00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
On this edition of Sightings, what's inside Hangar 18?

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,880
UFO researchers believe there are alien bodies.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,840
We have the bodies from the crack.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,440
Then a family turns to a psychic to find their daughter's killer.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,760
We think Dorothy is going to give a police the leads to solve this case.

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,760
Later, is it chance or can you control luck?

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,320
It's got a funny feeling and I won $7 million.

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,320
It's incredible.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,200
Also, when we die, where does our soul go?

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,880
These people share a wondrous vision.

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:38,560
He led me into a ballroom filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, all of whom had gathered for a party.

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,840
Plus, a Michigan woman is abducted by aliens and now heals the sick.

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,600
She has abilities that are not like anything else I've seen before.

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
And was there once life on Mars?

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Maybe we're all evolved Martians.

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Music

17
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,400
Welcome to Sightings.

18
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,120
I'm Tim White.

19
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,400
There have been persistent rumors that alien wreckage and remains from Roswell, New Mexico

20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,920
were stored in Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,720
In the 1960s, responding to the rumors, then Senator Barry Goldwater asked former Air Force

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,640
Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay what's inside Hangar 18.

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,120
According to Goldwater, LeMay said, don't ever ask me that question again.

24
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,280
But Sightings is asking, what is inside Hangar 18?

25
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Music

26
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,480
But where are these incredible things today?

27
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,200
There is a long and voluminous paper trail of evidence that points in one direction, that

28
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,400
points to a top secret location known as Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base

29
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,360
in Dayton, Ohio.

30
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Many UFO researchers believe that at one time, wreckage from Roswell and other UFO crash

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,600
sites as well as the bodies of alien beings were brought here for underground storage.

32
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Of course, the Air Force denies these charges, but ufologists counter that their denials

33
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,320
are a prime example of the fox watching the henhouse door.

34
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,920
Music

35
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,080
But why Hangar 18?

36
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,160
When there were desert bases much closer to the original crash sites.

37
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,080
Why truck the wreckage to a base thousands of miles away?

38
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,920
There were several advantages to using Wright Patterson, according to Professor Michael

39
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:06,520
Swords.

40
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Wright Patterson had several elements associated with it.

41
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,800
It had a standard Air Force base at Patterson Field, and it had a high technology testing

42
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280
facility at Wright Field.

43
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,800
In between the two fields, it also had something unique to our government, and that was the

44
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,760
technical intelligence organization, so-called T2, or what became the Foreign Technology

45
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Division.

46
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,920
During the Second World War, T2, the Foreign Technology Division, would receive crashed

47
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,240
German rockets and aircraft.

48
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Their job was to reverse engineer the craft.

49
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,160
T2's quarters were allegedly far underground in a maze of secret laboratories at Wright

50
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Patterson.

51
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,160
This is the sort of division that would have been appropriate to use for the investigation

52
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:56,440
of UFO research and ultimately became the home for Project Sine in Blue Book.

53
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,860
Rumors of UFO secrets being kept here have become part of Dayton, Ohio folklore.

54
00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:06,400
In a series of news reports, local anchor Carl Day set out to determine if any of the

55
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,880
rumors were true.

56
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Well, recently we investigated the rumors about Hangar 18, and in particular the Roswell

57
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,480
connection to Wright Patterson.

58
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,480
In July 1947, eyewitnesses at the Roswell crash site saw military personnel load wreckage

59
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,800
onto trucks and carted away.

60
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,480
Destination unknown.

61
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,960
We found that the wreckage from Roswell probably, at least part of it, did arrive at Wright

62
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Patterson at that time.

63
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,800
What happened to it?

64
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,400
We couldn't find any record of that.

65
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,480
We found that was sort of interesting.

66
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,920
If, as the Air Force maintains, the wreckage was a weather balloon, why would it be transported

67
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,080
via secret convoy from Roswell to Dayton?

68
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,200
And once there, why would all record of a weather balloon retrieval disappear?

69
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,440
The answer may lie here with Alfred Lutting, an engineer who, upon his retirement from

70
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,960
T2, received a U.S. patent for this strange flying saucer design.

71
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Al Lutting could have been influenced in his design by an alien type of technology because

72
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,800
when you look at his design, it is a low aspect sort of ellipsoid shaped craft with

73
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,920
two tiny tabs on the back that was taken extremely seriously by the Air Force.

74
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,200
It was during Letting's tenure at Wright Patterson that the Air Force conducted Project Blue

75
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Book.

76
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,720
It's only publicly acknowledged UFO study.

77
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,840
Ufologists believe Blue Book was simply a cover, designed to divert attention away from

78
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:35,920
the real work going on deep underground.

79
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,240
According to the nephew of then deputy head of procurement Jack Donahue, autopsies were

80
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,200
being performed on humanoid, but not human, creatures.

81
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,160
My uncle Jack had a top secret security clearance when he worked at Wright Patterson the complete

82
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,160
time.

83
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:59,360
The strangest story that he ever accounted to me was the day that he asked me if I had

84
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,440
heard of a UFO crash out in Phoenix, Arizona.

85
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,440
He said we have the bodies from the crash.

86
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,200
He said we went down to the cold storage area.

87
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Donahue allegedly told his nephew that he was led down a series of twisting hallways

88
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,560
to a secret room.

89
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,920
There was a stainless steel table in this room that was arranged a little bit like a laboratory.

90
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,080
The man said look at this.

91
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Jack looked at the body.

92
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Jack told me that at the time they were doing full autopsies on the bodies.

93
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,760
The head was shaped basically like a human head only it was small.

94
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,840
He said we better not spend very much time here and they left the room.

95
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,200
I tried to bring it up at a later date.

96
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,360
He said forget him.

97
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Just forget about the whole incident.

98
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,880
And I said what do you mean forget it?

99
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,840
He said just forget it.

100
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,840
It never happened.

101
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:03,120
There are still people that absolutely believe that alien bodies and UFO wreckage are still

102
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,000
here on this base and that the bodies are kept in cryogenic suspension somewhere underneath

103
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,400
right field.

104
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Legendary UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield investigated Hanger 18 for close to 50 years.

105
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,720
In a rare interview just prior to his death in 1994, Stringfield told sightings that

106
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:27,080
he had been able to track the progress of wreckage and alien bodies retrieved in several

107
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,120
different parts of the southwest.

108
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,800
In the beginnings some of them were shipped to areas in Los Alamos and the western sensitive

109
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,560
areas from Albuquerque on down to Los Alamos and the whole region of New Mexico.

110
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,920
And often time for further analyses or study why they were sent to Wright Patterson.

111
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:54,800
I was told by one intelligence source here some years ago that they had 30 alien bodies

112
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,920
underground at Wright Patterson field alone up to 1966.

113
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,840
And reports persisted well into the next decade that alien bodies were still being stored

114
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,840
at Wright Patterson.

115
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,480
One of the most interesting discoveries I think has to be the alleged alien jawbone that we

116
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,000
uncovered.

117
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Officials within the Air Force intelligence community have told me that they had determined

118
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,440
back in the 70s, possibly before that, that this was an alien jawbone.

119
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480
I can't have anybody go on record however now is saying that.

120
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,360
I think the Air Force is hiding a lot of things.

121
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,760
They are developing here on this base a lot of super secret weapon systems for the future.

122
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,360
Those should be kept secret.

123
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,360
They did issue a statement though that there are no aliens or UFO pieces on this base now.

124
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:49,080
At the end of the 1950s three aeronautic engineers left what was then Wright Field and returned

125
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,840
to civilian life.

126
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,440
Within one year all three applied for patents with the U.S. Patent Office.

127
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,120
All three wanted to patent flying saucer designs.

128
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,600
We'll have more on those patents on an upcoming edition of sightings.

129
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Next, after a brutal crime remains unsolved, police turned to a psychic for help.

130
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,600
When the police asked me a question, right then and then I'm seeing a picture.

131
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,600
Dorothy Allison uses her psychic ability for one purpose and one purpose only.

132
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,840
She solves crimes.

133
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,040
Just recently she was able to locate the body of a murder victim in Vancouver, Canada when

134
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,320
law enforcement thought that they'd reached an impasse.

135
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Now a family in Monticello, Iowa is hoping Dorothy can help.

136
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Perhaps a psychic hunch will finally put their family tragedy to rest.

137
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,960
The killer was down in this basement.

138
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,960
I feel that the killer was in the basement first and then he come upstairs.

139
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,960
So this is the bedroom I believe where she was killed.

140
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,960
This is the spot I see.

141
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:05,960
22 year old Kathy Jo Cox-Bulkin was murdered the day after Christmas 1993.

142
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,960
Kathy's death haunts everyone in tiny Monticello, Iowa.

143
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,960
A killer is still at large.

144
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:17,960
The police are running out of leads so they met with psychic detective Dorothy Allison at the request of sightings.

145
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,960
My first phone call to Dorothy kind of put the hair up on the back of my neck.

146
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:28,960
She had mentioned the name of a person we had talked to and she had no idea, you know, who we were dealing with or anything else.

147
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,960
And right away kind of makes things a little eerie and...

148
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Dorothy's psychic impressions of the crime begin to come out as soon as she arrives in Monticello.

149
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,960
She and Chief Walters move quickly to follow up on the explosion of images racing through Dorothy's mind.

150
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,960
This is where I feel the person that killed Kathy hangs out in.

151
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,960
When the police ask me a question, right then and there I'm seeing a picture.

152
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,960
The killer somehow comes along this path.

153
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:06,960
Monticello, population 3,500, is a small farming and factory town unused to the big city horrors of rapid crime.

154
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,960
The last time someone was murdered here was in 1974.

155
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Kathy's parents, who own a popular convenience store in town, recall how they discovered that their daughter was dead.

156
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:24,960
We had a call from one of our customers at about 8.30 that morning, the 26th of December,

157
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,960
and said, do you know your store isn't open?

158
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,960
After failing to get his daughter on the telephone, he went to her house.

159
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Just pushed down the door, the door wasn't latched and walked in and yelled her name two or three times, no answer.

160
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,960
And walked back to her bedroom and...

161
00:11:49,960 --> 00:12:02,960
When I did go over there, they were coming back and they met me and he just jumped out of the car and said, we've lost her.

162
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Kathy left behind one son, Michael, now four years old.

163
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,960
Michael's father can't understand why anyone would kill Kathy.

164
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,960
She's such a good-hearted person.

165
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,960
She was down to earth and I don't see where...

166
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,960
She didn't have a bad bone in her whole body.

167
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,960
She was just good.

168
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,960
She always was smiling and nothing really bothered her or got to her.

169
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960
A down-to-earth person.

170
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Among the images confronting Dorothy is a hunting lodge with horses nearby.

171
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,960
Chief Walters takes her to a location just outside of Monticello that matches her psychic vision to a tee.

172
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,960
He's absolutely from here.

173
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,960
And somebody she knew, this is not a stranger who walked in on her.

174
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,960
But I do think her murder was planned.

175
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,960
I don't think it just happened.

176
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,960
I think this person was angry with her, very upset.

177
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:07,960
Our hopes are really up because we think Dorothy is going to give the police the leads to solve this case.

178
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,960
I get the feeling she met this person around June or July from, you know, in the very beginning.

179
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,960
I think this person was angry with her, very upset.

180
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,960
And I believe she insulted him in many ways.

181
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,960
And he took whatever she said as a big insult.

182
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,960
Dorothy's visions continue to match people and places familiar to the local police.

183
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,960
They ask Dorothy to work with a sketch artist to build a composite of the killer.

184
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,960
His hair is medium brown, potted to the right.

185
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,960
His eyes are spread far apart.

186
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,960
Trying to make him younger looking too.

187
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,960
You know, late 20s, early 30s.

188
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:57,960
And I remember a girl that used to work behind a convenience store counter at her father's store that her life's been snuffed out.

189
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,960
We need to bring justice to her crime.

190
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,960
And we're going to have our killer behind bars.

191
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,960
We have to know who did this.

192
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,960
We have to know he's put away.

193
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,960
That he's paying his penalty.

194
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960
He took our joy away. He took our hope away.

195
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,960
You have to survive every day.

196
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,960
And he did destroy Kathy, but we can't let him destroy us.

197
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960
He didn't destroy Kathy's spirits.

198
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,960
He lives on through all of us.

199
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,960
And through her son Michael.

200
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Here is another look at the man Dorothy Allison believes murdered Kathy Joe Bullkin.

201
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:47,960
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Monticello, Iowa Police Department.

202
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Next, when we die, where does our spirit go?

203
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,960
We went back to a teaching pod.

204
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,960
What we were doing was bringing each other up on our previous lives.

205
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,960
The Circle of Life is more than just a hit song from a popular Disney movie.

206
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,960
It is the tenet of a number of religions that embrace the concept of reincarnation.

207
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,960
And for believers, the Circle of Life is a way of explaining what happens after we die.

208
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,960
We simply go back to the place we were before we were born.

209
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Some describe it as a waiting room for the soul.

210
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,960
Is death an overture or the final curtain?

211
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Buddhists believe that after death we all walk a passageway from one lifetime to the next.

212
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:40,960
That passageway is called Bardo, a place where your karma, the sum total of your life's good and bad deeds,

213
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,960
determines your next incarnation.

214
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,960
In Catholicism, there is also a place between heaven and hell where souls are evaluated.

215
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:55,960
Catholicism certainly has the very definite teachings about purgatory.

216
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,960
And purgatory people usually think of it in negative terms. It's a very positive thing.

217
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,960
I mean, you're on the outskirts of heaven. You're sort of in the suburbs of the divine city.

218
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Father Stephen Frost is a Catholic priest and a renowned religious scholar.

219
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:22,960
I think the idea of a state that exists after death that is not the ultimate experience quite yet,

220
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:29,960
probably, well, I can't say as old as human consciousness, but certainly is right there in the beginning.

221
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,960
But how can we know that such a place exists?

222
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,960
Catholics know because they have faith, but others say they know because they've been there.

223
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:45,960
When I floated away from my body, I looked down. I don't mean to insinuate that I still had a body and had eyes,

224
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:52,960
but I could see everything around me. I could see that there was a woman who was crying and as I got higher.

225
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,960
I see in the distance there is something that I am going towards.

226
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:02,960
I come up to it and as I approach it, the shapes become more and more distinct.

227
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,960
Colleen Monaghan believes that she had reached the very threshold of an afterlife.

228
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,960
The vision occurred while she was exploring her past lives under hypnosis.

229
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:21,960
I could see that it was a person who was very tall and dressed in a robe, rather like a monk.

230
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:33,960
And as I got even closer, probably as far as you and I are away right now, about two feet,

231
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:40,960
I realized that this person was waiting for me.

232
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Richard Wood is a real estate developer in Northern California.

233
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,960
He does not know Colleen, but their recollections of a waiting room for the soul are almost identical.

234
00:17:51,960 --> 00:18:01,960
As I was pulling back from the body that I had just left, I experienced coming into this bright whiteness.

235
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:09,960
And as it felt like as I turned around, there was my spirit guide to meet me at that point.

236
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:17,960
Colleen and Richard are both clients of Dr. Michael Newton, a noted hypnotherapist and past life researcher.

237
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:29,960
A spirit guide is an individual entity who is very, very old and who is the first intelligent being to meet people after death.

238
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Dr. Newton lives in Grass Valley, California.

239
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:39,960
His book, Journey of Souls, contains case studies that he's compiled over the past 10 years.

240
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:47,960
I have learned that when we speak of a spirit guide, we are talking about a higher entity which is a teacher.

241
00:18:47,960 --> 00:19:05,960
And so he led me into a ballroom, a huge ballroom filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, all of whom had gathered for a party.

242
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,960
And every single one of them in a good mood, jolly, happy to see me.

243
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Hi, how are you? Where have you been? It's good to see you back.

244
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:27,960
After my spirit guide Arn and met me, we went back to a teaching pod, which is a gathering or a group of other spirits that I'm a member of.

245
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:36,960
According to Dr. Newton, the teaching pod that Wood describes is a common thread among those who claim to have experienced this prelude to the afterlife.

246
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:44,960
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a room without anything in it, a room without walls.

247
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,960
I know you don't want to do this, but it's true, and this is what this place looked like.

248
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,960
So what goes on in these classrooms is essentially lesson learning.

249
00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:07,960
They review the lives just lived and how they compare to lives that they have lived before, and lives which are to be lived in the future in terms of what still needs to be learned.

250
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:16,960
This is a place that souls go to to be restored, and that is exactly what we need after living.

251
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:26,960
The ultimate goal of a soul is to really stop reincarnating because they have in fact learned all the lessons that they were intended to learn.

252
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,960
They don't need physical bodies anymore to achieve this information.

253
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Dr. Newton has come to believe that his clients must serve as messengers for the afterlife, and their message is one of hope and renewal.

254
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:48,960
The most dardling or incredible thing that I learned from my research has to be the fact that there is a God.

255
00:20:48,960 --> 00:21:00,960
This experience has made me fall in love with my own life because I know who I am, and I know that you are just as important and complex and wonderful as I am.

256
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:13,960
It's allowing me to see for myself in my own life that there's no death, fear for me as there was previously.

257
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:21,960
I think the important thing is that we create these symbolic sort of dramas ourselves,

258
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:33,960
whether they're dream experience or vision experience or different types of poetic experience that takes us into touch with things that are eternal.

259
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:47,960
When I walk through an old cemetery like this, I think of these departed souls, and it's comforting now in light of all of the years of research I've spent to know what really happened to them,

260
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,960
and that they are happy, and many of them have gone on to new lives.

261
00:21:53,960 --> 00:22:01,960
Skeptics debunk reincarnation by pointing out that there are more living people on the earth right now than have ever died.

262
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,960
So there just aren't enough souls to go around.

263
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:14,960
But believers counter that reincarnation is only one of many methods by which we achieve that supernatural energy known as the soul.

264
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,960
Coming up, an entire family is abducted by extraterrestrials.

265
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,960
My husband woke up on the table being examined by three grays.

266
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,960
Then, can you control luck?

267
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,960
I've seen myself winning the lottery twice.

268
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,960
Later, is there life on Mars?

269
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,960
It is the sheer terror that people recall most vividly when describing what they believe has been an alien abduction experience.

270
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:50,960
But now, some abductees are claiming that along with the momentary terror, they are experiencing a profound and positive long-term effect.

271
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,960
I woke up in the middle of the night, and I felt that there was someone alongside of the bed.

272
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:11,960
And I reached my right hand out, and I touched the shoulder of someone who was probably the size of a five-year-old.

273
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,960
I was paralyzed. I couldn't move. It was total terror.

274
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960
She has asked to use the pseudonym Judy.

275
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,960
She does not want viewers to know who she is, only what she is, an abductee.

276
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:31,960
Her terror began in 1989 and came to light after a local paper invited readers to call in with their UFO experiences.

277
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,960
She was very frightened. That came through loud and clear.

278
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,960
Reporter Holly Cogan knew Judy's call was different.

279
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,960
When I spoke with Judy, she came across as a very honest person.

280
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,960
I had no reason to think that she was doing anything but saying what she believed.

281
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:58,960
So I went out to her home with the expectation that it was going to be interesting and legitimate.

282
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:07,960
Cogan's resulting article described a woman with a history of multiple abductions and vivid recollections of encounters with small, gray creatures.

283
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,960
It was almost as though they were saying, ready or not, here we come.

284
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:21,960
But I didn't know at the time what was going on because I didn't know about alien abductions.

285
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,960
The impact of abductions on people's lives is a very powerful one.

286
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:35,960
At Eastern Michigan University, sociology professor Dr. Ron Westrom has studied the impact of the abduction phenomenon on individuals and on society as a whole.

287
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:44,960
The person adapts and they somehow manage to work it into their life until every so often something happens to them that makes them suddenly confront.

288
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,960
This really is happening. This is not just a dream. You can't just dismiss it.

289
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,960
For months, Judy's family did not believe the bizarre story she was telling them about her abductions.

290
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,960
But then, without warning, the terror that had isolated her from the family began to spread.

291
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:03,960
Now her husband and sister claim that they were being abducted too.

292
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:11,960
What was once a single case of alien abduction, and now become, with researchers term, a multiple cross-generational family abduction.

293
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:26,960
My husband and I had problems. We came close to a divorce over this until he woke up on a table being examined by three grays.

294
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:34,960
This is something that we didn't ask for. We didn't want. And it's totally changed our lives.

295
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,960
One night I went to bed and I had brushed my hair before I went to bed.

296
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:49,960
The next morning I woke up and was doing my hair and my hair had been cut to like an inch in certain spots on my head.

297
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,960
And I went in and checked my pillow. There was no hair on the pillow.

298
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,960
And nobody in the household had been in my bedroom that night.

299
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,960
Jane, like her sister Judy, has grown to accept this as evidence of her abduction experience.

300
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,960
I just didn't bother really trying to figure out. I just took it that I had visitors.

301
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,960
You know, I've grown up with it. It's like, if you grow up with a limp, you get used to it.

302
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,960
The phenomena seems to be centered around me.

303
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:29,960
And a little curiosity with the other family members. But the bulk of the phenomena is directed at me.

304
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Judy believes that strange grass rings in the backyard are further evidence of UFO contact.

305
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,960
We noticed that in the wintertime they would be bright, lush green.

306
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:49,960
The patterns have expanded where there are rings joining rings and different designs.

307
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:59,960
Dr. W. C. Levengood, a prominent research biophysicist known for his study of crop circles, was brought in to examine the unusual formations.

308
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:08,960
In the lush green areas, the respiration of the grass is entirely different or out of phase with the normal grass.

309
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:18,960
There is a definite indication that there's electromagnetic energy involved in the formation of the circles and its effect on the plants.

310
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,960
Where does this anomalous energy come from? Could it come from an alien craft?

311
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,960
We have a lot of intriguing data, but I think we've just scratched the surface.

312
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:34,960
We do not understand yet how these energies are put together.

313
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:41,960
Although much of what Judy has experienced over the past five years is already familiar to abduction experts,

314
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,960
she reports one astonishing incident that falls outside the typical abductees experience.

315
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,960
I woke up and there was a gray by my side, left side.

316
00:27:51,960 --> 00:28:01,960
And he was putting in what appeared to be laser type objects in my brain.

317
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,960
He put one in each temple, one here, and one in the back.

318
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:16,960
And I was told that I would have an energy and that I would be able to help people who are ill.

319
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Some abductees feel that after the return from abduction event that they have increased power, psychic powers or healing powers.

320
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:32,960
This is extremely unusual. Judy has felt that she has the ability to have a therapeutic touch, so to speak.

321
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:39,960
And this might certainly be true. It's something that we can't dismiss out of hand and it might be related to the abduction phenomenon if true.

322
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,960
This has got to be very scientifically and objectively investigated.

323
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:52,960
Judy claims that she has helped hundreds of patients through her healing touch, including one woman who had a painful disease called shingles.

324
00:28:52,960 --> 00:29:03,960
After about three minutes I noticed I was beginning to feel very warm and the area under her hands was intensely warm.

325
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,960
And then my whole body began to feel tingly and just relaxed.

326
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:16,960
And gradually the nausea and the sickness was just disappearing even in 12 hours.

327
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:24,960
The disease, which can plague some people for a lifetime, disappeared. Mary believes it was Judy's touch that helped cure her.

328
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,960
I think Judy did help with the illness. I think she speeded up the process.

329
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:37,960
And I firmly believe that she has abilities that are not like anything else I've seen before.

330
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:45,960
Judy believes that the terror she experiences during her abductions is the price she has to pay for her healing powers.

331
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,960
The peace that came to people that were getting the treatments.

332
00:29:51,960 --> 00:30:01,960
I saw physical ailments that were being healed and I decided that this is something that I should do.

333
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:11,960
Whether or not you believe that Judy has been repeatedly abducted by aliens, the fact remains that she is now providing a very important service to the second dime.

334
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,960
While the source of her new outlook is debatable, the positive outcome is not.

335
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:23,960
Next, he may be the luckiest man in America, but do we all have the same undiscovered abilities?

336
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,960
I won $7 million. It's incredible.

337
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:40,960
The odds of winning the lottery may be more than one in a million, but every week people plunk down their hard-earned cash in the hope that this time they'll be the one.

338
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,960
This time they'll be that lucky one.

339
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,960
But is it simply luck that turns a wishful thinker into an instant millionaire?

340
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,960
Or is there a supernatural way to turn the tables in your favor?

341
00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,960
According to the dictionary, luck is random, a spontaneous event out of conscious control.

342
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,960
But lucky charms, talismans and superstitions suggest that humankind has a different definition.

343
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,960
It means different things to different people.

344
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:16,960
I believe that the conventional notion of luck is happiness, good fortune.

345
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:25,960
A research psychologist at the University of South Alabama, Dr. Vitulli has studied both the psychological and mathematical components of luck.

346
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:36,960
I think another aspect of luck that can't be ignored is the more statistical view in which luck is a product of a series of random events.

347
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,960
I'm living happy today. Today I'm a wealthy man and I can do whatever I want. Travel, whatever.

348
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Many people consider Bernie Bobowitz the luckiest man on earth.

349
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:53,960
His latest streak of luck started in 1985, when Bernie bought three New York State lottery tickets.

350
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:01,960
Checking the first ticket, I took a pen and I automatically started circling winning numbers.

351
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,960
Then I realized I had five winning numbers on my first ticket.

352
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,960
So I checked the second ticket and it was the same numbers again.

353
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,960
I only think it was one digit different.

354
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,960
And I'm counting one, two, three, four, five, six.

355
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,960
I said, this is incredible. It can't be.

356
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:26,960
Going to the rest of my tickets, I have another ticket with four. Three winning tickets. Incredible.

357
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Bernie hit the jackpot to the tune of three and a half million dollars.

358
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,960
He was that one in a million lottery winner. And a few years later, he won again.

359
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:43,960
I happened to be going through my mother's old Bible and I got these numbers out of the Bible.

360
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:50,960
And I just got a funny feeling. Bernie played them. I did. And I won seven million dollars. It was incredible.

361
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:58,960
Is Bernie a multi-millionaire because he had a psychic hunch? Or is he somehow blessed by a higher power?

362
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,960
Statisticians say he is neither.

363
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,960
I think as humans we need explanations for things that happen to us.

364
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:11,960
And when we attach words like luck or fate or words like that,

365
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,960
we're simply trying to explain things that we can't explain any other way.

366
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,960
As a professor of statistics at the University of California at Davis,

367
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Jessica Utz specializes in the study of chance and probability.

368
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,960
I think a lot of luck is paying attention, applying what we know about increasing your probability of having good things happen to you

369
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,960
or decreasing your probability of having bad things happen to you.

370
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,960
I also think that using your intuition can increase what we call luck

371
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,960
and I think we have a lot of information in our minds that we're not even aware of.

372
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Bernie agrees that it was his intuition that made him a millionaire.

373
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:53,960
I've seen myself winning the lottery twice. It happened. I see I'm winning it third time.

374
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,960
Not only a third time, but even a fourth and fifth time. I can see this.

375
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,960
And it will happen. It definitely will happen.

376
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,960
If we assess the probability that he could win three times, the odds are incredibly remote.

377
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:17,960
Nevertheless, this individual may personally assume that their chances are much better than others who haven't won.

378
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:23,960
This individual has been reinforced and rewarded for their ventures

379
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,960
and therefore they're more likely to believe that they could try again and indeed win.

380
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:35,960
Remarkably, there is scientific evidence to support the theory that intuition is a significant factor in changing your luck.

381
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:41,960
In one experiment, cascading balls generate random or chance numbers.

382
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:48,960
Dr. Otz has found that some people observing the cascading balls can anticipate the numbers before they appear.

383
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Parapsychologists call it precognitive ability.

384
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,960
You can't predict the outcome, but you can assign probabilities to different outcomes.

385
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,960
The same may be true of the future, that there are probable futures

386
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,960
and that some of those futures are actually more likely than others

387
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,960
and that maybe that certain people can pick up on which of those futures are more likely.

388
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,960
Buddhism has embraced this concept and given it a name, karma.

389
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,960
Good karma or positive karma will lead to happiness, essentially.

390
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,960
But according to Dr. Tanaka, the western concept of luck bringing material wealth

391
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,960
is not the kind of luck that comes to those with good karma.

392
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:37,960
Happiness is essentially inside. Luck is something that's outside.

393
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:45,960
You can win a lottery and win a million dollars, but that does not assure happiness within.

394
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,960
So, is the converse true? Are some people bad luck magnets?

395
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,960
Danny Knew has been plagued by accidents his entire life.

396
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,960
I was a passenger in a minitruck driving down the freeway and the driver was not paying attention to what he was doing

397
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,960
and lost control of the vehicle and ended flipping the vehicle on the freeway.

398
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,960
I almost felt the lightning before I heard the lightning because it was so close.

399
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,960
It was like an explosion next to me. The actual sound waves is what knocked me down.

400
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:28,960
I was probably doing 50, 55 miles an hour and just at the last minute I saw the cement culvert

401
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,960
and I crashed headlong into it.

402
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:36,960
The majority of bad luck can be explained by choices that people make that have logical explanations

403
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,960
like not wearing their seatbelt, going out during a lightning storm, that sort of thing.

404
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:48,960
And if people see a repeating pattern of so-called bad luck, they should examine what they could have done to change the circumstances.

405
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,960
Recently, Danny Knew has begun scrutinizing his past and, not surprisingly, his luck is changing.

406
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,960
If you want to make steel stronger, you put it through fire and that's how I was looking at it.

407
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,960
I don't look at it as bad luck. I look at it as some people need a strong knock on the head to wake up,

408
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,960
some people just need a little tap on the shoulder. I was the kind that needed a strong wrap on the head.

409
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,960
For some people, lucky charms are a reminder that they can change their own luck.

410
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:19,960
But Bernie Bobowitz doesn't need any reminders. While Sightings was taping Bernie for this report,

411
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,960
he cashed in a winning $300 lottery ticket.

412
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,960
I go to New York, Jersey, and then when I get up in California, I play up there also.

413
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:34,960
So no matter where I go, I'll just pay you a few dollars, just for the heck of it, and I win money.

414
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,960
Even the most hardened skeptics are reluctant to press their luck.

415
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Corporate America may not accept the reality of psychic ability, supernatural phenomena, or UFOs,

416
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,960
but have you noticed that they don't have a 13th floor in their office buildings, either?

417
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Next, what do the latest scientific discoveries tell us about life elsewhere in the universe?

418
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,960
It very strongly supports the belief that life exists on other worlds.

419
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,960
Most scientists dismiss the idea of alien life forms as utterly impossible.

420
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:17,960
But recently, a startling discovery in outer space has even some of the country's most hardened skeptics reconsidering their position.

421
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:24,960
For the first time in history, we may finally have proof that there is a spark of life beyond Earth.

422
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:32,960
We use our intellect to try to understand this universe and to try to understand our place in the universe.

423
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,960
Why do we exist?

424
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,960
The origin of life on Earth.

425
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,960
It's a question that astronomers try to answer by looking at the cosmos.

426
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:52,960
And recently, one tiny piece of the puzzle fell into place when NASA astronomers used the Hubble telescope to confirm the existence of black holes.

427
00:38:53,960 --> 00:39:00,960
And the reason this is important is that black holes are more than just some science fiction, fantastic phenomena.

428
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,960
It's our first glimpse of the edge of the universe as we know it.

429
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:11,960
As a science writer for the San Francisco Examiner, Key Davidson is continually revising his definition of space.

430
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:19,960
It's important to remember that a black hole is something that defies space and time as we intuitively think of them.

431
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,960
We tend to think of space and time as things that are absolute.

432
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:29,960
The gravitational pull is so strong that nothing can escape from it, not even a beam of light.

433
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960
That is why we call it black hole.

434
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:41,960
According to Hubble project specialist Duccio Machetto, a black hole's extraordinary gravitational pull has the ability to capture the essence of the cosmos.

435
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:52,960
We begin to get a better view, a better understanding of how the universe as a whole works, of how galaxies are formed, of stars are formed, how they evolve and how we came to be.

436
00:39:52,960 --> 00:40:01,960
Think of a black hole as a cosmic factory where raw materials are sucked in and then transformed into stars, planets and galaxies.

437
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,960
If this is true, then perhaps life in outer space can be created in the same way.

438
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:14,960
And recently, one of the raw materials of life has been discovered floating in space, an amino acid called glycine.

439
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,960
It would be sort of like finding a brick floating around in space.

440
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,960
From that you can infer the existence of brick houses in outer space.

441
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:27,960
Now we don't know for sure that this glycine means that larger amino acid structures are forming in space,

442
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:33,960
but it's a clue that the formation of the building blocks of life is a routine thing in the universe.

443
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:40,960
If the building blocks of life are to be found routinely in space, can we presume that Earth is the only living planet?

444
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,960
According to many scientists, no.

445
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Mars is the best prospect in the solar system at the moment for another life form.

446
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:55,960
Planetary scientist Jay Malosh theorizes that catastrophic collisions between celestial bodies millions of years ago

447
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,960
could have sent enormous chunks of our planet hurtling into space.

448
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:08,960
For example, the impact that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago left a crater almost 200 kilometers in diameter

449
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,960
that very well may have blown rocks off the surface of the Earth entirely,

450
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:18,960
and those rocks could potentially carry microorganisms that would then be transported through space and fall on Mars.

451
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:25,960
And if these planetary fragments carried life from Earth to Mars, eons ago, could the reverse also be true?

452
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:31,960
We have in our laboratories and museums chunks of Mars that have come to the Earth.

453
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,960
Maybe terrestrial life has its roots on Mars.

454
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,960
Maybe we're all evolved Martians.

455
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,960
But for life to exist, there must be water.

456
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,960
Geologist Jeff Cargo has found evidence that water once flowed on Mars.

457
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,960
I would say that Mars is extremely water rich.

458
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,960
Now, most of its water is in the form of ice. It's a cryogenic planet today.

459
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:03,960
There are certainly abundant indications that liquid water flowed on the surface.

460
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:10,960
And some astrogeologists believe that microbes in a state of cryogenic suspension exist under Martian ice today.

461
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Life is very imaginative, and it finds ways of adapting to an extraordinary range of environments.

462

We find living creatures in hot springs in Yellowstone.

00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,960
We find them living beneath the ice of Antarctica.
