1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Megalithic structures in the middle of the ocean.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Legend state that the stones actually flow from one part of the island to another.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Terrifying creatures.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
There are stories about giants killing people and taking over things.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
And mysterious events on the open sea.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
How can an island just disappear?

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Are the stories of lost civilizations and unreachable paradises

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
simply the product of imaginative seafarers?

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Or could there be remote locations all over the world that are secret bases or extraterrestrials?

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
There have been sightings on the island man going back centuries of what are described as fiery wheels in the sky.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
They're in the middle of the ocean. There's just nothing that's supposed to be there.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And yet there's activity being reported there.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
What if it were true?

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And if so, might we find proof by exploring the world's forbidden islands?

17
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:52,000
March 1963.

18
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
75 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico.

19
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
While training in anti-submarine maneuvers, the United States Navy's fleet,

20
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
led by the USS Wasp aircraft carrier,

21
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
detects an unknown sonar target moving in the nearby waters.

22
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
For four days, the fleet tracked the unknown object,

23
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
recording its speed at more than 150 knots, or 170 miles per hour.

24
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
There is nothing in any naval inventory anywhere in the world

25
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
that can approach anything remotely, that speed, not then, not now.

26
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Moreover, the object descended to a depth of something like 27,000 feet.

27
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Again, another impossibility. The pressures down there were vastly too much.

28
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
They would crush any vessel that went down that deep.

29
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
That time, the technology that we had, the best that we could do,

30
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
underwater was about 45 knots and a maximum depth of about 3,000 feet.

31
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
For the last 100, 200 years, there have been many, many accounts of objects

32
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
that have been seen underwater.

33
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
But exactly what they are, we still do not know.

34
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,000
There's been a tremendous surge of UFO sightings in Puerto Rico since the early 1990s.

35
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And for many of the Puerto Rican witnesses,

36
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
they're absolutely convinced that there's some sort of a potential for them.

37
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
They're absolutely convinced that there's some sort of massive futuristic installation

38
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
deep below Puerto Rico under the ocean bed.

39
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Is it possible that aliens have bases here on Earth, hidden deep underwater,

40
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
and off the coasts of islands?

41
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Could this explain why so many islands around the world

42
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
have stories of unexplained sightings of objects both overhead and beneath the sea?

43
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Isolated islands would be a perfect location for, say, extraterrestrial beings

44
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
to make their base of operations.

45
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Radar could spot any kind of craft in orbit very quickly.

46
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
However, if you had your base underwater, near an island,

47
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
it would be a lot more difficult to be discovered.

48
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Islands are essentially mountains that are mostly underwater.

49
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
What they are, in essence, is energetic upwellings of the energy of the Earth

50
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
pushing higher and higher and higher.

51
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Logically, these types of locations would be very attractive to visitors from another world,

52
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
especially visitors that would be looking for an ideal place to set up a base

53
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
or a landing spot or simply a place where they could draw some of the Earth's energy.

54
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
The Aleutian Islands.

55
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Just off the Alaskan coast, this chain of more than 100 small islands

56
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:14,000
extends west for 1,100 miles, separating the Bering Sea from the Pacific Ocean.

57
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Here, in the summer of 1945, 14 crew members of the United States Army Transport, Delaroff,

58
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
reported seeing what they believed to be a large UFO,

59
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
emerge from the waters near the island of Adak.

60
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's reported that a round object that appeared dark against the setting sun at the time

61
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,000
actually rose up vertically into the air and then circled the boat two or possibly three times

62
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
and was visible for about seven or eight minutes before it vanished.

63
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
If something comes out of the water, circles around and then takes off like that,

64
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
that's well beyond anything we're supposed to have.

65
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And they're in the middle of the ocean. That's the important thing to remember here.

66
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
There's just nothing, nothing that's supposed to be there

67
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
and yet there's activity being reported there.

68
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
UFO sightings around the Aleutian Islands continue to this day.

69
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
But why?

70
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Is it perhaps more than mere coincidence that the native people known as the Aleuts

71
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,000
believe this is the exact spot where their ancestors first descended from the skies?

72
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
The Aleuts believe they descended from a creature that had come from the sky.

73
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Dog actually had fallen to the island of Umnak and had had two pups with paws.

74
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But the children that came from those two were perfect humans.

75
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,000
So by way of this descent from the heavens and by way of animal form, we get the Aleutian people.

76
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I find intriguing that the Aleuts' origin story has something to do with them having arrived from the sky,

77
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
essentially saying that they have been ceded.

78
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:27,000
So the fact that to this day that area of the world is considered a hotspot for UFOs is not coincidence.

79
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:37,000
There have been rumors that there is an underground alien or UFO base in the Aleutian Islands.

80
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
The question is, could a base really exist there?

81
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
And the answer is, yeah.

82
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
There's plenty of places, gnolls, atolls, volcanoes,

83
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000
where if hollowed out they would pretty much make ideal bases for UFOs to use to come and go

84
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
as they please and to investigate that area.

85
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Could there really be a connection between the high number of UFO sightings and the Aleut's origin story?

86
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and as evidence they point to the fact that similar legends exist on other remote islands.

87
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Islands that have also had reports of UFOs.

88
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:39,000
5,000 miles to the east of the Aleutian Islands, nestled in the Irish Sea, lies the Isle of Man.

89
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:49,000
According to legend, the Isle of Man was founded by a mystical race of Celts, the Toa'aad de Danan,

90
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:56,000
who possessed magical powers, vanished from heaven for their sorcery and advanced knowledge.

91
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
They descended on Ireland in a cloud of mist.

92
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:09,000
It said that at the end of their time they just sort of vanished, left behind their ghosts, literally.

93
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And these are remembered in folklore of the Isle of Man as the little people.

94
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,000
The so-called little people are believed by the locals to be able to put humans under a magical spell.

95
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
A spell in which all awareness of space and time is lost.

96
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Kidnapping human beings is one of the chief activities of the little people.

97
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,000
And the whole point of these stories is that the humans tend to come back from the other realm,

98
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
often finding the hundreds of years of past.

99
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
And this sounds really, really similar to what people experience sometimes during alien abduction events.

100
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Where a ship will show up, the very small aliens will come out, they'll find themselves paralyzed,

101
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
they'll have missing time experiences.

102
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
There's reason to believe that the little people may have in fact been extraterrestrials

103
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,000
the same grace as we describe them that perform the same types of magical enchantment on people that they abduct today.

104
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Could the legends of the little people and the ancestral Toa'aad de Danan actually be describing otherworldly beings

105
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
that came to Earth in the distant past?

106
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And if so, might these legends be connected to modern-day UFO sightings over the Isle of Man?

107
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Locals claim that these UFO sightings have been reported for centuries.

108
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And for ancient astronaut theorists, the most compelling sighting of all is a 2,500-year-old report of a fiery wheel

109
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
with three spokes descending from the heavens.

110
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000
According to legend on the Isle of Man, some fishermen were washed ashore during a terrible storm.

111
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Suddenly this three-spoked craft came out of the clouds, terrifying.

112
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000
There have been sightings on the Isle of Man going back centuries of what are described as wheels or fiery wheels in the sky.

113
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Now these descriptions are almost identical to the description of the wheel of Ezekiel in the Bible.

114
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:46,000
According to Ezekiel chapter 1, the prophet saw a flying object described as four wheels within a wheel

115
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:55,000
and it counts that ancient astronaut theorists say is not of an angel, but of an extraterrestrial spacecraft.

116
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Biblical scholars have very much struggled with the description of Ezekiel's wheel seeing wheels within wheels.

117
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:09,000
The idea that a cherub was standing next to each wheel, it's very clear that he's describing some type of device.

118
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Ezekiel describes wheels within a wheel and eyes of different animals and they're all gleaming like bronze and metal.

119
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:29,000
So what is really described here? It reads much more like an encounter with some type of an extraterrestrial craft

120
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
that was misinterpreted as some type of a divine event.

121
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:45,000
So you have to think really that Isle of Man was some kind of island that was chosen by the extraterrestrials.

122
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
This was one of their bases. They would land their UFOs there.

123
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And in fact legends about UFOs and extraterrestrials continue on the island even to this day.

124
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Could these islands actually contain alien base camps as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

125
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And might these powerful locations reveal important knowledge for mankind?

126
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Perhaps clues can be found in another mysterious Pacific island chain.

127
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:29,000
9200 miles to the southeast, an area rumored to be inhabited by giants.

128
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
The Solomon Islands.

129
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
800 miles east of Papua New Guinea.

130
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000
This group of nearly 1000 isles covers 11,000 square miles.

131
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Though first discovered in 1568 by Spanish explorers, many people identify this area with World War II.

132
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Due to the fierce fighting that occurred between the Japanese and Americans on the largest island here.

133
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Guadalcanal.

134
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,000
In a campaign that lasted over six months, a total of 41 warships were sunk,

135
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000
and over 30,000 men died either in battle or from disease.

136
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
The Americans and Japanese, they left behind a lot of the remnants of the war.

137
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Ships that were sunk, for instance.

138
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And then on land, you have leftovers of tanks and a lot of ammunition as well.

139
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:41,000
There was a place close to where I went to school called Hell's Point, and it's full of live ammunition.

140
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
But Guadalcanal is also infamous for something else.

141
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,000
The countless local legends of giants.

142
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
There are mysterious legends all over the Solomon Islands, actually.

143
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
A lot of the stories on Guadalcanal tend to talk about giants, the relationship between people and giants.

144
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Giants are often portrayed in different ways.

145
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Sometimes they are benevolent giants, they help people, they look after people.

146
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
But there are stories about giants killing people and taking over things.

147
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
So, giant is a major character in a lot of the Guadalcanal stories.

148
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000
There are legends, stories that go way back that suggest that giants actually still live on the Solomon Islands.

149
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Some say they're kind of hairy beast Sasquat-like kind of beings.

150
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Others say they're more humanoid.

151
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And some say they even relate and kind of mate with the human population.

152
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:08,000
According to local legends, those giants were able to travel the entire length of the island without seeing the light of day by utilizing subterranean tunnels.

153
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
People talk about it, that giants actually do exist.

154
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
They existed in the past, today with all kinds of developments that are taking place.

155
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
They shift further into the mountains.

156
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
They really do exist.

157
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
It's not just a mythology to scare children.

158
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000
According to one report in 1998, workers during a gold mining operation

159
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:45,000
witnessed what they believe is proof of the existence of the giants of Guadalcanal

160
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
when one of their bulldozers broke down.

161
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
The workers say they removed the 10 ton blade from the machine to make overnight repairs.

162
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
And when they returned to the dig site the next morning, they were shocked by what they found.

163
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
The blade itself had been moved quite a distance.

164
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000
And they found footprints of giants in the mud.

165
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
So they could only assume that these famous giants of the Solomon Islands had been there and moved the bulldozer blade.

166
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Could Guadalcanal really be home to giants?

167
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000
If so, what are they and where did they come from?

168
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:40,000
In the book, Solomon Islands Mysteries, author Marius Boyron, a retired helicopter engineer

169
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:48,000
who lived on the Solomon Islands for many years interviewing locals, unveils a groundbreaking theory.

170
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,000
The Australian author Boyron believed that incidents of the giants that he had been told about by the natives

171
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
were related to UFO activity.

172
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And from what he could put together, there was some kind of UFO base deep in the mountains of Central Guadalcanal

173
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
and it involved these giants.

174
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
And at the same time, there was some kind of underwater UFO base there as well.

175
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Eyewitness accounts of UFOs have been documented on the Solomon Islands for years.

176
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:37,000
And mysteriously, details reveal that the UFOs seem to rise out of the surrounding ocean where warships sank in World War II

177
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
and vanish into a remote mountain lake on the island.

178
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,000
People often talk about seeing light not only in the sky but in the ocean as well.

179
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000
That you see lights in the ocean and then you see lights flying past our overhead as well

180
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,000
and sometimes crushing into the ocean like a plane crushing.

181
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
There have been sightings of flying saucers appearing over the wreckage,

182
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
flying into and out of mountains and volcanoes in the area.

183
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
So the whole area is really pretty interesting.

184
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
There have been reports that objects, strange lights, actually rise up out of the waters into the air

185
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,000
and move about for a period of time and then disappear.

186
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
And often this is either witnessed from the beach or is experienced at close hand by a fisherman.

187
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:49,000
And it's said that sometimes these objects come so close that the fisherman can actually feel the heat as they pass.

188
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,000
There's a lot of local people who had said, yes, for many years we've seen these types of things happening.

189
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:08,000
There are numerous accounts of abductions, people who disappear after coming into contact with these UFOs.

190
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Never do we see them again.

191
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Could there be a connection between the legends of the giants of Guadalcanal

192
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
and the numerous UFO sightings that have been reported here over the years?

193
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:33,000
And might this be evidence that Guadalcanal really is the site of an underwater alien base?

194
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers can be found by examining stories.

195
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Other strange creatures said to inhabit the island. Creatures like the Adaro.

196
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
The Adaro are frightening looking creatures, half fish, half man.

197
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
They were said to have come from the sun by way of rainbows.

198
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
They could be dangerous. They could shoot poisonous flying fish at you.

199
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:10,000
So the notion of some creature that was of danger and mythological qualities coming from far away seems alive and well in the Solomon Islands.

200
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Chua Chua is a story that a lot of people in Guadalcanal know about.

201
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,000
That these are actually human beings, but at certain time they take different forms.

202
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000
These are energies that can shape shift into any form.

203
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,000
These are not just stories for entertainment or for scaring the children. These fears are great.

204
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:49,000
You have to wonder if these famous giants of the Solomon Islands and these weird beings were in fact extraterrestrials that were there to protect these secret bases.

205
00:21:50,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Is it possible that the stories of giants, sea monsters and other strange beings on Guadalcanal are really accounts of extraterrestrials who appear as frightening creatures in order to scare off anyone who might discover their secret alien bases?

206
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000
The Solomon Islands is right on what we call the Ring of Fire, a lot of volcanic activity, a lot of tectonic and geo activity.

207
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
So there's a lot of energy there.

208
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:29,000
One theory would simply be that if these other beings, whatever they are, wanted access to a good source of energy, that might be a very good place to go.

209
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Could the stories from the illusion islands, the Isle of Man and the Solomon Islands be evidence that there are alien bases located beneath our seas?

210
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to an island on the other side of the world that is archaeologists mystified even to this day.

211
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000
The Island of Pone Pei

212
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:12,000
More than 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii, completely isolated in the Pacific Ocean.

213
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:20,000
This Micronesian landmass is home to just 34,000 people, mainly farmers and fishermen.

214
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:29,000
But there is one area of the island that is completely uninhabited, the Lost City of Nhan Madal.

215
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:43,000
The native islanders believe this ancient site is cursed and it is also home to some of the most mysterious archaeological ruins in the world.

216
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Built on a coral reef just off the eastern coast of Pone Pei and sprawling more than 200 acres, Nhan Madal consists of 92 smaller man-made islands connected by canals.

217
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:16,000
According to historians, this ancient city, often called the Venice of the Pacific, was the capital of the Sautalua dynasty that ruled from about 500 to 1628 AD.

218
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:24,000
This ancient city housed the Sautalua's, the kings of that time.

219
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000
So it has their houses, it has feasting areas, it has tombs.

220
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
So there's a whole number of areas that each of these islets supported.

221
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Most archaeologists agree that construction of these artificial islands began sometime in the 13th century.

222
00:24:50,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Each has been formed with columnar basalt, a black rock that forms when basaltic lava from a volcano cools in the form of columns.

223
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:08,000
There are a number of columnar basalt outflows across Pone Pei itself.

224
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And we know of several of these outcrops that were used to mine the basalt.

225
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000
They were then transported to the area of Nhan Madal and then placed to create these small islets.

226
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:34,000
But how did the native people living here 800 years ago manage to build 92 islets out of giant basalt columns?

227
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Researchers estimate that each stone log used to construct the megalithic structures weighs between 5 to 50 tons.

228
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Stacked to form walls as high as 25 feet tall and 17 feet thick.

229
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Archaeologists believe that it was an undertaking that most likely would have required all 25,000 island inhabitants to complete.

230
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Around the ruins of Nhan Madal are many canals which researchers and archaeologists say were the roots taken by boats to move these basalt columns across and around the island

231
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
to construct huge megalithic sites.

232
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Mainstream scholars insist native people built Nhan Madal using ropes, rollers and rafts.

233
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
But attempts to prove this theory have failed.

234
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:42,000
So if you add up all of the stone logs, you have a weight of 750,000 or so metric tons.

235
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
That's a lot.

236
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:56,000
If you were to move maybe 2,000 tons a year, you might be able to get it built over about three centuries.

237
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,000
We're talking about a major, massive effort here.

238
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000
The kind of effort that you would see in the construction of the pyramids in Egypt.

239
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:24,000
What could there be another explanation for how these ancient people were able to move such massive rocks miles across the island and into place in the ocean without the help of modern machinery?

240
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:43,000
According to local legends, the ancient builders used a much more profound method of construction, an advanced anti-gravitational technology that ancient astronaut theorists believe may explain many of the world's mysterious megalithic sites.

241
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Some legends state that the stones were actually flown from one part of the island to another or levitate it some way to get them up to such high areas of the main construction.

242
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:12,000
This is very reminiscent of what researchers call auditive levitation, which was a technique of raising heavy stones by matching the sound frequency of matter.

243
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Rendering it weightless and moving it into place.

244
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:30,000
The people themselves who still to this day live there in Pompeii say that this place was not built by us. It's been here before we arrived.

245
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:44,000
And they themselves say that basalt blocks were moved as if by ghost hand. That is why the natives call non-Madal also the city of ghosts.

246
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Although no written records on the island's history exist, its spoken myths and legends have survived through generations.

247
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:07,000
According to the natives, non-Madal has been plagued by a curse for centuries and anyone who explores the ruins will perish.

248
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:24,000
The local islanders believe that the city of Namadal is cursed and they say they see lights moving throughout the city at night and they believe that if they spend the night there, they'll die.

249
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:36,000
When the Europeans came to colonize Micronesia in the early 20th century, they were advised of the non-Madal and it's a ledged spell.

250
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:51,000
In April of 1907, the German governor, Victor Berg, disregarded these warnings and not only explored the island ruins, but even opened a tomb of the ancient rulers.

251
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Locals say Governor Berg was haunted by strange sounds that night and the next morning mysteriously died.

252
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:16,000
The local legend said that if you messed with this site in any way, it was cursed and in fact it would be a terrible price to pay for it and it appears that Victor Berg lost his life because of this curse.

253
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Official records indicate the governor died April 30th, 1907 due to sunstroke and heat exhaustion while surveying the ruins.

254
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:40,000
But the natives maintain that his untimely death was a result of the curse and proof that other worldly powers guard the mystical island city.

255
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Might the local legends of supernatural forces at work on the islands actually be true?

256
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:55,000
And if so, just who or what is haunting these mysterious islands?

257
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Ancient astronaut theorists claim the strongest evidence that an advanced race of extraterrestrials helped to build non-Madal is not the megalithic rock structures, but what may lie beneath them.

258
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Nanmedal is a huge city and most of it is above water, but parts of it are underwater.

259
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,000
And the islanders say that there is a second city there called Canemwesa.

260
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
This is the city of the gods and it's in even deeper water.

261
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,000
You have to wonder if there isn't some kind of underwater UFO base even today.

262
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:45,000
If the local legends are true, could non-Madal really be the remnants of an ancient alien base?

263
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,000
One that exists not only above ground but also extends down into the sea.

264
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:03,000
And might this explain why the natives of Pompeii have left this part of the island uninhabited for nearly 400 years?

265
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:13,000
There are those who believe the answers can be found by examining islands that have suddenly and mysteriously vanished.

266
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,000
The Pacific Ocean, October 2012.

267
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Scientists aboard a research ship between Australia and New Caledonia sent a course for 19 degrees south latitude and 160 degrees east longitude, the location of Sandy Island.

268
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:45,000
But when they arrive, they make a shocking discovery. The island is not there.

269
00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Digital scientific databases have shown Sandy Island to be 15 miles long and 3 miles wide, approximately the size of Manhattan.

270
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Small islands sometimes disappear due to rising ocean levels.

271
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:16,000
But the researchers find no evidence of a sunken land mass, just ocean waters 4,600 feet deep.

272
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Sandy Island is an island of great mystery. It literally disappeared. According to early eyewitness accounts, including those by Captain Cook in the 1700s, this island clearly existed.

273
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
And it makes you wonder, how can an island just disappear?

274
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Was it there to begin with? Absolutely it was. There's eyewitness accounts of it.

275
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Captain James Cook was the first to establish Sandy Island on a map back in 1774.

276
00:33:48,000 --> 00:34:00,000
And in fact, the island still appeared even on modern satellite maps up until 2013, when it was finally removed based on the findings of the University of Sydney.

277
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:12,000
But how could an island that has appeared on maps for over 230 years suddenly disappear?

278
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:23,000
There are a number of accounts within folklore and legend of mythical islands.

279
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:32,000
For instance, the Antilles and others which appeared on ancient maps and yet which don't exist today.

280
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000
So did they once exist? Do they exist only at certain times?

281
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:46,000
We could be dealing with a phenomena whereby these islands disappear at certain times and then reappear.

282
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Although is that something that's natural? Is this something to do with geology or is this something to do with something more supernatural?

283
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
This is obviously a mystery which remains to be solved.

284
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:20,000
When the University of Sydney findings were first revealed, many scientists insisted that the researchers must have been looking in the wrong place, pointing to the fact that satellites had recorded temperatures in this location consistent with the presence of land.

285
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Scientists would later claim that this anomaly was due to errors in the data sets.

286
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:39,000
But how could the temperature data, the satellite images and numerous other maps dating back to the 18th century all be an error?

287
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:49,000
It's possible that these islands actually do exist but they're somehow being cloaked by whoever might be using the islands.

288
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:59,000
For instance, extraterrestrial visitors could very easily create a light bending type of device which could make it appear that an island that was once there is no longer there.

289
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:11,000
There are other stories of islands that appear and disappear and sometimes there's a mist around them. There are stories like this around the Samoan Islands.

290
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:32,000
So you have to wonder if extraterrestrials have some kind of super technology that allows them to cloak islands and make them appear and disappear. It boggles the mind that such a technology would exist and yet it appears to be so.

291
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Could extraterrestrials really be using advanced cloaking technology to hide Sandy Island?

292
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe there may be an even more incredible explanation behind the disappearance of Sandy Island.

293
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Things like Sandy Island that somehow was located and then when they went to go look for it is gone. It's very possible that these aren't islands but are some technological device coming up to the surface or landing for a little while and going away.

294
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:22,000
In ancient Greek mythology we have these stories of the Astéria of the falling stars that would fall into the water.

295
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,000
But they wouldn't sink. They could in fact travel from place to place. Floating islands so to speak.

296
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:42,000
So what if in this particular case we have a similar story? Is that really what is happening?

297
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Is it possible that these phantom islands that appear and disappear are really elaborate alien outposts?

298
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:01,000
And could the extraterrestrials that use them still be here on Earth waiting to be discovered?

299
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that further evidence can be found by examining another island that mysteriously disappeared.

300
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,000
An island that was said to be home to otherworldly beings.

301
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
The North Atlantic Ocean.

302
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,000
200 miles west of Ireland.

303
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Light open waters expanding as far as the eye can see.

304
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:46,000
But according to 14th century Mediterranean map makers this exact spot marks the location of an island known as High Brazil.

305
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:59,000
For more than 600 years sailors across the world have searched for the so called phantom island believed to contain an Eden like paradise.

306
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Lore has it that the island couldn't be seen except once every seven years when it could be seen but not reached.

307
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:27,000
High Brazil allegedly appeared and disappeared behind the mists. It could never definitively be found although its putative location is marked on some of these early maps.

308
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:43,000
High Brazil was first mapped by the Italian-Mayorcan cartographer Angelino De Del Orto in 1325 who described the island as being a strikingly round form.

309
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Over a century later in 1497 Italian explorer John Cabot also reported reaching High Brazil.

310
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:05,000
And in 1674 Captain John Nisbet of Ireland reportedly brought back silver and gold from the island that he claimed to have received from an old mysterious man.

311
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Strangely he and his men also said that High Brazil was inhabited by what they called giant black rabbits.

312
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Other explorers of the time returned from the island with similarly bizarre stories and accounts of beautiful glowing people.

313
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:35,000
High Brazil is imagined in Irish lore to be the place that the Irish gods came from.

314
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:42,000
On the island of High Brazil the gods had a luxurious life. They were able to develop an advanced civilization.

315
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:55,000
In 1684 one of the first Irish historians, Roderick Oflearty, wrote about High Brazil in his book A Choreographical Description of West or Ear Canut.

316
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:04,000
In it he refers to the island as enchanted and writes that it is a land kept hidden by the special ordinance of God.

317
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Like a lot of other mythologies such as Atlantis, High Brazil was thought to be the source of civilization, especially in Ireland and England and other areas such as that.

318
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:28,000
It's thought that High Brazil still exists under the sea and that periodically when the conditions are right it'll surface.

319
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:49,000
According to legend the mysterious land was last seen in 1872 by author T.J. Westrop and his crew who saw the island appear and then vanish.

320
00:41:50,000 --> 00:42:08,000
If High Brazil is an actual land, very possibly it could be that at one time on planet Earth there was a superior technology, a civilization that had progress that far surpassed even our own today.

321
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:23,000
And these people originated from the stars. They are the people that the human race descended from and locations such as High Brazil is this homeland of these creatures.

322
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Is it possible that the mythical island of High Brazil not only exists but is actually a high tech alien base? And if so, might there be others located all over the world?

323
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:54,000
You find so many accounts of beings coming and going from the stars at these locations. You find mysterious disappearances. You find other supernatural events taking place at these islands.

324
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:10,000
And it makes you wonder if they're in fact being used by advanced extraterrestrial races as portals, as gateways, even as stopover places, maybe even refueling stations in a way as places that are known throughout the cosmos.

325
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Might aliens have been visiting these remote relatively uninhabited locations for thousands of years? Using them as secret hideouts, landing spots or energetic refueling stations?

326
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Could there be extraterrestrial bases on hidden islands even now? And when the truth behind these forbidden islands is revealed, will we finally come face to face with our celestial ancestors?
