00:00:06,375 --> 00:00:07,792
of a highly advanced
aircraft appears
3
00:00:07,875 --> 00:00:09,333
in a 3,000-year-old text.

00:00:09,417 --> 00:00:10,667
JONATHAN YOUNG:
There are tales
5
00:00:10,792 --> 00:00:11,833
of flying craft
6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,208
that could fly
at extraordinary speeds
7
00:00:14,333 --> 00:00:16,708
that defy the laws of physics.
8
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:19,375
NARRATOR:
Ancient stories depict a vehicle
9
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:23,292
that travels both
in the sky and underwater.
10
00:00:23,417 --> 00:00:26,083
WILLIAM HENRY:
In Sumeria and in Babylon,
they talked about
11
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:30,958
Oannes who emerged
from the sea in a winged disc.
12
00:00:31,042 --> 00:00:33,500
NARRATOR:
And the oldest
Egyptian hieroglyphs
13
00:00:33,625 --> 00:00:36,958
reference strange objects
descending to Earth.
14
00:00:37,042 --> 00:00:40,292
We have depictions
in ancient times
15
00:00:40,375 --> 00:00:42,833
of flying craft that seem to be
16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
in the form of pyramids.
17
00:00:45,167 --> 00:00:47,708
NARRATOR:
Now, military personnel
18
00:00:47,875 --> 00:00:49,375
are capturing footage
19
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:51,917
of nearly identical
objects in the sky.
20
00:00:52,042 --> 00:00:55,375
Are we encountering
the same extraterrestrials
21
00:00:55,542 --> 00:00:59,792
that have occupied Earth
for thousands of years?
22
00:01:00,958 --> 00:01:03,042
♪ ♪
23
00:01:04,167 --> 00:01:05,875
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,792
in the universe.
25
00:01:08,917 --> 00:01:12,958
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
26
00:01:13,083 --> 00:01:15,750
It demands
we question everything
27
00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:18,167
we have ever been taught.
28
00:01:18,292 --> 00:01:21,333
The evidence is all around us.
29
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:25,500
The future is
right before our eyes.
30
00:01:25,625 --> 00:01:28,542
We are not alone.
31
00:01:28,667 --> 00:01:31,458
We have never been alone.
32
00:01:40,292 --> 00:01:43,667
NARRATOR:
July 2019.
33
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:47,208
San Clemente Island, California.
34
00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:50,708
68 nautical miles west
of San Diego.
35
00:01:50,833 --> 00:01:53,500
Nine U.S. warships
36
00:01:53,667 --> 00:01:55,750
belonging to an elite
Navy unit called
37
00:01:55,875 --> 00:01:57,833
Carrier Strike Group 9
38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,167
are performing nighttime
training exercises
39
00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:02,250
in restricted waters.
40
00:02:02,375 --> 00:02:05,708
The Navy was undertaking
an exercise
41
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:07,833
with Strike Force 9.
42
00:02:07,958 --> 00:02:11,208
This is an integrated crew
43
00:02:11,333 --> 00:02:13,208
centered on an aircraft carrier,
44
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:15,667
but with multiple other
45
00:02:15,792 --> 00:02:18,000
U.S. Navy vessels,
46
00:02:18,083 --> 00:02:21,333
and jets really testing how
47
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,333
the U.S. military would respond
48
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,500
in a war-fighting situation,
49
00:02:26,667 --> 00:02:29,500
so everything
has to be seamless.
50
00:02:29,625 --> 00:02:30,375
And then,
51
00:02:30,542 --> 00:02:33,375
into the middle of all of this,
52
00:02:33,542 --> 00:02:36,708
suddenly and unexpectedly,
53
00:02:36,833 --> 00:02:38,958
the exercise is interrupted
54
00:02:39,083 --> 00:02:41,500
by an unknown presence.
55
00:02:43,208 --> 00:02:44,500
NARRATOR:
The ships are swarmed
56
00:02:44,625 --> 00:02:47,333
by what the Navy
refers to as UAVs,
57
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,667
or Unidentified Aerial Vehicles.
58
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:54,125
The UAVs fly for prolonged
periods of time
59
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:56,333
in low-visibility conditions,
60
00:02:56,458 --> 00:02:59,167
performing brazen maneuvers
over the warships
61
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:02,167
near a sensitive
military training range.
62
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:03,875
Make no mistake about it,
63
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,042
something is penetrating
64
00:03:08,208 --> 00:03:11,042
the sophisticated
air defense network.
65
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:14,000
JEREMY CORBELL:
That swarm series
66
00:03:14,167 --> 00:03:16,708
of UFOs around Navy ships
67
00:03:16,875 --> 00:03:19,042
is one of the most important
bodies of evidence
68
00:03:19,208 --> 00:03:21,542
ever documented
and put out to the public
69
00:03:21,667 --> 00:03:24,500
because it involved
so many ships.
70
00:03:24,583 --> 00:03:27,292
There were
a strategic coordination
71
00:03:27,417 --> 00:03:29,167
of these unidentifieds.
72
00:03:30,625 --> 00:03:32,500
NARRATOR:
The Photographic Interpretation
73
00:03:32,625 --> 00:03:35,917
and Examination team
aboard the USS Russell
74
00:03:36,042 --> 00:03:39,542
captured a compelling
18-second night vision video
75
00:03:39,667 --> 00:03:44,792
of multiple UAVs hovering
just 700 feet above the ship.
76
00:03:44,875 --> 00:03:47,333
CORBELL:
The USS Russell
was swarmed by UFOs
77
00:03:47,417 --> 00:03:50,125
like other ships,
but this was different.
78
00:03:50,208 --> 00:03:53,125
These were flying pyramids
79
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:55,458
without any
control surfaces, wings,
80
00:03:55,542 --> 00:03:58,375
rudders, tails, plumes,
or exhaust. Nothing.
81
00:03:58,542 --> 00:04:00,333
How did these things move?
82
00:04:00,458 --> 00:04:02,458
How were they able to get past
83
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,917
one of our nation's
greatest defense systems?
84
00:04:05,042 --> 00:04:07,625
This was something that
we couldn't even defend against.
85
00:04:09,083 --> 00:04:11,500
NARRATOR:
In December 2017,
86
00:04:11,667 --> 00:04:14,583
just 18 months prior
to this incident,
87
00:04:14,708 --> 00:04:17,042
The New York Times
exposed the U.S. government's
88
00:04:17,167 --> 00:04:21,625
secret program to investigate
unidentified aerial phenomena.
89
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:25,667
Since that bombshell revelation,
90
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:28,458
numerous photographs
and videos have surfaced
91
00:04:28,542 --> 00:04:32,125
of Navy encounters
with different types of UAPs.
92
00:04:32,208 --> 00:04:34,917
And as far as
ancient astronaut theorists
93
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:37,125
are concerned,
the video captured
94
00:04:37,208 --> 00:04:41,917
from the USS Russell may be
the most extraordinary of all.
95
00:04:42,042 --> 00:04:45,542
Not because there were
so many objects seen in the sky,
96
00:04:45,708 --> 00:04:49,583
but because of the UAP's
very unique shape.
97
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,375
TSOUKALOS: The fact that there
are pyramid-shaped objects
98
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:56,958
that have been filmed
by the Navy
99
00:04:57,042 --> 00:04:59,500
is beyond interesting to me
100
00:04:59,625 --> 00:05:03,250
because we have
similar depictions
101
00:05:03,375 --> 00:05:06,667
in ancient times of flying craft
102
00:05:06,792 --> 00:05:09,417
that seem to be
in the form of pyramids.
103
00:05:09,542 --> 00:05:12,417
Clearly, what we see
in this footage of today
104
00:05:12,542 --> 00:05:14,875
is pyramid-shaped,
three-dimensionally.
105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,375
It's not flat.
106
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:19,083
It's a three-dimensional pyramid
107
00:05:19,208 --> 00:05:21,167
floating in the sky.
108
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:23,167
Providing that
the footage is real,
109
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:25,208
providing it is
extraterrestrial,
110
00:05:25,375 --> 00:05:28,708
then one could argue
that the same visitors
111
00:05:28,875 --> 00:05:30,292
that we've had back then
112
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:32,542
are showing themselves again.
113
00:05:36,625 --> 00:05:39,208
NARRATOR:
On display in
the Egyptian Museum
114
00:05:39,333 --> 00:05:40,625
and Royal Mummies' Hall
115
00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:44,375
is an artifact from
the pyramid of Amenemhat III,
116
00:05:44,542 --> 00:05:48,208
called a Benben stone.
117
00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:51,750
In ancient Egypt, similar
pyramid-shaped capstones
118
00:05:51,875 --> 00:05:55,583
were placed on the top of giant
standing stones called obelisks.
119
00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:58,583
The first of these Benben stones
120
00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:01,458
predate the earliest pyramids.
121
00:06:01,542 --> 00:06:03,500
The obelisk pointed up
toward the heavens,
122
00:06:03,583 --> 00:06:05,500
so it is an object of worship,
123
00:06:05,583 --> 00:06:09,000
and that capstone,
that Benben stone,
124
00:06:09,167 --> 00:06:10,167
was the meeting place.
125
00:06:10,333 --> 00:06:13,083
That was the portal
to other worlds
126
00:06:13,208 --> 00:06:17,667
where human energy lifted up
and made contact with the gods.
127
00:06:17,792 --> 00:06:20,208
HUGH NEWMAN:
The shape of the Benben stone
128
00:06:20,333 --> 00:06:22,125
is like a classic pyramid shape.
129
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:24,583
And, uh, you know, apparently,
the design of pyramids
130
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:27,292
was based on
the Benben stone itself,
131
00:06:27,375 --> 00:06:29,833
and these are like
giant versions of it.
132
00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:33,542
DAVID CHILDRESS: The Benben
stone was not just, uh,
133
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,583
symbolizing a connection
to the heavens,
134
00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:41,708
it was actually memorializing
an extraterrestrial visitation.
135
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,292
TSOUKALOS:
In ancient Egypt, it's
chock-full of references
136
00:06:47,417 --> 00:06:49,750
of celestial beings
descending from the sky
137
00:06:49,875 --> 00:06:51,958
and imparting knowledge
to our ancestors.
138
00:06:53,625 --> 00:06:56,667
One of the origin stories says
139
00:06:56,833 --> 00:07:01,292
that a Benben stone
descended from the sky,
140
00:07:01,417 --> 00:07:04,667
out of which
the first creator gods emerged
141
00:07:04,833 --> 00:07:06,958
and started
Egyptian civilization.
142
00:07:07,042 --> 00:07:09,667
It was a flying craft.
143
00:07:11,208 --> 00:07:14,583
NARRATOR:
Could the pyramidal capstones
found atop Egypt's obelisks,
144
00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:16,917
and even the pyramids
themselves,
145
00:07:17,042 --> 00:07:20,667
have been inspired by
an extraterrestrial visitation?
146
00:07:20,792 --> 00:07:22,583
And if so,
147
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:25,500
is it possible
that similar alien craft
148
00:07:25,625 --> 00:07:28,792
were captured on video
above the USS Russell?
149
00:07:30,042 --> 00:07:32,917
What we're seeing
from the USS Russell,
150
00:07:33,042 --> 00:07:37,125
these kind of objects
flying around in the sky
151
00:07:37,250 --> 00:07:38,958
were an identical shape
152
00:07:39,042 --> 00:07:41,542
and there was multiple ones
witnessed and filmed.
153
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:44,500
And so, is there a connection?
154
00:07:44,625 --> 00:07:47,417
Is this what was witnessed
from the USS Russell?
155
00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:51,333
CHILDRESS:
It's a fascinating idea
that, perhaps,
156
00:07:51,458 --> 00:07:53,625
extraterrestrials first arrived
157
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:58,333
in Egypt in these small,
pyramid-shaped craft,
158
00:07:58,458 --> 00:08:00,000
like we're seeing in this video.
159
00:08:00,125 --> 00:08:02,500
And, in fact, many of the UAPs
160
00:08:02,667 --> 00:08:04,750
that have been reported
in modern times
161
00:08:04,875 --> 00:08:07,250
and that we see in
the recent Navy videos
162
00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:10,167
are very reminiscent
of ancient accounts
163
00:08:10,292 --> 00:08:13,125
of strange objects in the sky,
164
00:08:13,208 --> 00:08:14,500
accounts that you can find
165
00:08:14,625 --> 00:08:17,917
in many ancient cultures
around the world.
166
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:22,708
NARRATOR:
Did people living
thousands of years ago
167
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:25,083
encounter the very same
objects in the sky
168
00:08:25,208 --> 00:08:28,375
that appear in recent
videos and photographs
169
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,750
taken by the U.S. Navy?
170
00:08:31,875 --> 00:08:34,833
And if so, could this indicate
that humans
171
00:08:34,958 --> 00:08:37,208
have been sharing planet Earth
with another race
172
00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:38,500
of intelligent beings
173
00:08:38,625 --> 00:08:41,167
since our earliest history?
174
00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:44,500
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
175
00:08:44,625 --> 00:08:47,042
and suggest further evidence
176
00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:49,292
can be found in India,
177
00:08:49,375 --> 00:08:52,042
within the pages
of one of the world's
178
00:08:52,208 --> 00:08:54,500
oldest texts.

00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:07,000
The crew of a Navy
F-18 fighter jet
181
00:09:07,083 --> 00:09:09,917
fly into restricted air space
and encounter
182
00:09:10,042 --> 00:09:12,917
an airborne object
directly in their flight path.
183
00:09:13,042 --> 00:09:16,750
They aim their forward-looking
infrared camera at the object
184
00:09:16,875 --> 00:09:20,042
and capture it in flight.
185
00:09:20,167 --> 00:09:22,958
F-18s were chasing this thing,
and they couldn't catch it.
186
00:09:23,083 --> 00:09:25,500
The UAP is doing things
187
00:09:25,583 --> 00:09:29,000
that modern aerodynamic
vehicles can't do.
188
00:09:29,083 --> 00:09:32,167
NARRATOR:
The pilots in pursuit of the
unidentified craft,
189
00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:34,958
observed that it performed
unusual maneuvers
190
00:09:35,042 --> 00:09:39,333
unlike any military aircraft
they had ever witnessed.
191
00:09:39,458 --> 00:09:41,375
And all while flying
192
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,417
at high velocities.
193
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:47,000
One of the impressive
aspects of it,
194
00:09:47,125 --> 00:09:48,833
is that it's moving
against the wind,
195
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:50,792
and you can hear
the pilot say this.
196
00:10:00,125 --> 00:10:01,833
CORBELL:
It doesn't lose speed,
and it rotates
197
00:10:01,917 --> 00:10:04,167
mechanically against the wind.
198
00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:06,458
This gimbal footage
199
00:10:06,542 --> 00:10:10,083
is one of the rare pieces
of physical evidence
200
00:10:10,208 --> 00:10:13,792
that is corroborated directly
by individuals who are
201
00:10:13,875 --> 00:10:16,250
out there on the East Coast
documenting these things.
202
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:19,167
It is highly impressive.
203
00:10:21,042 --> 00:10:24,000
Now, modern-day aircraft
can yaw and pitch,
204
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:25,625
and they can roll,
205
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:28,208
but they can't simply
pitch straight up
206
00:10:28,375 --> 00:10:31,167
and continue to move forward
into the line of flight.
207
00:10:31,292 --> 00:10:32,375
This thing does that.
208
00:10:33,792 --> 00:10:35,667
It's moving extremely fast,
209
00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:38,500
and it's accelerating
much faster than the F-18s can.
210
00:10:38,625 --> 00:10:41,000
So that, in itself,
211
00:10:41,125 --> 00:10:43,833
is a feat that mankind
has yet to accomplish.
212
00:10:45,042 --> 00:10:47,333
CORBELL:
We tried to vet this
for a long time.
213
00:10:47,417 --> 00:10:50,667
What's uncomfortable is that
we haven't figured it out.
214
00:10:50,833 --> 00:10:53,833
That we don't know
whose technology this is.
215
00:10:53,917 --> 00:10:57,000
If you can't identify someone
that's far more advanced
216
00:10:57,125 --> 00:11:00,083
than you technologically,
Houston, we have a problem.
217
00:11:01,417 --> 00:11:03,500
NARRATOR:
Navy video of the
incredible encounter
218
00:11:03,667 --> 00:11:06,625
was made public
in December 2017,
219
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:09,875
and the object
was dubbed "GIMBAL"
220
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,500
due to its ability
to rotate on an axis.
221
00:11:14,625 --> 00:11:16,833
But for
ancient astronaut theorists,
222
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,917
just as intriguing as the way
it moves is the object's shape.
223
00:11:22,042 --> 00:11:25,500
The craft itself
is an acorn-shaped craft.
224
00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:27,708
Immediately, that's reminiscent
225
00:11:27,833 --> 00:11:30,000
of the what the ancient
Indian text described as
226
00:11:30,125 --> 00:11:33,000
the vimana, which were
acorn-shaped craft.
227
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:37,667
TSOUKALOS:
In the Mahabharata, and at many
of the ancient Vedic texts,
228
00:11:37,833 --> 00:11:41,333
they speak about
the so-called vimanas.
229
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:43,458
The vimanas were flying vehicles
230
00:11:43,583 --> 00:11:46,125
with which to reach
the celestial realm.
231
00:11:46,208 --> 00:11:49,958
NARRATOR:
In the ancient
Sanskrit epics of India
232
00:11:50,042 --> 00:11:53,042
there are highly detailed
descriptions of the vimana,
233
00:11:53,208 --> 00:11:56,500
which carried the gods
and other important figures
234
00:11:56,625 --> 00:11:58,083
through the sky
235
00:11:58,208 --> 00:12:01,500
and sometimes to other planets.
236
00:12:01,667 --> 00:12:04,042
The acorn-shaped craft
237
00:12:04,208 --> 00:12:08,875
were even incorporated at the
very top of many Hindu temples,
238
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,708
and some researchers believe
239
00:12:11,875 --> 00:12:14,667
they also inspired
similar Buddhist structures
240
00:12:14,833 --> 00:12:17,042
called stupa.
241
00:12:17,167 --> 00:12:20,500
TSOUKALOS:
If we go to Indonesia
and look at Borobudur,
242
00:12:20,667 --> 00:12:23,667
where we have 194 stupas
243
00:12:23,792 --> 00:12:25,500
sitting in concentric circles,
244
00:12:25,583 --> 00:12:27,958
each stupa, in my opinion,
245
00:12:28,042 --> 00:12:30,917
represents a type
of flying craft.
246
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:35,750
Because "stupa" actually means
"celestial chariot,"
247
00:12:35,875 --> 00:12:39,125
or a way with which to reach
the celestial realm.
248
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:43,458
And they are in the shape
of the so-called vimanas.
249
00:12:45,042 --> 00:12:47,833
NARRATOR:
Often, the vimana were
described as war machines,
250
00:12:47,958 --> 00:12:50,417
armed with incredible weapons.
251
00:12:50,542 --> 00:12:53,292
There are tales of flying craft
252
00:12:53,375 --> 00:12:55,000
that could defy gravity
253
00:12:55,125 --> 00:12:58,708
and fly at extraordinary speeds
that defy the laws of physics.
254
00:12:58,833 --> 00:13:02,000
These were military in usage,
255
00:13:02,083 --> 00:13:04,458
had powerful engines
and powerful weapons.
256
00:13:04,583 --> 00:13:06,667
In these battles,
257
00:13:06,833 --> 00:13:09,583
missiles would fire
that could wipe out cities.
258
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:11,875
These were the earliest stories
259
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,875
we have
of flying military craft.
260
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,833
HENRY:
In the Indian text,
261
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,958
the vimanas are the chariots
or craft of the gods.
262
00:13:21,042 --> 00:13:24,250
They were clearly
a method of transportation
263
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:27,000
that could take the gods
from place to place,
264
00:13:27,125 --> 00:13:29,333
country to country,
or even to other planets.
265
00:13:29,458 --> 00:13:33,667
They're sometimes described
as bright clouds.
266
00:13:33,792 --> 00:13:36,458
Some of them
are seven stories tall.
267
00:13:36,542 --> 00:13:39,000
NARRATOR:
In 1895,
268
00:13:39,167 --> 00:13:41,667
Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Talpade
269
00:13:41,792 --> 00:13:45,167
decided to fashion an aircraft
based solely on information
270
00:13:45,292 --> 00:13:47,625
gleaned from the ancient
Indian writings
271
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:50,042
about the vimana.
272
00:13:50,167 --> 00:13:52,500
While the story
is hotly disputed,
273
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:54,250
he allegedly tested the craft
274
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:56,875
in front of an audience
of thousands of people
275
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
on a beach in Bombay.
276
00:13:59,125 --> 00:14:01,917
TAYLOR:
The legend has it
that he flew for,
277
00:14:02,042 --> 00:14:04,375
like, 30 seconds at 1,500 feet.
278
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:08,417
The Wright brothers only went
120 feet for 12 seconds.
279
00:14:08,542 --> 00:14:12,667
But even more exciting
is that this is technology
280
00:14:12,792 --> 00:14:14,958
based on a scripture written
281
00:14:15,042 --> 00:14:17,875
thousands of years before
mankind ever had the idea
282
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,750
of heavier-than-air flight.
283
00:14:19,875 --> 00:14:21,833
How is this possible?
284
00:14:23,208 --> 00:14:25,042
NARRATOR:
According to the Hindu text,
285
00:14:25,208 --> 00:14:27,583
the crafts were mind-controlled,
286
00:14:27,708 --> 00:14:30,333
able to change direction
and pitch
287
00:14:30,458 --> 00:14:32,167
and travel at high speeds,
288
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:36,333
defying our current knowledge
of aeronautical physics.
289
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:39,500
What's really cool is that
these modern-day UFO videos
290
00:14:39,625 --> 00:14:41,833
show that these vehicles
291
00:14:41,917 --> 00:14:45,667
are capable
of ridiculous maneuvers.
292
00:14:45,792 --> 00:14:48,792
That they can accelerate
at the drop of a dime,
293
00:14:48,917 --> 00:14:53,250
or they can just stop
or change direction immediately
294
00:14:53,375 --> 00:14:54,792
at g-forces
295
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:58,208
that we could not survive.
296
00:14:58,375 --> 00:15:02,667
In the Vaimanika Shastra, which
describes what these vimanas
297
00:15:02,792 --> 00:15:04,292
were capable of doing,
298
00:15:04,375 --> 00:15:07,208
the exact same
descriptions exist.
299
00:15:07,375 --> 00:15:11,167
The fact that we have
similar stories in ancient times
300
00:15:11,292 --> 00:15:15,000
illustrates to me
something similar has happened.
301
00:15:15,083 --> 00:15:19,042
NARRATOR:
Could it be that
the ancient Sanskrit texts
302
00:15:19,167 --> 00:15:21,333
are describing
extraterrestrial vehicles
303
00:15:21,458 --> 00:15:24,000
even more advanced
than the U.S. military's
304
00:15:24,125 --> 00:15:26,500
most sophisticated fighter jets?
305
00:15:26,583 --> 00:15:30,708
And if so, are we seeing
the same alien technology
306
00:15:30,833 --> 00:15:32,875
on display in the recent videos
307
00:15:33,042 --> 00:15:35,167
released by
the United States Navy?
308
00:15:35,292 --> 00:15:39,000
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
309
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:41,667
and suggest that this technology
310
00:15:41,750 --> 00:15:43,667
may also be depicted on the wall
311
00:15:43,792 --> 00:15:48,292
of an Egyptian temple that
dates back thousands of years.
312
00:15:58,125 --> 00:15:58,667
NARRATOR:
Dendera, Egypt.
313
00:15:59,958 --> 00:16:01,833
Roughly one and a half
miles southeast
314
00:16:01,958 --> 00:16:05,500
of this ancient city
lies the Temple of Hathor,
315
00:16:05,583 --> 00:16:08,333
one of the most impressive
and well-preserved
316
00:16:08,458 --> 00:16:11,458
archeological sites
in all of Egypt.
317
00:16:11,542 --> 00:16:15,917
Among the vast hieroglyphs that
cover the columns of the temple
318
00:16:16,042 --> 00:16:17,500
are numerous depictions
319
00:16:17,583 --> 00:16:20,083
of pharaohs standing
on mysterious ships
320
00:16:20,208 --> 00:16:23,292
and purportedly traveling
through the stars.
321
00:16:24,792 --> 00:16:26,167
HENRY:
At the Temple of Hathor,
322
00:16:26,250 --> 00:16:30,125
we see a remarkable depiction
of a resurrected pharaoh
323
00:16:30,208 --> 00:16:32,625
standing on what
the ancient Egyptians called
324
00:16:32,708 --> 00:16:34,500
the Ship of Eternity.
325
00:16:34,583 --> 00:16:38,500
This is a-a craft
that was created by Ptah,
326
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:40,458
the ancient Egyptian
god of technology,
327
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:44,500
who the Egyptians connected
with the star Sirius.
328
00:16:44,667 --> 00:16:46,167
In ancient Egypt, we learn of
329
00:16:46,292 --> 00:16:50,500
pharaohs, gods who travelled
the stars riding these craft.
330
00:16:50,625 --> 00:16:53,083
NARRATOR:
According to William Henry,
331
00:16:53,208 --> 00:16:54,833
who has spent decades studying
332
00:16:54,958 --> 00:16:57,292
the ancient
Egyptian iconography,
333
00:16:57,375 --> 00:17:00,167
an important detail found
in some of the depictions
334
00:17:00,292 --> 00:17:02,458
at Dendera and elsewhere
335
00:17:02,542 --> 00:17:06,375
is that the pharaoh is shown
within a circle or bubble.
336
00:17:08,125 --> 00:17:10,000
HENRY:
In another remarkable example,
337
00:17:10,125 --> 00:17:12,083
we see a Pharaoh
sitting on a throne
338
00:17:12,208 --> 00:17:14,667
with Isis and Nephthys
339
00:17:14,833 --> 00:17:16,333
on either side of him,
340
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:20,625
and he's sitting in a blue
bubble or magic bubble.
341
00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:23,250
NARRATOR:
The so-called
"magic bubble" imagery
342
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,250
is found in artwork
throughout the ancient world.
343
00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:29,000
And some researchers speculate
344
00:17:29,083 --> 00:17:30,292
that the repeated connection
345
00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:32,708
between the bubble shape
and ascension
346
00:17:32,875 --> 00:17:35,167
may indicate that it represents
347
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:39,250
a common experience
describing space travel.
348
00:17:39,375 --> 00:17:40,375
Throughout the ancient world,
349
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,875
we find other
very compelling examples
350
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
of beings
surrounded by a bubble.
351
00:17:46,125 --> 00:17:49,333
For example, in Tibet we find
352
00:17:49,417 --> 00:17:52,917
Padmasambhava who sits
on a lotus throne
353
00:17:53,042 --> 00:17:55,250
surrounded
by rainbow-colored light
354
00:17:55,375 --> 00:17:59,208
with a thin line symbolizing
some form of a bubble.
355
00:17:59,375 --> 00:18:02,625
When you see the earliest
examples of Jesus
356
00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:04,208
ascending into the heavens,
357
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:08,167
he's sitting on a throne
surrounded by concentric rings
358
00:18:08,292 --> 00:18:10,875
that form a bubble
around his body.
359
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,375
These are supposed to represent
360
00:18:12,542 --> 00:18:14,875
what the Book of Acts
says he ascended in
361
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
and will return riding upon.
362
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:20,333
TSOUKALOS:
There are countless paintings
363
00:18:20,417 --> 00:18:24,083
of saints and other
celestial beings
364
00:18:24,208 --> 00:18:26,833
that happen to be shown
365
00:18:26,958 --> 00:18:29,333
in some type of
an energetic bubble.
366
00:18:29,417 --> 00:18:32,292
What if people saw something
367
00:18:32,375 --> 00:18:36,167
that surpassed their
technological intellect,
368
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:39,750
and thus drew it in that way?
369
00:18:39,875 --> 00:18:42,750
NARRATOR:
Mainstream historians
interpret the bubble shape
370
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:46,458
found in religious art as simply
symbols of divinity.
371
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:52,000
But could the repetition of this
iconic imagery across traditions
372
00:18:52,083 --> 00:18:56,375
suggest it was something
our ancestors witnessed?
373
00:18:56,500 --> 00:19:00,542
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
374
00:19:00,667 --> 00:19:02,625
and believe further evidence
may be found
375
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:07,208
by taking a closer look at the
recently released GIMBAL video
376
00:19:07,333 --> 00:19:11,208
captured by Navy jets in 2015.
377
00:19:13,417 --> 00:19:16,000
When aerospace engineer
Dr. Travis Taylor
378
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:18,125
examined the GIMBAL video,
379
00:19:18,208 --> 00:19:20,417
he noticed
a very curious anomaly:
380
00:19:20,542 --> 00:19:24,208
a halo of light
surrounding the craft.
381
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:28,542
TAYLOR: After further analysis
of the video,
382
00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:32,833
what we can see is
there is a bubble region
383
00:19:32,958 --> 00:19:35,292
that sort of surrounds
this craft.
384
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:37,417
This is something
that you don't see
385
00:19:37,542 --> 00:19:39,042
when you look through
the same instrument
386
00:19:39,208 --> 00:19:42,417
at, say, an F-18 or an F-22
or an F-35.
387
00:19:42,542 --> 00:19:46,167
Black is hot on their
forward-looking infrared camera.
388
00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:48,500
And if black is hot,
then white is cooler,
389
00:19:48,583 --> 00:19:51,375
so this is a colder region
around the vehicle.
390
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,250
So, maybe
391
00:19:53,375 --> 00:19:56,125
this is a warp bubble
392
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:58,833
or some sort of propellant-less
propulsion field
393
00:19:58,958 --> 00:20:00,333
that someone has discovered.
394
00:20:00,458 --> 00:20:02,833
NARRATOR:
The concept of a warp bubble
395
00:20:02,958 --> 00:20:05,292
was introduced in 1994
396
00:20:05,375 --> 00:20:08,042
by Mexican physicist
Miguel Alcubierre,
397
00:20:08,167 --> 00:20:09,958
as part of a hypothetical model
398
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:12,292
for traveling faster
than the speed of light.
399
00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:15,292
MICHIO KAKU:
I once asked Miguel Alcubierre
400
00:20:15,417 --> 00:20:19,000
how he came up with the idea
of the Alcubierre drive.
401
00:20:19,125 --> 00:20:21,375
He told me that he was
watching Star Trek.
402
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:24,292
And in Star Trek, they,
well, compress the space
403
00:20:24,417 --> 00:20:27,083
in front of them and expand
the space behind them
404
00:20:27,208 --> 00:20:29,625
and would rocket faster
than the speed of light.
405
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:31,875
And then he said,
"Well, wait a minute.
406
00:20:32,042 --> 00:20:33,583
I think I can duplicate that."
407
00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:37,667
NARRATOR:
In Alcubierre's
theoretical model,
408
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:41,042
the warp drive vehicle is
surrounded by an energy bubble
409
00:20:41,167 --> 00:20:42,500
within space-time.
410
00:20:42,625 --> 00:20:44,667
KAKU:
You need energy
to create a bubble,
411
00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:48,125
what's called a warp bubble,
surrounding your starship.
412
00:20:48,208 --> 00:20:50,500
Then you need what is called
negative energy
413
00:20:50,625 --> 00:20:53,292
to drive it faster
than the speed of light,
414
00:20:53,375 --> 00:20:56,458
while inside,
you feel almost nothing.
415
00:20:56,583 --> 00:20:58,167
HENRY:
When we look at the idea
416
00:20:58,333 --> 00:20:59,958
of a warp bubble
417
00:21:00,042 --> 00:21:01,958
that could surround
a spacecraft,
418
00:21:02,042 --> 00:21:04,458
in the video,
engineers are seeing
419
00:21:04,542 --> 00:21:07,500
exactly that principle
in action.
420
00:21:07,625 --> 00:21:10,375
As far as
ancient astronaut theorists
421
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:13,375
are concerned,
warp bubble technology
422
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,833
could be on display
not only in the GIMBAL video,
423
00:21:16,958 --> 00:21:21,083
but also in artwork
created centuries ago,
424
00:21:21,208 --> 00:21:23,250
like the pharaoh's blue bubble,
425
00:21:23,375 --> 00:21:26,042
the Tibetan lotus throne,
426
00:21:26,208 --> 00:21:29,000
the ascension of Christ,
427
00:21:29,083 --> 00:21:31,417
and countless other
sacred images
428
00:21:31,542 --> 00:21:34,667
that seemingly show
identical phenomena.
429
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:36,583
TSOUKALOS:
So, you have to wonder,
430
00:21:36,708 --> 00:21:40,375
what is it that the artist
tried to depict here?
431
00:21:40,542 --> 00:21:43,000
It's just like
Arthur C. Clarke said,
432
00:21:43,167 --> 00:21:48,042
"Any advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic."
433
00:21:48,167 --> 00:21:50,417
HENRY:
These are powerful examples
434
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:52,417
that are suggesting
ascended beings
435
00:21:52,542 --> 00:21:55,250
who traveled the stars
in magic bubbles
436
00:21:55,375 --> 00:21:57,292
that precisely matches
437
00:21:57,375 --> 00:22:00,375
the Alcubierre
warp bubble concept.
438
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:03,542
TAYLOR:
Could these ancient drawings
be showing us
439
00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:06,292
the same thing
that we're seeing today
440
00:22:06,375 --> 00:22:08,500
in these modern-day
infrared cameras?
441
00:22:11,208 --> 00:22:12,833
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that depictions
442
00:22:12,958 --> 00:22:15,583
of figures encompassed
by bubbles found
443
00:22:15,708 --> 00:22:18,875
throughout history
and all around the world
444
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,500
represent an alien technology?
445
00:22:22,583 --> 00:22:25,375
Perhaps further clues
can be found
446
00:22:25,542 --> 00:22:28,750
by examining another
extraordinary Navy video
447
00:22:28,875 --> 00:22:30,708
and its direct connection
448
00:22:30,875 --> 00:22:32,417
to the ancient world.
449
00:22:43,958 --> 00:22:47,167
NARRATOR:
Veteran journalist George Knapp
450
00:22:47,292 --> 00:22:50,167
and documentary filmmaker
Jeremy Corbell
451
00:22:50,292 --> 00:22:54,375
publish astonishing video
they acquired from the USS Omaha
452
00:22:54,542 --> 00:22:57,667
that shows a mysterious
spherical object
453
00:22:57,750 --> 00:23:01,583
flying at speeds approaching
160 miles per hour
454
00:23:01,708 --> 00:23:04,083
before disappearing
into the ocean.
455
00:23:06,833 --> 00:23:11,333
The USS Omaha is one of
the central pieces of evidence
456
00:23:11,458 --> 00:23:14,083
that I've put forward to
the American and global public.
457
00:23:14,208 --> 00:23:18,167
There were objects that were
swarming this Navy warship,
458
00:23:18,292 --> 00:23:19,542
and one in particular
459
00:23:19,667 --> 00:23:22,292
appears to transcend
460
00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:24,792
between the space of air
and into sea.
461
00:23:24,875 --> 00:23:27,333
They call that
a trans-medium vehicle,
462
00:23:27,458 --> 00:23:29,750
a vehicle that can operate
equally as well
463
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:32,583
from in the air
and under the water.
464
00:23:32,708 --> 00:23:34,875
Now, this was suspected,
465
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,208
but when they went
to go look for this craft
466
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:40,417
under the water,
or for wreckage,
467
00:23:40,542 --> 00:23:41,917
none was found.
468
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:47,000
NARRATOR:
Tennessee representative
Tim Burchett,
469
00:23:47,167 --> 00:23:50,708
an outspoken proponent
for disclosure of UFO sightings,
470
00:23:50,833 --> 00:23:55,333
was one of the first members of
Congress to review the footage.
471
00:23:55,458 --> 00:23:57,167
TIM BURCHETT:
To me, i-it's pretty astounding
472
00:23:57,333 --> 00:23:59,000
when they showed
that craft actually
473
00:23:59,167 --> 00:24:00,500
going in and it popping up.
474
00:24:00,625 --> 00:24:02,083
It looked like
it didn't even slow down.
475
00:24:02,208 --> 00:24:03,625
There wasn't any friction at all
476
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:05,958
when it hit the water,
so, to me, that's something
477
00:24:06,083 --> 00:24:08,333
that we can't even begin
to understand, I don't think.
478
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:10,958
I've read the mathematical
equations of friction
479
00:24:11,083 --> 00:24:13,542
and things like that, and
it just defies all of that.
480
00:24:14,875 --> 00:24:16,333
TAYLOR:
How could a vehicle
481
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,000
fly into the water
at 100 miles per hour?
482
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:23,000
Well, that suggests either
the surface of this vehicle
483
00:24:23,083 --> 00:24:24,542
is frictionless,
484
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:26,875
and it wouldn't have
any interaction
485
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,583
with any material
it was flying through,
486
00:24:29,708 --> 00:24:32,875
or it's not frictionless,
it's actually a warp bubble
487
00:24:33,042 --> 00:24:36,208
where the spacecraft
or craft is inside it.
488
00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:40,333
The stresses and strains by
flying through the atmosphere
489
00:24:40,458 --> 00:24:42,833
in outer space and then
plunging into the oceans
490
00:24:42,958 --> 00:24:46,583
would be enough to rupture
any of our known aircraft.
491
00:24:47,708 --> 00:24:50,583
POPE:
These reports of USOs,
492
00:24:50,708 --> 00:24:55,750
unidentified submerged
or submersible objects,
493
00:24:55,875 --> 00:24:58,917
are much more common
than people might suppose.
494
00:24:59,042 --> 00:25:01,167
In 1991,
495
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,292
Jing Yu Xian, a fisherman
496
00:25:03,417 --> 00:25:05,458
was at Fuxian Lake
497
00:25:05,542 --> 00:25:08,333
when he encountered
this strange craft
498
00:25:08,458 --> 00:25:10,958
in the waters of the lake.
499
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:13,875
He described it
as a shining disc.
500
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,417
This UFO was so close
and so powerful
501
00:25:18,542 --> 00:25:20,958
that it actually tossed
the boat around.
502
00:25:22,917 --> 00:25:26,792
And then rapidly this craft just
disappeared up into the sky.
503
00:25:26,875 --> 00:25:31,125
Over the years, there have
been many, many cases
504
00:25:31,250 --> 00:25:33,500
of UFOs seen over the water,
505
00:25:33,583 --> 00:25:36,042
disappearing under the water,
506
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:40,292
and in some cases,
emerging from under the water.
507
00:25:40,417 --> 00:25:43,792
CHILDRESS:
On December 29, 2020,
508
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:46,500
a very curious thing
happened off of the coast
509
00:25:46,625 --> 00:25:47,958
of Hawaii.
510
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:53,417
People could see a huge
cigar-shaped craft
511
00:25:53,542 --> 00:25:55,667
hovering off the coast
512
00:25:55,792 --> 00:25:58,167
and took photos of it, and,
513
00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:02,333
eventually, this craft
then plunged into the ocean.
514
00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:05,042
And the Navy
went out there to also
515
00:26:05,167 --> 00:26:07,750
look for possible wreckage
of some craft
516
00:26:07,875 --> 00:26:10,208
crashing into the ocean
and found nothing.
517
00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:15,458
POPE:
One theory about this
trans-medium travel
518
00:26:15,583 --> 00:26:18,833
and these USOs is that
what we're seeing
519
00:26:18,917 --> 00:26:21,583
is evidence of underwater bases.
520
00:26:21,708 --> 00:26:24,875
Now, this makes
a good deal of sense.
521
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,708
I mean, the distance involved
522
00:26:27,833 --> 00:26:29,917
for interstellar travel
523
00:26:30,042 --> 00:26:32,833
means that it's much easier
to have a base
524
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,458
on the location
that you're interested in
525
00:26:35,542 --> 00:26:38,542
than to constantly travel
there and back.
526
00:26:38,708 --> 00:26:42,500
But what if that presence
goes back millennia?
527
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:45,250
They're operating here,
but under the oceans,
528
00:26:45,375 --> 00:26:48,667
right under our noses.
529
00:26:48,792 --> 00:26:52,000
HENRY: When we see the spherical
object in the video taken by
530
00:26:52,167 --> 00:26:55,500
the USS Omaha
hovering for a time
531
00:26:55,583 --> 00:26:57,250
and then descending
into the water,
532
00:26:57,375 --> 00:27:00,625
this opens up some
really interesting concepts
533
00:27:00,750 --> 00:27:02,125
in relation
to the ancient world.
534
00:27:02,208 --> 00:27:05,542
For example,
in Sumeria and in Babylon,
535
00:27:05,708 --> 00:27:08,417
they talked about a god
being named Oannes
536
00:27:08,542 --> 00:27:10,167
who lived in the sea,
537
00:27:10,292 --> 00:27:14,375
who emerged from the sea
wearing a fish cloak.
538
00:27:14,542 --> 00:27:16,333
He was, uh, an initiator
of humanity,
539
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:19,500
who taught writing and science
and-and other concepts.
540
00:27:19,583 --> 00:27:22,292
What's amazing about this
is that Oannes
541
00:27:22,375 --> 00:27:24,000
also founded a priesthood
542
00:27:24,125 --> 00:27:26,875
of beings called
Apkallu priests,
543
00:27:27,042 --> 00:27:29,000
who also wore fish cloaks.
544
00:27:29,125 --> 00:27:31,250
And in Sumerian cylinder seals,
545
00:27:31,375 --> 00:27:33,417
we see these Apkallu priests
546
00:27:33,542 --> 00:27:36,833
on either side of a luminous
or radiant tree of life
547
00:27:36,958 --> 00:27:39,250
with a winged disc
hovering above.
548
00:27:39,375 --> 00:27:44,167
The inference is-is that
this craft came from the sea
549
00:27:44,292 --> 00:27:47,542
because these are priests
of a sea being.
550
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:50,167
And so, here's an example
of an ancient being
551
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:53,167
emerging from the sea
and connected with a craft.
552
00:27:54,542 --> 00:27:57,833
NARRATOR:
Oannes belonged to a group
of powerful beings
553
00:27:57,958 --> 00:28:01,333
known in ancient Mesopotamia
as the Anunnaki.
554
00:28:01,417 --> 00:28:03,667
The term Anunnaki means
555
00:28:03,833 --> 00:28:06,833
"those who
from the heavens came,"
556
00:28:06,958 --> 00:28:09,083
and refers to beings
557
00:28:09,208 --> 00:28:12,833
descending from the sky,
imparting knowledge.
558
00:28:12,958 --> 00:28:16,667
That is the most important thing
that we can read and learn
559
00:28:16,792 --> 00:28:20,875
about the Anunnaki,
that they were our teachers.
560
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
So, I think it's very possible
561
00:28:23,167 --> 00:28:25,625
that what the ancient
people tried to record
562
00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:27,917
was an extraterrestrial
visitation.
563
00:28:29,333 --> 00:28:31,333
NARRATOR:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
564
00:28:31,458 --> 00:28:34,750
perhaps the most compelling
evidence of an alien presence
565
00:28:34,875 --> 00:28:36,833
that traverses Earth's oceans
566
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,625
can be found in an account
from 1492,
567
00:28:40,750 --> 00:28:43,083
recorded by
Christopher Columbus.
568
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:46,875
CHILDRESS:
It's a famous story
about Christopher Columbus,
569
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
and he wrote this
in his journals,
570
00:28:49,083 --> 00:28:52,792
that as he was moving west
across the Atlantic
571
00:28:52,875 --> 00:28:55,375
towards the Caribbean
in his first voyage,
572
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,542
he saw a light out in the ocean
573
00:28:58,667 --> 00:29:02,042
to the west hovering
over the water,
574
00:29:02,208 --> 00:29:06,042
and this light then descended
into the water,
575
00:29:06,167 --> 00:29:09,250
but Columbus felt that
this light was guiding him
576
00:29:09,375 --> 00:29:11,042
towards his destination.
577
00:29:11,208 --> 00:29:15,833
So, if this glowing object
that Columbus saw did,
578
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,750
you know, go into the water,
579
00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:21,125
he's perhaps one of
the first witnesses to describe
580
00:29:21,208 --> 00:29:23,583
a trans-medium craft like this,
581
00:29:23,708 --> 00:29:26,250
which could hover, uh,
above the water
582
00:29:26,375 --> 00:29:28,333
and then disappear into it
like a submarine.
583
00:29:28,458 --> 00:29:31,958
NARRATOR:
Could the account
of Christopher Columbus
584
00:29:32,083 --> 00:29:35,000
and the ancient Babylonian
stories of Oannes
585
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:36,667
have a profound connection
586
00:29:36,792 --> 00:29:40,375
to the object recorded
from the USS Omaha?
587
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:44,458
Do they provide further evidence
that the same crafts witnessed
588
00:29:44,542 --> 00:29:49,000
in the distant past are still
visiting Earth in the present?
589
00:29:50,208 --> 00:29:53,167
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
590
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:55,833
and believe the ultimate
proof of this
591
00:29:55,958 --> 00:29:59,083
can be found
in the Hebrew Bible.
592
00:30:10,458 --> 00:30:12,958
NARRATOR:
Just outside
the Capitol Building,
593
00:30:13,083 --> 00:30:15,333
Congressman Tim Burchett
of Tennessee
594
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:16,833
speaks with a reporter
595
00:30:16,958 --> 00:30:19,875
about the much-anticipated
government UAP report,
596
00:30:20,042 --> 00:30:22,833
due to be released
in less than two weeks.
597
00:30:22,958 --> 00:30:24,875
To the surprise of many,
598
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,833
he suggests that UFOs
599
00:30:26,958 --> 00:30:29,333
have been around
for all of human history,
600
00:30:29,458 --> 00:30:30,750
and can even be found
601
00:30:30,875 --> 00:30:33,583
in the Bible's Book of Ezekiel.
602
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:35,000
POPE:
I was intrigued
603
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:37,708
when I heard that
Congressional representative
604
00:30:37,833 --> 00:30:41,458
Tim Burchett had talked
about these UFOs
605
00:30:41,542 --> 00:30:43,750
and said, "Well, this is
straight out of the Bible.
606
00:30:43,875 --> 00:30:45,458
This is the Book of Ezekiel."
607
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:47,333
And I thought, "My goodness,
608
00:30:47,458 --> 00:30:49,417
he's an ancient
astronaut theorist."
609
00:30:51,583 --> 00:30:54,458
CORBELL:
We have seen a lot
of unsolicited comments
610
00:30:54,583 --> 00:30:56,667
by congressmen, politicians,
611
00:30:56,750 --> 00:30:59,125
uh, even heads of the CIA
612
00:30:59,208 --> 00:31:02,833
have come forward
and given opinions about UFOs.
613
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,958
This has been such a shocking
614
00:31:05,042 --> 00:31:08,042
and revelatory few years
about UFOs
615
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:10,792
that you're now seeing people
go back to the Bible
616
00:31:10,917 --> 00:31:13,250
and trying to understand
if those events
617
00:31:13,375 --> 00:31:15,375
are similar to the events
that we're having today.
618
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:18,542
NARRATOR:
Congressman Burchett's
bold assertion
619
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:21,125
that UFOs can be found
in the Bible
620
00:31:21,208 --> 00:31:24,000
was a conclusion he came to
after careful study
621
00:31:24,083 --> 00:31:25,958
of the Book of Ezekiel.
622
00:31:27,542 --> 00:31:29,125
According to this text,
623
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:33,083
the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel
describes a fiery chariot
624
00:31:33,208 --> 00:31:37,917
coming down from the sky
drawn by four living creatures.
625
00:31:38,042 --> 00:31:41,500
Each creature is flanked
by a metallic object,
626
00:31:41,583 --> 00:31:45,042
a wheel within a wheel,
that Ezekiel observes
627
00:31:45,167 --> 00:31:48,625
as it descends in a whirlwind
making tremendous noise.
628
00:31:48,708 --> 00:31:51,625
BURCHETT:
It's pretty clear
what's going on in the Bible,
629
00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:53,333
what he's describing, to me.
630
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:56,167
I've read it many times.
You got to realize,
631
00:31:56,292 --> 00:31:59,167
Ezekiel was
in sixth century BC,
632
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,292
but he basically describes
633
00:32:01,375 --> 00:32:04,417
what I would say was what
people describe as a UFO.
634
00:32:04,542 --> 00:32:06,000
I mean, it's a wheel
within a wheel,
635
00:32:06,125 --> 00:32:07,333
there's fire,
there's landing gear.
636
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:10,792
To me, it sounds like
there's a craft landing,
637
00:32:10,875 --> 00:32:13,042
and there are
smaller craft around it
638
00:32:13,167 --> 00:32:15,125
that are providing
protection for it.
639
00:32:15,208 --> 00:32:18,208
And, you know, it's what we see
640
00:32:18,333 --> 00:32:20,375
when you see the president
land in a helicopter.
641
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,875
There's not just one helicopter,
there's multiple helicopters.
642
00:32:23,042 --> 00:32:25,167
So, to me, it sounds like
643
00:32:25,333 --> 00:32:28,000
Ezekiel saw something that he
could not accurately describe,
644
00:32:28,125 --> 00:32:30,417
and he used things around him
645
00:32:30,542 --> 00:32:32,708
that he would see
in a day-to-day basis
646
00:32:32,875 --> 00:32:34,542
to describe what he saw.
647
00:32:34,708 --> 00:32:38,250
The closest thing he has is a
wheel because that was the, uh,
648
00:32:38,375 --> 00:32:41,333
pinnacle of technology
at that time, was a wheel.
649
00:32:41,458 --> 00:32:44,583
NARRATOR:
To Congressman Burchett
and many others,
650
00:32:44,708 --> 00:32:46,667
the Navy videos indicate
651
00:32:46,833 --> 00:32:48,667
that crafts like those
seen by Ezekiel
652
00:32:48,750 --> 00:32:51,167
are still with us
in the present.
653
00:32:51,292 --> 00:32:53,958
BURCHETT:
I think it's the same type
of thing that's being depicted,
654
00:32:54,042 --> 00:32:56,250
in olden times
that's being depicted today
655
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:59,000
in some of those Navy tapes.
656
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:01,167
There's just too much similarity
for it not to be.
657
00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:04,958
If you heard those Navy pilots,
they're the sharpest we've got.
658
00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:08,542
BURCHETT:
You can tell they're excited,
659
00:33:08,667 --> 00:33:10,792
and they're trying to explain
what they're seeing,
660
00:33:10,875 --> 00:33:14,458
much like Ezekiel would try
to define what he was seeing.
661
00:33:14,583 --> 00:33:18,083
And so, I think that, um,
that it-it proves that
662
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:20,208
we're definitely not alone.
663
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:23,417
NARRATOR:
To many UFO researchers,
664
00:33:23,542 --> 00:33:26,000
the only difference
between ancient sightings
665
00:33:26,083 --> 00:33:29,583
like Ezekiel's and modern
21st-century encounters
666
00:33:29,708 --> 00:33:31,500
is that, today,
people have the technology
667
00:33:31,625 --> 00:33:33,833
-to record them.
-(camera shutter clicks)
668
00:33:33,958 --> 00:33:37,167
CORBELL:
We have seen throughout history
669
00:33:37,292 --> 00:33:39,667
that individuals will testify
670
00:33:39,792 --> 00:33:43,083
to seeing in the sky,
you know, shields on fire,
671
00:33:43,208 --> 00:33:46,042
or things that just
are not aerodynamic.
672
00:33:46,167 --> 00:33:50,250
Now, because of the-the nature
of our technology
673
00:33:50,375 --> 00:33:51,792
and our corroborative evidence,
674
00:33:51,917 --> 00:33:54,542
we have more information to say,
675
00:33:54,708 --> 00:33:58,333
"Yes, this happened exactly like
this witness said it happened."
676
00:33:58,458 --> 00:34:01,333
We just didn't have that
150 years ago.
677
00:34:01,417 --> 00:34:02,875
We just didn't have
that capability.
678
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,500
The difference now is that we
are able to artificially capture
679
00:34:07,625 --> 00:34:12,875
these craft and these
objects to a precise measuring
680
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,917
of the rotation and the speeds.
681
00:34:15,042 --> 00:34:17,167
That is just something
we did not have before.
682
00:34:17,292 --> 00:34:20,667
We did not have it before,
but we have it now, so it's...
683
00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:23,167
I mean, kind of an exciting time
to be alive. (chuckles)
684
00:34:24,667 --> 00:34:27,750
TSOUKALOS:
Countless times our ancestors
referred to these things
685
00:34:27,875 --> 00:34:31,208
up in the sky as flying shields
686
00:34:31,333 --> 00:34:33,417
or flying furnaces.
687
00:34:33,542 --> 00:34:38,000
Today, we actually refer to that
as flying craft,
688
00:34:38,083 --> 00:34:42,042
flying machines,
unidentified aerial phenomena.
689
00:34:42,167 --> 00:34:45,875
Back then,
people didn't have those words.
690
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:48,000
And so, in my opinion,
691
00:34:48,125 --> 00:34:51,000
there is a clear
connection between
692
00:34:51,125 --> 00:34:53,333
the sightings that we have today
693
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:55,500
and the sightings
that we have in the past
694
00:34:55,667 --> 00:34:59,042
because if we would not have
the vocabulary,
695
00:34:59,167 --> 00:35:01,375
what we see in those Navy videos
696
00:35:01,542 --> 00:35:04,875
can be described
as a flying shield.
697
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,125
These kinds of images
have been with us
698
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:10,417
throughout our entire history,
699
00:35:10,542 --> 00:35:15,250
and they're all telling
the same thing,
700
00:35:15,375 --> 00:35:19,208
that the ancient astronauts
never left.
701
00:35:19,333 --> 00:35:22,000
The same visitors
that we've had back then
702
00:35:22,125 --> 00:35:24,792
are showing themselves again,
703
00:35:24,875 --> 00:35:26,792
and this time publicly.
704
00:35:26,917 --> 00:35:28,208
It's incredible.
705
00:35:30,208 --> 00:35:31,500
NARRATOR:
As the photographic and video
706
00:35:31,583 --> 00:35:35,000
evidence of UFOs
continues to grow,
707
00:35:35,167 --> 00:35:37,750
so, too, does the
number of people
708
00:35:37,875 --> 00:35:39,833
who believe that governments
around the world
709
00:35:39,958 --> 00:35:42,417
know more than they
are disclosing.
710
00:35:42,542 --> 00:35:45,625
POPE: The idea that there's
an alien presence, and the idea
711
00:35:45,708 --> 00:35:48,000
that the U.S. government,
amongst others,
712
00:35:48,125 --> 00:35:49,833
knows about all this
713
00:35:49,917 --> 00:35:53,083
is coming out of the fringe
and into the mainstream.
714
00:35:53,208 --> 00:35:56,333
Now, you hear of people
in Congress talk about it.
715
00:35:56,417 --> 00:35:58,917
We do not need to fear
these-these airborne
716
00:35:59,042 --> 00:36:00,417
unidentified objects.
717
00:36:00,542 --> 00:36:02,167
They would've shown themselves
to be dangerous
718
00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:04,417
a long time ago by now
if they were a threat.
719
00:36:04,542 --> 00:36:07,292
BURCHETT:
I wished our
intelligence community
720
00:36:07,375 --> 00:36:09,417
would release everything
they have on that.
721
00:36:09,542 --> 00:36:11,667
The higher-ups put out
a lot that some
722
00:36:11,833 --> 00:36:15,125
of these recent tapes were just
sort of a joke, was an anomaly,
723
00:36:15,208 --> 00:36:17,333
but we sure have had
a heck of a lot of anomalies.
724
00:36:17,458 --> 00:36:20,083
I think there's a lot more
going on to this.
725
00:36:20,208 --> 00:36:21,750
I've talked to
military and people
726
00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:24,708
that, when something like this
happens, they are generally
727
00:36:24,875 --> 00:36:27,083
told not to bring it up.
728
00:36:27,208 --> 00:36:29,250
They can have psych evaluations,
729
00:36:29,375 --> 00:36:31,333
they can have things
put in their records,
730
00:36:31,417 --> 00:36:34,458
and they're encouraged not to
bring these kind of things up.
731
00:36:34,542 --> 00:36:37,125
NARRATOR:
If the United States government
732
00:36:37,208 --> 00:36:39,583
and other governments
around the world
733
00:36:39,708 --> 00:36:44,167
were to reveal all the evidence
they have concerning UFOs,
734
00:36:44,292 --> 00:36:47,125
would it show irrefutable proof
735
00:36:47,208 --> 00:36:50,167
that there is an alien
air force on Earth?
736
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:52,583
Ancient astronaut theorists
737
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:56,083
suspect the truth
is even more incredible,
738
00:36:56,208 --> 00:36:59,583
and that hidden away
in top-secret facilities
739
00:36:59,708 --> 00:37:00,583
around the globe
740
00:37:00,708 --> 00:37:04,458
are recovered
extraterrestrial craft.
741
00:37:13,708 --> 00:37:16,625
NARRATOR:
NASA's Advanced
Propulsion Physics Lab,
742
00:37:16,708 --> 00:37:18,875
known as the
"Eagleworks Project,"
743
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,917
announces that, based on
their latest experiments,
744
00:37:22,042 --> 00:37:23,417
they now believe it is possible
745
00:37:23,542 --> 00:37:25,667
to create an actual warp drive
746
00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:31,000
and a spacecraft that can travel
faster than the speed of light.
747
00:37:31,125 --> 00:37:32,833
TAYLOR:
The team at NASA's Eagleworks
748
00:37:32,917 --> 00:37:36,542
has been trying to reproduce
a warp field, and
749
00:37:36,708 --> 00:37:38,917
the results have been
right at the edge
750
00:37:39,042 --> 00:37:40,667
of experimental error right now.
751
00:37:40,750 --> 00:37:42,792
So, they're not ready to go
build the Starship Enterprise,
752
00:37:42,875 --> 00:37:45,792
but it's possible that
they can do an experiment
753
00:37:45,917 --> 00:37:48,917
that says we could build
the Starship Enterprise
754
00:37:49,042 --> 00:37:50,208
if we put enough work into it.
755
00:37:50,375 --> 00:37:52,000
NARRATOR:
While some believe
756
00:37:52,083 --> 00:37:54,167
that such
a revolutionary technology
757
00:37:54,333 --> 00:37:57,833
is purely the result
of human ingenuity,
758
00:37:57,917 --> 00:38:01,333
others maintain that
such advances are possible
759
00:38:01,417 --> 00:38:04,375
because secret
government agencies possess,
760
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:08,375
and are able to study,
crashed alien vehicles.
761
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:11,833
It is a theory that
goes back to the famous
762
00:38:11,958 --> 00:38:15,292
Roswell crash of 1947.
763
00:38:15,375 --> 00:38:18,500
BURCHETT:
Roswell happened in '47.
Roswell, New Mexico.
764
00:38:18,625 --> 00:38:20,500
They put out,
you know, UFO crash,
765
00:38:20,625 --> 00:38:22,292
and it was on the headlines
of the papers.
766
00:38:22,375 --> 00:38:25,042
Then, the next day,
they came back and said,
767
00:38:25,208 --> 00:38:26,708
"No, in fact,
it was a weather balloon."
768
00:38:26,833 --> 00:38:30,250
And it just contradicted
everything everybody had said.
769
00:38:32,375 --> 00:38:34,667
NARRATOR:
Many have alleged
that the U.S. government
770
00:38:34,792 --> 00:38:36,833
secretly retrieved
an alien spacecraft
771
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,792
from Roswell.
772
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:41,000
In 1989,
773
00:38:41,083 --> 00:38:44,792
a scientist named Bob Lazar
even came forward to say
774
00:38:44,875 --> 00:38:46,708
that he worked
for the U.S. government
775
00:38:46,833 --> 00:38:50,500
reverse engineering crashed
extraterrestrial vehicles,
776
00:38:50,625 --> 00:38:52,667
divulging incredible details
777
00:38:52,792 --> 00:38:56,542
about the secret project
in the years that followed.
778
00:38:56,708 --> 00:39:00,500
The government is holding, uh,
nine alien spacecraft,
779
00:39:00,625 --> 00:39:05,000
um, that are propelled by, um,
780
00:39:05,125 --> 00:39:06,917
a modified gravity generator.
781
00:39:07,042 --> 00:39:09,250
Uh...
782
00:39:09,375 --> 00:39:11,042
It's being-- the work
is being conducted
783
00:39:11,167 --> 00:39:12,500
15 miles south of Groom Lake.
784
00:39:13,167 --> 00:39:15,708
CORBELL:
The only reason
you know about UFOs
785
00:39:15,875 --> 00:39:17,333
and Area 51
786
00:39:17,417 --> 00:39:20,667
and that connection
is because of Bob Lazar.
787
00:39:21,917 --> 00:39:24,792
He was faced with a lot
of adversity through this.
788
00:39:24,875 --> 00:39:26,000
But, in my eyes,
789
00:39:26,125 --> 00:39:27,333
he's telling you the truth,
790
00:39:27,458 --> 00:39:30,375
and it's backed up
time and time again.
791
00:39:31,625 --> 00:39:32,833
NARRATOR:
For decades,
792
00:39:32,917 --> 00:39:35,667
the U.S. government
denied Lazar's claims,
793
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:37,917
as well as the existence
of the facility
794
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:41,000
where he said the alien craft
were being held,
795
00:39:41,125 --> 00:39:42,958
Area 51.
796
00:39:43,708 --> 00:39:46,208
But in 2013,
797
00:39:46,333 --> 00:39:48,417
a Freedom
of Information Act request
798
00:39:48,542 --> 00:39:50,417
finally forced
officials to admit
799
00:39:50,542 --> 00:39:53,500
that Area 51 is real.
800
00:39:54,417 --> 00:39:56,500
BURCHETT:
For the government to say
801
00:39:56,625 --> 00:39:58,792
the things they say
and to hold back
802
00:39:58,917 --> 00:40:00,000
on these reports,
803
00:40:00,083 --> 00:40:04,583
it goes back to Roswell
or any of those other...
804
00:40:04,708 --> 00:40:07,000
spots. It's just,
um, nobody trusts
805
00:40:07,083 --> 00:40:08,792
the government.
They don't trust government,
806
00:40:08,875 --> 00:40:10,500
and they really, frankly,
they shouldn't.
807
00:40:10,625 --> 00:40:12,500
We-we don't keep
our word on anything.
808
00:40:13,792 --> 00:40:16,333
NARRATOR:
The United States
isn't the only country
809
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:19,625
accused of covering up attempts
to study alien craft.
810
00:40:21,042 --> 00:40:24,208
Many believe the Russians
have a similar UFO program
811
00:40:24,333 --> 00:40:26,250
at a site called Kapustin Yar,
812
00:40:26,375 --> 00:40:30,000
often nicknamed
the Russian Area 51.
813
00:40:30,167 --> 00:40:33,625
HENRY:
Kapustin Yar was one
of the former Soviet Union's
814
00:40:33,708 --> 00:40:35,000
most secretive air bases.
815
00:40:35,083 --> 00:40:38,208
The rumor is, is they were
reverse engineering
816
00:40:38,375 --> 00:40:39,833
UFO technology
817
00:40:39,917 --> 00:40:43,083
that could be as much
as 1,000 years in advance
818
00:40:43,208 --> 00:40:44,500
of what we have today.
819
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,333
NARRATOR:
Recovered alien vehicles
are also rumored to be held
820
00:40:49,417 --> 00:40:52,542
at the Pine Gap military base
in Australia,
821
00:40:52,708 --> 00:40:55,375
at a mysterious desert airfield
822
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:57,792
in the Xinjiang region of China,
823
00:40:57,875 --> 00:41:01,333
and at Rudloe Manor in England.
824
00:41:01,458 --> 00:41:05,000
With these craft coming
from other planets
825
00:41:05,125 --> 00:41:06,375
and other solar systems,
826
00:41:06,542 --> 00:41:09,500
this is clearly a very
advanced technology,
827
00:41:09,625 --> 00:41:12,583
and we are now
trying to catch up
828
00:41:12,708 --> 00:41:14,333
to these extraterrestrials
829
00:41:14,458 --> 00:41:16,583
and have the same kind
of technology
830
00:41:16,708 --> 00:41:17,958
that they already have.
831
00:41:18,042 --> 00:41:20,000
BURCHETT:
It's clear that
there's something
832
00:41:20,125 --> 00:41:21,167
we don't understand,
833
00:41:21,333 --> 00:41:22,583
and we're not sure
where it comes from,
834
00:41:22,708 --> 00:41:24,083
and I just wish
they'd just say that.
835
00:41:24,208 --> 00:41:27,125
They think that the American
public can't handle it,
836
00:41:27,208 --> 00:41:29,333
and they can, in fact,
handle it, I think, very well.
837
00:41:29,458 --> 00:41:33,333
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
the sensational footage
838
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,500
recently released
by the U.S. Navy
839
00:41:35,667 --> 00:41:38,833
features the same type
of aerial vehicles
840
00:41:38,958 --> 00:41:41,500
that were documented
by our ancestors?
841
00:41:41,583 --> 00:41:44,542
Do we now have
overwhelming evidence
842
00:41:44,667 --> 00:41:47,750
that alien craft not only exist,
843
00:41:47,875 --> 00:41:50,167
but have been present
on planet Earth
844
00:41:50,250 --> 00:41:52,375
for thousands of years?
845
00:41:52,542 --> 00:41:54,708
Perhaps, when we
discover just who
846
00:41:54,833 --> 00:41:57,500
is behind the UFO phenomenon,
847
00:41:57,625 --> 00:42:00,792
we will uncover
an even more profound truth,
848
00:42:00,875 --> 00:42:05,250
that extraterrestrials
have been living among us
849
00:42:05,375 --> 00:42:06,708
all along.
