1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
He is the man who harnessed lightning.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
He really is the quintessential wizard.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
He envisioned new technologies far before their time.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
These images would burst into his mind.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
He also claimed to have contact with other worldly beings.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
You have to wonder if extraterrestrials themselves weren't feeding him information.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Nikola Tesla is considered one of the most innovative and mysterious men who ever lived.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
But was he simply a mad genius?

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Or might his brilliance have had extraterrestrial origins?

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
He was actually being communicated with by extraterrestrials and publicly proclaimed this.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
What if it were true?

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And if so, is there a connection to the genius of Nikola Tesla?

15
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
New York City

16
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
January 7th, 1943

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Famed inventor Nikola Tesla dies of a heart attack on the 33rd floor of the hotel building.

18
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
The building was built in the year of Nikola Tesla.

19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,000
The inventor Nikola Tesla dies of a heart attack on the 33rd floor of the hotel New Yorker.

20
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Within hours of his body being discovered, his nephew arrives at room 3327 and discovers Tesla's remains,

21
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
as well as his technical papers and notebooks have already been removed.

22
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speculation spreads that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had seized the items

23
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
and quickly designated them top secret.

24
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Nikola Tesla was completely paranoid about someone trying to kill him,

25
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,000
and as soon as he died, U.S. government agents swooped in and confiscated all of his scientific papers.

26
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
In a very short time, everything that he had been guarding with his life was gone.

27
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,000
The official story is that nothing of any great significance was found with just a lot of scientific papers and documents.

28
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
However, there have been a lot of rumors over the years that the material that was recovered was profoundly significant

29
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,000
in terms of a lot of highly advanced scientific concepts.

30
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Just who was this mysterious figure known as Tesla?

31
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:15,000
And why would his notebooks elicit so much interest from the United States government?

32
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
The life of Nikola Tesla was a dramatic one from the very beginning.

33
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:33,000
He was born at the stroke of midnight on July 10th, 1856, during a violent lightning storm in what is now Croatia.

34
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,000
It was during an electrical storm, and the midwife saw this as a bad omen, but there was a flash of lightning.

35
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
And Tesla's mother said, no, this will be a child of light.

36
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
At an early age, Nikola Tesla showed a superior mind.

37
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,000
He was already inventing things. He invented toys that used insects to power them.

38
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:07,000
But he was fascinated by thunderstorms, and when he would see the lightning, he became fascinated with electricity.

39
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And he was determined that he was going to harness the power of the Earth and the universe for the benefit of mankind.

40
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:28,000
In 1881, after eight years studying physics, math and engineering at universities in Gross Austria and Prague,

41
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Tesla became an electrical engineer for a telephone company in Budapest.

42
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Three years later, the 28-year-old moved to the United States and took a job in New York City, working for Thomas Edison.

43
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:54,000
But very quickly, the two would become rivals in what became known as the War of the Currents.

44
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:02,000
In a sense, you have dueling wizards. Edison was performing with direct current. Tesla came along with alternating current.

45
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Competing to win the right to harness Niagara Falls, that was the big prize.

46
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:15,000
If you harness Niagara Falls, you would control all the power for the entire northeast.

47
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:25,000
In Edison's direct current distribution system, the steady stream of electricity would lose potency as it traveled down the line.

48
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:34,000
This required power plants every half mile and could only supply enough power to light bulbs.

49
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Tesla designed a far more sophisticated system utilizing alternating current, which could easily be manipulated along the way,

50
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
allowing for not only light bulbs to be powered, but also other electric devices.

51
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Using Niagara Falls as a hydroelectric power source, Tesla's system could illuminate the entire northeast.

52
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:05,000
It'd be like comparing a horse and buggy to a jet plane. Tesla had the jet plane. Edison had the horse and buggy.

53
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
There is no comparison at all. Tesla had a quantum leap ahead.

54
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Edison criticized Tesla's model as highly dangerous in an effort to ensure that his system won out.

55
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,000
He even went so far as holding public demonstrations using alternating current to electrocute cats and dogs.

56
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And even a rogue elephant.

57
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:46,000
But Nikola Tesla's superior AC power system ultimately prevailed, and today it still remains the foundation of the world's power grid.

58
00:06:46,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Tesla allowed the world to be electrified, and not only that, he brought electricity from being kind of a useful thing to being a universal thing that could be used all throughout society.

59
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Nikola Tesla is one of the most amazing geniuses mankind has ever known. His ideas went far and beyond what was accepted at the time.

60
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000
If it hadn't been for Tesla, we would be living in very different times.

61
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:30,000
But Nikola Tesla not only efficiently electrified the world, his legacy includes groundbreaking work on electric railroads,

62
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:46,000
fluorescent and neon lights, wireless radio communications, X-ray, remote control, turbine engines,

63
00:07:46,000 --> 00:08:01,000
speedometers, helicopters, and even torpedoes. By the time of his death, Tesla held nearly 700 worldwide patents.

64
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Nikola Tesla was one of the world's greatest inventors. Tesla was like Leonardo da Vinci. He had the mind of a futurist, and he was able to do incredible things.

65
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:26,000
During Nikola Tesla's time, the Industrial Revolution was firmly taking hold. Factories using steam and coal power replaced manual labor.

66
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Hundreds of thousands of miles of railway and roads were built, dramatically changing the landscape of society.

67
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:41,000
But this extraordinary innovation came at a price, a complete disregard for the environment.

68
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Nikola Tesla said that there was a difference between progress and technology. Progress benefits mankind. Technology does not necessarily do that.

69
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
If you have a technology that is polluting the planets, that's not progress.

70
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
But just how is it that Nikola Tesla was so far ahead of his time?

71
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:16,000
For decades, the forward-thinking inventor, a man shrouded in mystery, has fascinated scholars and researchers.

72
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Tesla came from a very strange area. Actually, it wasn't too far from Transylvania. He was tall and thin. He spoke 11 or 12 different languages.

73
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And he does these fantastic inventions and fantastic performances. So he had this mystique about him.

74
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Nikola Tesla is born at a time which coincidentally coincides with an ancient Zoharic prophecy that speaks about the opening of the gates of wisdom upon the Earth.

75
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And who's born at this time? Nikola Tesla. Albert Einstein. This is the beginning of so many things.

76
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:16,000
What could there really be something more to the prophecies, rumors and wild speculations surrounding Nikola Tesla? Something perhaps even otherworldly.

77
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Throughout history, there have been various prophets and scientists that have really affected the human evolution.

78
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Like Einstein, Galileo, Copernicus. And Tesla is definitely one of these type of people.

79
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,000
We have to wonder if these people aren't somehow involved in some larger plan of influence on humanity as a whole.

80
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Some researchers into Tesla think that he was some kind of special human receiver.

81
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And if that's the case, then we have someone who the ETs were helping to move along and develop the amazing inventions that light the world today.

82
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Is it possible that Tesla knew he was on a mission? Was he attempting to up level our technology to the point at which we would be capable of having all of the abilities of those who in ancient times were called the gods?

83
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that Nikola Tesla was being influenced by extraterrestrials?

84
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Extra-terrestrials on a mission to advance mankind?

85
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Perhaps answers can be found by further examining the inspiration behind one of Tesla's greatest achievements.

86
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Cambridge, Massachusetts.

87
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,000
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is home to some of the world's greatest minds.

88
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:01,000
MIT researchers are on the forefront of innovation, including the development of wireless transmission of power.

89
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Efficient wireless transmission of electricity has eluded scientists for years.

90
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Radio waves, microwaves, and even laser beam transmission of power have fallen short.

91
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:25,000
But in 2007, MIT researchers were able to safely transmit power wirelessly seven feet across a room.

92
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
A feat heralded as a first step to cutting the power cord.

93
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Incredibly, a world in which all electrical devices would be automatically powered at all times, requiring no charging or wires, was envisioned more than a century earlier.

94
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
By inventor Nikola Tesla.

95
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
And by some accounts, he was close to actually achieving that goal.

96
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:05,000
The ideas of Tesla for wireless power have only been briefly investigated by various scientists.

97
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And the tests that were done by Tesla in 1899 to 1900 Colorado Springs verified the fact that the use of wireless was actually possible.

98
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Tesla went out to Colorado Springs to see if he could send electricity miles, which is a tremendous achievement.

99
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000
But he had a huge tower and there was 200 feet to the top.

100
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000
His assistant was located at the laboratory and Tesla said, when I give you the signal, I want you to throw the switch and fire up the wireless system.

101
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And Tesla probably walked four miles away.

102
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Tesla inserted light bulbs into the earth to see if his tower was in fact creating a wireless circuit with the ground.

103
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
If so, the bulbs would light up.

104
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
These light bulbs were being lit.

105
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000
So he was able to establish that he could transmit electrical power over great distances.

106
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
But he did keep it a secret.

107
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
He even kept the mechanics a secret from his assistant who didn't totally know all the details of what he was doing.

108
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Shoram, New York, 1901.

109
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Tesla convinces banker JP Morgan to give him $150,000 for the construction of a radio station.

110
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:35,000
But instead, he uses the money to build a giant wireless transmitter he calls Wardenclyffe Tower.

111
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Wardenclyffe was 187 feet to the top, but it also went 120 feet down into the ground.

112
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Tesla had envisioned receiving stations which would look just like the Wardenclyffe Tower at different nodal points around the earth.

113
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
So he would jump energy by means of wireless from station to station.

114
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,000
He even thought that he could eventually use the same system to jump power to different planets.

115
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:14,000
But Tesla's dream of creating a highly efficient broadcast of wireless electricity was cut short when in 1904,

116
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:22,000
its funder JP Morgan discovered Tesla's true intentions to provide free power to everyone on the planet.

117
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:29,000
With lack of additional funding, by 1908 the project was completely abandoned.

118
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,000
And in 1917, the tower was demolished.

119
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,000
No company, no corporation wants to give away its technology freely.

120
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
So Tesla was shut down so that the world wouldn't have free energy.

121
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
But just how was Tesla able to transmit electricity wirelessly for several miles

122
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,000
when modern scientists can only manage seven feet?

123
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Tesla credited his many inventions to the ability to realize them entirely in his mind.

124
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:19,000
He also described experiencing intense flashes of light, which were followed by moments of intense creativity and clarity.

125
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,000
He would see an invention appear before his eyes in almost holographic detail.

126
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:33,000
He said that he could rotate these visions, take them apart piece by piece,

127
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:42,000
and he knew exactly how he was going to build these inventions based on his visionary experiences.

128
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000
One of his greatest creations is the rotating magnetic field, and that came in a flash of intuition.

129
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,000
He felt that we were receivers, that all impulses came from the outside and that we worked on these impulses.

130
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
So he doesn't believe that they come from dreams or inner visions.

131
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
He really felt that we were in a sense self-propelled robots.

132
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe there may be another explanation for Tesla's uncanny abilities and mysterious visions.

133
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:25,000
They suggest these spontaneous episodes are proof that Tesla was receiving information from an other worldly source.

134
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
These images would literally burst into his mind.

135
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Somehow, somewhere, some connection was made, and it's the same way that biblical prophets received their prophecy.

136
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Nikola Tesla was clearly in touch with something.

137
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:52,000
You have to wonder if extraterrestrials themselves weren't feeding him images of inventions that only he could understand.

138
00:17:52,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Nikola Tesla felt there was a knowledge base located somewhere in the universe that all of humanity could tap into

139
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
if they just knew how to properly tune their mind to this knowledge base.

140
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Is it possible Nikola Tesla was actually being fed images to a system in furthering mankind?

141
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:31,000
And if so, could Tesla have tapped into an ancient source of knowledge, perhaps even rediscovering technology that may have been used before?

142
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:40,000
We have these stories of towers that might have relayed energy, like the obelisks that we can find all around the world,

143
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
that they at some point were all connected and that they were feeding off the Earth's magnetic grid.

144
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:57,000
It's been discovered in ancient Egyptian temples and tombs, carvings that look suspiciously like modern-day light bulbs and Tesla coils.

145
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Was there a certain technology and energy system of ancient times that we still have remnants of today?

146
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Giant pyramids, obelisks, huge standing stones and towers?

147
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Perhaps they were all part of some extraterrestrial huge energy system.

148
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Was Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower meant to connect to an ancient energy grid?

149
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Powered not only by the Earth, but eventually by other planets as well.

150
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:43,000
And if so, is it possible Nikola Tesla was communicating with advanced celestial beings that visited Earth thousands of years ago?

151
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Perhaps further clues can be found with the mysterious radio transmissions Tesla claimed he received in 1899 from outer space.

152
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Colorado Springs, July 1899.

153
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:16,000
While testing a magnifying transmitter built to track storms, Nikola Tesla claims he received some sort of transmission from an unknown source.

154
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:26,000
One night he was tracking thunderstorms 600 miles away, but all of a sudden he heard these beeps.

155
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:37,000
And it was three beats in sequence, and so it was mathematical and it didn't make any sense to him.

156
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000
And the more he thought about it, he thought that they came from outer space, perhaps from the Martians.

157
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Mars orbit brings it close to the Earth periodically about once every 1.8 years.

158
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:01,000
And at one of those close encounters, he believed he was picking up signals from Mars.

159
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:13,000
He most likely had a radio receiver that was sensitive enough to receive radio waves, as we now know, come from galaxies and lots of different extra-terrestrial sources.

160
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
So he interpreted them as signals from ETs.

161
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
But perhaps he had an open channel that we really still don't understand today.

162
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Tesla believed it's absurd to think with the only intelligent beings in the universe if that's the case, where are they in the intelligence hierarchy,

163
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000
and why wouldn't they want to communicate with an intelligent force on the Earth?

164
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Tesla reported this otherworldly communication and proclaimed his belief in extra-terrestrials in February of 1901.

165
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
In an article for Collier's Weekly titled, Talking with the Planets.

166
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Tesla became obsessed with trying to receive further radio communications from other planets.

167
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Based on these transmissions that Tesla was receiving, he developed the theory that this extra-terrestrial presence had been on Earth for a millennia.

168
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:20,000
That these extra-terrestrials had been controlling mankind from the very beginning.

169
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
How far did these communications go?

170
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Did it lead to the point where he was actually able to receive useful information that was helping him build his inventions?

171
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Many believe that this is what happened, and that Tesla had direct contact through the things he'd invented with extra-terrestrial intelligence.

172
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:49,000
But the shocking revelation was shunned by Tesla's scientific peers, and led many to deem him a mad scientist.

173
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
So you have Nikolai Tesla electrifying the world, literally.

174
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Then about the time that he had a falling out with J.P. Morgan, a very powerful man.

175
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,000
He'd also had a legendary falling out with Edison, another legendary powerful man.

176
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Then it came out that he was trying to perhaps signal the planet Mars, and his enemies exploited this, I think, to try and discredit him.

177
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:28,000
In the early 1900s, it was rumored that Tesla was being considered to receive the Nobel Prize, but mysteriously, he never did.

178
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Even today, scientists don't take him into account the way they should.

179
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Tesla talked about atoms working like solar systems, and that light could work as a wave and a particle.

180
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Einstein got a Nobel Prize for saying light worked like a particle, and Bohr and Rutherford got a Nobel Prize for saying that atoms were like little solar systems.

181
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,000
So why is he removed from the history of quantum physics when he really belongs at the heart of it?

182
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,000
So I think he's been unfairly treated by the physicists, and part of the reason is his attachment to extraterrestrials.

183
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Was Nikolai Tesla simply letting his imagination get the better of him?

184
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Or is it possible he really was in contact with extraterrestrial beings?

185
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Belgrade, Serbia.

186
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Housing more than 160,000 documents.

187
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:42,000
The Nikolai Tesla Museum offers rare insight into some of Tesla's future plans, including what some believe to be drawings of spaceships.

188
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:53,000
According to historians, Tesla began work on his flying machine in 1910, focusing on the use of field propulsion or anti-gravity.

189
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:01,000
It is believed Tesla had discovered that high amounts of electricity could actually create lift in an object.

190
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Throughout the 1920s and 30s, Tesla continually talked about anti-gravity ships that could derive power from his Wardenclyffe towers that were going to be broadcasting power.

191
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
He claimed that these ships did not have wings or fuel, they were completely electric.

192
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000
But were Tesla's designs truly the first of their kind?

193
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Or is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that similar vehicles had already visited the planet in the remote past?

194
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:50,000
In the ancient Indian epics, the Vedas, we find references of Vimanas, those flying chariots that were used by the gods in order to travel from point A to point B.

195
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Some of these Vimanas were able to alter direction at the drop of a hat without any effort.

196
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:05,000
So now reading this from a modern day perspective would suggest that some type of anti-gravity device was used.

197
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
You could link this from the ancient to the modern world with the modern UFO phenomenon.

198
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:19,000
And so the idea that Tesla might have worked on an anti-gravity device is very plausible to me.

199
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Are the depictions of flying machines in ancient Hindu texts like the Mahabharata really prove that Tesla had received other worldly knowledge in order to design anti-gravity spaceships?

200
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:46,000
And if the so-called mad scientist actually did make contact with extraterrestrials, is it possible he continued to carry out their wishes?

201
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
In secret.

202
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000
It's namesake to the world stage. Tesla.

203
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:35,000
It's interesting to think in 1931 Tesla told reporters that he had converted a Pierce Arrow car into a completely electric car.

204
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Tesla showed them the car. He drove it around. It went as fast as 90 miles per hour.

205
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:52,000
When you look at it, many of the inventions that Tesla talked about and even patented were eventually developed.

206
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:59,000
The list of technologies that can be traced back to the drawing board of Nikola Tesla is endless.

207
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Modern humanoid robotics. Solar and wind power.

208
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Weather manipulation. Drones. And even planetary exploration vehicles.

209
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Getting as little as just two hours of sleep per day, the inventor's sole purpose on Earth appeared to be geared toward one end.

210
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Advancing technology for the future of the human race.

211
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,000
He always had his eye on the future. And further, he was trying to shape the future through his inventions.

212
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Mr. Tesla was not unique in this. Many of the founders' leaders of religion also were compelled by inner experiences which pushed them to materialize these things in the world.

213
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:59,000
So in a religious context, we would say that a religious leader is in touch with something divine.

214
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:20,000
In a scientific context, we wouldn't necessarily use the word divine, but yet somehow somewhere people are being contacted, receiving communications, which are leading to the clear introduction of new things in humanity.

215
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Tesla seemed to have this drive that put everything else by the wayside. When he was working on an invention, food, sleep, relationships, human interaction, none of that mattered.

216
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:43,000
It's almost as if he was on some type of a mission, a mission possibly with a greater plan under the influence of extraterrestrials.

217
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Was Nikola Tesla really inspired to invent by an extraterrestrial source?

218
00:29:49,000 --> 00:30:04,000
As some ancient astronaut theorists suggest. And if so, might further clues be found in what some believe to be the rantings of a madman.

219
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:19,000
By the time Nikola Tesla moved into his final home, the Hotel New Yorker, in January 1934, he had become better known for his eccentricities than his inventions.

220
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:30,000
He reportedly was an extreme germaphobe, preferred to work in almost complete darkness, and was also obsessed with the number three.

221
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Tesla was definitely interested in numerology, and he was very superstitious. He had to circle a building three times before he entered.

222
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:48,000
He had calculated nodal points around the planet, and they probably linked to the numbers three, six, and nine. And he said that the numbers were very important.

223
00:30:48,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Nikola Tesla was quoted as saying, if you knew the magnificence of the three, six, and nine, you would have a key to the universe.

224
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:12,000
If we go to the great pyramid of Giza, not only are there the three larger pyramids at Giza, all side by side, mirroring the positions of the stars in Orion's belt,

225
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:23,000
but we also see a group of three smaller pyramids immediately away from the three larger pyramids, three and three.

226
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Similarly, we find lots of evidence that nature uses threefold and sixfold symmetry, including the hexagonal tile shape of the common honeycomb.

227
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:46,000
These shapes are in nature, and the ancients emulated these shapes in the building of their sacred architecture.

228
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:57,000
So Tesla's quote is neatly mirrored in the actual archaeological evidence that we find in many ancient architectural sites around the world.

229
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Could the numbers three, six, and nine really offer clues to the inner workings of the universe?

230
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:18,000
If so, is it possible that Tesla uncovered this profound secret and used this knowledge to push the boundaries of science and technology?

231
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining Tesla's most controversial invention.

232
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
New York City, July 1934

233
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:42,000
On his 78th birthday, Nikola Tesla makes headlines on the front page of the New York Times for his alleged death beam.

234
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:54,000
According to the article, the weapon could generate enough energy to bring down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes as far as 250 miles away.

235
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Tesla apparently discovered that he could direct a stream of plasma plus solid particles for long distances through the air and kind of direct a lightning bolt, and he called this a death rave.

236
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Tesla wanted to invent a machine that would knock out enemy aircraft in the air.

237
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:25,000
You would point it to the skies, turn it on, and all of a sudden those planes would just fall like that.

238
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Tesla felt that if every country had a particle beam weapon, then no country would ever be invaded because planes would be shot down and ships would be sunk.

239
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:49,000
So he was trying to sell this particle beam weapon to the US government during World War II, and I think Franklin Roosevelt was basically looking at two possibilities.

240
00:33:49,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Einstein was discussing the possibility of an atom bomb. Tesla was discussing the possibility of a particle beam weapon, and it turned out the atom bomb was able to be invented, and that's the way they went.

241
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Although the death ray announcement failed to ignite interest by the US War Department, some say other innovative work by Tesla did catch their attention.

242
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Earlier in his career, while conducting research with one of his transformer coils, Nikola Tesla had a near-death experience when he came in contact with a resonating electromagnetic charge of 3.5 million volts.

243
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Tesla was working with 60-foot lightning bolts, and he made a mistake, and he almost got electrocuted, and he couldn't get out, and he had to get one of his workers to stop the lightning from happening, and he barely escaped with his life, and because of the shock that he had, he had a revelation.

244
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Tesla said that he entered a state of timelessness, and he could see the past and the future and the present all at one in this mystic vision, but he was paralyzed and he couldn't do anything about it.

245
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Tesla was being essentially electrocuted, and right then his assistant cut the power to him.

246
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:26,000
But what Tesla said it had done was moved him through time and space.

247
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:36,000
But is it really possible Tesla had found a way to break through the space-time continuum?

248
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer might be found by looking at what has become known as the Philadelphia Experiment.

249
00:35:47,000 --> 00:36:04,000
According to reports, right before Tesla's death, he was working with Albert Einstein and the United States Navy at the Philadelphia Naval Yard to create an electromagnetically charged invisibility cloak for the USS Eldridge.

250
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:20,000
They were attempting to do a stealth technology, and apparently they mounted a bunch of Tesla coils to make a bunch of plasma around a ship, and this is well known to help hide things from radar.

251
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:37,000
But something very unexpected happened. The ship didn't just disappear from radar, it disappeared completely, and it reappeared with some of the crew actually embedded in the metal of the ship.

252
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Although mainstream scientists believe the so-called Philadelphia Experiment is a hoax, some insist the account is authentic.

253
00:36:51,000 --> 00:37:06,000
We have leaked testimony from classified levels of secrecy in the US government. The Philadelphia Experiment was real, that the soldiers on that ship got disoriented, and they ended up walking into the hull.

254
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:13,000
And when the ship then rematerialized in our reality, their bodies melded with the metal in the hull.

255
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Had Tesla really discovered a way to travel through time and space?

256
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:36,000
If so, might the secrets behind this technology, along with the blueprints for Tesla's death beam, have been included in the scientific documents that the FBI allegedly confiscated upon his death?

257
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe evidence of this might be found with the modern world's most sophisticated new weaponry.

258
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,000
The Singapore Air Show, February 2014.

259
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:09,000
An Israeli arms company known as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems reveals details of a laser defense system, capable of shooting missiles from the sky with a pulse of energy.

260
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
The futuristic military hardware is called Iron Beam.

261
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:30,000
The concept of Iron Beam is that it's essentially a high energy laser that is designed to rapidly heat up the target that it's aimed at.

262
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:41,000
We're talking about aircraft, drones, missiles. Anything that could launch an attack on a city could be literally destroyed in the sky by iron beam.

263
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,000
This sounds very much like Tesla's death ray.

264
00:38:46,000 --> 00:39:01,000
This is exactly the kind of technology that Tesla was talking about in the 1920s and 30s, of using these beam weapons to shoot down missiles and projectiles.

265
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:10,000
The War Department sided with Einstein and Oppenheimer's atomic bomb, not with Tesla.

266
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:23,000
But now what we're seeing is that Israel is developing this Iron Beam technology, because they realized that atomic weapons were far too destructive.

267
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Is it possible that Tesla developed a time viewing or time travel technology, and that he became aware of these developments?

268
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Tesla was once quoted as saying, the present is theirs, but the future for which I have really worked is mine.

269
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Did Tesla in fact see into the future?

270
00:39:49,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Might Iron Beam be proof that plans for the death ray not only existed, but also may have even been confiscated and carried out by the United States government?

271
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:21,000
There are those who believe that Nikola Tesla was not only in contact with extraterrestrials, but was sent here to Earth by them to fulfill a mission and usher in a new age for mankind.

272
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:31,000
One of the big questions is, who is Tesla? Is he in a sense an avatar, an enlightened being that comes to the Earth to help humans?

273
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:44,000
No one really knows exactly what's going on, but I think all great artists and Tesla saw himself as an artist feel that they're instruments of a higher purpose, and Tesla certainly felt that he was working along those lines.

274
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:57,000
There is an agenda for humanity. There is a plan. And in every generation, whatever power it is that's behind the plan, sends to Earth certain specific souls.

275
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Who are by birth more inclined and able to be receptors to the higher knowledge?

276
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:22,000
You have to wonder if Tesla was transplanted to Earth by extraterrestrials in order to envision and invent all of these amazing devices.

277
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:33,000
If extraterrestrials put Tesla in place for a specific purpose, did they accomplish what they hoped to achieve? The answer may be no.

278
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Because if Tesla's technologies had been openly acknowledged here on Earth, we could have dreamed the deserts, we could be desalinating ocean water with tabletop energy levels,

279
00:41:45,000 --> 00:42:00,000
we could have a totally new and different world in which we don't have to pay for energy, which we have anti-gravity craft, which we have teleportation technology, and in which we truly have become a golden age here on Earth.

280
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
That has not happened.

281
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Is it possible that Nikola Tesla really was influenced by otherworldly beings?

282
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Might he have been inspired to carry out an extraterrestrial experiment, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
