1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 A mysterious formation carved out of the Earth 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000 gone unnoticed for thousands of years. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000 He's really, really striking. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000 When you first see it, it looks so much like a human face. 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Is it an ancient megalithic structure 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000 made to be seen from the sky? 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000 The Badlands Guardian looks artificial. 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000 It doesn't look like a trick of nature. 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000 And could it be not only a link 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000 to mankind's extraterrestrial ancestors? 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000 So you have to ask yourself, who were they emulating? 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 But one that holds the key to their return. 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000 We've learned their codes and their secret symbolism, 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000 and what we're seeing probably holds a key to our legacy. 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000 There is a doorway in the universe. 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000 It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000 The evidence is all around us. 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000 The future is right before our eyes. 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000 We are not alone. 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000 We have never been alone. 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Gravelborg, Saskatchewan, 2005 23 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 53-year-old grandmother Lynn Hickox 24 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 is scanning GPS driving directions to a local museum 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 on satellite view when something catches her eye. 26 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000 A geographical feature that bears a striking resemblance 27 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 to a human face. 28 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000 It looks so much like a man-made structure 29 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000 that she posts the image on a message board. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Almost overnight, the image goes viral 31 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000 and becomes known far and wide as the Badlands Guardian. 32 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 It is quite striking. 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 It is clearly a face, the brow, the nose, the lips, 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000 the chin are well-formed. 35 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000 The headrests a little less so, 36 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000 but clearly could be seen as feathers. 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000 The Badlands Guardian appears to be a huge geoglyph 38 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 near Alberta, Canada. 39 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000 And to see it from Google Earth or from satellite imagery, 40 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000 you would think it was created by people many, many years ago. 41 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000 A geo means earth, and glyphs are symbols. 42 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 So geoglyph means symbols on the earth. 43 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 They can be geometric designs. 44 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 They can be animals. 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 They can be faces. 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Some of them are carved into the ground like we find in Naska. 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000 And in some places, they're built up, 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 mounds built up on the earth. 49 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Badlands Guardian is a bust or a head and shoulders 50 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000 presentation of a male indigenous person. 51 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000 It is so striking because that is the indigenous people of the area. 52 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 It doesn't look like a Scotsman wearing a kilt. 53 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000 It doesn't look like an African warrior. 54 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000 It looks like an indigenous native to the area. 55 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Is it possible that the likeness of a human face 56 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 naturally formed in the earth? 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Many who have examined the Badlands Guardian 58 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000 suggest that based on the amount of detail it displays, 59 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000 this is highly unlikely. 60 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 When the mainstream scientific community looks at the Badlands Guardian, 61 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 their first explanation is that it was created by weathering, 62 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000 rain and water runoff. 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 But there's just so much detail that we're seeing in this formation 64 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 that it goes way beyond anything nature could make. 65 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000 It not only has basic facial features, 66 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 it has secondary facial features such as the eyelid. 67 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 The only thing missing from the Badlands Guardian is a near feature. 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Now, the interesting thing about that is the local government in Canada, 69 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000 they had found a gas deposit there right where the ear should be. 70 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000 There might have been an ear there at one time, 71 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000 but now because they put an access road there 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 and they built this gas feature, that was all erased. 73 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000 Archeologists are often mistaken about ancient sites. 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000 And what is actually a pyramid that's now, say, covered in soil 75 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000 and has a forest on it, can be mistaken for just a natural hill. 76 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000 This has happened in South America, in China. 77 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Archeologists are continually finding that things they think are natural 78 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000 are actually artificial. 79 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Some of the geoglyphs found around the world 80 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 were formed simply by removing the top layer of soil 81 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000 to expose the lighter-colored dirt underneath. 82 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 But if the Badlands Guardian is also a geoglyph, 83 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 creating it would have been an enormous undertaking. 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000 The massive concave formation is almost half a mile long 85 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000 and is over 1,100 feet wide. 86 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000 For comparison, the Mount Rushmore National Monument in South Dakota, 87 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000 which was completed in 1941, is approximately 80 feet tall and 200 feet wide. 88 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000 And while it is only a fraction of the size of the Badlands Guardian, 89 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,000 constructing it required an enormous amount of work, even with modern technology. 90 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,000 The carving officially started in 1927 and it was considered complete in 1941. 91 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000 My grandfather was on the mountain approximately from 1933 to 1941. 92 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000 He was chief carver on Mount Rushmore. 93 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000 It took about 400 workers. It took 14 years. 94 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:01,000 And when I think about the amount of time and effort that it took for people in the 30s to create Mount Rushmore, 95 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000 I can't even begin to imagine what the person or persons had to do 96 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000 working on something the size of the Badlands Guardian. 97 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 I can't even wrap my head around it. 98 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000 How was it possible that the people that carved these thousands of years ago 99 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 were able to see what they were doing or know what they were doing? 100 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 They must have had assistance by extraterrestrial beings. 101 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,000 The Badlands Guardian can only be fully appreciated from the sky. 102 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 So you have to wonder why? 103 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Well, then the answer is people on the ground wanted to signal someone up in the sky. 104 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000 For ancient astronaut theorists, the Badlands Guardian could offer some of the most compelling new evidence 105 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000 that extraterrestrial intervention occurred on Earth in the distant past. 106 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000 That is, if it really is an artificial structure. 107 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Boston, Massachusetts, February 2019. 108 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Aerospace engineer and satellite imaging expert Mark Carlotto 109 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 has spent countless hours examining the Badlands Guardian 110 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000 to see if he can determine for certain whether it is something other than a natural formation. 111 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000 The image of the Badlands Guardian is very striking as this Native American figure 112 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000 and tells some properties that are unusual. 113 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000 So I did some analysis using some imaging software and the height map of the feature. 114 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000 So we'll start with an overview of the Badlands Guardian image here. 115 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000 We see the figure in the middle of the image here. 116 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000 And notice the surrounding landform is very similar in morphology. 117 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000 So now what we'll do is we'll zoom up on the figure. 118 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000 You can see it a little bit more clearly, this iconic face. 119 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000 So what can we do to bring out some information? 120 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000 So we ran a program that extracts the height or elevation from the figure 121 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000 and the way it's depicted here is dark, is low, and bright, is high. 122 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000 So now after we've taken the image and texture, 123 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 mapped it onto the elevation surface, we can view it in 3D. 124 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000 And now I'm moving around it and viewing it like we might see it in a drone. 125 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000 And as you can see, when you're looking straight down on the Badlands Guardian, 126 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000 it's this uncanny resemblance to a Native American. 127 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000 But as we look off angle and as we look at it from ground level, simulated ground level, 128 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000 you see the illusion disappears. 129 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000 So clearly this feature, if it was created, was meant to be viewed from above. 130 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000 One important factor for Mark is how a formation looks when the lighting changes. 131 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000 If the Badlands Guardian still appears as a face under different conditions, 132 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000 it could strengthen the argument that it's an artificial structure. 133 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000 And as you can see, what we've simulated here in these views are noon time views. 134 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000 So the sun is at noon in the summer, the spring or fall, and the winter. 135 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Notice in the winter the shadows are longer, the sun is lower in the sky. 136 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000 And in all three, you definitely get this impression of a face. 137 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000 It implies that it's very interesting and if it's not artificially created, 138 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 nature is having a great joke on us. 139 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000 To me, the Badlands Guardian looks artificial. 140 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000 It doesn't look like a trick of nature and that I'm suffering from apophemia. 141 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000 All humans do have apophemia, meaning they see patterns where patterns are not. 142 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 That's why we see a Mickey Mouse in the clouds and so on. 143 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,000 But this looks too specifically like some type of Native person with a headdress on. 144 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Looking at this picture, you can see the natural patterns of erosion. 145 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000 So it's clear to me from this picture that this is an artificial structure. 146 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Did a grandmother in Saskatchewan accidentally discover physical evidence 147 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000 of extraterrestrial intervention on Earth? 148 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:11,000 But if so, how long has it been there? Who built it? And what does it mean? 149 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining other geoglyphs that have been discovered all over the world. 150 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:28,000 And the strange figures, they depict. 151 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,000 In 1820, the prominent German mathematician and physicist Karl Friedrich Gauss 152 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,000 began to explore the possibility that there are other intelligent beings in our solar system. 153 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000 He hypothesized that alien lifeforms might be able to view the surface of our planet 154 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,000 through the use of superior technology and proposed that we could attempt to communicate with them 155 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:57,000 by creating large-scale shapes and figures in the Earth, 156 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000 what are known today as geoglyphs. 157 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Gauss' idea was simple, that tracks of forest be planted in the shape of right triangles 158 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,000 so that at great distances, patterns of triangles would be visible from space. 159 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,000 He tried to come up with an idea of how we could signal our existence here down on Earth, 160 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000 and not just signal, but to tell them that we were intelligent. 161 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:39,000 So what he devised was to create this huge geoglyph in Siberia showing the Pythagorean triangle. 162 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,000 This is something that you can only work out if you have mathematical knowledge. 163 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:54,000 So he wanted to convey this knowledge to these intelligences outside of our own planet. 164 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000 More than a century after Gauss proposed creating figures in the Earth to communicate with extraterrestrials, 165 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000 pilots flying over southern Peru in the 1930s discovered hundreds of giant geoglyphs etched into the desert soil. 166 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000 The Nazca Lines 167 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000 As there is no record of when or why the Nazca Lines were formed, or even who made them, 168 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 scholars can only guess as to what purpose they served. 169 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:30,000 But is it possible that these geoglyphs were created by ancient people who were doing exactly what Gauss proposed, 170 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000 attempting to communicate with beings looking down on Earth from above? 171 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000 This is a huge area with the straight lines stretched for many, many miles. 172 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:50,000 And then effigies such as spiders and birds and other animals also carved into the landscape. 173 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:58,000 It wasn't until the invention of the airplane that we were able to observe the Nazca Lines from the vantage point they were designed for. 174 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000 With the ability to see the Earth from new heights, more and more geoglyphs were discovered. 175 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,000 And now with satellite imagery, it has been revealed that our ancestors created similar formations all over the world. 176 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:26,000 They've been finding geoglyphs in Asia, Middle East, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, all over the world they're finding geoglyphs. 177 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000 We have earthen geoglyphs such as Serpent Mound in Ohio. 178 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:38,000 In England at Glastonbury, we have the Glastonbury Zodiac, constellations carved into the landscape. 179 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000 We also have the Blythe in Taglios, in the western part of America. 180 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:52,000 So all these geoglyphs all over the world do suggest that the ancients were using the Earth as like a canvas, but why would they do this? 181 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Were they sending messages up into the sky for other beings to see? 182 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000 It might be a test of some sort, a code, a puzzle. 183 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Something that we would only recognize when we had developed powered flight and satellites. 184 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Does it lead to a next step? 185 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000 These massive geoglyphs, they're not art for art, say. 186 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:33,000 They did it for a very specific purpose, for a purpose of communicating with and interacting with extraterrestrial beings. 187 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Is it possible that an extraterrestrial civilization is monitoring us much like Carl Gauss predicted? 188 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:53,000 One part of Gauss' hypothesis that now seems very plausible is the idea that extraterrestrials may have the technology to view details on the Earth's surface from great distances. 189 00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Could it be they are waiting for the day when we humans demonstrate the ability to do the same? 190 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:13,000 That day may be closer than we think, as scientists are learning how to view the surfaces of faraway planets through a process called gravitational lensing. 191 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,000 A regular lens happens because you have a change in index of refraction, which changes the speed of light. 192 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000 A gravitational lens literally is curving space itself, and light now travels that curved path. 193 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000 What it allows us to do in exploring space is allow us to observe or look at things we wouldn't otherwise be able to see. 194 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:43,000 In 2019, the Hubble Space Telescope used a naturally occurring gravitational lens, a bend in space time, 195 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:54,000 in order to capture the light of a large galaxy cluster in the Leo constellation that was previously too far away and dimmed to sea. 196 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:04,000 While Hubble utilized a gravitational lens that already existed in space, it is possible that one day we may be able to create our own. 197 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:13,000 If there was an extraterrestrial civilization that had that technology and was far enough along to make a gravitational lens that magnified, 198 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:19,000 that might allow them to view things, for instance, on Earth that you couldn't with just a standard lens. 199 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Is it possible that extraterrestrials created markers on Earth that they were capable of seeing from the far reaches of space? 200 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:35,000 And did our ancestors then construct their own geoglyphs in the hopes that the alien visitors would return? 201 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Perhaps a piece of the puzzle can be revealed by examining geoglyphs of strange, humanoid-type beings. 202 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,000 But Nazca, we see what appears to be a humanoid figure wearing a space suit. 203 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000 And to Blythe Antoglio, we see a very strange, tall, spindly human being. 204 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Then you have the Atacama Giant, who has these lions coming out of the top of his head. 205 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000 The Badlands Guardian is unique among all the geoglyphs we've found around the world. 206 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000 It's the only one that has a face. 207 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Most of the humanoid geoglyphs are of a full figure who is looking directly at the sky, but the Badlands Guardian is different. 208 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000 He's in profile. It's just his head. 209 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000 It's a Native American face, and Native Americans lived in that area. 210 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:34,000 And Native American history is filled with stories of sky people descending from above. 211 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000 It may be a signal, hey, this is us down here. Come and say hello. 212 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000 Is it possible that the geoglyphs of humanoid figures and also the Badlands Guardian 213 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000 illustrate actual extraterrestrial visitors? 214 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,000 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a nearby site 215 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000 that boasts the greatest concentration of rock art on the North American Great Plains, 216 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000 dating back at least 9,000 years. 217 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:20,000 Writing on Stone Provincial Park, Canada 218 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:29,000 Here, less than 100 miles away from the Badlands Guardian is an incredible record of local Native American traditions. 219 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Thousands of ancient petroglyphs, images carved into stone depict every aspect of life for the people who lived here centuries ago. 220 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:49,000 There are ancient calendars, depictions of animals, humans, entire battle scenes, and the Blackfoot gods, 221 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000 who they also refer to as sky beings. 222 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000 In various Native American traditions, we have different spiritual beings located on these sort of different planes of existence. 223 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,000 And there's a wonderful range of stories in many, many Native American groups that talk about some of the adventures 224 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,000 and interactions with the sky people, with the humans on Earth. 225 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:24,000 For the Blackfoot, the most prominent of these sky beings is the one they credit with their creation, Noppy. 226 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:33,000 The creator god of the Blackfoot is called Noppy, and in this petroglyph he can be seen what appears to be inside of a disk. 227 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:41,000 And he's very strange looking because he's got four fingers, he's got sort of an elongated skull. 228 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000 The Blackfoot tell a really interesting creation myth about Noppy. 229 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000 They tell how he came to Earth and created various animals and other creatures. 230 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000 And then one day he decided to form a living human being out of clay. 231 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000 And then he goes and leaves the Blackfoot alone. 232 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 But he promises that he's going to return. 233 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:19,000 The Blackfoot regard Noppy not as mythological, but as a real being who descended from the heavens. 234 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,000 So the star people in Native American traditions are beings who came from the cosmos 235 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:36,000 and taught the arts of civilization, agriculture, medicine, healing, and they bought maps of the cosmos to Earth. 236 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Throughout especially the western part of America we find petroglyph or rock art that portrays what appear to be star beings. 237 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000 People can look at this art and say that's a depiction of an extraterrestrial. 238 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000 And this is one way that the First Nations people recorded their interactions with the star people. 239 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Could this petroglyph of Noppy be a depiction of a being that the ancient Blackfoot encountered coming down from the sky? 240 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:14,000 And might this provide further evidence that the local indigenous populations were visited by extraterrestrials? 241 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe the Badlands Guardian may reveal how the ancients communicated with these other worldly visitors. 242 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:35,000 Now the headdress that he wears is called a medicine hat, which it's not a chief's regalia that you would see with all the feathers going down that a chief would wear. 243 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:44,000 What a medicine hat entails is it incorporates the tail feathers of an eagle, and these are normally worn by the medicine man. 244 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:51,000 The medicine man, this is a wisdom figure, it's a combination of professor, doctor, and priest all in one person. 245 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000 The hat is what we tend to call a headdress. 246 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:03,000 The shamanic ceremonial leader uses that to make contact with invisible dimensions often thought of as upper worlds. 247 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,000 In which contact is made with spirits, gods, energy that is beyond or understand. 248 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:21,000 The fact that he's wearing a medicine hat that acts as an antenna tells us that this is a figure who was in communication with other worldly beings, maybe even the star people. 249 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:35,000 If extraterrestrials communicated with the ancient Blackfoot Indians, is it possible that they imparted the knowledge and technology to construct the Badlands Guardian? 250 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:49,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that not only did extraterrestrials visit people living in the Alberta Badlands in the distant past, but that they continued to visit the region to this very day. 251 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Certain areas of the world are hotbeds of UFO activity, and in fact Alberta, Canada is one of these hotbeds. 252 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000 There's constantly UFO sightings in the day and night, and there's quite a few photos and films that can be seen. 253 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,000 In 2009 alone, there were over 150 reported sightings of UFOs in Alberta. 254 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:26,000 One of the most famous UFO sightings in that area happened in 1967 when a person named Warren Smith and two of his friends were out walking in this area. 255 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:34,000 And in broad daylight, they then saw a silvery disc shaped UFO hovering around the trees. 256 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000 The witnesses took their photos and then finally the UFO vanished. 257 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Warren Smith's photos of this craft as it was lifting in the sky were analyzed by the Photo Interpretation Center. 258 00:23:49,000 --> 00:24:02,000 The experts there determined that the photos were real and that it matched the description of what he said he saw, suggesting that this was a genuine experience and that these were in fact genuine photos of the craft. 259 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:13,000 The area where Warren Smith took the photos isn't far from where the Badlands Guardian is located. Does this suggest that aliens have a continuing interest in this area? 260 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:31,000 With all of this UFO activity in Alberta and it's in the vicinity of the Badlands Guardian, you have to wonder if this area isn't some portal or interdimensional spot where UFOs are coming and going. 261 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000 And you have to wonder if it's something to do with the Badlands Guardian. 262 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Does the Badlands Guardian represent a medicine man who communicated with the star people? Or could it be depicted a star being? 263 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,000 One who taught the indigenous people of the region a means of communicating with extraterrestrials. 264 00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found only by forensically examining the Badlands Guardian and taking a closer look at the shape of the figure's head. 265 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Los Angeles, California. 266 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000 February 2019. 267 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Ancient astronaut theorist, George Osuclos, is meeting up with forensic 3D artist, Marcia Moore. 268 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000 Marcia, it's nice to meet you. 269 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000 Nice to meet you. How are you? 270 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000 Come on in. 271 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Okay. 272 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,000 Wow, look at this space. 273 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Since learning about the Badlands Guardian, Marcia has been working to reconstruct it digitally to see what it would look like as a three-dimensional head and perhaps provide further clues as to who or what it was modeled after. 274 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000 Pull up a chair. 275 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Great. 276 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Okay, we'll discuss this guardian. 277 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Uh-huh. 278 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,000 So you've taken this and clearly you've seen the face and decided to recreate the face. 279 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Absolutely. 280 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Okay, and what did you come up with? 281 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Well, the first step for me is to just take a look at the terrain. 282 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,000 I think honestly the whole aerial view, when you look at it, there's a whole storyboard of information going on here. 283 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000 But we're focusing on this face because this is very prominent. 284 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:29,000 So you can tell we've got a neck area that's rather extended, some feathers, and then also this elongation that's forming around this headdress. 285 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000 Uh-huh. 286 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000 All right, go on. 287 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:39,000 From there, I created a 3D sculpture starting with just a normal sized head. 288 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:44,000 So I will overlay the aerial view. 289 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000 And I'm going to create layers. 290 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000 And I'm actually just following the terrain. 291 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:57,000 I'm creating this long neck and I'm creating this elongated head. 292 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000 And here we have it. 293 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000 This is the sculpture. 294 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Everything in 3D is mirrored on the other side. 295 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000 So as we turn this around. 296 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000 And this is what it would look like if that thing on the ground were a person. 297 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Absolutely. 298 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Yeah, that's pretty awesome. 299 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:22,000 After the build up of the 3D sculpture, I made a digital piece of artwork that will flesh this entity out. 300 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:32,000 That looks great. 301 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:41,000 You know, I think it's really cool that you've kind of pointed out the elongation of the skull. 302 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,000 This whole phenomenon of elongated skulls exists worldwide. 303 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Not only do we have these shapes in this geographic area, but also, for example, in South America, in Peru, 304 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:04,000 but also in Europe, in the Hittite region, present day Turkey, all with these long skulls. 305 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Around the world, ancient skulls have been found that are thin, long and misshapen. 306 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:18,000 In addition to the skulls, there are many ancient depictions of historical figures with extra large elongated heads. 307 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:25,000 What's controversial about the elongated skulls is that their cranial capacity is greater than a normal human. 308 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000 So these may not be cases of cranial deformation. 309 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000 These could be examples of a whole subspecies of humanity. 310 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Worldwide, we have these people in depictions wearing these long headdresses, 311 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:50,000 and sometimes who even see pictures, especially in ancient Egypt, where you see the same figures without the headdress. 312 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000 And guess what? They have elongated skulls. 313 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:07,000 So you have to ask yourself, why is there a figure coming out of the terrain that has, to me, seems like an elongated shaped head? 314 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000 The idea is that Earth was visited by extraterrestrials a long time ago. 315 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:20,000 And one of my opinions is that the elongated skull people were the actual visitors. 316 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,000 And the skeletons that are found today are some of the few remnants of the people that were here a long time ago. 317 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Clearly people that looked like us, except for that they had an elongated skull. 318 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000 So that to me is fascinating. 319 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,000 Marcia, thank you so much for sharing your work with me. 320 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000 You've given me a lot to think about. 321 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,000 So thank you. 322 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,000 Thank you. 323 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,000 All right. Take care. 324 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000 Bye-bye. 325 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:53,000 Does the three dimensional reconstruction of the Badlands Guardian point to the possibility that it was not only built to be seen by visitors from the sky, 326 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,000 but that it may even be a representation of an extraterrestrial? 327 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Could this be the face of the being the Blackfoot people identify as their creator God, Napi? 328 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Perhaps the answers can be found by examining yet another geoglyph that resembles a human face on Mars. 329 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000 July 19th, 1976. 330 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,000 A NASA spacecraft named Viking 1 enters into orbit above Mars. 331 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:40,000 Just six days later, it takes a photograph of the red planet that is so extraordinary it immediately ceases the public imagination. 332 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000 In the summer of 1976, NASA announced that they had found a face on Mars. 333 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Now, NASA was the original group of scientists to label the face on Mars ahead. 334 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000 It was actually in their file. 335 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000 And they said that they had found this formation on Mars that looked like a face. 336 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:04,000 However, just a few days later, they had a second press conference, and they said that they had taken a second image days later, 337 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,000 and they found that it was just a trick of light and shadow, and there was nothing there. 338 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:16,000 Could it be that the image of a giant face on the Martian surface is actually an artificial structure, 339 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000 a physical record that someone or something has been there? 340 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:27,000 Perhaps a clue can be found by comparing the face on Mars with the Badlands Guardian. 341 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000 So the face is about a mile wide and about a mile and two-thirds long. 342 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:39,000 The face on Mars is large in the Badlands Guardian, but Badlands Guardian is large enough that you can still see it in satellite imagery. 343 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:49,000 To determine if the face was created by natural means, imaging expert Mark Carlotto conducted a scientific analysis of the Martian structure. 344 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000 Alright, so in this overview, we see the face on Mars in the middle. 345 00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:00,000 One of the tests that was done on the face of Mars was to assess whether it was an artificial or a natural object. 346 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,000 We applied a technique called fractal analysis to model the background terrain locally. 347 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,000 We have a filter that basically computes a little fractal model as it moves over the image, 348 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,000 and we see if we go back and forth here to the original image and now the output of the fractal model, the fractal filter, 349 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000 the face has a very high response. 350 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:28,000 And this was a very unexpected result at the time, and the fractal technique found that it doesn't just look like a face, 351 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:34,000 but it actually is statistically in terms of the structure different from the surrounding landforms. 352 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:43,000 One criticism of this formation is that in more recent images, the impression of a face is much less evident. 353 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,000 The structure appears much more highly eroded, but if it is an ancient feature, 354 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000 you would expect erosion would have taken its toll over the course of time. 355 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000 If we flip it back and forth, there's a very high degree of correspondence between the left and the right side, 356 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000 making it a highly bisymmetrical object. 357 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,000 Bisymmetry would imply an artificial construction because nature would have to conspire quite a bit 358 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:14,000 to create something that's not only face-like but bisymmetrical and possessing all the detail that the face on Mars possesses. 359 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:21,000 The other interesting thing about the face on Mars is that NASA has taken over the last 25, 30 years, 360 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:27,000 over 40 images of the face on Mars, a formation that they say they have no interest in. 361 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:33,000 If the face on Mars is, in fact, a fabricated structure, who built it? 362 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,000 Does it have a connection to the giant face recently discovered in Canada? 363 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:45,000 And perhaps other structures around the globe that were made to be seen from the sky? 364 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Curiously, many who have examined the face on Mars have observed that the area surrounding it seems to point to a connection to one specific place on Earth, Egypt. 365 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Something extraordinary happened when we started taking pictures of the surface of Mars. 366 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000 We saw what appeared to be pyramids on the surface of Mars. 367 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:13,000 It's mind-blowing because these match the pyramids of ancient Egypt. 368 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000 Is there a connection between Mars and Egypt? 369 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Well, indeed there is. The city of Cairo was originally called Al-Kahayra, which meant city of Mars or the victorious. 370 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:37,000 The Egyptians referred to the sphinxes, ra-horakati, which means place of the horizon, which is the very same name that they gave to Mars. 371 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:48,000 So there seems to be a deep embedded memory in ancient Egypt of a correspondence or a connection between Egyptian civilization and one that might have been on Mars. 372 00:34:48,000 --> 00:35:07,000 If we are dealing with something extraterrestrial in origin, then the Egyptian connection is very telling because many, many speculations about the extraterrestrial links with ancient Egypt. 373 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:15,000 But if there is a connection between the Sidonia region of Mars and ancient Egypt, what is the significance? 374 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:26,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further clues can be found by taking a closer look at the Badlands Guardian and the famous ruler it's thought to depict. 375 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:36,000 The Badlands Guardian is very similar to the statues of Aknaughton, the renegade Egyptian pharaoh. 376 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:48,000 He and Ephrahtiti and their children all had elongated heads, as we see all around the world, and is often associated with extraterrestrials. 377 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:57,000 When you put an image of the Egyptian pharaoh Aknaughton beside the image of the Badlands Guardian, they're virtually identical. 378 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:03,000 When you do the A to B comparison, they both have this long neck, this very elongated face. 379 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,000 And Aknaughton, of course, is the great mystic pharaoh of ancient Egypt. 380 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:14,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe that he might have extraterrestrial connections. 381 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,000 Aknaughton claimed that he was in contact with a celestial disk he referred to as theatan. 382 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:30,000 In fact, he taught the Egyptians to no longer worship the whole pantheon of over 360 deities and to only worship theatan. 383 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000 And given the fact that his mummy has disappeared, only adds to the mystery. 384 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,000 Is this, in fact, a human being we're looking at? 385 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:46,000 Or could this possibly be a representation of some other type of a being, maybe an extraterrestrial, even? 386 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:56,000 If the Badlands Guardian is a representation not of a Native American, but of an extraterrestrial known in Egypt as Aknaughton, 387 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:04,000 could it bring us closer to solving a puzzle whose pieces are scattered all over the world, and even on other planets? 388 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that a much more recent discovery on Mars provides yet another piece that may finally complete the puzzle. 389 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,000 Waterford, Virginia, 2017. 390 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:35,000 Sidonia Institute researcher George Haas is coming through satellite images of Mars when he spies a discernible shape. 391 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,000 It appears to be the image of another face. 392 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:52,000 Unlike the original so-called Face on Mars discovered in 1976, this face appears in profile, similar to that of the Badlands Guardian. 393 00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:05,000 So in this area called Utopia, in a huge impact crater is the profiled face that has a beard, a mustache, and he's wearing a helmet that has an avian headdress. 394 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:14,000 When the bearded profile on Mars is compared to the Badlands Guardian, we see the same type of profile. 395 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Both incorporate avian iconography. One has a headdress of feathers, the other one is wearing a headdress that incorporates an entire bird. 396 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:30,000 I think the culture that produced these formations on Mars had a direct relationship to the human race. 397 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:39,000 Is an ancient story being told through geoglyphs that exist both on Earth and on our closest neighboring planet? 398 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:44,000 And if so, what happened to those responsible for writing it? 399 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:56,000 Perhaps civilization on Mars was destroyed, or perhaps civilization began on Mars and then moved to Earth. 400 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:05,000 Earth was in sense ceded by a Martian civilization, and that is why we have similar structures on Mars and on planet Earth. 401 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,000 So with the discovery of the face on Mars, is it possible that it's acting as a clue? 402 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:27,000 It's telling us that somewhere here is evidence of a lost civilization that existed on the red planet perhaps millions of years ago. 403 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:37,000 That's a very tantalizing possibility, and it's one that I know that every scientist going to Mars wants to answer. 404 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:49,000 It may be these geoglyphs were all part of some global memorial that was built by some unknown extraterrestrial culture that has to do with human origins, 405 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,000 and is telling the story of where we came from and possibly where we may be going. 406 00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:00,000 You have to ask, is there something in common between the people that were making these geoglyphs? 407 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000 And the answer is that they all have similar stories in these earthly civilizations. 408 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:14,000 They're in contact with star beings, celestial beings that came to Earth and are assisting humanity. 409 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000 They lived with us, they interacted with us, then they left. 410 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:29,000 But is it possible that not all of the communications we're receiving from these other worldly beings are in the form of geoglyphs? 411 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:36,000 Could crop circles, for instance, be more recent examples of a type of extraterrestrial dialogue? 412 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:46,000 If you bring crop circles into the mix, there are some very sophisticated crop circles that also indicate knowledge of fractal geometry. 413 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000 If it could be a message, they might be communicating with us and we might perhaps want to communicate with them. 414 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:04,000 It's possible that many of these geoglyphs, much like crop circles that appear every summer, might give us clues to our past and to our destiny. 415 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:12,000 The fact of the matter is that we have geoglyphs worldwide and with the improvement of our technology, 416 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000 who knows what else will discover in the next five to ten years? 417 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:26,000 We are entering a new era of discovery and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. 418 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:41,000 As we send more spacecrafts to Mars, will we continue to uncover evidence of an alien civilization that could have lived there centuries ago? 419 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:58,000 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe that the human race is getting very close to the day when it will unlock what they believe to be an alien code and find a means of direct communication, 420 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:05,000 a living link between mankind's past and its extraterrestrial future. 421 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,000 Thank you for watching.
