00:00Are you hearing anything about these lights that are hovering up here?
00:04They're using a flying disc out by C-17.
00:07Among the quiet towns and bustling epicenters around the world,
00:11reports pour in of unusual aerial phenomena.
00:14It shoots high into the air. It's moving in an erratic way.
00:19This is not a terrestrial craft.
00:22Flying discs, hovering orbs, strange biological substances falling from the sky.
00:27To determine what it might have been, you'd have to eliminate all the other possibilities.
00:34The sensational becomes credible once it's crowdsourced.
00:37Thousands of people claim to see these orbs.
00:41UFO hotspots light up on the map.
00:43What's made these places the target of otherworldly attention?
00:47This might be the location of the vortex.
00:50As vessels reappear in the same locations,
00:53can we use the earthly to guess at otherworldly motives?
00:56Are these mysterious visitors friends or foe?
01:00And should we fear their return?
01:02All over the world, repeat sightings of UFOs baffle researchers.
01:07UAD are in our airspace, but they are grossly underreported.
01:10A pattern begins to emerge.
01:12These sightings are not rare or isolated, they are routine.
01:15What is the meaning behind these hotspots?
01:17I can't go beyond what I've already stated publicly.
01:20The government is not prepared.
01:22Are we being mapped?
01:23February, 2018.
01:33Tensions are running high among the airspace controllers overseeing the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix, Arizona.
01:40A strange, unidentified object has captured the attention of a number of pilots in the area.
01:45A Learjet pilot is the latest to call in.
01:51Was anybody above us that passed us like 30 seconds ago?
01:56Negative.
01:57Okay, something did.
01:58The FAA seeks assistance from an American Airlines Airbus cruising through the same airspace.
02:08Yeah, something just passed over us.
02:10I don't know what it was.
02:12It wasn't an airplane, but it passed over us going the opposite direction.
02:16It was at least 2,000 to 3,000 feet above us.
02:19I couldn't make it out, whether it was a balloon or what.
02:22It was several thousand feet above us, going the opposite direction.
02:28When pressed for an explanation, the FAA issues a cryptic statement revealing they are unable to confirm any details.
02:37The audio recordings of the exchange make international headlines, and the incident adds to the ever-growing list of UFO sightings over Phoenix, Arizona.
02:47The public is reminded of an aerial anomaly that took place 21 years earlier in the very same area, and is yet to be explained.
03:017.30 PM, March 13, 1997
03:05The skies are clear over Phoenix, as stargazer Terry Mansfield hopes to catch a glimpse of the Hale-Bob Comet.
03:13Mansfield is sitting on her patio, overlooking the Paradise Valley near Phoenix, when a massive object floats into her view, completely obscuring the sky.
03:26This is no comet.
03:28The object, whatever it is, has a shine to it.
03:34She believes she is standing directly beneath some kind of alien craft.
03:38On March 13, 1997, thousands of people are looking upwards to see a comet trailing across the sky.
03:50But what they see is something very different.
03:55Over the next few hours, 10,000 people bear witness to one of the largest mass UFO sightings in history.
04:02They are convinced, across four states, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, that they are seeing something extraterrestrial.
04:17At approximately 10 PM the same night, another string of lights appears hovering over Phoenix before disappearing behind the Estrella Mountain Range, 24 kilometers southwest of the city.
04:28When you look up and you're looking at them, you've got no references around it.
04:34You're seeing it in this big area of space within the stars or the clouds around it.
04:40And so you can't tell how far away it is or where it is.
04:44And you just create an idea of that location and that distance.
04:48But then if they move and they go behind something like the Estrella Mountain Range when they disappear,
04:53now you have that reference at the mountain range.
04:56You know how far away that is.
04:58And so they can go from an unimaginable height to something a lot closer to the ground and then disappear.
05:05And the only way they can do that in that short period of time is if they go at some insane speed that human aircraft can't go at.
05:12People are now saying that this object has got much, much larger.
05:20It's something like 6,000 feet across and it's moving across the sky.
05:27In the days that follow, police, reporters and even the governor reach out to nearby Air Force bases for an explanation.
05:36None are provided.
05:37The Davis-Monthan Air Force base in Tucson, roughly 201 kilometers southeast of the city,
05:46reports no military maneuvers took place that night.
05:50As does Luke U.S. Air Force base, just 32 kilometers from the city.
05:56Militaries are really interested in protecting their technology.
06:00They really don't want foreign bodies knowing what they're doing.
06:04So if the U.S. government or the U.S. military is out testing some technology, they don't really want it to be in the public space.
06:15Then, four months later, Luke U.S. Air Force base changes its story and claims it was testing new flare capabilities of its A-10 close support air fleet that night.
06:26I would say that formations of aircraft, obviously military aircraft flying at night, is an absolutely plausible explanation.
06:36I know that Luke Air Force base is in Phoenix.
06:39They are a very busy airport with lots of different types of aircraft.
06:43It is rare that the military aircraft will do maneuvers at night, especially an A-10.
06:48An A-10 is a ferocious air-to-ground attack aircraft.
06:52However, many witnesses are not satisfied by the military's delayed response.
06:58The explanation that I find the least convincing is the flare theory, just because flares are very predictable.
07:05They have a certain motion in the sky.
07:08They go up, they fall down, and then, of course, they flare out.
07:11In the hopes of silencing the skeptics, the military decides to recreate the event by conducting an airdrop test.
07:20However, the display only strengthens public doubt.
07:24The military flare is something that's burning.
07:28It's not like an electric light, because the purpose of the flare is to generate heat,
07:33and the heat is designed to divert a heat-seeking weapon from hitting the aircraft.
07:41And so there's usually a smoke trail.
07:42They're not just sort of a ball of light, not that I've ever seen.
07:47It's possible.
07:49It may be a different kind of electric flare.
07:51I don't know what that would be for.
07:53I'm sort of at a loss to explain that it could have been a flare,
07:58because the flares I know, they burn.
08:00Now, of course, the public, not only confused, but also slightly suspicious.
08:07Why is it the military has gone from total denial to now coming out with a series of excuses?
08:14If you're seeing three lights in the sky, and you can sort of say,
08:18oh, yeah, they're all moving the same direction, the same speed,
08:21sure, it absolutely might be, because they're in the same body of atmosphere.
08:26But if you try that same experiment a couple nights later,
08:30this one might drop down a little further and be in a slightly different moving atmosphere,
08:35so it's going to change what it looks like.
08:38And, of course, when you're looking to disprove something,
08:42you're looking at that, any little tiny deviation,
08:45which, of course, you're absolutely going to have,
08:47is going to be proof that, obviously, that thing that happened those many nights before
08:54was completely different than that thing we're seeing right now.
08:57Some suspect the military's evasion over these events
09:00is deliberately designed to protect top-secret information and technology.
09:06It starts off with the explanation itself.
09:09Like, it's easy or easier to believe if somebody says,
09:13well, I didn't tell you that then because...
09:16But the idea that, oh, yeah, they just dropped some flares,
09:20why wouldn't you tell that then?
09:22So the story now doesn't include any reasonable explanation
09:27for why they didn't give the story then.
09:30Strategically situated on the outskirts of Phoenix,
09:34the Luke Air Force Base trained some of the best military pilots in the world
09:38to fly the most advanced military aircraft ever created.
09:43Luke Air Force Base is the largest active U.S. military wing.
09:48That means it has the largest number of aircraft.
09:51Included in this fleet are F-16s and F-35s.
09:55These are modern warfare aircraft.
09:58Luke Air Force Base uses these aircraft to train pilots,
10:02so there's a lot of aircraft activity going on regularly at Luke Air Force Base.
10:07Given the base's long and illustrious history,
10:12it's possible that the Phoenix Lights were in fact part of a top-secret military project.
10:18This wouldn't be the first time that sightings of top-secret government projects
10:22have been blamed on UFOs.
10:24However, witnesses report the UFO's massive size far exceeds that of any aircraft ever flown.
10:31When we think about the biggest aircraft ever produced,
10:35this aircraft with the largest wingspan ever created has a wingspan of about 385 feet.
10:44To put that in perspective with what the observers saw,
10:48saying that the aircraft they saw had thousands of foot wingspan,
10:52they're just not on the same scale.
10:54So this clearly isn't a single aircraft that's man-made.
11:00Ten years after the Phoenix Lights event,
11:03an unexpected announcement by the former governor of Arizona
11:06suggests that the secrecy surrounding the episode
11:10may have been less about protecting domestic technology
11:13and more about concealing the activity of unknown entities.
11:17Symington, who was governor of Arizona at that time,
11:22when the time of the Phoenix Lights sighting,
11:25ten years later comes back and says he had indeed seen the Phoenix Lights,
11:30that he was one of the witnesses in that mass sighting,
11:35and that he did not buy the Air Force story,
11:39which he said was not the right explanation for this phenomenon.
11:45Could these be some aerial spycrafts from other countries,
11:50or maybe there's something completely different?
11:54When considering why this area would be such a draw for extraterrestrial visitors,
12:00thoughts immediately turn to national security and the Luke Air Force Base.
12:05Here, pilots not only get experience flying some of the most powerful aircraft in the world,
12:11they also engage in advanced training simulations
12:14where they can train in battlefield maneuvers.
12:19It is basically the cutting edge of aircraft technology,
12:25which is used and experimented and developed over there.
12:29So any foreign power or alien power
12:33would want to keep this area under surveillance.
12:36In fact, Arizona itself is located in a prime location
12:42for anyone wanting to study U.S. defense systems.
12:46Not only is it home to 28 military operation areas,
12:50it lies between Nevada's infamous Area 51 to the north,
12:55California's Edwards Air Force Base to the west,
12:58and New Mexico's White Sands Missile Base to the east.
13:03When I was in the military,
13:05there used to be a publication called Aviation Week,
13:08and I remember my squadron mates being astounded
13:11at the information they would publish.
13:15I remember saying to ourselves, you know, discussing this,
13:19and saying, this is what they're releasing to the public.
13:22What do they got hidden?
13:23I mean, it was amazing what we thought
13:25was very interesting and very advanced technology
13:29that they were releasing to the public.
13:32And we're saying,
13:33there must be a lot more going on behind the scenes.
13:37From top-secret government facilities
13:43to energetic anomalies
13:45and hundreds of unsolved mysteries related to UFO sightings,
13:50the Grand Canyon State remains veiled in the unknown.
13:56It's simply amazing just how many UFO sightings
14:01come out of Arizona.
14:03There is something going on.
14:04It ranks so highly in terms of UFO hotspots
14:09in the United States.
14:11So we need to pose the question,
14:13what is going on in Arizona?
14:17There are 28 military operation areas in Arizona
14:21that pilots are told to avoid.
14:23The FAA broadly refers to these locations
14:26as special-use airspace.
14:29Radar coverage is often unreliable
14:31or unavailable in these zones
14:33because of their remote locations
14:35and surrounding mountains.
14:38Radar is a line-of-sight device.
14:43In other words,
14:44the radar transmitter
14:45has to have something to bounce off of,
14:48and that could be a mountain.
14:50Just like a beam of light,
14:52if someone is beyond a mountain range,
14:55then they're in the shadow of a light,
14:57so they can't be seen.
14:59It's the same thing with radar.
15:01So yeah, low-flying object behind mountains
15:03would be unseen.
15:06While this phenomenon poses a challenge
15:08for some aircraft,
15:10for others,
15:11it facilitates the perfect conditions
15:13to fly under the radar.
15:15And military sites aren't the only areas
15:18that have seen an increase
15:19in unwanted aerial activity.
15:21September 29th, 2019.
15:27A cluster of five or six drones
15:29are seen buzzing over a concrete facility
15:3280 kilometers west of Phoenix.
15:35They stay for over an hour
15:36before disappearing,
15:38only to return the following night.
15:40When we think about Savannah River
15:42and Los Alamos,
15:43these are facilities that were used
15:46to generate nuclear materials
15:48for nuclear bombs.
15:49They are sites of intense research
15:52into how to control nuclear reactions,
15:56how to build nuclear reactors.
15:58Having UAPs around these sites
15:59is extremely concerning,
16:02not only to the U.S. military,
16:03but it should be to everybody in general.
16:06The sightings are investigated
16:07by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
16:10the FBI,
16:11Department of Homeland Security,
16:13and the FAA.
16:14All we know is that people saw
16:16what they believed to be drones.
16:18And by definition,
16:20drones are UFOs.
16:22Despite their efforts,
16:24no one knows who or what
16:26deployed the UAVs.
16:28Between 2015 and 2019,
16:31there were 57 reported incursions
16:34of drones into the airspace
16:35around nuclear facilities in the U.S.
16:38like Palo Verde.
16:39This is really concerning.
16:41We really don't want people
16:43investigating these sites
16:45and figuring out
16:46where nuclear materials are
16:48or spying on them
16:49or developing plans
16:51to attack them.
16:54Located in an isolated corner
16:56of the Arizona desert
16:57is the United States'
16:59largest nuclear power plant,
17:01Palo Verde.
17:01It generates enough energy
17:06to power an entire city.
17:09It uses cutting-edge technology.
17:12So if anywhere was going to be
17:14of interest to extraterrestrials,
17:17then it would be Palo Verde.
17:20The plant is a vital source of energy
17:22and the largest power generator
17:24in the United States.
17:26If anything were to happen to it,
17:28the consequences would be catastrophic.
17:30Historically, this site has been seen
17:34as a potential target
17:35for foreign enemies.
17:37So throughout the Cold War
17:39and even as late as 2003
17:41at the start of the Iraq War,
17:43we're positioning troops
17:45at these facilities
17:46to make sure that they're protected
17:48and that they can't be attacked.
17:50This wouldn't be the first time
17:52UFOs have been seen
17:54flying over or near nuclear sites.
17:57There have been dozens and dozens
17:59of subsiding near nuclear-related places
18:03all over the United States.
18:06Just as human beings are now running
18:10from pillar to post,
18:11from Earth to Mars,
18:13looking for resources,
18:15any advanced civilization
18:16is also going to be interested
18:19and invested in looking
18:21for these types of resources.
18:23Or, on the other hand,
18:24they could also be very,
18:26very, very lethal targets
18:27if they were to be hit
18:29by some kind of alien
18:30or enemy force.
18:33While Palo Verde would provide
18:34a vast source of man-made energy,
18:37local legend suggests
18:38that Arizona is also home
18:40to immense sources
18:41of natural energy
18:42that could prove
18:43even more powerful.
18:45Amidst the rustling leaves
18:52of the ancient juniper trees
18:54and the fiery hues
18:55of the Sedona Desert
18:56in northern Arizona
18:57are tales of a mystical energy
19:00radiating from the desert's red rock.
19:03In modern times,
19:05certain locations in the desert
19:06have become beacons
19:07for those hoping to experience
19:09their own close encounters
19:11and spiritual awakenings
19:12by being in the presence
19:14of alleged energy vortexes.
19:17The Sedona vortex
19:18has gained a lot of currency.
19:21The idea is that
19:23there is a positive vortex
19:25in Sedona,
19:27and the idea is that
19:29you can tap into
19:30the Earth energy,
19:31and this will change
19:33the way you live.
19:34It will change your body
19:36for the better.
19:37It will change your mind
19:38for the better,
19:39making you more harmonious
19:40and more attuned
19:42with the Earth
19:44and the environment.
19:45That's the idea
19:46of the Sedona vortex.
19:49A massive tourist industry
19:51has grown up
19:51around the Sedona vortexes
19:53as every year,
19:55visitors flock to the area
19:56to feel the swirly energy
19:58that leaves the Earth's crust.
20:00Others join the dozens
20:02of UFO tours
20:03that promise an opportunity
20:05to experience
20:06first-hand alien encounters.
20:08The evidence that's given
20:11for the existence
20:12of this intangible energy
20:15in Sedona
20:15is the various ways
20:18in which the juniper trees
20:19get bent while growing,
20:21and the idea is
20:22it is the patterns of energy
20:24which cause the juniper trees
20:26to bend in particular ways.
20:30And the other thing
20:33which is remarkable
20:33about the Sedona vortex
20:36is that it affects
20:38the wind patterns sometimes
20:40and you could experience
20:43high wind
20:45and a perfectly calm
20:47kind of environment
20:49within a very short span of time
20:50in the same place.
20:53In 2010,
20:55electrical engineer
20:56Benjamin Lontree
20:57attempted to monitor
20:58the effect of the Sedona vortex
21:00on the human brain
21:01by hooking up volunteers
21:03to EEG machines.
21:06Interestingly,
21:07the conclusion of this study
21:08was that there is
21:09some measurable degree
21:11of inflow and outflow
21:12of energy
21:12which people experience
21:14in this area.
21:15People have actually found
21:18a type of magnetic receptor
21:21in the brain
21:22that can tell you
21:24like a compass reading
21:25which way things are going
21:27and just recently
21:28actually found it in humans too
21:30that we have these
21:31magnetite type receptors
21:32in there.
21:33But are they useful?
21:34Are they meaningful?
21:35Can we actually
21:36like a compass
21:36point to north
21:37in a featureless room
21:39when you put somebody
21:40in a big round circular room,
21:42you spin it around,
21:43you stop it,
21:44you ask them to tell
21:44which way is north?
21:45Not really.
21:48So there's always been
21:49this kind of push and pull
21:51to figure out
21:53like can we sense things
21:55like magnetic fields?
21:57Is this some
21:58paranormal phenomenon
21:59or are there unknown
22:01natural or biological
22:02forces at play?
22:05We don't understand
22:06the human being
22:07even physically
22:09completely, right?
22:11And there's a long history
22:12of the evolution
22:12of the human being.
22:14So maybe at some point
22:16we were more attuned
22:17to the earth.
22:19We were more attuned
22:21to the forces of the earth
22:23like geomagnetism.
22:26So when we go
22:28to places like Sedona
22:29which have,
22:31whether it's because
22:32of the high concentration
22:33of iron
22:33or because of the vortex,
22:36these residual ancestral
22:39kind of abilities
22:40get triggered,
22:41they get activated
22:42and this is why people
22:44are able to have
22:44these experiences
22:45in places like Sedona.
22:48New age theorists
22:49believe the energy sources
22:51stem from something
22:52supernatural
22:53that was brought here
22:54from outer space.
22:56There's a widely believed
22:58theory that aliens
23:00in ancient times
23:02a long time ago
23:03came to Sedona
23:04and other places
23:05and buried crystals
23:08that generate energy
23:10under the ground
23:11and that's what's causing
23:13this vortex-like phenomenon
23:15in the area.
23:16Now geologists have said
23:18there are no such crystals,
23:20no evidence
23:21of anything like this
23:23under the ground
23:24in the area
23:24or any other area.
23:26An alternate theory suggests
23:28nothing has been discovered
23:30because there is no collection
23:32of powerful materials
23:33emitting energy.
23:35Instead,
23:36these vortexes
23:37are caused
23:37by interdimensional portals
23:39that can neither be seen
23:40nor measured
23:41by our earthly instruments.
23:44For those who believe
23:46in the wormhole theory,
23:48they see Sedona
23:49as a kind of lighthouse
23:51attracting aliens
23:54from across the universe,
23:56emitting a beam,
23:57as it were,
23:58that's bringing in UFOs.
24:03One of the earliest
24:04documented UFO sightings
24:06in Sedona
24:06occurred in 1947
24:08when an unidentified individual
24:11reported seeing
24:12flying discs in the sky
24:13and a large ball
24:15of blue light.
24:16The official report
24:18described the flying disc
24:19as a spinning top.
24:21The incident caught
24:22the attention of the FBI
24:23and the Air Force,
24:25prompting an investigation
24:26with no confirmed results.
24:28Could the Sedona vortexes
24:32be a beacon guiding UFOs
24:34to an unlimited energy supply
24:36in the middle
24:36of the Arizona desert?
24:38Or is there any evidence
24:40to suggest
24:40that they are some kind
24:41of portal
24:42to another dimension?
24:44Maybe what's causing it
24:47is what Einstein called
24:49a wormhole,
24:50a kind of interdimensional portal
24:55through space and time
24:57that could be linking Sedona
24:59to a whole different part
25:01of the universe
25:01and even a whole different
25:03time period
25:04beyond our perception,
25:06that this is a corridor,
25:08the entrance to a corridor
25:10in our universe.
25:11If a wormhole existed
25:14on Earth,
25:15I can promise you
25:17we would know about it.
25:18So chances are
25:19it's, you know,
25:21impossible to think
25:22of a wormhole existing
25:23on Earth
25:24and us not being aware of it.
25:26You know,
25:26a wormhole would be
25:27a pretty significant,
25:29or a vortex,
25:30as you say,
25:31it would be
25:31a pretty significant
25:32event in space-time
25:34and that would
25:35distort space-time.
25:38And so we would
25:39definitely be able
25:40to pick up on
25:40something like that
25:41on Earth.
25:461992.
25:47It is evening
25:48on the peaceful
25:49Bradshaw Ranch
25:50on the outskirts
25:51of Sedona.
25:52Linda Bradshaw
25:53is walking around
25:54her property
25:55when a huge
25:56and bright light
25:57appears in the sky
25:58above her.
25:59It remains overhead
26:00for only a few seconds.
26:02This isn't her first
26:03encounter
26:04with the otherworldly glow.
26:06It appeared
26:07in this very spot
26:08just a few days ago,
26:09and this time
26:10she's ready.
26:12Bradshaw has enough time
26:14to snap photographs
26:15before the lights
26:15disappear.
26:17The pictures,
26:18taken on 35mm film,
26:20reveal an enormous
26:21rectangular light
26:22in the night sky.
26:25Bradshaw Ranch
26:26has become famous,
26:27even infamous,
26:29for the amount
26:30of paranormal activity
26:32and UFO sightings
26:34on this ranch.
26:36It was once owned
26:37by a movie star.
26:39It's become famous
26:41in modern times,
26:42though,
26:42not for that connection,
26:44but for its connection
26:45to things that come
26:47from somewhere
26:48beyond planet Earth.
26:50In her book,
26:52Linda describes
26:53frequent encounters
26:54with strange,
26:55alien,
26:55gray-like entities,
26:57dinosaurs,
26:58repeated sightings
26:59of Sasquatch
27:00and other
27:01unexplained phenomena
27:02starting in the early 90s.
27:05Bob and Linda
27:06would have friends over
27:07and they would
27:09see UFOs,
27:10certainly,
27:11lots of sightings
27:12of various kinds,
27:14but not just sightings
27:15themselves,
27:15but actual encounters
27:17with all kinds
27:19of strange phenomena,
27:20UFO saucers,
27:22but also reportedly
27:23cryptids,
27:24or very strange animals
27:26that they didn't recognize
27:27or didn't recognize
27:29to be from the region.
27:31The Bradshaws believe
27:33aliens,
27:34along with other cryptids,
27:36are able to visit
27:36the ranch
27:37through an interdimensional portal
27:39that enables lifeforms
27:41to freely travel
27:42from one dimension
27:42to another,
27:44something similar
27:45to the portals
27:45believed to be present
27:46at the Sedona Vortex points.
27:52As with most alien encounters,
27:54aside from some photos
27:56taken by the family
27:57and their documented
27:58first-hand accounts,
27:59there is no scientific evidence
28:01to support their claims.
28:07Then, in 2003,
28:09the ranch came
28:10under new ownership.
28:12There's a strange turn
28:14in the story
28:15of the Bradshaw Ranch.
28:16In 2003,
28:18the U.S. government
28:19acquires it
28:20using some or other instrument.
28:23It takes over the ranch.
28:25Now, the government claims
28:27that this is for
28:28a climate study,
28:30but there's a lot of security,
28:32a lot of fencing,
28:33nobody allowed in,
28:35no evidence of a study
28:36ever actually happening,
28:38certainly no findings,
28:39nobody's allowed
28:40into the ranch,
28:42and yet,
28:43up to this day,
28:44the government
28:45controls the ranch,
28:46it's sealed off,
28:48and who knows
28:49what's going on there.
28:50conspiracy theorists
28:52believe this is a clue
28:54that the government
28:54took control of the ranch
28:56to protect a huge
28:57and remarkable discovery.
29:00There's so much mystery
29:02surrounding what
29:03the U.S. government
29:04has done
29:05to the Bradshaw Ranch
29:07that many believe
29:08the real reason
29:09for a takeover
29:10is that there is
29:12a portal
29:13on the ranch
29:14that the government
29:16wanted to seize
29:17control of,
29:18a portal
29:19to other dimensions,
29:21and it certainly
29:22doesn't want
29:23the public
29:23or casual visitors
29:25turning up
29:26to have a look
29:27into the portal.
29:30Archaeological evidence
29:31in another ranch
29:32in nearby Winslow, Arizona,
29:34suggests these
29:35UFO sightings
29:36in Arizona
29:37date back thousands
29:38if not millions
29:39of years.
29:41The thing I like
29:42about Arizona
29:43in general
29:44is that
29:45there just remain
29:47many questions
29:48unanswered.
29:49There's lots of sightings,
29:50there's a very strange
29:52alien-looking landscape
29:53with a lot of difference
29:55in it,
29:56and the interesting thing
29:58is that we have
29:58lots of authorities,
30:00we have lots of scientists
30:00who study that region,
30:02they study the state,
30:03they study a lot
30:04of the natural phenomena
30:06there,
30:07and nevertheless
30:07it remains
30:08a bit of a mystery.
30:11The appropriately named
30:13Rock Art Ranch
30:14is about 5,000 acres,
30:17it's a cattle ranch,
30:18and the reason
30:19it has that name
30:20is that it's
30:22one of the best areas
30:25for ancient
30:27petroglyph art.
30:29There's simply
30:30loads of it
30:31made by ancient
30:33peoples
30:33on the rocks
30:34in that area.
30:36These etchings,
30:37which date between
30:386,000 and 14,000 BCE,
30:41were left behind
30:42by some of the earliest
30:43humanoid inhabitants
30:45in the area
30:45as ways to share stories
30:47and document
30:48what they observed.
30:49What really grabs
30:51your attention
30:51with these petroglyphs
30:53is that you have
30:54images of people,
30:56images of animals,
30:58but then you have
30:59images of beings
31:01that are humanoid
31:03but are much bigger
31:04than the other humans
31:06and have rather
31:07oddly shaped heads.
31:10Now, one of the
31:11explanations
31:12for these images
31:14could be what's
31:15often described
31:15as the ancient
31:17alien theory,
31:18namely that
31:19extraterrestrial beings,
31:22for whatever reason,
31:23have been visiting us
31:25for a very long time
31:27and that they came
31:29to our ancestors
31:30possibly even shaping
31:32our civilization
31:34and our destiny.
31:35While the ancient
31:39astronaut theory
31:40is entirely unproven,
31:41it would help
31:42make sense
31:43of how ancient people
31:44in places across
31:45the globe
31:45share similar images
31:47and stories
31:48without even being
31:49able to communicate.
31:51Could the abstract
31:53beings depicted
31:54in the petroglyphs
31:55at Rock Art Ranch
31:56be records
31:57of extraterrestrial
31:58visitors on Earth?
32:00If so,
32:01what could they
32:02have been monitoring
32:03all those years ago,
32:04before the invention
32:06of military warplanes
32:07or nuclear energy,
32:09when the world
32:09and humanity
32:10were far less advanced?
32:13If we think about
32:14the places that
32:15UFO phenomena
32:17are drawn to,
32:19it seems that
32:20they're drawn to places
32:21which are either
32:22natural resources
32:23or man-made resources
32:27like nuclear fuel.
32:29They seem to also
32:31be keeping tabs
32:32on surveilling,
32:33as it were,
32:34military sites
32:36which could be significant.
32:38But these UFO phenomena
32:39then are also drawn
32:41to places
32:41which have
32:43spiritual significance
32:45for human beings
32:46like Sedona
32:48where there is no real
32:50military activity
32:51but the phenomena
32:54are still drawn there.
32:56The reasons for that
32:57could be
32:57that there's something
32:59significant about this place
33:02on a cosmic
33:02or on a larger scale
33:04or they have
33:08some kind of connection
33:09to this place.
33:12Arizona's vast desert canvas
33:14bears an ancient scar.
33:16A celestial mark
33:17left 50,000 years ago,
33:20the Beringer Meteor Crater.
33:23Widely accepted
33:24as the most well-preserved
33:25meteor impact crater
33:27on the planet,
33:27it was created
33:2950,000 years ago
33:30when a meteorite
33:32smashed into
33:32the Colorado Plateau
33:34causing a giant pit
33:35174 meters deep
33:38and 1,250 meters across.
33:42Enough room
33:42for 20 football fields.
33:44And the impact
33:45of these meteors
33:47hitting Earth,
33:50you know,
33:50the material
33:51that hit the Earth
33:53likely brought with it
33:54what we call
33:55volatiles.
33:56And volatiles
33:57are ingredients
33:58that we think
33:59may have played
33:59a really important role
34:01in the development
34:01of life on Earth.
34:03So one way
34:04of thinking about this
34:05is maybe
34:06we've all come
34:07from space.
34:09If there is
34:10life beyond our world,
34:12would some
34:12extraterrestrial stargazers
34:14be able to witness
34:15this event from space?
34:17I mean,
34:18it depends on
34:18what we're looking at.
34:20So for example,
34:21outer space
34:22is really, really dark.
34:23And so if we were
34:24just orbiting the Earth,
34:25we would maybe
34:26probably not be able
34:28to see a space rock
34:29passing right past us.
34:30But as these space rocks
34:32enter the Earth's atmosphere,
34:33they become really,
34:35really heated
34:35and hot
34:36and glow
34:37and burn
34:37and break apart.
34:39And so that kind of process
34:40would be something
34:41that would be quite bright
34:42and I expect something
34:43we'd be able to see.
34:46The Beringer Meteor Crater
34:48is by no means
34:49the oldest on Earth.
34:50However,
34:51it provides us
34:52with an interesting
34:53point of study.
34:54Just as we're looking
34:55towards planets
34:56and asteroids
34:57to mine resources,
34:59maybe extraterrestrials
35:01are also doing
35:01the same to Earth.
35:03While our scientists
35:04investigate its effects
35:06on our planet,
35:07could advanced civilizations
35:08from beyond the stars
35:10be interested
35:10in doing their own research?
35:13If you ask me
35:15whether or not
35:15I think life exists
35:17beyond Earth,
35:18I would tell you
35:18yes,
35:19it almost certainly does.
35:21And the reason for that,
35:22the argument for that
35:23is a statistical one.
35:24So if we look at
35:26our own Milky Way galaxy,
35:29right?
35:29So there's hundreds
35:31of billions of stars
35:32in our own Milky Way
35:33and we think
35:33that's pretty typical
35:34for a galaxy.
35:35As we move out,
35:37there are roughly,
35:38you know,
35:39trillions of galaxies
35:40in the observable universe.
35:41And one thing we know
35:43it just,
35:44our little bit of exploration
35:45we've done
35:45in our own galaxy
35:46is that planets
35:47are common.
35:49And on average,
35:50we observe about
35:50one planet
35:51for every star.
35:52So if you put
35:53all of this together
35:54and assume that,
35:56yeah,
35:56chances are
35:57that not all planets
35:58are hospitable to life.
35:59There's still
36:00millions of opportunities
36:02for life
36:02within our own galaxy.
36:04And that's not
36:05even counting
36:06the other galaxies
36:06there are in the universe.
36:07In the heart
36:12of the Arizona desert,
36:13nature has carved
36:14a masterpiece
36:15that transcends
36:16time itself.
36:18This scale
36:20of the Grand Canyon
36:21becomes really apparent.
36:23It is truly immense.
36:24It is exceptionally deep.
36:27And on top of that,
36:28above the canyon
36:29are mountains as well.
36:31So when you're standing
36:32in the bottom
36:33of the Grand Canyon,
36:34you have this
36:35impression of ability
36:37immensity
36:38of how small
36:39you are
36:40in relation
36:41to this huge landscape
36:44that stretches
36:44above you.
36:45So you really feel
36:47like you're
36:48in the earth,
36:50like you're
36:50part of the
36:52geologic structures
36:54around you.
36:56The Grand Canyon
36:57is 277 miles long
36:59and more than
37:01a mile deep.
37:02While it's one
37:03of the best places
37:04on earth
37:05to view a continuous
37:06geological record,
37:07there appears
37:08to be a significant
37:09missing piece
37:10of the puzzle,
37:11one that has
37:12baffled scientists
37:13for years.
37:15Obviously,
37:16geologists have
37:17taken a huge
37:18interest in the
37:19Grand Canyon
37:20for 100 years
37:22or more.
37:24And there is
37:25this missing gap,
37:26the unconformity,
37:28for which there
37:29doesn't seem to be
37:30a rational explanation.
37:32there's clearly
37:32some kind of
37:34seismic incident,
37:36but could there
37:37have been
37:37some kind
37:38of galactic
37:39incident?
37:42In 2001,
37:44geologists
37:45from the
37:45University of Colorado
37:47theorized that
37:48the great
37:48unconformity
37:49occurred because
37:51of a huge
37:52upheaval event.
37:53Basically,
37:54what happened,
37:55there was a huge
37:55uplift in the earth
37:57that caused
37:58all the sediments
37:59on the ocean
38:00floor to be
38:01washed further
38:02out in the ocean,
38:03leaving this time
38:04period with no
38:05evidence of
38:06sedimentary rocks.
38:07So for geologists,
38:10the great
38:11upheaval that
38:11led to the
38:12great unconformity
38:13is really an
38:14unknown.
38:15It's a mystery
38:15that they still
38:16have to solve.
38:18Some believe
38:18that the great
38:19unconformity
38:20is evidence
38:21that the Grand
38:21Canyon is yet
38:22another alien
38:23corridor nestled
38:25in the desert
38:25state,
38:26one that has
38:27been visited
38:27by extraterrestrials
38:29time and time
38:30again.
38:32On April 5,
38:331909,
38:34the Arizona
38:35Gazette featured
38:36an article
38:36detailing
38:37a fantastic
38:38discovery
38:39made in
38:39the Grand
38:40Canyon.
38:41An explorer
38:42and academic
38:43by the name
38:44of G.E.
38:44Kincaid
38:45embarks
38:45on a journey
38:46along the
38:47Colorado River
38:48seeking materials
38:49when an
38:50unusual
38:50sedimentary
38:51formation
38:52captures
38:52his attention.
38:55Kincaid
38:56stumbles
38:56upon a
38:57hidden entrance
38:58which unveils
38:59a wondrous
38:59labyrinth
39:00of honeycomb
39:01tunnels
39:01that appear
39:02to have been
39:02fabricated
39:03by someone
39:04or something.
39:05The tunnels
39:07were filled
39:08with gold
39:08urns,
39:09sophisticated
39:10tools,
39:11and ancient
39:11artifacts
39:12surrounded by
39:13hieroglyphs
39:14and iconography
39:15reminiscent of
39:15Hindu and
39:16Egyptian cultures.
39:18Only later
39:19did it become
39:20apparent that
39:21this was the
39:21result of a
39:22fevered imagination
39:23and a desire
39:24for fame
39:25rather than an
39:26actual
39:26archaeological
39:27discovery.
39:28Even though
39:30the Kincaid
39:31story turned
39:32out to be
39:32a complete
39:34hoax,
39:35it nevertheless
39:35sparked
39:36interest in
39:38the idea
39:39of another
39:40world
39:41underneath
39:42the floor
39:43or the walls
39:44of the
39:45Grand Canyon.
39:46Could there
39:46be some
39:48kind of
39:49evidence
39:50of intergalactic
39:53activity
39:54in the
39:55canyon
39:55that is
39:56yet to
39:57be discovered?
39:59Online,
40:00alternative
40:00researchers
40:01continue to
40:02claim that
40:02within the
40:03Grand Canyon
40:04National Park
40:04lies a
40:05designated
40:06forbidden
40:06zone
40:07strictly
40:08prohibiting
40:08hiking,
40:09camping,
40:10or exploration.
40:11Believers
40:12speculate
40:12about covert
40:13surveillance
40:14by shadowy
40:15branches of
40:15the federal
40:16government
40:16overseeing
40:17the entire
40:18region.
40:20In many
40:21of the
40:21national parks
40:22in the
40:23United States
40:24there are
40:24blocked-off
40:26areas,
40:27forbidden
40:27zones if
40:28you want,
40:29where people
40:29are ordered
40:31not to
40:32go.
40:33Now the
40:33Grand Canyon
40:34is no
40:35exception.
40:36There are
40:36areas where
40:37the public
40:37cannot go.
40:39Now that
40:39may be for
40:40our own
40:40safety,
40:41it may be
40:42because there
40:42are security
40:43concerns,
40:45but of course
40:45many believe
40:46that there
40:48is something
40:48in these
40:49zones that
40:50the government
40:51doesn't want
40:52us to see.
40:54Adding to
40:54the suspicion
40:55is the
40:56legislation
40:56enacted in
40:571987
40:58which imposes
40:59airspace
41:00restrictions
41:00over the
41:01canyon,
41:02a regulation
41:03shared with
41:04only two
41:04other national
41:05parks in
41:06America,
41:07Yosemite
41:07and Haleakala,
41:09areas of
41:11great natural
41:11resource and
41:12geological
41:13significance.
41:14One thing
41:16I like to
41:17keep in
41:17mind when
41:18we try to
41:19fathom what
41:20could possibly
41:21be motivating
41:22an extraterrestrial
41:23species to
41:25take an
41:25interest in
41:25our planets
41:26or the
41:28resources or
41:29the elements
41:29that we have
41:29on our
41:30planet or
41:30even in
41:31the solar
41:32system nearby
41:33is the
41:34fact that we
41:35also take an
41:36interest in
41:36these things.
41:37We send
41:38out craft,
41:39we send
41:39out rovers
41:40to other
41:42planets,
41:42other bodies
41:43in the
41:44solar system
41:44to see
41:45what could
41:46potentially be
41:47mined,
41:47what we
41:48could use
41:48for ourselves
41:49and so
41:49if there is
41:50another species
41:51out there
41:52that is
41:53close enough
41:54and is taking
41:54an interest
41:55in us,
41:55it might be
41:56for much
41:56the same
41:57reasons,
41:57that maybe
41:58we have
41:58elements or
42:00something that
42:01are of use
42:02to them even
42:03if we don't
42:03necessarily
42:03recognize it
42:04ourselves.
42:06Arizona
42:06stands as a
42:07tapestry of
42:08unexplained
42:09events which
42:10have blurred
42:10the boundaries
42:11between fact
42:12and fiction.
42:13whether it's
42:14lights in the
42:14night sky,
42:16bizarre
42:16disappearances
42:17or inexplicable
42:18phenomena,
42:20the reality
42:20of these
42:21encounters
42:21cannot be
42:22fully dismissed.
42:24There's so
42:25much variety
42:27in the
42:28geology of
42:29Arizona
42:29and there's
42:30so much
42:30strangeness
42:32in the
42:32geology of
42:33Arizona
42:33that it
42:34would not
42:35be surprising
42:36that an
42:37extraterrestrial
42:37intelligence
42:38is drawn
42:38to that
42:39place.
42:39there's
42:40there's
42:40also
42:40a lot
42:41of desert
42:42with no
42:43people out
42:44there to
42:45interfere with
42:46any kind
42:46of exploration
42:47or any
42:48other type
42:49of activity.
42:50So there
42:51is a certain
42:51mystery about
42:52Arizona given
42:54its geography
42:55and so forth.
42:57Arizona is
42:58geologically
42:59very interesting
43:01and that might
43:01be fascinating
43:02to aliens
43:03but it's
43:04also rich
43:06in military
43:07bases
43:07and this
43:08undoubtedly
43:09could be
43:10something
43:11that aliens
43:12want to
43:13surveil.
43:14So in
43:15terms of
43:15explaining
43:16why Arizona
43:17is such
43:19a major
43:19UFO hotspot
43:21all the
43:22elements
43:23are there.
43:2599%
43:26of history
43:26is just
43:27simply lost
43:27to us
43:28and studying
43:29deep
43:30geological
43:31time in
43:31particular
43:32is one
43:32really good
43:33way to
43:34figure out
43:34how did
43:35we get
43:35here,
43:36how did
43:36we evolve
43:37to the
43:37place we
43:37are and
43:38I think
43:38frankly holds
43:39a lot of
43:39answers and
43:40explanation
43:40for the
43:41UFO phenomenon
43:42that we
43:44wouldn't
43:45necessarily
43:45assume that
43:46lights in
43:47the sky
43:47are in
43:48any way
43:48related to
43:49rock
43:50formations
43:51in Arizona
43:52but I think
43:52there's actually
43:53quite interesting
43:54connections there
43:55that have
43:55really yet to
43:56be uncovered.
43:58Much of the
43:58work that
43:59we're doing
43:59to try and
44:00understand
44:00whether or
44:01not life
44:01is out
44:02there
44:02takes place
44:03pretty close
44:04to Earth.
44:05We do it
44:05using telescopes,
44:07observations
44:07from Earth
44:08or from
44:09space
44:10but one
44:11other way
44:12in addition
44:12to using
44:13our eyes
44:13and ears
44:14is in
44:15actually
44:16sending
44:16spacecraft
44:17out to
44:17explore
44:18new places
44:19in the
44:19solar system
44:20and potentially
44:21beyond
44:21in the future
44:22and so
44:23one example
44:23of that
44:24is the
44:24rovers
44:25that we've
44:25sent to
44:26Mars
44:26and what
44:27they've
44:27been able
44:27to do
44:28is take
44:28little samples
44:29from the
44:29surface
44:30of Mars
44:30itself
44:31and actually
44:31analyze it
44:32and send
44:33that data
44:33back to us
44:34and that's
44:34given us
44:35an unprecedented
44:36look.
44:37Scientists,
44:38archaeologists
44:39and even
44:40the FAA
44:40have admitted
44:41that there are
44:42things happening
44:43in Arizona
44:43that we simply
44:45don't understand.
44:47Until we do,
44:48the causes
44:49of these phenomena
44:50by definition
44:51remain alien
44:53to us.
