1
00:00:00,834 --> 00:00:04,403
[Josh] On this episode
of Expedition X,
2
00:00:04,405 --> 00:00:07,573
my team investigates
a mysterious cult in Thailand.
3
00:00:07,575 --> 00:00:10,009
[man speaking]
4
00:00:10,011 --> 00:00:11,410
How did you know
5
00:00:11,412 --> 00:00:13,479
the Fukushima disaster
was gonna happen?
6
00:00:13,481 --> 00:00:15,881
[Josh] They claimed their
knowledge of the future...
7
00:00:15,883 --> 00:00:18,951
[Anne speaking]
8
00:00:18,953 --> 00:00:21,353
[Josh] ...comes from
extraterrestrials.
9
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:23,722
[woman] What was that?
What was that? What was that?
10
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:26,058
[Josh] And now the group's
latest prediction,
11
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:30,562
a series of volcanic eruptions
like the world has never seen.
12
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:35,167
Ignore this message at
your own peril, this is real.
13
00:00:36,736 --> 00:00:39,004
[Josh] But a crackdown
from law enforcement...
14
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:40,105
You cannot be here.
15
00:00:40,107 --> 00:00:41,373
[woman]
What are you hiding?
16
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:44,209
[Josh] ...is sparking real
fear of what they insist
17
00:00:44,211 --> 00:00:46,412
is already heading our way.
18
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:52,451
My name is Josh Gates.
19
00:00:52,453 --> 00:00:55,454
In my travels, I've
experienced strange things
20
00:00:55,456 --> 00:00:59,291
that defy logic and made
me question everything.
21
00:00:59,293 --> 00:01:01,026
Oh, my God!
22
00:01:01,028 --> 00:01:02,895
Now, I've put together a team
23
00:01:02,897 --> 00:01:06,465
to investigate the stranger
side of the unknown.
24
00:01:06,467 --> 00:01:08,167
Let's go.
25
00:01:08,169 --> 00:01:10,135
[Josh]
Phil Torres is a scientist
26
00:01:10,137 --> 00:01:12,204
who hunts
for rational explanations.
27
00:01:12,206 --> 00:01:16,108
[Phil speaking]
28
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:20,479
[Josh] Jessica Chobot's paranormal
research has made her a true believer.
29
00:01:20,481 --> 00:01:21,914
Phil, did you see that?
30
00:01:21,916 --> 00:01:23,248
I just saw something
behind the rocks.
31
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:25,484
[Josh] Together,
we're searching for answers...
32
00:01:25,486 --> 00:01:26,952
[Phil]
What is that?
33
00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:30,556
[Josh] ...to the world's most
extraordinary mysteries.
34
00:01:30,558 --> 00:01:33,492
This is Expedition X.
35
00:01:38,298 --> 00:01:40,332
Between the three of us
we have investigated
36
00:01:40,334 --> 00:01:43,368
a lot of very strange cases
around the world.
37
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:47,306
But the topic of today's investigation
is quite literally out of this world.
38
00:01:47,308 --> 00:01:49,141
So I wanna start by getting
your take on a topic
39
00:01:49,143 --> 00:01:51,910
that has been the subject
of spirited debate.
40
00:01:51,912 --> 00:01:57,216
Do you think that Earth has been
contacted by extraterrestrial intelligence?
41
00:01:57,218 --> 00:01:58,350
Yeah, I do.
42
00:01:58,352 --> 00:01:59,751
I think out of
all the reports you hear,
43
00:01:59,753 --> 00:02:02,988
some of those reports
could be legit.
44
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:04,189
You find some of them plausible?
45
00:02:04,191 --> 00:02:05,257
Yeah, absolutely.
46
00:02:05,259 --> 00:02:06,425
And Phil?
47
00:02:06,427 --> 00:02:08,427
No, I think
it's theoretically possible.
48
00:02:08,429 --> 00:02:12,264
But have I seen any evidence saying
that intelligent aliens have been here?
49
00:02:12,266 --> 00:02:13,332
Not yet.
50
00:02:13,334 --> 00:02:15,567
You believe in life
elsewhere in the universe?
51
00:02:15,569 --> 00:02:18,237
I do. Absolutely. It may
not be humanoid like us.
52
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:19,805
It may be microscopic.
53
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:21,974
But I do think we're not alone
in the universe.
54
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:24,510
I think we're all in agreement.
Life is out there somewhere.
55
00:02:24,512 --> 00:02:27,079
But there's a group in
Thailand who not only thinks
56
00:02:27,081 --> 00:02:29,314
there's extraterrestrial
intelligence in the universe.
57
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:32,084
They believe that intelligent
life has come here to Earth.
58
00:02:32,086 --> 00:02:36,088
They even believe that that
intelligence is communicating with us
59
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:39,358
and issuing warnings
about humanity's future.
60
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,097
March 10th, 2011,
61
00:02:45,099 --> 00:02:47,032
a Bangkok-based
financial planner
62
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:50,669
named Mark Kuntamestha
uploads a video to YouTube.
63
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:53,238
[Mark speaking]
64
00:02:57,977 --> 00:03:01,013
[Josh] In it, he warns that
Asia is in imminent danger
65
00:03:01,015 --> 00:03:05,117
of a devastating natural disaster,
an earthquake and tsunami.
66
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:10,455
March 11th, the very next day,
67
00:03:10,457 --> 00:03:13,292
an earthquake just off
the east coast of Japan
68
00:03:13,294 --> 00:03:16,195
measuring 6.6
on the Richter scale
69
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:20,966
unleashes the second deadliest
tsunami in recorded history.
70
00:03:20,968 --> 00:03:24,636
When Mark is pressed for details
on how he predicted the event,
71
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:28,407
his answer is almost as
shocking as the event itself.
72
00:03:28,409 --> 00:03:31,109
He says, aliens told him.
73
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:35,747
Mark was a member of a group
called Khao Kala UFO
74
00:03:35,749 --> 00:03:37,816
whose members claim to receive
messages
75
00:03:37,818 --> 00:03:41,019
from extraterrestrials
via meditation.
76
00:03:41,021 --> 00:03:45,257
They say they receive information
telepathically hearing messages
77
00:03:45,259 --> 00:03:48,460
and seeing powerful images
in their mind's eye.
78
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:51,330
They also claim
to see orbs of light overhead
79
00:03:51,332 --> 00:03:54,700
and in some cases,
even descending to Earth.
80
00:03:54,702 --> 00:03:57,002
In addition
to the Fukushima disaster,
81
00:03:57,004 --> 00:04:00,138
members say they were warned
about other catastrophes,
82
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:03,342
including the 2004 tsunami
in Indonesia.
83
00:04:05,111 --> 00:04:07,346
Despite their
out-of-this-world philosophy,
84
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:10,015
Khao Kala's membership
is on the rise.
85
00:04:10,017 --> 00:04:13,619
And these aren't these
stereotypical ET-loving oddballs.
86
00:04:13,621 --> 00:04:17,422
These are business executives,
doctors, scientists,
87
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,291
some of whom
are quitting their jobs
88
00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:22,194
and flocking to the group's
remote hilltop shrine
89
00:04:22,196 --> 00:04:25,597
in a town known
as the City of Heaven.
90
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:28,267
But the group
has also become secretive.
91
00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:30,502
One of their leaders,
Somjit Raepeth,
92
00:04:30,504 --> 00:04:33,071
has avoided the spotlight
since law enforcement
93
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:36,308
began investigating Khao Kala
about six months ago,
94
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:39,278
attempting to ban their
gatherings altogether.
95
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,013
But members of the group insist
96
00:04:41,015 --> 00:04:43,949
they are in contact
with an alien intelligence
97
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:46,151
that speaks to them
telepathically,
98
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:49,955
and that a series of volcanic
eruptions are headed our way.
99
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:54,026
All right, so a lot to
unpack here.
100
00:04:54,028 --> 00:04:55,560
Let's put the aliens aside
for a second.
101
00:04:55,562 --> 00:04:59,331
First of all, do you think the human
mind can traverse space and time?
102
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,900
Yeah, I mean,
I do think it's a possibility.
103
00:05:01,902 --> 00:05:03,335
Uh, the United States
government,
104
00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:05,737
as a great example,
spent millions of dollars
105
00:05:05,739 --> 00:05:08,106
in the '70s and '80s
to study remote viewing,
106
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,776
which is basically
you meditate and try to
107
00:05:10,778 --> 00:05:14,046
quote-unquote
see a different location.
108
00:05:14,048 --> 00:05:15,380
I mean, it sounds crazy.
109
00:05:15,382 --> 00:05:18,150
But I do think that
theoretically,
110
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:23,288
there's some ways that the mind
can actually reach across locations
111
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:25,524
and possibly even time,
so who's to say.
112
00:05:25,526 --> 00:05:26,625
Probably Phil?
113
00:05:26,627 --> 00:05:27,693
- Probably.
- Yeah.
114
00:05:27,695 --> 00:05:29,261
What do you think?
115
00:05:29,263 --> 00:05:31,496
I mean, when I see this group,
it's, uh, it worries me a little bit.
116
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:32,664
Yeah.
117
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:34,266
When a group thinks that
they're getting instructions
118
00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:36,401
or communication
from another realm,
119
00:05:36,403 --> 00:05:39,304
that can turn dangerous or even
deadly, they could become a cult.
120
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:40,739
That's right.
121
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:43,408
And there are some real examples
of this, the Heaven's Gate group.
122
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:44,810
Yeah.
123
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:47,979
Yeah, this was a cult that in
1997, 39 people killed themselves,
124
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:50,449
because they were trying
to board a spaceship
125
00:05:50,451 --> 00:05:52,517
that they thought was
trailing the Hale-Bopp comet.
126
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:53,752
- Right?
- Yeah.
127
00:05:53,754 --> 00:05:56,421
And makes you wonder:
is this Khao Kala UFO group
128
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:57,723
heading in the same direction?
129
00:05:57,725 --> 00:05:59,091
But we don't know.
130
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:02,094
This guy, Mark, who supposedly
predicted the Fukushima disaster,
131
00:06:02,096 --> 00:06:04,262
he isn't speaking
on the record with anyone.
132
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:06,698
And so this is what I want
the two of you to investigate.
133
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,067
This is a fascinating story.
134
00:06:09,069 --> 00:06:12,337
So I'd like you to go to Thailand,
try to find members of this group.
135
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:13,305
Talk to them.
136
00:06:13,307 --> 00:06:14,740
See if you can go to this place
137
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:17,309
where they supposedly connect
with extraterrestrials
138
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:20,112
and find out
what's the real story here.
139
00:06:20,114 --> 00:06:22,848
Because whatever's going on,
it's fascinating.
140
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:26,818
To me, this is a big one because
either these people are right
141
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,087
and they're actually
communicating with aliens,
142
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:30,922
which would be just
mind-boggling news.
143
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:32,424
Sure.
144
00:06:32,426 --> 00:06:35,794
Or they're completely delusional
and therefore potentially dangerous.
145
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:37,095
That's right.
146
00:06:37,097 --> 00:06:38,897
So definitely, we wanna
exercise caution here.
147
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:40,031
This is a real thing.
148
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:43,068
These are real people
who really believe this.
149
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:44,536
See what evidence you can find.
150
00:06:44,538 --> 00:06:46,571
Okay.
151
00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:49,174
[Josh] The team travels
more than 8,600 miles
152
00:06:49,176 --> 00:06:51,410
to the Thai capital of Bangkok.
153
00:06:53,913 --> 00:06:57,649
Welcome to the future,
or is it the past?
154
00:06:57,651 --> 00:07:00,986
Bangkok is a city that
spills out in all directions,
155
00:07:00,988 --> 00:07:03,889
a humid maze of temples
and tuktuks,
156
00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:06,258
enlightenment and dark desires.
157
00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:08,326
It's known
as the Land of Smiles.
158
00:07:08,328 --> 00:07:12,731
But this place also has an
edge, from Muay Thai fighters
159
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:15,267
to food that has its
own kind of kick.
160
00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:18,603
It's also brimming with
more than 10-million people.
161
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:21,239
One way of avoiding some
of the world's worst traffic
162
00:07:21,241 --> 00:07:23,442
is to avoid roads all together.
163
00:07:23,444 --> 00:07:25,310
Along the Chao Phraya River,
164
00:07:25,312 --> 00:07:28,980
Phil and Jess navigate their
way past hundreds of other boats,
165
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:31,216
their destination,
a meeting with a man
166
00:07:31,218 --> 00:07:35,353
who claims to have predicted
the future.
167
00:07:35,355 --> 00:07:38,657
We've convinced a very
cautious Mark Kuntamestha,
168
00:07:38,659 --> 00:07:42,194
who posted the YouTube video
warning about the Fukushima disaster,
169
00:07:42,196 --> 00:07:45,197
to share his inside knowledge
on Khao Kala,
170
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,300
and how its members receive
their prophetic messages.
171
00:07:48,302 --> 00:07:50,101
- We've got a lot of questions.
- Yeah.
172
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:52,938
We want to hear
your story first.
173
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:56,908
I heard about Khao Kala
in 2010 and was curious,
174
00:07:56,910 --> 00:08:01,980
I had heard that they received
messages from some sort of intelligence.
175
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:05,851
I wanted to see if I could
receive those messages as well.
176
00:08:05,853 --> 00:08:09,054
When I joined, the leader
of Khao Kala showed me
177
00:08:09,056 --> 00:08:14,226
how to use Buddhist meditation to
use my brain almost like an antenna.
178
00:08:14,228 --> 00:08:17,729
And since then, I have been
able to receive messages.
179
00:08:17,731 --> 00:08:21,066
What types of messages
were you first receiving?
180
00:08:21,068 --> 00:08:25,237
It was really intense,
like a voice speaking to me,
181
00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:31,176
along with vivid images, almost
like seeing a movie in my mind.
182
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:34,479
I received information
about a great wave
183
00:08:34,481 --> 00:08:37,349
that was about to hit
a nearby country.
184
00:08:37,351 --> 00:08:40,185
I uploaded the message
to warn people
185
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:45,090
and the next day the earthquake and
tsunami occurred in Fukushima, Japan.
186
00:08:45,092 --> 00:08:48,360
What do you say to people
who say this sounds crazy
187
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:52,063
and you just got lucky uploading
a video on the right day?
188
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:55,834
It sounded crazy to me too,
but it was accurate.
189
00:08:55,836 --> 00:08:58,236
I cannot deny that, nobody can.
190
00:08:58,238 --> 00:09:01,373
This message came to me
from an alien source.
191
00:09:01,375 --> 00:09:04,743
And there are more messages
being received now.
192
00:09:04,745 --> 00:09:07,412
So what has been some
of the latest predictions?
193
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:10,181
Recently, many members
of Khao Kala
194
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:15,020
observed a mysterious circle
of light descending from the sky.
195
00:09:15,022 --> 00:09:16,555
When it hit the ground,
196
00:09:16,557 --> 00:09:20,559
they received a vision
of a great circle of volcanoes
197
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:22,561
erupting all over the world.
198
00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:27,265
[Josh] The vision seems to
focus on the so called Ring of Fire
199
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:30,368
a 25,000 mile arc
of tectonic hotspots
200
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:34,539
around the Pacific
with 452 volcanoes.
201
00:09:34,541 --> 00:09:38,276
This area contains 75% of
the world's active volcanoes
202
00:09:38,278 --> 00:09:42,013
and 90% of the planet's
earthquakes.
203
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:44,382
I mean, that sounds
kind of terrifying.
204
00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:45,717
Very scary.
205
00:09:45,719 --> 00:09:48,787
The messages are real,
and I can prove it.
206
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,030
[Josh] Jess and Phil
are in Bangkok, Thailand,
207
00:09:59,032 --> 00:10:03,234
investigating a mysterious
group known as Khao Kala UFO,
208
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:06,771
the group claims to
communicate with extraterrestrials.
209
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:07,839
One of their members,
210
00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:11,009
Mark Kuntamestha,
famously posted a video online
211
00:10:11,011 --> 00:10:15,380
that seemingly predicted
the 2011 tsunami in Japan.
212
00:10:15,382 --> 00:10:18,883
Now, members of the group
claimed to be seeing strange lights
213
00:10:18,885 --> 00:10:20,986
and have received a new message,
214
00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:25,290
one that predicts a string
of volcanic eruptions.
215
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:29,527
How are Khao Kala members in
general preparing for the future?
216
00:10:29,529 --> 00:10:32,464
The Khao Kala group is named
for the remote village
217
00:10:32,466 --> 00:10:35,100
that acts as a home base.
218
00:10:35,102 --> 00:10:37,369
In the middle of town
is the mountain
219
00:10:37,371 --> 00:10:40,038
where we gather
to receive messages.
220
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,309
It is a kind of Stargate portal.
221
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:49,014
This is where people have recently
been seeing strange orbs of light.
222
00:10:49,016 --> 00:10:52,283
It also acts as high ground
to protect them
223
00:10:52,285 --> 00:10:54,719
from the coming
natural disasters.
224
00:10:54,721 --> 00:10:56,421
[Jessica] Who leads the group?
225
00:10:56,423 --> 00:11:00,191
The group was started by
a former Thai military officer.
226
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:04,529
He received the initial messages
but has since passed away.
227
00:11:04,531 --> 00:11:09,768
Now the group is led by his daughter,
a woman named Somjit Raepeth.
228
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:11,269
[Phil] Can you connect us
with her?
229
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:12,737
Will she talk on camera?
230
00:11:12,739 --> 00:11:14,305
I'm not sure.
231
00:11:14,307 --> 00:11:18,176
The authorities have become concerned
about Khao Kala and are cracking down.
232
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:23,081
So everyone is being
very cautious.
233
00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:25,250
[Phil] Recently,
local authorities raided
234
00:11:25,252 --> 00:11:27,519
the Khao Kala
Mountain meditation area.
235
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:29,187
Despite rising suspicion,
236
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:32,090
the group claims
their activities are peaceful.
237
00:11:32,092 --> 00:11:34,893
I can put in a call
to see if she will meet you.
238
00:11:34,895 --> 00:11:38,730
Recently, she has been
meditating north of Khao Kala
239
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:41,900
at a place known
as the Five Buddha temple.
240
00:11:41,902 --> 00:11:45,170
I have a contact named Anne,
who is traveling with her.
241
00:11:45,172 --> 00:11:48,106
She is your best hope
for meeting Somjit.
242
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:49,507
Thank you very much
for your time.
243
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:51,743
We really appreciate you
sitting down and talking with us.
244
00:11:51,745 --> 00:11:52,911
Yeah, thank you.
245
00:11:52,913 --> 00:11:55,313
[Jessica] Thank you.
246
00:11:55,315 --> 00:11:58,183
[Phil] While we wait for Mark
to get in touch with his contact.
247
00:11:58,185 --> 00:12:00,285
Jess and I hop in a tuktuk,
248
00:12:00,287 --> 00:12:03,621
eager to debrief as we head
back into central Bangkok.
249
00:12:03,623 --> 00:12:04,856
What do you think?
250
00:12:04,858 --> 00:12:08,193
I definitely think it's worth
tracking down this temple
251
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:12,530
and talking to Khao Kala
and seeing what's going on.
252
00:12:12,532 --> 00:12:14,199
[Phil] I think we do gotta
go to the temple.
253
00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:16,534
They're, they're taking it
very seriously.
254
00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:21,172
It's been shown that people
who meditate are capable
255
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:23,942
of some, some truly
extraordinary things...
256
00:12:23,944 --> 00:12:25,076
[Jessica] Absolutely.
257
00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:28,513
that are really hard for us
to comprehend and accept.
258
00:12:28,515 --> 00:12:32,383
So here in Bangkok,
there's this guy, Dr. U-Yen,
259
00:12:32,385 --> 00:12:33,685
he's one of the few people
260
00:12:33,687 --> 00:12:37,489
studying this entirely understudied
neuroscience of meditation.
261
00:12:37,491 --> 00:12:40,625
And I think if we talk to him, we
might be able to get some answers
262
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:44,095
as to what these people are doing
if they're doing something special.
263
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,097
If they are doing
something special
264
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,333
in order to talk to aliens
and receive messages,
265
00:12:48,335 --> 00:12:50,301
I want to know how they do that
266
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:52,403
because I am totally down
to chat with some Grays.
267
00:12:52,405 --> 00:12:54,272
Did you just...
268
00:12:55,474 --> 00:12:57,275
[Phil] We motor over
to Bangkok's
269
00:12:57,277 --> 00:13:00,044
Chulalongkorn University
Center for neuroscience
270
00:13:00,046 --> 00:13:03,982
to find out whether Khao Kala's
claims of telepathic communication
271
00:13:03,984 --> 00:13:06,851
are even theoretically possible.
272
00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:09,854
[Jessica] We've arranged a
meet with Dr. Kongpop U-Yen,
273
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:12,957
a former NASA engineer
turned neuroscientists
274
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:15,794
who's researching how humans
can unlock the full potential
275
00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:18,096
of our brains through
meditation.
276
00:13:18,098 --> 00:13:19,964
[Phil] And while it might
look like science fiction,
277
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:22,433
his lab is doing serious work.
278
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:27,038
This device is an EEG or
electro encephalography reader.
279
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,873
Electrodes all over the headset
280
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:33,044
measure the electrical
activity inside a person's brain.
281
00:13:33,046 --> 00:13:35,246
So what is happening right now?
282
00:13:35,248 --> 00:13:40,151
So we are measuring brainwave of monks
to look at different states of the mind.
283
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:41,820
Wow.
284
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:45,490
[Josh] Dr. U-Yen's work with Buddhist
monks, the all-stars of meditation,
285
00:13:45,492 --> 00:13:48,760
is revealing that brain
function is significantly altered
286
00:13:48,762 --> 00:13:52,363
and enhanced during the
deepest states of relaxation.
287
00:13:52,365 --> 00:13:55,400
When the mind is calm, peaceful,
288
00:13:55,402 --> 00:13:57,502
we open up to answers
289
00:13:57,504 --> 00:14:00,038
that can flow into us
when the mind's clear.
290
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,740
It's like removing the cloud
from the sky.
291
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:06,177
Is it possible for someone
to use meditation
292
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:09,080
to reach out past space
and time,
293
00:14:09,082 --> 00:14:11,549
to make contact
with something beyond?
294
00:14:11,551 --> 00:14:14,619
We can try something even closer
295
00:14:14,621 --> 00:14:16,588
or try to communicate
with someone on Earth.
296
00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:17,922
How about that?
297
00:14:17,924 --> 00:14:19,157
[Jessica] Hm.
298
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:20,592
- But it's still--
- Phil, do you hear me?
299
00:14:20,594 --> 00:14:21,926
Yeah.
300
00:14:21,928 --> 00:14:24,028
I'm kidding.
301
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:25,830
- You want another cheeseburger?
- I do.
302
00:14:25,832 --> 00:14:28,466
- That's crazy.
- Oh, my God. It worked.
303
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:32,871
[Josh] All joking aside, Dr. U-Yen
is referring to a 2014 study
304
00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:35,773
where two subjects
in a Barcelona-based lab
305
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:38,743
were able to achieve brain
to brain communication,
306
00:14:38,745 --> 00:14:41,079
thanks to a computer-brain
interface.
307
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:44,148
Scientists theorize
that because human thought
308
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:47,518
can be broken down
into bio-electric signals,
309
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,323
ideas may someday be transmittable
through a kind of mental Wi-Fi network.
310
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:54,492
But could an advanced form
of intelligence
311
00:14:54,494 --> 00:14:57,462
have already mastered
this kind of communication?
312
00:14:57,464 --> 00:15:00,331
Khao Kala members
would say, "Yes."
313
00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:04,269
[Jessica] We're actually headed up
to investigate the group Khao Kala
314
00:15:04,271 --> 00:15:08,239
who say that they're able
to speak with aliens
315
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:10,842
through meditation.
Is it possible?
316
00:15:10,844 --> 00:15:12,110
It's very interesting.
317
00:15:12,112 --> 00:15:14,412
That's gonna require
some scientific proof
318
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:17,749
but you know, we, we always
open up to the possibility.
319
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:20,818
So, I can give you
my EEG device,
320
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:23,922
and it would be interesting
to see what you come up with.
321
00:15:23,924 --> 00:15:26,858
[Phil] If we can record the
brainwaves of Khao Kala members
322
00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:29,994
while they're supposedly
communicating with aliens,
323
00:15:29,996 --> 00:15:32,163
Dr. U-Yen
can then analyze the scans
324
00:15:32,165 --> 00:15:35,500
and tell us if anything
other worldly is happening.
325
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:39,270
But getting access to the secretive
group is well, a work in progress.
326
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,472
All right, so we got a little
mission to collect some data.
327
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,274
Yeah, that's perfect.
Thank you.
328
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,910
You're welcome.
329
00:15:45,912 --> 00:15:48,379
[Jessica] The next day we
get a break in our investigation.
330
00:15:48,381 --> 00:15:51,082
Former Khao Kala member
Mark Kuntamestha
331
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:53,718
has arranged a meeting for us
with his contact,
332
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,187
a current Khao Kala member
named Anne,
333
00:15:56,189 --> 00:16:01,059
who might be able to introduce us to
the group's enigmatic leader, Somjit.
334
00:16:01,061 --> 00:16:03,361
[Phil] To get to the meeting
point, we're taking backroads
335
00:16:03,363 --> 00:16:05,196
from Bangkok to Khaem Son.
336
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:07,565
It's one step closer
to our ultimate goal
337
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:11,502
of witnessing the group's
controversial conversations with ET.
338
00:16:13,272 --> 00:16:17,942
It seems like Khao Kala
is a pretty secretive group.
339
00:16:17,944 --> 00:16:21,579
[Jessica] I find that these groups
always have the best of intentions
340
00:16:21,581 --> 00:16:24,716
and then it just takes one
incident to have it all head south.
341
00:16:24,718 --> 00:16:26,351
So true.
342
00:16:26,353 --> 00:16:30,121
[Jessica] The temple where we're
told we will find Mark's contact Anne
343
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:32,824
is in a remote area
with little infrastructure,
344
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:34,525
and supposedly where Khao Kala
345
00:16:34,527 --> 00:16:37,929
had their very first
interaction with UFOs.
346
00:16:37,931 --> 00:16:40,965
Based on this road, they
chose one heck of a remote place
347
00:16:40,967 --> 00:16:44,802
to build their extraterrestrial
inspired Doomsday temple.
348
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:47,839
Well, you don't wanna build it
at a shopping mall.
349
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:51,242
[Jessica] As we reach the perimeter
of the temple complex, though,
350
00:16:51,244 --> 00:16:55,046
we realize there isn't exactly
a welcome mat to greet us.
351
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:57,548
Agh!
352
00:16:59,284 --> 00:17:00,685
[Phil] Shoot.
353
00:17:08,927 --> 00:17:10,895
Yeah.
354
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:13,398
Based on the barbed wire fence
and the chain here,
355
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,299
I don't think they want
anyone going in here.
356
00:17:15,301 --> 00:17:17,201
Maybe there's a spot
that's opened up or...
357
00:17:17,203 --> 00:17:18,269
Yeah.
358
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:20,204
they haven't
closed it off yet.
359
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:26,911
Oh. Here's a good snake tip.
360
00:17:26,913 --> 00:17:29,313
When you're stepping over a log,
you wanna kind of like tap it first.
361
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:32,250
If there's a snake on the
other side, it scurries away.
362
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:33,484
What do you mean snakes?
363
00:17:33,486 --> 00:17:36,054
There's a lot of venomous
snakes around here.
364
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:38,456
It's one of my favorite things
about this rainforest.
365
00:17:39,992 --> 00:17:41,192
[Phil groans]
366
00:17:42,194 --> 00:17:43,661
Hey, opens up over here.
367
00:17:52,538 --> 00:17:53,471
- Hi.
- Hello.
368
00:17:53,473 --> 00:17:55,039
[speaking foreign language]
369
00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:57,108
[Phil] We're here to meet with
Anne or Somjit if she's here.
370
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:58,409
[speaking foreign language]
371
00:17:58,411 --> 00:18:00,478
You cannot be here.
372
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,513
[man speaking]
373
00:18:03,682 --> 00:18:05,616
Can we meet with Somjit?
374
00:18:05,618 --> 00:18:07,018
Remain here.
375
00:18:07,020 --> 00:18:09,153
Okay. All right.
376
00:18:09,155 --> 00:18:12,723
Clearly, we're nearby
their compound-slash-temple.
377
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:14,592
Oh.
378
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:15,726
[speaking foreign language]
379
00:18:15,728 --> 00:18:16,928
- Hi.
- Hi.
380
00:18:16,930 --> 00:18:17,929
- Hello.
- Hello.
381
00:18:17,931 --> 00:18:18,996
Hello. Hi.
382
00:18:18,998 --> 00:18:20,131
- Can you speak English?
- Yes.
383
00:18:20,133 --> 00:18:22,333
[Jessica]
Stroke of good luck alert.
384
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:25,570
The woman turns out
to be Mark's contact, Anne.
385
00:18:25,572 --> 00:18:30,541
We'd like to speak to Somjit
and maybe see the temple.
386
00:18:30,543 --> 00:18:32,543
Oh, Somjit is not here.
387
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,981
We're interested in learning
more about Khao Kala.
388
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:38,249
And seeing the temple.
389
00:18:38,251 --> 00:18:39,350
Is that possible?
390
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:40,585
Yes, sure.
391
00:18:40,587 --> 00:18:41,619
- Okay?
- Okay.
392
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:43,254
Okay. All right.
We'll follow you.
393
00:18:44,923 --> 00:18:48,493
[Jessica] She explains that Somjit
has returned to the town of Khao Kala.
394
00:18:48,495 --> 00:18:50,495
But Anne is still willing
to show us the temple
395
00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:51,796
where the group claims to have
396
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:55,066
had their initial contact
with extraterrestrials,
397
00:18:55,068 --> 00:18:58,503
and the location is
nothing short of spectacular.
398
00:19:00,606 --> 00:19:03,975
This is the so called Temple
on the Glass Cliff.
399
00:19:03,977 --> 00:19:06,010
Constructed in 2004,
400
00:19:06,012 --> 00:19:08,513
it features nested statues
of the five Buddhas
401
00:19:08,515 --> 00:19:10,181
that visited Earth.
402
00:19:10,183 --> 00:19:14,285
It is also covered in more
than five million mosaic tiles
403
00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:19,056
and strange mirrored orbs that
supposedly show planetary alignments.
404
00:19:19,058 --> 00:19:21,459
The rumor is that the
monks who helped design it
405
00:19:21,461 --> 00:19:25,329
were inspired by, you
guessed it, extraterrestrials.
406
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:29,200
So what's been your experience
with Khao Kala?
407
00:19:29,202 --> 00:19:31,936
[Anne speaking]
408
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:40,077
- [Phil] Yeah.
- [Jessica] Yes.
409
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,680
[Anne speaking]
410
00:19:51,623 --> 00:19:54,058
So that's how this place was
chosen to build the temple?
411
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:55,593
Yeah.
412
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:59,363
[Phil] In fact, during the
temple's construction,
413
00:19:59,365 --> 00:20:01,265
Khao Kala members
even photographed
414
00:20:01,267 --> 00:20:05,336
what they claim is a UFO
hovering above the site.
415
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:09,307
But the real hotspot of sightings
is the town of Khao Kala itself,
416
00:20:09,309 --> 00:20:11,209
where on a remote mountain,
417
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:14,645
members have reportedly been
receiving messages from UFOs.
418
00:20:16,415 --> 00:20:20,017
The group's leader, Somjit,
is at the center of all of this.
419
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:22,486
[Anne speaking]
420
00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:28,025
[Phil] Is there any way you could
arrange an introduction for us?
421
00:20:28,027 --> 00:20:31,395
We would love to meet with
Somjit in order to get an education.
422
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:35,566
It will be my pleasure to
take you guys to visit Somjit.
423
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:36,767
- Okay.
- It'd be great.
424
00:20:36,769 --> 00:20:40,404
- That'd be amazing.
- Huge honor. Thank you.
425
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:43,407
[Phil] A meeting with Somjit
will hopefully get us access
426
00:20:43,409 --> 00:20:45,209
to the group's secret meditation
427
00:20:45,211 --> 00:20:48,412
where they claim
to communicate with aliens.
428
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:51,415
We drive 150 miles
to the town of Khao Kala
429
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:54,118
not really knowing
what to expect.
430
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:58,055
- Hello.
- [speaking foreign language]
431
00:20:58,057 --> 00:20:59,090
[Anne] Should we go inside?
432
00:20:59,092 --> 00:21:00,591
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
433
00:21:00,593 --> 00:21:02,426
[Jessica] Meeting the leader
of a UFO group,
434
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:05,162
I wasn't exactly sure
what to expect.
435
00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:09,133
But as Somjit invites us in,
she seems surprisingly open.
436
00:21:09,135 --> 00:21:11,969
And that wasn't the only
surprise waiting for us.
437
00:21:11,971 --> 00:21:15,439
She have some evidence and
she wants to show you guys.
438
00:21:21,179 --> 00:21:23,447
[Josh] Phil and Jess
have traveled to Thailand
439
00:21:23,449 --> 00:21:27,151
to investigate a group
known as Khao Kala UFO
440
00:21:27,153 --> 00:21:29,086
that claims
to be able to meditate
441
00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:32,189
and receive messages
from extraterrestrials.
442
00:21:32,191 --> 00:21:35,426
Now, they're in the group's
headquarters in the town of Khao Kala,
443
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:37,261
where they've been
invited to meet
444
00:21:37,263 --> 00:21:40,031
with the group's reclusive
leader named Somjit.
445
00:21:40,033 --> 00:21:43,734
She have some evidence and
she wants to show you guys.
446
00:21:43,736 --> 00:21:46,904
[Phil] Somjit tells us that in
order to understand Khao Kala,
447
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:49,240
we need to know how it started.
448
00:21:49,242 --> 00:21:50,374
So that's your father?
449
00:21:50,376 --> 00:21:52,476
- Yeah.
- Father.
450
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:55,279
[Somjit interpreter] He was a
former Sergeant Major in the army.
451
00:21:55,281 --> 00:21:59,950
And in 1997, he was
deep in Buddhist meditation
452
00:21:59,952 --> 00:22:03,054
when he started receiving
messages.
453
00:22:03,056 --> 00:22:06,757
A few months later, he predicted
that there would be a UFO
454
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:08,926
that would appear
on the third of the month
455
00:22:08,928 --> 00:22:12,163
on a nearby peak that we call
Khao Kala Mountain.
456
00:22:12,165 --> 00:22:14,498
Ten thousand people
went up there
457
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:18,369
and it appeared at the exact
moment he said it would.
458
00:22:21,139 --> 00:22:23,274
You can see how it kind
of looks like a flying saucer.
459
00:22:23,276 --> 00:22:26,110
But I just have a really hard time
believing that that's actually what it is.
460
00:22:26,112 --> 00:22:28,412
It kind of looks like just
clouds that are shaped like that.
461
00:22:28,414 --> 00:22:30,581
I mean, but there's no other
clouds in the sky.
462
00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:33,284
And you have everybody else
also seeing the same thing.
463
00:22:33,286 --> 00:22:35,019
How many people were there?
464
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:37,088
Ten thousand people.
465
00:22:39,658 --> 00:22:42,360
When her father said
it would happen...
466
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:45,763
That's the kicker to me.
467
00:22:45,765 --> 00:22:47,531
- Were you there?
- Yeah.
468
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:48,966
And you saw it?
469
00:22:48,968 --> 00:22:50,301
We all did.
470
00:22:50,303 --> 00:22:53,070
At first, people thought
we were crazy.
471
00:22:53,072 --> 00:22:56,941
But as people started to learn
how to communicate with the aliens,
472
00:22:56,943 --> 00:22:59,143
they started having
more sightings,
473
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:03,080
and getting warnings about
impending natural disasters.
474
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:05,816
So how much
is the group growing?
475
00:23:05,818 --> 00:23:07,318
We are growing fast.
476
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,888
We now have thousands
and thousands of members.
477
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:14,959
So we've heard that the
authorities have kind of looked into
478
00:23:14,961 --> 00:23:17,428
and even arrested
some members of Khao Kala.
479
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:19,263
The authorities are threatened
480
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:21,465
because they don't want
the messages getting out
481
00:23:21,467 --> 00:23:23,067
and starting a panic.
482
00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:25,369
But the world needs
to hear this message.
483
00:23:25,371 --> 00:23:30,408
We have seen volcanoes erupting
and great earthquake shaking cities.
484
00:23:30,410 --> 00:23:33,144
We'd love to try and go to
the top of Khao Kala Mountain.
485
00:23:33,146 --> 00:23:36,113
We would love permission
to observe the meditation
486
00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:37,948
to study the effects
for ourselves.
487
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:39,350
Is that possible?
488
00:23:39,352 --> 00:23:42,987
I'm not sure, we have a
major gathering there tomorrow,
489
00:23:42,989 --> 00:23:45,790
but the authorities
are still giving us trouble.
490
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:49,827
And they might not take well
to see in cameras.
491
00:23:49,829 --> 00:23:52,997
[Jessica] We'd really love to
go, we promise to be respectful.
492
00:23:52,999 --> 00:23:55,166
Is that okay?
Could we go to the top?
493
00:23:55,168 --> 00:23:58,269
If you have good intentions,
you can come.
494
00:23:58,271 --> 00:23:59,737
- Okay.
- That is great.
495
00:23:59,739 --> 00:24:03,374
So tomorrow I will take you
guys to Khao Kala Mountain.
496
00:24:03,376 --> 00:24:04,508
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
497
00:24:04,510 --> 00:24:06,043
Thank you.
498
00:24:08,013 --> 00:24:10,181
[Phil] By the light of a new
day, we prepare for our journey
499
00:24:10,183 --> 00:24:12,516
to the top
of Khao Kala Mountain.
500
00:24:12,518 --> 00:24:15,052
Before we depart, we
head over to the local temple
501
00:24:15,054 --> 00:24:17,388
to check in with Josh
about how to proceed.
502
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:21,959
[Josh] So update me, have
you been able to make contacts
503
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:22,993
with members of this group?
504
00:24:22,995 --> 00:24:24,094
Yes.
505
00:24:24,096 --> 00:24:25,896
And listen, this group
is interesting,
506
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:27,498
their ideas are obviously
pretty out there.
507
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:31,469
They are like an apocalyptic
groups, so are they dangerous?
508
00:24:31,471 --> 00:24:32,536
Are they strange?
509
00:24:32,538 --> 00:24:34,205
What, what's your vibe on them?
510
00:24:34,207 --> 00:24:36,173
I think when you meet them
one on one, they're very polite.
511
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:37,975
They're very nice.
They're very accommodating.
512
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:40,544
[Phil] But you take a group
that thinks the world's gonna end
513
00:24:40,546 --> 00:24:44,381
and is getting specific
instructions from extraterrestrials,
514
00:24:44,383 --> 00:24:47,585
you just kind of don't know
what they might do.
515
00:24:47,587 --> 00:24:51,255
[Josh] To date, Khao Kala has
been a totally peaceful movement
516
00:24:51,257 --> 00:24:54,058
steeped in Buddhist
meditation traditions,
517
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:55,993
but there is also
historic precedent
518
00:24:55,995 --> 00:25:01,098
for groups predicting
apocalyptic events to turn deadly.
519
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:05,569
In the 1970s, Jim Jones formed
the Jonestown cult in Guyana.
520
00:25:05,571 --> 00:25:06,937
I came to show you
521
00:25:06,939 --> 00:25:09,874
that the only God
you need is within you.
522
00:25:09,876 --> 00:25:14,078
[Josh] Orchestrating the mass
suicide of more than 900 cult members.
523
00:25:17,482 --> 00:25:21,218
The Branch Davidians created
a compound in Waco, Texas,
524
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:26,223
and in 1993, engaged in a
fatal standoff with federal agents.
525
00:25:26,225 --> 00:25:28,025
And in 1996,
526
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:31,762
39 members of the Heaven's
Gate group killed themselves,
527
00:25:31,764 --> 00:25:36,033
believing they would be transported
to an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
528
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:39,403
For these reasons, the
authorities are wary of Khao Kala
529
00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:42,706
and their mass gatherings
atop the local peak.
530
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:45,142
- They're not dangerous... yet.
- [Josh] Totally.
531
00:25:45,144 --> 00:25:47,278
I think there's more going on
beneath the surface of these people.
532
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,312
[Jessica] Yeah.
533
00:25:48,314 --> 00:25:49,780
And so what's your plan
of attack?
534
00:25:49,782 --> 00:25:52,917
We got pretty good access
to one of their meditation sites.
535
00:25:52,919 --> 00:25:56,453
This is an area that they all go
to train, to meditate and mass
536
00:25:56,455 --> 00:25:58,956
and to try to basically
communicate with extraterrestrials.
537
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:02,259
Plan is to go there and to
document in every way possible.
538
00:26:02,261 --> 00:26:04,929
[Josh] You guys are in
uncharted territory here, obviously,
539
00:26:04,931 --> 00:26:07,498
you know, look, even though this
does have Buddhist underpinnings,
540
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:09,199
and it's extensively peaceful,
541
00:26:09,201 --> 00:26:11,735
these are a group of people who
believe the world is coming to an end.
542
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:15,739
So I'm really intrigued to hear
what you discover up there.
543
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,641
Obviously, be careful.
544
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:21,111
[Jessica] We travel with Anne
to the base of the mountain
545
00:26:21,113 --> 00:26:24,782
which sits surrounded
by remote farmland and forest.
546
00:26:24,784 --> 00:26:28,052
We proceed on foot through
the fields towards the summit.
547
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:31,555
- [Phil] It's getting thick up there.
- [Jessica] Yeah.
548
00:26:31,557 --> 00:26:32,723
[Anne] We need to go there.
549
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:34,525
- Go up there?
- Yes.
550
00:26:34,527 --> 00:26:38,429
[Jessica] Inside the dense brush,
Anne guides us to an obscured dirt road
551
00:26:38,431 --> 00:26:40,064
that leads to the shrine
552
00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:43,567
where the members claim to receive
extraterrestrial communications.
553
00:26:43,569 --> 00:26:47,004
And it is the entry
to Khao Kala mountain.
554
00:26:47,006 --> 00:26:48,138
[Phil] Okay.
555
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:50,107
[Jessica] At least it is
most of the time.
556
00:26:50,109 --> 00:26:51,408
[speaking foreign language]
557
00:26:53,478 --> 00:26:55,179
What are they saying, Anne?
What are they saying?
558
00:26:55,181 --> 00:26:57,548
They are not allow us
to go to the hilltop.
559
00:26:57,550 --> 00:26:59,049
Cameras down. Cameras down.
Cameras down.
560
00:26:59,051 --> 00:27:01,185
[speaking foreign language]
561
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:05,589
Anne, what's, what's happening?
562
00:27:05,591 --> 00:27:09,026
They say we need to leave now
or we will be arrested.
563
00:27:12,864 --> 00:27:16,000
[Josh] The team is trying to reach
the summit of Khao Kala mountain
564
00:27:16,002 --> 00:27:18,135
where members
of a mysterious cult
565
00:27:18,137 --> 00:27:22,973
are about to engage in a mass
meditation to contact UFOs.
566
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:25,542
But local law enforcement
is cracking down
567
00:27:25,544 --> 00:27:28,145
and blocking access
on the road to the peak.
568
00:27:28,147 --> 00:27:30,047
[speaking foreign language]
569
00:27:33,051 --> 00:27:34,385
Anne, what's, what's happening?
570
00:27:34,387 --> 00:27:38,322
They say we need to leave now
or we will be arrested.
571
00:27:38,324 --> 00:27:40,090
[Phil]
And it's because of Khao Kala?
572
00:27:40,092 --> 00:27:41,358
What's, what's happening here?
573
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,827
[speaking foreign language]
574
00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:46,296
[Phil] Okay, okay.
We-we will go down.
575
00:27:46,298 --> 00:27:48,832
[Jessica] While the police
had cordoned off the main road,
576
00:27:48,834 --> 00:27:52,136
Anne tells us that there is
another way up to the compound,
577
00:27:52,138 --> 00:27:54,872
but it's definitely
off the beaten path.
578
00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:58,509
In other words,
through the wild jungle.
579
00:27:58,511 --> 00:28:01,912
[Phil] With daylight fading, we
strap on snake gators to protect us
580
00:28:01,914 --> 00:28:03,681
and get ready
to start the climb.
581
00:28:03,683 --> 00:28:05,582
- So Anne, up here?
- [Anne speaking]
582
00:28:05,584 --> 00:28:06,684
Okay.
583
00:28:06,686 --> 00:28:07,818
Let's go.
584
00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:09,186
[Jessica] All right.
585
00:28:13,191 --> 00:28:14,525
All right.
Watch yourself over here.
586
00:28:14,527 --> 00:28:15,926
A lot of rock snakes
can hide in.
587
00:28:15,928 --> 00:28:17,294
[Jessica] All right.
588
00:28:17,296 --> 00:28:21,031
Oh, great, I can barely bend my
leg because of the snake gators.
589
00:28:21,033 --> 00:28:25,269
[Phil] Yeah, we'll probably want them
because we got all sorts of deadly vipers.
590
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:26,437
Oh, great.
591
00:28:26,439 --> 00:28:29,873
We have king cobras which,
mind you, is the largest,
592
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,341
deadly venomous snake
in the world.
593
00:28:31,343 --> 00:28:33,444
[Jessica] Oh, lovely.
594
00:28:33,446 --> 00:28:35,946
Wow, big hole to the right.
595
00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:37,481
[Anne speaking]
596
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:45,723
[Phil]
You can hold on to this.
597
00:28:45,725 --> 00:28:46,824
Yeah? It's all good?
598
00:28:46,826 --> 00:28:48,192
Yeah.
599
00:28:48,194 --> 00:28:50,694
[Jessica] We keep climbing
into an eerie twilight.
600
00:28:53,932 --> 00:28:56,500
And before long,
darkness is upon us.
601
00:29:00,371 --> 00:29:03,774
Suddenly, this place feels
very spooky.
602
00:29:03,776 --> 00:29:05,175
As we approach the peak,
603
00:29:05,177 --> 00:29:08,245
the mountain offers
us an ominous welcome.
604
00:29:09,147 --> 00:29:11,615
[Phil] Got a storm coming in.
Let's keep moving.
605
00:29:13,718 --> 00:29:15,919
[Jessica] Finally, we see
a structure ahead
606
00:29:15,921 --> 00:29:18,722
and to our amazement,
it's filled with people.
607
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:23,026
So welcome you guys
to Khao Kala.
608
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:26,530
[Jessica] This place is huge.
609
00:29:26,532 --> 00:29:31,168
As we approach, it looks like the members
are already starting their meditation.
610
00:29:31,170 --> 00:29:33,504
[Anne speaking]
611
00:29:42,847 --> 00:29:46,917
How do you know when
somebody receives a message?
612
00:29:46,919 --> 00:29:49,653
Do they raise their hand,
a signal they give out?
613
00:29:49,655 --> 00:29:52,022
[Anne speaking]
614
00:29:54,492 --> 00:29:56,026
[Jessica] Got it.
615
00:29:57,061 --> 00:29:59,062
[Phil] It's time for us
to investigate.
616
00:29:59,064 --> 00:30:01,698
Since members here claim
to regularly see UFOs
617
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:03,100
above the mountain,
618
00:30:03,102 --> 00:30:06,436
I set up cameras in strategic
points around the compound.
619
00:30:06,438 --> 00:30:10,974
If anything flies overhead tonight,
these cameras should catch it.
620
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:12,042
[Jessica]
Okay, how's that looking?
621
00:30:12,044 --> 00:30:13,310
It's looking good.
622
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:15,379
Uh, I've got one wide shot
set up on the whole group.
623
00:30:15,381 --> 00:30:17,648
And then now that
the rains have cleared,
624
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:22,486
I'm gonna be filming the skies and
then, we'll see if anything flies over.
625
00:30:24,289 --> 00:30:27,958
The Khao Kala group members
claim they enter a meditation so deep
626
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,328
that they receive telepathic
messages from aliens.
627
00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:33,397
Anne introduces us to one member
628
00:30:33,399 --> 00:30:36,433
willing to let us measure
her brainwaves in real time.
629
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:38,635
- Hi.
- Hi.
630
00:30:38,637 --> 00:30:41,772
Do you mind
if we have you wear this?
631
00:30:41,774 --> 00:30:44,107
This is an EEG reader.
632
00:30:45,877 --> 00:30:47,211
[Phil]
Back in Bangkok at his lab,
633
00:30:47,213 --> 00:30:49,880
Dr. U-Yen showed us
how cognitive thought
634
00:30:49,882 --> 00:30:53,317
reveals itself in the EEG
monitor as the color red.
635
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:58,789
While the color blue indicates a
difficult-to-reach deep meditative state of mind.
636
00:31:01,993 --> 00:31:03,427
Wow. Now it's going deeper.
637
00:31:03,429 --> 00:31:04,761
Here it goes.
638
00:31:04,763 --> 00:31:07,231
Look, we're getting tons of blue
639
00:31:07,233 --> 00:31:10,667
at this frequency here. This
represents a low frequency,
640
00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:13,537
it indicates a really intense
meditative state.
641
00:31:13,539 --> 00:31:16,240
These levels are much higher
than back at the lab.
642
00:31:17,242 --> 00:31:19,910
To me, this is the data
we need to figure out
643
00:31:19,912 --> 00:31:22,045
if anything special
is happening.
644
00:31:24,048 --> 00:31:26,516
Just look at the deep blue here.
645
00:31:26,518 --> 00:31:31,622
This as a level of concentration
that I just have not seen before.
646
00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:35,659
[Phil] Anne tells us that
Khao Kala members
647
00:31:35,661 --> 00:31:39,496
often become intensely warm
as they're receiving a message.
648
00:31:39,498 --> 00:31:42,032
So I activate
a mobile thermal camera
649
00:31:42,034 --> 00:31:45,335
to see if I can detect an increase
in anyone's body temperature.
650
00:31:45,337 --> 00:31:46,603
At these settings,
651
00:31:46,704 --> 00:31:49,940
the yellow and red signatures
indicate normal body heat.
652
00:31:49,942 --> 00:31:54,578
But amazingly, one man in the
back is registering completely white,
653
00:31:54,580 --> 00:32:00,250
meaning the surface temperature
of his face must be over 103 degrees.
654
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:04,988
Look at this.
He is absolutely glowing.
655
00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:06,957
Something was different
with him.
656
00:32:06,959 --> 00:32:08,292
And we got to talk to him.
657
00:32:08,294 --> 00:32:09,459
[Jessica] Yeah, absolutely.
658
00:32:09,461 --> 00:32:11,628
[Phil] I filmed everybody here.
659
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:13,764
This was the guy who stood out.
660
00:32:16,634 --> 00:32:17,534
Hi.
661
00:32:17,536 --> 00:32:19,303
[Jessica] Hello.
662
00:32:19,305 --> 00:32:22,372
Everybody else was very red.
663
00:32:22,374 --> 00:32:25,142
And then that is you, white,
which means hot.
664
00:32:25,144 --> 00:32:26,343
[Jessica] Hot.
665
00:32:26,345 --> 00:32:30,280
To me, I felt normal, but
in a deep trance like state,
666
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:34,084
I could hear a message but
haven't been able to understand it.
667
00:32:34,086 --> 00:32:36,486
But there's no doubt
that UFOs are here.
668
00:32:36,488 --> 00:32:39,523
He was the only one in the
group who was glowing like this...
669
00:32:39,525 --> 00:32:40,624
And he received the message.
670
00:32:40,626 --> 00:32:41,858
and he's receiving
the message.
671
00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:43,627
Yeah.
Do you think they're here?
672
00:32:45,396 --> 00:32:47,197
[Jessica gasps] What was that?
673
00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:49,399
What was that? What was that?
What was that?
674
00:32:49,401 --> 00:32:50,901
- Do you see it?
- [Phil] Wow.
675
00:32:50,903 --> 00:32:52,536
- It is right there.
- [Jessica] Yeah.
676
00:32:52,538 --> 00:32:54,004
Oh, I think it's going down.
677
00:32:54,006 --> 00:32:55,472
[Phil]
It went behind that hill.
678
00:32:55,474 --> 00:32:57,174
[Jessica] Oh, dude, that's
so close. Let's go, check it out.
679
00:32:57,176 --> 00:32:58,442
Let's go.
680
00:33:02,513 --> 00:33:04,314
[Phil] Did you see it?
We lose it?
681
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:06,416
[Jessica]
No. I think it's over here.
682
00:33:12,023 --> 00:33:14,157
It's got to be right around
here. Right around here.
683
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:17,160
Right around the corner.
To your left, to your left.
684
00:33:17,162 --> 00:33:19,029
- [Jessica] Do you see that?
- [Phil] Look.
685
00:33:19,031 --> 00:33:20,530
Looks like it's going
right over the hill.
686
00:33:20,532 --> 00:33:22,232
[Jessica] That's going
right in front of the hill.
687
00:33:22,234 --> 00:33:23,500
That is super close.
688
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:26,203
[Phil] Keep going. Keep going.
689
00:33:29,741 --> 00:33:31,208
Hold on. Shh. Shh.
690
00:33:37,448 --> 00:33:38,782
Did you hear that?
691
00:33:38,784 --> 00:33:39,850
That whooshing?
692
00:33:39,852 --> 00:33:42,185
Yeah, I'm hearing it.
693
00:33:42,187 --> 00:33:45,322
But, I don't know
what I'm hearing right now.
694
00:33:45,324 --> 00:33:47,190
I mean, that sounds mechanical.
695
00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:51,728
[Phil] Now it's moving off.
It's headed that way.
696
00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:54,965
[both panting]
697
00:33:58,936 --> 00:34:00,537
Shh. It stopped.
698
00:34:01,439 --> 00:34:02,506
Where's this thing?
699
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:03,774
I don't know.
700
00:34:05,977 --> 00:34:09,379
I'm just trying to figure out
what did we just see?
701
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:11,314
[rhythmic vibrations]
702
00:34:11,316 --> 00:34:12,549
Oh, the sound.
703
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:13,617
There it is.
704
00:34:15,953 --> 00:34:16,953
[Phil] I hear it.
705
00:34:16,955 --> 00:34:18,288
[Jessica] It's up ahead.
706
00:34:21,492 --> 00:34:23,593
Every time we get close to it,
707
00:34:23,595 --> 00:34:25,095
it disappears.
708
00:34:25,097 --> 00:34:28,331
All right, well, we're
seeing lights over there.
709
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:29,499
Hearing sounds over here.
710
00:34:29,501 --> 00:34:31,301
Why don't you go
and track it that way
711
00:34:31,303 --> 00:34:32,436
and I'll go this way?
712
00:34:32,438 --> 00:34:34,438
- All right. Splitting up?
- [Jessica] Yeah. Split up...
713
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,605
Yeah, channel one?
714
00:34:35,607 --> 00:34:36,740
- Channel one.
- [radio beeps]
715
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:38,075
Got it.
716
00:34:41,779 --> 00:34:43,013
[rhythmic vibrations]
717
00:34:43,015 --> 00:34:44,781
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
718
00:34:49,287 --> 00:34:50,487
[mechanical sound]
719
00:34:50,489 --> 00:34:52,389
It's kind of mechanical.
720
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:55,058
It moves.
721
00:34:55,060 --> 00:34:56,560
I don't know what this is.
722
00:34:58,729 --> 00:35:00,197
I'm going to get out
the audio recorder
723
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,632
so that we don't fight
about what we actually heard
724
00:35:02,634 --> 00:35:04,234
when we review our footage.
725
00:35:14,011 --> 00:35:15,479
Jess, you getting anything?
726
00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:19,216
[Jessica] Yeah, I mean,
the sound's coming and going,
727
00:35:19,218 --> 00:35:21,418
it's that pulsing noise
we heard before.
728
00:35:23,087 --> 00:35:25,021
Yeah, I can't pin down.
729
00:35:25,023 --> 00:35:29,359
What I'm actually chasing right
now. Hang on, hang on. Standby.
730
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:31,962
Mine is back.
Went off to the right.
731
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:36,366
Jess, Jess, I think
I got something.
732
00:35:37,535 --> 00:35:39,536
It's moving off to the right.
733
00:35:39,538 --> 00:35:40,937
[Jessica] Stay with it.
734
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:42,672
I'm right around the corner.
735
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:47,444
[Phil grunts]
736
00:35:51,082 --> 00:35:54,084
The Khao Kala UFO group that
Jess and Phil are investigating
737
00:35:54,086 --> 00:35:57,587
definitely have some
apocalyptic views about our future.
738
00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:59,422
But they're not alone.
739
00:35:59,424 --> 00:36:01,391
Back in December of 2012.
740
00:36:01,393 --> 00:36:03,460
People got,
shall we say, nervous
741
00:36:03,462 --> 00:36:06,096
about the so called
Maya Apocalypse.
742
00:36:06,098 --> 00:36:11,535
The fear stemmed from a belief
that the 5,125-year Maya calendar
743
00:36:11,537 --> 00:36:14,337
was going to come
to an end on December 21st
744
00:36:14,339 --> 00:36:17,073
heralding the end of the world
as we know it.
745
00:36:17,075 --> 00:36:21,211
People also misinterpreted a prophecy
that supposedly predicted that a planet
746
00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:23,747
or asteroid would impact Earth.
747
00:36:23,749 --> 00:36:26,082
It was so widespread
that NASA scientists
748
00:36:26,084 --> 00:36:29,452
had to ease people's minds with
some actual, you know, science,
749
00:36:29,454 --> 00:36:32,255
they released a video
statement assuring everyone
750
00:36:32,257 --> 00:36:36,026
that there was no mysterious
object hurdling toward the planet.
751
00:36:36,028 --> 00:36:37,327
And as you may have noticed,
752
00:36:37,329 --> 00:36:41,331
2012 came and 2012 went
and yet, here we are.
753
00:36:41,333 --> 00:36:44,367
The end of the Maya calendar is
just the beginning of a new cycle,
754
00:36:44,369 --> 00:36:47,470
and reports of our destruction
were greatly exaggerated.
755
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:54,010
[Phil] Jess and I are
investigating a mountaintop
756
00:36:54,012 --> 00:36:55,478
where the members of Khao Kala
757
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,481
claimed to have
regular contact with aliens.
758
00:37:00,351 --> 00:37:01,451
[Jess gasps]
759
00:37:01,453 --> 00:37:04,387
[Phil] We spotted some
kind of mysterious light
760
00:37:04,389 --> 00:37:07,157
which we're chasing on the
hills below their compound.
761
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:08,992
[Phil] Jess, Jess, I
think I got something.
762
00:37:10,261 --> 00:37:12,062
It's moving off to the right.
763
00:37:12,064 --> 00:37:13,363
[Jessica] Stay with it.
764
00:37:13,365 --> 00:37:14,731
I'm right around the corner.
765
00:37:18,502 --> 00:37:19,703
[Phil grunts]
766
00:37:20,938 --> 00:37:24,207
[Jessica]
Phil? Phil, where are you?
767
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:27,877
[Phil] I was looking up at
the light then I fell in a dish.
768
00:37:27,879 --> 00:37:30,180
The light is finished,
it's gone.
769
00:37:30,182 --> 00:37:33,483
[Jessica]
Are you okay?
770
00:37:33,485 --> 00:37:36,753
Uh, physically fine,
pride injured.
771
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:39,422
Meet me over by the hill
where we split up.
772
00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:41,291
All right, I'm coming back.
773
00:37:41,293 --> 00:37:42,559
[groans]
774
00:37:45,997 --> 00:37:47,664
[Jessica] We regrouped
in the clearing
775
00:37:47,666 --> 00:37:51,935
which seemed to be directly
under the light we observed.
776
00:37:51,937 --> 00:37:53,436
Do you smell that?
777
00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:54,871
Yes.
778
00:37:54,873 --> 00:37:56,406
That is so weird.
What is that?
779
00:37:56,408 --> 00:37:58,541
It smells like ozone, honestly.
780
00:37:58,543 --> 00:37:59,643
[gasps]
781
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:02,345
Something smells really weird
in the air right now.
782
00:38:02,347 --> 00:38:03,980
Let's get the EMF reader out.
783
00:38:03,982 --> 00:38:05,782
How's it looking?
784
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:08,018
- [Phil] Woah.
- [Jessica] Woah. Check it out.
785
00:38:08,020 --> 00:38:09,619
Actually, that's pretty strong
readings here.
786
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:11,721
That's very strong,
especially right here.
787
00:38:13,557 --> 00:38:14,724
See?
788
00:38:14,726 --> 00:38:15,859
Look at that.
789
00:38:15,861 --> 00:38:18,128
This measures
electromagnetic fields,
790
00:38:18,130 --> 00:38:21,498
and there's nothing on this hill
that should be spiking the readings.
791
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:25,101
But some UFO investigators
have theorized that a light orb
792
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:30,440
or alien craft might leave behind
an energy disturbance in its wake.
793
00:38:30,442 --> 00:38:33,276
Those readings are pretty strange, but
Jess, what are we talking about here?
794
00:38:33,278 --> 00:38:37,113
This Khao Kala people think
they are getting messages
795
00:38:37,115 --> 00:38:39,115
from extraterrestrials.
796
00:38:39,117 --> 00:38:42,385
That's a big leap from
just a strange EMF reading.
797
00:38:42,387 --> 00:38:43,920
But you saw that stuff.
798
00:38:43,922 --> 00:38:45,455
I mean,
how can you explain that?
799
00:38:45,457 --> 00:38:47,157
We're in the middle of nowhere
in Thailand.
800
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:48,825
We don't even get
cell service out here.
801
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:51,428
And we've got EMF readings
that were off the chart.
802
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:54,264
I think it's a huge leap
to say that's alien.
803
00:38:54,266 --> 00:38:55,799
I'm not saying it's aliens.
804
00:38:55,801 --> 00:38:59,169
I'm not saying that Khao Kala is
actually getting these messages.
805
00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:01,738
I'm just saying you've
got to admit that it's weird.
806
00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:04,140
And we did capture
other evidence as well.
807
00:39:04,142 --> 00:39:06,976
I bring out the audio recorder
so Phil can listen
808
00:39:06,978 --> 00:39:09,979
to an isolated playback
of the sound we both heard.
809
00:39:10,781 --> 00:39:12,215
- Ready?
- Hit me.
810
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:14,384
[rhythmic vibrations]
811
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:19,189
You see that? You hear that?
812
00:39:22,493 --> 00:39:24,761
It does have a rhythm to it,
813
00:39:24,763 --> 00:39:28,365
but I just don't know,
we could be hearing anything.
814
00:39:28,367 --> 00:39:30,500
Yeah, like a UFO.
815
00:39:30,502 --> 00:39:33,903
Well, I think we got a lot
of great evidence out here
816
00:39:33,905 --> 00:39:37,774
and back at the compound and
where the [bleep] is the compound?
817
00:39:39,443 --> 00:39:41,611
Lucky for you.
818
00:39:41,613 --> 00:39:43,947
I have a GPS to get us home.
819
00:39:43,949 --> 00:39:45,215
Let's get out of here.
820
00:39:48,452 --> 00:39:50,387
[Josh] As the team makes
the long trip home,
821
00:39:50,389 --> 00:39:54,090
it's fair to say
that they did encounter a UFO
822
00:39:54,092 --> 00:39:56,659
in the strictest definition
of the term.
823
00:39:56,661 --> 00:40:00,230
They've seen a flying object
that they can't identify
824
00:40:00,232 --> 00:40:02,198
and captured it on camera.
825
00:40:03,367 --> 00:40:06,603
In addition, a strangely
mechanical sound they heard
826
00:40:06,605 --> 00:40:09,172
seemed to move away
from them as they approached.
827
00:40:09,174 --> 00:40:10,874
What is this thing?
828
00:40:10,876 --> 00:40:14,277
[Josh] And what about the
members of Khao Kala themselves?
829
00:40:14,279 --> 00:40:17,781
Phil captured an extreme heat
signature on the thermal camera.
830
00:40:17,783 --> 00:40:20,316
He is absolutely glowing.
831
00:40:20,318 --> 00:40:22,152
Something was different
with him.
832
00:40:22,154 --> 00:40:26,055
[Josh] As well as unusual brain
activity picked up on the EEG reader.
833
00:40:26,957 --> 00:40:28,291
After returning to Bangkok,
834
00:40:28,293 --> 00:40:31,428
the team shares the scans
with Dr. U-Yen's lab.
835
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:34,330
His analysis, the
practitioners of Khao Kala
836
00:40:34,332 --> 00:40:38,435
appeared to be in an extremely
deep state of meditation.
837
00:40:38,437 --> 00:40:41,704
And while the readings are
dominated by theta brain waves,
838
00:40:41,706 --> 00:40:43,139
that certainly doesn't prove
839
00:40:43,141 --> 00:40:45,642
that they're receiving
messages telepathically.
840
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:50,246
In the end,
Khao Kala is reminiscent
841
00:40:50,248 --> 00:40:54,284
of many other supposedly
prophetic groups to come before them,
842
00:40:54,286 --> 00:40:56,519
their leaders
are seemingly welcoming.
843
00:40:56,521 --> 00:40:58,988
I would take you guys
to Khao Kala mountain.
844
00:40:58,990 --> 00:41:00,123
Thank you so much.
845
00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:03,259
[Josh] Their followers
unwavering in their beliefs
846
00:41:03,261 --> 00:41:07,330
and the authorities understandably
nervous about their presence.
847
00:41:07,332 --> 00:41:09,732
But the idea that their
messages are being delivered
848
00:41:09,734 --> 00:41:14,204
by an extraterrestrial
intelligence is a claim so out there
849
00:41:14,206 --> 00:41:17,941
that it will take more than strange
lights to convince most of us.
850
00:41:17,943 --> 00:41:21,244
Having said that, it probably
couldn't hurt to keep our eyes,
