1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Unexplained sightings in space.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Shuttle astronauts will report that they've seen things that might be due to an alien presence.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Strange formations on the surface of Mars.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Now some NASA scientists say this is all just a light and shadow game.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
And lunar missions, rumored to have secret agendas.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000
The race for the moon. Was it a race to reach technology that was left behind by an extraterrestrial race?

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Is NASA sharing all that it knows about the universe? Or are they protecting us from the truth?

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The Brookings Report says very specifically, number one, don't tell anybody.

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
If you tell anybody, it will shatter the fabric of our civilization.

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

12
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And if so, might our extraterrestrial origins be revealed through the NASA connection?

13
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
North, 1969.

14
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Buzz Aldrin become the first humans to land on the moon.

15
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

16
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:35,000
We aliens, who happened to go down the ladder on July 20, 1969, were certainly part of a magnificent race that was able to.

17
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
All of a sudden appear in the Garden of Eden.

18
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
A land on the moon happened because of courage. We had the courage, we're willing to take the risk.

19
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
We had a president who was behind us and said, you're going to do it.

20
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:04,000
I look at those people from the Apollo era as heroes, not just the astronauts that went, but the 100,000 people on the ground that made it possible.

21
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:15,000
They worked on an exact plan. They knew where they wanted to go. They developed the technology and by golly they pulled it off.

22
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000
It was a tremendous accomplishment, perhaps the greatest scientific technical accomplishment in human history.

23
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000
It's an extreme quality, how do you read? Tranquility basis is used in loud and clear howards.

24
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000
For more than two and a half hours, Armstrong and Aldrin stood on the surface of the moon.

25
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Video transmissions showed the two astronauts collecting rock samples, taking photographs and planting an American flag in the lunar soil.

26
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:03,000
But what might these men have done away from the camera? Could there have been another, perhaps top secret mission, as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

27
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:14,000
When Apollo 11 first landed on the moon, there were certain sites that they were to look at.

28
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
And even as they orbited the moon, there were certain areas of the moon that they were to examine carefully and photograph.

29
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000
You have to ask yourself if NASA already had certain parts of the moon picked out.

30
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And the reason they had picked out these areas was because there was artificial structures on the moon and they knew it.

31
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:55,000
According to NASA records, the area of the moon called the Sea of Tranquility was chosen for the first lunar landing based on its flat surface.

32
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:05,000
But some researchers suggest this site was chosen because on that date, its coordinates lined up directly under Orion's belt.

33
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:16,000
The way they picked the landing sites was that they first chose the specific date, the specific latitude and longitude, the specific time that they would land.

34
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And then you have to work your way back from that to create what's called the launch window.

35
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:32,000
The person who picked all of the Apollo landing dates and landing times, including the mission for Apollo 11, was a man named Farouk El-Baz.

36
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,000
His father just happened to be an expert on the ancient Egyptian stellar religion.

37
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:50,000
According to ancient Egyptian beliefs, ceremonies performed directly under Orion's belt produce a sacred alignment.

38
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
One through which humans could communicate with Osiris.

39
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
To the ancient Egyptians, that constellation actually was the literal living embodiment of the great God Osiris.

40
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Sirius was the same representation of his wife, sister and consort Isis.

41
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Together, those two essentially ruled the skies and the life of the Egyptian people themselves was dictated by the rotation, the movement and the placement of those two celestial objects in the heavens.

42
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Apollo 11 had landed at a specific date and a specific time where the three belt stars of Orion were on the horizon at that time, 33 minutes after landing.

43
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, a 33 degree Scottish-right Freemason was in fact performing a ceremony onboard the lunar module with Neil Armstrong.

44
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
What they were doing was pouring wine into chalices, breaking bread and doing what essentially is called a communion ceremony.

45
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Now the interesting thing about the communion ceremony is that although it's Catholic, it actually has its origins in a much deeper, farther back ritual, which was an offering to the God Osiris himself.

46
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:17,000
So they are performing essentially an offering to Osiris himself. So I think that's why they landed on the moon at that date and time.

47
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Certain rituals have to be performed at certain moments in time whereby this link with this non-human intelligence will happen.

48
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:38,000
The priestly class of our ancestors, either through technology or through certain means, really were very much the class which sought out contact with this non-human intelligence.

49
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:48,000
And they were the ones who were trained to do this very much like the scientists of today, which we have trained to be the people who are going to go into outer space.

50
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Left behind on the moon were scientific instruments, an American flag, and a small plaque commemorating the Apollo 11 mission.

51
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:22,000
But there were other items left as well, a bag containing a gold replica of an olive branch, and a silicon disk with recorded messages of peace and goodwill from 73 world leaders.

52
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Why were these symbolic messages sent up into space? Who was NASA expecting to meet on the moon?

53
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,000
When we talk about the Apollo moon missions, there's some theory that suggests that massive cities may exist on the dark side of the moon.

54
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Cities that NASA was aware of, that the moon missions were all about, and that artifacts from these ancient ruin sites had been brought back to Earth.

55
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Is it possible that it wasn't moon rocks we were picking up and bringing back as specimens, but perhaps alien technology?

56
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
If extraterrestrials were here on planet, I'm sure they were here. We should also find evidence on the moon.

57
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Because the moon is the place for a stopover.

58
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:23,000
You have a mother spaceship, you need some sort of refuel, whatever this refuel is could be raw material, could be stone, could be uranium, could be whatever it is in the surface of the moon.

59
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
So it would make sense that we find some indications on the moon, technological indications, that somebody was here.

60
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Over the past several years, officials with NASA's space program have admitted to misplacing original recordings of some moon landings, and losing rocks collected from the lunar surface.

61
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Could this be, as ancient astronaut theorists believe, lost evidence of possible alien contact?

62
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Some claim that photos NASA has taken of both the moon and Mars indicate they know more than they are telling us.

63
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:26,000
We're going to have to come to terms with the fact that we have been told the most monumental collective lie, all our lives, about technologically advanced non-human groups that are fundamentally impacting upon life on Earth.

64
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:34,000
And you will find the evidence for that on the far side of the moon, and no doubt in Mars too.

65
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Every time you look at a photograph from an unmanned probe of the planet Mars, there's almost always something truly weird that doesn't belong there, that looks structural.

66
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Carl Sagan himself used to talk about the pyramids of Elysium, which were these very large, tetrahedral pyramids on Mars.

67
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,000
We have some strange pictures from the surface of the back of the moon and from the surface of Mars.

68
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Some strange pictures which seems to show artificial stuff, some ancient buildings.

69
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
On Mars, we had one day photographed by Marina, we had a face on Mars.

70
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,000
And in later picture, the face did not exist anymore, but around the face there was still something like a gate.

71
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Now some NASA scientists say this is all just a light and shadow game.

72
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Others also from NASA say the pyramids are real on Mars.

73
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
So at this moment, I don't know what is true.

74
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
There are some people that think that with the Roswell crash that the US government established communications with extraterrestrial beings.

75
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:07,000
There are some who think that we did not establish such contact until the Apollo missions themselves, and there are other people who think that we really don't have any direct contact with extraterrestrial species.

76
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,000
My personal belief is that at some point along the way NASA did have a direct pipeline to the ETs.

77
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:27,000
But if NASA has possessed evidence of extraterrestrial life as ancient astronaut theorists believe, what are they hiding?

78
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Looks like you got an object right in front of you, Mark.

79
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Can you look out there? It's about your 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock going away.

80
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Might NASA really have found evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life on the moon?

81
00:12:50,000 --> 00:13:00,000
And could there be further proof of an alien presence as witnessed by astronauts on the space shuttle and the International Space Station?

82
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,000
NASA Ames Research Center, Moffitt Field, California.

83
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:26,000
On December 5th, 2011, astronomers working with the Kepler Space Telescope announced the discovery of a planet they called Kepler-22B, orbiting within what's known as the habitable zone of a distant star.

84
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Today's discovery is a tantalizing indication that with time Kepler may find true Earth analogs.

85
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Kepler-22B is about 600 light-years away from Earth, so that's a long way.

86
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:48,000
But it is in fact in an orbit that means that the daytime temperatures on that planet might be comparable to a summer in San Francisco.

87
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000
So that's the first time we found a planet that might have liquid oceans, maybe a thick atmosphere, maybe even life.

88
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:07,000
What we'd ultimately like to do first is just understand how other planetary systems are made up, but then we really would like to find Earth-like planets.

89
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Planets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars.

90
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:21,000
But is it possible that NASA scientists have been searching for life they already know exists?

91
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Some believe previous voyages into space have uncovered evidence of an extraterrestrial presence.

92
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Here's the discovery. I'll be right over.

93
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Discovery Houston, read you log and clear.

94
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Go for main engine start.

95
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000
I'm going to do this up and running. Three, two, one, zero and flip it off.

96
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Ride your roll, Discovery.

97
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:03,000
On September 12, 1991, the space shuttle Discovery STS-48 flew nearly 350 miles above the surface of the Earth.

98
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Its crew, led by Captain John Creighton, performed several missions including the deployment of an upper atmosphere research satellite.

99
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Use goal for free drift.

100
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
All right, free drift.

101
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:33,000
But while the astronauts occupied themselves with various tasks, a video camera at the rear cargo bay door captured footage that NASA claims no longer exists.

102
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:44,000
But a number of amateurs that were monitoring the transmission produced what they allege is genuine footage from STS-48.

103
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:59,000
The video shows what appears to be a series of unidentified glowing objects and flashing lights that change direction and accelerate rapidly.

104
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Apparently, the space shuttle was surrounded by some kind of UFO, a flying saucer type of craft, some kind of a shield.

105
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,000
At one point was supposedly put around the shuttle briefly.

106
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
And then the UFO and everything disappeared.

107
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000
When the astronauts openly states over an open channel, hey, we're being tracked by an alien spacecraft.

108
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And then all of a sudden, all the transmission just ceases.

109
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
And I think what happened was is that he must have realized he was on the public channel, not the private channel,

110
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
that he probably very, very quickly switched over to the private channel to describe what it was he was seeing.

111
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
I knew everyone and I heard stories from everyone.

112
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Nobody brought me any evidence.

113
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
So one side of the coin, it's everywhere out there.

114
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
As it been here, I have no evidence.

115
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
NASA officials claim the video images show ice particles glinting in the sun.

116
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,000
But is it possible that video transmissions from the space shuttle captured more than what NASA officials want to admit?

117
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Occasionally, astronauts, shuttle astronauts will report that they've seen things or experienced things in space

118
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
but they can't explain and that might be due to an alien presence.

119
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Ever since humankind launched itself into space, there have been reports where astronauts describe something that they saw while being up in the spaceship.

120
00:17:52,000 --> 00:18:04,000
And we have to remind ourselves that those stories are reported by astronauts and not by insane people.

121
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:14,000
In 1996, video captured aboard the space shuttle Columbia STS-80

122
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000
reportedly shows a number of fast-moving objects just outside the craft.

123
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
These unidentified objects appear as bright streaks.

124
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Analysis of their speeds and directions have prompted some researchers to dismiss the claims that the objects were shuttle debris or meteors.

125
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:49,000
There's a space shuttle video of two very specific missions, STS-48 and STS-80, which clearly show what appear to be powered vehicles operating in low-Earth orbit.

126
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Define all the laws of physics and clearly performing the way UFOs or extraterrestrial spacecraft are supposedly able to perform.

127
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
But American astronauts are not the only space travelers reporting otherworldly encounters.

128
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:20,000
In 1985, Soviet cosmonauts aboard the Salyut-7 reported seeing seven celestial beings orbiting Earth.

129
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Six cosmonauts claimed that as they looked out of the window of the space station, they saw what they described as winged angels surrounding their ship.

130
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:44,000
And that these were luminous beings looking like people, but also having bizarrely wings on them.

131
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And they're in space. So you have to wonder what's going on here.

132
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And were these angels some kind of extraterrestrials in special spacesuits or fields around them?

133
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:07,000
And they were investigating the Soviet space station and then suddenly, bang, they just vanished.

134
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:19,000
If reports from trained scientists are true, is this proof that extraterrestrial intelligence has been trying to contact us?

135
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Gordon Cooper approached the United Nations about them actually setting up a bureau at the United Nations for extraterrestrial contact.

136
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:44,000
This is not unknown knowledge. There are people that know and there seems to be perhaps several different species of aliens visiting here and it looks like likely they have been for a long, long time.

137
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Might NASA really be withholding classified information regarding the existence of extraterrestrial beings?

138
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Perhaps the answer can be found by taking a look at NASA's curious origins.

139
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:25,000
NASA was formed in 1958 partly out of a previously existing government agency called NACA that just dealt with aeronautics.

140
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:35,000
And then with the early space program that was being developed by the Army and the Air Force,

141
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:45,000
NASA was established to take the United States into space and to be a contender in the new direction that humanity was moving of exploring space and out into our solar system.

142
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:57,000
The President and Congress established NASA as part of the Department of Space Research and Space Research.

143
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000
The President and Congress established NASA as part of the Department of Defense.

144
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,000
The official reason was to prevent the Soviets from stealing U.S. technology.

145
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:23,000
But some believe the real motive for this classification was not to hide information from the Soviets, but to hide it from the American public.

146
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,000
A lot of people have the idea that NASA is a civilian science agency and it's not.

147
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
It says right there in the act of Congress that created it.

148
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Anything that they discover is subject to classification and being kept secret and being kept from the American people.

149
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000
The Brookings Report, which was commissioned by NASA right after NASA itself was created,

150
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,000
essentially was commissioned for the purpose of deciding what NASA should do if in fact they made some sort of extraterrestrial contact.

151
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:06,000
If they either found artifacts on the moon or on Mars, or if they had direct contact with a superior intelligence, what they should do.

152
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
When the Brookings Report says very specifically, number one, don't tell anybody.

153
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000
If you tell anybody, it will shatter the fabric of our civilization. It will destroy us.

154
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Some researchers believe the evidence of NASA's hidden agenda can be found in the close ties between its founding scientists and secret societies.

155
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:44,000
These secret societies had at their core essentially a belief that they were directly descended from these great gods of ancient Egypt, Isis, Osiris and Horus.

156
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:53,000
And they considered these gods to be truly the source of their bloodline, but also that these gods themselves came from space.

157
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
At the very top, you had the Freemasons. You had James Webb, who was the director of NASA.

158
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
You had a man named Kenneth Kleinkinekt, who was the head of the Mercury program, the Apollo program, the Gemini program.

159
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,000
He was a 33rd degree Scottish right Freemason. Below them you had a hermetic order of the Golden Dawn or followers of Alistair Crowley.

160
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:27,000
People like Jack Parsons out at JPL were all put together, and so they all ended up out of the very same roof with the very same agenda and the very same belief system.

161
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:37,000
We see this practice of passing knowledge down through a secret society go back all the way to the days of the Illuminati.

162
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Who believe that a select few of the elite were smart enough, were capable of handling this secret knowledge, but not the population at large.

163
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:56,000
So the question remains, has this knowledge been passed down through secret societies for generations?

164
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:04,000
And this may predate the secret societies that we know about in modern times, all the way back to the days of the pharaohs.

165
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Like the ancient Egyptians, could NASA's founding fathers have shared the belief that humans descended from extraterrestrial beings?

166
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000
What did the members of these secret societies know about space travel?

167
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
And how did the ancient past influence their work?

168
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Those who suspect these NASA officials operated a hidden agenda point to the repeated use of the number 33, an extremely important symbolic figure in secret societies.

169
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:59,000
If you look at the very first landing strip at Cape Canaveral where we would be landing aircraft and eventually bring the space shuttle back, it was runway 33.

170
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:07,000
If you look at the launch pad at White Sands, New Mexico, the only launch pad is launch pad number 33.

171
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:21,000
So it seems to permeate throughout NASA this number 33 over and over again, and the fact that it's connected to Freemasonry makes you kind of wonder if maybe there was some other deeper symbolism working.

172
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
This thing here, a go for landing over, over 300 feet, 21 down, 33 degrees.

173
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Researchers believe the connection to ancient Egyptian beliefs can also be found in the emblem of NASA's Apollo space program.

174
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:51,000
They claim that the large A in the star field stands not for the Greek god Apollo, but for a star, the Egyptian god more commonly known as Osiris.

175
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:00,000
This is indicated by the cluster of three stars in the center of the A, which represent the stars of Orion's belt.

176
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:18,000
You have to wonder if stars like Orion and Sirius are very important to NASA because this is where the ancient traditions, including Egyptian, have said that the space gods came from. This is our origins.

177
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Similarly, researchers point out that the symbol on the Mercury mission patches is nearly identical to a major icon of ancient Egypt.

178
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:47,000
If you look at the mission patches, the symbol for Mercury is really similar to the Egyptian onc, and it's kind of ironic that you have this sort of Egyptian symbolism in what's supposed to be a representation of Mercury, the messenger, is supposed to be a Greek mythology rather than an Egyptian mythology.

179
00:27:49,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Is it possible that like ancient alien theorists, NASA scientists believe extraterrestrials visited Earth in the distant past?

180
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Perhaps further evidence can be found in the inventions of the unlikely mastermind behind NASA's space program.

181
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Former Nazi SS officer Werner von Braun.

182
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
London, England. September 8th, 1944.

183
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:37,000
A 13 ton ballistic missile explodes on impact, killing three and wounding 17.

184
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:50,000
The Vengeance Weapon II, more commonly known as the V-2 rocket, had been fired from deep within Nazi Germany.

185
00:28:51,000 --> 00:29:02,000
The liquid propellant weapon proved to be the world's first long range guided missile, and the first man made object to enter outer space.

186
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:10,000
This incredible technology was the brainchild of a man who would eventually become the face of NASA.

187
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
A 32 year old engineering genius named Werner von Braun.

188
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Dr. von Braun was acknowledged by everyone as the greatest scientific mind in Germany.

189
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
He found a way to steer a rocket at 4,000 miles an hour.

190
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:37,000
He put a combustion chamber that was cooled by the liquid fuel itself, and redesigned the fuel chamber, and he put a guidance system on it.

191
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000
He was an expert at every facet of rocketry, which is really unheard of.

192
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Von Braun's passion for rocketry began at an early age.

193
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:09,000
As a youth, he read science fiction novels by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, and it was exposed to mythical stories of the Norse god, Tyr, a sky god that ruled over Mars and provided knowledge and technology to humans.

194
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Werner von Braun from childhood was absolutely convinced that we had to go out there. It possessed him.

195
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And so he was absolutely convinced that mankind had a mission, and also that he had a role to perform.

196
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:36,000
He feels absolutely confident that he will be able to go to Mars, find evidence of an extraterrestrial civilization there,

197
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
and from then onwards, we'll actually go further into space to do this.

198
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Von Braun wanted to go into space. He wanted to go to the stars.

199
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:52,000
But then, of course, he got so good at rocketry that Germans wanted him driving V2s on London. He was very good at that.

200
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,000
During World War II, Von Braun worked as the technical director at Germany's Pina Munda Research Center,

201
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:07,000
where he built rockets not for space travel, but as weapons of war.

202
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:20,000
His brilliance as a rocket scientist earned him a spot in the SS, among Hitler's most trusted scientists and officers.

203
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Hitler's SS was nothing more than a secret society.

204
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:33,000
What the SS believed was that the Aryan himself was this direct pure bloodline that came from Isis and Osiris and Horus and Seth.

205
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Von Braun learned about the myths of the superiority of the Aryan race and their rightful place in the stars and where they had come from.

206
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
So it makes complete sense that Von Braun would become fascinated with space.

207
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:57,000
The mission became to get back up to the stars to rejoin the gods to show them that we could do as they had done and travel to the stars, travel to the planets,

208
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
and basically go back and reclaim our proper place in the universe.

209
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Although the V2 rocket was far more advanced than any other fire during World War II, it was not enough to prevent Germany's defeat.

210
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Six weeks after the last V2 fell on England, Von Braun surrendered to the advancing American forces.

211
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000
I myself and everybody you see here have decided to go west.

212
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Von Braun and his team of scientists were brought to the United States under a controversial classified program known as Operation Paperclip.

213
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:54,000
After the war we decided that we were going to be adversaries with the Soviet Union and that we needed to have the technological jump on them.

214
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:02,000
So we brought these Nazi scientists over, whitewashed their Nazi background and rolled them into our military industrial complex.

215
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:20,000
While continuing his work designing military missiles, Von Braun published a series of books and magazine articles that described his concepts for a lunar landing, a manned mission to Mars, and even an orbiting space station.

216
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000
The entire wheel will slowly rotate at three revolutions per minute.

217
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:33,000
The resulting centrifugal force will produce an artificial gravity for the men in the rim.

218
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Notice that the floors are placed so that the men stand with their heads towards the hub.

219
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000
But why was Von Braun so intent on traveling into space?

220
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Von Braun was very much the public scientific face of the American space program.

221
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:59,000
He was obsessed by the way with not just going to the moon but also going beyond that and eventually building colonies on Mars.

222
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:08,000
The deal was to build a rocket that didn't just go up a couple of hundred miles, but a rocket that could make it a quarter of a million miles all the way to the moon.

223
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:20,000
If we were to start today on an organized and well supported space program, I believe a practical passenger rocket could be built and tested within ten years.

224
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Von Braun went to work on a Jupiter C, which was upgraded V2.

225
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:37,000
But what is unbelievable is he went from an upgraded V2 to a Saturn F1, which is even today, 45 years later still.

226
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:46,000
The most powerful and the most reliable and the best rocket engine that's ever existed, even though he did that 45 years ago.

227
00:34:48,000 --> 00:35:01,000
On May 5th 1961, less than three years after joining NASA, Von Braun stood watch as one of his rockets carried Alan Shepard up into space.

228
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Twenty days later, on May 25th 1961, President Kennedy announced his goal to send a man to the moon.

229
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:20,000
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

230
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.

231
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:45,000
But then, according to the National Security Action Memorandum, number 271, JFK followed up his dramatic announcement by secretly proposing to merge NASA's space program with that of the Soviets.

232
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:56,000
But why, when it appeared that Americans were finally moving ahead in the race for space, would JFK offer to share technologies with America's rival?

233
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:09,000
According to conspiracy theorist, it's because something was discovered along the way, and that discovery was alien visitation did exist, and they already knew about it.

234
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:23,000
The race for the moon, was it a race between two nations, or was it a race by two nations to reach technology on the moon that was left behind by an extraterrestrial race?

235
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Is it possible Von Braun's rockets had drawn the attention of other worldly beings, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

236
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:47,000
What did NASA's scientists expect to find on the moon? And might they also have been looking for evidence of life on Mars?

237
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:59,000
The Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida

238
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,000
3, 2, 1, engines start

239
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:19,000
On November 26, 2011, scientists with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory launched their 19th unmanned mission to Mars.

240
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:27,000
The Mars Science Laboratory is expected to enter the Martian atmosphere in August 2012.

241
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:45,000
After deploying its parachute and landing on the surface, an automobile-sized remote-controlled rover named Curiosity will probe the red planet's past and present ability to sustain microbial life.

242
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
It's going to be able to roam around the surface of Mars pretty fast compared to our old rovers, and go the length of a football field in an hour.

243
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:00,000
But it can also analyze the surface of Mars, and it's trying to find out, look, was there ever liquid water here, lakes, oceans, that kind of thing?

244
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:09,000
What about the chemical composition of the soil? Is it the kind of thing that indicates that Mars is once a kinder, gentler world?

245
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
It's not looking directly for life. We still don't do that.

246
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:31,000
We have evidence that although Mars is very cold now, has a very thin atmosphere, it once had a thick atmosphere, blue sky, clouds, rain, liquid water, the ingredients we think would be possible for life.

247
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:47,000
So it's quite reasonable to imagine that life formed there. Long ago, the question is, could the life have survived as the planet got colder? Could it have gone below the surface, for instance? We think so.

248
00:38:48,000 --> 00:39:04,000
If Werner von Braun's visions of space travel could become reality and land a man on the moon, could his concept of human travel to Mars become a fact as well?

249
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,000
And might NASA still be secretly developing his ideas? Plans first drawn up nearly 60 years ago.

250
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:43,000
If you look at the research that was being done in field dynamics and very, very exotic physics back in the 1950s and even into the early 1960s, it's pretty clear that we were on a very exciting path towards very, very powerful breakthrough propulsion systems that would essentially allow us to create flying saucers that could travel very easily and very short amounts of time between the Earth and the Moon, between the Earth and Mars.

251
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
So it makes complete sense that we do have the secret private program that maybe even a lot of the guys inside NASA themselves don't know about.

252
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:12,000
In the more near term, NASA and other space agencies talked about moving out into the solar system, and there we're looking at using a variety of extraterrestrial materials to produce propellants for rockets, oxygen for life support,

253
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
even building materials.

254
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Many researchers believe that the overt NASA missions are really a cover for what they call a secret space program, and that the secret space program is using different technology than rockets.

255
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:54,000
More of an alien type technology, some kind of anti-gravity type craft, and that those craft, rather than rockets, could be going two bases on the Moon that would be secret bases.

256
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Also, manned by the American government or the secret space program, and that from those bases on the Moon, we could even be journeying in these retro-engineered spacecraft to Mars.

257
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:24,000
According to scientists, the possibility of transforming Mars into an Earth-like planet is theoretically possible.

258
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:37,000
I think Mars is terraformable. Terraforming means to take life to a place that has no life and start growing a life there. I think Mars is unbelievably terraformable.

259
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:57,000
I can't imagine we'll ever reach a destination that answers all our questions. But as an astrobiologist, I think in the next 25 or 30 years, we have a very good chance of finding evidence of life beyond Earth.

260
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:03,000
As a real prospect, you'll be able to answer that fundamental question, are we alone?

261
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Most NASA scientists agree that future exploration of space will uncover life on other planets.

262
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:27,000
But could it also reveal proof that the gods of the ancient world were in fact extraterrestrials, as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

263
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:41,000
NASA's real core mission in the beginning was essentially to go to the Moon, retrieve evidence of the fact that there was a prior advanced civilization in this solar system, and bring it back.

264
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:49,000
In other words, prove that in fact we are descended from these gods, Isis, Osiris, Horus, and Seth.

265
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Now that that goal has been accomplished, NASA's purpose seems to be to be part of this very, very slow revelation of information.

266
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:09,000
NASA asks the question of human origins. Where did we come from? Why are we here? And where are we going?

267
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:21,000
They're dealing with space, and according to the ancient alien theory, our origins are not here on Earth, but up there.

268
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Space truly is the final frontier.

269
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:41,000
If ancient knowledge guided us to the Moon, what might the ancient past reveal about our future here on Earth?

270
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:57,000
And with NASA's continuing explorations of space, might we finally find proof of alien beings, or proof of our own alien origins?
