1
00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,792
NARRATOR:
Shadowy figures
appear in the night,
2
00:00:03,875 --> 00:00:06,833
terrifying all
who encounter them.
3
00:00:06,917 --> 00:00:08,250
I don't even know
how to describe
4
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:09,917
-that level of fear...
-(gasps)
5
00:00:10,042 --> 00:00:12,667
...because it was this big,
hulking black mass.
6
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:15,333
NARRATOR:
They paralyze their prey.
7
00:00:15,458 --> 00:00:18,458
It was like being chained
to the bottom of the ocean.
8
00:00:18,542 --> 00:00:21,333
You can't move,
you can't breathe.
9
00:00:21,417 --> 00:00:23,125
NARRATOR:
And according to some,
10
00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:27,167
they are not only frightening
but deadly.
11
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:28,833
DAVID CHILDRESS:
They explained it as
12
00:00:28,917 --> 00:00:32,375
these shadow entities
were killing them.
13
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:33,750
(sustained beep)
14
00:00:33,875 --> 00:00:35,167
NARRATOR:
Could dark entities
15
00:00:35,292 --> 00:00:37,333
known as the shadow people
16
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:41,458
be more than just a product
of the imagination?
17
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:44,500
Are there beings coming to Earth
from other worlds
18
00:00:44,625 --> 00:00:47,833
or other dimensions,
with malicious intentions
19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,833
for the human race?
20
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:51,000
JONATHAN YOUNG:
It seems menacing,
21
00:00:51,125 --> 00:00:54,333
it seems from another place.
22
00:00:54,458 --> 00:00:56,417
It's a mystery,
but it's a mystery
23
00:00:56,542 --> 00:00:59,500
that a lot of people
are encountering.
24
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,083
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
in the universe.
25
00:01:07,042 --> 00:01:10,083
Beyond it
is the promise of truth.
26
00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:13,792
It demands
we question everything
27
00:01:13,875 --> 00:01:16,000
we have ever been taught.
28
00:01:16,125 --> 00:01:19,500
The evidence is all around us.
29
00:01:19,583 --> 00:01:23,625
The future is right
before our eyes.
30
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,500
We are not alone.
31
00:01:26,667 --> 00:01:29,708
We have never been alone.
32
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:39,833
Vientiane, Laos.
33
00:01:39,917 --> 00:01:43,208
December 2, 1975.
34
00:01:44,208 --> 00:01:46,500
In the wake of the Vietnam War,
35
00:01:46,625 --> 00:01:50,167
the Hmong people,
a group of indigenous Laotians,
36
00:01:50,292 --> 00:01:52,458
are forced to flee their country
37
00:01:52,542 --> 00:01:55,833
as the Communist Party
seizes political control.
38
00:01:55,958 --> 00:01:58,333
Thousands of displaced
Hmong people
39
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:00,667
immigrate to the United States.
40
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:03,708
But as they become settled
in their new communities,
41
00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:08,167
they face an unexpected
and much more mysterious threat.
42
00:02:09,875 --> 00:02:14,125
There was a very strange rash
of deaths of Hmong men
43
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:17,167
who suddenly died
in their sleep.
44
00:02:17,292 --> 00:02:20,208
And medical technicians
could find no reason
45
00:02:20,333 --> 00:02:23,667
for these strange deaths.
46
00:02:23,792 --> 00:02:25,833
If you look at the statistics,
47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,833
suddenly, when the Hmong people
arrived in the United States,
48
00:02:28,958 --> 00:02:33,208
their death rates skied. Why?
49
00:02:33,375 --> 00:02:36,000
Nobody knows why, because
they didn't have any symptoms.
50
00:02:36,125 --> 00:02:38,292
They just died.
51
00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:40,833
NARRATOR:
After numerous
inconclusive autopsies,
52
00:02:40,958 --> 00:02:44,750
mystified doctors were unable
to find a cause of death
53
00:02:44,875 --> 00:02:47,667
but gave the phenomenon a name:
54
00:02:47,792 --> 00:02:51,625
"sudden unexpected
nocturnal death syndrome."
55
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:56,250
All but one of the 117 men
who died were in good health,
56
00:02:56,375 --> 00:02:59,667
with a median age of 33.
57
00:02:59,792 --> 00:03:02,833
So, while some doctors
now speculate that the deaths
58
00:03:02,958 --> 00:03:07,208
might be explained by an obscure
genetic cardiac arrhythmia,
59
00:03:07,375 --> 00:03:11,833
the Hmong believe
there is another explanation.
60
00:03:11,917 --> 00:03:15,167
Modern medical science
could not explain these deaths.
61
00:03:16,375 --> 00:03:18,417
But among the Hmong,
they knew it was because
62
00:03:18,542 --> 00:03:21,958
they couldn't practice
their original religion.
63
00:03:22,042 --> 00:03:25,250
In Laos, there is a belief
that there are night spirits
64
00:03:25,375 --> 00:03:27,417
that are dangerous, but if you
have done your rituals,
65
00:03:27,542 --> 00:03:29,333
your prayers, your ceremonies,
66
00:03:29,458 --> 00:03:31,833
and have your ceremonial objects
near your bed, you're fine.
67
00:03:31,917 --> 00:03:34,333
It's all under control,
when you're in Laos.
68
00:03:34,417 --> 00:03:36,000
But when you're brought
to another country
69
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,167
and you're working
odd shifts and things,
70
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:40,292
maybe your rituals
get a little off.
71
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:42,667
So you're in trouble
and the night spirits get you
72
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:44,667
and you die,
which is just so strange.
73
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,458
I mean, these are night spirits.
They're-- that's superstition,
74
00:03:47,583 --> 00:03:48,667
but they died.
75
00:03:48,792 --> 00:03:49,875
The deaths are real.
76
00:03:51,375 --> 00:03:52,792
NARRATOR:
These shadowy night spirits
77
00:03:52,917 --> 00:03:56,500
are known by the Hmong people
as "cho chua"
78
00:03:56,625 --> 00:03:59,292
and are often described
as "pressure demons."
79
00:03:59,375 --> 00:04:02,083
That is,
demons that exert pressure
80
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:04,417
by sitting
on their victims' chests
81
00:04:04,542 --> 00:04:06,875
until they can
no longer breathe.
82
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,542
The Hmong people talked about
some of the symptoms
83
00:04:09,708 --> 00:04:14,042
they experienced,
not just nightmares but visions,
84
00:04:14,167 --> 00:04:17,500
and a terrible pressure
on their bodies,
85
00:04:17,625 --> 00:04:22,000
because their ancestral spirits
were no longer protecting them.
86
00:04:22,125 --> 00:04:24,250
The Hmong themselves
explained it
87
00:04:24,375 --> 00:04:30,542
as these shadow entities
were killing and punishing them
88
00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:34,250
for not having done
their rituals correctly.
89
00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,833
HENRY:
The reason why we know
that they believed
90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,708
they were dying from this
is because medical experts,
91
00:04:39,875 --> 00:04:41,333
researchers talked
with the family members
92
00:04:41,417 --> 00:04:43,625
and that's what they said.
93
00:04:44,875 --> 00:04:46,125
NARRATOR:
The Hmong people's description
94
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:47,542
of their interaction
95
00:04:47,708 --> 00:04:49,875
with the pressure demons
known as cho chua
96
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,750
bears a striking resemblance
97
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:54,458
to what ancient astronaut
theorists describe
98
00:04:54,583 --> 00:04:58,500
as mysterious entities
called shadow people.
99
00:04:58,583 --> 00:05:00,417
An extraordinary experience
has been reported
100
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:02,667
by thousands
of people worldwide.
101
00:05:02,833 --> 00:05:05,958
They're asleep,
suddenly they wake up,
102
00:05:06,042 --> 00:05:09,625
and there's this dark
humanoid figure that's opaque.
103
00:05:09,708 --> 00:05:12,417
It appears to be made
of some ethereal substance
104
00:05:12,542 --> 00:05:15,667
that reflects no light.
105
00:05:15,833 --> 00:05:19,500
MIKE RICKSECKER:
Shadow entities can be
a lot of different things.
106
00:05:19,625 --> 00:05:22,667
But in general, what we see
with these shadow entities
107
00:05:22,792 --> 00:05:26,583
are some common traits,
such as no facial features.
108
00:05:26,708 --> 00:05:28,708
Everything is black
and dark in nature.
109
00:05:28,833 --> 00:05:31,542
Some may be very solid,
some may be very translucent,
110
00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:33,542
but we're not getting
any detail.
111
00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:36,625
NARRATOR:
Due to their shadowy nature,
112
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:39,167
experiencers have difficulty
making sense
113
00:05:39,292 --> 00:05:42,250
of just what these entities are.
114
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:47,500
But for most, the encounters
are terrifyingly real.
115
00:05:49,375 --> 00:05:52,000
Los Angeles, California.
116
00:05:52,167 --> 00:05:55,833
February 2011.
117
00:05:55,917 --> 00:05:58,250
On a quiet night,
118
00:05:58,375 --> 00:06:01,042
journalist Paul Christensen
is asleep in bed
119
00:06:01,167 --> 00:06:04,208
when suddenly, he's jolted awake
120
00:06:04,375 --> 00:06:08,000
by a jarring physical sensation.
121
00:06:08,083 --> 00:06:11,667
It was like being chained
to the bottom of the ocean.
122
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:14,167
You can't move,
you can't breathe.
123
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:18,792
You open your eyes, and there is
a presence in the room with you.
124
00:06:18,917 --> 00:06:21,542
You can't make out
who it is, what it is.
125
00:06:22,542 --> 00:06:24,042
It looks like...
126
00:06:24,167 --> 00:06:26,833
just a dark entity.
127
00:06:27,875 --> 00:06:29,333
The air behind them--
128
00:06:29,458 --> 00:06:30,583
I don't know
how to describe this--
129
00:06:30,708 --> 00:06:33,833
it's kind of fuzzy,
it's kind of moving.
130
00:06:35,083 --> 00:06:36,917
And then I was just trying
131
00:06:37,042 --> 00:06:40,417
to make something move
or come out of me,
132
00:06:40,542 --> 00:06:43,333
and it ended in just
the most bloodcurdling scream
133
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,333
that I could get
out of my mouth.
134
00:06:45,458 --> 00:06:48,417
-(screams)
-As soon as I screamed,
135
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:50,333
my girlfriend that was
laying next to me woke up,
136
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,375
and I turned the light on...
137
00:06:53,375 --> 00:06:55,583
...and it was gone.
138
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:59,833
NARRATOR:
Paul is uncertain how long
the encounter lasted,
139
00:06:59,917 --> 00:07:02,292
but it was only
the first of several
140
00:07:02,375 --> 00:07:05,500
that would take place
over the next five years.
141
00:07:05,667 --> 00:07:09,458
Each left him paralyzed
with fear.
142
00:07:09,542 --> 00:07:11,500
CHRISTENSEN:
At the time
these were happening,
143
00:07:11,625 --> 00:07:13,375
I was frightened for my life.
144
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,667
Part of me feels like
145
00:07:15,833 --> 00:07:19,500
there's some kind
of demonic presence around them.
146
00:07:19,625 --> 00:07:22,500
I've never felt that they were
there for good intentions.
147
00:07:22,625 --> 00:07:25,917
It's always come with
a heavy feeling of darkness...
148
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,417
...that they were there
for something
149
00:07:29,542 --> 00:07:31,958
other than anything good.
150
00:07:33,333 --> 00:07:35,833
NARRATOR:
While Paul's encounters
with shadowy beings
151
00:07:35,917 --> 00:07:39,000
have left him frightened
and desperate for answers,
152
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,667
his experience is not unique.
153
00:07:41,792 --> 00:07:47,042
In 2001, author Heidi Hollis
released The Secret War,
154
00:07:47,167 --> 00:07:50,708
in which she shared
her own startling experiences
155
00:07:50,833 --> 00:07:53,583
with entities
she called shadow people.
156
00:07:55,083 --> 00:07:57,333
HEIDI HOLLIS:
I don't even know how
to describe that level of fear,
157
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:00,125
because it was absolutely
hulking over me.
158
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:04,167
And this started
my whole journey
159
00:08:04,292 --> 00:08:06,667
into the topic of shadow people.
160
00:08:06,833 --> 00:08:08,750
I'm a person that's not afraid
161
00:08:08,875 --> 00:08:11,000
to say I've experienced
something.
162
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:14,125
I'm like, bring it out into the
light, and let's talk about it.
163
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:19,917
From the start, when I finally
got the book published in 2001,
164
00:08:20,042 --> 00:08:23,542
thousands of people
from around the world,
165
00:08:23,708 --> 00:08:27,958
from priests to schoolteachers,
have written me seeking help.
166
00:08:28,042 --> 00:08:31,333
So my goal is to try
to help people to understand
167
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:33,292
that you can keep
these things at bay.
168
00:08:33,375 --> 00:08:35,667
NARRATOR:
According to Heidi's research
169
00:08:35,792 --> 00:08:38,167
collecting and studying
people's encounters,
170
00:08:38,333 --> 00:08:40,542
these dark entities can appear
171
00:08:40,708 --> 00:08:43,833
as various shapes and figures.
172
00:08:43,958 --> 00:08:47,875
The experiences that I receive
often involve a person
173
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,875
waking up, and they feel
a presence is in the room.
174
00:08:52,042 --> 00:08:54,417
And if they spot it,
175
00:08:54,542 --> 00:08:58,333
the thing comes even closer
and pins them down,
176
00:08:58,458 --> 00:09:00,833
and they're paralyzed.
177
00:09:00,958 --> 00:09:03,292
They often come at nighttime
because your guard is down,
178
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:05,625
so they're
taking advantage of you
179
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:07,917
when you're not at your best.
180
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:10,958
So, they're sneaky,
they're deceptive,
181
00:09:11,083 --> 00:09:13,333
and they evoke
a lot of horrific things
182
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,958
into people's lives.
183
00:09:16,042 --> 00:09:19,708
NARRATOR:
The dark, humanoid appearance
of shadow beings
184
00:09:19,833 --> 00:09:23,833
has caused some to identify them
as apparitions or ghosts.
185
00:09:23,958 --> 00:09:27,292
But many researchers believe
the shadow people
186
00:09:27,417 --> 00:09:30,208
are a much different type
of entity.
187
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:34,000
A ghost is a human spirit
188
00:09:34,125 --> 00:09:36,333
that is taking some sort
of corporeal form.
189
00:09:36,417 --> 00:09:40,167
With a ghost, we get a lot
of detail in the apparition.
190
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:42,000
We can see facial features.
191
00:09:42,167 --> 00:09:45,750
We can see clothing.
We can see details in the hair.
192
00:09:45,875 --> 00:09:48,333
Where with shadow entities,
we get almost nothing.
193
00:09:49,542 --> 00:09:51,333
NARRATOR:
While many psychologists
194
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:53,792
continue to dismiss
the phenomenon
195
00:09:53,917 --> 00:09:55,792
as a symptom of sleep paralysis,
196
00:09:55,875 --> 00:09:59,542
researchers point out
that people have reported
197
00:09:59,667 --> 00:10:03,333
encounters that happened
when they were wide awake.
198
00:10:03,458 --> 00:10:06,208
In my own personal experience
with the shadow people,
199
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:08,875
I was getting ready to go
to sleep, sitting up in bed,
200
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
and all of a sudden,
this black humanoid figure
201
00:10:12,083 --> 00:10:15,500
enters into the room,
walks across the room.
202
00:10:15,625 --> 00:10:18,417
I follow it and watch it,
and it just vanishes.
203
00:10:18,542 --> 00:10:20,833
I didn't experience any fear.
204
00:10:20,917 --> 00:10:22,833
I was totally perplexed
by what I've seen
205
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,083
and thought,
"Wow, what was that?"
206
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,667
HOLLIS:
Believe it or not,
207
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:29,833
the first shadow people
experience that I had
208
00:10:29,917 --> 00:10:32,458
was witnessing it following
another friend of mine
209
00:10:32,542 --> 00:10:34,125
in broad daylight.
210
00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:37,458
And I saw this entity,
this big, hulking black mass--
211
00:10:37,583 --> 00:10:39,042
it kind of looks like a man
212
00:10:39,167 --> 00:10:41,333
with its head directly connected
to its shoulders--
213
00:10:41,417 --> 00:10:43,042
going tree to tree
214
00:10:43,167 --> 00:10:45,583
and bush to bush
as we're walking along.
215
00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:48,542
And I was just beside myself.
216
00:10:48,708 --> 00:10:50,833
The whole way that we go,
we see this thing.
217
00:10:50,958 --> 00:10:53,500
I really thought, you know,
I just witnessed
218
00:10:53,625 --> 00:10:56,583
one crazy thing,
and that was it.
219
00:10:56,708 --> 00:10:59,208
I trust myself, and I know
what it is I experienced,
220
00:10:59,333 --> 00:11:01,083
and I know what was going on.
221
00:11:01,208 --> 00:11:04,792
NARRATOR:
If the so-called shadow people
are not merely
222
00:11:04,917 --> 00:11:07,750
a trick of the mind
but very real
223
00:11:07,875 --> 00:11:10,583
and possibly dangerous entities,
224
00:11:10,708 --> 00:11:12,667
what exactly are they?
225
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:15,208
Perhaps further clues
can be found
226
00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:16,875
by examining similar accounts
227
00:11:17,042 --> 00:11:21,417
that were recorded
thousands of years ago.
228
00:11:28,583 --> 00:11:30,125
NARRATOR:
Choctaw Nation, Oklahoma.
229
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:32,167
This nearly
seven-million-acre territory
230
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:35,500
is home to Native people
who have occupied North America
231
00:11:35,625 --> 00:11:38,333
for more than 4,000 years.
232
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:41,875
The Choctaw continue to carry on
the centuries-old traditions
233
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,125
of their ancestors to this day.
234
00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:48,667
And one story
that continues to loom large
235
00:11:48,792 --> 00:11:51,167
is that of the Nalusa Chito,
236
00:11:51,250 --> 00:11:55,625
which the Choctaw describe
as a shadow being.
237
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:57,667
This Nalusa Chito
238
00:11:57,750 --> 00:12:01,333
is a demonic entity.
239
00:12:02,625 --> 00:12:06,667
And the Choctaw believe that if
you're having bad thoughts,
240
00:12:06,750 --> 00:12:10,500
that this will attract
the Nalusa Chito to you.
241
00:12:10,625 --> 00:12:12,583
YOUNG:
The Nalusa Chito
242
00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:15,333
would get you
by creeping inside you
243
00:12:15,458 --> 00:12:17,667
and eating your soul.
244
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:20,625
The Choctaw were so afraid
of this creature,
245
00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:22,500
they would not say the name.
246
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,833
And many people would move along
and abandon huts and things
247
00:12:26,917 --> 00:12:30,792
because of the fear
of this shadow figure.
248
00:12:32,667 --> 00:12:35,083
BIRNES:
We see the shadow people
249
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:38,500
in the stories
of other Native American people.
250
00:12:38,625 --> 00:12:41,542
On Native American reservations,
251
00:12:41,667 --> 00:12:43,708
particularly
the Jicarilla Apache reservation
252
00:12:43,833 --> 00:12:45,500
in Dulce, New Mexico,
253
00:12:45,625 --> 00:12:47,750
they talk
about the shadow people
254
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:51,167
as if they are
their regular companions.
255
00:12:51,333 --> 00:12:53,875
The legend is this.
256
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,333
If a shadow person,
who's really a spirit, sees you
257
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,917
and that shadow people
attaches itself to you,
258
00:13:02,042 --> 00:13:05,250
it will be with you
for the rest of your life.
259
00:13:06,458 --> 00:13:08,750
NARRATOR:
The traditions
of these Native American tribes
260
00:13:08,875 --> 00:13:11,125
originated centuries ago.
261
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:14,500
And as ancient astronaut
theorists point out,
262
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:18,083
accounts of shadowy entities
can be found in the legends
263
00:13:18,208 --> 00:13:21,167
of ancient cultures
all around the world.
264
00:13:21,292 --> 00:13:24,667
While there are stories of
shadow people in modern times,
265
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:26,917
what I find interesting is
266
00:13:27,042 --> 00:13:30,875
there are also references
to what seem to be
267
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,792
shadow people in ancient texts,
268
00:13:33,875 --> 00:13:37,000
and frankly,
they're very strange accounts.
269
00:13:37,125 --> 00:13:39,375
Shadow beings
go far back into antiquity,
270
00:13:39,542 --> 00:13:42,000
all the way back
to the time of ancient Sumer,
271
00:13:42,125 --> 00:13:46,292
where, in that culture,
you see accounts of Alû,
272
00:13:46,375 --> 00:13:48,583
which is a type of udug,
273
00:13:48,708 --> 00:13:51,000
which, in their culture,
was a type of demon.
274
00:13:51,083 --> 00:13:54,750
Now, Alû, in the way
that he would appear to people,
275
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:57,000
it was very much like
our shadow entities of today
276
00:13:57,125 --> 00:13:59,167
where he was very dark
in nature.
277
00:13:59,292 --> 00:14:02,833
He had no facial features,
no eyes, no nose, no mouth,
278
00:14:02,917 --> 00:14:05,125
and he would hover
over people at night.
279
00:14:06,375 --> 00:14:08,500
YOUNG:
Of course, there are
many accounts of demons
280
00:14:08,625 --> 00:14:10,000
in the scriptures,
281
00:14:10,125 --> 00:14:12,333
the Christian Bible, the Talmud.
282
00:14:12,417 --> 00:14:15,000
In Jewish lore,
there is the shadow of death
283
00:14:15,125 --> 00:14:16,667
or the death shadow.
284
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:19,000
There is this idea
that there are
285
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:21,500
malevolent spirits
that could harm you.
286
00:14:21,583 --> 00:14:24,292
NARRATOR:
Commonly compared
with the shadow people
287
00:14:24,417 --> 00:14:28,333
is an entity known in Islam
as the djinn,
288
00:14:28,417 --> 00:14:31,833
supernatural creatures
that are often invisible
289
00:14:31,917 --> 00:14:34,917
and have the ability
to shape-shift.
290
00:14:35,042 --> 00:14:39,458
The derivation of djinn
comes from an Arabic, uh, root,
291
00:14:39,583 --> 00:14:43,958
J-N-N, which literally means
to hide or to conceal.
292
00:14:45,208 --> 00:14:48,292
The djinn are created
of smokeless fire.
293
00:14:48,417 --> 00:14:50,333
Our English word "genie,"
294
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,167
you know, the mythical spirit
that lives inside of a lamp,
295
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:55,375
comes from the word "djinn."
296
00:14:55,542 --> 00:14:59,000
RICKSECKER:
The djinn are considered
more trickster in nature.
297
00:14:59,167 --> 00:15:01,333
They have
some interesting abilities,
298
00:15:01,417 --> 00:15:03,792
such as
they can instantly transport
299
00:15:03,875 --> 00:15:07,167
from one place to another.
300
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:11,125
They also seem to appear
very dark and shadowy in nature,
301
00:15:11,208 --> 00:15:14,000
that they were these big,
looming type of characters
302
00:15:14,167 --> 00:15:16,958
when they enter the room.
303
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:20,792
As a Muslim, you know,
I believe the djinn to be real.
304
00:15:20,875 --> 00:15:23,083
Djinn can be angelic.
305
00:15:23,208 --> 00:15:25,417
They can be demonic.
306
00:15:25,542 --> 00:15:27,333
And so, this idea is
307
00:15:27,458 --> 00:15:29,667
that you have to be careful
with them
308
00:15:29,833 --> 00:15:31,750
because they are
these powerful figures.
309
00:15:31,875 --> 00:15:34,667
They are these
literally supernatural figures.
310
00:15:34,750 --> 00:15:37,000
And so, across the Muslim world,
311
00:15:37,167 --> 00:15:40,125
in the present day, particularly
in places like North Africa,
312
00:15:40,208 --> 00:15:41,833
you may wear an amulet.
313
00:15:41,958 --> 00:15:44,125
You may have things
to ward off the djinn.
314
00:15:44,208 --> 00:15:45,792
You may have,
you know, certain things
315
00:15:45,875 --> 00:15:48,000
that you do to protect you
from the djinn,
316
00:15:48,125 --> 00:15:50,208
because the idea is
that the djinn,
317
00:15:50,375 --> 00:15:53,667
when they're
in their demonic capacity,
318
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:55,750
will do things
that can be harmful
319
00:15:55,875 --> 00:15:58,167
or tormenting to human beings.
320
00:15:58,292 --> 00:16:00,625
What I find fascinating is that
you have a myriad of cultures
321
00:16:00,708 --> 00:16:02,042
from all over the world
322
00:16:02,167 --> 00:16:03,708
that have
very, very similar beliefs
323
00:16:03,833 --> 00:16:05,167
about these shadow entities.
324
00:16:05,292 --> 00:16:08,000
Now, they may call it
something different,
325
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:11,833
but you see in Turkey
the Karabasan, the dark presser,
326
00:16:11,958 --> 00:16:15,000
as a very, very similar entity
327
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:18,833
as to the kana tevoro in Fiji
328
00:16:18,958 --> 00:16:21,083
as to the Pisadeira in Brazil.
329
00:16:21,208 --> 00:16:24,458
They're all talking
about the same type of being,
330
00:16:24,542 --> 00:16:26,125
the same type of entity,
331
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:29,625
and it calls into question,
how are these beings visiting
332
00:16:29,708 --> 00:16:32,500
all of these different cultures
from all over the world
333
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:34,958
since they did not have
any contact with each other?
334
00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:38,667
GEORGE NOORY:
Historically,
since the beginning of time,
335
00:16:38,750 --> 00:16:43,042
we have had creature stories
of strange beings,
336
00:16:43,167 --> 00:16:45,583
of shadows, of the bogeyman.
337
00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:48,125
And they somehow echo
some of the reports
338
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:49,708
that we're hearing today.
339
00:16:49,875 --> 00:16:51,375
They're somewhat similar.
340
00:16:51,542 --> 00:16:53,083
I don't think
they've ever gone away.
341
00:16:53,208 --> 00:16:55,208
They're still here
on the planet.
342
00:16:56,375 --> 00:16:58,833
NARRATOR:
Have separate cultures
around the world
343
00:16:58,958 --> 00:17:00,667
and throughout history
344
00:17:00,792 --> 00:17:04,333
been haunted
by the same dark figures?
345
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:08,458
And if so, just what kind
of entities are they?
346
00:17:08,542 --> 00:17:11,042
Perhaps further clues
can be found
347
00:17:11,167 --> 00:17:15,000
by examining eyewitness accounts
of strange energy
348
00:17:15,125 --> 00:17:18,083
when face-to-face
with shadow people.
349
00:17:27,208 --> 00:17:28,625
NARRATOR:
Virginia City, Nevada.
350
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,500
October 28, 2016.
351
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:33,208
Researcher Michelle LeBaron
and a group of colleagues
352
00:17:33,333 --> 00:17:36,375
are investigating reports
of a shadowlike entity
353
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:40,000
at a historic saloon
called the Washoe Club.
354
00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:42,167
RICKSECKER:
She and another woman
355
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:44,875
ventured
into one particular room.
356
00:17:45,042 --> 00:17:47,833
And between her and her friend,
357
00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:50,833
this large shadow loomed up.
358
00:17:50,917 --> 00:17:55,167
She described it as about
six-five, six-six in height.
359
00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:58,083
But, again,
very, very dark in nature,
360
00:17:58,208 --> 00:17:59,750
so there was no detail.
361
00:17:59,875 --> 00:18:01,917
At one point, she thought
362
00:18:02,042 --> 00:18:04,667
it had completely engulfed
her friend,
363
00:18:04,833 --> 00:18:08,292
and they ended up screaming
and running out of the room.
364
00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:13,000
Now, this woman,
365
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:15,042
a few minutes later,
after they collected themselves,
366
00:18:15,167 --> 00:18:17,125
walked back over to the hall,
367
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:22,000
and there stood again
this very tall, dark shadow,
368
00:18:22,125 --> 00:18:24,000
but it started doing
something very unusual.
369
00:18:24,125 --> 00:18:26,417
There was this pulsating energy
370
00:18:26,542 --> 00:18:28,208
that was emanating forth
from it,
371
00:18:28,375 --> 00:18:30,000
like a "whoop, whoop, whoop."
372
00:18:30,125 --> 00:18:32,458
And she could hear it
as well as feel it.
373
00:18:34,125 --> 00:18:38,000
In many cases,
people feel a certain energy
374
00:18:38,083 --> 00:18:41,125
projecting out
from these beings.
375
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:43,375
And in this
particular woman's case,
376
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:46,292
it was
this pulsating type energy.
377
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:49,167
With other people,
it may be more constant.
378
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:52,250
So, people are experiencing
different types of energy
379
00:18:52,375 --> 00:18:54,208
from these beings
but, with each of them,
380
00:18:54,375 --> 00:18:56,208
energy nonetheless.
381
00:18:57,208 --> 00:18:59,458
JASON OFFUTT:
I have interviewed people
382
00:18:59,542 --> 00:19:01,500
who have encountered
shadow beings,
383
00:19:01,583 --> 00:19:05,542
and they've heard what sounded
like electricity buzzing.
384
00:19:05,667 --> 00:19:07,667
Uh, and-and the sound
would disappear
385
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:10,208
when the shadow people
left the room.
386
00:19:10,333 --> 00:19:11,917
RICKSECKER:
There was another woman
I interviewed
387
00:19:12,042 --> 00:19:14,042
who saw a flash of light
388
00:19:14,208 --> 00:19:15,500
out in her hallway,
and all of a sudden,
389
00:19:15,625 --> 00:19:18,208
this shadow man
ran into her room,
390
00:19:18,375 --> 00:19:19,875
jumped on top of her
391
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,542
and pressed her down
into the bed.
392
00:19:22,667 --> 00:19:24,000
And the shadow man
jumped back off,
393
00:19:24,167 --> 00:19:25,667
ran back out into the hallway,
394
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:28,250
and she saw
another flash of light.
395
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:29,958
The next morning
when she woke up,
396
00:19:30,083 --> 00:19:32,292
she noticed that
397
00:19:32,375 --> 00:19:35,958
all the electronics in that room
had been absolutely fried,
398
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:37,500
and she had to call
the fire department
399
00:19:37,583 --> 00:19:39,750
for them to come
and inspect everything.
400
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:45,208
NARRATOR:
In addition to hearing
and feeling surges of energy,
401
00:19:45,333 --> 00:19:48,083
witnesses often report
another curious detail
402
00:19:48,208 --> 00:19:50,125
about the shadow people:
403
00:19:50,208 --> 00:19:53,000
the appearance of glowing eyes.
404
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,500
HENRY:
A lot of the shadow people have
405
00:19:55,667 --> 00:19:58,792
no facial features whatsoever.
Just blackness.
406
00:19:58,917 --> 00:20:00,875
But some do have glowing eyes,
407
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,333
and, in particular, it's the one
with the red glowing eyes
408
00:20:04,458 --> 00:20:06,292
that appear to be
the most malevolent.
409
00:20:06,375 --> 00:20:09,958
OFFUTT:
When it comes to shadow beings
with eyes,
410
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:12,750
especially blazing red eyes,
411
00:20:12,875 --> 00:20:16,000
people also experience a fear
412
00:20:16,083 --> 00:20:20,000
that is deeper than just
"there's an entity in my room."
413
00:20:20,083 --> 00:20:21,333
And they feel
that these entities
414
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,792
are-are up to nefarious means.
415
00:20:23,917 --> 00:20:26,583
NARRATOR:
So many reports
of shadow encounters
416
00:20:26,708 --> 00:20:29,292
are associated
with pulsating energy,
417
00:20:29,375 --> 00:20:32,833
glowing eyes
and electronic disturbances
418
00:20:32,958 --> 00:20:36,000
that researchers wonder
if some shadow entities
419
00:20:36,167 --> 00:20:39,583
might actually be
misunderstood technology.
420
00:20:40,542 --> 00:20:42,167
HENRY:
It's often discussed
421
00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:44,375
that powerful alien technology
can influence
422
00:20:44,542 --> 00:20:47,208
human electronics
and technology.
423
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:49,167
This is definitely something
that is reported
424
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:51,417
with the shadow people
experiences.
425
00:20:51,542 --> 00:20:53,667
RICKSECKER:
There's also an interesting idea
426
00:20:53,833 --> 00:20:56,375
in which these extraterrestrials
may be using
427
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:58,917
some sort of cloaking device
428
00:20:59,042 --> 00:21:00,958
to hide themselves
from our view.
429
00:21:01,042 --> 00:21:03,458
But since they
may not quite understand
430
00:21:03,542 --> 00:21:05,500
the physiology of our eyes,
431
00:21:05,583 --> 00:21:08,125
it comes off
more of like a shadow.
432
00:21:08,208 --> 00:21:09,667
So, what we may be seeing
433
00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:12,542
is an imperfect type
of alien technology.
434
00:21:12,708 --> 00:21:15,417
OFFUTT:
I've interviewed
two different people
435
00:21:15,542 --> 00:21:19,167
who have described to me
what sounds like it could be
436
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:21,667
some sort
of cloaking technology.
437
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:27,167
One person in particular
said that he saw a cloak open
438
00:21:27,292 --> 00:21:30,500
and saw beyond the disguise.
439
00:21:30,625 --> 00:21:34,000
And what he saw, he said,
was reptilian scales.
440
00:21:34,167 --> 00:21:38,458
Uh, I-I spoke with someone else
who saw something similar
441
00:21:38,542 --> 00:21:41,375
but described the skin
as more, like, slick.
442
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:43,417
Like a...
like a frog's but gray.
443
00:21:43,542 --> 00:21:45,583
TSOUKALOS:
Could it be
444
00:21:45,708 --> 00:21:48,333
that we're not talking
about shadow people
445
00:21:48,458 --> 00:21:51,500
but some type of a technology
446
00:21:51,583 --> 00:21:55,208
that appeared like a shadow
and it maybe...
447
00:21:55,333 --> 00:21:57,250
You know, sometime
a technology did not work,
448
00:21:57,375 --> 00:21:59,833
it would reveal that person
underneath the cloak
449
00:21:59,917 --> 00:22:01,250
or underneath the device.
450
00:22:01,375 --> 00:22:02,667
And so they will be seen
451
00:22:02,750 --> 00:22:04,542
for maybe a fraction
of a second.
452
00:22:05,542 --> 00:22:07,500
NARRATOR:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
453
00:22:07,625 --> 00:22:09,500
the notion
that the shadow people
454
00:22:09,667 --> 00:22:12,333
might be some form
of misunderstood technology
455
00:22:12,458 --> 00:22:14,792
is an intriguing possibility.
456
00:22:14,875 --> 00:22:18,208
But what many consider
an absolute certainty
457
00:22:18,375 --> 00:22:22,083
is their connection
to extraterrestrials.
458
00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:25,500
As evidence,
they point to the many accounts
459
00:22:25,625 --> 00:22:28,250
linking
the shadow people phenomenon
460
00:22:28,375 --> 00:22:30,458
and alien abduction.
461
00:22:31,875 --> 00:22:33,458
There are a lot
of common denominators
462
00:22:33,542 --> 00:22:36,542
with people
who experience shadow figures
463
00:22:36,667 --> 00:22:38,292
and those who are abducted.
464
00:22:38,375 --> 00:22:40,500
You wake up
in the middle of the night.
465
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:42,458
You are taken by surprise.
466
00:22:42,542 --> 00:22:44,625
You are paralyzed.
467
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:47,083
You cannot move.
You cannot speak.
468
00:22:47,208 --> 00:22:48,917
You are helpless.
469
00:22:49,042 --> 00:22:53,167
You feel that this entity
has taken over you.
470
00:22:53,292 --> 00:22:56,042
It is projecting
some sort of energy
471
00:22:56,167 --> 00:22:59,167
that you cannot control.
472
00:22:59,250 --> 00:23:01,667
In my professional,
uh, experience
473
00:23:01,792 --> 00:23:03,875
as an investigative reporter
474
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,500
talking
with maybe about 3,000 people
475
00:23:06,625 --> 00:23:10,083
in the abduction syndrome
over about four decades,
476
00:23:10,208 --> 00:23:12,792
one of the common experiences
477
00:23:12,917 --> 00:23:15,208
that you will hear
from abductees
478
00:23:15,333 --> 00:23:17,708
is that they feel paralyzed
479
00:23:17,833 --> 00:23:20,125
in the presence
of something in their room,
480
00:23:20,208 --> 00:23:22,375
usually an entity.
481
00:23:23,417 --> 00:23:26,042
A few call them shadow people.
482
00:23:27,208 --> 00:23:29,542
In March of 1991,
483
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:32,875
in my mail,
I received an envelope
484
00:23:33,042 --> 00:23:36,292
that contained illustrations
and an audio cassette
485
00:23:36,375 --> 00:23:38,375
and a letter from a woman
486
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,208
who lived
in Porterville, California.
487
00:23:41,333 --> 00:23:43,583
And part of the story
was her encounter
488
00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:45,500
with shadow people.
489
00:23:45,667 --> 00:23:48,500
And I would like to read a
little bit about what she wrote.
490
00:23:50,667 --> 00:23:53,375
"I was in bed asleep
when something woke me up.
491
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:55,500
"The room was filled this time
492
00:23:55,625 --> 00:23:57,625
"with an orange glow,
493
00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:59,917
"and at the center of the room
was a hole,
494
00:24:00,042 --> 00:24:04,500
"out of which two well-formed,
seemingly three-dimensional
495
00:24:04,583 --> 00:24:06,917
"solid shadow people
were stepping.
496
00:24:07,042 --> 00:24:11,500
"The two shadow men grabbed me
and pulled me toward the hole.
497
00:24:11,625 --> 00:24:14,250
"That is the last I remember.
498
00:24:14,375 --> 00:24:17,167
"And later,
I realized that the little guy,
499
00:24:17,292 --> 00:24:19,583
"the Grey guy
that I call the creep,
500
00:24:19,708 --> 00:24:21,833
"was standing off to the right,
501
00:24:21,917 --> 00:24:24,542
"watching my reaction
to the whole thing.
502
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:28,542
He also seemed to be in charge
of what was happening."
503
00:24:32,125 --> 00:24:35,083
NARRATOR:
Could the accounts
of alleged alien abductees
504
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:38,333
reveal that reports
of shadow people are, in fact,
505
00:24:38,458 --> 00:24:41,500
extraterrestrial encounters?
506
00:24:41,625 --> 00:24:44,042
Perhaps further clues
can be found
507
00:24:44,167 --> 00:24:47,833
by examining a shadowy being
often encountered
508
00:24:47,917 --> 00:24:49,750
by UFO witnesses,
509
00:24:49,875 --> 00:24:53,125
an entity known as the Hat Man.
510
00:25:00,292 --> 00:25:01,917
NARRATOR:
Shadow people witnesses
511
00:25:02,042 --> 00:25:04,292
often describe
the entities they encounter
512
00:25:04,375 --> 00:25:05,417
as appearing vaguely humanoid
with no discernible features.
513
00:25:05,542 --> 00:25:07,417
But in some accounts,
514
00:25:07,542 --> 00:25:10,708
they take
a curiously recognizable form.
515
00:25:10,875 --> 00:25:13,958
RICKSECKER:
One of the most mysterious types
of shadow entities
516
00:25:14,042 --> 00:25:18,375
is what people refer to
as the Hat Man.
517
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:19,833
This type of entity
518
00:25:19,958 --> 00:25:21,667
may be wearing a fedora-type hat
519
00:25:21,792 --> 00:25:23,750
with an accompanying
trench coat.
520
00:25:23,875 --> 00:25:26,125
It may be a top hat
with or without the cape.
521
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:29,292
We don't see a lot of detail
with the Hat Man.
522
00:25:29,375 --> 00:25:32,417
We see that vague outline.
523
00:25:32,542 --> 00:25:36,833
OFFUTT:
The Hat Man appears just like
any other shadow being.
524
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,958
There's no definition.
You-you can't see,
525
00:25:39,042 --> 00:25:41,708
uh, a nose, a chin,
uh, the eyes.
526
00:25:41,833 --> 00:25:43,833
You see the outline of a fedora.
527
00:25:43,958 --> 00:25:45,792
RICKSECKER:
Many times, people report
528
00:25:45,875 --> 00:25:47,875
these hat-wearing entities
529
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,875
coming into their bedrooms
at night, sometimes flanked
530
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,125
by two humanoid type
of shadow entities.
531
00:25:54,250 --> 00:25:56,333
And they strike fear
532
00:25:56,417 --> 00:25:58,375
into the person there
lying in bed
533
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,167
and, like an energy vampire,
534
00:26:01,292 --> 00:26:03,542
feed off of that fear.
535
00:26:03,708 --> 00:26:05,167
HOLLIS:
There's confusion out there
536
00:26:05,292 --> 00:26:06,833
between different entities.
537
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,375
Something I once called
Hat Man shadow,
538
00:26:10,542 --> 00:26:12,333
he is not a shadow person.
539
00:26:12,417 --> 00:26:15,458
He can take on
different forms, yes,
540
00:26:15,542 --> 00:26:18,500
as far as being able
to blend into a shadow.
541
00:26:18,667 --> 00:26:21,000
But he could step out,
and he could be very solid,
542
00:26:21,167 --> 00:26:24,167
so he's a very different type
of entity.
543
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:27,917
But people think
he directs the shadow people.
544
00:26:28,042 --> 00:26:32,792
So, shadow people are
essentially minions to Hat Man.
545
00:26:32,917 --> 00:26:35,958
NARRATOR:
Could reports
of the so-called Hat Man
546
00:26:36,042 --> 00:26:39,500
shed new light
on the shadow people phenomenon?
547
00:26:39,625 --> 00:26:42,875
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
548
00:26:43,042 --> 00:26:45,417
one of the very first
reported encounters
549
00:26:45,542 --> 00:26:47,583
with these dark entities.
550
00:26:50,333 --> 00:26:52,083
Bridgeport, Connecticut.
551
00:26:52,208 --> 00:26:55,500
1953.
552
00:26:55,583 --> 00:26:57,000
Albert K. Bender,
553
00:26:57,167 --> 00:26:59,833
the nation's
top UFO investigator,
554
00:26:59,958 --> 00:27:01,750
receives a threatening visit
555
00:27:01,875 --> 00:27:06,500
that will bring his research
to an abrupt and premature halt.
556
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,042
RICKSECKER:
Albert K. Bender founded
557
00:27:08,208 --> 00:27:09,792
the International
Flying Saucer Bureau.
558
00:27:09,917 --> 00:27:13,083
This was
during the big UFO flap of 1952
559
00:27:13,208 --> 00:27:15,583
when flying saucers were
witnessed over Washington, D.C.,
560
00:27:15,708 --> 00:27:17,500
and many other areas
around the world.
561
00:27:17,625 --> 00:27:20,375
And this organization
blew up big
562
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:22,042
within that first year.
563
00:27:22,167 --> 00:27:26,625
However, just a year later,
he suddenly ended
564
00:27:26,708 --> 00:27:28,667
the International
Flying Saucer Bureau,
565
00:27:28,792 --> 00:27:31,042
and people wondered why.
566
00:27:31,167 --> 00:27:33,708
And what happened
was that he came home one night,
567
00:27:33,875 --> 00:27:35,542
went into his bedroom,
568
00:27:35,708 --> 00:27:39,708
and suddenly these three
dark, shadowy figures
569
00:27:39,833 --> 00:27:42,833
materialized through his wall
into his bedroom.
570
00:27:42,958 --> 00:27:45,708
They were wearing the hats
and the overcoats.
571
00:27:45,875 --> 00:27:49,417
They had glowing eyes,
and they smelled like sulfur.
572
00:27:49,542 --> 00:27:52,667
NARRATOR:
According to Bender,
the three entities
573
00:27:52,833 --> 00:27:55,125
communicated with him
through telepathy,
574
00:27:55,208 --> 00:27:58,167
warning him to discontinue
his UFO research
575
00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:01,208
and stop publishing
his influential magazine,
576
00:28:01,333 --> 00:28:03,083
the Space Review.
577
00:28:03,208 --> 00:28:05,292
Afterwards, he became ill
578
00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:07,917
and didn't eat for three days.
579
00:28:08,042 --> 00:28:09,708
HENRY:
After this experience,
580
00:28:09,833 --> 00:28:11,625
Bender was repeatedly visited,
he said.
581
00:28:11,708 --> 00:28:12,708
They gave him headaches,
582
00:28:12,875 --> 00:28:14,833
they-they controlled him
telepathically,
583
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,917
and he ultimately gave up
his UFO researches
584
00:28:17,042 --> 00:28:19,125
and stopped publishing
the Space Review,
585
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:21,750
in which he documented
UFO sightings
586
00:28:21,875 --> 00:28:23,333
throughout the world.
587
00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:28,375
He told the people
that had been subscribers
588
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,000
and he was working with,
"They told me,
589
00:28:31,125 --> 00:28:35,500
"'We come from a very,
very far distant place
590
00:28:35,583 --> 00:28:37,000
"'in this universe.
591
00:28:37,083 --> 00:28:39,583
"'And we have been coming
and going
592
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:42,125
"'from your planet
for some time,
593
00:28:42,250 --> 00:28:44,542
"'and we cannot allow you
594
00:28:44,708 --> 00:28:46,958
"'or anyone to interfere.
595
00:28:47,042 --> 00:28:50,208
"'And, in fact,
we have taken many humans
596
00:28:50,333 --> 00:28:52,333
"'from this planet
597
00:28:52,458 --> 00:28:55,875
to cover up our operations
until we are done.'"
598
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,417
RICKSECKER:
This is a very influential point
in our history,
599
00:29:00,542 --> 00:29:02,083
especially
in the ufology community,
600
00:29:02,208 --> 00:29:04,708
in which shadow entities
interfered
601
00:29:04,875 --> 00:29:06,833
and thwarted somebody's research
602
00:29:06,958 --> 00:29:10,042
and possibly set the field back
a number of years.
603
00:29:10,167 --> 00:29:13,167
NARRATOR:
The visitors
Albert Bender encountered
604
00:29:13,292 --> 00:29:16,500
match descriptions of what is
today known as the Hat Man,
605
00:29:16,625 --> 00:29:19,500
but he called them
by another name:
606
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:21,375
the Men in Black.
607
00:29:21,542 --> 00:29:24,917
While the Men in Black are
often portrayed in pop culture
608
00:29:25,042 --> 00:29:26,708
as government agents,
609
00:29:26,833 --> 00:29:28,958
many who claim
to have encountered them
610
00:29:29,042 --> 00:29:31,500
believe they are
something other than human.
611
00:29:31,583 --> 00:29:32,958
HENRY:
The Men in Black are
612
00:29:33,042 --> 00:29:35,042
mysterious
and nefarious entities.
613
00:29:35,167 --> 00:29:38,167
They're shadowy.
They wear black clothing.
614
00:29:38,250 --> 00:29:40,875
Many people believe that they're
either extraterrestrials
615
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,292
or somehow, they're working
for extraterrestrials
616
00:29:43,375 --> 00:29:45,500
to prevent humans
from learning the truth
617
00:29:45,625 --> 00:29:47,875
about extraterrestrials
on Earth.
618
00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:53,458
OFFUTT:
They talk to UFO witnesses.
619
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:55,000
Some people have reported
620
00:29:55,125 --> 00:29:57,167
they seem to not know things
that are common,
621
00:29:57,250 --> 00:30:00,333
like, you know,
which end of a pen to use.
622
00:30:00,417 --> 00:30:03,125
Or, uh, if they're offered
something to eat or drink,
623
00:30:03,208 --> 00:30:05,208
they don't know
how to eat or drink it.
624
00:30:05,333 --> 00:30:08,000
HENRY:
Both the Hat Man
and the Men in Black
625
00:30:08,083 --> 00:30:10,167
are known for wearing a hat.
626
00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:13,000
They both influence people
telepathically.
627
00:30:13,083 --> 00:30:16,125
They both appear
to be sometimes malevolent,
628
00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:18,750
and they could, in fact,
be the same type of a being.
629
00:30:18,875 --> 00:30:20,917
There's a theory
that the Hat Man
630
00:30:21,042 --> 00:30:23,333
and the Men in Black
are actually the ringleaders
631
00:30:23,458 --> 00:30:25,708
of the shadow people
632
00:30:25,875 --> 00:30:27,667
and that, in fact,
they direct the shadow people
633
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,333
to influence humans
in particular
634
00:30:30,458 --> 00:30:34,167
to keep them from investigating
UFO experiences.
635
00:30:35,125 --> 00:30:36,542
NOORY:
There's no question
636
00:30:36,708 --> 00:30:38,833
that the stories
of shadow people,
637
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,458
Men in Black
and other visitations
638
00:30:41,542 --> 00:30:43,667
are all mixed in together.
639
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:46,125
Are they the same? Possibly.
640
00:30:46,208 --> 00:30:48,750
But what I think what is
really happening on this planet
641
00:30:48,875 --> 00:30:50,792
is mass hysteria
642
00:30:50,917 --> 00:30:53,208
of real events that are
happening to real people,
643
00:30:53,375 --> 00:30:56,708
and they can't understand
what's going on.
644
00:30:56,833 --> 00:30:58,042
Who knows what's happening?
645
00:30:59,333 --> 00:31:02,125
NARRATOR:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
646
00:31:02,208 --> 00:31:04,792
the wide variety of reported
shadow people encounters
647
00:31:04,917 --> 00:31:07,542
makes finding an explanation
for the phenomenon
648
00:31:07,708 --> 00:31:09,458
all the more difficult.
649
00:31:09,542 --> 00:31:12,333
But some researchers suggest
650
00:31:12,458 --> 00:31:14,417
that we may come closer
to the answer
651
00:31:14,542 --> 00:31:16,500
by asking the question,
652
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:19,208
"Where do they come from?"
653
00:31:27,417 --> 00:31:29,000
NARRATOR:
One of the most common
and most curious observations
654
00:31:29,167 --> 00:31:30,792
reported
by shadow people experiencers
655
00:31:30,875 --> 00:31:32,667
is that these entities
are able to make
656
00:31:32,750 --> 00:31:34,292
physical contact with them
657
00:31:34,375 --> 00:31:36,042
but then often disappear
658
00:31:36,208 --> 00:31:38,542
as though
they are merely holograms.
659
00:31:39,875 --> 00:31:43,917
OFFUTT:
Generally, the shadow people
will leave the room.
660
00:31:44,042 --> 00:31:46,500
Either they will dissolve
in a puff of smoke
661
00:31:46,667 --> 00:31:48,250
or they will walk
through a door.
662
00:31:49,417 --> 00:31:52,667
And they may
or may not be material,
663
00:31:52,792 --> 00:31:56,125
have mass, have structural form.
664
00:31:56,250 --> 00:31:57,958
And there's been talk
about maybe they come
665
00:31:58,042 --> 00:32:00,375
from some other dimension.
666
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:04,375
We take for granted that we live
in a three-dimensional universe.
667
00:32:05,542 --> 00:32:09,000
The quantum theory makes
possible higher dimensions.
668
00:32:09,958 --> 00:32:12,833
Think of fish living in a pond,
for example.
669
00:32:12,958 --> 00:32:15,375
The pond is two-dimensional.
670
00:32:15,542 --> 00:32:18,917
The fish are stuck
in a two-dimensional world.
671
00:32:19,042 --> 00:32:21,958
They cannot visualize
a third dimension.
672
00:32:22,042 --> 00:32:24,500
But you could lift
one of these fishes
673
00:32:24,625 --> 00:32:27,375
into the third dimension,
and they'd be shocked.
674
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:29,958
Shocked to realize
there's a whole universe
675
00:32:30,083 --> 00:32:33,500
in the third dimension
beyond their pond.
676
00:32:33,625 --> 00:32:37,875
Well, we physicists, some of us
believe that we are the fish.
677
00:32:38,042 --> 00:32:41,167
We spend all our life
in a three-dimensional pond
678
00:32:41,333 --> 00:32:43,667
thinking
that that's all there is
679
00:32:43,792 --> 00:32:45,000
when right above us,
680
00:32:45,125 --> 00:32:47,708
there could be
higher dimensions,
681
00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:51,042
hyperspatial dimensions
up to 11.
682
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:55,542
RICKSECKER: Theoretically,
we have up to 11 dimensions,
683
00:32:55,667 --> 00:32:57,917
and there may be other entities
and other life-forms
684
00:32:58,042 --> 00:32:59,917
living within these dimensions.
685
00:33:00,042 --> 00:33:02,375
Now, how would they look to us
686
00:33:02,542 --> 00:33:04,833
if they crossed
over those dimensions
687
00:33:04,958 --> 00:33:07,000
and entered into our world?
688
00:33:07,125 --> 00:33:09,958
Well, maybe a shadow entity
689
00:33:10,042 --> 00:33:12,417
is one of these
interdimensional beings
690
00:33:12,542 --> 00:33:15,667
that has crossed over from
some other place in space-time
691
00:33:15,792 --> 00:33:17,167
into our world.
692
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:19,417
And we're seeing them
as a shadow
693
00:33:19,542 --> 00:33:24,000
because their energy
and their personal resonance
694
00:33:24,125 --> 00:33:26,958
doesn't quite adhere
695
00:33:27,042 --> 00:33:30,375
to the energy
and the resonance of our planet.
696
00:33:31,375 --> 00:33:33,167
NOORY:
If shadow people exist,
697
00:33:33,292 --> 00:33:35,958
and it's very possible
that they do,
698
00:33:36,083 --> 00:33:37,917
I think they're coming
from other dimensions
699
00:33:38,042 --> 00:33:39,500
within our universe.
700
00:33:40,708 --> 00:33:44,083
I think there are entities
that somehow leak through
701
00:33:44,208 --> 00:33:46,125
because some of them
even look disoriented,
702
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:48,042
like they-they don't know
where they are.
703
00:33:48,208 --> 00:33:50,958
Somehow, they're coming
through another dimension
704
00:33:51,083 --> 00:33:52,792
into ours,
705
00:33:52,875 --> 00:33:54,542
and we're stuck with them.
706
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:58,542
NARRATOR:
Could it be
that shadow people experiencers
707
00:33:58,667 --> 00:34:00,375
are witnessing entities
708
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,458
that are capable of traveling
between dimensions?
709
00:34:03,583 --> 00:34:05,917
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
710
00:34:06,042 --> 00:34:07,667
there is evidence
711
00:34:07,792 --> 00:34:11,833
that certain places on Earth
act as interdimensional portals.
712
00:34:11,917 --> 00:34:13,833
RICKSECKER:
We see shadow entities
713
00:34:13,958 --> 00:34:16,333
in these certain locations
around the world
714
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,875
in which they seem
to appear more often.
715
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,917
There are locations
around our planet
716
00:34:21,042 --> 00:34:23,250
where there's more
of that Earth energy
717
00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:25,333
that is rising
out of the ground.
718
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:27,833
You know, Stonehenge,
the pyramids,
719
00:34:27,917 --> 00:34:30,792
Carnac,
places with that ancient energy
720
00:34:30,917 --> 00:34:32,875
that's rising from the ground.
721
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,083
Now, an interdimensional being
may be using those locations
722
00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:40,125
to enter into our domain.
723
00:34:41,292 --> 00:34:44,500
NARRATOR:
Some researchers believe
it is also possible
724
00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:46,167
that shadow people
725
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:48,333
can alter the human mind
726
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:51,000
to see into other dimensions.
727
00:34:51,083 --> 00:34:53,000
BIRNES:
Ancient peoples believe
728
00:34:53,083 --> 00:34:55,833
that shadow people
have the ability
729
00:34:55,958 --> 00:34:58,667
to enter a person's mind
730
00:34:58,833 --> 00:35:01,250
and change
that person's perception
731
00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:04,500
so the person
can see the spirit.
732
00:35:04,583 --> 00:35:08,708
They've entered
from their world into our world.
733
00:35:08,833 --> 00:35:12,000
NARRATOR:
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
734
00:35:12,125 --> 00:35:14,625
the notion that the human mind
can be altered
735
00:35:14,708 --> 00:35:16,667
to access other dimensions
736
00:35:16,792 --> 00:35:18,625
is supported by experiments
737
00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:21,667
with a powerful hallucinogen
called dimethyltryptamine,
738
00:35:21,792 --> 00:35:23,375
or DMT,
739
00:35:23,542 --> 00:35:26,083
the active ingredient
in ayahuasca.
740
00:35:27,042 --> 00:35:29,333
This South American drug
741
00:35:29,458 --> 00:35:31,125
is traditionally used
throughout the Amazon
742
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:34,750
to produce intense visions.
743
00:35:34,875 --> 00:35:38,333
Between 1990 and 1995,
744
00:35:38,458 --> 00:35:41,208
scientists
at the University of New Mexico
745
00:35:41,333 --> 00:35:43,833
administered DMT
to 60 volunteers
746
00:35:43,917 --> 00:35:45,458
and were surprised
747
00:35:45,542 --> 00:35:48,542
to find that many of them
had very similar visions,
748
00:35:48,667 --> 00:35:52,875
including encounters
with strange beings.
749
00:35:53,042 --> 00:35:56,542
One of the greatest scholars
about the effect of DMT
750
00:35:56,667 --> 00:35:59,208
and human beings and what we see
in the other world
751
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:01,667
is Terence McKenna.
752
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:05,042
Terence McKenna explained
753
00:36:05,167 --> 00:36:08,667
that the strangest thing
to him was
754
00:36:08,792 --> 00:36:12,125
those who'd taken ayahuasca
generally saw the same thing.
755
00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:13,833
What did they see?
756
00:36:13,958 --> 00:36:15,792
Little green people.
757
00:36:15,875 --> 00:36:17,625
People like Terence McKenna
758
00:36:17,708 --> 00:36:20,292
are saying that's the entrance
to another world,
759
00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:22,917
another dimension.
760
00:36:23,042 --> 00:36:25,667
And we know, he says,
761
00:36:25,792 --> 00:36:28,167
that it has a separate existence
from us
762
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:31,583
because people
from all different walks of life
763
00:36:31,708 --> 00:36:33,333
see the same thing.
764
00:36:33,458 --> 00:36:36,000
HENRY:
These beings appear to be coming
765
00:36:36,083 --> 00:36:38,333
from higher or lower realms
766
00:36:38,458 --> 00:36:40,625
and entering
into our physical realm,
767
00:36:40,750 --> 00:36:42,417
perhaps to demonstrate
that we, too,
768
00:36:42,542 --> 00:36:44,500
can cross over
into these realms.
769
00:36:44,583 --> 00:36:47,167
It's very important
that we understand the nature
770
00:36:47,333 --> 00:36:49,125
and origins of these beings
771
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:51,208
because it could be
that they are gonna lead us
772
00:36:51,333 --> 00:36:54,625
to innumerable different species
that exist in our universe
773
00:36:54,750 --> 00:36:56,125
as well as how we, too,
774
00:36:56,208 --> 00:36:58,500
can cross over
into these other realms.
775
00:36:58,625 --> 00:37:02,458
NARRATOR:
Experiments with electric
stimulation of the brain
776
00:37:02,542 --> 00:37:06,000
have also caused people to have
unexplainable encounters.
777
00:37:06,083 --> 00:37:07,750
OFFUTT:
There was a study
778
00:37:07,875 --> 00:37:10,292
done, uh, in-in Sweden
779
00:37:10,375 --> 00:37:12,500
where these scientists
put electric charges
780
00:37:12,625 --> 00:37:14,333
in certain parts of the brain
781
00:37:14,458 --> 00:37:17,500
just to see how the subject
would react to them.
782
00:37:17,625 --> 00:37:21,000
And a young undergrad was
sitting there with a notebook,
783
00:37:21,125 --> 00:37:23,208
and when they increased
the voltage
784
00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:25,125
to a certain part of her brain,
785
00:37:25,208 --> 00:37:27,167
she started pulling away
786
00:37:27,250 --> 00:37:29,500
from something
that wasn't there.
787
00:37:29,667 --> 00:37:31,667
And afterwards,
uh, when she was asked
788
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:34,167
by the scientist
to describe what was going on,
789
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:37,375
she said that she saw
a shadow entity behind her.
790
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:39,958
And when the voltage
was at its highest,
791
00:37:40,042 --> 00:37:42,083
she said it was trying
to take the notebook and pen
792
00:37:42,208 --> 00:37:43,500
out of her hands,
and she was jerking
793
00:37:43,583 --> 00:37:46,000
to keep it from removing them.
794
00:37:46,125 --> 00:37:48,583
So, is it some part of our brain
795
00:37:48,708 --> 00:37:50,917
that needs an electrical charge
796
00:37:51,042 --> 00:37:53,292
or some charge from ayahuasca
797
00:37:53,417 --> 00:37:56,042
to help us see
what's already there?
798
00:37:56,208 --> 00:37:57,583
Very possibly.
799
00:37:58,625 --> 00:38:00,500
NARRATOR:
Are shadow people witnesses
800
00:38:00,583 --> 00:38:04,375
encountering entities
from other dimensions?
801
00:38:04,542 --> 00:38:06,625
Some ancient astronaut theorists
802
00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:10,417
suggest there is an even more
profound explanation:
803
00:38:10,542 --> 00:38:14,042
that just outside the range
of human perception,
804
00:38:14,167 --> 00:38:16,708
Earth is inhabited
by a great multitude
805
00:38:16,875 --> 00:38:19,667
of otherworldly beings.
806
00:38:24,708 --> 00:38:26,708
NARRATOR:
The dark, hulking figure
807
00:38:26,833 --> 00:38:28,875
that comes in the night
and paralyzes its prey
808
00:38:29,042 --> 00:38:32,500
remains the most common
shadow people experience.
809
00:38:33,792 --> 00:38:36,833
But reports of these entities
appearing in broad daylight,
810
00:38:36,958 --> 00:38:40,208
as well as other types
of shadow people accounts,
811
00:38:40,375 --> 00:38:43,000
make it difficult
for investigators to pin down
812
00:38:43,125 --> 00:38:45,958
exactly what this phenomenon is.
813
00:38:48,083 --> 00:38:50,292
When it comes to the different
types of shadow entities,
814
00:38:50,375 --> 00:38:51,625
their behavior, to me,
815
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:53,792
differentiates
one from the other.
816
00:38:53,917 --> 00:38:56,458
The ones that don't pay
any attention to people at all,
817
00:38:56,542 --> 00:38:58,667
they could be interdimensional.
818
00:38:58,833 --> 00:39:02,958
The ones that are spying on us
could be extraterrestrial.
819
00:39:03,042 --> 00:39:04,958
The ones that instill fear
820
00:39:05,042 --> 00:39:07,333
could be demonic entities.
821
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:10,958
So, even though
they look the same,
822
00:39:11,042 --> 00:39:14,292
generally, I-I don't think
a lot of them are.
823
00:39:15,875 --> 00:39:19,375
HENRY:
The multifactorial explanation
makes a lot of sense.
824
00:39:19,542 --> 00:39:21,458
It could explain
why some of them instill fear
825
00:39:21,583 --> 00:39:23,167
and some of them don't,
826
00:39:23,292 --> 00:39:24,833
why some of them appear
during daytime
827
00:39:24,958 --> 00:39:26,792
and some of them
only appear at nighttime.
828
00:39:26,875 --> 00:39:29,000
The fact is
we just don't know enough
829
00:39:29,125 --> 00:39:30,583
about the shadow people,
830
00:39:30,708 --> 00:39:33,375
and a lot more research
needs to be done.
831
00:39:33,542 --> 00:39:35,958
NARRATOR:
While answers remain elusive,
832
00:39:36,083 --> 00:39:39,125
one popular new theory
is that the shadow people
833
00:39:39,250 --> 00:39:42,500
exist outside the limits
of human perception,
834
00:39:42,583 --> 00:39:45,333
not occupying
an alternate dimension
835
00:39:45,458 --> 00:39:47,458
but vibrating at a frequency
836
00:39:47,542 --> 00:39:50,500
we are not normally able
to perceive.
837
00:39:51,542 --> 00:39:53,375
TSOUKALOS:
It's a scientific fact
838
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:57,875
that the human eye
can only see certain things.
839
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,417
For example, we cannot see
the infrared light spectrum.
840
00:40:02,542 --> 00:40:06,667
So you have to wonder
if shadow people operate
841
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:11,667
in a spectrum that we humans
simply cannot see.
842
00:40:11,750 --> 00:40:15,542
And perhaps there are
certain people
843
00:40:15,708 --> 00:40:19,042
whose brains operate
in a different way,
844
00:40:19,167 --> 00:40:21,917
and they're able to process
845
00:40:22,042 --> 00:40:25,792
more of the reality
that we currently experience.
846
00:40:26,875 --> 00:40:29,333
CORY:
There are other spectrums
that continue on
847
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:33,542
past our physical brain
and our physical self.
848
00:40:33,708 --> 00:40:36,750
And so, why is it so difficult
849
00:40:36,875 --> 00:40:40,917
to imagine that these entities
could be existing?
850
00:40:42,042 --> 00:40:44,375
That these entities exist
851
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:47,000
in these other spectrum
852
00:40:47,167 --> 00:40:49,167
and tap into our spectrum
853
00:40:49,250 --> 00:40:51,500
at will and upon command.
854
00:40:52,542 --> 00:40:54,542
RICKSECKER:
I think the benefit for mankind
855
00:40:54,667 --> 00:40:57,042
in learning
about these entities...
856
00:40:57,208 --> 00:40:59,958
I think we'd get a better
understanding of our universe
857
00:41:00,042 --> 00:41:02,875
and how everything
in this universe is connected.
858
00:41:03,042 --> 00:41:04,833
You know, I to you.
859
00:41:05,875 --> 00:41:08,625
Us to the planet,
the planet to the Sun
860
00:41:08,708 --> 00:41:11,875
to the solar system
to our galaxy.
861
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,083
Everything is interconnected.
We're all made of stardust.
862
00:41:15,208 --> 00:41:17,250
And I think we'll have
a better understanding
863
00:41:17,375 --> 00:41:18,500
of our origins
864
00:41:18,625 --> 00:41:20,625
and where we're going
in the future.
865
00:41:20,708 --> 00:41:22,083
TSOUKALOS:
One can argue,
866
00:41:22,208 --> 00:41:24,500
"Oh, it's just a figment
of their imagination."
867
00:41:24,625 --> 00:41:26,333
But some of these people
have experienced this
868
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:29,333
for their entire lives.
869
00:41:29,417 --> 00:41:31,792
And I think
that we need to investigate
870
00:41:31,917 --> 00:41:35,125
and listen to the people
who tell us these stories.
871
00:41:36,333 --> 00:41:38,125
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
872
00:41:38,208 --> 00:41:40,417
that humankind shares the Earth
873
00:41:40,542 --> 00:41:41,833
with other intelligent beings
874
00:41:41,917 --> 00:41:45,667
that only a select few
are able to perceive?
875
00:41:45,792 --> 00:41:49,167
Perhaps the next step
in humankind's evolution
876
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:53,625
will not involve the development
of spacefaring technology
877
00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:56,958
but an expansion
of consciousness,
878
00:41:57,083 --> 00:41:59,667
allowing us to see
for the first time
879
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:03,083
that we truly are not alone,
880
00:42:03,208 --> 00:42:06,417
even on our own planet.
