1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,680
A foreboding mountain bears
witness to astonishing events.
2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,930
NICK POPE: Over the years,
there has been all sorts of weirdness
3
00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:12,470
on this mountain.
4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,850
Mysterious lights,
fire in the sky.
5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:21,270
NARRATOR: Ancient stories link
it to otherworldly contact.
6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,530
Oh, look at that.
7
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:24,780
- The spaceman?
- Spaceman, exactly.
8
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:25,950
Look at the helmet.
9
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:27,990
NARRATOR:
And it has become a hot spot
10
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:30,450
for modern-day UFO reports.
11
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:33,080
DAVID CHILDRESS:
We have extraterrestrials
12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,000
giving a light show for people.
13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,870
NARRATOR: Could this mysterious
mountain be attracting
14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,710
extraterrestrial visitors
to Earth?
15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,010
WILLIAM HENRY: The gods came
to this very specific place
16
00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:47,130
because of something
either in the mountain
17
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:49,640
or something that was
placed there by them.
18
00:00:52,810 --> 00:00:54,430
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,270
in the universe.
20
00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:00,310
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
21
00:01:01,650 --> 00:01:04,230
It demands
we question everything
22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,610
we have ever been taught.
23
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:10,160
The evidence is all around us.
24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,080
The future is
right before our eyes.
25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,000
We are not alone.
26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,000
We have never been alone.
27
00:01:28,510 --> 00:01:29,840
NARRATOR:
Turin, Italy.
28
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:36,520
Situated on the western bank
of the Po River,
29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,980
this city of nearly
two million people
30
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,690
is an important
international business hub.
31
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:45,570
It is also the heart of
the Italian automotive industry,
32
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:47,190
with the headquarters of Fiat,
33
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:51,660
Lancia and Alfa Romeo
all located here.
34
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:54,200
But overlooking
this modern metropolis
35
00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:58,790
is Italy's most mysterious
and infamous ancient site:
36
00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:01,170
Mount Musinè.
37
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:04,750
Rising to an elevation
of nearly 4,000 feet,
38
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,760
Mount Musinè has stood at
a unique crossroads of history,
39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,720
geology and the unexplained.
40
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:17,850
This is a mountain where,
over the years,
41
00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:21,020
almost to the beginning
of recorded human history,
42
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:23,060
strange things have been seen.
43
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:25,360
Lights were seen.
44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,820
Sometimes these lights
have been associated
45
00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:28,980
with the forces of good,
46
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:31,240
others with the forces
of darkness.
47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,070
But make no mistake about it,
over the years
48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,410
there has been
all sorts of weirdness
49
00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:39,830
on this mountain.
50
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:43,920
NARRATOR: Mount Musinè stands
at the easternmost edge
51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,830
of Italy's Susa Valley,
52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,920
which stretches 31 miles west
to the border of France.
53
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:54,220
During the Bronze Age,
more than 3,000 years ago,
54
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:57,720
this valley represented
a major crossroads,
55
00:02:57,850 --> 00:03:00,310
where the local Celtic people,
called the Taurini,
56
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:02,140
came into contact with
57
00:03:02,270 --> 00:03:04,600
the most prominent civilizations
of the time.
58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,820
The Bronze Age Celts
of Northwestern Italy
59
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,570
were very lucky, because
their particular location
60
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,780
was a kind of geographical hub
61
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:19,830
that had access to Northern
Europe, through the Alps,
62
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:22,120
and access to the Mediterranean,
going south,
63
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:25,830
and, indeed, across the
Mediterranean to Egypt.
64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,710
And people think
that the ancients
65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960
pretty much stayed
where they were born,
66
00:03:31,090 --> 00:03:34,300
but many of them traveled
vast distances
67
00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:37,010
and encountered
many other civilizations,
68
00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:40,810
and absorbed some of their ideas
very willingly.
69
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:44,560
NARRATOR:
The Celts in Northern Italy
70
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:46,770
came into contact
with the Etruscans,
71
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:49,020
the Egyptians and the Greeks.
72
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:51,440
Each of these cultures
had separate
73
00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:54,900
but very similar
polytheistic traditions
74
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:57,320
in which they worshipped
a pantheon of gods
75
00:03:57,450 --> 00:04:00,370
that came down to Earth
from the heavens.
76
00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:05,500
And they all revered Mount
Musinè as a place of power.
77
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,880
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,630
Mount Musinè may in fact be
a special location on Earth
79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,090
because of where
it is positioned.
80
00:04:16,220 --> 00:04:18,890
Mount Musinè has
an amazing ancient history
81
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:21,100
of magic and mystery.
82
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:23,810
The significance of its position
83
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:26,140
is that it's located
on a ley line,
84
00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:29,900
which is a gathering place
of Earth energies.
85
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:34,400
NARRATOR: The concept of ley
lines originated in the 1920s
86
00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:38,030
with English landscape
photographer Alfred Watkins.
87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,280
While researching his book,
The Old Straight Track,
88
00:04:41,410 --> 00:04:43,950
Watkins made
the curious discovery
89
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,620
that many of
the prehistoric standing stones
90
00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:49,750
and significant ancient sites
of England and France
91
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,880
line up in
perfectly straight lines.
92
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,220
And many of these sites
that these lines pass through
93
00:04:56,340 --> 00:04:59,680
have names that contain
the letters "L-E-Y,"
94
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,850
like Leyland,
Keighley and Otley.
95
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:08,350
Ley lines are an alignment
of ancient sites,
96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,020
four or more of them
over any distance.
97
00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:14,110
And these stretch around
the world in some cases,
98
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:16,490
and these are often associated
with the same sites
99
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:18,860
on the straight-line alignments.
100
00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:21,110
So there's a whole network
around the planet
101
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,660
of lots of different types,
102
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:24,450
some linked with
the magnetic field,
103
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:27,080
others linked with
underground water
104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,250
and natural energies
that move through the land.
105
00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:32,250
NARRATOR: One of the most
significant ley lines
106
00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:35,380
that has been identified
is the St. Michael line.
107
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,880
Starting from Skellig Michael
in Ireland,
108
00:05:39,010 --> 00:05:41,720
the seven major sites
that lie along this line
109
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:45,810
each have a church dedicated
to the archangel Michael,
110
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:50,190
all the way down to the Stella
Maris Monastery in Israel.
111
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:52,770
And incredibly,
there is no record
112
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,020
of the people who lived
in these separate locations
113
00:05:55,150 --> 00:05:57,900
having coordinated this.
114
00:05:58,030 --> 00:06:01,360
One of the sites the St. Michael
line passes through
115
00:06:01,490 --> 00:06:03,370
is Mount Musinè.
116
00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:08,790
You've got this straight line
of all these sites,
117
00:06:08,910 --> 00:06:12,620
and not just any old sites,
power sites.
118
00:06:12,750 --> 00:06:17,880
The ancients believed that
certain parts of the world
119
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:23,140
were blessed with power, energy,
120
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:27,350
that Musinè is slap-bang
on that line.
121
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:30,680
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
ancient people were aware
122
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:33,060
of energy emanating
from the Earth
123
00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:35,520
and were drawn to the area
of Mount Musinè
124
00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:39,110
and the Susa Valley
more than 2,000 years ago?
125
00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:42,860
And could these Earth energies
also be responsible
126
00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:44,620
for the many strange events
127
00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:46,700
that have been documented
in this area?
128
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:48,290
(thunder crashing)
129
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:51,040
Local legends passed down
from ancient times
130
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,620
tell about this mountain
131
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:56,000
being home to werewolves
and wizards.
132
00:06:56,130 --> 00:06:59,550
It was rumored that a dragon
guarded an enchanted cave,
133
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,090
protecting a giant emerald.
134
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:06,930
And in the fourth century AD,
the Roman Emperor Constantine
135
00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:09,470
claimed to have had
a vision of a cross
136
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,930
floating in the sky
over Mount Musinè
137
00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:14,690
the night before
a decisive battle,
138
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:17,730
one that would lead to him
seizing control of Rome
139
00:07:17,860 --> 00:07:20,030
from his rival, Maxentius,
140
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:22,990
and converting the empire
to Christianity.
141
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:26,570
POPE:
This was a pivotal moment.
142
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:31,080
The adoption of Christianity
as the official religion
143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,080
really changed the world,
144
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:36,380
and that's now a large part
of the world we live in.
145
00:07:38,170 --> 00:07:42,970
So did Mount Musinè have
a part in all of this?
146
00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:46,220
And if so, what the heck
was this encounter?
147
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:50,060
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Now,
it was not just Constantine's vision,
148
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:53,810
because it is described
that the army of Constantine
149
00:07:53,930 --> 00:07:56,900
also saw something
up in the sky.
150
00:07:57,020 --> 00:08:01,230
So the question is:
Is this one of the earliest
151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,820
UFO encounters
that we have on record?
152
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:06,110
And in my opinion, yes, it is.
153
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,200
NARRATOR: Could the many
extraordinary encounters
154
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080
recorded at Mount Musinè
throughout the ages
155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,620
be the product
of extraterrestrial visitation?
156
00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:20,210
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and suggest
157
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:22,130
that further evidence
can be found
158
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:25,840
by examining an incredible
flurry of UFO sightings
159
00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:29,180
reported in much more
recent times.
160
00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:34,060
Northern Italy.
161
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:39,060
December 2, 1973.
162
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,360
An Alitalia flight is
17 miles outside of Turin
163
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,360
when its pilot sees something
unusual in the night sky
164
00:08:48,490 --> 00:08:50,820
over the nearby Mount Musinè,
165
00:08:50,950 --> 00:08:53,910
something no one can identify.
166
00:08:55,410 --> 00:09:00,630
In 1973, an Alitalia pilot
sees a strange glow
167
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:02,170
over the mountain.
168
00:09:02,290 --> 00:09:05,550
This is apparently
later confirmed
169
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:06,880
by the control tower.
170
00:09:07,010 --> 00:09:09,470
NARRATOR:
According to witnesses,
171
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:14,260
the glow appeared to be coming
from a mysterious round object.
172
00:09:14,390 --> 00:09:16,680
Two Italian Air Force planes
that were in the vicinity
173
00:09:16,810 --> 00:09:19,600
corroborated the sighting.
174
00:09:19,730 --> 00:09:22,730
The UFO report is significant
not only because
175
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:26,110
it was witnessed by
multiple pilots and passengers,
176
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:28,490
but because within
just a two-week period,
177
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:31,950
no less than six separate
UFO incidents were reported
178
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:35,080
in the vicinity of Mount Musinè.
179
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,950
POPE:
If this was in isolation,
180
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,750
then perhaps you could
disregard it.
181
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:43,210
But when I look at Italy,
182
00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:46,760
and particularly this
specific part of Italy,
183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,430
it does seem as if
something is going on,
184
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:53,510
and it seems as if
the Italian government,
185
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,180
and maybe others, know that
there's something going on.
186
00:09:57,310 --> 00:10:00,810
NARRATOR: What can explain
the strange incidents
187
00:10:00,940 --> 00:10:03,730
that have been continuously
reported at Mount Musinè
188
00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:05,690
for hundreds of years?
189
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:09,990
Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
190
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:12,160
that extraterrestrials are drawn
191
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,780
to this particular place
on Earth?
192
00:10:14,910 --> 00:10:17,160
CHILDRESS:
This light phenomenon
193
00:10:17,290 --> 00:10:18,830
and unusual activity
on Mount Musinè
194
00:10:18,950 --> 00:10:20,580
has been going on
for thousands of years,
195
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:22,540
and continues to this day.
196
00:10:25,290 --> 00:10:27,210
POPE:
The challenge really is
197
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,050
to find the connection,
198
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:33,090
to draw together the disparate
threads of this story
199
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:36,510
and say, "What is it about
this area that's so special?"
200
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
NARRATOR: Perhaps further
clues can be found
201
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:45,270
by investigating the strange
rock carvings found in the area,
202
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,230
carvings that appear to be
depictions of astronauts.
203
00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:56,200
NARRATOR:
Val Camonica, Italy.
204
00:10:58,330 --> 00:11:02,210
June 13, 2019.
205
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:06,080
Ancient astronaut theorist
William Henry has traveled
206
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:08,750
to this UNESCO
World Heritage Site
207
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,470
165 miles from Mount Musinè
to investigate what he believes
208
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:16,800
could be forensic evidence
that the early civilizations
209
00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:20,890
of this region came into contact
with extraterrestrials.
210
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,310
HENRY: Hi, I'm William.
Nice to meet you.
211
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,770
NARRATOR: Joining him
is Luca Giarelli, the head
212
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,820
of the Val Camonica Historical
and Anthropological Society.
213
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:36,660
Luca has spent years studying
this mysterious region
214
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,370
of Northern Italy, and wants to
show William the rock carvings
215
00:11:40,490 --> 00:11:43,460
for which this alpine valley
is famous.
216
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:47,460
This place is massive.
217
00:11:54,090 --> 00:11:55,800
I'm ready. Let's go.
218
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,680
HENRY:
I'm here at Val Camonica
219
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,600
because it is a treasure trove
of images from the ancient world
220
00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:06,730
that have been well-documented
and studied by scholars.
221
00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:09,940
They don't agree on the meaning
of the images, but some of them
222
00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:13,110
are very open-minded
to the ancient astronaut theory.
223
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:22,620
Footprints. Wow.
224
00:12:26,670 --> 00:12:28,000
They look like deer.
225
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:35,670
Look at this. Incredible.
226
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:43,220
Wow.
227
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:48,900
HENRY:
Oh, look at that.
228
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:51,360
The spaceman, exactly.
229
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,820
Look at that helmet.
230
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:55,360
Right. It's like he's glowing.
231
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:02,830
HENRY:
Ah, the Camunian rose.
232
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,170
HENRY:
Wow.
233
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:18,550
19 Camunian roses?
234
00:13:20,390 --> 00:13:22,680
NARRATOR: Archaeologists
call this mysterious object
235
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,770
the Camunian rose because
of its flower-like shape.
236
00:13:28,020 --> 00:13:30,190
While its exact meaning
is lost to history,
237
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:32,400
some believe it to be
a religious symbol
238
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,610
or a representation
of the movement of the stars.
239
00:13:36,740 --> 00:13:40,660
But ancient astronaut theorists
suggest it might also depict
240
00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:44,620
something else, the vessel that
brought these helmeted figures
241
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:47,540
to Val Camonica.
242
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:48,870
Look at that.
That looks like a spaceship.
243
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,540
It's like you look up
in the sky,
244
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:52,630
and you would see
this kind of twirling,
245
00:13:52,750 --> 00:13:54,750
spinning ship in the sky.
246
00:14:01,630 --> 00:14:04,970
It seems to me, just looking
at it, they're trying to talk
247
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:09,230
about beings coming from other
worlds, maybe to this place.
248
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,310
Tell me about
that five-pointed star.
249
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,400
HENRY:
Mm-hmm.
250
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,450
HENRY: Sometimes the-the stars
mean energy, like,
251
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,750
energy from the stars
would come to this place
252
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:33,120
where star beings
would come to this place.
253
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:34,420
Yeah.
254
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:35,840
Mm-hmm.
255
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,020
Okay. This is like
a newspaper, then.
256
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:54,350
It says, "This was in the sky
above us at some point,
257
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,360
and this spaceman came down and
maybe met the Camunian people."
258
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,410
NARRATOR: According to the ancient
stories of the Susa Valley,
259
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:08,280
the city of Turin was founded by
a character from Greek mythology
260
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:13,000
called Phaethon, who came
to Earth from the stars.
261
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Legend states that Turin was
founded by the god Phaethon,
262
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:19,710
who is a son
of the sun god Helios.
263
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,970
And in the myth of Phaethon,
we learn the story
264
00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:26,140
of how he descended to Earth
in a fiery chariot...
265
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,180
perhaps crashing
into Mount Musinè.
266
00:15:32,810 --> 00:15:34,770
This also led
to something fortuitous
267
00:15:34,890 --> 00:15:37,310
because he brought
gifts to this place.
268
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,360
He had great skills,
was a metallurgist,
269
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,990
and taught this
to the local people.
270
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280
CHILDRESS: When we look at myths
such as the myth of Phaethon,
271
00:15:49,410 --> 00:15:53,830
here is really
the story of a UFO
272
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,330
landing on a mountain
and interacting with the locals.
273
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:02,300
HENRY: When we look behind
this myth of Phaethon,
274
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:05,510
perhaps this is what we're also
seeing at Val Camonica.
275
00:16:05,630 --> 00:16:08,970
I think, given the-the
connection with the spacemen
276
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:10,850
that are etched into the rock,
277
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,520
that we have to be open
to the possibility
278
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,390
that what the ancient artist
is trying to portray
279
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,230
is something that he actually
saw in the sky,
280
00:16:18,350 --> 00:16:19,860
something coming out
of the heavens.
281
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:21,570
NARRATOR:
Is there a connection
282
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:24,570
between the stone carvings
found at Val Camonica
283
00:16:24,690 --> 00:16:28,320
and the story of Phaethon's
descent from the sky?
284
00:16:28,450 --> 00:16:30,200
And do other clues exist here
285
00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:32,580
that point
to ancient alien contact?
286
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Were there any other cultures
287
00:16:36,290 --> 00:16:37,370
that were connected
with the valley?
288
00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:47,380
- What sort of engravings?
- Uh...
289
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,640
Mm-hmm. Oh, the horned god.
290
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Yeah. Right.
291
00:16:58,140 --> 00:17:00,270
HENRY:
That means the Celts were here.
292
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,150
So, is this the only location
where we see the spaceman?
293
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:11,910
- Even deeper into the woods?
- Yeah.
294
00:17:13,620 --> 00:17:15,620
I'd love to go. All right.
295
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,500
NARRATOR: Luca guides William
up a steep portion of the valley
296
00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:26,800
for a rare look at another
carving hidden from public view.
297
00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:33,350
I'm all right, thanks.
298
00:17:35,890 --> 00:17:37,520
Wow.
299
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,310
We're-we're, like,
on the edge of a cliff here.
300
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:50,820
Wait a minute. Th-That's one of
them. Isn't it? Right there?
301
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:52,660
- LUCA: Yeah.
- How cool.
302
00:17:53,780 --> 00:17:55,330
HENRY:
Wow.
303
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,620
LUCA:
Like the other one.
304
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:01,750
HENRY: Yeah, these are
just like the other guys.
305
00:18:01,870 --> 00:18:03,000
Yeah.
306
00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:08,130
- HENRY: The detail is amazing.
- Yeah.
307
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:11,010
HENRY:
Mm-hmm.
308
00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:17,180
HENRY: There's clearly
some kind of an exchange
309
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:18,850
that's happening here.
310
00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:20,810
It's like
they're making a photograph
311
00:18:20,940 --> 00:18:23,610
of what happened at this place.
312
00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:27,360
They're trying to say, "At this
spot, this is what we saw here."
313
00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:41,000
HENRY: Of all places to
find a rock like this.
314
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,540
This is a very secretive,
almost initiatory place
315
00:18:43,670 --> 00:18:46,250
where select people
would be brought here
316
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:48,840
to be told this story
about these extraterrestrials.
317
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:49,880
Yeah.
318
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,850
NARRATOR: Were the ancient people
of what is now Northwest Italy
319
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,640
visited by beings
from other worlds?
320
00:19:00,770 --> 00:19:03,650
And could these depictions
of spacemen
321
00:19:03,770 --> 00:19:07,020
and strange craft descending
from the heavens have a link
322
00:19:07,150 --> 00:19:10,400
not only to the origin story
of Turin
323
00:19:10,530 --> 00:19:13,570
but also to the UFO sightings
that have been reported
324
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:17,410
over Mount Musinè
in more recent times?
325
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:20,870
Val Camonica is in this
incredible vortex, if you will,
326
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,210
that includes Mount Musinè.
327
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:25,830
We're looking at
a-an entire territory here
328
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,420
where these extraordinary
experiences are being recorded.
329
00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:32,880
NARRATOR: According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
330
00:19:33,010 --> 00:19:35,260
the carvings at Val Camonica
331
00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:38,760
tell just one part
of a larger story.
332
00:19:38,890 --> 00:19:42,480
And they suggest that
nearby ruins may reveal not only
333
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,560
that extraterrestrials
visited this region but why.
334
00:19:52,940 --> 00:19:54,400
NARRATOR:
The Susa Valley.
335
00:19:54,530 --> 00:19:57,530
966 AD.
336
00:19:57,660 --> 00:20:00,330
While ascending
Mount Pirchiriano,
337
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:02,750
25 miles west of Turin,
338
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:05,790
and directly across
from Mount Musinè,
339
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,420
a Catholic bishop is startled
by an incredible sight
340
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,920
that suddenly appears
in the sky.
341
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,840
He sees strange lights
in the sky.
342
00:20:16,970 --> 00:20:21,510
And these things are described
as planks and globes
343
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,980
made of fire,
344
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:29,110
firstly appearing to be on the
mountain itself, then rising up,
345
00:20:29,230 --> 00:20:31,190
flying around across the sky.
346
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,780
But they weren't just sightings.
347
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:37,450
They were sightings
that had a profound consequence.
348
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:42,700
These strange sightings
prompted the bishop to say,
349
00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:46,620
"This will be the site on which
we will build the new abbey,"
350
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:51,420
that came to be known
as Sacra di San Michele.
351
00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:53,420
CHILDRESS:
So once again, we have
352
00:20:53,550 --> 00:20:56,420
what seems to be
extraterrestrials
353
00:20:56,550 --> 00:20:58,840
giving a light show for people,
354
00:20:58,970 --> 00:21:02,050
uh, wanting to attract
their attention
355
00:21:02,180 --> 00:21:05,730
and perhaps inspiring them
to-to do certain things.
356
00:21:05,850 --> 00:21:09,650
NARRATOR: The Sacra di San
Michele, or Saint Michael's Abbey,
357
00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:13,190
still stands atop
Mount Pirchiriano today.
358
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,360
It is to this sacred abbey
359
00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:18,400
that ancient astronaut theorist
William Henry is headed
360
00:21:18,530 --> 00:21:22,530
with author and historian
Gnomo Orzo, who plans to reveal
361
00:21:22,660 --> 00:21:25,120
a historic secret.
362
00:21:30,750 --> 00:21:32,710
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh. Look at this.
363
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,710
- Yes. Susa Valley.
- Wow.
364
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,840
Wow, wow, wow.
365
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,010
- Look.
- That's incredible.
366
00:21:43,550 --> 00:21:45,890
- HENRY: Musinè.
- ORZO: Yeah.
367
00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:49,640
It's like Musinè and the Sacra
are-are twin peaks.
368
00:21:49,770 --> 00:21:50,730
- ORZO: Yes.
- HENRY: Incredible.
369
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:08,700
And in this place
where the Sacra was built,
370
00:22:08,830 --> 00:22:09,910
we have some other
interesting phenomenon...
371
00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:37,730
NARRATOR:
According to ancient stories,
372
00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:40,150
in this area of
the St. Michael line,
373
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,450
the energy line, or ley line,
374
00:22:42,570 --> 00:22:45,160
that many believe runs
straight through Italy,
375
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,450
a highly advanced civilization
existed thousands of years ago,
376
00:22:50,580 --> 00:22:53,920
a civilization that began
when the god Phaethon
377
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,050
came down from the sky
in his fiery chariot.
378
00:22:58,170 --> 00:23:01,840
The local accounts of Phaethon
not only connect this figure
379
00:23:01,970 --> 00:23:06,260
with the ancient Greeks
but also the ancient Egyptians.
380
00:23:06,390 --> 00:23:08,890
And some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
381
00:23:09,020 --> 00:23:11,180
that as a bringer of technology,
382
00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:14,270
Phaethon could be the same
extraterrestrial being
383
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,810
that was known in Egypt as Ptah.
384
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:20,480
HENRY:
Their names are very similar,
385
00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:22,780
Ptah and Phaethon.
386
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,870
The legend says
that Phaethon founded Turin
387
00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:28,620
in honor of the Apis bull.
388
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:32,290
Turin, or Turino, is called
the city of the bull.
389
00:23:32,410 --> 00:23:35,370
Now, this is very interesting
because in ancient Egypt,
390
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:39,550
where the reverence
for the Apis bull originated,
391
00:23:39,670 --> 00:23:41,710
we're told that the Apis bull,
392
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,340
or Apis bull, was actually
the Egyptian god of technology,
393
00:23:45,470 --> 00:23:48,180
Ptah, incarnate.
394
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:53,680
Ptah was the Egyptian god
of smithcraft and alchemy.
395
00:23:55,730 --> 00:23:57,360
So we have to ask the question:
396
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,230
Is Musinè a place that was known
in the ancient world,
397
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,280
where the secrets of alchemy
398
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,700
were ultimately going to be
stored or could be accessed?
399
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:09,620
There seems to be
a very important connection
400
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:11,830
between the cosmic knowledge
of metallurgy,
401
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:15,540
which was brought to Earth
by the gods,
402
00:24:15,670 --> 00:24:18,540
and some kind of energy
present at Mount Musinè.
403
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,510
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials'
knowledge of metallurgy and alchemy
404
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,630
was used to create
a technologically advanced
405
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,260
ancient city around
Mount Musinè, where did it go?
406
00:24:31,390 --> 00:24:33,520
In the first century BC,
407
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,060
Rome conquered the area's
original inhabitants
408
00:24:37,190 --> 00:24:40,020
and established
Augusta Taurinorum,
409
00:24:40,150 --> 00:24:43,360
the colony that
eventually became Turin.
410
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,650
All traces of the people
and city that came before it
411
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:48,660
seem to have vanished.
412
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:54,160
HENRY: So the Roman Empire came
here and said, "We're gonna take
413
00:24:54,290 --> 00:24:56,120
your knowledge and secrets,
we're gonna weaponize..."
414
00:24:56,250 --> 00:24:57,370
Yeah, of course.
415
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,430
So the energy is still here
in this valley.
416
00:25:26,190 --> 00:25:27,780
- All right, let's go.
- Yeah.
417
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:31,280
NARRATOR:
Gnomo and William head next
418
00:25:31,410 --> 00:25:34,870
to a hill near the village
of Mompantero.
419
00:25:34,990 --> 00:25:37,910
If extraterrestrials handed
knowledge of advanced technology
420
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,750
to the ancient people
of this region,
421
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,630
Gnomo believes it happened here,
422
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:45,590
and he has located evidence
to prove it.
423
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:46,800
Look at that.
424
00:25:54,890 --> 00:25:56,270
So...
425
00:26:05,070 --> 00:26:07,070
Right, so this is knowledge
way beyond
426
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:09,150
what we normally think of the
427
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,740
- neolithic mind being able to grasp.
- Yeah.
428
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,630
BRUCE FENTON:
Finding this triple spiral
429
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,010
at Musinè
is absolutely fascinating.
430
00:26:31,130 --> 00:26:34,140
I suspect that
among its many meanings,
431
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,180
which... most of which
have to do with movement
432
00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:38,680
and energetic flow,
I suspect amongst these
433
00:26:38,810 --> 00:26:41,480
we're also being told something
about Earth energies.
434
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,770
They had a knowledge
of these magnetic forces
435
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,860
and these energies, you know,
something that they perhaps
436
00:26:47,980 --> 00:26:51,280
should not have known
but clearly did.
437
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,780
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the
ancient people of the Susa Valley
438
00:26:54,910 --> 00:26:57,490
received knowledge
of Earth's magnetic forces
439
00:26:57,620 --> 00:26:59,620
from extraterrestrials
that were present
440
00:26:59,750 --> 00:27:01,870
in the region of Mount Musinè?
441
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,830
But if a technologically
advanced city
442
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,000
really did once exist
in the Susa Valley,
443
00:27:08,130 --> 00:27:12,050
how is it that all evidence
of it disappeared?
444
00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:15,680
Some researchers say
remnants of this lost city
445
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,850
can still be found
446
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:20,390
in the shadow of Mount Musinè.
447
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:29,440
NARRATOR: Deeper in the
Susa Valley of Northern Italy,
448
00:27:29,570 --> 00:27:32,740
Gnomo Orzo takes William Henry
449
00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:36,950
to a Roman archaeological site
called Il Maometto.
450
00:27:37,070 --> 00:27:39,410
But what he wants to show him
451
00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:42,080
is something hidden
in the woods nearby
452
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,330
that predates even the earliest
identified Roman ruins.
453
00:27:46,460 --> 00:27:50,210
HENRY:
Wow, Gnomo. Look at this.
454
00:27:53,010 --> 00:27:54,970
Look at this
455
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:58,300
incredible, incredible platform.
456
00:27:58,430 --> 00:28:00,220
Yeah, huge wheels,
457
00:28:00,350 --> 00:28:04,980
uh, surrounded by a lot
of very ancient walls.
458
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:08,110
HENRY: You know, I've seen
something like this before in Egypt,
459
00:28:08,230 --> 00:28:09,570
at Abu Gorab,
460
00:28:09,690 --> 00:28:12,150
wheels just like this
on this massive platform.
461
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,570
Quartz crystal embedded.
It's like a landing platform.
462
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,120
ORZO:
Yeah.
463
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,330
NARRATOR: Approximately
ten miles south of Cairo,
464
00:28:21,450 --> 00:28:23,790
the ancient site of Abu Gorab
465
00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:27,710
contains massive circular
alabaster platforms.
466
00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:30,500
Local tradition holds
that this site
467
00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:34,010
is one of the oldest
ceremonial centers on the planet
468
00:28:34,130 --> 00:28:37,760
and that the alabaster platforms
created a harmonic resonance
469
00:28:37,890 --> 00:28:40,550
through sound vibrations
to open the senses
470
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,890
to communicate
with divine energies.
471
00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:48,520
When I came upon this platform
in the middle of this forest,
472
00:28:48,650 --> 00:28:50,110
it took me back to Egypt
473
00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:52,360
where you see massive
stone altars like this,
474
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,820
for example, at Abu Gorab,
475
00:28:54,940 --> 00:28:58,910
that have exactly the same
stone wheels in the center,
476
00:28:59,030 --> 00:29:01,990
and I'm thinking, this proves
the Egyptian connection, too.
477
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,910
This is a-a common
symbolic element
478
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,540
that almost always connects
with extraterrestrials.
479
00:29:07,670 --> 00:29:09,830
NARRATOR:
For William Henry,
480
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,550
the wheels also present
another intriguing possibility.
481
00:29:13,670 --> 00:29:16,840
He believes that they may have
been made to commemorate
482
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:20,140
the foundational story
of the city of Turin,
483
00:29:20,260 --> 00:29:22,510
in which it is said
that an otherworldly being
484
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,060
called Phaethon
485
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:28,060
descended from the sky
in a fiery chariot.
486
00:29:28,190 --> 00:29:31,230
In the story, the craft
in which he descends to Earth
487
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,020
is described as having wheels,
488
00:29:34,150 --> 00:29:36,400
but it is also said
that he brought with him
489
00:29:36,530 --> 00:29:39,410
so-called "wheels of knowledge."
490
00:29:39,530 --> 00:29:41,990
The myth tells us that there was
491
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,830
some kind of a craft
that came into this area,
492
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:48,210
and they describe wheels
that Phaethon left,
493
00:29:48,330 --> 00:29:50,210
wheels of knowledge.
494
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:51,920
Is that what we have here?
495
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,630
Wheels that match what we saw
with the spirals on the rock
496
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,300
of this extraordinary knowledge
497
00:29:58,420 --> 00:30:01,220
encoding the secrets
of light itself.
498
00:30:01,340 --> 00:30:03,470
- It's an incredible mystery.
- It's the incredible mystery.
499
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,430
Right away I think of the golden
wheels of the-the solar discs
500
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,640
in the Aztec and Inca cultures.
501
00:30:10,770 --> 00:30:14,860
We know that
they were great circles,
502
00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:17,070
and that on them
would be engraved
503
00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:19,240
all sorts of knowledge,
all sorts of information,
504
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,110
astronomy, and other
mythology being coded
505
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,870
into the surface of the disc.
506
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:26,410
Now, could it be that
at Musinè we have
507
00:30:26,540 --> 00:30:28,160
exactly the same thing
happening,
508
00:30:28,290 --> 00:30:30,660
that we have
this great golden wheel
509
00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:33,170
upon which is
all of this information?
510
00:30:33,290 --> 00:30:37,380
NARRATOR: Might the ancient wheels
carved into the rock at Il Maometto
511
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:40,920
be just the tip
of an historical iceberg?
512
00:30:41,050 --> 00:30:45,800
A sign of the lost ancient city
buried beneath the ground?
513
00:30:45,930 --> 00:30:48,060
We enter into this valley where,
514
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:49,930
what do we find,
these ancient myths
515
00:30:50,060 --> 00:30:51,940
of a civilization
516
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:54,520
that might have had
some extraordinary knowledge
517
00:30:54,650 --> 00:30:56,690
that they're trying to protect,
518
00:30:56,820 --> 00:30:59,030
and we come into here
and look at these walls,
519
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:00,820
more ancient than ancient Rome.
520
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:10,910
Yeah.
521
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,000
HENRY:
We've seen Val Camonica
522
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,380
with these incredible depictions
of spacemen on the rocks.
523
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:21,970
Thousands of years old.
Absolutely amazing.
524
00:31:22,090 --> 00:31:25,640
Then we come through
the gates of Musinè,
525
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,680
where Constantine saw
this flash of light,
526
00:31:27,810 --> 00:31:29,470
the heavens open.
527
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,890
And across the valley
we have Sacra San Michele,
528
00:31:34,020 --> 00:31:36,190
where the monk saw
the light as well.
529
00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:39,020
Extraordinary complex there.
530
00:31:39,150 --> 00:31:41,860
It's telling us that there was
contact in the ancient world
531
00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:43,610
at this place.
532
00:31:43,740 --> 00:31:46,740
For some reason people have been
coming into this valley.
533
00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:48,580
They're attracted
by something here,
534
00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:52,450
for a very long time,
and talking about
535
00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:53,830
these amazing mysteries
and knowledge.
536
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,290
Yeah, like...
537
00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:09,010
There is so much more here
to investigate
538
00:32:09,140 --> 00:32:10,760
than I ever imagined.
539
00:32:10,890 --> 00:32:15,890
NARRATOR: Ancient visitors
sharing the secrets of metallurgy?
540
00:32:16,020 --> 00:32:17,980
Tales of a lost civilization
541
00:32:18,110 --> 00:32:21,280
that once held
advanced knowledge?
542
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,240
And ruins still waiting to be
identified in the Susa Valley?
543
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,490
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
544
00:32:30,620 --> 00:32:34,160
the area of Mount Musinè
provides overwhelming evidence
545
00:32:34,290 --> 00:32:38,130
that extraterrestrials were
once present here.
546
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:41,550
But if these otherworldly
visitors helped to establish
547
00:32:41,670 --> 00:32:45,380
a technologically advanced
civilization in the Susa Valley,
548
00:32:45,510 --> 00:32:47,220
what happened to it?
549
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:50,850
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues
550
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:53,770
might be found by examining
strange encounters
551
00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:55,600
that have occurred
on Mount Musinè
552
00:32:55,730 --> 00:32:58,350
in more recent times.
553
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,610
And they point
to the possibility
554
00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:03,400
that the lost city still exists.
555
00:33:09,660 --> 00:33:13,450
NARRATOR:
Northern Italy, 1933.
556
00:33:15,580 --> 00:33:18,080
With the threat of war
casting an ominous shadow
557
00:33:18,210 --> 00:33:19,710
across Europe,
558
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:22,630
an incredible series
of events unfolds,
559
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:25,340
all under the supervision
of one of history's
560
00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:28,300
most powerful
and feared leaders,
561
00:33:28,430 --> 00:33:31,720
Benito Mussolini.
562
00:33:31,850 --> 00:33:36,810
In 1933, it's claimed
that a UFO crashed
563
00:33:36,930 --> 00:33:39,440
in the Lombardy region of Italy.
564
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,480
This was apparently an object
around 50 feet in diameter,
565
00:33:44,610 --> 00:33:47,950
like two saucers
joined together.
566
00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:52,490
It was described as being
grayish in color, and metallic.
567
00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:56,540
And apparently it was then taken
by the military
568
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:59,620
and studied
on the personal orders
569
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:03,460
of the then-dictator
Benito Mussolini.
570
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:08,340
NARRATOR: According to some
accounts, the UFO crashed
571
00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:10,130
near the city of Magenta,
572
00:34:10,260 --> 00:34:13,640
just 80 miles northeast
of Mount Musinè.
573
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,850
The craft was found
to be unoccupied,
574
00:34:16,970 --> 00:34:21,020
and unlocking its secrets
became a top priority.
575
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:26,480
This flying saucer was something
that the Mussolini government
576
00:34:26,610 --> 00:34:28,400
took a lot of interest in.
577
00:34:28,530 --> 00:34:31,530
And so there was
an establishment
578
00:34:31,660 --> 00:34:35,780
of a group of experts
to study this phenomenon.
579
00:34:35,910 --> 00:34:38,450
To study exactly
what it involved, who made it.
580
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:43,380
And this committee
was called RS/33.
581
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:46,250
NARRATOR: To lead the
committee, it is said that
582
00:34:46,380 --> 00:34:48,710
Mussolini enlisted
the noted engineer
583
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,340
and famed inventor
of the radio, Guglielmo Marconi.
584
00:34:53,470 --> 00:34:55,680
Mussolini said,
"Find out what it is,
585
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,350
and because it seems to be
so advanced, build one."
586
00:34:58,470 --> 00:35:01,180
And Marconi apparently said,
"Well, we can't.
587
00:35:01,310 --> 00:35:03,100
"We can't figure it out.
588
00:35:03,230 --> 00:35:06,060
"There is a technology here
over and above
589
00:35:06,190 --> 00:35:08,480
anything we possess."
590
00:35:08,610 --> 00:35:13,240
And that only left
the conclusion that this,
591
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,910
for want of a better term, was
592
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:17,370
an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
593
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:23,080
NARRATOR: Was a crashed
extraterrestrial craft really recovered
594
00:35:23,210 --> 00:35:26,380
by the Italian government
in 1933?
595
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:30,340
And if so,
is it merely coincidence
596
00:35:30,460 --> 00:35:33,760
that it happened so close
to Mount Musinè?
597
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,260
Let's just suppose
that the common thread here
598
00:35:37,390 --> 00:35:39,770
is actually Earth energies...
599
00:35:40,970 --> 00:35:43,560
which the UFOs know about
600
00:35:43,690 --> 00:35:46,560
and use, perhaps,
601
00:35:46,690 --> 00:35:49,400
to draw the energy
that they need.
602
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,110
So, might we be dealing
with not just visitation
603
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:57,070
but a more permanent facility?
604
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,700
MARTELL: So, when we look
at Mount Musinè and this energy,
605
00:35:59,830 --> 00:36:01,160
we wonder if there isn't
something happening
606
00:36:01,290 --> 00:36:02,910
below ground as well.
607
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,290
Could this be a location
of some type of secret base?
608
00:36:07,130 --> 00:36:09,250
NARRATOR:
A secret alien base?
609
00:36:09,380 --> 00:36:12,710
Could this be the reason why
so many strange events
610
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,930
have been reported
in this area for centuries?
611
00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:18,140
And might it also explain
what happened
612
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:20,100
to the lost city?
613
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:24,390
Does it still exist
inside the mountain?
614
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,900
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
615
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:31,270
the most compelling
evidence of all may be found
616
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,400
by examining an incident
that happened
617
00:36:33,530 --> 00:36:36,780
not above Mount Musinè
but on its slopes.
618
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,870
December 8, 1978.
619
00:36:42,990 --> 00:36:45,620
Two hikers are on Mount Musinè
620
00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:48,250
when they witness a strong
and blinding light
621
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:50,960
that seems to envelop
the mountain summit.
622
00:36:51,090 --> 00:36:54,550
Curious, one of the men
approaches the light
623
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:58,390
and vanishes into thin air.
624
00:36:58,510 --> 00:37:00,680
When he turns up again,
625
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,810
he is dazed, confused,
he's apparently in shock.
626
00:37:05,930 --> 00:37:08,190
He has a scalded leg.
627
00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:11,770
And when he comes around,
he relays this account
628
00:37:11,900 --> 00:37:16,360
of how he was taken on board
this craft.
629
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,280
NARRATOR: Immediately following
this terrifying ordeal,
630
00:37:21,410 --> 00:37:23,370
both hikers come down
with a sever case
631
00:37:23,490 --> 00:37:26,830
of conjunctivitis,
an inflammation or infection
632
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,120
of the membrane
that lines the eyelid
633
00:37:29,250 --> 00:37:31,500
and covers the whites
of the eyes.
634
00:37:31,630 --> 00:37:37,050
So it would seem that they were
in contact with some kind
635
00:37:37,170 --> 00:37:39,470
of radiation that ultimately
affected their health,
636
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:41,220
in a sense.
637
00:37:41,340 --> 00:37:44,560
And this is a story that occurs
over and over again
638
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,600
in UFO lore.
639
00:37:46,730 --> 00:37:50,770
POPE: When we look at this incident
and some of the previous ones,
640
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:52,270
what are the themes?
641
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,360
Fire in the sky.
Energy.
642
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,200
Scalding. Burning.
643
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,700
It's all about power.
644
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:04,830
Are these sightings being caused
because there are, perhaps,
645
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:07,750
underground facilities, bases?
646
00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:11,540
And if that's true,
maybe it's not just one base
647
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:15,250
but a network of bases
in that area.
648
00:38:17,050 --> 00:38:19,220
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials
have remained on Earth
649
00:38:19,340 --> 00:38:21,180
for thousands of years,
650
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,680
secretly operating from bases
651
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,390
hidden throughout Italy's
Susa Valley,
652
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,560
why haven't they left?
653
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,400
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe that the most recent
654
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,320
activity to be reported
on Mount Musinè may suggest
655
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,240
that the answer
will soon be revealed.
656
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:50,120
Corio, Italy, 20 miles north
of Mount Musinè.
657
00:38:50,250 --> 00:38:54,750
June 6, 2018.
658
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,920
At 11:00 p.m., the residents
of this small town
659
00:38:59,050 --> 00:39:03,260
are startled by the sight
of two F-16 fighter jets.
660
00:39:03,390 --> 00:39:06,720
They appear to be in pursuit
of a giant orb of light
661
00:39:06,850 --> 00:39:10,230
passing rapidly overhead
in the night sky.
662
00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:13,190
Government officials
later claim that the object
663
00:39:13,310 --> 00:39:15,400
was nothing more than a drone.
664
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,440
But the local townspeople
who witnessed the craft
665
00:39:18,570 --> 00:39:22,570
claimed that it appeared to be
nearly 200 feet in diameter,
666
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:26,070
and that the low-flying jets
were chasing the object
667
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,830
at such extreme velocity,
it shook their windows.
668
00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:35,290
POPE: So, again,
this sighting has to be fit in
669
00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:37,540
with all these other pieces
of the puzzle.
670
00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:40,630
All these other sightings
over the years
671
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,720
in this exact same area,
672
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,970
right back from the day
of Constantine
673
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:50,770
through to the Italian Air Force
chasing UFOs.
674
00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:53,350
Of all the hundreds
of UFO conferences
675
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,270
I've attended over the years,
676
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,570
I've only ever once been to one
677
00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:01,820
where a delegation
of military officers
678
00:40:01,940 --> 00:40:04,950
have arrived in uniform
679
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:07,620
and actually given
a presentation.
680
00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:11,200
That conference took place
in San Marino,
681
00:40:11,330 --> 00:40:14,210
and the officers were
from the Italian Air Force.
682
00:40:14,330 --> 00:40:18,920
There's something about
this area that's important,
683
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,170
but we don't know
what it is yet.
684
00:40:25,130 --> 00:40:27,640
When we try to come
to a conclusion or a summation
685
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,010
about what is going on in Italy,
686
00:40:31,140 --> 00:40:34,520
going back from prehistoric
times to modern times,
687
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,110
the common element is: The gods
came to this very specific place
688
00:40:39,230 --> 00:40:42,230
because of something
at Mount Musinè.
689
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,990
Something either in the mountain
690
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:46,700
or something that was
placed there by them.
691
00:40:46,820 --> 00:40:50,160
NARRATOR: Some ancient
astronaut theorists believe
692
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,490
that it is not just
Mount Musinè,
693
00:40:52,620 --> 00:40:55,000
but also Mount Pirchiriano,
694
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,830
where the Sacra di San Michele
was erected,
695
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,670
and other peaks throughout
the Italian Alps
696
00:41:00,790 --> 00:41:04,090
that are hiding secret
alien bases.
697
00:41:04,210 --> 00:41:08,970
CHILDRESS: Perhaps these mountains
are like outposts or embassies
698
00:41:09,090 --> 00:41:11,300
where the extraterrestrials
are active,
699
00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:12,970
they have their technology.
700
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:15,140
Craft are coming and going
701
00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:18,270
from these secret
mountain bases.
702
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,940
And part of their agenda is
to contact people,
703
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:23,110
to influence them.
704
00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:26,700
So this is, perhaps,
what these mountains are about.
705
00:41:26,820 --> 00:41:30,120
This is why these incredible
legends and myths
706
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,330
are associated with them.
707
00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:35,540
NARRATOR: Have extraterrestrials
been hiding out in the mountains
708
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:38,500
of Northern Italy for hundreds
709
00:41:38,620 --> 00:41:41,920
and perhaps even thousands
of years?
710
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,880
Is this the location
of an alien embassy on Earth,
711
00:41:46,010 --> 00:41:47,760
known to high ranking
government officials
712
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,970
throughout the world?
713
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:53,600
Perhaps the mysterious carvings
found in Val Camonica
714
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:57,020
represent not only visitors
who came to Earth
715
00:41:57,140 --> 00:41:58,770
in the distant past,
716
00:41:58,890 --> 00:42:00,730
but who are still here,
717
00:42:00,850 --> 00:42:04,730
preparing to reconnect
with humanity once again.
