1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,413
He is the man who harnessed lightning...
2
00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:06,520
He really is the quintessential wizard.
3
00:00:06,956 --> 00:00:11,000
He envisioned new technologies
far before their time.
4
00:00:11,135 --> 00:00:13,840
These images would burst into his mind.
5
00:00:14,614 --> 00:00:18,785
He also claimed to have contact
with otherworldly beings.
6
00:00:18,875 --> 00:00:21,800
You have to wonder
if extraterrestrials themselves...
7
00:00:22,298 --> 00:00:24,219
...weren't feeding him information.
8
00:00:26,004 --> 00:00:29,434
Nikola Tesla is considered
one of the most innovative...
9
00:00:29,524 --> 00:00:32,129
...and mysterious man who ever lived.
10
00:00:32,624 --> 00:00:34,958
But was he simply a mad genius,
11
00:00:35,287 --> 00:00:39,195
or might his brilliance
have had extraterrestrial origins?
12
00:00:39,285 --> 00:00:43,234
He was actually being communicated with
by extraterrestrials...
13
00:00:43,555 --> 00:00:45,382
...and publicly proclaimed this.
14
00:00:46,251 --> 00:00:48,962
Millions of people
around the world believed...
15
00:00:49,052 --> 00:00:52,828
...we have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.
16
00:00:53,323 --> 00:00:55,254
What if it were true?
17
00:00:56,384 --> 00:01:00,200
Did ancient aliens really have helped
to shape our history?
18
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:06,473
And if so, is there a connection
to the genius of Nikola Tesla?
19
00:01:37,208 --> 00:01:38,374
New York City.
20
00:01:39,619 --> 00:01:42,719
January 7th, 1943.
21
00:01:44,064 --> 00:01:47,305
Famed inventor Nikola Tesla
dies of a heart attack...
22
00:01:47,395 --> 00:01:50,217
...on the 33rd floor
of the Hotel New Yorker.
23
00:01:51,475 --> 00:01:54,054
Within hours
of his body being discovered,
24
00:01:54,144 --> 00:01:57,051
his nephew arrives at Room 3327,
25
00:01:57,388 --> 00:01:59,767
and discovers Tesla's remains...
26
00:01:59,857 --> 00:02:02,595
...as well as his technical papers
and notebooks...
27
00:02:02,782 --> 00:02:04,326
...have already been removed.
28
00:02:06,688 --> 00:02:10,404
Speculation spreads that
the Federal Bureau of Investigations...
29
00:02:10,494 --> 00:02:12,221
...had seized the items...
30
00:02:12,311 --> 00:02:15,126
...and quickly designated them
"top secret."
31
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:20,788
Nikola Tesla was completely paranoid
about someone trying to kill him.
32
00:02:20,939 --> 00:02:25,256
And as soon as he died,
US government agents swooped in...
33
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:28,165
...and confiscated
all of is scientific papers.
34
00:02:28,255 --> 00:02:29,636
In a very short time,
35
00:02:29,726 --> 00:02:33,143
everything that he had been guarding
with his life was gone.
36
00:02:34,492 --> 00:02:38,397
The official story is that nothing
of any great significance was found.
37
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:40,920
Just a lot of scientific papers
and documents.
38
00:02:41,752 --> 00:02:44,321
However, there have been a lot of rumors
over the years...
39
00:02:44,411 --> 00:02:48,310
...that the materials recovered
was profoundly significant...
40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,855
...in terms of a lot of highly advanced
scientific concepts.
41
00:02:54,947 --> 00:02:58,803
Just who was this mysterious figure
known as Tesla?
42
00:02:59,929 --> 00:03:03,127
And why would his notebooks
elicit so much interest...
43
00:03:03,217 --> 00:03:05,026
...from the United States government?
44
00:03:08,844 --> 00:03:11,469
The life of Nikola Tesla
was a dramatic one...
45
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:12,818
...from the very beginning.
46
00:03:14,769 --> 00:03:19,337
He was born at the stroke
of midnight on July 10, 1856,
47
00:03:19,571 --> 00:03:23,495
during a violent lightning storm,
in what is now Croatia.
48
00:03:25,780 --> 00:03:30,048
It was during an electrical storm,
and the midwife saw this as a bad omen.
49
00:03:30,138 --> 00:03:31,779
But there was a flash of lightning...
50
00:03:32,663 --> 00:03:36,505
...and Tesla's mother said,
"No, this will be a child of light."
51
00:03:37,798 --> 00:03:42,066
At an early age,
Nikola Tesla showed a superior mind.
52
00:03:42,197 --> 00:03:44,907
He was already inventing things.
53
00:03:44,997 --> 00:03:48,588
He invented toys
that used insects to power them.
54
00:03:49,612 --> 00:03:52,659
But he was fascinated by thunderstorms.
55
00:03:52,894 --> 00:03:58,331
And when he would see the lightning,
he became fascinated with electricity.
56
00:03:58,421 --> 00:03:59,760
And he was determined,
57
00:03:59,850 --> 00:04:04,747
that he was going to harness the power
of the earth and the universe...
58
00:04:04,837 --> 00:04:06,626
...for the benefit of mankind.
59
00:04:10,015 --> 00:04:13,671
In 1881, after eight years
of studying physics,
60
00:04:13,761 --> 00:04:18,571
math and engineering at universities
in Graz, Austria and Prague,
61
00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:23,826
Tesla became an electrical engineer
for a telephone company in Budapest.
62
00:04:25,934 --> 00:04:29,889
Three years later, the 28-year-old moved
to the United States,
63
00:04:29,979 --> 00:04:34,045
and took a job in New York City,
working for Thomas Edison.
64
00:04:36,141 --> 00:04:39,172
But very quickly,
the inventors became rivals...
65
00:04:39,262 --> 00:04:42,493
...in what became known
as the War of the Currents.
66
00:04:43,736 --> 00:04:45,892
In a sense, you have dueling wizards.
67
00:04:46,096 --> 00:04:48,549
Edison was performing with direct current,
68
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:51,220
Tesla came along
with alternating current...
69
00:04:51,310 --> 00:04:54,006
...competing to win the right
to harness Niagara Falls.
70
00:04:54,096 --> 00:04:55,541
That was the big prize.
71
00:04:55,631 --> 00:04:57,079
If you harness Niagara Falls,
72
00:04:57,169 --> 00:04:59,722
you would control all the power
for the entire Northeast.
73
00:05:03,917 --> 00:05:06,724
In Edison's direct current
distribution system,
74
00:05:07,124 --> 00:05:10,183
the steady stream of electricity
would lose potency...
75
00:05:10,273 --> 00:05:12,055
...as it traveled down the line.
76
00:05:13,738 --> 00:05:16,512
This required power plants
every half mile...
77
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,185
...and could only supply enough power
to light bulbs.
78
00:05:21,537 --> 00:05:24,787
Tesla designed
a far more sophisticated system...
79
00:05:24,956 --> 00:05:26,780
...utilizing alternating current...
80
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:29,692
...which could easily be manipulated
along the way...
81
00:05:29,938 --> 00:05:32,554
...allowing for not only light bulbs
to be powered,
82
00:05:32,826 --> 00:05:35,219
but also other electric devices.
83
00:05:36,142 --> 00:05:39,470
Using Niagara Falls
as a hydro-electric power source,
84
00:05:39,794 --> 00:05:43,382
Tesla's system could illuminate
the entire Northeast.
85
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:48,000
It would be like comparing a horse
and buggy to a jet plane.
86
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:51,240
Tesla had the jet plane.
Edison had the horse and buggy.
87
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,920
There is no comparison at all.
Tesla had a quantum leap ahead.
88
00:05:57,977 --> 00:06:01,483
Edison criticized Tesla's model
as highly dangerous...
89
00:06:01,723 --> 00:06:04,659
...in an effort to ensure
that his system won out.
90
00:06:05,814 --> 00:06:09,165
He even went so far
as holding public demonstrations...
91
00:06:09,255 --> 00:06:13,099
...using alternating current
to electrocute cats and dogs.
92
00:06:14,925 --> 00:06:16,985
And even a rogue elephant.
93
00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:24,694
But Nikola Tesla's superior
AC power system ultimately prevailed.
94
00:06:24,952 --> 00:06:29,797
And today, it still remains
the foundation of the world's power grid.
95
00:06:31,128 --> 00:06:34,187
Tesla allowed the world to be electrified.
96
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:39,856
And not only that, he brought electricity
from being kind of a useful thing...
97
00:06:39,946 --> 00:06:44,120
...to being a universal thing
that could be used all throughout society.
98
00:06:45,105 --> 00:06:48,011
Nikola Tesla
is one of the most amazing geniuses...
99
00:06:48,101 --> 00:06:50,245
...mankind has ever known.
100
00:06:50,335 --> 00:06:54,253
His ideas went far and beyond
what was accepted at the time.
101
00:06:55,622 --> 00:06:57,444
If it hadn't been for Tesla,
102
00:06:57,534 --> 00:07:00,520
we would be living
in very different times.
103
00:07:03,015 --> 00:07:06,916
But Nikola Tesla not only
efficiently electrified the world,
104
00:07:08,590 --> 00:07:12,824
his legacy includes groundbreaking work
on electric railroads,
105
00:07:13,164 --> 00:07:15,041
florescent and neon lights...
106
00:07:15,653 --> 00:07:17,819
wireless radio communications...
107
00:07:19,545 --> 00:07:20,499
X-ray...
108
00:07:22,313 --> 00:07:23,573
remote control...
109
00:07:25,071 --> 00:07:26,419
turbine engines...
110
00:07:28,438 --> 00:07:29,542
speedometers...
111
00:07:30,987 --> 00:07:32,066
helicopters...
112
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:35,845
...and even torpedoes.
113
00:07:37,351 --> 00:07:42,583
By the time of his death,
Tesla held nearly 700 worldwide patents.
114
00:07:43,466 --> 00:07:46,813
Nikola Tesla was one of the world's
greatest inventors.
115
00:07:47,328 --> 00:07:49,270
Tesla was like Leonardo da Vinci.
116
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,600
He had the mind of a futurist
and he was able to do incredible things.
117
00:07:56,556 --> 00:07:58,443
During Nikola Tesla's time,
118
00:07:58,533 --> 00:08:01,839
the Industrial Revolution
was firmly taking hold.
119
00:08:02,222 --> 00:08:06,670
Factories using steam and coal power
replaced manual labor.
120
00:08:07,027 --> 00:08:10,672
Hundreds of thousands of miles
of railway and roads were built,
121
00:08:11,026 --> 00:08:14,066
dramatically changing
the landscape of society.
122
00:08:14,716 --> 00:08:18,105
But this extraordinary innovation
came at a price,
123
00:08:18,409 --> 00:08:21,273
a complete disregard for the environment.
124
00:08:21,987 --> 00:08:24,441
Nikola Tesla said
that there was a difference...
125
00:08:24,531 --> 00:08:27,189
...between progress and technology.
126
00:08:27,526 --> 00:08:32,840
Progress benefits mankind.
Technology does not necessarily do that.
127
00:08:33,409 --> 00:08:38,116
If you have a technology
that is polluting the planet,
128
00:08:38,206 --> 00:08:39,499
that's not progress.
129
00:08:40,537 --> 00:08:45,045
But just how is it that Nikola Tesla
was so far ahead of his time?
130
00:08:46,518 --> 00:08:49,412
For decades,
the forward-thinking inventor,
131
00:08:49,502 --> 00:08:51,435
a man shrouded in mystery,
132
00:08:51,525 --> 00:08:54,394
has fascinated scholars and researchers.
133
00:08:56,134 --> 00:08:57,912
Tesla came from a very strange area.
134
00:08:58,002 --> 00:09:00,168
Actually, it wasn't too far
from Transylvania.
135
00:09:00,652 --> 00:09:04,943
He was tall and thin.
He spoke 11 or 12 different languages.
136
00:09:05,375 --> 00:09:09,884
And he does these fantastic inventions
and fantastic performances.
137
00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:12,724
So he had this mystique about him.
138
00:09:13,767 --> 00:09:18,727
Nikola Tesla is born at a time,
which, coincidentally,
139
00:09:19,465 --> 00:09:23,162
coincides
with an ancient Zoharic prophecy...
140
00:09:23,555 --> 00:09:27,640
...that speaks about the opening
of the gates of wisdom upon the Earth.
141
00:09:28,148 --> 00:09:32,902
And who is born at this time?
Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein.
142
00:09:33,124 --> 00:09:35,832
This is the beginning of so many things.
143
00:09:39,988 --> 00:09:43,751
But could there really be something more
to the prophecies, rumors,
144
00:09:43,841 --> 00:09:47,208
and wild speculations
surrounding Nikola Tesla?
145
00:09:48,891 --> 00:09:51,987
Something perhaps even otherworldly?
146
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:57,267
Throughout history, there have been
various prophets and scientists...
147
00:09:57,357 --> 00:09:59,841
...that have really affected
the human evolution,
148
00:10:00,050 --> 00:10:02,482
like Einstein, Galileo, Copernicus.
149
00:10:02,572 --> 00:10:04,919
And Tesla's definitely
one of these type of people.
150
00:10:05,217 --> 00:10:07,782
We have to wonder if these people
aren't somehow involved...
151
00:10:07,872 --> 00:10:11,294
...in some larger plan of influence
on humanity as a whole.
152
00:10:12,604 --> 00:10:14,672
Some researchers into Tesla think...
153
00:10:14,762 --> 00:10:18,420
...that he was some kind
of special human receiver.
154
00:10:18,875 --> 00:10:19,948
And if that's the case,
155
00:10:20,038 --> 00:10:24,153
then we have someone
who the ETs were helping...
156
00:10:24,243 --> 00:10:27,675
...to move along and develop
the amazing inventions...
157
00:10:27,765 --> 00:10:29,418
...that light the world today.
158
00:10:30,617 --> 00:10:34,014
Is it possible that Tesla knew
he was on a mission?
159
00:10:34,104 --> 00:10:37,883
Was he attempting
to up level our technology...
160
00:10:37,973 --> 00:10:40,567
...to the point
at which we would be capable...
161
00:10:40,657 --> 00:10:44,180
...of having all of the abilities
of those who, in ancient times,
162
00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:45,928
were called the gods?
163
00:10:47,651 --> 00:10:48,685
Is it possible,
164
00:10:48,775 --> 00:10:51,658
as some ancient astronaut theorists
suggest,
165
00:10:51,748 --> 00:10:56,066
that Nikola Tesla was being influenced
by extraterrestrials?
166
00:10:57,439 --> 00:11:01,506
Extraterrestrials on a mission
to advance mankind?
167
00:11:04,305 --> 00:11:07,558
Perhaps answers can be found
by further examining...
168
00:11:07,648 --> 00:11:12,132
...the inspiration behind
one of Tesla's greatest achievements.
169
00:11:17,726 --> 00:11:19,426
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
170
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,328
The Massachusetts Institute
of Technology...
171
00:11:23,418 --> 00:11:26,126
...is home to some of the world's
greatest minds.
172
00:11:27,146 --> 00:11:30,616
MIT researchers
are on the forefront of innovation...
173
00:11:30,706 --> 00:11:34,040
...including the development
of wireless transmission of power.
174
00:11:36,767 --> 00:11:39,351
Efficient wireless transmission
of electricity...
175
00:11:39,441 --> 00:11:41,665
...has eluded scientists for years.
176
00:11:42,345 --> 00:11:44,773
Radio waves, microwaves,
177
00:11:44,863 --> 00:11:48,600
and even laser beam transmission of power
have fallen short.
178
00:11:50,034 --> 00:11:51,519
But in 2007,
179
00:11:51,695 --> 00:11:53,590
MIT researchers were able...
180
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:57,920
...to safely transmit power wirelessly
seven feet across a room,
181
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,284
a feat heralded as a first step
to cutting the power cord.
182
00:12:04,211 --> 00:12:07,599
Incredibly,
a world in which all electrical devices...
183
00:12:07,689 --> 00:12:10,521
...would be automatically powered
at all times,
184
00:12:10,611 --> 00:12:12,854
requiring no charging or wires...
185
00:12:13,119 --> 00:12:15,600
...was envisioned
more than a century earlier...
186
00:12:16,935 --> 00:12:19,075
...by inventor Nikola Tesla.
187
00:12:21,019 --> 00:12:22,272
And by some accounts,
188
00:12:22,362 --> 00:12:25,719
he was close
to actually achieving that goal.
189
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,097
The ideas of Tesla for wireless power...
190
00:12:31,187 --> 00:12:35,920
...have only been briefly investigated
by various scientists.
191
00:12:36,285 --> 00:12:41,965
And the tests that were done by Tesla
in 1899 to 1900 in Colorado Springs...
192
00:12:42,055 --> 00:12:46,508
...verified the fact that
the use of wireless was actually possible.
193
00:12:48,774 --> 00:12:50,335
Tesla went out to Colorado Springs...
194
00:12:50,425 --> 00:12:52,582
...to see if he could send
electricity miles...
195
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:55,537
...which is a tremendous achievement
but he had a huge tower.
196
00:12:55,772 --> 00:12:57,481
It was 200 feet to the top.
197
00:12:58,063 --> 00:13:02,010
His assistant was located
at the laboratory and Tesla said,
198
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,540
"When I give you the signal
I want you to throw the switch..."
199
00:13:04,630 --> 00:13:06,999
"...and fire up the wireless system."
200
00:13:07,089 --> 00:13:09,643
And Tesla probably walked
four miles away.
201
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:13,014
Tesla inserted light bulbs
into the earth...
202
00:13:13,104 --> 00:13:15,053
...to see if his tower was in fact...
203
00:13:15,144 --> 00:13:17,642
...creating a wireless circuit
with the ground.
204
00:13:17,732 --> 00:13:20,476
If so, the bulbs would light up.
205
00:13:21,458 --> 00:13:23,180
These light bulbs were being lit...
206
00:13:23,863 --> 00:13:27,568
...so he was able to establish
that he could transmit electrical power...
207
00:13:27,658 --> 00:13:29,010
...over great distances.
208
00:13:29,647 --> 00:13:30,705
But he did keep it a secret.
209
00:13:30,795 --> 00:13:33,684
He even kept the mechanics a secret
from his assistant...
210
00:13:33,774 --> 00:13:36,662
...who didn't totally know all the details
of what he was doing.
211
00:13:41,497 --> 00:13:45,411
Shoreham, New York, 1901.
212
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:51,964
Tesla convinces banker JP Morgan
to give him 150,000 dollars...
213
00:13:52,054 --> 00:13:54,219
...for the construction
of a radio station.
214
00:13:54,946 --> 00:13:59,249
But instead, he uses the money
to build a giant wireless transmitter...
215
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:01,562
...he calls Wardenclyffe Tower.
216
00:14:03,587 --> 00:14:06,573
Wardenclyffe was 187 feet to the top...
217
00:14:06,663 --> 00:14:09,342
...but it also went 120 feet
down into the ground.
218
00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:14,746
And Tesla had envisioned
receiving stations...
219
00:14:14,836 --> 00:14:16,996
...which would look
just like the Wardenclyffe Tower...
220
00:14:18,027 --> 00:14:20,290
...at different nodal points
around the Earth.
221
00:14:20,839 --> 00:14:24,677
So you would energy by means of wireless
from station to station.
222
00:14:25,379 --> 00:14:27,760
He even thought that he could
eventually use the same system...
223
00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:29,797
...to jump power to different planets.
224
00:14:31,672 --> 00:14:33,290
But Tesla's dream of creating...
225
00:14:33,380 --> 00:14:36,480
...a highly efficient broadcast
of wireless electricity...
226
00:14:36,847 --> 00:14:39,310
...was cut short when in 1904,
227
00:14:39,404 --> 00:14:43,880
its funder, JP Morgan,
discovered Tesla's true intentions,
228
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:47,445
to provide free power
to everyone on the planet.
229
00:14:48,306 --> 00:14:50,175
With the lack of additional funding,
230
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:53,911
by 1908,
the project was completely abandoned.
231
00:14:54,649 --> 00:14:59,081
And in 1917, the tower was demolished.
232
00:15:01,571 --> 00:15:06,341
No company, no corporation
wants to give away its technology freely.
233
00:15:07,031 --> 00:15:09,224
So Tesla was shut down...
234
00:15:09,314 --> 00:15:11,434
...so that the world
wouldn't have free energy.
235
00:15:12,938 --> 00:15:17,089
But just how was Tesla able
to transmit electricity wirelessly...
236
00:15:17,179 --> 00:15:18,492
...for several miles...
237
00:15:18,987 --> 00:15:22,529
...when modern scientists
can only manage seven feet?
238
00:15:24,777 --> 00:15:27,101
Tesla credited his many inventions...
239
00:15:27,191 --> 00:15:30,357
...to the ability to realize them
entirely in his mind.
240
00:15:31,721 --> 00:15:35,134
He also described experiencing
intense flashes of light,
241
00:15:36,712 --> 00:15:40,629
which were followed by moments
of intense creativity and clarity.
242
00:15:42,247 --> 00:15:45,808
He would see an invention
appear before his eyes...
243
00:15:45,898 --> 00:15:48,166
...in almost holographic detail.
244
00:15:48,321 --> 00:15:51,779
He said that he could rotate
these visions.
245
00:15:51,869 --> 00:15:54,730
Take them apart piece by piece.
246
00:15:54,820 --> 00:15:56,486
And he knew exactly...
247
00:15:56,576 --> 00:15:59,706
...how he was going to build
these inventions,
248
00:16:00,073 --> 00:16:03,396
based on his visionary experiences.
249
00:16:04,223 --> 00:16:07,298
One of his greatest creations
is the rotating magnetic field...
250
00:16:07,499 --> 00:16:09,480
...and that came in a flash of intuition.
251
00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:11,652
He felt that we were receivers.
252
00:16:11,742 --> 00:16:16,454
That all impulses came from the outside
and that we worked on these impulses.
253
00:16:16,666 --> 00:16:18,194
So, he doesn't believe...
254
00:16:18,284 --> 00:16:20,410
...that they come from dreams
or inner visions.
255
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:24,113
He really felt that we were in a sense,
self-propelled robots.
256
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:31,774
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe
there may be another explanation...
257
00:16:31,864 --> 00:16:35,509
...for Tesla's uncanny abilities
and mysterious visions.
258
00:16:37,124 --> 00:16:39,904
They suggest
these spontaneous episodes...
259
00:16:39,994 --> 00:16:43,317
...are proof that Tesla
was receiving information...
260
00:16:43,407 --> 00:16:45,528
...from an otherworldly source.
261
00:16:45,948 --> 00:16:49,679
These images would literally burst
into his mind.
262
00:16:49,769 --> 00:16:53,668
Somehow, somewhere,
some connection was made.
263
00:16:53,963 --> 00:16:55,231
And it's the same way...
264
00:16:55,321 --> 00:16:57,522
...that Biblical prophets
received their prophecy.
265
00:16:58,488 --> 00:17:02,094
Nikola Tesla was clearly in touch
with something.
266
00:17:02,944 --> 00:17:06,125
You have to wonder
if extraterrestrials themselves...
267
00:17:06,215 --> 00:17:08,845
...weren't feeding him
images of inventions...
268
00:17:08,935 --> 00:17:10,990
...that only he could understand.
269
00:17:11,503 --> 00:17:15,265
Nikola Tesla felt
there was a knowledge base...
270
00:17:15,355 --> 00:17:21,153
...located somewhere in the universe
that all of humanity could tap into...
271
00:17:21,243 --> 00:17:24,735
...if they just knew
how to properly tune their mind...
272
00:17:24,825 --> 00:17:26,471
...to this knowledge base.
273
00:17:30,407 --> 00:17:34,104
Is it possible Nikola Tesla
was actually being fed images...
274
00:17:34,194 --> 00:17:36,617
...to assist him in furthering mankind?
275
00:17:38,130 --> 00:17:43,342
And if so, could Tesla have tapped
into an ancient source of knowledge...
276
00:17:43,726 --> 00:17:48,484
...perhaps even rediscovering technology
that may have been used before?
277
00:17:48,740 --> 00:17:54,078
We have these stories of towers
that might have relayed energy,
278
00:17:54,168 --> 00:17:57,025
like the obelisks
that we can find all around the world.
279
00:17:57,115 --> 00:17:59,410
That they, at some point,
were all connected,
280
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:02,942
and that they were feeding off
the Earth's magnetic grid.
281
00:18:03,629 --> 00:18:07,507
It's been discovered
in ancient Egyptian temples and tombs,
282
00:18:07,597 --> 00:18:11,604
carvings that look suspiciously
like modern day light bulbs...
283
00:18:11,694 --> 00:18:13,759
...and Tesla coils.
284
00:18:14,265 --> 00:18:19,258
Was there a certain technology
and energy system of ancient times...
285
00:18:19,544 --> 00:18:21,977
...that we still have remnants of today?
286
00:18:22,169 --> 00:18:27,687
Giant pyramids, obelisks,
huge standing stones and towers.
287
00:18:27,911 --> 00:18:31,417
Perhaps they were all part
of some extraterrestrial,
288
00:18:31,507 --> 00:18:33,570
huge energy system.
289
00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:41,032
Was Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower meant
to connect to an ancient energy grid,
290
00:18:41,957 --> 00:18:46,985
powered not only by the Earth,
but eventually by other planets as well?
291
00:18:47,545 --> 00:18:52,015
And if so, is it possible
Nikola Tesla was communicating...
292
00:18:52,105 --> 00:18:56,943
...with advanced celestial beings
that visited Earth thousands of years ago?
293
00:18:58,951 --> 00:19:03,321
Perhaps further clues can be found
with the mysterious radio transmissions...
294
00:19:03,411 --> 00:19:08,733
...Tesla claimed he received in 1899
from outer space.
295
00:19:12,614 --> 00:19:16,871
Colorado Springs, July, 1899.
296
00:19:20,096 --> 00:19:24,259
While testing a magnifying transmitter
built to track storms,
297
00:19:24,701 --> 00:19:28,579
Nikola Tesla claims he received
some sort of transmission...
298
00:19:28,669 --> 00:19:30,320
...from an unknown source.
299
00:19:33,202 --> 00:19:36,850
One night he was tracking thunderstorms
600 miles away.
300
00:19:37,308 --> 00:19:39,876
But, all of a sudden,
he heard these beeps.
301
00:19:44,207 --> 00:19:47,129
And it was three beats in sequence.
302
00:19:47,601 --> 00:19:50,775
And so, it was mathematical.
And it didn't make any sense to him.
303
00:19:50,865 --> 00:19:52,236
And the more he thought about it,
304
00:19:52,326 --> 00:19:54,950
he thought that they came
from outer space.
305
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:57,262
Perhaps from the Martians.
306
00:20:00,214 --> 00:20:06,609
Mars' orbit brings it close to the Earth
periodically about once every 1.8 years.
307
00:20:07,292 --> 00:20:09,972
And at one of those close encounters,
308
00:20:10,647 --> 00:20:13,360
he believed
he was picking up signals from Mars.
309
00:20:14,225 --> 00:20:16,278
He most likely had made a receiver...
310
00:20:16,368 --> 00:20:18,807
...that was sensitive enough
to receive radio waves...
311
00:20:18,897 --> 00:20:21,015
...as we now know come from galaxies...
312
00:20:21,105 --> 00:20:24,657
...and lots of different
extraterrestrial sources.
313
00:20:24,747 --> 00:20:27,621
So, he interpreted them
as signals from ETs.
314
00:20:27,711 --> 00:20:30,061
But perhaps he had an open channel...
315
00:20:30,151 --> 00:20:32,905
...that we really still don't understand
today.
316
00:20:34,694 --> 00:20:36,436
Tesla believed it's absurd to think...
317
00:20:36,526 --> 00:20:38,791
...we're the only intelligent beings
in the universe.
318
00:20:38,881 --> 00:20:42,335
If that's the case, where are they
in the intelligence hierarchy?
319
00:20:42,425 --> 00:20:46,320
And why wouldn't they wanna communicate
with an intelligent force on the Earth?
320
00:20:49,942 --> 00:20:53,036
Tesla reported
this otherworldly communication,
321
00:20:53,126 --> 00:20:57,761
and proclaimed his belief
in extraterrestrials in February of 1901,
322
00:20:58,319 --> 00:21:02,661
in an article for "Collier's Weekly"
titled "Talking with the Planets."
323
00:21:03,704 --> 00:21:06,950
Tesla became obsessed
with trying to receive...
324
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,920
...a further radio communications
from other planets.
325
00:21:11,798 --> 00:21:15,332
Based on these transmissions
that Tesla was receiving,
326
00:21:15,422 --> 00:21:19,453
he developed a theory
that this extraterrestrial presence...
327
00:21:19,543 --> 00:21:22,228
...had been on Earth for a millennium.
328
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,979
That these extraterrestrials...
329
00:21:25,069 --> 00:21:29,160
...had been controlling mankind
from the very beginning.
330
00:21:30,283 --> 00:21:32,702
How far did these communications go?
331
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:33,910
Did it lead to the point...
332
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,589
...where he was actually able to receive
useful information...
333
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,728
...that was helping him build
his inventions?
334
00:21:39,972 --> 00:21:42,205
Many believe that is what happened,
335
00:21:42,295 --> 00:21:45,957
and that Tesla had direct contact
through the things he invented,
336
00:21:46,047 --> 00:21:47,720
with extraterrestrial intelligence.
337
00:21:49,144 --> 00:21:53,496
But the shocking revelation
was shunned by Tesla's scientific peers,
338
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,132
and led many to deem him
a "mad scientist."
339
00:21:57,774 --> 00:22:01,640
So you have Nikolai Tesla
electrifying the world, literally.
340
00:22:01,931 --> 00:22:05,358
Then about the time that
he had a falling out with JP Morgan,
341
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:06,768
a very powerful man.
342
00:22:07,556 --> 00:22:10,251
He'd also had a legendary falling out
with Edison,
343
00:22:10,951 --> 00:22:13,045
another legendary powerful man.
344
00:22:13,541 --> 00:22:18,091
Then, it came out that he was trying
to perhaps signal the planet Mars.
345
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,560
And his enemies exploited this,
I think, to try and discredit him.
346
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,038
In the early 1900s, it was rumoured...
347
00:22:28,128 --> 00:22:31,750
...that Tesla was being considered
to receive the Nobel Prize,
348
00:22:31,966 --> 00:22:34,449
but mysteriously, he never did.
349
00:22:35,826 --> 00:22:39,301
Even today, scientists don't take him
into account the way they should.
350
00:22:39,835 --> 00:22:43,360
Tesla talked about atoms
working like solar systems.
351
00:22:44,533 --> 00:22:46,938
And that light can work
as wave and a particle.
352
00:22:48,063 --> 00:22:51,926
Einstein got a Nobel Prize
for saying light worked like a particle.
353
00:22:52,654 --> 00:22:55,630
And Bohr and Rutherford
got a Nobel Prize...
354
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,669
...for saying that atoms
were like little solar systems.
355
00:22:58,941 --> 00:23:02,545
So, why is he removed
from the history of quantum physics...
356
00:23:02,635 --> 00:23:04,537
...when he really belongs
at the heart of it?
357
00:23:05,368 --> 00:23:08,266
So, I think he's been unfairly treated
by the physicists...
358
00:23:08,356 --> 00:23:11,920
...and part of the reason is,
his attachment to extraterrestrials.
359
00:23:13,389 --> 00:23:17,997
Was Nikola Tesla simply letting
his imagination get the better of him?
360
00:23:18,834 --> 00:23:23,966
Or is it possible he really was in contact
with extraterrestrial beings?
361
00:23:26,557 --> 00:23:27,922
Belgrade, in Serbia.
362
00:23:29,902 --> 00:23:32,859
Housing more than 160,000 documents,
363
00:23:33,742 --> 00:23:36,848
the Nikola Tesla Museum
offers rare insight...
364
00:23:36,938 --> 00:23:39,185
...into some of Tesla future plans.
365
00:23:41,066 --> 00:23:45,050
Including what some believed
to be drawings of space ships.
366
00:23:45,987 --> 00:23:47,486
According to historians,
367
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:51,580
Tesla began work
on his flying machine in 1910,
368
00:23:52,058 --> 00:23:55,675
focusing on the use of field propulsion
or anti-gravity.
369
00:23:56,449 --> 00:24:00,450
It is believed Tesla had discovered
that high amounts of electricity...
370
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:03,065
...could create lift in an object.
371
00:24:04,543 --> 00:24:06,462
Throughout the 1920s and '30s,
372
00:24:06,552 --> 00:24:10,000
Tesla continually talked
about anti-gravity ships...
373
00:24:10,090 --> 00:24:14,205
...that could derive power
from his Wardenclyffe Towers...
374
00:24:14,295 --> 00:24:16,363
...that were gonna be broadcasting power.
375
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:20,396
He claimed that these ships
did not have wings or fuel.
376
00:24:20,486 --> 00:24:22,808
They were completely electric.
377
00:24:25,251 --> 00:24:28,892
But were Tesla's designs
truly the first of their kind?
378
00:24:30,261 --> 00:24:33,787
Or is it possible,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest,
379
00:24:33,996 --> 00:24:37,235
that similar vehicles
had already visited the planet...
380
00:24:37,325 --> 00:24:38,600
...in the remote past?
381
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:44,855
In the ancient Indian epics, the "Vedas,"
we find references of vimanas,
382
00:24:44,945 --> 00:24:47,561
those flying chariots
that were used by the gods...
383
00:24:47,651 --> 00:24:50,154
...in order to travel
from point A to point B.
384
00:24:50,595 --> 00:24:53,673
Some of these vimanas
were able to alter direction...
385
00:24:53,763 --> 00:24:56,977
...at the drop of a hat
without any effort.
386
00:24:57,189 --> 00:25:00,014
So now reading this
from a modern day perspective,
387
00:25:00,104 --> 00:25:04,673
would suggest that some type
of anti-gravity device was used.
388
00:25:04,763 --> 00:25:07,613
You can link this
from the ancient to the modern world...
389
00:25:07,703 --> 00:25:09,723
...with the modern UFO phenomenon.
390
00:25:09,813 --> 00:25:14,118
And so the idea
that Tesla might have worked...
391
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:17,160
...on an anti-gravity device
is very plausible to me.
392
00:25:20,164 --> 00:25:23,798
Are the depictions of flying machines
in ancient Hindu texts...
393
00:25:23,888 --> 00:25:26,497
like the Mahabharata really proof...
394
00:25:26,587 --> 00:25:29,467
...that Tesla had received
otherworldly knowledge...
395
00:25:29,557 --> 00:25:32,781
in order to design
anti-gravity spaceships?
396
00:25:34,408 --> 00:25:36,670
And if the so-called mad scientist...
397
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,872
...actually did make contact
with extraterrestrials,
398
00:25:40,749 --> 00:25:45,670
is it possible he continued
to carry out their wishes in secret?
399
00:25:48,861 --> 00:25:52,635
Palo Alto, California. 2013.
400
00:25:53,866 --> 00:25:57,278
A Silicon Valley start-up's
all-electric sports car,
401
00:25:57,368 --> 00:25:59,587
wins Motor Trend's Car of the Year.
402
00:26:00,810 --> 00:26:03,818
It's one of the most
fuel-efficient vehicles on the planet,
403
00:26:04,142 --> 00:26:05,689
produces no emissions,
404
00:26:06,076 --> 00:26:10,060
and can go from zero to 60 miles per hour
in four seconds.
405
00:26:11,787 --> 00:26:15,593
The Model S energizes
the electric car industry...
406
00:26:15,683 --> 00:26:20,231
...and reintroduces its namesake
to the world stage, Tesla.
407
00:26:23,523 --> 00:26:26,355
It's interesting to think in 1931,
408
00:26:26,445 --> 00:26:31,775
Tesla told reporters that
he had converted a Pierce-Arrow car...
409
00:26:31,865 --> 00:26:34,769
...into a completely electric car.
410
00:26:35,441 --> 00:26:37,467
Tesla showed them the car,
411
00:26:37,557 --> 00:26:40,843
he drove it around,
it went as fast as 90 miles per hour.
412
00:26:41,298 --> 00:26:42,456
When you look at it,
413
00:26:42,546 --> 00:26:45,437
many of the inventions
that Tesla talked about...
414
00:26:45,527 --> 00:26:48,252
...and even patented,
were eventually developed.
415
00:26:51,579 --> 00:26:53,974
The list of technologies
that can be traced back...
416
00:26:54,064 --> 00:26:57,120
...to the drawing board of Nikola Tesla
is endless.
417
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,174
Modern humanoid robotic,
solar and wind power,
418
00:27:02,906 --> 00:27:05,800
weather manipulation, drones,
419
00:27:06,517 --> 00:27:09,573
and even planetary exploration vehicles.
420
00:27:11,916 --> 00:27:14,679
Getting as little
as just two hours of sleep per day,
421
00:27:15,031 --> 00:27:19,740
the inventor's sole purpose on Earth
appeared to be geared toward one end,
422
00:27:20,432 --> 00:27:24,232
advancing technology
for the future of the human race.
423
00:27:26,186 --> 00:27:27,751
He always had his eye on the future.
424
00:27:28,069 --> 00:27:31,364
And further, he was trying to shape
the future through his inventions.
425
00:27:32,378 --> 00:27:34,325
Mr Tesla was not unique in this.
426
00:27:35,016 --> 00:27:38,382
Many of the founders,
leaders of religion...
427
00:27:39,088 --> 00:27:43,646
...also were compelled
by inner experiences,
428
00:27:43,873 --> 00:27:47,716
which pushed them
to materialize these things in the world.
429
00:27:48,397 --> 00:27:51,258
So, in a religious context,
430
00:27:51,348 --> 00:27:55,121
we would say that a religious leader
is in touch with something divine.
431
00:27:55,729 --> 00:27:57,602
In a scientific context,
432
00:27:57,692 --> 00:27:59,415
we wouldn't necessarily use
the word divine.
433
00:27:59,505 --> 00:28:01,415
But yet somehow, somewhere,
434
00:28:01,505 --> 00:28:05,435
people are being contacted,
receiving communications,
435
00:28:06,041 --> 00:28:09,091
which are leading
to the clear introduction...
436
00:28:09,261 --> 00:28:13,040
...of new things in humanity.
437
00:28:15,952 --> 00:28:20,600
Tesla seemed to have this drive
that put everything else by the wayside.
438
00:28:20,801 --> 00:28:23,034
When he was working on an invention,
439
00:28:23,124 --> 00:28:27,360
food, sleep, relationships,
human interaction, none of that mattered.
440
00:28:27,686 --> 00:28:30,112
It's almost as if
he was on some type of a mission.
441
00:28:30,202 --> 00:28:34,560
A mission possibly with a greater plan
under the influence of extraterrestrials.
442
00:28:38,139 --> 00:28:43,560
Was Nikola Tesla really inspired to invent
by an extraterrestrial source,
443
00:28:44,037 --> 00:28:46,754
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
444
00:28:48,109 --> 00:28:51,512
And if so, might further clues be found...
445
00:28:51,602 --> 00:28:56,079
...in what some believe
to be the rantings of a mad man.
446
00:28:58,703 --> 00:29:01,891
By the time Nikola Tesla moved
into his final home,
447
00:29:02,181 --> 00:29:05,830
the Hotel New Yorker, in January 1934,
448
00:29:07,047 --> 00:29:09,925
he had become better known
for his eccentricities...
449
00:29:10,015 --> 00:29:11,284
...than his inventions.
450
00:29:13,178 --> 00:29:15,957
He reportedly was an extreme germaphobe,
451
00:29:16,363 --> 00:29:19,130
preferred to work
in almost complete darkness,
452
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,502
and was also obsessed
with the number three.
453
00:29:23,346 --> 00:29:25,335
Tesla was definitely interested
in numerology.
454
00:29:25,425 --> 00:29:26,709
And he was very superstitious.
455
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,235
He had to circle a building three times
before he entered.
456
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,450
He had calculated nodal points
around the planet...
457
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:36,545
...and they were probably linked
to the numbers three, six, and nine.
458
00:29:36,987 --> 00:29:39,328
And he said that the numbers
were very important.
459
00:29:40,717 --> 00:29:42,855
Nikola Tesla was quoted as saying,
460
00:29:43,057 --> 00:29:47,464
"If you knew the magnificence
of the three, six and nine,"
461
00:29:47,737 --> 00:29:51,109
"you would have a key to the universe."
462
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,904
If we go to the Great Pyramid of Giza,
463
00:29:55,217 --> 00:29:58,402
not only are there
the three larger pyramids at Giza,
464
00:29:58,492 --> 00:30:00,074
all side by side,
465
00:30:00,164 --> 00:30:03,365
mirroring the positions of the stars
in Orion's Belt,
466
00:30:03,455 --> 00:30:07,074
but we also see a group
of three smaller pyramids...
467
00:30:07,164 --> 00:30:11,194
...immediately away
from the three larger pyramids.
468
00:30:11,362 --> 00:30:13,064
Three and three.
469
00:30:13,643 --> 00:30:16,963
Similarly, we find lots of evidence...
470
00:30:17,053 --> 00:30:21,656
...that nature uses threefold
and six-fold symmetry...
471
00:30:21,833 --> 00:30:26,921
...including the hexagonal tile shape
of the common honeycomb.
472
00:30:27,614 --> 00:30:30,574
These shapes are in nature.
473
00:30:30,775 --> 00:30:33,305
And the ancients emulated these shapes...
474
00:30:33,395 --> 00:30:36,029
...in the building
of their sacred architecture.
475
00:30:36,438 --> 00:30:39,645
So Tesla's quote is neatly mirrored...
476
00:30:39,735 --> 00:30:43,054
...in the actual archaeological evidence
that we find...
477
00:30:43,144 --> 00:30:46,106
...in many ancient architectural sites
around the world.
478
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:51,254
Could the numbers three, six and nine...
479
00:30:51,467 --> 00:30:55,010
...really offer clues
to the inner workings of the universe?
480
00:30:55,946 --> 00:31:01,021
If so, is it possible that Tesla
uncovered this profound secret...
481
00:31:01,422 --> 00:31:02,776
...and used this knowledge...
482
00:31:02,866 --> 00:31:05,863
...to push the boundaries
of science and technology?
483
00:31:06,762 --> 00:31:08,911
Perhaps the answer can be found...
484
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:12,748
...by examining Tesla's
most controversial invention.
485
00:31:16,915 --> 00:31:20,721
New York City, July 1934.
486
00:31:22,634 --> 00:31:24,424
On his 78th birthday,
487
00:31:24,564 --> 00:31:26,250
Nikola Tesla makes headlines...
488
00:31:26,340 --> 00:31:28,400
...on the front page
of the "New York Times"...
489
00:31:28,651 --> 00:31:30,480
...for his alleged "Death-Beam."
490
00:31:32,489 --> 00:31:33,832
According to the article,
491
00:31:34,401 --> 00:31:36,542
the weapon could generate
enough energy...
492
00:31:36,632 --> 00:31:39,635
...to bring down a fleet
of 10,000 enemy airplanes...
493
00:31:39,735 --> 00:31:42,355
...as far as 250 miles away.
494
00:31:45,206 --> 00:31:47,359
Tesla apparently discovered...
495
00:31:47,449 --> 00:31:51,556
...that he could direct a stream
of plasma plus solid particles...
496
00:31:51,705 --> 00:31:53,705
...for long distances through the air,
497
00:31:54,069 --> 00:31:58,120
and kind of direct a lightning bolt,
and he called this a Death Ray.
498
00:31:59,736 --> 00:32:02,323
Tesla wanted to invent a machine...
499
00:32:02,413 --> 00:32:05,714
...that would knock out enemy aircraft
in the air.
500
00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:08,110
You would point it to the skies,
501
00:32:08,486 --> 00:32:12,715
turn it on, and all of the sudden
those planes would just fall like that.
502
00:32:14,628 --> 00:32:17,774
Tesla felt that if every country
had a particle beam weapon,
503
00:32:17,976 --> 00:32:21,272
then no country would ever be invaded
because planes would be shot down...
504
00:32:21,362 --> 00:32:23,817
...and ships would be sunk.
505
00:32:25,289 --> 00:32:27,977
So, he was trying to sell
this particle beam weapon...
506
00:32:28,067 --> 00:32:30,999
...to the US government
during World War II.
507
00:32:31,089 --> 00:32:32,449
And I think Franklin Roosevelt...
508
00:32:32,539 --> 00:32:35,041
...was basically looking
at two possibilities,
509
00:32:35,538 --> 00:32:39,085
Einstein was discussing
the possibility of an atom bomb.
510
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,126
Tesla was discussing the possibility
of a particle beam weapon.
511
00:32:43,216 --> 00:32:46,800
And it turned out the atom bomb
was able to be invented...
512
00:32:48,351 --> 00:32:49,908
...and that's the way they went.
513
00:32:54,562 --> 00:32:57,677
Although the Death Ray announcement
failed to ignite interest...
514
00:32:57,767 --> 00:32:59,400
...by the US War Department,
515
00:33:00,197 --> 00:33:04,578
some say other innovative work by Tesla
did catch their attention.
516
00:33:05,883 --> 00:33:07,548
Earlier in his career,
517
00:33:07,638 --> 00:33:10,840
while conducting research
with one of his transformer coils,
518
00:33:11,416 --> 00:33:14,104
Nikola Tesla
had a near-death experience...
519
00:33:14,755 --> 00:33:18,683
...when he came in contact with
a resonating electromagnetic charge...
520
00:33:18,773 --> 00:33:20,888
...of three and a half million volts.
521
00:33:22,199 --> 00:33:24,949
Tesla was working
with 60-foot lightning bolts...
522
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:27,541
...and he made a mistake
and he almost got electrocuted.
523
00:33:27,631 --> 00:33:28,520
And he couldn't get out.
524
00:33:28,610 --> 00:33:33,042
And he had to get one of his workers
to stop the lightning from happening.
525
00:33:33,316 --> 00:33:35,242
And he barely escaped with his life.
526
00:33:35,332 --> 00:33:38,240
And because of the shock that he had,
he had a revelation.
527
00:33:40,087 --> 00:33:43,996
Tesla said that he entered
a state of timelessness...
528
00:33:44,086 --> 00:33:48,271
...and he could see the past
and the future and the present,
529
00:33:48,533 --> 00:33:51,704
all at once in this mystic vision.
530
00:33:51,865 --> 00:33:55,569
But he was paralysed
and he couldn't do anything about it.
531
00:33:55,899 --> 00:33:58,398
Tesla was being
essentially electrocuted...
532
00:33:58,488 --> 00:34:01,360
and right then,
his assistant cut the power to him.
533
00:34:03,112 --> 00:34:07,960
But what Tesla said it had done
was moved him through time and space.
534
00:34:12,464 --> 00:34:13,915
But is it really possible...
535
00:34:14,005 --> 00:34:17,957
...Tesla had found a way to break
through the space-time continuum?
536
00:34:19,949 --> 00:34:23,542
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer might be found...
537
00:34:23,632 --> 00:34:27,410
...by looking at what has become known
as the Philadelphia Experiment.
538
00:34:29,353 --> 00:34:32,866
According to reports,
right before Tesla's death,
539
00:34:33,081 --> 00:34:36,731
he was working with Albert Einstein
and the United States Navy...
540
00:34:36,821 --> 00:34:38,440
...at the Philadelphia Naval Yard...
541
00:34:38,852 --> 00:34:42,770
...to create an electromagnetically
charged invisibility cloak...
542
00:34:42,860 --> 00:34:44,623
...for the USS Eldridge.
543
00:34:45,994 --> 00:34:49,215
They were attempting
to do a stealth technology.
544
00:34:49,874 --> 00:34:52,946
And apparently,
they mounted a bunch of Tesla coils...
545
00:34:53,036 --> 00:34:55,376
...to make a bunch of plasma
around a ship...
546
00:34:55,951 --> 00:35:00,120
...and this is well known
to help hide things from radar.
547
00:35:01,408 --> 00:35:03,859
But something very unexpected happened.
548
00:35:04,437 --> 00:35:09,360
The ship didn't just disappear from radar,
it disappeared completely.
549
00:35:10,477 --> 00:35:13,928
And then reappeared
with some of the crew...
550
00:35:14,018 --> 00:35:16,520
...actually embedded
in the metal of the ship.
551
00:35:20,681 --> 00:35:22,482
Although mainstream scientists...
552
00:35:22,572 --> 00:35:25,746
...believe the so-called
Philadelphia Experiment is a hoax,
553
00:35:26,146 --> 00:35:28,922
some insist the account is authentic.
554
00:35:30,412 --> 00:35:31,969
We have leaked testimony...
555
00:35:32,059 --> 00:35:36,001
...from classified levels of secrecy
in the US government,
556
00:35:36,091 --> 00:35:38,183
the Philadelphia Experiment was real.
557
00:35:38,527 --> 00:35:42,075
That the soldiers on that ship
got disoriented...
558
00:35:42,697 --> 00:35:44,914
...and they ended up walking
into the hull.
559
00:35:45,004 --> 00:35:48,200
And when the ship,
then rematerialised in our reality,
560
00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:51,205
their bodies melded
with the metal in the hull.
561
00:35:52,921 --> 00:35:57,440
Had Tesla really discovered a way
to travel through time and space?
562
00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:03,456
If so, might the secrets
behind this technology,
563
00:36:03,546 --> 00:36:06,473
along with the blueprints
for Tesla's death beam,
564
00:36:06,563 --> 00:36:09,211
have been included
in the scientific documents...
565
00:36:09,301 --> 00:36:13,037
...that the FBI allegedly confiscated
upon his death?
566
00:36:14,615 --> 00:36:18,063
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe evidence of this...
567
00:36:18,153 --> 00:36:22,968
...might be found with the modern world's
most sophisticated new weaponry.
568
00:36:28,309 --> 00:36:29,886
The Singapore Air Show.
569
00:36:30,498 --> 00:36:32,954
February, 2014.
570
00:36:34,490 --> 00:36:36,015
An Israeli arms company...
571
00:36:36,105 --> 00:36:39,386
...known as Rafael Advanced
Defence Systems...
572
00:36:39,476 --> 00:36:42,598
...reveals details
of a laser defence system...
573
00:36:42,688 --> 00:36:44,792
...capable of shooting missiles
from the sky...
574
00:36:44,882 --> 00:36:46,358
...with a pulse of energy.
575
00:36:52,088 --> 00:36:56,001
The futuristic military hardware
is called Iron Beam.
576
00:36:56,905 --> 00:36:58,764
The concept of Iron Beam...
577
00:36:58,854 --> 00:37:01,523
...is that it is essentially
a high-energy laser...
578
00:37:01,613 --> 00:37:05,939
...that is designed to rapidly heat up
the target that it's aimed at.
579
00:37:06,148 --> 00:37:09,960
And we're talking about aircraft,
drones, missiles,
580
00:37:10,296 --> 00:37:13,199
anything that could launch an attack
on a city...
581
00:37:13,289 --> 00:37:16,696
...could be literally destroyed in the sky
by Iron Beam.
582
00:37:20,017 --> 00:37:22,434
This sounds very much
like Tesla's Death Ray.
583
00:37:23,889 --> 00:37:26,175
This is exactly the kind of technology...
584
00:37:26,265 --> 00:37:30,842
...that Tesla was talking about
in the 1920s and '30s...
585
00:37:30,932 --> 00:37:35,296
...of using these beam weapons
to shoot down missiles and projectiles.
586
00:37:38,029 --> 00:37:42,789
The War Department sided with Einstein
and Oppenheimer's atomic bomb,
587
00:37:43,017 --> 00:37:44,381
not with Tesla.
588
00:37:45,093 --> 00:37:46,922
But now what we're seeing is,
589
00:37:47,012 --> 00:37:51,824
that Israel is developing
this iron beam technology...
590
00:37:52,092 --> 00:37:54,941
...because they realized
that atomic weapons...
591
00:37:55,031 --> 00:37:56,896
...were far too destructive.
592
00:37:58,522 --> 00:38:02,286
Is it possible that Tesla
developed a time viewing...
593
00:38:02,376 --> 00:38:04,280
...or time travel technology?
594
00:38:05,115 --> 00:38:08,240
And that he became aware
of these developments.
595
00:38:10,237 --> 00:38:12,441
Tesla was once quoted as saying,
596
00:38:12,531 --> 00:38:14,312
"The present is theirs,"
597
00:38:14,603 --> 00:38:17,760
"but the future
for which I have really worked, is mine."
598
00:38:18,773 --> 00:38:21,520
Did Tesla in fact see into the future?
599
00:38:24,629 --> 00:38:29,320
Might Iron Beam be proof that plans
for the Death Ray not only existed,
600
00:38:29,727 --> 00:38:31,807
but also may have
even been confiscated...
601
00:38:31,897 --> 00:38:34,560
...and carried out
by the United States government?
602
00:38:39,365 --> 00:38:41,830
There are those who believe
that Nikola Tesla...
603
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,044
...was not only in contact
with extraterrestrials,
604
00:38:45,692 --> 00:38:49,315
but was sent here to Earth by them
to fulfil a mission...
605
00:38:49,405 --> 00:38:52,440
...and usher in a new age for mankind.
606
00:38:53,353 --> 00:38:55,640
One of the big questions is, who is Tesla?
607
00:38:56,270 --> 00:38:58,802
Is he, in a sense, an avatar,
an enlightened being...
608
00:38:58,892 --> 00:39:01,600
...that comes to the Earth to help humans?
609
00:39:02,847 --> 00:39:04,569
No one really knows exactly
what's going on.
610
00:39:04,659 --> 00:39:08,016
But I think all great artists,
and Tesla saw himself as an artist,
611
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,623
feel that they are instruments
of a higher purpose.
612
00:39:10,713 --> 00:39:14,040
And Tesla certainly felt
that he was working along those lines.
613
00:39:14,861 --> 00:39:17,560
There is an agenda for humanity.
There is a plan.
614
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,035
And in every generation,
615
00:39:20,574 --> 00:39:22,640
whatever power it is
that's behind the plan,
616
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:26,920
sends to Earth certain specific souls...
617
00:39:27,415 --> 00:39:30,854
...who are by birth more inclined...
618
00:39:30,944 --> 00:39:35,160
...and able to be receptors
to the higher knowledge.
619
00:39:38,943 --> 00:39:42,649
You have to wonder
if Tesla was transplanted to Earth...
620
00:39:42,739 --> 00:39:44,287
...by extraterrestrials,
621
00:39:44,377 --> 00:39:47,890
in order to envision and invent...
622
00:39:47,980 --> 00:39:50,775
...all of these amazing devices.
623
00:39:51,747 --> 00:39:56,670
If extraterrestrials put Tesla in place
for a specific purpose,
624
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,218
did they accomplish
what they hope to achieve?
625
00:39:59,666 --> 00:40:01,244
The answer may be no.
626
00:40:01,836 --> 00:40:03,951
Because if Tesla's technologies...
627
00:40:04,041 --> 00:40:05,960
...had been openly acknowledged
here on Earth,
628
00:40:06,885 --> 00:40:08,589
we could have greened the deserts.
629
00:40:08,679 --> 00:40:12,865
We could be desalinating ocean water
with tabletop energy levels.
630
00:40:13,060 --> 00:40:15,724
We could have a totally new
and different world...
631
00:40:15,814 --> 00:40:17,899
...in which we don't have to pay
for energy,
632
00:40:18,493 --> 00:40:22,543
in which we have anti-gravity craft,
in which we have teleportation technology,
633
00:40:22,633 --> 00:40:27,268
and in which we truly have become
a golden age here on Earth.
634
00:40:27,532 --> 00:40:28,680
That has not happened.
635
00:40:31,495 --> 00:40:37,107
Is it possible that Nikola Tesla really
was influenced by otherworldly beings?
636
00:40:38,609 --> 00:40:42,802
Might he have been inspired to carry out
an extraterrestrial experiment,
637
00:40:43,101 --> 00:40:45,939
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
638
00:40:47,694 --> 00:40:52,953
And could it be that mankind was not ready
to receive this advanced knowledge?
639
00:40:54,909 --> 00:40:55,966
Perhaps.
640
00:40:57,060 --> 00:41:00,012
But if such an audacious notion is true,
641
00:41:00,102 --> 00:41:03,275
then is it possible
that we are now on the threshold...
642
00:41:03,365 --> 00:41:05,344
...of completing his experiment?
643
00:41:06,323 --> 00:41:11,119
And in doing so, might we reconnect
not only with Tesla's genius,
644
00:41:11,898 --> 00:41:16,891
but with an alien intelligence
that stretches throughout the galaxy?
