117 00:06:46,583 --> 00:06:49,208 Well, there's only one answer to this, 118 00:06:49,292 --> 00:06:51,333 and that is extraterrestrials. 119 00:06:51,458 --> 00:06:55,833 Could the legends of the Tuatha Dรฉ Danann be describing 120 00:06:55,917 --> 00:07:00,167 otherworldly beings that once inhabited the Isle of Man? 121 00:07:00,250 --> 00:07:04,792 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining UFO sightings 122 00:07:04,875 --> 00:07:08,833 that have been reported on the island for centuries. 123 00:07:08,917 --> 00:07:12,250 There have been reports of UFOs on the Isle of Man 124 00:07:12,375 --> 00:07:14,083 for a very long time. 125 00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:17,667 The peoples there, uh, still believe in them today. 126 00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:20,792 They still see them on a regular basis. 127 00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:25,583 And the common type of report is that strange lights 128 00:07:25,667 --> 00:07:29,708 move about for a period of time and then disappear. 129 00:07:29,792 --> 00:07:33,667 So you have to think really that Isle of Man 130 00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:38,833 was some kind of island that was chosen by the extraterrestrials. 131 00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:41,292 They would land their UFOs there. 132 00:07:41,375 --> 00:07:44,542 And, in fact, legends about UFOs 133 00:07:44,667 --> 00:07:48,042 and extraterrestrials continue on the island even to this day. 134 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,083 If you travel just 450 miles west of the Isle of Man, 135 00:07:56,167 --> 00:07:59,667 you will come upon the site of another mysterious island, 136 00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:01,583 but this one can't be visited 137 00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:05,417 because it reportedly vanished beneath the ocean. 138 00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,708 Number eight on our list: Hy-Brasil. 139 00:08:11,875 --> 00:08:14,083 The North Atlantic Ocean. 140 00:08:14,208 --> 00:08:17,500 200 miles off the western coast of Ireland 141 00:08:17,542 --> 00:08:21,042 lie open waters as far as the eye can see. 142 00:08:21,125 --> 00:08:25,083 But according to 14th century maps of the area, 143 00:08:25,167 --> 00:08:28,375 this is the location of a so-called phantom island 144 00:08:28,458 --> 00:08:30,167 known as Hy-Brasil. 145 00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:35,917 Hy-Brasil allegedly appeared and disappeared behind the mists. 146 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,917 It could never definitively be found. 147 00:08:39,042 --> 00:08:41,917 Although, the... its putative location 148 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,125 is marked on some of these early maps. 149 00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:49,708 Hy-Brasil was first recorded 150 00:08:49,792 --> 00:08:51,750 by the Italian-Majorcan cartographer 151 00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:56,125 Angelino de Dalorto in 1325, 152 00:08:56,208 --> 00:09:00,542 who described the island as being "a strikingly round form." 153 00:09:00,542 --> 00:09:05,333 Then in 1497, Italian explorer John Cabot 154 00:09:05,417 --> 00:09:07,667 reported reaching Hy-Brasil. 155 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:11,583 Other explorers of the time returned from the island 156 00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:15,000 with accounts of meeting beautiful, glowing people. 157 00:09:16,375 --> 00:09:20,167 Like a lot of other mythologies, such as Atlantis, 158 00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:25,042 Hy-Brasil was thought to be the source of, uh, civilization. 159 00:09:26,583 --> 00:09:30,833 And these people originated from the stars. 160 00:09:30,917 --> 00:09:35,542 They are the people that, uh, the human race descended from. 161 00:09:37,583 --> 00:09:39,875 Might Hy-Brasil have been a place 162 00:09:39,958 --> 00:09:43,250 where otherworldly beings landed on planet Earth 163 00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:45,250 and jump-started civilization?
