1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The fruit of a tree that forever alters humanity.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This serpent being offers them some special food to eat.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
And suddenly we have a fundamental change.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
A drink that grants everlasting life.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
This liquid could convey immortality upon those who consumed it.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And a nourishing substance that rains down from the sky.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
This machine was given to the Israelites by extraterrestrials.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
In every religious tradition, there are foods believed to possess extraordinary power.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And some that are even consumed by the gods themselves.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The gods ate the god's drink and this is what kept them divine.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
But is it possible that what our ancestors described as gods were in fact visitors from another world?

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And if so, might the food of these gods reveal a powerful link to mankind's extraterrestrial origins?

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000
These foods were directly introduced into the human experience in order to awaken us.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And to bring us closer to the gods.

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
There is a doorway in the universe.

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Beyond it is the promise of truth.

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
The evidence is all around us.

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The future is right before our eyes.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
We are not alone.

21
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
We have never been alone.

22
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
As humanity prepares to travel to other worlds,

23
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:03,000
one of the biggest challenges facing scientists is how to provide sustenance beyond that found on planet Earth.

24
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
When we think of the early pioneers, we think of quote, living off the land.

25
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
You can't do that in outer space.

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
There's no soil.

27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
There's no oxygen.

28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
There's very little of the basic ingredients that we take for granted on the planet Earth.

29
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So living in outer space presents a whole new set of challenges.

30
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Currently, NASA researchers are experimenting with various possible solutions to the problem of keeping humans fed during long-term missions.

31
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
For long expeditions in space, there are really three things we have to do.

32
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
One, either bring our food with us, whatever we go, take the food, wagon train.

33
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Two, terraform a planet or find a planet where we can already grow food that can sustain us.

34
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Or three, change our own metabolism so that we can exist on a whole different kind of food.

35
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
But is it even possible to sustain life in the vacuum of space?

36
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000
In recent years, biologists have discovered organisms on our planet that can thrive in extreme conditions,

37
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
like those found in the deepest depths of Earth's oceans.

38
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
The prevailing assumption was that there wasn't much life at the bottom of the ocean.

39
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
So this idea that the deep sea could actually contain life is pretty phenomenal

40
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
because I think we had assumed that without light we couldn't have life.

41
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:48,000
So the existence of whole ecosystems that are supported by chemical reactions that don't need light to generate biomolecules and energy

42
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
I think was really revolutionary.

43
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000
But could the key to mankind's survival on other worlds be found not in a laboratory,

44
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,000
but by studying past accounts of extraterrestrial encounters?

45
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Eagle River, Wisconsin, April 18, 1961.

46
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Plumber Joe Simonton is finishing his lunch when he notices a metallic saucer-shaped craft landing just outside his kitchen window.

47
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000
I raced out to see what it was, and by that time there was a hatchway opening up in the top of it, just like the trunk of your car.

48
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And then there stood a little man, I say a little man, about five foot tall, holding up a jug, and he motioned, they wanted to drink, he motioned for water.

49
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
So I walked up to him to get this jug, and I looked at his eyes and they were so penetrating that I had to look away.

50
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Simonton took the container and filled it with water.

51
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:01,000
When he returned to the flying saucer, he noticed a second being with what appeared to be food like wafers.

52
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,000
He didn't say a word, he just restored and he got a handful of them, four of them, he handed them down to me, which I have one here yet.

53
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000
According to Simonton, the two aliens promptly closed the hatch and took off.

54
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Within two or three seconds it was out of sight. Well there I stood in the driveway wondering what the heck it saw, what had happened.

55
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And if that was their food, God help them because I took a bite of one of them and tasted like a piece of cardboard.

56
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:48,000
The case immediately garnered the attention of US government agencies looking into the UFO phenomenon, including Project Blue Book and its science advisor, astronomer J. Allen Heineck.

57
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Joe Simonton, this is an interesting case because it has a level of physical evidence that we don't often see with a lot of these cases.

58
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Heineck, the National Investigations Committee for Aerial Phenomena, which was largely CIA back in that period of time, wants to investigate.

59
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
And J. Allen Heineck, who was doing investigations for the Air Force, he wanted to investigate.

60
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Heineck obtained samples of the wafers and requested a full analysis by the US Department of Health's Food and Drug Laboratory.

61
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:33,000
The reports stated that the wafers consisted of chemically modified terrestrial plants, including buckwheat, soybeans and bran.

62
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,000
But curiously, not even the tiniest trace amount of salt was detected in the sample.

63
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:52,000
There was no salt at all found in this analysis by NiCAP and J. Allen Heineck. And it's puzzling.

64
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
One of the interesting things about life on this planet is it did start in the oceans and the ocean is salt water.

65
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,000
And so fundamentally the water in our bodies, in our cells and in pretty much every living thing has a certain amount of salt concentration and is ubiquitous everywhere.

66
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:17,000
According to scientists, every cell of every living organism on Earth contains a trace amount of sodium chloride, or salt.

67
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:28,000
So could the complete lack of salt in Joe Simiton's so-called alien wafer really be proof that it came from an extraterrestrial source?

68
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
We see in outer space thousands of planets with different kinds of chemistries.

69
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,000
So it's definitely possible that you could have an entire planet with very little salt on it.

70
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:49,000
What if salt is as poisonous to those aliens as cyanide is to us?

71
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,000
That's what that alien contact could presuppose, that we've learned something about what's poisonous to them.

72
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that support for the Joe Simiton story and the notion that salt might be poisonous to some extraterrestrials that have visited Earth can be found in ancient tales from around the world, in which salt is used to ward off alien entities.

73
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:27,000
The salt connection to the Simiton story is very interesting because it connects to other mythologies involving demonic beings or fairy beings.

74
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:37,000
They say that if you pour salt on the ground in front of a fairy, it has to stop automatically, or that you can throw salt over your shoulder and this will ward off evil spirits.

75
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
The Shinto religion uses salt as a protective mechanism.

76
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:53,000
So for salt to be lacking in these pancakes is extraordinary because it links us to these ancient stories and it actually confirms these ancient stories.

77
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:08,000
But if the stories of both the past and present are true and these alien visitors cannot consume salt, how have they been able to sustain themselves in a place where salt is abundant?

78
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that the answer to this one simple question may reveal both an alien agenda on Earth and perhaps even the purpose behind the creation of humankind.

79
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Egypt.

80
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
The 14th century BC.

81
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:46,000
According to the Hebrew Bible's Book of Exodus, the prophet Moses helps the Jewish slaves to escape the tyranny of the Pharaoh, leading them across the Red Sea and into the Sinai Desert.

82
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
During the Exodus phase, you're wandering in the desert for almost 40 years. What do you eat?

83
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Well, God provides this substance, this magical substance.

84
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Moses appealed to Yahweh, the Old Testament God, and Yahweh caused manna, this food of the heavens, to rain down upon the Israelites.

85
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:23,000
But according to ancient astronaut theorists, the story of the Israelites receiving manna from heaven is not a story about a magical food being sent by an almighty God.

86
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,000
But one of extraterrestrials, using their advanced technology in order to prevent a group of migrating humans from starving.

87
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:40,000
We assumed that we were looking at gods in the past. We didn't know we might be looking at aliens.

88
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:53,000
In 1978, linguist George Sassoon and electrical engineer Rodney Dale released their book, The Manna Machine.

89
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:06,000
In it, they propose that the supplementary Hebrew texts of the Zohar provide surprisingly detailed descriptions that point to manna being supplied by a mechanical device.

90
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:17,000
We have a concise description of it in the ancient Jewish text of the Zohar, where they describe the transportable one with the tanks.

91
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Dale and Sassoon looked at these stories and they came out with the idea that this is not a description of God at all. It's a description of a machine.

92
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,000
The manna machine was this tower-like structure and it had these two giant tanks and a dispenser.

93
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Manna is the product of that machine and it is based on algae cultures.

94
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:55,000
This manna machine had to be taken apart every Saturday and this was the one day that the tribe did not have any food.

95
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:05,000
The basic proposition by Dale and Sassoon is that this machine was given to the Israelites by extraterrestrials.

96
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Could it be that extraterrestrials provided technology to the Israelites to sustain them during their long journey through the desert?

97
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:27,000
For the answer, ancient astronaut theorists point to passages describing a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire guiding them at night.

98
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:39,000
They're following a light that's guiding them as they wander for 40 years through these deserts of the Sinai and northern Saudi Arabia.

99
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:52,000
So you have to ask yourself, is it possible that this pillar of fire is a UFO that was working with Moses to bring the Israelites to the Promised Land?

100
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:04,000
If extraterrestrials provided the Israelites with a food dispensing machine, is it possible that they had been using this or a similar technology to sustain themselves?

101
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Perhaps the same technology as the one that produced the mysterious salt-free wafer that Joe Simiton claimed was given to him by aliens in 1961.

102
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:31,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer lies not in the further study of the so-called manna machine, but by looking into other possible extraterrestrial food sources.

103
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:45,000
I think there's a definite connection to be drawn between a lot of the food preparation practice that we see associated with all sorts of major religions and the modern UFO phenomena.

104
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:56,000
If we look back into ancient religions, one of the things that we find time and again, no matter which part of the world it is, is the issue of sacrifice of animals.

105
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Now, the big question is, why was this being done?

106
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Well, I think we could make an interesting scenario if, for example, the aliens required specific food and liquid items.

107
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
There are all sorts of religions that have food restrictions.

108
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
In the Jewish tradition, the word kosher, what is acceptable food.

109
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
In the Islamic tradition, halal, exactly the same thing, what food is allowed, what food is acceptable.

110
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:31,000
And so, for example, when you kill an animal, you cut the throat, you drain the blood, you want as little blood there as possible.

111
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:42,000
The handling and management of blood in kosher and halal practice is especially important because it is generally considered reserved for God.

112
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:52,000
I wouldn't be surprised at all if blood did not play a big role in their food and if people in the past had seen them consuming blood.

113
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
It might have become that higher beings had the right to consume the blood, not human beings.

114
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Malhear National Forest, Harney County, Oregon, July 30th, 2019.

115
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Arrancher discovers the mutilated carcasses of five of his prized bulls.

116
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:24,000
At a loss to explain the deaths, authorities note that the animals have been entirely drained of blood.

117
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
This is in keeping with many similar mutilations reported around the world.

118
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Animals of every type you can think of, large and small, have been bloodlessly mutilated.

119
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Wild animals, deer, elk, marmots, reindeer, kangaroos, snakes, all found bloodlessly mutilated.

120
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:03,000
When cows are mutilated, one of the things we notice is that they're completely drained of blood, exsanguinated. What could that possibly mean?

121
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:14,000
According to FBI statistics, the agency has documented over 10,000 official reports of similar animal mutilations over the past half century.

122
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Investigative journalist Linda Moulton-Howe began researching cattle mutilations in the late 1970s.

123
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:33,000
When I produced A Strange Harvest about the animal mutilations, all of it was a brand new landscape for me as an investigative reporter and TV producer.

124
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,000
And it led me to people who were saying the perpetrators are creatures from outer space.

125
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:51,000
And the whole issue of what are they? Do they eat? Do they drink? Are they like us? What?

126
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:02,000
During her investigation, Linda met with a woman from the Las Cruces, New Mexico area, who claimed to have been abducted from the scene and taken aboard a craft.

127
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Once inside the craft, the woman encountered extraterrestrial beings. They led her to a large vat containing dark liquid with body parts floating in it.

128
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:26,000
They're all floating in this round container and something puts in her head telepathically, that it has something to do with sustenance.

129
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Is there something in both animal and human blood that is necessary in order to sustain the life of extraterrestrials visiting planet Earth?

130
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:49,000
And if so, could finding the answer provide an important key, not only in our understanding of alien life, but in our search for a means of survival on other worlds?

131
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:01,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer might be found by examining the strange connection between human blood and immortality.

132
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Mount Olympus, Greece.

133
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:19,000
For the ancient Greeks, this was the home of the gods. Gods that were very much like humans, except that they could live forever.

134
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Courtesy of a mysterious drink called ambrosia.

135
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Ambrosia was literally the food of immortality. In the ancient world, the gods ate, the gods drank. And this is what kept them alive forever, which is one of the crucial differences between the divine and the human.

136
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:51,000
While ambrosia was reserved for the gods, the ancient Greek texts also contained stories of this divine food being shared with select humans and extending their lifespans indefinitely.

137
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:03,000
We might imagine that it is some sort of a liquid or paste or ointment that has special properties.

138
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:19,000
By drinking it, you are extending your life. And if you drank this ambrosia over many, many years, you could have a certain sense of immortality in a way.

139
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Substances like ambrosia can be found in numerous ancient traditions.

140
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:45,000
In China, there were stories of the peaches of immortality. The Norse spoke of ethos apples. But as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the ubiquity of this story also provides further evidence that ancient peoples came into contact with the same otherworldly beings.

141
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Ancient astronaut theorists look at the gods as extraterrestrial beings, as aliens.

142
00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:05,000
If you're talking about beings that are traveling the stars for generations, they're going to need some kind of sustenance that will sustain them during these voyages. And that appears to be what ambrosia was.

143
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Could it be that the ancient stories about ambrosia and similar elixirs were actually descriptions of a substance that extraterrestrials use to facilitate long voyages through space?

144
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And if so, was it seen as a source of immortality? Not only because of its ability to prolong life, but also because it sustained alien travelers during thousands of years in space.

145
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Perhaps further clues to the answers can be found by examining the many accounts of ancient people living far longer than the average life expectancy today.

146
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:57,000
If the biblical lifestands are extraordinary, so the Bible says that Adam lived for 930 years, that Noah lived for 950 years, that Methuselah lived for 969 years.

147
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:07,000
It seems like an odd concept, but you have many records of not just in the Bible, but all throughout history. All these other cultures also talk about this, you know.

148
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:22,000
The Sumerian Kings list, Chinese masters living to 300 years old into the 1700s. Even ancient Philippine records talk about these kings that lived long lives. It's found all around the world.

149
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Some of the stories that we hear about this drink ambrosia connect to these journeys to the celestial realm. In fact, Enoch actually describes that before he was able to go up to the heavens, he is actually anointed.

150
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:58,000
And he says it smelled like ambrosia. But the question is, was he really anointed? What if ambrosia was something that you had to take in in order to prepare for a journey to outer space? And it gave you immortality.

151
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:18,000
If ambrosia was an alien substance that could both extend life and facilitate space travel, just what was it? Something that could only be found or concocted on alien worlds? Or something that could be found in abundance right here on Earth?

152
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Santa Clara, California

153
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
June 2016

154
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Silicon Valley startup Ambrosia LLC obtains approval to begin clinical trials on an experimental treatment to reverse aging. Medical researchers inject older test subjects with blood plasma from young people.

155
00:22:46,000 --> 00:23:01,000
In an effort to improve their health and extend their lifespan, hundreds of patients sign up to participate, paying $8,000 for each liter of blood plasma they receive.

156
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:24,000
The theory is, whether it's true or not, is that by infusing yourself with the blood of younger people, you will gain a longer life because you won't have, as the commercial used to say, tired blood or old blood. You're literally giving yourself a new lease on life.

157
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Ancient Greek texts connect Ambrosia with divine blood called Icor. And the concept that blood can impart immortality is white spread, found in legends of vampires and even historical accounts of human blood sacrifice.

158
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Is it possible that blood, and particularly human blood, has life-sustaining properties far beyond our current understanding?

159
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:05,000
When it comes to the issue of extraterrestrials and blood, there's one scenario, the idea that the aliens may actually take blood.

160
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Now, that's not completely out of the question. The main reason being, it contains iron, proteins, nutrients. In other words, it'd be the classic important item for aliens to dine upon.

161
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:39,000
But we cannot do that without causing extreme damage, possibly even death to ourselves. That sort of suggests possibly also that blood is an item of the extraterrestrials and not of us.

162
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Does human blood possess life-sustaining properties far beyond its function inside the body? And if so, could the substance known as Ambrosia be flowing through the veins of every human?

163
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:11,000
As far as many ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is yes. And they suggest that this profound notion was first conveyed to humankind more than 2,000 years ago by a man named Jesus.

164
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Vatican City

165
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
2019

166
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Thousands of pilgrims bow their heads as Pope Francis performs the liturgy of the Eucharist and consecrates the offerings of bread and wine.

167
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:43,000
According to church historians, the ceremony's roots lie in the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples, shortly before he sacrificed his life on the cross.

168
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:52,000
As he passed the bread, Jesus said, take this and eat it. It is my body.

169
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:08,000
And as he passed the wine, he said, drink this. It is the blood of the Covenant. And out of that moment, at a meal, grew a great ritual, a ceremony, a sacrament that is repeated to this day around the world by millions of people.

170
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:25,000
In the Roman Catholic tradition, during the Mass, the priest is empowered by the prayers that energize the bread and the wine such that they become transformed or transubstantiated into the living presence of the body and the blood of Christ.

171
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Transubstantiation is one of the Catholic Church's most exalted mysteries.

172
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Catholics are encouraged to believe that through this miracle, somehow, these ordinary wafers and ordinary wine become the blood and body of Jesus.

173
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Could this rite of turning bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus really have other worldly origins?

174
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Isn't it interesting that we have numerous traditions around the globe telling us that blood is the substance reserved for the gods?

175
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Now we have to ask, is there a connection between the ritual of the Catholic Mass and extraterrestrials?

176
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Maybe it's possible by imbibing certain bloods, the extraterrestrials are actually able to extend their lifespans to incredible degrees.

177
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:42,000
So when Jesus talked about the blood of the Covenant, just maybe Jesus was talking in a symbolic fashion when he talked about how wine and bread sustains us, but something very, very different sustained him.

178
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:49,000
That the wine that sustains us is the parallel of the blood for Jesus.

179
00:27:50,000 --> 00:28:07,000
If alien beings have been coming to Earth for thousands of years, is it possible that they have evolved to a point where they do not physically consume food in the way that humans do, but are able to draw sustenance from certain energetic substances, like blood?

180
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:16,000
And does the ritual of communion provide a clue as to how humankind must evolve in order to become like the gods?

181
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:23,000
When we think of food, we immediately have that image of a hamburger, french fries, and there you are munching away.

182
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,000
But I'm a physicist. We realize that the essence of food is energy.

183
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:35,000
And energy can exist in many, many forms, so think of widening your possibilities.

184
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Any time there's a source of energy, there's a possibility of using it for food for an alien species.

185
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Myself, I think these things are really possible, and maybe there is something there.

186
00:28:48,000 --> 00:29:00,000
But at the same time, the story of the Eucharist being created in the upper room is one of the most profound and beautiful stories I know, and I prefer to think of it that way personally.

187
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:08,000
For centuries, theologists have debated the origin and meaning of the Eucharist, but it is not an entirely unique ritual.

188
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:18,000
And ancient astronaut theorists suggest that a similar ceremony established in ancient India provides further clues as to the nature of alien sustenance.

189
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Soma is this huge thing in the early Indian tradition, the Rig Veda, the earliest Hindu text.

190
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Talk about this. So Soma is this drink that gives the people who consume it the powers of this God, or the thoughts of this God, the abilities there.

191
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Soma was brought to humans by Agni, the fire god. The same story you have with the holy wine or the Eucharist, and it's like somehow we are being helped by these beings through these different substances.

192
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
I find that really fascinating.

193
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000
They have a saying in the Rig Veda that if you drink Soma, you see God and you connect with God.

194
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
But they also said it promoted immortality and longevity as well.

195
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Ancient people are drinking this special drink of Soma, and they're drinking the blood of the gods.

196
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And so we look too at the Catholic concept of transubstantiation, where the body and the blood of Christ are then in these wafers and wine that we drink.

197
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:36,000
And you have to wonder if even that is an old relic of the early Soma rituals.

198
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Is there an extraterrestrial inspiration behind both the rites of communion and the ancient rites of Soma?

199
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Were they intended to teach us vital lessons about longevity and perhaps point the way to our own future as a space-faring people?

200
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And if so, might there be other stories of other food substances humans were given to eat or drink that point to an alien agenda for mankind?

201
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Toronto, Canada, June 6, 1998.

202
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,000
During an international book tour for communion, his best-selling account of his own alien abduction,

203
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,000
author Whitley Streber receives a visit at his hotel room from a mysterious being.

204
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:38,000
I had a 45-minute conversation with him. Then he gave me a glass of liquid to drink.

205
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:52,000
It was white and I didn't want to drink it, but he insisted that I do it. Somehow or another, I did it. It was extremely bitter.

206
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:02,000
And the next thing I knew I was waking up in the morning. I thought maybe it's some kind of alien potion, but recently I did some more research on it.

207
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:12,000
And I found that it was in the past called the Milk of Nepenthe. It was first mentioned in the poet Homer's writings.

208
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Then it was known throughout the ancient world. No one was really sure what it is, but the symptoms described are just like what I experienced.

209
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Nepenthe is something that makes people forget, as it did me.

210
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Homer, the legendary 8th century B.C. Greek poet, mentions Nepenthe in his epic poem The Odyssey.

211
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Plato writes about a similar substance in his book Ten of the Republic.

212
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:51,000
The drink was said to help humans fall into profound amnesia and forget the trauma of their encounters with the gods.

213
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Encounters that today we might call alien abductions.

214
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:11,000
It was also given to people who had gone to Mount Olympus and been with the gods on their way down so that they would forget what they had seen and they would not want to commit suicide.

215
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:22,000
In Greek mythology, every time it was given to someone, they would forget anything that happened to them in the last 48 hours.

216
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Now what's interesting is that modern-day abductes talk about the same thing.

217
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:41,000
So my question is, is it possible that extraterrestrials are giving substances to people in order to forget what has happened to them?

218
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:50,000
If extraterrestrials have been using some type of drink to cloud the memories of humans, they come into contact with. What is the purpose?

219
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Is it simply to spare them the trauma of an alien encounter? Or could it be to hide the fact that they are extracting blood?

220
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found by examining the most important moment of extraterrestrial intervention in human history.

221
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,000
New York City, 1976

222
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:26,000
After spending 30 years deciphering the Sumerian language, researcher Zechariah Sijin publishes his book, The 12th Planet.

223
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:38,000
In it, he proposes that a race of extraterrestrials known as the Anunnaki genetically modified ancient primates in the distant past turning them into modern humans.

224
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:51,000
In his book, Zechariah Sijin dealt at length with the Sumerian creation stories, the Atrahasis and others that tell of these beings, the Anunnaki, putting their image on humanity.

225
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:59,000
That they genetically altered a proto-human to create a new race of beings, Homo sapiens.

226
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:11,000
According to Sijin's translation of the Sumerian cuneiform writings, the Anunnaki produced the first successful Homo sapiens around 250,000 BC.

227
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:30,000
While scholars in the 1970s dismissed Sijin's theory, in the 1980s anthropologists traced the mitochondrial DNA of all modern humans to a common female ancestor living in Africa roughly 250,000 years ago.

228
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Geneticists call her mitochondrial Eve.

229
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
We were wise, but now we're even wiser, just like that.

230
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:50,000
And geneticists to this day cannot quite figure out, well, what was that ping that changed that virtually happened overnight?

231
00:35:51,000 --> 00:36:02,000
So when you have these weird examples where stuff essentially happens overnight, I'm suggesting this was done due to an artificial mutation.

232
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Researchers following in Sijin's footsteps have noted a largely overlooked aspect of the Sumerian cylindrical seal depicting the celebration of the first successful human experiment.

233
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:24,000
The scene features a figure stirring a jar and another holding a flask directed at their original creation.

234
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Many associate the scene with the biblical account of the temptation of Adam and Eve.

235
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Adam and Eve, before their encounter with this bright snake, this talking serpent, who is equated with Enki in the Sumerian tradition, this genetic engineer that came from another world and altered our human DNA, that before this event Adam and Eve pretty much lived like primitive or primite type beings.

236
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Could the story of Adam and Eve's transformation be a memory of the moment our genome was altered by an extraterrestrial race as proposed by Sijin?

237
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:15,000
And if so, was that alteration done by mechanical gene splicing in a laboratory as 21st century technology might do it today?

238
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Or could it have been accomplished in a far more sophisticated way?

239
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:28,000
By simply giving our ancestors some highly advanced alien substance designed to transform primates into people.

240
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Here's the story of Adam and Eve living blissfully in this idenic garden and just watching the sunset and having sex and not doing a whole lot.

241
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And then suddenly this serpent being comes to them and offers them some special food to eat and they completely change into what we would call modern people.

242
00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:07,000
And here we have, through the intake of food, we have a fundamental change and in a sense an evolutionary leap from primitive humans to more modern humans who are more aware of themselves and their surroundings.

243
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Did extraterrestrials alter life on Earth to create sentient beings and then use amnesia inducing substances in order to keep them from knowing the facts behind their alien origins?

244
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that as humans begin to take their next evolutionary step into space, the veil of ignorance will soon be removed.

245
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:52,000
220 miles above the Earth. Researchers on the International Space Station are currently testing an advanced hydroponic system to make food.

246
00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Utilizing artificial light and a water-based nutrient solution, the microalgae contained within the unit takes in carbon dioxide breathed out by the astronauts.

247
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:13,000
The process allows the microalgae to quickly multiply and produces a continuous supply of nourishment on board the craft.

248
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:31,000
We breathe in oxygen and we get our carbon dioxide, but in a hydroponic farm you have plants growing in liquid and it takes in the waste products of human combustion and expels oxygen as a consequence.

249
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,000
That would give you a self-sustaining ecosystem to maintain the human body.

250
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:51,000
NASA is experimenting with hydroponic machines that enable the astronauts to grow a kind of microbiological algae that is reminiscent of the manna from the Old Testament.

251
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Could it be that's our own manna machine?

252
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:05,000
As manned missions to Mars are within our grasp, logistical obstacles like how to sustain the crew must first be overcome.

253
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Could the solution be found not only by altering the substances we bring with us into space, but by altering ourselves?

254
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,000
We can conceive of entirely new kinds of life forms based on energy.

255
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:38,000
So food is the energy that fuels us, but it's a real possibility that as we start to explore outer space, we may have to genetically modify ourselves to alter our diet so that we ingest different forms of energy.

256
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:52,000
When we look back at these unusual foods of the gods, you have to wonder if that is not a direction that we have been meant to go in to become a space-faring race ourselves.

257
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:01,000
So everything has come full circle here from ancient times and these unusual foods of the gods to what we're doing today.

258
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:14,000
I think this entire phenomenon of aliens, of food, of mysterious drinks is one of the most important when it comes to us engaging with them.

259
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:22,000
And it may well be the case that that is the primary way in which we can actually have some sort of communion with them.

260
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:32,000
As we evolved into a space-faring species, will the concept and function of food take on a new meaning for humanity?

261
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Perhaps the intriguing evidence of how aliens may have survived on Earth will provide a roadmap to our own future.

262
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:48,000
It will open up new possibilities and new ways to sustain ourselves for much longer time spans.

263
00:41:48,000 --> 00:42:02,000
It will allow us to venture deeper into space, colonize new worlds and create new versions of ourselves as we continue to follow in the footsteps of our alien ancestors.
