>> NARRATOR: Ancient star

rituals, summoning higher

powers...

>> What the discipline of

Kalachakra is telling us is

that we can control time.

>> NARRATOR: ...legends of

otherworldly beings

traveling through time...

>> It's not outside the realm of

possibility that these aliens,

they are, in fact,

time travelers.

>> NARRATOR: ...and scientific

theory revealing the secrets of

the universe.

>> If someone can travel faster

than the speed of light, then

theoretically, someone could

travel in time.

>> NARRATOR: Are alien beings

really from out of this world,

or might they be evidence of

man's future technological

achievements?

>> You have to wonder if they

weren't time‐traveling

extraterrestrials, or even

humans coming from our own

future.

>> 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 new evidence

reveal the existence of time

travelers?

>> NARRATOR: Bern, Switzerland.

Septber 26, 1905.

Albert Einstein publishes his

special theory of relativity.

According to his astonishing

scientific breakthrough, space

and time are one.

>> RONALD MALLETT: In the old

theory of Newton, space was a

rigid container and time was an

absolute flow.

In Einstein's theory, this was

revolutionized.

Space now became a flexible

medium, and time now could be

altered.

>> MICHAEL DENNIN: Einstein

realized that if you move

faster, the ticks on your clock

actually change.

Prior to Einstein, no one

understood that or would even

have expected that, because it

only happens when you get very,

very close to the speed of

light.

>> SARA SEAGER: There is a way

within the laws of physics to

travel long distances and still

be alive, and that actually is

related to special relativity

and the idea that if you can

travel very, very close to the

spd of light, time will slow

down for you.

And in this sense, if you could

travel very near the speed of

light, only a day or two would

pass, instead of the whole

four years.

>> NARRATOR: January 30, 1933.

Berlin, Germany.

Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party

take power, and Albert Einstein

flees to the United States.

Fearing Hitler's rise to power,

he warns the U. S. and the world

of terrible dangers posed to

humanity, especially if Nazis

were to acquire advanced

technology.

(loud rumbling)

But by revealing to the world

his breakthrough theories, might

Einstein have accidentally

helped the Nazis build a time

machine?

Southwest Poland.

The Owl Mountains.

Here, concealed under rolling

hills, were seven underground

complexes built for a top secret

Nazi program called

Die Glocke.

Some researchers believe it was

in these covert facilities,

between 1943 and 1945, that

Third Reich scientists carried

out clandestine experiments in

an effort to win World War II.

>> JIM MARRS: They were

developing lots of exotic

things.

They were in charge of the V1,

the V2 rocket programs.

But then, I think, the

culmination of their

experimentation was with

Die Glocke, or The Bell, and

they called it that because it

was bell‐shaped.

>> MICHAEL BARA: And what this

appeared to be was some sort of

device that had very, very

powerful, rapidly rotating

energetic magnetic fields.

And there are thoughts that this

basically was a time machine.

That the idea was that you would

be able to move back and forth

in time, change history, change

certain events, and create a new

timeline and a new reality.

>> NARRATOR: The existence of

the mysterious bell‐shaped

device, measuring nine feet wide

and 12 feet tall, was first

exposed by the high‐ranking Nazi

general Jakob Sporrenberg while

being interrogated by Polish

authorities after the war.

But when the Allies eventually

captured the German research

center, neither thNazi Bell

nor its project commander, Hans

Kammler, could be found.

>> BARA: Hans Kammler was in

charge of all the super‐secret

Nazi technology.

And this guy just disappears

after the war.

In fact, there are four official

versions of his death.

(laughs): So nobody really

knows how he died, when he died,

if he died, where he went, or

what happened.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible that

the German military was

experimenting with time travel

technology?

And if so, might the Nazi Bell

have actually traveled to the

future?

(whooshing)

December 9, 1965.

(rumbling)

Thousands witness a brilliant

fireball flash across the sky

before crashing in Kecksburg,

Pennsylvania, 30 miles southeast

of Pittsburgh.

(explosion)

>> MARRS: The military was

immediately on the scene,

grabbed everything up, and then

said nothing happened.

The thing that intrigues me

about the Kecksburg crash is

the description of the object.

Unlike most of the flying

saucers, this one was bulbous.

It has been described like an

acorn, or, what I could see, is

kind of something that resembled

the Nazi Bell.

>> NARRATOR: Might the object

that crashed at Kecksburg have

been the long‐lost Nazi Bell

that disappeared 20 years

earlier?

And is it possible that German

scientists had discovered a way

to transport humans from one

time and place to another, as

some researchers believe?

If so, did they use Einstein's

theories to create their own

time machine?

Or might their inspiration have

been, perhaps... more divine?

Tibet. May, 1938.

While on an expedition through

the northeast region of the

Himalayan Mountains, Nazi

officials searching for the

origins of the Aryan, or master,

race, instead discover the

Buddhist teachings known as the

Kalachakra.

>> DOC BARHAM: In the Buddhist

tradition, there's the notion

of Samsara, or the wheel

of time.

In the Kalachakra initiation,

the teaching is to understand

time, particularly biological

time...

calendar time and astrological

time, and how those things

actually influence you.

(men chanting)

>> PHILIP COPPENS: And so what

the discipline of Kalachakra is

lling us is that whereas we

seem to see time as linear, this

is not the case, that time is

somehow cyclical, and that we

can somehow master this and

control time.

>> DAVID CHILDRESS: Throughout

the Buddhist world, the

Buddhists build, uh, what they

call stupas.

They look very much like the

Nazi Bell.

>> COPPENS: When it comes to

the stupas, it is really said

that we can somehow connect with

the gods.

Now, when we put the practice of

Kalachakra on this, what we

are talking about is somehow a

practice of transcending time.

>> BARHAM: Thealachakra

teaching gives individuals

actual practices and techniques

to be able to step outside of

time, and to be able to move in

time.

So it's entirely possible that

the Nazis were looking for

secrets on how to travel

in time.

>> NARRATOR: Is it really

possible that the Nazis unlocked

the secrets of time travel

during their expedition in

Tibet?

And if so, might the early

teachings of the Kalachakra be

evidence that ancient Tibetan

Buddhist monks had knowledge of

time travel thousands of years

ago, as some ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

Perhaps the answer can be found

in the legends and rituals of an

ancient civilization in New

Mexico.

(bird screeches)

>> NARRATOR: Chaco Canyon,

New Mexico.

In a remote desert region 150

miles northwest of Albuquerque

lie the mysterious ruins of an

ancient Pueblo people.

Called the Anasazi, they thrived

from 900 to 1100 AD.

>> GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: This is

the Plaza of Pueblo Bonito.

This is a representation of our

place in the universe.

You've got the worlds above,

the worlds below, and this right

here is our plane of our world.

This is the exact place where

time and space began for the

ancestral Pueblans.

>> NARRATOR: Scholars believe

the Anasazi, or ancient ones,

built their civilization with

advanced knowledge of

engineering, mathematics

and astronomy.

>> SEAN MORTON: Somehow, some

way, they built a city that is

perfectly circular, that goes

out in perfectly straight lines,

that the structures of the city

themselves actually predict the

5,200‐year cycle of the moon

and cycles of the sun.

All in the geometry.

All in the stone, if you will.

>> MARSHALL KLARFIELD: These are

very elaborate constructions

which required engineering

skills beyond what the local

folks had.

And it had to be done by an

advanced civilization.

>> NANCY RED STAR: The Anasazi

built Chaco Canyon.

And they built it as part of a

promise of a way of living;

that they were to uphold the

wishes of the Creator.

And so Chaco Canyon is the

delivery of the teachings.

The teachings came from

the star people.

>> NARRATOR: But how did these

ancient people engineer such

elaborate structures without

modern machinery?

And just who were the star

people who brought knowledge to

the Anasazi?

Ancient astronaut theorists

believe the answers can be found

by looking at the ancient

rituals and myths of

Chaco Canyon.

According to local legends, the

Anasazi believed in a

multidimensional existence and

practiced sacred rituals called

crystal stargazing; ceremonies

believed by some to enable

time travel.

>> RED STAR: If you go up into

the cliff dwellings of the

Anasazi, there are elaborate

star maps up in those caves.

And that's where the crystal

stargazing ceremonies took

place where they had the ability

to traverse space and time.

>> COPPENS: What we're seeing

within this area are people who

basically say that they somehow

emerged out of a different

dimension onto this place.

And they say that this for them

is a place of emergence.

They say that they interacted

with mysterious creatures.

>> NARRATOR: Did the Anasazi

really believe in

interdimensional time travel, as

some ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

If so, might they have left

behind tangible evidence of

otherworldly contact?

>> TSOUKALOS: I'm standing in

front of the petroglyphs

at Una Vida.

And they're very amazing as you

can tell, with animal life, but

there's also some very weird

creature standing there,

humanoid figures, and one guy

is holding what to me looks like

a representation of

a spiral galaxy.

Native Americans were very aware

of our place in the universe,

that we were part of a giant

spiral galaxy.

>> RED STAR: The spiral symbol,

the one that you see on the

walls, and particularly two

spirals with a connection is a

connection between the Anasazi

and the extraterrestrials.

They had contact.

And they either came with them

or they either left with them,

we just don't know.

But it's a bridge that existed

between the Anasazi and the

star people.

>> TSOUKALOS: Four very

interesting humanoid petroglyphs

have been found, one of which

hovers above the other three

humanoids with antennae

sprouting out of its head.

Some would suggest that this is

a depiction of the ancient Ant

People that emerged to

essentially jumpstart human

civilization.

>> NARRATOR: According to the

legends of the Hopi, a Native

American tribe believed to be

the descendants of the Anasazi,

the Ant People saved them from

the first destruction

of the universe.

>> WILLIAM HENRY: The Ant People

are described as very special

cosmic visitors, maybe even star

beings, extraterrestrials, who

rescued them from this cataclysm

by taking them underground.

What's interesting about this is

that in ancient Sumeria, they

tell of beings called the

Annunaki, who also came

from the stars.

The Hopi word, "anu" means

"ant."

And the word "naki" means

"friend."

Is it possible that the Annunaki

are the ant friends or Ant

People that the Hopi

were describing?

>> NARRATOR: Did the Annunaki of

ancient Sumeria also appear

here in Chaco Canyon thousands

of years ago as many ancient

astronaut theorists believe?

Perhaps the answer can be found

in the local legend of the

Wingmakers.

1972.

A group of hikers exploring a

system of hidden caverns in

Chaco Canyon discovered wall

paintings and even cuneiform

writing similar to those found

on Sumerian artifacts.

After careful analysis, ancient

astronaut theorists suggest that

the caverns were originally

inhabited by beings visiting

from the future called

the Wingmakers.

>> CHILDRESS: And the Wingmakers

were‐‐ they claimed‐‐ humans,

and in a sense

extraterrestrials from 300 years

in the future.

And they were using Chaco Canyon

as their base for this

time zone, where they were

coming from the future

into our present time.

>> RED STAR: My belief is that,

yes, the Wingmakers were

the culture bearers bringing us

a look at what our future was,

which was mathematics,

it was science, it was art,

it was cultivation.

>> NARRATOR: Might there be

truth to the story of the time‐

traveling Wingmakers

at Chaco Canyon?

And if so, is it possible the

Wingmakers were actually

alien visitors?

Ancient astronaut theorists say

yes and suggest the evidence

still lies in Chaco Canyon.

>> TSOUKALOS: This is a kiva.

A kiva was known to be the most

sacred of places where

ceremonies took place with the

ancestral Pueblans when theytale

universe and our place in

the universe.

>> NARRATOR: Mainstream

archeologists believe the kivas

were once covered with timber

to make a roof.

But strangely, some Hopi legends

refer to this circular structure

as a "cloud house."

>> TSOUKALOS: What if these

cloud houses were nothing else

but biodomes or biospheres

made of nuts and bolts?

It is interesting that

biospheres today look as if

people are living sort of sunk

into the ground with a giant

dome over it, and here we have

something very similar.

So the question is, why would

anybody do this, and according

to the ancient myths, they were

witness to an incredible event

that had something to do with

ancient aliens...

and to them, it was

a divine encounter.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible that

alien beings inhabited

biospheres in Chaco Canyon,

like those our own scientists

envision for future use on

other planets?

And might they have traveled

here not in spacecraft, but

through an interdimensional

space‐time portal?

But if so, where did

they come from?

Perhaps answers can be found

halfway around the world...

in the ancient Indian text

of the Mahabharata.

>> NARRATOR: The Mahabharata.

In this sacred Indian text,

written in the eighth century

BC, King Revaita is described as

traveling to the heavens to meet

with the creator god Brahma,

only to return to Earth hundreds

of years in the future.

Some researchers believe this

Hindu tale may be one of the

oldest records of successful

time travel in the ancient past.

>> CHILDRESS: There's the story

out of the Mahabharata of a king

called Revaita, and he is taken

into space to see the gods.

And when he returns to the

Earth, he finds that many ages

have gone by.

And it's been hundreds of years.

And this is a, the kind of thing

that would happen to space

travelers and in time travel, as

well.

You think you're gone for only a

few days, but when you return to

Earth, you find out that you've

been gone for hundreds of years.

>> NARRATOR: Like the legend of

Chaco Canyon, similar tales of

time travel can be found all

around the ancient world.

In Japan, the legend of Urashima

Taro details a fisherman's visit

to the protector god of the

sea‐‐ Ryujin‐‐ in an underwater

palace for what seemed like only

three days.

>> CHILDRESS: When he returns to

his fishing village, he finds

that it's been 300 years that

he's been gone.

And his house is in ruins,

everybody he knows is long dead,

no one remembers him or his

family.

>> NARRATOR: And in the Hebrew

Bible, descriptions of the

prophet Jeremiah in Jerusalem

are eerily similar to both of

these accounts of time travel.

>> VON DANIKEN: In the Bible,

the prophet Jeremiah was sitting

together with a few of his

friends, and there was a young

boy.

His name was Abemolik.

And Jeremiah said to Abemolik,

"Go out of Jerusalem, there is a

hill and collect some figs for

us."

The boy went out and collected

the fresh figs.

All of a sudden, Abemolik hears

some noise and wind in the air,

and he become unconscious, he

had a blackout.

After a few times he wakes up

again, and he saw it was nearly

the evening.

So when he runs back to the

society and the city was full of

strange soldiers.

And he says, "What's going on

here?

Where is Jeremiah and all the

others?"

And an old man said, "That was

62 years ago."

It's a time travel story

written in the Bible.

>> NARRATOR: Southern Egypt.

Agilkia Island.

Here, just six miles upstream

from Aswan in the Nile River

Valley, lies the Temple of Isis.

Built in the fourth century BC,

the temple was a center of

worship for the Egyptian goddess

of fertility and nature until

the sixth century AD.

>> COPPENS: Isis became the most

important deitwhich ancient

Egypt ever had.

She was married to her brother,

Osirand together they really

became the popular husband and

wife to which everybody wanted

to be like.

She is seen as a symbol of life,

whereas Osiris is seen as the

deity who rules over the death.

And so whether you are alive or

whether you're dead, you can

always identify with Isis and

Osiris.

>> NARRATOR: According to

ancient Egyptian religious

belief, the goddess Isis was

known as the Divine Mother, and

believed to be the soul of the

brightest star in the sky...

Sirius.

>> BARA: So to the ancient

Egyptians, Osiris was Orion,

that constellation actually

was a literal living embodiment

of the great god Osiris.

Sirius was the representation of

his wife, sister and consort,

Isis.

Together, those two essentially

ruled the skies and the life of

the Egyptian people themselves.

>> CHILDRESS: Many ancient

cultures, including the

Egyptians, Chinese, the Greeks,

the Japa, all had beliefs,

legends that our gods who

created us have come from

Sirius.

And this star is known to be

extremely important star to

almost all ancient cultures.

>> HENRY: This knowledge

originally emerged in ancient

Egypt and in Africa with the

Dogon tribe, w taught that

beings of light came from Sirius

and created humankind.

>> COPPENS: It is clear that so

many cultures possessed

information about Sirius, and

they single out Sirius apart

from everything else, and it's

got nothing to with its

brightness.

It has to do with the fact that

somehow Sirius is responsible

for sending us emissaries who

educate us.

>> NARRATOR: Could the Sirius

star system really be the point

of origin for the gods of

ancient man?

Or was it, in fact, the place of

origin for extraterrestrial time

travelers, as ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

According to astronomers, Sirius

is approximately 8.5 light‐years

away from Earth, an incredibly

vast distance.

>> SETH SHOSTAK: A light‐year is

about six trillion miles, so

it's quite a ways to Sirius.

Our best rockets go about seven

miles a second.

That's pretty fast, but even at

that speed, to get to Sirius

would take about 200,000 years.

>> SEAGER: So far, the farthest

humans have traveled is the

moon, at about 250,000 miles

away.

Our next step will be Mars

some day, but even that is a

huge, huge stretch for humans.

Six‐month trip to Mars, and just

being able to survive there

without oxygen and the things we

usually have around us is a huge

challenge.

The distances are too vast, and

we just don't have the

technology to do that.

We got to the moon, and that's

as far as we got.

That's not to say that another

civilization couldn't have done

that.

It's just, on Earth, we just

don't have the technology to do

that.

>> NARRATOR: What if

interstellar distances were too

great even for advanced

extraterrestrial beings?

Or might their level of

technical sophistication be

beyond our wildest dreams?

>> COPPENS: Simply because it

is impossible to us doesn't

mean it's impossible for

everybody, and definitely when

it comes to beings out there who

are able to transcend this

boundary of time, it is clear

that they are not subject to

time in the way we are subject

to i

>> NARRATOR: Do some of the

ancient myths and legends

provide proof of successful

intergalactic time travel, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

If so, might time travel have

allowed passage for alien

beings, as well as humans, to

and from our world?

Perhaps the answers can be found

in a laboratory deep underground

in Geneva, Switzerland.

>> NARRATOR: Storrs,

Connecticut.

January, 2012.

In a lab at the University of

Connecticut, theoretical

physicist Ronald Mallett

demonstrates his large‐scale

model of a time machine.

Using a device called a ring

laser that produces a

circulating beam of light, the

professor hopes to prove that

the twisting light actually

bends space, forming a loop in

time.

>> MALLET: Now, what's happening

here is that these lasers, even

though you can't see it,

they're actually circulating.

Each laser beam is creating a

circulating pattern of light.

And that circulating pattern of

light is actually twisting the

empty space in here.

The twisting of space will

eventually lead to a twisting of

time.

In Einstein's theory, the two

are connected.

And that twisting of time will

be where time travel's

occurring, because if you think

of time as being a straight

line, then if we twist space,

then what will happen eventually

is that that space will twist

time into a loop.

So my work, the breakthrough

my work was to use light to

manipulate time.

And that should allow for the

possibility of going back in

time using light.

>> NARRATOR: Although this is

only a prototype, Mallett

believes he may be able to

create a working time machine in

as little as ten years.

He believes the energy of the

light beams will produce a

gravitational field strong

enough to drag a spinning

neutron through time.

>> MALLETTLet's say I'll call

the spin up a one, and I'll call

spin down a zero.

So imagine I send a stream of

neutrons with spin up, spin up,

spin down, spin up.

What do you call that?

That's binary code.

So by using the spin of

neutrons, I can send a binary

code, which could be translated

into a message.

>> NARRATOR: But could this

technology ultimately be able to

send larger objects through

time, like a person, or a

spacecraft?

>> HENRY: Einstein's theory of

relativity allowed for something

called the Einstein‐Rosen

bridge, which is what we

today call a wormhole.

It opened up the possibility

that we can travel from point A

on Earth to point B somewhere

else in the universe as if there

were nothing in between.

>> NARRATOR: If the possibility

exists to travel instantly from

one end of the universe to

another through wormholes, might

there be evidence that such

technology was used in the

ancient past?

>> HENRY: The ancient Egyptians

knew about star gate and

wormhole travel.

The evidence there I discovered

is at the Temple of Hathor at

Dandera.

When you enter into this temple,

you look up on this ceiling,

which is called the astronomical

ceiling, and you see the gods as

ascended light beings traveling

on their ships of eternity.

And it suggests to me that the

ancients didn't use the term

"wormhole" for these time

travel portals, but were clearly

talking about the same thing.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe, that advanced celestial

beings traveled in time through

wormholes on their way to Earth?

Or might they have possessed an

even more advanced time travel

technology, perhaps based on the

complex science of quantum

physics?

Geneva, Switzerland.

300 feet underground, in a

tunnel more than 16 miles in

circumference, lies the world's

greatest particle accelerator:

the Large Hadron Collider.

Completed in 2008 by the

European Organization for

Nuclear Research, also known as

CERN, the massive international

project may allow scientists to

solve outstanding scientific

mysteries concerning the

creation of the universe.

>> DENNIN: The Large Hadron

Collider is a machine we use in

science to study how particles

smaller than an atom behave.

The Large Hadron Collider is

based on the principle of

accelerating protons, which are

one of the key elements of the

nucleus of an atom, and you want

to accelerate them up to very,

very high speeds basically in a

circular motion and collide two

beams that are moving in

opposite directions.

When you make this collision of

the particles, you get a large

number of product particles out.

Just like when you collide any

two objects, they smash and

break into pieces, the protons

break into pieces.

Anit allows us to study the

fundamental particles that make

up all of matter.

>> NARRATOR: On December 13,

2011, scientists working with

the Large Hadron Collider

announced their findings of

possible evidence for the

existence of the Higgs boson, or

what some refer to as the God

particle.

>> MALLETT: A number of

physicists have discovered that

there is a link between the four

forces of nature that we believe

exist.

And you might say the glue that

holds these together, we

believe, is this Higgs particle.

It gives particles their mass,

and it also is the thing that

helps to bind the forces.

So discovering this God particle

is a way of understanding the

possible unification of the

forces of nature.

>> NARRATOR: Some scientists

believe the discovery of

the so‐called God particle

may lead to the creation of the

Higgs singlet...

a particle believed to possess

the ability to jump into

another dimension, move forward

or backward in time, and appear

in the future or past.

In other words, it would make

time travel possible.

>> SEAGER: We live in a

three‐dimensional world, and

sometimes people consider time a

fourth dimension.

But some theories in physics,

string theory, predict that

there are many, many more

dimensions‐‐ ten or 11

dimensions altogether.

Only, these dimensions are not

accessible to us.

We don't see them.

Now, these dimensions artiny,

subatomic, smaller than

particles inside of an atom.

And if you could somehow travel

along these other dimensions, it

would take you somewhere else

entirely.

>> NARRATOR: Could other

dimensions really exist that we

are not able to perceive?

If so, might advanced beings

from a distant galaxy have

already mastered and utilized

the God particle to visit Earth,

as ancient astronaut theorists

suggest?

>> TSOUKALOS: If you place a

picture side by side of the

Hadron Collider and the Aztec

calendar, there's an eerie

similarity between the two.

The Aztec calendar was known to

be a gateway to the universe.

And the Hadron Collider is

similar to that, because we are

trying to unlock the secrets of

the universe with this machine.

And I find it fascinating that

we have a carving from a long

time ago, and when compared to

the modern‐day Hadron Collider,

there is an eerie similarity.

Is it coincidence?

I think not.

>> NARRATOR: Did ancient man

really make contact with early

time travelers?

And are humans on the verge of

discovering that same incredible

ability?

Perhaps further evidence can be

und, evidence that ancient

aliens may not have come from

distant galaxies but from our

own future.

>> NARRATOR: Ever since the

infamous UFO incident of 1947 in

Roswell, New Mexico, there have

been thousands of reports of

extraterrestrial sightings, and

even firsthand accounts of alien

abductions.

Described as humanoid with large

heads and small bodi,

researchers believe these beings

might, in fact, be an alien

species that some call the

Greys.

>> BARA: These aliens look not

too dissimilar from us.

They have heads, they have

hands, they have two arms, two

legs, two eyes, a nose, a

rudimentary mouth.

They certainly in their

descriptions appear to be pretty

close to us.

Or what they kind of look like

is very, very early science

fiction concepts of how the

human race would eventually

evolve over the eons.

>> BARHAM: If you look at the

extraterrestrials that are

described‐‐ the Greys‐‐ that are

related to the Roswell incident,

you will see that their forms,

in many ways, resemble what we

might project or predict that we

could look like in the future,

if we became a space‐faring

race.

>> CHILDRESS: The Roswell

crash in New Mexico, in fact,

happened coincidentally close to

the birthday of the Egyptian

goddess Isis.

So you have to wonder, too, if

these so‐called alien bodies

that were allegedly found at the

Roswell crash with thin bodies

and big heads, if they weren't

some kind of time‐traveling

extraterrestrials.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible the

beings believed to have been

recovered at Roswell traveled

here from the star Sirius, just

like the Egyptian goddess Isis,

as some ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

And might they be coming here

using advanced expertise in

space‐time technology?

>> EDGAR MITCHELL: I would think

that it's quite possible that

the alien visitors, if they're

proved to be the way we think

they are, that they're using

certain forms of teleportation

perhaps, or certainly they have

propulsion devices that can

approach the speed of light.

>> LINDA HOWE: What we do know

is that the physics of our

planet, quantum physics and

string theory, have moved the

ball so much further than it was

in the last century to saying

there are no mathematical

restrictions on time travel to

the future or to the past.

And that once you know that the

physics community is saying

there are no restrictions, it's

just us finding out how do we do

this.

>> CHILDRESS: Time travel is

basically the same as

teleportation.

We could go from place to place

on Earth in a matter of

milliseconds.

This would revolutionize all

kinds of travel, at the

same time, our connections

between us and any other

civilization.

And including civilizations on

other planets, as well.

>> NARRATOR: But just who really

are these otherworldly creatures

called the Greys?

Is it possible they came to

Earth not from outer space, but

from the future or the past?

Or might they actually be

human time travelers?

>> COPPENS: There are various

theories as to what the Greys

are.

There are stories that they are

beings which have been

around since time immemorial and

are still around.

But there are also encounters

which people have had, and in

giving these encounters, it has

been said that really the Greys

are us from the future.

And that they really have

traveled back in time because

somehow we have genetically

created this situation whereby

the Greys are no longer able to

procreate and that they have to

therefore come back to our times

to sort of remedy the situation.

>> BARA: People back in the '60s

and '70s kind of speculated what

would human beings look like in

1,000 years or 2,000 years?

And the idea was that we would

expand our intellectual

knowledge so our brains would

get bigger, and we'd have

machinery that would basically

do all the physical tasks for us

that we do with our hands now.

We really would become almost

physically inert beings.

And if you look at those early

concepts of the future of the

human race, they kind of look

like the standard traditional

Grey alien, the Roswell alien.

>> VON DANIKEN: I rather am a

believer in time travel.

I say nothing will be impossible

for us in the future.

Even if you think it's

completely crazy, it will

happen.

Whatever humans are able to

think, to calculate, even to

fantasize will one day become

reality.

Sometimes I ask myself if these

UFOs are not time travelers.

It's our own people of the

future.

>> NARRATOR: Considering the

scientific advancements from the

last century alone, might it be

possible future humans have

discovered the ability to travel

in time, as some ancient

astronaut theorists believe?

Are they, in fact, the so‐called

visitors that have been recorded

throughout the centuries?

Or are they otherworldly aliens

who have mastered travel through

both time and space?

Perhaps the answers can be found

not in the here and now, but in

another place and time.
