1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Wings,

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
winged creatures,

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
carrying messages from the heavens,

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,000
unearthly guardians entrusted to both observe and protect,

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,000
powerful warriors bringing about everything from plague to peace.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
But are angels merely the product of mankind's imagination?

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Or do they really exist?

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
If so, where do they come from?

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
When angels appear, they begin to do things that defy our laws of physics.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I don't think they actually had wings.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
It was ancient man's way of saying they had the power of flight.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Are angels really supernatural beings from heaven?

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Or something more?

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
It's essentially a misinterpreted flesh and blood extraterrestrial

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
who visited Earth a long, long time ago.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
by extraterrestrial beings.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
What if it were true?

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000
If so, might angels really be travelers visiting the Earth from distant planets?

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Angels

22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
According to a Nielsen survey taken in 2010,

23
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
nearly 70% of Americans believe in their existence.

24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
But what are they?

25
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Winged visitors from God as depicted in the Bible?

26
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Smiling cherubs who peer down at us from billowing clouds?

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Or something much, much more?

28
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
The concept of angels is obviously very widespread, certainly in American culture.

29
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And you find it in Latin culture, Greek culture, Babylonian culture.

30
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
When we think of angels, we immediately think to the Bible.

31
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
But when you go onto the Internet, when you read books,

32
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
you will find that people have visitations of angels every single day.

33
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
In the Hebrew Bible's Book of Genesis, angels first appear as divine beings

34
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
sent to Earth as messengers of God.

35
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
They wanted to have God interacting with human beings,

36
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,000
but it seems so undignified to have God directly operating, so we sent messengers.

37
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
The word angel is a mistranslation.

38
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
In Hebrew, the word for angel is malach.

39
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
However, the correct translation is not angel at all,

40
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
but it is in fact messenger.

41
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
In Greek, the word angelos is not angel.

42
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
It is intermediary, middleman.

43
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And so what do we have in these stories?

44
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:01,000
We have these intermediaries, these messengers bringing information from quote-unquote God.

45
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
By definition, angels are otherworldly.

46
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Angels are extraterrestrial.

47
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
They're not from this planet.

48
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
So really by definition, ETs and angels are the same.

49
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Now our modern conception of ETs have changed,

50
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,000
but go back thousands and thousands of years when angels lived among our biblical ancestors.

51
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
They didn't call them ETs, they called them angels,

52
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000
but they knew they were not of this world, not of this planet.

53
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
But could some of these so-called messengers of God have served another function?

54
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
One not so benevolent or benign?

55
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
According to the book of Enoch, the so-called lost biblical text

56
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
that was rediscovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the late 1940s,

57
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
the first angels to arrive on Earth were the fallen angels.

58
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
It was on Mount Hermon that angels came down from the heavens, fallen angels, to inhabit Earth.

59
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000
They were trying to assume power, and because of that they were cast out from Heaven and cast down to Earth.

60
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Now to me, this sounds more of a mutiny story,

61
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
where extraterrestrials arrived here and there was a type of rift,

62
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
and so they split into two different factions.

63
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And the faction that split off is what today is referred to as the fallen angels.

64
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Enoch was a believer in angels, fallen angels, visitations,

65
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:01,000
but everything he put in his scriptures seemed to imply, to me, extraterrestrial visitation.

66
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,000
From craft that he saw, to mountain sides that they would land,

67
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000
to them taking him around and telling him things.

68
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Both in the book of Enoch and in the Hebrew Bible,

69
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,000
the fallen angels act in direct opposition to God's will by interbreeding with humans.

70
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000
In Genesis 6, it talks about the sons of God's, God's plural,

71
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
meeting with the daughters of men, and there was a certain evil connotation to it.

72
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
How can angels have sex?

73
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Enoch describes of it. Some of the extraterrestrials stood on Earth.

74
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
They had sex with some of our girls.

75
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
That is what is written down in Enoch. It's not my invention.

76
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Enoch never calls them gods. He calls them guardian of the skies or watchmen.

77
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000
According to ancient texts, the fallen angels not only physically made it with the women of Earth,

78
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
they produced offspring.

79
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:25,000
The Nephilim, a race of giants, similar to those portrayed in the story of David and Goliath.

80
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,000
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest the use of the term giants is misleading.

81
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
They theorize that the term refers not to the Nephilim's physical size,

82
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
but to their almost superhuman ability.

83
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Were they giants? Or is that the wrong word and the correct word should be extraterrestrial?

84
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Because then, in my opinion, it makes more sense because so far I have not seen an original fossil of a giant bone.

85
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:13,000
But if, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe, fallen angels were really extraterrestrials that first arrived in the Middle East,

86
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
wouldn't they have also appeared elsewhere in the world?

87
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,000
For proof, researchers point to thousands of carvings and other depictions of winged guardians,

88
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,000
strange creatures, and other half-man and half-beasts that commonly appear on ancient walls and artifacts.

89
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,000
There is such an enormous amount of evidence to suggest that angels are not something which Christianity invented,

90
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
but that they were somehow physically present in all civilizations.

91
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Ancient cultures that depicted the gods as winged creatures are the Sumerians, the Babylonians, certainly the Egyptians.

92
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,000
All of these civilizations had symbols where there may have been a winged disk,

93
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
or there may have been what we would call today, probably a UFO.

94
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
I believe they were just letting us know that these beings flew.

95
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:26,000
In the Middle East, in particular, there were depictions of supernatural beings with wings,

96
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:37,000
the demons of Mesopotamia, the Zuzu, which had the head of a lion and the body of a human, and the wings of a locust.

97
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,000
They were primarily soldiers of the higher gods, servants of the higher gods.

98
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
The higher gods depended on these messengers.

99
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
They would run back and forth and gather information.

100
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:08,000
The Bible may be the most thoroughly documented account of extraterrestrial contact ever in written history here on Earth.

101
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:16,000
We just simply have not learned how to interpret and how to identify the clear and obvious evidence

102
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:28,000
that the Seraphim, the Kerubim, the Archangels, the Angels, all of these different hierarchies of beings described in the Old and the New Testament

103
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
literally do refer to visitors who come here.

104
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Use a word extraterrestrials instead of the word of Angel.

105
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Use a word of a leader of extraterrestrials instead of Archangel.

106
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
If you change a few words in the Old Text, a few keywords, you change the sense of the Old Text.

107
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,000
It's all not coincidence. It was on purpose. It's time to wake up to see these things with modern eyes.

108
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
But if, as ancient astronaut theorists maintain, Angels are not ethereal winged beings,

109
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
but actually flesh and blood creatures visiting us from other planets, why are they here?

110
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Mount Sodom, Israel

111
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:32,000
A pillar of rock salt known as Lot's wife overlooks the southwestern part of the Dead Sea

112
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
near the presumed location of the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

113
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:48,000
In both the Hebrew Book of Genesis and the Islamic Quran, Angels travel to this spot to warn Abraham's nephew Lot

114
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
that God was about to unleash terror upon the world.

115
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
And the Angel finally says to Lot, if you don't come now with your family, two girls and the wife,

116
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:10,000
I cannot help you anymore. It looks as if a countdown was working which could not be stopped anymore

117
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
if even the Angel cannot stop it.

118
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And sure enough, they walk away and there's this mayhem and destruction.

119
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
His wife turns around and she turns into a pillar of salt.

120
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Since the ancient astronaut theory proposes that Angels were nothing else but misinterpreted,

121
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:57,000
flesh and blood extraterrestrials, this means that extraterrestrials did side with certain people.

122
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Were Angels or extraterrestrials interfering with human development?

123
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:19,000
But if Angels save Lot and his family from the wrath of God, is this proof that Angels are more than just other worldly messengers?

124
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Might they be more actively engaged in helping their human counterparts?

125
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Even to the extent that they might still be affecting the outcome of human history?

126
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Once again, ancient astronaut theorists looked to the book of Enoch for their answer

127
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:51,000
and claimed to have found evidence in its references to a race of fallen Angels known as Watchers.

128
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000
There is much debate amongst religious scholars about the fallen Angels.

129
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000
But if they were to find evidence, they would have to find evidence.

130
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Some say they were deliberately sent here to watch over man.

131
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:32,000
And in the book of Enoch specifically, we have 20 Watchers which are sort of in charge of all the other Angels that are in Enoch's presence.

132
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
You have the commanders and the officers and the lieutenants.

133
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And those 20 deliberately teach Enoch in various disciplines such as meteorology, astronomy, how to make better swords.

134
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Now, would something like this really happen in the Kingdom of God? I think the answer is clear.

135
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Where did they come from? What do they want?

136
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000
And if we're dealing with one or more intelligences, that maybe they have different agendas.

137
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:17,000
But maybe there is something out there that has been an ally to evolving hominids. And we're the latest model.

138
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:33,000
In the Bible, Angels often appear to humans as physical entities that can be seen, heard and even touched.

139
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000
But today, many people believe Angels are present whether they can see them or not.

140
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000
According to a 2008 survey by Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion,

141
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
55% of all American adults believe a guardian angel protects them.

142
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:10,000
The popularity of guardian angels in modern culture, I think, has to do with the idea that we want some kind of supernatural protection in a world where we don't really feel very safe oftentimes.

143
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:21,000
The Islamic faith teaches that every human being has not one, but two guardian angels. One for each shoulder.

144
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:31,000
These celestial beings are called writing angels because they write down the good deeds and the bad deeds in each person's life.

145
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:48,000
The first so-called guardian angel to appear in Judeo-Christian texts is the Angel Raphael, who was featured in the book of Tobit, written sometime between the 8th and 2nd century BC.

146
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Tobit is off on a very difficult mission. He's going to go to Persia to find a wife, and he runs into all sorts of problems on the way.

147
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:06,000
So God sends the angel Raphael, and now he has the angel not just as a messenger from God, he becomes a guardian angel. He becomes a special protector.

148
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:17,000
The idea of guardian angel is it just because we wish it? We believe it that somebody is protecting it, or does it come from the past?

149
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Has it to do maybe something with extraterrestrial in the sense that some extraterrestrial said to some human, we protect you. Don't be afraid.

150
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:40,000
What is the guardian angel guarding us from? Why is that guardian angel protecting us, and is there more than one? Short answer to that is absolutely yes. He's guarding us from what? The fallen angels.

151
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Judeo-Christian and Islamic tradition, there's an idea that there will be some kind of final warfare when God defeats Satan once and for all.

152
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:02,000
That's been interpreted by some people to say that the aliens will come back, they'll fight it out again one final time.

153
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Both the book of Enoch and the New Testament book of Revelation refers to a final cosmic battle of good versus evil.

154
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Other biblical stories include accounts of angels wielding extraordinary powers. Angels who are not just guardians, but who intervene in the process of the destruction of the world.

155
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:36,000
But who are the celestial warriors? The New Testament's Acts of the Apostles tells the story of Saint Peter, who is imprisoned in Jerusalem.

156
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:46,000
The New Testament's Acts of the Apostles tells the story of Saint Peter, who is imprisoned in Jerusalem.

157
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Peter is asleep between two soldiers, so the angel walks through the wall. He's a physical being because he touches Peter, tells Peter to wake up, come with me.

158
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,000
He unshackles Peter, and he says, I'm going to kill you.

159
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Peter is asleep between two soldiers, so the angel walks through the wall. He's a physical being because he touches Peter, tells Peter to wake up, come with me.

160
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
He unshackles Peter, and he says to Peter, follow me.

161
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:30,000
The prison cell opens, Peter walks out, and the first thing he notices is all the gods are asleep.

162
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,000
They get out to the courtyard. This huge prison gate opens by itself, and Peter walks out, and he's free.

163
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
The angel walks a little bit longer. It's gone.

164
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Is the Freen of Saint Peter an alien encounter story? Or is it a true story of heavenly angels commanding other worldly powers?

165
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:03,000
A lot of the times, modern contactees say, well, these beings have come to me in my dreams.

166
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:12,000
They can come through my walls, all my doors are locked, my windows are shut, and all of a sudden I open my eyes and there is a being there.

167
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Some might say these accounts of visitations by angels are a result of imagination or projection, but I take them as actual historical accounts because they're presented that way.

168
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:49,000
We look at the case of religion. We can see clear evidence of extraterrestrial human visitors who have come here and have tried to help improve conditions in our civilization.

169
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:59,000
And they have been consistently trying to help the earth along, which may in fact be leading up to a galactic family reunion, where after a certain point when we're ready,

170
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,000
they no longer have to follow the prime directive, if you will, and can again show themselves to us.

171
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:23,000
But whether angels are, in fact, supernatural or extraterrestrial beings, artists have nearly always depicted them as having large, almost bird-like wings.

172
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:40,000
But where does this notion come from? From ancient texts or from a more mysterious source? A source, not from the heavens, but from places thousands of light years away.

173
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Rome, Italy

174
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Stored in the treasury of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus.

175
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Constructed in 359 A.D., the sarcophagus features what some believe to be the earliest known depiction of winged angels in all of Christianity.

176
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000
In the centuries that followed, angels were almost always depicted as having wings.

177
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:32,000
But why? Especially since the actual biblical texts rarely describe angels as having bird-like appendages.

178
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:42,000
The vast majority of the stories in the Old Testament, angels aren't described as having wings at all. Some of them, they look human.

179
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:53,000
When the angel comes to visit Abraham, this angel does not have wings. He looks like a man. Abraham bows to him, which is interesting. How did Abraham know?

180
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:03,000
If he looks like a human being, what was it that gave Abraham the clue to run over and bow down to him? And so there's a supernatural quality.

181
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,000
There's a superhuman quality that they acknowledge that this was a person who was a little more than human.

182
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:23,000
The concept of the angel as such comes directly out of the Greco-Roman tradition. Stories of Hermes and Iris kind of coming down and giving messages.

183
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Envisioning them as beings, like human beings, kind of looking like human beings, and being benevolent.

184
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:41,000
There are plenty of other beings which have these beautiful wings, these kind of forms and shapes, but all of these beings, however they're conceived, are not.

185
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:53,000
They are not what they were conceived of, are a way of telling us that we have a hard time understanding what it is that separates us from them, from the gods.

186
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000
They have to be these kind of weird beings who have wings.

187
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Angels show up in various cultures as probably misidentified technology. If they saw someone, a human being or a humanoid, flying in the skies, they could only give it a natural review, giving it wings.

188
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
I don't think they actually had wings. It was ancient man's way of saying they had the power of flight.

189
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:28,000
The angels that have wings that we're used to seeing depicted in pictures of the Bible and what have you, and basically the wings say these beings can fly.

190
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:34,000
So, we believe in angels and the Native Americans talk about the star people.

191
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
The Egyptians talk about the gods coming to and from the earth.

192
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:49,000
So, I believe this is the basis, this is the template for the civilizations of the earth's religious practices. I believe that.

193
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:02,000
For centuries, religious tradition has perpetuated the notion of bird-like wings to explain an angel's mode of travel.

194
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
But is such a concept even scientifically plausible?

195
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:19,000
In 2009, a study at University College London compared classic depictions of winged angels with actual bird physiology.

196
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000
You have to be able to both flap down and flap up, and you really need a separate muscle to do each of these.

197
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:35,000
On the way down, you're generating the lift, and you actually have to rotate the wing slightly and get a different angle as you come up.

198
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
And then they actually generate their thrust.

199
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Otherwise, if you just went up and down in the same straight pattern, you'd be making lift one way, but when you went back the other way, you just push yourself back down.

200
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:56,000
So, when you look at the classic pictures of angels, the wings are centered on their back, very close together.

201
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Whereas the birds with the wings on the side can have longer muscles with a great strength that go into moving them up and down.

202
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,000
With the wings on the back, they're going to look like they're going to flap more like this than up and down.

203
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Researchers also concluded that angels, given their humanoid interpretation, would be simply too heavy for flight.

204
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
We're not designed aerodynamically, and we're quite heavy.

205
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000
I mean, we're solid bones, solid muscle, so those two features you have to overcome.

206
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:39,000
But if angels could not have possessed actual wings, how would they have managed to travel to and from the heavens?

207
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Angels were never described to fly around like Superman, but they sort of had a vertical ascent into the sky, or when they descended, it was a vertical descent.

208
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
How was that possible?

209
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000
In 1953, Bell Aero Systems developed the Rocket Belt, the precursor to today's workable jetpack.

210
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Designed to lift individuals vertically into the air and glide them across the skies, today's jetpacks can reach altitudes of over 8,000 feet and travel at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.

211
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:33,000
If you look at a modern jetpack, humans are ascending and descending in a vertical position.

212
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Now imagine if that picture was shown to our ancestors, how would they react?

213
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Obviously, they will say, wow, this creature must be divine.

214
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:58,000
This creature must be some type of a god because they've got the capability of flight.

215
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,000
They're like birds. Not even the sky is the limit to them.

216
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:15,000
But could a device similar to modern day jetpacks really explain how biblical angels were capable of ascending bodily into the heavens?

217
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Could they have had other methods of flight unfamiliar to our ancient ancestors?

218
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Ezekiel talks about a flying chariot.

219
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Ancient Hebrews talk about the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.

220
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000
So clearly these are physical machines that the angels are using.

221
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:47,000
The story of Jacob and the angel in Genesis 28 is a classic UFO scenario.

222
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Jacob falls asleep and in this dream he dreams that there's angels going up and down a ladder and this ladder comes from heaven.

223
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
If you look at, let's say, a spaceship and it opens its door and there's a ramp coming out.

224
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
I mean, that almost looks like a ladder.

225
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:19,000
So it is possible that what is described there is nothing else but a technological event that was described as a ladder.

226
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Did our ancestors try to explain an ancient alien technology by suggesting that extraterrestrial visitors were heavenly visitors with bird-like wings?

227
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:44,000
If the answer is yes, the implications are both profound and potentially disturbing.

228
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000
For if angels are actual visitors from other worlds, then what is their mission?

229
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Are they simply watching us? Or is there, perhaps, a more sinister purpose?

230
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Temple Mount, Old City, Jerusalem

231
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:18,000
It was here that many biblical stories reportedly occurred, including the binding of Isaac from Genesis 22.

232
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,000
In this story, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah.

233
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Abraham sets out to obey God's command, but after binding his son and preparing for the sacrifice, he is stopped at the last minute by an angel.

234
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Conventional interpretations of the story usually conclude that God only wanted to test Abraham's faith.

235
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:55,000
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest the tale has another interpretation.

236
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
In my opinion, God, God would never ask such a question.

237
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:13,000
So is it possible that it was a fallen angel slash alien extraterrestrial who posed as God?

238
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:24,000
God never demands human sacrifice. Human sacrifice is totally anathema to Christianity and it's totally anathema to God as a creator.

239
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
The French philosopher Assart very famously wrote,

240
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
If an angel were to tell me I needed to sacrifice my son, I'd ask for some ID.

241
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Maybe somebody else impersonating a God and do we then have somebody stepping in to actually prevent this from happening?

242
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Are we in fact maybe confronted with two warring civilizations trying to control what is happening in the stories of the Bible?

243
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Just like there are good people and bad people here on earth, there is good and bad extraterrestrials out there.

244
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Good and evil permeates the entire universe.

245
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Yen and Yang, there is a balance.

246
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Deep inside the Middle Eastern country of Oman, a mysterious cavern lies hidden far beneath the surface,

247
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,000
called Modulus Algin, or meeting place of the Jin.

248
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:32,000
It stretches more than 14 acres underground and is one of the world's 10 largest caves.

249
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Many Omani still believe this cavern and others like it are actually inhabited by supernatural creatures of Islamic folklore called jinn or genies, mystical creatures that are usually invisible to man.

250
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
One interesting aspect of the jinn is an element of free will.

251
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:03,000
They're like angels, but we think of angels in the West as under the direct command of the divine powers.

252
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:11,000
But the jinn can make some decisions for themselves and some of them are a little contrary or curious in their way of being.

253
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,000
According to Islamic theology, genies often reveal themselves to humans with messages.

254
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Which can be either benevolent or deceptive.

255
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000
But is it possible that genies actually exist?

256
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
If so, where did they come from?

257
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:40,000
When we talk about genie, genie in a bottle, it's very interesting because you rub the bottle and then the genie comes out of it and it fulfills your wishes.

258
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Well, let's look at this from a modern day perspective.

259
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:52,000
If you have a little container and you push a button and a hologram comes out, then could that be a genie in a bottle?

260
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:07,000
And according to the ancient astronaut theory, that is exactly what happened where extraterrestrials used holograms in order to relay messages, that is essentially a genie in a bottle.

261
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Like angels, jinn are said to be able to appear and disappear at will and are sometimes only heard as disembodied voices.

262
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:36,000
But while some ancient astronaut theorists believe this behavior resembles that of extraterrestrials, others claim that angels, jinn and other supernatural creatures have origins right here on Earth.

263
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
They call these beings ultra-terrestrial.

264
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Ultra-terrestrials are possible beings that travel and visit us from other dimensions.

265
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
We know that we all vibrate in the three-dimensional space at a certain frequency.

266
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:59,000
It's very possible that other beings vibrate at a higher frequency and are able to pass more easily into other dimensions.

267
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:13,000
The ultra-terrestrial theory would also explain the folkloric creatures, the angelic creatures, any sort of experience of a strange supernatural or alien being that's occurred throughout history.

268
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:30,000
But could so-called fallen angels, jinn and other mysterious ultra-terrestrial creatures really help to explain more recent stories of people who claim they are directed toward violent ends by the Word of God?

269
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:42,000
David Berkowitz, better known as Son of Sam, claimed a demon who took possession of his neighbor's dog commanded him to kill.

270
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Herbert Mullen, who committed 13 murders in California in the early 1970s, claimed voices in his head told him he had to make human sacrifices to prevent a cataclysmic earthquake.

271
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Marshall Applewhite, the leader of the UFO cult known as Heaven's Gate, inspired a mass suicide based on a vision that led him to believe he was related to Jesus.

272
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Ancient literature is full of characters who are claiming that they have been influenced by God's angels, extraterrestrial beings, which is rather like when Charles Manson or the Son of Sam claims, say, metaphysical reasons or theological reasons for what they're doing now.

273
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:45,000
So it's not a matter of whether we believe them or not. They very much believe it, and that's what's important. What matters is that from the ancient world to the modern, there are mysterious forces.

274
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Whether they are fictions or not, we don't have the ultimate answers. What matters is the similarity, and those discourses are, to a certain extent, trans-historical.

275
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Angels and demons. Good versus evil. But if, as many ancient astronaut proponents maintain, extraterrestrials have been masquerading as angels, gin and otherworldly creatures for thousands of years. Where did they come from? Why are they here? And could they be all around us?

276
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
In plain sight.

277
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Mount Hermon. High above the Holy Land.

278
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:41,000
At 9,230 feet, this mysterious mountain straddles the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Israel.

279
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Sitting above the Golan Heights, Mount Hermon has been contested ground among Christian, Hebrew and Islamic faithful for thousands of years.

280
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,000
According to the synoptic gospels, Mount Hermon is the location of the Transfiguration of Jesus.

281
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:13,000
An event in which Jesus was transformed into a radiant altered state, and was seen to be conversing with Moses and the prophet Elijah.

282
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Mount Hermon is also the site where the 200 fallen angels descended to Earth in the Book of Enoch.

283
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,000
But why, Mount Hermon, is there a geological significance to that site?

284
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:40,000
All across the face of the Earth there are particular hotspots, and it could well be that the reason the Middle East is such a hotspot,

285
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:47,000
and the reason there are legends that the Middle East contains stargates, portals to other universes.

286
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:56,000
One theory says that we were populated from the stars in the Middle East at the beginning of what we call our own time.

287
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:07,000
In the occult science of numerology, the number 33 represents the ultimate attainment of consciousness.

288
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Mount Hermon is located at the 33rd parallel north, which is a latitude 33 degrees north of the Earth's equator.

289
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Tracing the 33rd parallel to the exact opposite side of the globe directly points to the site of the most famous alleged UFO encounter in modern history.

290
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
In Roswell, New Mexico.

291
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,000
If you take the geographic polar opposite from Mount Hermon, you wind up in Roswell, New Mexico.

292
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Now that's not an accident, folks. It's not an accident.

293
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Fallen angels are very big on where they show up, what they do, how they do it. That should send shivers up and down your spine.

294
00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:02,000
But could the global coordinates of the Roswell crash site and those of Mount Hermon have a special, perhaps, secret significance?

295
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:11,000
If aliens use the 33rd latitudinal line as a waypoint, as a landing point for planet Earth,

296
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:20,000
what Biblical people saw thousands and thousands of years ago on Mount Hermon were entities that came down from the sky.

297
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,000
They call them angels.

298
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
We call them extraterrestrials.

299
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,000
My idea is these extraterrestrials, they landed at different points. Why?

300
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:43,000
They knew that thousands of years in the far future the humans would know the geometry of their land.

301
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:52,000
And of a sudden they say, hey, what's that? These are places linked together. It's not coincidence. It was on purpose.

302
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Could the angels that descended on Mount Hermon thousands of years ago and the aliens who were reportedly seen over Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 belong to the same extraterrestrial race?

303
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:25,000
And if so, does this mean that angels or aliens have been among us all along? Were they left behind to monitor us? Or perhaps even guide us into the future?

304
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Probably the last time that we had any regular interaction with these ETs as a cultural level was during the time of the foundation of Islam.

305
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:48,000
For whatever reason, these guys seemed to have followed a mutual collective agreement that they'd withdraw from the earth after the time of Islam, the New Testament, the Bible, etc.

306
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Stay away, so that in the meantime we develop technology, we get all proud of ourselves and think, oh, we're the only game in town here.

307
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Wake up! They're all over the place. Look at the angels in the Bible.

308
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:14,000
These are documented records. The people that wrote these books didn't think they were myths. They didn't think they were fake. They were writing down history.

309
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:25,000
The extraterrestrials want that in the far future of mankind, we start to see these things. We start to translate these books.

310
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:35,000
We start to realize that something on earth in geometry is wrong. And now we start to ask questions. We start to ask, for example, how can we explain that?

311
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Have we maybe been visited by extraterrestrials? And I think it's important to think in this way, because these extraterrestrials have promised to return, and one day they will return.

312
00:42:49,000 --> 00:43:01,000
If we humans are now on, we'll say, the cusp of finally having some truth laid out to us about our relationship to other intelligences in the universe,

313
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:22,000
I just hope that we will be looking at aliens past, present, and future as not our killers and not our saviors, but as another intelligence that we will be able to shake hands with and learn something about the cosmos.

314
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:32,000
But if, and perhaps when, so-called angels reveal themselves to us in the form of extraterrestrials, would we accept them?

315
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Perhaps only when we are ready to know the truth about our own origins will that day come.
