to judge for themselves
what they see in that video

64
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:26,998
was part of a team assigned to
analyze the sensational footage.

65
00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:30,419
[Taylor] The original analysis
done of this video

66
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,880
was that this was a fast-moving

67

dirigible type vehicle

68
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:40,762
because it reacts in the way
that a balloon reacts

69
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:43,306
when you hit it with a missile.

70
00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:47,894
The problem is that it was
moving too fast to be a balloon,

71
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:51,314

from this video,

exactly what this object was.

this Hellfire missile

bounces off the object--

about the existence

The pilots were seeing
multiple instances of UAPs.

And they were having
near midair collisions.

128
00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:35,687
And I learned about this
from an email I received

on the Navy's secret network

130
00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:40,233

"Urgent safety of flight issue,"

which has been declassified.

134
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:52,245
[Gallaudet] That convinced me
that that wasn't our technology

135
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:55,457

Now, to my knowledge,
the understanding of physics

152
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:49,552
It's theoretically possible,
but we have absolutely no idea

153

how we would engineer it

to my knowledge,
nobody on this planet

and that understanding
of-of technology.

157
00:08:00,355 --> 00:08:02,524
[Jeremy Corbell] We have heard
about UFOs operating

158
00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:04,901
in a way that
they call transmedium,

159
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:07,487
which is without
the friction and resistance

160
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:11,032

[Gallaudet] There is
a whole lot of ocean

163
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:19,749
we know nothing about,
and therefore, it's very likely

164
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:23,169
that UAP are occurring
and operating

165
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:26,339

00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:04,669
[Narrator reads on-screen text]

177
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:11,843
A U.S. Customs and
Border Protection aircraft

178
00:09:11,968 --> 00:09:15,972
is conducting a routine patrol
above a regional airport

179
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:17,891
when the plane's thermal camera

180
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:21,519
captures what appears to be
a large metallic object

181
00:09:21,644 --> 00:09:24,230
flying at a high velocity.

182
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:28,777
As the unidentified object
continued out over the ocean,

183
00:09:28,943 --> 00:09:32,864
it began to perform maneuvers
that exceed the capabilities

184
00:09:33,031 --> 00:09:35,366
of any man-made aircraft.

185
00:09:35,492 --> 00:09:39,454
[Pope] At one point,
it descends into the ocean,

186
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:42,791
and then a few moments
later emerges

187
00:09:42,957 --> 00:09:45,960
but, apparently,
has split in two.

188
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:49,130
We don't have
that kind of technology.

189
00:09:50,215 --> 00:09:53,551
[Narrator] The strange object
was recorded for several minutes

190
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:56,721
before it entered
the water and disappeared.

191
00:09:56,888 --> 00:09:58,681
[Tsoukalos] The
Aguadilla footage

192
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:01,392
is unlike anything we have

193
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,814
because not only is there
not a splash zone

194
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:08,608
as the object enters the water,

195
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:12,654
but there's also
no loss in velocity.

196
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:17,700
Now, any physical object
that's known to man today

197
00:10:17,909 --> 00:10:21,538
entering a body of water,
there's an automatic loss

198
00:10:21,746 --> 00:10:24,707
of velocity
and there's a splash zone.

199
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:28,628
That illustrates
some type of technology

200
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:30,505
that's either something that

201
00:10:30,672 --> 00:10:32,257
our military, for example,

202
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:33,800
is working on,

203
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:37,512
or-- I'm sorry--
it's extraterrestrial.

204
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:40,890
[Narrator] Is it possible
that the USO

205
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:45,019
shot off the coast of
Puerto Rico was of alien origin?

206
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,440
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest the answer might lie

207
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:53,611
hidden in the depths where
the strange craft disappeared,

208
00:10:53,778 --> 00:10:59,242
in a mysterious region
known as the Puerto Rico Trench.

209
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:01,786
[Dolan] The Puerto Rico Trench
goes down to roughly

210
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:03,830
about 30,000 feet.

211
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:07,041
And that is a region
of a lot of USO activity

212
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:09,377
and a lot
of aerial UFO activity.

213
00:11:09,586 --> 00:11:11,754
You've got cases
going back to the 1960s

214
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:14,215
of U.S. military vessels

215
00:11:14,382 --> 00:11:16,926
tracking an object
under the water,

216
00:11:17,093 --> 00:11:20,138
and it goes into
the Puerto Rico Trench

217
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,307
and just disappears.

218
00:11:24,475 --> 00:11:26,519
[Narrator] Many
researchers suggest that,

219
00:11:26,644 --> 00:11:30,315
if extraterrestrials
really have come to Earth,

220
00:11:30,481 --> 00:11:33,902
the deepest parts of the ocean--
like the Puerto Rico Trench--

221
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:37,030
would offer
the perfect hiding place.

222
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:40,200
We have mapped the moon and Mars

223
00:11:40,325 --> 00:11:43,036
to a higher resolution
than our own seafloor.

224
00:11:44,162 --> 00:11:46,289
And in fact, there's
huge areas of the ocean

225
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:48,124
that we know nothing about.

226
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,795
[Childress] Our oceans
are so vast and mysterious.

227
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:57,050
There could be all kinds
of stuff deep within them.

228
00:11:57,217 --> 00:12:00,637
The deepest part of our oceans
are about seven miles deep,

229
00:12:00,803 --> 00:12:04,224
and you need special submarines
to go that deep.

230
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:09,938
So now, with all of these
stories of underwater UFOs,

231
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:11,522
you have to wonder if

232
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:14,567
there is some kind of
underwater alien base,

233
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:17,028
or several of them
around our planet.

234
00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:20,698
[Narrator] Is it possible
that extraterrestrial bases

235
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:23,534
are hidden deep in our oceans?

236
00:12:26,704 --> 00:12:28,623
In 2011,

237
00:12:28,831 --> 00:12:33,169
a Swedish deep-sea exploration
company called Ocean X Team

238
00:12:33,336 --> 00:12:35,129
was exploring the Baltic Sea

239
00:12:35,296 --> 00:12:37,757
when they made
an unexpected discovery.

240
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,301
Using sonar imaging,

241
00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:42,637
the team captured
what appeared to be

242
00:12:42,804 --> 00:12:45,890
a large, man-made structure
on the floor of the ocean,

243
00:12:46,057 --> 00:12:48,601
almost 200 feet wide.

244
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:53,106
[Pope] They're about
300 feet down,

245
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:57,402
and they discover,
on the seabed, this anomaly.

246
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:03,157
And it's been dubbed
the Baltic Sea anomaly.

247
00:13:04,409 --> 00:13:08,079
It's a raised structure
of some sort

248
00:13:08,204 --> 00:13:12,000
with some curves, obviously,
around the edges,

249
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:15,253
but some fairly sharp
right angles, too.

250
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:18,214
[Taylor] Underwater drones
have been

251
00:13:18,381 --> 00:13:19,632
sent down to try
and get pictures

252
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:21,801
and reference what this is.

253
00:13:21,926 --> 00:13:24,470
And what's really
interesting to me

254
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:28,057
is that, when these
underwater submersible

255
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:31,728
sensor platforms get close
enough to get any useful data,

256
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:34,897
there's some kind of
loss of signal.

257
00:13:35,106 --> 00:13:38,234
It's like there's
an intelligence that can jam

258
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:40,069
the useful information.

259
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:43,197
So what is this dome-shaped
object at the bottom there?

260
00:13:44,782 --> 00:13:46,284
[Narrator] Could the
mysterious structure

261
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,745
in the Baltic Sea
have been created

262
00:13:48,911 --> 00:13:52,081
by extraterrestrials
operating in Earth's oceans?

263
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:55,835
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

264
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:58,838
and suggest even more
compelling evidence

265
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:03,426
can be found off the west coast
of the United States.

266
00:14:06,137 --> 00:14:08,139
[Narrator reads on-screen text]

267
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:13,603
New satellite images
taken by Google Earth

268
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:16,606
capture an unusual anomaly
on the seabed

269
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:19,400
six miles
off the coast of Malibu.

270
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:23,654
The curious formation
is in the Santa Monica Basin,

271
00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:25,531
where residents
have been reporting

272
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:29,535
both UFOs and USOs for decades.

273
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:32,705
[Pope] Now, I've seen a lot
of these so-called anomalies,

274
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:37,418
and sometimes it's just,
obviously, a geological shape.

275
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,588
But not this one.

276
00:14:40,755 --> 00:14:43,132
For example, there's
a part of it which looks like

277
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:48,054
a flat, oval-shaped platform
of some sort.

278
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:51,224
But under that, there are

279
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:54,185
what I can only describe
as columns, pillars.

280
00:14:55,103 --> 00:14:56,395
What is this?

281
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:59,148
Is it some kind of building?

282
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:03,528
Some structure built
by an ancient civilization?

283
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:06,239
Or perhaps by extraterrestrials?

284
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:09,617
I mean, this is
about 3,000 feet down.

285
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:14,956
If extraterrestrials want
to establish bases on Earth,

286
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:18,501
this is the place to do it.
You can't just put divers down.

287
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:21,295
It's a very difficult
and dangerous environment.

288
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:25,800
[Narrator] Speculation that
the formation now known as

289
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,718
the Malibu anomaly

290
00:15:27,844 --> 00:15:30,930
could be an underwater
alien base only grew stronger

291
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:34,642
when, in April 2025,

292
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:37,395
it was suddenly,
and mysteriously,

293
00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:40,064
blurred out on Google Earth.

294
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:44,485
[Pope] Now, a lot
of locations are blurred.

295
00:15:44,652 --> 00:15:48,906
Sometimes, it's because there
are military facilities nearby

296
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,908
that, for reasons
of national security,

297
00:15:51,075 --> 00:15:54,120
you don't want that out there
so that adversaries can see it.

298
00:15:54,245 --> 00:15:57,832
And that might be part of it.
But

299
00:15:57,999 --> 00:16:00,418
you wonder. It was out there.

300
00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:02,128
Now it's blurred. Why?

301
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,631
[Narrator] In the
very same area

302
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:07,592
as the Malibu anomaly,

303
00:16:07,758 --> 00:16:12,471
unusual phenomena
have been reported for decades.

304
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:17,435
[Pope] One really interesting
report was July 8th, 1947,

305
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:21,981
which by coincidence,
or maybe not, was the very day

306
00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:26,819
that the Roswell Daily Record
reported the infamous UFO crash.

307
00:16:27,904 --> 00:16:30,323
Three Army veterans

308
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:33,868
witnessed six flying discs

309
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:37,622
at huge speed
passing over Avalon

310
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:42,126
on Catalina Island before
disappearing off towards Malibu.

311
00:16:43,377 --> 00:16:46,589
The thing you have
with some of these USO cases

312
00:16:46,756 --> 00:16:51,552
is this is not an isolated
type of an observation. Why?

313
00:16:51,719 --> 00:16:53,638
Is there a base down there?

314
00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:56,849
You really have to ask yourself
what is going on there.

315
00:16:59,602 --> 00:17:01,187
[Narrator] Could there be
a connection

316
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,022
between the Malibu anomaly

317
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:05,900
and the many USO sightings
that have been reported

318
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,402
off the coast
of Southern California?

319
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:12,031
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

320
00:17:12,198 --> 00:17:13,699
and point to the fact

321
00:17:13,907 --> 00:17:16,160
that some of the most
compelling UAP videos

322
00:17:16,327 --> 00:17:18,454
captured by the U.S. Navy

323
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:22,250
occurred in this exact location.

324
00:17:28,089 --> 00:17:30,883
[Narrator reads on-screen text]

325
00:17:31,008 --> 00:17:34,095
Petty Officer Third Class
Gary Voorhis

326
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:36,764
is stationed
on the USS Princeton,

327
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:39,517
a guided-missile cruiser
that is one of the Navy's

328
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:42,144
most technologically-advanced
warships.

329
00:17:42,311 --> 00:17:45,273
Voorhis is part of a small team

330
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:49,318
that operates the ship's
sophisticated weapon system.

331
00:17:49,485 --> 00:17:51,571
[Voorhis] We control, basically,

332
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:54,657
the eyes and the brains
of the ships, so,

333
00:17:54,865 --> 00:17:59,412
everything that made the ship
able to engage in combat,

334
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:01,372
we controlled all that stuff.

335
00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:05,084
[Narrator] In November 2004,

336
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:08,921
the Princeton and five other
U.S. warships were deployed

337
00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:11,007
on a routine training exercise

338
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,302
100 miles south
of Catalina Island.

339
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:17,346
But soon after
the maneuvers began,

340
00:18:17,513 --> 00:18:19,307
several mysterious objects

341
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:21,892
suddenly appeared
on the ship's radar.

342
00:18:22,059 --> 00:18:25,146
[Voorhis] We were tracking
these unknown objects.

343
00:18:25,313 --> 00:18:28,065
I personally only saw three

344
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:30,776
at a time, when I witnessed it,

345
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:34,572
but other shipmates of mine
had seen, you know, five, six,

346
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:36,198
seven of them in formation,

347
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:38,117
and it was always
a loose formation.

348
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:41,037
It wasn't like a perfect, you
know, V or anything like that.

349
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:44,248
[Narrator] As Voorhis
and his fellow shipmates

350
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:47,001
observed the objects on radar,

351
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,588
they struggled to identify
the unknown craft.

352
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:53,049
[Voorhis] They were a little odd
because they were flying

353
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:56,552
very, very slow, and they were
only running about 100 knots.

354
00:18:56,719 --> 00:18:59,972
And the other odd thing
about these tracks is that

355
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:02,933
they didn't have
any type of identification,

356
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,436
so it-it was very particular.

357
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:06,812
I think I kind of rationalized
things

358
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:08,814
a little bit differently
than most because,

359
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:12,902
in my world, things
don't exist until they do.

360
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:15,279
Things don't really surprise me.

361
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:17,198
I remember cracking a joke
when we first saw it.

362
00:19:17,365 --> 00:19:19,492
I go, "What do we got,
a fleet of balsa wood gliders

363
00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:21,160
going across here?"
'Cause, you know,

364
00:19:21,285 --> 00:19:24,455
for them to go that slow,
it was just odd.

365
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:27,166
And then

366
00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:29,585
the moment it did get
a little serious for me

367
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:33,130
is when I finally
did get a command

368
00:19:33,297 --> 00:19:35,466
to take the computers down

369
00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:38,177
and run diagnostics on them and

370
00:19:38,386 --> 00:19:41,055
try to figure out
if there was any issues.

371
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:43,516
And so, when I checked it,
everything came out perfect,

372
00:19:43,683 --> 00:19:45,810
and actually, the tracks were,
if anything, much clearer,

373
00:19:45,976 --> 00:19:48,604
even after we brought
the systems back up.

374
00:19:48,771 --> 00:19:52,441
So, they were
100% real radar tracks.

375
00:19:54,276 --> 00:19:56,696
[Narrator] After tracking
the unusual objects

376
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:58,823
for more than a week,

377
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,158
officers on board
the Princeton took action.

378
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:04,745
They radioed the USS Nimitz
aircraft carrier

379
00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:08,916
to deploy two F/A-18 fighter
jets to get a closer look.

380
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:14,296
But as soon as the jet fighters
took to the sky,

381
00:20:14,505 --> 00:20:16,590
the mysterious slow-moving craft

382
00:20:16,757 --> 00:20:20,094
began to perform
extraordinary maneuvers.

383
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:22,763
And it was during this mission

384
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:25,224
that the famous
"Tic Tac" thermal video

385
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:27,935
was taken by one of the pilots.

386
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:31,105
[Voorhis] When people see
the Tic Tac video,

387
00:20:31,272 --> 00:20:33,023
you know, they're like,
"It's just a dot on a screen,"

388
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:36,152
and what made it so amazing,
it's not just a dot.

389
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:37,653
It's a thermal dot.

390
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:39,572
It's one universal color.

391
00:20:39,739 --> 00:20:42,575
Where's the engine? The engine
should be a different color.

392
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:45,202
Where are the wings?
The wings should be

393
00:20:45,327 --> 00:20:46,871
producing some type
of friction in the air,

394
00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:48,372
which would be
a different color.

395
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:52,334
So, there's no way you were
gonna have a thermal image

396
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,295
of something flying
through the air

397
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:58,215
that didn't have a gradient
of thermal going across it,

398
00:20:58,382 --> 00:21:00,718
so it blew my mind.

399
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:04,430
And then, I think, at one point,
it went to 28,000 feet,

400
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:09,393
just to five feet above
sea level in, like,.7 seconds.

401
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,980
These are speeds that would
literally crush a human.

402
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:15,399
And they're like, "Yeah, it is
what you think it is.

403
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:17,818
We're tracking
a, you know, a UFO."

404
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:22,615
[Corbell] Initial reporting
was that when the Tic Tacs

405
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:25,117
were arriving at sea level,

406
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:26,744
there was a disturbance
in the water,

407
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:28,996
like, a circular disturbance.

408
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:33,709
So it makes me wonder
is were the Tic Tacs docking

409
00:21:33,876 --> 00:21:36,587
with a USO under the water?

410
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:41,217
[Narrator] The UAP activity
witnessed by Gary Voorhis

411
00:21:41,425 --> 00:21:43,344
and other Navy personnel

412
00:21:43,511 --> 00:21:45,596
off the coast
of southern California

413
00:21:45,763 --> 00:21:47,848
remains unexplained.

414
00:21:48,891 --> 00:21:51,268
But almost 15 years later,

415
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:54,730
U.S. warships captured
even more compelling video

416
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:57,149
near Catalina Island featuring
what has been called

417
00:21:57,316 --> 00:22:00,069
a "swarm" of UAPs.

418
00:22:00,236 --> 00:22:05,074
One of these objects displayed
particularly bizarre properties.

419
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:07,827
There was a really
well-known case

420
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:10,329
from a Navy ship
called the USS Omaha

421
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:12,289
off Southern California in 2019

422
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:14,834
where the sailors
were observing,

423
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,837
on forward-looking infrared,
a UAP,

424
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:21,757
a spherical object that had
no flight control surfaces,

425
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:26,095
did not exhibit any exhaust from
engine intakes or outtakes, and

426
00:22:26,262 --> 00:22:27,930
the object then moved
into the water

427
00:22:28,097 --> 00:22:29,431
and wasn't seen again,

428
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:31,267
and we don't have
anything like that.

429
00:22:33,602 --> 00:22:37,481
[Tsoukalos] The USS Omaha
footage is fascinating

430
00:22:37,606 --> 00:22:41,402
insofar that
there is no splash zone

431
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:47,157
in the video, and I've looked
at that video dozens of times.

432
00:22:47,324 --> 00:22:50,578
It's as if there's
an artificial bubble

433
00:22:50,744 --> 00:22:55,541
that allows this thing
to move through material

434
00:22:55,749 --> 00:22:58,294
without any loss of velocity.

435
00:23:00,004 --> 00:23:01,297
I want to know.
What are these objects?

436
00:23:01,505 --> 00:23:03,674
How do they do it?
What's their intention?

437
00:23:03,841 --> 00:23:07,511
[Anna] I absolutely agree
with Admiral Gallaudet that

438
00:23:07,678 --> 00:23:09,638
there needs to be
a focus on USOs

439
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:12,474
because we've heard directly
from witnesses that

440
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:15,394
they had seen USOs actually
outpacing our submarines

441
00:23:15,561 --> 00:23:19,356
to the tune of 200
to 300 miles an hour underwater.

442
00:23:19,523 --> 00:23:22,693
That, to me,
is a massive red flag.

443
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,653
What are these things and

444
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:26,322
is it of nonhuman origin?

445
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:29,617
[Tsoukalos] The reason
why I think it's significant

446
00:23:29,783 --> 00:23:33,370
that a great majority
of these sightings

447
00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:36,707
happen over water,
or now in the water,

448
00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:38,167
is because

449
00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:41,962
water is the same everywhere.

450
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:45,925
Whether it is water on Earth
or on some distant planet,

451
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:47,927
it's a chemical element.

452
00:23:48,093 --> 00:23:49,762
H2O.

453
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:53,766
H2O here is the same as H2O

454
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:56,685
on, you know, planet so-and-so.

455
00:23:56,852 --> 00:23:58,145
So, if you figure out

456
00:23:58,312 --> 00:24:02,399
how to use water
as your main resource,

457
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:05,903
well, then, the universe
has just become your playground.

458
00:24:07,446 --> 00:24:09,573

encountered near Catalina Island

460
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:16,580
evidence of an alien presence
in our seas?

461
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:20,167

00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:33,235
Soviet divers--
their equivalent of Navy SEALs--

521
00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:37,155
encountered what had become
known as "the swimmers."

522
00:27:38,282 --> 00:27:41,535
[Stonehill] There are
unusual humanoid beings,

523
00:27:41,743 --> 00:27:43,245
three meter tall,

524
00:27:43,412 --> 00:27:46,748
operating in the deep waters
of Lake Baikal

525
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:50,794
without using any breathing
apparatus or any other help,

526
00:27:50,961 --> 00:27:54,923
and they were clad
in silvery suits

527
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:57,926
and operating freely down below.

528
00:27:58,969 --> 00:28:00,512
[Pope] Now, the divers

529
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:03,765
came back up, they reported this
up the chain of command

530
00:28:03,932 --> 00:28:05,642
and they were basically told,

531
00:28:05,809 --> 00:28:10,898
"Well, go back down and try
to capture one of these beings.

532
00:28:12,983 --> 00:28:15,360
So, the divers went
back down again.

533
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:18,363
[Dolan] They are at
a couple of hundred feet,

534
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,574
and a shockwave
occurs down there

535
00:28:20,741 --> 00:28:24,453
and they had
to surface immediately.

536
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:29,291
And what's tragic
about this story is that the

537
00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:32,127
depressurization chambers
that the Soviet military had

538
00:28:32,294 --> 00:28:34,588
were not all fully functional.

539
00:28:34,755 --> 00:28:37,215
And several of these men
were not able to get

540
00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:40,928
depressurized quickly enough,
and they died of the bends.

541
00:28:42,262 --> 00:28:44,097
Now, there's other accounts
relating to that

542
00:28:44,306 --> 00:28:46,099
which indicate
that they may have seen

543
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:49,853
a glowing kind of craft
lower than their level.

544
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:53,774
Is it true? Is it not true?

545
00:28:53,941 --> 00:28:56,985
We don't know,
because during the Soviet era,

546
00:28:57,152 --> 00:29:00,948
it was almost impossible
to report genuine UFOs

547
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:02,532
until the fall
of the Soviet Union

548
00:29:02,699 --> 00:29:04,201
in 1991, '92,

549
00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:06,787
when they started
making these official.

550
00:29:09,957 --> 00:29:12,042
[Narrator] Is it possible
that Soviet divers

551
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:15,671
had a fatal encounter
with extraterrestrial entities

552
00:29:15,837 --> 00:29:18,298
living in Lake Baikal?

553
00:29:18,507 --> 00:29:21,134
According to researchers,
what makes the story

554
00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:22,803
even more compelling

555
00:29:22,970 --> 00:29:25,347
is how it relates
to an ancient legend

556
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:28,350
told by the local Buryat people.

557
00:29:31,478 --> 00:29:33,105
[Stonehill] They have a legend

558
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:37,943
about the underwater castle
of the Erlik Khan.

559
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:40,529
That's how they call
"the underwater king."

560
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:43,323
And it's of silver color.

561
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:44,741
So, this silver color

562
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:48,370
comes in throughout legends

563
00:29:48,537 --> 00:29:51,039
of different people of Eurasia.

564
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:56,420
From the clothing of these
underwater humanoid beings

565
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:59,256
to the description
of this underwater castle,

566
00:29:59,423 --> 00:30:01,133
and they're very
serious about it.

567
00:30:02,551 --> 00:30:04,761
[Pope] When you look
at declassified

568
00:30:04,886 --> 00:30:07,639
Russian government files,

569
00:30:07,764 --> 00:30:11,435
it's very interesting
that 50% of them

570
00:30:11,601 --> 00:30:14,104
detail UAP

571
00:30:14,271 --> 00:30:18,108
as being in some way
associated with the ocean,

572
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:22,279
and another 15%
associate them with lakes.

573
00:30:22,404 --> 00:30:25,449
So, again, water is the key.

574
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:29,828
[Narrator] Could the incredible
story of Lake Baikal

575
00:30:29,995 --> 00:30:31,830
provide the strongest
evidence yet

576
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:36,710
of an otherworldly presence
in Earth's lakes and oceans?

577
00:30:36,877 --> 00:30:38,670
Perhaps further clues
can be found

578
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:43,258
by examining stories
of unusual aquatic encounters

579
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:48,055
not in modern times
but thousands of years ago.

580
00:30:53,393 --> 00:30:55,854
[Narrator] The Soviet
island of Sakhalin.

581
00:30:56,021 --> 00:30:59,316
This ancient landmass
has been contested ground

582
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:03,361
between Russia, China and Japan
for centuries

583
00:31:03,487 --> 00:31:08,366
due to its strategic location
and rich natural resources.

584
00:31:09,409 --> 00:31:13,121
In 1950, Soviet Prime Minister
Joseph Stalin

585
00:31:13,246 --> 00:31:16,083
orders the top-secret
construction of a tunnel

586
00:31:16,249 --> 00:31:20,378
to connect the island
of Sakhalin to mainland Russia.

587
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,549
According to reports,
the ambitious project

588
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,803
would yield
an unexpected discovery.

589
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:31,264
27,000 people

590
00:31:31,431 --> 00:31:34,643
were involved
in this so-called Project 506.

591
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:37,562
There's only scant information,
but it has been confirmed.

592
00:31:37,687 --> 00:31:38,939
People who had worked there

593
00:31:39,147 --> 00:31:42,526
had to sign
nondisclosure agreements.

594
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,655
But we do know
that while building the tunnel,

595
00:31:46,822 --> 00:31:50,158
they encountered,
in those hollows below,

596
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:54,704
remnants of much more
ancient structures,

597
00:31:54,871 --> 00:31:57,666
and remnants of

598
00:31:57,833 --> 00:31:59,584
beings that are not human.
I'm just going by

599
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:01,211
the description
that's available.

600
00:32:01,378 --> 00:32:04,131
And that's it. We don't know
much more than that.

601
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:07,092
And just after
Stalin's death in 1953,

602
00:32:07,259 --> 00:32:09,094
it was abruptly stopped.

603
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:12,514
[Narrator] Could the stories
be true

604
00:32:12,681 --> 00:32:15,267
that the Soviet workers
came upon ancient structures

605
00:32:15,433 --> 00:32:20,272
and nonhuman bodies
inside this undersea tunnel?

606
00:32:21,356 --> 00:32:24,234
Perhaps clues can be found
in the mythology

607
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:27,028
of the people who have
lived on Sakhalin island

608
00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:30,365
for thousands of years,
called the Ainu.

609
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:34,286
The Ainu believe
that otherworldly beings

610
00:32:34,452 --> 00:32:38,123
have been coming to the island
since ancient times.

611
00:32:39,166 --> 00:32:42,919
[Stonehill] The Ainu people
have an interesting mythology

612
00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:45,672
and beliefs in visitations

613
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:47,883
from spirits, they call them,

614
00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:50,760
or deities who would
come and live with them.

615
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:53,722
[Narrator] The Ainu
are considered to be

616
00:32:53,847 --> 00:32:55,891
the descendants of the Jomon,

617
00:32:56,057 --> 00:32:58,268
the original inhabitants
of Japan

618
00:32:58,435 --> 00:33:02,314
who emerged
roughly 14,000 years ago.

619
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:05,442
The Jomon are best known

620
00:33:05,567 --> 00:33:08,069
for the thousands of figurines
they left behind

621
00:33:08,236 --> 00:33:10,488
called the dogu,

622
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:13,992
which depict strange figures
wearing garments

623
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:15,994
that many researchers
have compared

624
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:19,331
to both space suits
and diving suits.

625
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:23,335
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

626
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:25,962
this is just one
of many connections

627
00:33:26,129 --> 00:33:28,924
between extraterrestrial
beings and the sea

628
00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:31,760
that appear throughout history.

629
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:36,723
[Tsoukalos] The earliest
of culture bringers

630
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:40,602
to planet Earth was
a fish deity called Oannes,

631
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:43,480
with the ancient Sumerians.
And

632
00:33:43,605 --> 00:33:46,483
it is described
how this fish being

633
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:50,028
descended from the sky
in physical form,

634
00:33:50,195 --> 00:33:51,905
imparted knowledge

635
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:54,532
to the Babylonians
and the first Sumerians.

636
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:59,913
And at night, this Oannes guy
would walk into the water,

637
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,748
and that's where he would live.

638
00:34:01,915 --> 00:34:04,167
And then reemerge the next day,

639
00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:08,672
to impart more knowledge
to the local population.

640
00:34:09,797 --> 00:34:12,592
[Childress] Oannes
comes out of the ocean,

641
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:15,512
and he then
teaches the Babylonians

642
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:19,808
science and technology
and medicine and agriculture.

643
00:34:19,975 --> 00:34:22,435
So, he's an amphibious God.

644
00:34:23,561 --> 00:34:25,480
[Narrator] Other tales
of powerful beings

645
00:34:25,605 --> 00:34:27,274
living underwater

646
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,819
can be found in the stories
of ancient Greece.

647
00:34:31,027 --> 00:34:34,447
The god Poseidon
was the king of the seas,

648
00:34:34,614 --> 00:34:38,118
and ruled a race of humanlike
beings called the Telchines,

649
00:34:38,284 --> 00:34:41,246
who could live
both in and out of water.

650
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:45,458
And Poseidon's son Triton
was often depicted

651
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:47,918
as a half man, half fish deity

652
00:34:48,043 --> 00:34:51,130
who could control
the waves of the ocean.

653
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:54,092
[Robert Stephan] So, Triton--
he's got the upper body of a man

654
00:34:54,259 --> 00:34:57,094
and the lower body of a fish.

655
00:34:57,262 --> 00:35:01,516
And what he does is,
with his conch shell, he

656
00:35:01,683 --> 00:35:05,478
brings the waves into action
or calms the seas.

657
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:09,149
[Tsoukalos] What's fascinating
is that while Triton

658
00:35:09,316 --> 00:35:11,568
is initially described as a

659
00:35:11,735 --> 00:35:14,029
single being,
it's later written that

660
00:35:14,195 --> 00:35:15,947
there is an entire race
of Tritons.

661
00:35:17,032 --> 00:35:19,075
And they have these
magical conch shells

662
00:35:19,242 --> 00:35:21,661
with which they can
control the waves.

663
00:35:21,870 --> 00:35:23,496
And they're also said to dwell

664
00:35:23,663 --> 00:35:27,000
in golden palaces
beneath the sea.

665
00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:30,879
Now, when you look at this story
with modern eyes,

666
00:35:31,004 --> 00:35:34,716
you have to ask
if what our ancestors witnessed

667
00:35:34,883 --> 00:35:37,093
were flesh-and-blood
extraterrestrials

668
00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:39,095
wearing diving suits,

669
00:35:39,262 --> 00:35:41,556
and these so-called
golden palaces

670
00:35:41,723 --> 00:35:45,644
were some type
of underwater alien bases.

671
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:49,814
[Narrator] Another ancient story

672
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:52,651
involving an underwater
dwelling place

673
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:56,279
can be found in the Hindu tale
of evil entities

674
00:35:56,404 --> 00:35:59,240
called the nivatakavachas,

675
00:35:59,407 --> 00:36:01,701
who occupied an entire city

676
00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:05,914
hidden deep below the surface
of the Indian Ocean.

677
00:36:06,081 --> 00:36:10,877
[Henry] The nivatakavachas live
in this city beneath the ocean

678
00:36:11,044 --> 00:36:14,506
that's said to be crystalline
in nature, shining like gold,

679
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:18,510
and lit from a light
that does not come from the Sun.

680
00:36:18,677 --> 00:36:21,554
They have these incredible
weapons that they use.

681
00:36:21,721 --> 00:36:23,390
And so, in every way,
shape and form,

682
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:26,101
the nivatakavachas sound like

683
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:28,937
some sort of
technological creatures

684
00:36:29,145 --> 00:36:32,482
that the ancient Hindu myth
is telling us were real beings.

685
00:36:33,566 --> 00:36:36,986
[Childress] We have these
stories of these amphibious gods

686
00:36:37,153 --> 00:36:40,824
who are instructing people
all over the world.

687
00:36:40,990 --> 00:36:43,159
And so, you know,
you have to wonder

688
00:36:43,284 --> 00:36:46,121
if this has to do
with extraterrestrials.

689
00:36:47,831 --> 00:36:50,083
[Narrator] Could the stories
of the ancient world

690
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:54,212
reveal that our ancestors
encountered extraterrestrials

691
00:36:54,379 --> 00:36:56,423
in Earth's lakes and oceans?

692
00:36:57,465 --> 00:37:00,760
And if so,
have underwater alien bases

693
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:04,639
existed on our planet
for thousands of years?

694
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:09,185
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe we may soon know more

695
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:10,979
than ever before

696
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:15,650
as China begins construction
on a research center

697
00:37:15,817 --> 00:37:18,737
deep beneath the ocean.

698
00:37:22,407 --> 00:37:24,743
[Narrator] Planet Earth
has a surface area

699
00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:28,580
of 197 million square miles.

700
00:37:28,788 --> 00:37:32,125
Incredibly, the world
that we inhabit on land

701
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:37,005
represents just one percent
of the planet's livable space.

702
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:40,717
The rest belongs to the oceans,

703
00:37:40,842 --> 00:37:43,845
and as of 2025,

704
00:37:44,012 --> 00:37:46,431
only five percent
of this vast expanse

705
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:49,184
has been significantly explored.

706
00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:51,603
[Dolan] Our planet's oceans are

707
00:37:51,728 --> 00:37:53,521
both explored and unexplored.

708
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:55,106
There's a lot that we've learned

709
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:58,359
over the last century or more
about them.

710
00:37:59,444 --> 00:38:04,032
But it is important to note
that most of the ocean remains,

711
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:08,369
at a scientific level,
not properly explored or mapped.

712
00:38:08,536 --> 00:38:10,163
So, there's a lot
that we don't know.

713
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,248
[Pope] The United States,

714
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:15,043
Russia, China are all

715
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:17,754
devoting a lot more time

716
00:38:17,921 --> 00:38:23,301
and resources
on exploring the oceans

717
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:27,013
and expanding their footprint.

718
00:38:28,097 --> 00:38:30,934
It's very apparent
that there's been

719
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:34,145
a shift in focus
over the last few years,

720
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:38,191
and that the oceans are becoming
more and more the focus

721
00:38:38,358 --> 00:38:40,652
when it comes
to the world's superpowers.

722
00:38:41,778 --> 00:38:43,071
[Narrator] One country
leading the charge

723
00:38:43,238 --> 00:38:46,366
in deep-sea exploration
is China.

724
00:38:46,533 --> 00:38:49,744
In 2020, they launched
a manned submersible

725
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:54,207
that can reach depths
of nearly 15,000 feet.

726
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:59,254
And in February 2025,
the Chinese government

727
00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:01,548
announced plans to construct

728
00:39:01,714 --> 00:39:05,677
a permanent underwater research
base on the ocean floor.

729
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,097
This so-called
"underwater space station"

730
00:39:09,305 --> 00:39:12,517
will support six scientists
for weeks at a time

731
00:39:12,642 --> 00:39:15,520
at a depth of 6,500 feet,

732
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:19,774
far beyond the reach
of military submarines.

733
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:22,694
This new underwater base
that China is building

734
00:39:22,861 --> 00:39:24,612
is truly incredible.

735
00:39:24,779 --> 00:39:27,574
It's something that may have
been considered impossible

736
00:39:27,740 --> 00:39:29,617
just a decade ago.

737
00:39:29,826 --> 00:39:31,494
And it really marks
a moment in our history

738
00:39:31,661 --> 00:39:34,247
where world leaders
are starting to push their focus

739
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:37,041
from the skies to the seas.

740
00:39:38,835 --> 00:39:41,796
[Pope] The amount of time,
resources, money

741
00:39:41,963 --> 00:39:45,174
that's been spent down there

742
00:39:45,341 --> 00:39:48,970
leads one to speculate,
"Do they know something?"

743
00:39:49,137 --> 00:39:51,431
Is there something else
under the ocean

744
00:39:51,598 --> 00:39:54,309
that the public
aren't being told about

745
00:39:54,475 --> 00:39:57,478
but that the military
and governments are aware of?

746
00:39:58,938 --> 00:40:02,275
[Narrator] If China's plan
for an underwater base succeeds,

747
00:40:02,442 --> 00:40:04,319
scientists will gain access

748
00:40:04,444 --> 00:40:08,197
to more extreme depths
of the ocean than ever before.

749
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:12,201
But as we learn more
about this aquatic realm,

750
00:40:12,327 --> 00:40:13,870
what will we find?

751
00:40:14,037 --> 00:40:17,248
Might the oceans
offer our best chance

752
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:21,044
at discovering extraterrestrial
life here on Earth?

753
00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:23,922
[Gallaudet] I think
it is the time

754
00:40:24,047 --> 00:40:25,673
to take USOs seriously.

755
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,009
We have objects in our ocean,

756
00:40:28,176 --> 00:40:30,053
just like UAP in the atmosphere

757
00:40:30,219 --> 00:40:32,472
that are operating
with impunity.

758
00:40:33,556 --> 00:40:36,601
Think about what
our Navy can learn

759
00:40:36,726 --> 00:40:39,270
if we study USOs more,
as well as

760
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:42,231
all of our maritime
and undersea energy,

761
00:40:42,398 --> 00:40:43,816
offshore energy technologies

762
00:40:43,983 --> 00:40:47,028
by studying these phenomenon.

763
00:40:47,195 --> 00:40:48,571
The truth is down there,

764
00:40:48,738 --> 00:40:51,449
and it behooves us
to go look for the same.

765
00:40:51,616 --> 00:40:53,576
[Tsoukalos] When you think
about the fact that

766
00:40:53,743 --> 00:40:57,038
there are millions of square
miles of ocean left to explore,

767
00:40:57,205 --> 00:40:59,165
it's not outrageous to suggest

768
00:40:59,332 --> 00:41:01,042
that there could be
an extraterrestrial presence

769
00:41:01,167 --> 00:41:02,585
underneath the sea.

770
00:41:04,045 --> 00:41:06,673
[Henry] Stories
of amphibious gods,

771
00:41:06,839 --> 00:41:08,883
hybrid human-fish beings,

772
00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:12,136
are rampant
in the ancient world.

773
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,389
Is that what's in our future?

774
00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:16,391
That there could be
extraterrestrial beings

775
00:41:16,557 --> 00:41:20,019
that will come out from deep
within our own oceans

776
00:41:20,228 --> 00:41:23,022
and have emerged
to be our teachers?

777
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:26,234
[Narrator] As we continue
to explore

778
00:41:26,401 --> 00:41:28,194
what lies hidden
deep below the surface

779
00:41:28,361 --> 00:41:30,238
of Earth's vast waters,

780
00:41:30,405 --> 00:41:34,117
will we encounter visitors
from another planet?

781
00:41:34,242 --> 00:41:38,162
Or even underwater alien bases?

782
00:41:39,247 --> 00:41:42,125
And is it possible
that otherworldly beings

783
00:41:42,291 --> 00:41:44,585
have been hiding
in our oceans and lakes

784
00:41:44,752 --> 00:41:46,921
for thousands of years?

785
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:52,176
Perhaps when we finally
make contact with alien beings,

786
00:41:52,343 --> 00:41:56,180
they will not
be out in the cosmos

787
00:41:56,389 --> 00:42:00,601
but hiding in the waters
of our own planet.
