1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,800 The Aboriginal peoples of Australia are one of the world's very, very oldest cultures. 2 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,720 Our stories are older than the Stonehenge in England. 3 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:19,080 They're 20 or 30,000 years older than the pyramids of Egypt. 4 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:22,520 You look at these wongena figures in the cave art. 5 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,160 These figures look exactly like grey aliens. 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,360 Wow. 7 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,160 We carved them, we sung them, we danced them in stories, we painted them. 8 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,720 So when the visitors left, we didn't forget about them. 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:46,440 Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has credited its origins to gods and other visitors 10 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,440 from the stars. 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,200 What if it were true? 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,800 Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history? 13 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,800 And if so, might the secrets of our past have been entrusted to Australia's wisdom keepers? 14 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:47,160 In 2015, documentary filmmaker Damien Nutt released an archive of over 2,000 UFO images 15 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,200 taken over the skies of Australia in the previous three years. 16 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,200 Oh my god. 17 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,360 It seems to be like illuminating. 18 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,520 It's actually morphing shape and rotating as well. 19 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,080 This is phenomenal. 20 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,520 Australia is certainly a hotspot for UFO sightings. 21 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,200 We've had a phenomenal growth in the reporting of UFO sightings by the general public, especially 22 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,560 since the advent of the internet. 23 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,560 But all evidence shows that UFOs have definitely been visiting Australia for tens of thousands 24 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,560 of years. 25 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,040 We've had records engraved on cave artwork by the Australian Aborigines, which goes back 26 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,560 thousands of years. 27 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,400 Australia is one of the most mysterious continents. 28 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,560 And the Aboriginals have all kinds of ancient stories of sky gods coming down. 29 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,040 These are probably some of the oldest stories of extraterrestrial intervention that we 30 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,240 have on planet Earth. 31 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,920 Australia was something of a last frontier long after America was settled. 32 00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:07,520 Well, it was 1770 that the British explorer, Captain Cook, actually came across Australia. 33 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,400 And it wasn't until 1788 that it was really settled that was the east coast of Australia, 34 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,000 settled by convicts. 35 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,880 That's what the British brought from their prisons. 36 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Today, the area of Sydney that the British first settled is a bustling metropolis. 37 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,400 And Australia has become one of the most popular tourist destinations on Earth. 38 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,760 What's hidden behind this modern facade is nearly two and a half million square miles 39 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:51,440 of undeveloped and sparsely populated land known as the Outback. 40 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:58,120 And while Australia is a relatively new land to the Western world, for the nearly 700,000 41 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:04,960 people that call the continent their ancestral home, it has a history that dates back tens 42 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,120 of thousands of years. 43 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,080 There's something very, very special about Australia. 44 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,080 Here we have a situation where this huge land mass has been pretty much cut off from the 45 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,160 rest of the world for 40,000 years. 46 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,880 We don't really find that in many other places in the world. 47 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,040 But what was happening on this island continent for the tens of thousands of years that had 48 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,920 existed in isolation? 49 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,680 When the first Europeans arrived here, they didn't have much knowledge in regards to the 50 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:47,040 sky world, where our people had much ancient knowledge of the star system and the constellation 51 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,640 of the stars. 52 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,440 Our knowledge and wisdom is so old. 53 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,440 Anthropologists have dated the existence of the Australian Aboriginal people back 60,000 54 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,520 years, making it the most ancient continuous culture in the world. 55 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:14,120 The Aboriginal peoples of Australia are one of the world's very, very oldest cultures. 56 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,200 No other cultures in the world can compare with the Australian cultures. 57 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,840 The half knowledge has been around for a lot longer than really any of our knowledge has 58 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:27,440 been around. 59 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,320 The Aboriginal people have no official written language. 60 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,520 Art, music and oral storytelling are how they pass their histories and sacred knowledge 61 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,320 to future generations. 62 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:48,640 Their past is encoded on various rock walls scattered across the continent. 63 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:55,360 Our oral traditions or stories that are passed down from generation to generation, the wisdom 64 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,400 and knowledge that have been given to us by our God. 65 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,760 They're 10,000 or more years older than the Stonehenge in England. 66 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:14,040 They're 20 or 30,000 years older than the Pyramids of Egypt. 67 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,960 These ancient traditions are all strongly tied to Australia's connection with the stars 68 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,840 and with the beings that are said to have come down from them. 69 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:32,560 As evidence, ancient astronaut theorists point to the caves of the northwest Kimberley region 70 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,160 that contain depictions of visitors called the Wanjina, the sky heroes of one of Australia's 71 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,160 indigenous clans. 72 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:52,600 The Aboriginals have all kinds of ancient stories of Wanjina figures, of great heroes 73 00:06:52,600 --> 00:07:00,480 and sky gods who manipulated the continent, created the rivers and mountains and fought 74 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,160 amongst each other and then they left. 75 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,360 You look at these Wanjina figures in the cave art. 76 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,320 They have big white faces. 77 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,880 They have really no mouth to speak of. 78 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:25,320 They have very large black eyes and there's a field around their heads that's like a space 79 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,480 helmet perhaps. 80 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:35,800 So in many ways these Wanjina figures look exactly like gray aliens. 81 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,680 And you have to wonder then, if the cave art is depicting extraterrestrials. 82 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Could these images really be depicting extraterrestrials that visited Australia in the ancient past? 83 00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,360 And if so, do the indigenous people living in Australia today still have insight into 84 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,200 the meaning behind this ancient rock art? 85 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:12,480 We all have stories of people in crafts coming from the stars, going to the stars and so 86 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,480 on. 87 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,960 In order to keep them passed them down to the next generation, we carved them, we painted 88 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,720 them, we sang them, we danced them in stories to guarantee that they passed down. 89 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,200 So when the visits is left, we didn't forget about them and we never forget about the things 90 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,440 that they passed down to us and the knowledge they passed down. 91 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,560 Australia is one of the few places where we still have living mythologies, where we can 92 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:47,360 talk to the people whose story has been passed down over thousands of generations. 93 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:54,960 And they talk of teachers having descended from the sky and bestowed any and all of knowledge 94 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,840 to mankind. 95 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:03,200 So this to me is an incredible treasure trove for the ancient astronaut theory. 96 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,960 Like the indigenous people of Australia who carry an oral tradition that dates back tens 97 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,720 of thousands of years, really holds secrets of humanity's past that the outside world 98 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,440 has yet to discover. 99 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,840 Perhaps more evidence can be found by examining the depiction of one of their most important 100 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,680 sky gods. 101 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:37,240 They said the fire burnt the top of the mountain and all around it every time he landed. 102 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:49,080 So the landings were always associated with another noise, smoke and fire. 103 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:55,680 Brisbane Water National Park, New South Wales, Australia. 104 00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:01,760 The Bulgondry Preservation Site is one of numerous sacred indigenous locations where 105 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,480 ancient rock art and engravings can be found. 106 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,640 Many are believed to date back thousands of years. 107 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:19,120 In February 2016, researcher and publisher, George Osucalos, traveled to Australia to 108 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,600 meet with Aboriginal elder, Kevin Gavi Duncan to learn about one of the oldest carvings 109 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800 that can be found here. 110 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,240 So what are we looking at here?

182 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:39,600 While visiting the area in 2016, George Yosucalos met with local ancient astronaut theorist Evan Strong 183 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,600 to get a first-hand look at these enigmatic carvings. 184 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,600 Wow! 185 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600 That's incredible. 186 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:56,600 I had no idea. I mean, this looks totally different than on pictures. 187 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,600 So what do these hieroglyphs say? 188 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,600 Well, at least one panel talks about two brothers, two princes, coming here from Egypt. 189 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,600 They were shipwrecked. One of them ended up getting bitten by a snake. 190 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:16,600 He then died. The fear is then he was interred here, and that's why you've got hieroglyphs here, because I'd have. 191 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:25,600 But there's these other walls with a mixture of symbols. This one over here, it's more of a philosophical, 192 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:31,600 astrophysics-style thing with symbols meaning all sorts of esoteric stuff. 193 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Now, have these symbols all been interpreted by Egyptologists? 194 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,600 There have been a few, actually. A few different people have done that. 195 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,600 That was their reaction. 196 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,600 Well, Raymond Johnson was one of the first people to come here and translate. 197 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,600 He actually sent some of these translations off to the Cairo Library, 198 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,600 and Dr Abudio Ghazi ended up saying, yep, you're on the right track. 199 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600 Something called proto-Egyptian. 200 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600 And how old do you reckon these are? 201 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,600 We're thinking, because of the prevalence at least in one panel of proto-Egyptian, 202 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,600 that it's about 4,600 years old. 203 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,600 Wow. Are there any hieroglyphs that stand out to you? 204 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,600 Yeah, definitely. Follow me down here, and I'll show you this other one. 205 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,600 So this one here, we call the UFO glyph, and people have called that since it's been coming here, 206 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,600 because it kind of looks like a UFO. 207 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,600 It definitely has the classic UFO shape. It's got the rays or whatever you call it. 208 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,600 What would you suggest if anyone says, well, this is not a UFO. 209 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,600 It's some other symbol, but certainly not that. 210 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,600 I think someone's suggestion is jewelry, but it's a completely different symbol that's upside down, 211 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,600 and it really doesn't quite fit in. 212 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,600 It's one of those symbols here that doesn't fit into the cannon. 213 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,600 In your opinion, why do you think the Egyptians made it all the way to Australia? 214 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,600 I think they're looking for esoteric wisdom, definitely. 215 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,600 From the Aboriginals? 216 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,600 Yes. 217 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,600 The ancient Egyptians, we have stories and Aboriginal stories about their arrival 218 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,600 and about their visits, long before Europeans had arrived here. 219 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,600 Naturally, we would have shared ceremony with these people, 220 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,600 because they have the same similar beliefs as our people. 221 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,600 Egyptians have that same spiritual connection to the sky world. 222 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Many stories from all over this continent, not just from here, but all over this continent. 223 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,600 Talk about those who came by the sea and came to these continents, 224 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,600 and some of our knowledge and wisdom and technology went back with them. 225 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,600 And if you do some of the research in the last pyramids that they found, 226 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,600 they found boomerangs made from iron bark from here. 227 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:06,600 And they have hieroglyphs of black fillets from the boomerangs to take out the darts and the geese. 228 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Now, the question would be, why would they paint us and carve us on their walls if they didn't come here? 229 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,600 And if that meeting and relationship was not significant, they wouldn't have carved it. 230 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,600 It must have been significant in order to carve. 231 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,600 Aboriginal artifacts found in Egypt? 232 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,600 Hieroglyphs found in Australia? 233 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,600 Might the continent have actually served as a pilgrimage site 234 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,600 for visitors seeking a direct connection to the so-called gods? 235 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,600 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 236 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,600 and suggest further evidence of this otherworldly leg 237 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,600 can be found in a megalithic structure lost to time. 238 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,600 Coming up... 239 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,600 This really puts the Aboriginal culture in a totally different light. 240 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,600 He asked Aboriginal people, where do you people come from? 241 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,600 And our people would always just point to the sky. 242 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,600 Malam Dimbi, New South Wales, 1939. 243 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,600 Frederick Slater, the president of the Australian Archaeology Society, 244 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:32,600 was dispatched to investigate the discovery of a complex Aboriginal arrangement 245 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,600 consisting of 188 standing stones. 246 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,600 Slater dubbed the formation the Stonehenge of Australia 247 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,600 and became convinced that it was one of the oldest temple complexes in the world, 248 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,600 predating those found in Europe and the Middle East. 249 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,600 Frederick Slater found that the site he was investigating 250 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,600 was part of a much larger site 251 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,600 and fitted in very closely with Aboriginal sacred lore, myths and legends. 252 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,600 After a time, Frederick Slater began to posit and suggest 253 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,600 that instead of out of Africa, 254 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,600 that maybe we should re-examine the evolution of man as out of Australia. 255 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:26,600 He took a massive leap and started declaring that in ancient times in Australia, 256 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,600 the Aborigines were more advanced than any culture that he could recount on the planet. 257 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,600 He was declared almost insane by the rest of the academic community. 258 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,600 The landowners were so terrified of the controversy that it implied 259 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,600 that it was pretty much destroyed by bulldozers. 260 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,600 There are many stone circles throughout the British Isles and Europe. 261 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,600 Stonehenge is one of the most well-known. 262 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,600 They all have some relationship to astronomical observatories. 263 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:12,600 This Aboriginal stonehenge would really alter the way we think of the Aboriginals 264 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,600 and the sophistication of their society, 265 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,600 where they had astronomical and archeo-astronomical structures 266 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,600 that helped them monitor the heavens, 267 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,600 much as standing stones in Europe would have done. 268 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,600 Could the so-called Aboriginal stonehenge provide insight 269 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,600 into the other stone arrangements found scattered throughout the world? 270 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,600 If so, might they serve to provide a permanent record 271 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,600 of a significant connection to another world? 272 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Uluru Rock, also known as Ayers Rock, 273 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,600 is located nearly in the centre of the continent, 274 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,600 over 1,200 miles from the nearest major Australian city. 275 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:09,600 This geological anomaly is one of the largest isolated rocks in the world. 276 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,600 It is over two miles long and rises over 1,100 feet. 277 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,600 It is, in fact, the exposed tip of a huge vertical slab of rock 278 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,600 that continues below the surface for three miles. 279 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:35,600 It is a huge sedimentary boulder that's gigantic, 280 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,600 sitting there in the middle of the desert. 281 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,600 And geologists cannot really explain how Ayers Rock came to be. 282 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,600 It's almost as if it was lifted up from somewhere else 283 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,600 and brought to the centre of the continent and then just dumped there. 284 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600 For the indigenous population, 285 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Uluru is one of their most sacred sites and a place of pilgrimage. 286 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,600 They consider it the navel of the earth. 287 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,600 For the Aboriginal cosmologies, a lot of times the landscape itself 288 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,600 is sort of like the Bible and heaven rolled into one. 289 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,600 So in places like Uluru, Ayers Rock, 290 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,600 this rock had great significance because it built this into their cultural memories 291 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:33,600 of when the world was formed by sky spirits coming to earth. 292 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,600 The creation stories at Uluru Rock are primarily associated with the rainbow serpent. 293 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,600 This divine being is said to have come out of the sky at the beginning of time 294 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:54,600 and held in its belly all of creation, including the first human beings. 295 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,600 The rainbow serpent we call Guria, 296 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,600 and the rainbow serpent is related to all Aboriginal nations right across Australia. 297 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,600 And it connects us all as Aboriginal people 298 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,600 because it was regarded as a very sacred symbol of creation. 299 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,600 In Eldur, we're in good contact with, told us a story about Uluru, 300 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,600 which is quite fascinating that we were actually seeded from the spear, 301 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,600 from the Pleiades through space. 302 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,600 And it actually hit the ground. 303 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,600 And where that place was is Uluru. 304 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,600 So Uluru in its creation story with the rainbow serpent 305 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,600 could perhaps even be indicative of an ancient, 306 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,600 astronaut kind of seeding moment in our history. 307 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,600 Ancient astronaut theorists have long proposed 308 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,600 that earth was seeded by alien visitors in the remote past. 309 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,600 Might this be true? 310 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,600 And if so, do the Aboriginal stories reflect this truth? 311 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,600 When the first Europeans arrived here, 312 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,600 Captain Phillip, who was an English sailor, 313 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,600 planted the Union Jack in Sydney. 314 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,600 And he asked Aboriginal people around that time, 315 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600 he said, where do you people come from? 316 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,600 And our people would always just point to the sky. 317 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,600 He couldn't believe that such people who were grounded by Mother Earth 318 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600 say that they come from the sky world. 319 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,600 Might humans actually have been seeded on earth from another planet? 320 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,600 As the Aboriginal elders claim. 321 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,600 And could this truth be encoded in the Australian landscape 322 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,600 preserved for future generations? 323 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Researchers suggest some sacred Aboriginal sites 324 00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,600 continue to serve as extraterrestrial outposts. 325 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,600 Coming up... 326 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,600 They've got tiles of mystery, disappearing people. 327 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,600 Strange noises and strange creature sightings. 328 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,600 Some people had actually travelled back to the morning star. 329 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,600 The Blue Mountains, Australia. 330 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,600 Throughout the walls of Red Hand's Cave 331 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,600 are the stenciled handprints of ancient Aboriginal men, 332 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,600 women and children. 333 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,600 The art stands as a testament to their physical time here on Earth, 334 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,600 hundreds and possibly even thousands of years ago. 335 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,600 According to local elders, 336 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,600 the location served as an initiation site for young warriors. 337 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,600 And it was here that the collective wisdom of the land and the sky 338 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,600 was passed on to future generations by the sky gods. 339 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,600 We'd leave our images on the cave walls, such as our hand prints, 340 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,600 from the time we were children. 341 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,600 And this would be done generation after generation. 342 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,600 The Blue Mountains is a very sacred area, a sacred place, 343 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,600 especially the highest places, 344 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,600 because we were being closer to Bayami, closer to God. 345 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,600 Mount Yango, the original point of descent 346 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,600 of the Aboriginal creator god Bayami, 347 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,600 is located here within the Blue Mountain Range. 348 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,600 And curiously, the area is also well known today 349 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,600 for the mysterious disappearances of numerous hikers, 350 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,600 campers and soldiers, 351 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,600 in addition to countless UFO sightings. 352 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,600 Australia's Blue Mountains have become internationally known 353 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,600 as a hotspot for UFO sightings and other mysteries. 354 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,600 There is certainly a lot of mystery in the Blue Mountains. 355 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,600 Campers, bushwalkers, explorers, all have got tales of mystery, 356 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,600 disappearing people, strange tunnels, 357 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,600 strange noises, and strange creature sightings. 358 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,600 The UFO sightings of the Blue Mountains 359 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,600 have triggered many magazine articles, radio shows and books. 360 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600 A lot of people have come forward over the last few decades 361 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,600 to document and put onto the record their own experiences. 362 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,600 We have a great tradition of some hundreds of sightings. 363 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,600 I myself have gathered about 600, 800 sightings of UFOs, 364 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,600 and it's growing all the time in my own lifetime. 365 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,600 We have stories of UFOs amongst early pioneers 366 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,600 that was dating back to 1850, they're about. 367 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,600 There's a story from about the 1890s of a farmer 368 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,600 who was plowing his field and a craft. 369 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,600 A silver craft came over the cliffs. 370 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,600 He stood there and watched it while it disappeared. 371 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,600 It came back after dark and landed there. 372 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,600 Amazing, but he grabbed his rifle and went out to see what was going on, 373 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,600 and the craft took off again. 374 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,600 I would suggest that the Blue Mountains had served as a contact point 375 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,600 for the T's from an advanced civilisation in space. 376 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:07,600 What is interesting to note is that there are several umbilical cords on the planet. 377 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:14,600 This particular location is located exactly at negative 33 latitude, 378 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:20,600 which means it is aligned specifically with the centre of the galaxy. 379 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Now having said that, there's an interesting parallel 380 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,600 with the 33 latitude on planet Earth, 381 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:34,600 and that particular point is considered to be continuously being visited 382 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,600 from different parts of the planetary system, 383 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,600 from different parts of the galaxy, 384 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,600 and even from beyond this galaxy, from way out in the universe. 385 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,600 Wow. 386 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,600 Did you see that, Bayer? 387 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,600 There is a lot of UFO activity. 388 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,600 So here we have something that would be like a stargate, 389 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,600 some portal to another dimension, 390 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,600 and jumping to hyperspace perhaps. 391 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,600 And for some reason, Australia was the place where they put 392 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,600 this hyperspace portal that used by extraterrestrials. 393 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:27,600 Could the blue mountains of Australia function as an extraterrestrial gateway? 394 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,600 Might this explain the strange phenomena reported in and around the area? 395 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:41,600 But if so, is there some connection to the local Aboriginal tribe? 396 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,600 There is stories that elders would say that some people had actually travelled 397 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,600 back to the morning star and have come back again. 398 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,600 That's not so much of an abduction, 399 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,600 but they have basically went, have gone back there and come back. 400 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,600 The Australian average needs have a connection and a relationship 401 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,600 with what we call extraterrestrials and UFOs, 402 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,600 which goes back tens of thousands of years. 403 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,600 They're rather non-plussed by their existence. 404 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:25,600 They have developed an awareness of individual types of visitors 405 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,600 from what we would call outer space. 406 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,600 This is not new. This has happened thousands of times before. 407 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,600 How do we know that? 408 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,600 From all of the remnants that are left behind by the ancients. 409 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,600 Only a fool could say, oh no, we're the only ones here. 410 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,600 And this vast amount of space... 411 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,600 Might the Indigenous Australians really have an ongoing relationship 412 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,600 with other worldly beings? 413 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,600 Beings who have been visiting the continent for thousands of years. 414 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,600 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further evidence of extraterrestrial contact 415 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:16,600 can be found by examining the Aboriginal rituals known as dreaming. 416 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:29,600 As the bustling streets of Sydney fill with workers and tourists over 500 miles away, 417 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:35,600 Aboriginal elders known as men of learning prepare for a dreaming ceremony. 418 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,600 Dreaming is sacred to the culture 419 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:46,600 and represents a complex spiritual concept that transcends linear time. 420 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,600 In the beginning, there was great spirit. 421 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:01,600 From the stars they came and they came down to this place. 422 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,600 The elders, the spiritual leaders of the Aboriginal peoples 423 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,600 will not only chant but use hypnotic techniques like the didgeridoo 424 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,600 which makes this humming sound. 425 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,600 It will take you into an altered state. 426 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,600 It takes them into connection with the dream time, 427 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:40,600 the unseen worlds to commune with the ancestors, the sky gods. 428 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:49,600 The dream time is this vast storehouse of accumulated wisdom and images and stories. 429 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,600 And it's like other traditions that believe there is a place 430 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,600 that everything that has happened is recorded and can be reached 431 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,600 by the elders through their altered states. 432 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,600 There's probably no more fundamental concept in Aboriginal cosmology 433 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,600 than the concept of the dreaming. 434 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,600 Sometimes this is referred to as the dream time. 435 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,600 And this is the idea of the asthmatic beginnings of the world. 436 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,600 But it's important in that it's a sort of transcendent time. 437 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,600 What I mean by that is in their view it's never gone away. 438 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,600 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that in many ways 439 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,600 the concept of dream time mirrors the ancient Hindu idea of the Akashic record. 440 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,600 A collection of past, present and future knowledge 441 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:50,600 believed to be encoded in a non-physical existence known as the astral plane. 442 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,600 The Akashic records are sort of like a giant hologram, 443 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,600 a holographic world that we can step into to gain wisdom, access knowledge, 444 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,600 perhaps even to connect with extraterrestrial beings. 445 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,600 It's pretty remarkable that the Aborigines would have a concept, 446 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,600 the dream time that matches not only the Akashic records 447 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,600 but also the idea of the holographic paradigm. 448 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:24,600 In 1997, theoretical physicists proposed a revolutionary idea 449 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,600 called the holographic paradigm. 450 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,600 Curiously, this theory mirrors the ancient concept 451 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,600 shared by the indigenous Australians and also the Hindu tradition. 452 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,600 The holographic universe theory suggests that the world that we see 453 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,600 is a mere projection from a 2D space. 454 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:53,600 What we perceive as physical objects are actually projected fragments of data. 455 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:01,600 There is a fascinating idea that perhaps the universe is not 3-dimensional, 456 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:06,600 that it's a projection from a 2-dimensional slide of some kind, 457 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:12,600 that it's a hologram, something like the matrix in the movie 458 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,600 and that we're walking around inside of what seems like 3D, 459 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,600 but in fact is an illusion. 460 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,600 While this incredible theory may seem far-fetched, 461 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,600 in 2013, researchers at Ibaraki University in Japan 462 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,600 found that the theoretical model is mathematically feasible 463 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,600 and might actually be correct. 464 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,600 We have this parallel between the Aboriginal dream time, 465 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,600 the Hindu Akashic record and the holographic universe theory, 466 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:54,600 but would appear to be some kind of extraterrestrial technology 467 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,600 that's putting all the information of the universe into one spot. 468 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,600 Is it possible that the Aboriginal elders are tapping into 469 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,600 another worldly plane when they perform their ceremonies, 470 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:16,600 a plane that our greatest scientific minds don't yet fully understand? 471 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,600 If so, does this provide evidence of a maintained connection 472 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,600 between this indigenous culture and advanced extraterrestrial beings? 473 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,600 We have to remind ourselves that the Aboriginals 474 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,600 are our last direct connection to our extraterrestrial past. 475 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:48,600 It would behoove us to listen because one thing is clear to me today. 476 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,600 Those stories are very clear in their message 477 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,600 that we are not alone in the universe. 478 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,600 We are the extraterrestrials. 479 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,600 Our body is made up of this Earth, 480 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,600 but our spirit comes from the morning star. 481 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,600 We come from another place, from another world. 482 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,600 We were brought here a long time ago to populate this place 483 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,600 everyone now calls Earth. 484 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,600 Might the Aboriginal wisdom keepers serve as a direct link 485 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,600 to our extraterrestrial creators? 486 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,600 And could there be messages left behind for mankind 487 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,600 encoded in their sacred traditions? 488 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:39,600 As we stand at the threshold of a new level of science and understanding, 489 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:45,600 perhaps we will discover that the stories of the world's oldest living culture 490 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,600 not only reveal our true origins, 491 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,600 but also our destiny.
