1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
An incredible eyewitness account of unidentified flying objects.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So it wasn't just one light, it was a series of lights.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
A sensational report of an alien crash.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
They have the debris out here in the hangar area.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Ancient depictions of extraterrestrial visitation.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I'm arguing that what we are looking at here is someone visiting from the sky.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
For more than a decade, ancient aliens has followed investigators across the globe

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:44,000
as they've gone directly to the sites where unusual, unexpected and unexplained incidents have been reported.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Now, we take a look back at the most extraordinary encounters.

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Encounters that according to ancient astronaut theorists,

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
reveal overwhelming evidence of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000
On ancient aliens, we've traveled around the world investigating extraordinary encounters with UFOs,

13
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
strange beings and other unexplainable phenomena.

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
But make no mistake, alien encounters are not simply a modern day occurrence.

15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
They've been happening for thousands of years.

16
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And when I visited the Mediterranean island of Sardinia,

17
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I found some of the most compelling evidence that I've ever seen.

18
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Sardinia, Italy. May 2018.

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Suclos, is meeting Oak Island treasure hunter Marty Lagina

20
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
to explore the island's mysterious legends of other worldly visitors.

21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Giorgio, how crazy is this place?

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Isn't this something so great to meet you here in Sardinia?

23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
To begin their investigation, Giorgio and Marty travel to the National Archaeological Museum in Collieri,

24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
where some of Sardinia's oldest and strangest artifacts are on display.

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
It's just all weird. And that this helmet on, those weird eyes.

26
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Featured in the museum's collection are a number of enormous stone statues known as the giants of Monte Prama.

27
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:42,000
They were first discovered in 1974, when a local farmer stumbled upon a large carved stone protruding from the ground.

28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Archaeologists quickly took over the site, recovering more than 5,000 broken remnants.

29
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Mainstream historians suggest the statues were carved by the Nerogic people,

30
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
a civilization that is believed to have inhabited the island for 2,000 years,

31
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
emerging in 1800 BC and mysteriously disappearing around 200 AD.

32
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
But what also makes the statues so mysterious is the strange way in which the faces are carved,

33
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,000
not so much resembling humans, but what some might describe as robots.

34
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000
The giant statues found at Monte Prama were approximately 7.5 to 8 feet tall.

35
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
You have warriors and boxers and archers.

36
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
The statues themselves are just noted for their size.

37
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And it's thought that they represent the Nerogic people, that this is actually what we might have that looks like them.

38
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
If he's a model of that, why doesn't he have disguise?

39
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Because he doesn't have disguise, and he certainly could.

40
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000
What I find intriguing is that the giants of Monte Prama, although they were discovered in the 1970s,

41
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
were not put on display until sometime near the year 2000.

42
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And I believe that the statues simply do not conform to the conventional archaeological narrative on the island,

43
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000
and instead point to the reality that there was something very unusual happening on this island.

44
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
This is very human, except it has weird eyes and disproportionate eyes.

45
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
When you look at these stone figurines, they are extremely peculiar.

46
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They give the impression of actually being giants.

47
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:41,000
The strange things about the statues is that they have these very strange circular eyes

48
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
that almost give them an otherworldly feel.

49
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
After their visit to the museum, George Yon-Marty

50
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
meet at a nearby restaurant with archaeological tour guide Maria Paola Loe

51
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
who is offered to share with them some of Sardinia's local legends.

52
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
How are you? Ciao, pleased to meet you. Welcome to Sardinia.

53
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
That's you. Fantastic.

54
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Yeah. Okay. Did you go to the museum? We did.

55
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Oh, yeah. Tell me what you think about the finds that are displayed there.

56
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I mean, up until about six months ago, I had no idea about these statues here.

57
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
So now, when I saw these statues of the gigante for the first time

58
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
not only did the eyes remind me of C-3PO from Star Wars

59
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
but also there are these giant eyed statues in Tel Azmar

60
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
from the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian times.

61
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Originally, the archaeologists and also scholars who mentioned the New Rajic civilization

62
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
said that these people probably arrived from Mesopotamia.

63
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
So the Anunnaki wrote...

64
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
The Anunnaki?

65
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
The race of winged giants has described in ancient Sumerian texts

66
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000
and frequently depicted on the temples and icons of ancient Babylon?

67
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
There are a lot of connections between the Sardinian language

68
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
and the different languages of Mesopotamia

69
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
suggesting that the Sumerians did actually come to Sardinia.

70
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
They would have brought with them the traditions to do with the Anunnaki,

71
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,000
the gods of heaven and earth, which many people believe were celestial beings.

72
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Might the mysterious giants of Monte Prama have been inspired by encounters

73
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
with extraterrestrial visitors?

74
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
The ancient astronauts not only say yes,

75
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
but they believe that dozens of carved stones found scattered across Sardinia,

76
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
known as Menhir's, tell the story of how these beings arrived on planet Earth.

77
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,000
During their trip, George Yu and Marty arranged to meet with archaeological guide Ibanamalu

78
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
at the Menhir Museum in Likoni to get an up-close look

79
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
at some of these strange standing stones.

80
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Look at the very strange circle with the spear.

81
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
What do you think Marty, what is there?

82
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I'm not sure what that is and I'm not sure what this is either.

83
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Now you tell me, please, what should I be seeing?

84
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It's a guy going down to go into another dimension.

85
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Do not ask me where or which are the war,

86
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
but he's going on a trip on a journey going from point A to point B.

87
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Whenever it really symbolizes it was very important.

88
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
This took an enormous amount of work, just this.

89
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
I mean, it's very heavy.

90
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
It's done in relief, which is the hard way to do a carving.

91
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I think it's a...

92
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
What do you think that represents?

93
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
We have people with two wings on each side.

94
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
You know, it's almost like an early version of some type of an angel.

95
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I'm arguing that what we are looking at here is someone visiting from the sky.

96
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,000
You know what I find beyond fascinating is this shape down here,

97
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,000
which mainstream archaeology suggests is some type of a weapon, some type of a dagger,

98
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
which makes perfect sense.

99
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
But in conjunction with this symbol right here and that,

100
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,000
one could argue that this is a representation of some type of misunderstood technology

101
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
that illustrates some type of a flying craft.

102
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Fascinating.

103
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Is it possible that the imagery carved onto the manhirs of Sardinia,

104
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
as well as the stone giants of Monte Prama,

105
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
tell a story of extraterrestrial visitation in the distant past,

106
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

107
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
And if so, could these mysterious figures be the same beings

108
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
that some people believe are visiting mankind today?

109
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a modern-day report of a crashed UFO.

110
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
When it comes to extraordinary encounters, we are living in the most exciting time

111
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
because governments all around the world are finally admitting

112
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
that there are unidentified aerial phenomena that simply have no conventional explanation.

113
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
But this hasn't always been the case.

114
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And when I visited the site of a UAP report in Wales,

115
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,000
I was completely blown away by what the government tried to cover up.

116
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
San Dreslo, Wales, January 23, 1974.

117
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Late in the evening, this quiet rural village in the Burwin Mountains

118
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
is wracked by an enormous explosion.

119
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000
14-year-old Hugh Lloyd is in his home watching television when he feels the impact

120
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
and then receives call after call from his neighbors,

121
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
most claiming to have seen an incredibly bright light falling from the sky

122
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
and then glowing on the mountain side.

123
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Today, Hugh Lloyd still works on his father's ranch in San Dreslo.

124
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Are you Hugh?

125
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Yep.

126
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Ancient astronaut theorist, George Osuklos and Nick Ho,

127
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
a former UFO investigator for the British Ministry of Defense,

128
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
met up with Hugh to get his take on what really happened that night.

129
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Can you tell us your experience?

130
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Well, I was home with my two sisters and my neighbor.

131
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
We were basically watching television and it was just like a thud.

132
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
The next thing, the whole place started shaking quite violently.

133
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
You know, this was like a tremor.

134
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
And then we were all a bit stunned and the phone started ringing.

135
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
So neighbors and things, you know, saying, what the hell was that?

136
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Are you OK?

137
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
You put the phone down and then the neighbor with the phone.

138
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Your neighbors called you to ask you if you're OK,

139
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
so they pretty much had similar experiences?

140
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Oh, yes, yeah.

141
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
So you're not the only one?

142
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
No.

143
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
What time of evening was this?

144
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
It was roughly 20 to 9.

145
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
So, you know, some people have suggested that, well,

146
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
it was nothing else but an earthquake.

147
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Yeah.

148
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Which I don't subscribe to this idea,

149
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
but have you had any earthquakes around here?

150
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Nothing like that, no.

151
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
But at the time, they were trying to say that the lights people had seen

152
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,000
were people with what do you call them, lamping, you know, after foxes and rabbits.

153
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
But you saw that light and it was much, much brighter

154
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
than people lamping.

155
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Yeah.

156
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
I mean, it was something almost blinding.

157
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Well, I've never seen a light like it before

158
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
and I've never seen anything like it since.

159
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Wow.

160
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
The community of Sandri Slav was shaken by the mysterious event,

161
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
which became known as the Burwin Mountains Incident.

162
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
That night, dozens of residents called the region's emergency line

163
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
to report a bright light followed by a mysterious object

164
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
seen streaking across the night sky.

165
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Curiously, approximately 30 minutes after the reports were made,

166
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
a police officer arrived at the home of eyewitness Hugh Lloyd.

167
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
There's a knock on the door and there was a police officer there.

168
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
And he said, this has been a reporter with plain crash.

169
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
And I remember our neighbour saying, oh, he's quite important.

170
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
He's got pips on his shoulder.

171
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Right, so a senior officer.

172
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Not one of the local.

173
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
No.

174
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Because the police turned up.

175
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
I just assumed there was a plain crash here, you know?

176
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
A plain crash?

177
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
For Nick Pope, who worked at the Ministry of Defence

178
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
and has seen the file on this incident,

179
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
this is a surprising new detail.

180
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000
The official report only mentions a meteor and nothing about a plane.

181
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
The theory initially that this was a plain crash

182
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
and that this police and military operation

183
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
was a search and rescue or search and recovery,

184
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
that's fine.

185
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
But I mean, you know, we know where our planes are.

186
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
There is 24-7 radar coverage, civilian aircraft.

187
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Even back then?

188
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Yeah, absolutely.

189
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Planes don't just drop out of the sky.

190
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
And if they do, immediately everyone knows which aircraft it is.

191
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
So it seems odd.

192
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Yes.

193
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And I remember the inspector saying,

194
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I don't know the exact word,

195
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
I'd like to commandeer your land rover if you can,

196
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
to take us up there.

197
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
The officer commandeered the family's truck

198
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
and drove with Hugh to the crash site.

199
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Nick and Giorgio were taken on the exact same journey

200
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
that was made that night.

201
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
How high is the mountain?

202
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
At the very top, about 2,800 feet.

203
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
You know, one thing that struck me is

204
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
this is a pretty difficult drive.

205
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
So you've got to be pretty determined

206
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
to get a whole bunch of people up here.

207
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Yes.

208
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
And for what purpose?

209
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Unless it's really something of importance.

210
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Yeah, this is not to be undertaken lightly, is it?

211
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
No.

212
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
According to Hugh, the police inspector

213
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
directed him to stop at this spot.

214
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Although the inspector was allegedly not familiar with the area

215
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
and seemed to have no reason for doing so.

216
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
It was at this location that Hugh witnessed

217
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
an incredibly bright light in the distance.

218
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
So down there?

219
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
You're both to the left there.

220
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
OK.

221
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Just over there.

222
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
There's a little clump of trees to the left of the valley.

223
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
That's where the lights were.

224
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
When this light appeared, did it seem to you

225
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
as if it was an explosion?

226
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
No.

227
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
This was definitely a very strong white light from the ground.

228
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
And how long was it shining for?

229
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
No more than 15 seconds.

230
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
According to Hugh, the inspector wanted to get a closer look

231
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
at the mysterious light, but then received a curious command

232
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
from his superiors.

233
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
He asked me, can you take the vehicle with a source of lightess?

234
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
So we went back down that way a quarter of a mile,

235
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
and turned left on the track, and then this radio message came

236
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
and said, come back with the first light.

237
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
So it sounds like it was a stand down call?

238
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Yes.

239
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
That bugs me to this day if they were looking for the crash site.

240
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Why?

241
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
When you were half a mile away from where we wanted to go,

242
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
they were called down?

243
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Yes.

244
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,000
This makes sense.

245
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
In the days following the incident, Royal Air Force personnel

246
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
scientists, journalists, and UFO enthusiasts

247
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
combed the surrounding land and interviewed locals at length.

248
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Curiously, the official explanation for these events

249
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
provided by the Ministry of Defense did not include

250
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
either Fox hunters or a plane crash,

251
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
as was told to Hugh that night.

252
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And the story they did provide involves an incredible coincidence.

253
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
The story is apparently that there was an earthquake

254
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
that hit the village.

255
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,000
But at the same time, there was a bright fireball meteor

256
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
breaking up in the Earth's atmosphere.

257
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000
So not one extraordinary event, but two at exactly the same time.

258
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Over the years, the UFO community has become convinced

259
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
that this was indeed a UFO crash,

260
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
that the military launched a secret operation

261
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
to secure the crash site, to recover the wreckage and maybe bodies,

262
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
and to take it to a secure facility.

263
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
More than four decades since the Burwin Mountains incident,

264
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
the residents of Sandry Sloe are still convinced

265
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
that the British government is hiding the truth

266
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
about what really happened that night.

267
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,

268
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
it is part of a global effort to keep the public in the dark

269
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
about alien activity on Earth.

270
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
And it all started after the U.S. Army itself reported the crash

271
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
of a flying saucer.

272
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
On ancient aliens, we have covered some pretty incredible encounters,

273
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000
including the most famous of all, the Roswell incident in New Mexico.

274
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000
And one of the most exciting places I've ever visited

275
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
was the airplane hangar where some say the wreckage from the Roswell crash was taken.

276
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Washington, D.C., April 2011.

277
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:16,000
The FBI releases thousands of files as part of its online FBI vault.

278
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,000
One particular file draws the attention of the media and independent researchers.

279
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,000
The memo, dated March 22, 1950, is a briefing to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover

280
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:38,000
regarding informed information about three flying saucers that were recovered in New Mexico.

281
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Investigators immediately connect the memo to the infamous Roswell incident,

282
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
a reported UFO crash that many people believe was covered up by the military in 1947.

283
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
But this document is just the latest in a series of government files

284
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,000
that have been released in recent years, suggesting there may be more to the Roswell crash

285
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
than the public was told.

286
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
As an investigative reporter, I think what I am amazed by

287
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:22,000
is how many leaked documents from the 1940s have actually come out into the world

288
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
and lay out details about what really happened at Roswell.

289
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
On July 4, a rancher named Mac Brazzel finds a new man,

290
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000
finds all kinds of strange silver debris.

291
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000
He knows he doesn't understand what he's walking through.

292
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,000
He decides to go into Roswell and tell the sheriff something has crashed on my ranch.

293
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Intel, coming out of Roswell Army airfield,

294
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
get assigned to go to the debris field.

295
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
And these men are told that they are to pick up every single thing

296
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
that is in the debris field on the Mac Brazzel ranch.

297
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Everything is to be picked up.

298
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:16,000
On July 8, 1947, the headline on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record

299
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
reports that the military had retrieved a flying saucer.

300
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
But the following day, the official story is suddenly changed

301
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
to suggest it was nothing more than a failed weather balloon.

302
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Roswell was the home of the 509th bomb group.

303
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
This was the only atomic bomb capable squadron anywhere in the world.

304
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
These people were the best of the best.

305
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
The idea that intelligence personnel at this base would mistake a weather balloon

306
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
for something exotic is preposterous.

307
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
So that, arguably, is the start of the UFO cover-up.

308
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
The world was told, nope, just a weather balloon.

309
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:11,000
And for more than 30 years, that's where it was left, until witnesses started to surface,

310
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,000
saying no, it was actually an extraterrestrial craft and that people saw alien bodies.

311
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:27,000
In April of 2014, ancient astronaut theorist George O'Souklos

312
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
traveled to the Roswell International Air Center in New Mexico

313
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
to meet with the city's mayor, Dell Journey, and to get a rare look at the hangar

314
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,000
where the Roswell wreckage and extraterrestrial bodies were allegedly first taken.

315
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Wow.

316
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
This is huge.

317
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
So what do you think?

318
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Man, I have goosebumps right now.

319
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
I mean, we're walking on history.

320
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000
It's amazing, isn't it?

321
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Are you familiar with where this spot is?

322
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Well, you know, the information that I have says that it's probably right over here in the corner.

323
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
They took him over there, did an examination of the bodies.

324
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
So this is where it was.

325
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
This is it. Yeah, come on in.

326
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,000
They had the debris out here in the hangar, and they bring the bodies inside this room.

327
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
I really don't know what to say, because I mean, if this was it,

328
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,000
you're standing where extraterrestrial beings might have been.

329
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Where did the debris go? Where did it end up?

330
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Well, it ended up with the government, of course.

331
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
My understanding is it took the bodies to Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

332
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Certainly, it probably took the debris as well, and have it well preserved

333
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
in a military installation someplace.

334
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Is it possible that an alien craft really did crash in Roswell

335
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
and was covered up by the U.S. government as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

336
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Perhaps such encounters are harder to ignore when the witness is running for president

337
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
of the United States.

338
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
On Ancient Aliens, we have examined the most extraordinary encounters on record,

339
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000
and believe it or not, there are thousands of new UFO sightings reported every year.

340
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Of course, skeptics dismiss these accounts as misinterpretations or outright hoaxes.

341
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000
But on one episode of Ancient Aliens, Nick Pope investigated a UFO sighting

342
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
made by a witness who's as credible as it gets,

343
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:52,000
because this witness went public with his encounter while running for president of the United States.

344
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 30th, 2007.

345
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
During the Democratic primary debate at Drexel University,

346
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
moderator Tim Russert turns and addresses presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.

347
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Congressman Kucinich, a serious question. Shirley McClain writes in her new book

348
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,000
that you sighted a UFO over her home in Washington state

349
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,000
that you found the encounter extremely moving, that it was a triangular craft.

350
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Now, did you see a UFO?

351
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I did, and the rest of the account, it was an unidentified flying object, okay?

352
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
It's like it's unidentified. I saw something.

353
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Now, and also you have to keep in mind that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO

354
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs

355
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
and I think approve of George Bush's presidency.

356
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
The debate moment made national headlines.

357
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
While Kucinich was not a front-runner, many political commentators proposed

358
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,000
that this admission undoubtedly had a negative impact on his campaign.

359
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:12,000
I think for most people it's been the notion that you are even discussing UFOs,

360
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
tends to be viewed as a career ender.

361
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,000
You know, people think you're a little bit wacky if you're taking the phenomena seriously.

362
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
What just what did Dennis Kucinich experience?

363
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Seattle, Washington, February 2020.

364
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Former British Ministry of Defense UFO investigator Nick Hump

365
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,000
has arranged to meet with Dennis Kucinich at the location of his 1982 UFO encounter.

366
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,000
The former home of Academy Award-winning actress Shirley McClain.

367
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
The home, which has since been sold, overlooked Mount Rainier.

368
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
The sight of the infamous Kenneth Arnold Flying Saucer incident

369
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
that ignited the UFO craze in 1947.

370
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Hey there, welcome.

371
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
The current owner agreed to allow Nick and Dennis to take a look around.

372
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Come on in.

373
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Thank you.

374
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Wow.

375
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Yeah, really?

376
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
What a fabulous view.

377
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Oh, look, there's nothing like this.

378
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
This is, of course, the location where you had your UFO sighting.

379
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Can you tell me about it?

380
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Well, Nick, I was seated at a dinner table with myself and two friends.

381
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And I noticed a light in the distance came from the hill directly over the house.

382
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Come on, let me show you, OK?

383
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
OK.

384
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Wow.

385
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,000
So I was standing out here.

386
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
The scope was here.

387
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:44,000
I brought it up here so that I could get a look at the light.

388
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
And when I looked at it, I saw it wasn't just one light,

389
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
it was a series of lights, like a grid.

390
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
One stacked on another.

391
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
I went back and I looked.

392
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
And then I saw something that was extraordinary.

393
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000
I said, the lights were separating.

394
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
They were definitely moving in this direction.

395
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
So at that point, came right to the edge here.

396
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And I looked out into the hills to watch what proved to be three crafts moving in this direction.

397
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Just to be clear, first scene over there to directly over the house.

398
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Right, right in the hills in the distance.

399
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
And then in a straight line, that straight line would just go right overhead here

400
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:32,000
and then above the house and then quickly accelerating out of sight.

401
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Just like that, gone.

402
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
And that was the last you saw or thought.

403
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Oh, yeah.

404
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000
The next day, Kucinich described the experience to Shirley McClain.

405
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,000
He would say nothing more about it for 26 years.

406
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
And then when running for the Democratic nomination in 2008,

407
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000
his private UFO sighting would become a public event

408
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,000
affecting presidential politics in a most unexpected way.

409
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000
When the question was asked, I think there was mention of, you know,

410
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000
feeling almost an emotional connection that it spoke to you.

411
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
I mean, not in a literal sense, but feelings.

412
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
I don't know that I ever communicated that to anyone,

413
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
but I will tell you this, that it was extraordinary, it was exciting.

414
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
How could it not be?

415
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I mean, anybody who would see anything like that would have to be excited.

416
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
And was I? Yeah.

417
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,

418
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
accounts of UFO sightings from high-level politicians like Dennis Kucinich

419
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
are particularly intriguing.

420
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Not only is he seen as a credible witness,

421
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
but he was so amazed by what he saw

422
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
that he was willing to risk his political career to talk about it.

423
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Perhaps the only encounter more compelling would be one reported by multiple witnesses

424
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000
that involved not a UFO, but an alien entity.

425
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
On Ancient Aliens, we have traveled the globe

426
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000
investigating reports of incredible encounters.

427
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
And there are some locations that seem to be hotspots

428
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
for strange and unexplained activity.

429
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
In 2020, William Henry got the rare opportunity

430
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,000
to visit one of these hotspots where for hundreds of years,

431
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
people have reportedly seen otherworldly beings.

432
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:37,000
November 2020, ancient astronaut theorist William Henry,

433
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
along with author and historian Dustin Neff,

434
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000
set out to explore a series of underground lava tubes

435
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,000
known as Pluto's Cave several miles north of Mount Chasta.

436
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
That is just spectacular.

437
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000
It is here where numerous eyewitnesses claim to have encountered mysterious beings.

438
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,000
As well as seen evidence of possible interdimensional portals,

439
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Pluto's Cave is one of several natural wonders

440
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000
known as lava tubes that crisscross the region.

441
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Mount Chasta is a volcanic mountain.

442
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:23,000
So volcanic lava tubes are formed when you have fast flowing lava

443
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:29,000
and it cools on the surface of the flow, so it actually builds a crust.

444
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000
But the lava continues to flow in the middle

445
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
and it forms nearly a tube.

446
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Check it out, man.

447
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Awesome.

448
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Awesome.

449
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Most all of the mythology and legends around the place,

450
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,000
it all takes place underground in caves and tunnels which surround the area.

451
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
If you are able to look underground,

452
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
you would just see tunnels radiating out in every direction.

453
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
There are actually native authored stories

454
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
that you could travel clear into Oregon completely underground.

455
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Yeah, look at that, Dustin. That's awesome.

456
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Beautiful skylight.

457
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
There's a really big subculture here in Mount Chasta

458
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:27,000
that is always believed that these caves and tunnels contain civilization.

459
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Full of people just like you and I, and they come back and forth

460
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
through portals hidden in these caves.

461
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
I've had people actually contact me and tell me they've seen people

462
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
in this very cave walk right into a wall and vanish.

463
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
What were these people like? What did they look like?

464
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
They looked just like us.

465
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,000
That's how they're able to travel back and forth in mingle with humans.

466
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Wow.

467
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
One of the most famous reports of a being emerging from within Mount Chasta

468
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000
was made in 1930 by Guy Warren Ballard.

469
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Ballard, a mining engineer who worked in the area,

470
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000
claimed he was surveying the slopes of the mountain

471
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000
when he encountered a mysterious glowing figure.

472
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Guy reported that when he was hiking on Mount Chasta in the early 1930s,

473
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
he encountered some extraordinary mysterious teacher,

474
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
which he later identified as the Ascended Master.

475
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,000
This is a radiant being dressed in white,

476
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
and they get into a long conversation.

477
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
And this teacher, this guru, this other worldly character,

478
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
teaches Ballard the secrets of enlightenment.

479
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000
For ancient astronaut theorists,

480
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Ballard's description of a radiant being is reminiscent of accounts

481
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
from ancient times of similarly luminous figures.

482
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
In Irish legend, we learn of the Tuatha Dadan, or the Tuadadan.

483
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,000
These are luminous humanoid beings who are considered to be beings of immense wisdom

484
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
who are also called the Shining Ones.

485
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Similar to the Shining Ones of the Celtic tradition,

486
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:23,000
the ancient Sumerian gods known as the Anunnaki were also described as glowing figures.

487
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Might these accounts, including those made about Mount Chasta, be true?

488
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
If so, can William Henry find any evidence to help verify them?

489
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
If you look on the USGS charts,

490
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,000
there's an immense negative magnetic anomaly that surrounds Mount Chasta.

491
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
That's the lay line they describe here, right?

492
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Yeah, a lot of psychic and paranormal phenomena actually occurs in places that have magnetic anomalies.

493
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:55,000
And used as a portal between the inner earth realm and the stars?

494
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Yeah, yeah.

495
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Anything capable of generating energy like that could be a portal.

496
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Might the lava tubes found at the base of Mount Chasta

497
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:14,000
be the location where extraterrestrial beings can travel between planet earth and the stars?

498
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:22,000
And if so, does this explain the strange sightings of otherworldly entities reported in the area?

499
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

500
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
and they believe that at the sight of another incredible encounter,

501
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:38,000
undeniable evidence of alien contact was left behind by an extraterrestrial technology.

502
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Of all the unexplained phenomena we've investigated on ancient aliens,

503
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
the formation of crop circles is simply baffling.

504
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Crop circles have been reported in over 50 different countries and on every continent except Antarctica.

505
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:09,000
And one night in Wiltshire, England, two people believe they actually witnessed a strange formation being created by something that was not human.

506
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Sonsbury, England, July 7th, 2007.

507
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Local paralegal and crop circle researcher Gary King spends the night camping out on Nap Hill,

508
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:28,000
an area known for sightings of mysterious orbs and other strange occurrences.

509
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,000
It was the 7th of July, 2007, so because it was an auspicious date, the 777,

510
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
we decided we'd come here, I came here with my girlfriend to do a night watch.

511
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,000
So we arrived here, and at about three o'clock in the morning, we had a big white flash of light which completely encompassed the sky.

512
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:51,000
And about 20 minutes after that we looked and we could see this crop circle laid out in front of us.

513
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
The field it appeared in was this field here to the right that's yellow now.

514
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
It was actually in wheat the year that it occurred, but they rotate the crops.

515
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,000
And it started from way back near those trees and came over the brow of this hill.

516
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
It was absolutely enormous.

517
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:15,000
The crop formation extended 1,033 feet long and 490 feet wide.

518
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:25,000
The over two acre design contained 150 individual circles, the largest 164 feet across.

519
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,000
I have no idea what made it. I'm completely open to the fact that it could be aliens.

520
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,000
What I do know though is that people didn't make this.

521
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Gary King's experience is just one of many first-hand accounts of designs that mysteriously appear in a short period of time.

522
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:55,000
And crop circle researchers cite that many of these eyewitness accounts include sightings of strange lights in and around the formation.

523
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:06,000
In 1991, local photographer Steve Alexander caught on camera an orb of light floating above a crop formation in Wiltshire, England.

524
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
What is it?

525
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:17,000
His camera caught sight of what seemed to be a white orb of light flying right across this field right next to a crop circle.

526
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,000
That orb of light, whatever it was, flew directly over a tractor working in the next field down.

527
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
And later on that farmer was contacted and he said,

528
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:35,000
I saw this weird orb of light about the size of a melon or something fly over my tractor.

529
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:45,000
I was so intrigued by Gary King's story and the bizarre events surrounding the crop circle phenomenon that I had to go see it for myself.

530
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Wiltshire, England, May 13, 2015.

531
00:37:50,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Ancient astronaut theorist George Osukulos is meeting with crop circle researcher Dr. Eljo Haselhoff to discuss a scientific paper Dr. Haselhoff published in January of 2000,

532
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:11,000
suggesting that the crop circle formations might be created by an unknown electromagnetic energy source.

533
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:20,000
By measuring the length of the growth nodes found along the plant stems within a crop circle and comparing them with the nodes on the undisturbed plants in the field,

534
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Dr. Haselhoff was able to predict what he thinks could be creating this phenomenon.

535
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:34,000
So you've actually done scientific analysis on some of those formations, so what were some of your conclusions?

536
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:40,000
The hypothesis is that somehow electromagnetic energy is involved in the creation of these crop circles.

537
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:47,000
And that somehow this energy causes node elongation, so the nodes and the stems get longer.

538
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
The more energy, the longer the nodes are.

539
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:59,000
And that is very interesting because all you need to do is take a cross-section across a circle like this and measure the node length in each of these positions.

540
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000
And actually this is what you see. This is at the perimeter. See these nodes, these dark areas. This is somewhere halfway and that's in the center.

541
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
So you see there's a huge difference in the node length.

542
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
I mean it's a huge, I mean this is fascinating, this is incredible.

543
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,000
It is not just a little bit.

544
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Okay.

545
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,000
There's a difference in size between a horse and an elephant. It's very, very significant.

546
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Yeah, I mean what would do this? That's quite weird.

547
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Well in this case it was very interesting because this crop circle actually had an eyewitness when it was formed.

548
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
And the eyewitness says, I saw a ball of light and it was standing still.

549
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:45,000
And that is very important because when the ball of light is standing still we can very accurately predict how the energy will be distributed on the ground.

550
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:51,000
We know that there will be more energy in the center and the more energy the longer the nodes are.

551
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
And in this case it was a perfect mesh.

552
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Wow.

553
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Amazing, isn't it?

554
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Now this is where I get the goosebumps because clearly there is something there and no one denies that many of them are man-made but then there's something bizarre.

555
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Do you have any idea how or who might be behind it?

556
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
That's a very difficult question.

557
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:28,000
What I can say about that is, I don't know.

558
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,000
So it is something that remains a giant question mark.

559
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Absolutely, yes.

560
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Does Dr. Hasselhoff's scientific research provide evidence that not all crop formations are the product of hoaxers?

561
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:54,000
And if so, could there be an otherworldly origin to them as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

562
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Each and every one of the extraordinary encounters we've investigated on ancient aliens truly defies conventional explanation.

563
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:12,000
And when you examine them together it becomes abundantly clear that we are not alone in the universe.

564
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,000
These events can no longer be explained away as weather balloons or hoaxes.

565
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
So what are we left with?

566
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,000
To me, there's only one answer.

567
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Exeterrestrial visitation.
