1
00:00:02,045 --> 00:00:04,562
A mysterious formation...
2
00:00:04,589 --> 00:00:06,914
carved out of the Earth...
3
00:00:07,008 --> 00:00:10,826
gone unnoticed
for thousands of years.
4
00:00:10,887 --> 00:00:13,070
It's really, really striking
5
00:00:13,097 --> 00:00:14,905
when you first see it.
6
00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,575
It looks so much
like a human face.
7
00:00:17,602 --> 00:00:20,520
Is it an ancient
megalithic structure
8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,855
made to be seen from the sky?
9
00:00:23,015 --> 00:00:25,266
The Badlands Guardian
looks artificial.
10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,087
It doesn't look like
a trick of nature.
11
00:00:27,111 --> 00:00:29,695
And could it be
12
00:00:29,855 --> 00:00:33,758
not only a link to mankind's
extraterrestrial ancestors...
13
00:00:33,785 --> 00:00:35,760
So you have to ask yourself,
14
00:00:35,787 --> 00:00:37,111
who were they emulating?
15
00:00:37,205 --> 00:00:40,022
...but one that holds the key
16
00:00:40,083 --> 00:00:42,041
to their return?
17
00:00:42,201 --> 00:00:44,710
We learned their codes
18
00:00:44,870 --> 00:00:46,620
and their secret symbolism,
19
00:00:46,714 --> 00:00:49,106
and what we're seeing
probably holds...
20
00:00:49,133 --> 00:00:50,967
a key to our legacy.
21
00:00:53,713 --> 00:00:55,871
There is a doorway
22
00:00:55,932 --> 00:00:58,783
in the universe.
23
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:01,602
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
24
00:01:03,314 --> 00:01:05,456
It demands
we question everything
25
00:01:05,483 --> 00:01:07,792
we have ever been taught.
26
00:01:07,819 --> 00:01:11,979
The evidence is all around us.
27
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:15,408
The future is
right before our eyes.
28
00:01:15,568 --> 00:01:18,152
We are not alone.
29
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:21,581
We have never been alone.
30
00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:35,653
Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan.
31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,597
2005.
32
00:01:37,757 --> 00:01:41,601
53-year-old grandmother Lynn Hickox
33
00:01:41,761 --> 00:01:43,828
is scanning GPS driving directions
34
00:01:43,855 --> 00:01:45,938
to a local museum on satellite view
35
00:01:46,098 --> 00:01:48,165
when something catches her eye:
36
00:01:48,192 --> 00:01:51,927
a geographical feature that
bears a striking resemblance
37
00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,188
to a human face.
38
00:01:54,282 --> 00:01:57,617
It looks so much
like a man-made structure
39
00:01:57,777 --> 00:02:00,953
that she posts the image
on a message board.
40
00:02:01,113 --> 00:02:04,624
Almost overnight,
the image goes viral
41
00:02:04,784 --> 00:02:06,792
and becomes known far and wide
42
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:10,963
as the "Badlands Guardian."
43
00:02:11,123 --> 00:02:13,448
It is quite striking.
It is clearly a face.
44
00:02:13,509 --> 00:02:16,802
The brow, the nose, the lips,
the chin are well formed.
45
00:02:16,962 --> 00:02:19,213
The headdress a little less so,
46
00:02:19,307 --> 00:02:22,290
but clearly could be seen
as feathers.
47
00:02:22,352 --> 00:02:25,311
The Badlands Guardian appears
to be a huge geoglyph
48
00:02:25,471 --> 00:02:27,647
near Alberta, Canada.
49
00:02:27,807 --> 00:02:31,041
And to see it from Google Earth
or from satellite imagery,
50
00:02:31,069 --> 00:02:35,379
you would think it was created
by people many, many years ago.
51
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:39,066
"Geo" means Earth,
and glyphs are symbols,
52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,736
so "geoglyph" means
symbols on the Earth.
53
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:45,723
They can be geometric designs,
they can be...
54
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:47,725
animals, they can be faces.
55
00:02:47,752 --> 00:02:49,576
Some of them are carved
56
00:02:49,671 --> 00:02:52,004
into the ground,
like we find in Nazca.
57
00:02:52,164 --> 00:02:54,173
And in some places
they're built up,
58
00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:56,233
mounds built up on the Earth.
59
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:58,160
The Badlands Guardian
60
00:02:58,221 --> 00:03:02,014
is a bust, or a head
and shoulders presentation,
61
00:03:02,174 --> 00:03:05,576
of a male indigenous person.
62
00:03:05,603 --> 00:03:07,428
It is so striking,
63
00:03:07,522 --> 00:03:10,748
because that is the indigenous
people of the area.
64
00:03:10,775 --> 00:03:13,192
It doesn't look like a Scotsman
wearing a kilt.
65
00:03:13,352 --> 00:03:15,528
It doesn't look like
an African warrior.
66
00:03:15,688 --> 00:03:20,257
It looks like an indigenous,
uh, native to the area.
67
00:03:20,284 --> 00:03:23,369
Is it possible that
the likeness of a human face
68
00:03:23,529 --> 00:03:26,372
naturally formed in the Earth?
69
00:03:26,532 --> 00:03:29,191
Many who have examined
the Badlands Guardian
70
00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:32,770
suggest that, based on the
amount of detail it displays,
71
00:03:32,797 --> 00:03:36,215
this is highly unlikely.
72
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:38,353
When the mainstream
scientific community
73
00:03:38,377 --> 00:03:40,627
looks at the Badlands Guardian,
74
00:03:40,722 --> 00:03:43,242
their first explanation is that
it was created by weathering,
75
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:45,132
uh, rain and water runoff.
76
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:47,284
But there's just so much detail
77
00:03:47,311 --> 00:03:49,311
that we're seeing
in this formation
78
00:03:49,397 --> 00:03:51,542
that it goes way beyond
anything nature could make.
79
00:03:51,566 --> 00:03:53,882
It not only has
basic facial features,
80
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:57,052
it has secondary facial
features, such as the eyelid.
81
00:03:57,113 --> 00:03:58,799
The only thing missing
from the Badlands Guardian
82
00:03:58,823 --> 00:04:00,314
is an ear feature.
83
00:04:00,408 --> 00:04:02,649
Now, the interesting thing
about that is,
84
00:04:02,744 --> 00:04:04,024
the local government in Canada,
85
00:04:04,078 --> 00:04:05,889
they had found
a gas deposit there,
86
00:04:05,913 --> 00:04:07,562
right where the ear should be.
87
00:04:07,623 --> 00:04:09,718
There might have been
an ear there at one time,
88
00:04:09,742 --> 00:04:11,729
but now, because they put
an access road there
89
00:04:11,753 --> 00:04:15,070
and they built this gas feature,
that was all erased.
90
00:04:15,131 --> 00:04:19,091
Archaeologists are often
mistaken about ancient sites.
91
00:04:19,251 --> 00:04:23,245
And what is actually a pyramid
that's now, say,
92
00:04:23,306 --> 00:04:27,174
covered in soil
and has a forest on it
93
00:04:27,268 --> 00:04:30,511
can be mistaken
for just a natural hill.
94
00:04:30,605 --> 00:04:35,090
This has happened in...
in South America, in China,
95
00:04:35,151 --> 00:04:37,668
Archaeologists
are continually finding
96
00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:40,004
that things
they think are natural
97
00:04:40,031 --> 00:04:42,264
are actually artificial.
98
00:04:42,325 --> 00:04:45,767
Some of the geoglyphs
found around the world
99
00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:49,530
were formed simply by removing
the top layer of soil
100
00:04:49,624 --> 00:04:53,017
to expose the lighter colored
dirt underneath.
101
00:04:53,044 --> 00:04:56,520
But if the Badlands Guardian
is also a geoglyph,
102
00:04:56,547 --> 00:05:00,858
creating it would have been
an enormous undertaking.
103
00:05:00,885 --> 00:05:05,546
The massive concave formation
is almost half a mile long
104
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,957
and it is over 1,100 feet wide.
105
00:05:09,018 --> 00:05:11,126
For comparison,
106
00:05:11,187 --> 00:05:14,313
the Mount Rushmore National
Monument in South Dakota,
107
00:05:14,473 --> 00:05:16,723
which was completed in 1941,
108
00:05:16,818 --> 00:05:18,892
is approximately 80 feet tall
109
00:05:18,986 --> 00:05:21,895
and 200 feet wide.
110
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:24,109
And while it is only
a fraction of the size
111
00:05:24,149 --> 00:05:25,732
of the Badlands Guardian,
112
00:05:25,827 --> 00:05:29,328
constructing it required
an enormous amount of work,
113
00:05:29,488 --> 00:05:31,413
even with modern technology.
114
00:05:33,158 --> 00:05:35,909
The carving
officially started in 1927,
115
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:39,229
and it was
considered complete in 1941.
116
00:05:39,257 --> 00:05:41,841
My grandfather was
on the mountain
117
00:05:42,001 --> 00:05:45,660
approximately from 1933 to 1941.
118
00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:48,496
He was chief carver
on Mount Rushmore.
119
00:05:48,558 --> 00:05:50,165
It took about 400 workers.
120
00:05:50,226 --> 00:05:52,334
It took 14 years.
121
00:05:52,395 --> 00:05:56,080
And when I think about
the amount of time and effort
122
00:05:56,107 --> 00:05:58,524
that it took
for people in the '30s
123
00:05:58,684 --> 00:06:01,085
to create Mount Rushmore,
124
00:06:01,112 --> 00:06:03,195
I can't even begin to imagine
125
00:06:03,355 --> 00:06:05,772
what the person or persons
had to do,
126
00:06:05,867 --> 00:06:08,053
working on something the size
of the Badlands Guardian.
127
00:06:08,077 --> 00:06:11,111
I-I can't even wrap my head
around it.
128
00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:13,597
How was it possible
that the people that carved this
129
00:06:13,624 --> 00:06:15,374
thousands of years ago
130
00:06:15,534 --> 00:06:17,543
were able to see
what they were doing
131
00:06:17,703 --> 00:06:19,603
or know what they were doing?
132
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:23,698
They must have had assistance
by extraterrestrial beings.
133
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,294
The Badlands
Guardian can only be
134
00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:29,446
fully appreciated from the sky.
135
00:06:29,473 --> 00:06:32,391
So you have to wonder why.
136
00:06:32,551 --> 00:06:34,618
Well, then the answer is:
137
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:36,787
people on the ground wanted
138
00:06:36,814 --> 00:06:39,815
to signal someone up in the sky.
139
00:06:41,569 --> 00:06:44,069
For ancient astronaut theorists,
140
00:06:44,229 --> 00:06:46,189
the Badlands Guardian
could offer
141
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,482
some of the most compelling
new evidence
142
00:06:48,576 --> 00:06:50,968
that extraterrestrial
intervention occurred on Earth
143
00:06:50,995 --> 00:06:52,986
in the distant past...
144
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,665
that is, if it really is
an artificial structure.
145
00:07:00,171 --> 00:07:02,070
Boston, Massachusetts.
146
00:07:02,131 --> 00:07:05,073
February 2019.
147
00:07:05,134 --> 00:07:07,000
Aerospace engineer
148
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:09,762
and satellite imaging expert
Mark Carlotto
149
00:07:09,922 --> 00:07:12,489
has spent countless hours
examining
150
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:15,601
the Badlands Guardian to see
if he can determine for certain
151
00:07:15,761 --> 00:07:18,845
whether it is something
other than a natural formation.
152
00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:21,756
The image
of the Badlands Guardian
153
00:07:21,817 --> 00:07:24,501
is very striking
as this Native American figure,
154
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:26,748
and there are some properties
that are unusual.
155
00:07:26,772 --> 00:07:28,447
So I did some analysis,
156
00:07:28,607 --> 00:07:31,283
uh, using some imaging software
157
00:07:31,443 --> 00:07:34,344
and the height map
of the feature.
158
00:07:34,372 --> 00:07:35,846
We'll start with an overview
159
00:07:35,873 --> 00:07:38,365
of the Badlands Guardian
image here.
160
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:40,793
We see the figure in the middle
of the image here,
161
00:07:40,953 --> 00:07:42,481
and notice
the surrounding landform's
162
00:07:42,505 --> 00:07:44,705
very similar in morphology.
163
00:07:44,799 --> 00:07:47,508
So, now what we'll do is
we'll zoom up on the figure.
164
00:07:49,178 --> 00:07:51,198
You can see it
a little bit more clearly,
165
00:07:51,222 --> 00:07:54,622
the, um, this iconic face, so...
166
00:07:54,684 --> 00:07:57,292
what can we do to bring out,
you know, some information?
167
00:07:57,353 --> 00:08:00,312
Well, we ran a program
that extracts the height,
168
00:08:00,472 --> 00:08:03,482
or elevation,
uh, from the figure.
169
00:08:03,642 --> 00:08:06,468
And the way it's depicted here
is... is: dark is low
170
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:08,970
and bright is high.
171
00:08:09,031 --> 00:08:12,049
So now, after we've taken
the image and texture-mapped it
172
00:08:12,076 --> 00:08:15,052
onto the elevation surface,
we can view it in 3D.
173
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,888
And, um, now
I'm moving around it
174
00:08:17,915 --> 00:08:21,408
and viewing it like
we might see it in a drone.
175
00:08:21,502 --> 00:08:23,689
And as you can see, when
you're looking straight down
176
00:08:23,713 --> 00:08:25,337
on the Badlands Guardian,
177
00:08:25,497 --> 00:08:27,898
it's, uh,
this uncanny resemblance
178
00:08:27,925 --> 00:08:29,341
to a Native American.
179
00:08:29,501 --> 00:08:31,326
But as we look off angle,
180
00:08:31,387 --> 00:08:34,162
and as we look at it
from ground level,
181
00:08:34,223 --> 00:08:37,999
simulated ground level,
you see the illusion disappears.
182
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:40,410
So clearly this feature,
if it was created,
183
00:08:40,438 --> 00:08:42,929
was meant to be viewed
from above.
184
00:08:43,024 --> 00:08:45,840
One important factor for Mark
185
00:08:45,901 --> 00:08:48,843
is how information looks
when the lighting changes.
186
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:52,364
If the Badlands Guardian
still appears as a face
187
00:08:52,524 --> 00:08:55,442
under different conditions,
it could strengthen the argument
188
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:58,853
that it's
an artificial structure.
189
00:08:58,914 --> 00:09:01,615
And as you can see, what we've
simulated here in these views
190
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:04,117
are noontime views,
so the Sun is at noon,
191
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:05,878
in the summer...
192
00:09:06,038 --> 00:09:07,998
the spring or fall
and the winter.
193
00:09:08,049 --> 00:09:10,110
Notice in the winter
the shadows are longer.
194
00:09:10,134 --> 00:09:12,051
The Sun is lower in the sky.
195
00:09:12,211 --> 00:09:16,113
And in all three, you definitely
get this impression of a face.
196
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:17,743
It implies
it's very interesting,
197
00:09:17,767 --> 00:09:20,726
and if it's not,
uh, artificially created,
198
00:09:20,886 --> 00:09:23,562
nature is having
a great joke on us.
199
00:09:23,722 --> 00:09:27,307
To me, the Badlands Guardian
looks artificial.
200
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:29,717
It doesn't look like
a trick of nature
201
00:09:29,779 --> 00:09:31,372
and that I'm suffering
from apophenia.
202
00:09:31,396 --> 00:09:33,054
All humans do have apophenia,
203
00:09:33,115 --> 00:09:35,260
meaning they see patterns
where patterns are not.
204
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:38,911
That's why we see Mickey Mouse
in the clouds and so on.
205
00:09:39,071 --> 00:09:41,229
But this looks
too specifically like
206
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:44,808
some type of native person
with a headdress on.
207
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:46,643
Looking at this picture,
208
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:49,070
you can see the natural patterns
of erosion.
209
00:09:49,131 --> 00:09:51,815
So it's clear to me
from this picture
210
00:09:51,842 --> 00:09:53,842
that this is
an artificial structure.
211
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:56,744
Did a grandmother
in Saskatchewan
212
00:09:56,806 --> 00:09:59,823
accidentally discover
physical evidence
213
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:03,418
of extraterrestrial
intervention on Earth?
214
00:10:03,479 --> 00:10:06,663
But if so,
how long has it been there?
215
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:07,940
Who built it?
216
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:10,442
And what does it mean?
217
00:10:10,602 --> 00:10:13,428
Perhaps further clues
can be found
218
00:10:13,489 --> 00:10:16,506
by examining other geoglyphs
that have been discovered
219
00:10:16,534 --> 00:10:18,692
all over the world,
220
00:10:18,786 --> 00:10:21,995
and the strange figures
they depict.
221
00:10:27,786 --> 00:10:29,703
In 1820,
222
00:10:29,797 --> 00:10:32,356
the prominent German
mathematician and physicist
223
00:10:32,383 --> 00:10:34,207
Carl Friedrich Gauss
224
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:36,784
began to explore the possibility
225
00:10:36,846 --> 00:10:40,288
that there are other intelligent
beings in our solar system.
226
00:10:40,349 --> 00:10:43,458
He hypothesized
that alien life-forms
227
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,455
might be able to view
the surface of our planet
228
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:48,221
through the use
of superior technology,
229
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:50,374
and proposed
that we could attempt
230
00:10:50,401 --> 00:10:51,892
to communicate with them
231
00:10:51,986 --> 00:10:54,044
by creating large-scale shapes
232
00:10:54,071 --> 00:10:56,238
and figures in the Earth...
233
00:10:57,867 --> 00:11:01,493
what are known today
as geoglyphs.
234
00:11:01,653 --> 00:11:03,887
Gauss' idea was simple,
235
00:11:03,914 --> 00:11:05,889
that tracks of forests
be planted
236
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:07,407
in the shape of right triangles
237
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:11,486
so that at great distances,
238
00:11:11,547 --> 00:11:14,898
patterns of triangles
would be visible from space.
239
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:19,236
He tried to come up with an idea
of how we could signal
240
00:11:19,263 --> 00:11:21,680
our existence here down
on Earth,
241
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,757
and not just signal,
242
00:11:23,851 --> 00:11:25,971
but to tell 'em that we
were intelligent.
243
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:30,914
So what he devised
was to create
244
00:11:30,941 --> 00:11:34,267
this huge geoglyph in Siberia
245
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:36,945
showing the Pythagorean
triangle.
246
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:41,867
This is something
that you can only work out
247
00:11:42,027 --> 00:11:44,519
if you have mathematical
knowledge.
248
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:47,113
So he wanted to convey
this knowledge
249
00:11:47,208 --> 00:11:51,376
to these intelligences
outside of our own planet.
250
00:11:53,631 --> 00:11:55,530
More than a century
251
00:11:55,591 --> 00:11:58,625
after Gauss proposed creating
figures in the Earth
252
00:11:58,719 --> 00:12:00,944
to communicate with
extraterrestrials,
253
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:05,039
pilots flying over southern Peru
in the 1930s discovered
254
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:08,876
hundreds of giant geoglyphs
etched into the desert soil:
255
00:12:08,938 --> 00:12:12,305
the Nazca Lines.
256
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,882
As there is no record of when
257
00:12:14,944 --> 00:12:16,960
or why the Nazca Lines
were formed...
258
00:12:16,987 --> 00:12:18,904
or even who made them...
259
00:12:19,064 --> 00:12:22,407
scholars can only guess as
to what purpose they served.
260
00:12:22,567 --> 00:12:24,985
But is it possible
that these geoglyphs
261
00:12:25,079 --> 00:12:26,987
were created by ancient people
262
00:12:27,081 --> 00:12:30,732
who were doing exactly
what Carl Gauss proposed:
263
00:12:30,793 --> 00:12:32,826
attempting to communicate
264
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,146
with beings looking down
on Earth from above?
265
00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:38,239
This is a huge area
266
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:40,834
where these straight lines
stretch for many, many miles.
267
00:12:40,928 --> 00:12:45,155
And then effigies
such as spiders
268
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:48,684
and birds and other animals
also carved into the landscape.
269
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:53,179
It wasn't until the invention
of the airplane
270
00:12:53,274 --> 00:12:55,665
that we were able to observe
the Nazca Lines
271
00:12:55,693 --> 00:12:58,335
from the vantage point
they were designed for.
272
00:12:58,362 --> 00:13:01,688
With the ability to see
the Earth from new heights,
273
00:13:01,782 --> 00:13:04,174
more and more geoglyphs
were discovered.
274
00:13:04,201 --> 00:13:07,861
And now,
with satellite imagery,
275
00:13:07,955 --> 00:13:10,271
it has been revealed
that our ancestors
276
00:13:10,332 --> 00:13:14,367
created similar formations
all over the world.
277
00:13:14,461 --> 00:13:16,628
They've been finding geoglyphs
278
00:13:16,788 --> 00:13:19,447
in Asia, the Middle East,
Africa,
279
00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:23,193
North America, South America,
Australia,
280
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:25,282
all over the world
they're finding geoglyphs.
281
00:13:25,306 --> 00:13:28,882
We have earthen geoglyphs
282
00:13:28,976 --> 00:13:31,292
such as Serpent Mound in Ohio.
283
00:13:31,353 --> 00:13:35,388
In England, at Glastonbury,
we have the Glastonbury Zodiac,
284
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:38,041
constellations carved
into the landscape.
285
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:40,393
We also have
the Blythe Intaglios
286
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:42,821
in the western part
of America.
287
00:13:42,981 --> 00:13:45,065
So all the geoglyphs
all over the world
288
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:49,069
do suggest that the ancients
were using the Earth
289
00:13:49,163 --> 00:13:51,141
as, like, a canvas,
but why would they do this?
290
00:13:51,165 --> 00:13:54,407
Were they sending messages up
291
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:57,627
into the sky
for other beings to see?
292
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:04,568
It might be a test of some sort,
293
00:14:04,595 --> 00:14:06,661
uh, a code, a puzzle.
294
00:14:06,722 --> 00:14:11,165
Something that
we would only recognize
295
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:15,412
when we had developed
powered flight and satellites.
296
00:14:15,439 --> 00:14:18,264
Does it lead to a next step?
297
00:14:18,359 --> 00:14:21,751
These massive geoglyphs,
298
00:14:21,779 --> 00:14:24,345
they're not art for art's sake.
299
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:26,940
They did it for
a very specific purpose,
300
00:14:27,034 --> 00:14:29,275
for a purpose
of communicating with
301
00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:32,278
and interacting with
extraterrestrial beings.
302
00:14:32,373 --> 00:14:37,617
Is it possible that an
extraterrestrial civilization
303
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:40,879
is monitoring us much like
Carl Gauss predicted?
304
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:44,124
One part of Gauss's hypothesis
305
00:14:44,218 --> 00:14:47,277
that now seems very plausible
is the idea
306
00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:50,280
that extraterrestrials may have
the technology
307
00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:54,709
to view details on the Earth's
surface from great distances.
308
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:57,621
Could it be they are waiting
for the day
309
00:14:57,648 --> 00:15:02,142
when we humans demonstrate
the ability to do the same?
310
00:15:02,236 --> 00:15:06,554
That day may be closer
than we think,
311
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:08,314
as scientists are learning
312
00:15:08,409 --> 00:15:11,134
how to view the surfaces
of faraway planets
313
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:14,988
through a process called
gravitational lensing.
314
00:15:15,082 --> 00:15:17,398
A regular lens happens 'cause
you have a change
315
00:15:17,459 --> 00:15:20,143
in index of refraction, which
changes the speed of light.
316
00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:23,663
A gravitational lens literally
is curving space itself,
317
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:26,666
and light now travels
that curved path.
318
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,319
What it allows us to do
in exploring space
319
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:31,579
is it will allow us to observe
320
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,040
or look at things we wouldn't
otherwise be able to see.
321
00:15:35,686 --> 00:15:37,343
In 2019,
322
00:15:37,438 --> 00:15:39,179
the Hubble Space Telescope used
323
00:15:39,273 --> 00:15:41,440
a naturally occurring
gravitational lens,
324
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,516
a bend in space-time,
325
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:45,852
in order to capture the light
326
00:15:45,946 --> 00:15:48,763
of a large galaxy cluster
in the Leo constellation
327
00:15:48,824 --> 00:15:52,492
that was previously
too far away and dim to see.
328
00:15:54,946 --> 00:15:57,066
While Hubble utilized
a gravitational lens
329
00:15:57,124 --> 00:15:59,349
that already existed in space,
330
00:15:59,376 --> 00:16:04,704
it is possible that one day we
may be able to create our own.
331
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:07,540
If there was an
extraterrestrial civilization
332
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:10,360
that had that technology
and was far enough along
333
00:16:10,387 --> 00:16:13,363
to make a gravitational lens
that magnified,
334
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:15,535
that might allow them
to view things, for instance,
335
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:18,143
on Earth, that you couldn't
with just a standard lens.
336
00:16:18,303 --> 00:16:20,962
Is it possible
337
00:16:21,023 --> 00:16:23,707
that extraterrestrials created
markers on Earth
338
00:16:23,734 --> 00:16:25,542
that they were capable of seeing
339
00:16:25,569 --> 00:16:27,969
from the far reaches of space?
340
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:31,715
And did our ancestors then
construct their own geoglyphs
341
00:16:31,742 --> 00:16:34,901
in the hopes that the alien
visitors would return?
342
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:38,330
Perhaps a piece of the puzzle
can be revealed
343
00:16:38,490 --> 00:16:43,651
by examining geoglyphs of
strange humanoid-type beings.
344
00:16:43,712 --> 00:16:45,653
At Nazca, we see what appears
345
00:16:45,714 --> 00:16:48,322
to be a humanoid figure wearing
a space suit.
346
00:16:48,383 --> 00:16:52,511
At the Blythe Intaglio,
we see a very strange, tall,
347
00:16:52,671 --> 00:16:54,679
spindly human being.
348
00:16:54,839 --> 00:16:56,740
Then you have the Atacama Giant
349
00:16:56,767 --> 00:17:01,019
who has these lines coming out
on the top of his head.
350
00:17:01,179 --> 00:17:03,429
The Badlands Guardian
is unique among all
351
00:17:03,524 --> 00:17:05,326
the geoglyphs we've found
around the world.
352
00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:09,085
It's the only one
that has a face.
353
00:17:09,112 --> 00:17:12,030
Most of the humanoid geoglyphs
354
00:17:12,190 --> 00:17:15,942
are of a full figure who is
looking directly at the sky.
355
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:18,778
But the Badlands Guardian
is different.
356
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,781
He's in profile;
it's just his head.
357
00:17:21,875 --> 00:17:24,117
It's a Native American face
358
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:26,619
and Native Americans lived
in that area.
359
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:30,290
And Native American history
is filled
360
00:17:30,384 --> 00:17:35,053
with stories of sky people
descending from above.
361
00:17:35,213 --> 00:17:38,056
It's maybe a signal, "Hey",
362
00:17:38,216 --> 00:17:40,800
this is us down here.
Come and say hello."
363
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:44,729
Is it possible that the
geoglyphs of humanoid figures,
364
00:17:44,889 --> 00:17:47,807
and also the Badlands Guardian,
365
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:51,552
illustrate actual
extraterrestrial visitors?
366
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:55,890
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
367
00:17:55,951 --> 00:17:58,893
a nearby site that boasts
the greatest concentration
368
00:17:58,954 --> 00:18:02,581
of rock art on the
North American Great Plains,
369
00:18:02,741 --> 00:18:07,210
dating back
at least 9,000 years.
370
00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:19,264
Writing-on-Stone
Provincial Park, Canada.
371
00:18:19,424 --> 00:18:23,435
Here, less than
a hundred miles away
372
00:18:23,595 --> 00:18:26,938
from the Badlands Guardian,
is an incredible record
373
00:18:27,098 --> 00:18:29,182
of local Native American
traditions.
374
00:18:29,276 --> 00:18:32,444
Thousands of ancient
petroglyphs,
375
00:18:32,604 --> 00:18:35,021
images carved into stone,
376
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:37,023
depict every aspect of life
377
00:18:37,117 --> 00:18:39,676
for the people who lived here
centuries ago.
378
00:18:39,703 --> 00:18:42,454
There are ancient calendars,
379
00:18:42,614 --> 00:18:46,032
depictions of animals, humans,
380
00:18:46,126 --> 00:18:49,535
entire battle scenes,
and the Blackfoot gods,
381
00:18:49,630 --> 00:18:52,672
who they also refer to
as "sky beings."
382
00:18:55,469 --> 00:18:57,543
In various Native American
traditions,
383
00:18:57,638 --> 00:19:00,213
we have different
spiritual beings located
384
00:19:00,307 --> 00:19:02,368
on these sort of different
planes of existence.
385
00:19:02,392 --> 00:19:05,459
And there's a wonderful range
386
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,796
of stories in many, many
Native American groups that talk
387
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:10,960
about some of the adventures
and interactions
388
00:19:10,984 --> 00:19:14,027
with these sky people
with the humans on Earth.
389
00:19:15,906 --> 00:19:17,563
For the Blackfoot,
390
00:19:17,658 --> 00:19:19,974
the most prominent
of these sky beings
391
00:19:20,035 --> 00:19:24,478
is the one they credit
with their creation, Napi.
392
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:27,740
The creator god of
the Blackfoot is called Napi,
393
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:30,001
and in this petroglyph
he can be seen,
394
00:19:30,161 --> 00:19:33,004
what appears to be inside
of a disc.
395
00:19:33,164 --> 00:19:36,323
And he's very strange-looking
'cause he's got four fingers,
396
00:19:36,385 --> 00:19:39,569
he's got sort of
an elongated skull.
397
00:19:41,682 --> 00:19:44,073
The Blackfoot tell
398
00:19:44,101 --> 00:19:47,410
a really interesting
creation myth about Napi.
399
00:19:47,437 --> 00:19:50,413
They tell how he came to Earth
and created various animals
400
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,582
and-and other creatures.
401
00:19:52,609 --> 00:19:55,009
And then one day
he decided to form
402
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:57,937
a living human being
out of clay.
403
00:19:58,031 --> 00:20:02,325
And then he goes and leaves
the Blackfoot alone...
404
00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:09,190
...but he promises
that he's going to return.
405
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:13,786
The Blackfoot regard Napi
406
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,548
not as mythological,
but as a real being
407
00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:18,925
who descended from the heavens.
408
00:20:20,762 --> 00:20:23,555
So the Star People
in Native American traditions
409
00:20:23,715 --> 00:20:26,057
are beings who came
from the cosmos
410
00:20:26,217 --> 00:20:29,561
and taught the arts
of civilization,
411
00:20:29,721 --> 00:20:33,139
agriculture, medicine,
healing,
412
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:36,642
and they brought maps
of the cosmos to Earth.
413
00:20:36,737 --> 00:20:40,463
Throughout especially
the western part of America,
414
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:43,074
we find petroglyph or rock art
415
00:20:43,234 --> 00:20:46,152
that portrays what appear
to be star beings.
416
00:20:46,246 --> 00:20:48,488
People can look
at this art and say,
417
00:20:48,582 --> 00:20:51,324
"That's a depiction
of an extraterrestrial."
418
00:20:51,418 --> 00:20:54,068
And this is one way that
the First Nations people
419
00:20:54,129 --> 00:20:58,331
recorded their interactions
with the Star People.
420
00:20:58,425 --> 00:21:00,592
Could this petroglyph of Napi
421
00:21:00,752 --> 00:21:02,502
be a depiction of a being
422
00:21:02,596 --> 00:21:04,323
that the ancient Blackfoot
encountered
423
00:21:04,347 --> 00:21:06,264
coming down from the sky?
424
00:21:06,424 --> 00:21:09,434
And might this provide
further evidence
425
00:21:09,594 --> 00:21:11,936
that the local indigenous
populations
426
00:21:12,096 --> 00:21:14,439
were visited by
extraterrestrials?
427
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,276
Ancient Astronaut theorists
say, yes,
428
00:21:18,436 --> 00:21:21,504
and believe
the Badlands Guardian may reveal
429
00:21:21,531 --> 00:21:23,615
how the ancients communicated
430
00:21:23,775 --> 00:21:26,785
with these otherworldly
visitors.
431
00:21:26,945 --> 00:21:28,861
Now, the headdress that he wears
432
00:21:28,955 --> 00:21:30,683
is called a medicine hat, uh,
which...
433
00:21:30,707 --> 00:21:33,458
it's not a chief's regalia
that you would see
434
00:21:33,618 --> 00:21:36,853
with all the feathers going down
that a chief would wear.
435
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,445
What a medicine hat entails
436
00:21:38,507 --> 00:21:41,800
is it incorporates
the tail feathers of an eagle.
437
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,527
And these are normally worn
by, uh, the medicine man.
438
00:21:44,554 --> 00:21:47,380
The medicine man...
this is a wisdom figure,
439
00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:50,475
a combination of professor,
doctor and priest
440
00:21:50,635 --> 00:21:52,051
all in one person.
441
00:21:52,145 --> 00:21:55,054
The hat is what we tend to call
a headdress.
442
00:21:55,148 --> 00:21:59,300
The shamanic, ceremonial leader
uses that
443
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:01,986
to make contact
with invisible dimensions,
444
00:22:02,146 --> 00:22:04,138
often thought of
as upper worlds,
445
00:22:04,199 --> 00:22:08,159
in which contact is made
with spirits, gods,
446
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:11,812
energy that is beyond
our understanding.
447
00:22:11,873 --> 00:22:13,810
The fact that he's wearing
a medicine hat
448
00:22:13,834 --> 00:22:17,910
that acts as a antenna tells us
that this is a figure who was
449
00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:20,580
in communication
with otherworldly beings,
450
00:22:20,674 --> 00:22:22,298
maybe even the Star People.
451
00:22:24,761 --> 00:22:27,328
If extraterrestrials
communicated
452
00:22:27,389 --> 00:22:29,158
with the ancient
Blackfoot Indians,
453
00:22:29,182 --> 00:22:32,091
is it possible
that they imparted the knowledge
454
00:22:32,185 --> 00:22:36,020
and technology to construct
the Badlands Guardian?
455
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:38,764
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
456
00:22:38,859 --> 00:22:40,917
that not only
did extraterrestrials
457
00:22:40,944 --> 00:22:43,510
visit people living
in the Alberta Badlands
458
00:22:43,572 --> 00:22:45,530
in the distant past,
459
00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:49,701
but that they continue to visit
the region to this very day.
460
00:22:52,030 --> 00:22:55,765
Certain areas of the world
are hotbeds of UFO activity.
461
00:22:55,792 --> 00:23:00,027
And, in fact, Alberta, Canada,
is one of these hotbeds.
462
00:23:00,088 --> 00:23:05,108
There's constantly UFO sightings
in the day and night,
463
00:23:05,135 --> 00:23:08,794
and there's quite a few photos
and films that can be seen.
464
00:23:08,889 --> 00:23:13,449
In 2009 alone, there were
over 150 reported sightings
465
00:23:13,476 --> 00:23:16,377
of UFOs in Alberta.
466
00:23:16,438 --> 00:23:19,380
One of the most famous
UFO sightings in that area
467
00:23:19,441 --> 00:23:21,382
happened in 1967
468
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:25,128
when a person named Warren Smith
and two of his friends
469
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:26,905
were out walking in this area,
470
00:23:27,065 --> 00:23:30,391
and in broad daylight,
they then saw
471
00:23:30,452 --> 00:23:35,163
a silvery, disc-shaped UFO
hovering around the trees.
472
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:38,416
The witnesses took their photos,
473
00:23:38,576 --> 00:23:41,044
and then, finally,
the UFO vanished.
474
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:44,330
Warren Smith's photos
475
00:23:44,424 --> 00:23:46,569
of this craft
as it was lifting into the sky
476
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:49,910
were analyzed by
the Photo Interpretation Center.
477
00:23:49,971 --> 00:23:53,264
The experts there determined
that the photos were real
478
00:23:53,424 --> 00:23:55,119
and that it matched
the description
479
00:23:55,143 --> 00:23:56,842
of what he said he saw,
480
00:23:56,937 --> 00:23:59,495
suggesting that this
was a genuine experience
481
00:23:59,522 --> 00:24:04,350
and that these were, in fact,
genuine photos of a craft.
482
00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:06,945
The area where Warren Smith
took the photos isn't far
483
00:24:07,105 --> 00:24:09,249
from where the Badlands Guardian
is located.
484
00:24:09,273 --> 00:24:11,115
Does this suggest that aliens
485
00:24:11,275 --> 00:24:13,600
have a continuing interest
in this area?
486
00:24:13,662 --> 00:24:17,697
With all of this UFO activity
in Alberta,
487
00:24:17,791 --> 00:24:20,941
and it's in the vicinity
of the Badlands Guardian,
488
00:24:21,002 --> 00:24:25,463
you have to wonder
if this area isn't some portal
489
00:24:25,623 --> 00:24:29,692
or inter-dimensional spot
490
00:24:29,719 --> 00:24:32,712
where UFOs are coming and going.
491
00:24:32,806 --> 00:24:34,951
And you have to wonder
if it's something to do
492
00:24:34,975 --> 00:24:36,290
with the Badlands Guardian.
493
00:24:36,351 --> 00:24:38,868
Does the Badlands Guardian
494
00:24:38,895 --> 00:24:40,478
represent a medicine man
495
00:24:40,638 --> 00:24:43,648
who communicated
with the Star People?
496
00:24:43,808 --> 00:24:46,467
Or could it be depicting
a star being,
497
00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:48,894
one who taught the indigenous
people of the region
498
00:24:48,989 --> 00:24:52,657
a means of communicating
with extraterrestrials?
499
00:24:52,817 --> 00:24:56,402
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer can be found
500
00:24:56,496 --> 00:25:00,389
only by forensically examining
the Badlands Guardian
501
00:25:00,417 --> 00:25:02,483
and taking a closer look
502
00:25:02,544 --> 00:25:04,961
at the shape
of the figure's head.
503
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:16,239
Los Angeles, California.
504
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:20,243
February 2019.
505
00:25:20,270 --> 00:25:24,188
Ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos is meeting up
506
00:25:24,348 --> 00:25:27,007
with forensic 3-D artist
Marcia Moore.
507
00:25:27,068 --> 00:25:29,527
-Marcia. Pleasure to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
508
00:25:29,687 --> 00:25:31,090
-How are you? Okay.
-Come on in.
509
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:33,680
Wow, look at this space.
510
00:25:33,742 --> 00:25:35,386
Since learning
about the Badlands Guardian,
511
00:25:35,410 --> 00:25:36,926
Marcia has been working
512
00:25:36,953 --> 00:25:38,928
to reconstruct it digitally
513
00:25:38,955 --> 00:25:41,855
to see what it would look like
as a three-dimensional head
514
00:25:41,916 --> 00:25:44,283
and perhaps provide
further clues
515
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:48,271
as to who or what
it was modeled after.
516
00:25:48,298 --> 00:25:50,882
-Pull up a chair.
-Great.
517
00:25:51,042 --> 00:25:53,279
-And we'll discuss this guardian.
-Uh-huh.
518
00:25:53,303 --> 00:25:55,720
So, you've taken this,
519
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,388
and clearly you've seen the face
520
00:25:57,548 --> 00:26:00,116
and decided
to recreate the face.
521
00:26:00,143 --> 00:26:01,117
-Absolutely.
-Okay.
522
00:26:01,144 --> 00:26:02,785
And what did you come up with?
523
00:26:02,812 --> 00:26:04,637
Well, the first step for me
524
00:26:04,731 --> 00:26:07,456
is to just take a look
at the terrain.
525
00:26:07,484 --> 00:26:10,884
I think, honestly, the whole
aerial view when you look at it,
526
00:26:10,945 --> 00:26:13,813
there's a whole storyboard
of information going on here.
527
00:26:13,907 --> 00:26:17,133
But we're focusing on this face
because this is very prominent.
528
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,151
So, you can tell
529
00:26:19,245 --> 00:26:22,822
we've got a neck area
that's rather extended.
530
00:26:22,916 --> 00:26:24,082
Some feathers,
531
00:26:24,242 --> 00:26:25,583
and then, also, this elongation
532
00:26:25,743 --> 00:26:28,753
that's forming
around this headdress.
533
00:26:30,173 --> 00:26:32,239
Mm-hmm.
534
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:34,153
-All right, go on.
-From there, I created
535
00:26:34,177 --> 00:26:35,835
a 3-D sculpture.
536
00:26:35,929 --> 00:26:39,764
I'm starting
with just a normal-sized head.
537
00:26:39,924 --> 00:26:43,267
So, I will overlay
the aerial view,
538
00:26:43,427 --> 00:26:47,012
and I'm going to create layers.
539
00:26:47,107 --> 00:26:50,333
And I'm actually just following
the terrain.
540
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,926
I'm creating this long neck,
541
00:26:52,987 --> 00:26:57,523
and I'm creating
this elongated head.
542
00:26:57,617 --> 00:26:59,766
And here we have it.
This is the sculpture.
543
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:04,196
Everything in 3-D is mirrored
on the other side,
544
00:27:04,290 --> 00:27:07,350
-so as we turn this around...
-Right.
545
00:27:07,377 --> 00:27:11,295
And this is what he would like
if that thing on the ground
546
00:27:11,455 --> 00:27:13,372
-were a person.
-Absolutely.
547
00:27:13,466 --> 00:27:15,466
Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
548
00:27:15,626 --> 00:27:18,636
You know, after the buildup
of the 3-D sculpture,
549
00:27:18,796 --> 00:27:20,032
I made a digital piece
of artwork
550
00:27:20,056 --> 00:27:22,047
that will flesh this entity out.
551
00:27:22,142 --> 00:27:23,599
Mm-hmm.
552
00:27:26,896 --> 00:27:28,771
That looks great.
553
00:27:32,318 --> 00:27:34,318
You know,
I think it's really cool
554
00:27:34,478 --> 00:27:39,282
that you've kind of pointed out
the elongation of the skull.
555
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:42,401
This whole phenomenon
556
00:27:42,495 --> 00:27:46,980
of elongated skulls
exists worldwide.
557
00:27:47,041 --> 00:27:50,409
Not only do we have these shapes
in this geographic area,
558
00:27:50,503 --> 00:27:53,562
but also, for example,
in South America,
559
00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:57,249
in Peru, but also in Europe,
560
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:59,405
in the Hittite region,
present-day Turkey,
561
00:27:59,429 --> 00:28:02,388
all with these long skulls.
562
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,424
Around the world,
563
00:28:05,518 --> 00:28:07,743
ancient skulls have been found
that are thin,
564
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:10,170
long and misshapen.
565
00:28:10,231 --> 00:28:12,598
In addition to the skulls,
566
00:28:12,692 --> 00:28:15,100
there are many ancient
depictions of historical figures
567
00:28:15,195 --> 00:28:18,696
with extra large,
elongated heads.
568
00:28:18,856 --> 00:28:21,348
What's controversial
about the elongated skulls
569
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:25,519
is that their cranial capacity
is greater than a normal human.
570
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:28,873
So these may not be cases
of cranial deformation.
571
00:28:29,033 --> 00:28:30,541
These could be examples
572
00:28:30,701 --> 00:28:32,877
of a whole subspecies
of humanity.
573
00:28:33,037 --> 00:28:36,363
Worldwide, we have these people
574
00:28:36,424 --> 00:28:39,625
in depictions
wearing these long headdresses,
575
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:43,279
and sometimes
you even see pictures,
576
00:28:43,306 --> 00:28:45,781
especially in ancient Egypt,
577
00:28:45,808 --> 00:28:50,286
where you see the same figures
without the headdress,
578
00:28:50,313 --> 00:28:54,623
and guess what?
They have elongated skulls.
579
00:28:54,651 --> 00:28:57,293
So, you have to ask yourself,
580
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,296
why is there a, uh...
581
00:29:00,323 --> 00:29:03,741
a figure coming out
of the terrain that has, to me,
582
00:29:03,901 --> 00:29:06,560
seems like
an elongated shaped head.
583
00:29:06,621 --> 00:29:08,579
The idea is
584
00:29:08,739 --> 00:29:10,859
that Earth was visited
by extraterrestrials
585
00:29:10,917 --> 00:29:12,641
a long time ago.
586
00:29:12,669 --> 00:29:15,235
And one of my opinions is
587
00:29:15,296 --> 00:29:20,165
that the elongated skull people
were the actual visitors,
588
00:29:20,260 --> 00:29:22,985
and the skeletons
that are found today are some
589
00:29:23,012 --> 00:29:24,503
of the few remnants
590
00:29:24,597 --> 00:29:26,733
of the people that were here
a long time ago,
591
00:29:26,757 --> 00:29:28,661
clearly people
that looked like us
592
00:29:28,685 --> 00:29:31,660
except for that they had
an elongated skull.
593
00:29:31,688 --> 00:29:33,420
So, that, to me, is fascinating.
594
00:29:33,481 --> 00:29:37,257
Marcia, thank you so much
for sharing your work with me.
595
00:29:37,318 --> 00:29:40,594
You've given me a lot
to think about, so thank you.
596
00:29:40,655 --> 00:29:43,735
-Thank you. -Appreciate it.
All right, take care. Bye-bye.
597
00:29:43,774 --> 00:29:47,192
Does the three-dimensional
reconstruction
598
00:29:47,287 --> 00:29:50,454
of the Badlands Guardian
point to the possibility
599
00:29:50,614 --> 00:29:53,365
that it was not only built to be
seen by visitors from the sky,
600
00:29:53,459 --> 00:29:56,018
but that it may even be
a representation
601
00:29:56,045 --> 00:29:59,297
of an extraterrestrial?
602
00:29:59,457 --> 00:30:02,358
Could this be the face
of the being
603
00:30:02,385 --> 00:30:07,029
the Blackfoot people identify
as their creator god, Napi?
604
00:30:07,056 --> 00:30:09,698
Perhaps the answers can be found
605
00:30:09,726 --> 00:30:11,700
by examining
yet another geoglyph
606
00:30:11,728 --> 00:30:14,219
that resembles a human face...
607
00:30:14,314 --> 00:30:17,231
on Mars.
608
00:30:21,362 --> 00:30:25,230
July 19, 1976.
609
00:30:25,325 --> 00:30:29,051
A NASA spacecraft
named Viking 1 enters
610
00:30:29,078 --> 00:30:30,886
into orbit above Mars.
611
00:30:30,913 --> 00:30:32,738
Just six days later,
612
00:30:32,832 --> 00:30:34,981
it takes a photograph
of the Red Planet
613
00:30:35,043 --> 00:30:36,559
that is so extraordinary
614
00:30:36,586 --> 00:30:40,062
it immediately seizes
the public imagination.
615
00:30:40,089 --> 00:30:42,581
In the summer of 1976,
616
00:30:42,675 --> 00:30:45,826
NASA announced that
they had found a face on Mars.
617
00:30:45,887 --> 00:30:49,755
Now, NASA was the original group
of scientists
618
00:30:49,849 --> 00:30:52,091
to label
the face on Mars a head...
619
00:30:52,185 --> 00:30:54,076
it was actually in their file...
620
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:56,503
and they said that they had
found this formation on Mars
621
00:30:56,564 --> 00:30:57,913
that looked like a face.
622
00:30:57,940 --> 00:30:59,765
However, just a few days later,
623
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:01,503
they had
a second press conference,
624
00:31:01,527 --> 00:31:03,005
and they said
that they had taken
625
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:05,087
a second image,
days later, and it...
626
00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:07,176
they found that it was just
a trick of light and shadow
627
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,607
and there was nothing there.
628
00:31:08,701 --> 00:31:10,534
Could it be that the image
629
00:31:10,694 --> 00:31:12,723
of a giant face
on the Martian surface
630
00:31:12,747 --> 00:31:15,598
is actually
an artificial structure,
631
00:31:15,625 --> 00:31:18,117
a physical record that someone,
632
00:31:18,211 --> 00:31:21,045
or something, has been there?
633
00:31:21,205 --> 00:31:25,441
Perhaps a clue can be found
by comparing the Face on Mars
634
00:31:25,468 --> 00:31:27,367
with the Badlands Guardian.
635
00:31:27,428 --> 00:31:29,887
So, the face
is about a mile wide
636
00:31:30,047 --> 00:31:32,615
and about a mile
and two-thirds long.
637
00:31:32,642 --> 00:31:34,370
The Face on Mars is larger
than the Badlands Guardian,
638
00:31:34,394 --> 00:31:36,952
but the Badlands Guardian
is large enough
639
00:31:36,979 --> 00:31:39,032
that you can still see it
in satellite imagery.
640
00:31:39,056 --> 00:31:40,639
To determine if the face
641
00:31:40,733 --> 00:31:43,125
was created by natural means,
642
00:31:43,152 --> 00:31:47,129
imaging expert Mark Carlotto
conducted a scientific analysis
643
00:31:47,156 --> 00:31:49,465
of the Martian structure.
644
00:31:49,492 --> 00:31:50,710
All right, so,
in this overview,
645
00:31:50,734 --> 00:31:52,546
we see the Face on Mars
in the middle.
646
00:31:52,570 --> 00:31:54,245
One of the tests that was done
647
00:31:54,405 --> 00:31:56,308
on the Face of Mars
was to assess
648
00:31:56,332 --> 00:32:00,309
whether it was an artificial
or a natural object.
649
00:32:00,336 --> 00:32:03,069
We applied a technique called
fractal, uh, analysis
650
00:32:03,131 --> 00:32:06,649
to model
the background terrain locally.
651
00:32:06,676 --> 00:32:09,318
We have a filter that basically
computes a little fractal model
652
00:32:09,345 --> 00:32:11,077
as it moves over the image.
653
00:32:11,139 --> 00:32:13,413
And we see,
if we go back and forth here
654
00:32:13,474 --> 00:32:15,674
to the original image
655
00:32:15,768 --> 00:32:17,579
and now the output
of the fractal model,
656
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:21,421
fractal filter, the face
has a very high response.
657
00:32:21,482 --> 00:32:22,848
And this was a very, uh,
658
00:32:22,942 --> 00:32:25,501
unexpected result,
uh, at the time.
659
00:32:25,528 --> 00:32:26,927
And the fractal technique found
660
00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:28,590
that it doesn't
just look like a face
661
00:32:28,614 --> 00:32:30,342
but it actually is,
statistically,
662
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:31,765
in terms of the structure,
663
00:32:31,826 --> 00:32:34,026
different
from the surrounding landforms.
664
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,196
One criticism
of this formation is
665
00:32:37,290 --> 00:32:39,364
that, in more recent images,
666
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,443
the impression of a face
is much less evident.
667
00:32:43,504 --> 00:32:46,130
The structure appears
much more highly eroded.
668
00:32:46,290 --> 00:32:48,357
But if it is an ancient feature,
669
00:32:48,384 --> 00:32:51,026
you would expect erosion
would have taken its toll
670
00:32:51,053 --> 00:32:52,878
over the course of time.
671
00:32:52,972 --> 00:32:54,955
If we flip it back and forth,
672
00:32:55,016 --> 00:32:56,994
there's a very high degree
of correspondence
673
00:32:57,018 --> 00:32:58,954
between the left
and the right side, making it
674
00:32:58,978 --> 00:33:00,794
a highly bisymmetrical object.
675
00:33:00,855 --> 00:33:04,464
Bisymmetry would imply
an artificial, uh, construction,
676
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:07,209
'cause nature would have
to conspire quite a bit
677
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:10,212
to create something that's not
only face-like but bisymmetrical
678
00:33:10,239 --> 00:33:14,140
and possessing all the detail
that the Face on Mars possesses.
679
00:33:14,202 --> 00:33:17,143
The other interesting thing
about the Face on Mars
680
00:33:17,205 --> 00:33:20,572
is that NASA has taken,
over the last 25, 30 years,
681
00:33:20,666 --> 00:33:23,483
over 40 images
of the Face on Mars,
682
00:33:23,544 --> 00:33:26,504
a formation that they say
they have no interest in.
683
00:33:26,664 --> 00:33:29,322
If the Face on Mars is, in fact,
684
00:33:29,383 --> 00:33:32,417
a fabricated structure,
who built it?
685
00:33:32,512 --> 00:33:35,087
Does it have a connection
to the giant face
686
00:33:35,181 --> 00:33:37,831
recently discovered in Canada
687
00:33:37,892 --> 00:33:40,667
and perhaps other structures
around the globe
688
00:33:40,728 --> 00:33:43,746
that were made to be seen
from the sky?
689
00:33:43,773 --> 00:33:45,931
Curiously,
690
00:33:46,025 --> 00:33:49,026
many who have examined
the Face on Mars have observed
691
00:33:49,186 --> 00:33:51,511
that the area surrounding it
seems to point
692
00:33:51,572 --> 00:33:54,865
to a connection
to one specific place on Earth,
693
00:33:55,025 --> 00:33:56,942
Egypt.
694
00:33:57,036 --> 00:33:59,036
Something extraordinary happened
695
00:33:59,196 --> 00:34:02,264
when we started taking pictures
of the surface of Mars.
696
00:34:02,291 --> 00:34:06,769
We saw what appeared to be
pyramids on the surface of Mars.
697
00:34:06,796 --> 00:34:08,437
It's mind-blowing,
698
00:34:08,464 --> 00:34:12,791
because these match
the pyramids of ancient Egypt.
699
00:34:12,885 --> 00:34:16,111
Is there a connection
between Mars and Egypt?
700
00:34:16,138 --> 00:34:17,704
Well, indeed, there is.
701
00:34:17,765 --> 00:34:19,948
The city of Cairo
702
00:34:19,976 --> 00:34:22,709
was originally called
al-Qahirah, which meant
703
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:26,046
"City of Mars"
or "the Victorious."
704
00:34:26,107 --> 00:34:28,974
The Egyptians referred
to the Sphinx
705
00:34:29,068 --> 00:34:31,051
as Ra-Horakhty,
706
00:34:31,112 --> 00:34:33,478
which means
"Place of the Horizon,"
707
00:34:33,573 --> 00:34:37,390
which is the very same name
that they gave to Mars.
708
00:34:37,451 --> 00:34:40,560
So there seems to be
a-a deep-embedded memory
709
00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:43,247
in ancient Egypt of
a correspondence or a connection
710
00:34:43,407 --> 00:34:45,324
between Egyptian civilization
711
00:34:45,418 --> 00:34:47,918
and one
that might have been on Mars.
712
00:34:48,078 --> 00:34:50,921
If we are dealing with something
713
00:34:51,081 --> 00:34:53,424
extraterrestrial in origin,
714
00:34:53,584 --> 00:34:57,077
then the-the Egyptian connection
715
00:34:57,138 --> 00:34:58,762
is very telling,
716
00:34:58,922 --> 00:35:01,581
because many, many speculations
717
00:35:01,642 --> 00:35:06,920
about the extraterrestrial links
with ancient Egypt.
718
00:35:06,981 --> 00:35:09,665
But if there is a connection
719
00:35:09,692 --> 00:35:13,259
between the Cydonia region
of Mars and ancient Egypt,
720
00:35:13,321 --> 00:35:15,595
what is the significance?
721
00:35:15,656 --> 00:35:18,173
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
722
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,342
further clues can be found
723
00:35:20,369 --> 00:35:23,436
by taking a closer look
at the Badlands Guardian
724
00:35:23,497 --> 00:35:26,865
and the famous ruler
it's thought to depict.
725
00:35:26,959 --> 00:35:29,518
The Badlands Guardian
726
00:35:29,545 --> 00:35:31,854
is very similar
727
00:35:31,881 --> 00:35:33,856
to the statues of Akhenaten,
728
00:35:33,883 --> 00:35:36,708
the renegade Egyptian pharaoh.
729
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:39,361
He and Nefertiti
and their children
730
00:35:39,388 --> 00:35:41,546
all had elongated heads,
731
00:35:41,641 --> 00:35:44,624
as we see all around the world
732
00:35:44,685 --> 00:35:49,295
and is often associated
with extraterrestrials.
733
00:35:49,357 --> 00:35:52,799
When you put an image of
the Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten,
734
00:35:52,860 --> 00:35:55,544
beside the image
of the Badlands Guardian,
735
00:35:55,571 --> 00:35:57,804
they're virtually identical.
736
00:35:57,865 --> 00:35:59,885
When you do the "A" to "B"
comparison,
737
00:35:59,909 --> 00:36:03,994
they both have this long neck,
this very elongated face.
738
00:36:04,154 --> 00:36:05,721
And Akhenaten, of course,
739
00:36:05,748 --> 00:36:08,907
is the great mystic pharaoh
of ancient Egypt.
740
00:36:09,001 --> 00:36:11,151
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
741
00:36:11,212 --> 00:36:14,004
that he might have
extraterrestrial connections.
742
00:36:14,164 --> 00:36:18,083
Akhenaten claimed
that he was in contact
743
00:36:18,177 --> 00:36:21,828
with a celestial disk
he referred to as the Aten.
744
00:36:21,889 --> 00:36:24,756
In fact, he taught the Egyptians
to no longer worship
745
00:36:24,850 --> 00:36:28,093
the whole pantheon
of over 360 deities
746
00:36:28,187 --> 00:36:30,746
and to only worship the Aten.
747
00:36:30,773 --> 00:36:33,248
And given the fact
that his mummy has disappeared
748
00:36:33,275 --> 00:36:35,100
only adds to the mystery.
749
00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:38,845
Is this, in fact,
a human being we're looking at
750
00:36:38,906 --> 00:36:41,590
or could this possibly be
a representation
751
00:36:41,617 --> 00:36:44,034
of some other type of a being,
752
00:36:44,194 --> 00:36:45,869
maybe an extraterrestrial, even?
753
00:36:46,029 --> 00:36:48,780
If the Badlands Guardian
754
00:36:48,874 --> 00:36:52,117
is a representation
not of a Native American
755
00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:56,046
but of an extraterrestrial known
in Egypt as Akhenaten,
756
00:36:56,206 --> 00:36:58,531
could it bring us closer
to solving a puzzle
757
00:36:58,592 --> 00:37:01,443
whose pieces are scattered
all over the world
758
00:37:01,470 --> 00:37:04,054
and even on other planets?
759
00:37:04,214 --> 00:37:06,798
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
760
00:37:06,892 --> 00:37:09,284
that a much more recent
discovery on Mars
761
00:37:09,311 --> 00:37:11,061
provides yet another piece
762
00:37:11,221 --> 00:37:14,189
that may finally complete
the puzzle.
763
00:37:21,398 --> 00:37:23,574
Waterford, Virginia.
764
00:37:23,734 --> 00:37:26,151
2017.
765
00:37:26,245 --> 00:37:29,729
Cydonia Institute researcher
George Haas
766
00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:32,416
is combing
through satellite images of Mars
767
00:37:32,576 --> 00:37:35,660
when he spies
a discernible shape.
768
00:37:35,755 --> 00:37:39,815
It appears to be
the image of another face.
769
00:37:39,842 --> 00:37:43,243
Unlike the original
so-called Face on Mars
770
00:37:43,304 --> 00:37:45,654
discovered in 1976,
771
00:37:45,681 --> 00:37:48,414
this face appears in profile,
772
00:37:48,476 --> 00:37:51,769
similar to that
of the Badlands Guardian.
773
00:37:51,929 --> 00:37:53,419
So, in this area
774
00:37:53,481 --> 00:37:54,830
called Utopia,
775
00:37:54,857 --> 00:37:57,090
in a huge impact crater,
776
00:37:57,151 --> 00:37:59,001
is the profile face
777
00:37:59,028 --> 00:38:01,837
that has a beard, a mustache,
778
00:38:01,864 --> 00:38:04,698
and he's wearing a helmet
that has an avian headdress.
779
00:38:05,868 --> 00:38:07,951
When the bearded profile on Mars
780
00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:10,846
is compared
to the Badlands Guardian,
781
00:38:10,873 --> 00:38:13,606
we see the same type of profile.
782
00:38:13,667 --> 00:38:16,518
Both incorporate
avian iconography.
783
00:38:16,545 --> 00:38:18,128
One has a headdress of feathers.
784
00:38:18,288 --> 00:38:19,933
The other one
is wearing a headdress
785
00:38:19,957 --> 00:38:22,115
that incorporates
an entire bird.
786
00:38:22,176 --> 00:38:25,118
I think the culture
that produced these formations
787
00:38:25,179 --> 00:38:29,056
on Mars had a direct
relationship to the human race.
788
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:32,534
Is an ancient story
789
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:35,813
being told through geoglyphs
that exist both on Earth
790
00:38:35,973 --> 00:38:38,723
and on our closest
neighboring planet?
791
00:38:38,818 --> 00:38:40,709
And, if so,
792
00:38:40,736 --> 00:38:44,137
what happened to those
responsible for writing it?
793
00:38:44,198 --> 00:38:47,640
Perhaps civilization on Mars
was destroyed.
794
00:38:47,701 --> 00:38:49,401
Or, perhaps,
795
00:38:49,495 --> 00:38:52,979
civilization began on Mars
796
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,149
and then moved to Earth.
797
00:38:56,210 --> 00:39:00,504
Earth was, in a sense, seeded
by a Martian civilization,
798
00:39:00,664 --> 00:39:02,247
and that is why we have
799
00:39:02,341 --> 00:39:05,992
similar structures on Mars
and on planet Earth.
800
00:39:06,053 --> 00:39:10,163
So, with the discovery
of the Face on Mars,
801
00:39:10,224 --> 00:39:12,407
is it possible
802
00:39:12,434 --> 00:39:14,667
that it's acting as a clue,
803
00:39:14,728 --> 00:39:16,595
it's telling us
804
00:39:16,689 --> 00:39:20,082
that, somewhere here,
is evidence
805
00:39:20,109 --> 00:39:22,417
of a lost civilization
806
00:39:22,444 --> 00:39:25,921
that existed on the Red Planet
807
00:39:25,948 --> 00:39:28,031
perhaps millions of years ago?
808
00:39:28,191 --> 00:39:31,093
That's a very tantalizing
possibility,
809
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,928
and it's one that I know
810
00:39:32,955 --> 00:39:35,764
that every scientist
going to Mars
811
00:39:35,791 --> 00:39:37,499
wants to answer.
812
00:39:38,961 --> 00:39:40,711
Maybe these geoglyphs
813
00:39:40,871 --> 00:39:43,529
were all part
of some global memorial
814
00:39:43,591 --> 00:39:46,791
that was built by some unknown
extraterrestrial culture
815
00:39:46,886 --> 00:39:49,628
that, uh, has to do
with, uh, human origins
816
00:39:49,722 --> 00:39:52,038
and is telling the story
of where we came from
817
00:39:52,099 --> 00:39:54,059
and possibly where
we may be going.
818
00:39:54,217 --> 00:39:57,710
You have to ask,
is there something in common
819
00:39:57,771 --> 00:40:01,381
between the people that
were making these geoglyphs,
820
00:40:01,442 --> 00:40:04,126
and the answer is, is that
they all have similar stories
821
00:40:04,153 --> 00:40:05,903
in these earthly civilizations.
822
00:40:07,573 --> 00:40:10,148
They're in contact
with star beings,
823
00:40:10,242 --> 00:40:12,202
celestial beings
that came to Earth
824
00:40:12,235 --> 00:40:14,819
and are assisting humanity.
825
00:40:14,914 --> 00:40:17,748
They lived with us,
they interacted with us.
826
00:40:17,908 --> 00:40:19,808
Then they left.
827
00:40:19,835 --> 00:40:22,235
But is it possible
828
00:40:22,296 --> 00:40:25,147
that not all of the
communications we're receiving
829
00:40:25,174 --> 00:40:29,484
from these otherworldly beings
are in the form of geoglyphs?
830
00:40:29,511 --> 00:40:31,820
Could crop circles,
for instance,
831
00:40:31,847 --> 00:40:33,505
be more recent examples
832
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:37,083
of a type
of extraterrestrial dialogue?
833
00:40:37,144 --> 00:40:41,680
If you bring
crop circles into the mix,
834
00:40:41,774 --> 00:40:43,919
there are some
very sophisticated crop circles
835
00:40:43,943 --> 00:40:46,777
that also indicate, uh,
knowledge of fractal geometry.
836
00:40:46,937 --> 00:40:48,503
There could be a message.
837
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:50,258
They might be communicating
with us,
838
00:40:50,282 --> 00:40:53,508
and we might, perhaps,
want to communicate with them.
839
00:40:53,535 --> 00:40:56,861
It's possible
that many of these geoglyphs,
840
00:40:56,956 --> 00:40:59,957
much like crop circles
that appear every summer,
841
00:41:00,117 --> 00:41:02,608
might give us clues to our past
842
00:41:02,670 --> 00:41:04,352
and to our destiny.
843
00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:06,371
The fact of the matter is
844
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:09,615
that we have geoglyphs
worldwide.
845
00:41:09,677 --> 00:41:12,527
And with the improvement
of our technology,
846
00:41:12,554 --> 00:41:15,697
who knows what else
we'll discover
847
00:41:15,724 --> 00:41:17,882
in the next five to ten years?
848
00:41:17,977 --> 00:41:22,721
We are entering
a new era of discovery,
849
00:41:22,815 --> 00:41:26,733
and I can't wait to see
what tomorrow brings.
850
00:41:30,656 --> 00:41:33,898
As we send more spacecrafts
to Mars,
851
00:41:33,993 --> 00:41:36,384
will we continue
to uncover evidence
852
00:41:36,412 --> 00:41:38,644
of an alien civilization
853
00:41:38,706 --> 00:41:41,999
that could have lived there
centuries ago?
854
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:46,319
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
855
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:49,080
and believe
that the human race is getting
856
00:41:49,174 --> 00:41:51,508
very close to the day
when it will unlock
857
00:41:51,668 --> 00:41:54,344
what they believe
to be an alien code
858
00:41:54,504 --> 00:41:58,682
and find a means
of direct communication,
859
00:41:58,842 --> 00:42:01,743
a living link
between mankind's past
860
00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:05,080
and its extraterrestrial future.
