1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Astonishing sea creatures defy explanations.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
It's like these creatures were brought here

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
in their entirety and put into our oceans.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Ancient cultures worship fish like gods.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
This is a common theme that we find around the world.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Humans that had aquatic features.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Underwater life forms display mysterious behavior.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
So they're totally alien forms of life

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
that have never been found anywhere else on the planet.

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Scientists say we know more about the surface of Mars

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
than we do about the bottom of our own oceans.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
But is it an even more alien environment

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
than anyone could imagine?

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
This is an extraterrestrial amino acid.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Really?

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
This is a revolutionary discovery.

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
This could just be the opening of the door

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
into the realization that our oceans

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
are in fact a great extraterrestrial laboratory.

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
There is a doorway in the universe.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Beyond it is the promise of truth.

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
The evidence is all around us.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
The future is right before our eyes.

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
We are not alone.

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
We have never been alone.

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
November 4th, 2006.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
A video is anonymously posted on the Internet

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
that appears to be underwater footage

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
of a large, shadowy sea creature.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
While the footage is low quality,

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
long arms and legs, or possibly a mermaid-like fin,

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
can be made out as the creature draws nearer to the camera.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And then the video abruptly ends.

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Information posted with the clip claims it shows the Ningen.

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
A legendary sea creature said to lurk off the coast

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
of Antarctica.

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
While some suggest the footage was faked,

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
other photos and videos of the Ningen

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
have surfaced in recent years.

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And there are those who believe this disturbingly

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
human-like sea monster is real.

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Now, most people, when they saw the images of this ninja,

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
quickly dismissed it as a hoax.

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
But things in the past, too, like the idea of a kraken,

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
some large squid, was never even thought possible

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
until it was discovered.

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
History books are filled with sensational encounters

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
with terrifying sea monsters.

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Many of these stories were derided as myth

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
until evidence was found centuries after.

52
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
To indicate there was some truth to them.

53
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
The sea is a primal force.

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
It is deep, it is powerful, it is tempestuous,

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
so it frightens us.

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
So mariners, tales of sea, serpent sea monsters

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
go back to the earliest times of mythology and folklore.

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
They represent some of our deepest terrors.

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
The ocean is a good example of this fact-meets-fiction scenario.

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You have stories like the kraken and these giant sea monsters,

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and then the science catches up, so to speak,

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
and we find that, yes, there are these giants squid down there.

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
So that begs the question,

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
what else might be down there?

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
And frankly, we haven't got a clue.

66
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
As we venture deeper and deeper into the ocean,

67
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
there's no telling what we're going to find.

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
But one thing will be certain,

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
it will be absolutely mind-blowing.

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Could the Ningga and other even more incredible creatures

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
that we have yet to encounter

72
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
be hiding out in the depths of Earth's oceans?

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Incredibly, the world that we know and inhabit

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
above water represents only 1% of the planet's livable space.

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
99% belongs to the oceans,

76
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
and less than 10% of that space has been explored.

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
The ocean does represent probably the last real,

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
like, unexplored area of the Earth.

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
The surface of the ocean floor is largely uncharacterized.

80
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
It's kind of strange when you think about it,

81
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
because we know more about the surface of the moon

82
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
and the surface of Mars than we know about the ocean floors.

83
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Up until 1875, the mainstream scientific viewpoint

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
was that living organisms could not exist

85
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
more than 1,800 feet beneath the surface of the ocean.

86
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But then, a scientific expedition discovered

87
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
over 4,700 new types of sea life beneath that depth,

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
and an even more remarkable discovery

89
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
would be made more than 100 years later.

90
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
February 1977,

91
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
250 miles northeast of the Galapagos Islands.

92
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Scientists make a remarkable discovery

93
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
more than 8,000 feet below the surface.

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Near a hydrothermal vent in the ocean floor,

95
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
where no life is thought to exist,

96
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
to their astonishment,

97
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
the area is teeming with creatures

98
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
unlike anything ever witnessed on Earth.

99
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
When they first came upon these deep-sea vents,

100
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
they found giant tubeworms, riftia,

101
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
that are amazing size and beautifully colored.

102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
All sorts of shrimp and crabs and fish

103
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
living around these vents.

104
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
So they're totally alien forms of life

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
that have never been found anywhere else on the planet.

106
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Central to the underwater ecosystem

107
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
is an unusual food source.

108
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Bacteria exist at these vent sites.

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
In the absence of light,

110
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
they do something that's analogous to photosynthesis

111
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
that we call chemo-synthesis.

112
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
They actually take these sulfur-containing compounds

113
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
to generate their energy for their cells, essentially.

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
The discovery transforms the field of marine biology.

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Considering the fact that these extraordinary creatures

116
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
have been found,

117
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
is it also possible that so-called sea monsters

118
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
presumed to be mythological,

119
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
such as the Ningen of Antarctica,

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
could exist as well?

121
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
While no physical evidence of the Ningen

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
has come to light yet,

123
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
there is proof of an equally mystifying creature

124
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
that lurks in the depths,

125
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
to Ritopsis, Dornie,

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
or the immortal jellyfish.

127
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
The immortal jellyfish,

128
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
when conditions become adverse,

129
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
maybe temperatures become too high,

130
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
salinity changes.

131
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
These animals revert to a juvenile stage

132
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
from the adult stage

133
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
and basically start life all over again.

134
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
So it basically just keeps rewinding its development

135
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
over and over again.

136
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
In the lab, there are some lines of immortal jellyfish

137
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
that haven't experienced death yet.

138
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
They've just been cycling through their developmental stages repeatedly.

139
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
A jellyfish that has the potential to live forever?

140
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
But how is it possible that a creature could exist on Earth

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
that is so unlike any other life form yet discovered?

142
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
And that scientists still struggle to explain?

143
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest

144
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
there could be a very simple answer

145
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
that the immortal jellyfish

146
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
and perhaps other bizarre creatures of the deep

147
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
are not native to this planet,

148
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
but arrived here from space.

149
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
On August 19th, 2014,

150
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station

151
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
made an incredible discovery.

152
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Clinging to the exterior of the windows

153
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
was an organism commonly found underwater.

154
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Sea plankton.

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
The recent findings of sea plankton

156
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
on the outside of the space station

157
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
is really very interesting.

158
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
I personally have collaborated with the group

159
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
of very distinguished scientists who are involved in this,

160
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
and we concluded that there's no way

161
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
in which microbes can be lofted

162
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
to 400 kilometers from the surface.

163
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
So they have to come from outside.

164
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Has Dr. Chandra Wigramasinga,

165
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
along with his colleagues,

166
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
found irrefutable evidence of alien life

167
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
that is able to survive the extreme conditions of outer space

168
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
and potentially travel to Earth?

169
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And could the fact that it was found to be plankton

170
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
indicate that life forms coming from space

171
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
capable of surviving in Earth's oceans?

172
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Here's what's so crazy.

173
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
We've discovered new creatures and new species

174
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
in places where 20 years ago

175
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
it was scientific fact

176
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
that no life could exist in those places.

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
We now have even found fish

178
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
at the bottom of the deepest spots of the ocean

179
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
where even a submarine could get crushed.

180
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
And there's living fish down there?

181
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
How is that possible?

182
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
It shouldn't work on Earth, but it does.

183
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
So my question is,

184
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
are some of those creatures directly imported from somewhere else?

185
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Immortal jellyfish.

186
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Giant worms.

187
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Possible humanoid sea monsters.

188
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Might the many bizarre creatures found in Earth's oceans

189
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
not be from Earth at all?

190
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
And if alien life forms really do inhabit our seas,

191
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
did they arrive here by accident?

192
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Or were they sent here deliberately

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
as part of an extraterrestrial agenda?

194
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Perhaps further clues can be found

195
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
by examining an object that recently crash-landed on Earth

196
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
carrying cargo that has the potential to create life.

197
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
December 1974.

198
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Cambridge University professor of astronomy

199
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Dr. Chandra Wickramasinga

200
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
publishes an article in Nature magazine

201
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
that sets the scientific community abuzz.

202
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
For decades, the mainstream viewpoint has been

203
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
that life on Earth spontaneously arose

204
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
from a so-called primordial soup

205
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
or organic compounds in the planet's primitive oceans.

206
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
But scientists are still uncertain

207
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
as to just how life would have been able to develop

208
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
from inanimate matter.

209
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Instead, Dr. Wickramasinga suggests

210
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
that life didn't start on Earth at all

211
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
but was delivered to our planet on meteorites and comets.

212
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
The concept is known as panspermia.

213
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Every single textbook on biology

214
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
that we would have studied maybe 10, 20 years ago

215
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
starts with the story of the primordial soup.

216
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
There is no evidence for this at all

217
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
and so the alternative to the primordial soup theory

218
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
is that life did not start here on the Earth

219
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
but came from outside.

220
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
There are two types of panspermia.

221
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
One which is just panspermia

222
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
which suggests that life was carried

223
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
on the backs of comets throughout the universe.

224
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
So it's a natural seeding of the planets.

225
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Now, the second term is what's called directed panspermia

226
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
and the definition behind that is

227
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
that an intelligent technological species

228
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
on a distant planet deliberately sent out

229
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
building blocks of life to particular planets.

230
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
So the idea is that Earth, perhaps a long time ago,

231
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
was seeded by extraterrestrials.

232
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
For decades, mainstream scientists

233
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
have dismissed the theory of panspermia

234
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
on the basis that life could not survive

235
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
the extreme conditions of space.

236
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
But a recent discovery could prove that notion wrong

237
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
and possibly provide physical evidence

238
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
that panspermia not only occurred

239
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
but continues to affect life on Earth.

240
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Milton Keynes, England.

241
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
March, 2019.

242
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Ancient astronaut theorist, Georgiosuchelos,

243
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
travels to the Open University

244
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
to meet with planetary scientist, Dr. Queenie Chan.

245
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Dr. Chan?

246
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Georgios!

247
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Hello.

248
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Great pleasure to meet you.

249
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Welcome here. Nice to meet you, too.

250
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Welcome.

251
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Thank you so much for bringing me here.

252
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Dr. Chan recently analyzed two meteorites

253
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
recovered in 1998

254
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
and discovered something incredibly unexpected,

255
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000
a salt crystal containing liquid water.

256
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Georgios is eager to find out

257
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
what the implications of this discovery could be

258
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
and if it might provide further evidence

259
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
that life on Earth was seeded by extraterrestrials.

260
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
So, here we've got a box full of heavy meteorites.

261
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Oh, wow.

262
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Within a stony meteorite,

263
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
we've got something called the chondritic meteorite.

264
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
They are interesting because they have

265
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
organic materials in it.

266
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
The meteorite that I found extremely interesting,

267
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
special, two meteorites, actually,

268
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Zac and Monaghan's meteorite.

269
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
They are both ordinary chondrites,

270
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
but they are not ordinary.

271
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
They both fell to Earth in 1998.

272
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
And what's more interesting is

273
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
both of these meteorites have salt crystal.

274
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
That's stunning blue coloration to them.

275
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
More interesting is within these salt crystals.

276
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,000
We found water, liquid water inclusion within them.

277
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
I'm trying to wrap my mind around this,

278
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
so you're telling me that you found meteorites

279
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
that actually contain liquid water in them.

280
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
What would you say to someone who would argue

281
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
that maybe the water entered the meteorite after it fell on Earth?

282
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
We were lucky because they both fell in a dry condition,

283
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
and they were retrieved really quickly

284
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
once they we observed the fall.

285
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
So it was not contaminated by the rain.

286
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Okay.

287
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Should we have a look at it and they clean up?

288
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Yes, please. That would be amazing. Absolutely.

289
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Before they can examine the meteorite sample,

290
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Giorgio and Dr. Chan change into protective gear

291
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
that will keep the laboratory sterile.

292
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
All right.

293
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And so this is it?

294
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
This is it.

295
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Should we have a look under the microscope?

296
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Yes, please. Yes.

297
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I'm trying to move that in focus now.

298
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
There it is.

299
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I'm going to enlarge it on my screen.

300
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000
This is it.

301
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
You're looking at a speck of water in a meteorite.

302
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
This is the first time that we found

303
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
an amino acid with water.

304
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
This is extraordinary.

305
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Amino acids?

306
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
These organic compounds are the building blocks of life.

307
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
They're the only ones that are in the water.

308
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
They're the only ones that are in the water.

309
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
These organic compounds are the building blocks of life.

310
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So finding them within liquid water on a meteorite

311
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
is extraordinary.

312
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Could alien proteins like these have started life on Earth?

313
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So one of the exciting things about the discovery

314
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
of the blue salt crystals and the asteroids

315
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
that crashed to Earth is really the amino acids.

316
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Mino acids are the building block of proteins.

317
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
And so it really shows that Earth isn't the only place

318
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000
where the right chemistry exists for which you can get life.

319
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
The pan spermia theory cannot be dismissed.

320
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
And one reason is as follows.

321
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
In the early Earth, we were hit by meteors and asteroids.

322
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000
So our oceans probably boiled off many times in the past,

323
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
making life impossible.

324
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
But then when the solar system became quiet

325
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
and we had oceans, boom, life gets off the ground.

326
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Scientists are finding more and more evidence

327
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
that shows organic material arrived here from other worlds

328
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
billions of years ago.

329
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
And some believe that process continues to this day.

330
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
What is this?

331
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
This is a nanosense.

332
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
It's capable of doing isotopic analysis.

333
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
In another laboratory, Dr. Chan shows Georgia the machine

334
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
that analyzed the meteorite samples on a nanometer scale.

335
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
The results are then displayed on a computer screen,

336
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
showing a comparison between amino acids found on Earth

337
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
and those that arrived here from space.

338
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
This is very interesting because first of all,

339
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,000
we're seeing a bunch of amino acids that are common in terrestrial life.

340
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
And over here, we've got other extraterrestrial amino acids, let me say.

341
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Really? This is a revolutionary discovery.

342
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
I immediately go to the idea of pan spermia

343
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
that life has been brought through the entire galaxy

344
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000
by means with which we can't even fathom how it was done.

345
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
The building blocks of protein that we know to be necessary for life,

346
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
these very building blocks, the same amino acids that we found on Earth,

347
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
is ubiquitous in the universe.

348
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
It's everywhere. It's found on asteroid.

349
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
It's found on comets too.

350
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
So in your estimation, what is the likelihood of life

351
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
having begun elsewhere?

352
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
We've got so many different galaxies,

353
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
and there are so many Earth-like planets.

354
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
And we could have water elsewhere.

355
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
We know that amino acids are building blocks of life.

356
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Are you ubiquitous?

357
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
So I think it's totally possible.

358
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Thank you so much for sharing this information with me.

359
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
I think this has been one of the most enlightening conversations that I've ever had.

360
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
So thank you for your time.

361
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Good to have you.

362
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Are the seeds of life being sent to Earth inside meteorites

363
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,000
and possibly developing new alien species in the deepest parts of our oceans?

364
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And if so, to what end?

365
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Perhaps further clues can be found

366
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
by examining one of the most mysterious and intelligent creatures in the sea,

367
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
the octopus.

368
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
March 2018.

369
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
A scientific paper sparks a sensation in the press.

370
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:08,000
In it, a team of 33 scientists, including Dr. Chandruwik Ramasinha,

371
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
claim that octopuses possess extraterrestrial DNA.

372
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000
What we find in the octopus genome is just almost uncanny.

373
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
It has something like 50,000 genes.

374
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Compare that with the human, which has something like 25,000 genes.

375
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,000
So the octopus in many ways appears to be more complex than the human.

376
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
And how did this complexity manifest itself?

377
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
There's ample evidence to suggest that it came from outside.

378
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
As scientists study octopi, they're amazed at what they're finding,

379
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
and they're not seeing a connection to some ancestor of the octopi.

380
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000
It's like these creatures were brought here in their entirety and put into our oceans.

381
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
The octopus is a really fascinating organism.

382
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
The octopus's brain, instead of just being centered in its head,

383
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
like ours, is actually distributed.

384
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
There are these brains in their arms, as well as the central brain in their head.

385
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
An octopus can certainly manipulate its environment.

386
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,000
It builds its own homes by piling rocks and shells on top of it.

387
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Octopuses are very adept at camouflaging themselves

388
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
by changing their color to that of their surroundings really, really quickly.

389
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
I mean, almost it looks instantaneous to us.

390
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,000
It can also manipulate its body into different shapes to imitate other animals.

391
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Some scientists have speculated that in the absence of humans,

392
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
the animal best suited to evolve into the dominant species on the planet

393
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
is not another primate, but the octopus.

394
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And there is one ability in particular that suggests the octopus could one day rule the Earth.

395
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
It can edit its own genetic code.

396
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
DNA, the double helix, is like a zipper.

397
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
The zipper can be unzipped.

398
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,000
And then another molecule is created called RNA.

399
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
RNA transfers the information from DNA to proteins.

400
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
So the octopus have the amazing ability to edit their RNA.

401
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Thus, they can make new proteins.

402
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Although this ability isn't fully understood,

403
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000
it suggests that the octopus can rapidly adapt to its environment far faster than other creatures.

404
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000
What RNA editing does is essentially mediated by changes in the environment,

405
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
usually temperature, for example.

406
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Camouflaging skin, tool use, the ability to edit its own genetic code?

407
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Is it possible that this extraordinary creature with three hearts and nine brains is not from Earth?

408
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Perhaps evidence can be found by examining mythological accounts

409
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
from across the ancient world.

410
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Numerous cultures told stories of human-like beings coming out of the ocean

411
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
and worshiped gods that resembled sea creatures.

412
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Interestingly, a great many of these aquatic deities resemble the octopus.

413
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,000
All the way around the world, there are traditions to do with a creator god in the form of an octopus.

414
00:23:50,000 --> 00:24:01,000
For instance, in ancient Crete, there are numerous images and paintings of an octopus with bizarre large eyes.

415
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:12,000
In Ecuador, at a place called Mantas, were these bas-relief carvings of this bizarre octopus deity.

416
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:22,000
We have to ask ourselves, is it possible that the ancients were aware that the octopus is truly alien to this planet?

417
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Is it possible that the octopus is related to a race of extraterrestrials that visited Earth thousands of years ago?

418
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Or did our ancestors encounter intelligent creatures that were the result of alien experimentation?

419
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Ancient astronaut theory proposes that in the distant past, the human race was genetically modified by other worldly beings.

420
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
If true, could they have altered other creatures as well?

421
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:03,000
In the ancient record of mythology, we find a very intriguing story, and that is, the gods experimented when they were coming up with the human form.

422
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:15,000
They experimented with various types of creatures, half human, half dog hybrids, half human, half horse hybrids, humans that had aquatic features.

423
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:23,000
They seemed to be experimenting and looking for just the right fit for conditions of life on Earth.

424
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
We think that stopped, but that may not be true.

425
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Are extraterrestrials continuing to introduce new life forms to planet Earth and perhaps altering existing life forms to this day?

426
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that just like we are conducting research on other planets, other worldly beings may be using our oceans as their own research laboratory.

427
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
St. George's Bermuda, 1978

428
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Dr. Tom Eilif, a research scientist at the Bermuda Biological Station, begins to explore the dozens of underwater caves in the area.

429
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Many of his colleagues tell him that he is wasting his time, that no meaningful life can survive in the dense, soft water environments of these caves.

430
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Caves where the sunlight does not reach.

431
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000
But to his astonishment, he finds the caves teaming with life.

432
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:40,000
The blue holes are the underwater caves in the Bahamas, so they're called blue holes because they're vertical shafts.

433
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
When you look at them, the water is a deep, dark blue in color, crystal clear water.

434
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000
There have been a number of people who've said there's nothing interesting there, don't even bother to look.

435
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
But I took that as a challenge.

436
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:12,000
I went ahead and tried to find out for myself what was there, and amazingly, there's just over 350 new species of animals that I've found in my career.

437
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000
We know of more animals in these caves than any other place in the world.

438
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Not only has Dr. Eilif discovered an amazing amount of life within the extreme environments of the blue holes, but the life forms he has found are unlike any other creatures on Earth.

439
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:40,000
There have been discovered an enormous variety of higher groups of animals in these underwater caves.

440
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,000
One of the most interesting animals we worked on represents a new class of crustacea.

441
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:55,000
It's called the Remepedes, and they're unusual because they are the only crustacean with venom-injecting fangs.

442
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:16,000
So they swim up to prey, maybe a small shrimp, and stick their fangs into it, inject it with hydrolytic enzymes that paralyzes and begins digesting the shrimp externally, and then literally have the ability to suck the juices out of their prey.

443
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,000
If I were going to build a science fiction monster, I'd build it around a Remepede.

444
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:39,000
While scientists are fascinated by the incredible abilities of the octopus that they still don't fully understand, it is only one of literally thousands of extraordinary sea creatures that similarly defy explanation.

445
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:48,000
And one of them, discovered in 2013, is the octopus's colossal cousin, the giant squid.

446
00:28:49,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Once thought to be a mythological creature, the giant squid can grow to over 40 feet in length, weigh up to 600 pounds, and boasts the animal kingdom's largest eyes, eyes capable of accommodating the lack of sunlight in the deep.

447
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:19,000
So Architeuthus dukes, or the giant squid, is a really interesting creature in that it's experiencing like deep sea gigantism, so it can get really, really large in the deep sea environment.

448
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:29,000
The giant squid's tentacles are covered with suction cups that have little teeth, and so that allows it to grab its prey in the dark and hold it to them.

449
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Perhaps the strangest of all the sea creatures found in the past 20 years is the tenophore, or comb jelly.

450
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:52,000
It has two neuro systems, healed from any wound in under three hours with no scarring, and can even regenerate its own brain.

451
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Comb jellies are such a mystery to scientists, they have been dubbed aliens of the sea.

452
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
But as bizarre as all these creatures are, could there be even more incredible life forms we have yet to discover?

453
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Exploration of the deep ocean is very difficult and dangerous.

454
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:24,000
In some respects, a space mission is easier, but the pressures crush most conventional submarines and submersibles.

455
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:33,000
There are only a handful of missions that have gone, say, to the very bottom of the deep parts of the ocean, like the Mariana Trench.

456
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:42,000
The deepest part of these oceans are about seven miles deep, and you need special bathyspheres or submarines to go that deep.

457
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:52,000
And when researchers do make these journeys, they're amazed to find that there's actually life at these extreme depths, something they didn't expect.

458
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:02,000
So now we have to wonder, is it possible that at these extreme depths in our oceans, there are extraterrestrials and bases?

459
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
It's an incredible thought.

460
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Could it be that humanity's inability to fully explore Earth's oceans has prevented the discovery of a profound and potentially disturbing reality?

461
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:26,000
That alien creatures from other worlds not only can and do exist, but they are most likely thriving in our oceans.

462
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Not only do many ancient astronaut theorists say yes, they also suggest that not all alien life forms are of the silent, swimming variety.

463
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:50,000
They believe that the sea is vast enough and deep enough to hide entire colonies of extraterrestrials and some with technological capabilities, far surpassing our own.

464
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Malibu, California, 2014.

465
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Satellite imagery reveals a curious formation on the seabed, six miles off the coast.

466
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:22,000
The satellite photos show what seems to be an oval, flat-topped structure that's got legs coming down that are holding it up.

467
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:31,000
It's about 2,000 feet underwater. In some ways this would look a little bit like an oil platform.

468
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:40,000
In the very same area as the underwater structure, locals have reported seeing strange lights emerging from the ocean.

469
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:52,000
There is this very strange 911 call from an observer near Point Doom, off Malibu, saying he saw a light coming out of the water and calling it into the sheriff's station.

470
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,000
In Point Doom, the whole area around there, USOs are phenomenally common.

471
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000
A USO is an unidentified submersible object.

472
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Is there an alien base in the very deep trench off the coast of Malibu?

473
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And that's why there are so many sightings of USOs off that coast.

474
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
An underwater alien base?

475
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Could such an incredible notion be true?

476
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:36,000
And if so, is this just one of many extraterrestrial installations hidden deep beneath Earth's oceans?

477
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to stories from all over the world of USOs.

478
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Witnesses have seen UFOs busting out from the ocean floor and just taking right off into the atmosphere and gone into space.

479
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,000
You see them off the coast of California. You see them a lot in the Gulf of Mexico.

480
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Spend some time on the Florida Gulf Coast, you will see a USO.

481
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Sailors have seen lights following their ships underwater. They're not submarines, they're something else, something's going on.

482
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Absolutely anything could be hiding down there.

483
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:37,000
If aliens were trying to direct seeds of life at the most obvious place that they would hide them is within the oceans themselves.

484
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,000
And the depths of them could hide vehicles, could even hide bases.

485
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,000
For hundreds, if not thousands of years, we would not be aware of their presence.

486
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Alien craft hidden in our oceans for thousands of years?

487
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:04,000
While many dismiss the idea as little more than science fiction, ancient astronaut theorists point to a recent innovation in marine warfare.

488
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:13,000
In May 2017, the United Kingdom announced its newest submarine program, the Astute Class.

489
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:24,000
These nuclear attack subs can carry a crew of almost 100 sailors, descend more than 1000 feet and remain submerged for up to 25 years.

490
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:30,000
The only reason they need to surface is to take on food and supplies.

491
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:42,000
But experts contend that the ocean is so rich in resources that advances in technology may soon enable submarines to harvest all of the materials they need underwater.

492
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:48,000
The oceans have everything that the crew of a ship would need to survive.

493
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
It's got plants and animals that can be harvested for food.

494
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
There are minerals and salt that can be taken from the water.

495
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,000
You can actually desalinate the water to make clean drinking water.

496
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:14,000
You can even separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in the water to create fuels and air to breathe.

497
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Everything that is necessary for life can be found in the oceans.

498
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:29,000
And it may be that if extraterrestrials are in our oceans, they're not just hiding there, this may be their preferred environment.

499
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Is it possible that extraterrestrials are not just hiding beneath the sea but view our oceans as their preferred territory?

500
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Some scientists suggest that aquatic creatures are better suited than humans for space travel.

501
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Because of the fact that we're terrestrial and we walk on the ground, as humans we're very tied to our 2D motions that is moving only left, right and forward and back.

502
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Creatures that grow up in a fundamentally aquatic environment are much more used to all of the 3D motion that comes with being able to move up and down as well as forward and backward and left and right in the ocean.

503
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Our musculoskeletal system needs the impact of gravity to remain healthy.

504
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
And so I think just the weightlessness is one of the biggest challenges to humans living in space conditions.

505
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:31,000
So you can imagine that something adapted to an aqueous environment could potentially do better in a low gravity environment.

506
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Considering the advantages that aquatic lifeforms have over terrestrial lifeforms and the fact that more than 90% of earth's oceans remain unexamined,

507
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:51,000
is it possible that there are creatures lurking beneath the water that are more sophisticated than humans?

508
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
If so, could they have been sent here on meteors from distant planets?

509
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:06,000
And does our inability to explore the extreme depths of their world mean that it is only a matter of time before they emerge from the sea?

510
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
To take over hours.

511
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
St. Paul, Minnesota.

512
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,000
2008.

513
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Arnold Launday, a retired heart and lung surgeon, announces he has patented a revolutionary type of scuba suit that will allow humans to breathe liquid air.

514
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Keto's invention is a special solution of highly oxygenated perfluorocarbons, a type of liquid that can dissolve enormous quantities of gas.

515
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:51,000
And while the technology is still in development, if Launday succeeds, humans will be able to dive to more extreme depths than ever before.

516
00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:04,000
In these dark recesses of earth's oceans, could we discover that humans share the earth with much more intelligent and sophisticated lifeforms than anything found on land?

517
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Frankly, we have no idea what might be down there. Exploration has been very limited. There are vast parts of the ocean about which we know absolutely nothing.

518
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:28,000
As humans, we tend to believe that we have dominion over the earth. But in the vast oceans beneath us, there could be all kinds of advanced civilizations.

519
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Even ones that have been here for much longer than we've been on this planet. And they've come here from other solar systems and then came to our planet where they're now living underwater.

520
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:58,000
And it seems incredible to us, but we may be seeing their ships, these USOs coming out of the water. And there may be some highly advanced civilization that's in these vast oceans that we have yet to explore.

521
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Anything could be down there.

522
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Some people have proposed that the earth served as some gigantic Petri dish. And so you have to wonder what else can emerge on earth that we don't even know about?

523
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Could there be more sophisticated lifeforms than us, not just on distant planets, but right here in our own oceans? Not aliens, but earthlings.

524
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:40,000
If extraterrestrials seeded the earth and continued to use it as a genetic laboratory, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, could further deep-sea exploration discover a species more advanced than humans?

525
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Perhaps creatures resembling the amphibious gods depicted by our ancestors. And will we only have true dominion over the earth once we are able to fully explore and inhabit these depths as well?

526
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe the creatures of the deep may already have plans for humanity.

527
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Are there extraterrestrials in fact in our oceans that are experimenting with different types of beings? And are they looking ultimately to upgrade humanity with some of these discoveries?

528
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Is that what's in our future? That there could be extraterrestrial beings that will come out of Earth's ocean that will deliver some kind of revelation that says, hey guys, this isn't all there is, you can in fact transform yourself into this.

529
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
And that will be the future evolution of humanity.

530
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Instead of looking for alien civilizations beyond our solar system, might we find them in the darkest depths of our oceans?

531
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Is it possible that there is already a species more advanced than humans hiding out in places we can't reach that have been there for thousands of years?

532
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Perhaps we will make alien contact, not when they come down from the sky, but when they reemerge from the sea.
