1
00:00:01,878 --> 00:00:06,672
NARRATOR: A forboding mountain bears
witness to astonishing events.
2
00:00:06,832 --> 00:00:10,993
NICK POPE: Over the years,
there has been all sorts of weirdness
3
00:00:11,054 --> 00:00:12,570
on this mountain.
4
00:00:12,597 --> 00:00:16,849
Mysterious lights,
fire in the sky.
5
00:00:17,009 --> 00:00:21,336
NARRATOR: Ancient stories link
it to otherworldly contact.
6
00:00:21,397 --> 00:00:22,522
Oh, look at that.
7
00:00:22,682 --> 00:00:24,840
- The spaceman?
- Spaceman, exactly.
8
00:00:24,901 --> 00:00:26,008
Look at the helmet.
9
00:00:26,069 --> 00:00:28,085
NARRATOR:
And it has become a hot spot
10
00:00:28,112 --> 00:00:30,512
for modern-day UFO reports.
11
00:00:30,573 --> 00:00:33,107
DAVID CHILDRESS:
We have extraterrestrials
12
00:00:33,201 --> 00:00:35,092
giving a light show for people.
13
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:37,870
NARRATOR:
Could this mysterious mountain be attracting
14
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:41,707
extraterrestrial visitors
to Earth?
15
00:00:41,867 --> 00:00:45,102
WILLIAM HENRY:
The gods came to this very specific place
16
00:00:45,129 --> 00:00:47,195
because of something
either in the mountain
17
00:00:47,257 --> 00:00:49,632
or something that was
placed there by them.
18
00:00:52,804 --> 00:00:54,461
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
19
00:00:54,556 --> 00:00:57,298
in the universe.
20
00:00:57,392 --> 00:01:00,309
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
21
00:01:01,646 --> 00:01:04,230
It demands
we question everything
22
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:06,640
we have ever been taught.
23
00:01:06,734 --> 00:01:10,218
The evidence is all around us.
24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,073
The future is
right before our eyes.
25
00:01:14,233 --> 00:01:17,059
We are not alone.
26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,996
We have never been alone.
27
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:25,998
Ancient Aliens S14E15
(" The Alien Mountain ")
English HI/SDH CC Conversion SRT - UF (14.15)
28
00:01:32,418 --> 00:01:36,578
Situated on the western bank
of the Po River,
29
00:01:36,639 --> 00:01:39,006
this city of nearly
two million people
30
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,750
is an important
international business hub.
31
00:01:41,811 --> 00:01:45,663
It is also the heart of
the Italian automotive industry,
32
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:47,255
with the headquarters of Fiat,
33
00:01:47,317 --> 00:01:51,685
Lancia and Alfa Romeo
all located here.
34
00:01:51,779 --> 00:01:54,262
But overlooking
this modern metropolis
35
00:01:54,324 --> 00:01:58,784
is Italy's most mysterious
and infamous ancient site:
36
00:01:58,944 --> 00:02:01,195
Mount Musinč.
37
00:02:01,289 --> 00:02:04,849
Rising to an elevation
of nearly 4,000 feet,
38
00:02:04,876 --> 00:02:08,853
Mount Musinč has stood at
a unique crossroads of history,
39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,714
geology and the unexplained.
40
00:02:13,009 --> 00:02:17,878
This is a mountain where,
over the years,
41
00:02:17,972 --> 00:02:21,048
almost to the beginning
of recorded human history,
42
00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:23,125
strange things have been seen.
43
00:02:23,186 --> 00:02:25,386
Lights were seen.
44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,813
Sometimes these lights
have been associated
45
00:02:27,973 --> 00:02:28,981
with the forces of good,
46
00:02:29,141 --> 00:02:31,299
others with the forces
of darkness.
47
00:02:31,361 --> 00:02:34,136
But make no mistake about it,
over the years
48
00:02:34,197 --> 00:02:37,472
there has been
all sorts of weirdness
49
00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:39,825
on this mountain.
50
00:02:39,985 --> 00:02:43,979
NARRATOR:
Mount Musinč stands at the easternmost edge
51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,831
of Italy's Susa Valley,
52
00:02:45,991 --> 00:02:49,985
which stretches 31 miles west
to the border of France.
53
00:02:50,046 --> 00:02:54,248
During the Bronze Age,
more than 3,000 years ago,
54
00:02:54,342 --> 00:02:57,751
this valley represented
a major crossroads,
55
00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:00,404
where the local Celtic people,
called the Taurini,
56
00:03:00,431 --> 00:03:02,239
came into contact with
57
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:04,600
the most prominent civilizations
of the time.
58
00:03:06,521 --> 00:03:09,914
The Bronze Age Celts
of Northwestern Italy
59
00:03:09,941 --> 00:03:13,600
were very lucky, because
their particular location
60
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:15,844
was a kind of geographical hub
61
00:03:15,905 --> 00:03:19,924
that had access to Northern
Europe, through the Alps,
62
00:03:19,951 --> 00:03:22,184
and access to the Mediterranean,
going south,
63
00:03:22,245 --> 00:03:25,930
and, indeed, across the
Mediterranean to Egypt.
64
00:03:25,957 --> 00:03:28,708
And people think
that the ancients
65
00:03:28,868 --> 00:03:31,026
pretty much stayed
where they were born,
66
00:03:31,087 --> 00:03:34,362
but many of them traveled
vast distances
67
00:03:34,424 --> 00:03:37,107
and encountered
many other civilizations,
68
00:03:37,135 --> 00:03:40,803
and absorbed some of their ideas
very willingly.
69
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:44,557
NARRATOR:
The Celts in Northern Italy
70
00:03:44,717 --> 00:03:46,800
came into contact
with the Etruscans,
71
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:49,119
the Egyptians and the Greeks.
72
00:03:49,147 --> 00:03:51,472
Each of these cultures
had separate
73
00:03:51,566 --> 00:03:54,900
but very similar
polytheistic traditions
74
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,385
in which they worshipped
a pantheon of gods
75
00:03:57,447 --> 00:04:00,464
that came down to Earth
from the heavens.
76
00:04:00,491 --> 00:04:05,560
And they all revered Mount
Musinč as a place of power.
77
00:04:05,621 --> 00:04:07,972
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
78
00:04:07,999 --> 00:04:12,659
Mount Musinč may in fact be
a special location on Earth
79
00:04:12,754 --> 00:04:16,088
because of where
it is positioned.
80
00:04:16,248 --> 00:04:18,983
Mount Musinč has
an amazing ancient history
81
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:21,093
of magic and mystery.
82
00:04:21,253 --> 00:04:23,837
The significance of its position
83
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:26,173
is that it's located
on a ley line,
84
00:04:26,267 --> 00:04:29,994
which is a gathering place
of Earth energies.
85
00:04:30,021 --> 00:04:34,498
NARRATOR: The concept of ley
lines originated in the 1920s
86
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:38,093
with English landscape
photographer Alfred Watkins.
87
00:04:38,154 --> 00:04:41,280
While researching his book,
The Old Straight Track,
88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,949
Watkins made
the curious discovery
89
00:04:44,109 --> 00:04:46,619
that many of
the prehistoric standing stones
90
00:04:46,779 --> 00:04:49,847
and significant ancient sites
of England and France
91
00:04:49,874 --> 00:04:52,941
line up in
perfectly straight lines.
92
00:04:53,002 --> 00:04:56,278
And many of these sites
that these lines pass through
93
00:04:56,339 --> 00:04:59,706
have names that contain
the letters "L-E-Y,"
94
00:04:59,801 --> 00:05:02,843
like Leyland,
Keighley and Otley.
95
00:05:04,806 --> 00:05:08,382
Ley lines are an alignment
of ancient sites,
96
00:05:08,476 --> 00:05:11,051
four or more of them
over any distance.
97
00:05:11,145 --> 00:05:14,204
And these stretch around
the world in some cases,
98
00:05:14,232 --> 00:05:16,482
and these are often associated
with the same sites
99
00:05:16,642 --> 00:05:18,892
on the straight-line alignments.
100
00:05:18,986 --> 00:05:21,211
So there's a whole network
around the planet
101
00:05:21,239 --> 00:05:22,655
of lots of different types,
102
00:05:22,815 --> 00:05:24,548
some linked with
the magnetic field,
103
00:05:24,575 --> 00:05:27,142
others linked with
underground water
104
00:05:27,203 --> 00:05:30,312
and natural energies
that move through the land.
105
00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:32,314
NARRATOR:
One of the most significant ley lines
106
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:35,409
that has been identified
is the St. Michael line.
107
00:05:35,503 --> 00:05:38,912
Starting from Skellig Michael
in Ireland,
108
00:05:39,006 --> 00:05:41,748
the seven major sites
that lie along this line
109
00:05:41,843 --> 00:05:45,903
each have a church dedicated
to the archangel Michael,
110
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:50,182
all the way down to the Stella
Maris Monastery in Israel.
111
00:05:50,342 --> 00:05:52,834
And incredibly,
there is no record
112
00:05:52,895 --> 00:05:55,020
of the people who lived
in these separate locations
113
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,931
having coordinated this.
114
00:05:58,025 --> 00:06:01,360
One of the sites the St. Michael
line passes through
115
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,362
is Mount Musinč.
116
00:06:04,907 --> 00:06:08,850
You've got this straight line
of all these sites,
117
00:06:08,911 --> 00:06:12,687
and not just any old sites,
power sites.
118
00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:17,877
The ancients believed that
certain parts of the world
119
00:06:18,037 --> 00:06:23,198
were blessed with power, energy,
120
00:06:23,259 --> 00:06:27,444
that Musinč is slap-bang
on that line.
121
00:06:27,471 --> 00:06:30,781
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that ancient people were aware
122
00:06:30,808 --> 00:06:33,058
of energy emanating
from the Earth
123
00:06:33,218 --> 00:06:35,619
and were drawn to the area
of Mount Musinč
124
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:39,139
and the Susa Valley
more than 2,000 years ago?
125
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:42,960
And could these Earth energies
also be responsible
126
00:06:42,987 --> 00:06:44,645
for the many strange events
127
00:06:44,739 --> 00:06:46,797
that have been documented
in this area?
128
00:06:46,824 --> 00:06:48,315
(thunder crashing)
129
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:51,135
Local legends passed down
from ancient times
130
00:06:51,162 --> 00:06:52,653
tell about this mountain
131
00:06:52,747 --> 00:06:56,064
being home to werewolves
and wizards.
132
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:59,643
It was rumored that a dragon
guarded an enchanted cave,
133
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,087
protecting a giant emerald.
134
00:07:02,247 --> 00:07:06,926
And in the fourth century AD,
the Roman Emperor Constantine
135
00:07:07,086 --> 00:07:09,503
claimed to have had
a vision of a cross
136
00:07:09,597 --> 00:07:11,931
floating in the sky
over Mount Musinč
137
00:07:12,091 --> 00:07:14,749
the night before
a decisive battle,
138
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:17,828
one that would lead to him
seizing control of Rome
139
00:07:17,855 --> 00:07:20,088
from his rival, Maxentius,
140
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:22,983
and converting the empire
to Christianity.
141
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:26,670
POPE:
This was a pivotal moment.
142
00:07:26,697 --> 00:07:31,175
The adoption of Christianity
as the official religion
143
00:07:31,202 --> 00:07:33,177
really changed the world,
144
00:07:33,204 --> 00:07:36,372
and that's now a large part
of the world we live in.
145
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:42,962
So did Mount Musinč have
a part in all of this?
146
00:07:43,122 --> 00:07:46,281
And if so, what the heck
was this encounter?
147
00:07:46,342 --> 00:07:50,118
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Now,
it was not just Constantine's vision,
148
00:07:50,179 --> 00:07:53,806
because it is described
that the army of Constantine
149
00:07:53,966 --> 00:07:56,958
also saw something
up in the sky.
150
00:07:57,019 --> 00:08:01,296
So the question is:
Is this one of the earliest
151
00:08:01,357 --> 00:08:03,816
UFO encounters
that we have on record?
152
00:08:03,976 --> 00:08:06,210
And in my opinion,
yes, it is.
153
00:08:06,237 --> 00:08:09,229
NARRATOR:
Could the many extraordinary encounters
154
00:08:09,323 --> 00:08:12,140
recorded at Mount Musinč
throughout the ages
155
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:15,719
be the product
of extraterrestrial visitation?
156
00:08:15,746 --> 00:08:20,240
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and suggest
157
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:22,226
that further evidence
can be found
158
00:08:22,253 --> 00:08:25,838
by examining an incredible
flurry of UFO sightings
159
00:08:25,998 --> 00:08:29,174
reported in much more
recent times.
160
00:08:32,504 --> 00:08:34,054
Northern Italy.
161
00:08:36,175 --> 00:08:39,059
December 2, 1973.
162
00:08:40,563 --> 00:08:44,356
An Alitalia flight is
17 miles outside of Turin
163
00:08:44,516 --> 00:08:48,360
when its pilot sees something
unusual in the night sky
164
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,921
over the nearby Mount Musinč,
165
00:08:50,948 --> 00:08:53,907
something no one can identify.
166
00:08:55,411 --> 00:09:00,688
In 1973, an Alitalia pilot
sees a strange glow
167
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:02,266
over the mountain.
168
00:09:02,293 --> 00:09:05,544
This is apparently
later confirmed
169
00:09:05,704 --> 00:09:06,879
by the control tower.
170
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,531
NARRATOR:
According to witnesses,
171
00:09:09,592 --> 00:09:14,294
the glow appeared to be coming
from a mysterious round object.
172
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:16,780
Two Italian Air Force planes
that were in the vicinity
173
00:09:16,807 --> 00:09:19,633
corroborated the sighting.
174
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:22,728
The UFO report is significant
not only because
175
00:09:22,888 --> 00:09:26,139
it was witnessed by
multiple pilots and passengers,
176
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:28,550
but because within
just a two-week period,
177
00:09:28,611 --> 00:09:31,978
no less than six separate
UFO incidents were reported
178
00:09:32,073 --> 00:09:35,074
in the vicinity of Mount Musinč.
179
00:09:35,234 --> 00:09:36,983
POPE:
If this was in isolation,
180
00:09:37,078 --> 00:09:39,745
then perhaps you could
disregard it.
181
00:09:39,905 --> 00:09:43,307
But when I look at Italy,
182
00:09:43,334 --> 00:09:46,752
and particularly this
specific part of Italy,
183
00:09:46,912 --> 00:09:50,422
it does seem as if
something is going on,
184
00:09:50,582 --> 00:09:53,575
and it seems as if
the Italian government,
185
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:57,245
and maybe others, know that
there's something going on.
186
00:09:57,306 --> 00:10:00,841
NARRATOR:
What can explain the strange incidents
187
00:10:00,935 --> 00:10:03,827
that have been continuously
reported at Mount Musinč
188
00:10:03,854 --> 00:10:05,753
for hundreds of years?
189
00:10:05,815 --> 00:10:10,016
Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
190
00:10:10,111 --> 00:10:12,185
that extraterrestrials
are drawn
191
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:14,780
to this particular place
on Earth?
192
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:17,190
CHILDRESS:
This light phenomenon
193
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:18,859
and unusual activity
on Mount Musinč
194
00:10:18,953 --> 00:10:20,677
has been going on
for thousands of years,
195
00:10:20,704 --> 00:10:22,538
and continues to this day.
196
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,275
POPE:
The challenge really is
197
00:10:27,336 --> 00:10:29,110
to find the connection,
198
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:33,190
to draw together the disparate
threads of this story
199
00:10:33,217 --> 00:10:36,543
and say, "What is it about
this area that's so special?"
200
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:39,696
NARRATOR: Perhaps further clues can be found
201
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:45,369
by investigating the strange
rock carvings found in the area,
202
00:10:45,396 --> 00:10:49,231
carvings that appear to be
depictions of astronauts.
203
00:10:54,479 --> 00:10:56,196
NARRATOR:
Val Camonica, Italy.
204
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:02,235
June 13, 2019.
205
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:06,147
Ancient astronaut theorist
William Henry has traveled
206
00:11:06,208 --> 00:11:08,816
to this UNESCO
World Heritage Site
207
00:11:08,878 --> 00:11:13,563
165 miles from Mount Musinč
to investigate what he believes
208
00:11:13,591 --> 00:11:16,900
could be forensic evidence
that the early civilizations
209
00:11:16,927 --> 00:11:20,888
of this region came into contact
with extraterrestrials.
210
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:25,409
HENRY: Hi, I'm William.
Nice to meet you.
211
00:11:25,436 --> 00:11:27,835
NARRATOR: Joining him
is Luca Giarelli, the head
212
00:11:27,897 --> 00:11:31,815
of the Val Camonica Historical
and Anthropological Society.
213
00:11:34,111 --> 00:11:36,753
Luca has spent years studying
this mysterious region
214
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,365
of Northern Italy, and wants to
show William the rock carvings
215
00:11:40,525 --> 00:11:43,452
for which this alpine valley
is famous.
216
00:11:45,623 --> 00:11:47,456
This place is massive.
217
00:11:54,089 --> 00:11:55,797
I'm ready. Let's go.
218
00:11:57,709 --> 00:11:59,776
HENRY:
I'm here at Val Camonica
219
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:03,630
because it is a treasure trove
of images from the ancient world
220
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:06,725
that have been well-documented
and studied by scholars.
221
00:12:06,885 --> 00:12:09,970
They don't agree on the meaning
of the images, but some of them
222
00:12:10,064 --> 00:12:13,106
are very open-minded
to the ancient astronaut theory.
223
00:12:19,615 --> 00:12:22,616
Footprints. Wow.
224
00:12:26,664 --> 00:12:27,996
They look like deer.
225
00:12:33,671 --> 00:12:35,671
Look at this. Incredible.
226
00:12:42,254 --> 00:12:43,220
Wow.
227
00:12:47,351 --> 00:12:48,892
HENRY:
Oh, look at that.
228
00:12:50,095 --> 00:12:51,419
The spaceman, exactly.
229
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,846
Look at that helmet.
230
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:55,357
Right. It's like he's glowing.
231
00:13:01,606 --> 00:13:02,823
HENRY:
Ah, the Camunian rose.
232
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:13,166
HENRY:
Wow.
233
00:13:17,122 --> 00:13:18,547
19 Camunian roses?
234
00:13:20,384 --> 00:13:22,709
NARRATOR:
Archaeologists call this mysterious object
235
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:25,762
the Camunian rose because
of its flower-like shape.
236
00:13:28,017 --> 00:13:30,216
While its exact meaning
is lost to history,
237
00:13:30,311 --> 00:13:32,460
some believe it to be
a religious symbol
238
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:36,706
or a representation
of the movement of the stars.
239
00:13:36,734 --> 00:13:40,652
But ancient astronaut theorists
suggest it might also depict
240
00:13:40,812 --> 00:13:44,714
something else, the vessel that
brought these helmeted figures
241
00:13:44,742 --> 00:13:47,567
to Val Camonica.
242
00:13:47,661 --> 00:13:48,902
Look at that.
That looks like a spaceship.
243
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:50,570
It's like you look up
in the sky,
244
00:13:50,664 --> 00:13:52,722
and you would see
this kind of twirling,
245
00:13:52,750 --> 00:13:54,750
spinning ship in the sky.
246
00:14:01,666 --> 00:14:05,068
It seems to me, just looking
at it, they're trying to talk
247
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:09,222
about beings coming from other
worlds, maybe to this place.
248
00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:13,310
Tell me about
that five-pointed star.
249
00:14:18,275 --> 00:14:19,399
HENRY:
Mm-hmm.
250
00:14:26,075 --> 00:14:28,516
HENRY: Sometimes the-the stars
mean energy, like,
251
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:30,777
energy from the stars
would come to this place
252
00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:33,187
where star beings
would come to this place.
253
00:14:33,248 --> 00:14:34,447
Yeah.
254
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:35,832
Mm-hmm.
255
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:50,113
Okay. This is like
a newspaper, then.
256
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:54,451
It says, "This was in the sky
above us at some point,
257
00:14:54,478 --> 00:14:58,355
and this spaceman came down and
maybe met the Camunian people."
258
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:04,403
NARRATOR: According to the ancient
stories of the Susa Valley,
259
00:15:04,563 --> 00:15:08,314
the city of Turin was founded by
a character from Greek mythology
260
00:15:08,409 --> 00:15:13,060
called Phaethon, who came
to Earth from the stars.
261
00:15:13,122 --> 00:15:16,990
Legend states that Turin was
founded by the god Phaethon,
262
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:19,809
who is a son
of the sun god Helios.
263
00:15:19,837 --> 00:15:22,996
And in the myth of Phaethon,
we learn the story
264
00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:26,133
of how he descended to Earth
in a fiery chariot...
265
00:15:27,803 --> 00:15:30,178
...perhaps crashing
into Mount Musinč.
266
00:15:32,808 --> 00:15:34,766
This also led
to something fortuitous
267
00:15:34,926 --> 00:15:37,343
because he brought
gifts to this place.
268
00:15:37,438 --> 00:15:41,422
He had great skills,
was a metallurgist,
269
00:15:41,483 --> 00:15:43,984
and taught this
to the local people.
270
00:15:46,321 --> 00:15:49,281
CHILDRESS: When we look at myths
such as the myth of Phaethon,
271
00:15:49,441 --> 00:15:53,860
here is really
the story of a UFO
272
00:15:53,954 --> 00:15:58,331
landing on a mountain
and interacting with the locals.
273
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:02,294
HENRY:
When we look behind this myth of Phaethon,
274
00:16:02,454 --> 00:16:05,538
perhaps this is what we're also
seeing at Val Camonica.
275
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:08,967
I think, given the-the
connection with the spacemen
276
00:16:09,127 --> 00:16:10,877
that are etched into the rock,
277
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:12,545
that we have to be open
to the possibility
278
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:15,456
that what the ancient artist
is trying to portray
279
00:16:15,517 --> 00:16:18,292
is something that he actually
saw in the sky,
280
00:16:18,353 --> 00:16:19,886
something coming out
of the heavens.
281
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:21,629
NARRATOR:
Is there a connection
282
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:24,632
between the stone carvings
found at Val Camonica
283
00:16:24,693 --> 00:16:28,320
and the story of Phaethon's
descent from the sky?
284
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,230
And do other clues exist here
285
00:16:30,324 --> 00:16:32,574
that point
to ancient alien contact?
286
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:36,161
Were there any other cultures
287
00:16:36,321 --> 00:16:37,370
that were connected
with the valley?
288
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:47,380
- What sort of engravings?
- Uh...
289
00:16:48,833 --> 00:16:50,734
Mm-hmm. Oh, the horned god.
290
00:16:50,761 --> 00:16:52,636
Yeah. Right.
291
00:16:58,176 --> 00:17:00,268
HENRY:
That means the Celts were here.
292
00:17:02,347 --> 00:17:04,147
So, is this the only location
where we see the spaceman?
293
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:11,905
- Even deeper into the woods?
- Yeah.
294
00:17:13,617 --> 00:17:15,617
I'd love to go. All right.
295
00:17:20,082 --> 00:17:23,600
NARRATOR: Luca guides William
up a steep portion of the valley
296
00:17:23,627 --> 00:17:26,795
for a rare look at another
carving hidden from public view.
297
00:17:31,543 --> 00:17:33,343
I'm all right, thanks.
298
00:17:35,889 --> 00:17:37,614
Wow.
299
00:17:37,641 --> 00:17:40,308
We're-we're, like,
on the edge of a cliff here.
300
00:17:48,819 --> 00:17:50,885
Wait a minute. Th-That's one of
them. Isn't it? Right there?
301
00:17:50,946 --> 00:17:52,654
- LUCA: Yeah.
- How cool.
302
00:17:53,782 --> 00:17:55,323
HENRY:
Wow.
303
00:17:58,078 --> 00:17:59,652
LUCA:
Like the other one.
304
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:01,746
HENRY: Yeah, these are
just like the other guys.
305
00:18:01,906 --> 00:18:02,998
Yeah.
306
00:18:05,577 --> 00:18:08,128
- HENRY: The detail is amazing.
- Yeah.
307
00:18:09,506 --> 00:18:11,006
HENRY:
Mm-hmm.
308
00:18:14,928 --> 00:18:17,244
HENRY: There's clearly
some kind of an exchange
309
00:18:17,306 --> 00:18:18,913
that's happening here.
310
00:18:18,974 --> 00:18:20,840
It's like
they're making a photograph
311
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:23,602
of what happened at this place.
312
00:18:23,762 --> 00:18:27,355
They're trying to say, "At this
spot, this is what we saw here."
313
00:18:37,659 --> 00:18:41,027
HENRY:
Of all places to find a rock like this.
314
00:18:41,121 --> 00:18:43,604
This is a very secretive,
almost initiatory place
315
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:46,349
where select people
would be brought here
316
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:48,868
to be told this story
about these extraterrestrials.
317
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:49,878
Yeah.
318
00:18:54,635 --> 00:18:57,877
NARRATOR: Were the ancient people
of what is now Northwest Italy
319
00:18:57,971 --> 00:19:00,639
visited by beings
from other worlds?
320
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,642
And could these depictions
of spacemen
321
00:19:03,802 --> 00:19:07,053
and strange craft descending
from the heavens have a link
322
00:19:07,147 --> 00:19:10,464
not only to the origin story
of Turin
323
00:19:10,525 --> 00:19:13,634
but also to the UFO sightings
that have been reported
324
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:17,471
over Mount Musinč
in more recent times?
325
00:19:17,532 --> 00:19:20,900
Val Camonica is in this
incredible vortex, if you will,
326
00:19:20,994 --> 00:19:23,236
that includes Mount Musinč.
327
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:25,830
We're looking at
a-an entire territory here
328
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:28,416
where these extraordinary
experiences are being recorded.
329
00:19:30,712 --> 00:19:32,912
NARRATOR:
According to ancient astronaut theorists,
330
00:19:33,006 --> 00:19:35,322
the carvings at Val Camonica
331
00:19:35,384 --> 00:19:38,826
tell just one part
of a larger story.
332
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:42,572
And they suggest that
nearby ruins may reveal not only
333
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:46,559
that extraterrestrials
visited this region but why.
334
00:19:52,943 --> 00:19:54,434
NARRATOR:
The Susa Valley.
335
00:19:54,528 --> 00:19:57,529
966 AD.
336
00:19:57,689 --> 00:20:00,423
While ascending
Mount Pirchiriano,
337
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:02,775
25 miles west of Turin,
338
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:05,853
and directly across
from Mount Musinč,
339
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:08,448
a Catholic bishop is startled
by an incredible sight
340
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:10,917
that suddenly appears
in the sky.
341
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:16,940
He sees strange lights
in the sky.
342
00:20:16,967 --> 00:20:21,611
And these things are described
as planks and globes
343
00:20:21,638 --> 00:20:24,038
made of fire,
344
00:20:24,099 --> 00:20:29,135
firstly appearing to be on the
mountain itself, then rising up,
345
00:20:29,229 --> 00:20:31,287
flying around across the sky.
346
00:20:31,314 --> 00:20:33,806
But they weren't just sightings.
347
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:37,477
They were sightings
that had a profound consequence.
348
00:20:37,571 --> 00:20:42,799
These strange sightings
prompted the bishop to say,
349
00:20:42,826 --> 00:20:46,652
"This will be the site on which
we will build the new abbey,"
350
00:20:46,747 --> 00:20:51,416
that came to be known
as Sacra di San Michele.
351
00:20:51,576 --> 00:20:53,418
CHILDRESS:
So once again, we have
352
00:20:53,578 --> 00:20:56,421
what seems to be
extraterrestrials
353
00:20:56,581 --> 00:20:58,906
giving a light show for people,
354
00:20:58,967 --> 00:21:02,151
uh, wanting to attract
their attention
355
00:21:02,179 --> 00:21:05,822
and perhaps inspiring them
to-to do certain things.
356
00:21:05,849 --> 00:21:09,675
NARRATOR: The Sacra di San Michele,
or Saint Michael's Abbey,
357
00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:13,254
still stands atop
Mount Pirchiriano today.
358
00:21:13,315 --> 00:21:15,422
It is to this sacred abbey
359
00:21:15,484 --> 00:21:18,501
that ancient astronaut theorist
William Henry is headed
360
00:21:18,528 --> 00:21:22,596
with author and historian
Gnomo Orzo, who plans to reveal
361
00:21:22,657 --> 00:21:25,116
a historic secret.
362
00:21:30,782 --> 00:21:32,773
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh. Look at this.
363
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:34,775
- Yes. Susa Valley.
- Wow.
364
00:21:34,836 --> 00:21:36,869
Wow, wow, wow.
365
00:21:36,963 --> 00:21:39,005
- Look.
- That's incredible.
366
00:21:43,553 --> 00:21:45,953
- HENRY: Musinč.
- ORZO: Yeah.
367
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:49,641
It's like Musinč and the Sacra
are-are twin peaks.
368
00:21:49,801 --> 00:21:50,725
- ORZO: Yes.
- HENRY: Incredible.
369
00:22:05,826 --> 00:22:08,734
And in this place
where the Sacra was built,
370
00:22:08,829 --> 00:22:09,911
we have some other
interesting phenomenon...
371
00:22:35,063 --> 00:22:37,763
NARRATOR:
According to ancient stories,
372
00:22:37,858 --> 00:22:40,249
in this area of
the St. Michael line,
373
00:22:40,277 --> 00:22:42,509
the energy line, or ley line,
374
00:22:42,571 --> 00:22:45,254
that many believe runs
straight through Italy,
375
00:22:45,282 --> 00:22:50,517
a highly advanced civilization
existed thousands of years ago,
376
00:22:50,579 --> 00:22:53,946
a civilization that began
when the god Phaethon
377
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,042
came down from the sky
in his fiery chariot.
378
00:22:58,202 --> 00:23:01,938
The local accounts of Phaethon
not only connect this figure
379
00:23:01,965 --> 00:23:06,292
with the ancient Greeks
but also the ancient Egyptians.
380
00:23:06,386 --> 00:23:08,887
And some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
381
00:23:09,047 --> 00:23:11,280
that as a bringer of technology,
382
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:14,300
Phaethon could be the same
extraterrestrial being
383
00:23:14,394 --> 00:23:16,811
that was known in Egypt as Ptah.
384
00:23:18,723 --> 00:23:20,547
HENRY:
Their names are very similar,
385
00:23:20,609 --> 00:23:22,808
Ptah and Phaethon.
386
00:23:22,903 --> 00:23:25,962
The legend says
that Phaethon founded Turin
387
00:23:25,989 --> 00:23:28,648
in honor of the Apis bull.
388
00:23:28,742 --> 00:23:32,318
Turin, or Turino, is called
the city of the bull.
389
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:35,471
Now, this is very interesting
because in ancient Egypt,
390
00:23:35,498 --> 00:23:39,642
where the reverence
for the Apis bull originated,
391
00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:41,811
we're told that the Apis bull,
392
00:23:41,838 --> 00:23:45,406
or Apis bull, was actually
the Egyptian god of technology,
393
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:48,242
Ptah, incarnate.
394
00:23:48,303 --> 00:23:53,681
Ptah was the Egyptian god
of smithcraft and alchemy.
395
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,418
So we have to ask the question:
396
00:23:57,479 --> 00:24:01,330
Is Musinč a place that was known
in the ancient world,
397
00:24:01,358 --> 00:24:03,274
where the secrets of alchemy
398
00:24:03,434 --> 00:24:06,760
were ultimately going to be
stored or could be accessed?
399
00:24:06,821 --> 00:24:09,614
There seems to be
a very important connection
400
00:24:09,774 --> 00:24:11,857
between the cosmic knowledge
of metallurgy,
401
00:24:11,952 --> 00:24:15,602
which was brought to Earth
by the gods,
402
00:24:15,664 --> 00:24:18,539
and some kind of energy
present at Mount Musinč.
403
00:24:20,961 --> 00:24:24,537
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials'
knowledge of metallurgy and alchemy
404
00:24:24,631 --> 00:24:26,631
was used to create
a technologically advanced
405
00:24:26,791 --> 00:24:31,360
ancient city around
Mount Musinč, where did it go?
406
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:33,546
In the first century BC,
407
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,124
Rome conquered the area's
original inhabitants
408
00:24:37,185 --> 00:24:40,052
and established
Augusta Taurinorum,
409
00:24:40,146 --> 00:24:43,389
the colony that
eventually became Turin.
410
00:24:43,483 --> 00:24:46,651
All traces of the people
and city that came before it
411
00:24:46,811 --> 00:24:48,653
seem to have vanished.
412
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:54,158
HENRY: So the Roman Empire came
here and said, "We're gonna take
413
00:24:54,318 --> 00:24:56,219
your knowledge and secrets,
we're gonna weaponize..."
414
00:24:56,246 --> 00:24:57,370
Yeah, of course.
415
00:25:07,674 --> 00:25:09,424
So the energy is still here
in this valley.
416
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:27,775
- All right, let's go.
- Yeah.
417
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:31,345
NARRATOR:
Gnomo and William head next
418
00:25:31,406 --> 00:25:34,866
to a hill near the village
of Mompantero.
419
00:25:35,026 --> 00:25:37,943
If extraterrestrials handed
knowledge of advanced technology
420
00:25:38,038 --> 00:25:40,780
to the ancient people
of this region,
421
00:25:40,874 --> 00:25:43,690
Gnomo believes it happened here,
422
00:25:43,752 --> 00:25:45,618
and he has located evidence
to prove it.
423
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:46,794
Look at that.
424
00:25:54,888 --> 00:25:56,262
So...
425
00:26:05,065 --> 00:26:07,065
Right, so this is knowledge
way beyond
426
00:26:07,225 --> 00:26:09,216
what we normally think of the
427
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:11,736
- neolithic mind being able to grasp.
- Yeah.
428
00:26:26,795 --> 00:26:28,661
BRUCE FENTON:
Finding this triple spiral
429
00:26:28,755 --> 00:26:31,071
at Musinč
is absolutely fascinating.
430
00:26:31,132 --> 00:26:34,166
I suspect that
among its many meanings,
431
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,243
which... most of which
have to do with movement
432
00:26:36,304 --> 00:26:38,745
and energetic flow,
I suspect amongst these
433
00:26:38,807 --> 00:26:41,507
we're also being told something
about Earth energies.
434
00:26:41,601 --> 00:26:45,770
They had a knowledge
of these magnetic forces
435
00:26:45,930 --> 00:26:47,921
and these energies, you know,
something that they perhaps
436
00:26:47,982 --> 00:26:51,275
should not have known
but clearly did.
437
00:26:51,435 --> 00:26:54,779
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the
ancient people of the Susa Valley
438
00:26:54,939 --> 00:26:57,523
received knowledge
of Earth's magnetic forces
439
00:26:57,617 --> 00:26:59,617
from extraterrestrials
that were present
440
00:26:59,777 --> 00:27:01,935
in the region of Mount Musinč?
441
00:27:01,996 --> 00:27:04,864
But if a technologically
advanced city
442
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:08,033
really did once exist
in the Susa Valley,
443
00:27:08,128 --> 00:27:12,112
how is it that all evidence
of it disappeared?
444
00:27:12,173 --> 00:27:15,708
Some researchers say
remnants of this lost city
445
00:27:15,802 --> 00:27:17,877
can still be found
446
00:27:17,971 --> 00:27:20,388
in the shadow of Mount Musinč.
447
00:27:26,855 --> 00:27:29,538
NARRATOR: Deeper in the
Susa Valley of Northern Italy,
448
00:27:29,566 --> 00:27:32,799
Gnomo Orzo takes William Henry
449
00:27:32,861 --> 00:27:37,046
to a Roman archaeological site
called II Maometto.
450
00:27:37,073 --> 00:27:39,473
But what he wants to show him
451
00:27:39,534 --> 00:27:42,142
is something hidden
in the woods nearby
452
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:46,330
that predates even the earliest
identified Roman ruins.
453
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:50,209
HENRY:
Wow, Gnomo. Look at this.
454
00:27:53,006 --> 00:27:55,064
Look at this
455
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:58,401
incredible, incredible platform.
456
00:27:58,428 --> 00:28:00,252
Yeah, huge wheels,
457
00:28:00,346 --> 00:28:05,074
uh, surrounded by a lot
of very ancient walls.
458
00:28:05,101 --> 00:28:08,168
HENRY: You know, I've seen
something like this before in Egypt,
459
00:28:08,229 --> 00:28:09,595
at Abu Gorab,
460
00:28:09,689 --> 00:28:12,248
wheels just like this
on this massive platform.
461
00:28:12,275 --> 00:28:16,602
Quartz crystal embedded.
It's like a landing platform.
462
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:18,178
ORZO:
Yeah.
463
00:28:18,239 --> 00:28:21,424
NARRATOR:
Approximately ten miles south of Cairo,
464
00:28:21,451 --> 00:28:23,850
the ancient site of Abu Gorab
465
00:28:23,912 --> 00:28:27,705
contains massive circular
alabaster platforms.
466
00:28:27,865 --> 00:28:30,599
Local tradition holds
that this site
467
00:28:30,627 --> 00:28:34,103
is one of the oldest
ceremonial centers on the planet
468
00:28:34,130 --> 00:28:37,790
and that the alabaster platforms
created a harmonic resonance
469
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,551
through sound vibrations
to open the senses
470
00:28:40,711 --> 00:28:43,888
to communicate
with divine energies.
471
00:28:44,048 --> 00:28:48,617
When I came upon this platform
in the middle of this forest,
472
00:28:48,645 --> 00:28:50,135
it took me back to Egypt
473
00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:52,455
where you see massive
stone altars like this,
474
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:54,881
for example, at Abu Gorab,
475
00:28:54,943 --> 00:28:58,903
that have exactly the same
stone wheels in the center,
476
00:28:59,063 --> 00:29:02,055
and I'm thinking, this proves
the Egyptian connection, too.
477
00:29:02,116 --> 00:29:04,909
This is a-a common
symbolic element
478
00:29:05,069 --> 00:29:07,636
that almost always connects
with extraterrestrials.
479
00:29:07,664 --> 00:29:09,896
NARRATOR:
For William Henry,
480
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:13,642
the wheels also present
another intriguing possibility.
481
00:29:13,670 --> 00:29:16,903
He believes that they may have
been made to commemorate
482
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:20,165
the foundational story
of the city of Turin,
483
00:29:20,260 --> 00:29:22,576
in which it is said
that an otherworldly being
484
00:29:22,637 --> 00:29:24,153
called Phaethon
485
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:28,157
descended from the sky
in a fiery chariot.
486
00:29:28,184 --> 00:29:31,327
In the story, the craft
in which he descends to Earth
487
00:29:31,354 --> 00:29:34,087
is described as having wheels,
488
00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:36,499
but it is also said
that he brought with him
489
00:29:36,526 --> 00:29:39,502
so-called "wheels of knowledge."
490
00:29:39,529 --> 00:29:42,021
The myth tells us that there was
491
00:29:42,115 --> 00:29:44,857
some kind of a craft
that came into this area,
492
00:29:44,951 --> 00:29:48,268
and they describe wheels
that Phaethon left,
493
00:29:48,329 --> 00:29:50,270
wheels of knowledge.
494
00:29:50,331 --> 00:29:52,014
Is that what we have here?
495
00:29:52,041 --> 00:29:56,627
Wheels that match what we saw
with the spirals on the rock
496
00:29:56,787 --> 00:29:58,296
of this extraordinary knowledge
497
00:29:58,456 --> 00:30:01,281
encoding the secrets
of light itself.
498
00:30:01,342 --> 00:30:03,467
- It's an incredible mystery.
- It's the incredible mystery.
499
00:30:03,627 --> 00:30:08,531
Right away I think of the golden
wheels of the-the solar discs
500
00:30:08,558 --> 00:30:10,641
in the Aztec and Inca cultures.
501
00:30:10,801 --> 00:30:14,887
We know that
they were great circles,
502
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:17,130
and that on them
would be engraved
503
00:30:17,191 --> 00:30:19,299
all sorts of knowledge,
all sorts of information,
504
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,211
astronomy, and other
mythology being coded
505
00:30:22,238 --> 00:30:23,896
into the surface of the disc.
506
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:26,473
Now, could it be that
at Musinč we have
507
00:30:26,534 --> 00:30:28,159
exactly the same thing
happening,
508
00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:30,661
that we have
this great golden wheel
509
00:30:30,821 --> 00:30:33,164
upon which is
all of this information?
510
00:30:33,324 --> 00:30:37,409
NARRATOR: Might the ancient wheels
carved into the rock at II Maometto
511
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:40,987
be just the tip
of an historical iceberg?
512
00:30:41,049 --> 00:30:45,901
A sign of the lost ancient city
buried beneath the ground?
513
00:30:45,928 --> 00:30:48,087
We enter into this valley where,
514
00:30:48,181 --> 00:30:49,996
what do we find,
these ancient myths
515
00:30:50,058 --> 00:30:51,998
of a civilization
516
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:54,518
that might have had
some extraordinary knowledge
517
00:30:54,678 --> 00:30:56,687
that they're trying to protect,
518
00:30:56,847 --> 00:30:59,023
and we come into here
and look at these walls,
519
00:30:59,183 --> 00:31:00,816
more ancient than ancient Rome.
520
00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:10,943
Yeah.
521
00:31:11,037 --> 00:31:14,096
HENRY:
We've seen Val Camonica
522
00:31:14,123 --> 00:31:17,375
with these incredible depictions
of spacemen on the rocks.
523
00:31:17,535 --> 00:31:22,028
Thousands of years old.
Absolutely amazing.
524
00:31:22,090 --> 00:31:25,699
Then we come through
the gates of Musinč,
525
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,776
where Constantine saw
this flash of light,
526
00:31:27,804 --> 00:31:29,536
the heavens open.
527
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:33,891
And across the valley
we have Sacra San Michele,
528
00:31:34,051 --> 00:31:36,285
where the monk saw
the light as well.
529
00:31:36,312 --> 00:31:39,121
Extraordinary complex there.
530
00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,957
It's telling us that there was
contact in the ancient world
531
00:31:41,984 --> 00:31:43,642
at this place.
532
00:31:43,736 --> 00:31:46,737
For some reason people have been
coming into this valley.
533
00:31:46,897 --> 00:31:48,572
They're attracted
by something here,
534
00:31:48,732 --> 00:31:52,484
for a very long time,
and talking about
535
00:31:52,578 --> 00:31:53,894
these amazing mysteries
and knowledge.
536
00:31:53,955 --> 00:31:55,287
Yeah, like...
537
00:32:07,427 --> 00:32:09,075
There is so much more here
to investigate
538
00:32:09,137 --> 00:32:10,761
than I ever imagined.
539
00:32:10,921 --> 00:32:15,991
NARRATOR: Ancient visitors
sharing the secrets of metallurgy?
540
00:32:16,018 --> 00:32:18,010
Tales of a lost civilization
541
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:21,272
that once held
advanced knowledge?
542
00:32:21,432 --> 00:32:26,335
And ruins still waiting to be
identified in the Susa Valley?
543
00:32:26,362 --> 00:32:30,522
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
544
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:34,193
the area of Mount Musinč
provides overwhelming evidence
545
00:32:34,287 --> 00:32:38,122
that extraterrestrials were
once present here.
546
00:32:38,282 --> 00:32:41,608
But if these otherworldly
visitors helped to establish
547
00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:45,445
a technologically advanced
civilization in the Susa Valley,
548
00:32:45,506 --> 00:32:47,280
what happened to it?
549
00:32:47,341 --> 00:32:50,876
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues
550
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:53,862
might be found by examining
strange encounters
551
00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:55,698
that have occurred
on Mount Musinč
552
00:32:55,725 --> 00:32:58,383
in more recent times.
553
00:32:58,478 --> 00:33:00,703
And they point
to the possibility
554
00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:03,397
that the lost city still exists.
555
00:33:09,655 --> 00:33:13,449
NARRATOR:
Northern Italy, 1933.
556
00:33:15,578 --> 00:33:18,144
With the threat of war
casting an ominous shadow
557
00:33:18,206 --> 00:33:19,738
across Europe,
558
00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:22,725
an incredible series
of events unfolds,
559
00:33:22,752 --> 00:33:25,336
all under the supervision
of one of history's
560
00:33:25,496 --> 00:33:28,397
most powerful
and feared leaders,
561
00:33:28,424 --> 00:33:31,750
Benito Mussolini.
562
00:33:31,844 --> 00:33:36,905
In 1933, it's claimed
that a UFO crashed
563
00:33:36,933 --> 00:33:39,499
in the Lombardy region of Italy.
564
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,580
This was apparently an object
around 50 feet in diameter,
565
00:33:44,607 --> 00:33:48,008
like two saucers
joined together.
566
00:33:48,069 --> 00:33:52,588
It was described as being
grayish in color, and metallic.
567
00:33:52,615 --> 00:33:56,534
And apparently it was then taken
by the military
568
00:33:56,694 --> 00:33:59,686
and studied
on the personal orders
569
00:33:59,747 --> 00:34:03,457
of the then-dictator
Benito Mussolini.
570
00:34:05,536 --> 00:34:08,437
NARRATOR: According to some accounts,
the UFO crashed
571
00:34:08,464 --> 00:34:10,196
near the city of Magenta,
572
00:34:10,258 --> 00:34:13,700
just 80 miles northeast
of Mount Musinč.
573
00:34:13,761 --> 00:34:16,945
The craft was found
to be unoccupied,
574
00:34:16,973 --> 00:34:21,016
and unlocking its secrets
became a top priority.
575
00:34:22,812 --> 00:34:26,546
This flying saucer was something
that the Mussolini government
576
00:34:26,607 --> 00:34:28,399
took a lot of interest in.
577
00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:31,627
And so there was
an establishment
578
00:34:31,654 --> 00:34:35,814
of a group of experts
to study this phenomenon.
579
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:38,483
To study exactly
what it involved, who made it.
580
00:34:38,578 --> 00:34:43,472
And this committee
was called RS/33.
581
00:34:43,499 --> 00:34:46,250
NARRATOR: To lead the committee,
it is said that
582
00:34:46,410 --> 00:34:48,811
Mussolini enlisted
the noted engineer
583
00:34:48,838 --> 00:34:53,406
and famed inventor
of the radio, Guglielmo Marconi.
584
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:55,742
Mussolini said,
"Find out what it is,
585
00:34:55,803 --> 00:34:58,411
and because it seems to be
so advanced, build one."
586
00:34:58,472 --> 00:35:01,247
And Marconi apparently said,
"Well, we can't.
587
00:35:01,309 --> 00:35:03,100
"We can't figure it out.
588
00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:06,161
"There is a technology here
over and above
589
00:35:06,188 --> 00:35:08,513
anything we possess."
590
00:35:08,608 --> 00:35:13,335
And that only left
the conclusion that this,
591
00:35:13,362 --> 00:35:15,003
for want of a better term, was
592
00:35:15,031 --> 00:35:17,364
an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
593
00:35:19,943 --> 00:35:23,178
NARRATOR: Was a crashed
extraterrestrial craft really recovered
594
00:35:23,205 --> 00:35:26,373
by the Italian government
in 1933?
595
00:35:27,785 --> 00:35:30,369
And if so,
is it merely coincidence
596
00:35:30,463 --> 00:35:33,856
that it happened so close
to Mount Musinč?
597
00:35:33,883 --> 00:35:37,359
Let's just suppose
that the common thread here
598
00:35:37,386 --> 00:35:39,762
is actually Earth energies...
599
00:35:40,973 --> 00:35:43,623
...which the UFOs know about
600
00:35:43,684 --> 00:35:46,626
and use, perhaps,
601
00:35:46,687 --> 00:35:49,462
to draw the energy
that they need.
602
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:54,209
So, might we be dealing
with not just visitation
603
00:35:54,236 --> 00:35:57,137
but a more permanent facility?
604
00:35:57,198 --> 00:35:59,731
MARTELL: So, when we look
at Mount Musinč and this energy,
605
00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:01,158
we wonder if there isn't
something happening
606
00:36:01,318 --> 00:36:02,976
below ground as well.
607
00:36:03,037 --> 00:36:05,287
Could this be a location
of some type of secret base?
608
00:36:07,157 --> 00:36:09,315
NARRATOR:
A secret alien base?
609
00:36:09,377 --> 00:36:12,744
Could this be the reason why
so many strange events
610
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:15,989
have been reported
in this area for centuries?
611
00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:18,233
And might it also explain
what happened
612
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:20,160
to the lost city?
613
00:36:20,221 --> 00:36:24,423
Does it still exist
inside the mountain?
614
00:36:24,517 --> 00:36:27,926
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
615
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:31,337
the most compelling
evidence of all may be found
616
00:36:31,399 --> 00:36:33,432
by examining an incident
that happened
617
00:36:33,526 --> 00:36:36,777
not above Mount Musinč
but on its slopes.
618
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,866
December 8, 1978.
619
00:36:43,026 --> 00:36:45,685
Two hikers are on Mount Musinč
620
00:36:45,746 --> 00:36:48,280
when they witness a strong
and blinding light
621
00:36:48,374 --> 00:36:51,024
that seems to envelop
the mountain summit.
622
00:36:51,085 --> 00:36:54,545
Curious, one of the men
approaches the light
623
00:36:54,705 --> 00:36:58,382
and vanishes into thin air.
624
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:00,776
When he turns up again,
625
00:37:00,803 --> 00:37:05,872
he is dazed, confused,
he's apparently in shock.
626
00:37:05,933 --> 00:37:08,283
He has a scalded leg.
627
00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:11,803
And when he comes around,
he relays this account
628
00:37:11,897 --> 00:37:16,358
of how he was taken on board
this craft.
629
00:37:17,879 --> 00:37:21,313
NARRATOR: Immediately
following this terrifying ordeal,
630
00:37:21,407 --> 00:37:23,465
both hikers come down
with a sever case
631
00:37:23,492 --> 00:37:26,893
of conjunctivitis,
an inflammation or infection
632
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:29,154
of the membrane
that lines the eyelid
633
00:37:29,248 --> 00:37:31,564
and covers the whites
of the eyes.
634
00:37:31,625 --> 00:37:37,145
So it would seem that they were
in contact with some kind
635
00:37:37,173 --> 00:37:39,498
of radiation that ultimately
affected their health,
636
00:37:39,592 --> 00:37:41,316
in a sense.
637
00:37:41,343 --> 00:37:44,653
And this is a story that occurs
over and over again
638
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,597
in UFO lore.
639
00:37:46,757 --> 00:37:50,768
POPE: When we look at this incident
and some of the previous ones,
640
00:37:50,928 --> 00:37:52,269
what are the themes?
641
00:37:52,429 --> 00:37:55,421
Fire in the sky.
Energy.
642
00:37:55,483 --> 00:37:58,258
Scalding. Burning.
643
00:37:58,319 --> 00:38:00,760
It's all about power.
644
00:38:00,821 --> 00:38:04,856
Are these sightings being caused
because there are, perhaps,
645
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:07,843
underground facilities, bases?
646
00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:11,604
And if that's true,
maybe it's not just one base
647
00:38:11,665 --> 00:38:15,250
but a network of bases
in that area.
648
00:38:17,046 --> 00:38:19,279
NARRATOR:
If extraterrestrials have remained on Earth
649
00:38:19,340 --> 00:38:21,206
for thousands of years,
650
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,708
secretly operating from bases
651
00:38:23,803 --> 00:38:26,452
hidden throughout Italy's
Susa Valley,
652
00:38:26,514 --> 00:38:28,621
why haven't they left?
653
00:38:28,682 --> 00:38:32,458
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe that the most recent
654
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,312
activity to be reported
on Mount Musinč may suggest
655
00:38:35,472 --> 00:38:39,233
that the answer
will soon be revealed.
656
00:38:46,033 --> 00:38:50,218
Corio, Italy, 20 miles north
of Mount Musinč.
657
00:38:50,246 --> 00:38:54,814
June 6, 2018.
658
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:58,985
At 11:00 p.m., the residents
of this small town
659
00:38:59,046 --> 00:39:03,323
are startled by the sight
of two F-16 fighter jets.
660
00:39:03,384 --> 00:39:06,751
They appear to be in pursuit
of a giant orb of light
661
00:39:06,846 --> 00:39:10,255
passing rapidly overhead
in the night sky.
662
00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:13,183
Government officials
later claim that the object
663
00:39:13,343 --> 00:39:15,427
was nothing more than a drone.
664
00:39:15,521 --> 00:39:18,504
But the local townspeople
who witnessed the craft
665
00:39:18,566 --> 00:39:22,601
claimed that it appeared to be
nearly 200 feet in diameter,
666
00:39:22,695 --> 00:39:26,104
and that the low-flying jets
were chasing the object
667
00:39:26,198 --> 00:39:30,926
at such extreme velocity,
it shook their windows.
668
00:39:30,953 --> 00:39:35,355
POPE: So, again,
this sighting has to be fit in
669
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:37,541
with all these other pieces
of the puzzle.
670
00:39:37,701 --> 00:39:40,693
All these other sightings
over the years
671
00:39:40,754 --> 00:39:42,713
in this exact same area,
672
00:39:42,873 --> 00:39:46,032
right back from the day
of Constantine
673
00:39:46,093 --> 00:39:50,795
through to the Italian Air Force
chasing UFOs.
674
00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:53,448
Of all the hundreds
of UFO conferences
675
00:39:53,475 --> 00:39:55,300
I've attended over the years,
676
00:39:55,394 --> 00:39:58,562
I've only ever once been to one
677
00:39:58,722 --> 00:40:01,881
where a delegation
of military officers
678
00:40:01,942 --> 00:40:04,976
have arrived in uniform
679
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:07,646
and actually given
a presentation.
680
00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:11,299
That conference took place
in San Marino,
681
00:40:11,327 --> 00:40:14,302
and the officers were
from the Italian Air Force.
682
00:40:14,330 --> 00:40:18,916
There's something about
this area that's important,
683
00:40:19,076 --> 00:40:22,169
but we don't know
what it is yet.
684
00:40:25,132 --> 00:40:27,666
When we try to come
to a conclusion or a summation
685
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,077
about what is going on in Italy,
686
00:40:31,138 --> 00:40:34,580
going back from prehistoric
times to modern times,
687
00:40:34,642 --> 00:40:39,102
the common element is: the gods
came to this very specific place
688
00:40:39,262 --> 00:40:42,330
because of something
at Mount Musinč.
689
00:40:42,358 --> 00:40:44,015
Something either in the mountain
690
00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:46,759
or something that was
placed there by them.
691
00:40:46,820 --> 00:40:50,188
NARRATOR:
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe
692
00:40:50,282 --> 00:40:52,524
that it is not just
Mount Musinč,
693
00:40:52,618 --> 00:40:55,026
but also Mount Pirchiriano,
694
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,862
where the Sacra di San Michele
was erected,
695
00:40:57,957 --> 00:41:00,699
and other peaks throughout
the Italian Alps
696
00:41:00,793 --> 00:41:04,186
that are hiding secret
alien bases.
697
00:41:04,213 --> 00:41:08,966
CHILDRESS: Perhaps these mountains
are like outposts or embassies
698
00:41:09,126 --> 00:41:11,301
where the extraterrestrials
are active,
699
00:41:11,461 --> 00:41:12,970
they have their technology.
700
00:41:13,130 --> 00:41:15,138
Craft are coming and going
701
00:41:15,298 --> 00:41:18,366
from these secret
mountain bases.
702
00:41:18,394 --> 00:41:21,036
And part of their agenda is
to contact people,
703
00:41:21,063 --> 00:41:23,205
to influence them.
704
00:41:23,232 --> 00:41:26,725
So this is, perhaps,
what these mountains are about.
705
00:41:26,819 --> 00:41:30,212
This is why these incredible
legends and myths
706
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,322
are associated with them.
707
00:41:32,482 --> 00:41:35,567
NARRATOR: Have extraterrestrials
been hiding out in the mountains
708
00:41:35,661 --> 00:41:38,495
of Northern Italy for hundreds
709
00:41:38,655 --> 00:41:41,981
and perhaps even thousands
of years?
710
00:41:42,042 --> 00:41:45,910
Is this the location
of an alien embassy on Earth,
711
00:41:46,005 --> 00:41:47,820
known to high ranking
government officials
712
00:41:47,881 --> 00:41:50,065
throughout the world?
713
00:41:50,092 --> 00:41:53,659
Perhaps the mysterious carvings
found in Val Camonica
714
00:41:53,721 --> 00:41:57,014
represent not only visitors
who came to Earth
715
00:41:57,174 --> 00:41:58,831
in the distant past,
716
00:41:58,892 --> 00:42:00,759
but who are still here,
717
00:42:00,853 --> 00:42:04,763
preparing to reconnect
with humanity once again.
