NARRATOR: There is a line that runs around the world,
and, all along it,
strange things are witnessed.
WILLIAM HENRY: The 37th parallel is
ground zero for some of the strangest phenomena
that is happening in our world at this time.
NARRATOR: There have been countless UFO sightings...
NICK POPE: There is report after report
of structured craft, disc shapes,
strange colored lights.
NARRATOR: ...hundreds of mysterious animal mutilations...
We've been collecting pictures and data of unexplained deaths.
POPE: How many deaths have there been?
TOM MILLER: 16 cows.
NARRATOR: ...and even stories
of encounters in the distant past.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: The kachinas descended from the sky
at the Black Mesa,
which just happens to be
around the 37th parallel.
NARRATOR: Could there be something about the 37th parallel
that is attracting visitors from other worlds?
POPE: Plotting out these events on a map,
it's a sort of UFO superhighway.
NARRATOR: There is a doorway
in the universe.
Beyond it is the promise of truth.
It demands we question everything
we have ever been taught.
The evidence is all around us.
The future is right before our eyes.
We are not alone.
We have never been alone.
Trinidad, Colorado.
August 22, 2011.
At 11:46 p.m.,
this small town is rocked by a 5.3-magnitude earthquake,
the most powerful to hit Colorado in more than a century.
A little over 12 hours later,
an even more violent 5.8-magnitude earthquake
strikes the area of Piedmont, Virginia.
While the unlikely epicenters of these two seismic events
are 1,400 miles apart from each other,
they both occur along the same line of latitude,
the 37th parallel.
This detail captures the attention
of former sheriff's deputy and UFO researcher Chuck Zukowski
and sparks a revelation
regarding his research into unidentified aerial phenomena
and mysterious animal mutilations.
DANIEL ZETTERSTROM: The fact that this earthquake activity
lays along the 37th parallel
leads Chuck Zukowski
to look at trends and patterns in the data
that he'd been collecting over various investigations.
Chuck found that sightings and phenomena
such as cattle mutilations, various other things,
all lined up along this one line
that we refer to as the 37th latitude.
RYAN SPRAGUE: Chuck Zukowski, for many, many years,
had been taking down reports of all types of paranormal activity
that were happening both in Colorado
and all the way stretching to Virginia.
And Chuck actually has a sister who is also a UFO researcher.
So he called her up,
and they started to look at each of these points
of where all these different UFO and paranormal activity
were taking place.
NARRATOR: Zukowski's sister, Debbie Ziegelmeyer,
is the director of the Missouri branch of MUFON,
or the Mutual UFO Network.
Over the years,
the two have amassed data on thousands of UFO sightings.
In 2011,
my brother Chuck called me one evening
and we started pinpointing
the different locations on a map.
We have a lot of activity going on,
especially starting with my state of Missouri.
And then we started expanding farther out.
We noticed activity in Colorado.
Then we started spreading farther out.
It turned out that all but one event
was near the 37th parallel.
And we thought, "Well,
this is way bigger than what we thought."
NARRATOR: Like all lines of latitude,
the 37th parallel is just 69 miles wide.
So Zukowski and Ziegelmeyer found it extraordinary
that nearly every case they had documented
happened either on or very near this line.
Chuck Zukowski is a highly respected UFO investigator,
uh, with a lot of "boots on the ground" experience.
As is his sister Debbie.
And they presented to the world the idea
that you could draw a straight line
linking all these different incidents at different times--
UFO sightings, abductions,
cattle mutilations, paranormal phenomena.
Of course, it was a real attention-getter.
So the 37th parallel has become known
as a sort of UFO superhighway.
NARRATOR: Could a so-called UFO superhighway
really exist along the 37th parallel?
For UFO researchers,
the evidence is highly compelling.
Because among the events that Zukowski and Ziegelmeyer cite
are some of the most significant UFO reports on record,
including one of the only encounters
in which a witness lost his life.
At Clinton County Army Air Field,
eyewitnesses report seeing a circular object in the sky
that is described as a "flaming red cone
trailing a gaseous green mist."
Alarmed by the sightings,
the Army instructs a squad of airborne F-51D Mustangs
under the command of Captain Thomas Mantell to investigate.
Four fighters led by Captain Mantell
were dispatched to try to follow or intercept this object.
The object was massive.
It was about 300 feet in diameter
and traveling at about 500 miles per hour.
SPRAGUE: When they attempted to intercept this object, it was too fast.
And it was also climbing in altitude.
ZETTERSTROM: Everyone except Mantell stopped ascending at a certain point
due to problems with oxygen.
Mantell pushed his plane,
climbing higher and higher towards the object.
However, radio contact with Mantell was lost.
NARRATOR: According to reports,
as Mantell pursued the UFO,
he lost control of the plane and crashed into the ground.
The report was that he went up too high.
At 25,000 feet,
he lost oxygen.
They believe that he passed out
and crashed into the ground.
The Mantell incident is an important one,
and that is because it involves a UFO fatality.
And it was because of this UFO fatality
that the Air Force began Project Blue Book
to look into these UFO incidents.
NARRATOR: The Mantell incident occurred over a stretch of many miles,
mostly along the 37th parallel.
With official military involvement,
multiple witnesses and even a fatality,
the Mantell incident is considered
one of the most compelling UFO encounters ever recorded.
The mystery of the 37th parallel also includes
a UFO incident that occurred 25 years later
and lasted for months.
One of the most fascinating areas
along the 37-degree parallel line is Piedmont, Missouri.
The sightings actually started in 1973.
But the one main sighting that people began focusing on
happened on February 21, to be exact.
Coach Reggie Bones was at a basketball game with his team.
As they were coming back home at about 8:30 at night,
they saw strange lights in the distance.
And they were colored lights flashing.
They saw that the lights weren't just a single pillar in the sky
but were distinct colored lights--
red, green, amber and white.
Other residents in the area also saw the lights.
NARRATOR: The Mantell incident and the Piedmont sightings
are just two of hundreds of UFO encounters
that Zukowski and Ziegelmeyer have documented
along the 37th parallel.
Also found along this latitude is Cape Girardeau, Missouri,
where a UFO crash was reported as early as 1941.
And one of the most famous UFO incidents on record,
the 1947 Roswell crash,
occurred just over 100 miles south of this line.
TSOUKALOS: It's pretty amazing to think
that two of the biggest UFO events
that essentially kicked off the modern ufology field,
Roswell and Cape Girardeau,
happened to be on or around the 37th parallel.
So you have to wonder why.
Is it some sort of a supernatural force?
Or could it be something to do with extraterrestrials?
NARRATOR: Is there a reason why so many UFO incidents
seem to occur along a particular line of latitude?
And if so, what could it be?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining another mysterious phenomenon
that's frequently reported at sites located
on the 37th parallel...
...animal mutilations.
NARRATOR: Since 1967,
an estimated 50,000 bizarre animal mutilations
have been reported in the United States...
...and many within just a few miles of the 37th latitude.
Chuck Zukowski has investigated dozens
of these mysterious occurrences,
including an incident at the Miller ranch
in Trinidad, Colorado,
where no less than 16 cattle mutilations
have been discovered since the mid-1990s.
POPE: The Miller ranch
is a pretty amazing place.
There's a lot going on there.
And it's not just the cattle mutilations,
which... disturbing enough,
but these electromagnetic anomalies,
sightings of UFOs and orbs,
power fluctuations.
There-there's a lot to take in, and a genuine mystery there.
NARRATOR: In 2015,
Zukowski examined the corpse of a mutilated cow
at the Miller ranch, and observed injuries
consistent with being dropped from a significant height.
The cow also had organs removed
and what looked like surgical incisions
consistent with other cattle mutilation cases.
And in 2020,
the Millers discovered another mutilated cow
in almost the exact same condition.
-Hi, there. Hi. -SALLY MILLER: Hello.
NARRATOR: UFO researchers Dr. Travis Taylor
and Nick Pope visit Tom and Sally Miller
to learn more about the disturbing events
that have occurred on their ranch,
and a potential connection to the 37th parallel.
So, you guys have, uh, had some, um, uh, issues with your cattle?
-Could you tell us some of, some of this? -SALLY: We have.
TOM: Yeah, we've had, uh,
probably 16 head of cattle mutilated already.
-Since when? -We started counting in 1996.
So, 16 since 1996?
-Yeah. Uh-huh. -Wow, that's pretty significant.
POPE: And I understand you've, uh,
been compiling a lot of information about this
in a dossier of evidence.
We have. We have taken multiple pictures.
Can we take a look?
We've got them in the back here.
NARRATOR: Nick and Travis are anxious
to see the photographs the Millers have taken
of the mysterious events that have occurred on their ranch
over the past two decades.
TAYLOR: So, what have you got?
SALLY: These are all very typical of what we find.
The ear is removed and the eye is removed.
-TAYLOR: Is it just one eye and just one ear? -SALLY: Usually.
You can see that the mouth is clear-cut across.
A predator would tear.
-TAYLOR: Sure. And you... -There are no tears
on any of these animals.
Were there any claw marks or teeth marks on the bones?
Because you'd s-- typically see that with a predator.
None. None.
TAYLOR: I have to ask, have you ever had a, uh, veterinarian, uh,
come in and look at these and maybe do an autopsy,
-or anything like that? -TOM: Well, actually,
one time, we had a-a small calf that was mutilated,
and they took it to, uh, Fort Collins.
-Hmm. -To a lab up there.
TOM: They couldn't believe
the items that were missing.
It was the heart, the lungs, the liver.
And they had just a little bitty hole out of the back end.
And that's where they removed all of these items.
Well, did they say it looked like they had used scalpels
or, uh, other surgical instruments or what?
-They said it was laser-cut. -TAYLOR: Laser-cut?
POPE: You know, all these things
tend to be interconnected.
Have there been other strange phenomena of any kind
-in this area? -SALLY: We have seen lights
that have come up out of the river and have taken off.
POPE: Very sudden, or...
-a-and what kind of speed? -TOM: Real fast.
In an instant, they were gone.
-Wow. -SALLY: And there is another phenomenon.
We have seen, um, unexplained lights,
orbs on our windows.
TAYLOR: You've actually seen them, like,
close to your house here?
Yeah, actually on the window.
-Can we go see that? -Yeah. -SALLY: Sure.
I'll take you over there and show it to you.
TAYLOR: Yeah, love to see it.
-Thank you. -TOM: Okay.
It's, uh, right at this window.
Right here.
Really?
Yeah, uh, I was sleeping in there.
I woke up and turned over and there were two red orbs.
One right here and one right here.
Then the bed just started just vibrating like that.
And at the same time, I had a feeling
like goosebumps on your arm.
Only it went all the way across my body, real slow,
until it got to the other side.
And then the shaking stopped.
SALLY: And then morning came,
and he couldn't get up and couldn't walk.
Couldn't walk?
No. No, my leg was just...
it was just like, real stiff, like,
-like paralyzed or something. -Paralyzed. -TAYLOR: Really?
TOM: Uh, we went to a doctor,
and he put a steroid shot in there,
and the next morning, I was fine.
Any diagnosis?
-"Treat the symptom." -POPE (laughs): Right.
-That was it. -TAYLOR: Well, if you don't mind,
I've got a magnetic measurement system on my phone.
I'd like to take some measurements as we walk around
-and look, if that-that's all right. -SALLY: Sure.
Absolutely.
TAYLOR: This is really interesting.
I'm getting almost zero magnetic field.
Usually, wherever I go,
there's at least a measurable magnetic field.
And I probably could walk anywhere in-- on the planet,
and I'll measure typically, like, around 0.9 on this meter,
and I'm seeing, like, 0.1.
So, maybe...
Well, now, that's interesting.
If I step here, it comes back to normal and what I expect.
But look at-- why, if-- see if it co-- Yeah.
When I step back closer to the house,
it goes almost to zero again.
-Well, that's odd. -SALLY: Is it odd
because the house can block a reading?
-Oh, but if the magnet... -TAYLOR: Well, if it is... So let me walk this way
and see if it could be the building.
And nope.
When I walk to here, just to this distance,
it-it jumps back to normal.
So, there's something about
this spot right in front of the window.
POPE: So, right where those strange lights were.
Right outside this very window.
TAYLOR (voice-over): I'm not sure what would cause instruments to do
what we just saw.
Uh, to me, that's a very unusual anomaly.
And is it connected to the fact that Tom saw orbs
outside that window right at that spot?
That, we don't know.
I'd really like to go look at the last location
-you had a cattle mutilation. -TOM: Okay.
We can do that.
NARRATOR: Tom and Sally Miller
lead Nick and Travis across their 1,400-acre ranch
to the site where, less than a month ago,
they discovered what appears to be
the most recent victim of cattle mutilation.
TOM: That's it.
Oh, wow. Look at that.
POPE: Oh, my goodness.
TAYLOR: I wasn't expecting it to be like that.
That's something.
Look at this, how it looks...
That looks clean-cut all the way around right there.
POPE: It's like someone had said,
"Let's take the top off."
And it looks like it rolled up
-and was cauterized, too. -Yeah.
TAYLOR: Well, you don't see tears
like tooth marks or claw marks.
-That was cut by something. -Yeah.
TAYLOR: The ear looks like it was just,
like it was shaved off or something.
Yeah, and that's how most all of the mutilated cows are.
At least one ear is just shaved off like that.
The jaw is just like that.
The tongue is removed.
TAYLOR: So, that's certainly not something that said,
-"I'm hungry. I want to kill that thing and eat it," right? -POPE: No.
You know, I mean, that's not-- that looks more like
a science experiment.
I wonder,
did it walk over here and fall over?
Did it die on the spot?
TOM: You know what we can do,
if you want, we'll roll it over.
-All right, well, you guys... -And see if there's...
-You guys watch out. -...an impression underneath it.
-All right. You ready? -Yeah.
TAYLOR: So, all that's left of this thing is a shell.
But you know what's, uh, interesting is,
the bones aren't broken, but look at how flat.
-It's like it's pushed into the rib cage. -POPE: Mm.
TOM: I've had cows die naturally,
and they don't look that way on the other side.
POPE: It's like it was dropped.
That is so bizarre.
You know, how it was done
is completely unexplainable right now.
What would have done it, or who,
is completely unexplainable to me.
I think there is something really weird going on here
that we should try to figure out how to get--
get to the bottom of.
Thanks for showing us this, guys.
TOM: We really appreciate it.
NARRATOR: The Miller ranch is just one of many ranches
along the 37th parallel that experience
strange aerial phenomena,
electromagnetic anomalies and cattle mutilations.
Could the locations of these sites
reinforce the possibility of a so-called UFO superhighway?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest further evidence can be found
within the stories of the Native American tribes
who have occupied lands along this latitude for centuries,
and who tell stories of otherworldly beings
descending from the sky.
NARRATOR: Black Mesa.
The Native American Hopi Tribe
has called these peaks of the Colorado Plateau home
for more than 1,000 years.
High above the Arizona desert,
the Black Mesa encompasses more than 1.5 million acres,
with the northernmost portion
running directly along the 37th parallel.
According to the Hopi, this is where their star ancestors
descended from the heavens.
HENRY: The Hopi say that
after journeying through three worlds,
they emerged into the fourth world
at the Black Mesa, where they were met by Maasaw,
the caretaker of Earth, who told the Hopi
that they were to be stewards of the Earth
and that the Black Mesa was to be, literally,
the center of the universe for them.
NARRATOR: The Hopi commemorate Maasaw and other sky beings
with sacred figurines that are believed
to show their likeness, known as kachinas.
TSOUKALOS: The Hopi themselves speak that the kachinas descended
from the sky in physical form and imparted knowledge.
This knowledge, amongst other places,
happened at the Black Mesa,
which just happens to be
around the 37th parallel.
So you have to ask yourself the question,
could it be that physical extraterrestrials
descended from the sky?
And according to the Hopi, that's exactly what happened
in the form of their celestial teachers.
DOVER: Black Mesa is a location not only holy
to the Hopi people-- it's holy to the Navajos.
The Hopi are surrounded by Navajo.
Both tribes have said
that star people have come
to them in the past.
And you hear this from Eastern Navajos,
you hear it from Western Navajos,
Navajos out of Piñon,
and on the northern side,
on the southern side.
All of this is within that same swath
that is covered with that 37th parallel.
NARRATOR: Directly to the east of the Black Mesa is a site
sacred to the Apache tribe-- the Archuleta Mesa.
CHILDRESS: It's an important part
of The Jicarilla Apache Reservation.
And the Apaches themselves have had legends
for hundreds of years of UFO activity
and star people coming down.
RICHARD DOLAN: There's been a lot of strange activity there.
And within this area, there has always been
reports of unusual lights
flying around.
NARRATOR: Among the sites in the area that have frequent UFO sightings
is the town of Dulce, New Mexico,
a place that is also well-known
for mysterious animal mutilations.
DOLAN: Dulce, New Mexico, is a very interesting place.
It was the scene, in the 1970s,
of massive numbers of cattle mutilations that took place.
And, you know, you talk to the residents there,
which I did at one point, and, uh, I think
large numbers of people have experienced
what anyone would call UFO sightings.
NARRATOR: Dulce is rumored to be the location
of a secret subterranean military compound
known as the Dulce Air Force Base.
One man who claimed to have firsthand knowledge of this...
...was geologist Phil Schneider,
who said that in the late 1970s,
he was hired to work at the base
performing excavations
for underground chambers and passageways.
According to Schneider,
in the course of their duties,
he and his team had a harrowing encounter.
TEITEL: He says that he came across whole groups
of gray and reptilian aliens living under the military base.
He also said he found vats
containing humanoid
and non-humanoid bodies, suggesting
that these aliens were doing some kind of genetic experiments
in their underground lair.
JASON MARTELL: Phil Schneider has a very intricate tale
of an actual fight
between our forces and the aliens.
And Phil Schneider shows physical scars,
you know, from this altercation.
Part of what I'm going to tell you
is going to be very shocking.
NARRATOR: On May 8, 1995,
Schneider gave a presentation in Post Falls, Idaho,
detailing the deadly subterranean battle.
I was involved in 1979 in a horrendous firefight
with alien-human type-- whatever you want to call them--
and, uh, I was one of the survivors.
66 Secret Service agents,
FBI, and the like, black berets, died in that firefight.
Basically, what had occurred was
that we surprised a whole
under-mountain base of existing aliens.
NARRATOR: While Phil Schneider's story has never been confirmed
by the government,
many who have investigated this area
of the American southwest don't rule it out.
DOVER: I personally investigated
hundreds of cases along the... this 37th parallel.
And part of the Navajo Nation resides right near that area,
and we as a department officially investigated
these craft going into volcanic vents,
uh, cinder hills, uh, basalt rock,
then disappearing in there.
We don't have an explanation for it.
NARRATOR: Could extraterrestrials really be hiding
underground along the 37th parallel?
And if so, why?
Some researchers believe the answer can be found
in the geological makeup of the Earth itself
and the possibility that certain areas generate
massive amounts of energy.
A massive 6.9-magnitude earthquake strikes the region,
causing six billion dollars' worth of damage
and killing 63 people.
Its epicenter is Loma Prieta Peak
in the Santa Cruz mountains, directly on the 37th parallel.
And, in fact, earthquakes are what first drew
researcher Chuck Zukowski's attention
to the 37th parallel in 2011--
one in Colorado and one in Virginia
that occurred just 12 hours apart.
One of the most important aspects
of the 37th parallel
is the fact that it corresponds
with a historical earthquake zone
that runs all the way
from California in the West to Virginia in the East.
And you could overlay that geological map
with UFO incidents
and cattle mutilations along the same line.
All of these could be the product
of this very intense geology
associated with the 37th parallel.
It is not solely, of course,
in the United States.
It embraces the entire world.
In some of these locations,
there are a lot of, uh, deposits
of granite and quartz that are piezoelectric.
Quartz crystals have a distribution
of negative charges on one side
and positive charges on the other.
If you squeeze that,
you can actually get an electrical current
to flow through that.
This is, uh, called, the piezoelectric effect,
and it occurs sometimes when tectonic plates shift,
or earthquakes happen.
When you have earthquake activity,
you could create
huge electromagnetic fields from that.
Could there be other phenomena occurring
while this is going on?
HENRY: Perhaps ETs can look at a site
and see what is invisible to us.
And manipulate whatever energy
or resources are located
at that hotspot.
What they could be doing along the UFO superhighway
is accessing resources that
we can't even comprehend at this moment.
There's been quite a lot
of earthquake activity along the 37th parallel.
And there's a related theory that if this is
actually extraterrestrial UFO superhighway,
that they would be able to use those Earth energies
as a sort of power source.
NARRATOR: Could the seismic activity
that occurs along the 37th parallel
produce a piezoelectric effect
that otherworldly visitors are able to utilize?
Some researchers suggest the energy generated
on this line may even facilitate the opening of portals
through space and time,
and point to ancient spiral petroglyphs
found at Skinwalker Ranch
just north of the 37th parallel.
According to the local Ute and Navajo tribes,
this art illustrates their oral traditions
of gateways that link them to other realities.
DOVER: Where Skinwalker Ranch is,
there are these spiral symbols
that were carved into the rock
and are a symbol of migration.
And, uh, we've just taken
a modern interpretation
of that migration symbol
and said, "What if it's indicating a portal
into another dimension?"
In Navajo culture,
there is what they call a emergence story.
They say that they came through
what they described as a hole in the sky.
So these dimensional gates appear
in our traditional history.
It's supported by other Indian tribes
that have similar stories of coming to this land.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the geology of the Earth
along the 37th parallel
creates some kind of exotic energy
that can open gateways to other points in the universe?
And also act as a source of power
for extraterrestrial vehicles?
According to some researchers, whatever the truth may be,
one thing is clear--
the existence
of a UFO superhighway is well known
to the United States government.
NARRATOR: Washington, D.C.
The United States capital lies just north
of the 37th parallel.
And on Saturday, July 19, 1952,
it was the site of a major UFO event.
At 11:40 p.m.,
air traffic controllers at Washington National Airport
and Andrews Air Force Base detected seven
unidentified flying objects on their radar screens.
There were multiple witnesses to UFO sightings
over Washington, D.C.
At the time this was happening,
we had UFOs hovering over the nation's capital.
This is David Brinkley in the radar room
at Washington National Airport.
On these radar screens last Saturday,
they saw something strange and unusual
and, at the moment, unexplainable.
It was not an airplane, it was not a cloud.
Nobody knows what it was.
NARRATOR: The UFO sightings caused a sensation.
And incredibly, more unidentified objects
were detected again the following weekend.
This time, fighter jets were scrambled to intercept
the UFOs, but as they closed in,
the objects reportedly vanished.
DOLAN: There was a series of sightings
of these objects over the capital in Washington, D.C.,
for two weekends in a row.
There were some really very difficult reports
that got the U.S. government very concerned.
HANKS: Although many have tried to say that these were possibly
weather phenomena that were being seen on radar,
air traffic controllers there in Washington were
also seeing lights where these objects were appearing on radar.
NARRATOR: It was at this point in history--
the dawn of the Cold War--
that President Harry Truman established
a policy of government secrecy
that has come to be known as the national security state.
But could it be that the U.S. government
learned about an extraterrestrial presence
on Earth around this very same time?
Some UFO researchers believe
the government is aware not only
of alien visitation but also the significance
of the 37th parallel,
and have intentionally built
important facilities along that line of latitude.
Some of the nation's most strategic government
and strategic military installations are located
near the so-called "UFO superhighway,"
including Fort Knox,
which protects the national gold reserve,
Nellis Air Force Base,
a center for advanced combat training,
and Cheyenne Mountain, an underground facility
that is home to both the Space Force
and the North American Aerospace Defense Command,
or NORAD.
CHILDRESS: Cheyenne Mountain, this is
the head of NORAD.
It's hollowed out. There's a city inside it.
There's elevators and cars and trains
and banks of computers and people are living there.
NARRATOR: Perhaps the most mysterious military facility
along the 37th parallel is an Air Force base
in the Nevada Desert called Area 51.
It has long been rumored that crashed alien craft
retrieved from Roswell and other locations
are stored and studied at this highly secure installation.
Area 51 is a secretive Air Force installation
near Groom Lake, Nevada, which has been
shrouded in mystery for decades.
It wasn't until 2013 when the CIA finally revealed
documentation that acknowledged the existence of Area 51.
SPRAGUE: It's been the place of the birth
of the U2 spy plane,
the B2 stealth bomber.
But we also have many stories
that UFOs have been seen
coming in and out of the base.
We've had stories that UFOs were reverse engineered
at Area 51 as well.
RICKSECKER: The military remain tight-lipped
on all the presumed UFO
and extraterrestrial activity
that happens in or around Area 51.
But UFOs and UAPs have been seen around that area,
not just from eyewitnesses on the ground,
but also from commercial airline pilots.
ZIEGELMEYER: Area 51 lies
on the 37th parallel.
Now you would wonder, is that on purpose?
Is it maybe because of the activity?
Now we know that there's
strange craft that have been seen in and around the area.
Are they experimental or is this something
that happens by there?
It's a very mysterious area.
NARRATOR: Could important government installations
have been built near the 37th parallel
for a specific purpose?
And if so,
does this serve as further evidence
that something unusual is going on
along the so-called "UFO superhighway"?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by following this line of latitude
beyond the United States
to mysterious sites that are thousands of years old.
NARRATOR: UFO researchers continue to document
unexplained sightings and animal mutilations
along the 37th parallel
all across the United States.
And they have also noted significant happenings
on this line of latitude in other parts of the world.
COLLINS: If we follow it
around, for instance,
into the Eurasian continent,
we find that the 37th parallel
also corresponds to some incredibly important
and very mysterious places.
For instance, in Turkey,
it runs through the city of Gaziantep,
which was the central focus
of major earthquakes in 2023.
And these earthquakes were proceeded
by the appearance of UFOs in the same vicinity.
Beyond that,
on the same parallel,
a little bit further to the east,
are the ancient sites
of Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.
NARRATOR: Archeologists studying the megalithic sites
of Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe
have determined they date back at least 12,000 years
to a time when humans
were thought to be simple hunter-gatherers,
incapable of such sophisticated construction.
While scholars struggle to explain how
and why these sites were built,
ancient astronaut theorists suggest
their mere existence,
along with their astronomical alignments
and carvings of strange humanoid figures,
reveal an extraterrestrial connection.
TSOUKALOS: What I find interesting is that, at Göbekli Tepe
and Karahan Tepe, you have these concentric circles.
I wonder if we, perhaps, have a star map
in that region.
Because, worldwide,
we have star maps that were rendered
in stone.
Why?
In my opinion,
this was a calling card
to show where the extraterrestrials
came from.
COLLINS: Recently, at Karahan Tepe,
an incredible statue has been discovered.
It is seven and a half feet tall,
and located within a new enclosure
aligned directly towards
the stars of the constellation of Cygnus,
the celestial bird.
So is it possible, therefore,
that these ancient structures
were used with celestial beings
and otherworldly intelligences?
And all of this
was occurring on the 37th parallel.
And this alone should tell us that this
connection with these,
perhaps, extraterrestrial intelligences
was going on all the way round the world.
NARRATOR: Could the fact that the mysterious ancient sites
of Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe
lie on or close to the 37th parallel
provide further evidence
that it has some connection to extraterrestrials?
For now, there remain more questions
than answers,
but many researchers believe
that solving the mystery of the 37th parallel
could lead to even more profound revelations.
People should care more about what is being seen
along the 37-degree parallel line.
It's important to know what's going on
out there in our universe.
And I was surprised at how little attention
the reports from Congress
and the hearings have gotten.
This is important. This is life-changing.
This is history-changing.
Things are going on that we had no idea about.
So if you know an area that's very, very active,
that's where we should begin the search,
where we should begin to try and solve the mystery.
I believe the 37-degree parallel line
is the road to finding
the answers to our questions.
Why is this parallel so important
and seems to have been important throughout humanity's history?
Is it that there's some sort of geophysical phenomena
that enables new capabilities and technologies
like wireless transmission of power,
like portals or consciousness teleportation?
NARRATOR: Is the 37th parallel a UFO superhighway?
If the mystery is ever solved,
what will we find?
Underground alien bases?
Areas of massive energy outputs?
Portals though space and time?
Perhaps, one day soon,
the truth will be revealed
and we will learn the key to reuniting
with our alien ancestors.
