NARRATOR: Strange tales
of giant beasts...

2
00:00:07,886 --> 00:00:10,786
half-ape and half-human.

3
00:00:10,822 --> 00:00:16,088
DAVID CHILDRESS: Sometimes they have
six fingers and double rows of teeth.

4
00:00:16,394 --> 00:00:19,995
Their strength is tremendous.

5
00:00:20,031 --> 00:00:23,999
NARRATOR: Massive footprints
of mysterious creatures found

6
00:00:24,035 --> 00:00:25,501
around the globe.

7
00:00:25,536 --> 00:00:29,038
JEFF MELDRUM: An adult male
would stand ten feet in height

8
00:00:29,073 --> 00:00:31,540
and weigh a thousand pounds.

9
00:00:31,576 --> 00:00:36,078
NARRATOR: And ancient myths
describing human-like monsters

10
00:00:36,147 --> 00:00:38,814
who travel between dimensions.

11
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:43,686
SABINA MAGLIOCCO: They have the ability
to appear and disappear at will.

12
00:00:43,721 --> 00:00:47,957
NARRATOR: On every continent
there are legends of Bigfoot and

13
00:00:47,992 --> 00:00:51,559
evidence that might prove
the story is true.

14
00:00:51,629 --> 00:00:54,997
CHRIS O'BRIEN: We can't rule
it out as a possibility that

15
00:00:55,032 --> 00:00:58,000
Bigfoot are somehow an
extraterrestrial species.

16
00:00:58,035 --> 00:01:02,104
NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have

17
00:01:02,173 --> 00:01:05,709
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

18
00:01:05,777 --> 00:01:08,378
What if it were true?

19
00:01:08,713 --> 00:01:13,016
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

20
00:01:13,051 --> 00:01:16,719
And if so, might there
be a connection between

21
00:01:16,755 --> 00:01:21,357
extraterrestrials and
the legend of Bigfoot?

NARRATOR: Mount Everest.
November 9, 1951.

24
00:02:01,833 --> 00:02:07,336
On the Menlung Glacier at an
altitude of 18,000 feet, British

25
00:02:07,405 --> 00:02:11,507
explorers Eric Shipton and
Michael Ward came across a

26
00:02:11,543 --> 00:02:14,578
mile-long trail of unusual footprints.

27
00:02:18,481 --> 00:02:21,584
Not expecting to find humans
in this remote corner of the

28
00:02:21,619 --> 00:02:26,857
mountain, the climbers examined the
prints to determine what made them.

29
00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:31,760
To their surprise, the
footprints were in the shape of

30
00:02:31,796 --> 00:02:37,700
a large, human-like foot...
one roughly twice the normal size.

31
00:02:37,702 --> 00:02:41,170
MELDRUM: The footprints suggest
that we're dealing with

32
00:02:41,205 --> 00:02:44,607
a large primate...
one that shares with us not only they

33
00:02:44,642 --> 00:02:47,276
have been walking on two legs...
but has some superficial

34
00:02:47,311 --> 00:02:51,947
resemblance in its foot to our
footprints, only much larger

35
00:02:51,983 --> 00:02:55,351
scale, but different from the
other great apes in the lack of

36
00:02:55,386 --> 00:02:59,154
a divergent big toe, suggesting
they're adapted to a wholly

37
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:04,827
terrestrial environment,
living on the ground.

38
00:03:04,829 --> 00:03:07,963
NARRATOR: Photographs brought
back from the expedition

39
00:03:07,999 --> 00:03:12,201
launched a media sensation and
marked the beginning of the

40
00:03:12,236 --> 00:03:14,203
Bigfoot phenomena.

41
00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:19,975
But where do these giant
footprints come from?

42
00:03:20,011 --> 00:03:22,011
Could they be a hoax?

43
00:03:22,046 --> 00:03:25,714
Or is there some mysterious
unknown creature living in the

44
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:29,051
remote wilderness?

45
00:03:31,221 --> 00:03:35,691
According to the histories and
myths of the Himalayan region,

46
00:03:35,726 --> 00:03:40,229
one such ape-like creature is
the yeti, more commonly known

47
00:03:40,264 --> 00:03:43,599
as the Abominable Snowman.

48
00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:47,736
MELDRUM: The notorious
Himalayan yeti, it's often

49
00:03:47,772 --> 00:03:51,240
described as being less than
six feet in height, much more

50
00:03:51,275 --> 00:03:53,075
aggressive when encountered.

51
00:03:53,077 --> 00:03:57,012
PHILIP COPPENS: All of these
sightings really make for a

52
00:03:57,048 --> 00:04:01,183
creature which seems to be
hiding from us, a creature which

53
00:04:01,218 --> 00:04:03,986
is hiding in plain sight, and
obviously the direct evidence

54
00:04:04,021 --> 00:04:07,156
comes in the form of its
footprint, hence why it's quite

55
00:04:07,191 --> 00:04:08,958
often referred to as Bigfoot.

56
00:04:09,393 --> 00:04:13,062
NICK REDFERN: People often ask:
why don't we catch Bigfoot?

57
00:04:13,097 --> 00:04:15,864
Bigfoot could be some sort of
supernatural creature like a

58
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:16,865
phantom, you know.

59
00:04:16,901 --> 00:04:20,602
If Bigfoot is, however, a flesh
and blood animal, then I would

60
00:04:20,671 --> 00:04:24,039
have to say their numbers would
have to be few and far in-between.

61
00:04:25,276 --> 00:04:28,577
NARRATOR: Since the Mount
Everest discovery, there have

62
00:04:28,612 --> 00:04:32,014
been numerous sightings of large
ape-like creatures on every

63
00:04:32,049 --> 00:04:36,518
continent, many clustered in the
Pacific Northwest area of the

64
00:04:36,554 --> 00:04:41,058
United States, including Mount
Shasta, in Northern California.

65
00:04:42,793 --> 00:04:47,763
O'BRIEN: In 1979, I was up on the
side of Mount Shasta, on the

66
00:04:47,798 --> 00:04:51,100
foothills, trying to get to
the base of the mountain.

67
00:04:51,802 --> 00:04:54,036
It was so dense and so tough.

68
00:04:54,071 --> 00:04:58,307
As we're standing there, we
heard this crashing sound.

69
00:05:00,076 --> 00:05:03,712
Simultaneously, we smelt
this awful smell...I mean, it was

70
00:05:03,748 --> 00:05:07,616
foul... but what was horrifying
was, whatever it was was coming

71
00:05:07,651 --> 00:05:11,286
at us through this impenetrable
hedge, and then we heard the

72
00:05:11,322 --> 00:05:18,194
most bloodcurdling combination
of an elephant trumpeting,

73
00:05:18,529 --> 00:05:19,928
a lion roaring.

74
00:05:19,964 --> 00:05:23,332
(fierce roaring)

75
00:05:23,401 --> 00:05:28,169
And it was so loud, it had bounced
off the foothills two miles away.

76
00:05:30,107 --> 00:05:32,741
That was probably the most
terrified I've been in my life,

77
00:05:32,777 --> 00:05:35,310
and the next thing I knew, we
were heading down the mountain

78
00:05:35,346 --> 00:05:36,847
almost skidding off corners.

79
00:05:39,451 --> 00:05:43,085
LINDA MOULTON HOWE: I had
heard from sheriffs about a

80
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,756
rancher in Montana who had gone
out to go hunting, comes around

81
00:05:47,792 --> 00:05:53,695
a ridge, has an eight-foot-tall,
reddish brown, primate-looking,

82
00:05:53,764 --> 00:05:56,733
long-haired creature standing
right in front of him.

83
00:05:58,135 --> 00:06:01,602
Picks up a .30-06 and just fires.

84
00:06:01,872 --> 00:06:03,639
(gunshot)

85
00:06:03,674 --> 00:06:06,276
And the creature disappeared
in a flash of light.

86
00:06:07,311 --> 00:06:12,714
If the Sasquatch, when a bullet
is shot at it, disappears in a

87
00:06:12,783 --> 00:06:16,485
flash of light, then what in the
world are we dealing with and

88
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,887
what do they want?

89
00:06:18,722 --> 00:06:22,825
NARRATOR: Why is the creature
known as Bigfoot so difficult to

90
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:24,427
capture or kill?

91
00:06:25,162 --> 00:06:29,131
Could it be, as ancient
astronaut theorists contend,

92
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:32,801
that the creature's ghost-like
abilities are the result of its

93
00:06:32,837 --> 00:06:34,737
otherworldly origin?

94
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,908
CHILDRESS: Many Sasquatch
researchers have noted that

95
00:06:39,977 --> 00:06:45,681
there's a connection between UFO
activity and Bigfoot activity.

96
00:06:45,716 --> 00:06:52,122
In fact, Bigfoot has been seen coming
out of some UFO flying saucer craft.

97
00:06:53,557 --> 00:06:58,260
You have to wonder if, somehow,
Bigfoot himself isn't some kind

98
00:06:58,329 --> 00:06:59,662
of extraterrestrial.

99
00:07:03,368 --> 00:07:05,434
JASON MARTELL: Many of the
North American Indian tribes

100
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:09,905
have legends and mythological
tales about these Sasquatch.

101
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:13,375
The Anasazi and various other
Indian cultures look at these as

102
00:07:13,411 --> 00:07:17,779
a ghost creature or something
that it's impossible to capture,

103
00:07:17,848 --> 00:07:19,781
close to impossible to see.

104
00:07:19,850 --> 00:07:21,616
But they do know that they exist.

105
00:07:26,256 --> 00:07:29,090
NARRATOR: Although mainstream
scientists consider

106
00:07:29,093 --> 00:07:34,196
the mysterious beast as no more than
a modern-day myth, the number of

107
00:07:34,231 --> 00:07:37,633
Bigfoot sightings reported and
photographed continues to

108
00:07:37,701 --> 00:07:39,601
steadily increase...

109
00:07:41,005 --> 00:07:43,873
COPPENS: Specifically, what you
get is always the big feet,

110
00:07:43,908 --> 00:07:47,944
you get a hairy creature, you
get a very specific smell,

111
00:07:48,012 --> 00:07:52,348
very harsh smell, and it is
also said that the sound which

112
00:07:52,383 --> 00:07:54,550
Bigfoot makes is kind of whistling.

113
00:07:54,586 --> 00:07:58,120
(loud screeching roar)

114
00:07:58,189 --> 00:08:00,723
So all of these components
really make for a typical

115
00:08:00,758 --> 00:08:04,061
Bigfoot sighting, and they are
concise across the board.

116
00:08:05,296 --> 00:08:09,899
JEFF MELDRUM: They seem to be very
elusive, very retiring and retreating.

117
00:08:09,934 --> 00:08:12,936
Aggressive behaviors are
very rarely reported.

118
00:08:13,271 --> 00:08:17,006
The witness sees the creature,
and both go in opposite

119
00:08:17,041 --> 00:08:19,411
directions with no
interaction whatsoever.

120
00:08:21,946 --> 00:08:26,415
REUHL: They range in size from
perhaps six feet to ten feet tall.

121
00:08:26,417 --> 00:08:31,220
Coloration... the most common
description is of a dark brown

122
00:08:31,256 --> 00:08:37,093
fur, their names vary from
location, but you have,

123
00:08:37,128 --> 00:08:39,795
of course, in America, Bigfoot,
otherwise known as Sasquatch in

124
00:08:39,864 --> 00:08:41,530
the Pacific Northwest.

125
00:08:41,566 --> 00:08:44,300
Down in Florida, he's
known as the skunk ape.

126
00:08:44,369 --> 00:08:49,772
Down in Australia, we have the Yowie.

127
00:08:49,807 --> 00:08:53,643
NARRATOR: But if a Bigfoot
creature really does exist, how

128
00:08:53,711 --> 00:08:56,078
has it remained so elusive?

129
00:08:59,616 --> 00:09:03,052
Researchers point out that
accounts of giant, human like

130
00:09:03,087 --> 00:09:05,922
beasts date back thousands of years.

131
00:09:06,324 --> 00:09:08,824
MAGLIOCCO: Throughout ancient
history, we have a number of

132
00:09:08,893 --> 00:09:12,295
legends about giants, about wild
men, about hairy beasts that

133
00:09:12,330 --> 00:09:15,165
live at the edge of civilization.

134
00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:19,568
These were humans, you know,
people who were, however, wild,

135
00:09:19,604 --> 00:09:22,938
they were hairy, they didn't wear
clothes, they lived in the woods.

136
00:09:23,007 --> 00:09:26,711
And yet, in other ways,
they had special powers.

137
00:09:28,446 --> 00:09:31,814
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the supernatural creatures of

138
00:09:31,849 --> 00:09:36,085
Native American myths are in
fact descriptions of encounters

139
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,921
with Bigfoot in the remote past?

140
00:09:39,157 --> 00:09:44,460
And are such creatures
extraterrestrial in nature?

141
00:09:44,696 --> 00:09:48,331
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answers can be found

142
00:09:48,366 --> 00:09:50,666
in numerous ancient texts.

143
00:09:51,101 --> 00:09:53,102
COPPENS: In the Book of Enoch,
we have a category called

144
00:09:53,137 --> 00:09:55,471
the Nephilim or "The Watchers,"

145
00:09:55,506 --> 00:09:59,608
people who are said to have come
down from heaven to Earth and

146
00:09:59,644 --> 00:10:03,179
basically lived ever after amongst us.

147
00:10:03,948 --> 00:10:07,616
Now, the Bible gives very little
discussion as to really what

148
00:10:07,652 --> 00:10:10,286
they looked like, except the
fact that they were giants, that

149
00:10:10,321 --> 00:10:14,156
they were big, and clearly they
are deemed to be less worthy.

150
00:10:14,192 --> 00:10:17,360
And I think this is of interest
because when you start looking

151
00:10:17,395 --> 00:10:20,162
on the Bigfoot, you really are
confronted with a creature

152
00:10:20,198 --> 00:10:24,233
which, even we, today, would
classify more as a animal rather

153
00:10:24,302 --> 00:10:25,702
than as a human being.

154
00:10:26,304 --> 00:10:29,038
TSOUKALOS: In the Old Testament,
we can read stories

155
00:10:29,073 --> 00:10:32,241
where the gods saw the Earth
women and thought they were

156
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:34,343
extremely beautiful.

157
00:10:34,345 --> 00:10:37,813
And so they made babies with
them, and upon giving birth,

158
00:10:37,849 --> 00:10:42,184
according to the texts, they
created a race of giants.

159
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:46,355
What they witnessed had
absolutely nothing to do with

160
00:10:46,391 --> 00:10:52,128
the divine or with the spiritual because
those gods were not gods at all.

161
00:10:52,397 --> 00:10:57,366
They were misinterpreted flesh...
and-blood extraterrestrials.

162
00:11:04,041 --> 00:11:07,443
NARRATOR: Might Bigfoot, and
the Himalayan Yeti, really be

163
00:11:07,512 --> 00:11:12,780
creatures of alien origin, as some
ancient astronaut theorists contend?

164
00:11:12,817 --> 00:11:13,716
(growling)

165
00:11:13,751 --> 00:11:18,054
Perhaps further evidence can be
found in ancient tales of giant

166
00:11:18,089 --> 00:11:21,690
beings with supernatural powers.

167
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:28,071
NARRATOR: Iraq.

168
00:11:28,806 --> 00:11:34,411
Site of ancient Mesopotamia and
the cradle of civilization.

169
00:11:35,646 --> 00:11:40,349
In the remains of the ancient
city of Nineveh, Sumerian

170
00:11:40,384 --> 00:11:45,387
tablets dating back to as early
as 1800 BC tell the story of

171
00:11:45,456 --> 00:11:47,389
King Gilgamesh.

172
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:57,299
In this epic poem, Gilgamesh has
a companion named Enkidu, who is

173
00:11:57,335 --> 00:12:03,872
described as a hairy wild man
living outside human society.

174
00:12:03,874 --> 00:12:07,810
TSOUKALOS: What is fascinating
about the "Epic of

175
00:12:07,845 --> 00:12:13,147
Gilgamesh" is the fact that it
relates to us a story of Enkidu,

176
00:12:14,719 --> 00:12:18,320
who allegedly was a giant.

177
00:12:18,522 --> 00:12:25,060
It is possible that Enkidu, this
wild hairy beast, this giant,

178
00:12:25,096 --> 00:12:30,366
could have been of
extraterrestrial origin.

179
00:12:30,601 --> 00:12:34,403
Because that is what the ancient
Sumerian texts are saying.

180
00:12:34,405 --> 00:12:40,476
CHILDRESS: Enkidu is described in the
the Epic of Gilgamesh as being

181
00:12:40,511 --> 00:12:46,081
a hairy man-like monster
with great strength.

182
00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:50,219
And when you read that story,
and you have to think that

183
00:12:50,254 --> 00:12:55,024
Enkidu is some kind of
a Bigfoot Sasquatch.

184
00:12:55,493 --> 00:12:59,728
MARTELL: This is the actual
first fashioned being by the

185
00:12:59,764 --> 00:13:04,066
gods, where they put their
genetic marker on it to make

186
00:13:04,101 --> 00:13:07,669
a new being that would be
their slave, and they called

187
00:13:07,705 --> 00:13:09,439
this being the Enkidu.

188
00:13:10,341 --> 00:13:14,276
NARRATOR: Is it possible, as
ancient astronaut theorists

189
00:13:14,345 --> 00:13:18,380
suggest, that the Epic of
Gilgamesh actually describes a

190
00:13:18,416 --> 00:13:23,385
hominid creature created by
extraterrestrial beings?

191
00:13:23,721 --> 00:13:27,890
Sumerian texts also describe
ancient sky gods who came to

192
00:13:27,925 --> 00:13:30,859
Earth, called the Anunnaki.

193
00:13:32,430 --> 00:13:34,696
MARTELL: The ancient
astronaut theory explains how

194
00:13:34,732 --> 00:13:37,434
these gods were probably
extraterrestrials.

195
00:13:38,469 --> 00:13:42,069
And put their genetic
marker on this beast.

196
00:13:42,273 --> 00:13:45,240
But that beast would still exist
and probably went on its own

197
00:13:45,276 --> 00:13:49,545
evolutionary path to be the Bigfoot
and the Sasquatch that we have today.

198
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:53,715
NARRATOR: Do ancient accounts of
such human like beasts provide

199
00:13:53,751 --> 00:13:57,719
further evidence that this
otherworldly being may have

200
00:13:57,755 --> 00:14:00,423
really existed throughout our history?

201
00:14:05,328 --> 00:14:09,231
Some believe the giant in the Old
Testament story of David and

202
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:13,802
Goliath may also be an early
representation of Bigfoot.

203
00:14:14,406 --> 00:14:17,573
MAGLIOCCO: If you think about
the story of David and Goliath

204
00:14:17,608 --> 00:14:21,410
from the Bible, Goliath is huge,
and he's big, and he's hairy,

205
00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:25,180
but he doesn't live on the edge
of civilization or avoid people.

206
00:14:25,249 --> 00:14:29,518
He's being used as a weapon almost...
a weapon of terror

207
00:14:29,587 --> 00:14:31,453
against the Israelites.

208
00:14:32,757 --> 00:14:35,157
COPPENS: When you start
reading the Bible in more detail

209
00:14:35,192 --> 00:14:38,160
and descriptions of these giants,
there were various other

210
00:14:38,162 --> 00:14:39,862
big creatures in our ancestors'

211
00:14:39,930 --> 00:14:46,167
world, which we no longer are
aware of, and Bigfoot might just

212
00:14:46,203 --> 00:14:49,437
be one category, which somehow
has been able to survive.

213
00:14:49,539 --> 00:14:51,106
(creature roaring)

214
00:14:51,141 --> 00:14:53,976
Whether or not Goliath is a
Bigfoot, they definitely sit

215
00:14:54,011 --> 00:14:57,312
within the same category of a
creature which clearly is not

216
00:14:57,348 --> 00:15:00,782
human, but clearly is also
present here and is taller than

217
00:15:00,818 --> 00:15:02,784
our ancestors were.

218
00:15:02,820 --> 00:15:04,820
TSOUKALOS: My question is:

219
00:15:04,855 --> 00:15:08,857
What is the truth behind
this particular story?

220
00:15:08,893 --> 00:15:13,962
And it is possible, as some
scholars have suggested, that

221
00:15:13,998 --> 00:15:19,635
Goliath might have been
an extraterrestrial.

222
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:25,140
That he was a type of giant, a
human abomination, a half-alien,

223
00:15:25,175 --> 00:15:31,847
half-human creature that was so
terrifying, so horrendous, that

224
00:15:31,882 --> 00:15:37,386
David took it upon himself
to vanquish that beast.

225
00:15:39,556 --> 00:15:43,158
REDFERN: All cultures across
the world, whether it's South

226
00:15:43,193 --> 00:15:46,828
America, Native American Indians,
Europe, Russia, China,

227
00:15:46,864 --> 00:15:52,267
Tibet, Australia, all these
nations have legends and tales

228
00:15:52,336 --> 00:15:54,336
of giant hairy wild men.

229
00:15:54,338 --> 00:15:57,839
Now, you know, people say, "Well,
legends are just legends."

230
00:15:57,876 --> 00:16:01,710
But when you have cultures and
countries, separated by oceans,

231
00:16:01,745 --> 00:16:05,113
all talking about very similar
things, to me, this does suggest

232
00:16:05,182 --> 00:16:09,117
that in times past these things
were very, very prevalent and

233
00:16:09,186 --> 00:16:11,453
widespread across the world.

234
00:16:11,522 --> 00:16:16,724
NARRATOR: Legends of giants were
common in the ancient world.

235
00:16:16,961 --> 00:16:21,897
But similar stories emerged much
later with Viking explorer Leif

236
00:16:21,932 --> 00:16:26,902
Ericson, who, in the 10th
century AD, wrote of "horrible,

237
00:16:26,937 --> 00:16:30,805
ugly, hairy creatures with dark eyes."

238
00:16:31,642 --> 00:16:35,143
MARTELL: Leif Ericson was
familiar with the different

239
00:16:35,212 --> 00:16:37,745
types of tribes of indigenous people.

240
00:16:37,915 --> 00:16:41,049
Now, he spoke very specifically
about these large, hairy

241
00:16:41,085 --> 00:16:45,286
creatures with dark eyes and a
very specific scent that they had.

242
00:16:45,289 --> 00:16:47,923
It stood out from all the other
cultures that they interacted

243
00:16:47,958 --> 00:16:50,257
with on their travels
into the New World.

244
00:16:50,461 --> 00:16:51,660
(creature roars)

245
00:16:51,729 --> 00:16:55,830
Could these have been the Sasquatch
or Yeti that we speak of today?

246
00:16:55,933 --> 00:16:57,166
Very possibly.

247
00:16:59,570 --> 00:17:01,069
NARRATOR: Medieval
mythologies have also described

248
00:17:01,105 --> 00:17:05,306
hairy wild men with
strange magical powers.

249
00:17:06,409 --> 00:17:10,679
According to historians, the
wizard Merlin, found in the

250
00:17:10,748 --> 00:17:14,916
tales of King Arthur, is based
on a legendary Welsh figure

251
00:17:14,952 --> 00:17:19,790
named Myrddin Wyllt, who is
described as a hairy madman...

252
00:17:21,625 --> 00:17:24,258
who wanders in the company of beasts.

253
00:17:25,430 --> 00:17:27,329
MAGLIOCCO: There are
many stories, for example, of

254
00:17:27,364 --> 00:17:30,165
the wild man dating
from medieval times.

255
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,336
There, you have Merlin, our
Merlin who is familiar to us

256
00:17:34,371 --> 00:17:36,338
from the legend of King Arthur.

257
00:17:36,373 --> 00:17:39,975
You have a legend about Merlin
as being a wild man, being

258
00:17:40,010 --> 00:17:43,679
someone who was hairy and
unkempt and lived in the woods

259
00:17:43,714 --> 00:17:47,349
because he communicated so
closely with the spirit world.

260
00:17:47,384 --> 00:17:49,151
That he was untamed.

261
00:17:49,186 --> 00:17:52,220
That he was unable to
live in human society.

262
00:17:52,356 --> 00:17:56,391
And so you have this idea that
these creatures, who are wild

263
00:17:56,460 --> 00:18:00,563
humanoids, also have
special messages for us.

264
00:18:00,564 --> 00:18:02,063
They can prophecy.

265
00:18:02,099 --> 00:18:05,300
They are living close to the
spirit world in some way.

266
00:18:08,104 --> 00:18:10,939
NARRATOR: But could all these
similar accounts found

267
00:18:10,974 --> 00:18:15,343
throughout history and around
the world be proof that Bigfoot

268
00:18:15,412 --> 00:18:17,847
is more than just myth?

269
00:18:19,283 --> 00:18:24,653
And is there any evidence that
its origins lie not on Earth,

270
00:18:24,688 --> 00:18:26,656
but in the stars?

271
00:18:27,691 --> 00:18:31,193
REDFERN: There are a number of
cases on record where Bigfoot

272
00:18:31,261 --> 00:18:34,496
is being seen in the same
precise time frame as UFO

273
00:18:34,531 --> 00:18:37,432
activities being reported.

274
00:18:39,702 --> 00:18:43,104
For example, there was a big
wave of UFO activity in

275
00:18:44,675 --> 00:18:48,143
in Pennsylvania in the early 1970s,
and people actually reporting these

276
00:18:48,148 --> 00:18:52,817
large, shadowy, lumbering apelike
creatures walking out of the woods.

277
00:18:55,487 --> 00:18:59,155
In Texas, there's a road known
locally as Ghost Light Road.

278
00:18:59,990 --> 00:19:02,924
And it's called Ghost Light Road
because people see these weird

279
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,094
balls of light flying
through the woods.

280
00:19:05,829 --> 00:19:10,932
Coincidentally, people also have
reported huge numbers of Bigfoot

281
00:19:10,968 --> 00:19:14,134
sight reports in these very same woods.

282
00:19:14,605 --> 00:19:17,472
(roaring)

283
00:19:19,674 --> 00:19:23,277
O'BRIEN: Bigfoot are intelligent,
they're very, very

284
00:19:23,312 --> 00:19:24,312
secretive and very, very hidden.

285
00:19:24,714 --> 00:19:26,681
They're able to skirt
around civilization.

286
00:19:27,551 --> 00:19:30,886
Perhaps they do have some sort
of extra abilities that allow

287
00:19:30,954 --> 00:19:34,822
them to do this, and if so, where
did those abilities come from?

288
00:19:35,826 --> 00:19:39,327
We can't factor out as a
possibility that Bigfoot are

289
00:19:39,363 --> 00:19:42,296
somehow an extraterrestrial species.

290
00:19:45,468 --> 00:19:49,237
HOWE: Back in 1980, I had
been investigating a lot

291
00:19:49,306 --> 00:19:53,174
of animal mutilations, and I
get a letter from a man up in

292
00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:59,880
Snohomish, Washington, famous for
the Sasquatch or Bigfoot sightings,

293
00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:05,921
who said, "I was out at my
father's place,

294
00:20:05,989 --> 00:20:11,457
and I hear a sound in the
trees as if wind has come in.

295
00:20:12,162 --> 00:20:16,162
"With the trees starting to move
comes the silver disc."

296
00:20:17,567 --> 00:20:22,370
And then he sees a beam
comes down to the ground.

297
00:20:22,406 --> 00:20:27,142
In the beam is a tall,
shaggy primate-looking...

298
00:20:27,177 --> 00:20:29,376
he said it looked like a gorilla.

299
00:20:29,846 --> 00:20:34,883
Comes down to the bottom, and
the tall creature walks by

300
00:20:34,918 --> 00:20:37,252
as if he doesn't exist.

301
00:20:37,321 --> 00:20:43,690
The next thing, animal mutilations
are reported within a few days.

302
00:20:50,199 --> 00:20:53,768
NARRATOR: If Bigfoot
creatures are aligned with

303
00:20:53,837 --> 00:20:56,938
extraterrestrial beings, as
ancient astronaut theorists

304
00:20:57,007 --> 00:21:02,044
believe, what might be the purpose
of their presence on this planet?

305
00:21:02,379 --> 00:21:05,747
And might the worldwide
sightings be part of a

306
00:21:05,782 --> 00:21:10,351
clandestine program that has been
going on for thousands of years?

307
00:21:10,787 --> 00:21:13,455
REDFERN: Bigfoot could have
been brought here, you know,

308
00:21:13,523 --> 00:21:18,091
to sort of... let's put it alongside
the natives and see what happens.

309
00:21:18,362 --> 00:21:22,063
There are stories of the star
people coming down and releasing

310
00:21:22,099 --> 00:21:25,200
these Bigfoot-type creatures
into the wilderness.

311
00:21:25,235 --> 00:21:28,436
Of course, you have to wonder
what prompted those stories.

312
00:21:28,472 --> 00:21:30,972
And that's why there are
researchers out there who do

313
00:21:31,041 --> 00:21:35,310
believe Bigfoot is, if you like,
an animal born on another world.

314
00:21:35,912 --> 00:21:40,215
FRANKLIN RUEHL: One idea is
that these are entities that

315
00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:43,819
have been dropped down here as
part of a research project.

316
00:21:44,821 --> 00:21:49,391
Another idea is that the
Bigfoot creatures, perhaps,

317
00:21:49,426 --> 00:21:53,061
were criminals or some other
type of undesirable from an

318
00:21:53,096 --> 00:21:56,232
alien planet that have
been left on our world.

319
00:22:00,171 --> 00:22:04,773
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials did
create a race of Bigfoot creatures

320
00:22:04,808 --> 00:22:08,576
thousands of years in the past,
as ancient astronaut theorists

321
00:22:08,612 --> 00:22:14,449
believe, might they have had a reason
for keeping them hidden from us?

322
00:22:14,684 --> 00:22:20,355
Perhaps further evidence can be
found not in the world we know,

323
00:22:20,424 --> 00:22:23,957
but hidden deep underground.

324
00:22:29,471 --> 00:22:31,038
NARRATOR: The Siskiyou Mountains.

325
00:22:31,048 --> 00:22:33,842
Southwestern Oregon.

326
00:22:34,678 --> 00:22:41,116
In 1874, hunter Elijah Davidson
discovered a large cave leading

327
00:22:41,151 --> 00:22:46,855
to a 500-acre network of
underground tunnels and caverns.

328
00:22:46,890 --> 00:22:52,494
Known as the Oregon Caves, the
ancient subterranean structure

329
00:22:52,529 --> 00:22:55,796
is one of the few marble
caves in the world.

330
00:22:57,968 --> 00:23:02,303
Some believe this underground
world is home to the Sasquatch

331
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:05,673
creatures that have been
reported in this area by Native

332
00:23:05,709 --> 00:23:08,342
Americans for hundreds of years.

333
00:23:09,045 --> 00:23:10,145
(creature growling)

334
00:23:10,980 --> 00:23:13,946
REDFERN: There are a number of
sightings of these creatures in caves.

335
00:23:14,017 --> 00:23:18,686
A number of explorers hearing
very strange animalistic screams

336
00:23:18,722 --> 00:23:22,690
coming from these caves and
seeing sort of shadowy lumbering

337
00:23:22,726 --> 00:23:24,327
creatures within them.

338
00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:29,330
You know, if you're a large
flesh-and-blood animal, seven to

339
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:33,400
eight feet tall, certainly you're
gonna be out hunting all day to feed.

340
00:23:37,072 --> 00:23:40,208
But at night, potentially, you
know, with Bigfoot hunters out

341
00:23:40,243 --> 00:23:44,545
there, regular hunters, other wild
animals, you need to be careful.

342
00:23:44,881 --> 00:23:48,350
The ideal location to hide
out would be underground.

343
00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:53,187
So, you know, maybe that's another
reason we haven't found Bigfoot.

344
00:23:53,223 --> 00:23:57,257
Instead of looking around us, maybe
we should be looking below us.

345
00:23:57,861 --> 00:24:02,363
O'BRIEN: These cavern systems
that exist worldwide have not

346
00:24:02,399 --> 00:24:04,066
been fully explored.

347
00:24:05,535 --> 00:24:08,636
In fact, probably a very small
percentage of them have been

348
00:24:08,705 --> 00:24:09,705
even discovered.

349
00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:12,040
What could exist down there?

350
00:24:12,075 --> 00:24:16,778
Could we have a whole system of
life-forms that exist down there

351
00:24:16,813 --> 00:24:18,814
that we have yet to identify?

352
00:24:19,749 --> 00:24:24,919
You have fish that never see
light, you have insect species,

353
00:24:24,955 --> 00:24:29,390
there's the possibility
of a complete potential

354
00:24:29,426 --> 00:24:31,992
infrastructure for
Bigfoot to survive on.

355
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:36,930
Perhaps Bigfoot is one
of these life-forms.

356
00:24:38,468 --> 00:24:42,070
HOWE: No one sees Sasquatches
going on highways, paths and

357
00:24:42,105 --> 00:24:43,806
forests moving back and forth.

358
00:24:45,308 --> 00:24:50,111
If we're dealing with nonhuman
intelligence and non humans made

359
00:24:50,146 --> 00:24:54,082
them to do work on this planet,
maybe there's a tunnel system.

360
00:24:54,117 --> 00:24:57,151
(creature growling)

361
00:24:57,187 --> 00:25:01,823
And that might explain why you
could have them in Georgia,

362
00:25:01,858 --> 00:25:04,826
Michigan, Pennsylvania,
California, all over.

363
00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:09,264
O'BRIEN: One thing that's
always intrigued me, as well,

364
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:14,769
about Bigfoot is this description of a
musky, sulfur-ish type smell that's

365
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:17,437
often associated with
the close encounters.

366
00:25:20,509 --> 00:25:23,678
You know, the Christian version
of the Devil and fire and

367
00:25:23,713 --> 00:25:28,216
brimstone and that sulfur type
smell tends to be associated

368
00:25:28,285 --> 00:25:30,651
with the subterranean world or Hell.

369
00:25:32,188 --> 00:25:36,624
So, is there a connection,
possibly, between the idea of

370
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:40,295
subterranean devils, if you
will, or Lucifer, and that

371
00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:43,599
sulfur smell and that
sulfur smell with Bigfoot?

372
00:25:45,701 --> 00:25:49,337
NARRATOR: Is it possible that a
race of subterranean creatures

373
00:25:49,372 --> 00:25:53,240
has been living beneath the Earth's
surface without our knowledge?

374
00:25:54,577 --> 00:25:57,814
If so, might Bigfoot
have been interacting

375
00:25:57,815 --> 00:26:00,216
with us for thousands of years?

376
00:26:00,817 --> 00:26:06,119
TSOUKALOS: In ancient Greek myths, we
find references to the troglodytes.

377
00:26:08,024 --> 00:26:12,727
These hairy, beastly-looking
creatures that lived

378
00:26:12,762 --> 00:26:17,467
underground, that sometimes
were extremely terrifying...

379
00:26:19,102 --> 00:26:25,440
but sometimes they also were
very wise and taught mankind in

380
00:26:25,475 --> 00:26:26,541
various disciplines.

381
00:26:26,609 --> 00:26:31,946
Now, according to the ancient
legends, the troglodytes are

382
00:26:31,981 --> 00:26:35,148
believed to have
descended from the sky.

383
00:26:37,486 --> 00:26:42,523
Obviously, they were hiding out
somewhere that was inaccessible

384
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,192
to our ancestors.

385
00:26:44,227 --> 00:26:48,963
They wanted to keep their
presence a secret.

386
00:26:48,998 --> 00:26:54,469
There are multiple stories that
actually talk about explorations

387
00:26:54,504 --> 00:27:01,272
into these tunnels, where
sometimes people never returned.

388
00:27:01,678 --> 00:27:04,479
MAGLIOCCO: People who have
done research have found

389
00:27:04,514 --> 00:27:10,051
dens, nests, collections of
brush that are put together

390
00:27:10,086 --> 00:27:13,488
in particular patterns that
suggest very large creatures are

391
00:27:13,523 --> 00:27:14,522
nesting in them.

392
00:27:14,557 --> 00:27:16,557
(creature growling)

393
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:19,660
And I find that fairly
persuasive evidence.

394
00:27:19,696 --> 00:27:24,198
Something is making those
dens or nests out of brush.

395
00:27:24,234 --> 00:27:28,703
Something is using those,
probably living underground.

396
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:34,041
CHILDRESS: Throughout the world,
there are many extensive

397
00:27:34,077 --> 00:27:39,180
and mysterious cavern systems
that are linked together.

398
00:27:39,182 --> 00:27:45,520
In Tibet and in India, also in
North and South America, some of

399
00:27:45,555 --> 00:27:49,390
them also go throughout the
Pacific Northwest, like areas

400
00:27:49,426 --> 00:27:51,626
like Mount Shasta.

401
00:27:51,694 --> 00:27:56,397
So it's an interesting idea that
Bigfoot is actually traveling

402
00:27:56,433 --> 00:28:00,968
underground, through these
tunnel systems, and those

403
00:28:01,037 --> 00:28:02,537
underground bases and tunnel

404
00:28:02,572 --> 00:28:05,872
systems would have been
made by extraterrestrials.

405
00:28:08,412 --> 00:28:11,212
NARRATOR: Might
extraterrestrials really have

406
00:28:11,247 --> 00:28:15,116
built caves and tunnel systems
to hide the legendary creature

407
00:28:15,151 --> 00:28:19,753
known as Bigfoot, as some ancient
astronaut theorists believe?

408
00:28:20,957 --> 00:28:25,893
And if so, is it possible that
these otherworldly beings still

409
00:28:25,929 --> 00:28:27,730
dwell there today?

410
00:28:29,666 --> 00:28:33,568
HOWE: Could Sasquatch, Bigfoot,
be something that lives

411
00:28:33,603 --> 00:28:36,070
here, on Earth, underground?

412
00:28:38,974 --> 00:28:44,579
What is the relationship between
the Sasquatch, the nonhuman

413
00:28:44,614 --> 00:28:47,448
phenomenon and this planet?

414
00:28:47,650 --> 00:28:54,288
RUEHL: There's also the possibility
that he is actually an alien creature.

415
00:28:54,290 --> 00:28:57,592
Now, we don't know how
intelligent he is, but one

416
00:28:57,627 --> 00:29:01,195
theory is that the Bigfoot is
actually a more intelligent

417
00:29:01,264 --> 00:29:05,433
creature, and he's avoiding man,
hiding out in mountainous

418
00:29:05,468 --> 00:29:08,603
regions that are cold, waiting
for man to destroy himself,

419
00:29:08,638 --> 00:29:10,804
at which time, he'll assume dominance.

420
00:29:11,641 --> 00:29:16,110
And, of course, he also could
be the result of genetic

421
00:29:16,145 --> 00:29:19,814
hybridization, and that aliens
landed on our planet and used

422
00:29:19,849 --> 00:29:23,484
DNA to create a hybrid
between man and the apes.

423
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,654
All bets are on, but the
evidence that he exists

424
00:29:26,689 --> 00:29:29,624
somewhere certainly is strong
based on all of the evidence

425
00:29:29,659 --> 00:29:33,928
we've found, in terms of eyewitness
observations, footprints, et cetera.

426
00:29:35,833 --> 00:29:38,866
NARRATOR: Could the
intermingling of human and alien

427
00:29:38,902 --> 00:29:43,539
beings have resulted in this
strange hybrid creature,

428
00:29:44,674 --> 00:29:47,641
as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

429
00:29:48,478 --> 00:29:53,915
Perhaps further investigation of
the Bigfoot mystery will reveal

430
00:29:53,983 --> 00:29:57,118
an even more disturbing truth.

431
00:30:00,419 --> 00:30:01,953
NARRATOR: Russia.

432
00:30:01,988 --> 00:30:05,790
February 28, 1927.

433
00:30:05,825 --> 00:30:10,595
Noted biologist and geneticist
Illya Ivanov conducts

434
00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:15,132
controversial experiments to
artificially inseminate female

435
00:30:15,168 --> 00:30:20,104
apes with human sperm.

436
00:30:20,139 --> 00:30:24,408
The procedure is unsuccessful.

437
00:30:24,444 --> 00:30:28,512
But three years later, Ivanov
reverses the test using ape

438
00:30:28,581 --> 00:30:33,417
sperm and human female hosts.

439
00:30:33,453 --> 00:30:37,288
Before the experiment can bear
fruit, the Soviet government

440
00:30:37,323 --> 00:30:40,892
arrests Ivanov and exiles him.

441
00:30:41,761 --> 00:30:46,529
But had the scientist already made
an evolutionary breakthrough?

442
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,135
Might Ivanov have actually
created a hybrid species from

443
00:30:51,170 --> 00:30:53,805
ape and human DNA?

444
00:30:56,475 --> 00:30:59,543
COPPENS: Illya Ivanov was a
person who was obsessed with

445
00:30:59,612 --> 00:31:06,617
making this freak, this creature, which
was half-man, half-chimpanzee...

446
00:31:06,719 --> 00:31:11,822
but also is completely convinced that
if he's able to do this, there will

447
00:31:11,890 --> 00:31:14,156
be interbreeding of these two species.

448
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,095
And, really, if a person like
that, a top scientist, is

449
00:31:18,130 --> 00:31:21,765
convinced that this is possible
then, really, nature might have

450
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,569
done so, or our ancestors might
have done so at one point in the

451
00:31:25,604 --> 00:31:28,905
past as well, and this creature
might indeed be the result of

452
00:31:28,941 --> 00:31:30,708
this offspring.

453
00:31:31,910 --> 00:31:35,078
MARTELL: Ivanoff was aware that
combining ape and human is

454
00:31:35,114 --> 00:31:38,415
possible with the idea that
there could be new traits and

455
00:31:38,450 --> 00:31:41,251
things garnered that
scientifically would benefit

456
00:31:41,287 --> 00:31:42,486
humanity in the long run.

457
00:31:42,788 --> 00:31:46,423
NARRATOR: If recent modern
science could create hybrid

458
00:31:46,458 --> 00:31:51,926
human and ape creatures, might
similar yet very advanced technology

459
00:31:51,995 --> 00:31:56,263
have been used by extraterrestrial
beings in the remote past,

460
00:31:56,299 --> 00:31:59,366
as ancient astronaut
theorists contend?

461
00:32:01,172 --> 00:32:03,173
GEORGE NOORY: You know, it's like
<i>The Island of Dr. Moreau,</i>

462
00:32:03,241 --> 00:32:07,109
strange creatures that these
mad scientists dabble with.

463
00:32:07,245 --> 00:32:09,844
We know that people are Chimeras.

464
00:32:09,847 --> 00:32:12,681
They are part-animal, part-human.

465
00:32:13,551 --> 00:32:17,219
There are people wandering this
planet right now with workable

466
00:32:17,255 --> 00:32:20,423
pig valves keeping them alive.

467
00:32:21,893 --> 00:32:25,228
So there's no question, if
science can dabble, it will

468
00:32:25,264 --> 00:32:28,897
dabble, and it could
create some abominations.

469
00:32:32,069 --> 00:32:36,973
I shudder to think of the kinds
of creatures some scientists on

470
00:32:37,009 --> 00:32:40,844
this planet may have tried to
develop and they had to just

471
00:32:40,913 --> 00:32:43,747
dispose of them because
they were too hideous.

472
00:32:47,719 --> 00:32:51,021
TSOUKALOS: Is it possible
that offshoots of a certain

473
00:32:51,056 --> 00:32:55,726
species occurred over hundreds
of thousands of years?

474
00:32:55,761 --> 00:32:59,996
The ancient alien theory
answers that exact question.

475
00:33:00,032 --> 00:33:02,599
And the answer is yes.

476
00:33:02,601 --> 00:33:07,904
It was made possible by a direct
artificial intervention of our genes

477
00:33:07,939 --> 00:33:13,777
in the remote past by flesh-and-blood
extraterrestrials who used our

478
00:33:13,812 --> 00:33:18,115
planet as some type of an
experimental platform.

479
00:33:20,551 --> 00:33:24,187
All around the world we can find carvings
or statues of these

480
00:33:24,223 --> 00:33:25,756
hybrid beings.

481
00:33:25,791 --> 00:33:27,257
And some of them are in India,

482
00:33:27,292 --> 00:33:30,158
like the Naga, which is
a half-man, half-snake.

483
00:33:30,729 --> 00:33:37,200
In Greece, we have the Medusa
with her hair made of snakes.

484
00:33:37,236 --> 00:33:42,806
In Egypt, the entire god
pantheon consists of these half

485
00:33:42,875 --> 00:33:48,612
man, half animals, with Anubis,
for example, with the head of a

486
00:33:48,647 --> 00:33:51,647
dog, and the body of a human being.

487
00:33:52,718 --> 00:33:57,320
And to suggest that all of these
creatures were nothing else but

488
00:33:57,389 --> 00:34:02,090
fantasy, in my opinion,
doesn't really hold water.

489
00:34:02,261 --> 00:34:07,562
Because our ancestors
depicted what they saw.

490
00:34:07,733 --> 00:34:10,100
(creature growling)

491
00:34:12,670 --> 00:34:15,272
NARRATOR: But if the monster
we know as Bigfoot really

492
00:34:15,307 --> 00:34:18,942
exists, and is an ancient alien
hybrid that has survived to

493
00:34:18,977 --> 00:34:22,978
modern times,
what was it created for?

494
00:34:23,115 --> 00:34:24,915
(creature screeching)

495
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:29,352
Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer can be found

496
00:34:29,421 --> 00:34:33,256
by taking another look at
the Sumerian stories of the

497
00:34:33,292 --> 00:34:38,294
Anunnaki, and the Bigfoot-like
creature called Enkidu.

498
00:34:39,664 --> 00:34:42,132
MARTELL: The gods originally
came here to mine gold.

499
00:34:42,167 --> 00:34:44,435
But they didn't like to
mine the gold themselves.

500
00:34:45,671 --> 00:34:48,739
So, the Anunnaki created
what we call the Enkidu.

501
00:34:49,608 --> 00:34:53,710
They decided amongst the gods
to fashion a worker being, the

502
00:34:53,779 --> 00:34:55,448
perfect working model.

503
00:34:58,484 --> 00:35:01,184
Not as sophisticated
or as advanced as us.

504
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,923
It was the first working model
that they used as slave labor.

505
00:35:08,459 --> 00:35:11,728
NARRATOR: If the creature
known as Bigfoot really was

506
00:35:11,797 --> 00:35:14,965
created by aliens to mine
precious metals thousands of

507
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,803
years ago, as ancient astronaut
theorists believe,

508
00:35:19,838 --> 00:35:22,107
why would it still be around today?

509
00:35:23,976 --> 00:35:29,012
Is it simply what remains of an
ancient race of hybrid beings?

510
00:35:29,047 --> 00:35:33,149
Or might these giant beasts
still be working on behalf of

511
00:35:33,185 --> 00:35:35,153
extraterrestrials?

512
00:35:36,355 --> 00:35:40,389
HOWE: Why would they put a Sasquatch
character here that they made?

513
00:35:40,692 --> 00:35:43,693
And it may be that we're dealing
with intelligences that can

514
00:35:43,762 --> 00:35:47,129
create anything with genetic material.

515
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:51,468
And they would make a creature
that would be strong, big enough

516
00:35:51,503 --> 00:35:56,673
to fend for itself, have some
kind of a mission but is not

517
00:35:56,708 --> 00:36:02,279
to interact with Homo Sapien
at all, might explain why

518
00:36:02,314 --> 00:36:06,148
Sasquatch has always been so elusive.

519
00:36:06,885 --> 00:36:09,619
RUEHL: It could've been an
experiment out of natural

520
00:36:09,655 --> 00:36:13,123
curiosity by them, or perhaps
they had a purpose in putting

521
00:36:13,158 --> 00:36:18,728
Bigfoot on our planet, perhaps
to test out the environment

522
00:36:18,797 --> 00:36:22,766
before they ultimately
land here and take over.

523
00:36:23,135 --> 00:36:26,435
It could be a long-term
genetic experiment.

524
00:36:32,076 --> 00:36:34,311
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the reason we have not

525
00:36:34,346 --> 00:36:38,481
found hard evidence of Bigfoot's
existence is because it is

526
00:36:38,517 --> 00:36:43,388
hiding out, performing some
secret extraterrestrial mission?

527
00:36:44,656 --> 00:36:48,692
Or might its elusiveness be a
survival instinct... one highly

528
00:36:48,727 --> 00:36:53,697
evolved over thousands of years,
while hiding from a far more

529
00:36:53,732 --> 00:36:57,299
dangerous alien hybrid species...

530
00:36:57,669 --> 00:36:59,170
human beings?

531
00:37:03,291 --> 00:37:06,428
NARRATOR: Hong Kong. 1935.

532
00:37:08,297 --> 00:37:12,867
In a small medicinal shop,
German paleontologist Dr.

533
00:37:12,902 --> 00:37:17,171
Gustav von Koenigswald purchased
a set of giant molars thought to

534
00:37:17,206 --> 00:37:19,572
be the teeth of an ancient dragon.

535
00:37:21,310 --> 00:37:24,978
After further study, von
Koenigswald determined that

536
00:37:25,014 --> 00:37:28,649
he had stumbled upon the first
fossil evidence of an extinct

537
00:37:28,684 --> 00:37:31,721
species of ape called
Gigantopithecus.

538
00:37:33,989 --> 00:37:37,956
Standing ten feet tall and
weighing up to 1,200 pounds,

539
00:37:38,060 --> 00:37:41,995
this gigantic ape, believed to
have lived alongside several

540
00:37:42,031 --> 00:37:46,200
early hominid species for tens
of thousands of years... is the

541
00:37:46,235 --> 00:37:49,668
largest known primate
to ever walk the Earth.

542
00:37:51,006 --> 00:37:55,830
Might the creature known as Bigfoot be
a descendant of this ancient beast?

543
00:37:57,112 --> 00:38:00,047
MELDRUM: A popular theory for the
origins of Sasquatch is that

544
00:38:00,082 --> 00:38:04,384
it may be descended from a known
great ape, Gigantopithecus,

545
00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:08,555
a giant ape that lived during
the latter part of the

546
00:38:08,591 --> 00:38:12,359
Pleistocene, and achieved,
along with many other animals,

547
00:38:12,394 --> 00:38:14,428
gigantic proportions.

548
00:38:14,430 --> 00:38:20,033
As an ape with a small brain, it
had extra crests and ridges of

549
00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:23,604
bone to provide attachment for
the massive muscles to drive

550
00:38:23,639 --> 00:38:26,740
these very heavy, heavy jaws.

551
00:38:26,775 --> 00:38:31,945
By comparison, the gorilla has
the crests and ridges that are

552
00:38:31,981 --> 00:38:36,550
found on Gigantopithecus, or
Bigfoot, presumably, to support

553
00:38:36,585 --> 00:38:42,557
the muscles attaching to a very small
brain with a small cranial covering.

554
00:38:43,592 --> 00:38:46,627
NARRATOR: The skulls of
Gigantopithecus and the modern...

555
00:38:46,662 --> 00:38:49,966
day gorilla are typical
of large primates.

556
00:38:52,301 --> 00:38:56,403
But the human skull, a species
believed to have also descended

557
00:38:56,438 --> 00:38:57,538
from large primates...

558
00:38:57,973 --> 00:38:59,106
is very different.

559
00:38:59,842 --> 00:39:04,979
MELDRUM: The human skull is remarkably
smaller, our distinction being

560
00:39:05,015 --> 00:39:07,914
the much greater cranial capacity,

561
00:39:07,949 --> 00:39:12,083
uh, small jaws, smaller
muscles to drive these jaws.

562
00:39:12,354 --> 00:39:15,355
NARRATOR: What can account for
such significant differences

563
00:39:15,424 --> 00:39:17,291
in related species?

564
00:39:17,326 --> 00:39:21,461
And why are humans relatively
hairless and possess brains

565
00:39:21,497 --> 00:39:24,531
far more advanced than other primates?

566
00:39:24,867 --> 00:39:29,169
Are we really the result of
evolution, or might the truth be

567
00:39:29,204 --> 00:39:34,775
that the real alien hybrid
is not Bigfoot, but man?

568
00:39:36,311 --> 00:39:39,646
TSOUKALOS: What today is referred
to as the "missing link" is

569
00:39:39,682 --> 00:39:41,682
extraterrestrial intervention.

570
00:39:41,684 --> 00:39:44,451
Because without that
extraterrestrial intervention,

571
00:39:44,486 --> 00:39:49,924
evolution did not take place
the way we're told in school.

572
00:39:51,126 --> 00:39:55,862
Right after we shed our fur,
for millennia, we had to keep

573
00:39:55,898 --> 00:39:58,065
warm by wearing furs.

574
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:03,170
Yet we used to have fur
all over our body.

575
00:40:03,205 --> 00:40:05,907
So something doesn't make sense.

576
00:40:06,975 --> 00:40:12,679
CHILDRESS: Our ancient ancestors
here may well be, in a

577
00:40:12,715 --> 00:40:17,184
sense, aliens from other solar
system, perhaps the Greys.

578
00:40:17,185 --> 00:40:23,591
And what they've done is
manipulate what we already

579
00:40:23,660 --> 00:40:29,830
humanoids on this planet, but
brute humanoids, hairy, brutish

580
00:40:29,866 --> 00:40:33,502
people, the caveman of ancient times.

581
00:40:33,503 --> 00:40:37,705
But we're being genetically
manipulated and given the DNA of

582
00:40:37,740 --> 00:40:41,075
these extraterrestrials.

583
00:40:41,710 --> 00:40:44,444
MARTELL: The progression of
the Darwinian evolution...

584
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,948
looking at the Neanderthal man,
the australopithecine, all the

585
00:40:47,983 --> 00:40:49,183
way up to Cro-Magnon...

586
00:40:49,218 --> 00:40:53,155
it's very possible that missing
link is still being looked into.

587
00:40:53,156 --> 00:40:55,856
Now I don't think they're ever
going to find it, because the

588
00:40:55,892 --> 00:40:58,659
missing link, more than likely,
was a genetic alteration on that

589
00:40:58,695 --> 00:41:00,695
hominid to make us.

590
00:41:00,797 --> 00:41:04,532
NARRATOR: Could Homo sapiens
really be a species not

591
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,401
indigenous to planet Earth?

592
00:41:07,336 --> 00:41:11,138
And if humans are the result of
genetic engineering by alien

593
00:41:11,174 --> 00:41:15,507
beings, as ancient astronaut
theorists believe,

594
00:41:17,145 --> 00:41:19,312
might Bigfoot creatures really be the

595
00:41:19,348 --> 00:41:23,215
last surviving examples of
prehistoric hominids?

596
00:41:23,286 --> 00:41:27,254
Creatures who would have
originally dominated this planet?

597
00:41:28,257 --> 00:41:31,058
CHILDRESS: Is it possible
that, during the genetic

598
00:41:31,094 --> 00:41:35,863
manipulation of human beings,
we at one point, started out as

599
00:41:35,898 --> 00:41:38,931
Sasquatch and Bigfoot and Yetis?

600
00:41:39,702 --> 00:41:42,570
MARTELL: One of the stories in
the Sumerian myths is how the

601
00:41:42,605 --> 00:41:46,507
gods came into contact with this
apelike creature here on Earth,

602
00:41:46,542 --> 00:41:49,510
and said, "We can put our
genetic marker on this creature

603
00:41:49,545 --> 00:41:52,880
and make man in our image
and "after our likeness."

604
00:41:53,716 --> 00:41:57,818
These apelike hairy creatures
existed here naturally on Earth

605
00:41:57,853 --> 00:42:01,388
and are possibly the origins of
how humanity was spliced by the

606
00:42:01,457 --> 00:42:05,659
Anunnaki into creating us
that still exist today.

607
00:42:07,395 --> 00:42:11,298
NARRATOR: Might the legend of
Bigfoot really be the story of

608
00:42:11,333 --> 00:42:15,968
Earth creatures who escaped
experimentation by ancient aliens?

609
00:42:17,339 --> 00:42:21,308
And could this help explain why
they have been hiding from man

610
00:42:21,343 --> 00:42:23,010
for thousands of years?

611
00:42:23,178 --> 00:42:24,044
(creature bellowing)

612
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,582
O'BRIEN: I think, out of all the
so called paranormal phenomena

613
00:42:27,617 --> 00:42:32,317
that is scoffed up by science, we,
at some point in the not-too...

614
00:42:32,353 --> 00:42:35,586
distant future... are going to
have real, irrefutable evidence

615
00:42:35,657 --> 00:42:37,323
of the existence of these creatures.

616
00:42:37,324 --> 00:42:40,527
The fact that Bigfoot have been
able to skirt about on the

617
00:42:40,563 --> 00:42:45,332
periphery and remain hidden and
remain secretive and be seldom

618
00:42:45,367 --> 00:42:48,533
seen means that they're intelligent.

619
00:42:48,571 --> 00:42:52,706
But what happens when
populations keep expanding,

620
00:42:52,741 --> 00:42:55,676
remote areas start getting
settled, and Bigfoot starts to

621
00:42:55,711 --> 00:42:57,911
lose more and more of its territory?

622
00:42:57,947 --> 00:42:58,912
What's gonna happen?

623
00:42:58,948 --> 00:43:01,116
Where is Bigfoot gonna go?

624
00:43:02,418 --> 00:43:05,052
COPPENS: I think this is
extraordinarily powerful

625
00:43:05,087 --> 00:43:08,122
information to suggest that
we were indeed engineered by

626
00:43:08,190 --> 00:43:12,359
ancient extraterrestrial beings,
and Bigfoot might just be the

627
00:43:12,394 --> 00:43:14,694
first intelligent life here on Earth.

628
00:43:17,732 --> 00:43:22,303
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the
legends of Bigfoot creatures are real?

629
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,773
Could they have been the product
of genetic manipulation by

630
00:43:26,809 --> 00:43:28,677
otherworldly beings?

631
00:43:29,912 --> 00:43:32,112
Or are humans the real alien

632
00:43:32,148 --> 00:43:38,282
creatures, manufactured by using
alien and hominid DNA?

633
00:43:40,083 --> 00:43:45,083
If so, it might help to explain
why Bigfoot is so elusive.

634
00:43:45,584 --> 00:43:51,984
Not because we're afraid of him,
but because they are afraid of us.
