It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
JONATHAN YOUNG: Hawaii is a utopian place.
Some say Edenic.
NARRATOR: But could the Hawaiian Islands
also be something much, much more?
A place that is not only a destination for tourists,
but for extraterrestrial visitors?
NICK POPE: Hawaii seems to be at the center
of a wave of UFO sightings.
Wow, these don't look like humans, do they?
MICHAEL SALLA: When I first saw that tiki,
first thought that came to my mind was,
"That's a Grey extraterrestrial."
NARRATOR: Could Hawaii be one of the hot spots
of alien activity on our planet?
And could it serve as a portal
that not only attracts beings from other worlds to us,
but could, one day, offer mankind
a gateway to other worlds?
SALLA: Hawaii is the place where extraterrestrials travel through
to go to other places throughout the entire planet.
NARRATOR: There is a doorway
in the universe.
Beyond it is the promise of truth.
It demands we question everything
we have ever been taught.
The evidence is all around us.
The future is right before our eyes.
We are not alone.
We have never been alone.
Hawaii.
To visitors and tourists, it is a paradise on Earth,
a land of cascading waterfalls, breathtaking scenery,
and captivating volcanoes.
But this tropical island chain
is not merely a beautiful and romantic travel destination.
To the people that have inhabited
this land for centuries,
and who carry with them the traditions of their ancestors,
Hawaii is something very different.
For them, it is the place where beings from the sky
came to Earth centuries ago.
And a place where many,
like tribal elder Kimokeo Kapahulehua,
believe these so-called sky people are destined to return.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the ancient stories of the native Hawaiians
are, in fact, evidence of early human contact
with extraterrestrials?
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
the answer is yes.
And they believe one of the reasons
that extraterrestrial visitors chose the Hawaiian Islands
as a destination is the fact that the islands were then,
as now, largely remote and, in some cases,
relatively uninhabited.
If I were an extraterrestrial in-in the remote past
and I was looking for the perfect laboratory
to engineer a new species of mankind,
I would look no further than the most remote place on the Earth,
which is the Hawaiian Islands.
Before the arrival of Europeans,
there were no reptiles, no mosquitoes, no rats.
It was as pure a place as any on our planet.
And in many ways, it was the perfect spot
for a terrestrial laboratory.
NARRATOR: In addition to being
one of the most remote places on the planet,
Hawaii is also one of the most volatile.
It is home to literally hundreds of volcanoes,
and three of them are still very active.
WILLIAM HENRY: She was embodied as a beautiful woman,
Hawaiian mythology says, who also had a wrathful nature,
and if you didn't respect her wishes,
it was not gonna be a very good day.
FELICIA BEARDSLEY: Pele is an angry goddess, in many ways.
But she's also seen as a creator,
because she creates land.
There's a belief and-and a full-on respect of Pele.
NARRATOR: For Hawaiian natives, Pele is but one of many beings
they call "star people,"
and all things that happen on Earth
are connected to the stars.
Each autumn,
when the Pleiades star system appears on the horizon,
practitioners of the old native Hawaiian faith
gather to celebrate the harvest
and honor the otherworldly visitors
whose direct descendants also serve as the tribal elites.
NARRATOR: In ancient times, the largest harvest season celebrations
occurred at the foot of Hawaii's tallest mountain,
which, according to legend, was the central geological feature
of a lost continent called Lemuria.
There are countless stories about a lost continent
that was swallowed up by the sea,
and that continent was called Lemuria.
Lemuria is said to have been the home
of the planet's tallest mountain.
So in order to determine Lemuria's possible location
in a region that-that could fit our mythology,
we have to change our perspective a little bit.
When considering mountains that rise directly from the floor
of a tectonic plate... Which Mount Everest doesn't do...
And the distance from the actual base to the actual summit,
Mauna Kea is by far the tallest mountain in the world
and it's nearly a mile taller than Mount Everest.
It is the most massive land mass on the planet,
and it is a critical place when it comes to the traditions
of the Hawaiian Islanders
welcoming back the star visitors.
It's also the time of the rising of the Pleiades,
and what it signals is this time of great joy and festivities.
The people gather to celebrate prosperity or coming prosperity.
NARRATOR: For native Hawaiians,
the Pleiades is much more than just a constellation.
This cluster of stars, 444.2 light-years away, are the stars
from which the native Hawaiians trace their very origins.
The Pleiades plays an absolutely central role in the mythology
of people spread right across the Pacific.
All the way to Australia, Japan, we hear these stories
that, once upon a time, beings from the Pleiades arrived here.
And that they in some way involved themselves
in human evolution.
There is no question that the elders of Hawaii
have a belief that their ancestors came from the stars.
NARRATOR: In the Hawaiian tradition, the star people
are most often referred to as the akua or atua,
and are responsible for the creation of humankind.
HENRY: These are supernatural beings
that appear to have superhuman powers.
The chiefs and royalty of ancient Hawaii
were considered to be the offspring of the atua.
NARRATOR: Similarly named creator gods can be found in cultures
throughout Oceania, a geographic region
which includes Australasia, Melanesia,
Micronesia, and Polynesia.
In Micronesia, they call them aitu.
In the Philippines, anito.
And in Malaysia, ant...
The terms atua and akua for a type of gods or beings
throughout the Pacific region is-is quite fascinating.
Because when we dig into that lore,
we're told that there's these entities
that are often, in some sense, invisible,
but can interact with human beings and animals.
You know, are these some kind of
interdimensional extraterrestrials
that can hide themself at will,
engineer situations where they can then appear to be humans?
It's a very strange set of legends.
I suspect that we really have here
a history pointing to some kind of ancient visitation,
with these beings arriving
and involving themself in human origins.
NARRATOR: Could it be, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest,
that the story of humankind's true origins can be found
within the Hawaiian traditions,
and that these islands were a point of first contact?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the iconic wooden sculptures
that exist throughout the entire Hawaiian Island chain...
the tiki.
CHILDRESS: So, you're thinking these
- are extraterrestrial races? - Totally.
SALLA: The akua came here with spacecrafts.
This one is pretty odd, standing here by the water.
SALLA: That's a Grey extraterrestrial.
NARRATOR: Honaunau, Hawaii.
June 2019.
On the west coast
of what is commonly called the Big Island,
ancient astronaut theorist David Childress
is traveling with his colleague
Dr. Michael Salla, a Hawaiian resident
and an expert on local history.
It is David's belief that, thousands of years ago,
this area of the world
was not only a place of alien visitation,
but was actually inhabited by extraterrestrials.
CHILDRESS: Well, Michael,
I'm really excited to be here in Hawaii with you.
I've traveled around the Pacific,
and I have been to Hawaii before,
but I really want to understand Hawaii's extraterrestrial past
and its ancient history,
the many unusual sites here, and,
and even what's going on today here in Hawaii.
SALLA: It's fascinating. I mean, this is something
that I didn't expect when I moved out here,
that Hawaii had this kind of extraterrestrial contact,
this, uh, this history,
but that's one of the things I kept hearing,
and as I began to learn more about Hawaii's history,
it became clear
that a lot of Hawaiians really trace their ancestors
to extraterrestrial visitors
that came here tens of thousands of years ago.
NARRATOR: David and Michael are on their way
to Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park,
home to a number of giant statues and native exhibits.
SALLA: At Honaunau you have this,
uh, temple complex,
uh, which basically dates back to the Hawaiian Kingdom
and it has some of the best tiki statues of the akua, the gods...
Extraterrestrials in my view...
That you can find anywhere on the islands.
NARRATOR: At the park,
a great wall marks a boundary between an area
that was once considered royal grounds
and a sanctuary where lawbreakers
could gain refuge and absolution.
Iconic wooden statues with strange features
surround the Hale o Keawe temple, which houses the remains
of Hawaiian chiefs,
remains that are still thought by the native Hawaiians
to emanate power, or mana, throughout the area.
David, I know you've got this theory
about extraterrestrial contact
and technology being spread throughout the Pacific,
and we've got some
really interesting tikis that I think kind of lend support
to that theory.
Yeah, they look pretty interesting, and, uh,
this one is pretty odd.
He's standing here by the water.
SALLA: When I first saw that tiki,
first thought that came to my mind was,
"That's a Grey extraterrestrial."
And this is one of the kind of helpers,
or the menehune, that the Hawaiians
believe were created by the gods, or the akua.
So, is this the akua right here, these guys
- with the big headdresses? - SALLA: Exactly, yeah.
Those are the akua. They had four principal akua
that were basically the creators of humanity
and helped establish civilization on the planet.
NARRATOR: One year ago,
when David was investigating the Marquesas Islands,
located 2,300 miles south of Hawaii,
he encountered similar tiki statues,
and discovered that they, too,
are associated with ancient gods.
But here in Honaunau
there appear to be two different types of beings
depicted by the tiki.
So you're thinking these are two different
- extraterrestrial races? - Totally.
CHILDRESS: They have different kind of eyes, too.
SALLA: Yeah, I mean, this to me,
looks like the akua were extraterrestrial
and they knew about genetic experimentation
and they created these beings,
menehune, or Grey aliens,
to basically be servants.
And you can see that, from the lack of a headdress,
they're bald,
which signifies they had low social status.
NARRATOR: According to ancient Hawaiian stories,
the menehune were humanlike beings of short stature
who were created by the akua.
KAPAHULEHUA: The menehunes was a little dwarf people,
and, uh, they always came out in the evening
because they were not so much humanlike-looking.
YOUNG: Menehune are small,
magical creatures that are thought
sometimes to have been descendants
of the earliest inhabitants
that came before the Hawaiians from Polynesia.
There are canals, waterways, gulfs...
built, they say, by the menehune.
The work was done at night.
They don't want to be seen and they work incredibly quickly,
so sometimes a whole retaining wall
will have been built in a single night.
LOREN COLEMAN: I visited all of the structures
that supposedly were built by the menehune.
There's a menehune fishpond
that's huge, has 900 feet of a wall
surrounding this one area
and then they would use that as a reservoir for fish.
There's also called the Menehune Ditch.
It was a way to channel fresh water.
It is old in structure
and before the Hawaiians.
NARRATOR: Before the Hawaiians?
Could this account of a pre-Hawaiian
and pre-human water channel lend credence
to the Hawaiian genesis story,
a story which also contains depictions
of genetic engineering?
These were, I believe, extraterrestrial hybrids
that had been created to help the Pleiadeans
and other races establish their civilizations
or their genetic experiments on the Earth.
The menehune are said to have built
these unusual structures on Kaua'i.
Archaeologists do not know who built them.
The Hawaiians say, "Oh,
"these little people of the past,
they're the ones that built them."
These little people
are somehow ancestors to the Hawaiians,
who are actually very tall and large.
The Polynesians are the largest race of people
still on the planet, and yet
their own stories go back to these little people
who are building stuff for them.
NARRATOR: While many dismiss the menehune
as little more than mythological figures,
a census from 200 years ago
seems to provide historical documentation
that they may have actually existed.
COLEMAN: The first census on Kaua'i
took place in 1820, and that census said that,
of the 2,000 people that were counted,
65 of them were menehune.
NARRATOR: Confirming the account of the 1820 census,
the Hawaiian Almanac and Annual of 1913
states that during the reign of Kaumualii
in the early 19th century, a census recorded 65 menehune
living in the small hamlet of Laau.
The almanac reports an "allied race of older extraction
2 1/2 to three feet high"
and concludes "as far as the little people of Laau,
they were forgotten in the lapse of years."
CHILDRESS: Hawaiian Islands are so remote.
This is one of the most remote places in the world.
Do you think that Hawaii was, perhaps, some special
- extraterrestrial base? - I believe so.
And it's interesting that this area
is part of Kealakekua which ac... literally means
- "Pathway of the Gods." - Pathway of the Gods, okay.
Well, that can be translated as "doorway."
NARRATOR: Are the tikis a record
of ancient alien activity in Hawaii?
If so, what were the islands used for?
And where did these otherworldly visitors go?
Perhaps further clues can be found by venturing inside
one of the island's largest volcanoes.
E Pacific Ocean. 20,000 BC.
It is during this period that the surface of the Earth
is frozen in the grip of a glacial period
otherwise known as the Ice Age.
It is a time when sea levels are dramatically lower,
nearly 400 feet below where they are today,
and these lower sea levels have created expansive landmasses
which, as the ice melts,
some 12,000 years ago,
begin to disappear beneath the surface of the rising oceans.
Is it possible that some of these landmasses
were home to lost civilizations?
Civilizations for which we have no historical record
and which may have been far more advanced
than we know?
We live on a very restless Earth that's constantly moving
with earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanic activity.
Continents rise and fall.
Mountain ranges are torn apart.
All kinds of civilizations could have come
and gone on our planet.
We know that there are over 200
known submerged cities in the Mediterranean.
There's just so much on our planet
that we have yet to find out.
NARRATOR: Throughout history,
a number of stories have been told
about great civilizations that disappeared into the ocean
thousands of years ago.
The most famous of these, Atlantis,
was written about by Plato in the fourth century BC
and is still believed by many to have truly existed.
But there is another lost continent
that is said to have existed at the same time as Atlantis
and looms large in Hawaiian traditions:
Lemuria.
Lemuria was in the South Pacific.
It is thought to have connected the Hawaiian Islands
and the other island systems out in that part of the planet,
so it was a huge land bridge.
In the lore, Lemuria
was an extraordinary civilization before it sank
into the sea.
Story has it, Hawaii is a surviving fragment
of the enormous landmass.
Lemuria existed prior to the last great flood
that occurred around 9600 BC, which was a catastrophe,
which led to the water levels all around the Earth rising
as much as 400 feet.
NARRATOR: According to legend, before the two lost continents
were destroyed by a great flood,
there was a war between Lemuria and Atlantis.
SALLA: This was the destruction of the Lemurian civilization.
The Lemurians were driven
into these underground cavern systems.
The Hawaiian peoples really understand
that they are the descendants of some great civilizations,
and that they have some kind of responsibility
of preserving the culture of that.
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorist David Childress
and Hawaiian history expert Dr. Michael Salla
are on the Big Island to explore the underground caverns
the Lemurians are said to have retreated to.
SALLA: Yeah, there is a bit of spelunking
here on the Big Island.
NARRATOR: These caverns are actually
enormous lava tubes
that exist throughout the volcanic island chain,
and some locals believe they are still inhabited
by the Lemurians.
CHILDRESS: Wow, this is huge.
SALLA: Yeah, it goes back two miles in that direction,
and the whole lava tube is 25 miles long,
- all the way from Mauna Loa. - Wow.
These walls are 30 feet high or more.
SALLA: Right. There's lava tubes that are
- much bigger than this as well. - Okay.
Tell me what happened here.
SALLA: Well, this is part
of an extensive cavern system
throughout the Big Island of Hawaii,
where you have these lava tubes.
And this kind of cavern and these lava tubes
have been here for tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands of years, so at some point
in its history the Lemurians found this cavern system
and built it out.
And so, when they were in a war
against the Atlantians, this was their refuge.
So, down inside these lava tubes,
what do you think, that there are, like, secret doors
that are hidden with this high technology?
SALLA: Well, there's a lot of secrets in these lava tubes,
in these caves.
What we're not seeing in the caves
are entry points into this hidden labyrinth
of portals and tunnel systems
that lie underneath the entire Big Island.
They're well hidden.
This is part of Hawaiian legend.
The extraterrestrials had cloaking technology,
and so the doorways would just look like an ordinary rock face.
NARRATOR: According to Hawaiian legend,
these lava tubes have been inhabited
not only by the ancient Lemurians
but also by the akua,
the visitors that are said to have arrived here
from the Pleiades...
and the dwarf people they created
called the menehune.
But if these ancient ancestors of Hawaii possessed technology
that allowed them to conceal doorways to secret passages
and chambers within the lava tubes,
could they still be hiding out in them...
today?
CHILDRESS: There's other places around the Earth
where there are these strange tunnels like this,
and sometimes people are said to go inside them and...
and disappear, or they encounter strange beings
inside these tunnels.
- Has that happened here? - Oh, definitely.
I mean, there are a lot of Hawaiian stories
of people going into these tunnels
and having encounters with menehune
or with the sorcerers or even with the akua themselves.
I've even had an experience here with my wife where...
we had some kind of mystical experience
where the akua communicated and basically said,
"We're coming back."
A telepathic communication... Just she suddenly had...
- inside this tunnel? - That's right, in this very tunnel.
We were meditating,
and she had that kind of telepathic download.
On its own, it just doesn't mean much,
but many other people have had
these kinds of mystical experiences
in the caverns, and even had encounters
with beings in these caverns.
NARRATOR: If people today are reporting encounters
with strange beings in the lava tubes,
where are they coming from?
Could it be that Hawaii was not only a hub
of extraterrestrial visitation thousands of years ago,
but that it continues to serve as an entry point
for otherworldly visitors?
But if so, how is it possible
that such activity continues undetected?
Ancient astronaut theorists say the answer can be found
by examining sacred rock art,
which suggests Hawaii is home to an incredible anomaly.
CH Pu'u Loa Petroglyph Field.
Hawaii.
Ancient astronaut theorist David Childress
and Hawaiian resident and historian Dr. Michael Salla
have arrived at Pu'u Loa to continue their investigation
of Hawaii's ancient secrets.
At Pu'u Loa, over 23,000 individual works of art
stretch over several miles of rocky terrain.
CHILDRESS: You know, Michael,
our access to the petroglyphs here is quite limited,
because this is a very sacred area.
But from these petroglyphs that I see,
they're identical to what you see in Easter Island,
throughout Polynesia, really.
What we see here with the human figures,
they're holding their arms and their postures.
This is identical, really,
to Rongorongo.
NARRATOR: Rongorongo?
The mysterious ancient script
that has been found on Easter Island,
roughly 4,500 miles away?
CHILDRESS: These petroglyphs are very unusual.
They're humanoid figures,
but each one is different.
Actually, they're very similar to the Rongorongo writing
that we find at Easter Island
that is still undeciphered and mysterious.
So, some Hawaiians, David, believe that Hawaii
was the birthing place of all humanity,
that this is the legendary Hawaiki,
this is where the... people, the humanity was birthed
and actually spread throughout all of Polynesia
and throughout the entire planet.
CHILDRESS: So, what do you think about this one right here
in the middle with the concentric circles?
You see this in the American Southwest,
where, in fact, the American Indians call these portals.
Where you have concentric circles are going around,
uh, sometimes a spiral, and for them,
it is also... it's an energy field,
a-a portal to other dimensions.
SALLA: Right, well, that-that would fit in
with, um, a lot of the things that Hawaiians believe
about the Big Island... That this is sacred ground,
there's a lot of energy that flows through this island.
It even goes back to the kind of idea
of Hawaii being the birthing place
for the whole Polynesian peoples.
For all the Polynesian people, and-and also that...
- that Hawaii itself is a portal, right? - That's right, yeah.
NARRATOR: A portal?
Did the ancient Polynesian people believe
that some kind of cosmic gateway existed in Hawaii,
through which beings could travel here
from other parts of the universe?
The scientific concept of a wormhole
was first proposed by Albert Einstein
and Nathan Rosen in 1935,
who suggested that space-time could be bent
to bring two distant points together.
While it may sound far-fetched,
some scientists suggest it is possible
that such portals, or wormholes, may actually exist,
and not only in deep space
but also right here on Earth.
JOHN BRANDENBURG: It became sort of accepted
as actually being real that there would be portals,
or wormholes, in space.
But as we deepen our understanding of physics,
it raises the possibility of wormholes and portals
being able to be accessible here on Earth.
It appears possible, theoretically,
to manipulate electromagnetic fields
and change the structure of space-time,
perhaps dramatically.
Now, can this happen in a geophysical realm?
Possibly.
The Earth has a magnetic field,
it has an electric field,
and those vary from place to place.
Would there be areas on Earth where perhaps...
might be prone to space-time instability,
changes in topology,
doors, portals opening and closing?
It's very possible.
NARRATOR: According to geologists,
the undersea magma source called the "Hawaii hot spot"
continues to give birth to new volcanoes.
And the volcanic rock produced by these volcanoes
are rich in crystalline materials
that are capable of producing electromagnetic fields
by means of what scientists refer to
as the piezoelectric effect.
If you have a region with...
an electric field anomaly...
and if you can create
strong enough electromagnetic phenomena,
you can perhaps change the geometry of space-time,
leading to portal-like phenomena.
NARRATOR: Does the unique geography of Hawaii
offer the perfect conditions
for the shifting of electromagnetic energy?
Conditions that could actually bend space and time,
resulting in the creation of a time-space portal?
According to many ancient astronaut theorists,
the answer is a profound yes.
Hawaii was the place where a lot of humanity
and extraterrestrials were able to travel through
to go to other places throughout the Pacific
and the entire planet.
And that's been happening for centuries, millennia,
and it's even happening now.
NARRATOR: If the island of Hawaii once served
as some sort of spaceport,
a destination where extraterrestrial visitors
were able to come by means of an interdimensional gateway,
or portal, could that portal still be operating today?
Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining the area located
at the exact same latitude as Hawaii's biggest volcano,
but located on another planet.
NARRATOR: Mauna Loa, the Big Island.
This active volcano is one of the largest in the world,
and is estimated to have been erupting
for at least 700,000 years.
Not far from Mauna Loa is the Kilauea hot spot
that continues to spew lava to this day.
But perhaps the most significant aspect of Mauna Loa
is its location on planet Earth.
Now, one of the critical things to keep in mind
is that the Mauna Loa volcano in particular is located
at 19.47 latitude in the Northern Hemisphere.
That area sitting at 19.47 is called Kealakekua,
which means "Pathway of the Gods."
NARRATOR: According to ancient astronaut theorists,
natural formations and structures found at a latitude
of 19.5 degrees form a kind of a pattern,
what some refer to as cosmic geometry.
HENRY: The Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan is at 19.5 degrees.
So is Easter Island, the hurricane belt.
But most importantly, the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii
is also located at 19.5 degrees.
NARRATOR: Perhaps even more profound than the pattern found here on Earth
is the one found on other planets in our solar system.
HENRY: On Mars, for example,
we find the Mons Olympus volcano,
the largest volcano in our solar system,
is located at 19.5 degrees.
The giant Red Spot on Jupiter is at 19.5 degrees.
CAROLINE CORY: Everything in the universe is geometric.
Your physical body, physical cells,
the tree, the buildings, everything is geometric.
Sacred geometry is the pattern in which these geometries
are organized, according to ratios and proportions.
Now, when you say something is organized,
it implies that there is a cosmic intelligence behind it.
NARRATOR: One of the important shapes in sacred geometry,
and one that also has a connection to the 19.5 latitude,
is the three-sided pyramid known as the tetrahedron.
SALLA: When you have two tetrahedrons
inverted over one another,
that forms a star tetrahedron.
When we look at a star tetrahedron and where it fits
inside of a sphere, the vertices of a star tetrahedron impact
the sphere at 19.5 latitude both north and south.
And that is exactly where the Big Island of Hawaii is
in relationship to the entire planet.
CORY: Because of the planet's geometry,
you're going to have hot spots that would be
very strongly charged in such a way
that you could use these hot spots to teleport
from one point to the other.
Or these hot spots could be used
for intergalactic travel or interplanetary travel.
NARRATOR: Could sacred geometry support the notion
that Hawaii is perfectly positioned to create portals...
Portals that could not only offer shortcuts
to other parts of the world
but also other parts of the universe?
For many native Hawaiians and ancient astronaut theorists,
the answer is a resounding yes,
and they believe that these portals have made Hawaii
a virtual hub of alien visitation,
one that exists even to this day.
Pahoa, Hawaii.
June 27, 2014.
Hawaiian noble Robert Kel'iiho'omalu,
affectionately known as Uncle Robert,
opens the Star Visitor Sanctuary,
a dedicated landing site
for extraterrestrials visiting the Earth.
Until his death in 2015,
Uncle Robert stood at the forefront
of his people's efforts to maintain contact
with the star beings who they believe
are the Hawaiian people's true ancestors.
(singing in foreign language)
NARRATOR: Today his dream continues
thanks to the efforts
of people like his nephew-in-law
Garry Hoffeld.
Uncle Robert was considered to be
the konohiki of the area there.
And there were other chiefs in the area,
but amongst those chiefs,
they came to Uncle Robert for guidance,
and he was included in-in every decision they made.
NARRATOR: In June 2019,
ancient astronaut theorists David Childress
and Michael Salla arrive in Pahoa.
They are eager to get a personal tour of the sanctuary
and to hear a firsthand account
of its history, creation and mission.
HOFFELD: Uncle Robert, he was the prince of peace,
and he thought that... He called them
our space brothers and sisters...
He thought they could certainly come down,
and perhaps we should greet them with some aloha
instead of with guns pointed at 'em like they might get
someplace else in the world.
So, he was thinking that since the...
space visitors had originally come here to Hawaii,
- they would come back. Is that the idea? - Yeah, yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah. Do you want to come out into the...
- the area we call the Star Sanctuary? - Yeah. This is the...
This is the sanctuary here, right, inside here?
HOFFELD: Yeah, yeah.
CHILDRESS: Right here on the lava fields, huh?
HOFFELD: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
CHILDRESS: Why did he choose
this spot as the center
for the Star Visitor Sanctuary, right here?
Well, yeah, the whole lava field,
uh, creates a kind of new magnetic field out here.
But this area was actually very special,
and it could be a place
for the star visitors to be welcomed
and that they would be given sanctuary
because the Hawaii Kingdom claims sovereignty
to this whole land
and which would be the first time
in our modern history
that a sovereign entity has granted extraterrestrials
the right to land in peace and harmony.
NARRATOR: To many Hawaiians,
the Star Visitor Sanctuary serves as an homage
to their otherworldly origins.
But, if a number of recent reports are true,
could it already be receiving
extraterrestrial visitors?
T astronaut theorists
David Childress and Michael Salla
are at the Star Visitor Sanctuary
on Hawaii's Big Island.
With them is Garry Hoffeld,
a member of the Lawful Hawaiian Government
who was involved in the sanctuary's founding
and helps to oversee the site.
CHILDRESS: So, since you started
this Star Visitor Sanctuary,
has there been some unusual activities
or incidents here, uh, that you've seen?
Um, the day we set this up, just before it got dark,
several people were sitting out here,
and up in the distance on the hill up here,
they said they saw light orbs
come out of the lava flow right there above the ridge,
come across the sky and do a little bit of a hula,
and then, off into the distance, shot off.
- And, I mean... - Wow.
Probably 30 people were here seeing it,
and the next day, the lava started flowing again.
So, they felt this was a sign
from the-the star visitors
that they were glad the Star Visitors Sanctuary...
Perhaps validation of what we're doing. Perhaps coincidence.
But I do believe that there's a portal
hanging out in this particular area opening
to different places, and why not open here
because we've opened a place to do it
rather than someplace else.
Well, this is a pretty amazing spot
and quite fascinating.
Thanks for bringing me here, Michael,
- and-and thank you, Garry, for all this. - Oh, thank you.
I'm glad to share.
NARRATOR: Could it be
that the beings the native Hawaiians refer to
as their star ancestors
have come here to Earth by means of a space-time portal?
For many ancient astronaut theorists,
the answer is yes.
And for them and for many Hawaiian natives,
the Star Visitor Sanctuary represents
an important step in their quest to make contact
with extraterrestrial civilizations.
The idea that Hawaii is building a welcome center
for extraterrestrials is incredible
because their entire legends
are based on so-called star lore,
that their origins are in the stars.
They themselves have said that they are
a direct offspring of the extraterrestrials.
And they are yearning for their return.
Among many Hawaiian groups, there's the belief
that they were the original people.
They were the kind of gateway
for the gods to come and seed planet Earth
with their progeny,
and that's consistent with the idea
that the Hawaiian Island
is a critical portal energy point
for these extraterrestrials from distant star systems
such as the Pleiades.
It was a portal for the Pleiadians
to send their people to the Earth.
They was with us before,
they are with us now, and will be for us forever.
NARRATOR: Do the Hawaiian Islands
offer a profound connection to the stars,
a gateway through which extraterrestrials
have been entering our world for centuries?
Perhaps.
But if such an audacious notion turns out to be true,
how long will it be before we learn how to use
these incredible portals for ourselves
to take our own journeys to other worlds
and to colonize the very universe?
