Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,333
Mysterious orbs of light
2
00:00:03,375 --> 00:00:05,875
reported all over the world.
3
00:00:05,958 --> 00:00:11,458
Enormous cylindrical objects
hovering high above the Earth.
4
00:00:11,542 --> 00:00:17,042
And massive triangular
craft that appear out of thin air.
5
00:00:17,167 --> 00:00:18,874
Throughout history,
6
00:00:18,875 --> 00:00:22,750
people have witnessed
objects of all shapes and sizes
7
00:00:22,833 --> 00:00:24,375
up in the sky.
8
00:00:25,417 --> 00:00:27,583
Now, we're going
to take a look back
9
00:00:27,708 --> 00:00:29,958
at the top ten examples
10
00:00:30,042 --> 00:00:32,625
of what ancient
astronaut theorists suggest
11
00:00:32,708 --> 00:00:35,875
are, in fact, alien craft...
12
00:00:35,958 --> 00:00:38,292
Craft that just
may hold the proof
13
00:00:38,375 --> 00:00:43,625
that Earth has been
visited by extraterrestrials.
14
00:00:51,208 --> 00:00:52,750
People love to tell me about
15
00:00:52,833 --> 00:00:55,125
their favorite UFO sightings,
16
00:00:55,208 --> 00:00:57,833
and some of them
are pretty astonishing.
17
00:00:57,917 --> 00:00:59,667
But you may be surprised to hear
18
00:00:59,708 --> 00:01:03,125
that many of the flying
craft that we're seeing today
19
00:01:03,208 --> 00:01:06,917
may have also been seen
thousands of years ago.
20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,625
This countdown takes a look
at the various types of objects
21
00:01:10,708 --> 00:01:13,875
that have been witnessed
in the sky again and again.
22
00:01:14,583 --> 00:01:18,667
At number ten on our list
of the top ten alien craft...
23
00:01:18,708 --> 00:01:20,500
The Flying V.
24
00:01:25,208 --> 00:01:27,750
Kent, New York.
25
00:01:27,833 --> 00:01:31,042
New Year's Eve, 1982.
26
00:01:31,167 --> 00:01:33,417
A group of partygoers spots
27
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:36,583
a gigantic V-shaped
craft overhead
28
00:01:36,667 --> 00:01:40,208
with red, white,
and green lights.
29
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:42,958
The colors suddenly vanish,
30
00:01:43,042 --> 00:01:45,333
and then the object
illuminates the ground
31
00:01:45,417 --> 00:01:47,292
with a blinding white light.
32
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:50,500
Over the next few months,
33
00:01:50,583 --> 00:01:55,125
Hudson Valley authorities are
bombarded with similar reports.
34
00:01:56,208 --> 00:01:58,333
Usually, UFOs just appear
35
00:01:58,375 --> 00:02:02,333
to a small number of
people, and they disappear.
36
00:02:02,375 --> 00:02:06,083
In this case, people were
stopped on the highways.
37
00:02:06,167 --> 00:02:07,958
People were running
out of their houses
38
00:02:08,042 --> 00:02:10,958
watching this enormous
object pass over,
39
00:02:11,042 --> 00:02:12,833
the size of a football field.
40
00:02:14,375 --> 00:02:18,125
It's estimated
that as many as 5,000 people
41
00:02:18,208 --> 00:02:22,750
called in and made
reports of this giant V.
42
00:02:22,833 --> 00:02:26,250
And the witnesses said
that this flying triangle
43
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:27,667
was completely silent.
44
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:31,874
And that it was flying
very slowly, if at all,
45
00:02:31,875 --> 00:02:33,375
and was often just hovering
46
00:02:33,458 --> 00:02:36,417
right in place and
then would slowly turn,
47
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:38,792
and then ultimately fly
off in another direction.
48
00:02:41,292 --> 00:02:43,083
So that these were not some
49
00:02:43,167 --> 00:02:45,042
hoaxers with their airplanes
50
00:02:45,125 --> 00:02:46,375
flying in formation,
51
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:48,167
but something
completely different.
52
00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:53,292
The sightings of large
V-shaped craft in Upstate New York
53
00:02:53,375 --> 00:02:56,125
made headlines in
The New York Times.
54
00:02:57,167 --> 00:02:59,458
Then, in 1997,
55
00:02:59,542 --> 00:03:03,917
an identical craft was
spotted in Phoenix, Arizona.
56
00:03:05,375 --> 00:03:08,667
It was a
triangular-ish shaped object
57
00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:10,125
seen very reliably by
58
00:03:10,208 --> 00:03:12,500
quite a large number
of witnesses, including
59
00:03:12,583 --> 00:03:15,000
the governor of the state
at the time, Fife Symington,
60
00:03:15,083 --> 00:03:19,582
who was a qualified pilot and
in the Air Force Reserve as well.
61
00:03:19,583 --> 00:03:22,667
As a pilot and a
former Air Force officer,
62
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:25,458
I can definitively say that
this craft did not resemble
63
00:03:25,542 --> 00:03:27,625
any man-made object
that I'd ever seen.
64
00:03:30,208 --> 00:03:33,333
While the V-shaped
craft flying over the Hudson Valley
65
00:03:33,417 --> 00:03:35,958
and Phoenix are the
most well-documented
66
00:03:36,042 --> 00:03:40,458
mass UFO sightings in
history, they are far from the first.
67
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:45,375
More than 400
years ago, in 1561,
68
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:49,333
the citizens of the
Bavarian city of Nuremberg
69
00:03:49,417 --> 00:03:50,916
reported a commotion in the sky
70
00:03:50,917 --> 00:03:53,167
that was unlike anything
71
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:55,833
they had ever
experienced before.
72
00:03:55,917 --> 00:03:58,583
People went outside and they saw
73
00:03:58,708 --> 00:04:01,208
what they described
as a celestial battle.
74
00:04:02,292 --> 00:04:04,292
The witnesses observed
seeing hundreds
75
00:04:04,375 --> 00:04:06,542
of these strange-shaped objects.
76
00:04:06,667 --> 00:04:09,583
What were these strange
shapes that they were describing?
77
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:13,625
The aerial
scene, illustrated in a woodcut,
78
00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:16,125
is described in the
accompanying text
79
00:04:16,208 --> 00:04:18,583
as "a very frightful spectacle."
80
00:04:19,667 --> 00:04:23,208
A large, black, V-shaped
object appeared in the sky
81
00:04:23,292 --> 00:04:25,583
and seemed to launch projectiles
82
00:04:25,667 --> 00:04:28,833
as onlookers below
watched in amazement.
83
00:04:28,875 --> 00:04:32,667
This was actually witnessed
by thousands of people.
84
00:04:32,750 --> 00:04:37,042
Had it been a meteor
shower or something like this,
85
00:04:37,125 --> 00:04:38,708
then the reports
would have been,
86
00:04:38,792 --> 00:04:42,208
"Okay, this happened before
because we've seen this before,"
87
00:04:42,292 --> 00:04:43,667
but that was new.
88
00:04:44,708 --> 00:04:47,000
The witnesses
wouldn't have had a conception of
89
00:04:47,042 --> 00:04:49,333
some kind of a
mechanical spacecraft.
90
00:04:49,417 --> 00:04:52,750
But that seems to be exactly
what they were describing.
91
00:04:52,833 --> 00:04:56,292
And this has to be one of
the greatest mass sightings
92
00:04:56,375 --> 00:04:59,750
of a UFO phenomena
in all of recorded history.
93
00:05:00,917 --> 00:05:03,167
To me, there is no doubt
94
00:05:03,208 --> 00:05:06,333
that the people of Nuremberg
witnessed an alien craft...
95
00:05:06,375 --> 00:05:08,375
They just didn't
have the language
96
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:11,500
to accurately describe
what they saw.
97
00:05:11,583 --> 00:05:13,833
But that should
come as no surprise,
98
00:05:13,875 --> 00:05:17,542
because even today,
strange objects are seen
99
00:05:17,625 --> 00:05:20,958
in our skies that
defy explanation.
100
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:24,833
Like the number nine
entry on our countdown...
101
00:05:24,917 --> 00:05:26,833
Orbs of Light.
102
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:40,167
U.S. Navy pilots with the
415th Night Fighter Squadron
103
00:05:40,208 --> 00:05:41,792
report seeing "eight to ten
104
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:44,333
"bright orange
lights off the left wing
105
00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:46,917
flying through the
air at high speed."
106
00:05:48,375 --> 00:05:50,875
Neither the radar
operator in the air
107
00:05:50,958 --> 00:05:52,500
nor ground control
108
00:05:52,542 --> 00:05:54,500
could identify
anything in the area
109
00:05:54,583 --> 00:05:56,042
that fit their description.
110
00:05:57,208 --> 00:06:01,250
The strange orbs of light are
observed by hundreds of both
111
00:06:01,375 --> 00:06:05,000
Axis and Ally pilots all
over Europe and Asia
112
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:09,333
throughout the war and
become known as "foo fighters."
113
00:06:10,583 --> 00:06:12,184
Foo fighters were first seen
114
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:13,667
in the Second World War
115
00:06:13,792 --> 00:06:16,667
by pilots flying not actually
that high off the ground,
116
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:18,750
between 800 or 10,000 feet.
117
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:22,000
Usually pilots
were flying at night
118
00:06:22,125 --> 00:06:27,458
and they reported seeing
lights in formation on the horizon.
119
00:06:27,542 --> 00:06:30,333
They would be moving
together or flashing,
120
00:06:30,458 --> 00:06:33,583
kind of tracking them for a bit,
121
00:06:33,667 --> 00:06:36,292
and then it would
disappear as soon as it came.
122
00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:38,625
They were called "foo fighters"
123
00:06:38,708 --> 00:06:41,000
after French feu,
meaning "fire,"
124
00:06:41,083 --> 00:06:42,542
'cause they were flaming balls.
125
00:06:44,208 --> 00:06:46,333
In 1945,
126
00:06:46,417 --> 00:06:50,000
a B-29 bomber, over
the South Pacific,
127
00:06:50,083 --> 00:06:52,750
saw a foo fighter off its wing.
128
00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:57,416
B-29s were very heavily armed.
129
00:06:57,417 --> 00:07:00,042
It trained its machine
guns on the device,
130
00:07:00,125 --> 00:07:01,500
fired on it,
131
00:07:01,583 --> 00:07:04,375
and the foo fighter blew
up into a million pieces.
132
00:07:04,458 --> 00:07:09,125
That story was covered
in TIME magazine.
133
00:07:09,208 --> 00:07:11,833
Whatever they were...
134
00:07:11,917 --> 00:07:14,333
they disappeared and
have now gone into legend.
135
00:07:14,417 --> 00:07:18,167
While reports of
encounters with foo fighters ended
136
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:20,333
after World War II,
137
00:07:20,375 --> 00:07:23,375
mysterious orbs of
light have been reported
138
00:07:23,458 --> 00:07:25,792
hovering around
military testing sites,
139
00:07:25,875 --> 00:07:28,250
nuclear plants,
140
00:07:28,375 --> 00:07:30,542
and even crop circles.
141
00:07:30,625 --> 00:07:34,167
But what they are
remains a mystery.
142
00:07:34,208 --> 00:07:36,458
Foo fighters exhibited
143
00:07:36,542 --> 00:07:37,667
performance characteristics
144
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:39,917
beyond any other aircraft
145
00:07:40,042 --> 00:07:41,667
in the skies at the time.
146
00:07:43,875 --> 00:07:47,167
There were pilots that,
reported foo fighters
147
00:07:47,208 --> 00:07:49,333
traveling at
unimaginable speeds.
148
00:07:49,417 --> 00:07:53,667
That were capable of maneuvering
149
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:57,208
in the air in ways that
no other aircraft could do.
150
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:00,667
These are hypersonic devices.
151
00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:02,667
They can also zigzag,
152
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:05,125
and the amount of
zigzagging is so great
153
00:08:05,208 --> 00:08:08,500
that the gravitational
forces inside these objects
154
00:08:08,542 --> 00:08:10,624
as they jerk through
space and time
155
00:08:10,625 --> 00:08:14,875
would crush any
living individual.
156
00:08:14,958 --> 00:08:17,750
In my opinion, whatever
these objects are,
157
00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:20,250
they're guided either
by remote control
158
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:23,250
or by an autonomous
cybernetic system.
159
00:08:24,292 --> 00:08:28,500
Are the mysterious orbs
of light encountered around the world
160
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:32,083
a type of extraterrestrial
spacecraft?
161
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:36,333
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
162
00:08:36,458 --> 00:08:38,667
and suggest further evidence
163
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:41,417
that alien craft are
visiting our planet
164
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:42,542
can be found hidden
165
00:08:42,625 --> 00:08:44,958
in the jungles of Mexico.
166
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,208
On January 5, 2000,
167
00:08:51,292 --> 00:08:53,375
dozens of people in Illinois
168
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,500
witnessed a mysterious craft
169
00:08:55,625 --> 00:08:57,833
that didn't show up on radar
170
00:08:57,917 --> 00:09:01,125
and appeared to be cloaked
in some type of camouflage.
171
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:06,333
Sneaking in at number
eight on our list of alien craft...
172
00:09:06,375 --> 00:09:09,042
Stealth UFOs.
173
00:09:11,792 --> 00:09:14,792
St.
Clair County, Illinois.
174
00:09:15,875 --> 00:09:19,375
January 5, 2000.
175
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,041
Just after 4:00 a.m.,
176
00:09:22,042 --> 00:09:26,500
three large, triangular objects
flying silently in the night sky
177
00:09:26,583 --> 00:09:29,792
are seen by multiple witnesses,
178
00:09:29,875 --> 00:09:32,542
including police officers.
179
00:09:32,625 --> 00:09:35,042
I looked up in the
sky and observed
180
00:09:35,125 --> 00:09:37,500
this huge, arrow-shaped,
181
00:09:37,542 --> 00:09:39,582
triangular-shaped object.
182
00:09:39,583 --> 00:09:42,500
The flying
triangles are observed
183
00:09:42,542 --> 00:09:43,708
for at least two hours
184
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:47,708
as they travel
over multiple towns.
185
00:09:47,792 --> 00:09:49,434
This is known as the famous
186
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:51,083
Southern Illinois
flying triangle.
187
00:09:52,042 --> 00:09:54,625
We have about four
different police officers.
188
00:09:54,708 --> 00:09:57,667
What they describe
seeing are three distinct,
189
00:09:57,792 --> 00:10:00,083
arrowhead-shaped craft.
190
00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:03,667
Officer Craig Stevens was
191
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:06,167
directly below one
of these triangles.
192
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:07,708
And he said that
193
00:10:07,792 --> 00:10:11,583
it was trying to cloak
or camouflage itself
194
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:13,125
against the night sky,
195
00:10:13,208 --> 00:10:15,167
and was projecting
the star field above it
196
00:10:15,292 --> 00:10:16,791
on the bottom surface,
197
00:10:16,792 --> 00:10:19,625
allowing it to effectively
blend in with its background.
198
00:10:19,708 --> 00:10:25,042
The ability of triangular-shaped
objects to hide in plain sight
199
00:10:25,125 --> 00:10:28,833
reminds many observers of
modern stealth technology.
200
00:10:30,375 --> 00:10:34,958
Developed by the U.S.
military in the 1970s and '80s,
201
00:10:35,042 --> 00:10:37,292
stealth technology
can make aircraft
202
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:39,333
nearly invisible to radar,
203
00:10:39,375 --> 00:10:42,250
sonar, and other
detection methods.
204
00:10:43,292 --> 00:10:45,625
To make
something invisible to radar,
205
00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:47,042
all you have to do is make sure
206
00:10:47,125 --> 00:10:51,208
that the radar doesn't
reflect back to the receiver.
207
00:10:51,292 --> 00:10:55,583
This all comes down to
mostly the shape of the planes.
208
00:10:55,667 --> 00:10:57,000
You want it shaped in a way
209
00:10:57,125 --> 00:10:59,833
so that the radar either
scatters in random directions
210
00:10:59,917 --> 00:11:02,750
or literally just bounces off
in a completely opposite way.
211
00:11:05,458 --> 00:11:08,541
Could the cloaking
effect that witnesses observed
212
00:11:08,542 --> 00:11:10,750
in the Illinois flying triangle
213
00:11:10,833 --> 00:11:15,625
be a type of stealth technology
more advanced than our own?
214
00:11:16,625 --> 00:11:19,167
Curiously, the U.S.
stealth technology
215
00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:22,042
was developed at Area 51...
216
00:11:22,125 --> 00:11:24,958
The same secret military base
217
00:11:25,042 --> 00:11:27,875
believed to contain the
remains of a UFO that crashed
218
00:11:27,958 --> 00:11:30,167
in Roswell, New Mexico.
219
00:11:31,708 --> 00:11:36,083
The official Area 51, now
admitted by the government,
220
00:11:36,208 --> 00:11:41,125
is this facility where aircraft
were developed and test flown...
221
00:11:41,208 --> 00:11:43,500
The U-2 spy plane,
222
00:11:43,583 --> 00:11:45,667
the SR-71 Blackbird,
223
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:49,042
and, of course, more
recently stealth technology.
224
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:51,500
A lot of people say this
is actually something
225
00:11:51,583 --> 00:11:55,667
we've back-engineered from
extraterrestrial technology.
226
00:11:56,875 --> 00:11:58,417
I think there's no question
227
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:02,333
that we have reverse-engineered
or have looked at
228
00:12:02,417 --> 00:12:03,917
the shapes of these craft
229
00:12:04,042 --> 00:12:06,583
and have tried to
create it for ourselves.
230
00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:08,792
Look at some of
the new stealth jets
231
00:12:08,875 --> 00:12:10,208
that are coming out right now.
232
00:12:11,542 --> 00:12:13,333
They're amazingly
close to what we saw
233
00:12:13,417 --> 00:12:16,958
20 years ago from UFO reports.
234
00:12:19,083 --> 00:12:23,667
One of my favorite
places to explore is Egypt.
235
00:12:23,792 --> 00:12:27,000
On Ancient Aliens, we've
investigated pyramids,
236
00:12:27,083 --> 00:12:31,042
tombs and even evidence
of advanced technology.
237
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:34,167
But the most important
symbol in Ancient Egypt
238
00:12:34,250 --> 00:12:37,708
is a pyramid-shaped object
that was said to represent
239
00:12:37,792 --> 00:12:41,458
a craft that descended
from the sky.
240
00:12:41,542 --> 00:12:46,042
At number seven on our
list... The Benben Stone.
241
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:53,833
Luxor, Egypt.
242
00:12:53,917 --> 00:12:57,000
The Karnak Temple
Complex is home to the tallest
243
00:12:57,042 --> 00:12:59,417
standing obelisk in Egypt.
244
00:13:00,583 --> 00:13:02,750
The 97-foot-tall monolith
245
00:13:02,833 --> 00:13:05,500
is carved from a
single piece of granite.
246
00:13:05,542 --> 00:13:08,417
And crowning this
remarkable obelisk
247
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:13,167
is a pyramid-shaped object
called a Benben stone.
248
00:13:14,292 --> 00:13:15,625
The Benben stone
249
00:13:15,708 --> 00:13:17,875
or the pyramid-shaped structure
250
00:13:17,958 --> 00:13:20,750
that is on the top of an
obelisk or a pyramid...
251
00:13:22,083 --> 00:13:24,500
it is there to receive
the messages
252
00:13:24,583 --> 00:13:27,042
from the Sun god
253
00:13:27,125 --> 00:13:31,042
and deliver it to its people.
254
00:13:32,125 --> 00:13:33,958
According to Egyptian mythology,
255
00:13:34,042 --> 00:13:35,916
the Benben was a vehicle
256
00:13:35,917 --> 00:13:39,500
which Atum, the
god of all creation,
257
00:13:39,542 --> 00:13:44,000
used to travel back and forth
between the heavens and Earth.
258
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:49,000
One of the origin stories says
259
00:13:49,083 --> 00:13:53,374
that a Benben stone
descended from the sky,
260
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:57,208
out of which the first
creator gods emerged
261
00:13:57,292 --> 00:13:59,375
and started
Egyptian civilization.
262
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:01,792
It was a flying craft.
263
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,708
The Benben stone was not
264
00:14:05,833 --> 00:14:08,708
just symbolizing a
connection to the heavens...
265
00:14:08,792 --> 00:14:10,917
It was actually memorializing
266
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,375
an extraterrestrial visitation.
267
00:14:14,458 --> 00:14:17,833
Could the first
Egyptians have witnessed an alien craft
268
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:20,542
in the shape of a pyramid?
269
00:14:20,625 --> 00:14:24,333
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
270
00:14:24,417 --> 00:14:27,208
the argument for this
notion became stronger
271
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:30,208
in July 2019,
272
00:14:30,292 --> 00:14:33,667
when, just off the
coast of San Diego,
273
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:36,667
Navy personnel
aboard the USS Russell
274
00:14:36,792 --> 00:14:39,333
recorded an incredible event.
275
00:14:40,375 --> 00:14:43,375
The ship's photographic
interpretation
276
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,207
and Examination Team
277
00:14:45,208 --> 00:14:48,042
captured an 18-second
night vision video
278
00:14:48,125 --> 00:14:53,125
of several pyramid-shaped
objects hovering in the sky.
279
00:14:53,208 --> 00:14:54,875
The video showed
280
00:14:54,958 --> 00:14:56,999
a pyramid-shaped object,
281
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,250
a literal, 3D,
pyramid-shaped object,
282
00:15:00,375 --> 00:15:03,000
floating above the USS Russell
283
00:15:03,083 --> 00:15:04,542
off the West Coast.
284
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:07,333
And it wasn't just one pyramid.
285
00:15:07,375 --> 00:15:09,750
There were apparently
swarms of these things,
286
00:15:09,833 --> 00:15:13,167
about 700 feet above
this Navy destroyer,
287
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:15,750
completely silent,
making no noise
288
00:15:15,875 --> 00:15:18,417
and darting off at
immeasurable speeds.
289
00:15:19,542 --> 00:15:22,333
It's a
fascinating idea that perhaps
290
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:25,958
extraterrestrials
first arrived in Egypt
291
00:15:26,042 --> 00:15:29,583
in these small,
pyramid-shaped craft,
292
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,042
like we're seeing in this video.
293
00:15:31,125 --> 00:15:34,125
Clearly, what
we see in this footage of today
294
00:15:34,208 --> 00:15:38,957
is three-dimensional
pyramid floating in the sky.
295
00:15:38,958 --> 00:15:40,833
Providing the footage is real,
296
00:15:40,917 --> 00:15:41,292
providing it is
extraterrestrial,
297
00:15:41,917 --> 00:15:43,333
providing it is
extraterrestrial,
298
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:46,000
then one could argue
299
00:15:46,042 --> 00:15:48,750
that the same visitors
that we've had back then
300
00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:50,583
are showing themselves again.
301
00:15:56,583 --> 00:15:57,957
What's fascinating to me
302
00:15:57,958 --> 00:15:59,184
is that in many
parts of the world,
303
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:02,374
we can find ancient
illustrations of objects
304
00:16:02,375 --> 00:16:05,125
that people allegedly
saw in the sky
305
00:16:05,208 --> 00:16:08,167
that look identical
to modern spacecraft.
306
00:16:09,375 --> 00:16:12,667
Coming in at number
six on our countdown of
307
00:16:12,792 --> 00:16:14,999
the top ten alien craft...
308
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Rocket Ships.
309
00:16:21,667 --> 00:16:23,458
Palenque, Mexico.
310
00:16:23,542 --> 00:16:25,458
1952.
311
00:16:25,542 --> 00:16:30,208
Archaeologist Alberto
Ruz Lhuillier discovers
312
00:16:30,333 --> 00:16:33,000
the pyramid tomb of King Pakal,
313
00:16:33,083 --> 00:16:39,000
who ruled the ancient Mayan
city from 615 to 683 AD.
314
00:16:39,125 --> 00:16:43,042
Inside, he discovers one
of the most remarkable
315
00:16:43,125 --> 00:16:45,333
Mayan artifacts ever found:
316
00:16:45,417 --> 00:16:47,958
a highly decorated sarcophagus.
317
00:16:49,625 --> 00:16:53,000
Pakal's sarcophagus
lid is very rich in detail.
318
00:16:53,042 --> 00:16:55,625
It shows what appears
to be a world tree,
319
00:16:55,708 --> 00:16:59,125
and a vision serpent,
as the Mayans refer to it,
320
00:16:59,208 --> 00:17:01,917
that snakes its
way up this tree.
321
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,833
The glyphs that are
attached to it say that
322
00:17:03,917 --> 00:17:06,625
this tree is
shimmering or shining.
323
00:17:06,708 --> 00:17:07,708
It's reflective.
324
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Mainstream scholars believe
325
00:17:11,042 --> 00:17:14,000
the sarcophagus lid
portrays King Pakal
326
00:17:14,083 --> 00:17:18,042
on a journey to Xibalba,
the land of the dead.
327
00:17:18,208 --> 00:17:20,417
But ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
328
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:24,375
the carving depicts
something very different.
329
00:17:24,458 --> 00:17:25,976
In the center of the frame,
330
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,833
King Pakal is sitting
bending forward
331
00:17:29,958 --> 00:17:32,250
almost like a, a
racing motorcyclist.
332
00:17:33,375 --> 00:17:36,375
He has something like a mask,
an oxygen mask on his nose.
333
00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:38,667
You clearly see his two hands.
334
00:17:38,750 --> 00:17:41,125
He manipulates some control.
335
00:17:41,208 --> 00:17:43,167
He's sitting on a chair,
336
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:47,000
and outside of the frame,
you see something like a flame.
337
00:17:47,042 --> 00:17:49,167
It looks like an exhaust.
338
00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:52,583
It looks like some
sort of space shuttle.
339
00:17:55,542 --> 00:17:59,167
The idea of
King Pakal sitting at the controls
340
00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:02,458
of a rocket ship might
sound like science fiction.
341
00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:06,333
But ancient astronaut
theorists suggest that
342
00:18:06,417 --> 00:18:09,917
nearly identical carvings
can be found in India.
343
00:18:10,042 --> 00:18:13,500
In Ajanta caves, there
are many carvings
344
00:18:13,625 --> 00:18:16,500
of Buddha inside stupas.
345
00:18:16,583 --> 00:18:20,500
From the front, it appears
as though Buddha is
346
00:18:20,583 --> 00:18:24,375
standing inside an
elaborately carved arch,
347
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:25,958
but the fact is
348
00:18:26,042 --> 00:18:28,042
what we are
seeing from the front
349
00:18:28,167 --> 00:18:32,042
is a cross section of a stupa
350
00:18:32,125 --> 00:18:35,750
inside of which
Buddha is standing.
351
00:18:35,875 --> 00:18:37,583
And what is a stupa?
352
00:18:37,708 --> 00:18:42,167
It is nothing but
some kind of a vehicle.
353
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,833
- A
- stupa, by definition,
354
00:18:45,917 --> 00:18:49,500
is a vehicle with which to
reach the realm of the gods.
355
00:18:49,583 --> 00:18:51,958
That is the
definition of a stupa.
356
00:18:52,042 --> 00:18:55,207
Well, just change
the wording: "a vehicle
357
00:18:55,208 --> 00:18:58,125
with which to reach space."
358
00:18:58,208 --> 00:19:01,125
These stupas can be seen...
359
00:19:01,208 --> 00:19:03,000
For example, in
the Ajanta Cave...
360
00:19:03,083 --> 00:19:04,792
With smoke and
fire at the bottom.
361
00:19:04,875 --> 00:19:09,333
If we had one or ten or
even 20 examples like that,
362
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:11,417
you could be like
"All right, interesting."
363
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:17,125
But what if I told you there
are millions of the same motif
364
00:19:17,208 --> 00:19:20,375
in India about celestial beings
365
00:19:20,458 --> 00:19:24,000
depicted in something
that could be interpreted
366
00:19:24,042 --> 00:19:26,667
as some type of
a rocket vehicle.
367
00:19:28,542 --> 00:19:31,667
There are countless examples
of ancient artwork depicting
368
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:35,333
what many think
could be aerial vehicles,
369
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:39,000
and in some cases,
you can even find figures
370
00:19:39,042 --> 00:19:41,125
wearing what
looks like flying gear
371
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:42,500
right on their bodies.
372
00:19:42,583 --> 00:19:45,792
At number five on
our countdown...
373
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:47,542
Jet Packs.
374
00:19:53,333 --> 00:19:55,042
La Venta, Mexico.
375
00:19:55,125 --> 00:19:57,042
1939.
376
00:19:57,125 --> 00:20:00,292
American archaeologists
Matthew Stirling
377
00:20:00,375 --> 00:20:02,624
and Philip Drucker
378
00:20:02,625 --> 00:20:06,375
begin an excavation of
an ancient pyramid mound.
379
00:20:06,458 --> 00:20:09,125
Over the next two decades,
380
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,667
they unearth
extraordinary statues,
381
00:20:11,792 --> 00:20:15,875
carvings and mosaics from
a previously unknown culture:
382
00:20:15,958 --> 00:20:18,167
the Olmecs,
383
00:20:18,208 --> 00:20:22,458
a civilization that
emerged around 1400 BC.
384
00:20:23,542 --> 00:20:26,667
The discovery is a
major archeological find
385
00:20:26,708 --> 00:20:29,875
and produced a
sensational piece of evidence
386
00:20:29,958 --> 00:20:31,958
for the ancient
astronaut theory.
387
00:20:33,875 --> 00:20:36,333
At the Museum of
Natural History in New York City,
388
00:20:36,375 --> 00:20:38,333
there is an Olmec figurine,
389
00:20:38,375 --> 00:20:41,333
and in my opinion,
it is the smoking gun
390
00:20:41,417 --> 00:20:45,417
of our ancestors having
access to aviation technology...
391
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:49,000
because if you
look at this figurine,
392
00:20:49,125 --> 00:20:54,292
you can tell that this guy is
wearing some sort of a suit,
393
00:20:54,375 --> 00:20:58,375
he has some type of controls
with tubes on his chest,
394
00:20:58,458 --> 00:21:02,917
and on the side you have
six wings coming out of him.
395
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,708
So you have to wonder
what is depicted here.
396
00:21:07,083 --> 00:21:09,500
Now, if you look at
a modern jet pack,
397
00:21:09,583 --> 00:21:11,958
humans are ascending
and descending
398
00:21:12,042 --> 00:21:13,500
in a vertical position.
399
00:21:13,583 --> 00:21:18,083
Now imagine if that was
shown to our ancestors.
400
00:21:18,167 --> 00:21:20,667
How would they react?
401
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:24,000
The technological frame of
reference of our ancestors
402
00:21:24,167 --> 00:21:25,583
was not the same as
403
00:21:25,667 --> 00:21:28,583
our technological
frame of reference today.
404
00:21:28,667 --> 00:21:32,457
So of course they would
have carved something like this
405
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,958
when they had
never seen a vehicle
406
00:21:35,042 --> 00:21:36,667
with which to go to space.
407
00:21:38,208 --> 00:21:40,875
Could it be that a figurine
408
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,458
made more than 2400 years
ago is a depiction of someone
409
00:21:45,542 --> 00:21:49,458
wearing the equivalent
of a modern-day jet pack?
410
00:21:49,583 --> 00:21:52,542
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
411
00:21:52,625 --> 00:21:55,667
and suggest other
figures have been found
412
00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:59,292
that appear to be wearing
some type of flying apparatus...
413
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:05,000
like the 13-foot-tall statues
at the Temple of Quetzalcoatl
414
00:22:05,042 --> 00:22:07,625
in Tula de Allende, Mexico.
415
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:11,667
There are
figures on the main pyramid.
416
00:22:11,792 --> 00:22:15,167
And they're some of the
most magnificent statues
417
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:17,292
that we can find
on planet Earth.
418
00:22:18,417 --> 00:22:22,042
Because it's as if
these guys are standing
419
00:22:22,125 --> 00:22:24,917
inside some pressurized suits,
420
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,875
they have helmets on,
421
00:22:26,958 --> 00:22:30,833
and they have these
jet packs on their chest.
422
00:22:32,333 --> 00:22:34,375
On the
opposite side of the globe,
423
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:35,833
at the Ellora Caves in India,
424
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:40,000
is a 1200-year-old carving
of a demon king named
425
00:22:40,083 --> 00:22:43,417
Ravana depicted in a scene
from the ancient Hindu text
426
00:22:43,542 --> 00:22:45,500
called the Ramayana.
427
00:22:45,583 --> 00:22:49,167
In the scene, Ravana is
being attacked by a bird
428
00:22:49,292 --> 00:22:52,042
while ascending into the sky,
429
00:22:52,125 --> 00:22:55,792
and according to the story,
the curious object on his back
430
00:22:55,875 --> 00:23:00,583
is a flying contraption
called a pushpaka vimana.
431
00:23:00,667 --> 00:23:03,542
Ravana
does appear in many Hindu texts
432
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:07,500
like epics,
Mahabharata, Ramayana,
433
00:23:07,583 --> 00:23:10,958
and many other puranas,
which is Hindu... Hindu texts.
434
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,667
We are told that, you
know, he constructed
435
00:23:14,708 --> 00:23:18,792
a pushpaka vimana,
this flying machine.
436
00:23:18,875 --> 00:23:21,208
This pushpaka
vimana is made of gold.
437
00:23:21,292 --> 00:23:22,917
It is like a jet pack
438
00:23:23,042 --> 00:23:25,500
that you could put it on
and you could start flying.
439
00:23:25,625 --> 00:23:27,042
We have jet packs now,
440
00:23:27,125 --> 00:23:28,667
but, interestingly,
441
00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:31,667
almost all these
machines were mentioned
442
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:34,499
5,000 years ago in Mahabharata.
443
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,292
Is it possible that
444
00:23:36,375 --> 00:23:39,000
the mysterious figures
depicted wearing
445
00:23:39,125 --> 00:23:40,667
what appear to be jet packs
446
00:23:40,708 --> 00:23:45,250
are evidence our ancestors
saw extraterrestrial spacecraft
447
00:23:45,333 --> 00:23:47,167
in the distant past?
448
00:23:47,208 --> 00:23:49,667
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
449
00:23:49,708 --> 00:23:52,375
and suggest further evidence
450
00:23:52,458 --> 00:23:55,083
can be found in
ancient descriptions
451
00:23:55,167 --> 00:23:57,500
of flying chariots.
452
00:24:02,333 --> 00:24:04,041
Some of the best descriptions
453
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:05,167
of ancient UFOs can be found
454
00:24:05,250 --> 00:24:07,500
in the Sanskrit texts of India.
455
00:24:07,542 --> 00:24:10,667
The sensational stories
are filled with accounts
456
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:14,417
of celestial beings
and flying chariots.
457
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:16,875
But the craft
described in these texts
458
00:24:16,958 --> 00:24:21,000
look remarkably similar to
some modern UFO reports.
459
00:24:22,208 --> 00:24:27,083
At number four on our
list... Acorn-Shaped Craft.
460
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,833
Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.
461
00:24:31,917 --> 00:24:35,792
December 9, 1965.
462
00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:38,792
Thousands of people watch
463
00:24:38,875 --> 00:24:42,292
as a massive fireball
streaks across the night sky
464
00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:46,000
and crashes into
a nearby forest.
465
00:24:49,125 --> 00:24:51,167
A large object was seen
466
00:24:51,250 --> 00:24:54,417
to come down in a wooded area.
467
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:58,750
And witnesses actually claimed
468
00:24:58,875 --> 00:25:00,375
that this strange object,
469
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:03,167
which was the size of
a Volkswagen Beetle,
470
00:25:03,250 --> 00:25:06,750
looked like what appeared
to be a giant acorn.
471
00:25:08,625 --> 00:25:10,332
The phones went off,
472
00:25:10,333 --> 00:25:11,792
and all of the volunteer
473
00:25:11,875 --> 00:25:14,125
fire departments all around,
474
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:17,333
"We have a plane crash
in the woods of Kecksburg."
475
00:25:17,417 --> 00:25:19,500
Well, there was a man
named Jim Romanski,
476
00:25:19,583 --> 00:25:23,292
and I had a real privilege
to talk with him directly,
477
00:25:23,375 --> 00:25:24,875
in March of 1998...
478
00:25:26,583 --> 00:25:29,708
because he was one
of only about ten people
479
00:25:29,792 --> 00:25:31,958
who stood around this object,
480
00:25:32,042 --> 00:25:36,042
in that forest... officially,
as a volunteer fireman...
481
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:38,625
Walking around and
trying to understand,
482
00:25:38,708 --> 00:25:40,750
"What are we looking at?"
483
00:25:42,417 --> 00:25:45,083
And he said, "It
was like an acorn.
484
00:25:45,167 --> 00:25:48,000
"And at the top, it
was copper-colored.
485
00:25:48,042 --> 00:25:50,250
"And then in the bottom,
it was a darker color.
486
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:55,375
"And there was a band,
about four inches wide,
487
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:58,292
"and raised up...
not carved in...
488
00:25:58,375 --> 00:26:03,208
Were symbols that went
around a portion of this craft."
489
00:26:03,292 --> 00:26:07,000
Suddenly, the
military entered the area,
490
00:26:07,083 --> 00:26:09,125
cordoned it off,
491
00:26:09,208 --> 00:26:11,667
and the whole thing was
essentially hushed up.
492
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:15,500
The official report from NASA
493
00:26:15,583 --> 00:26:17,583
stated that the
object was debris
494
00:26:17,708 --> 00:26:19,417
from a Russian satellite,
495
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:21,833
even though witnesses claimed
496
00:26:21,958 --> 00:26:25,083
it changed direction
several times.
497
00:26:27,833 --> 00:26:31,167
Today, a monument to
the acorn-shaped craft
498
00:26:31,250 --> 00:26:33,958
stands in the town of Kecksburg.
499
00:26:34,042 --> 00:26:36,750
For ancient astronaut theorists,
500
00:26:36,875 --> 00:26:40,833
this UFO event is
particularly intriguing
501
00:26:40,917 --> 00:26:43,417
because the object's
unusual shape
502
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:45,167
bears a striking resemblance
503
00:26:45,208 --> 00:26:50,375
to flying objects described
in ancient Indian texts.
504
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:52,042
The craft itself is
505
00:26:52,167 --> 00:26:54,000
an acorn-shaped craft.
506
00:26:54,125 --> 00:26:56,250
Immediately,
that's reminiscent of
507
00:26:56,333 --> 00:26:57,583
what the ancient Indian texts
508
00:26:57,708 --> 00:26:59,583
described as the vimana,
509
00:26:59,667 --> 00:27:02,000
which were acorn-shaped craft.
510
00:27:03,167 --> 00:27:06,583
In the Mahabharata
and at many of the ancient Vedic texts,
511
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:09,583
they speak about the
so-called "vimanas."
512
00:27:09,667 --> 00:27:11,583
The vimanas were flying vehicles
513
00:27:11,667 --> 00:27:14,250
with which to reach
the celestial realm.
514
00:27:15,292 --> 00:27:18,250
In the ancient
Sanskrit epics of India,
515
00:27:18,333 --> 00:27:21,542
there are highly-detailed
descriptions of the vimana,
516
00:27:21,625 --> 00:27:23,000
which carried the gods
517
00:27:23,083 --> 00:27:26,000
and other important
figures through the sky.
518
00:27:26,083 --> 00:27:28,875
The acorn-shaped craft
were even incorporated
519
00:27:28,958 --> 00:27:32,833
at the very top of
many Hindu temples.
520
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:34,125
In Hindu texts,
521
00:27:34,208 --> 00:27:37,458
such as the Ramayana
or the Mahabharata,
522
00:27:37,542 --> 00:27:41,833
the vimana is
primarily a flying ship
523
00:27:41,875 --> 00:27:43,917
that God used to travel
524
00:27:44,042 --> 00:27:47,000
back and forth between spaces
525
00:27:47,125 --> 00:27:51,750
in heaven from one
planet to another planet,
526
00:27:51,833 --> 00:27:54,750
from one universe
to another universe,
527
00:27:54,875 --> 00:27:57,750
and also come to Earth.
528
00:27:57,833 --> 00:28:00,292
When we match
up eyewitness accounts
529
00:28:00,375 --> 00:28:03,375
of the acorn-shaped craft
with the ancient vimanas,
530
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:08,333
we have to be open to seriously
question if these are, in fact,
531
00:28:08,417 --> 00:28:11,083
ancient craft that are now
appearing in our modern world.
532
00:28:14,042 --> 00:28:17,667
Some vimanas are
portrayed as small objects
533
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:20,875
that could travel at
incredible speeds.
534
00:28:20,958 --> 00:28:22,917
But these weren't the
only flying machines
535
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,542
in Hindu mythology.
536
00:28:24,625 --> 00:28:28,375
The ancient Sanskrit texts
also described ships in the sky
537
00:28:28,458 --> 00:28:30,958
that were simply massive.
538
00:28:31,042 --> 00:28:34,833
Number three on our
list... Floating Cities.
539
00:28:38,167 --> 00:28:41,000
S To the more
than one billion Hindu faithful,
540
00:28:41,042 --> 00:28:46,000
India's oldest Sanskrit
texts, known as the Vedas,
541
00:28:46,083 --> 00:28:50,125
are accounts given directly
to humans by the gods.
542
00:28:51,167 --> 00:28:54,667
These sensational stories
describe divine beings
543
00:28:54,750 --> 00:28:57,875
arriving from
palaces up in the sky.
544
00:28:59,750 --> 00:29:02,625
All these Vedic
texts speak of a time
545
00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:06,000
when three cities
were orbiting Earth...
546
00:29:07,333 --> 00:29:11,666
and from these cities,
smaller vehicles were used
547
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:14,167
in order to reach the
realm of the Earth.
548
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:18,333
Even extraterrestrials, with
their advanced technology,
549
00:29:18,417 --> 00:29:21,208
would have to arrive
with a larger mother ship.
550
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:24,708
And this is why we
have these stories
551
00:29:24,792 --> 00:29:27,167
of palaces up in the sky.
552
00:29:27,292 --> 00:29:30,792
Could it be
that the people of ancient India
553
00:29:30,875 --> 00:29:32,500
witnessed enormous mother ships
554
00:29:32,542 --> 00:29:36,417
that they interpreted as
floating cities or palaces?
555
00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:41,042
Curiously, in modern times,
556
00:29:41,125 --> 00:29:44,208
there have been reports...
And even recordings...
557
00:29:44,333 --> 00:29:48,749
Of what look like actual cities
appearing high up in the sky.
558
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:52,458
One such event
occurred in Foshan, China,
559
00:29:52,542 --> 00:29:55,833
on October 7, 2015,
560
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:58,042
when the apparition
of a cityscape
561
00:29:58,125 --> 00:30:01,042
remained in the sky
for several minutes...
562
00:30:01,125 --> 00:30:03,417
Long enough to be
captured on video.
563
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:08,083
The video footage was
broadcast on Chinese television
564
00:30:08,208 --> 00:30:12,208
and subsequently disseminated
on social media across the globe.
565
00:30:12,917 --> 00:30:15,000
Numerous people reported seeing
566
00:30:15,042 --> 00:30:17,917
what looked like
skyscraper-type buildings
567
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,167
in the clouds high in the sky.
568
00:30:21,083 --> 00:30:23,000
It was an amazing spectacle.
569
00:30:23,042 --> 00:30:25,333
There's just no other
way to describe it.
570
00:30:25,458 --> 00:30:28,917
Now, just a
few days later, over 800 miles away,
571
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,917
we had another sighting of
this exact same phenomenon.
572
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,667
So it stands to reason
573
00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:34,893
there could in fact have been
574
00:30:34,917 --> 00:30:36,833
some type of a large mother ship
575
00:30:36,958 --> 00:30:38,542
or some craft in the sky.
576
00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:42,250
Is it possible
that the floating city reported
577
00:30:42,333 --> 00:30:47,042
in two locations in China was
a massive alien mother ship?
578
00:30:47,125 --> 00:30:50,083
And if so, could it
be the same craft
579
00:30:50,167 --> 00:30:53,042
described in
ancient Hindu texts?
580
00:30:53,125 --> 00:30:57,167
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and suggest
581
00:30:57,250 --> 00:30:58,726
further evidence that our planet
is being visited by alien craft
582
00:30:58,750 --> 00:31:02,000
further evidence that our planet
is being visited by alien craft
583
00:31:02,083 --> 00:31:04,917
can be found by
examining striking images
584
00:31:05,042 --> 00:31:06,917
captured not on Earth
585
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,458
but in outer space.
586
00:31:14,208 --> 00:31:15,000
One of the most
important factors
587
00:31:15,125 --> 00:31:16,667
to consider when evaluating
588
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:18,000
a UFO sighting
589
00:31:18,125 --> 00:31:20,167
is the credibility
of the witness.
590
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:22,667
And perhaps there
are no better experts
591
00:31:22,792 --> 00:31:24,375
on objects in the sky
592
00:31:24,458 --> 00:31:28,042
than the men and women
of the space program.
593
00:31:28,125 --> 00:31:31,375
Which is why our next
example is so exciting,
594
00:31:31,458 --> 00:31:34,166
because they have been
seen not only on Earth
595
00:31:34,167 --> 00:31:36,167
but deep in our solar system.
596
00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:41,667
At number two on our list
of the top ten alien craft...
597
00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,083
Cigar-Shaped Objects.
598
00:31:45,458 --> 00:31:49,083
Mount
Washington, New Hampshire, 1870.
599
00:31:50,917 --> 00:31:54,542
During a meteorological
expedition in the area,
600
00:31:54,625 --> 00:31:58,917
photographers capture a
strange black object on film
601
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,083
that appears to be
floating among the clouds.
602
00:32:03,167 --> 00:32:05,125
The very first photo
603
00:32:05,208 --> 00:32:07,958
that we have of a UFO is of a,
604
00:32:08,042 --> 00:32:10,332
a huge cylindrical craft
605
00:32:10,333 --> 00:32:12,333
over Mount Washington
in New Hampshire...
606
00:32:13,375 --> 00:32:18,333
taken in 1870, right at the
very beginning of photography.
607
00:32:18,375 --> 00:32:20,250
You see this cloud formation
608
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:22,333
up at Mount Washington
609
00:32:22,417 --> 00:32:27,458
and you see this very
obvious cigar-shaped object.
610
00:32:27,542 --> 00:32:30,833
Is the photograph
authentic? And turns out it is.
611
00:32:31,917 --> 00:32:35,333
Since the
Mount Washington photograph,
612
00:32:35,417 --> 00:32:38,625
cigar-shaped craft have
been reportedly seen
613
00:32:38,708 --> 00:32:40,333
all over the world.
614
00:32:40,417 --> 00:32:44,042
Like in December of 1978,
615
00:32:44,167 --> 00:32:46,416
when two Chilean pilots
on a training mission
616
00:32:46,417 --> 00:32:51,000
at an elevation of
35,000 feet detected
617
00:32:51,083 --> 00:32:54,292
a massive cigar-shaped
object on their radar.
618
00:32:55,917 --> 00:33:00,542
They encountered, visually
and on their airborne radar...
619
00:33:01,625 --> 00:33:06,042
an absolutely enormous
object in the sky.
620
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,583
In fact, two separate
621
00:33:08,667 --> 00:33:10,792
ground-based radars
tracked this object.
622
00:33:10,875 --> 00:33:13,250
As the pilots
approached this object,
623
00:33:13,375 --> 00:33:16,583
one of them described
it as an elongated object
624
00:33:16,667 --> 00:33:18,708
swathed in smoke.
625
00:33:19,917 --> 00:33:21,375
As it got to a certain distance,
626
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:23,333
this thing, according
to their report,
627
00:33:23,417 --> 00:33:26,667
instantly accelerated
to the west,
628
00:33:26,750 --> 00:33:29,167
in the direction of the ocean,
629
00:33:29,250 --> 00:33:30,417
and was just gone.
630
00:33:31,583 --> 00:33:35,208
Over 40 years
later, another cigar-shaped craft
631
00:33:35,292 --> 00:33:39,833
was reported almost
7,000 miles away in Hawaii.
632
00:33:41,375 --> 00:33:43,500
On December 29, 2020,
633
00:33:43,583 --> 00:33:49,041
people could see a
huge, cigar-shaped craft
634
00:33:49,042 --> 00:33:52,833
hovering off the coast
and took photos of it,
635
00:33:52,917 --> 00:33:55,000
and, eventually,
636
00:33:55,083 --> 00:33:57,833
this craft then
plunged into the ocean.
637
00:33:57,875 --> 00:34:01,375
And the Navy went
out there to also look for
638
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:04,417
possible wreckage of some craft
639
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,833
crashing into the
ocean and found nothing.
640
00:34:07,917 --> 00:34:10,708
Could these
strange, cigar-shaped objects
641
00:34:10,792 --> 00:34:14,292
belong to visitors
from another world?
642
00:34:14,375 --> 00:34:18,000
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer can be found
643
00:34:18,083 --> 00:34:21,167
by examining a
curious radar image
644
00:34:21,250 --> 00:34:25,667
taken more than 130
million miles from Earth.
645
00:34:28,042 --> 00:34:31,708
On March 25, 1989,
646
00:34:31,792 --> 00:34:35,583
a Soviet probe was approaching
the Martian moon Phobos
647
00:34:35,667 --> 00:34:39,375
when it beamed back an
astonishing image to Earth.
648
00:34:39,458 --> 00:34:41,417
As they got closer with Phobos
649
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:42,958
we see one last frame
650
00:34:43,042 --> 00:34:44,292
that seems to have showed up...
651
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:47,750
a very large,
cigar-elongated shape,
652
00:34:47,833 --> 00:34:51,457
as if it's possibly a
large craft of some kind
653
00:34:51,458 --> 00:34:53,375
hovering above the surface.
654
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:56,250
We really have to
consider the possibility here
655
00:34:56,375 --> 00:34:59,125
that the Soviets did encounter
656
00:34:59,208 --> 00:35:01,292
genuine, non-human UFO
657
00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:03,375
during that mission.
658
00:35:05,375 --> 00:35:08,542
Is it possible that
the strange cigar-shaped object
659
00:35:08,625 --> 00:35:11,250
photographed by
the Soviet probe was
660
00:35:11,333 --> 00:35:13,750
an extraterrestrial spacecraft?
661
00:35:14,833 --> 00:35:19,167
Incredibly, another massive
cigar-shaped object was spotted
662
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:23,500
traveling through our
solar system in 2017.
663
00:35:24,667 --> 00:35:28,333
Astronomers discovered
that it came from a distant star,
664
00:35:28,417 --> 00:35:31,541
and gave it the Hawaiian
name "Oumuamua,"
665
00:35:31,542 --> 00:35:35,250
which means "messenger
from the distant past."
666
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,792
Oumuamua doesn't look like
667
00:35:38,917 --> 00:35:39,917
a typical asteroid.
668
00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:44,792
It's more the big
cigar-shape that's seen often.
669
00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:48,292
And there were a lot of
astronomers and scientists
670
00:35:48,375 --> 00:35:52,250
who studied Oumuamua
and it looks like
671
00:35:52,333 --> 00:35:55,000
it could possibly
have been a probe
672
00:35:55,042 --> 00:35:59,708
from some other civilization
outside our solar system.
673
00:35:59,792 --> 00:36:01,707
We're just moments away
674
00:36:01,708 --> 00:36:04,667
from the final alien
craft on our list.
675
00:36:04,708 --> 00:36:07,167
And we've saved
the best for last.
676
00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:09,500
Can you guess what it is?
677
00:36:14,167 --> 00:36:15,416
As we've seen,
throughout history
678
00:36:15,417 --> 00:36:16,500
there have been reports
679
00:36:16,625 --> 00:36:18,917
of unidentified aerial vehicles
680
00:36:19,042 --> 00:36:21,333
of all shapes and sizes.
681
00:36:21,375 --> 00:36:24,833
But for most people, when
they hear the word "UFO,"
682
00:36:24,917 --> 00:36:28,667
the first thing they think
of is the number one entry
683
00:36:28,750 --> 00:36:33,000
on our top ten
list of alien craft...
684
00:36:33,083 --> 00:36:35,333
The Flying Saucer.
685
00:36:42,125 --> 00:36:44,791
Private pilot Kenneth Arnold
686
00:36:44,792 --> 00:36:47,542
is on a solo flight
near Mount Rainier.
687
00:36:47,625 --> 00:36:51,500
As he approaches the
mountain, he suddenly spots
688
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:54,708
a group of nine silver,
disc-shaped objects.
689
00:36:54,792 --> 00:36:56,875
As he was flying
around the mountain,
690
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
he suddenly caught sight of
691
00:36:59,125 --> 00:37:01,250
a squadron of
strange-looking objects.
692
00:37:01,333 --> 00:37:03,708
He could not figure
out what they were.
693
00:37:03,792 --> 00:37:06,000
They were flying
at incredible speeds
694
00:37:06,083 --> 00:37:09,500
and performing maneuvers
that essentially would kill
695
00:37:09,583 --> 00:37:12,333
any regular pilot
in a normal aircraft.
696
00:37:13,417 --> 00:37:17,542
He described
them as skipping through the air
697
00:37:17,625 --> 00:37:20,875
like a saucer, he said.
698
00:37:20,958 --> 00:37:22,167
And this is really where
699
00:37:22,208 --> 00:37:25,042
the term "a flying saucer"
700
00:37:25,167 --> 00:37:26,625
arrives in English language,
701
00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:28,833
is from Kenneth
Arnold's description.
702
00:37:29,917 --> 00:37:32,875
Arnold's account
became an international sensation
703
00:37:32,958 --> 00:37:36,458
and his experience emboldened
others to come forward
704
00:37:36,542 --> 00:37:39,708
with their own
unexplainable encounters.
705
00:37:40,875 --> 00:37:42,708
In a few short months,
706
00:37:42,792 --> 00:37:46,583
hundreds of flying saucers
were reported across the country.
707
00:37:46,708 --> 00:37:49,667
When you look at the year 1947,
708
00:37:49,708 --> 00:37:53,167
the statistics are that there
were at least 800 reports
709
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:55,750
to police, and airports,
710
00:37:55,833 --> 00:37:58,708
of people saying that they
were seeing something in the sky,
711
00:37:58,792 --> 00:38:00,167
they didn't know what it was.
712
00:38:00,250 --> 00:38:02,708
Ufologists may say
713
00:38:02,792 --> 00:38:06,500
that the modern UFO
era began in 1947.
714
00:38:06,583 --> 00:38:08,250
But flying saucers
715
00:38:08,333 --> 00:38:09,333
have been around
716
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:10,917
ever since the dawn of time.
717
00:38:11,042 --> 00:38:12,500
For example,
718
00:38:12,583 --> 00:38:17,000
in the ninth century, there
were UFOs flying over England.
719
00:38:17,167 --> 00:38:20,333
The Romans saw UFOs.
720
00:38:20,417 --> 00:38:26,417
What's our actual first
major UFO description?
721
00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:28,417
The first one?
722
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,375
It's in the Bible.
723
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:33,458
According to the Hebrew Bible,
724
00:38:33,542 --> 00:38:37,208
a priest named Ezekiel
received a mysterious visitor
725
00:38:37,333 --> 00:38:38,500
from the heavens.
726
00:38:38,625 --> 00:38:41,000
Ezekiel was by the River Khabur,
727
00:38:41,083 --> 00:38:44,000
and he said a great
whirlwind came toward him.
728
00:38:45,792 --> 00:38:48,500
He described it as
a fire enfolding itself
729
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:49,833
and out of the fire
730
00:38:49,958 --> 00:38:54,417
was the color of amber,
which is the Hebrew word
731
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:57,250
which means "polished
specter of metal,"
732
00:38:57,333 --> 00:38:59,833
which implies
that it's metallic.
733
00:38:59,917 --> 00:39:03,792
And that it's spinning,
and it lands in front of him.
734
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:05,458
And suddenly,
735
00:39:05,542 --> 00:39:09,167
out of this whirlwind
come four creatures.
736
00:39:10,708 --> 00:39:12,667
Ezekiel describes that
737
00:39:12,792 --> 00:39:15,291
the outside of the
wheel doesn't spin.
738
00:39:15,292 --> 00:39:17,708
The inside of the wheel spins.
739
00:39:17,792 --> 00:39:20,667
So he's telling us
that's the engines.
740
00:39:21,708 --> 00:39:23,708
None of this necessarily
has to be magic.
741
00:39:23,792 --> 00:39:25,667
This could all be technology.
742
00:39:26,708 --> 00:39:30,125
By far, the most
famous report of a flying saucer
743
00:39:30,208 --> 00:39:33,583
occurred on July 8, 1947,
744
00:39:33,667 --> 00:39:37,667
when the U.S. Army itself
announced that one crashed
745
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:39,958
outside Roswell, New Mexico.
746
00:39:40,042 --> 00:39:44,042
July 8 and 9,
the newspaper headlines,
747
00:39:44,125 --> 00:39:47,625
"Army Captures Flying
Disc Outside of Roswell."
748
00:39:47,708 --> 00:39:49,417
How did the newspaper
get that story?
749
00:39:49,542 --> 00:39:50,917
Walter Haut.
750
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,333
He was the official
public information officer
751
00:39:53,375 --> 00:39:54,792
at the Roswell 509th,
752
00:39:54,875 --> 00:39:56,500
who gave the story
to the newspaper.
753
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,917
Within days, the
military walked back the story
754
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,125
and suggested the flying
saucer had an earthly origin.
755
00:40:06,375 --> 00:40:08,417
The initial story was that
756
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:09,542
the Army recovered
757
00:40:09,625 --> 00:40:11,125
one of these flying disks.
758
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:15,167
Now, by the next day, a lot
of other major newspapers
759
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:17,000
came out with the story that,
760
00:40:17,083 --> 00:40:19,750
"Nope, all a mistake. Just
a weather balloon, people."
761
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:23,292
Did a flying saucer really crash
762
00:40:23,375 --> 00:40:25,750
outside of Roswell, New Mexico?
763
00:40:25,833 --> 00:40:28,917
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
764
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,333
and as evidence, they
point to a sensational file
765
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:35,583
released by the FBI in 2011.
766
00:40:36,625 --> 00:40:39,833
The document
contains a 1950 briefing
767
00:40:39,875 --> 00:40:42,500
given to FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover
768
00:40:42,542 --> 00:40:44,833
about three flying saucers
769
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:47,583
that were recovered
in New Mexico.
770
00:40:47,667 --> 00:40:50,583
So, what's
really happening at Roswell?
771
00:40:50,708 --> 00:40:53,792
Was it an
extraterrestrial craft?
772
00:40:54,958 --> 00:40:57,833
It's a fantastic thought,
but it's possible.
773
00:40:58,875 --> 00:41:03,792
Well, that's the end of our
top ten alien craft countdown.
774
00:41:03,875 --> 00:41:06,333
And while it literally flew by,
775
00:41:06,417 --> 00:41:08,167
we're left with a
burning question:
776
00:41:09,375 --> 00:41:11,457
Why has mankind witnessed
777
00:41:11,458 --> 00:41:13,500
so many mysterious
craft in the sky
778
00:41:13,625 --> 00:41:16,583
for thousands of years?
779
00:41:16,667 --> 00:41:19,917
Perhaps, as we continue
to study these encounters,
780
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,667
the truth will finally
be revealed.
781
00:41:24,708 --> 00:41:26,333
We are not alone.
782
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:29,833
We have never been alone.
783
00:41:29,917 --> 00:41:32,208
