00:00:00Billions of planets throughout the galaxy, capable of supporting life.

00:00:11The discovery of exoplanets changed our view of the potential for life in the universe.

00:00:17Are there other intelligent species beyond Earth?

00:00:21Civilizations could have risen and fallen even before the Earth was formed.

00:00:27Could the evidence of their existence be closer than we think?

00:00:32The astronauts talked about seeing extraterrestrial objects on the moon.

00:00:38And might the proof have been with us all along?

00:00:42Planets in this Goldilocks zone have life very similar to ours.

00:00:47The only question is, was it them who came here thousands of years ago?

00:00:52There is a doorway in the universe.

00:00:59Beyond it is the promise of truth.

00:01:04It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

00:01:09The evidence is all around us.

00:01:13The future is right before our eyes.

00:01:16We are not alone.

00:01:19We have never been alone.

00:01:31Cape Canaveral, Florida.

00:01:34April 18, 2018.

00:01:37At 6.51 p.m., a Falcon 9 rocket blasts off on a mission to deploy a NASA space telescope into orbit.

00:01:48The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS.

00:01:53TESS is like a survey of the whole sky.

00:01:55A survey of the nearest hundred light years or so of planets that would be around these stars.

00:02:02In the first four years of its mission, TESS collected a range of scientific data and found 66 worlds beyond our solar system, called exoplanets.

00:02:15Exoplanets are planets that exist outside of our solar system.

00:02:19We're certainly in an exoplanet golden age of discovery.

00:02:23Twenty years ago, we didn't know if there were other Earth-like planets in the universe.

00:02:28And now we can't imagine how we could discover things at a higher rate and still try to make sense of it.

00:02:35It's such a struggle just to keep up with the discoveries that we're making right now.

00:02:41It is only recently, with the development of deep space satellites and high-powered telescopes,

00:02:47that a more accurate understanding of nearby planets, especially planets capable of supporting human life, has been possible.

00:02:55But it wasn't so long ago that the notion of Earth-like planets existing in our galaxy wasn't simply unknown.

00:03:04It was considered blasphemy.

00:03:07When the 16th century Italian philosopher and cosmologist, Giordano Bruno, expressed his belief in an infinity of worlds,

00:03:16and raised the possibility that other planets could harbor life,

00:03:21he was charged with heresy and burned at the stake.

00:03:25It was heretical, revolutionary, to believe that there could be alien life out there.

00:03:30Giordano Bruno was burned alive in the streets of Rome.

00:03:35And what was his crime?

00:03:36To say that there are aliens out there on other planets.

00:03:40We weren't allowed to think like that.

00:03:44It challenged all their predispositions and their power structure.

00:03:48No, there are no other worlds.

00:03:49There's nothing out there.

00:03:50But there is something out there.

00:03:52There's no question about it.

00:03:55As recently as the early 1990s, astronomers were still unable to detect these distant planets,

00:04:02even with high-powered telescopes.

00:04:05It's hard to see an exoplanet.

00:04:08Imagine trying to look at a firefly next to a spotlight.

00:04:13It's incredibly difficult because stars shine by their own light.

00:04:18They give off their own light.

00:04:19But planets reflect light.

00:04:20A typical star is about 10 billion times brighter than a planet.

00:04:26Thanks to remarkable advances in technology, astronomers made the very first discovery of an exoplanet in 1992 using an Earth-based telescope.

00:04:39But that search kicked into high gear in 2009 with the launch of Kepler, the first space telescope specially designed to find exoplanets.

00:04:48And in 2018, Kepler was replaced by the even more powerful TESS.

00:04:56So one of the really cool things about TESS, the satellite that NASA's put up, is basically it was specifically designed to detect exoplanets by what's called the transit method,

00:05:09which is where when a planet goes in front of a star, it blocks the light briefly.

00:05:13And you really see the light blink on and off.

00:05:17That telltale dip is what tells you there might be something that's passing in front of it.

00:05:21The regularity tells you about the orbit, which is the easiest way to actually start looking for new planets.

00:05:26Although the initial objective in the search for exoplanets was simply to determine how many stars in our galaxy might have planets in orbit around them,

00:05:37the actual results were staggering.

00:05:41Our galaxy has around 400 billion stars.

00:05:45From what we've seen so far is on average, every star has at least one planet.

00:05:52So that means that there are 400 billion, at least, planets.

00:05:56In our galaxy.

00:05:59400 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone?

00:06:04The discovery of such an extraordinary number of exoplanets represents a radical change in our understanding of the universe.

00:06:13But even more radical is the notion that millions of those planets might actually be capable of not just supporting life, but generating it.

00:06:23And to that end, astronomers and astrophysicists actively search for planets in a region they refer to as the Goldilocks zone.

00:06:34The Goldilocks zone is exactly that range for a given star of where water is going to be liquid on a given type of planet.

00:06:43We want a planet that is not too close, not too far from the mother star, but just right.

00:06:49Planets that may have oxygen and H2O, water, that may make possible an atmosphere and maybe even life.

00:07:00Based upon current observations, scientists are astounded by the number of potentially habitable planets that exist in the Goldilocks zone.

00:07:10With at least 400 billion planets in our galaxy, if you just look at 1% of that, you're still talking about billions of planets that could potentially be habitable.

00:07:23This is exciting because we once thought that we were the only game in town that could only exist on the planet Earth.

00:07:32The discovery of exoplanets, I think it's really changed our view of the potential for life in the universe.

00:07:39Fundamentally, I think most scientists would now agree that there is some form of life elsewhere in the universe.

00:07:45But in spite of the abundance of habitable exoplanets, many scientists still cling to the notion that the only kind of life likely to exist outside of Earth is microbial or bacterial.

00:07:58They are resistant to what they claim are far-fetched notions that these planets might not only contain more sophisticated or evolved life forms, but intelligent life forms.

00:08:10Some much more evolved or technologically advanced than our own.

00:08:15Think about it.

00:08:16Think about it. The universe is about 13.8 billion years old.

00:08:21The Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

00:08:27Civilizations over billions of years could have risen and fallen even before the Earth was formed.

00:08:36Although the realization that the galaxy is teeming with Earth-like planets has triggered a revolution in conventional scientific thinking,

00:08:44as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, it merely confirms what they have believed all along.

00:08:52The discoveries of exoplanets over the past few years have been absolutely extraordinary.

00:08:59I remember that the first time they discovered this first exoplanet.

00:09:04And me and my colleagues were saying, okay, this will be the first of many.

00:09:10And now, apparently, as many as three exoplanets are being discovered on a daily basis.

00:09:18So what we've said all along, that Earth is not unique in this gigantic universe, turns out to be correct.

00:09:28This raises the question that we've been bringing up, that for thousands of years, there's evidence of some type of visitation from other civilizations.

00:09:37Hopefully, our sciences of able to now detect exoplanets will allow us to pinpoint some of these actual home worlds where aliens have been visiting us.

00:09:48I propose that most of those planets that are in this Goldilocks zone have life very similar to ours.

00:09:58Could it be that Earth was visited by beings who inhabited a life-sustaining exoplanet?

00:10:14As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a resounding yes.

00:10:20And they claim the proof can be found by carefully examining everything from ancient carvings to the religious beliefs of ancient cultures from across the globe.

00:10:35La Silla Observatory, Chile, 2011.

00:10:42Astronomers announced the discovery of a large Earth-like planet orbiting a star in the constellation Orion.

00:10:50The planet is located in the Goldilocks zone, and the star in orbits is very similar to our own, making it an ideal candidate for extraterrestrial life.

00:11:02This is exciting because we want to have a stable solar system like the planet Earth. That's the goal.

00:11:09As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, this may be the most compelling exoplanet discovery yet,

00:11:16because throughout the world, numerous ancient cultures have told stories of otherworldly visitors coming from Orion,

00:11:23and even built their most important structures in alignment with that constellation.

00:11:28All around the world, there are these ancient structures that have been built in the form of Orion.

00:11:37One example that comes to mind is the Great Pyramid of Giza,

00:11:40where the three pyramids are aligned according to the belt stars of Orion.

00:11:47But also, in the American Southwest, there are structures that are in reference to Orion.

00:11:54Native American myths talk specifically about visitors who came here from the Orion constellation.

00:12:04The fact that Orion's constellation exists in magnificent archaeological monuments on Earth indicates to me

00:12:13that someone at some point taught our ancestors where and how to build these structures

00:12:19to illustrate where they are from.

00:12:23Is it possible that the exoplanet discovered in the Orion constellation

00:12:30is the same place where extraterrestrial visitors to Earth came from thousands of years ago?

00:12:37For ancient astronaut theorists, such an audacious notion is a very real possibility.

00:12:43And they also insist that Orion is not the only star system from where aliens may have come.

00:12:49All over the world, we have different cultures who identify with certain star systems as their origins.

00:12:59The Quechua people of Peru, they believe that we're from the Pleiades.

00:13:06In Africa, we have the Dogon who are saying that our origin is actually with the Sirius star system.

00:13:15Various cultures have imagined they have come from specific places, the Pleiades or Sirius.

00:13:22Well, that would be a planet near the star system, suggesting that, at least in mythology,

00:13:28there are planets there that could be inhabited by creatures like us.

00:13:33While many ancient cultures pointed to distant star systems as the homes of their gods,

00:13:39ancient astronaut theorists suggest that one of the oldest human civilizations, the Sumerians,

00:13:44left records of otherworldly beings that came from a planet right in our own solar system.

00:13:51A planet that until very recently was thought not to exist.

00:13:59New York City, 1976.

00:14:04Author Zachariah Sitchin publishes his landmark book,

00:14:08The Twelfth Planet, the first of over a dozen books based upon Sitchin's translations of ancient Sumerian texts.

00:14:17The Twelfth Planet ultimately reshapes the way millions of people view the history of life on Earth.

00:14:23In it, Sitchin claims that ancient Sumerians wrote about an extraterrestrial race that once visited Earth,

00:14:30the Anunnaki.

00:14:32The term Anunnaki is essentially interchangeable with extraterrestrial.

00:14:41Because the word Anunnaki itself means those who from the heavens came.

00:14:49There's a whole pantheon of Anunnaki, basically.

00:14:52There was Anu, who is essentially the king of all the Anunnaki.

00:14:55Anunnaki, and then his two sons, Enil and Anki.

00:14:59When we look in a lot of the Sumerian tablets,

00:15:02they seem to have come from a much larger planet, a reddish glowing planet.

00:15:08One of the great questions about the Anunnaki is, where did they come from?

00:15:13Well, Zachariah went back into the ancient texts and began to build a theory

00:15:17that the Anunnaki came from an as-yet undiscovered twelfth planet in our solar system

00:15:22that he called Nibiru.

00:15:27Nibiru is described as a much larger planet than Earth.

00:15:31And it has a very elliptical orbit, more like a large egg-shaped orbit.

00:15:36The kicker here is that it goes once around the sun every 3,600 years.

00:15:40So a solar year for them is 3,600 of our years.

00:15:47Sitchin believed that there was a time during this 3,600-year orbit

00:15:52when this planet was actually relatively close to the Earth.

00:15:57And Sitchin then theorized the Anunnaki would then fire their rockets,

00:16:02and then they would come here to Earth.

00:16:05And that this was how they were interacting with humans.

00:16:11For decades, astronomers claimed that no such planet could exist in our solar system.

00:16:18But in 2016, Caltech astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown

00:16:24made a discovery that could prove this theory wrong.

00:16:28Batygin and Brown were using an interesting method

00:16:31of looking for other planets in the solar system.

00:16:33Namely, they were looking at dwarf planets and distant Kuiper Belt objects

00:16:37to see how they move.

00:16:40If they exhibit any strange behavior,

00:16:43astronomers can use that to theorize new planets.

00:16:46And what they found was a theoretical planet-sized mass

00:16:49orbiting in a hugely elliptical orbit around the sun.

00:16:53Astronomers have often suspected,

00:16:56because of certain gravitational anomalies and things,

00:16:58that there is still some other planet far out in our solar system,

00:17:04beyond Pluto.

00:17:06Astronomers call this other planet, Planet X.

00:17:10And it could be a very large planet.

00:17:13Astronomers cannot see it.

00:17:14But I would suspect that astronomers will eventually discover it

00:17:18and prove that it exists.

00:17:20But Tegin and Brown estimate that Planet X has a highly elliptical orbit

00:17:26and takes it thousands of years to make a single trip around our sun.

00:17:31This matches exactly what Zechariah Sitchin found

00:17:34in his translation of the ancient Sumerian tablets

00:17:37concerning an extra planet in our solar system.

00:17:40The thing about it is, is that if we discover Planet X,

00:17:45then we will also discover the Anunnaki.

00:17:48So they're absolutely entwined.

00:17:50The idea of the Anunnaki and the discovery of Planet X

00:17:53will prove one another.

00:17:56Could the Anunnaki gods that visited the ancient Sumerians

00:18:00really be from the same Planet X

00:18:02that astronomers have recently discovered?

00:18:05And has Earth, in fact, played host to alien visitors

00:18:09from multiple worlds?

00:18:12Perhaps further clues of extraterrestrial contact can be found

00:18:16by examining the accounts of a strange race of sky gods

00:18:20that is said to have come from the star Sirius.

00:18:24Mali, Africa, 1931.

00:18:37French anthropologist Marcel Griul treks through the Forbidding Desert

00:18:42in search of the mysterious Dogon tribe.

00:18:45When he finds them, he becomes fascinated by their culture and traditions.

00:18:50As Griul starts collecting Dogon legends,

00:18:55he notices an eerie similarity to ancient tales found across the globe.

00:19:01Tales of amphibious gods, in this case called Nomo,

00:19:05who came from the sky, lived in the sea, and helped mankind.

00:19:12They describe these Nomos as being very, like, mermaid or mermen-like,

00:19:17but bequeathing lots of knowledge of astronomy, math, and science

00:19:22to this ancient race.

00:19:24The Dogon would say that the Nomos were these extraterrestrial gods,

00:19:29but they needed a watery environment to live in,

00:19:33though they could come on land.

00:19:36Griul learns that their arrival is known as the Day of the Fish.

00:19:40The Dogon actually said,

00:19:43well, this was our creator god,

00:19:45Namo, who descended from the sky

00:19:48in a loud whirlwind of a storm of thunder, smoke, and lightning.

00:19:55But what struck Griul and shocked the world

00:19:59weren't the Dogon legends themselves,

00:20:01but where they said their amphibious gods came from.

00:20:05A star that no one on Earth knew existed until 1862,

00:20:11long after the Dogon claimed they knew of its existence.

00:20:16In the 1930s, when French anthropologists

00:20:19were first discussing the Nomo with these Dogon priests,

00:20:23the Dogon priests said that the Nomo

00:20:25were coming from the star system of Sirius.

00:20:28Well, the French anthropologists were amazed at that

00:20:33and were confused as well.

00:20:36According to the Dogon,

00:20:38their gods didn't come from Sirius A,

00:20:40a star that is clearly visible in the evening sky,

00:20:44but from its tiny companion,

00:20:47a dying star called Sirius B

00:20:49that can only be seen with advanced high-powered telescopes.

00:20:54Sirius A is the brightest star in the sky

00:20:57because it is very luminous

00:21:00and it is also fairly close to the Earth.

00:21:04In astronomy, it is a known fact

00:21:07that there is a Sirius A and a Sirius B.

00:21:11Sirius A can be seen

00:21:13and Sirius B, for us, is invisible

00:21:16because it's just too small.

00:21:19Now, the Dogon knew

00:21:21about the invisible companion star to Sirius.

00:21:25How did they know?

00:21:26For thousands of years,

00:21:32Sirius A has played an outsized role

00:21:35in the imagination of Greeks,

00:21:37Persians, Hindus, Romans, Polynesians,

00:21:41and countless others.

00:21:43The Egyptians even based their calendar on Sirius A.

00:21:48And some believe they aligned the Giza pyramids

00:21:51to Orion's belt,

00:21:53which points to Sirius A.

00:21:56Villages along the Nile

00:21:58and along the Euphrates

00:22:00and ancient Mesopotamia,

00:22:03they lined up their village dwellings

00:22:07to mimic the constellation in which Sirius sat.

00:22:12Sirius is one of the closest stars to us.

00:22:15It's 8.6 light-years away.

00:22:18Unlike the sun, which has a beautiful golden color,

00:22:21Sirius is a bluish-white color

00:22:23indicating it's much hotter than the surface of the sun.

00:22:28And that corresponds to it being more massive than the sun

00:22:32and burning hotter.

00:22:33It'll have a shorter lifespan.

00:22:34But how could the Dogon have known

00:22:41about the existence of Sirius B?

00:22:45Could they have at one time

00:22:47been in possession of advanced technology?

00:22:50Or could there be another,

00:22:51even more profound, explanation?

00:22:54The Dogon had an amazing degree of knowledge

00:22:57about the Sirius system.

00:22:58They knew that the orbits of the two stars

00:23:01were about 50 years, period.

00:23:03And that the invisible star was very dense

00:23:07and past its prime.

00:23:10They also knew that the brighter one

00:23:13was a larger star than the sun.

00:23:16The Dogon also knew that Sirius B

00:23:19is about the size of Earth

00:23:21and spins on its axis.

00:23:25There is no logical explanation

00:23:28for why the Dogon tribe knew

00:23:30about the Sirius star system naturally.

00:23:33We didn't have telescopes in those days.

00:23:35How did they know this?

00:23:37It's as if an E.T. came here

00:23:39and just told them all about that.

00:23:41It's an amazing story.

00:23:45One theory is maybe the aliens gave them this knowledge.

00:23:50It can't be ruled out.

00:23:51That's one possibility because they got it right on the dot.

00:23:55But if a race of amphibious Nomo came from Sirius B

00:23:59and gave the Dogon such gifts of knowledge,

00:24:02did they only visit this one desert tribe?

00:24:05Or did they visit other peoples in other lands?

00:24:11It would be one thing if there's only one legend of a fish man worldwide.

00:24:16But the Nomo is one story of dozens of amphibious bringers of knowledge to our ancestors.

00:24:27The ancient Hindus talk about this.

00:24:30The ancient Greeks,

00:24:31they all had these fish people

00:24:33that during the day taught mankind

00:24:37and then at night they wandered back into the ocean

00:24:41to just emerge the next day.

00:24:44If the Nomo from Sirius B

00:24:46visited numerous ancient cultures,

00:24:48is it possible that some physical evidence survived?

00:24:54Sierra Leone, Africa.

00:24:58The early 1990s.

00:25:00As civil war rages across the country,

00:25:07rebels begin forcing villagers to mine so-called blood diamonds.

00:25:12But from deep within the earth emerges a vast treasure they weren't expecting.

00:25:20Mysterious figures ranging from 5 to 10 inches tall.

00:25:25Often with reptilian or amphibian features.

00:25:30They're very strange statues.

00:25:33Some are clay.

00:25:35Some are of granite or limestone.

00:25:38They are humans and human figures with lizard heads.

00:25:43There are hundreds of them.

00:25:47Archaeologists date the statues,

00:25:49known as the Nomoly,

00:25:50to around 500 years old.

00:25:53When Europeans first came into contact

00:25:55with the people of Sierra Leone.

00:25:58But researchers point out

00:26:01that the statues were found buried

00:26:03as much as 150 feet deep,

00:26:06which would suggest

00:26:08that they are extremely ancient.

00:26:12Normally, the deeper you go,

00:26:14the more ancient things are.

00:26:17That indicates great antiquity.

00:26:19We know that Angelo Patoni was able to date the strata

00:26:26to 17,000 years old.

00:26:30We asked the chiefs,

00:26:31and they'll tell us they could be even older.

00:26:3417,000 years old?

00:26:36If true, it would make the Nomoly statues

00:26:42among the oldest man-made artifacts ever found

00:26:46and date them to 12,000 years before

00:26:50the first known civilizations on Earth.

00:26:52Could these curious artifacts

00:26:57and the Dogon tribe's intimate knowledge

00:27:00of a far-off star system

00:27:02provide evidence of contact in the ancient past

00:27:05with beings from Sirius B?

00:27:08Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

00:27:11and suggest there's proof

00:27:14of other habitable planets,

00:27:16most notably a star system

00:27:18that many cultures across the globe

00:27:20believe they originated from.

00:27:27Maui, Hawaii.

00:27:29October 19, 2017.

00:27:34Scientists at the University of Hawaii

00:27:36Haleakala Observatory

00:27:38detect a strange object

00:27:40traveling through our solar system.

00:27:43They initially catalog it as an asteroid,

00:27:46but after further examination,

00:27:48researchers observe

00:27:49that the object accelerated

00:27:51as it approached the sun,

00:27:53acting more like a comet,

00:27:55but without any other comet-like characteristics.

00:27:58The find forces astronomers

00:28:00to reclassify it as something entirely new,

00:28:04an interstellar object.

00:28:06We'd never seen anything like this

00:28:08in the solar system before.

00:28:10We'd get an estimate of its size

00:28:11at about 800 meters

00:28:13or half a kilometer in length.

00:28:16Roughly a cigar-like shape.

00:28:19It was moving very fast,

00:28:21a little more than 195,000 miles per hour.

00:28:25You get a chill sometimes

00:28:26when you understand something

00:28:28is very important or it's really exciting,

00:28:30and that's what I felt with this object.

00:28:33Our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to consist

00:28:37of 100,000 million stars,

00:28:40each indicating the presence of a solar system.

00:28:44Because the distances between them are so vast,

00:28:48astronomers believed it was impossible

00:28:50for an object from another solar system

00:28:52to reach our own.

00:28:54Until now.

00:28:55It just came from outside our solar system,

00:29:00meaning it wasn't material from our star being created.

00:29:04It's from a different star system somewhere else.

00:29:08That's historic, that we've actually seen it.

00:29:11We now know objects can travel

00:29:13from one star system to another.

00:29:17Researchers dubbed the interstellar visitor

00:29:19Oumuamua, a Hawaiian term,

00:29:22meaning a messenger from afar arriving first.

00:29:26Is it possible that the interstellar visitor

00:29:28was, in fact, a messenger?

00:29:31One sent on a mission to our solar system.

00:29:36Different scientists have analyzed the data

00:29:39and deduced that it's something very different

00:29:42to an asteroid or a comet.

00:29:44So the scientific data does point to it

00:29:46actually being some artificial creation.

00:29:49We've had open speculation

00:29:54about how this thing might be

00:29:57an interstellar spacecraft.

00:29:59Talk from a Harvard professor.

00:30:02The chair of Harvard's astronomy department,

00:30:05Dr. Avi Loeb,

00:30:06noted that the object seemed to follow

00:30:08the propulsion patterns of a new technology

00:30:11that is currently being tested

00:30:12for future space missions,

00:30:15known as solar sail propulsion.

00:30:17Large reflective sails capture sunlight

00:30:20to propel a craft through the vacuum of space.

00:30:24You can design, essentially, photon sails.

00:30:27So the idea has been to make a material

00:30:30that reflects photons, which is light,

00:30:32very efficiently.

00:30:33You deploy this,

00:30:34and you basically accelerate under starlight.

00:30:37And then you just cruise.

00:30:39With similar alien technology

00:30:41technology used to propel Oumuamua.

00:30:47It makes you wonder,

00:30:49you know, was that a targeted mission,

00:30:51some sort of probe

00:30:53that has been sent in

00:30:54to look for life?

00:30:57Before man actually went to the moon

00:30:59and walked on it,

00:30:59we sent a lot of probes

00:31:01around the moon to look at it.

00:31:02And it's quite likely

00:31:04that some version of NASA

00:31:06from some other star system

00:31:08could send a probe here to Earth.

00:31:14The trajectory of the interstellar object

00:31:16took it past the sun,

00:31:18where it made a turn

00:31:19and then ran parallel to Earth's orbit.

00:31:22It traveled between our planet and Mars

00:31:24before it began its journey

00:31:26out of our solar system.

00:31:28When Oumuamua arrived,

00:31:30nobody knew where it came from.

00:31:31Then in 2018,

00:31:33an astronomer

00:31:34at the University of Hertfordshire

00:31:35retraced its movements

00:31:37and discovered

00:31:38that it came from the Pleiades.

00:31:42We have to ask,

00:31:43is it possible

00:31:44that it was actually sent

00:31:45from the Pleiades?

00:31:47For ancient astronaut theorists,

00:31:50the revelation that Oumuamua

00:31:51traveled to our solar system

00:31:53from the area of the Pleiades star cluster

00:31:55is highly intriguing.

00:31:57The Pleiades figures

00:31:59into the creation stories

00:32:00of many ancient cultures

00:32:01from all around the world,

00:32:04where it was taught

00:32:05that divine beings

00:32:06came from these stars

00:32:07to seed life on Earth.

00:32:09If we look at the mythologies

00:32:11of the Pleiades around the world,

00:32:14there's some indication

00:32:15that this star cluster

00:32:16is in some way related

00:32:18to a visitation in ancient times.

00:32:21Located over 400 light years from Earth

00:32:24near the constellation of Taurus,

00:32:26the Pleiades is commonly recognized

00:32:29as seven bright stars,

00:32:31but actually consists of thousands.

00:32:36The Pleiades,

00:32:37everybody's heard of the Pleiades.

00:32:39They're also known

00:32:39as the seven sisters,

00:32:41because if you have

00:32:41really good eyesight,

00:32:42you can see seven stars

00:32:43in a very compact configuration

00:32:46in the winter sky.

00:32:49And in fact,

00:32:49there are a lot more stars than seven.

00:32:51There are actually 3,000 stars

00:32:53in the Pleiades.

00:32:57So the Pleiades is a star cluster.

00:33:00They're not separated

00:33:01by huge distances,

00:33:02but they occur in a small area.

00:33:05That's different from a constellation

00:33:07where the stars could be moving

00:33:09in all sorts of directions

00:33:10and are separated by huge distances.

00:33:15The importance of this massive star cluster

00:33:18to ancient peoples

00:33:19is revealed not only

00:33:21by their creation stories,

00:33:23but also in how they oriented

00:33:25their most important structures.

00:33:28All around the world,

00:33:29we find ancient structures

00:33:31that have alignments

00:33:33that infer a relationship

00:33:34to the Pleiades.

00:33:35Now, these can be found

00:33:36at places like Chaco Canyon,

00:33:38in Mesoamerica,

00:33:40in various parts of the world.

00:33:43It's clear that the ancient people

00:33:44wanted to incorporate

00:33:46the rising of the Pleiades

00:33:47in some way

00:33:48with the building

00:33:49of these megastructures.

00:33:52Additionally,

00:33:54ancient artwork and artifacts

00:33:55pay homage

00:33:56to these same stars,

00:33:57with one depiction

00:33:59dating back

00:33:59an incredible 18,000 years.

00:34:03Perhaps the earliest reference

00:34:05to the Pleiades

00:34:06is in the Lascaux Caves

00:34:08in France.

00:34:09But these go back

00:34:10thousands of years

00:34:11into antiquity,

00:34:13even before

00:34:14the written language.

00:34:15The Pleiades constellation

00:34:18shows up in various artifacts,

00:34:20one of them even being

00:34:21a Sumerian tablet relief

00:34:23that shows what appears

00:34:24to be some type of a god

00:34:25coming out of the Pleiades constellation.

00:34:28An interesting artifact

00:34:29coming out of the 1600s

00:34:30is the Neber Sky Disc,

00:34:32depicting the constellation

00:34:33of Pleiades.

00:34:36Worldwide,

00:34:36we find hundreds

00:34:38of references

00:34:39having to do

00:34:41with the Pleiades.

00:34:43Not just on one continent,

00:34:45not just in one culture,

00:34:46but in multiple continents,

00:34:48in multiple cultures worldwide.

00:34:50That, to me,

00:34:51indicates

00:34:52that something

00:34:53happened here on Earth

00:34:55having to do

00:34:56with someone

00:34:57visiting

00:34:58from the Pleiades.

00:35:00The seven stars

00:35:02making up

00:35:03the star cluster

00:35:04of the Pleiades

00:35:05are very often

00:35:07represented

00:35:08as human figures.

00:35:10In Greek mythology,

00:35:12they are

00:35:13seven sisters.

00:35:15And in India,

00:35:17they are associated

00:35:18with the seven rishi.

00:35:20These are wise benefactors

00:35:23to humanity

00:35:24from some kind

00:35:26of astronomical

00:35:27place in the sky.

00:35:30We have to wonder,

00:35:32why are the Pleiades

00:35:34being so specifically

00:35:36picked out

00:35:37of the night sky?

00:35:39Is it possible

00:35:40that the Pleiades

00:35:40are the place

00:35:42where our sky gods

00:35:44have come from?

00:35:47With thousands

00:35:48of stars

00:35:48in the Pleiades,

00:35:50could it be a place

00:35:51that contains

00:35:52an Earth-like planet?

00:35:54One that could have

00:35:55been the home planet

00:35:56for our extraterrestrial

00:35:58ancestors?

00:35:59The Kepler Space Telescope

00:36:01has found evidence

00:36:02of planets

00:36:03in the Pleiades.

00:36:04So,

00:36:05Kepler works

00:36:06by finding

00:36:06dips of light

00:36:07as a planet

00:36:08passes in front

00:36:09of the star

00:36:10that it's orbiting

00:36:10relative to the Earth.

00:36:12Astronomers were able

00:36:13to see that there

00:36:14is some dimming

00:36:15of stars

00:36:16in the Pleiades,

00:36:17which is likely

00:36:18caused by planets.

00:36:20Could it be

00:36:21that our ancient ancestors

00:36:23were visited

00:36:24by extraterrestrials

00:36:26who taught them

00:36:27about their home planet,

00:36:29deep in outer space?

00:36:31If ancient man

00:36:32was seeded

00:36:33by beings

00:36:34from the Pleiades

00:36:34as well

00:36:35as other star systems,

00:36:37could the desire

00:36:38to reconnect

00:36:39with our alien ancestors

00:36:40be embedded

00:36:41in our DNA?

00:36:44It would be

00:36:45man's constant fascination

00:36:46with the world's

00:36:47beyond our planet

00:36:48and unprecedented

00:36:50technological advancements

00:36:51in the 20th century

00:36:53that would finally

00:36:54launch humans

00:36:55into space

00:36:56and onto the moon.

00:37:03Cape Canaveral, Florida,

00:37:05February 8th, 2016.

00:37:09NASA and Lockheed Martin

00:37:10project managers

00:37:11announce preparations

00:37:13are underway

00:37:14for the exploration

00:37:15Mission One,

00:37:16a manned Orion spacecraft

00:37:18journey to the moon.

00:37:19The Chinese,

00:37:22Russian,

00:37:23and Indian space agencies

00:37:24follow suit,

00:37:26unveiling their own

00:37:27manned lunar exploration plans.

00:37:31These missions

00:37:32would be the first time

00:37:33humans traveled

00:37:34beyond low Earth orbit

00:37:36since Apollo 17

00:37:37in 1972.

00:37:40But what could be

00:37:42the reason

00:37:42for this renewed interest

00:37:44in the moon?

00:37:44and just why

00:37:47has it taken humanity

00:37:48so long

00:37:49to go back?

00:37:54Liftoff.

00:37:55We have a liftoff.

00:37:56Liftoff on Apollo 11.

00:38:01Tranquility base here.

00:38:02The Eagle has landed.

00:38:06July 20th, 1969.

00:38:10Okay, Neil,

00:38:11we can see you

00:38:12coming down the ladder now.

00:38:13Okay, I just checked.

00:38:15Over 600 million people

00:38:17worldwide

00:38:18are glued

00:38:19to their television sets

00:38:20as they watch

00:38:21the shadowy figure

00:38:22of astronaut

00:38:23Neil Armstrong

00:38:24slowly step off

00:38:26the ladder

00:38:26of the Apollo 11

00:38:27lunar module

00:38:28onto the surface

00:38:29of the moon.

00:38:36That's one small step

00:38:38for man,

00:38:40one giant leap

00:38:41for mankind.

00:38:43The moment

00:38:45marks one of the most

00:38:47important events

00:38:48in the history

00:38:49of civilization.

00:38:51It is the first time

00:38:52a human being

00:38:53has set foot

00:38:55on alien terrain.

00:38:58Apollo 11

00:38:59is what people think

00:39:00of when you talk

00:39:01about Apollo today

00:39:02in Neil Armstrong

00:39:03setting foot

00:39:04on the moon.

00:39:05The moon is

00:39:07roughly 220,000 miles

00:39:09away from the Earth.

00:39:10Even the best telescopes

00:39:14can't see what you can see

00:39:15when you're just

00:39:16standing on the surface.

00:39:19Before we went

00:39:20to the moon,

00:39:21NASA was cautioned

00:39:23by doomsday predictors

00:39:25and different people.

00:39:27People wonder

00:39:27what it would be like

00:39:28on a place like that,

00:39:30so different

00:39:31from this place here.

00:39:33The idea of landing

00:39:35people on the moon

00:39:36has been in the imagination

00:39:38long before the technology

00:39:39was anywhere near

00:39:40making it possible.

00:39:42After all,

00:39:43to be on the moon

00:39:44is to step

00:39:45into a mythological

00:39:46landscape,

00:39:48the place of stories,

00:39:49the place of wonder,

00:39:50to step into the heavens

00:39:51and stand on ground

00:39:53of a kind

00:39:54that is not Earth.

00:39:56It was a huge moment

00:40:00for the human spirit.

00:40:02While it was Americans

00:40:03that put a man

00:40:04on the moon,

00:40:06it was considered

00:40:11a victory

00:40:11for all of humanity.

00:40:14Suddenly,

00:40:14science fiction

00:40:15became real,

00:40:17and it opened up

00:40:19a new age

00:40:20of exploration.

00:40:20I think that

00:40:24every journey

00:40:25starts with a first step.

00:40:27The moon

00:40:28was our first step

00:40:29into the universe,

00:40:31into our solar system.

00:40:33It is awesome

00:40:34to think that

00:40:35already 50 years ago,

00:40:38we became

00:40:39extraterrestrials

00:40:40on another planet.

00:40:45The moon

00:40:46has captivated

00:40:48the imagination

00:40:48of humanity.

00:40:50since the dawn

00:40:51of civilization.

00:40:54It is a quarter

00:40:55the size of the Earth

00:40:56and is, by far,

00:40:59the most dominant

00:41:00celestial body

00:41:01in the night sky.

00:41:04It takes about

00:41:0530 days

00:41:06to go around

00:41:07the Earth.

00:41:09The moon glows,

00:41:10and that's not because

00:41:11of any property

00:41:11within the moon,

00:41:12it's reflecting

00:41:13the rays of the sun

00:41:14which causes it to glow.

00:41:16The reason that

00:41:17the moon has phases

00:41:18is that

00:41:19the Earth

00:41:20blocks the light

00:41:22of the sun

00:41:22and as the moon

00:41:24moves around

00:41:25the Earth

00:41:26so it incrementally

00:41:27gets a little bit more

00:41:28and a little bit more

00:41:29of the sun's rays.

00:41:31The moon's importance

00:41:32is very great.

00:41:34It leads to tides

00:41:36planets, which help

00:41:37life transition from

00:41:39living in the ocean

00:41:41to living on land.

00:41:43It also stabilizes

00:41:45the Earth's tilt

00:41:46relative to its orbit.

00:41:49Without the moon,

00:41:50gravitational influences

00:41:51can cause the poles

00:41:53of planets to wander around

00:41:55kind of drunkenly,

00:41:57like a drunken sailor.

00:41:58The Earth would have been

00:42:00a much more chaotic place

00:42:01for life,

00:42:02especially advanced life

00:42:04to develop

00:42:05if it wasn't for the moon.

00:42:09While the moon

00:42:10is largely responsible

00:42:12for allowing life

00:42:13to flourish on Earth,

00:42:15this celestial body itself

00:42:17is inhospitable.

00:42:19It has no breathable oxygen

00:42:22and temperatures

00:42:24on the surface

00:42:25reach extremes

00:42:26from 253 degrees Fahrenheit

00:42:29when it's facing the sun

00:42:30to minus 243 degrees

00:42:33in the shade.

00:42:36It was a very serious environment

00:42:37because there's no oxygen.

00:42:39So the astronauts,

00:42:40once they were on the moon,

00:42:42they have to be

00:42:42completely sealed.

00:42:44It's surface gravity,

00:42:46which is what really counts

00:42:48if you're going to go there.

00:42:49It's about a sixth

00:42:49of that on Earth,

00:42:50which is why

00:42:51when you see those grainy images

00:42:52of the early astronauts,

00:42:53they're sort of bouncing around

00:42:55and the moon has no atmosphere whatever.

00:43:02The astronauts,

00:43:03once they were on the moon,

00:43:04suddenly they were able

00:43:05to look at the world

00:43:06that they'd grown up on,

00:43:07the Earth,

00:43:08from a different place.

00:43:10They were able to see

00:43:11all of mankind

00:43:13in all its tininess

00:43:14in the universe.

00:43:16And that, I know,

00:43:17had a very profound effect

00:43:18on the astronauts.

00:43:23Reaching the moon

00:43:24was such an unbelievable feat

00:43:26that even to this day,

00:43:28many people are convinced

00:43:29the entire event

00:43:31was actually staged

00:43:32in a Hollywood studio.

00:43:35But ancient astronaut theorists suggest

00:43:38not only did we land on the moon,

00:43:41but what we found there

00:43:43was more incredible

00:43:44than we know.

00:43:46During the 1969

00:43:47Apollo moon mission,

00:43:50after the landing,

00:43:51there was a very strange

00:43:52two-minute gap

00:43:53in radio transmissions.

00:43:55And what happened

00:43:57during those two minutes

00:43:58has been subject

00:43:59to a lot of controversy.

00:44:00from the NASA

00:44:02to the NASA

00:44:03to the NASA

00:44:03radio check,

00:44:04over.

00:44:07Columbia,

00:44:08this is Houston,

00:44:09over.

00:44:13According to scientist

00:44:15and NASA researcher

00:44:16Otto Bender,

00:44:18various ham radio operators

00:44:20were able to intercept

00:44:21secret communications

00:44:23with mission control

00:44:24that were not made public.

00:44:26The astronauts

00:44:28apparently talked about

00:44:30seeing extraterrestrial objects

00:44:33on the moon,

00:44:35including flying saucers

00:44:37parked along the edge

00:44:39of a crater

00:44:40within their view.

00:44:43Now, the truth of it is

00:44:44is that each of the astronauts

00:44:46had a separate medical channel.

00:44:49That channel was not public

00:44:51and it could have been

00:44:52very easily used

00:44:54to communicate information

00:44:55that you didn't want

00:44:57to be heard

00:44:57over the general

00:44:58public transmissions.

00:45:00What's really interesting

00:45:01about that story, though,

00:45:02is the fact that

00:45:03within 30 minutes

00:45:04of the landing on the moon,

00:45:06that story was circulating

00:45:07around NASA

00:45:08that, hey, guess what?

00:45:10They saw something

00:45:10on the ground of a crater,

00:45:11they were all upset,

00:45:12they didn't know what to do,

00:45:13they didn't know

00:45:13if they should go out.

00:45:16It is interesting

00:45:17when you watch

00:45:17the feed

00:45:19of when they came back

00:45:20from the moon.

00:45:21They're not sitting there

00:45:22jumping up and down

00:45:23for joy and saying,

00:45:24I had the most incredible

00:45:25experience of my life,

00:45:26I was on the moon.

00:45:27They're not saying that,

00:45:28they look very sullen,

00:45:30very depressed,

00:45:31they're looking down.

00:45:32They almost look like

00:45:33they want to vomit,

00:45:34that's how disturbed

00:45:36they look.

00:45:38Could they have seen

00:45:39something there

00:45:40that they didn't want

00:45:42to tell the public

00:45:42because of the implications?

00:45:44I believe that

00:45:48what this country

00:45:52set out to do

00:45:52was something

00:45:55that was going

00:45:55to be done

00:45:56sooner or later.

00:45:59We find for the first time

00:46:00that man has

00:46:01the flexibility

00:46:03or the option

00:46:04of either walking

00:46:06this planet

00:46:06or some other planet.

00:46:08it's a beginning

00:46:11of a new age.

00:46:18After Apollo 11,

00:46:20NASA would send

00:46:21six more manned missions

00:46:23to the moon,

00:46:24culminating

00:46:25with Apollo 17

00:46:26in 1972.

00:46:29One of the most

00:46:30interesting questions

00:46:31with regard to

00:46:33our interaction

00:46:34with the moon

00:46:35is why we have

00:46:37never gone back

00:46:37there again

00:46:38since the Apollo missions.

00:46:40And what else

00:46:41is very telling

00:46:42is that although

00:46:42the USSR at the time

00:46:44was getting

00:46:46to be quite able

00:46:47to send its own

00:46:48astronauts to the moon,

00:46:49it never seems

00:46:50to have done so.

00:46:52Could it be

00:46:53that there were

00:46:54agencies associated

00:46:56with the moon,

00:46:57aliens or other beings

00:46:59who had warned

00:47:00humanity to stay away

00:47:02for some reason?

00:47:05Is it possible

00:47:08that the American

00:47:08astronauts

00:47:09were not alone

00:47:10on the moon?

00:47:12Is that why

00:47:13after Apollo 17,

00:47:15we never went back?

00:47:18Some ancient

00:47:19astronaut theorists

00:47:20propose

00:47:21an even more

00:47:22incredible possibility

00:47:23that the moon

00:47:25came to orbit Earth

00:47:26not by chance,

00:47:28but by design.

00:47:29humans have been

00:47:35mesmerized by the moon

00:47:36since the dawn of man.

00:47:40And although

00:47:41many theories

00:47:42have been proposed,

00:47:44scientists

00:47:44cannot say

00:47:46with absolute certainty

00:47:47how this celestial object

00:47:49came into being.

00:47:53When I was a student,

00:47:54nobody really knew

00:47:55where the moon came from

00:47:56and because it's

00:47:57so relatively big,

00:47:58this was a real problem.

00:48:01And I think

00:48:01that there is

00:48:02a tendency to think

00:48:03that moons get

00:48:05somehow captured

00:48:06by the parent planets.

00:48:08If you've got

00:48:09one body here

00:48:10and another body

00:48:11coming along,

00:48:12it can't just

00:48:12get trapped

00:48:13into orbit like that.

00:48:15The difficulty there

00:48:16is just basic physics.

00:48:18So this remained

00:48:19a puzzle

00:48:19until about 20 years ago

00:48:21when another theory

00:48:22came along,

00:48:23and that is

00:48:23that the proto-Earth

00:48:25was very early on

00:48:26in the history

00:48:26of the solar system

00:48:27hit by a Mars-sized body.

00:48:32Hit obliquely

00:48:32that this Mars-sized body

00:48:35plowed into the center

00:48:36of the Earth

00:48:36and became the Earth's core.

00:48:37And a lot of the outer material

00:48:38got stripped off

00:48:39by this gargantuan collision

00:48:41and coalesced

00:48:43and coalesced

00:48:43to form the moon.

00:48:45Now,

00:48:46they had to come up

00:48:47with a very bizarre theory

00:48:49for how the moon

00:48:50came into being

00:48:52because all the conventional theories

00:48:55don't make any sense.

00:48:57The best theory

00:48:58of the moon's formation

00:48:59is phantasmagorically

00:49:02catastrophic,

00:49:04collision of two things,

00:49:06you know,

00:49:07at just the right angle

00:49:08to form this belt

00:49:09of debris

00:49:09that then formed the moon.

00:49:11But the moon,

00:49:13its exact size

00:49:15is such

00:49:16that it gives us

00:49:17total eclipses.

00:49:18Its disk

00:49:19exactly covers

00:49:20the sun.

00:49:22And the chances

00:49:23of that occurring

00:49:24are so

00:49:25literally

00:49:27astronomically small.

00:49:29It's,

00:49:30it's very disturbing.

00:49:32The sun's diameter

00:49:34is 400 times

00:49:35greater than the moon.

00:49:37And coincidentally,

00:49:38the sun

00:49:39also happens to be

00:49:40nearly precisely

00:49:42400 times

00:49:43further away.

00:49:45This is the reason

00:49:46that the sun

00:49:47and the moon

00:49:47appear the same size

00:49:49in the earth's sky

00:49:50and why we on earth

00:49:52can experience

00:49:53eclipses

00:49:54of the sun.

00:49:56It's just perfectly

00:49:57in that orbit

00:49:58to eclipse our sun.

00:50:00The odds of

00:50:01the moon being

00:50:02in that orbit

00:50:02accidentally

00:50:03are a zillion

00:50:05to one.

00:50:06So that right there

00:50:08is evidence

00:50:09that our moon

00:50:10is in a perfect orbit

00:50:13around our planet

00:50:14that's not accidental.

00:50:17In order to have

00:50:18a solar eclipse,

00:50:19the moon has to be

00:50:21exactly the size

00:50:22that it is,

00:50:23which is 2,160 miles.

00:50:26Not 2,161,

00:50:28not 2,159,

00:50:30but 2,160 miles.

00:50:32At its equator.

00:50:34And there are people

00:50:35out there

00:50:36that actually think

00:50:36that's a coincidence.

00:50:38The fact is

00:50:40that that is by design.

00:50:42Throughout our

00:50:44observable galaxy,

00:50:45this relationship

00:50:46and others

00:50:47have not been duplicated.

00:50:50Other moons

00:50:50are sizably smaller

00:50:52by comparison

00:50:53to their mother planet.

00:50:55Earth's satellite

00:50:56not only orbits

00:50:58closer than it should

00:50:59for its size,

00:51:00it is also the only moon

00:51:02in the solar system

00:51:03that has a near-perfect

00:51:04circular orbit.

00:51:06And no other lunar bodies

00:51:08are known

00:51:09to have such a stabilizing role

00:51:11as the moon has

00:51:12with the Earth.

00:51:14Recent computer simulations

00:51:15have shown

00:51:16that without the moon's presence,

00:51:18the Earth's axis tilt

00:51:19would be completely different

00:51:20than it is today.

00:51:22We might not even have seasons

00:51:23as we know them presently.

00:51:25Without the seasons,

00:51:26it could be very difficult

00:51:28for life on Earth.

00:51:29So the moon is actually

00:51:31performing

00:51:31an incredible function.

00:51:33It's life-sustaining.

00:51:35Without it,

00:51:36we might not be here.

00:51:38There are so many peculiarities

00:51:40about the way the moon

00:51:41has affected the Earth

00:51:42that one might be forgiven

00:51:44for believing

00:51:45that there is intelligence

00:51:46behind it,

00:51:47that something made it that way.

00:51:50The moon is so strange,

00:51:53so odd,

00:51:53in terms of what we find elsewhere

00:51:56in the solar system,

00:51:57and particularly in terms

00:51:58of what it does for the Earth,

00:52:01having made the Earth

00:52:02into a haven for life,

00:52:04that one feels obliged

00:52:07to ask the question,

00:52:08could such things

00:52:09have come about by chance?

00:52:13Was it placed there deliberately?

00:52:15Was it engineered?

00:52:17Maybe by aliens?

00:52:18Is our whole existence

00:52:22a planned event?

00:52:25Ancient astronaut theorists

00:52:27suggest that the perfect size

00:52:29and placement of the moon

00:52:31may not be the product

00:52:33of mere chance,

00:52:34but was engineered

00:52:35by extraterrestrial beings

00:52:37in Earth's prehistory.

00:52:40As evidence,

00:52:41they point to ancient accounts

00:52:43that speak of a time

00:52:44before this celestial object

00:52:46even existed.

00:52:50Beginning in the 5th century BC,

00:52:53Roman and Greek authors

00:52:54wrote of a time

00:52:55before there was a moon

00:52:57in the heavens.

00:52:59Allusions to this

00:53:00can also be found

00:53:02in the Hebrew Bible.

00:53:04And there are Zulu legends

00:53:06that say that the moon

00:53:07was brought to Earth

00:53:08hundreds of generations ago.

00:53:11Wawani and Mpanku

00:53:14were the names

00:53:15of two Zulu deities

00:53:17from prehistory.

00:53:19The Zulus have a legend

00:53:21that it was they

00:53:22who brought the moon

00:53:23into existence.

00:53:25They supposedly did so

00:53:26by stealing an egg

00:53:28from a giant sky dragon,

00:53:31hollowing out the center,

00:53:32the yoke of the egg,

00:53:33and then rolling

00:53:34the resultant planet

00:53:36across the sky

00:53:37to become the moon.

00:53:39And the reason

00:53:39that the Zulus say

00:53:40the moon was put there

00:53:42was to keep an eye

00:53:43on human beings.

00:53:45The Zulu legend

00:53:45is really interesting.

00:53:46We first heard about it

00:53:47from a Zulu shaman

00:53:48named Kredo Mutwa.

00:53:50And he talked about

00:53:51the fact that

00:53:52the moon was towed in

00:53:53to our orbit.

00:53:55And when it did so,

00:53:56it caused all kinds

00:53:57of floods and cataclysms

00:54:00and it changed

00:54:01the axis of the planet.

00:54:02And you can't help

00:54:04but wonder,

00:54:05could the moon

00:54:05be an artificial satellite?

00:54:07Could the moon

00:54:08have come from somewhere else

00:54:09and is now used

00:54:11as an observational base

00:54:12for extraterrestrial beings?

00:54:16Is it possible

00:54:17that the Zulu legend

00:54:18is true,

00:54:20as ancient astronaut

00:54:21theorists suggest?

00:54:23Was our moon

00:54:25towed into place

00:54:26in the remote past?

00:54:28Perhaps further clues

00:54:30can be found

00:54:31by examining

00:54:32the scientific evidence

00:54:33suggesting

00:54:34that the moon

00:54:35is, in fact,

00:54:37hollow.

00:54:44The surface of the moon

00:54:45is scarred

00:54:46with tens of thousands

00:54:48of impact craters

00:54:49of various sizes.

00:54:52Scientists suggest

00:54:53this is due to the fact

00:54:55that there has never been

00:54:56an atmosphere

00:54:57on the moon

00:54:58to help protect it

00:54:59from bombardment

00:55:00by space debris.

00:55:03There are no natural

00:55:05erosive forces,

00:55:06like wind

00:55:07or flowing water

00:55:08to affect its surface.

00:55:11And there is

00:55:11little geologic activity

00:55:13to conceal damage

00:55:14done throughout

00:55:15the moon's history.

00:55:17When you study

00:55:18the distribution

00:55:19of craters,

00:55:20you find that

00:55:20the surface

00:55:21is totally saturated,

00:55:22that is,

00:55:23that there are craters

00:55:23within craters

00:55:24within craters,

00:55:25right down

00:55:26to the smallest scale

00:55:27of size.

00:55:28One of the things

00:55:30that's really interesting

00:55:30about lunar craters

00:55:31is that even though

00:55:32some of them

00:55:33are very large

00:55:33and some of them

00:55:34are very small,

00:55:35they all seem

00:55:36to have the same depth.

00:55:37And that really

00:55:38shouldn't happen

00:55:39on a planetary body.

00:55:40There should be

00:55:40variation in depth.

00:55:42So why are the moon's

00:55:44craters so uniform?

00:55:46It's really,

00:55:47really unusual

00:55:47and it's really

00:55:48not explainable

00:55:49in terms of

00:55:50conventional

00:55:50or established

00:55:51geophysics.

00:55:53Some of the craters

00:55:54on the moon

00:55:55are nowhere near similar

00:55:57to what they

00:55:58should look like.

00:56:00In fact,

00:56:01they are incredibly

00:56:03wide craters

00:56:04and wherever

00:56:05the impact point is,

00:56:07they're convex,

00:56:08which means

00:56:09they're still

00:56:09the bulge

00:56:10of the moon

00:56:10so this doesn't

00:56:12make any sense.

00:56:14It's likely

00:56:15that there is something

00:56:16under the lunar surface

00:56:18which is very resilient

00:56:19and which is preventing

00:56:21craters going

00:56:22any deeper

00:56:22than they do.

00:56:24This could only really

00:56:25be either much

00:56:26harder rock

00:56:27which it can't be

00:56:28because of the mass

00:56:29of the moon

00:56:29or alternatively

00:56:31a metal sphere

00:56:33of some kind

00:56:34which is preventing

00:56:35more damage.

00:56:40Does the uniform depth

00:56:41of the craters

00:56:42on the moon

00:56:43suggest some sort

00:56:44of metallic barrier

00:56:46underneath moon rock

00:56:47and dust?

00:56:49But if so,

00:56:51why wouldn't

00:56:51mainstream scientists

00:56:53acknowledge this?

00:56:56Ancient astronaut theorists

00:56:58suggest

00:56:58that by doing so

00:57:00they might also

00:57:01have to acknowledge

00:57:02that the moon

00:57:03may be hollow.

00:57:08Yankee clipper, Houston.

00:57:10November 20th, 1969.

00:57:15During their ascent

00:57:16back to the command module,

00:57:18Commander Charles Conrad, Jr.

00:57:20and lunar module pilot

00:57:22Alan B

00:57:23release the Apollo 12

00:57:25launch vehicle

00:57:26and crash it

00:57:27back to the moon.

00:57:28Apollo 12,

00:57:29Houston,

00:57:30the LM is on its way down.

00:57:32Roger.

00:57:35Upon impact,

00:57:37something very unexpected

00:57:38happened.

00:57:40The moon

00:57:40was said to have

00:57:41seismically reverberated

00:57:43like a bell

00:57:43for more than an hour.

00:57:46With Apollo 12,

00:57:48people referred to a crash.

00:57:49It wasn't really a crash.

00:57:50It was a

00:57:51aimed deorbit

00:57:52of the rocket

00:57:53used to lift off

00:57:54the lunar module.

00:57:56And the crew

00:57:57separated

00:57:58the launch vehicle

00:57:59and crashed it

00:58:01back into the ground

00:58:02right close to

00:58:04where they had

00:58:04a seismograph

00:58:05that they had

00:58:06installed down there.

00:58:08Well, it vibrated.

00:58:10So it was kind of

00:58:11an early clue

00:58:12as to how solid

00:58:13was the surface

00:58:14of the moon.

00:58:15What was amazing

00:58:17about this

00:58:18is that suddenly

00:58:19the moon

00:58:20began to ring

00:58:21like a bell

00:58:22and did so

00:58:23for nearly an hour.

00:58:26Dr. Wernher von Braun,

00:58:27who was then

00:58:27the head of NASA,

00:58:28decided that

00:58:29for Apollo 13,

00:58:30they were going

00:58:31to intentionally

00:58:32crash a heavier portion

00:58:34of the rocket

00:58:35into the lunar surface.

00:58:37And when they did this,

00:58:39the moon

00:58:39rang like a gong

00:58:41this time

00:58:42for over three hours

00:58:44into a depth

00:58:45of over 20 miles.

00:58:49This was not expected

00:58:51and it still puzzles

00:58:53a lot of scientists today.

00:58:55The inference is

00:58:56that the moon

00:58:57must be hollow

00:58:58because the moon

00:59:00is made

00:59:00predominantly

00:59:01on the surface

00:59:02of a kind of rock

00:59:03called basalt.

00:59:04Although it's

00:59:05a very lightweight rock,

00:59:07it also absorbs

00:59:09impact extremely well.

00:59:10and so

00:59:12if the whole

00:59:13of the moon

00:59:13was made

00:59:14of that kind of rock,

00:59:15you wouldn't expect

00:59:16it to reverberate

00:59:18when a large impact

00:59:19took place.

00:59:21The reason

00:59:21that this is played down

00:59:23is because

00:59:24the idea

00:59:25of the moon

00:59:25being hollow

00:59:26just contradicts

00:59:28what we know

00:59:28about physics.

00:59:32In his 1966 book,

00:59:35Intelligent Life

00:59:36in the Universe,

00:59:37renowned scientist

00:59:38and astronomer

00:59:39Carl Sagan

00:59:40defined modern scholarship

00:59:42regarding the composition

00:59:44of celestial bodies

00:59:45throughout the cosmos.

00:59:47Carl Sagan suggested

00:59:49that a natural satellite

00:59:51cannot be a hollow object.

00:59:54This is very odd

00:59:55because why would the moon

00:59:58be vibrating

00:59:58unless it's a hollow object?

01:00:01That would suggest

01:00:03it's artificial.

01:00:04significant portions

01:00:07of the moon

01:00:08may have been hollowed out.

01:00:10If that is the case,

01:00:12the chances are

01:00:13that was not achieved naturally.

01:00:15That would have to have

01:00:16been achieved artificially.

01:00:18This brings up

01:00:18the important question,

01:00:20who would have had

01:00:20the ability,

01:00:21the skills

01:00:22and the technology

01:00:23to do that?

01:00:24Certainly not us.

01:00:26That would only have

01:00:27to be the work

01:00:27of extraterrestrials

01:00:28and no one else.

01:00:33Is it possible

01:00:34that the moon

01:00:35is not only hollow,

01:00:37but also

01:00:38an artificial structure?

01:00:41And if so,

01:00:42could it be

01:00:43an extraterrestrial creation?

01:00:45Moscow, Russia,

01:00:55July 1970.

01:00:59After years

01:01:00of studying findings

01:01:02from various moon missions,

01:01:05two government scientists,

01:01:07Mikhail Vassin

01:01:08and Alexander Shcherbakov,

01:01:11publish an article

01:01:12in Sputnik magazine

01:01:13revealing their shocking conclusion

01:01:16about the nature

01:01:17of the moon.

01:01:19Their theory

01:01:20is that the moon

01:01:21is likely a creation

01:01:23of alien intelligence

01:01:24that was brought to Earth

01:01:26in the remote past.

01:01:31Two Russian physicists,

01:01:33Vassin and Shcherbakov,

01:01:35came up with the idea

01:01:36that the moon

01:01:37must be an artificial object.

01:01:39They based their ideas

01:01:41on, first of all,

01:01:42the fact that it appeared

01:01:44that the moon was hollow.

01:01:46Since no hollow planet

01:01:48could exist

01:01:49according to

01:01:50the known laws of physics,

01:01:52that would mean

01:01:53that the moon

01:01:54had to be an artificial,

01:01:55an engineered object.

01:01:58This article

01:01:59was quite groundbreaking.

01:02:01In fact,

01:02:02what they did

01:02:03is to fundamentally

01:02:04redefine scholarship

01:02:05around what we think

01:02:07the moon is.

01:02:09Based on the maximum depth

01:02:11of the moon craters,

01:02:12Vassin and Shcherbakov

01:02:13proposed that the surface

01:02:16was only two and a half

01:02:17miles thick.

01:02:19NASA scientists

01:02:20had determined

01:02:21that this moon dust

01:02:22primarily consisted

01:02:24of chromium,

01:02:25titanium,

01:02:26and zirconium.

01:02:28In their publication,

01:02:30Vassin and Shcherbakov

01:02:31noted if a material

01:02:33had to be devised

01:02:35to protect a giant

01:02:36artificial satellite

01:02:37from the unfavorable effects

01:02:39of temperature,

01:02:41cosmic radiation,

01:02:42and meteorite bombardment,

01:02:44the experts

01:02:45would probably have hit

01:02:47on precisely

01:02:48these elements.

01:02:50Now,

01:02:50they themselves

01:02:51proposed

01:02:52that this suggestion

01:02:53is outlandish.

01:02:55However,

01:02:56only through their calculations

01:02:58and all the mathematics

01:03:00they determined

01:03:01that their theory

01:03:02is correct.

01:03:04We're talking people

01:03:06in academia

01:03:06who may perhaps

01:03:08lose their position

01:03:10at the universities.

01:03:11I don't think anybody

01:03:12would publish a paper

01:03:13like this

01:03:14unless they were

01:03:15100% convinced

01:03:17that their findings

01:03:18are true.

01:03:19The entire object

01:03:21may be

01:03:22of artificial origin.

01:03:24And if that is the case,

01:03:26my question is,

01:03:27who built the moon,

01:03:29who placed it here,

01:03:31and how long ago?

01:03:32Would I discount

01:03:36the fact

01:03:36that the moon

01:03:37is a foreign object,

01:03:39a spaceship,

01:03:41a death star?

01:03:43I don't think

01:03:44you're going to rule

01:03:44that out.

01:03:46Is it possible

01:03:47that the moon

01:03:48is actually

01:03:49a spacecraft?

01:03:51And might it have

01:03:52allowed extraterrestrials

01:03:54to discreetly monitor

01:03:55our planet?

01:03:56If so,

01:03:58did these visitors

01:03:59come from distant stars

01:04:00or from planets

01:04:02within our own solar system?

01:04:05Clues may be found

01:04:06as we travel deeper

01:04:08into outer space

01:04:09to a planet

01:04:10some believe

01:04:11was once

01:04:12our alien home,

01:04:14the red planet,

01:04:16Mars.

01:04:16Houston, Texas.

01:04:23June 7,

01:04:252017.

01:04:27At Johnson Space Center,

01:04:29Vice President Mike Pence

01:04:31announces

01:04:32NASA's 2017

01:04:33astronaut class.

01:04:35As American astronauts,

01:04:37you may yet return

01:04:38our nation to the moon.

01:04:40You may be the first

01:04:40to travel to Mars.

01:04:41You may have experiences

01:04:43that we can only imagine,

01:04:45those of us

01:04:46who walk on terror firm.

01:04:48These 12 men and women

01:04:49were chosen

01:04:50from a record

01:04:5118,300 applicants,

01:04:54more than doubling

01:04:55the previous record

01:04:56of 8,000

01:04:57set four decades earlier

01:04:59in 1978.

01:05:03Today,

01:05:04humankind's desire

01:05:05to travel to space

01:05:06has never been greater

01:05:07and establishing colonies

01:05:09off Earth

01:05:10is not only a possibility

01:05:12but a priority.

01:05:14The only question

01:05:15is

01:05:16where will we go first?

01:05:18In the near term,

01:05:20there are three basic locations.

01:05:23There's going to the moon,

01:05:25there's going to Mars,

01:05:27and then there is

01:05:28free space.

01:05:29This is going to the asteroids

01:05:30and using the asteroidal materials

01:05:32to build colonies.

01:05:35I think you can look

01:05:36at all three of those

01:05:38as options

01:05:39in the near term.

01:05:40I firmly believe that

01:05:43a single planet species

01:05:45is not long to survive

01:05:47and that we really have

01:05:49to be able to move out

01:05:50into the solar system.

01:05:53Early on

01:05:54in the evolution

01:05:54of the solar system,

01:05:56we believe Venus,

01:05:57Earth, and Mars

01:05:58had a significant amount

01:06:00of water,

01:06:01and they all evolved differently.

01:06:03Venus went through

01:06:04a runaway greenhouse effect,

01:06:07the water evaporated,

01:06:08and now the temperature

01:06:09is so high

01:06:10and the pressure

01:06:11is so high.

01:06:12It's a place

01:06:13we just can't inhabit.

01:06:15And when you think

01:06:16about that,

01:06:16what is the next place

01:06:18for humankind to go?

01:06:19It's Mars.

01:06:22It's smaller than the Earth,

01:06:23but it's got a lot

01:06:24of the basic characteristics

01:06:26and it's a great place

01:06:28to start and work from.

01:06:31I think the most common

01:06:32misconception about Mars

01:06:33is that it's going to be easier

01:06:35than it actually is.

01:06:37Right now,

01:06:38the International Space Station

01:06:39is orbiting 250 miles above us.

01:06:42The moon is 250,000 miles away,

01:06:45a factor of 1,000.

01:06:46The trip to Mars

01:06:47will take you on a trip

01:06:49that's 250 million miles away.

01:06:51This is not

01:06:53a simple rocket trip.

01:06:55Wernher von Braun

01:06:56built the Saturn V rocket

01:06:58to get astronauts

01:06:59to the moon.

01:07:01We took three days

01:07:02to go there

01:07:02in the Saturn V.

01:07:05Going to Mars

01:07:06is at least 240 days

01:07:08given current technology.

01:07:10And that's not an easy trip.

01:07:13While a manned mission

01:07:14to the Red Planet

01:07:15will be a long

01:07:16and perilous journey,

01:07:18experts say

01:07:19Mars has many advantages

01:07:21for human colonization.

01:07:24Temperature fluctuations

01:07:25are less extreme

01:07:26than those of the moon,

01:07:27for example.

01:07:28And its gravity

01:07:29is more Earth-like.

01:07:32People don't seem

01:07:32to be terraforming the moon.

01:07:34Mars is a little easier.

01:07:35Mars already has

01:07:36an atmosphere.

01:07:37There's a lot of real estate.

01:07:39I mean,

01:07:39you could do this.

01:07:41For thousands of years,

01:07:43Mars has practically been

01:07:45a human obsession.

01:07:47Even before it was known

01:07:48to be a planet,

01:07:50it was distinguished

01:07:51from the other nearby stars

01:07:52by its deep amber color.

01:07:55Mars was referred to

01:07:57as Nurgle

01:07:57by the Babylonians,

01:07:59the great hero,

01:07:59also a god of war.

01:08:01In Greece,

01:08:03they referred to Mars

01:08:04as Aries,

01:08:05the god of war.

01:08:06The god Mars,

01:08:08the god of war,

01:08:09the god of aggression,

01:08:10comes from this

01:08:11particularly visible

01:08:13heavenly body.

01:08:15Then,

01:08:15I wonder

01:08:16if the desire,

01:08:17the quest,

01:08:18the yearning

01:08:19to explore Mars

01:08:21has an aggressive

01:08:22or competitive element

01:08:23to it,

01:08:23if Mars himself

01:08:24is not somehow

01:08:25involved in the project.

01:08:27Over the centuries,

01:08:32humans have conceived

01:08:33numerous,

01:08:34and often humorous,

01:08:36notions of what Mars

01:08:37and its possible

01:08:38Martian inhabitants

01:08:39might look like

01:08:40up close.

01:08:42It has been the subject

01:08:43of countless books,

01:08:45motion pictures,

01:08:46and even video games.

01:08:49But what if

01:08:49some of the creative

01:08:50depictions of our

01:08:51interplanetary neighbor

01:08:52don't come from

01:08:54human imagination,

01:08:56but from human memory?

01:08:58Carl Jung theorized

01:09:00that mankind

01:09:01had a collective

01:09:02consciousness.

01:09:04And this is a kind

01:09:05of genetic memory

01:09:06or inherited memory.

01:09:09For instance,

01:09:10if our ancestors

01:09:11perceived that

01:09:13lightning was dangerous,

01:09:15we might inherit

01:09:16then a fear

01:09:17of lightning.

01:09:19And so it's

01:09:20possible in this

01:09:21same way

01:09:22that our

01:09:23ancient associations

01:09:24with Mars

01:09:26are actually

01:09:27within our genes

01:09:29and embedded

01:09:30in our neurons

01:09:32as part of

01:09:33our DNA.

01:09:35If our ancestors

01:09:36experienced something,

01:09:38it goes into

01:09:39our genome,

01:09:40it goes into

01:09:40our DNA.

01:09:43What if humanity

01:09:44originated on Mars

01:09:46and we are still

01:09:47answering to that call

01:09:49unknowingly?

01:09:50Could there be a

01:09:54profound connection

01:09:55that links humans

01:09:56to Mars

01:09:56deeply embedded

01:09:57in our subconsciousness?

01:10:00Ancient astronaut

01:10:02theorists say yes

01:10:03and suggest

01:10:04the answer is

01:10:06slowly being revealed

01:10:07as we get closer

01:10:08to colonizing

01:10:09the so-called

01:10:10Red Planet.

01:10:11Amersfoort,

01:10:17the Netherlands,

01:10:192012.

01:10:20A private

01:10:21Dutch organization

01:10:22known as

01:10:23Mars One

01:10:24announces a

01:10:25global mission

01:10:26to establish

01:10:27a permanent

01:10:28human settlement

01:10:29on Mars.

01:10:30The following year,

01:10:32they begin

01:10:32accepting applications

01:10:33from would-be

01:10:34colonists

01:10:35for a manned

01:10:36expedition

01:10:36scheduled for

01:10:382023.

01:10:39but while the

01:10:41opportunity

01:10:41to be among

01:10:42the first humans

01:10:43on Mars

01:10:43is an exciting

01:10:44one,

01:10:45one aspect

01:10:46of the mission

01:10:47seems certain

01:10:48to turn away

01:10:48many would-be

01:10:49applicants.

01:10:51It will be

01:10:52a one-way trip.

01:10:55Nevertheless,

01:10:56thousands of

01:10:57people apply.

01:10:59By the time

01:11:00I heard about

01:11:01Mars One,

01:11:02I've been telling

01:11:02my friends,

01:11:03I don't care

01:11:03what it's going

01:11:03to take,

01:11:04I'm going to

01:11:04make it to space

01:11:05in my lifetime.

01:11:06And it felt like

01:11:07there was a calling,

01:11:08a destiny there.

01:11:10I get asked

01:11:11if it's worth

01:11:12the sacrifice

01:11:12of leaving

01:11:13everything I've

01:11:14known on Earth,

01:11:15family, friends,

01:11:16sunshine, rain,

01:11:18the beach.

01:11:19And I think

01:11:21to live the first

01:11:23half of my life

01:11:23as an Earthling

01:11:24and the second

01:11:25half as a Martian,

01:11:27what an amazing

01:11:27way to kind of

01:11:28give your life

01:11:29to the greater

01:11:31cause of humanity.

01:11:34This is a defining

01:11:35point in the

01:11:36human timeline.

01:11:38So I suppose

01:11:39the biggest thing

01:11:40that draws people

01:11:41to Mars One,

01:11:41the thing that

01:11:42kind of hooks

01:11:42their attention

01:11:43is the fact

01:11:43that it's a

01:11:44one-way mission.

01:11:45This is very much

01:11:46about humanity

01:11:47setting up a

01:11:48permanent outpost

01:11:49on another planet

01:11:50and that's,

01:11:51I suppose,

01:11:52the thing that

01:11:53drew me to it

01:11:53in the first place.

01:11:56Mars and Earth

01:11:57have to be

01:11:58in a very

01:11:59synchronous place

01:12:00in order to

01:12:01make the shortest

01:12:02trip to Mars.

01:12:02When you get there,

01:12:06Earth and Mars

01:12:06are going to be

01:12:07very far apart

01:12:08and you will not

01:12:11be able to leave

01:12:11and come back

01:12:12for at least

01:12:13400 days.

01:12:14In fact,

01:12:15it would take you

01:12:15longer to get back

01:12:17if you left

01:12:18right away

01:12:19than if you waited

01:12:20400 days

01:12:22to come back.

01:12:24So once you get there,

01:12:26you're stuck

01:12:26and you have

01:12:27to stay there.

01:12:28and the truth

01:12:30is that it's

01:12:30so expensive

01:12:31to get people

01:12:32to Mars

01:12:32and to establish

01:12:33the first colonies

01:12:34that this is

01:12:36always,

01:12:37always going

01:12:38to be a one-way trip.

01:12:39I don't like

01:12:40the idea

01:12:40that we do

01:12:41the same thing

01:12:42that we did

01:12:42with the moon

01:12:4350 years ago

01:12:44where we go there,

01:12:46walk around,

01:12:47explore it a little bit

01:12:48and then come back

01:12:48and then sort of

01:12:49ask the question,

01:12:50why bother going there?

01:12:51We've been there before.

01:12:54The most common

01:12:55attribute through

01:12:56all of the candidates

01:12:56is this idea

01:12:58that we're all

01:12:58interested in serving

01:12:59something that's

01:13:00bigger than ourselves

01:13:01as an individual.

01:13:02It's very much

01:13:03about doing something

01:13:03for the species.

01:13:07The journey

01:13:07to get to Mars

01:13:08is very similar

01:13:10to the first settlers

01:13:11arriving in the Americas.

01:13:15Mars One plans

01:13:16to send teams

01:13:17of four at a time

01:13:18and every two years

01:13:19afterwards,

01:13:20there will be

01:13:21a new team

01:13:21to arrive

01:13:22and join the community.

01:13:25Eventually,

01:13:26probably,

01:13:27we're going to see

01:13:28tens of thousands

01:13:28of people arrive.

01:13:30I think for us

01:13:31right now,

01:13:31if we make the leap

01:13:32and start to create

01:13:34colonies off-planet,

01:13:36we're looking at

01:13:37the next giant leap

01:13:38of humankind.

01:13:40As the possibility

01:13:41of colonizing Mars

01:13:42becomes a reality,

01:13:44just what effect

01:13:45will living in outer space

01:13:47have on human evolution?

01:13:50Perhaps clues

01:13:50can be found

01:13:51by exploring the atmospheres

01:13:53of recently discovered

01:13:54exoplanets

01:13:55and the type

01:13:56of lifeforms

01:13:57we might find there.

01:14:04La Silla Observatory,

01:14:07Chile, 2009.

01:14:11Astronomers identify

01:14:12a potentially habitable planet

01:14:14orbiting the star

01:14:15Gliese 667C.

01:14:17It's a large

01:14:19Earth-like planet

01:14:20located firmly

01:14:21in the Goldilocks zone.

01:14:23While evidence of life

01:14:25has yet to be discovered,

01:14:27scientists are able

01:14:28to speculate

01:14:28as to how life

01:14:29on this planet

01:14:30would evolve.

01:14:32When we imagine

01:14:33life on other planets,

01:14:35we have to imagine

01:14:37that the environment

01:14:38on those planets

01:14:39will determine

01:14:40what the creature

01:14:42may look like.

01:14:43In considering

01:14:45planets larger than Earth,

01:14:47the increased gravity

01:14:48will likely result

01:14:49in shorter,

01:14:50complex lifeforms.

01:14:52This results

01:14:53in a more stable

01:14:54lifeform

01:14:55and protects

01:14:55against falls.

01:14:57So lifeforms

01:14:58on larger planets

01:14:59would likely be smaller

01:15:00than those

01:15:01on smaller planets.

01:15:03Like Earth,

01:15:04a major evolutionary force

01:15:05on the planet

01:15:06is the strength

01:15:07of its sun.

01:15:09Gliese 667C

01:15:11is a red dwarf star,

01:15:13an M star,

01:15:14that's about 1.4%

01:15:15as bright as our sun.

01:15:17Because M dwarf stars

01:15:19are much smaller

01:15:20than our sun,

01:15:20they're much cooler

01:15:21and they give off

01:15:22a lot less light.

01:15:23Because the star

01:15:24gives out such low light

01:15:26compared to our sun,

01:15:27any life on those planets

01:15:29would look much different.

01:15:31Let's assume

01:15:32for the sake of argument

01:15:33that there is life

01:15:34on Gliese 667C.

01:15:36Such life would be living

01:15:38in kind of eternal darkness.

01:15:40In order for lifeforms

01:15:43on a planet like that

01:15:44to see they'd be like

01:15:45owls on planet Earth,

01:15:47they would have

01:15:48very, very large eyes

01:15:49to capture

01:15:50as much light as possible.

01:15:53They are going to develop

01:15:55eyes that are perhaps

01:15:56more like insect's eyes,

01:15:59where you're seeing

01:16:00different light spectrums

01:16:01and heat signatures.

01:16:03Something completely different

01:16:05than the way we see.

01:16:06For ancient astronaut theorists,

01:16:10these descriptions

01:16:11share a curious similarity

01:16:13to accounts reported

01:16:14by alleged alien abductees.

01:16:18Alien abductees

01:16:20give very consistent accounts

01:16:22of some of the types

01:16:23of aliens they see.

01:16:26The most consistent account

01:16:28is four feet short,

01:16:30gray, big-headed,

01:16:33big-eyed aliens.

01:16:34And this would fit

01:16:36what we might expect

01:16:37with gravity so intense

01:16:39that you couldn't grow

01:16:40to six feet.

01:16:42Short, gray aliens

01:16:44with large, black eyes?

01:16:47Is it possible

01:16:48that the habitable planet

01:16:49orbiting Gliese 667C

01:16:52is the homeworld

01:16:53of the beings known

01:16:54in the UFO community

01:16:55as the grays?

01:16:58As far as ancient

01:17:00astronaut theorists

01:17:01are concerned,

01:17:02the planet orbiting

01:17:03Gliese 667C

01:17:05is just one

01:17:06of a number

01:17:07of recently discovered worlds

01:17:08that could represent

01:17:10places of origin

01:17:11for extraterrestrials

01:17:12encountered both

01:17:13in modern times

01:17:14and in the distant past.

01:17:18Mountain View, California.

01:17:22April, 2013.

01:17:24NASA scientists

01:17:26at the Ames Research Center

01:17:28announced that

01:17:29the Kepler Space Telescope

01:17:31has discovered

01:17:32two new exoplanets

01:17:33that seem highly promising

01:17:34for life.

01:17:36Named Kepler 62E

01:17:38and 62F,

01:17:39they are so-called

01:17:40water worlds,

01:17:42planets covered

01:17:43by an all-encompassing

01:17:44global ocean.

01:17:46The planets 62E

01:17:47and F are very exciting

01:17:49because they are

01:17:50ocean-covered planets

01:17:51and in the habitable zone.

01:17:53So if you're

01:17:53an ocean-covered planet,

01:17:55it increases the chance

01:17:56that there's actually

01:17:57life on that planet.

01:17:59If there is a water world

01:18:00with an atmosphere

01:18:02with water,

01:18:04the creatures

01:18:05that may inhabit there

01:18:07are water-born creatures.

01:18:09They wouldn't necessarily

01:18:10look like human beings

01:18:12standing up on two legs

01:18:13and two arms.

01:18:14They might look

01:18:15more like mermaids.

01:18:17Ancient astronaut theorists

01:18:19point out

01:18:20that many early civilizations

01:18:21reported sky visitors

01:18:23with amphibious

01:18:24fish-like characteristics.

01:18:27Considered to be gods,

01:18:29they were seen in China,

01:18:30Sub-Saharan Africa,

01:18:32Central America,

01:18:33and Egypt,

01:18:34just to name a few.

01:18:37These amphibian beings

01:18:38were said to interact

01:18:40with humans by day

01:18:41and retreat to rivers

01:18:42or lakes at night.

01:18:43Could such entities

01:18:46have come from

01:18:46so-called water worlds

01:18:48like Kepler-62e and F?

01:18:51Creatures like that,

01:18:53if they existed,

01:18:55would evolve on water worlds,

01:18:57planets with a global ocean.

01:18:59And it just so happens

01:19:01that in the ongoing search

01:19:03for exoplanets,

01:19:04many such worlds

01:19:06are being discovered.

01:19:07these half-human,

01:19:10half-fish-type gods

01:19:12that are like us

01:19:14but are still aquatic

01:19:15and are coming

01:19:16from these water planets.

01:19:19Extraterrestrials

01:19:19may be very attracted

01:19:20to planet Earth

01:19:21because the oceans

01:19:22are huge and vast,

01:19:25so aquatic extraterrestrials

01:19:26could find a very happy home

01:19:29here on planet Earth.

01:19:32So when we encounter

01:19:34alien life forms

01:19:35on a space,

01:19:36are they going to look like us?

01:19:38No.

01:19:38They could look

01:19:39completely different from us

01:19:40and have a different pathway

01:19:42to intelligence.

01:19:44In their search

01:19:45for habitable exoplanets,

01:19:47could mainstream scientists

01:19:48be discovering

01:19:49the home worlds

01:19:50of extraterrestrial visitors

01:19:52to Earth?

01:19:53For ancient astronaut theorists,

01:19:56the answer

01:19:56is a resounding yes.

01:19:59And they suggest

01:20:00that the search for life

01:20:02is about to be revolutionized

01:20:03once again

01:20:04as NASA continues to launch

01:20:07extraordinary new technology

01:20:08into space.

01:20:15Geneva, Switzerland.

01:20:17October 8, 2019.

01:20:21Astronomers Michel Mayor

01:20:23and Didier Queloz

01:20:24are awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics

01:20:27for discovering the first exoplanet

01:20:29in 1992.

01:20:32In the years since,

01:20:33more than 4,000

01:20:34have been examined

01:20:35and categorized

01:20:36and more are being found

01:20:38every day.

01:20:42Let's do a science experiment tonight.

01:20:44Go outside,

01:20:45look up,

01:20:46and see all the thousands

01:20:47of stars you see.

01:20:49Every single one,

01:20:51on average,

01:20:52has a planet going around them.

01:20:54And a planet 1 in 20

01:20:56has an Earth-like planet.

01:21:00And so when you look

01:21:00at the stars tonight,

01:21:02realize that somebody

01:21:03could be looking back

01:21:04at you

01:21:05from out of space.

01:21:09In 2021,

01:21:12NASA launched

01:21:13the James Webb Space Telescope,

01:21:15a satellite

01:21:15that can do something

01:21:17once thought impossible.

01:21:19Take detailed,

01:21:20color images

01:21:20of an exoplanet.

01:21:22The James Webb Space Telescope

01:21:25is a different type

01:21:28of telescope

01:21:28than we've had

01:21:29in space before.

01:21:31It will give us

01:21:32the ability

01:21:32to look at

01:21:34the reflected light

01:21:34from exoplanets

01:21:36in the infrared part

01:21:37of the spectrum

01:21:37and to search

01:21:38for the potential

01:21:39for biology

01:21:40being present.

01:21:43But when we look

01:21:44upon the images

01:21:45of other worlds

01:21:46and possibly

01:21:48even the beings

01:21:49that inhabit them,

01:21:50what will we find?

01:21:52I think that

01:21:53what's really lying

01:21:54in store

01:21:54for humanity now

01:21:56is that we will

01:21:58prove that there

01:21:59are these exoplanets

01:22:00out there,

01:22:01that they have life

01:22:02and quite possibly

01:22:04intelligent life

01:22:05capable of coming

01:22:06to our solar system.

01:22:08This will cause

01:22:10a sea change

01:22:11all over the world,

01:22:13within scientific communities

01:22:15and within the religious

01:22:16communities too.

01:22:20If astronomers

01:22:21discover exoplanets

01:22:23with intelligent

01:22:23alien life forms,

01:22:25will they appear

01:22:25eerily familiar?

01:22:27Could they find

01:22:28amphibious humanoid beings

01:22:30like the gods

01:22:31depicted in ancient times?

01:22:33Small gray aliens

01:22:35like those reported

01:22:36by alleged abductees?

01:22:37And is it possible

01:22:40that some visitors

01:22:42perhaps coming

01:22:43from worlds

01:22:43very similar to Earth

01:22:44might look remarkably

01:22:46like us?

01:22:48Within established

01:22:50ancient astronaut theory,

01:22:52it's generally thought

01:22:53that these extraterrestrial beings

01:22:56coming from outside

01:22:57of our solar system

01:22:59were interacting

01:23:00with our society

01:23:01and they were

01:23:02manipulating our DNA

01:23:03and in a sense

01:23:04creating people

01:23:05on this planet,

01:23:06us,

01:23:07who look like them

01:23:08and are similar to them.

01:23:10As we discover

01:23:11more and more

01:23:12exoplanets,

01:23:13the implications

01:23:14for humanity

01:23:14are enormous.

01:23:16I think it's very possible

01:23:18that we're on the verge

01:23:19of discovering

01:23:20our home planet,

01:23:22the place of our origins.

01:23:25The big revelation

01:23:26will not be

01:23:27do they look like us

01:23:28but we look like them

01:23:29because we are

01:23:30their offspring.

01:23:33Is humanity

01:23:34on the verge

01:23:35of finally discovering

01:23:36an alien planet

01:23:37populated by

01:23:39intelligent life forms?

01:23:41And if so,

01:23:43might we find

01:23:44that they are not

01:23:45only similar to us

01:23:46but are in fact

01:23:47the creator gods

01:23:49our ancestors

01:23:50wrote about

01:23:51thousands of years ago?

01:23:53Perhaps as we search

01:23:55deeper in outer space,

01:23:57somewhere

01:23:57on a distant planet,

01:23:59an alien race

01:24:00has its own telescopes

01:24:01focused on us,

01:24:03watching our progress

01:24:06and waiting for the day

01:24:07when we are ready

01:24:09to learn the truth

01:24:09about our

01:24:11extraterrestrial origins.

01:24:13humans.
