1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In the Mojave Desert, there is a structure built of a stow,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
everlasting life.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
People were supposed to walk in one door and come out the other

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
and be healed.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
And according to the architect, it was designed by other

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
worldly beings.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
He could communicate with distant ancestors or even time travelers

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
coming and going from the earth.

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
They showed him the future, and this was his destiny.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
In your wildest imagination, you wouldn't come up with something

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
like the Integra Tron.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The dome was taking many different scientific ideas and melding

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
them together.

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Could this strange dome building really provide the heat to

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
immortality?

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
If we could figure out the Integra Tron, then for all intents

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
and purposes, we could live forever.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
There is a doorway in the universe.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Beyond it is the promise of truth.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
The evidence is all around us.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
The future is right before our eyes.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
We are not alone.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
We have never been alone.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Santa Ana, California, February 9, 1978.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Aerodynamics engineer and inventor George Vantassel is in his

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
hotel room, preparing to reveal his latest scientific discoveries

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
in a television interview when he suddenly and unexpectedly dies.

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Friends and family members are shocked when it is reported that

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
he suffered a fatal heart attack.

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Since Vantassel, at 67 years of age, was in perfect health and had

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
shown no warning signs.

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
His sister, Peggy Manio, became suspicious when she discovered

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
that the body had been cremated before she was even notified.

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And perhaps most curious of all, his wife Doris claimed that during

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
her husband's funeral, their home was ransacked and George's

37
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
papers stolen.

38
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000
As soon as he passed away, mysterious vans and trucks showed up

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
and all of his equipment and plans and drawings and a lot of his

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
writings were loaded up into these trucks, supposedly government

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
trucks, and hauled away, never to be seen again.

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
If the government found all this stuff important enough to show up

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
right after he died and hauled away, then at least some people

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
within the government believed there was something worth studying,

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
something worth looking at.

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
But what was George Vantassel working on that would elicit so much

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
interest from the United States government and even prompt family

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
members to speculate that he may have been murdered?

49
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
While Vantassel had been working on a number of intriguing projects,

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
including an anti-gravity device, his masterwork was a machine he had

51
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
built in the Mojave Desert called the Integratron.

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
It was a machine designed to extend life and perhaps even lead to

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
immortality.

54
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000
George Vantassel often quoted Corinthians 1526.

55
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
George believed that our lifespan is too short and in order to get

57
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
wisdom, we should live longer.

58
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And that was part of his motivation to create this machine, to bring

59
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
wisdom to people.

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Because just as you're getting it together, boom, you die.

61
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
If you could walk through this machine, counterclockwise, come out the

62
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
other side and be 30% younger, what more could you do with your life?

63
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000
It's in the middle of nowhere, it's incredibly flat, and there you see

64
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
this white round building with a half dome on top, and it's got these

65
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
16 sections.

66
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Integratron was made in a way that is very ideally suited for capturing

67
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
energy.

68
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
And the way George Vantassel thought of the Integratron as a battery

69
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
charger, a way to prolong life.

70
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
The basic idea behind the Integratron was to introduce a machine

71
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
through harmonics with which you then can rejuvenate your cells.

72
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Because if we could figure out a way from preventing our individual

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
cells from deteriorating or getting older, then for all intents and

74
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
purposes, we could live forever.

75
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
At the time of his death, George Vantassel had just announced that the

76
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
device he had been working on for 24 years was 95% complete and would

77
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
be fully functional within weeks.

78
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
When his house was ransacked during his funeral, the core of the

79
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Integratron and other critical components also disappeared, leaving

80
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
no question as to what the intruders were after.

81
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Those papers and that equipment, none of that has ever been seen again.

82
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Could this unusual structure located in the middle of the Mojave

83
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Desert really hold the key to immortality?

84
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
While it may sound far-fetched, many who have studied the incredible

85
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
story of George Vantassel are convinced that he might actually have

86
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
succeeded in a quest for eternal life that has endured for thousands of

87
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
years.

88
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
When we took a bite out of that apple in the Garden of Eden, we had

89
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
knowledge. The price of that knowledge was that we were aware of our own

90
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
mortality and since that day, we've been looking for that fountain of

91
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,000
youth, that way to extend our lifespan or maybe even live forever.

92
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,000
In 2018, archeologists excavating the tomb of a Han dynasty noble family

93
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
in Lu Yang, China unearthed some of the earliest evidence ever found of

94
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
human efforts to cheat death.

95
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Recently, in an archeological dig in a Chinese burial chamber, an ancient

96
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
2000-year-old bronze pot was recovered with the remnants of a substance

97
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:53,000
that was later determined was probably an elixir of immortality.

98
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Ancient Taoist texts confirmed the liquid substance to be a legendary

99
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
potion brewed by Chinese alchemists, granting eternal youth to those who

100
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
dared drink it. Lab results revealed the potion is largely made up of

101
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,000
potassium nitrate and alunite, which while not poisonous, are used in

102
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
pesticides, fertilizers and rocket propellants.

103
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
It's a powerful reminder of the fact that humans probably for thousands

104
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:29,000
of years have had this sort of desire to extend our lives.

105
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
The Han dynasty elixir is just the latest of many ancient attempts at

106
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
immortality discovered by archeologists over the years.

107
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:45,000
But what drives humankind to seek eternal life? Is it merely self-preservation?

108
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Or could there be another force at work?

109
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
One that may be connected to the fact that every ancient culture on Earth

110
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
described the gods as immortal.

111
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
In ancient Greek myths, we learn of the food of the gods, which they called

112
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
ambrosia, an immortality food. These beings possessed some form of a liquid

113
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
or an elixir that ultimately somehow altered their blood and promoted

114
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000
immortality. Some of the stories that we hear about this drink ambrosia is

115
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
when the eyewitness is taken up into the sky.

116
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
There are actual ancient Greek mythologies that describe these shiny star

117
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
islands that descend from the sky and then under their own propulsion moved

118
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:44,000
around, the entire Greek pantheon of gods is based on visiting extraterrestrials.

119
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Is it possible that humanity's centuries-old quest to attain eternal life

120
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
is fueled by a desire to become like the otherworldly beings that our

121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000
ancestors actually encountered? Curiously, there are a number of stories

122
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
from the ancient world presented not as fiction, but as historical record

123
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,000
that describe people of an earlier age living extraordinarily long lives.

124
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,000
In the Old Testament, the book of Genesis, we learn of figures like Noah and

125
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Methuselah who lived for hundreds of years, eight and nine hundred years.

126
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The Bible never tells us how they were able to live that long.

127
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
There is an artifact at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England that is

128
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:40,000
called the WB44 Kings List of Ancient Sumeria. On there, you have a chronology

129
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:48,000
of kings and the combined years of when these rulers were in charge is

130
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000
two hundred and forty-one thousand years. And on that WB44 list, you have

131
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
so-called historical figures where you actually have archaeology corroborating

132
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000
existence of those people. So in my opinion, the WB44 list is a list of

133
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000
extraterrestrial space travelers and the entire Kings List is correct.

134
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Could it be that George Vantassel and many others like him have been driven

135
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
by a deep-seated memory of a time when our ancestors existed alongside

136
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
extraterrestrials who seemed to live forever? Perhaps the answer can be

137
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
found by examining the events that led to the construction of the

138
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Integratron and George Vantassel's Alien Encounter.

139
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Standing alone in California's Barren Mojave Desert is a towering seven-story

140
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000
boulder called Giant Rock. It is here that George Vantassel's strange journey

141
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,000
began in the 1940s, just three miles from where he would eventually build

142
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,000
the Integratron. Giant Rock is a twenty-five thousand-ton boulder that

143
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
takes up fifty-eight hundred square feet and is until recently the largest

144
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,000
freestanding boulder in the world. This massive boulder has long been held

145
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
sacred by local Native American tribes who believe it to be a site of great

146
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
power. Spiritual vortexes like Giant Rock are known to be places where

147
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,000
people can have extraordinary spiritual experiences, healing experiences,

148
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,000
deep states of meditation. And what we find out at Giant Rock is that the local

149
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Native American Indian tribes, the Serrano and the Chemahuevi, would do their

150
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
ceremonies at Giant Rock but only the chief was allowed to get close to Giant Rock.

151
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000
In November of 2019, ancient astronaut theorist David Chilriss traveled to the

152
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
site of Giant Rock to meet with local historian Barbara Harris and learn more

153
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
about the inception of the Integratron.

154
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Hello Barbara. Hi, thank you for coming. Thanks for having me here.

155
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
So please tell me the story of Giant Rock. Well they say it is millions of years

156
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:26,000
old and basically this whole area here is made up of granite and many, many years

157
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000
ago there is a volcanic eruption and of course this is the product of that volcanic

158
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
eruption. What is the early story of Giant Rock then with Native Americans?

159
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Well this ground was considered very sacred by Native Americans and they would

160
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
come here and use it seasonally but they considered it so sacred that only the

161
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
shamans and the chiefs were allowed to stay here at the rock. At the turn of the

162
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
19th century the homesteading and the white men started to come in.

163
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000
And that has to do with this early prospector who lived under the rock.

164
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Frank Kreitzer, then he was responsible for building the roads to Giant Rock.

165
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
In 1930 George van Tassel had a chance encounter with prospector Frank Kreitzer at his

166
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,000
uncle's auto repair shop in Santa Monica which led to him investing in Kreitzer's

167
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,000
mining operations in the Mojave Desert. Kreitzer was known in the area for his

168
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
eccentric behavior which included using mining dynamite to blow a hole in the

169
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
bottom of Giant Rock, one big enough to live in. Van Tassel's initial ties to the

170
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000
area stemmed from a friendship forged with Kreitzer over the years.

171
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:54,000
He lived under this rock. Yes, he was actually a guy who was looking for people to

172
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:02,000
come and visit him under his rock. However Frank he also had a dark side to him.

173
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:10,000
So in July of 1942 the US government had the old man's draft and it required people

174
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
between the ages of 18 and 64 to register for the draft.

175
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000
And so he got caught up in that. Yeah, he was 54 and the local sheriffs came out here

176
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
who happened to be friends with him and offered to take him into the local town

177
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
to register for the draft. He walked into a back room and came out wearing a pair

178
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
of binoculars that had wires attached and he basically said leave me alone or

179
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
we're all going to go to hell together. And he took the two wires put them together and...

180
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Right under here then. Yes. Okay, wow. And he blew up into little pieces and one sheriff

181
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
actually one of his rib cages came off and impaled into the other one and the other sheriff

182
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
came flying out of the bottom of the rock and the other sheriff who stood out here

183
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,000
stood in shock while it all happened. Frank Kreitzer's bizarre and violent action

184
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,000
shocked the local community. Many questioned if he may have been influenced by the energy

185
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000
of giant rock itself which the local Native American tribes had warned was only meant

186
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:32,000
for sacred purposes. And according to geologists, giant rock does in fact produce energy.

187
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
The interior of the rock is white because it is primarily composed of quartz,

188
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:46,000
a mineral that generates an electrical charge when under stress as it would be inside a massively heavy rock.

189
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Giant rock is also believed to be located on top of a natural earth energy line also known as a lay line.

190
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
George Vantasel said the Integratron needed to be in a special place full of energy.

191
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
We have a coal mine right nearby. This area has lay lines and aquifers.

192
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:18,000
There's actually a mountain of quartz right here and you can feel the energy when you're here.

193
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Could electrical energy emanating from giant rock have had a deadly effect on Frank Kreitzer?

194
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Despite the horrific event that occurred at giant rock, one man was still drawn to the site, George Vantasel.

195
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Over the course of his many visits to Kreitzer's rock home, he had become convinced that it was a place of unusual energy.

196
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Now you have a vacancy under the rock. Vantasel told his wife, pack the girls, we're moving out to live under a rock.

197
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
So did the Vantasels live underneath this rock then?

198
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
No, actually most of their living quarters were outside.

199
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000
The underground area was primarily used for his channeling and meditation.

200
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So as the story goes, Vantasel had an experience.

201
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Before his death, Frank Kreitzer had transformed the nearby ancient lake bed into a small airport.

202
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:29,000
According to George Vantasel, on the night of August 24th, 1953, a craft landed on the runway that was not of this world.

203
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,000
He described the encounter in a 1964 television interview.

204
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
What did you see?

205
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:48,000
A bell shaped type of anagravity ship that they operate as a scout ship out of their big carriers.

206
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
How big?

207
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
This was 36 feet in diameter, 19 feet high.

208
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
And where was it? On the ground?

209
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:02,000
No, I was hovering 10 feet off the ground and the man got off of the ship and approached me.

210
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Did you go into this ship?

211
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I walked with him to a spot underneath it and an anagravity beam took me up through a hole in the bottom.

212
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000
While skeptics were quick to write off George Vantasel as some kind of delusional mad scientist,

213
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,000
many who knew him or have studied his work believe he was nothing short of a genius.

214
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
George was super smart.

215
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
At 14, he drops out of school.

216
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:37,000
At 17, he becomes a certified pilot, moves out west and work for Howard Hughes and then became friends.

217
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
They both had a calling to, let's say, hire or mystical or psychic experiences.

218
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:51,000
The parallels would be Edison who fought in this realm of electricity that nobody could understand,

219
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
but he somehow channeled or Nikola Tessa.

220
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000
He was so sensitized to the electromagnetic spectrum that many of his inventions just came naturally.

221
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And that may have been some place where George Vantasel came from.

222
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:16,000
George Vantasel claimed that over the course of his life, extra-terrestrials communicated with him many times.

223
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
And the most important message he received was to build the Integratron.

224
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Landers, California.

225
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
April, 1957.

226
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:40,000
An eclectic group of several hundred travelers descend upon the Mojave Desert to gather at Giant Rock.

227
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:47,000
It is here that George Vantasel holds his annual interplanetary spacecraft convention.

228
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:57,000
And while there are no paved roads or facilities of any kind, it has attracted enough attention to garner a feature in Life Magazine.

229
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,000
So George has the idea he's going to do the first intergalactic spaceship convention.

230
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
A couple hundred people show up. It's a beautiful event.

231
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Two years later, there's 11,000 people there.

232
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:25,000
The 1950s, 1960s, Giant Rock ended up being the nexus of the most highly attended UFO conferences that has ever happened in the United States.

233
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,000
The Giant Rock convention was largely responsible for fueling interest in the UFO phenomenon.

234
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,000
But for George Vantasel, it served a more important purpose.

235
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:45,000
George goes on to give these conventions for 23 years, collects donations and uses that as a way to help fund the dome.

236
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Vantasel claimed that the extraterrestrials that had communicated with him at Giant Rock

237
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:59,000
gave him instructions for building a machine that could rejuvenate cells in the human body to extend life.

238
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Perhaps indefinitely.

239
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,000
At the peak of the Giant Rock spacecraft convention attendance,

240
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:14,000
he gets an architect to draw up the plans for this vision that he has.

241
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,000
This vision of a white dome in the desert that he's going to build near Giant Rock.

242
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,000
And in 1958, they break ground and they begin work.

243
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:32,000
While many in the mainstream scientific community paid little attention to Vantasel's project,

244
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:41,000
some believe he was a visionary on the level of Nikola Tesla, who also claimed to be in contact with alien entities.

245
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,000
George Vantasel was very clearly influenced by Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American researcher known throughout the world as a genius.

246
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Contributed so much to science and electricity and innovation.

247
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Nikola Tesla published an article in 1898, and Tesla states in his article,

248
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,000
when you're exposed to eye voltage for a short period, say 15 minutes or less, you get beneficial effects.

249
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Tesla was an inspiration for rejuvenation, and this is what George Vantasel was very attuned to.

250
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:20,000
And in fact, Tesla announced that he had been receiving radio waves from extraterrestrials,

251
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
specifically messages from Martians.

252
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:31,000
So this is very similar to George's experiences, and both of them were interested in the effect of high voltage on humans.

253
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Both men were derided by the scientific community for their claims of alien contact.

254
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:44,000
But today, it is well known that electromagnetic waves have a number of beneficial effects on the human body,

255
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:51,000
including nerve regeneration, wound healing, pain management, and even treating diabetes.

256
00:22:51,000 --> 00:23:00,000
And like Nikola Tesla, George Vantasel did attract the attention of at least one government organization during his lifetime.

257
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
The FBI.

258
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:10,000
The FBI's involvement with George Vantasel, which was considerable, started in the 1950s.

259
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,000
The feds were interested in the technology that George was working with and uncovering at the Integra Tron.

260
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Declassified FBI documents confirm the bureau did, in fact, conduct surveillance on many of Vantasel's speeches and presentations for years.

261
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
He was definitely monitored by the FBI.

262
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000
They were aware of what he was doing out in the desert.

263
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:44,000
If you go back into the early 50s to the early 60s, that was the high point around the world of people seeing extraterrestrial craft.

264
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
During this time of increased UFO activity in the late 1950s and early 60s,

265
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Vantasel finally had the resources necessary to begin constructing the Integra Tron.

266
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:09,000
It is a circular plan, two-story hemispherical umbrella dome structure, 43 feet in diameter and 33 feet tall,

267
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,000
designed to facilitate cell rejuvenation by means of manipulation of electromagnetic waves.

268
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Let's talk about this picture.

269
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,000
This is a picture of the machine we're building down there.

270
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
This structure is actually up.

271
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
We're working now on the parts on the equipment that operate it.

272
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:39,000
This rim around here has armatures 57 feet in diameter, which will be better than four times bigger than the biggest armature's ever made before.

273
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
The incredible thing about the construction is there are no nails.

274
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Every piece is fit together.

275
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
All the wood, it's formed, it's shaped.

276
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
There's a little glue and then there's the fiberglass shell.

277
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Construction of the building was completed in 1960, but Vantasel would manufacture the technology to power it himself.

278
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Over the next two decades, he worked on the apparatus to achieve his goal of cell rejuvenation through the controlled manipulation of electromagnetic waves.

279
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Because it's all built of wood, it's unable to conduct electricity back to the earth.

280
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:37,000
And so there's simply this kind of swarm of electromagnetic energy within the vessel that essentially can't get out.

281
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:50,000
And so in theory, your cells, which are also electrical impulses within them, may be rejuvenated and recharged

282
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,000
so that their electrical component is not fading away as you get older.

283
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:10,000
While the Integra Tron was never finished, one man who worked closely with George Vantasel has managed to build a working model that represents the device at 95% completion.

284
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Is it possible that the key to activating the immortality machine is still within reach?

285
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Landers, California, November 2019.

286
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Continuing his investigation of the Integra Tron, David Childress has arranged to meet with Bob Benson.

287
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Hey, I'm David Childress.

288
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,000
A protege of Vantasel's and one of the only men alive known to have worked directly with him.

289
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
You knew George Vantasel.

290
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Sure did, John. I got some things I'd like to show you.

291
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Oh good, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

292
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Yeah, all right.

293
00:26:51,000 --> 00:27:00,000
In Vantasel's final years, Bob Benson helped him to publish various writings on the scientific principles behind the Integra Tron.

294
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
So I was living here at his house.

295
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000
At his house.

296
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000
At his house.

297
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Which was at the Integra Tron, wasn't it?

298
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Right.

299
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And what was he like then?

300
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Very down to earth, but he was very intelligent. He was wonderful.

301
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:19,000
While Vantasel never disclosed the full details for building his rejuvenation machine,

302
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Benson attempted to create a model of it based on what he learned.

303
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000
He didn't leave takeover instructions for anybody, so nobody knew what to do.

304
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
So I looked for the research and I couldn't find anything, so I had to go on my own.

305
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
And what I did, I said, well, I'll start by building a model.

306
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
I incorporated the things that I knew.

307
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000
This spoke thing you see here, that's an actual electrostatic generator.

308
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000
It's 58 feet in diameter.

309
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,000
It weighs 1,500 pounds and it's lifted up with air jets that are around the bottom.

310
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And then there's brushes on them.

311
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
And what they do is they generate electricity.

312
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,000
The electricity generated by the brushes travels through a wire that connects to a capacitor.

313
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:11,000
The capacitor is designed to discharge when it reaches a certain level of electricity.

314
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
It starts off very low like this.

315
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
As it goes, it builds up to a part.

316
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
It builds up, builds up, builds up, builds up, builds up, builds up.

317
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Bang! And then this comes on. This is the spark gap. This is the regulator.

318
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
See? Boom. Now it's regulated.

319
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
You walk through this little door right here.

320
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
You walk around the back of it and out the other end there.

321
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And you rejuvenate it instantly.

322
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,000
This is a rejuvenation machine sent by extraterrestrials to help human beings.

323
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
So how close do you think that George Vantassel was to completing the Integra Tron?

324
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
He says it was 95% done.

325
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Doctor of Engineering Physics Tom Vallone is an expert in what is called bioelectromagnetic healing

326
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
and has spent years studying both Nikola Tesla and George Vantassel.

327
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Based on his research, he believes the Integra Tron was decades ahead of its time.

328
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:17,000
I would say that the genius of George Vantassel is very evident in the design of the Integra Tron.

329
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:24,000
He integrated a number of technologies that were slowly being evolved over the 20th century.

330
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
The spark in the middle is the actual Tesla coil.

331
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,000
And this is designed by Nikola Tesla to not only provide for the study of high voltage,

332
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,000
but also biological benefits of being exposed to just Tesla coil frequencies.

333
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:47,000
The design we have here is the best current knowledge that we have of finishing the Integra Tron design.

334
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Considering what scientists now know about how electromagnetic frequencies and ions can benefit the human body,

335
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:06,000
is it possible that George Vantassel really was just weeks away from completing a working immortality machine?

336
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:14,000
While Vantassel was ahead of his time, he claimed to be tapping into knowledge from the ancient past.

337
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:26,000
He constantly referred to the Old Testament in regards to the references for angels and for God and the construction of the Integra Tron.

338
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,000
But he was convinced from his extraterrestrial experiences that angels were space people.

339
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Vantassel said that the instructions that he was given to build the Integra Tron were very similar to the instructions that Moses was given

340
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000
by the god Yahweh to build the tabernacle.

341
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:55,000
So Vantassel believed in ancient extraterrestrials and UFOs, and he saw all of these things as connected.

342
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Vantassel was particularly intrigued by the great pyramid of Giza,

343
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:10,000
which he believed was built to utilize the piezoelectric properties of the quartz contained within its granite blocks.

344
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,000
In the piezoelectric effect, electrical energy accumulates in rocks and otherwise lifeless matter.

345
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:30,000
We see even in George's writings that the pyramids were to him a powerhouse made of granite and therefore piezoelectric and very high energy accumulators.

346
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,000
George was convinced that the pyramid structure was designed to rejuvenate people.

347
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Vantassel had computed that the site of the Integra Tron was also in line with the great pyramids and that this area was a rare vortex

348
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:05,000
where energies from beneath and above the earth made it possible for us to be in contact with intelligences that we usually weren't able to easily reach.

349
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Could the great pyramid have once acted as a fountain of youth that enabled people to live for centuries, as is described in both the Hebrew Bible and the Sumerian King's List?

350
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:33,000
If extraterrestrials really did give George Vantassel instructions for building the Integra Tron, is it possible that they were providing humankind with a technology that existed on earth thousands of years ago?

351
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining newly discovered aspects of the Integra Tron that may reveal it had a second, even more profound purpose.

352
00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:01,000
In the year 2000, many of George Vantassel's followers were dismayed when the new owners of the Integra Tron decided to use the structure to house sound baths.

353
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,000
But others believe it brings to light a key element of Vantassel's intention.

354
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Integra Tron was made in a way that is very ideally suited for capturing energy and especially sound energy.

355
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:29,000
It has tremendous acoustic properties and the way the sound moves about and reflects off of the dome structure is really unique to this building

356
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
and comes back to the way it was constructed and the way it was made and the materials that went into producing it.

357
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:47,000
The dome of the Integra Tron enhances the acoustic experience within. This is very much like ancient temple sites like New Grains that are somewhat domed and also focus on the acoustical experience.

358
00:33:48,000 --> 00:34:04,000
It's a real mystery that it has all these beautiful sound qualities and properties to it, but it's interesting to consider that all along maybe the Integra Tron's design really was, as a sound frequency machine, more than an electrostatic generator of some sort.

359
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:17,000
It seems odd that there would be so many amazing acoustical properties to it if they weren't supposed to be there. Maybe it could have been both, both sound and using electromagnetism in its design.

360
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Although Ventassel's direct work at the Integra Tron ended more than 40 years ago, its unusual architecture continues to produce scientific revelations.

361
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,000
But if the structures acoustic and geometric properties serve a technological purpose, what could it be?

362
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:52,000
The Integra Tron is a beautiful geometric building divided into 16 parabolic arcs in the dome up top and then it's an octagon on the bottom. So it seems to be functions of 8s, 4s, 16s.

363
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:00,000
All geometrics have a sum total of their angles. Well, it also means that we are living in a harmonic system.

364
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:18,000
The sacred geometry of the Integra Tron is very unique. It is a 16 sided building. We don't see those very often. We did see one in a painting by Raphael, the marriage of the Virgin, where he shows a 16 sided tower that is thought to be Solomon's Temple.

365
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:28,000
This is very important because Solomon's Temple was the permanent home of the Ark of the Covenant. And maybe this is what Ventassel was hinting at with the construction of the Integra Tron.

366
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:37,000
The Ark of the Covenant is a device that opened up a blazing portal through which Moses or an Israelite high priest could communicate with an other world being.

367
00:35:38,000 --> 00:36:05,000
The Ark of the Covenant? The sacred object that was described in the Bible as a device with which to communicate with God? Is it possible that George Ventassel, who sometimes referred to the Integra Tron as the Tabernacle, was building a machine that would not only rejuvenate the human body but would use acoustic frequencies to connect with otherworldly beings?

368
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And it is allowing us through our mental state without ever having to make actual contact with an extraterrestrial that there is some latent design built into us, possibly intentionally, that we have a little transceiver that when we get everything right and we start playing these tones according to these exact codes and keys left behind for us, that we might open this portal of communication.

369
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Perhaps this is ultimately what Ventassel envisioned the Integra Tron doing, was being able to open up a portal or a gateway so that he could communicate with extraterrestrials coming and going from the Earth.

370
00:36:44,000 --> 00:37:09,000
If the incredible story of George Ventassel is true and he was carrying out an alien agenda, could the Integra Tron be more functional than we know? Could it be used to reconnect with the very beings he claimed to be in contact with and thereby recover the key to completing it?

371
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:31,000
More than four decades after his death, George Ventassel's Integra Tron still stands in the Mojave Desert. While the device was never finished, many still see it as commemorating a genuine extraterrestrial encounter.

372
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:48,000
When you come to the Mojave Desert, there are a couple of places you have to go. You have to go to Joshua Tree National Park, and you have to go to the Integra Tron. And people come from around the world to see it.

373
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:56,000
The Integra Tron is the center, historically, of UFO culture.

374
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:20,000
There's talk of trying to re-engineer the Integra Tron at some point in the future to have the spinning armature outside and generate this electronic field. Many scientists and physicists and experimenters have been going out there for a couple of decades now, and there definitely is something subtly going on energetically at the Integra Tron. It is still a frequency machine.

375
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:46,000
If extraterrestrials really did give Ventassel instructions for how to build the Integra Tron, might the same alien beings one day choose another human conduit to finish the project? Could it be that humanity simply was not ready to possess such powerful technology? If so, it would not be the first time.

376
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Throughout history, we have individuals who claim to have been mysteriously given information that would lead to the advancement of humankind.

377
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:11,000
In the 1400s, Leonardo da Vinci said that ideas came to him during meditation. He sketched things like helicopters and tanks.

378
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:31,000
All sorts of devices that couldn't be realized in his lifetime. In the early 20th century, the Indian mathematician Ramana Jan credited a Hindu god with giving him theorems that mystified everyone at the time, but which now form the basis of string theorem.

379
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:45,000
And then we have Nikola Tesla, who claimed that he was communicating with aliens and that he had the key to wireless energy. But he died before he could give this technology to humankind.

380
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:56,000
So it may be that in each of these cases, we were given information we weren't quite ready for, but that would be realized at some future time.

381
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:15,000
I feel very confident in the fact that this is a work of pure inventive genius. And if it's not aligned with contemporary values, that doesn't invalidate its genius.

382
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:36,000
But there's no question that something, some catalytic event, shifted his focus from being a businessman and engineer to having this vision for something almost extraterrestrial.

383
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Because of George Vantassel's mysterious death in 1978, the Integraton was never completely finished. But it's fascinating to think that George Vantassel did meet with extraterrestrials and they showed him the future.

384
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Some people have speculated that the extraterrestrial agenda is all about a continuous process of evolution to improve us, to make us more intelligent, to civilize us perhaps, to bring us to a level where perhaps one day we'll be fit to take a wider role on the galactic stage.

385
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:32,000
This phenomena that's taking place today is as old as our history. As our civilization, this isn't anything new that's occurring. They're walking among us on the earth all the time and we don't realize it.

386
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Is it possible that the Integraton provides a glimpse into humanity's future? Was George Vantassel chosen to plant the seed that will give rise to the next giant step in humankind's evolution?

387
00:41:47,000 --> 00:42:05,000
One that will lead to lifetimes that are measured not in years, but centuries. Perhaps the Integraton is more functional than it appears and only when we are able to activate it will we be empowered to fulfill our alien destiny.
