1
00:00:02,228 --> 00:00:03,243
Narrator:
Mysterious encounters
2
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:05,229
Reported in the same locations
3
00:00:05,247 --> 00:00:06,897
For thousands of years.
4
00:00:06,915 --> 00:00:09,174
Giorgio tsoukalos:
In delphi, you see
5
00:00:09,401 --> 00:00:12,160
Aerial phenomena
that can be traced back
6
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:15,072
All the way to ancient times.
7
00:00:15,165 --> 00:00:18,166
Narrator:
Places where mass ufo sightings
8
00:00:18,185 --> 00:00:20,001
Are a common occurrence.
9
00:00:20,095 --> 00:00:21,669
William henry:
The hudson valley
10
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:24,857
Exploded with sightings of ufos.
11
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:28,418
Philip imbrogno:
We're not talking about one
or two people seeing something.
12
00:00:28,512 --> 00:00:31,271
The number of witnesses
go into the thousands.
13
00:00:31,423 --> 00:00:34,516
Narrator:
Areas known for even stranger
14
00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:37,094
And often disturbing phenomena.
15
00:00:37,112 --> 00:00:39,020
Skinwalker ranch is a place
16
00:00:39,114 --> 00:00:42,282
That produces anomalous lights,
17
00:00:42,376 --> 00:00:44,025
We have cow mutilations,
18
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:46,027
Portals opening up,
19
00:00:46,047 --> 00:00:49,106
Giant wolves coming
out of these portals.
20
00:00:49,124 --> 00:00:52,033
Narrator:
Could so-called ufo hot spots
21
00:00:52,127 --> 00:00:54,869
Reveal important clues about
22
00:00:54,963 --> 00:00:56,704
An alien presence on earth?
23
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:59,633
Nick pope:
I think these hot spots
24
00:00:59,727 --> 00:01:01,618
Are hugely significant
25
00:01:01,711 --> 00:01:04,521
For our understanding of ufos.
26
00:01:06,975 --> 00:01:09,068
Narrator:
There is a doorway
27
00:01:09,219 --> 00:01:12,053
In the universe.
28
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:14,907
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
29
00:01:16,635 --> 00:01:18,652
It demands
we question everything
30
00:01:18,804 --> 00:01:20,987
We have ever been taught.
31
00:01:21,082 --> 00:01:25,309
The evidence is all around us.
32
00:01:25,327 --> 00:01:28,736
The future is
right before our eyes.
33
00:01:28,831 --> 00:01:31,406
We are not alone.
34
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:34,885
We have never been alone.
35
00:01:42,678 --> 00:01:46,939
San diego. July 15, 2019.
36
00:01:48,334 --> 00:01:49,942
In the middle of
an otherwise peaceful night,
37
00:01:50,169 --> 00:01:54,429
The uss omaha combat
information center
38
00:01:54,523 --> 00:01:56,115
Records an astonishing event
39
00:01:56,342 --> 00:01:58,433
Off the coast of
southern california.
40
00:01:58,452 --> 00:02:02,012
An unidentified,
oval-shaped craft
41
00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:04,681
Is witnessed performing
mysterious maneuvers
42
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:09,035
In restricted airspace
around a u.S. Navy destroyer.
43
00:02:09,188 --> 00:02:11,296
It is an amazing piece
of footage
44
00:02:11,523 --> 00:02:14,299
Showing a ufo
hovering over the sea.
45
00:02:17,454 --> 00:02:19,388
Pope: And then, apparently,
descending into the ocean.
46
00:02:22,143 --> 00:02:25,126
Narrator:
When the footage
is leaked to the public
47
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:28,981
By investigative filmmaker
jeremy corbell two years later,
48
00:02:29,132 --> 00:02:32,943
Its authenticity is quickly
confirmed by the pentagon.
49
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:36,380
Jeremy corbell:
I knew that it would
strike a chord.
50
00:02:36,398 --> 00:02:37,881
You can see the structure
51
00:02:37,974 --> 00:02:39,741
Of the craft being
oval or circular.
52
00:02:41,311 --> 00:02:43,887
You can see that it doesn't
have these plumes of exhaust
53
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:46,223
Or heat trails or any
traditional propulsion.
54
00:02:46,316 --> 00:02:48,909
What you're seeing
is a technology
55
00:02:49,061 --> 00:02:51,003
That is so far advanced
56
00:02:51,154 --> 00:02:53,154
From anything that
we have ever created
57
00:02:53,248 --> 00:02:55,007
Or shown in the theater of war,
58
00:02:55,234 --> 00:02:57,259
Which is where we show
our greatest technologies.
59
00:02:58,846 --> 00:03:01,180
Narrator:
The strange incident
was more than intriguing
60
00:03:01,407 --> 00:03:03,590
To ufo researchers,
61
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:05,517
Not only because of
how the craft maneuvered,
62
00:03:05,744 --> 00:03:09,646
But also because of
the area where it appeared.
63
00:03:11,266 --> 00:03:13,841
Andrew collins:
Off the coast of
san diego in california
64
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:17,529
Is somewhere that ufos or uaps
65
00:03:17,756 --> 00:03:21,091
Have been appearing
regularly for decades.
66
00:03:21,184 --> 00:03:23,851
Narrator:
Since 1995,
67
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:26,263
More than 1,000 ufo sightings
68
00:03:26,281 --> 00:03:29,208
Have been reported
in the san diego area.
69
00:03:29,359 --> 00:03:32,936
Ralph blumenthal:
All these reports of sightings
were not just made up.
70
00:03:32,955 --> 00:03:34,046
They can be photographed.
71
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:36,364
There's something up there,
72
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:38,032
And sometimes down in the water,
73
00:03:38,052 --> 00:03:39,551
That no one understands.
74
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:43,113
More and more, the military
75
00:03:43,206 --> 00:03:45,799
Is acknowledging
that it's interested,
76
00:03:45,893 --> 00:03:49,953
Giving credibility to the fact
that these things exist.
77
00:03:50,046 --> 00:03:54,048
Bill birnes:
When you realize
that the san diego naval base
78
00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:57,069
Is one of the most
restricted naval bases,
79
00:03:57,220 --> 00:04:00,388
Restricted areas,
in the country,
80
00:04:00,482 --> 00:04:04,534
Ufos are flying back and forth
over the ships, over the base.
81
00:04:05,804 --> 00:04:08,138
Narrator:
The number of ufo reports
82
00:04:08,156 --> 00:04:11,899
Occurring in san diego
may appear quite significant.
83
00:04:11,994 --> 00:04:14,644
However, it is just one
84
00:04:14,663 --> 00:04:17,405
Of several locations
around the globe
85
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,649
Where similar incidents
are often reported
86
00:04:19,668 --> 00:04:21,426
And documented.
87
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:26,598
Locations that have come
to be known as ufo hot spots.
88
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:29,843
A ufo hot spot is
a physical space
89
00:04:29,937 --> 00:04:34,439
Where sightings of unusual
aerial phenomena are common.
90
00:04:36,018 --> 00:04:40,687
There's usually a perceivable
unusual energy at the site.
91
00:04:40,781 --> 00:04:44,074
There's been a long history
of sightings at these places.
92
00:04:45,602 --> 00:04:50,122
Collins: Ufo hot spots
are places where ufos occur
93
00:04:50,349 --> 00:04:55,460
Not just across a few years
but across decades.
94
00:04:55,687 --> 00:04:58,038
And of course
the question becomes,
95
00:04:58,190 --> 00:05:00,190
You know, why are
these places so important?
96
00:05:00,283 --> 00:05:04,361
Why is it that ufos
can appear at them
97
00:05:04,379 --> 00:05:06,722
More frequently
than anywhere else?
98
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:12,536
Imbrogno: One well-known
hot spot in the united states
99
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:16,056
Is the hudson valley
in new york state.
100
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:19,709
Here, we not only have
dozens of witnesses,
101
00:05:19,728 --> 00:05:21,469
But over a period of years,
102
00:05:21,563 --> 00:05:24,156
We have thousands of witnesses.
103
00:05:25,884 --> 00:05:29,219
Craig campobasso:
Marfa is this mountain range
104
00:05:29,237 --> 00:05:30,978
In texas,
105
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:34,833
And it's these
strange anomalous lights
106
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:38,003
That nobody has ever
been able to figure out.
107
00:05:39,231 --> 00:05:41,823
It's such a hot spot
108
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:44,901
That the actual state of texas
109
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,571
Built a viewing station
110
00:05:47,664 --> 00:05:50,331
Where people can stop and rest
111
00:05:50,425 --> 00:05:52,934
And watch the marfa lights
at night.
112
00:05:54,596 --> 00:05:56,246
Henry: The bermuda triangle
113
00:05:56,339 --> 00:05:59,749
Is also a well-known
hot spot as well.
114
00:05:59,843 --> 00:06:02,752
Wiltshire, England is another.
115
00:06:02,846 --> 00:06:06,423
Sedona has become
a very popular hot spot.
116
00:06:06,441 --> 00:06:09,534
And skinwalker ranch
in northern utah
117
00:06:09,761 --> 00:06:12,112
Is an outstanding
example of a hot spot.
118
00:06:12,264 --> 00:06:15,540
Native americans
have said for centuries
119
00:06:15,692 --> 00:06:17,283
That this is a place
where supernatural
120
00:06:17,436 --> 00:06:19,452
Ufo activity occurs.
121
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:22,439
It seems that a large proportion
122
00:06:22,457 --> 00:06:25,125
Of sightings of ufos or uaps
123
00:06:25,219 --> 00:06:28,220
In the modern world
do take place at-at hot spots.
124
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:32,298
Narrator:
The perception of
so-called ufo hot spots
125
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:34,467
Emerged in the aftermath
126
00:06:34,561 --> 00:06:37,562
Of two of the most highly
publicized ufo incidents
127
00:06:37,714 --> 00:06:40,047
In u.S. History,
which both took place
128
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,526
In 1947.
129
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:49,132
On June 27, near mount rainier
in washington state,
130
00:06:49,151 --> 00:06:52,152
Pilot kenneth arnold
reported seeing
131
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:53,895
Nine saucer-shaped craft
132
00:06:53,989 --> 00:06:56,081
Flying in a coordinated pattern
133
00:06:56,232 --> 00:06:59,876
At a speed of approximately
1,200 miles per hour.
134
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:05,573
Just one month later,
the infamous report
135
00:07:05,667 --> 00:07:07,984
Of a ufo crash took place
136
00:07:08,003 --> 00:07:09,928
In roswell, new mexico.
137
00:07:11,657 --> 00:07:14,582
Linda moulton howe:
The July 8,
138
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:17,343
1947, headline
139
00:07:17,438 --> 00:07:19,396
Went around the world.
140
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,016
In the roswell daily record,
141
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,593
"flying saucer crashes
142
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:28,864
Into a pasture near roswell."
143
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:33,009
You start looking
at the timeline,
144
00:07:33,102 --> 00:07:35,954
And what was happening
through 1947
145
00:07:36,181 --> 00:07:38,348
And beyond.
146
00:07:38,366 --> 00:07:39,791
Our government,
147
00:07:39,943 --> 00:07:42,535
And other governments,
were developing
148
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:45,188
Gigantic, huge storage
149
00:07:45,281 --> 00:07:47,707
And files and folders
and departments
150
00:07:47,859 --> 00:07:50,117
That were dedicated
to the secret study
151
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:53,763
Of ufos and ets on our planet.
152
00:07:57,219 --> 00:07:59,369
Narrator:
Over the next two decades,
153
00:07:59,462 --> 00:08:01,462
Thousands of
additional ufo sightings
154
00:08:01,556 --> 00:08:03,556
Were reported around the world,
155
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:05,875
Prompting the u.S. Government
156
00:08:05,969 --> 00:08:08,487
To launch an investigation
into the phenomenon.
157
00:08:08,638 --> 00:08:12,232
The study was given the code
name "project blue book,"
158
00:08:12,326 --> 00:08:16,236
And while the program's official
findings were not definitive,
159
00:08:16,388 --> 00:08:20,073
A startling trend
appeared in the data.
160
00:08:20,225 --> 00:08:22,334
Mike ricksecker:
The renowned j. Allen hynek,
161
00:08:22,485 --> 00:08:24,394
Of project blue book fame,
162
00:08:24,412 --> 00:08:27,413
Wrote there's
a statistical analysis
163
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:31,251
That showed when and where
these occurrences happened,
164
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:33,494
And a pattern started to emerge,
165
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:35,405
Such as ufo sightings,
166
00:08:35,498 --> 00:08:38,016
Lights in the sky,
anomalous activity,
167
00:08:38,243 --> 00:08:40,352
In the american southwest,
the northeast,
168
00:08:40,579 --> 00:08:42,837
The mississippi valley,
and ufo researchers
169
00:08:42,931 --> 00:08:44,189
Took notice of this
170
00:08:44,416 --> 00:08:45,506
And began to flock
to those areas
171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,025
To conduct their research.
172
00:08:48,344 --> 00:08:50,603
Researchers in the '50s
and the '60s,
173
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:52,756
They went back through the data,
174
00:08:52,774 --> 00:08:55,275
And sometimes, literally,
they would get out
175
00:08:55,427 --> 00:08:58,595
A map, and x marks the spot.
176
00:08:58,613 --> 00:09:00,705
And then they would notice,
177
00:09:00,932 --> 00:09:03,616
Wait a minute,
there are these clusters,
178
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:06,119
These strange hot spots.
179
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:09,214
Areas where these events
180
00:09:09,441 --> 00:09:12,125
Seem-seem to pile up
181
00:09:12,277 --> 00:09:13,677
For no apparent reason.
182
00:09:15,371 --> 00:09:17,204
Birnes:
What researchers realized
183
00:09:17,299 --> 00:09:20,116
Was that 60% to 70%
184
00:09:20,135 --> 00:09:22,043
Of ufo sightings in america,
185
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,470
Turn up in the same spots
over and over again.
186
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,790
And they realized
187
00:09:26,883 --> 00:09:29,550
That there was something
about those spots
188
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:31,795
That was drawing ufo.
189
00:09:31,813 --> 00:09:34,297
Ricksecker:
If we're trying
to solve a mystery,
190
00:09:34,316 --> 00:09:37,558
You want to go to a location
that has the most clues.
191
00:09:37,578 --> 00:09:39,744
And these are the locations
that could have the clues
192
00:09:39,896 --> 00:09:42,972
To connect our ancient
past to our modern reality,
193
00:09:43,066 --> 00:09:44,708
And perhaps give us
the answers we're seeking.
194
00:09:46,478 --> 00:09:49,312
Narrator:
Could there really be
certain locations on earth
195
00:09:49,405 --> 00:09:52,148
That attract
extraterrestrial visitors,
196
00:09:52,241 --> 00:09:54,509
As ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
197
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:58,504
Perhaps further clues
can be found
198
00:09:58,657 --> 00:10:02,342
By examining what reportedly
took place at one such location,
199
00:10:02,494 --> 00:10:04,327
Not in modern times,
200
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:07,522
But thousands
of years ago in israel.
201
00:10:14,172 --> 00:10:17,282
Narrator:
October, 2000.
202
00:10:18,693 --> 00:10:21,102
While building a road
just east of the city,
203
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:23,771
A construction crew
discovers the entrance
204
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:26,683
To an ancient
limestone cave dwelling.
205
00:10:26,701 --> 00:10:29,535
Archaeologists soon begin
206
00:10:29,688 --> 00:10:32,038
Excavating the site,
known as the qesem cave,
207
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:34,524
And are shocked to determine
208
00:10:34,542 --> 00:10:38,803
That it was inhabited by
human beings 400,000 years ago.
209
00:10:41,290 --> 00:10:43,533
Collins:
What archaeologists found
210
00:10:43,626 --> 00:10:45,885
Was a time capsule
of human activity
211
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:49,296
From around 400,000 years ago,
212
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:51,891
Down to about 200,000 years ago.
213
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:55,654
And when they started
to investigate the cave,
214
00:10:55,881 --> 00:10:58,231
They realized that
the so-called qesem people
215
00:10:58,383 --> 00:11:02,402
Were practicing shamanism
at this early stage.
216
00:11:02,554 --> 00:11:06,406
Narrator:
Evidence from the cave
shows that the qesem people
217
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,984
Had skills considered
impossible for that time,
218
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:13,897
Including the ability
to make and use fire at will,
219
00:11:13,915 --> 00:11:16,490
Craft stone tools
220
00:11:16,584 --> 00:11:18,843
And even preserve food.
221
00:11:20,329 --> 00:11:22,681
But why did early humans
with such advanced abilities
222
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:26,000
Choose to inhabit
this particular cave,
223
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:30,188
And live there
for more than 200,000 years?
224
00:11:30,339 --> 00:11:33,841
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer may lie
225
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:35,694
In the fact that the qesem cave
226
00:11:35,921 --> 00:11:38,512
Sits in the shadow
of mount gerizim,
227
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:40,681
Where mysterious
aerial phenomena
228
00:11:40,701 --> 00:11:43,493
Have been reported
for thousands of years.
229
00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:47,521
Newman:
Mount gerizim in israel
230
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:50,783
Was considered the original
dwelling place of god
231
00:11:50,936 --> 00:11:52,877
In the old hebrew bible.
232
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:58,107
And god's presence would take
the form of a shekinah,
233
00:11:58,201 --> 00:11:59,718
Or some kind of bright light
234
00:11:59,869 --> 00:12:02,053
That would emanate
from this mountain.
235
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,965
The earliest biblical patriarchs
236
00:12:06,117 --> 00:12:07,800
Came to this mountain,
237
00:12:07,953 --> 00:12:11,730
And had visions
of the blinding lights,
238
00:12:11,957 --> 00:12:14,733
What we'd call
ufos or uaps today.
239
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:18,552
Mount gerizim
has been a hot spot
240
00:12:18,572 --> 00:12:20,071
Where mysterious lights appear
241
00:12:20,223 --> 00:12:22,240
Both in modern times
and historically.
242
00:12:23,635 --> 00:12:25,818
For example,
in the 1720s an english cleric
243
00:12:25,971 --> 00:12:27,470
By the name of thomas shore
244
00:12:27,489 --> 00:12:29,655
Was exploring the vicinity
of mount gerizim,
245
00:12:29,808 --> 00:12:31,975
And he and his team saw this
246
00:12:32,068 --> 00:12:34,994
Incredible light phenomena
around the mountain.
247
00:12:35,146 --> 00:12:37,663
Collins:
He referred to it
as "ignis fatuus,"
248
00:12:37,758 --> 00:12:40,074
Which means, "the foolish fire."
249
00:12:40,168 --> 00:12:42,927
And he observed this for hours,
250
00:12:43,079 --> 00:12:47,098
Changing different forms,
coming forward, going backwards.
251
00:12:47,325 --> 00:12:49,008
Narrator:
Thomas shore's encounter
at mount gerizim
252
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,827
Is just one of many
253
00:12:50,845 --> 00:12:52,996
That have been reported
over the centuries,
254
00:12:53,014 --> 00:12:56,332
Including sightings
in modern times.
255
00:12:56,425 --> 00:12:58,259
Collins:
An english journalist
256
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,094
By the name of wilkins
257
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:03,764
Wrote a book entitled
flying saucers uncensored.
258
00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:07,176
And this talks
about a group of bedouin
259
00:13:07,270 --> 00:13:11,030
In the vicinity of
mount gerizim in the 1950s,
260
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:13,533
Encountering this strange object
261
00:13:13,627 --> 00:13:16,352
Which was interpreted
262
00:13:16,445 --> 00:13:19,255
In terms of a flying saucer.
263
00:13:20,616 --> 00:13:24,118
Wanting to confirm
that ufos are still seen
264
00:13:24,212 --> 00:13:26,863
In the area
of mount gerizim today,
265
00:13:26,881 --> 00:13:28,956
I climbed the mountain,
266
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:33,144
And I was able to speak with one
of the highest-ranking priests
267
00:13:33,296 --> 00:13:37,223
Of the samaritan community
who lived there to this day.
268
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:40,393
And he was able to confirm that,
269
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:44,572
Indeed, strange, mysterious
lights are seen there.
270
00:13:46,642 --> 00:13:48,551
Narrator:
Considering the long history
271
00:13:48,570 --> 00:13:51,721
Of strange lights being
reported over mount gerizim,
272
00:13:51,739 --> 00:13:54,481
Is it possible
that extraterrestrials
273
00:13:54,576 --> 00:13:56,483
Have been visiting
the same locations
274
00:13:56,578 --> 00:13:58,169
For thousands of years?
275
00:13:59,655 --> 00:14:02,156
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
276
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:06,736
And suggest that ufo hot spots
can even help explain
277
00:14:06,754 --> 00:14:09,755
Several mysteries
of the ancient past,
278
00:14:09,908 --> 00:14:11,999
Including why certain sites
279
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:15,928
Are designated as places
of spiritual worship,
280
00:14:16,081 --> 00:14:19,265
And why some of
the most enigmatic temples
281
00:14:19,417 --> 00:14:22,435
And monuments in the world
were created.
282
00:14:22,587 --> 00:14:25,012
Ricksecker:
In ancient times, strange lights
283
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:27,699
Were seen repeatedly
in the same locations,
284
00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:31,427
And in a number of cases,
these areas were marked
285
00:14:31,446 --> 00:14:35,114
By some sort of
monuments to memorialize
286
00:14:35,266 --> 00:14:38,209
These beings and these gods
visiting the people.
287
00:14:39,454 --> 00:14:41,695
Tsoukalos:
The reason why delphi, greece,
288
00:14:41,789 --> 00:14:43,623
Became a place of worship
289
00:14:43,775 --> 00:14:46,959
Is because local legends say
290
00:14:47,112 --> 00:14:50,204
That someone descended
from the sky there
291
00:14:50,298 --> 00:14:52,965
And imparted knowledge.
292
00:14:53,118 --> 00:14:54,800
Now, in my opinion,
293
00:14:54,895 --> 00:14:58,621
You would not build
something of that scale
294
00:14:58,714 --> 00:15:01,065
If it really didn't happen.
295
00:15:01,217 --> 00:15:03,476
And in the area of delphi,
296
00:15:03,628 --> 00:15:06,053
To this day,
you see aerial phenomena
297
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,980
That are very strange.
298
00:15:08,133 --> 00:15:10,557
Narrator:
Much like delphi,
299
00:15:10,652 --> 00:15:12,911
The ancient site
of stonehenge is a place
300
00:15:13,062 --> 00:15:16,730
Where ufos are frequently
reported today.
301
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:19,751
A photo of a disk-shaped object
302
00:15:19,978 --> 00:15:21,920
Hovering over
the megalithic structure
303
00:15:22,071 --> 00:15:25,572
Was even included in a british
ministry of defence file
304
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:29,243
That was declassified in 2009.
305
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:31,412
Stonehenge is a great example
306
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:34,157
Of a ufo hot spot in England.
307
00:15:34,175 --> 00:15:36,100
Over the lifetime
308
00:15:36,252 --> 00:15:38,752
Of the ministry
of defence's ufo project,
309
00:15:38,846 --> 00:15:41,773
There have probably been
several hundred,
310
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,108
If not low thousands,
of sightings
311
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:47,019
Recorded around stonehenge
312
00:15:47,172 --> 00:15:49,280
In the county of wiltshire.
313
00:15:51,342 --> 00:15:53,192
Narrator: Ancient
native american sites
314
00:15:53,344 --> 00:15:55,769
Where petroglyphs
depict strange beings
315
00:15:55,863 --> 00:15:58,347
Often identified
as "star ancestors,"
316
00:15:58,441 --> 00:16:02,852
Have also become ufo
hot spots in modern times.
317
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:05,855
David childress:
Rock art at these ancient sites
318
00:16:05,948 --> 00:16:10,284
Depicts a multitude
of strange beings,
319
00:16:10,378 --> 00:16:13,287
Large eyes, elongated heads,
320
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:17,475
Often looking like some kind
of extraterrestrial creation.
321
00:16:19,128 --> 00:16:22,796
And it would seem
that these ancient sites
322
00:16:22,890 --> 00:16:27,986
Have been having ufo activity
for thousands of years.
323
00:16:28,213 --> 00:16:33,324
And this ufo activity
is continuing even today.
324
00:16:37,739 --> 00:16:42,000
Collins:
One very good example
is lake titicaca,
325
00:16:42,227 --> 00:16:44,727
On the borders between
peru and bolivia.
326
00:16:44,746 --> 00:16:48,064
There's an island there
327
00:16:48,082 --> 00:16:50,508
By the name of
the island of the sun,
328
00:16:50,735 --> 00:16:53,252
And this is well-known
for strange lights
329
00:16:53,404 --> 00:16:54,762
Rising up out of it.
330
00:16:56,574 --> 00:16:58,257
They've been seen,
uh, by locals,
331
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,501
They've been seen by visitors.
332
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,337
The island of the sun
is also seen
333
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:05,598
As the point of creation
334
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:10,194
By the local aymara and quechua
peoples of the region,
335
00:17:10,346 --> 00:17:14,106
And what they say
is that the sun
336
00:17:14,259 --> 00:17:17,035
Rose up out of that
island, into the air.
337
00:17:18,946 --> 00:17:21,597
Birnes:
There are ancient hot spots
that are modern hot spots,
338
00:17:21,616 --> 00:17:23,766
And when you draw a map
339
00:17:23,859 --> 00:17:27,270
Of all the hot spots
around the world,
340
00:17:27,363 --> 00:17:29,455
What you find
is that the ancients
341
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:31,957
And the moderns are the same.
342
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:34,552
It never went away.
343
00:17:35,889 --> 00:17:38,723
Pope:
Is there something
about these sites
344
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:41,559
That attracts ufos?
345
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:44,228
It's maybe why
the ancients built them
346
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:46,564
In those locations
in the first place.
347
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:51,885
Narrator:
Is it possible that
mysterious ancient sites
348
00:17:51,905 --> 00:17:53,071
Such as mount gerizim,
349
00:17:53,298 --> 00:17:55,222
Stonehenge,
350
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:56,799
Chaco canyon,
351
00:17:56,818 --> 00:17:58,467
And many others
352
00:17:58,486 --> 00:18:01,895
Offer evidence
that extraterrestrials
353
00:18:01,915 --> 00:18:04,657
May have been visiting earth
for thousands of years
354
00:18:04,809 --> 00:18:06,751
At very specific locations?
355
00:18:06,902 --> 00:18:09,087
If so, why?
356
00:18:10,406 --> 00:18:12,406
Ancient astronaut
theorists believe
357
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:13,907
That the answer may be found
358
00:18:13,927 --> 00:18:16,669
By looking not toward the sky,
359
00:18:16,763 --> 00:18:19,722
But deep underground.
360
00:18:28,499 --> 00:18:29,756
Narrator:
Kent cliffs, new york,
361
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:32,944
New year's eve, 1982.
362
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,022
Shortly before midnight
in this small town
363
00:18:37,175 --> 00:18:38,932
Just north of new york city,
364
00:18:39,026 --> 00:18:41,101
New year's eve revelers
365
00:18:41,195 --> 00:18:42,436
Are struck by the sight
366
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,029
Of an unusual aircraft
367
00:18:44,182 --> 00:18:46,273
In the sky.
368
00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:49,794
The ship appears to be
as large as a commercial jet,
369
00:18:49,945 --> 00:18:51,612
But has a v-shape,
370
00:18:51,631 --> 00:18:54,781
Moves slowly,
and makes no sound.
371
00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:59,028
The incident is the first
in a wave of ufo sightings
372
00:18:59,121 --> 00:19:01,213
That would shake
the surrounding area,
373
00:19:01,366 --> 00:19:03,558
Known as the hudson valley.
374
00:19:04,869 --> 00:19:08,980
The hudson valley
is your classic hot spot.
375
00:19:09,131 --> 00:19:13,967
Here, ufos appeared
from 1983 to 1986,
376
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:16,904
And was witnessed
by thousands of people.
377
00:19:18,974 --> 00:19:21,717
A triangular,
boomerang-shape object,
378
00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:24,829
Very well-lit, flew very low
379
00:19:25,056 --> 00:19:26,330
Over the community,
380
00:19:26,557 --> 00:19:30,984
And it was
photographed, videotaped,
381
00:19:31,004 --> 00:19:34,079
And it was seen from people
from all walks of life
382
00:19:34,232 --> 00:19:36,990
Who were sure
they saw something strange
383
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:39,343
That was not from this planet.
384
00:19:40,922 --> 00:19:44,164
This caused people to
pull off the side of the road
385
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:46,184
And actually start calling home,
386
00:19:46,411 --> 00:19:48,835
Thinking there was
some type of an invasion.
387
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:51,689
And they were executive doctors,
388
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,008
Scientists and so on,
meteorologists,
389
00:19:55,102 --> 00:19:56,527
And they all reported something
390
00:19:56,754 --> 00:19:58,103
That they have
never seen before.
391
00:19:58,256 --> 00:20:00,773
Narrator:
Over the span of three years,
392
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:03,776
Officials received
more than 9,000 reports
393
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:07,705
From eyewitnesses describing
the same, v-shaped craft.
394
00:20:09,191 --> 00:20:11,858
Not only was there a ufo
sighting in hudson valley,
395
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:16,005
But it came back night
after night after night.
396
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:21,034
Imbrogno: These are people who
would not normally come forward
397
00:20:21,128 --> 00:20:23,387
To say that they saw a ufo.
398
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,067
Imbrogno:
Yet, what they saw
399
00:20:36,218 --> 00:20:38,903
Was so convincing
and so frightening to them,
400
00:20:39,130 --> 00:20:43,466
That they went on record
to report what they saw.
401
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:45,076
I mean, it's just amazing.
402
00:20:47,062 --> 00:20:48,412
Narrator:
During the two-year wave
403
00:20:48,564 --> 00:20:50,639
Of ufo sightings
in the hudson valley,
404
00:20:50,658 --> 00:20:54,159
Author philip imbrogno
investigated the area
405
00:20:54,312 --> 00:20:56,921
On behalf of
the center for ufo studies,
406
00:20:57,148 --> 00:20:59,648
Which was founded
by j. Allen hynek
407
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:01,759
After his work
with project blue book.
408
00:21:03,321 --> 00:21:05,504
Imbrogno conducted
hundreds of interviews
409
00:21:05,656 --> 00:21:07,431
With residents of the area,
410
00:21:07,583 --> 00:21:10,101
And even witnessed
the v-shaped craft himself.
411
00:21:11,587 --> 00:21:13,162
Imbrogno:
This object,
412
00:21:13,255 --> 00:21:16,256
Whatever it was,
the size of a football field,
413
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:19,259
Came over the highways
and hovered,
414
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:23,930
And, at times, projected down
a brilliant beam of white light.
415
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,950
Usually, ufo researchers
416
00:21:26,177 --> 00:21:28,193
Don't see the ufo that
they're investigating.
417
00:21:28,288 --> 00:21:30,454
I saw this object three times.
418
00:21:31,849 --> 00:21:33,791
So, it was amazing.
419
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:38,779
Narrator: As imbrogno spent
months crisscrossing the area,
420
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:41,357
He noticed something curious:
421
00:21:41,375 --> 00:21:44,284
The volume of mysterious
reports during this time
422
00:21:44,304 --> 00:21:47,471
Were not only focused on
a strange craft in the sky,
423
00:21:47,623 --> 00:21:50,215
But also on bizarre sounds
424
00:21:50,368 --> 00:21:53,311
Coming from somewhere
deep below ground.
425
00:21:56,541 --> 00:21:59,375
Henry:
People start to wonder
why are these hot spots
426
00:21:59,468 --> 00:22:01,060
Hot spots?
427
00:22:01,212 --> 00:22:03,062
And one explanation is that
428
00:22:03,214 --> 00:22:05,898
What is actually going on
is underneath the ground.
429
00:22:06,050 --> 00:22:08,975
That these hot spots
are in fact entrances
430
00:22:08,995 --> 00:22:12,330
To vast underground caverns,
or even secret bases.
431
00:22:13,982 --> 00:22:16,909
Campobasso:
In the hudson river there,
especially in the '80s,
432
00:22:17,003 --> 00:22:18,669
I spoke to a few researchers,
433
00:22:18,821 --> 00:22:21,246
And they said that
the locals used to hear things
434
00:22:21,399 --> 00:22:23,674
Coming up from underground,
435
00:22:23,901 --> 00:22:26,585
And they weren't really
quite sure what it was,
436
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:28,587
But they figured there
was a base below ground.
437
00:22:28,681 --> 00:22:32,808
A military/alien base.
438
00:22:35,413 --> 00:22:36,929
Narrator:
Arguably, the most
famous sighting
439
00:22:37,023 --> 00:22:38,914
In the hudson valley hot spot
440
00:22:39,007 --> 00:22:41,007
Concerned beings
from underground,
441
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,843
As was the case
442
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:45,921
With best-selling horror
novelist whitley strieber,
443
00:22:46,014 --> 00:22:47,848
Who wrote about
his own experience
444
00:22:47,942 --> 00:22:50,117
In his book, communion.
445
00:22:51,687 --> 00:22:54,113
Whitley strieber:
My wife and I had
bought a cabin
446
00:22:54,265 --> 00:22:57,449
In the western extreme edge
of the whole hudson valley.
447
00:22:57,543 --> 00:23:01,194
And in December of 1985,
448
00:23:01,288 --> 00:23:05,274
I woke up in a room,
not my bedroom,
449
00:23:05,367 --> 00:23:06,959
In the middle of the night,
450
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:10,462
And the room was filled
with two kinds of figures.
451
00:23:10,556 --> 00:23:13,465
These willowy figures
with big black eyes,
452
00:23:13,618 --> 00:23:16,519
And dark blue short figures.
453
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,064
Then I began
to hear a voice say,
454
00:23:20,291 --> 00:23:22,566
"what can we do to
help you stop screaming?"
455
00:23:22,793 --> 00:23:24,819
And I thought, "I'm screaming?"
and I was screaming.
456
00:23:29,409 --> 00:23:31,817
And the next morning, I woke up
457
00:23:31,969 --> 00:23:34,319
Extremely confused
and disturbed,
458
00:23:34,414 --> 00:23:37,415
Without any real understanding
of what happened to me.
459
00:23:37,642 --> 00:23:40,251
Narrator:
While many presume
that streiber's
460
00:23:40,402 --> 00:23:43,403
Alien abductors
descended from the skies,
461
00:23:43,497 --> 00:23:47,758
In fact, he described
them as coming up from below,
462
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:50,502
And their presence
was marked by sounds
463
00:23:50,596 --> 00:23:52,263
Deep beneath his mountain cabin.
464
00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:56,600
Strieber:
In the cabin,
465
00:23:56,752 --> 00:23:59,437
We used to hear
drilling underground.
466
00:24:02,183 --> 00:24:04,349
And we could hear this
taking place under the cabin.
467
00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:06,944
In fact, it was so loud one day,
468
00:24:07,095 --> 00:24:09,021
I was sitting with
one of my neighbors
469
00:24:09,115 --> 00:24:11,840
And this sound kept coming up,
470
00:24:11,859 --> 00:24:13,692
And you could kind of
feel it in your teeth.
471
00:24:13,844 --> 00:24:15,194
It was not pleasant.
472
00:24:15,288 --> 00:24:18,681
(low buzzing)
473
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:23,461
Narrator:
The idea that hot spots mark
entrances to the underworld
474
00:24:23,688 --> 00:24:26,964
Is a phenomenon
seen across the planet.
475
00:24:27,115 --> 00:24:28,023
Childress: This can be
what's happening
476
00:24:28,042 --> 00:24:29,950
In, say, lake titicaca.
477
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:32,044
And then you have
other places like, say,
478
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,029
Mount shasta,
479
00:24:34,122 --> 00:24:36,548
Or certain volcanoes
in mexico,
480
00:24:36,642 --> 00:24:39,643
Where ufos are seen,
and there's a lot of activity.
481
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:43,314
Pope:
Where do people allege
482
00:24:43,541 --> 00:24:46,208
That there are
underground bases?
483
00:24:46,227 --> 00:24:47,876
Well, in new mexico, of course.
484
00:24:47,895 --> 00:24:50,070
And what do you have
in new mexico? Roswell.
485
00:24:51,157 --> 00:24:54,049
And it's alleged that there is
486
00:24:54,068 --> 00:24:56,719
A secret underground base
487
00:24:56,812 --> 00:24:58,996
Off the coast of san diego.
488
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:01,815
And, of course, that's the focus
489
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:04,409
Of a lot of the modern
ufo activity
490
00:25:04,562 --> 00:25:05,836
Involving the u.S. Navy.
491
00:25:07,915 --> 00:25:10,824
Narrator:
Could the strange sounds
reportedly emanating
492
00:25:10,918 --> 00:25:12,659
From beneath the hudson valley,
493
00:25:12,678 --> 00:25:16,238
And many other hot spots,
be evidence
494
00:25:16,257 --> 00:25:19,908
Of hidden underground
structures, as some speculate?
495
00:25:20,002 --> 00:25:22,520
Or might there be
another explanation
496
00:25:22,671 --> 00:25:26,190
For these areas
of high ufo activity?
497
00:25:26,417 --> 00:25:29,101
Perhaps further clues
can be found
498
00:25:29,195 --> 00:25:31,086
By examining the power
499
00:25:31,179 --> 00:25:33,447
Of earth's magnetic field.
500
00:25:43,376 --> 00:25:46,602
Narrator:
In this small town
outside of paris,
501
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:49,454
Numerous eyewitnesses
report several mysterious
502
00:25:49,607 --> 00:25:51,774
Oval-shaped craft
above the seine river,
503
00:25:51,792 --> 00:25:53,867
Traveling at great speeds
504
00:25:53,961 --> 00:25:56,887
Before suddenly vanishing
into thin air.
505
00:25:58,373 --> 00:26:02,226
It is the first of
more than 300 ufo incidents
506
00:26:02,453 --> 00:26:04,562
That would take place
in France during the year.
507
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:09,049
Journalist aimé michel
begins studying
508
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:11,569
The reported flight paths
of many of these accounts,
509
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,572
And makes
an astonishing observation.
510
00:26:16,150 --> 00:26:18,467
Newman:
All these ufo sightings
appeared to move
511
00:26:18,485 --> 00:26:21,486
In dead straight lines,
often crisscrossing.
512
00:26:21,639 --> 00:26:23,414
And as he kept getting
reports coming in,
513
00:26:23,565 --> 00:26:25,065
And he kept plotting them,
514
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:27,643
He kept finding
the same system happening,
515
00:26:27,661 --> 00:26:30,421
The same lines, the same
movements of these ufos.
516
00:26:31,999 --> 00:26:35,150
Narrator:
In 1958, michel
published his research
517
00:26:35,243 --> 00:26:39,171
In a book called flying saucers
and the straight-line mystery.
518
00:26:40,582 --> 00:26:44,326
In the book, he introduced
a principle he called orthoteny,
519
00:26:44,345 --> 00:26:46,753
Which held that clusters
of ufo activity
520
00:26:46,847 --> 00:26:49,181
Over a short period of time
521
00:26:49,333 --> 00:26:52,735
Usually occur along straight
lines that often intersect.
522
00:26:53,854 --> 00:26:55,354
Collins:
What aimé michel
523
00:26:55,506 --> 00:26:57,114
Started to realize was
524
00:26:57,265 --> 00:26:58,782
That there seemed
to be a pattern
525
00:26:58,934 --> 00:27:02,861
In where these objects
were appearing,
526
00:27:03,013 --> 00:27:05,197
And also their flight paths.
527
00:27:05,349 --> 00:27:09,609
He saw that they actually
use specific lanes,
528
00:27:09,703 --> 00:27:12,278
Which he felt were connected
529
00:27:12,298 --> 00:27:15,049
With the magnetic forces
of the earth.
530
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:21,287
Henry:
He's noticing that these ufos
are traveling in straight lines,
531
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:23,641
Using latitudes,
and that, in fact,
532
00:27:23,868 --> 00:27:27,202
This can be extrapolated
into an entire grid
533
00:27:27,295 --> 00:27:29,563
That encapsulates
the entire planet.
534
00:27:30,966 --> 00:27:33,150
Narrator:
Is it possible that aimé michel
535
00:27:33,301 --> 00:27:35,653
Successfully identified
a grid pattern
536
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,214
Across the earth
of highly magnetized regions
537
00:27:39,233 --> 00:27:42,409
That have come to be
known as ufo hot spots?
538
00:27:43,904 --> 00:27:46,738
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe that further clues
539
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:51,168
Can be found by examining an
area that has become notorious
540
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:54,129
For mysterious phenomena
and strange disappearances...
541
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:57,490
The bermuda triangle.
542
00:27:57,584 --> 00:27:58,992
Tsoukalos:
With the bermuda triangle,
543
00:27:59,086 --> 00:28:01,845
It is an irrefutable fact
544
00:28:01,997 --> 00:28:06,742
That planes and ships
of various sizes
545
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,812
Have disappeared
without a trace.
546
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:13,440
You also have
ufo and uap stories.
547
00:28:15,528 --> 00:28:18,529
Narrator:
In the last century,
roughly 50 ships
548
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,532
And 20 airplanes have vanished
without a trace
549
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:25,277
Within this infamous
500,000-square-mile stretch
550
00:28:25,429 --> 00:28:27,262
Of the atlantic ocean.
551
00:28:27,281 --> 00:28:29,707
According to scottish biologist
552
00:28:29,934 --> 00:28:32,951
And paranormal researcher
ivan t. Sanderson,
553
00:28:33,103 --> 00:28:36,696
The bermuda triangle
is just one of a strange
554
00:28:36,790 --> 00:28:39,124
And disturbing kind
of ufo hot spot
555
00:28:39,276 --> 00:28:43,387
That he described as
the world's 12 "vile vortices."
556
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,133
He was able to identify,
he believed,
557
00:28:48,285 --> 00:28:50,802
Certain spots like
the bermuda triangle,
558
00:28:50,896 --> 00:28:52,212
The dragon's triangle,
559
00:28:52,231 --> 00:28:55,140
Places like the great pyramid,
560
00:28:55,234 --> 00:28:58,293
And other huge monument areas,
561
00:28:58,312 --> 00:29:00,479
And there was activity
going on at these places,
562
00:29:00,631 --> 00:29:03,056
Disappearing ships
and airplanes,
563
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:04,983
Ufo activity,
564
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:08,637
Lights and unusual phenomenon
565
00:29:08,655 --> 00:29:10,497
That were occurring constantly.
566
00:29:12,234 --> 00:29:15,252
Narrator:
In his 1972 article entitled
567
00:29:15,403 --> 00:29:18,330
"the 12 devil's
graveyards around the world,"
568
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:22,000
Sanderson mapped these
sites at equidistant points
569
00:29:22,152 --> 00:29:23,910
Above and below the equator,
570
00:29:23,929 --> 00:29:26,171
And discovered
they formed a mysterious
571
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:30,434
Geometrical pattern
on the earth's surface.
572
00:29:30,661 --> 00:29:32,919
Ricksecker:
There are 12 of these
across the globe.
573
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:35,847
Now, five of them are
within the tropic of cancer,
574
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,350
Five of them within
the tropic of capricorn,
575
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:40,927
The other two, the north pole
and the south pole.
576
00:29:40,946 --> 00:29:43,763
What's interesting is
if you connect all of these
577
00:29:43,783 --> 00:29:45,524
Through the sphere of our globe,
578
00:29:45,618 --> 00:29:49,620
They make an icosagon,
or a 20-sided polygon.
579
00:29:49,771 --> 00:29:52,030
So, this is showing us
how all of these
580
00:29:52,182 --> 00:29:55,275
Type of hot spots are
connected to each other.
581
00:29:55,369 --> 00:29:58,203
Narrator:
The hot spot sites
sanderson identified
582
00:29:58,297 --> 00:30:01,799
Share more than just
a unique history and geometry.
583
00:30:03,285 --> 00:30:06,878
Many of these so-called
vile vortices have strong
584
00:30:07,031 --> 00:30:09,714
Magnetic anomalies caused
by variations or disturbances
585
00:30:09,809 --> 00:30:13,293
In the earth's magnetic field.
586
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:15,704
If you take a look at the earth,
587
00:30:15,722 --> 00:30:17,981
The earth has a magnetic
field like a bar magnet.
588
00:30:18,133 --> 00:30:21,301
The field of the magnetism
589
00:30:21,395 --> 00:30:24,546
Comes out from the north pole
and goes into the south pole.
590
00:30:24,565 --> 00:30:27,065
It comes from the fact
that inside the earth,
591
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:29,326
There is churning electricity.
592
00:30:29,477 --> 00:30:33,055
And we now know that
there are anomalies there.
593
00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:35,648
It's as if our entire earth
594
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:37,984
Is one gigantic battery.
595
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:39,895
And if one were to argue
596
00:30:39,913 --> 00:30:42,564
That the entire
planet is a battery,
597
00:30:42,583 --> 00:30:44,490
Well, what's it used for?
598
00:30:44,510 --> 00:30:47,235
I think our planet could serve
599
00:30:47,254 --> 00:30:50,755
To power whatever exotic device
600
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:55,519
Extraterrestrials use
to get here and leave.
601
00:30:57,005 --> 00:30:59,764
Narrator:
Incredibly, powerful
magnetic anomalies
602
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:02,918
Are found at many ufo hot spots,
603
00:31:03,011 --> 00:31:05,103
Including the san diego bay,
604
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:07,105
The bermuda triangle,
605
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:09,107
And the hudson valley.
606
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:13,019
Perhaps a lot of this has
to do with interstellar travel.
607
00:31:13,038 --> 00:31:15,430
Maybe these hot spots
608
00:31:15,449 --> 00:31:17,690
Are where they get that energy.
609
00:31:17,784 --> 00:31:20,544
Maybe the ufos can literally
610
00:31:20,695 --> 00:31:23,438
Suck up the power,
611
00:31:23,457 --> 00:31:27,533
The power that the ancients,
for example, could sense
612
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:29,720
When they built these
monuments in the first place.
613
00:31:29,947 --> 00:31:32,297
Narrator:
Are all ufo hot spots
614
00:31:32,449 --> 00:31:35,617
Part of a natural
worldwide power grid?
615
00:31:35,636 --> 00:31:38,453
Could learning how
to access the energy
616
00:31:38,472 --> 00:31:41,381
At these sites
one day equip mankind
617
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,068
With advanced extraterrestrial
technology and capabilities?
618
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:49,555
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
619
00:31:49,575 --> 00:31:51,967
And believe
that extraterrestrials
620
00:31:52,060 --> 00:31:55,470
Are already using this
electromagnetic energy,
621
00:31:55,489 --> 00:31:58,473
Not to travel to ufo hot spots,
622
00:31:58,566 --> 00:32:01,501
But possibly through them.
623
00:32:09,577 --> 00:32:11,345
Narrator:
The uintah basin, utah.
624
00:32:12,990 --> 00:32:16,658
Skinwalker ranch is
a 512-acre property
625
00:32:16,677 --> 00:32:18,584
Where, for more
than two centuries,
626
00:32:18,679 --> 00:32:20,679
Mysterious and terrifying
627
00:32:20,773 --> 00:32:22,755
Phenomena have been reported,
628
00:32:22,775 --> 00:32:24,441
Including ufos,
629
00:32:24,592 --> 00:32:26,426
Cattle mutilations
630
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,029
And otherworldly creatures.
631
00:32:31,525 --> 00:32:33,617
Skinwalker ranch
in northern utah
632
00:32:33,844 --> 00:32:36,344
Is an outstanding
example of a hot spot.
633
00:32:36,363 --> 00:32:38,288
It's one that is
a crossover location
634
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,125
Because native americans
have said for centuries
635
00:32:42,352 --> 00:32:45,020
That this is a place where
supernatural activity occurs,
636
00:32:45,038 --> 00:32:47,189
And it's still occurring today,
and is now being
637
00:32:47,207 --> 00:32:49,049
Very well-documented
and thoroughly studied.
638
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:53,044
Narrator:
In 2019,
639
00:32:53,138 --> 00:32:55,788
Astrophysicist dr. Travis taylor
640
00:32:55,808 --> 00:32:59,201
Joined a team of
scientists and researchers
641
00:32:59,219 --> 00:33:02,980
To investigate the bizarre
phenomena on the property.
642
00:33:03,207 --> 00:33:04,964
-Man: To the south.
-There it is!
643
00:33:05,058 --> 00:33:06,149
Man 2:
It's moving real slow.
644
00:33:06,301 --> 00:33:08,376
Man:
That thing is big and spherical.
645
00:33:08,395 --> 00:33:10,636
Travis taylor:
Yes, it is, and it's got
a black dot in the center of it.
646
00:33:10,731 --> 00:33:12,731
That ain't an airplane!
647
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:15,325
Since I've been out there
at skinwalker ranch,
648
00:33:15,477 --> 00:33:17,552
I've seen so many
different things
649
00:33:17,571 --> 00:33:21,331
That before, I would have not
really believed they existed.
650
00:33:21,558 --> 00:33:23,316
Man:
Travis, you got to see this.
651
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:25,577
Okay. Well, there's the lasers.
652
00:33:25,729 --> 00:33:27,087
-Yeah, I'm doing instant
playback. You see this?
-Oh. Yeah.
653
00:33:29,082 --> 00:33:31,341
Taylor:
Wow. What the crap is that?
654
00:33:31,493 --> 00:33:33,826
And I can say that
I'd never seen a ufo
655
00:33:33,846 --> 00:33:35,345
Before I went
to skinwalker ranch,
656
00:33:35,497 --> 00:33:37,639
And now I've seen so many,
I can't count them.
657
00:33:39,576 --> 00:33:41,076
Brandon fugal:
Skinwalker ranch is,
without question,
658
00:33:41,094 --> 00:33:42,835
The most scientifically studied
659
00:33:42,929 --> 00:33:46,598
Hot spot on the planet.
660
00:33:46,692 --> 00:33:49,434
To be able to take a more
advanced scientific effort
661
00:33:49,586 --> 00:33:52,587
Forward to better understand
662
00:33:52,606 --> 00:33:54,256
What is really happening there,
663
00:33:54,274 --> 00:33:55,774
I mean, it's...
664
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:57,868
It's the greatest science
project of our time.
665
00:33:59,521 --> 00:34:03,615
Narrator:
Between 1996 and 2016,
666
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:06,935
The federal government helped
fund investigations on the ranch
667
00:34:07,028 --> 00:34:09,546
That were led by
aerospace entrepreneur
668
00:34:09,773 --> 00:34:12,198
Robert bigelow
and his organization
669
00:34:12,217 --> 00:34:15,627
Known as the national institute
for discovery science.
670
00:34:15,779 --> 00:34:19,205
Thomas winterton:
People ask me, hey,
what did bigelow find?
671
00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:22,284
And the interesting thing is,
is that we haven't received any,
672
00:34:22,302 --> 00:34:26,288
Not a single bit of data,
673
00:34:26,381 --> 00:34:29,140
From the previous team,
so it must be classified.
674
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:31,568
Bigelow never shared it with us.
675
00:34:33,463 --> 00:34:35,405
Narrator:
Although much of what
the bigelow team discovered
676
00:34:35,557 --> 00:34:37,482
Has never been released
to the public,
677
00:34:37,634 --> 00:34:39,559
It has been suggested
678
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:41,394
That some of
the hot spot phenomena
679
00:34:41,488 --> 00:34:43,563
Witnessed on the ranch
may be related
680
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:45,665
To a portal through spacetime.
681
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:50,328
Taylor:
Skinwalker ranch appears
to be the epicenter
682
00:34:50,422 --> 00:34:53,315
Of some really strange
energy measurements,
683
00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:55,333
Strange electric
and magnetic field.
684
00:34:55,485 --> 00:34:57,652
There's been
a lot of speculation
685
00:34:57,745 --> 00:35:01,005
That skinwalker ranch
is the site of a portal
686
00:35:01,158 --> 00:35:03,916
Or a wormhole where
alien civilizations,
687
00:35:03,936 --> 00:35:05,751
Or maybe even
extra-dimensional creatures,
688
00:35:05,771 --> 00:35:07,270
Are using as a transit station.
689
00:35:07,422 --> 00:35:08,522
They're moving in and out.
690
00:35:10,350 --> 00:35:12,609
Narrator:
Could wormholes really
be an explanation
691
00:35:12,836 --> 00:35:15,112
For why hot spots
like skinwalker ranch
692
00:35:15,339 --> 00:35:17,072
Exist where they do?
693
00:35:18,283 --> 00:35:20,175
The idea of a wormhole--
694
00:35:20,268 --> 00:35:22,360
A shortcut through
time and space--
695
00:35:22,512 --> 00:35:25,288
Was proposed in 1935
696
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,017
By physicists albert einstein
and nathan rosen.
697
00:35:29,035 --> 00:35:31,777
Using the theory of relativity,
698
00:35:31,797 --> 00:35:33,855
They showed that these pathways
699
00:35:33,948 --> 00:35:35,966
Could exist as
a tunnel structure,
700
00:35:36,193 --> 00:35:39,636
Connecting two very distant
points through space and time...
701
00:35:41,365 --> 00:35:43,807
...Making travel to the most
remote parts of the universe
702
00:35:43,958 --> 00:35:45,976
A theoretical possibility.
703
00:35:47,888 --> 00:35:50,814
Pope:
Some believe
that extraterrestrials
704
00:35:51,041 --> 00:35:54,058
Would use wormholes,
705
00:35:54,153 --> 00:35:58,638
And ufos would then, apparently,
706
00:35:58,657 --> 00:36:01,232
Arrive out of
nowhere, seemingly,
707
00:36:01,385 --> 00:36:02,808
And disappear into nowhere,
708
00:36:02,828 --> 00:36:04,977
Which is very often what you get
709
00:36:04,997 --> 00:36:08,573
At locations
that are ufo hot spots
710
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:10,500
Like skinwalker ranch.
711
00:36:10,652 --> 00:36:13,628
What do you find? The idea
that there's a portal there.
712
00:36:14,748 --> 00:36:16,581
It's within the laws of physics
713
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:20,326
To use the wormhole as a gateway
714
00:36:20,420 --> 00:36:23,405
To another distant
part of the galaxy
715
00:36:23,423 --> 00:36:26,332
Faster than the speed of light.
716
00:36:26,351 --> 00:36:27,926
We don't have
that kind of technology.
717
00:36:28,078 --> 00:36:31,246
But perhaps
an advanced civilization
718
00:36:31,264 --> 00:36:33,172
Already mastered
this technology,
719
00:36:33,266 --> 00:36:36,918
And use it to
crisscross the galaxy.
720
00:36:36,937 --> 00:36:38,445
That cannot be ruled out.
721
00:36:40,106 --> 00:36:43,182
Narrator:
Is it possible that
advanced intelligent beings
722
00:36:43,276 --> 00:36:45,017
Exist in other parts
of the universe
723
00:36:45,037 --> 00:36:48,020
Who have the technology
to create portals
724
00:36:48,114 --> 00:36:50,932
Through time and space?
725
00:36:50,951 --> 00:36:54,527
And if so, could
ufo hot spots be gateways
726
00:36:54,621 --> 00:36:56,671
Where they are able
to reach earth?
727
00:36:58,108 --> 00:37:01,626
It might explain why,
on our earth,
728
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,778
That places where ufos
729
00:37:03,871 --> 00:37:07,039
Of any shape, size, color,
730
00:37:07,059 --> 00:37:09,801
Are seen on a repeated basis,
731
00:37:09,953 --> 00:37:11,786
It's exactly the same thing.
732
00:37:11,879 --> 00:37:14,547
They're coming in and out of
733
00:37:14,641 --> 00:37:17,642
Electromagnetically
created portals,
734
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:19,978
And that's why there seems to be
735
00:37:20,130 --> 00:37:23,965
A pattern of coming
and going on this planet.
736
00:37:23,984 --> 00:37:26,868
They are with us on our planet.
737
00:37:28,805 --> 00:37:31,155
Narrator:
Could it be that
extraterrestrials
738
00:37:31,308 --> 00:37:35,401
Are actually traveling to earth
through wormholes or portals?
739
00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:39,481
If so, where
are they coming from?
740
00:37:39,574 --> 00:37:42,650
There are those who believe
that it may not be
741
00:37:42,744 --> 00:37:45,095
From distant points
in the cosmos,
742
00:37:45,322 --> 00:37:48,431
But possibly
from other dimensions.
743
00:37:59,278 --> 00:38:02,337
Narrator:
Famed author and
ufologist john keel
744
00:38:02,430 --> 00:38:04,188
Publishes his second book:
745
00:38:04,283 --> 00:38:07,617
Ufos operation trojan horse.
746
00:38:08,845 --> 00:38:11,270
In the book, keel asserts
747
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:13,681
That earth is being visited
by extraterrestrials,
748
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:16,200
Not from distant planets,
749
00:38:16,353 --> 00:38:19,020
But from parallel universes.
750
00:38:19,113 --> 00:38:21,464
He believed this could
be the real explanation
751
00:38:21,616 --> 00:38:23,258
For ufo hot spots.
752
00:38:24,861 --> 00:38:28,621
Pope:
John keel believed
that these visitors
753
00:38:28,715 --> 00:38:30,715
Were from other dimensions,
754
00:38:30,809 --> 00:38:33,201
But that in the past,
755
00:38:33,294 --> 00:38:35,628
They had been misperceived
756
00:38:35,647 --> 00:38:39,816
As gods, devils, angels, demons,
757
00:38:39,967 --> 00:38:43,278
Other sorts
of supernatural entities.
758
00:38:44,898 --> 00:38:49,141
But he said this is something
that has always been with us.
759
00:38:49,161 --> 00:38:50,902
It's just that
they don't come from
760
00:38:50,996 --> 00:38:52,737
Where we think they come from.
761
00:38:52,889 --> 00:38:54,722
Henry:
John keel said
762
00:38:54,741 --> 00:38:57,650
Those beings are not
from other planets.
763
00:38:57,669 --> 00:38:59,727
They're from other dimensions.
764
00:38:59,821 --> 00:39:02,255
And this is called
the interdimensional hypothesis.
765
00:39:03,658 --> 00:39:06,158
And when they do
appear in our reality,
766
00:39:06,252 --> 00:39:08,160
They can violate
our laws of physics.
767
00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:10,663
They can travel
faster than light.
768
00:39:10,682 --> 00:39:12,331
It's because they're coming from
769
00:39:12,425 --> 00:39:13,850
Higher dimensional realms.
770
00:39:15,336 --> 00:39:17,745
Narrator: According to
the interdimensional hypothesis,
771
00:39:17,839 --> 00:39:20,932
Hot spots are simply
locations on earth
772
00:39:21,084 --> 00:39:25,086
Where the dimension we inhabit
crosses over into another.
773
00:39:25,179 --> 00:39:27,922
It may sound like
science fiction,
774
00:39:28,015 --> 00:39:31,092
But it actually fits neatly into
a branch of theoretical physics
775
00:39:31,111 --> 00:39:33,428
Known as string theory.
776
00:39:33,521 --> 00:39:35,705
In string theory
we play with different
777
00:39:35,857 --> 00:39:37,832
Kinds of universes
in different dimensions.
778
00:39:39,102 --> 00:39:41,619
There are tunnels
that connect one universe
779
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:43,529
With another universe.
780
00:39:43,548 --> 00:39:46,031
And how many universes
are there in string theory?
781
00:39:46,126 --> 00:39:48,218
Perhaps an infinite number.
782
00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:53,890
Narrator:
In the end, hot spots
remain an enduring mystery.
783
00:39:55,619 --> 00:39:58,953
Are ufo hot spots gateways
to other dimensions?
784
00:39:58,972 --> 00:40:01,956
Portals to other
places in the universe?
785
00:40:01,975 --> 00:40:05,460
The locations of
underground alien bases?
786
00:40:05,553 --> 00:40:09,406
Or is it possible
that all three are true?
787
00:40:11,576 --> 00:40:13,317
There's no, you know,
theory of everything
788
00:40:13,470 --> 00:40:15,561
When it comes to this
sort of phenomena.
789
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:17,655
It seems like there are
a lot of different reasons
790
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:21,233
As to why a ufo may be
attracted to something,
791
00:40:21,327 --> 00:40:23,253
Why activity happens over here.
792
00:40:23,404 --> 00:40:26,047
There are a variety of different
reasons, and not just one.
793
00:40:27,651 --> 00:40:31,744
Pope:
I think these hot spots
are hugely significant
794
00:40:31,763 --> 00:40:35,098
For our understanding of ufos.
795
00:40:35,249 --> 00:40:39,418
There might be a dimensional
solution to this.
796
00:40:39,512 --> 00:40:41,996
There could be
multiple explanations,
797
00:40:42,015 --> 00:40:44,774
And these aren't
mutually exclusive.
798
00:40:44,926 --> 00:40:47,185
So it's perfectly
possible to have
799
00:40:47,279 --> 00:40:51,172
Visiting extraterrestrials,
interdimensional intrusion
800
00:40:51,265 --> 00:40:54,117
And time travelers
from the future.
801
00:40:55,528 --> 00:40:58,179
Henry:
We don't fully
understand hot spots.
802
00:40:58,198 --> 00:41:00,031
However, there's never been
803
00:41:00,183 --> 00:41:02,183
A time in history
that I'm aware of
804
00:41:02,202 --> 00:41:04,368
Where so much
science and technology
805
00:41:04,463 --> 00:41:07,613
Has been directed now
in trying to figure them out.
806
00:41:07,707 --> 00:41:09,466
And what will be
the benefit of that?
807
00:41:09,617 --> 00:41:11,859
Well, we will
come to a conclusion
808
00:41:11,953 --> 00:41:14,195
About who we are,
where we came from,
809
00:41:14,214 --> 00:41:17,140
And ultimately
where we go from here.
810
00:41:18,626 --> 00:41:21,719
Tsoukalos:
If one day the mainstream
accepts the idea
811
00:41:21,813 --> 00:41:23,371
That these ufo hot spots
812
00:41:23,464 --> 00:41:27,225
Do have an
extraterrestrial connection,
813
00:41:27,319 --> 00:41:29,227
Then that would be
814
00:41:29,321 --> 00:41:33,490
A profound conclusion
in the history of humanity.
815
00:41:34,976 --> 00:41:37,218
Narrator:
Could ufo hot spots hold the key
816
00:41:37,311 --> 00:41:39,220
To understanding
strange phenomena
817
00:41:39,313 --> 00:41:41,405
That has been
witnessed on our planet
818
00:41:41,558 --> 00:41:43,224
For thousands of years?
819
00:41:43,317 --> 00:41:46,394
Might these locations
contain portals
820
00:41:46,487 --> 00:41:48,896
That lead not only
to other worlds,
821
00:41:48,990 --> 00:41:52,008
But also to other dimensions?
822
00:41:53,178 --> 00:41:55,345
If so, perhaps one day
823
00:41:55,496 --> 00:41:56,904
We will be able to harness
824
00:41:56,998 --> 00:41:59,407
The power of these
hot spots ourselves,
825
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:02,577
And discover
a reality far beyond
826
00:42:02,595 --> 00:42:06,247
What we ever believed
was possible.
827
