1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
It will cover the sun for years.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Devastating earthquakes and tsunamis.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
It's possible the extraterrestrials themselves are influencing some of the isobats.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And asteroids smashing the Earth, causing massive extinctions.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
What you're seeing is that this is done on purpose.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Have the world's worst global disasters been the result of nature's fury?

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Or have they been triggered by more supernatural forces?

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I don't think we can rule out the idea that this is the work of highly advanced technological aliens

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
seeking to obliterate the human race.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Millions of people around the world are now in the hands of the world.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
What if it were true?

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And could there be an extraterrestrial connection to some of the world's mega disasters?

15
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Australia

16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,220
Yukis30's

17
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Japan on Friday.

18
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,660
And

19
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:14,040
the sea floor, 200 miles away, in Tokyo, building shake violently.

20
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Within half an hour of the earthquake, a powerful 30-foot tsunami strikes the northern coast

21
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:30,520
of Japan and sweeps across the landscape, reaching six miles inland, destroying everything

22
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:37,560
in its path.

23
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Local officials estimate that over 19,000 lives were lost in the rapidly rising tide.

24
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,200
Tsunamis are basically the name for a giant sea wave that's fairly coherent, has a lot

25
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,920
of energy and will travel over a large distance.

26
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,200
It's really a matter of scale more than anything else.

27
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,400
It's huge enough to cause huge amounts of damage when it hits the shore.

28
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,440
These have to be generated by a large pulse of energy being put into the ocean, and the

29
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,600
most common source of that is a massive earthquake under the ocean floor.

30
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,920
They're used to earthquakes in this part of the world, but the fact that they had such

31
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,160
little time, they just couldn't get away from it.

32
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,640
So you can be a very sophisticated, first world developed country.

33
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:40,200
You can be a superpower and still have these kind of mega disasters come your way.

34
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,920
According to Japan's Kyoto news agency, in the days following the devastation, thousands

35
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,080
of UFOs were sighted over Japan.

36
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,520
If true, what might this mean?

37
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:03,720
It's interesting to note that when the tsunami occurred, there was suddenly an increase of

38
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
UFO sightings in that area of Japan.

39
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:14,520
So you have to think, well, are the extraterrestrials particularly interested in what happens to

40
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:23,480
us in certain catastrophes and life-changing events that are occurring on this planet?

41
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:30,440
And it's possible the extraterrestrials themselves are influencing some of these events.

42
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,080
But is it really possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe, that otherworldly forces

43
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,520
could provoke such deadly disasters?

44
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Crete, located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, it is the largest of the Greek islands.

45
00:04:52,520 --> 00:05:01,360
Here, in 365 AD, this once quiet province of the Byzantine Empire was destroyed by a

46
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,520
devastating underwater earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

47
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,600
According to Roman historians, the tsunami also hit Alexandria, Egypt and other cities

48
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,520
along the Mediterranean coast, causing great destruction.

49
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,640
The Crete earthquake of 365 was one of the great natural disasters of the Mediterranean

50
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,640
world.

51
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,360
So this was an earthquake that was probably an hate on the Richter scale.

52
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520
So it was very large.

53
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:44,520
It produced a tsunami and it raised the isle of Crete by nine meters.

54
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:51,520
So it was an extraordinary event.

55
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:58,520
The ancient Greeks attributed earthquakes to the god of the sea, Poseidon.

56
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,520
According to Greek myths, Poseidon was known as the earth shaker because of his power to

57
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:12,520
block earthquakes, sea storms and tidal waves.

58
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Ancient peoples would have ascribed natural disasters to the gods as a really logical

59
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,520
answer, because first these events are deadly.

60
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:33,520
So their lives depend upon trying to appease or please gods who control those things.

61
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Crete was said to be the home of the gods.

62
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,520
There are caves today in Crete which we can visit, which are identified as being the place

63
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,520
where Zeus was raised from a baby to an infant.

64
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,520
So when you find that something is happening in Crete in early Christian times, you really

65
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:59,520
have to ask whether this is somehow going to change the future of mankind.

66
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:06,520
It may be the wrath of Poseidon because what was happening at that time was the early Christians

67
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:14,520
were struggling against a resurgence of paganism.

68
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:25,520
And that tsunami came to destroy finally all the pagan religion in the area.

69
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Modern Christianity became dominant.

70
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,520
But was the god Poseidon merely a figure of myth and legend?

71
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Or might this supernatural being have had a more otherworldly origin as ancient

72
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,520
astronaut theorists believe?

73
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:57,520
Poseidon was always depicted as holding this weapon or instrument, his trident.

74
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,520
And this trident could cause earthquakes and tsunamis.

75
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,520
He could control the oceans with his trident.

76
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:17,520
You have to wonder if this trident wasn't some high tech extraterrestrial device.

77
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:27,520
The weapons used by these Greek gods can be compared in some ways to modern weaponry.

78
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:33,520
It's interesting that the United States Navy developed nuclear missiles for its submarines

79
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,520
with the names Poseidon and Trident.

80
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:44,520
Perhaps this was Poseidon carrying out some sort of wrath on ancient Crete

81
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,520
or finally rejecting him as a god.

82
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Is it really possible that mega disasters caused by earthquakes and tsunamis

83
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:04,520
could be triggered by alien technology as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

84
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:13,520
And if so, might such catastrophic events have been provoked to change the course of human history?

85
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Perhaps further evidence can be found in modern military technology

86
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:26,520
designed to use the weather as a weapon of mass destruction.

87
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,520
Haiti, January 12, 2010.

88
00:09:43,520 --> 00:10:01,520
At 4.53 p.m., a fierce 7.0 magnitude earthquake slams into the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, causing massive destruction.

89
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:07,520
It is the country's most severe earthquake in over 200 years.

90
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,520
An earthquake that doesn't affect anyone is a natural hazard.

91
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:20,520
When that natural hazard makes landfall and affects a population, that is when it becomes a natural disaster.

92
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:30,520
When it's a huge system that affects a lot of people with death and destruction, then we term it a mega disaster.

93
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,520
According to local news reports, missionaries in Haiti

94
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:48,520
videotaped a strange ball of light floating in the sky less than 24 hours before the earthquake.

95
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,520
UFOs have been reported throughout history connected to earthquakes.

96
00:10:53,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Scientists used to disregard the idea of earthquake lights up until the 1960s when they were actually photographed in Japan.

97
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Finally, they had to take notice that there are strange aerial phenomena that go along with earthquakes.

98
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Often referred to as earthquake weather, scientists have linked the strange phenomena to the geophysical activity that precedes an earthquake.

99
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:25,520
Earthquakes are basically when the plates on the surface of the earth move relative to each other in a sudden fashion.

100
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,520
This sudden motion releases a lot of energy.

101
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:38,520
If they were simply tectonic plates that gave off, like for example, a discharge into the air, they would burn out pretty quickly.

102
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,520
But we are talking about bright lights that hover and linger.

103
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Could the sudden discharge of immense energy really have produced strange lights in the skies above earthquake zones?

104
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:01,520
Or might the lights and the apparent natural disasters have had a more technological origin?

105
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:14,520
In 1996, the United States Air Force commissioned a secret study called the 2025 Report.

106
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:23,520
In it, the military examined the feasibility of combat capabilities and tactics in the year 2025.

107
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:33,520
One of the areas that was seen as ripe for research, exploitation and development was the modification of the weather as a tool of warfare.

108
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,520
People might think the idea that we could weaponize the weather is something just straight out of science fiction.

109
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:44,520
The idea that we could pulverize whole nations just by modifying and exploiting the weather.

110
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,520
And that this is a verifiable report that is now in the public domain.

111
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:55,520
So we do know that governments and military bodies are significantly researching weaponizing the weather.

112
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:04,520
One of the big advantages of using weather as a weapon is that it's really difficult to prove who attacked you.

113
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,520
The other thing is that weather itself can cause a heck of a lot more damage than weapons can.

114
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,520
You could have, for instance, a powerful thunderstorm that could go all the way across the U.S.

115
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,520
It could cause basically nuclear level destruction all the way across a huge swath.

116
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,520
There have been many attempts to control the weather during warfare.

117
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520
And one of the most famous attempts was in Vietnam.

118
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:42,520
In which there's a real effort to seed the clouds over the Ho Chi Minh Trail and create torrential rains.

119
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:52,520
By flooding the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong supply lines, it would reduce their utility and choke off supplies to gorillas in the south.

120
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,520
So certainly we've had success in seeding clouds.

121
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:05,520
If the weather can be manipulated by the military to produce powerful storms and even catastrophes,

122
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,520
is this only a recent innovation?

123
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Or is there evidence of the weaponized use of weather in the ancient past?

124
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Tales of a great flood destroying the world can be found in the earliest myths of many ancient cultures across the globe.

125
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Both the Hebrew Bible and the Islamic Quran describe an epic flood in the tale of Noah's Ark.

126
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:48,520
God was unhappy with the people for their sinful ways and as a kind of punishment and also an act of purification sent the Great Deleuge.

127
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Most living things would die in this except for a few birds and fish.

128
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,520
But he told Noah very specifically how to build a craft that could survive the storm.

129
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,520
Noah is to collect pairs of the air-breathing animals on earth.

130
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,520
And he packs these animals and his family into the ark.

131
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,520
And then it rains for 40 days and 40 nights and floods the entire earth.

132
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,520
And all air-breathing animals and people are killed.

133
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:33,520
In ancient Mesopotamia, a similar story of a catastrophic flood was chiseled into clay tablets dating to 2000 BC.

134
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:47,520
Known as the Epic of Gilgamesh, this early Sumerian poem describes angry gods that send a great flood to destroy mankind while allowing only a chosen few to survive.

135
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,520
The gods had created humanity to perform whatever labor they were supposed to do.

136
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,520
But what happened was that according to the old Mesopotamian stories, human beings just started causing too much trouble.

137
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:06,520
They became noisy, they became rebellious, and it was just time to wipe them out.

138
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,520
And that's actually what's reported in those old creation stories.

139
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:24,520
But did such stories of great floods engulfing the world merely spring from man's imagination?

140
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Or were they real?

141
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:36,520
If so, might such devastation have had an otherworldly origin as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

142
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,520
If the human race in the early 21st century is now weaponized in the weather,

143
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,520
why shouldn't aliens from some far away world have already developed it?

144
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:56,520
If ancient aliens were able to weaponize the weather, then I don't think we can rule out the idea that possibly some of these great ancient floods

145
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:06,520
may not have been the work of gods, but could have been the work of highly advanced technological aliens actually seeking to potentially obliterate the human race.

146
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:15,520
There are more than a thousand different flood myths from cultures all around the world.

147
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:25,520
And the tendency has been for archaeologists to say that that's simply because people's fantasies work in the same way.

148
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:33,520
But I also think there's a much simpler explanation for why the flood myth is so universal.

149
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,520
I think it's a memory of what happened at the end of the Ice Age.

150
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:44,520
What's much more mysterious is that coupled with these memories of global devastation,

151
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:53,520
there are also memories of almost godlike beings with incredible powers and abilities who were caught up in that cataclysm.

152
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,520
The deluge stories are really very interesting.

153
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,520
What they all say is that the angels, the gods, whatever we want to call them today,

154
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:12,520
they basically just got tired of humanity where there's a wanton intention to wipe out or thin out the human race.

155
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:23,520
Right there we have a perfect example that maybe the extraterrestrials were unhappy with Homo sapiens

156
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:32,520
and it is possible that they then created some type of a catastrophe, some flood to eliminate mankind.

157
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:42,520
But it's also possible that benevolent extraterrestrials warned us about an impending catastrophe

158
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,520
so that not everyone would be destroyed.

159
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:55,520
Could the mythic floods of the ancient past really have been the result of extraterrestrial influence?

160
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,520
Or is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists contend,

161
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,520
that aliens may have actually helped mankind survive nature's fury?

162
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Perhaps further evidence can be found near one of Earth's most dangerous places,

163
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,520
active volcanoes.

164
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,520
The Republic of Indonesia, Southeast Asia.

165
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:36,520
This archipelago, encompassing over 17,000 islands, is home to 129 active volcanoes.

166
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Here, in April 1815,

167
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:48,520
the Mount Tambora volcano exploded in a cataclysm of fire, smoke and ash.

168
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:57,520
The amount of material discharged into the atmosphere, estimated to have been 120 cubic tons,

169
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,520
makes the event the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history.

170
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:11,520
With a death toll of nearly 71,000 people, it was the world's deadliest eruption.

171
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,520
They had quite an effect worldwide.

172
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,520
The year of 1816 was known as the year without the summer.

173
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:30,520
And the reason is because very large volcanic eruptions inject a lot of ash and aerosols in the atmosphere,

174
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,520
and they can actually lower the global average temperature.

175
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:45,520
The volcano on its own is not the disaster, but when it erupts and affects large groups of people, it certainly is.

176
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,520
And volcanic eruptions have killed millions of people over time.

177
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:01,520
According to local religious traditions, volcanoes are considered sacred,

178
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,520
and the Mount Tambora eruption is thought to have been the work of the gods.

179
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520
But why?

180
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:16,520
Researchers claim answers can be found near the most volatile volcano in Indonesia today,

181
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Mount Marapi, a site that in Javanese mysticism is believed to be the most important volcano in Indonesia.

182
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,520
It is also believed to be the center of the world.

183
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:40,520
Strangely, this revered volcano is located just 29 miles from a mysterious ancient Buddhist temple called Borobudur.

184
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Whenever we are confronted with certain temple sites, some of them are obviously more interesting than others,

185
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,520
but in this case we have a very interesting location.

186
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,520
Because it is said that this mountain is the center of the universe.

187
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:02,520
And you will always find that this is linked somehow in mythology with the ascent or the descent of a very important god.

188
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,520
Sometimes it creates a deity or somebody else.

189
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Built during the 8th and 9th centuries, the Borobudur temple was designed in the form of a stepped pyramid,

190
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,520
and features a large round dome on top encircled by 72 statues of Buddha,

191
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,520
each seated in a bell-shaped enclosure called a stupa.

192
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe,

193
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:41,520
that the temple and stupas were built to honor other worldly beings and their spacecraft that arrived at Mount Marapi in the ancient past?

194
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:59,520
There is no question that Borobudur was a place of pilgrimage that was built only because something significant happened in the remote past in that specific area.

195
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:11,520
The volcano was so huge for them, so incomprehensible that they over time built stupas all directed to the sky,

196
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:24,520
because each stupa on that complex represents a chariot of the gods with which to actually reach outer space.

197
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,520
This is a very specific shape for a temple.

198
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:34,520
It's almost as if it is a flat-topped pyramid with something sticking on top there as if something has landed.

199
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,520
And then the question is, why did they construct it so specifically?

200
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:49,520
Was it something which was visually remembering as to what had happened there, or what was still happening on a regular interval?

201
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:59,520
All over the world, volcanoes often have some god associated with them,

202
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:05,520
who's controlling the volcano, causing earthquakes, causing devastating eruptions.

203
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:15,520
And in fact, in Indonesia, the people there believe that there's an entire city of gods inside Mount Marapi.

204
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:28,520
When I read stories about ancient volcano gods descending or ascending from and into volcanoes,

205
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:36,520
then I think to myself, are we really talking about something here that's a figment of our ancestors' imagination,

206
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,520
or is there some truth behind these stories?

207
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,520
And the answer is yes.

208
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,520
It was not some type of spiritual event,

209
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:55,520
but it was where extraterrestrials descended from the sky in nuts and bolts spaceships.

210
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,520
But what is it about volcanoes that seem to attract celestial visitors,

211
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,520
and might they have had the power to trigger volcanic eruptions?

212
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,520
Hawaii

213
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,520
Here, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, lies Mount Kilauea.

214
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:33,520
Spewing lava almost continuously since 1983, it is the most active volcano in the world.

215
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:49,520
According to ancient Hawaiian legends, the volcano is home to Pele, the goddess of lightning, and fire.

216
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:57,520
She lives in the enormous volcano on the big island in her crater, and I've been up there as a big crater,

217
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,520
and you can imagine the powerful goddess could live there.

218
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:07,520
She has come from a place of the clouds, a place in the sky, and that's mysterious. We don't know where that is.

219
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe,

220
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:20,520
that the origin of the Pele legend can be traced to contact with extraterrestrial beings?

221
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:31,520
Just like the American military has hollowed out Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs

222
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:38,520
to create a secret and virtually impenetrable military base inside of a mountain.

223
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:49,520
We have, in a sense, similar stories of ancient gods or extraterrestrials doing this to volcanoes, using them as bases.

224
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:59,520
And if there was some danger of people discovering it, or people were building their homes or cities too close,

225
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,520
these aliens could have their volcano erupt.

226
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:13,520
Is there something extraterrestrial behind those stories of volcano gods?

227
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Absolutely yes, because all around the world our ancestors worshiped nature.

228
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:29,520
There was a god of thunder, there was a god of rain, and even a god of a volcano.

229
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:39,520
However, there was a fine line between worshiping nature and worshiping something else,

230
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,520
and that something else was extraterrestrials.

231
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,520
They were space travelers that came here from another planetary system.

232
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:57,520
Might some of the planet's most active volcanoes really have been home to extraterrestrial forces,

233
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,520
as some ancient astronaut theorists contend?

234
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:11,520
Researchers believe further clues can be found in one of the driest and deadliest places on Earth.

235
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:18,520
The Sahara Desert

236
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:29,520
Stretching across northern Africa and covering nearly three and a half million square miles,

237
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,520
it is one of the hottest and most formidable places on Earth.

238
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:47,520
With an average rainfall of only half an inch per year, humans have fought a relentless battle to adapt to the harsh environment, or die.

239
00:28:50,520 --> 00:29:02,520
Historians have often looked at the Sahara Desert and wondered what it is that created this particularly inhospitable, desolate area of the planet.

240
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:15,520
But in the Algerian Sahara, in the region of Tessili-Nagir, numerous cave paintings, some estimated to date back as far as 8,000 BC,

241
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,520
depict a time when the land was lush and teeming with life.

242
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,520
But if so, what happened?

243
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,520
The scenes that you see at Tessili-Nagir are totally bizarre.

244
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:39,520
They're showing a Sahara that was once fertile with giraffes and antelope and other animals we find only in Central Africa, really.

245
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:50,520
And combined with them are these bizarre pictures of what even the archaeologists have called the Martians and the Spacemen.

246
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:55,520
They have strange helmets on and suits.

247
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,520
They look exactly like extraterrestrials.

248
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:09,520
The petroglyphs that we find there are incredible. They look like modern-day astronauts.

249
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:24,520
With suits, with helmets, with visors, and according to the legends of the Tessili region, the natives were visited at a time when a climate change was happening.

250
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:46,520
So is it possible that the reason why we have these depictions of these ancient aliens is because they assisted the native population at the time of climate change to move into a new area of habitation?

251
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:55,520
Did alien beings visit this region thousands of years ago?

252
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:06,520
And if so, might they have warned the local population of an enormous climate change, one that would trigger a vast migration?

253
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,520
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer is yes.

254
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:24,520
And for evidence, they point to the ancient legends of a West African tribal people known as the Dogon.

255
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:39,520
According to the Dogon themselves, they were guided by their alien fish gods, the Nomo, to this area near the Niger River where there's a lot more water.

256
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:47,520
So they had to transit across the inhospitable Sahara to find their homeland.

257
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:59,520
And their own explanation is that alien gods led them to this fertile area where they could establish their civilization.

258
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,520
The Nomos describe coming down in some type of flying craft.

259
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,520
The Dogon tribe gave some very interesting details which sound like a UFO.

260
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:17,520
A large spinning disk that made a lot of sound and wind as it descended to Earth and the Nomos appear.

261
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:25,520
So this is a very interesting story which was replicated by many different cultures of seeing beings descending from the heavens to Earth.

262
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Were they gods or were they extraterrestrials?

263
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Even today, the Dogon believe they are the children of the Nomo.

264
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,520
Strange gods who came here from the Sirius star system.

265
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:53,520
The Dogon tribe look up at the star system of Sirius and they are convinced that they were visited here and they were told about a star system.

266
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,520
But a binary system that we didn't know about for years later.

267
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,520
How did these people know this?

268
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:16,520
The Dogon have always been focused upon in the sense that they have this story, this information about their ancestors who somehow had this contact with this non-human intelligence.

269
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Now the question is how did they attain this?

270
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:29,520
It really might come from the Sahara desert, from specifically culture pockets like the Sili and the Jhar and that the Dogon are descendants from these people.

271
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:44,520
Could the de Sili Niger cave paintings and the legends of the Dogon tribe really be proof of alien contact in the distant past as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

272
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:58,520
Perhaps additional evidence can be found, half a hemisphere away at an archaeological site near the city of Chefeng in China.

273
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:10,520
Here, scholars have found 5,000 year old stone carvings and other artifacts, believed to have been engraved by a neolithic people known as the Hongshan.

274
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:27,520
The Hongshan people in China are known to have strange carvings, jade statuettes showing long-headed people looking very much like extraterrestrials.

275
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:46,520
But most curious among the Hongshan's ancient carvings is this one, an image of what many scholars and archaeologists consider to be the depiction of a massive comet or meteor.

276
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:54,520
Similar to one that researchers believe struck the region around 3000 BC.

277
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:09,520
The evidence that we have that there was a massive catastrophe at that time and approximately between 3113 and about 3116 BC is so fascinating.

278
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:17,520
A whole team at Harvard and Princeton took a look scientifically at the Peruvian ice shelves there in the Andes Mountains.

279
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:32,520
And they dug down and they said there was a massive planet-wide glaciation of the earth, a gigantic catastrophe that froze woolly mammoths with tropical vegetation in their mouths, froze the entire planet at that time.

280
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:44,520
But how is it possible that these ancient people could have known of a catastrophic meteor strike that wouldn't occur for another 116 years?

281
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:55,520
It seems like they were possibly warned by their extraterrestrial gods of this coming catastrophe and were able to leave and relocate somewhere else.

282
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:08,520
If we argue that this carving was done before the event took place, then somebody must have given them this knowledge.

283
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:16,520
And in the ancient Astron opinion, that knowledge was given to the Hongshan culture by extraterrestrials.

284
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:32,520
The question whether this is by coincidence or somehow by some intelligence who is pulling the string of these meteorites and comets, our ancestors were absolutely convinced that there was an intelligence behind it.

285
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:39,520
You might have certain comets which are programmed to bring life, you might also have certain comets which are programmed to bring destruction.

286
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Like the Hongshan people, like the ancient ancestors of the Dogen tribe, really have received warnings of impending catastrophes from extraterrestrial beings, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe.

287
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:14,520
If so, why? Did alien visitors really want to save the lives of Earth's human inhabitants? Or were they trying to achieve something more, something that might forever change the course of human history?

288
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,520
November 8th, 2011

289
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:39,520
A massive asteroid a quarter mile in diameter narrowly misses the Earth while passing by inside the orbit of the moon. It is known as a near-Earth object.

290
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:52,520
It's a kind of wake-up call. It tells us that indeed these objects are real, they come very close, and someday they may come so close that they would hit.

291
00:37:52,520 --> 00:38:06,520
There are probably a million near-Earth asteroids that are large enough that they could do significant destruction, by which I mean if they hit a city they would destroy. They could kill millions of people.

292
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:17,520
An asteroid strike of significance, something big, could be devastating for the planet.

293
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:24,520
It will cover the sun for years, and will go into an ice age and will all starve to death.

294
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:45,520
According to mainstream science, one such object, an asteroid six miles in diameter, smashed into the Earth 65 million years ago, triggering a global catastrophe that forever changed the history of our planet.

295
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:54,520
The Chik Shaloo crater is in Yucatan, Mexico, and it's the largest impact crater on Earth.

296
00:38:54,520 --> 00:39:11,520
And this crater is 180 kilometers in diameter, it's absolutely ginormous, and it represents an event that occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, and that's coincident with a mass extinction.

297
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:22,520
And that's the mass extinction that took out many animals and plants, the most particularly the dinosaurs.

298
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:32,520
Many scientists are still studying the details of the impact that produced the dinosaur extinction.

299
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:40,520
They discovered the actual crater, the smoking gun, the remnant of that impact.

300
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:46,520
From the size of the crater we can infer how much energy.

301
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:52,520
It was 100 million megatons of TNT equivalent.

302
00:39:53,520 --> 00:40:02,520
We don't have any other example that's that clean, but there must have been impacts like that throughout the history of the Earth.

303
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Was such a devastating collision the result of chance, an intergalactic accident, or might it have been a planned event, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

304
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,520
And if so, why?

305
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:34,520
The reason that some kind of alien force would want to create the extinction of dinosaurs and other large animals would be to make the Earth safer for people.

306
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:44,520
The idea of tidal waves and Earthquakes and catastrophes causing mass extinctions, the Earth becomes a better place to live.

307
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:55,520
We're able to have our civilization in a much more protected manner without having to worry about giant animals crashing into our house all the time.

308
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,520
One can ask the question, why would extraterrestrials do this?

309
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,520
Well, the answer is very simple. We are their product, we are their offspring.

310
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:20,520
They treat us as creator beings and we are their offspring and they're able to make decisions about humanity based on their needs.

311
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:32,520
So perhaps their needs were satisfied and they decided they didn't want humankind around anymore, so it's just as easy to wipe them out as it is to continue to perpetuate their existence.

312
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:48,520
If aliens are visiting us, you know, and they're not necessarily hostile, but the very fact that there have been UFO sightings during earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, tornadoes, is this a concern?

313
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:57,520
We look at us humans from the religious side, or if we look at the humans from the scientific side, we look at us as the greatest.

314
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:04,520
Something so gigantic and wonderful like humans does not exist somewhere in the universe out there.

315
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:16,520
I could imagine that the extraterrestrials, one day they have enough of our arrogance and ignorance and they say we try to teach you now since centuries.

316
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:23,520
But you still believe you are the greatest thing out there in the universe, so we have enough and we punish you again.

317
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:37,520
You have to wonder if extraterrestrials with their super technology haven't been involved in some of these catastrophes, actually creating them to change history.

318
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:52,520
We know that our ancestors survived some of the greatest disasters and on each occasion there is always an intelligence out there who's willing to tell us and help us in making sure that we survive.

319
00:42:53,520 --> 00:43:02,520
And the question is, if something is going to happen in the future, are we going to be relying once again on the non-human intelligence to help us?

320
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:18,520
Devastating earthquakes and deadly floods, catastrophic eruptions and planet-crushing collisions.

321
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:26,520
Are Earth's mega disasters simply the consequence of natural events?

322
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Or is mankind simply a pawn in the great cosmic experiment, one engineered by other worldly forces?

323
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:49,520
Might alien beings be manipulating human history in an effort to test us, to make us stronger? Or are they paving the way for Earth's future?

324
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:55,520
A future where humans would no longer exist.
