>> NARRATOR: Prehistoric

sculptures of reptilian

beings...

>> Something significant

happened.

Something that would alter our

understanding of human history.

>> NARRATOR: ...weird, elongated

skulls, nearly 4,000

years old...

>> It would seem that those

elongated skulls...

were people who were somehow

half‐alien, half‐human.

>> NARRATOR: ...and ancient

myths of small, grey beings with

large heads and black, oval

eyes.

>> There have been descriptions

of gray beings going back

hundreds, if not thousands

of years.

>> NARRATOR: All around the

planet, ancient evidence points

to strange, otherworldly

visitors.

>> This data suggests beyond a

shadow of a doubt that physical

extraterrestrials visited Earth

in the remote past.

>> 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, might science finally

reveal the truth behind the

mystery of the Greys.

>> NARRATOR: Roswell,

New Mexico.

July 3, 1947.

A flash of light streaks across

the sky...

and crashes in the desert near

the Roswell Army Airfield.

Rancher Mac Brazel hears the

impact and investigates the next

morning.

He reports what he finds to

authorities.

>> NICK REDFERN: The field of

debris was like nothing ever

seen before.

And the rancher reported finding

what looked like, initially,

foil‐like material that, when it

was scooped up and collected, it

had these strange properties,

like memory metal.

In other words, it would resume

its original shape when it was

crumpled up, if you like.

This sort of suggested the

possibility that something very

strange had come down at

Roswell.

>> JASON MARTELL: And they find

five alien bodies.

Alien because they do not look

human.

Using hermetically sealed,

smaller, coffin‐sized boxes,

these bodies were transported

and looked at, medically

analyzed, and then shipped off

to various areas of classified

research.

>> KEN STORCH: They're described

as the classical Grey, three and

a half, four feet tall, black

wrap‐around eyes, slits for a

mouth, long arms, depending on

which description, between three

and five fingers.

>> NARRATOR: At first, U. S.

military personnel announce that

they have recovered debris from

an unknown spacecraft.

But later, they reverse

themselves.

>> REDFERN: 'Cause 24 hours

later, the military completely

changed its story and said,

"Sorry, we made a big mistake.

It was just a weather balloon."

But, of course, no statement was

made as to how trained military

personnel couldn't tell the

difference between a flying

saucer and a weather balloon.

>> NARRATOR: But why did the

military change their story?

Was it because they found

something else, something

"otherworldly," as ancient

astronaut theorists believe.

>> GEORGE NOORY: People who

claim to have been associated

with the crash at Roswell claim

that there were several alien

bodies recovered.

It's very strange that they

would talk about beings.

We also know that the mortician

was called and that they were

asked to come up with small

little caskets.

Something obviously happened at

Roswell.

What was it exactly?

We really don't know, but I

think it was out of this world.

>> SABINA MAGLIOCCO: This is

kind of the core of the Roswell

legend.

Our government, which is, in a

democracy, supposed to be of the

people, by the people, for the

people, is covering this up.

The second thing that is

implicit in this legend is, of

course, that extraterrestrials

have been visiting the Earth.

>> NARRATOR: But if alien beings

did, in fact, crash at Roswell,

who are they and what do they

want?

September 19, 1961.

According to news accounts,

Betty and Barney Hill were

driving through New Hampshire

late at night when a large

flying saucer rapidly approached

them and then hovered over their

car.

They saw strange figures through

the windows of the craft.

And mysteriously, the couple

also reported complete memory

loss of the two hours

immediately following the

encounter.

>> MARTELL: No one really knows,

to this day, what Betty and

Barney Hill saw, however, the

details of their case do reflect

on various other versions of

alien abduction.

I say "alien abduction," because

some of the pieces of

information that they discuss‐‐

the loss of time, seeing beings

that actually came out of this

craft and associated and

interacted with them, and they

weren't human.

>> STORCH: Ultimately, under

hypnosis, they recalled being

brought out of the car and taken

aboard the ship, and it was

a legitimate abduction, and that

Betty pleaded with her captors,

if you will, that... not to harm

her as she laid on this table

and experiments were done on

her, like a needle being

inserted into her stomach.

Barney relates a number of skin

samples and sperm being taken

from him.

>> MARTELL: The beings described

by Betty and Barney Hill fit the

classic case of a Grey.

Now, there are variations to

size and dimensions of these

beings, but they all seem to

have the same characteristics:

slim, spindly bodies; large,

oval heads; large, oversized

eyes.

>> NARRATOR: The Hills were the

first documented case of an

alien abduction in modern time,

but it is not the last.

Since the 1960s, there have been

many more similar reports,

including that of Kim Carlsberg,

a commercial photographer who,

in 1988, claimed to have been

abducted by Grey aliens in the

middle of the night.

>> KIM CARLSBERG: We were living

on the beach in Pacific

Palisades, and I walked up to

the window, and I saw this light

on the horizon that I had never

seen before.

You know, I've lived on the

beach my whole life, and it

wasn't a boat and it wasn't a

star.

I just watched this craft.

The next thing I knew, it jetted

into the stars and disappeared,

and I went to bed as usual.

I woke up in the middle of the

night and I was not in my bed

any longer.

I was naked and I was paralyzed.

The beings I saw were about 3½

feet tall.

They were naked.

They were off‐white, they were

not grey.

They had huge heads, huge

wraparound black eyes, tiny

little bodies.

>> MAGLIOCCO: There are many

stories of Greys abducting

humans into their spaceships and

even of being inseminated with

alien reproductive material and

then conceiving human‐alien

hybrid babies and having those

fetuses removed from their

bodies and then grown on the

alien spaceships.

In some cases, people report

going back onto the spaceship

and being able to see these

hybrid offspring.

>> CARLSBERG: I was being used

for my DNA.

They were creating hybrid

children from my eggs, someone

else's sperm, and combining it

with their DNA and their sperm.

I would be implanted with an

alien fetus and they would leave

the fetus in my body for a few

months.

Then they would bring me back

again later and then they would

remove it.

It was horrific, it was

terrifying.

>> NOORY: You can't have so many

people saying that they've been

abducted and not have some

possibility of truth with that.

I think it's happening.

I don't know if it's a

hybridization program for these

ET's, or whether they're trying

to bring these hybrids back to

this planet one day, when the

environment changes.

But, in my opinion, something

very strange is happening to

these people who claim

to be abducted.

>> RICHARD DOLAN: There is an

overabundance of testimony from

just too many people who say

that they remember these types

of creatures and having been

taken by them.

Yeah, I think the Greys make

perfect sense.

Now, the question is, where are

they from?

>> MICHAEL DENNIN: So, if you

think about the Grey alien with

the large head, small body, why

are these the aliens that are so

often projected?

As a scientist, you really have

sort of two sides that you like

to think about.

One is, why do we project them

that way if, you know, they're

just our projection?

And if they did really exist,

hypothetically, would

intelligent life look radically

different?

And I think there the answer can

be very much, yes.

>> NARRATOR: But what can

explain the similarity of the

Greys described by abduction

victims?

And why do recent descriptions

match ancient depictions of

so‐called sky gods found all

around the world?

Might they be from the same race

of otherworldly beings, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

>> GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:

Something can be said about a

potential presence of Greys in

the remote past, because there

are some figurines and some cave

drawings that look like Greys.

There are some statues in

ancient Sumeria, but we can also

find cave drawings in Europe

and, for example, in Australia,

where the heads feature a

triangular shape with the big

almond eyes.

>> NARRATOR: Cave paintings in

the Kimberley region of

Australia‐‐ nearly 5,000 years

old‐‐ could be among the

earliest depictions of Greys

ever discovered.

According to local legends, the

carvings are of ancient spirits

called the Wondjina who appeared

during Dreamtime to create the

landscape and influence its

inhabitants.

>> PHILLIP COPPENS: Really what

you have there is a typical

depiction of your Grey alien

being.

The almond‐shaped eyes, the

almond‐shaped heads, because

quite often you find in rock art

various strange creatures there,

but not necessarily the Greys.

So to have, in the Kimberley

caves, a depiction of a Grey is

really extraordinary.

>> TSOUKALOS: The Wondjina were

beings that descended from the

sky and essentially jump‐started

civilization in and around

Australia.

In fact, the Aboriginals of

today still pray to those

beings.

And to me, that is significant,

because what we have here is

what I refer to as living

mythology; that these

mythologies have been kept

alive over thousands of years.

And to me, there is no

coincidence in that.

>> NARRATOR: Might alien beings,

known as the Greys, really have

been visiting Earth for

thousands of years, as Ancient

Astronaut theorists believe?

Perhaps the answer can be found

not in the stars, but in man's

earliest depictions of sky gods.

>> NARRATOR: Iraq... a region

once known as Mesopotamia.

Located on the east bank of the

Tigris River, opposite the

modern city of Mosul, lie the

remains of the ancient city of

Nineveh.

Here, in 1849, 6,000‐year‐old

Sumerian clay tablets were

discovered that contain the

earliest known form of written

records.

Interpretations of the accounts

engraved on the tablets speak of

an alien race called the

Anunnaki who settled in Sumer

and bred with humans.

>> MARTELL: The Anunnaki,

which comes from Sumer, our

modern‐day Iraq, speak of gods

that literally created us‐‐

humans‐‐ in their image and

after their likeness.

So when we go back to some of

these Sumerian epics and various

texts that go back thousands of

years, the Anunnaki are a great

resource of realizing these were

actual beings that existed.

And the Anunnaki even worked

with or had some relationship

with the Greys.

>> COPPENS: With the Anunnaki,

what Anu really is a description

of the fact that they're linked

with their creative deities,

and, in this case, Anu is linked

with the constellation of

Orion...

very specifically saying that

these creatures come from

somewhere out there in the

universe, and have come from

there to us.

>> CHILDRESS: When you look at

the evidence, it appears that

there was a number of different

alien species that were coming

to this planet.

You have the smaller, big‐headed

Grey aliens.

You have the very tall, literal

giants that were sometimes

called the Anunnaki.

We have other alien species that

allegedly look almost identical

to us.

>> NARRATOR: In the American

Southwest, the ancestors of the

Native Hopi Indians believed in

deities from other worlds and

created illustrations of them

on canyon walls.

But in some cases, researchers

believe the depictions of sky

gods match modern‐day

descriptions of the Greys.

>> MAGLIOCCO: In Hopi culture,

there are spirits called

Kachina that represent, really,

beings from the other world.

They really are a mixture of

nature spirits, earth spirits.

Some of them also really take on

almost aspects of very powerful

ancestors or gods.

These are otherworldly

creatures.

>> TSOUKALOS: The translation

for the word Kachina is very

simple.

It means teacher.

The Kachina were not a part of

the spiritual world, but they

were, in fact, a part of the

physical world.

They descended from the sky in

what the Hopi refer to as

fiery shields.

They would touch down on Earth,

spend time with human beings,

teach them, give them knowledge,

and then they would use

the same "shields" to fly back

into the sky.

>> COPPENS: The Kachinas were

physically living with them,

and at some point it is

said that the Kachinas took to

the mountains, specifically the

San Francisco Mountains outside

of Flagstaff, and then that

later, they disappeared.

>> MARTELL: The Kachinas in the

Hopi culture are known as gods,

and this term "gods" I use

loosely, because we now look at

the information and wonder if

they're possibly

extraterrestrials.

Now what's interesting is this

theme is replicated across

many different cultures.

The gods come here and find our

human females attractive, so

this is the same thing reported

by the Hopi Indians.

>> NARRATOR: But if Grey aliens

came to Earth in the distant

past and mated with humans,

where is the physical evidence

of this union?

Researchers point to numerous

elongated humanoid skulls found

on several continents.

Might such remains actually be

of a hybrid species‐‐ part alien

and part human‐‐ as Ancient

Astronaut theorists believe?

>> CHILDRESS: One of the things

that you see around the

pyramids, here on coastal Peru,

is that they're associated with

these skulls.

It would seem that those

elongated skulls were

half‐alien, half‐human.

And in fact, some of the recent

DNA testing that's been done,

here in Peru, is indicating that

these people are, somehow,

half‐human and half some

other race.

>> VON DANIKEN: Well, this, uh,

elongated skulls is a phenomenon

which is worldwide.

We found them in Central

America.

We found them in South America.

You find them in Egypt.

So I think in the very, very

beginning, these

extraterrestrials, they must

have had longer heads than the

normal human brain.

>> MARTELL: They're found all

over the globe, and we have to

wonder if this was some type of

either lost advanced

civilization, or were these

actually extraterrestrials

visiting various cultures and

having similar influences.

Maybe some of these elongated

skulls are actually artifacts

to, say, beings existed at one

time, that ancient man

considered gods.

>> COPPENS: And it's once again

cross‐cultural.

We find it specifically at a

very brief period in time, in

ancient Egypt, under Akhenaton.

And specifically, in Peru, an

awful lot of excavations are

happening where you see strange

skulls being uncovered,

specifically these skulls which

are really larger than they

should be.

It seems very straightforward

that, somehow, the gods were

visually linked with elongated

skulls.

>> NARRATOR: Might elongated

skulls‐‐ some estimated to be

over 4,000 years old‐‐ really be

evidence of the existence of

Grey aliens in the ancient past?

And if so, could this be proof

of intermingling between human

and alien civilizations?

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the answer on both counts is a

categorical yes.

Perhaps further evidence can be

found not here on Earth, but on

the surface of a nearby planet.

>> NARRATOR: Mars.

July 31, 2008.

NASA's Phoenix Lander

successfully touches down on the

Martian surface.

And while searching for evidence

of microbial life, the robotic

spacecraft finds trace amounts

of water frozen underneath the

soil.

The discovery of an element so

essential to life raises

speculation that Mars may have

been home to alien life‐forms in

the distant past.

>> COPPENS: When we start

scouring the solar system for

evidence of an alien species,

what we're really beginning to

find out is that Mars is,

by far, the best candidate.

>> DENNIN: Given that our

local solar system already has

example of two planets‐‐ one

that clearly has life 'cause

we're here, and then one, like

Mars, that could have had it

started and then just 'cause it

was in the wrong place or not

quite right, it didn't keep

going‐‐ gives hope that there

really is more life elsewhere in

the universe.

>> MAGLIOCCO: Mars has a special

place in our consciousness and

our folklore, going back to the

time of, really, the ancient

Greeks.

And this becomes more important

as we get closer to the end of

the 19th century, where you have

reliable astronomy, powerful

telescopes that can see, for

example, some of what are called

canals on the planet Mars.

People have begun to imagine

a civilization that, perhaps,

existed long ago on Mars,

created these canals for

transportation, or for other

reasons.

But then something cataclysmic

happened, that possibility of

life on that planet was

destroyed.

And so the denizens had to flee

and go somewhere else.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible that

Mars was once a fertile planet

like the Earth?

And if so, might it have been

home to a species of beings we

call the Greys, as some Ancient

Astronaut theorists believe?

>> VON DANIKEN: All mythologies

consider Mars to be the planet

of war.

So you cannot exclude that,

sometime in the past‐‐ this

could be 10,000 or hundred

thousands of years ago‐‐ Mars

had a civilization.

And the civilization destroyed

itself, whatever the reason was,

and some of the winners of the

situation escaped to Earth.

>> COPPENS: Our ancestors were

also convinced that there was

life on Mars.

Mars has always been singled out

as this cosmic twin of planet

Earth.

It's almost as if it's somehow

part of our DNA that somehow

tells us we need to go to Mars.

And if we did have a brother at

one point, the likely chance is

that we're going to find

evidence of this brother on

Mars.

Everything which we know about

non‐human life contact in the

past or in more recent times, it

is somewhat humanoid.

And so, to find out that this

species would have a base on

Mars is, I think, very much in

the line of expectations.

>> MARTELL: Any type of species

on Mars today would probably be

subterranean.

Now, this is an interesting

piece for the idea that the

Greys occupy Mars.

We know that here on Earth, we

do see evidence of subterranean

activity.

Maybe the Greys actually came

from Mars.

>> NARRATOR: But if Mars might

have once sustained life,

and possibly intelligent

beings, might other more distant

planets in the universe also

have supported life, and perhaps

even a thriving civilization?

December 5, 2011.

Scientists, using NASA's Kepler

space telescope, confirm that

they have found two planets,

orbiting a distant sun‐like

star, that are in a narrow

range of space within their

solar system, called the

habitable zone, in which a

planet might have water, and

perhaps, sustain life.

>> DENNIN: So, there's been the

recent announcements of the

Kepler B and new planets.

And it's been a very exciting

period for astronomy.

Our telescopes have gotten

powerful enough to finally find

planets around other suns.

We have them around ours; why

would we be unique?

>> MARTELL: Kepler 22B is an

example.

2.5 times the size of Earth,

rotates on a 290‐day orbit, very

similar to our own properties

here on Earth.

Potentially the Greys, or

various other aliens that have

been visiting us, come from

other worlds that we're now

finally starting to locate.

>> COPPENS: And so what we're

having here is really a

threshold.

Science, NASA in this case, has

really made a lunge forward in

saying we have left the field of

possibilities, we've entered the

realm whereby the ancient alien

theory is no longer a theory but

is really coming closer and

closer and closer to evidence,

if not proof.

>> NOORY: I think it's very

possible that Kepler will find

more and more planets, some

Earth‐like.

They've already come up with a

theory that there are billions

of planets in our galaxy now.

Some of them are bound to have

intelligent life.

>> NARRATOR: If Grey aliens did

originate from habitable planets

like Kepler 22B, is there

evidence that their

intergalactic quest led them

to Earth?

According to Ancient Astronaut

theorists, we need look no

further than the megalithic

structures and pyramids of

Central America's ancient city

of Teotihuacan.

>> TSOUKALOS: The word

"Teotihuacan" means "where man

met with the gods."

The main reason why Teotihuacan

was even built there was because

at one point, some type of

extraterrestrial contact took

place at Teotihuacan.

>> NARRATOR: According to

researchers, Teotihuacan's three

main pyramids were built in

precise alignment with the three

bright stars of the Orion

constellation.

And astonishingly, the smaller

structures along the broad

avenue were positioned to

represent our solar system.

>> VON DANIKEN: Teotihuacan has

a main road orientated

north‐south.

And on this main road, you have

different buildings, mostly

pyramids.

Every building has the position

of one planet in our solar

system.

And the distances between one

building and the next correspond

with the distances of the

planets in our solar system,

including the asteroid belt.

You see, in our solar system, we

have, in the center, the sun.

Then comes Mercury, Venus, Mars.

Between Mars and Jupiter is the

asteroid belt.

Then comes Uranus, Neptune,

Pluto, etcetera.

But the constructors of this

could not have known this.

Where does this knowledge come

from?

>> CHILDRESS: When you look at

pyramids themselves, they are a

special geometric form.

In fact, the locations of many

of these pyramids can also be

mapped out into geometric grid

patterns on the Earth.

And you have to think that

whoever is guiding such a

precise network of pyramids must

have been a very advanced

culture, probably

extraterrestrials.

>> NOORY: These are strange

structures.

And if you look at them, you

just say, number one, how did

they build this with primitive

tools, if they had tools at all?

I think there's one of two

things going on here, on this

planet.

Either Earth is very old and

life started much earlier and

human life started millions of

years before we think they did,

or there was some kind of

extraterrestrial help.

>> MARTELL: We seem to have

megalithic monuments and

information cross cultures

around the globe that seem to be

coming from some type of outside

source.

It goes back thousands of years.

We have artifacts, for instance,

in random places like Armenia.

There are actual reliefs of what

look like Grey aliens.

Sumer, modern‐day Iraq, we find

figurines, little statues;

they look like Grey aliens.

The evidence that we see here is

that the Greys do exist.

>> NARRATOR: Does the discovery

of distant, possibly

life‐sustaining planets, add

credence to the evidence of Grey

aliens in our recent and

prehistoric past, as Ancient

Astronaut theorists believe?

Perhaps further evidence can be

found in ancient stone carvings

of strange creatures known as

the Reptilians.

>> NARRATOR: Chichen Itza,

Mexico... Vijayangara, India...

and the Forbidden City in China.

All across the ancient world are

numerous pyramids and temples

dedicated to what ancient

inhabitants referred to as sky

gods.

But is it possible, as some

Ancient Astronaut theorists

contend, that these so‐called

sky gods were, in fact, another

form of Grey alien known as the

Reptilians?

>> TSOUKALOS: All throughout

Central and South America,

people worshipped this winged

serpent.

But it gets even better, because

halfway around the world, in

ancient India, we find the

stories of flying snakes again.

They were very aware that snakes

cannot fly.

However, whatever it was that

they saw flying around in the

sky could best be described as a

winged serpent.

>> COPPENS: Whenever creatures

are being encountered, we are

going to look towards the animal

kingdom to find comparisons with

what we are seeing.

And basically what that suggests

is, really, that the creature

looks like us, but also has some

reptilian features.

And so, while we're looking at

creatures in modern UFO

mythology, specifically the

Greys, what you have is

interbreeding between the Greys

and reptiles.

>> NARRATOR: Some researchers

believe that, before settling on

primates, Grey aliens may have

viewed reptiles as Earth's

dominant life‐form, one they

could exploit for reproductive

purposes.

If so, might the Greys have

combined their genes with the

DNA of reptiles to create hybrid

reptilian creatures that, for a

while, coexisted with early

hominids on Earth?

And might this explain the

numerous ancient depictions of

reptilian beings?

>> TSOUKALOS: In ancient India,

we have the Naga.

Half‐man, half‐snake.

It was allegedly a creation by

the god Vishnu or Krishna.

And who were these gods?

And according to the ancient

alien theory, the gods were

nothing else but genetic

products of extraterrestrials.

>> COPPENS: The Sheti are an

interesting subset of the Hopi

tradition.

They are quite reptilian in

nature, as well, because they

are a species which tend to go

underground.

Now, when we make comparison to

the UFO folklore, we quite often

find or hear that some of these

entities prefer the underground

or live in underground bases.

>> NOORY: If you go back even to

the Biblical days, the

description of Satan is somewhat

reptilian.

It's very possible he was a

reptilian extraterrestrial and

that the human beings at the

time just interpreted that as

something from the heavens.

>> MARTELL: There are various

reports in South America.

Even in Asia, in China, we have

this similar reference of

reptilians and kings being

denoted as a dragon symbol...

so there must have been some

type of global influence that

took place from a reptilian

source.

>> COPPENS: In ancient Chinese

culture, we have four Dragon

Kings, and they are the deities

of the sea.

And it is said that they had a

crystal palace underneath the

ocean.

But it is not mythological in

the sense that it is completely

invented.

Somehow these weird creatures

made contact with the early

Chinese and hence were

remembered in Chinese mythology.

>> MARTELL: Not only do they

have reptilian characteristics,

but supposedly they could

shape‐shift...

actually become another type

of form of a body,

a human being‐‐ alien versus

human.

Now, a lot of these things are

hard for us to grasp and

understand, but throughout time,

there are reports of these

reptilian creatures having

amazing abilities, even the

ability to change their shape.

>> NARRATOR: Some researchers

have also theorized that

the Reptilians may have battled

hominids for domination of

Earth...

resulting in near extinction

of the hybrid species...

and forcing survivors

to go underground.

>> MARTELL: It's clearly

evidence that ancient man were

witnessing things.

Whether it be extraterrestrials

visiting us, or beings that

lived maybe underground...

...we don't know.

But there are clear references

of some type of advanced

humanoid reptilian being that

has influenced our cultures.

>> NARRATOR: Might such legends

and depictions of reptilian

serpents and dragons have been

prehistoric man's way of

documenting their encounters

with supernatural hybrid

creatures produced by Grey

aliens, as some Ancient

Astronaut theorists believe?

Perhaps the evidence may even

show that we are more closely

connected to the Greys than

ever imagined.

>> NARRATOR: Washington, DC.

The National Institute of

Health.

Here, in 1990, scientists began

the Human Genome Project to

identify every gene in the human

body and determine what makes up

our DNA.

This scientific breakthrough may

allow us to manipulate human

evolution and alter the human

race.

But is it possible‐‐ when we

have become masters of human

evolution‐‐ that we may finally

understand the true nature of

Grey aliens?

>> DOLAN: When you look at the

physiology of what we think the

Greys are, okay‐‐ large head,

huge wrap‐around eyes, spindly

body...

you have to ask yourself, does

this make sense in an

evolutionary sense?

And the answer is no.

But does it make sense if

these beings are bio‐engineered?

And the answer to that is yes.

That's what the Greys really, I

think, most realistically, are.

>> STORCH: I believe that

extraterrestrials found on

this planet a species that

they were able to change the

genetic code that would allow

them to interact and secure the

longevity of their species.

We're the product of that.

We're the genetic carrier, if

you will.

It's one of the reasons why

they're still abducting us.

That tweaking of the genetic

code is still going on.

The Greys are our space

brothers.

I don't think they're

necessarily evil.

We're an ends to a means.

>> DENNIN: Could

extraterrestrials have bred with

humans?

You sort of need two things

to have happened.

One is the life‐form would have

had to be carbon‐based like us,

presumably, because the

chemistry has to work.

The second thing is, you would

need, basically, the same

genetic‐type structure.

So you could imagine, if there

was another planet with fairly

similar conditions, that gave

carbon‐based life‐forms,

what would evolve, there is a

good likelihood that you would

get species like us.

And if they were close enough,

then, of course, they could

interbreed with humans on Earth.

>> MARTELL: Why would they be

creating a hybrid being?

Is there something that's gonna

happen here on Earth where our

genetic makeup maybe won't be

able to survive some type of

solar activity or something that

they needed to genetically

modify us so that we can still

survive?

Is it for our own good as

humans, or are they doing it

for their need as aliens?

>> NARRATOR: If Grey aliens

interbred with humans, might

their biology and appearance

be a reflection of their more

advanced evolution as a species?

And if so, might they provide a

hint of what humans may look

like in the distant future?

>> REDFERN: Even though the

Greys kind of look very

different to us, you know, the

larger heads, the smaller

bodies, the big black eyes,

in terms of evolution, you need

hands, you need fingers and

thumbs...

you need eyes, you need ears,

you need a mouth.

You need to be able to

communicate because you would

need that type of form to really

advance yourself as a

civilization.

>> DOLAN: When you're a super

technologically advanced race,

you don't really need big

muscles.

You don't really need sex organs

if you're being genetically

engineered‐‐ biologically and

cybernetically, most likely‐‐ to

function in the capacity that

they do here.

A super‐large head, for example,

houses a hell of a large brain,

easily their greatest asset.

It's a brain that allows them to

have a cognitive capacity,

probably, vastly beyond what

we're able to have.

It's a brain that allows them,

most likely, to have telepathic

capabilities that are beyond

the capability of most humans.

>> NOORY: I tend to subscribe

to the theory that we are in

their image.

Sounds like the Book of Genesis,

doesn't it?

But it's very possible that

ET's who look like we do, or

should I say, we look like they

do, came here, did a little

manipulation, genetically

altered what was here on the

planet and created the Adam and

Eve, turned it into modern man,

and then left, for whatever

reason.

>> STORCH: There is a missing

link.

The missing link is ET.

They've changed our genetic code

eons ago.

And through a process of

evolution, you have the human

development to the point where

we're going into space.

Our evolutionary process is a

direct result of genetic

manipulation by ET.

>> NARRATOR: But could an alien

species such as the Greys really

travel to Earth from a star

system hundreds, or perhaps

thousands, of light‐years away?

Or might the Greys actually be

time travelers from our own

future, as some Ancient

Astronaut theorists suggest?

>> MAGLIOCCO: What we have is a

whole shift in the imagination

in the 20th and 21st century.

Alien Greys are actually beings

from the future, who are

traveling in time to the present

time, which is their past.

And they have evolved into this

strange, hairless, greyish

bug‐eyed form.

>> MARTELL: I have to wonder if

they're actually

interdimensional.

I say this because the evidence

suggests they have the ability

to fold space and time with

their technology.

>> COPPENS: Once we're talking

about interdimensional beings,

and what we are finding is that,

today, ancient history and

future, I think, are all

the same.

That also explains why there

are so many time anomalies

happening with these events.

>> MARTELL: So it's very

possible that they actually come

from a distant part of our

future.

>> NARRATOR: Will we ever know

the truth about the Greys?

What is the secret to their

mysterious origin?

And why‐‐ if they exist‐‐ do

they appear to be so interested

in our world?

Are they here to study us?

To communicate with us?

Or are they really coming here

to warn us of our future?
