>> NARRATOR: A great deluge,
nearly wiping out every living
thing on our planet's surface.
Cosmic battles, waged over the
skies of Germany.
And geologic cataclysms,
threatening the future
of humanity.
For centuries, mankind has
faced almost every calamity
imaginable.
But are we at the mercy of
natural forces?
Or is there an even higher power
at work?
>> WILLIAM BRAMLEY: The aliens
that apparently created us had
the ability and the desire to
keep human beings disunited.
>> DAVID M. JACOBS: They can
control us, and we cannot
control them.
That makes us a second-class
species.
>> GEORGE NOORY: If anything,
they may be more violent than
we are.
>> NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
What if it were true?
Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?
If so, were they out to control
us, to exterminate us or to
prepare us for the future?
>> NARRATOR: Tortuguero, Mexico.
Within this archaeological site
lies the ruins of a Maya city
that once thrived from 250
to 900 AD.
Among the many artifacts
discovered here are examples of
Maya script, also known as Maya
hieroglyphs, a fully-developed
written language.
In April 2006, Mayanist scholar
David Stuart deciphered
inscriptions that were found on
what's known as Monument 6.
Researchers believe the
translated text provides
further proof that the Mayas'
Long Count calendar will end on
December 21, 2012.
>> ERICH VON DANIKEN: According
to Maya tradition, the gods
will return at that date.
And you can read-- chiseled in
stone-- will descend with glory,
god Bolon Yokte.
Bolon Yokte was one of the Maya
creator gods who created human
intelligence.
>> JOHN VAN AUKEN: The ancient
Mayans were attuned to higher
wisdom, higher knowledge, and
their forecast of December 21,
2012, the winter solstice, as a
major marker in the Age of
Earth was a true insight into
what's coming.
It is a marker of a change
into a new age.
>> NARRATOR: The Maya
civilization, established as
early as 2000 BC, produced
highly advanced architecture,
agriculture, mathematics
and astronomy.
But ancient astronaut theorists
believe the amazing
accomplishments of the Maya may
be due, in part, to contact with
early extraterrestrials.
And the ultimate proof, they
say, is in the creation of the
Maya calendar.
>> GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
Scholars agree upon one date
when the calendar allegedly
started, and that was the 11th
of August, 3114 BC.
In 3114 BC, the Maya did not
even exist, so what compelled
them to start their calendar
in 3114 BC?
According to the Chilam Balam
book, which is the Book of the
Jaguar Priests, at that time,
the road to the stars descended
from the sky, and the 13 and
nine gods came to Earth.
Right there, we have a direct
reference to someone that has
arrived from outer space.
>> BRAMLEY: The Mayans were one
of the civilizations that
reported a very strong
extraterrestrial presence.
Their alien gods were very much
involved in their society and
their sciences.
The thought here is that maybe
this is a prophecy that was put
there by the aliens, through
the Mayans, in this calendar--
that the world is going to end
in the year 2012.
>> NARRATOR: Apocalypse.
Armageddon.
The End of Days.
Embedded in numerous ancient
cultures and religions around
the world is the idea that
civilization as we know it will
come to a tumultuous end.
Such apocalyptic beliefs are the
driving force behind the final
chapter of the Bible, called
the Book of Revelation.
According to the text, an angel
of God appeared to the apostle
John on the island of Patmos and
shared with him visions of the
future-- that God would return
in End Times to pass judgment
on all humanity.
>> VON DANIKEN: The Book of
Revelation tells the future of
mankind, where angels appear
over the Earth.
And the angel will punish
mankind.
And earthquakes...
thunderstorm...
gigantic floods...
and catastrophes on Earth.
>> NARRATOR: Further evidence of
a prophesied Apocalypse was
found in 1947 in arid caves high
above the Judean desert.
Archaeologists discovered
nearly 900 documents believed
to have been written in the
time of Jesus.
They are the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Among them is one called the
War Scroll that spells out in
chilling detail a future
apocalyptic war between the
forces of light and dark.
>> FATHER WILLIAM J. FULCO:
The Dead Sea Scrolls are talking
about a war between good angels
and bad angels.
Invariably, in almost every
ancient literature, you end up
with these cosmic fights between
the forces of good and the
forces of... of evil.
>> THOMAS E. BULLARD: The idea
that somehow the gods have
different factions and they
fight against each other has
sometimes given rise to ideas
like, uh, maybe there was an
ancient, uh, war between alien
factions visiting the Earth.
That would have provided the
visual imagery and the basic
ideas for some of the ancient
mythology.
In Judeo-Christian and Islamic
tradition, there was an idea
that there will be some kind of
final warfare when God defeats
Satan once and for all.
That's been interpreted by some
people to say that the aliens
will come back and they'll fight
it out again one final time.
>> NARRATOR: But have these
warnings of imminent war on
Earth actually come from God?
Or could they have originated
from somewhere else?
And if the forewarned Apocalypse
were to occur, might it simply
be part of a recurring cycle
of natural phenomena?
The Toba supervolcano,
Indonesia.
75,000 years ago, this massive
volcanic lake erupted,
triggering a major climate
change that nearly obliterated
mankind.
>> DENNIN: When you have one of
these massive volcanic
eruptions, what you have to
worry about is the dust in the
upper atmosphere, because that
shields the sunlight, and the
planet can cool.
And if that lasts long enough,
you can really mess with the
life cycle of the organisms
that are around at that time.
>> NARRATOR: Scientists call
this an example of a genetic
bottleneck-- a catastrophic
event that dramatically
decreases the genetic diversity
of a species.
>> TSOUKALOS: At least twice,
Homo sapiens experienced such a
genetic bottleneck effect where
the worldwide population
dwindled to as few as 3,000
Homo sapiens around the world.
>> BRAMLEY: The same patterns
of history just keep repeating
themselves over and over again.
And behind that pattern, we
continue to see possibly an
alien influence causing some of
these events to happen.
The flood stories are really
very interesting.
You find them in the Bible.
What they all say is that this
extraterrestrial race-- the
angels, the gods, whatever we
want to call them today-- they
basically just got tired of
humanity.
They became noisy, rebellious.
And it was just time to wipe
them out.
>> NOORY: It's very possible
that the aliens decided that in
order to cleanse the planet,
they needed to do things of
huge magnitude, like the flood
that the Bible talks about as
Noah.
God came down to him and said
he was going to punish mankind.
"Noah, you are good, and I want
you to build this massive ark
and collect all these animals, a
male and female, and you put
them in this boat and you float
away.
And you start all over again."
>> PHILIP COPPENS: When we come
in the Bible and we see Noah, we
find that he somehow knows the
future, whereas nobody else on
Earth seems to know this.
But specifically, he has been
given blueprints, somehow a
device whereby he can survive
this catastrophe.
Now, that is something very
specific, which singles Noah
out as being a person who might
have had exposure to ancient
aliens.
>> TSOUKALOS: Maybe the
extraterrestrials created some
type of a catastrophe.
But it's also possible that the
flood itself was a natural
disaster...
and extraterrestrials warned
the local population about this
impending massive flood.
Extraterrestrials ensured our
continued survival.
>> NARRATOR: Could there be a
reason why humans have survived
such disasters time and time
again?
And is it really possible that
the great flood and other
cataclysmic extinction events
were caused by
extraterrestrials?
If so, who are these
destructive beings, and what is
their ultimate purpose?
>> NARRATOR: Indonesia.
2004.
A massive underwater earthquake
produces a tsunami that kills
over 230,000 people in 14
coastal countries.
(man shouting)
It was one of the deadliest
natural disasters in recorded
history.
Geologists determine that the
violent movement of tectonic
plates on the floor of the
Indian Ocean created lethal
tidal waves measuring a height
of nearly 100 feet.
(people screaming)
>> DENNIN: Tsunamis are
basically super tidal waves.
And it really comes down to, at
its simplest level, is how much
energy is put into the ocean at
the point that generates the
tidal wave.
And the water gets displaced,
and it actually forms a wave
that can be very coherent and
travel for large distances, and
will eventually hit the shore
somewhere.
>> NARRATOR: But just days
before the disaster, several
eyewitnesses reported seeing
strange unidentified flying
objects to the India Daily
newspaper.
>> BRAMLEY: People were
reporting seeing bright lights
in the sky prior to and
during that tsunami.
Scientists think that that's
just maybe the tectonic plates
are rubbing each other, and
that there's so much friction
that they're giving off a glow.
>> NARRATOR: Known as
earthquake lights, mainstream
scientists have been studying
these phenomena since they were
first photographed in Japan in
the 1960s.
But although there are many
theories as to their cause,
there has been, as yet, no
viable explanation.
>> COPPENS: What is becoming
very apparent is that UFO
activity and tectonic activity
go hand in hand.
Now, there are an awful lot of
questions to be asked here and
science needs to answer an
awful lot of them.
The central question is this:
Is this UFO phenomenon just a
byproduct of the tectonic
activity?
>> NARRATOR: Iceland.
April, 2010.
One of the country's largest
volcanoes erupts for the first
time in nearly two centuries.
In the aftermath of the blast,
Sky News captured footage of an
unusual V-shaped flying object
amongst the plume of smoke and
ash.
>> COPPENS: An awful lot of
video material was taken of
this volcanic eruption.
And some of it clearly shows an
anomalous object hovering
roughly around the volcano.
This object is clearly under
intelligent control.
And from what we see on the
video, it's also apparent that
this isn't birds, as some
skeptics have been trying to
argue.
>> NARRATOR: According to
scientists, volcanic eruptions
are natural events that occur
when rocks deep within the
Earth become so hot, they melt
and form magma.
>> DENNIN: Basically, you build
up a lot of pressure in the
magma in the location where the
volcano is, and it has a point
where it can release, and then
that magma and the hot gases
and the hot lava all kind of
erupt out through the top.
>> NARRATOR: Still, some
researchers believe there is a
high correlation between
catastrophic events and the
appearance of UFOs.
>> COPPENS: The fact that we
have UFOs before and sometimes
during these events, whether
it's tsunami or earthquakes,
clearly shows that something is
present.
Now, the question is: are they
just monitoring it or are they
actually somehow involved with
it?
Are they causing it?
>> BRAMLEY: Is there a way
that you can trigger a volcano?
For example, let's say it's
sort of on the verge anyway.
Is there something you can do
technologically to either
trigger it or to make it worse?
We don't know.
We just see this apparent
foreknowledge of an event like
that happening.
The UFO shows up, the event
happens.
>> NARRATOR: According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
alien spacecraft have been
spotted at or near the sites of
so-called natural catastrophes
since ancient times.
But why?
Is it possible
extraterrestrials are merely
curious about geologic events
on Earth?
Or could there be another,
perhaps more sinister, motive
for their interest?
April 14, 1561...
Nuremberg, Germany.
Citizens awoke at dawn to the
spectacle of cylindrical
objects appearing in the sky
from which red, black, orange
and blue disks emerged.
According to eyewitness accounts
recorded in the Nuremberg
Gazette, tubes resembling
cannon barrels also appeared and
the objects began to
"fight one another."
After about an hour of battle,
the entities seemed to catch
fire and fell to Earth, where
they turned to steam.
Five years later, Austrian
architect Hans Glaser created a
woodcut detailing what he
observed during the
famous event.
>> BRAMLEY: In that woodcut
and in the eyewitness reports,
we actually see UFOs in battle.
They were reported actually
fighting each other, shooting
each other down.
If you look at the bottom
right-hand corner of the
woodcut, you will actually see
a couple of circles in the
ground, giving off smoke.
They've obviously crashed.
They have been shot down.
That is very interesting,
because it shows that the
pattern of aggression amongst
the UFOs, has been going on for
a long time.
>> NARRATOR: To some ancient
astronaut theorists, the 540-
year-old woodcut is evidence of
an alien cosmic war.
And in fact, they claim
similar hostile events have
occurred in human history
for centuries.
>> BRAMLEY: The evidence
from the record,
from eyewitness testimony,
shows a connection between the
UFO and a thinning effort,
where there's apparently a
wanton intention to wipe out
or thin out the human race.
For example, during the
plague years, there were a
lot of UFO reports about
bright lights in the sky that
were spreading gas.
And people were reporting
that these gasses were
actually the cause of the
plague.
>> NARRATOR: But could there
really be a connection between
eyewitness accounts of alien
space wars and the recent
sightings of UFOs during
Earth's so-called natural
catastrophes?
And is there any proof that
alien visitors are involved in
creating cataclysmic events in
a sinister effort to control
or "thin out" Earth's
population?
Perhaps the answer can be found
in Florence, Italy among
the diaries and secret
papers of one of the world's
most brilliant and mysterious
men... Leonardo da Vinci.
>> NARRATOR: 2005, Florence,
Italy.
Beyond a hidden staircase
in the Santissima Annunziata
convent, researchers from
Italy's Military Geographical
Institute discover the secret
workshop of Leonardo da Vinci.
>> WILCOCK: He was the true
archetypal Renaissance man:
brilliant painter,
brilliant inventor, brilliant
poet, ambidextrous, could write
with his left hand and his
right hand at the same time.
Wrote backwards instead of
forwards.
A very interesting guy.
>> NARRATOR: Though da Vinci is
renowned for his public
paintings like the Mona Lisa
and The Last Supper, ancient
astronaut theorists are more
intrigued by his private
notebooks that contain sketches
of futuristic military
technology, including machine
guns, tanks, helicopters and
even submarines.
>> WILCOCK: It clearly seems
that Leonardo da Vinci
was privy to a series of
secrets that had been handed
down for many, many thousands
of years.
Da Vinci may also have
actually been contacted by
human-like extraterrestrials
who either spoke to him in
person or perhaps
telepathically and inspired
him to do so many
different things.
>> BRAMLEY: We do know,
for example, that one of
his inventions was a
circular car.
It looks kind of like a UFO.
Now, he's also into inventing
weapons.
And did that come from the
fact that, the UFO has
demonstrated, basically, some
aggressiveness, and did some
of that maybe in some way rub
off on him?
>> WILCOCK: Were they
trying to give him weapons that
could be used to destroy life
on Earth?
That could have been possible.
>> NARRATOR: But if Leonardo da
Vinci did have knowledge of
advanced weaponry, might he
have learned of it through
observation and study?
Or was this knowledge given to
him by another, perhaps
extraterrestrial, source?
>> TSOUKALOS: There is this book
of prophesies which is a very
rare book, and in there are some
type of descriptions that could
indicate some type of an
extraterrestrial visitation.
There are references
in which da Vinci himself says
that he's had these encounters,
these visions of God
and angels.
And of course, according to the
ancient astronaut hypothesis,
that wasn't God, it wasn't
angels.
They were extraterrestrials.
>> NARRATOR: Is it possible
that over the centuries,
extraterrestrials have been
partnering with human
collaborators; human beings
entrusted with the kind of
advanced scientific knowledge
that would allow mankind to leap
over centuries of normal
intellectual evolution?
To ancient astronaut theorists,
the fact that mankind had gone
from the horse and buggy to the
Moon in less than 100 years
makes such a notion not only
possible, but entirely
probable.
>> TSOUKALOS: In our
development, all of a sudden
we've made a quantum leap,
where we were sitting in caves
munching on bananas, and the
next thing we do is we're
building pyramids, virtually
overnight.
And so that quantum leap
can be explained with a
direct extraterrestrial
intervention of our past.
>> WILCOCK: And the visitors are
the ones who are revered as
gods, who seem to come on
flying shields or silver boats
or any of the various
descriptions of
extraterrestrial technology
that you see in these ancient
legends, and they consistently
are trying to cultivate
humanity in a direction that's
beneficial for everyone.
>> NARRATOR: There are many who
believe extraterrestrial
visitors might have provided
intellectual inspiration to men
like Albert Einstein, whose
theories of relativity opened
the door for the possibility of
future travels through space
and time...
J. Robert Oppenheimer, whose
research in the field of
theoretical physics resulted in
the development of atomic
weapons...
Werner Von Braun-- whose
innovations in advanced rocket
technology led to the modern-
day space program.
>> COPPENS: When we look into
the lives and the motivations as
to Werner Von Braun and to why
he wanted to take mankind into
outer space, we are confronted
with the fact that he was
absolutely convinced that we
had gone there before or that
an ancient civilization had
come from there to Earth.
These people were motivated, and
specifically, they wanted to
take us to space because they
were convinced that somehow
they would find something
which would completely change
planet Earth.
>> NARRATOR: Then there is
Nikola Tesla, whose experiments
with electricity led to
everything from satellite
technology and robotics to what
some would term a "death ray."
(zapping)
>> DAVID SEREDA: The Tesla
death ray, Tesla said, could
annihilate an army of 100,000
soldiers at once, and could
melt an aircraft engine from 250
miles away.
When the FBI investigated
Tesla's murder, they found
documentation that the
Tesla death ray was in
development at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base in 1943.
Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base, 1943?
Where was the Roswell flying
saucer taken?
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
So we have a connection
to that weapon.
>> NARRATOR: Is it possible
that Nikola Tesla's scientific
achievements could have been
influenced by alien
intelligence?
Might other human geniuses
throughout time have served as
human gateways, allowing
extraterrestrials to jump-start
our technological advances?
If the answer is yes, then what
are we being prepared for?
And might there be a connection
between mankind's intellectual
and scientific advancements,
and the so-called natural
disasters that threaten to wipe
entire populations off the face
of the Earth?
>> NARRATOR: The Omo River,
Ethiopia.
Flowing south 400 miles into
Lake Turkana, the banks of this
river are rich in hominid
fossil fragments, including
those of chimpanzees, gorillas
and early humanoids.
Here in 1967,
paleoanthropologist Richard
Leakey unearthed two partial
human skulls.
The remains date as far back as
195,000 years ago, making the
fossils the oldest evidence of
modern humans, or Homo sapiens.
>> DENNIN: We are constantly
still finding new
breakthroughs and either more
complete skeletons or a more
complete site.
If we look at the fossil record,
at some point eventually you
find common ancestors with
chimpanzees.
You go back really close and
you have Neanderthal and
Cro-Magnon man.
And we came out of Cro-Magnon
man, and the Neanderthals die
out.
And it's a really interesting
mystery to try and piece
together why were we more
successful than they were.
>> VON DANIKEN: We are the only
one who came out of the family
tree with culture.
Why?
Evolution says by coincidence.
We have adapted as best.
I say no.
It was an artificial mutation
made out of the family tree.
>> TSOUKALOS: And then
overnight, we were building
pyramids, Sumeria was created,
all those different high
achievements were done
virtually overnight.
So this quantum leap in
development, this big bang of
knowledge or intelligence, all
of a sudden happened.
And the ancient astronaut
theory suggests that this is a
direct result of
extraterrestrials tampering
with our DNA.
So we're half human and half
extraterrestrial.
We're hybrids.
>> WILCOCK: We have an
incredible wealth of
information, in stone, preserved
from ancient times, that can
lead us in a direction of
really knowing that the ancient
ancestors of modern humans were
not simply born on Earth but
came here from somewhere else.
>> NARRATOR: But if
extraterrestrials arrived here
in the distant past, who were
they?
And why did they come here?
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe answers exist in early
Sumerian texts.
In 1849, British archaeologist
Austen Henry Layard discovered
22,000 clay tablets in the
ancient Sumerian city of
Nineveh, in an area now known
as Iraq.
The tablets contain cuneiform
script, believed to be the
earliest writing system, created
by the Sumerians 6,000 years
ago.
>> NARRATOR: Author Zecharia
Sitchin spent more than 30 years
translating these Sumerian clay
tablets.
In his 1976 book The 12th
Planet, Sitchin claims the
cuneiform texts describe an
alien race named the Anunnaki,
who came to Earth from an
undiscovered planet in our
solar system beyond Neptune
called Nibiru.
>> JASON MARTELL: They explained
to the Sumerians that through
their own rise to a
technological culture, they
damaged their atmosphere.
And they came here seeking gold
and precious elements to repair
their planet's dwindling
atmosphere.
>> NARRATOR: According to
Sitchin, the Anunnaki first
visited Earth 450,000 years ago,
during the age of Neanderthals.
And they created Homo sapiens
through genetic engineering to
create a species to work and
mine precious minerals for them.
>> VON DANIKEN: Our forefathers
believed that they were gods.
And they were here on purpose.
They wanted to make our
primitive generation, at that
time, intelligent.
They wanted to plant curiosity
into our brain.
And we became more developed in
technology, in astronomy, in
every field.
That's what they wanted.
The question is: why?
>> BRAMLEY: When you look at
the ancient creation stories,
you find that what they said
about our position as Homo
sapiens is that we were
created to be a slave race, or
a work race.
>> NARRATOR: According to
Sitchin's interpretation of the
ancient tablets, the human
civilization in Sumer was set
up under the guidance of the
Anunnaki.
And to disguise alien
manipulation, human kings were
inaugurated to provide
intermediaries between mankind
and their so-called gods.
Then, around 3,000 B.C.,
humans began building stone
monuments, such as Stonehenge
and the Egyptian pyramids.
For mainstream historians, the
physical ability and know-how
to construct these megalithic
sites remains a mystery.
But ancient astronaut theorists
contend that megaton stone
monuments were erected by human
laborers aided with alien
technology.
>> TSOUKALOS: And what do the
ancient texts say about ancient
Sumeria?
That none of this could've been
possible without the help of
the gods, or in their case, the
Anunnaki, which means "those
who from the heavens came."
>> MARTELL: Many cultures had a
time when they interacted with
their living gods.
So who were those gods?
In my mind, they were
misrepresented advanced
extraterrestrials, and they
brought forth the technology to
build the monuments we see, such
as Giza or all across Bolivia,
Peru and South America.
>> NARRATOR: Sitchin's
interpretations of the Sumerian
tablets further claim the
ancient Anunnaki astronauts
carried out breeding
experiments to improve the
species of laborers.
But to keep the human
population at bay and correct
genetic mistakes, the aliens
orchestrated so-called
natural catastrophes.
(thunder rumbling)
>> MARTELL: The Anunnaki saw
the Neanderthal man naturally
evolving here on Earth and just
decided to put their genetic
marker on it.
Meaning, they took 80% of
their genes and 20% of
the hominoid that was here and
created us in their image and
after their likeness.
>> WILCOCK: And this was
essentially when modern
humanity was born and starts
to show up in the fossil record.
It wasn't until 75,000 years
ago that you have this super
volcano that goes off in Lake
Toba.
And in the aftermath of that
great cataclysm, it appears that
we went through further genetic
modifications.
Very, very powerful E.T.'s
came in and upgraded our DNA.
>> NOORY: They probably figured,
"You know, there's something
wrong with this species."
So, they probably create these
disasters like the flood.
And then of course, there's
always that biblical
perspective, and people believe
God did it.
Well, God could have been the
extraterrestrials, could have
created that somehow.
It's very possible and very
likely that in order to
eradicate a species, that they
may have genetically altered
themselves and screwed up with,
that they needed to get rid of
them and start all over again.
>> TSOUKALOS: The ultimate
proof for the ancient
astronaut theory will not be in
a megalithic site.
It won't be finding a crashed
spaceship.
But it will be found deep
within our genes.
And that is exactly what the
ancient texts are saying--
that we were created
in the image of the gods.
>> NARRATOR: Though more than
20,000 genes have been
identified in the human genome,
scientists worldwide have only
begun to understand the origins
of man.
As geneticists continue to
study our DNA, might they find
traces of an alien species in
our genes?
And if Homo sapiens were
genetically engineered by
aliens, might they continue
to shape our existence?
>> NARRATOR: Elbert County,
Georgia.
Four 18-foot-tall granite
stones form a mysterious
monument some call the American
Stonehenge.
Engraved in the giant stones
in 12 languages are ten
guides or commandments
suggesting how to rebuild
civilization after the
apocalypse.
Known as the Georgia Guide
Stones, the monument was built
in 1979 by an unknown man going
by the pseudonym
"R.C. Christian."
>> BRAMLEY: Some people have a
theory that whoever put those
guide stones up was either a
Freemason or that the name
R.C. Christian was really a way
to parrot the fictional founder
of Rosicrucianism centuries
earlier.
When you trace them back
to the ancient gods who
wore the same symbolic aprons,
they were the ancient aliens
that we now talk about.
>> NARRATOR: Was the monument
secretly built by followers of
Rosicrucianism; an ancient
society of mystics and
philosophers who were inspired
by the religions of the
Far East?
If so, might the stones contain
coded messages intended to
prepare us for the imminent
apocalypse?
Perhaps.
But to some ancient astronaut
theorists, warnings of an
impending apocalypse are meant
to caution human beings against
the very real prospect of an
alien invasion...
or worse.
Perhaps the examination,
vivisection and eventual
annihilation of all human
life on our planet.
Since the late 19th century,
modern reports of aliens
abducting and probing humans
have numbered in the tens
of thousands.
Researcher David M. Jacobs
has spent more than 40 years
studying so-called abductees
and their alien encounters
through the use of hypnosis.
>> JACOBS: The preponderance
of evidence of person after
person saying the same thing
to me, things that I could never
have imagined being thought
up... then I began to realize,
"Oh, my God, this is
actually happening."
And I was dumbstruck by the fact
that this was convincing
evidence.
>> BRAMLEY: What Dr. Jacobs
has reported is that what the
aliens seem to have been doing
for these least 40 years,
perhaps longer, is that when
they abduct people, it's not
just an experiment.
They are actually engaged in a
very intense, very involved
program of genetic breeding
where they are breeding hybrids.
The abductees that he's been
talking to-- according to him--
have gotten to the point of this
massive program of creating
hybrids where now the hybrids
look like us quite a bit.
But behaviorally,
psychologically, they are
still alien.
>> NARRATOR: Jacobs claims
alien-human hybrids can
communicate telepathically and
dictate human thoughts
neurologically.
>> JACOBS: These beings can
put ideas, images in
people's minds quite easily.
Therefore, what people describe
is that they can be controlled
on a number of different
levels by the minds of
these other beings.
>> NARRATOR: Since 2003,
abductees have supposedly been
reporting to Jacobs that the
hybrids were being integrated
into society, unnoticed by
humans.
>> BRAMLEY: To me, this is
possible evidence of the plan to
do another thinning; to kind of
make room for this new jump from
modern Homo sapiens to whatever
we're gonna call this new
Homo sapiens.
That is the potential future
apocalypse involving the alien
presence.
And that's where I see some
danger signs.
>> JACOBS: Some people think
that these beings are
benevolent, that they are here
to help us, to stop war, cure
cancer, that they are here for
reasons that have everything to
do with us and very little to do
with them.
I don't see benevolence here.
I don't see malevolence.
But I see the furthering of an
alien agenda of which we do not
know the future.
>> BULLARD: Some people
have theorized that the
creation of an alien hybrid
race might be a way of
accomplishing a better age
on Earth.
And there are some abductees
who even bring back predictions
that there will be a time
called "The Change" when
there will be aliens and humans
living together on Earth as
if it were a return of the age
of paradise.
There are others who think
that they are coming to
create a better Earth.
Some think they are coming to
take over the Earth.
>> JACOBS: We really don't know
the alien agenda.
We do know that they have been
telling abductees for a long
time that soon everybody will
be happy.
Soon everyone will know
their place.
Soon we will all be together.
>> TSOUKALOS: This has been
going on for thousands
of years with the creation of
Homo sapiens.
I mean, from the very get-go.
So to suggest that now is the
time where, you know, a new
hybrid extraterrestrial
Homo sapiens will emerge in this
new age of consciousness...
No, no, it won't.
We already are hybrids.
We already are part
extraterrestrial and part human.
>> NARRATOR: Human and alien
hybrids?
Extraterrestrial engineering
designed to weed out excessive
population growth?
Or perhaps to exterminate
inferior genetic strains?
Might geological catastrophes
and meteorological calamities
be the work of unseen,
perhaps alien, hands?
For skeptics, the answer is a
resounding "No."
But with the end of the Mayan
calendar looming in 2012, could
all of our questions about the
alien agenda finally be
answered?
Perhaps only those of us who
survive on that date will
ever learn the truth.
