This is really a mystery. 583 00:31:03,860 --> 00:31:06,200 I should mention also that this only comes 584 00:31:06,330 --> 00:31:09,750 from one very specific part, from one very specific village. 585 00:31:09,870 --> 00:31:11,910 It has never been found anywhere else in the world. 586 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,170 Well, let's do a test that removes any doubt 587 00:31:15,290 --> 00:31:17,420 about them being partly organic. 588 00:31:19,130 --> 00:31:21,130 So, Erin is gonna take this rock, 589 00:31:21,260 --> 00:31:26,010 and she's gonna scrape it into these tiny little tin cups. 590 00:31:26,140 --> 00:31:27,430 The tin cups themselves 591 00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:30,470 we'll load into our mass spectrograph. 592 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,100 They will then be heated to 1,000 degrees centigrade. 593 00:31:33,230 --> 00:31:36,310 Everything inside will combust and turn to gas. 594 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,980 And those individual gas molecules will then be sampled, 595 00:31:39,110 --> 00:31:43,200 and we can examine if there are any truly organic molecules 596 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,530 in this rock. 597 00:31:45,660 --> 00:31:49,410 Was there some life process that was involved in its formation? 598 00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:53,620 NARRATOR: Will the tests performed on the so-called sky stones 599 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:57,630 reveal that they contain previously undiscovered 600 00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:02,970 organic material, possibly from a different world? 601 00:32:03,090 --> 00:32:07,090 And if so, could it mean that both the sky stones 602 00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:09,810 and the Nomoli statues are evidence 603 00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:12,270 of an extraterrestrial event 604 00:32:12,390 --> 00:32:16,980 that occurred on Earth centuries ago? 605 00:32:21,610 --> 00:32:27,160 NARRATOR: Sedona, Arizona, March 2019. 606 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,200 Two weeks after bringing the so-called sky stones 607 00:32:30,330 --> 00:32:32,040 found in Sierra Leone 608 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,160 to the University of Washington for examination, 609 00:32:35,290 --> 00:32:38,000 David Childress received an e-mail 610 00:32:38,130 --> 00:32:40,710 from geologist Dr. Peter Ward. 611 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,380 In the e-mail, Dr. Ward wrote that the results 612 00:32:44,510 --> 00:32:47,430 were so strange, they ran the tests three times, 613 00:32:47,550 --> 00:32:50,140 thinking it was a machine error, 614 00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:53,310 and added, "This gives me the creeps." 615 00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:56,940 To learn more, Childress contacted Dr. Ward 616 00:32:57,060 --> 00:32:58,270 through video chat. 617 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,190 Hi, Dr. Ward. 618 00:33:00,310 --> 00:33:02,520 So I wanted to learn about the results. 619 00:33:02,650 --> 00:33:04,190 Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, it was much stranger 620 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,240 than we thought. 621 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,450 There really seems to be some sort of organic aspect to this. 622 00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:13,990 It's got element nitrogen in it in really high concentrations. 623 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,920 Having this high amount of nitrogen puts it into a, "Wow, 624 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,750 that's a very peculiar rock" category. 625 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,670 We were looking for a possible extraterrestrial origin. 626 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,380 Is it possibly a meteorite or even part 627 00:33:27,510 --> 00:33:30,140 of a spaceship that exploded? 628 00:33:30,260 --> 00:33:32,890 (laughs) Let's just say that there's a possibility 629 00:33:33,010 --> 00:33:34,770 that it came from off the Earth. 630 00:33:34,890 --> 00:33:39,560 As we scientists say, it's worth more study. 631 00:33:39,690 --> 00:33:41,560 Thanks again for doing these tests 632 00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:43,980 and letting us use your lab. 633 00:33:44,110 --> 00:33:45,820 Yeah, no problem. See you later. 634 00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:49,240 NARRATOR: Although the sky stones are still a mystery, 635 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,740 David and Jared have confirmed 636 00:33:51,870 --> 00:33:55,200 that they are unlike any other stone ever examined. 637 00:33:55,330 --> 00:33:59,040 Could they have arrived on Earth with the strange beings 638 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,380 that are depicted in the Nomoli statues? 639 00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:04,290 Is this perhaps physical evidence 640 00:34:04,420 --> 00:34:07,380 that the linguistic similarities found across the globe... 641 00:34:07,510 --> 00:34:13,100 Dogon, Dagon, dragon, dogu... 642 00:34:13,220 --> 00:34:16,810 Point to some sort of extraterrestrial intervention? 643 00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:20,520 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 644 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,150 and they claim that in yet another earthly location 645 00:34:24,270 --> 00:34:27,730 may be found the most significant evidence of all, 646 00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:31,490 a possible alien home base. 647 00:34:33,870 --> 00:34:37,200 County Meath, Ireland. 648 00:34:37,330 --> 00:34:40,160 Here in the Boyne River Valley, 649 00:34:40,290 --> 00:34:43,500 a large circular mound rises out of the earth, 650 00:34:43,630 --> 00:34:49,050 the Newgrange Passage Tomb, built around 3200 BC. 651 00:34:49,170 --> 00:34:53,180 It was constructed with over 200,000 tons of stone 652 00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:58,640 quarried 75 miles away, and contains one passageway 653 00:34:58,770 --> 00:35:01,850 that leads to a centralized chamber. 654 00:35:01,980 --> 00:35:04,690 NEWMAN: Newgrange is one of the most important sites 655 00:35:04,810 --> 00:35:06,690 in all of Europe. 656 00:35:06,820 --> 00:35:10,820 It was possibly a stone circle with 36 or 37 stones, 657 00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:13,780 only 12 of these still remain, and after that, 658 00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:17,870 a huge mound made of stone and earth 659 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:20,660 was built within the stone circle itself. 660 00:35:20,790 --> 00:35:23,500 Within this, we have a huge chamber 661 00:35:23,620 --> 00:35:26,040 which is a cruciform shape, or a cross. 662 00:35:26,170 --> 00:35:30,260 It's got some beautiful carvings on the 97 curbstones 663 00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:33,470 that go around the edge, as well as on the main entrance stone, 664 00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:35,970 and within the chamber itself, 665 00:35:36,090 --> 00:35:40,970 mainly zigzags and spirals and most notably a triple spiral 666 00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:45,810 at the back of the main chamber within the actual site itself. 667 00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:50,730 NARRATOR: Newgrange was designed to honor the winter solstice, 668 00:35:50,860 --> 00:35:53,570 but according to a book published in 2012 669 00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,370 called The Newgrange Sirius Mystery, 670 00:35:56,490 --> 00:35:58,910 the entire mound was also built 671 00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:03,210 to align with the star Sirius A in the night sky. 672 00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:05,620 NEWMAN: The declination of Sirius is the same 673 00:36:05,750 --> 00:36:09,540 as the winter solstice sunrise moving across the sky, 674 00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:13,380 and through the lightbox, which is a rectangular area 675 00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:15,630 just above the main entrance, 676 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,090 this is where you witness 677 00:36:17,220 --> 00:36:18,800 not only the sunlight coming through 678 00:36:18,930 --> 00:36:20,890 but also later in the day, 679 00:36:21,010 --> 00:36:23,270 Sirius light coming through as well. 680 00:36:26,730 --> 00:36:29,190 NARRATOR: The Dogon of Mali in West Africa claimed 681 00:36:29,310 --> 00:36:33,400 that their gods came to Earth from the star Sirius B. 682 00:36:33,530 --> 00:36:38,620 Ancient astronaut theorists connect these visitors 683 00:36:38,740 --> 00:36:41,620 to gods with similar names all over the world. 684 00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:46,370 But they also point out an intriguing connection 685 00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:49,630 to Newgrange in Ireland. 686 00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:53,000 In addition to being in line with the star Sirius, 687 00:36:53,130 --> 00:36:57,130 legend says that this megalith was built by a Celtic god 688 00:36:57,260 --> 00:37:01,600 with a name that sounds, by now, eerily familiar: 689 00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:04,180 The god Dagda. 690 00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:07,270 CHILDRESS: The main god that's associated with Newgrange 691 00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:08,980 is called Dagda. 692 00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,860 So here, once again, we have this same word 693 00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:16,780 that appears to mean something about gods coming from Sirius. 694 00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:18,860 HENRY: The dwellers of the British Isles 695 00:37:18,990 --> 00:37:21,700 worshipped a god named Dagda. 696 00:37:21,830 --> 00:37:24,370 That cannot be by coincidence. 697 00:37:24,490 --> 00:37:27,870 NARRATOR: The god known as Dagda was said to be the leader of a group 698 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,170 of otherworldly beings called the Tuatha Dé Danann. 699 00:37:32,290 --> 00:37:36,630 NEWMAN: The Tuatha Dé Danann were this renowned fairy race 700 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,970 that arrived mysteriously in Ireland 701 00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:40,930 many thousands of years ago. 702 00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:46,390 The supreme deity of the Tuatha Dé Danann was Dagda, Dagda Mul. 703 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,690 And he was a renowned god. 704 00:37:49,810 --> 00:37:53,900 He was said to have built and lived inside Newgrange. 705 00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:56,400 They had very advanced weaponry 706 00:37:56,530 --> 00:38:00,490 and different types of what sounds like machinery. 707 00:38:00,610 --> 00:38:03,700 But also they taught the high arts of civilization, 708 00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:06,580 and they were said to be almost like the Shining Ones 709 00:38:06,700 --> 00:38:08,960 of the biblical tradition. 710 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,830 It's almost like a science fiction movie 711 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,040 when you start looking at these ancient Irish myths. 712 00:38:14,170 --> 00:38:16,420 (wind whooshing) 713 00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:20,300 NARRATOR: Could Newgrange have once been an alien outpost on Earth? 714 00:38:20,430 --> 00:38:23,300 Was Dagda the supreme leader of a race 715 00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:26,220 of highly advanced extraterrestrials 716 00:38:26,350 --> 00:38:28,730 that came to Earth and left a lasting influence 717 00:38:28,850 --> 00:38:30,730 on our ancestors? 718 00:38:31,940 --> 00:38:33,810 Perhaps the answer can be found 719 00:38:33,940 --> 00:38:37,400 by examining the Dog Star. 720 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,660 NARRATOR Across the world, 721 00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:49,960 ancient people claimed they were visited by amphibious beings 722 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,580 from Sirius who gave the gift of knowledge and technology. 723 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:56,920 The Dogon of Mali. 724 00:38:57,050 --> 00:39:00,220 Dagon of the Babylonians. 725 00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:02,590 The dogu of Japan. 726 00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:05,390 Dagda of Ireland. 727 00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:08,310 And the dragon, whose name echoes in languages 728 00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:10,600 all over the world. 729 00:39:12,810 --> 00:39:15,020 You have to wonder, is it possible 730 00:39:15,150 --> 00:39:16,940 that all the root words 731 00:39:17,070 --> 00:39:19,900 come from the same visitors? 732 00:39:20,030 --> 00:39:24,490 And my answer to that is a resounding yes. 733 00:39:24,610 --> 00:39:28,540 NARRATOR: But what about the English language? 734 00:39:28,660 --> 00:39:30,830 Is there any connection in English 735 00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:35,420 between the ancient syllable Dog or Dag and the star Sirius? 736 00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:40,050 Experts say the answer is hiding in plain sight. 737 00:39:40,170 --> 00:39:43,680 KAKU: Sirius is the Dog Star. 738 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,220 Tonight, when you go outside, 739 00:39:45,340 --> 00:39:47,680 look for the three stars that make up Orion, 740 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,980 and Orion's belt has an arrow that points right to Sirius. 741 00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:56,310 So you can see Sirius, the Dog Star, tonight. 742 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,110 In fact, today, 743 00:39:58,230 --> 00:40:01,190 the reason we talk about the dog days of summer 744 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,610 is that those are the days that Sirius is overhead. 745 00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:08,580 It's very interesting that these beings said 746 00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:10,490 they came from Sirius, 747 00:40:10,620 --> 00:40:13,500 which we call the Dog Star, because when etymologists 748 00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:16,670 try to trace the origins of the English word "dog," 749 00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:19,380 it's non-attributable, they can't find 750 00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:22,210 the origin of that word. 751 00:40:22,340 --> 00:40:25,550 NARRATOR: The word "dog" is one of the strangest 752 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,390 in the English language, because no one knows where it came from. 753 00:40:30,510 --> 00:40:35,270 English is mostly derived from German, Latin, and French. 754 00:40:35,390 --> 00:40:38,560 The German word for dog is "hund," 755 00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:43,440 the Latin word is "canis," and the French word is "chien." 756 00:40:43,570 --> 00:40:47,740 So where do we get "dog"? 757 00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:51,080 Is it possible that some being from the Dog Star 758 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,040 or from this system 759 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,290 gave that type of vocabulary of Dagon, Dogon, dogu, 760 00:40:57,420 --> 00:41:00,290 and all of these similarities are speaking of one race 761 00:41:00,420 --> 00:41:02,460 that visited ancient man? 762 00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:05,800 I think in this particular case, 763 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,300 whatever came down here at the time, 764 00:41:08,430 --> 00:41:11,260 or what group of extraterrestrials 765 00:41:11,390 --> 00:41:14,640 came down here at the time, they were referred to as this, 766 00:41:14,770 --> 00:41:16,140 and then other civilizations 767 00:41:16,270 --> 00:41:19,310 just carried it and picked up on it. 768 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,690 We have to at least ask the question, is this, in fact, 769 00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:26,110 the name of these god beings? I believe it is. 770 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:31,280 NARRATOR: Is it possible that ancient statues unearthed in West Africa 771 00:41:31,410 --> 00:41:35,950 represent the opening chapter in the story of humankind? 772 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,750 Do they depict advanced beings that traveled to our planet 773 00:41:39,870 --> 00:41:42,920 from the Sirius star system to create the first humans 774 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,880 and ignite civilization on Earth? 775 00:41:47,010 --> 00:41:50,260 And did these extraterrestrials leave behind evidence 776 00:41:50,390 --> 00:41:54,890 of their visitation for future generations to find? 777 00:41:55,020 --> 00:41:59,440 Perhaps these clues point not only to their home planet 778 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,980 but to where we must travel in order to reunite 779 00:42:04,110 --> 00:42:06,860 with our alien ancestors. 62263
