All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens s07e02 The Tesla Experiment.eng

NARRATOR: He is the man
who harnessed lightning.

MARC SEIFER: He really is
the quintessential wizard.

NARRATOR: He envisioned new
technologies far before their time.

ARIEL BAR TZADOK: These images
would burst into his mind.

NARRATOR: He also claimed to have
contact with otherworldly beings.

DAVID CHILDRESS: You have to
wonder if extraterrestrials

themselves weren't
feeding him information.

NARRATOR: Nikola Tesla is
considered one of the most

innovative and mysterious men
who ever lived, but was he

simply a mad genius, or might
his brilliance have had

extraterrestrial origins?

DAVID WILCOCK: He was actually
being communicated with

by extraterrestrials, and
publicly proclaimed this.

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?

And if so, is there a connection
to the genius of Nikola Tesla?

NARRATOR: New York City.

January 7, 1943.

Famed inventor Nikola Tesla
dies of a heart attack on the

thirty-third floor of
the Hotel New Yorker.

Within hours of his body being
discovered, his nephew arrives

at room 3327, and discovers
Tesla's remains, as well as his

technical papers and notebooks,
have already been removed.

Speculation spreads that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation

had seized the items and quickly
designated them "top secret."

WILCOCK: Nikola Tesla was
completely paranoid about

someone trying to kill him,
and as soon as he died, U.S.

government agents swooped in
and confiscated all of his

scientific papers.

In a very short time, everything
that he had been guarding with

this life was gone.

NICK REDFERN: The official
story is that nothing of any

great significance was found.

It was just a lot of scientific
papers and documents.

However, there have been a lot
of rumors over the years that

the materials recovered was
profoundly significant in terms

of a lot of highly-advanced
scientific concepts.

NARRATOR: Just who was this
mysterious figure known as

"Tesla", and why would his
notebooks elicit so much

interest from the United
States government?

(thunder rumbling)

The life of Nikola Tesla was a
dramatic one from the very beginning.

(thunder rumbling)

(clock bell chimes)

He was born at the stroke of
midnight on July 10, 1856,

during a violent lightning
storm in what is now Croatia.

(thunder rumbling)

SEIFER: It was during an
electrical storm, and the

midwife saw this as a bad omen.

But there was a flash of
lightning, and Tesla's mother

said, "No, this will
be a child" of light."

TIM SWARTZ: At an early age, Nikola
Tesla showed a superior mind.

He was already inventing things.

He invented toys that used
insects to power them.

But he was fascinated
by thunderstorms.

And, but he would
see the lightning.

He became fascinated
with electricity.

And he was determined that he
was going to harness the power

of the earth and the universe
for the benefit of mankind.

NARRATOR: In 1881, after eight
years studying physics,

math and engineering at
universities in Graz, Austria

and Prague, Tesla became an
electrical engineer for a

telephone company in Budapest.

Three years later, the
28-year-old moved to the United

States, and took a job in New York
City, working for Thomas Edison.

But very quickly, the two would
become rivals in what became

known as "the war
of the" currents."

SEIFER: In a sense, you
have dueling wizards.

Edison was performing with
direct current, Tesla came along

with alternating current,
competing to win the right to

harness Niagara Falls.

That was the big prize.

If you harness Niagara Falls,
you control all the power for

the entire Northeast.

(electrical hissing)

NARRATOR: In Edison's direct
current distribution system, the

steady stream of electricity
would lose potency as it

traveled down the line.

This required power plants every
half mile, and could only supply

enough power to light bulbs.

(hissing)

Tesla designed a far more
sophisticated system, utilizing

alternating current, which could
easily be manipulated along

the way, allowing for not only
light bulbs to be powered,

but also other electric devices.

Using Niagara Falls as a
hydroelectric power source,

Tesla's system could illuminate
the entire Northeast.

SEIFER: It would be like comparing
a horse and buggy to a jet plane.

Tesla had the jet plane.

Edison had the horse and buggy.

There is no comparison at all.

Tesla had a quantum leap ahead.

NARRATOR: Edison criticized
Tesla's model as highly

dangerous in an effort to
ensure that his system won out.

He even went so far as holding
public demonstrations using

alternating current to
electrocute cats and dogs...

(electrical buzzing)

and even a rogue elephant.

But Nikola Tesla's superior
A/C power system ultimately

prevailed, and today, it still
remains the foundation of the

world's power grid.

JOHN BRANDENBURG: Tesla
allowed the world to be

electrified, and not only that,
he brought electricity from

being kind of a useful thing to
being a universal thing that

could be used all
throughout society.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Nikola
Tesla is one of the most amazing

geniuses mankind has ever known.

His ideas went far and beyond
what was accepted at the time.

If it hadn't been for Tesla,
we would be living in very

different times.

NARRATOR: But Nikola Tesla not only
officially electrified the world.

(train horn toots)

His legacy includes groundbreaking
work on electric railroads,

fluorescent and neon lights, wireless
radio communications, X-ray...

remote control... turbine engines...
speedometers... helicopters...

and even torpedoes.

By the time of his death, Tesla
held nearly 700 worldwide patents.

GEORGE NOORY: Nikola Tesla was one
of the world's greatest inventors.

Tesla was like
Leonardo da Vinci.

He had the mind of a futurist, and
he was able to do incredible things.

NARRATOR: During Nikola
Tesla's time, the Industrial

Revolution was
firmly taking hold.

Factories, using steam and coal
power, replaced manual labor.

Hundreds of thousands of miles
of railway and roads were built,

dramatically changing the
landscape of society.

But this extraordinary
innovation came at a price... a

complete disregard
for the environment.

SWARTZ: Nikola Tesla said
that there was a difference

between progress and technology.

Progress benefits mankind.

Technology does not
necessarily do that.

If you have a technology that is polluting
the planet, that's not progress.

NARRATOR: But just how is it
that Nikola Tesla was so far

ahead of his time?

For decades, the
forward-thinking inventor...

a man shrouded in mystery... has
fascinated scholars and researchers.

SEIFER: Tesla came from a
very strange area... actually

wasn't too far
from Transylvania.

He was tall and thin.

He spoke 11 or 12
different languages.

And he does these fantastic
inventions and fantastic

performances, so he had
this mystique about him.

TZADOK: Nikola Tesla is born at
a time which, coincidentally,

coincides with an ancient
Zoharic prophecy that speaks

about the opening of the gates
of wisdom upon the earth.

And who's born at this time?

Nikola Tesla.

Albert Einstein.

This is the beginning
of so many things.

NARRATOR: But could there
really be something more to the

prophecies, rumors and wild
speculations surrounding Nikola Tesla?

Something, perhaps,
even otherworldly?

JASON MARTELL: Throughout
history, there have been various

prophets and scientists that have
really affected the human evolution.

Like Einstein, Galileo,
Copernicus, and Tesla's

definitely one of
these type of people.

We have to wonder if these
people aren't somehow involved

in some larger plan of influence
on humanity as a whole.

CHILDRESS: Some researchers
into Tesla think that he was

some kind of special human
receiver, and if that's the

case, then we have someone who
the ETs were helping to move

along and develop the amazing
inventions that light the world today.

WILCOCK: Is it possible that
Tesla knew he was on a mission?

Was he attempting to uplevel our
technology to the point at which

we would be capable of having
all of the abilities of those

who, in ancient times,
were called the gods?

NARRATOR: Is it possible, as
some ancient astronaut theorists

suggest, that Nikola Tesla was being
influenced by extraterrestrials?

Extraterrestrials on a
mission to advance mankind?

Perhaps answers can be found
by further examining the

inspiration behind one of
Tesla's greatest achievements.

NARRATOR: Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology is home to some of

the world's greatest minds.

M.I.T. researchers are on the
forefront of innovation,

including the development of
wireless transmission of power.

Efficient wireless transmission
of electricity has eluded

scientists for years.

Radio waves, microwaves and even
laser-beam transmission of power

have fallen short.

But in 2007, M.I.T. researchers
were able to safely transmit

power wirelessly seven
feet across a room...

a feat heralded as a first step
to cutting the power cord.

Incredibly, a word in which all
electrical devices would be

automatically powered at all
times, requiring no charging or

wires, was envisioned more than a
century earlier by inventor Nikola Tesla.

And by some accounts, he was close
to actually achieving that goal.

THOMAS VALONE: The ideas of
Tesla for wireless power have

only been, um, briefly investigated
by various scientists.

And the tests that were done
by Tesla in 1899 to 1900

in Colorado Springs verify
the fact that the use of

wireless was actually possible.

SEIFER: Tesla went out to
Colorado Springs to see if he

could send electricity several
miles, which is a tremendous

achievement, but he
had a huge tower.

It was 200 feet to the top.

His assistant was located at the
laboratory and Tesla said, "When"

I give you the signal, I want
you to throw the switch and

fire up the wireless system.

And Tesla probably
walked four miles away.

NARRATOR: Tesla inserted
light bulbs into the earth to

see if his tower was in fact
creating a wireless circuit with

the ground.

If so, the bulbs would light up.

SEIFER: These light bulbs were
being lit, so he was able

to establish that he could
transmit electrical power over

great distances.

But he did keep it a secret.

He even kept the mechanics a
secret from his assistant, who

didn't totally know all the
details of what he was doing.

NARRATOR: Shoreham, New York.
1901.

Tesla convinces banker J.P.

Morgan to give him $150,000 for the
construction of a radio station.

But instead, he uses the money
to build a giant wireless

transmitter he calls
Wardenclyffe Tower.

SEIFER: Wardenclyffe was 187

feet to the top, but it also went
120 feet down into the ground.

And Tesla had envisioned
receiving stations, which would

look just like the Wardenclyffe
Tower at different nodal points

around the Earth.

He would jump energy by means of
wireless from station to station.

He even thought that he could
eventually use the same system

to jump power to
different planets.

NARRATOR: But Tesla's dream of
creating a highly efficient

broadcast of wireless
electricity was cut short when

in 1904, its funder J.P.
Morgan discovered Tesla's true

intentions to provide free power
to everyone on the planet.

With lack of additional funding,
by 1908, the project was

completely abandoned.

And in 1917, the tower
was demolished.

REDFERN: No company, no
corporation wants to give away

its technology freely.

So Tesla was shut down, so that the
world wouldn't have free energy.

NARRATOR: But just how was
Tesla able to transmit

electricity wirelessly for
several miles when modern

scientists can only
manage seven feet?

Tesla credited his many
inventions to the ability to

realize them entirely
in his mind.

He also described experiencing
intense flashes of light, which

were followed by moments of
intense creativity and clarity.

SCHWARTZ: He would see an
invention appear before his eyes

in almost holographic detail.

He said that he could rotate
these visions, take them apart

piece by piece, and he knew
exactly how he was going to

build these inventions based
on his visionary experiences.

SEIFER: One of his greatest
creations is the rotating

magnetic field, and that came
in a flash of intuition.

He felt that we were receivers,
that all impulses came from the

outside, and that we
worked on these impulses.

So, he doesn't believe that they
come from dreams or inner visions.

He really felt that we were, in
a sense, self-propelled robots.

NARRATOR: Some ancient
astronaut theorists believe

there may be another explanation
for Tesla's uncanny abilities

and mysterious visions.

They suggest these spontaneous
episodes are proof that Tesla

was receiving information
from an otherworldly source.

TZADOK: These images would
literally burst into his mind.

Somehow, somewhere, some
connection was made.

And it's the same way the biblical
prophets received their prophecy.

Nikola Tesla was clearly
in touch with something.

CHILDRESS: You have to wonder
if extraterrestrials themselves

weren't feeding him images of
inventions that only he could

understand.

SWARTZ: Nikola Tesla felt
there was a knowledge base,

located somewhere in the
universe, that all of humanity

could tap into if they just knew
how to properly tune their mind

to this knowledge base.

NARRATOR: Is it possible Nikola
Tesla was actually being

fed images to assist him
in furthering mankind?

And if so, could Tesla have
tapped into an ancient source of

knowledge, perhaps even
rediscovering technology that

may have been used before.

TSOUKALOS: We have these
stories of towers that might

have relayed energy... like the
obelisks that we can find all

around the world... that they, at
some point, were all connected

and that they were feeding off
the Earth's magnetic grid.

SWARTZ: It's been discovered,
in ancient Egyptian temples and

tombs, carvings that look
suspiciously like modern-day

light bulbs and Tesla coils.

CHILDRESS: Was there a certain
technology, an energy

system of ancient times that we
still have remnants of today?

Giant pyramids, obelisks, huge
standing stones and towers...

Perhey were all part of some
extraterrestrial, huge energy system.

NARRATOR: Was Tesla's
Wardenclyffe Tower meant to

connect to an ancient energy
grid powered not only by the

Earth, but eventually by
other planets, as well?

And if so, is it possible Nikola
Tesla was communicating with

advanced celestial beings that visited
Earth thousands of years ago?

Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining the mysterious

radio transmissions Tesla claimed
he received from outer space.

(thunder crashes)

NARRATOR: Colorado Springs.
July, 1899.

While testing a magnifying
transmitter he built to track

storms, Nikola Tesla claims
he received some sort of

transmission from
an unknown source.

(thunder crashes)

SEIFER: One night, he was tracking
thunderstorms 600 miles away.

But all of a sudden,
he heard these beeps.

(three chiming sounds)

And it was three
beats in sequence.

And so it was mathematical and
it didn't make any sense to him.

And the more he thought about
it, he thought that they came

from outer space, perhaps
from the Martians.

(three chiming sounds)

BRANDENBURG: Mars' orbit
brings it close to the Earth

periodically, about
once every 1.8 years.

And at one of those close
encounters, uh, he believed

he was picking up
signals from Mars.

VALONE: He most likely had
made a receiver that was

sensitive enough to receive radio
waves, as we now know come

from galaxies and-and lots of
different extraterrestrial sources.

So he interpreted them
as signals from ETs.

But perhaps he had an open
channel that we really still

don't understand today.

SEIFER: Tesla believed it's
absurd to think we're the only

intelligent beings
in the universe.

If that's the case, where are
they in the intelligence

hierarchy and why wouldn't they
want to communicate with an

intelligent force on the Earth?

NARRATOR: Tesla reported this
otherworldly communication and

proclaimed his belief in
extraterrestrials in February of

1901, in an article for
Collier's Weekly titled

"Talking with the Planets."

SWARTZ: Tesla became obsessed
with trying to receive, uh,

further, uh, radio communications,
uh, from other planets.

Based on these transmissions
that Tesla was receiving, he

developed a theory that this
extraterrestrial presence had

been on Earth for a millennia.

That these extraterrestrials had
been controlling mankind from

the very beginning.

WILCOCK: How far did
these communications go?

Did it lead to the point where
he was actually able to receive

useful information that was
helping him build his inventions?

Many believe that this is what
happened and that Tesla had

direct contact, through the
things he'd invented, with

extraterrestrial intelligence.

NARRATOR: But the shocking
revelation was shunned by

Tesla's scientific peers and led
many to deem him "a mad" scientist."

BRANDENBURG: So you have
Nikola Tesla electrifying the

world, literally.

Then, about the time that he had
a falling-out with, uh, J.P.

Morgan, a very powerful man...
he'd also had a legendary

falling-out with Edison, another
legendary, powerful man.

Then it came out that he was
trying to, perhaps, signal the

planet Mars.

And his enemies exploited
this, uh, I think, to try and

discredit him.

NARRATOR: In the early 1900s,
it was rumored that Tesla was

being considered to
receive the Nobel Prize.

But, mysteriously, he never did.

SEIFER: Even today, scientists
don't take him into

account the way they should.

Tesla talked about atoms working
like solar systems, and that

light could work as a
wave and a particle.

Einstein got a Nobel Prize for
saying light worked like a

particle, and Bohr and
Rutherford got a Nobel Prize for

saying that atoms were
like little solar systems.

So why is he removed from the
history of quantum physics when

he really belongs
at the heart of it?

So I think he's been unfairly
treated by the physicists, and

part of the reason is his
attachment to extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Was Nikola Tesla
simply letting his imagination

get the better of him?

Or is it possible he really was
in contact with extraterrestrial

beings?

Belgrade, Serbia.

Housing more than 160,000

documents, the Nikola Tesla
Museum offers rare insight into

some of Tesla's future plans...
including what some believe are

drawings of spaceships.

According to historians, Tesla
began work on his flying machine

in 1910, focusing on the use of
field propulsion, or anti-gravity.

It is believed Tesla had
discovered that high amounts of

electricity could actually
create lift in an object.

CHILDRESS: Throughout the
1920s and '30s, Tesla

continually talked about
anti-gravity ships that could

derive power from his
Wardenclyffe Towers that were

gonna be broadcasting power.

He claimed these ships did
not have wings or fuel.

They were completely electric.

NARRATOR: But were Tesla's designs
truly the first of their kind?

Or is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,

that similar vehicles had
already visited the planet in

the remote past?

TSOUKALOS: In the ancient Indian
epics, the Vedas, we find

references of "vimanas," those
flying chariots that were used

by the gods in order to travel
from point "A" to point "B."

Some of these vimanas were able
to alter direction at the drop

of a hat, without any effort.

So, now, reading this from a
modern-day perspective would

suggest that some type of
anti-gravity device was used.

You can link this from the
ancient to the modern world with

the modern UFO phenomenon.

And so the idea that Tesla might
have worked on an anti-gravity

device is very plausible to me.

NARRATOR: Are the depictions
of flying machines in ancient

Hindu texts like the Mahabharata
really proof that Tesla had

received otherworldly knowledge
in order to design anti-gravity

spaceships?

And if the so-called "mad"

"scientist" actually did make
contact with extraterrestrials,

is it possible he continued to
carry out their wishes in secret?

NARRATOR: Palo Alto, California; 2013.

A Silicon Valley start-up's
all-electric sports car wins

Motor Trend's Car of the Year.

It's one of the most
fuel-efficient vehicles on the

planet, produces no emissions and
can go from zero to 60 miles

per hour in four seconds.

The Model S energizes the
electric car industry and

reintroduces its namesake to
the world stage... Tesla.

CHILDRESS: It's interesting
to think in 1931, Tesla told

reporters that he had converted
a Pierce-Arrow car into a

completely electric car.

Tesla showed them the car.

He drove it around.

It went as fast as
90 miles per hour.

When you look at it, many of the
inventions that Tesla talked

about, and even patented,
were eventually developed.

NARRATOR: The list of
technologies that can be traced

back to the drawing board
of Nikola Tesla is endless.

Modern humanoid robotics,
solar and wind power, weather

manipulation, drones and even
planetary exploration vehicles.

Getting as little as just two
hours of sleep per day, the

inventor's sole purpose on Earth
appeared to be geared toward one

end: advancing technology for
the future of the human race.

SEIFER: He always had
his eye on the future.

And further, he was trying to
shape the future through his

inventions.

TZADOK: Mr. Tesla was
not unique in this.

Many of the founders, leaders,
of religion also were compelled

by inner experiences, which
pushed them to materialize these

things in the world.

So, in a religious context,
we would say that a religious

leader is in touch
with something divine.

In a scientific context, we
wouldn't necessarily use the

word "divine," but yet, somehow,
somewhere, people are being

contacted, receiving
communications which are leading

to the clear introduction
of new things in humanity.

MARTELL: Tesla seemed to have
this drive that put everything

else by the wayside.

When he was working on an
invention, food, sleep,

relationships, human interaction...
none of that mattered.

It's almost as if he was
on some type of a mission.

A mission, possibly, with
a greater plan, under the

influence of extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Was Nikola Tesla
really inspired to invent by an

extraterrestrial source, as some
ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

And if so, might further clues
be found in what some believe to

be the rantings of a "mad man"?

By the time Nikola Tesla moved
into his final home... the Hotel

New Yorker... in January 1934,
he had become better known for

his eccentricities
than his inventions.

He reportedly was an extreme
germaphobe, preferred to work in

almost complete darkness and was
also obsessed with the number three.

SEIFER: Tesla was definitely
interested in numerology.

And he was very superstitious.

He had to circle a building
three times before he entered.

He had calculated nodal points
around the planet and they were

probably linked to the
numbers three, six and nine.

And he said that the numbers
were very important.

WILCOCK: Nikola Tesla was
quoted as saying, "If you knew"

the magnificence of the three,
six and nine, you would have a

"key to the universe."

If we go to the Great Pyramid
of Giza, not only are there the

three larger pyramids at Giza,
all side by side, mirroring the

positions of the stars in
Orion's Belt, but we also see a

group of three smaller pyramids
immediately away from the three

larger pyramids.

Three and three.

Similarly, we find lots of
evidence that nature uses

threefold and sixfold symmetry,
including the hexagonal tile

shape of the common honeycomb.

These shapes are in nature, and
the ancients emulated these

shapes in the building of
their sacred architecture.

So Tesla's quote is neatly
mirrored in the actual

archaeological evidence that
we find in many ancient

architectural sites
around the world.

NARRATOR: Could the numbers
three, six and nine really offer

clues to the inner
workings of the universe?

If so, is it possible that Tesla
uncovered this profound secret

and used this knowledge to push
the boundaries of science and

technology?

Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining Tesla's most

controversial invention.

NARRATOR: New York City.

July 1934.

On his 78th birthday, Nikola
Tesla makes headlines on the

front page of the New York Times
for his alleged "death beam."

According to the article, the
weapon could generate enough

energy to bring down a fleet of
10,000 enemy airplanes as far as

250 miles away.

BRANDENBURG: Tesla apparently
discovered that he could direct

a stream of plasma plus solid
particles for long distances

through the air and kind of
direct a lightning bolt.

And he called this a death ray.

NOORY: Tesla wanted to invent a
machine that would knock out

enemy aircraft in the air.

You would point it to the skies,
turn it on and all of the sudden

those planes would
just fall like that.

SEIFER: Tesla felt that if
every country had a particle

beam weapon, then no country
would ever be invaded, because

planes would be shot down
and ships would be sunk.

So he was trying to sell this
particle beam weapon to the U.S.

government during World War II.

And I think Franklin Roosevelt
was basically looking at two

possibilities.

Einstein was discussing the
possibility of an atom bomb.

Tesla was discussing the possibility
of a particle beam weapon.

And it turned out the atom bomb
was able to be invented...

and that's the way they went.

NARRATOR: Although the death
ray announcement failed to

ignite interest by the U.S.

War Department, some say other
innovative work by Tesla did

catch their attention.

Earlier in his career, while
conducting research with

one of his transformer coils,
Nikola Tesla had a near-death

experience when he came in
contact with a resonating

electromagnetic charge of three
and a half million volts.

SEIFER: Tesla was working
with 60-foot lightning bolts,

and he made a mistake, and he
almost got electrocuted, and he

couldn't get out, and he had to
get one of his workers to stop

the lightning from happening.

And he barely escaped with his
life, and because of a shock

that he had, he
had a revelation.

CHILDRESS: Tesla said that
he entered a-a state of

timelessness, and he could see
the past and the future and the

present all at once in this
mystic vision, but he was

paralyzed and he couldn't
do anything about it.

Tesla was being, essentially,
electrocuted, and right then his

assistant cut the power to him.

But what Tesla said it had done was
moved him through time and space.

NARRATOR: But is it really
possible Tesla had found a way

to break through the
space-time continuum?

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer might be

found by looking at what
has become known as the

"Philadelphia Experiment."

According to reports, right
before Tesla's death,

he was working with Albert
Einstein and the United States

Navy at the Philadelphia
Naval Yard to create an

electromagnetically charged
invisibility cloak for the

USS Eldridge.

BRANDENBURG: They were attempting
to do a stealth technology.

And apparently, they mounted a
bunch of Tesla coils to make a

bunch of plasma around a ship,
and this is well known to help

hide things from radar.

But something very
unexpected happened.

The ship didn't just
disappear from radar.

It disappeared completely and
reappeared with some of the

crew actually embedded in
the metal of the ship.

NARRATOR: Although mainstream
scientists believe the so-called

Philadelphia Experiment is a
hoax, some insist the account is

authentic.

WILCOCK: We have leaked testimony
from classified levels

of secrecy in the U.S.

government the Philadelphia
Experiment was real, that the

soldiers on that ship got
disoriented, and they ended up

walking into the hull.

And when the ship then
rematerialized in our reality,

their bodies melded with
the metal in the hull.

NARRATOR: Had Tesla really
discovered a way to travel

through time and space?

If so, might the secrets behind
this technology, along with the

blueprints for Tesla's death
beam, have been included in the

scientific documents that the
FBI allegedly confiscated upon

his death?

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe evidence of this might

be found with the modern world's
most sophisticated new weaponry.

NARRATOR: The Singapore Airshow.

February 2014.

An Israeli arms company known as
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems

reveals details of a laser
defense system capable of

shooting missiles from the
sky with a pulse of energy.

The futuristic military
hardware is called Iron Beam.

REDFERN: The concept of Iron
Beam is that it's essentially a

high-energy laser that is
designed to rapidly heat up the

target that it's aimed at.

We're talking about
aircraft, drones, missiles.

Anything that could launch
an attack on a city could be

literally destroyed in
the sky by Iron Beam.

This sounds very much
like Tesla's death ray.

CHILDRESS: This is exactly
the kind of technology that

Tesla was talking about in the
1920s and '30s, of using these

beam weapons to shoot down
missiles and projectiles.

WILCOCK: The War Department
sided with Einstein and

Oppenheimer's atomic
bomb, not with Tesla.

But now what we're seeing is
that Israel is developing this

Iron Beam technology because
they've realized that atomic

weapons were far
too destructive.

Is it possible that Tesla
developed a time-viewing or

time travel technology, and
that he became aware of

these developments?

NARRATOR: Tesla was once quoted
as saying, "The present"

is theirs, but the future for which
I have really worked is "mine."

Did Tesla, in fact,
see into the future?

Might Iron Beam be proof that
plans for the death ray not

only existed, but also may
have even been confiscated

and carried out by the
United States government?

There are those who believe
that Nikola Tesla was not only

in contact with
extraterrestrials, but was sent

here to Earth by them to fulfill
a mission and usher in a new age

for mankind.

SEIFER: One of the big
questions is: Who is Tesla?

Is he, in a sense, an avatar,
an enlightened being that comes

to the Earth to help humans?

No one really knows exactly
what's going on, but I think all

great artists... and Tesla saw
himself as an artist... feel that

they're instruments of a higher
purpose, and Tesla certainly

felt that he was working
along those lines.

TZADOK: There is an
agenda for humanity.

There is a plan.

And in every generation,
whatever power it is that's

behind the plan sends to Earth
certain specific souls who are,

by birth, more inclined and able
to be receptors to the higher

knowledge.

CHILDRESS: You have to wonder
if Tesla was transplanted to

Earth by extraterrestrials in
order to envision and invent all

of these amazing devices.

WILCOCK: If extraterrestrials
put Tesla in place for a

specific purpose, did they accomplish
what they hoped to achieve?

The answer may be no, because
if Tesla's technologies

had been openly acknowledged
here on Earth, we could have

greened the deserts.

We could be desalinating ocean water
with table top energy levels.

We could have a totally new and
different world in which we

don't have to pay for energy,
in which we have anti-gravity

craft, in which we have
teleportation technology, and in

which we truly have become a
golden age here on Earth.

That has not happened.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that Nikola Tesla really was

influenced by
otherworldly beings?

Might he have been inspired to
carry out an extraterrestrial

experiment, as some ancient
astronaut theorists suggest?

And could it be that
mankind was not ready to

receive this advanced knowledge?

Perhaps, but if such an
audacious notion is true, then

is it possible that we are now
on the threshold of completing

his experiment, and in doing so,
might we reconnect not only

with Tesla's genius, but with
an alien intelligence that

stretches throughout the galaxy?
