 00:18:34,548 And my answer is, "Of course there were." 370 00:18:34,591 --> 00:18:36,221 History is filled with alien encounter stories. 371 00:18:36,245 --> 00:18:38,813 But our ancestors didn't have the words 372 00:18:38,856 --> 00:18:40,989 like "aliens" and "UFOs," 373 00:18:41,032 --> 00:18:43,165 and, of course, this was long before 374 00:18:43,209 --> 00:18:44,993 they had built flying machines. 375 00:18:45,036 --> 00:18:47,126 What their stories describe 376 00:18:47,169 --> 00:18:50,955 is what I call misunderstood technology, 377 00:18:50,999 --> 00:18:53,262 like this UFO sighting that took place 378 00:18:53,306 --> 00:18:55,395 in the fourth century AD 379 00:18:55,438 --> 00:18:58,311 and forever altered the course of humanity. 380 00:18:59,529 --> 00:19:01,531 Number five on my countdown: 381 00:19:01,575 --> 00:19:03,664 Constantine's Vision. 382 00:19:07,885 --> 00:19:10,584 Rome. 383 00:19:10,627 --> 00:19:15,328 October 27, 312 AD. 384 00:19:15,371 --> 00:19:18,679 At the Milvian Bridge on the north side of the city, 385 00:19:18,722 --> 00:19:20,028 deposed Emperor Constantine 386 00:19:20,071 --> 00:19:23,423 prepares to reclaim his throne from Maxentius. 387 00:19:23,466 --> 00:19:25,381 In the sky, 388 00:19:25,425 --> 00:19:29,298 he witnesses what he believes is a divine vision. 389 00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:33,998 Constantine and his followers 390 00:19:34,042 --> 00:19:35,739 saw in the sky 391 00:19:35,783 --> 00:19:38,046 what their chroniclers say 392 00:19:38,089 --> 00:19:43,356 was a huge, white, fiery cross. 393 00:19:45,706 --> 00:19:49,057 Now, his followers didn't know what to make of this, 394 00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:51,233 but Constantine decided 395 00:19:51,277 --> 00:19:53,496 that this was the Christian cross. 396 00:19:54,628 --> 00:19:57,239 At that point, he made a vow to Christ 397 00:19:57,283 --> 00:19:58,936 that if he won the battle, 398 00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:02,418 he would convert to Christianity for good, 399 00:20:02,462 --> 00:20:05,116 and he would make Christianity 400 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,424 the state religion of the Roman Empire. 401 00:20:08,468 --> 00:20:10,731 The vision of Constantine 402 00:20:10,774 --> 00:20:12,472 was extremely significant. 403 00:20:12,515 --> 00:20:14,648 They thought it was some kind of message. 404 00:20:14,691 --> 00:20:18,042 "Fight this battle and establish this form of Christianity." 405 00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,891 KATHLEEN McGOWAN COPPENS: Constantine feels, 406 00:20:20,915 --> 00:20:23,700 after viewing this extraordinary sign from the heavens, 407 00:20:23,744 --> 00:20:26,399 this lighted cross in the sky, 408 00:20:26,442 --> 00:20:28,618 that he will go forth the next day, 409 00:20:28,662 --> 00:20:31,099 and he will conquer the Roman Empire. 410 00:20:31,142 --> 00:20:33,232 And this is exactly what he does. 411 00:20:34,363 --> 00:20:36,931 This vision becomes 412 00:20:36,974 --> 00:20:40,239 one of the crucial turning points in human history. 413 00:20:44,025 --> 00:20:46,636 Constantine's victory at the Milvian Bridge 414 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,551 was the first step in Christianity 415 00:20:48,595 --> 00:20:51,162 becoming Europe's dominant religion, 416 00:20:51,206 --> 00:20:54,601 and the world was changed forever. 417 00:20:56,646 --> 00:20:59,301 But was the cross-shaped object 418 00:20:59,345 --> 00:21:01,608 Constantine claimed to have seen in the sky 419 00:21:01,651 --> 00:21:04,393 really a sign from God? 420 00:21:04,437 --> 00:21:08,615 Or might it have been some other extraordinary force? 421 00:21:08,658 --> 00:21:11,444 It looked like the shape of a cross, but the shape 422 00:21:11,487 --> 00:21:14,447 of a cross could have been airplane-type objects 423 00:21:14,490 --> 00:21:16,338 because the fuselage and the wings will look like a cross 424 00:21:16,362 --> 00:21:17,469 to somebody who's looking up. 425 00:21:17,493 --> 00:21:19,016 And, of course, they had no concept 426 00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:21,280 of these things back then. 427 00:21:21,323 --> 00:21:24,631 Now, it was not just Constantine's vision 428 00:21:24,674 --> 00:21:26,328 because it is described 429 00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:28,852 that the army of Constantine 430 00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:31,855 also saw something up in the sky. 431 00:21:31,899 --> 00:21:34,815 This was a pivotal moment. 432 00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:37,774 The adoption of Christianity 433 00:21:37,818 --> 00:21:41,300 as the official religion really changed the world, 434 00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:44,999 and that's now a large part of the world we live in. 435 00:21:45,042 --> 00:21:46,827 Is it possible 436 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:50,221 that a 1,700-year-old UFO encounter 437 00:21:50,265 --> 00:21:53,137 was responsible for one of the greatest turning points 438 00:21:53,181 --> 00:21:55,096 in human history? 439 00:21:55,139 --> 00:21:56,619 So, the question is 440 00:21:56,663 --> 00:21:59,840 is this one of the earliest UFO encounters 441 00:21:59,883 --> 00:22:01,363 that we have on record? 442 00:22:01,407 --> 00:22:03,800 And, in my opinion, yes, it is. 443 00:22:06,542 --> 00:22:08,327 Remember when I said earlier 444 00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:10,590 that the case of Betty and Barney Hill 445 00:22:10,633 --> 00:22:13,767 was the first alien abduction ever reported? 446 00:22:13,810 --> 00:22:16,552 Well, that's because the term "alien abduction" 447 00:22:16,596 --> 00:22:19,642 did not exist thousands of years ago. 448 00:22:19,686 --> 00:22:23,385 In fact, one of the most compelling abduction accounts 449 00:22:23,429 --> 00:22:25,648 I've ever read is ancient 450 00:22:25,692 --> 00:22:28,869 and can be found in a text that might surprise you: 451 00:22:28,912 --> 00:22:30,697 the holy Bible. 452 00:22:31,915 --> 00:22:33,830 Number four on my countdown: 453 00:22:33,874 --> 00:22:36,180 Elijah's Chariot. 454 00:22:38,748 --> 00:22:40,010 Northern Israel. 455 00:22:40,054 --> 00:22:43,666 The ninth century BC. 456 00:22:43,710 --> 00:22:47,496 According to Old Testament texts found in the Hebrew Bible, 457 00:22:47,540 --> 00:22:50,630 it was here that the prophet Elijah 458 00:22:50,673 --> 00:22:54,547 had several encounters with both angels and God 459 00:22:54,590 --> 00:22:56,984 during which he was given prophetic warnings 460 00:22:57,027 --> 00:23:00,379 of drought and cataclysm. 461 00:23:00,422 --> 00:23:03,033 One of the most important, uh, prophets 462 00:23:03,077 --> 00:23:05,732 in-in Israelite tradition, of course, is-is Elijah. 463 00:23:06,907 --> 00:23:09,866 Elijah predicts some rough things coming, 464 00:23:09,910 --> 00:23:11,912 and, of course, they do. 465 00:23:11,955 --> 00:23:15,002 There is a very special role 466 00:23:15,045 --> 00:23:17,004 in communicating God's designs 467 00:23:17,047 --> 00:23:19,310 and sometimes his condemnation. 468 00:23:19,354 --> 00:23:23,402 So, Elijah is met with rather divine-like figures. 469 00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:27,275 In his final encounter with God, 470 00:23:27,318 --> 00:23:30,539 it is written that Elijah is met by a chariot of fire 471 00:23:30,583 --> 00:23:32,193 and horses of fire 472 00:23:32,236 --> 00:23:35,631 that take him up to heaven in a whirlwind. 473 00:23:35,675 --> 00:23:37,198 Elijah's experience 474 00:23:37,241 --> 00:23:41,202 details a spinning object 475 00:23:41,245 --> 00:23:43,987 or a whirlwind that came over him 476 00:23:44,031 --> 00:23:46,120 and a chariot of fire. 477 00:23:46,163 --> 00:23:47,426 So, the question is 478 00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:49,863 was it the chariot of fire that was spinning? 479 00:23:49,906 --> 00:23:51,081 Or was it 480 00:23:51,125 --> 00:23:55,695 a beam that came down and took him up? 481 00:23:55,738 --> 00:23:57,914 It's not a far stretch to say that this was 482 00:23:57,958 --> 00:24:02,789 an actually, uh, spinning object that was above him 483 00:24:02,832 --> 00:24:04,965 that took him up into it. 484 00:24:05,008 --> 00:24:08,098 Could the-the fire have been some sort of engine? 485 00:24:08,142 --> 00:24:09,665 When he's taken up in a whirlwind, 486 00:24:09,709 --> 00:24:12,146 you know, you only have to look at, for example, 487 00:24:12,189 --> 00:24:14,989 - when the space shuttle takes to the skies. - Four, three, two... 488 00:24:16,716 --> 00:24:18,413 You know, you have these rumbling, 489 00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:21,372 roaring jet flames, et cetera, et cetera. 490 00:24:21,416 --> 00:24:22,765 If you look at it in that context, 491 00:24:22,809 --> 00:24:26,639 you could really place this into a UFO category. 492 00:24:28,205 --> 00:24:31,339 Definitely, these are, uh, characteristics 493 00:24:31,382 --> 00:24:33,689 that we see of abductions 494 00:24:33,733 --> 00:24:35,778 where people are taken up into objects. 495 00:24:36,866 --> 00:24:39,434 Could it be that a story found 496 00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:41,741 in one of the earliest books of the Hebrew Bible 497 00:24:41,784 --> 00:24:43,525 is, in fact, 498 00:24:43,569 --> 00:24:45,396 an account of an alien abduction 499 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,748 that occurred thousands of years ago? 500 00:24:48,791 --> 00:24:51,098 And if so, what might it reveal 501 00:24:51,141 --> 00:24:55,319 about extraterrestrial intervention on Earth? 502 00:24:55,363 --> 00:24:57,757 We see from the biblical record 503 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,238 that mankind has a purpose and a destiny. 504 00:25:01,282 --> 00:25:03,023 There clearly are extraterrestrials, 505 00:25:03,066 --> 00:25:06,374 and they are clearly interacting with us 506 00:25:06,417 --> 00:25:09,769 and guiding us and directing humanity 507 00:25:09,812 --> 00:25:13,686 towards this predestined end. 508 00:25:19,605 --> 00:25:22,172 When it comes to alien abduction reports, 509 00:25:22,216 --> 00:25:25,219 most rely on the testimony of the abductees themselves. 510 00:25:25,262 --> 00:25:30,006 It's very rare for an abduction to be witnessed by anybody else. 511 00:25:30,050 --> 00:25:34,010 But in this next case, there were multiple witnesses 512 00:25:34,054 --> 00:25:37,187 who saw the abduction as it happened. 513 00:25:37,231 --> 00:25:39,320 This is one of the most fascinating 514 00:25:39,363 --> 00:25:41,409 and famous accounts on record. 515 00:25:42,628 --> 00:25:46,632 Number three on my list of the top ten alien encounters: 516 00:25:46,675 --> 00:25:49,852 The Travis Walton Abduction. 517 00:25:52,376 --> 00:25:56,424 The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona. 518 00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:01,211 November 5, 1975. 519 00:26:02,430 --> 00:26:06,086 22-year-old forestry worker Travis Walton 520 00:26:06,129 --> 00:26:09,872 is driving home after sundown along with six coworkers 521 00:26:09,916 --> 00:26:13,615 when suddenly, a strange light appears in the sky. 522 00:26:13,659 --> 00:26:16,052 We'd just finished a long, hard day, 523 00:26:16,096 --> 00:26:17,203 and it was starting to get dark. 524 00:26:17,227 --> 00:26:19,360 So, uh, we loaded up our equipment. 525 00:26:19,403 --> 00:26:20,404 We were headed home. 526 00:26:20,448 --> 00:26:22,624 And I noticed, uh, 527 00:26:22,668 --> 00:26:25,322 some little glimmers of light coming through the trees, 528 00:26:25,366 --> 00:26:27,760 and the light seemed to be coming 529 00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:30,458 from higher than where ground level would be. 530 00:26:30,501 --> 00:26:34,331 It was only when we got to where this light 531 00:26:34,375 --> 00:26:35,594 was crossing the road 532 00:26:35,637 --> 00:26:38,858 that we had an unobstructed view of the craft. 533 00:26:38,901 --> 00:26:41,295 Allen Dalis in the back yelled out, 534 00:26:41,338 --> 00:26:42,949 "It's a flying saucer!" 535 00:26:42,992 --> 00:26:44,733 And I said, "Mike, stop." 536 00:26:46,169 --> 00:26:48,998 It was a clearly visible, 537 00:26:49,042 --> 00:26:52,001 clearly defined metallic object, 538 00:26:52,045 --> 00:26:55,091 a disc, hovering there, outlined against the sky. 539 00:26:55,135 --> 00:26:57,267 I threw open the door, 540 00:26:57,311 --> 00:27:00,053 thinking I'd get a closer look before it took off. 541 00:27:00,096 --> 00:27:02,882 As I got closer to it, the sound it was making, 542 00:27:02,925 --> 00:27:06,102 it was a sound you-you both heard and felt. 543 00:27:06,146 --> 00:27:08,452 And, uh, the crew said 544 00:27:08,496 --> 00:27:11,020 they could feel the vibration in the truck. 545 00:27:12,195 --> 00:27:16,504 They said it seemed like something was about to happen. 546 00:27:16,547 --> 00:27:19,333 And it was. 547 00:27:19,376 --> 00:27:22,945 That's when this energy hit me. 548 00:27:22,989 --> 00:27:26,993 The crew said that it was like I'd stepped on a land mine. 549 00:27:28,168 --> 00:27:30,561 Like an explosion 550 00:27:30,605 --> 00:27:33,521 so violent that, uh, they thought 551 00:27:33,564 --> 00:27:34,783 it, uh, it had killed me. 552 00:27:35,741 --> 00:27:39,701 When this beam of energy hit me, 553 00:27:39,745 --> 00:27:42,399 I felt like a physical blow, 554 00:27:42,443 --> 00:27:45,794 but with a sort of a tingling, sort of an electric shock 555 00:27:45,838 --> 00:27:48,449 sort of feeling at the same time. 556 00:27:48,492 --> 00:27:52,888 I don't know whether I came to soon after I was taken aboard. 557 00:27:52,932 --> 00:27:55,717 But I know I was on 558 00:27:55,761 --> 00:27:58,981 some kind of an elevated gurney or operating table. 559 00:27:59,025 --> 00:28:01,288 I was looking straight into the face of this creature, 560 00:28:01,331 --> 00:28:03,551 and I just flipped out. 561 00:28:05,118 --> 00:28:09,165 He saw these hideous entities that scared him. 562 00:28:09,209 --> 00:28:13,126 Maybe quite similar to the modern idea 563 00:28:13,169 --> 00:28:15,650 of the so-called alien Greys. 564 00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:18,871 And he fought, and he panicked. 565 00:28:19,959 --> 00:28:22,788 And then these aliens seemed to go away, 566 00:28:22,831 --> 00:28:24,964 and then their place was taken 567 00:28:25,007 --> 00:28:28,489 by much more humanlike aliens, 568 00:28:28,532 --> 00:28:30,534 and he calmed down. 569 00:28:30,578 --> 00:28:33,668 In the case of these human-looking ones, 570 00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,236 I started to have serious misgivings 571 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:37,585 that this was a rescue. 572 00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:41,241 And that's when they put this mask over my face, 573 00:28:41,284 --> 00:28:43,199 and I just blacked out real quickly. 574 00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:47,769 Now, the suspicion here 575 00:28:47,813 --> 00:28:50,903 was that, actually, these weren't different aliens. 576 00:28:50,946 --> 00:28:52,687 These were the same aliens, 577 00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:55,864 but they were capable of shape-shifting 578 00:28:55,908 --> 00:28:59,912 into something else specifically to calm him down. 579 00:29:04,351 --> 00:29:05,415 Crews searched everywhere 580 00:29:05,439 --> 00:29:07,397 for the missing forest worker. 581 00:29:08,572 --> 00:29:12,098 But it wasn't until five days later that Walton 582 00:29:12,141 --> 00:29:15,710 reappeared in a nearby town. 583 00:29:15,754 --> 00:29:19,453 I was lying facedown outside in the dark, 584 00:29:19,496 --> 00:29:21,803 and there was a light above me. 585 00:29:21,847 --> 00:29:24,501 And I saw the bottom of the craft there 586 00:29:24,545 --> 00:29:26,765 right before it shot up into the sky. 587 00:29:30,029 --> 00:29:32,379 When details of Travis Walton's close encounter 588 00:29:32,422 --> 00:29:34,773 were revealed to authorities, 589 00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:39,125 they dismissed his account as a possible hallucination. 590 00:29:40,691 --> 00:29:42,868 But Travis has no doubt 591 00:29:42,911 --> 00:29:45,871 that what he and his coworkers experienced 592 00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:49,483 was a genuine extraterrestrial encounter. 593 00:29:49,526 --> 00:29:51,877 What no one asked 594 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,575 was, you know, "What about the rest of the crew?" 595 00:29:54,618 --> 00:29:57,447 How do seven people have an identical hallucination? 596 00:29:57,491 --> 00:29:59,058 And besides that, 597 00:29:59,101 --> 00:30:01,060 they were given lie detector tests 598 00:30:01,103 --> 00:30:03,845 by state police, which they passed. 599 00:30:03,889 --> 00:30:06,413 There's real-life things that occur out there 600 00:30:06,456 --> 00:30:08,807 that need to be understood. 601 00:30:08,850 --> 00:30:11,810 So, take a look at the facts a-and then judge. 602 00:30:11,853 --> 00:30:15,552 I don't know the purpose that they had. 603 00:30:15,596 --> 00:30:17,946 All I know is what happened to me. 604 00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:19,469 This was unmistakable. 605 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:28,957 Every now and then, an encounter is so compelling 606 00:30:29,001 --> 00:30:32,482 that it turns skeptics into true believers. 607 00:30:32,526 --> 00:30:36,399 That's exactly what happened in the early 1970s 608 00:30:36,443 --> 00:30:39,359 when a NASA scientist set out 609 00:30:39,402 --> 00:30:41,535 to prove Erich von Daniken wrong. 610 00:30:41,578 --> 00:30:44,016 But, in fact, he ended up supporting 611 00:30:44,059 --> 00:30:46,061 one of Erich's theories so strongly 612 00:30:46,105 --> 00:30:47,465 that he even wrote a book about it. 613 00:30:48,237 --> 00:30:50,152 Number two on my countdown: 614 00:30:50,196 --> 00:30:52,502 The Wheels of Ezekiel. 615 00:30:56,811 --> 00:30:58,987 Northeast Syria. 616 00:30:59,031 --> 00:31:01,903 The Khabur River. 617 00:31:01,947 --> 00:31:04,297 According to the Hebrew Bible, 618 00:31:04,340 --> 00:31:07,561 it was here, in the sixth century BC, 619 00:31:07,604 --> 00:31:09,868 that divine beings descended from heaven 620 00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:11,913 and made contact 621 00:31:11,957 --> 00:31:15,874 with a Hebrew priest named Ezekiel. 622 00:31:15,917 --> 00:31:18,920 Ezekiel was by the River Khabur, 623 00:31:18,964 --> 00:31:21,836 and he said a great whirlwind came toward him. 624 00:31:23,533 --> 00:31:26,319 He described it as a fire enfolding itself, 625 00:31:26,362 --> 00:31:27,842 and out of the fire 626 00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:30,018 was the color of amber, 627 00:31:30,062 --> 00:31:32,586 which is the Hebrew word 628 00:31:32,629 --> 00:31:34,936 which means "polished specter of metal," 629 00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:38,809 which implies that it's metallic and that it's spinning. 630 00:31:38,853 --> 00:31:41,073 And it lands in front of him, 631 00:31:41,116 --> 00:31:44,163 and suddenly, out of this whirlwind 632 00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:46,078 come four creatures. 633 00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:50,473 In the Bible, the prophet Ezekiel 634 00:31:50,517 --> 00:31:53,912 calls these spiritual beings cherubims 635 00:31:53,955 --> 00:31:57,916 and describes them as having four faces, four wings 636 00:31:57,959 --> 00:32:01,876 and skin that shone like polished bronze. 637 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,748 Ezekiel says that he was taken up 638 00:32:04,792 --> 00:32:08,665 into the sky and taken to different places 639 00:32:08,709 --> 00:32:10,624 where he could see different things. 640 00:32:11,755 --> 00:32:13,844 And then he was told 641 00:32:13,888 --> 00:32:16,151 some of the future things that were going to come. 642 00:32:16,195 --> 00:32:19,763 This was a huge image of hope 643 00:32:19,807 --> 00:32:23,593 that came to Ezekiel during his experience. 644 00:32:23,637 --> 00:32:27,989 But is this the story of a divine encounter? 645 00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:29,948 Or could Ezekiel's description 646 00:32:29,991 --> 00:32:33,081 of metallic wheels descending from the sky 647 00:32:33,125 --> 00:32:34,735 in a whirlwind of fire 648 00:32:34,778 --> 00:32:38,260 and strange beings with skin like polished bronze 649 00:32:38,304 --> 00:32:43,048 point to a different type of otherworldly contact? 650 00:32:44,049 --> 00:32:46,486 He's got the best description of a UFO 651 00:32:46,529 --> 00:32:47,835 that's anywhere in the Bible... 652 00:32:49,054 --> 00:32:51,708 because he basically says 653 00:32:51,752 --> 00:32:54,929 that the thing looked like a wheel within a wheel, uh, 654 00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:58,063 kind of a classic flying saucer description. 655 00:32:59,064 --> 00:33:00,935 Ezekiel describes 656 00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:03,546 that the outside of the wheel doesn't spin. 657 00:33:03,590 --> 00:33:06,419 The inside of the wheel spins. 658 00:33:06,462 --> 00:33:09,248 So, he's telling us that's the engines. 659 00:33:10,901 --> 00:33:13,034 None of this necessarily has to be magic. 660 00:33:13,078 --> 00:33:15,384 This could all be technology. 661 00:33:15,428 --> 00:33:17,604 It's basically the account 662 00:33:17,647 --> 00:33:21,086 of a guy who's been abducted who has been told certain things 663 00:33:21,129 --> 00:33:23,784 and who's then returned to the place of origin. 664 00:33:23,827 --> 00:33:26,004 It would be what we today would describe 665 00:33:26,047 --> 00:33:27,353 as an abduction account. 666 00:33:29,572 --> 00:33:33,011 Could it be that the prophet Ezekiel's account 667 00:33:33,054 --> 00:33:36,101 of a heavenly close encounter might have been something else? 668 00:33:36,144 --> 00:33:39,582 Perhaps one not involving heavenly beings 669 00:33:39,626 --> 00:33:43,978 but visitors of another interplanetary nature? 670 00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:47,503 This concept was put forth to the public 671 00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:51,551 by the ancient astronaut theory pioneer Erich von Daniken 672 00:33:51,594 --> 00:33:55,511 in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods? 673 00:33:55,555 --> 00:33:57,557 And after hearing Erich speak 674 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,733 at a conference in the early 1970s, 675 00:33:59,776 --> 00:34:02,692 NASA engineer Josef Blumrich 676 00:34:02,736 --> 00:34:06,696 was determined to debunk his controversial interpretation. 677 00:34:07,784 --> 00:34:11,266 I had a speech at NASA in Huntsville, 678 00:34:11,310 --> 00:34:14,748 and I spoke about Ezekiel. 679 00:34:14,791 --> 00:34:18,056 And the chief engineer of that time, 680 00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:20,449 Mr. Joe Blumrich, 681 00:34:20,493 --> 00:34:22,886 came to me and said, "Erich, this was very interesting. 682 00:34:22,930 --> 00:34:24,192 "But in the Bible, 683 00:34:24,236 --> 00:34:26,890 you will definitely not find any technology." 684 00:34:26,934 --> 00:34:28,805 But he still said, 685 00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:31,852 "I will read originally in the Bible Ezekiel." 686 00:34:31,895 --> 00:34:35,073 Blumrich set out to find flaws 687 00:34:35,116 --> 00:34:36,944 in von Daniken's theory, 688 00:34:36,987 --> 00:34:39,381 but when he read the Book of Ezekiel, 689 00:34:39,425 --> 00:34:41,731 he was shocked to find himself agreeing 690 00:34:41,775 --> 00:34:43,951 with the controversial author. 691 00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,693 So much so, in fact, 692 00:34:46,736 --> 00:34:49,913 that he wrote a book called The Spaceships of Ezekiel 693 00:34:49,957 --> 00:34:52,133 in which he provided a blueprint 694 00:34:52,177 --> 00:34:54,135 for a practical landing module 695 00:34:54,179 --> 00:34:58,183 based on the description found in the biblical story. 696 00:34:58,226 --> 00:35:00,446 Several years later, 697 00:35:00,489 --> 00:35:04,232 a German structural engineer named Hans Herbert Beier 698 00:35:04,276 --> 00:35:06,060 also sketched out a blueprint 699 00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,236 of the second section of the Book of Ezekiel 700 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,977 where Ezekiel is told 701 00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:11,631 to construct an open-topped building 702 00:35:11,674 --> 00:35:14,634 to house the flying chariot. 703 00:35:14,677 --> 00:35:16,549 Hans Herbert Beier 704 00:35:16,592 --> 00:35:19,073 sent the blueprint to Erich von Daniken. 705 00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:23,730 Within five minutes of looking at these blueprints, 706 00:35:23,773 --> 00:35:26,733 Erich was on the phone with Joe Blumrich. 707 00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,301 And he said, "Hey, Joe, 708 00:35:29,344 --> 00:35:33,348 can you bring a model of your spaceship of Ezekiel?" 709 00:35:33,392 --> 00:35:35,611 And then he called Hans Herbert Beier, 710 00:35:35,655 --> 00:35:38,266 and he said, "Can you bring a model 711 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:41,530 of your construction of Ezekiel's temple?" 712 00:35:41,574 --> 00:35:45,273 Both models were created to the same ratio. 713 00:35:45,317 --> 00:35:47,101 And guess what? 714 00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:52,193 Ezekiel's spaceship fit into the temple construction 715 00:35:52,237 --> 00:35:55,892 that Hans Herbert Beier recreated 716 00:35:55,936 --> 00:35:58,852 according to the biblical measurements. 717 00:36:00,636 --> 00:36:04,336 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 718 00:36:04,379 --> 00:36:06,686 the biblical account of Ezekiel 719 00:36:06,729 --> 00:36:08,644 provides conclusive evidence 720 00:36:08,688 --> 00:36:10,820 of an alien encounter. 721 00:36:10,864 --> 00:36:12,909 But more importantly, 722 00:36:12,953 --> 00:36:16,174 it may also reveal that for thousands of years, 723 00:36:16,217 --> 00:36:18,524 the destiny of humankind 724 00:36:18,567 --> 00:36:22,354 has been directed by extraterrestrials. 725 00:36:29,230 --> 00:36:33,365 This may be one of the oldest alien encounter stories, 726 00:36:33,408 --> 00:36:36,324 but for me, it is still the most compelling. 727 00:36:36,368 --> 00:36:39,371 Written over 3,000 years ago, 728 00:36:39,414 --> 00:36:41,329 it was banned from the Bible 729 00:36:41,373 --> 00:36:45,246 because this ancient text describes in detail 730 00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:48,902 humankind's extraterrestrial origins. 731 00:36:49,859 --> 00:36:53,036 My number one alien encounter: 732 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,083 Enoch's Ascent to Heaven in a Chariot of the Gods. 733 00:37:01,436 --> 00:37:05,005 Khirbet Qumran, Palestine. 734 00:37:05,048 --> 00:37:07,790 In 1946, 735 00:37:07,834 --> 00:37:09,792 a collection of ancient manuscripts 736 00:37:09,836 --> 00:37:11,838 known as the Dead Sea Scrolls 737 00:37:11,881 --> 00:37:13,753 is discovered hidden in clay jars 738 00:37:13,796 --> 00:37:16,234 deep inside a cave. 739 00:37:16,277 --> 00:37:17,887 Among the manuscripts 740 00:37:17,931 --> 00:37:19,585 is the Book of Enoch, 741 00:37:19,628 --> 00:37:22,718 a so-called lost biblical text. 742 00:37:22,762 --> 00:37:24,981 In the Bible's Old Testament, 743 00:37:25,025 --> 00:37:27,157 Enoch is the seventh of ten patriarchs 744 00:37:27,201 --> 00:37:29,464 who lived before the Great Flood 745 00:37:29,508 --> 00:37:32,554 and the great-grandfather of Noah. 746 00:37:32,598 --> 00:37:35,557 But where the Hebrew Bible only mentions Enoch briefly, 747 00:37:35,601 --> 00:37:37,211 the Book of Enoch, 748 00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:39,518 which consists of more than 100 chapters, 749 00:37:39,561 --> 00:37:42,172 greatly expands on his story. 750 00:37:42,216 --> 00:37:45,567 In it is a curious passage 751 00:37:45,611 --> 00:37:48,309 that details Enoch's ascent to heaven. 752 00:37:48,353 --> 00:37:50,311 According to the Book of Enoch, 753 00:37:50,355 --> 00:37:52,966 he says he was 12 years old. 754 00:37:53,009 --> 00:37:55,360 The whole community of his village wanted to sleep, 755 00:37:55,403 --> 00:37:58,101 but then they hear the noise in the sky. 756 00:37:58,145 --> 00:38:01,627 Two angels came down from the sky. 757 00:38:01,670 --> 00:38:03,629 One of the two beings said to Enoch, 758 00:38:03,672 --> 00:38:05,326 "Don't be afraid, human." 759 00:38:05,370 --> 00:38:08,895 Then they went up to the so-called heaven. 760 00:38:08,938 --> 00:38:11,245 And in the Book of Enoch, we learn 761 00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:14,770 Enoch himself is taken into the heavens in a fiery chariot. 762 00:38:14,814 --> 00:38:17,164 Enoch goes up to the so-called sky, 763 00:38:17,207 --> 00:38:19,035 and there Enoch sees 764 00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:22,387 something over the Earth which he cannot describe. 765 00:38:22,430 --> 00:38:25,303 He has no word like "spaceship" or something. 766 00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:28,306 He says it looked like houses of crystal. 767 00:38:31,396 --> 00:38:33,572 It is described that he sees 768 00:38:33,615 --> 00:38:36,226 planet Earth underneath him. 769 00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:38,838 He actually describes his arrival, 770 00:38:38,881 --> 00:38:42,145 how he has to walk through these
