1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Mysterious objects are arriving from space.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Not only was it interstellar, but it was exotic.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
It's a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The meteorite weighs 15 tons, and there was no crater.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Where did it come from?

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Sacred stones sent by the gods.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Was this black stone supposed to interact with humans on Earth?

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Perhaps it's through these meteorites that we're going to learn

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
about our cosmic origins and more about these extraterrestrial beings.

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Are meteorites simply falling rocks?

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Or could they be examples of alien technology?

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And if so, why were they sent here?

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
This is the kind of meteorite that has everything in it to start life.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:13,620
turned into plastic processes like Lore free

15
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:17,620
and the largest crater in North America,

16
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:20,620
formed by an enormous meteor that felt worth

17
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:23,620
an estimated 50,000 years ago.

18
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:26,600
The first ever

19
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,620
to be discovered in the North American Ocean

20
00:01:29,620 --> 00:01:33,620
was the first ever to be discovered.

21
00:01:33,620 --> 00:01:37,620
The first ever to be discovered was the first ever to be discovered.

22
00:01:37,620 --> 00:01:41,620
The first ever to be discovered was the first ever to be discovered.

23
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:44,620
It was the first ever to be discovered 30,000 years ago.

24
00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:49,620
The 도ônt inspector measures some 3,900 feet in diameter

25
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:52,620
and is approximately 560 feet deep.

26
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:54,620
Each year

27
00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:58,620
literally thousands of asteroids make their way to our planet

28
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:01,620
through the vast regions of space.

29
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:04,620
Most are burned up while entering our atmosphere.

30
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:08,620
While those that make it through are known as meteors.

31
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:13,420
And while most of these are timing or fall largely unnoticed into the oceans,

32
00:02:13,420 --> 00:02:18,620
there are a handful that succeed in ending their journey on dry land.

33
00:02:18,620 --> 00:02:22,120
And when they do, they are capable of having an impact

34
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,120
more environmentally devastating than any bomb devised by man.

35
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Everybody is kind of aware of the general effects of a meteorite impact.

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,120
It creates a hole in the ground, it might throw up some dust in the air,

37
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,620
if it's big enough it could cause some weather changes.

38
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,620
But what else might it do?

39
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:47,120
If it had certain chemicals in it or certain biological agents in there,

40
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,620
it could actually change the environment.

41
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:53,620
It could be used in a way to terraform an environment.

42
00:02:54,620 --> 00:02:55,620
Terraform?

43
00:02:55,620 --> 00:03:00,620
The process of artificially making an otherwise uninhabitable planet

44
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:03,620
capable of supporting human life?

45
00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:07,620
Could such an audacious notion be possible?

46
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,120
April 7th, 2016

47
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,120
NASA announces funding for a bold new initiative,

48
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,120
one that will define the future of interstellar transportation.

49
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:30,120
KONRAMA, the program, will focus on repurposing asteroids for space exploration.

50
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,120
NASA is currently working on this project called RAMA,

51
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,120
reconstituting asteroids for mechanical automata.

52
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,120
The idea is to take an asteroid and turn it into a probe

53
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,120
that we would then send to another star system.

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,120
If the RAMA program is successful,

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,120
it is NASA's belief that asteroids will not only become useful tools

56
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,120
in the exploration of space,

57
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,120
but also in the terraforming of other planets.

58
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,120
But why would an advanced society choose to explore and colonize the cosmos

59
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,120
by using asteroids?

60
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,120
So a rocket is very expensive to launch from the Earth,

61
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,120
and what you really want to do is take something very small and light

62
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
like a few key robots, not a heavy payload,

63
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,120
get it out into space, and then use the raw materials in space

64
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,120
to from scratch build a rocket.

65
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,120
And once it's out there, it's got all the raw materials it needs

66
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,120
to actually build another spaceship that's viable for space travel.

67
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:44,120
While the idea of using asteroids as a method of space travel does seem far-fetched,

68
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,120
it is far less so when taking into consideration what many asteroids are made of.

69
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,120
Minerals.

70
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,120
There is a bodacious amount of resources.

71
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,120
In fact, meteors that are meteor samples show us that the asteroid belt contains

72
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,120
organics, as metals, as refractories,

73
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,120
everything we could possibly want to build a space program.

74
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,120
The meteors are made of a very strong material like iron and nickel and cobalt

75
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,120
and things like that.

76
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,120
These are alien objects, and we really don't understand everything about them.

77
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Ancient astronaut theorists are convinced that the notion of using asteroids as a form of

78
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,120
spacecraft is not only possible, but that it has been happening and affecting the history

79
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,120
of our planet for thousands of years.

80
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,120
West Lynn, Oregon, 1902.

81
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Walking home after a day's work, pioneer Ellis Hughes spots an enormous and unusually shaped

82
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,120
boulder hidden in the woods.

83
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Curious, he pulls out his hammer and strikes the rock.

84
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,120
He jumps, startled as it rings loudly, like a bell.

85
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Over the next several days, Hughes digs tirelessly to uncover a historic treasure.

86
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,120
The largest meteorite ever found in North America, the Willamette meteorite.

87
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,120
The Willamette meteor is enormous.

88
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,120
The actual shape of the meteor has changed over time.

89
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
It now looks something like a piece of modern art.

90
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,120
It is fascinating and enormous, the things the size of a car.

91
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:45,120
If we look at the makeup of the Willamette meteorite, it's got iridium, germanium, gallium, and nickel.

92
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,120
It weighs about 15 tons, a very large object.

93
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:59,120
The nickel actually helps it from not corroding, and it of course shows evidence of having gone through the atmosphere.

94
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:06,120
It's pitted, and what's interesting, it landed intact and didn't break into a billion pieces.

95
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,120
So it's a quite remarkable meteorite.

96
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:17,120
The Willamette meteorite is an example, not only of a strange meteorite arriving intact,

97
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,120
but also that it had a profound effect on the local people.

98
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,120
It became kind of a shrine to them, a message from the gods.

99
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Long before Ellis Hughes discovered the meteorite in 1902,

100
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:38,120
a Native American tribe called the Clacamace, who have inhabited western Oregon for centuries,

101
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,120
were aware of this extraterrestrial object.

102
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,120
They also believed it had special powers.

103
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:54,120
The Clacamace tribe, they had a long, long history of interaction with this rock.

104
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:04,120
They would look at this rock as a gift, a conduit which united heaven, earth, and with water.

105
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Within the stone itself, there are holes in there from erosion and the like, which gathered pools of water.

106
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,120
Now this water was used for healing purposes, for blessing.

107
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:25,120
In other words, there was something in the water which was gathered from this meteor that had energetic power.

108
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,120
They would dip their arrowheads and their spear tips into the water,

109
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,120
thinking that this ritual would sharpen the blades and help them in their hunt.

110
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,120
The Clacamace named the meteorite Tominoas and believed that it was in fact a messenger of their sky god.

111
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,120
This is hugely significant because it tells us that in fact that rock is not just a rock,

112
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
it's an actual link to an extraterrestrial being.

113
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:58,120
We're talking about a 15-ton meteorite that crash-landed, but yet there's no evidence of an impact.

114
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:08,120
I think we have to go back to the original Clacamace connection that says that perhaps there's extra-terrestrial intervention involved in the positioning of this meteorite.

115
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,120
They firmly believed it was brought here by someone intentionally.

116
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,120
They actually thought that it came from the gods, not by chance that it fell from the sky.

117
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,120
But how did the Clacamace people believe the Willamette meteorite came from the sky,

118
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,120
considering that it is believed to have fallen to earth thousands of years ago?

119
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Is it possible that it once possessed powers, not of a spiritual, but of a technological kind?

120
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that the strange holes found in this giant metal object

121
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:53,120
may once have held technological apparatus that burned up in the atmosphere as it fell to earth.

122
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,120
The same kind of apparatus that NASA is planning to install on asteroids being harnessed for space travel.

123
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:12,120
So now you have to look at NASA's Rama Initiative and how they are planning to take asteroids, hollow them out,

124
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:20,120
make them into self-powered spacecraft, pack them with DNA and technology, and send them to other planets.

125
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:31,120
And so you have to wonder, are we just perpetuating this cycle where eons ago extra-terrestrials sent meteorites here

126
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:42,120
and the Clacamace discovered the remains of the highly technical little spaceship that has been sent as a space probe to other planets.

127
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Meteorites do have a lot of unanswered questions about their origins, their composition, and why is it exactly that they arrive here on earth?

128
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:59,120
Is there some type of intelligent design? Are these meteorites being harnessed, infused with information, and then sent to earth?

129
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Is it possible that some of the asteroids that reach our planet are essentially Trojan horses, used to hide extra-terrestrial cargo that has profound ramifications for humankind?

130
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:20,120
And if so, could they have even been used to bring alien life to earth?

131
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:33,120
May 2018

132
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:44,120
A group of 33 researchers and scientists publish a groundbreaking article in the scientific journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology.

133
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:50,120
They claim that octopuses are in fact alien beings.

134
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:59,120
The octopus has no evolutionary bridge to anything.

135
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:07,120
It defies all theories of how the genome grew to form from simple creatures, more complex creatures.

136
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Suddenly you get an incredibly gifted predator, big brain, excellent eyes, strategies.

137
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,120
It likes to collect bright shiny things.

138
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:28,120
It will be fascinated by its own reflection, almost as if it is conscious, and it learns very quickly.

139
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:43,120
By the conclusion of that article, all I could think about was, well, how come those scientists cannot apply the same theory to our own origins?

140
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Because that is what the ancient astronaut theory suggests, that at some point, our genetic makeup was changed due to an extra-terrestrial event.

141
00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:06,120
So I say that it won't be long until a similar type article will be published, but the main focus will be the origin of human beings.

142
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:13,120
But if octopuses are not a product of Earth evolution, how did they get here?

143
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:20,120
And could the answer reveal the truth about mankind's own extra-terrestrial origins?

144
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Could extra-terrestrials have sent asteroids to our planet in order to speed up, or even initiate, Earth's biological evolution?

145
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:44,120
In 2011, former NASA astrobiologist Richard Hoover published an article in the Journal of Cosmology, revealing nine separate meteorites that contain microfossils of bacteria.

146
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,120
So you have to ask the question of where did life start?

147
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:58,120
And one idea you could imagine is the actual chemical basis of life first started somewhere else, not on Earth.

148
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120
And then you have to ask, well, how did those chemicals get here?

149
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120
And the obvious candidate for that is a meteorite.

150
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,120
An asteroid of some type broke off maybe from a planet that had life.

151
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:21,120
It traveled through space, and it entered the Earth's atmosphere as a meteorite, and then upon impact, chemicals would survive and interact with the chemistry of the Earth.

152
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,120
And perhaps that was the starting point for life as we know it here.

153
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:34,120
So when people talk about meteorites that could bring life to Earth or could change life here on Earth, this is the kind of meteorite that can do that.

154
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:45,120
It first fell in Merchis, Australia in 1969, and inside it is just a plethora of organic compounds.

155
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:52,120
There's all the building blocks for DNA, RNA. This has everything in it to start life.

156
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:03,120
This whole concept of meteorites that could be filled with DNA is a theory that's very sound.

157
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:15,120
So you have to ask yourself, would extraterrestrials actually use meteorites as projectiles in order to seed life on other planets?

158
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Now the question is, if some extraterrestrial culture sent out probes filled with DNA and the building blocks for life throughout the entire universe, are they our forefathers?

159
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:40,120
Is it possible that extraterrestrials used meteors in the distant past as a means of sending the building blocks of life to Earth?

160
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Although ancient astronaut theorists agree that such a profound notion does seem far-fetched, they point to the fact that some of today's scientists are planning to implement this very same idea with regard to other planets.

161
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:09,120
In 2016, German physicist Dr. Claudius Gross proposed the Genesis Project, which would use probes to seed life on distant stars within our galaxy.

162
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Once I visited the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, and I came back with a very beautiful slice of petrified wood.

163
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:35,120
And that made me wonder. I'm holding here in my hand something which lived 200 million years ago, and I wondered, could we lay the foundations to a forest to grow on distant worlds?

164
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:43,120
From exoplanetary research we know nowadays that there are many, many different kinds of planets in our Milky Way.

165
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Some of them will have a very beautiful biosphere of animals and plants, others may be still habitable but lifeless.

166
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,120
The Genesis Project is about to bring life to these planets.

167
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:11,120
Dr. Gross and other scientists have suggested that after jump-starting life, humans would follow these probes, convey by larger asteroids, and further alter life for their own purposes.

168
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:19,120
And according to ancient astronaut theorists, this is exactly what happened on Earth thousands of years ago.

169
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:36,120
We find in the Aztec tradition a very interesting story about how the mother god and father god bonded together and gave birth to what's called a flint stone, a knife of some kind,

170
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:47,120
which terrified them to such a point that they actually cast it down to the Earth, from which came forth many gods.

171
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:53,120
And these many gods sought to create man and woman.

172
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:59,120
What we also find are similar stories from halfway around the world.

173
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:05,120
From the biblical tradition, the Babylonian tradition, the early Sumerian traditions.

174
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:22,120
Is this really an analogy of some huge rock meteorite in the sky that extraterrestrials, gods from outer space, sent here to the Earth and created humans, the humans that we are today?

175
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:28,120
Are meteorites more than simply space debris that randomly arrives on Earth?

176
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:40,120
Ancient astronaut theorists insist that the answer is a profound yes, and believe that not only could asteroids have been the method used to bring life to our planet,

177
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:51,120
they could also have been instrumental in providing a direct means of extraterrestrial communication, a communication that continues to this day.

178
00:18:53,120 --> 00:19:00,120
Mekka, Saudi Arabia

179
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:08,120
Each year, millions of Muslims travel from all over the world to take part in a holy pilgrimage known as the Hajj.

180
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:14,120
It is meant to demonstrate both solidarity and submission to the will of Allah.

181
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:29,120
The climax of the pilgrimage is the Tawaf, whereby each Muslim must walk counterclockwise seven times around a large square structure called the Kaaba, known to Muslims as the House of God.

182
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:44,120
And it is here, embedded in the wall of the eastern corner of this 4,000-year-old cube-shaped granite structure, that a secret relic, simply known as the Black Rock, is set within a pure silver frame.

183
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:54,120
It is believed to date back to the time of Adam and Eve. It is also believed by many to have come to Earth from outer space.

184
00:19:54,120 --> 00:20:07,120
Academics believe there is no question that it is a meteorite. According to Islamic legend, this was a meteorite that was actually brought to Earth by the Archangel Gabriel and given to Abraham during the building of the Kaaba.

185
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:18,120
Muslims circumnavigate the Kaaba, making a seven-circuit circle to ultimately connect themselves to Allah to create a moment of divine unity.

186
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:24,120
And in the process, they go into a sort of a trance-like state that takes them into this transcendental realm.

187
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:39,120
In Islamic tradition, it is believed that the Kaaba was originally built by Abraham, and it was built on this site by a higher spiritual direction.

188
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:43,120
The angel of God is by every definition extraterrestrial.

189
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:58,120
So even within the Islamic culture, we must recognize that the source of the Kaaba stone is extraterrestrial, and as such has a significance far beyond that of just its cultural or historic origins.

190
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:07,120
When Muslims pray, they're not just praying in the direction of Mecca. They are specifically praying in connection with the Kaaba.

191
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:18,120
Presently, there are over 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. That's today, but since 600 A.D. when Muhammad found it in Islam, there have been billions more.

192
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:31,120
What we're witnessing here is an extraordinary story of an otherworldly or extraterrestrial being, Gabriel, bringing this stone to Earth and it having a tremendous, in fact, incalculable influence on human affairs.

193
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:44,120
In the hadith, a collection of traditions that supplement the Quran, there is a passage which describes the black stone speaking directly to the prophet Muhammad.

194
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:53,120
Throughout history, there have been countless numbers of people who have been influenced by the black stone at the Kaaba.

195
00:21:53,120 --> 00:22:05,120
And so was there some intent by extraterrestrials that this black stone was to interact with humans on Earth? It would seem to be the case.

196
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:23,120
At Judgment Day, all who have touched the black stone with a sincere heart will be given speech in expanded sight. Perhaps the hope and promise for all of us is that through communication with extraterrestrials through these meteorites and otherworldly rocks that we too will receive cosmic wisdom.

197
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:41,120
But other than the black stone of Islam and the Willamette meteorite of the Clackamas Indians, are there other ancient meteorites that are believed to have mystical powers? According to ancient astronaut theorists, there are hundreds of them.

198
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:52,120
And together, they form a network of so-called sacred stones, which are often used by humans to facilitate a direct communication with otherworldly beings.

199
00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:08,120
Camp Verdi, Arizona, 1915. A large meteorite is found, wrapped in a feather blanket and buried inside an ancient ruin.

200
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:29,120
A fellow named George Dawson found something that looked like a possible grave. Sure enough, something was buried there. It turns out to be a fragment of a meteorite, 135 pounds of nickel and iron, wrapped as if it were a human burial, as if the people doing the ceremony were in some kind of relationship with this object.

201
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:43,120
In ancient Greece, the Temple of Apollo is constructed to honor the site where a meteorite fell to Earth, a meteorite that is believed to contain the power of the gods.

202
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:55,120
Zeus, the great god of the Olympians, took a stone and threw it down there to mark the place of origin for all humans and the center of things. This was a particularly sacred spot.

203
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:04,120
The stone itself, the ampholose, came from the heavens to Earth. It was a transmission. It was from Zeus to the people.

204
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:17,120
For them, that meteorite, that stone, was a power that radiated to all points of the Earth from Delphi, from this meteorite.

205
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:25,120
And this ampholose stone was also supposed to be a vehicle for communicating with the gods.

206
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:40,120
So you have to wonder, was this rock sent by Zeus, one of the gods? Was it really some special stone that could help people communicate with extraterrestrials?

207
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:47,120
Are ancient accounts of meteorites that communicate with humans simply mythological tales?

208
00:24:48,120 --> 00:25:05,120
Ancient astronaut theorists insist the answer is a profound no and believe that proof that many have been sent here deliberately can be found by reexamining what Muslims believe to be the origins of the sacred meteorite they call the Black Stone.

209
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:26,120
Tradition with the Black Stone says that it was to be an altar used by Adam the first man and that later the angel Gabriel gave it to Abraham and that Abraham and Ishmael then placed the Black Stone in the Kaaba at Mecca where it is today.

210
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:37,120
So you have to wonder, were extraterrestrials purposely giving this stone to Abraham in order to move mankind forward on planet Earth?

211
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:50,120
Is the connection between the Black Stone of the Kaaba and the biblical story of Adam and Eve further evidence that meteors may have been used by extraterrestrials to see life here on planet Earth?

212
00:25:51,120 --> 00:26:05,120
And if meteorites can contain energy capable of influencing the human mind, is it possible that they may have other metaphysical capabilities? Capabilities that we are only just beginning to comprehend.

213
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:15,120
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answers to these questions must be looked for at the place where these meteorites first originated.

214
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:25,120
A region in our solar system that may exist very near our planet or in a solar system very distant from our own.

215
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:49,120
According to mainstream scientists and astronomers, virtually all of the asteroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere have come from a circular region of space located between the planets Mars and Jupiter, known as the asteroid belt.

216
00:26:50,120 --> 00:27:05,120
First discovered by astronomers in 1801, the asteroid belt contains an estimated 2 million asteroids, although most are tiny irregular shaped fragments of mineral infused rock.

217
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:11,120
Some are much larger, giving them the status of what are called dwarf planets.

218
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:28,120
But while the origins of the asteroid belt remain unknown, there are many believe that it was formed after the destruction of a small planet, and that the asteroids are simply the debris from that planet that is remained in orbit around the Sun.

219
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:39,120
There's a curious history behind attempts to understand the distribution of planets in our solar system, as it does seem that planets are spaced out in a rather regular way.

220
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:46,120
And then there's this big gap between Mars and Jupiter, and almost as if they should be a planet there and isn't.

221
00:27:47,120 --> 00:28:02,120
Then of course it was discovered that there's this asteroid belt, a lot of debris, and so some early speculation was that maybe there was a planet there and it got destroyed by some sort of collision, and that what we're seeing is all the fragments of that planet.

222
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:18,120
If the asteroid belt contains the remnants of a planet, what led to its destruction? Was it due to a natural catastrophic event? Or is there, perhaps, an even more incredible explanation?

223
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:27,120
According to ancient astronaut theorists, the answers can be found in some of the earliest recorded stories from the ancient world.

224
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:47,120
According to Sumerian and Babylonian lore, there was this phenomenal cosmic battle that the gods fought amongst themselves across the cosmos, one planet fighting another planet, and that in fact one planet was completely destroyed during this cosmic battle.

225
00:28:48,120 --> 00:29:01,120
And as a result of that, they destroyed their homeworld and had to re-establish civilization on a new planet, our planet Earth.

226
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:12,120
Is it possible that an extraterrestrial space battle was responsible for creating the asteroid belt thousands of years ago?

227
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:28,120
And if so, could that suggest that some of the meteorites that have come to Earth are not only from the asteroid belt, but also from galaxies far, far away, and still contain evidence of alien civilizations?

228
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:41,120
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and also suggest that such a meteoric event might not be accidental, but part of an incredible extraterrestrial agenda.

229
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:48,120
Johannesburg, South Africa, February 2018

230
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:57,120
Geologists from the University of Johannesburg announce that they have discovered a meteorite that is unlike any known to man.

231
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:08,120
According to them, the meteorite, referred to as the Hypatia Stone, did not come from the asteroid belt, or from anywhere inside the planet.

232
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:15,120
It came from somewhere else in the galaxy.

233
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:23,120
The Hypatia Stone has a number of interesting features, because you can look at asteroids in our solar system and they have a very definitive composition.

234
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:31,120
This composition is radically different. It's not chondritic, that's a key element of most meteorites or asteroids.

235
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:41,120
The standard composition for the meteorites we find is called chondritic, and that matches almost exactly the composition of the Sun.

236
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:52,120
So these are part of the congealed early solar system nebulae. They're four and a half billion years old. It's the original dust of the solar system.

237
00:30:53,120 --> 00:31:03,120
Why wouldn't Hypatia fit that model from another star system? It suggests not only was it interstellar, but it was exotic from wherever it came.

238
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,120
So Hypatia is just a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

239
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:24,120
Prior to the discovery of the Hypatia Stone, most scientists insisted that it would be virtually impossible for meteorites from outside our solar system to arrive naturally on Earth.

240
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,120
They would not be able to make the long journey through interstellar space.

241
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:39,120
There's like 400 billion stars in our galaxy. Then what are the odds of it coming from one of those stars and finding our solar system?

242
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,120
And then it was on the bright trajectory to get captured by the gravity of our planet.

243
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:56,120
Why did this stone not get captured by Jupiter or Saturn, one of the big gravity wells? Instead, it was just perfect to match with Earth's gravity well and to crash here.

244
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,120
The odds of that are staggering. It's infinitesimal.

245
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:12,120
There's always the possibility that this Hypatia Stone had its trajectory manipulated, meaning it had course corrections so that it would get to the destination that it was going to.

246
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:32,120
And when you think about the chances of some probably relatively small meteorite coming here from the vast reaches of space and then hitting Earth, it makes you think, was this meteorite sent here deliberately to target Earth?

247
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:39,120
And if this meteorite was sent here to Earth, you have to wonder, why would extraterrestrials do this?

248
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:45,120
Was the Hypatia Stone intentionally sent to Earth by an advanced alien civilization?

249
00:32:46,120 --> 00:33:01,120
Ancient astronaut theorists believe such an audacious concept is possible and also believe that evidence to support their theory can be found by examining a number of meteorites that can levitate.

250
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,120
San Diego, California, March 7th, 2018

251
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:25,120
Physicists at the University of California, San Diego, examined the Mandrebella meteorite, a 22-ton chunk of iron unearthed in Western Australia.

252
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:41,120
After exposing fragments of the rock to extreme heat and pressure, they discovered that it contains exotic materials known as superconductors, which are capable of harnessing magnetic force to levitate.

253
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:48,120
When a material becomes superconducting, it wants to repel the magnetic field outside of its surface.

254
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,120
There's a force created as it repels the magnetic field, and so it raises up.

255
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,120
And you can change the magnetic field and it will change the position of the levitated superconductor.

256
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,120
This is kind of what's important from a perspective of using it for propulsion.

257
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:17,120
Over the last few years, NASA has awarded millions of dollars in contracts to develop new superconductive thrust systems for spacecraft.

258
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:30,120
However, since the process to manufacture a superconductor is extremely precise and difficult, ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the Mandrebella meteorite may have been artificially fashioned.

259
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:41,120
This was an amazing role of the dice that the Mandrebella meteorite formed in just a way that it was the right recipe to be a superconductor.

260
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,120
There is a possibility that it wasn't created by the randomness of nature.

261
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Is it possible that these are fragments left over from an artificial craft and that the superconductivity in the fragments wasn't there by nature? It was put there on purpose.

262
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,120
Maybe it was the propulsion system.

263
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:07,120
This meteorite could be directing itself in order to target planet Earth.

264
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:18,120
Perhaps we need to view it not as a meteorite, but as a highly technical extraterrestrial spaceship that has been sent as a probe to other planets.

265
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:26,120
Could the Mandrebella meteorite really be a fragment of a probe sent by alien beings?

266
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:37,120
As ancient astronaut theorists claim, and if so, might there be extraterrestrial technology in meteorites that is even more advanced than we can currently understand?

267
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Kuttyrka, Russia, December 8, 2016

268
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:57,120
At the northeastern tip of the Siberian tundra, geologists are panning through one and a half tons of clay when they spot a miniscule grain of meteorite that defies the laws of chemistry.

269
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:06,120
The granule contains a new type of mineral called a quasicrystal, a crystalline formation that never repeats itself.

270
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:21,120
A quasicrystal is very ordered. Looks like it might be a crystal when you first look at it because of its regular structure, but no matter how much you shift it or what direction you shift it, it will never exactly reproduce itself.

271
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:29,120
So that feature of a crystal is fundamentally missing, but there's a really high level of order, hence the name quasicrystal.

272
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:38,120
In 1982, scientist Dan Schekman was the first to theorize the existence of what he called quasicrystals.

273
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:46,120
He also described them as having what he referred to as forbidden symmetry because they should not exist in nature.

274
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:56,120
There was this 20-sided quasicrystal found inside the meteorite's matrix, and the fascinating part about this is you only thought it could be formed in labs.

275
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:06,120
I mean the immense amount of energy and pressure to create that, it's hard to believe that such a complex structure could be created in the natural world.

276
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:16,120
So the question then is that, is this meteorite artificial, are these quasicrystals inside it also artificially created?

277
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,120
And if so, what is their purpose?

278
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:31,120
We know that quartz crystals are used to store information, and so each of these quasicrystals, like a computer disk, could be holding huge amounts of information.

279
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,120
Maybe there will be future uses of these quasicrystals that we haven't thought of yet.

280
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:46,120
If I were going to be in an organization that was studying UFOs or crashed UFOs, trying to reverse engineer advanced technologies,

281
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:57,120
I would certainly go to all of these meteor impacts and study the materials in the craters because we don't know that they are just rocks in space, or could they have come from spacecraft?

282
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:15,120
Does the presence of unusual and potent materials in meteorites, such as superconductors and quasicrystals, provide further evidence that asteroids and meteors could in fact be sophisticated interplanetary delivery systems?

283
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,120
Sent to Earth by highly advanced extraterrestrial beings?

284
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,120
And if so, where are they coming from?

285
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:31,120
And how are they planning to influence the future of mankind?

286
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:51,120
In the late 1940s, Hungarian mathematician and computer scientist John von Neumann theorized that the best way to colonize space was through what he called self-replicating robots,

287
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:58,120
artificially intelligent machines that can replicate themselves using the materials they find in space.

288
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:13,120
He had this idea that if you wanted to travel the galaxy and explore the galaxy, the best way to do it would be to create small self-replicating robots and propel them to the star system you want to go to.

289
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:21,120
And they would start building things that would be needed so that when their masters finally got there, everything would be there that they wanted.

290
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:38,120
But while von Neumann imagined self-replicating robots that were mechanical in nature, ancient astronaut theorists proposed that extraterrestrials may have used more organic materials as a means to achieve the same purpose centuries ago.

291
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:55,120
Von Neumann proposed that you could send a machine to another planet and it would start making copies of itself and in fact perhaps evolve from just the original copy to something more complex.

292
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:13,120
And perhaps this is what DNA is, a von Neumann machine that then replicates and then evolves and finally forms something similar to the thing that created it in the first place.

293
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:36,120
So in a sense, we ourselves are these self-replicating robots. We are manipulated by extraterrestrial DNA. The extraterrestrials manipulate our civilization, help us move technologically forward and now we're ready to meet our creators.

294
00:40:37,120 --> 00:41:02,120
If you think about the von Neumann probe concept, if that were to be the case, then all these other things about meteorites, about them being able to store information, about them being able to send organic material that could change an ecosystem, about them being able to be perhaps transceivers of information and maybe even vessels that are spacecraft themselves.

295
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,120
All of this makes perfect sense from that perspective.

296
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:24,120
Here we are on the verge of taking asteroids, turning them into self-propelled meteorites, sending them to other planets. And this is perhaps really the theme of the universe, that life is seated in special planets.

297
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:34,120
It's nurtured until we ourselves can do what the ancient extraterrestrials did to us and that is seed life on other planets.

298
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:45,120
By using asteroids to spread the seeds of humanity throughout the universe, are we on the verge of replicating the means of our own creation?

299
00:41:45,120 --> 00:42:06,120
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, as mankind continues to explore the galaxy, meteors may still contain important clues, not only to our origins, but to destinations that are as infinite as the stars.
