00:00:02,005 --> 00:00:03,213
NARRATOR:
A mysterious signal

2
00:00:03,338 --> 00:00:06,547
detected beneath the ice
of Antarctica.

3
00:00:06,755 --> 00:00:11,005
A lake in China
where UFOs are seen emerging

4
00:00:11,213 --> 00:00:13,172
from beneath the water.

5
00:00:13,338 --> 00:00:16,713
And powerful magnetic
anomalies observed

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,922
near Mount Denali in Alaska.

7
00:00:20,047 --> 00:00:23,088
For over a decade,
Ancient Aliens has investigated

8
00:00:23,213 --> 00:00:26,922
locations notorious
for strange phenomena.

9
00:00:27,088 --> 00:00:30,922
Now we're going to explore
the most compelling

10
00:00:31,088 --> 00:00:33,463
and anomalous sites
we've featured.

11
00:00:33,588 --> 00:00:38,463
Sites that some believe
are hidden alien bases.

12
00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:43,005
♪ ♪

13
00:00:48,338 --> 00:00:51,505
People love to tell me
about their UFO sightings,

14
00:00:51,713 --> 00:00:55,172
and it seems like
there are more now than ever.

15
00:00:55,338 --> 00:00:58,422
Which begs the question:
is it possible

16
00:00:58,630 --> 00:01:02,505
that aliens actually
reside right here on Earth?

17
00:01:02,713 --> 00:01:05,963
In this countdown,
we take a look at locations

18
00:01:06,088 --> 00:01:08,463
around the planet
that might be hiding secret

19
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:11,130
outposts for otherworldly
beings.

20
00:01:11,338 --> 00:01:15,130
We start at one of the coldest
places on Earth,

21
00:01:15,338 --> 00:01:19,505
where military whistleblowers
describe very strange activity

22
00:01:19,588 --> 00:01:21,630
beneath the ice.

23
00:01:21,797 --> 00:01:25,630
At number ten on
our countdown of the top ten

24
00:01:25,755 --> 00:01:29,547
hidden alien bases: Antarctica.

25
00:01:33,255 --> 00:01:36,213
NARRATOR:
On the bottom of our planet
lies the coldest

26
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:40,838
and most isolated continent
in the world... Antarctica.

27
00:01:42,088 --> 00:01:44,963
The average daily temperature
at the South Pole

28
00:01:45,088 --> 00:01:47,505
is -56 degrees Fahrenheit,

29
00:01:47,672 --> 00:01:51,630
and wind speeds can reach
over 100 miles per hour.

30
00:01:52,588 --> 00:01:56,505
Today, the only inhabitants
of this barren landscape

31
00:01:56,713 --> 00:01:59,672
are a few thousand scientists
who work

32
00:01:59,797 --> 00:02:03,422
in research stations
scattered across the continent.

33
00:02:03,588 --> 00:02:07,255
But most interesting
to ancient astronaut theorists

34
00:02:07,422 --> 00:02:10,338
are reports of
extraterrestrial activity

35
00:02:10,463 --> 00:02:13,922
that is hidden
under Antarctica's ice.

36
00:02:14,088 --> 00:02:16,005
Something seems to be going on

37
00:02:16,213 --> 00:02:18,672
on this mysterious continent
at the South Pole.

38
00:02:18,838 --> 00:02:21,338
And it has been theorized
by a number of people

39
00:02:21,547 --> 00:02:25,755
that Antarctica is
some kind of alien base.

40
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,797
NARRATOR:
One of the earliest accounts
of extraterrestrial activity

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,838
in Antarctica can be found

42
00:02:35,005 --> 00:02:38,338
in a curious report
from the 1930s.

43
00:02:38,505 --> 00:02:41,630
During World War II,
the Nazis used

44
00:02:41,797 --> 00:02:44,755
U-boats to go down to
Antarctica and explore it.

45
00:02:44,963 --> 00:02:49,672
Allegedly, they found some
of these caverns beneath the ice

46
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,213
and technology which perhaps
came from extraterrestrials.

47
00:02:56,005 --> 00:02:59,047
NARRATOR:
After the Nazis
were defeated in 1945,

48
00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:04,130
the U.S. military sent
an expedition to Antarctica.

49
00:03:05,838 --> 00:03:09,838
According to reports, soon
after the expedition arrived,

50
00:03:10,047 --> 00:03:14,797
they encountered alien craft
coming up out of the water.

51
00:03:16,838 --> 00:03:21,505
Antarctica has had a number of
interesting UFO types of events

52
00:03:21,630 --> 00:03:25,505
since the 1940s that were
very well documented.

53
00:03:26,588 --> 00:03:29,505
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that Antarctica is

54
00:03:29,713 --> 00:03:32,172
not only home
to an extraterrestrial presence

55
00:03:32,338 --> 00:03:36,172
but is the location
of a hidden alien base?

56
00:03:37,755 --> 00:03:40,547
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

57
00:03:40,713 --> 00:03:42,797
and point
to shocking disclosures

58
00:03:42,963 --> 00:03:46,838
from those on the ground
that validate these claims.

59
00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:52,338
In February 2019,

60
00:03:52,547 --> 00:03:55,380
investigative reporter
Linda Moulton Howe

61
00:03:55,547 --> 00:03:59,380
interviewed a former Navy flight
engineer about his experience

62
00:03:59,547 --> 00:04:03,463
on the condition that she not
reveal his identity.

63
00:04:03,547 --> 00:04:07,338
Her source,
who is identified as "Brian,"

64
00:04:07,505 --> 00:04:11,005
provided her with details of
a mysterious structure he claims

65
00:04:11,172 --> 00:04:14,422
to have seen during
his time in Antarctica.

66
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:19,172
According to "Brian,"
sometime around October 1985,

67
00:04:19,338 --> 00:04:20,672
he and his team

68
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,130
were instructed to fly
from McMurdo Station

69
00:04:23,297 --> 00:04:26,505
to Davis Camp
to pick up an injured scientist.

70
00:04:26,713 --> 00:04:29,588
A trip that would
take about six hours.

71
00:04:29,755 --> 00:04:32,838
However, they received
strict orders

72
00:04:33,005 --> 00:04:36,005
to avoid flying over a so-called
air-sampling station

73
00:04:36,213 --> 00:04:39,588
that was along
the most direct route.

74
00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:42,297
(distorted): So, we were given
orders to deviate--

75
00:04:42,463 --> 00:04:44,213
I believe it was
30-mile deviation

76
00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:45,755
away from
the air-sampling station.

77
00:04:45,922 --> 00:04:51,422
The officers on board
suggested that we fly

78
00:04:51,588 --> 00:04:53,338
straight over
the air-sampling station

79
00:04:53,463 --> 00:04:55,588
and not deviate, and that would
save us 30 minutes.

80
00:04:55,755 --> 00:04:58,463
-It was a no-fly zone.
-It was a no-fly zone

81
00:04:58,588 --> 00:05:02,172
for that specific region,
um, around the Pole.

82
00:05:02,297 --> 00:05:05,172
NARRATOR:
When the crew flew over
the area where

83
00:05:05,255 --> 00:05:07,672
the air-sampling station
was supposed to be,

84
00:05:07,838 --> 00:05:10,672
what they observed was
something much different.

85
00:05:11,922 --> 00:05:15,630
BRIAN:
There was this giant indentation
that looked like a hole

86
00:05:15,797 --> 00:05:18,797
in the ice that looked
like a snow ramp

87
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,422
that went down into it.

88
00:05:20,547 --> 00:05:23,505
The Polar Plateau at
South Pole is completely flat.

89
00:05:23,588 --> 00:05:25,213
There are no holes there.

90
00:05:25,380 --> 00:05:27,463
Now there's this big,
large hole in the ice

91
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:28,922
that stood out
like a sore thumb.

92
00:05:29,088 --> 00:05:30,130
It should not have been there.

93
00:05:31,172 --> 00:05:34,797
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that the strange
hole that Brian saw

94
00:05:35,005 --> 00:05:36,588
was the entrance to a secret,

95
00:05:36,755 --> 00:05:41,255
even extraterrestrial base
that is hidden in Antarctica?

96
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:45,005
When we think about
the location of an alien base,

97
00:05:45,130 --> 00:05:49,713
our attention should
immediately focus on Antarctica.

98
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,297
It's the perfect location
for an extraterrestrial base

99
00:05:55,505 --> 00:05:57,672
if something was coming
to and from Earth

100
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,005
but wanted a permanent
presence here.

101
00:06:03,047 --> 00:06:06,547
A base beneath the ice
of Antarctica would be

102
00:06:06,713 --> 00:06:09,880
a great location for
extraterrestrials to hide out.

103
00:06:10,088 --> 00:06:14,172
But there is another
compelling site in China,

104
00:06:14,338 --> 00:06:17,880
where it's said
that alien craft emerge

105
00:06:18,047 --> 00:06:22,213
not from under the ice
but from deep underwater.

106
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:27,422
At number nine on our countdown:
Fuxian Lake.

107
00:06:28,630 --> 00:06:31,297
NARRATOR:
Yunnan Province, China.

108
00:06:31,505 --> 00:06:34,672
October 24, 1991.

109
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,963
A local fisherman named
Zhang Yuxiang is fishing on

110
00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:42,422
Fuxian Lake during
a clear and tranquil day,

111
00:06:42,547 --> 00:06:44,172
when a mysterious object

112
00:06:44,338 --> 00:06:47,755
suddenly appears in
the vast body of water.

113
00:06:49,297 --> 00:06:52,338
He described it as
a shining disc.

114
00:06:52,505 --> 00:06:55,672
And he said that the wake
from this was so powerful,

115
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,380
it actually tossed
the boat around.

116
00:06:59,505 --> 00:07:02,338
And then rapidly this craft
just disappeared

117
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:03,838
up into the sky.

118
00:07:05,047 --> 00:07:07,172
NARRATOR:
Could it be that
an extraterrestrial base

119
00:07:07,338 --> 00:07:10,672
is located deep underwater?

120
00:07:10,838 --> 00:07:13,838
Perhaps clues can be found
in historic accounts

121
00:07:14,005 --> 00:07:17,755
of USOs, or unidentified
submersible objects,

122
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,255
that have been seen at Fuxian
Lake for hundreds of years.

123
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:26,338
NICK REDFERN:
According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi,
a book written during

124
00:07:26,547 --> 00:07:30,380
the reign of Emperor Daoguang
in the Qing Dynasty,

125
00:07:30,547 --> 00:07:33,672
a horse-like monster
lived in the lake.

126
00:07:33,797 --> 00:07:35,963
The animal was described
as being white

127
00:07:36,172 --> 00:07:37,630
with red spots on its back.

128
00:07:37,797 --> 00:07:40,172
More intriguingly,
it was a creature that could

129
00:07:40,338 --> 00:07:41,922
actually take to the skies.

130
00:07:44,047 --> 00:07:46,755
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the UFOs emerging

131
00:07:46,922 --> 00:07:49,838
from the water are
evidence of an alien base

132
00:07:50,005 --> 00:07:53,630
hidden deep beneath
the surface of Fuxian Lake?

133
00:07:53,797 --> 00:07:57,838
Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes and point to evidence

134
00:07:57,922 --> 00:08:01,338
of an underwater city
that was recently discovered

135
00:08:01,505 --> 00:08:03,797
in this large body of water.

136
00:08:03,963 --> 00:08:05,713
Ancient Chinese records
speak of a city

137
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,838
in the area of
Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan.

138
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,422
However, studies of
the underwater structures

139
00:08:13,547 --> 00:08:17,047
show that it's actually
much older

140
00:08:17,213 --> 00:08:20,380
than this Yuyuan city.

141
00:08:20,547 --> 00:08:24,505
So you have to wonder,
is this some kind of

142
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:27,880
underwater
extraterrestrial base?

143
00:08:30,047 --> 00:08:33,630
In 2014, a mysterious structure
was discovered

144
00:08:33,797 --> 00:08:36,380
off the coast
of Southern California

145
00:08:36,588 --> 00:08:40,047
that some believe presents some
of the best evidence yet

146
00:08:40,213 --> 00:08:44,630
that extraterrestrials
are residing on the ocean floor.

147
00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:46,838
Number eight on our countdown

148
00:08:47,005 --> 00:08:50,338
of the top ten hidden
alien bases:

149
00:08:50,505 --> 00:08:52,713
the Malibu USO base.

150
00:08:59,963 --> 00:09:02,130
NARRATOR:
With almost 30 miles
of coastline,

151
00:09:02,297 --> 00:09:06,088
this picturesque region
boasts spectacular beaches,

152
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:11,380
abundant hiking trails,
and world-famous surfing.

153
00:09:11,547 --> 00:09:14,630
It's also a hot spot
for sightings

154
00:09:14,755 --> 00:09:17,880
of mysterious lights
in the water.

155
00:09:18,005 --> 00:09:20,338
BILL BIRNES:
Folks have seen lights

156
00:09:20,463 --> 00:09:22,213
in the water outside

157
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:24,297
Point Dume off the Malibu coast.

158
00:09:25,422 --> 00:09:30,797
Off the coast of Malibu,
USOs are phenomenally common.

159
00:09:31,797 --> 00:09:36,672
A USO is an unidentified
submersible object.

160
00:09:37,630 --> 00:09:38,630
POPE:
One theory

161
00:09:38,797 --> 00:09:40,422
about this trans-medium travel

162
00:09:40,588 --> 00:09:44,672
and these USOs is that
what we're seeing

163
00:09:44,797 --> 00:09:47,755
is evidence of underwater bases.

164
00:09:47,963 --> 00:09:51,338
They're operating here,
but under the oceans,

165
00:09:51,547 --> 00:09:54,088
right under our noses.

166
00:09:55,505 --> 00:09:58,755
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that there is
an extraterrestrial base

167
00:09:58,922 --> 00:10:01,797
in the oceans
around Southern California?

168
00:10:03,713 --> 00:10:06,505
Many UFO researchers say yes

169
00:10:06,713 --> 00:10:11,422
and point to satellite
images captured in 2014

170
00:10:11,588 --> 00:10:14,838
that reveal a curious
formation on the seabed

171
00:10:15,047 --> 00:10:18,047
six miles off the coast
of Malibu.

172
00:10:18,213 --> 00:10:21,797
The satellite photos show
what seems to be

173
00:10:22,005 --> 00:10:25,088
an oval, flat-topped structure

174
00:10:25,255 --> 00:10:28,505
that's got legs coming down
that are holding it up.

175
00:10:28,672 --> 00:10:32,255
It's about 2,000 feet
underwater.

176
00:10:32,422 --> 00:10:37,338
POPE:
A lot of people got
very excited by this discovery.

177
00:10:37,505 --> 00:10:43,047
It's really quite striking, and
it really does look artificial.

178
00:10:43,213 --> 00:10:46,630
And it makes you wonder,
is this, as some believe,

179
00:10:46,755 --> 00:10:48,547
an extraterrestrial base?

180
00:10:49,588 --> 00:10:52,713
NARRATOR:
Is there a connection
between the strange lights

181
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,922
seen in the waters off
the coast of Southern California

182
00:10:56,088 --> 00:10:58,338
and the mysterious
undersea structure

183
00:10:58,547 --> 00:11:00,755
captured in the satellite image?

184
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,880
For scientists it's
a distinct possibility.

185
00:11:06,047 --> 00:11:08,672
MICHIO KAKU:
If all these objects
are observing us,

186
00:11:08,838 --> 00:11:11,713
they must have a base
of operations.

187
00:11:11,922 --> 00:11:13,838
So perhaps there's
an underwater base

188
00:11:14,005 --> 00:11:17,255
that is away from
prying eyes of humans.

189
00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:19,880
That cannot be ruled out.

190
00:11:24,838 --> 00:11:26,338
I g

191
00:11:26,547 --> 00:11:27,963
that all around the world,

192
00:11:28,130 --> 00:11:31,047
ancient people referred
to mountaintops

193
00:11:31,213 --> 00:11:32,797
as the home of the gods.

194
00:11:32,922 --> 00:11:35,338
And at one summit in Greece,

195
00:11:35,547 --> 00:11:37,005
there is an ancient structure

196
00:11:37,172 --> 00:11:39,672
that is described
as the actual landing spot

197
00:11:39,797 --> 00:11:41,963
of an otherworldly being.

198
00:11:42,172 --> 00:11:45,838
Number seven on our list
of the top ten

199
00:11:46,047 --> 00:11:50,213
hidden alien bases:
the dragon house.

200
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:55,338
NARRATOR:
Euboea, Greece.

201
00:11:55,505 --> 00:12:00,130
This majestic island is famous
for its crystal-clear waters,

202
00:12:00,255 --> 00:12:03,297
white sand beaches
and charming villages.

203
00:12:03,463 --> 00:12:07,338
But dotting the landscape
are mysterious structures

204
00:12:07,547 --> 00:12:12,047
that some researchers believe
have an otherworldly connection.

205
00:12:13,338 --> 00:12:16,505
In Greece, we find these
highly mysterious buildings

206
00:12:16,672 --> 00:12:18,380
referred to as dragon houses.

207
00:12:19,713 --> 00:12:21,588
These are megalithic structures

208
00:12:21,755 --> 00:12:24,380
that are built out of
these very large stones.

209
00:12:25,672 --> 00:12:28,213
NARRATOR:
Of the 25 dragon houses
in Euboea,

210
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:30,838
the one that is
believed to be the oldest

211
00:12:31,005 --> 00:12:34,463
is of particular interest
to ancient astronaut theorists.

212
00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:38,297
TSOUKALOS:
The main dragon house
is at the very top

213
00:12:38,422 --> 00:12:39,797
of one of the tallest mountains

214
00:12:39,963 --> 00:12:43,713
on the island called Mount Ochi.

215
00:12:43,922 --> 00:12:46,463
And it is one of the largest
megalithic structures

216
00:12:46,630 --> 00:12:48,130
in all of Greece.

217
00:12:49,213 --> 00:12:50,838
NARRATOR:
According to legend,

218
00:12:50,963 --> 00:12:53,713
the dragon house on top
of Mount Ochi

219
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,505
was built to venerate
the arrival of

220
00:12:56,672 --> 00:12:58,088
otherworldly visitors.

221
00:12:59,047 --> 00:13:01,172
The reason why they're
called dragon houses

222
00:13:01,338 --> 00:13:04,672
is because it is thought

223
00:13:04,797 --> 00:13:07,005
-that Zeus...
-(thunder crashes)

224
00:13:07,213 --> 00:13:10,630
...descended from
the sky in a dragon.

225
00:13:10,797 --> 00:13:13,380
Countless times, our ancestors

226
00:13:13,547 --> 00:13:16,588
referred to these things
up in the sky as dragons.

227
00:13:16,755 --> 00:13:18,005
And why?

228
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:20,880
Because there was
a lot of smoke and fire.

229
00:13:21,047 --> 00:13:23,005
From the ancient
astronaut perspective,

230
00:13:23,213 --> 00:13:25,838
the dragon was never a dragon.

231
00:13:26,005 --> 00:13:28,088
It was a flying craft.

232
00:13:28,213 --> 00:13:29,547
In my opinion,

233
00:13:29,755 --> 00:13:33,047
this was an
extraterrestrial visitation

234
00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:35,547
where Zeus may have
descended in his craft

235
00:13:35,713 --> 00:13:38,005
and built a day camp.

236
00:13:38,172 --> 00:13:41,505
NARRATOR:
Could the dragon house
at the top of Mount Ochi

237
00:13:41,713 --> 00:13:44,005
be the remnants of a hidden base

238
00:13:44,172 --> 00:13:47,672
where otherworldly beings
landed in the distant past?

239
00:13:47,838 --> 00:13:50,922
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

240
00:13:51,047 --> 00:13:54,130
and suggest evidence of this
can be found

241
00:13:54,255 --> 00:13:56,922
in the structure's
remote location.

242
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:02,338
TSOUKALOS:
Archaeologists have
a hard time explaining why

243
00:14:02,463 --> 00:14:04,130
it was even built there

244
00:14:04,255 --> 00:14:07,588
because we are talking
of this gigantic,

245
00:14:07,797 --> 00:14:11,172
megalithic structure
with a ceiling

246
00:14:11,338 --> 00:14:15,213
that contains blocks
that are up to ten feet long,

247
00:14:15,380 --> 00:14:17,505
two feet thick,

248
00:14:17,713 --> 00:14:21,172
at an altitude of 5,000 feet.

249
00:14:21,380 --> 00:14:25,880
So why any people
back in the day

250
00:14:26,047 --> 00:14:28,755
would build something up there
would make no sense

251
00:14:28,922 --> 00:14:33,505
unless you wanted to
be closer to the gods.

252
00:14:34,630 --> 00:14:35,922
Now, when you put
all this together,

253
00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:38,172
this sounds like
the dragon house

254
00:14:38,338 --> 00:14:39,838
is a meeting place of
heaven and Earth.

255
00:14:40,047 --> 00:14:44,172
In UFO vernacular,
that would be a landing spot.

256
00:14:45,130 --> 00:14:47,922
When it comes
to mysterious locations

257
00:14:48,088 --> 00:14:50,463
that might be
hiding alien bases,

258
00:14:50,630 --> 00:14:52,838
one of the most extraordinary

259
00:14:53,005 --> 00:14:56,005
can be found high up
in the Himalayas.

260
00:14:56,172 --> 00:14:57,963
According to local legends,

261
00:14:58,047 --> 00:15:00,130
there is a snow-capped peak

262
00:15:00,255 --> 00:15:02,797
that contains a secret entrance

263
00:15:02,963 --> 00:15:05,047
to a city of the gods.

264
00:15:05,213 --> 00:15:07,672
Number six on our list:

265
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,338
Mount Kailash.

266
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:14,922
NARRATOR:
Tibet.

267
00:15:15,088 --> 00:15:18,463
Standing amongst
the mighty Himalayas

268
00:15:18,588 --> 00:15:20,130
is the most important mountain

269
00:15:20,297 --> 00:15:22,838
for many of the region's
three million Buddhists,

270
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:24,422
Mount Kailash.

271
00:15:25,713 --> 00:15:27,713
According to ancient
Buddhist texts

272
00:15:27,922 --> 00:15:29,922
known as the Kalachakra tantra,

273
00:15:30,088 --> 00:15:33,797
Mount Kailash is the location
of a secret kingdom

274
00:15:33,963 --> 00:15:36,463
where heavenly beings
reside on Earth.

275
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:39,172
It's known as Shambhala.

276
00:15:39,338 --> 00:15:43,380
The Buddhists in Tibet
have a very strong tradition

277
00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:45,130
of a place called Shambhala.

278
00:15:46,255 --> 00:15:49,338
Shambhala is a secret city.
It's said to be underground.

279
00:15:49,547 --> 00:15:53,505
It's ruled by kings
who live for hundreds of years.

280
00:15:53,630 --> 00:15:55,505
They have wonderful technology.

281
00:15:56,547 --> 00:16:00,047
There are flying saucers
and things like that.

282
00:16:00,213 --> 00:16:03,672
The Himalayan region is
filled with stories

283
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:06,713
of so-called celestial beings

284
00:16:06,922 --> 00:16:09,463
that descended from the sky

285
00:16:09,588 --> 00:16:11,213
in flying vehicles.

286
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:14,338
According to some of
the earliest Sanskrit texts,

287
00:16:14,547 --> 00:16:18,672
the first Buddha
that ever walked the Earth

288
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,838
was nine feet tall,
had light blue skin,

289
00:16:23,047 --> 00:16:26,838
and his arms reached all
the way down to his knees.

290
00:16:26,963 --> 00:16:30,088
The reason why
this area of the world

291
00:16:30,297 --> 00:16:32,005
has become a religious center

292
00:16:32,213 --> 00:16:36,005
is because of the arrival of
the extraterrestrials.

293
00:16:37,047 --> 00:16:39,130
NARRATOR:
Curiously, many
who have explored

294
00:16:39,338 --> 00:16:43,505
this sacred peak have observed
mysterious objects in the sky.

295
00:16:43,713 --> 00:16:45,047
POPE:
Mount Kailash

296
00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:47,880
is at the center
of all sorts of mysteries.

297
00:16:48,047 --> 00:16:49,547
UFO sightings,

298
00:16:49,755 --> 00:16:52,963
the hint that there might be
something hidden there,

299
00:16:53,130 --> 00:16:54,713
but it's unknowable.

300
00:16:55,713 --> 00:16:58,713
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the mysterious phenomena

301
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,172
occurring at Mount Kailash,

302
00:17:00,338 --> 00:17:03,005
and its association
with Shambhala

303
00:17:03,172 --> 00:17:07,172
is connected to
a hidden extraterrestrial base?

304
00:17:08,338 --> 00:17:11,797
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest answers can be found

305
00:17:11,922 --> 00:17:14,505
by studying the sacred
Buddhist monuments

306
00:17:14,713 --> 00:17:16,380
known as stupas.

307
00:17:17,630 --> 00:17:21,338
TSOUKALOS:
A stupa, by definition,
is a vehicle

308
00:17:21,547 --> 00:17:23,422
with which to reach
the realm of the gods.

309
00:17:23,588 --> 00:17:25,755
That is
the definition of a stupa.

310
00:17:25,922 --> 00:17:29,088
Well, just change
the wording of vehicle

311
00:17:29,255 --> 00:17:32,213
with which to reach space.

312
00:17:34,297 --> 00:17:37,130
HENRY:
For centuries, people
have been sighting UFOs

313
00:17:37,297 --> 00:17:39,338
coming in
and out of Mount Kailash.

314
00:17:40,297 --> 00:17:42,088
It's very interesting
when you compare

315
00:17:42,255 --> 00:17:45,172
the shape of the stupas
that we find in Tibet,

316
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:48,005
with these dome shapes,
and how they highly resemble

317
00:17:48,172 --> 00:17:51,213
flying saucers
sitting on the ground.

318
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:55,380
So, perhaps people saw these
craft entering into Kailash

319
00:17:55,547 --> 00:17:57,172
and decided
we're gonna build stupas

320
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:59,297
in remembrance of what they saw.

321
00:18:00,630 --> 00:18:02,672
NARRATOR:
Might the Buddhist
stupas of Tibet

322
00:18:02,838 --> 00:18:05,172
be monuments to alien craft

323
00:18:05,338 --> 00:18:08,547
witnessed flying in
and around Mount Kailash?

324
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:12,922
Could it be that somewhere
on the slopes of this mountain

325
00:18:13,088 --> 00:18:16,505
is the entrance to
a hidden extraterrestrial base?

326
00:18:17,547 --> 00:18:20,172
HENRY:
Mount Kailash is known
as the gateway to Shambhala.

327
00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:22,755
There are many myths and legends

328
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,672
and strange things that have
gone on at Mount Kailash.

329
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:27,922
People go there on pilgrimages,

330
00:18:28,047 --> 00:18:29,505
but they're told
not to stay there long

331
00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:32,088
because there's something
radioactive inside the mountain.

332
00:18:33,213 --> 00:18:34,838
And we're told that
people live there,

333
00:18:35,005 --> 00:18:36,255
both in physical form

334
00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:38,172
and in nonphysical form.

335
00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:43,172
It has to be one of the
strangest places on the planet.

336
00:18:48,547 --> 00:18:50,422
t

337
00:18:50,547 --> 00:18:54,255
of our countdown of
the top ten hidden alien bases,

338
00:18:54,422 --> 00:18:58,880
and this next location has
documented anomalous activity

339
00:18:59,047 --> 00:19:00,588
for thousands of years.

340
00:19:00,797 --> 00:19:04,005
Perched high in
the Italian Alps is a mountain

341
00:19:04,213 --> 00:19:07,130
that is said to be
a destination for UFOs.

342
00:19:08,338 --> 00:19:09,963
Number five on our list:

343
00:19:10,088 --> 00:19:12,505
Mount Musinè.

344
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:19,172
NARRATOR:
Turin, Italy.

345
00:19:20,213 --> 00:19:22,547
Situated on the western
bank of the Po River,

346
00:19:22,713 --> 00:19:25,172
this city of nearly
two million people

347
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:27,630
is an important
international business hub.

348
00:19:27,797 --> 00:19:30,797
But overlooking this
modern metropolis

349
00:19:30,922 --> 00:19:33,005
is Italy's most mysterious,

350
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,463
and infamous, ancient site:

351
00:19:35,588 --> 00:19:37,505
Mount Musinè.

352
00:19:38,547 --> 00:19:41,505
Rising to an elevation
of nearly 4,000 feet,

353
00:19:41,672 --> 00:19:44,838
Mount Musinè has stood
at a unique crossroads

354
00:19:45,005 --> 00:19:48,255
of history and
mysterious phenomenon.

355
00:19:49,963 --> 00:19:52,005
This is a mountain

356
00:19:52,213 --> 00:19:54,588
where, over the years,

357
00:19:54,713 --> 00:19:57,838
almost to the beginning
of recorded human history,

358
00:19:58,005 --> 00:19:59,922
strange things have been seen.

359
00:20:01,213 --> 00:20:02,213
Lights were seen.

360
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:04,338
There has been all sorts

361
00:20:04,505 --> 00:20:07,380
of weirdness on this mountain.

362
00:20:08,422 --> 00:20:11,338
NARRATOR:
Local legends passed
down from ancient times

363
00:20:11,505 --> 00:20:15,422
tell about this mountain being
home to werewolves and wizards.

364
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,130
And in the 4th century AD,

365
00:20:19,297 --> 00:20:20,755
the Roman Emperor Constantine

366
00:20:20,922 --> 00:20:24,922
saw a cross floating in
the sky over the mountain,

367
00:20:25,047 --> 00:20:28,922
which inspired him to convert
the empire to Christianity.

368
00:20:30,213 --> 00:20:32,047
CHILDRESS:
This light phenomenon

369
00:20:32,172 --> 00:20:33,797
and unusual activity
on Mount Musinè

370
00:20:33,922 --> 00:20:35,797
has been going on for
thousands of years,

371
00:20:35,963 --> 00:20:37,547
and continues to this day.

372
00:20:39,797 --> 00:20:41,797
POPE:
In 1933,

373
00:20:41,922 --> 00:20:44,963
it's claimed that a UFO crashed

374
00:20:45,130 --> 00:20:46,922
in the Lombardy region of Italy.

375
00:20:48,255 --> 00:20:50,672
This was apparently
an object around

376
00:20:50,838 --> 00:20:52,505
50 feet in diameter,

377
00:20:52,713 --> 00:20:55,838
like two saucers
joined together.

378
00:20:56,047 --> 00:21:00,380
It was described as being
grayish in color and metallic,

379
00:21:00,547 --> 00:21:04,630
and apparently, it was
then taken by the military

380
00:21:04,797 --> 00:21:05,797
and studied

381
00:21:05,963 --> 00:21:08,213
on the personal orders

382
00:21:08,338 --> 00:21:11,338
of the then dictator
Benito Mussolini.

383
00:21:12,463 --> 00:21:14,922
NARRATOR:
According to some accounts,
the UFO crashed

384
00:21:15,088 --> 00:21:16,672
near the city of Magenta,

385
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,380
just 80 miles northeast of
Mount Musinè.

386
00:21:21,422 --> 00:21:23,380
For ancient
astronauts theorists,

387
00:21:23,547 --> 00:21:27,588
the proximity to Mount Musinè
is no coincidence.

388
00:21:29,338 --> 00:21:31,922
Let's just suppose that
the common thread here

389
00:21:32,047 --> 00:21:35,755
is actually Earth energies,

390
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,380
which the UFOs know about

391
00:21:38,547 --> 00:21:41,172
and use, perhaps,

392
00:21:41,338 --> 00:21:44,588
to draw the energy
that they need.

393
00:21:44,755 --> 00:21:48,922
So, might we be dealing with,
not just visitation,

394
00:21:49,088 --> 00:21:51,422
but a more permanent facility?

395
00:21:52,463 --> 00:21:54,338
HENRY:
When we try
to come to a conclusion

396
00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:57,713
or a summation about
what is going on in Italy,

397
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,963
going back from prehistoric
times to modern times,

398
00:22:02,130 --> 00:22:04,088
the common element is

399
00:22:04,255 --> 00:22:06,588
the gods came to this
very specific place

400
00:22:06,713 --> 00:22:08,880
because of something
at Mount Musinè.

401
00:22:09,922 --> 00:22:11,922
Something either
in the mountain or something

402
00:22:12,088 --> 00:22:14,422
that was placed there by them.

403
00:22:17,297 --> 00:22:19,672
The reports
of extraterrestrial craft

404
00:22:19,797 --> 00:22:22,630
at Mount Musinè
are certainly compelling.

405
00:22:22,797 --> 00:22:25,588
But at this next site
in New Mexico,

406
00:22:25,755 --> 00:22:29,297
witnesses claim
to have had actual encounters

407
00:22:29,463 --> 00:22:31,047
with alien beings.

408
00:22:32,047 --> 00:22:35,963
At number four:
the Dulce underground base.

409
00:22:42,422 --> 00:22:44,713
NARRATOR:
Dulce, New Mexico.

410
00:22:44,838 --> 00:22:48,213
Towering over this small town
in the northern part

411
00:22:48,422 --> 00:22:50,463
of the state
is the Archuleta Mesa.

412
00:22:51,755 --> 00:22:55,838
This region has been home to the
Jicarilla Apache Indian Tribe

413
00:22:56,047 --> 00:22:57,547
for over six centuries.

414
00:22:57,672 --> 00:23:01,005
Their oral histories
date back hundreds of years

415
00:23:01,172 --> 00:23:04,630
and are filled with stories
of mysterious beings

416
00:23:04,797 --> 00:23:08,338
who came from the stars
and live underground.

417
00:23:12,005 --> 00:23:14,963
HOWE:
I was working
in Dulce, New Mexico,

418
00:23:15,130 --> 00:23:19,005
and I had been told that
the Apaches wanted to talk to me

419
00:23:19,213 --> 00:23:22,422
where several had seen

420
00:23:22,588 --> 00:23:25,005
a huge glowing disc,

421
00:23:25,130 --> 00:23:26,963
and they wanted to tell me

422
00:23:27,130 --> 00:23:29,338
that they knew for a fact

423
00:23:29,463 --> 00:23:32,380
that the star people

424
00:23:32,547 --> 00:23:36,797
are some type of beings
that are underground in Dulce

425
00:23:36,963 --> 00:23:39,505
at Mount Archuleta

426
00:23:39,672 --> 00:23:42,130
and Archuleta Mesa.

427
00:23:43,797 --> 00:23:46,547
NARRATOR: According
to government insiders,

428
00:23:46,713 --> 00:23:49,755
located nearly two miles
beneath Mount Archuleta

429
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,172
is a secret subterranean
military installation

430
00:23:54,338 --> 00:23:57,380
known as
the Dulce Air Force Base.

431
00:23:57,547 --> 00:23:59,963
Whistleblower Phil Schneider

432
00:24:00,047 --> 00:24:02,297
claimed to have worked
on the construction

433
00:24:02,422 --> 00:24:05,797
of this underground base
for the U.S. government.

434
00:24:07,047 --> 00:24:10,005
Phil Schneider was
a very interesting geologist

435
00:24:10,213 --> 00:24:13,672
used by the U.S. government
to do excavations

436
00:24:13,838 --> 00:24:16,338
of large areas
under military contract

437
00:24:16,505 --> 00:24:18,588
where they were essentially
going to be building

438
00:24:18,713 --> 00:24:22,672
large caverns and connecting
underground passageways.

439
00:24:24,047 --> 00:24:26,672
NARRATOR:
On May 8, 1995,

440
00:24:26,838 --> 00:24:29,672
Schneider gave a presentation
in Post Falls, Idaho

441
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,463
and claimed he was attacked
by extraterrestrials

442
00:24:33,588 --> 00:24:35,255
deep underground.

443
00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:37,547
Part of what
I'm going to tell you

444
00:24:37,755 --> 00:24:39,380
is going to be very shocking.

445
00:24:39,547 --> 00:24:43,963
I was involved in 1979
in a horrendous firefight with

446
00:24:44,130 --> 00:24:47,838
alien-human type
whatever you want to call them.

447
00:24:48,005 --> 00:24:51,005
And, uh, I was
one of the survivors.

448
00:24:51,172 --> 00:24:55,338
66 Secret Service agents,
FBI, and the like,

449
00:24:55,505 --> 00:24:57,505
Black Berets,
died in that firefight.

450
00:24:57,672 --> 00:25:00,463
Basically, what had occurred

451
00:25:00,588 --> 00:25:04,338
was that we surprised a whole

452
00:25:04,547 --> 00:25:07,088
under-mountain base
of existing aliens.

453
00:25:08,713 --> 00:25:10,922
NARRATOR:
Is there really
a secret military base

454
00:25:11,088 --> 00:25:14,505
hidden deep in the mountains
of Dulce, New Mexico?

455
00:25:14,672 --> 00:25:18,797
One that is occupied
by extraterrestrial beings?

456
00:25:18,963 --> 00:25:22,672
While the idea might sound
like science fiction,

457
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,130
a similar base exists
within Cheyenne Mountain

458
00:25:26,255 --> 00:25:28,838
outside Colorado Springs.

459
00:25:30,088 --> 00:25:32,172
This is a mountain
that has been hollowed out

460
00:25:32,338 --> 00:25:33,630
by the U.S. military.

461
00:25:33,797 --> 00:25:36,172
It's the NORAD central command.

462
00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:38,963
But, in Dulce, New Mexico,

463
00:25:39,130 --> 00:25:41,297
the U.S. government is saying
that there's nothing there,

464
00:25:41,422 --> 00:25:42,880
they have no
military base there,

465
00:25:43,047 --> 00:25:44,755
and yet,

466
00:25:44,922 --> 00:25:47,547
people who live there say there
is something going on here.

467
00:25:47,672 --> 00:25:51,172
And so, perhaps, at Dulce,
one day they will admit,

468
00:25:51,338 --> 00:25:53,005
yes, we were
doing something there.

469
00:25:58,547 --> 00:26:01,713
it makes sense
h,

470
00:26:01,922 --> 00:26:05,672
that they would be hiding out in
remote and isolated locations.

471
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,005
And one of the most
compelling places

472
00:26:08,172 --> 00:26:10,922
we've examined on
Ancient Aliens is a spot

473
00:26:11,088 --> 00:26:14,838
in Alaska that is concealed
deep underground.

474
00:26:15,047 --> 00:26:17,297
According to
government whistleblowers,

475
00:26:17,505 --> 00:26:20,005
it is the site
of an ancient structure

476
00:26:20,130 --> 00:26:23,672
that was built with
extraterrestrial technology.

477
00:26:24,755 --> 00:26:26,922
Number three on our countdown

478
00:26:27,130 --> 00:26:30,088
of the top ten
hidden alien bases:

479
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:33,172
the Dark Pyramid of Alaska.

480
00:26:37,422 --> 00:26:39,838
NARRATOR:
The largest of all U.S. states.

481
00:26:40,005 --> 00:26:42,672
It's home to the nation's
highest peak,

482
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,797
its biggest national park,

483
00:26:44,963 --> 00:26:48,922
and more coastline
than all other states combined.

484
00:26:49,047 --> 00:26:51,505
For ancient astronaut theorists,

485
00:26:51,713 --> 00:26:54,338
the dense uninhabited
wilderness of Alaska

486
00:26:54,547 --> 00:26:57,088
conceals a multitude
of mysteries,

487
00:26:57,213 --> 00:27:01,297
and perhaps
an extraterrestrial presence.

488
00:27:02,505 --> 00:27:04,172
ANDREW COLLINS:
Within this area,

489
00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:07,672
incredible amount
of weird things take place.

490
00:27:07,838 --> 00:27:09,755
We have paranormal activity,

491
00:27:09,922 --> 00:27:11,963
the appearance
of strange cryptids

492
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,505
and other monsters
of time and space,

493
00:27:14,588 --> 00:27:19,505
as well as
the manifestation of UFOs

494
00:27:19,713 --> 00:27:21,755
and mysterious lights.

495
00:27:24,963 --> 00:27:27,838
NARRATOR:
Within this region
of anomalous activity

496
00:27:28,005 --> 00:27:31,463
stands Mount Hayes,
one of Alaska's tallest peaks

497
00:27:31,672 --> 00:27:34,338
and a place where UFO sightings

498
00:27:34,505 --> 00:27:36,922
are reported
with great frequency.

499
00:27:37,047 --> 00:27:41,338
Many people have seen UFOs,
flying saucers, strange lights,

500
00:27:41,547 --> 00:27:43,630
flying in and around
Mount Hayes.

501
00:27:43,797 --> 00:27:47,088
Now there's no road
that can go up there.

502
00:27:47,255 --> 00:27:50,463
The only way to get
to Mount Hayes is to actually

503
00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:53,338
fly there,
which most people don't do.

504
00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:56,505
So, what are these craft that
are flying around Mount Hayes?

505
00:27:56,672 --> 00:28:00,005
NARRATOR:
For decades,
eyewitness testimony

506
00:28:00,172 --> 00:28:02,797
was the only evidence
to support the notion

507
00:28:02,963 --> 00:28:06,338
that Mount Hayes
was a UFO hotspot.

508
00:28:06,547 --> 00:28:11,422
But in 1995,
declassified CIA documents

509
00:28:11,588 --> 00:28:14,047
revealed that Mount Hayes
was the focus

510
00:28:14,213 --> 00:28:18,755
of a top secret government
project called "Stargate."

511
00:28:19,797 --> 00:28:22,713
NEWMAN:
Researchers were looking
through CIA documents,

512
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,672
and they found evidence of a
project underneath Mount Hayes.

513
00:28:27,797 --> 00:28:30,463
And they say they saw,
written in these records,

514
00:28:30,588 --> 00:28:34,963
that it was actually an alien
underground base in this area.

515
00:28:36,130 --> 00:28:40,172
NARRATOR:
Could there be a hidden
extraterrestrial base in Alaska?

516
00:28:40,297 --> 00:28:45,130
While the idea
sounds farfetched, in 1992,

517
00:28:45,255 --> 00:28:49,297
U.S. geologists detected
a mysterious pyramidal object

518
00:28:49,463 --> 00:28:52,088
underneath Mount Denali.

519
00:28:53,713 --> 00:28:55,755
Seismic instruments revealed

520
00:28:55,922 --> 00:28:59,588
that the top of the
550-foot-tall pyramidal object

521
00:28:59,713 --> 00:29:02,755
lies 150 feet below ground

522
00:29:02,922 --> 00:29:07,297
and just 130 miles southwest
of Mount Hayes.

523
00:29:07,463 --> 00:29:11,838
Many researchers believe
it is an artificial structure,

524
00:29:11,963 --> 00:29:15,338
which has become known
as the "Dark Pyramid."

525
00:29:16,922 --> 00:29:20,088
The Dark Pyramid is this
massive pyramidal structure

526
00:29:20,255 --> 00:29:22,172
under Mount Denali,

527
00:29:22,338 --> 00:29:24,755
which is said
to be twice the size

528
00:29:24,963 --> 00:29:30,130
of the Great Pyramid of Giza
and made of black stone.

529
00:29:30,213 --> 00:29:33,297
NARRATOR:
Investigative journalist
Linda Moulton Howe

530
00:29:33,463 --> 00:29:36,255
has spent years researching
the Dark Pyramid

531
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:38,838
and has interviewed
a number of people

532
00:29:38,963 --> 00:29:40,630
who claim to have information

533
00:29:40,797 --> 00:29:43,172
about the mysterious
underground structure,

534
00:29:43,380 --> 00:29:46,755
including one man
who claims his father

535
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,838
has actually been inside
the Dark Pyramid.

536
00:29:50,005 --> 00:29:53,588
He said that his, uh, father was

537
00:29:53,713 --> 00:29:56,088
working for Western Electric and

538
00:29:56,255 --> 00:30:01,005
ended up as a very skilled
electronic engineer

539
00:30:01,213 --> 00:30:04,505
being asked to go to a location

540
00:30:04,588 --> 00:30:08,130
west of what was Mount Denali.

541
00:30:08,297 --> 00:30:11,630
His father told him that there
was a big freight elevator

542
00:30:11,838 --> 00:30:13,630
that was sticking up
out of the ground,

543
00:30:13,838 --> 00:30:16,005
and, when you got to the bottom,

544
00:30:16,172 --> 00:30:21,838
opened up into full-bore room,

545
00:30:21,922 --> 00:30:24,255
work, offices.

546
00:30:25,713 --> 00:30:29,880
The father is introduced
to the fact

547
00:30:30,047 --> 00:30:34,213
that they are at
the bottom of a pyramid.

548
00:30:34,380 --> 00:30:37,505
And that, at each
of the three corners,

549
00:30:37,630 --> 00:30:42,088
they had these offices that were
actually monitoring energy.

550
00:30:43,463 --> 00:30:47,380
And the father tells the son
who got in touch with me,

551
00:30:47,505 --> 00:30:51,088
"We are measuring energy

552
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:53,547
"coming out of this pyramid

553
00:30:53,755 --> 00:30:57,213
"that is enough

554
00:30:57,380 --> 00:31:02,047
to power
the entire country of Canada."

555
00:31:02,172 --> 00:31:04,922
CHILDRESS:
The stories of the Dark Pyramid
are pretty interesting,

556
00:31:05,047 --> 00:31:08,130
and you've got to wonder
if there is not some kind of

557
00:31:08,338 --> 00:31:11,422
powerplant
that's there underground

558
00:31:11,588 --> 00:31:14,838
in the middle of Alaska,
and if this dark pyramid

559
00:31:15,047 --> 00:31:19,505
isn't some kind of
extraterrestrial base.

560
00:31:25,213 --> 00:31:27,172
e

561
00:31:27,380 --> 00:31:30,422
to one of the most mysterious
places on Earth.

562
00:31:30,547 --> 00:31:33,172
It's a mountain that is said
to have been inhabited

563
00:31:33,338 --> 00:31:36,505
by otherworldly beings
for thousands of years

564
00:31:36,713 --> 00:31:39,255
and a place where UFOs
are witnessed

565
00:31:39,380 --> 00:31:42,088
on a regular basis
to this very day.

566
00:31:42,255 --> 00:31:44,880
Number two on our countdown

567
00:31:45,047 --> 00:31:50,422
of the top ten hidden
alien bases: Mount Shasta.

568
00:31:55,005 --> 00:31:57,005
NARRATOR:
Northern California.

569
00:31:58,047 --> 00:32:00,922
Towering over the landscape,
at an elevation

570
00:32:01,088 --> 00:32:05,463
of more than 14,000 feet
stands Mount Shasta.

571
00:32:06,547 --> 00:32:09,172
This rugged peak has been
the location

572
00:32:09,338 --> 00:32:13,047
of strange and incredible
stories for thousands of years.

573
00:32:15,047 --> 00:32:18,713
Mount Shasta is where there are
multiple strange events

574
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,338
taking place.

575
00:32:21,505 --> 00:32:23,838
UFO sightings,

576
00:32:24,005 --> 00:32:28,963
paranormal events,
strange disappearances...

577
00:32:30,922 --> 00:32:32,797
...that go back
throughout history.

578
00:32:32,963 --> 00:32:34,838
And indeed,
one can look to certain

579
00:32:35,047 --> 00:32:39,297
Native American legends,
for example,

580
00:32:39,422 --> 00:32:42,963
to say that Mount Shasta
has always

581
00:32:43,088 --> 00:32:46,630
been associated
with strange goings on.

582
00:32:47,755 --> 00:32:51,380
NARRATOR:
Local Indigenous tribes,
such as the Shasta,

583
00:32:51,505 --> 00:32:55,297
Wintu, Modoc,
and Karuk have inhabited

584
00:32:55,463 --> 00:32:58,338
the area for
more than 12 centuries.

585
00:32:59,380 --> 00:33:02,880
Each revere Mount Shasta
as a place where sky beings

586
00:33:03,047 --> 00:33:06,422
landed on the Earth
and created civilization.

587
00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:11,672
The local people believe
that in ancient times,

588
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,755
the great Sky Chief Skell
came down from the sky to live

589
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,588
in Shasta, and has been there
ever since and protects it.

590
00:33:21,713 --> 00:33:23,630
NARRATOR:
The people who live
near Mount Shasta

591
00:33:23,797 --> 00:33:29,088
have been encountering UFOs
for more than a hundred years.

592
00:33:29,255 --> 00:33:31,672
Almost everyone who lives there

593
00:33:31,838 --> 00:33:33,755
has-has seen something unusual.

594
00:33:35,047 --> 00:33:37,755
One of the most remarkable
UFO sightings

595
00:33:37,922 --> 00:33:40,005
I've heard of,
it took place in 2008.

596
00:33:40,172 --> 00:33:42,755
Witnesses in the town of McCloud

597
00:33:42,963 --> 00:33:45,338
saw a UFO that
looked like a giant

598
00:33:45,505 --> 00:33:51,047
glowing jellyfish
move over the town and then

599
00:33:51,213 --> 00:33:53,380
fly off into the distance.

600
00:33:54,838 --> 00:33:57,505
JACK THOM:
I was driving back
from Klamath Falls,

601
00:33:57,672 --> 00:34:01,963
eh, around 7:00, 6:30-7:00 in
the evening in the summertime.

602
00:34:02,922 --> 00:34:05,130
All of a sudden I looked up
on the mountain and I seen

603
00:34:05,338 --> 00:34:10,088
the whole mountain
toward Yreka side open up.

604
00:34:11,172 --> 00:34:13,380
And then this big ship came
and sat there

605
00:34:13,505 --> 00:34:15,297
and hovered for a minute
and then went right in.

606
00:34:15,380 --> 00:34:17,005
And next thing you know,
the mountain closed,

607
00:34:17,213 --> 00:34:20,505
and I was like,
"What is going on?"

608
00:34:21,463 --> 00:34:24,005
I never let things
like that bother me now.

609
00:34:24,213 --> 00:34:25,838
I've seen things
like that all the time.

610
00:34:27,547 --> 00:34:29,380
REDFERN: Over the years,
there have been a number

611
00:34:29,588 --> 00:34:31,838
of very significant
UFO sightings

612
00:34:32,047 --> 00:34:33,505
around Mount Shasta.

613
00:34:34,713 --> 00:34:38,755
And you have to wonder
why is that the case?

614
00:34:38,922 --> 00:34:41,588
I don't think
we can rule out the idea

615
00:34:41,755 --> 00:34:44,255
of some sort of permanent
presence buried deep

616
00:34:44,422 --> 00:34:47,005
within Mount Shasta itself.

617
00:34:48,047 --> 00:34:52,505
NARRATOR:
Could alien beings really be
living inside Mount Shasta?

618
00:34:53,797 --> 00:34:58,672
In November 2020, author
and researcher William Henry,

619
00:34:58,797 --> 00:35:01,755
along with local
historian Dustin Naef,

620
00:35:01,963 --> 00:35:04,005
set out to explore Pluto's Cave

621
00:35:04,172 --> 00:35:06,005
on the slopes of Mount Shasta.

622
00:35:06,213 --> 00:35:08,172
HENRY:
That is just spectacular.

623
00:35:08,297 --> 00:35:10,172
NARRATOR:
It is here where numerous

624
00:35:10,338 --> 00:35:13,963
eyewitnesses claim to have
encountered mysterious beings

625
00:35:14,088 --> 00:35:16,338
emerging from inside
the mountain.

626
00:35:17,505 --> 00:35:20,338
NAEF:
There's a really big subculture
here in Mount Shasta that has

627
00:35:20,547 --> 00:35:24,338
always believed that these
caves and tunnels contain

628
00:35:24,547 --> 00:35:28,172
a civilization full of people
just like you and I.

629
00:35:28,380 --> 00:35:31,172
And they come back and forth
through portals

630
00:35:31,338 --> 00:35:32,338
hidden in these caves.

631
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:34,630
If you look on the USGS charts,

632
00:35:34,797 --> 00:35:37,755
there's an immense
negative magnetic anomaly

633
00:35:37,922 --> 00:35:39,463
that surrounds Mount Shasta.

634
00:35:39,547 --> 00:35:41,213
HENRY: That's the lay line
they describe here, right?

635
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:44,463
NAEF: Yeah, a lot of psychic and
paranormal phenomena actually

636
00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:47,547
occurs in places
that have magnetic anomalies.

637
00:35:47,755 --> 00:35:50,630
And used as a...
as a portal between

638
00:35:50,797 --> 00:35:52,963
the inner Earth realm
and the stars?

639
00:35:53,088 --> 00:35:54,547
Yeah.

640
00:35:54,713 --> 00:35:56,797
Anything capable
of generating, you know,

641
00:35:56,963 --> 00:36:00,838
energy like that could
be conceptualized as a portal.

642
00:36:00,922 --> 00:36:04,797
I've had people actually contact
me and tell me they've seen

643
00:36:04,963 --> 00:36:08,047
people in this very cave
walk right into a wall

644
00:36:08,213 --> 00:36:10,713
-and vanish.
-Wow.

645
00:36:12,255 --> 00:36:15,338
COLLINS:
For many hundreds of years,
Mount Shasta has been known

646
00:36:15,505 --> 00:36:18,755
for entities that manifest
out of the mountain.

647
00:36:18,963 --> 00:36:22,505
They appear, they travel
and then they disappear.

648
00:36:22,672 --> 00:36:25,005
And this would seem to have led

649
00:36:25,213 --> 00:36:28,797
to the belief that there
might be some kind of

650
00:36:28,963 --> 00:36:33,630
secret alien base actually
deep within that mountain.

651
00:36:35,047 --> 00:36:38,505
There's only one hidden
alien base left on our list,

652
00:36:38,713 --> 00:36:40,172
and you won't want to miss it.

653
00:36:40,338 --> 00:36:43,963
Because this one is
truly out of this world.

654
00:36:47,713 --> 00:36:50,505
end,

655
00:36:50,672 --> 00:36:54,338
and at the top of our list is
a location that is so remote,

656
00:36:54,547 --> 00:36:56,672
it's not on our planet at all.

657
00:36:56,838 --> 00:36:58,672
Number one on our list

658
00:36:58,797 --> 00:37:03,797
of the top ten hidden
alien bases: the Moon.

659
00:37:10,838 --> 00:37:14,922
NARRATOR:
Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad
and Alan Bean make history

660
00:37:15,088 --> 00:37:19,672
by becoming the third and fourth
person to land on the Moon.

661
00:37:20,713 --> 00:37:24,463
After they return to
the command module, they detach

662
00:37:24,588 --> 00:37:28,588
the lunar module and crash it
into the Moon's surface.

663
00:37:29,547 --> 00:37:32,672
Upon impact, something
very unexpected happens.

664
00:37:32,797 --> 00:37:36,588
The Moon reverberates
for more than an hour.

665
00:37:36,713 --> 00:37:39,588
WALTER CUNNINGHMAN:
With Apollo 12, people refer

666
00:37:39,713 --> 00:37:41,963
to a crash.
It wasn't really a crash.

667
00:37:42,088 --> 00:37:44,338
It was an aimed de-orbit of

668
00:37:44,547 --> 00:37:48,088
the rocket used
to lift off the lunar module.

669
00:37:48,255 --> 00:37:51,172
And the crew separated
the launch vehicle,

670
00:37:51,380 --> 00:37:54,047
and crashed it back
into the ground

671
00:37:54,213 --> 00:37:56,547
right close to where
they'd had a seismograph

672
00:37:56,755 --> 00:37:58,922
that they had installed
down there.

673
00:37:59,963 --> 00:38:03,422
Well, it vibrated,
so it was kind of an early clue

674
00:38:03,547 --> 00:38:06,213
as to how solid was the surface
of the Moon.

675
00:38:06,380 --> 00:38:08,213
HENRY:
What was amazing

676
00:38:08,380 --> 00:38:11,005
about this is that,
suddenly, the Moon began

677
00:38:11,130 --> 00:38:13,213
to ring like a bell,

678
00:38:13,422 --> 00:38:16,422
and did so for nearly an hour.

679
00:38:16,588 --> 00:38:19,505
Dr. Wernher von Braun,
who was then the head of NASA,

680
00:38:19,672 --> 00:38:21,630
decided that for Apollo 13,

681
00:38:21,713 --> 00:38:25,297
they were going to intentionally
crash a heavier portion

682
00:38:25,422 --> 00:38:28,172
of the rocket
into the lunar surface.

683
00:38:28,338 --> 00:38:30,130
And when they did this,

684
00:38:30,297 --> 00:38:33,172
the Moon rang
like a gong this time,

685
00:38:33,380 --> 00:38:35,213
for over three hours

686
00:38:35,380 --> 00:38:38,630
and to a depth of over 20 miles.

687
00:38:39,505 --> 00:38:41,672
This was not expected,

688
00:38:41,838 --> 00:38:44,422
and it still puzzles a lot
of scientists today.

689
00:38:44,588 --> 00:38:48,505
The inference is
that the Moon must be hollow

690
00:38:48,713 --> 00:38:52,088
because the Moon is made,
predominantly on the surface,

691
00:38:52,255 --> 00:38:54,505
of a kind of rock
called "basalt."

692
00:38:54,630 --> 00:38:57,172
Although
it's a very lightweight rock,

693
00:38:57,338 --> 00:39:00,713
it also absorbs impact
extremely well.

694
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,130
And so, if the whole of the Moon
was made of that kind of rock,

695
00:39:05,338 --> 00:39:08,130
you wouldn't expect it
to reverberate

696
00:39:08,297 --> 00:39:10,755
when a large impact took place.

697
00:39:10,963 --> 00:39:13,422
The reason
that this is played down is

698
00:39:13,588 --> 00:39:16,672
because the idea
of the Moon being hollow,

699
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,463
uh, just contradicts
what we know about physics.

700
00:39:21,505 --> 00:39:24,213
NARRATOR:
In his 1966 book,

701
00:39:24,380 --> 00:39:26,338
Intelligent Life
in the Universe,

702
00:39:26,463 --> 00:39:28,630
renowned scientist
and astronomer

703
00:39:28,797 --> 00:39:31,922
Carl Sagan,
defined modern scholarship

704
00:39:32,088 --> 00:39:34,380
regarding the composition
of celestial bodies

705
00:39:34,547 --> 00:39:36,172
throughout the cosmos.

706
00:39:36,338 --> 00:39:37,838
TSOUKALOS:
Carl Sagan suggested

707
00:39:38,005 --> 00:39:42,880
that a natural satellite
cannot be a hollow object.

708
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:45,547
This is very odd,

709
00:39:45,713 --> 00:39:47,963
because why would
the Moon be vibrating

710
00:39:48,130 --> 00:39:51,338
unless it's a hollow object?

711
00:39:51,463 --> 00:39:54,130
That would suggest
it's artificial.

712
00:39:55,172 --> 00:39:58,380
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
the Moon is not only hollow,

713
00:39:58,547 --> 00:40:01,338
but an artificial structure?

714
00:40:01,505 --> 00:40:04,422
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

715
00:40:04,588 --> 00:40:08,463
and point to a sensational paper
published in 1970

716
00:40:08,672 --> 00:40:11,130
by Soviet scientists
Mikhail Vasin

717
00:40:11,297 --> 00:40:13,422
and Alexander Shcherbakov.

718
00:40:14,463 --> 00:40:16,755
In it, the scientists propose

719
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,005
that the Moon
is likely a creation

720
00:40:19,172 --> 00:40:20,838
of alien intelligence

721
00:40:21,005 --> 00:40:24,505
that was brought to Earth
in the remote past.

722
00:40:24,713 --> 00:40:29,047
It would seem to be
that our Moon is some kind

723
00:40:29,255 --> 00:40:32,338
of gigantic,
artificial spaceship

724
00:40:32,505 --> 00:40:35,505
that is here
to monitor our planet.

725
00:40:35,672 --> 00:40:37,422
And it only makes sense

726
00:40:37,547 --> 00:40:41,088
that if extraterrestrials
are coming to the Earth,

727
00:40:41,255 --> 00:40:43,297
that they would be
using the Moon

728
00:40:43,422 --> 00:40:46,922
as a kind of forward base
for our planet.

729
00:40:47,088 --> 00:40:48,797
It's perfect for observing

730
00:40:48,963 --> 00:40:51,463
and coming to
and from planet Earth

731
00:40:51,630 --> 00:40:55,630
and going to other planets
or solar systems.

732
00:40:57,088 --> 00:41:01,422
Is the Moon really
a giant alien base?

733
00:41:01,588 --> 00:41:03,505
It sounds crazy,

734
00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:05,172
but when you look
at all the evidence,

735
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:06,880
it's an intriguing theory.

736
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,838
And as far
as I'm concerned, each one

737
00:41:10,047 --> 00:41:13,672
of the locations on our list
deserves a closer look,

738
00:41:13,797 --> 00:41:16,838
because whether they're high
in the mountains,

739
00:41:17,047 --> 00:41:18,463
deep underwater,

740
00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:21,130
or even orbiting the planet,

741
00:41:21,297 --> 00:41:25,005
there is incredible evidence
that Earth is home

742
00:41:25,213 --> 00:41:29,505
to extraterrestrial outposts
that are hiding in plain sight.
