1
00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:05,003
We don't know what
protocols governments might have
2
00:00:05,004 --> 00:00:09,925
for how we interact with our
extraterrestrial visitors.
3
00:00:09,926 --> 00:00:12,553
Two, one, let it go!
4
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:16,640
We've never found
an official sanctioned document
5
00:00:16,641 --> 00:00:20,561
that says, if we're invaded
by aliens, this is what we do.
6
00:00:20,562 --> 00:00:22,396
Doesn't mean
that there isn't one.
7
00:00:22,397 --> 00:00:23,897
In we go, huh?
8
00:00:23,898 --> 00:00:25,774
I believe that these protocols
9
00:00:25,775 --> 00:00:28,110
are already established,
and, in fact,
10
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:31,488
we are already in contact
with extraterrestrials.
11
00:00:31,489 --> 00:00:33,949
What we actually
could be looking at here
12
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:36,952
is a genuine alien life-form.
13
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:40,038
The question I have is,
what are we gonna do?

00:01:08,985 --> 00:01:13,071
October 19, 2017.
16
00:01:13,072 --> 00:01:15,741
The Hawaiian island of Maui.
17
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:20,579
Here, perched atop
a 10,000-foot summit,
18
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:23,665
stands
the Haleakala Observatory.
19
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:27,294
Astronomers using
The Panoramic Survey Telescope
20
00:01:27,295 --> 00:01:29,713
and Rapid Response System,
or Pan-STARRS,
21
00:01:29,714 --> 00:01:32,966
detect a mysterious object
22
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:35,720
traveling at high speed
through our solar system.
23
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:42,726
The trajectory of this object
is unlike any
24
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:45,271
that has ever been seen before.
25
00:01:47,023 --> 00:01:50,275
I was in charge
of coordinating the observing
26
00:01:50,276 --> 00:01:52,319
to characterize the object.
27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,530
The object was discovered.
28
00:01:54,531 --> 00:01:56,824
And, at that point,
there were images taken
29
00:01:56,825 --> 00:01:59,409
that showed an object
moving rapidly
30
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:02,371
with respect to the stars.
31
00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:05,040
The stars are individual dots
of light,
32
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:06,834
and this object was a streak,
33
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:08,752
so they knew it was moving fast.
34
00:02:08,753 --> 00:02:11,797
At that point,
they started to compute
35
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:15,843
an orbit to try and understand
what this object was.
36
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:18,345
This was
a really dramatic difference
37
00:02:18,346 --> 00:02:20,348
from what
had been seen previously.
38
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:25,185
The object was found
39
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:28,021
to have a highly unusual
hyperbolic orbit,
40
00:02:28,022 --> 00:02:29,898
suggesting that it was traveling
41
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:31,859
at such a high rate of speed
42
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:34,778
that it was not being pulled
into a more circular orbit
43
00:02:34,779 --> 00:02:36,865
by the force of gravity.
44
00:02:38,241 --> 00:02:40,409
Everything in the solar system
45
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:42,953
is either on a circular
or an elliptical orbit.
46
00:02:42,954 --> 00:02:46,957
This was a particularly
exciting observation,
47
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:48,750
because we had never seen
anything like this
48
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:50,377
come through the solar system.
49
00:02:50,378 --> 00:02:53,338
The object, which was classified
50
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:56,300
as an asteroid
and named 'Oumuamua,
51
00:02:56,301 --> 00:02:59,469
a Hawaiian word
meaning "scout" or "messenger,"
52
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:01,555
is the first object of its kind
53
00:03:01,556 --> 00:03:05,934
to be officially recognized
as interstellar.
54
00:03:05,935 --> 00:03:09,897
An asteroid was discovered
coming into our solar system.
55
00:03:09,898 --> 00:03:11,773
Let that sink in.
56
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:14,902
An asteroid was discovered
coming into our solar system.
57
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:16,403
From where we don't know.
58
00:03:16,404 --> 00:03:18,572
It just came from outside
our solar system,
59
00:03:18,573 --> 00:03:22,910
meaning it's from a different
star system, somewhere else.
60
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:25,913
That's historic,
that we've actually seen it.
61
00:03:25,914 --> 00:03:30,876
We now know objects can travel
from one star system to another.
62
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:33,921
Researchers
engaged in the Search
63
00:03:33,922 --> 00:03:36,840
for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence, or SETI,
64
00:03:36,841 --> 00:03:39,468
were intrigued not only
by 'Oumuamua's origins,
65
00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:42,721
but also by its unusual shape.
66
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:44,097
It had a very funny shape.
67
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:46,016
It's shaped like a cigar.
68
00:03:46,017 --> 00:03:49,353
You know, it's maybe five or ten
times as long as it is across.
69
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:53,106
No asteroid that we know of
looks like a cigar.
70
00:03:53,107 --> 00:03:54,650
Inevitably,
there were people saying,
71
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:56,234
"Well, are you sure it's a rock?
72
00:03:56,235 --> 00:03:57,694
"Maybe there's somebody
inside this thing.
73
00:03:57,695 --> 00:03:59,112
Maybe they've come to visit."
74
00:03:59,113 --> 00:04:01,782
Now, if I were gonna build
75
00:04:01,783 --> 00:04:04,326
a spaceship that was gonna take
hundreds of years,
76
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:06,536
or maybe thousands
or millions of years to go
77
00:04:06,537 --> 00:04:09,039
from one star to another,
I would start by finding
78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,125
a big asteroid that I like,
that had all the minerals on it.
79
00:04:12,126 --> 00:04:15,671
And I would use that and just
turn it into the ship I wanted.
80
00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:19,841
Mainstream astronomers
such as Avi Loeb, the chair
81
00:04:19,842 --> 00:04:22,970
of Harvard University's
astronomy department,
82
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:25,973
noted that the cigar shape
of 'Oumuamua
83
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:30,519
is the optimal design for a
vessel to travel through space.
84
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,688
This has led
ancient astronaut theorists
85
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:35,649
and even some astronomers
to question
86
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:38,443
if the so-called asteroid
is actually
87
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:41,822
an extraterrestrial vessel.
88
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:46,994
What I think is interesting is
that 'Oumuamua is cigar-shaped.
89
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:49,997
Because there are stories
90
00:04:49,998 --> 00:04:54,209
and eyewitness reports
of cigar-shaped UFOs.
91
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:57,587
So is it possible that there
is some type of a connection?
92
00:04:57,588 --> 00:05:01,216
Reports of strange,
cigar-shaped UFOs
93
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:03,677
date back hundreds of years.
94
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:08,015
This famous woodcut from 1561,
for example,
95
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:11,143
is based on a firsthand account
by someone
96
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:14,354
who claimed that a number
of round and tubular objects
97
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:16,732
could be seen battling
in the sky
98
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:19,193
over the town
of Nuremberg, Germany.
99
00:05:21,195 --> 00:05:24,781
This first documented UFO
photograph captured
100
00:05:24,782 --> 00:05:27,325
what looks like a long,
cylindrical craft
101
00:05:27,326 --> 00:05:32,039
hovering over Mount Washington,
New Hampshire in 1870.
102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,543
And in modern times, sightings
of cigar-shaped UFOs
103
00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:39,921
are commonly reported,
as are those which are described
104
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:43,675
as so-called "flying saucers."
105
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:47,596
It is possible that an asteroid
106
00:05:47,597 --> 00:05:51,058
has been taken, hollowed out,
107
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:53,602
made into a spaceship,
108
00:05:53,603 --> 00:05:57,397
and then put into
a special orbit or trajectory.
109
00:05:57,398 --> 00:06:02,778
And what might be inside of
'Oumuamua is anyone's guess.
110
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:06,073
Discoveries like 'Oumuamua
111
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:09,034
certainly have swayed
the scientific community
112
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,161
towards our ideas,
113
00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:14,372
because for the first time
in my life
114
00:06:14,373 --> 00:06:17,834
have I heard an astronomer say
that this object
115
00:06:17,835 --> 00:06:20,587
that is floating through
our solar system right now,
116
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:23,423
may be
an extraterrestrial craft.
117
00:06:23,424 --> 00:06:26,927
That doesn't come from me;
it comes from an astronomer.
118
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:29,304
Maybe 'Oumuamua
was a false alarm,
119
00:06:29,305 --> 00:06:31,348
but maybe it was the real thing.
120
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:34,184
However, it does inform us
that we need a protocol.
121
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:36,812
We need steps in place
that will help us
122
00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:39,314
to determine what we
are actually seeing
123
00:06:39,315 --> 00:06:41,108
and what the response should be.
124
00:06:41,109 --> 00:06:43,902
This was a tremendous wake-up
call, because it started
125
00:06:43,903 --> 00:06:46,613
to give us a sense
of how would we respond
126
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:49,324
if there were such
an intrusion, if you will.
127
00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:53,411
Does humanity have a
plan for what to do in the event
128
00:06:53,412 --> 00:06:56,540
that a spacecraft carrying
extraterrestrial beings
129
00:06:56,541 --> 00:06:58,792
comes to our planet?
130
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:02,629
And, if so,
what are the protocols?
131
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:06,675
And who is responsible
for implementing them?
132
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:10,137
The International
Academy of Astronautics
133
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:13,473
set up something called
the Post Detection Task Group,
134
00:07:13,474 --> 00:07:16,852
and I chaired that
for some years.
135
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:20,021
And it was just an informal,
uh, collection of people
136
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:23,316
who, uh, whose job was
to simply deliberate on
137
00:07:23,317 --> 00:07:26,153
if there should be some
sort of putative signal,
138
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,989
or detection
of alien technology, what next?
139
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:30,157
What do we do?
Who do we tell?
140
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:31,658
How do we respond?
141
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,202
What would the impact be
on society?
142
00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:36,872
In 1989,
143
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:40,667
the International Academy of
Astronautics, working with SETI,
144
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:44,087
published the "Declaration of
Principles Concerning Activities"
145
00:07:44,088 --> 00:07:49,092
Following the Detection of
Extraterrestrial Intelligence."
146
00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:53,263
It stated that if proof of
an alien presence is confirmed,
147
00:07:53,264 --> 00:07:57,225
the next consideration should be
to decide which government
148
00:07:57,226 --> 00:08:00,228
or scientific entity should
begin communication,
149
00:08:00,229 --> 00:08:03,064
so that the situation
does not quickly turn
150
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:06,193
into an international
free-for-all.
151
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:08,904
The SETI protocols, however,
152
00:08:08,905 --> 00:08:13,158
are only binding on the
astronomical community.
153
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:15,452
There are many more players
in the equation.
154
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:17,787
The SETI protocols
may cover astronomers,
155
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:20,040
but they don't cover governments
156
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:22,042
and they're not even
legally binding.
157
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:26,588
Nobody can tell a radio
astronomer, or anybody else,
158
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:28,590
that they're not allowed
to transmit.
159
00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:31,051
And even if the United States
160
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:32,802
and other major nations decided
161
00:08:32,803 --> 00:08:34,804
that there should be some sort
162
00:08:34,805 --> 00:08:37,974
of moratorium on using radio
telescopes for that purpose,
163
00:08:37,975 --> 00:08:39,893
there's nothing
to prevent North Korea,
164
00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:41,436
for example, from doing it.
165
00:08:41,437 --> 00:08:44,731
I think it's totally
"unpoliceable,"
166
00:08:44,732 --> 00:08:47,651
which is why we have to think
through rather carefully
167
00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:49,819
what the consequences would be,
168
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:53,199
in the event that there was
this exciting discovery.
169
00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:57,577
Considering
the enormous global impact
170
00:08:57,578 --> 00:09:01,289
of any first communication
or contact between someone
171
00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:05,252
from Earth and an intelligent
being from another planet,
172
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:08,421
wouldn't world governments
already have their own protocols
173
00:09:08,422 --> 00:09:11,258
in place to handle
such a situation?
174
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:15,178
Protocols that would govern...
Not just individual countries...
175
00:09:15,179 --> 00:09:18,765
But everyone in the world?
176
00:09:18,766 --> 00:09:22,102
I spent the better part
of about four years researching,
177
00:09:22,103 --> 00:09:24,646
uh, a book that myself
and, uh, and some colleagues
178
00:09:24,647 --> 00:09:28,650
were working on
to create a protocol:
179
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:31,820
if we were invaded by aliens,
what would we do?
180
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,781
And we searched
everywhere we could,
181
00:09:34,782 --> 00:09:37,659
and we had several databases
available to us,
182
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:39,452
and we've never found
183
00:09:39,453 --> 00:09:41,955
an official sanctioned
government document
184
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:46,126
that says if we're invaded
by aliens, this is what we do.
185
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:48,503
Doesn't mean
that there isn't one.
186
00:09:48,504 --> 00:09:52,966
With my experience of the
British Ministry of Defence,
187
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:56,303
I'd be surprised if there wasn't
a protocol for this.
188
00:09:56,304 --> 00:10:00,515
So I suspect that somewhere,
deep in the bowels
189
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:03,393
of the Ministry of Defence
and the Department of Defense,
190
00:10:03,394 --> 00:10:05,353
there is a plan.
191
00:10:05,354 --> 00:10:08,983
But I also suspect
that it's highly classified.
192
00:10:11,485 --> 00:10:14,904
But while many of the
world's top governments continue
193
00:10:14,905 --> 00:10:18,366
to deny the existence
of any plans or protocols
194
00:10:18,367 --> 00:10:20,160
that would be used in the event
195
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:22,370
of an extraterrestrial
encounter,
196
00:10:22,371 --> 00:10:25,081
many ancient astronaut
theorists believe
197
00:10:25,082 --> 00:10:27,876
that not only do
such plans exist,
198
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:29,836
but that they have been
in place for decades.
199
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:34,215
And that contact
between Earth governments
200
00:10:34,216 --> 00:10:36,760
and extraterrestrial visitors
has been happening...
201
00:10:36,761 --> 00:10:39,472
In secret...
For thousands of years.
202
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,980
December 2017.
203
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:52,984
The New York Times
publishes a bombshell story.
204
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:55,070
It reveals the existence
205
00:10:55,071 --> 00:10:57,947
of a $22 million
black budget program
206
00:10:57,948 --> 00:10:59,824
within the Pentagon
207
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:04,079
created to investigate whether
unidentified flying objects
208
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,248
pose a threat
to national security.
209
00:11:07,249 --> 00:11:10,668
From 2007 until 2012,
210
00:11:10,669 --> 00:11:14,047
the Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program
211
00:11:14,048 --> 00:11:16,966
collected a compilation
of videos
212
00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:19,260
that show inexplicable
aerial phenomena,
213
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:22,639
some of which have been released
to the public.
214
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,100
One of these videos, at least,
215
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:29,020
comes from the gun camera
of an F-18.
216
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:31,106
And you don't just jump out
in your plane
217
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:33,525
and fly out and chase something
because you saw it go by.
218
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,235
You were told to do so,
219
00:11:35,236 --> 00:11:38,780
and it took a lot of people
to know this was going on.
220
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:42,867
Although the complete
findings of the program
221
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:45,537
otherwise known as AATIP
are still considered
222
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:48,248
highly classified
and may never be released,
223
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:51,501
its very existence
provides proof
224
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:54,879
that the United States military
had protocols in place
225
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,216
for how to investigate
unidentified flying objects.
226
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:01,219
But do the videos
imply something else?
227
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:05,056
Something of even greater
significance?
228
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:08,268
Could they be evidence not
only that UFOs exist,
229
00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:11,896
but that the government
has been studying them
230
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,900
and not shooting them down
for a reason?
231
00:12:16,944 --> 00:12:20,321
We simulate
all sorts of scenarios
232
00:12:20,322 --> 00:12:22,699
in war gaming simulations.
233
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,075
I've seen these simulations
234
00:12:24,076 --> 00:12:26,828
where they can teleport
their soldiers
235
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:29,164
from one place to another
instantaneously.
236
00:12:29,165 --> 00:12:30,790
Or they have shields
237
00:12:30,791 --> 00:12:34,711
that keep anything below
extremely high-caliber weapons
238
00:12:34,712 --> 00:12:36,337
from penetrating their armor.
239
00:12:36,338 --> 00:12:39,424
A lot of times this is called
an engagement for 2075.
240
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:41,384
Now, think about that.
241
00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:43,344
We can prepare and plan
242
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:46,931
for engagements against forces
in the future.
243
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:49,517
That's almost like preparing
for a force
244
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:51,978
that's just that much
more advanced than us.
245
00:12:51,979 --> 00:12:54,439
Is it possible
246
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,483
that by gathering
and then studying evidence
247
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,735
of UFO activity,
248
00:12:58,736 --> 00:13:01,196
the U.S. military
is developing protocols
249
00:13:01,197 --> 00:13:03,531
which will prepare
future soldiers
250
00:13:03,532 --> 00:13:07,827
to face what could be
extraterrestrial forces?
251
00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:11,039
And if not here on Earth,
on other planets?
252
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,541
We've got to have
space capabilities.
253
00:13:13,542 --> 00:13:16,377
We've got to be able
to run out into our vehicle,
254
00:13:16,378 --> 00:13:18,171
turn it on,
and fly up into space.
255
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:22,550
Right now it takes months
to prepare to go into space.
256
00:13:22,551 --> 00:13:24,260
We need to have bases
on the Moon
257
00:13:24,261 --> 00:13:25,970
and on Mars and Europa,
258
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:28,348
various other places
in the solar system
259
00:13:28,349 --> 00:13:32,769
so that we don't have to play
on one staging ground: Earth.
260
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:35,939
We can't fight
wearing a space suit.
261
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:38,525
We're gonna have to have
some other type
262
00:13:38,526 --> 00:13:41,486
of environment capability,
like powered armor suits,
263
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:44,572
like in Iron Man,
that improves your abilities
264
00:13:44,573 --> 00:13:45,990
instead of hinders them.
265
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:48,368
So we need some other technology
for that.
266
00:13:48,369 --> 00:13:51,871
But if
the United States military
267
00:13:51,872 --> 00:13:54,541
has secret protocols
for how to identify
268
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:57,710
and combat
extraterrestrial threats,
269
00:13:57,711 --> 00:14:02,215
could they also have protocols
for more peaceful encounters?
270
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:05,385
And if so, could these protocols
also be part
271
00:14:05,386 --> 00:14:08,805
of a global strategy,
one secretly shared
272
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:12,685
with other nations
around the world?
273
00:14:15,896 --> 00:14:20,316
Vatican City, May 2014.
274
00:14:20,317 --> 00:14:24,612
In a sermon dedicated
to concepts of inclusion,
275
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:27,657
Pope Francis shocks his
congregation when he declares
276
00:14:27,658 --> 00:14:31,452
that if alien life-forms
ever arrive on Earth,
277
00:14:31,453 --> 00:14:35,331
he would welcome them
into the Catholic Church.
278
00:14:35,332 --> 00:14:39,460
The pontiff's remarks
stun the world,
279
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:42,422
as it is the first time
that a sitting pope acknowledges
280
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:45,633
not only that
extraterrestrial life exists,
281
00:14:45,634 --> 00:14:47,635
but that it could be intelligent
282
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:51,097
and capable
of interplanetary travel.
283
00:14:51,098 --> 00:14:52,807
The Pope's action
284
00:14:52,808 --> 00:14:57,854
is one little example
of the broad shift in attitudes
285
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:00,565
toward the possibility
of visitation.
286
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:02,900
Religious authorities
287
00:15:02,901 --> 00:15:06,112
around the world,
leaders of the world religions
288
00:15:06,113 --> 00:15:09,407
are having to deal
with the possibility,
289
00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:12,076
if not the already known
reality,
290
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:14,746
of the existence
of extraterrestrial beings.
291
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:17,749
Whether a secretly held belief
292
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,585
or a recently evolved position,
293
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:23,838
faith-based organizations
around the globe
294
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:25,298
have recently embraced
a more open
295
00:15:25,299 --> 00:15:27,967
and transparent view
that intelligent life
296
00:15:27,968 --> 00:15:30,887
beyond Earth is possible.
297
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:32,513
The Catholic Church's statements
298
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:35,850
are allied with the statements
of the Dalai Lama,
299
00:15:35,851 --> 00:15:39,103
who has recently been talking
about openness and oneness
300
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:41,731
and the sameness of all
the creatures in creation,
301
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:43,066
that we shouldn't treat
302
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:45,735
extraterrestrial beings
as strangers,
303
00:15:45,736 --> 00:15:47,945
but rather as similar to us.
304
00:15:47,946 --> 00:15:51,783
When they will encounter us
305
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:54,452
or we will encounter them,
306
00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:57,246
it does not have to be conflict
307
00:15:57,247 --> 00:16:00,501
if we do not allow it to be so.
308
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:05,380
As far as
ancient astronaut theorists
309
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,924
are concerned, the willingness
of world religions
310
00:16:07,925 --> 00:16:09,926
to embrace the notion
of visitations
311
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:12,762
by extraterrestrial beings
is not new
312
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:16,891
but dates back hundreds,
if not thousands, of years.
313
00:16:16,892 --> 00:16:19,560
They argue that most religions,
314
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:22,605
if not all,
are based on the idea
315
00:16:22,606 --> 00:16:26,859
that not only do
otherworldly beings exist,
316
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:29,153
but that their purpose
in coming to Earth
317
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:32,490
has been to provide everything
from spiritual enlightenment
318
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:34,493
to scientific knowledge.
319
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:39,789
In 1999, NASA published a study
320
00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:44,001
called "The Societal
Implications of Astrobiology."
321
00:16:44,002 --> 00:16:46,963
What this study
was designed to do at its core
322
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:51,300
was evaluate the impact
of disclosure on religion.
323
00:16:51,301 --> 00:16:54,637
NASA views religion
as an adaptive tool
324
00:16:54,638 --> 00:16:57,390
that can help people
to answer questions
325
00:16:57,391 --> 00:16:59,600
that science can't answer
326
00:16:59,601 --> 00:17:01,644
because, in their view,
religion has been dealing
327
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:03,688
with extraterrestrials
for a long time.
328
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:07,859
People have been told to have
faith in otherworldly beings.
329
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:09,444
All of the major religions
330
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:12,739
have prophecies
of the return of a Christ,
331
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:15,324
a messiah, a savior figure.
332
00:17:15,325 --> 00:17:18,036
And very often
these returns involve
333
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,829
what appear to be,
in the description,
334
00:17:19,830 --> 00:17:23,708
some method
of cosmic transportation.
335
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:27,086
The Messiah comes
with an army of angels.
336
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:29,756
And the angels we know
from biblical definition
337
00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:32,884
are certainly not human
by any standards.
338
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:36,637
They are by every standard
of definition extraterrestrial.
339
00:17:36,638 --> 00:17:41,601
The shock
of extraterrestrials being here
340
00:17:41,602 --> 00:17:43,352
and having been here
for thousands of years
341
00:17:43,353 --> 00:17:45,980
will really change society.
342
00:17:45,981 --> 00:17:49,400
Eventually, everyone
on planet Earth will realize
343
00:17:49,401 --> 00:17:52,069
that we are not alone.
344
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:54,155
Is it possible
345
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:56,449
that the religious concept
of a messiah
346
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:59,660
who returns to Earth
for the betterment of mankind
347
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:02,955
was based on a message
given to our ancestors
348
00:18:02,956 --> 00:18:05,875
by otherworldly beings?
349
00:18:05,876 --> 00:18:09,420
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
350
00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:12,590
that the answer
is a resounding yes
351
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:15,635
and that not only
was such a visitation promised,
352
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:17,805
but that it is
already occurring.
353
00:18:25,729 --> 00:18:28,898
March 2018.
354
00:18:28,899 --> 00:18:31,776
Author and researcher
Andrew Collins
355
00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:33,778
travels to Sheffield, England,
356
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:36,697
to witness
a remarkable demonstration.
357
00:18:36,698 --> 00:18:38,491
- Hi, guys.
- Hello.
358
00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:39,659
- Andrew, how are you?
- Ah, Chris.
359
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:40,701
- Pleasure.
- I'm Milton.
360
00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:42,078
He is meeting
361
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,206
with microbiologist
Milton Wainwright
362
00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:46,749
and engineer Chris Rose,
363
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:50,086
two members of the research team
who are convinced
364
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:53,089
that life on Earth
may have originated in space
365
00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:56,092
through a process
known as panspermia,
366
00:18:56,093 --> 00:19:00,805
a theory that dates as far back
as the fifth century BC.
367
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:03,724
According to the theory,
microbial life
368
00:19:03,725 --> 00:19:06,936
is capable of traveling
through the universe
369
00:19:06,937 --> 00:19:11,649
and may on occasion survive
entry into Earth's atmosphere.
370
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,276
I understand you've made
371
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:14,527
some incredible discoveries.
372
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:15,695
Please tell me all about it.
373
00:19:15,696 --> 00:19:17,947
In the early 2000s, my colleague
374
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:19,407
Chandra Wickramasinghe,
375
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:22,159
um, we were launching balloons
from India.
376
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,746
And these were sampling the air
at 41 kilometers.
377
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:28,165
And they showed that organisms
378
00:19:28,166 --> 00:19:30,293
are continually arriving
all the time.
379
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:33,004
Panspermia
is extremely simple idea.
380
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:35,840
Basically, it's the idea
that life came from space.
381
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:39,176
Instead of being formed on this
planet, it came from space.
382
00:19:39,177 --> 00:19:42,013
My findings
relate to panspermia simply,
383
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:44,307
and they show
that organisms are coming in
384
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:46,142
at this very moment from space.
385
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:49,645
Tell me how you actually collect
these samples.
386
00:19:49,646 --> 00:19:51,063
This is our, our balloon
387
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:53,191
that's gonna give us
the buoyancy from the...
388
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,067
the hydrogen gas here.
389
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:56,611
Now, our capture mechanism
is right here.
390
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:57,653
Let me show you this.
391
00:19:57,654 --> 00:20:01,616
This exposes little metal
stubs to the environment.
392
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:04,952
And you're looking to see
if you can get microbes
393
00:20:04,953 --> 00:20:07,288
coming from the upper atmosphere
394
00:20:07,289 --> 00:20:09,165
- and not from the Earth itself?
- That's right.
395
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:10,791
All the critics say
they're coming from Earth
396
00:20:10,792 --> 00:20:12,376
because we're surrounded
by life.
397
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:14,503
But we have lots of evidence
that this material
398
00:20:14,504 --> 00:20:15,922
is not coming from Earth.
399
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,840
It's incoming from space.
400
00:20:17,841 --> 00:20:19,258
I mean, it sounds incredible.
401
00:20:19,259 --> 00:20:20,927
I mean, have you ever lost
any of these?
402
00:20:20,928 --> 00:20:22,678
No, and we're not
about to start today.
403
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:24,805
- So fingers crossed, guys.
- Brilliant.
404
00:20:24,806 --> 00:20:26,349
The team moves the balloon
405
00:20:26,350 --> 00:20:28,726
into launch position,
from which it will ascend
406
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:33,272
more than 37 kilometers,
or 23 miles, into the air.
407
00:20:33,273 --> 00:20:35,149
Okay, guys. Ready?
408
00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:37,193
Andrew, on you. Countdown, please.
Okay.
409
00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:41,489
Five, four, three, two, one.
410
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:43,575
Let it go! Oh, there it goes.
411
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:48,704
Once the balloon
reaches its target altitude
412
00:20:48,705 --> 00:20:50,790
within the Earth's stratosphere,
413
00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:54,126
the capture mechanism
will hopefully collect samples
414
00:20:54,127 --> 00:20:57,672
of non-Earth-based
microbial life.
415
00:20:57,673 --> 00:21:02,343
After the sampling is
complete, the balloon bursts,
416
00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:04,929
and the capture mechanism
descends back to Earth
417
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:08,140
under the safety of a parachute.
418
00:21:08,141 --> 00:21:11,519
The team uses GPS tracking
to locate
419
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,229
where the mechanism lands.
420
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:16,190
Once retrieved,
the sample is quickly secured
421
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:17,817
in a sealed container
422
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:20,152
so that it does not
become contaminated
423
00:21:20,153 --> 00:21:22,364
with microbes from Earth.
424
00:21:26,326 --> 00:21:28,536
Moments later,
425
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:31,122
Andrew joins Milton and Chris
at a nearby laboratory.
426
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:32,832
Here they will extract
427
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:35,376
the microbes
inside a sterilized clean room
428
00:21:35,377 --> 00:21:36,711
and then analyze them
429
00:21:36,712 --> 00:21:38,254
to make sure no Earth microbes
430
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:41,465
have contaminated the sample.
431
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:43,092
A clean room.
432
00:21:43,093 --> 00:21:46,262
- Mm-hmm.
- How can you ensure the sterilization?
433
00:21:46,263 --> 00:21:47,680
What are the protocols
434
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:49,849
- behind this process?
- Right.
435
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:52,268
It's really all about
sterilizing the air inside,
436
00:21:52,269 --> 00:21:55,396
to make sure the air inside
contains no microorganisms.
437
00:21:55,397 --> 00:21:58,524
So all the air is filtered.
438
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:16,667
Milton and Chris
remove the carbon tabs
439
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:18,044
from the capture mechanism
440
00:22:18,045 --> 00:22:21,589
and place them
into vacuum-sealed containers.
441
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,675
This will further prevent
contamination while they view
442
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:27,763
the samples with
a scanning electron microscope.
443
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,893
Wow. What on earth is that?
444
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:36,353
I can tell
that this is biological.
445
00:22:36,354 --> 00:22:38,856
If you analyze this,
I'm pretty certain
446
00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:41,108
this will show
as carbon, oxygen,
447
00:22:41,109 --> 00:22:43,027
and a little bit of nitrogen.
448
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:45,613
Now, that's the signature
for life.
449
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:47,948
We're saying that this piece
450
00:22:47,949 --> 00:22:49,909
of biological life could
451
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:52,912
- potentially be extraterrestrial in origin?
- Right.
452
00:22:52,913 --> 00:22:55,915
There's nothing from Earth
around it. It's pristine.
453
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:57,833
So it's incoming.
454
00:22:57,834 --> 00:23:00,461
Now, if we do a bit of,
um, modeling studies,
455
00:23:00,462 --> 00:23:02,880
we come to the conclusion
that nothing bigger
456
00:23:02,881 --> 00:23:05,925
than six microns can go out.
457
00:23:05,926 --> 00:23:07,468
And this is 200.
458
00:23:07,469 --> 00:23:12,348
So it's a very large particle,
and it's coming in.
459
00:23:12,349 --> 00:23:14,350
What we actually could be
looking at here
460
00:23:14,351 --> 00:23:17,603
is a genuine alien life-form?
461
00:23:17,604 --> 00:23:19,522
What you're looking at there
462
00:23:19,523 --> 00:23:21,649
is an organism
or a clump of organisms
463
00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:24,945
that is incoming
from space to Earth.
464
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:28,656
Nothing bigger than six microns
465
00:23:28,657 --> 00:23:31,659
can go from the surface
of the Earth
466
00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:33,869
to these altitudes
that we sample at.
467
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:36,580
And yet we are finding particles
468
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:39,166
all the way up to 200.
469
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:41,252
They can't be coming up
from Earth.
470
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,628
Absolutely amazing.
471
00:23:42,629 --> 00:23:43,921
It's blown my head off.
472
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:46,757
Biological organisms
473
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:50,511
not from Earth
but from somewhere in space?
474
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:52,930
Could we be looking
at actual evidence
475
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:56,559
of a living organism
from a world other than our own?
476
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,312
We've actually found
evidence of what could be
477
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:04,608
extraterrestrial
biological entities.
478
00:24:04,609 --> 00:24:08,404
To see those images
was extraordinary,
479
00:24:08,405 --> 00:24:11,782
and it's convinced me
that the Earth
480
00:24:11,783 --> 00:24:15,786
is surrounded by life
that almost certainly came
481
00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:18,080
from outer space.
482
00:24:18,081 --> 00:24:20,167
This is one we took earlier,
as they say.
483
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:25,838
This is the most amazing image
I've ever seen in my life.
484
00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:28,090
It's got biological material
here.
485
00:24:28,091 --> 00:24:30,426
And this material
we know contains
486
00:24:30,427 --> 00:24:32,386
carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
487
00:24:32,387 --> 00:24:34,722
So this is biological.
488
00:24:34,723 --> 00:24:37,641
When we analyzed the ball,
we found it contained titanium
489
00:24:37,642 --> 00:24:39,226
and a small amount of vanadium.
490
00:24:39,227 --> 00:24:41,437
So this is a titanium sphere
491
00:24:41,438 --> 00:24:43,647
with life inside
and life on the outside.
492
00:24:43,648 --> 00:24:45,191
Now, what on earth is it?
493
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:50,029
One possibility is that
this is directed panspermia.
494
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:54,575
Some civilization has put
biological material
495
00:24:54,576 --> 00:24:56,911
inside and just on the outside
of this thing
496
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:58,829
and they've spewed it out.
497
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:01,081
And this suggests
that some alien
498
00:25:01,082 --> 00:25:03,542
civilization is seeding planets.
499
00:25:03,543 --> 00:25:07,963
This smoking gun
of, uh, panspermia
500
00:25:07,964 --> 00:25:10,090
or even directed panspermia
501
00:25:10,091 --> 00:25:13,052
could give us
the best evidence yet
502
00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:16,680
that aliens, in some form,
503
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:19,433
seeded life on this Earth,
504
00:25:19,434 --> 00:25:21,895
which is an incredible thought.
505
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:25,606
NASA have, uh,
506
00:25:25,607 --> 00:25:29,485
a department known as the Office
of Planetary Protection
507
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:32,279
- to safeguard, uh, the Earth
- Right.
508
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,865
From extraterrestrial
biological entities...
509
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:37,076
- whatever you want to call them...
- Yeah.
510
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:41,039
From actually penetrating
into the Earth's atmosphere.
511
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:48,128
There are extremely detailed
plans and protocols
512
00:25:48,129 --> 00:25:50,881
for bringing back any probe
513
00:25:50,882 --> 00:25:54,385
that we send to another planet
or moon
514
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:55,886
or asteroid.
515
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,055
The protocols that are in place
516
00:25:58,056 --> 00:26:03,102
shut out the possibility
of us studying
517
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:06,689
actual biological entities
that may exist
518
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:10,025
on the edge
of our own stratosphere
519
00:26:10,026 --> 00:26:13,070
that have arrived here
from deep space themself.
520
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:16,532
Uh, and I find that very sad,
very tragic.
521
00:26:16,533 --> 00:26:18,492
If extraterrestrial microbes
522
00:26:18,493 --> 00:26:20,369
are landing on our planet,
523
00:26:20,370 --> 00:26:23,831
can NASA's strict protocols
really protect us
524
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:26,542
from biological contamination?
525
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:29,253
Or could it be
that the contamination
526
00:26:29,254 --> 00:26:33,173
is not only unstoppable
but it is the very method
527
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:35,843
by which life on Earth
began to evolve
528
00:26:35,844 --> 00:26:38,805
millions of years ago?
529
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:46,645
October 4, 1957.
530
00:26:46,646 --> 00:26:49,815
The Soviet Union launches
Sputnik 1,
531
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:53,068
the first satellite
to orbit the Earth.
532
00:26:53,069 --> 00:26:55,988
Its success stunned the world
533
00:26:55,989 --> 00:26:59,116
and shocked the United States
into action.
534
00:26:59,117 --> 00:27:02,119
The space race was on.
535
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,414
And with it
came the creation of NASA,
536
00:27:05,415 --> 00:27:08,584
the government's first
fully funded agency charged
537
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:11,211
with not only putting humans
into space
538
00:27:11,212 --> 00:27:15,716
but to have a man land
on the Moon by 1969.
539
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:19,219
In fact,
so thorough was NASA's focus
540
00:27:19,220 --> 00:27:22,306
on all aspects
of space exploration
541
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:25,100
that it commissioned a study
on "the implications"
542
00:27:25,101 --> 00:27:28,270
of a discovery
of extraterrestrial life,"
543
00:27:28,271 --> 00:27:32,524
otherwise known
as the Brookings Report.
544
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:36,111
The Brookings Institute
report didn't just ask,
545
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,780
are there aliens out there?
546
00:27:37,781 --> 00:27:39,907
It took it to the next level
and said,
547
00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:41,867
what happens when we find them?
548
00:27:41,868 --> 00:27:44,536
The implications
549
00:27:44,537 --> 00:27:48,791
of discovering extraterrestrial
life are profound,
550
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:53,337
and they're implications that go
across all levels of society.
551
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:58,717
Politics, economics, religion,
technology, science.
552
00:27:58,718 --> 00:28:01,470
Everything will be affected.
553
00:28:01,471 --> 00:28:03,806
The Brookings Report
specifically says
554
00:28:03,807 --> 00:28:05,432
you should release information,
555
00:28:05,433 --> 00:28:07,768
little by little, bit by bit,
556
00:28:07,769 --> 00:28:09,978
so that people
get culturally acclimated
557
00:28:09,979 --> 00:28:12,606
to the idea of aliens
and extraterrestrials.
558
00:28:12,607 --> 00:28:14,441
We've always speculated,
559
00:28:14,442 --> 00:28:16,485
those of us in broadcasting,
560
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:18,237
why isn't government
coming forward,
561
00:28:18,238 --> 00:28:20,906
telling us what's going on,
telling us the truth?
562
00:28:20,907 --> 00:28:23,659
And a lot of people cite
the old Brookings Report
563
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:26,870
that basically said
we can't handle the truth.
564
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:28,580
There'd be mass chaos.
565
00:28:28,581 --> 00:28:30,582
Religions would collapse.
566
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:32,209
Governments would collapse.
567
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,586
So the government has decided,
568
00:28:34,587 --> 00:28:36,713
we're not saying anything.
569
00:28:36,714 --> 00:28:39,675
Does the existence
of the Brookings Report
570
00:28:39,676 --> 00:28:42,428
provide evidence that not only
571
00:28:42,429 --> 00:28:45,097
does the United States
have protocols and procedures
572
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:49,101
in place in the event
of extraterrestrial contact
573
00:28:49,102 --> 00:28:52,396
but that such protocols have
deliberately been kept a secret
574
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:55,899
from the American public
for nearly 60 years?
575
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,444
But if so, why?
576
00:28:58,445 --> 00:29:02,781
I do not believe
that government, essentially,
577
00:29:02,782 --> 00:29:06,326
is negative, evil and harmful,
deceptive or lying.
578
00:29:06,327 --> 00:29:09,204
We should look back to 1938,
579
00:29:09,205 --> 00:29:13,459
when Orson Welles did his famous
radio program on Halloween night
580
00:29:13,460 --> 00:29:15,210
called War of the Worlds,
581
00:29:15,211 --> 00:29:17,671
wherein which,
through an enactment,
582
00:29:17,672 --> 00:29:20,090
New York was to be invaded.
583
00:29:20,091 --> 00:29:24,136
People around the country
listening to this radio program
584
00:29:24,137 --> 00:29:25,888
were terrified.
585
00:29:25,889 --> 00:29:27,514
The
machines are close together now,
586
00:29:27,515 --> 00:29:28,891
and we're ready to attack.
587
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:31,143
Planes circling,
ready to strike.
588
00:29:31,144 --> 00:29:34,563
Our government's
learned from this.
589
00:29:34,564 --> 00:29:37,691
People will panic.
590
00:29:37,692 --> 00:29:40,360
Some people have thought that
591
00:29:40,361 --> 00:29:42,821
it's important
to-to prepare the public.
592
00:29:42,822 --> 00:29:44,448
You know,
I've always said I think
593
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:46,366
the American public
can handle the truth.
594
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:49,620
The government would do well
to be more open
595
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:51,705
about what it's done
in the past,
596
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:53,582
what it learned in the past,
597
00:29:53,583 --> 00:29:56,793
what it's doing today, uh,
and what it'll do in the future.
598
00:29:56,794 --> 00:30:00,047
But while the U.S.
government does not acknowledge
599
00:30:00,048 --> 00:30:02,966
having any official protocols
for first contact,
600
00:30:02,967 --> 00:30:05,886
it makes no secret
of its ongoing efforts
601
00:30:05,887 --> 00:30:10,808
to explore the possibilities of
extraterrestrial communication.
602
00:30:12,644 --> 00:30:15,187
Cape Canaveral, Florida.
603
00:30:15,188 --> 00:30:19,733
September 5, 1977.
604
00:30:19,734 --> 00:30:23,278
NASA launches
the Voyager 1 probe.
605
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:26,615
Its mission is to journey
to Jupiter, Saturn,
606
00:30:26,616 --> 00:30:31,328
Uranus, and Neptune and send
back important information.
607
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:34,206
But perhaps more interesting
than the information
608
00:30:34,207 --> 00:30:36,833
Voyager 1 was programmed
to collect
609
00:30:36,834 --> 00:30:40,170
was the information
it was carrying with it.
610
00:30:40,171 --> 00:30:43,382
The two Voyager
spacecraft were each launched
611
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:46,552
in 1977 on a mission
of exploration
612
00:30:46,553 --> 00:30:48,637
of the outer solar system.
613
00:30:48,638 --> 00:30:50,639
And both of them kept on going,
614
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,308
to leave the solar system,
uh, forever.
615
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:55,143
They weren't coming back.
616
00:30:55,144 --> 00:30:57,980
And as a result of this,
NASA invited Carl
617
00:30:57,981 --> 00:31:01,608
to put a message on both
of the Voyager spacecraft.
618
00:31:01,609 --> 00:31:04,486
As conceived
by a team of experts
619
00:31:04,487 --> 00:31:06,947
led by famed astronomer
Carl Sagan,
620
00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:09,575
Voyager's so-called
Golden Record
621
00:31:09,576 --> 00:31:13,161
was designed to send greetings
from the people of planet Earth
622
00:31:13,162 --> 00:31:16,290
to whatever form of alien life
it might encounter
623
00:31:16,291 --> 00:31:19,751
that had intelligence enough
to decode it.
624
00:31:19,752 --> 00:31:22,796
I'd been collaborating with Carl
for about five years.
625
00:31:22,797 --> 00:31:26,216
We shared a passion
for this topic...
626
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:29,469
Extraterrestrial intelligence
and how to communicate with it...
627
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:32,806
And I happened to be at the
right place at the right time
628
00:31:32,807 --> 00:31:34,975
when he was trying to form
a small team
629
00:31:34,976 --> 00:31:36,268
to actually make the message.
630
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:39,313
I was a design director
on the project,
631
00:31:39,314 --> 00:31:41,898
and my main role was designing,
632
00:31:41,899 --> 00:31:45,485
with Frank Drake,
the series of photographs
633
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:49,364
and diagrams that show what the
Earth and human beings are like.
634
00:31:49,365 --> 00:31:51,325
The Golden Record kick-started
635
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:54,536
this thought process,
this approach to philosophy of,
636
00:31:54,537 --> 00:31:56,371
how do we define who we are
637
00:31:56,372 --> 00:31:59,249
if we came across
an intelligent civilization?
638
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,627
How would we represent
ourselves?
639
00:32:01,628 --> 00:32:04,630
The Golden Record
shows Earth on a good day.
640
00:32:04,631 --> 00:32:06,715
Some of our best music,
641
00:32:06,716 --> 00:32:09,843
a lot of pleasant-looking people
saying hello.
642
00:32:09,844 --> 00:32:13,305
No war, no poverty,
no injustice.
643
00:32:13,306 --> 00:32:15,641
And this was by design.
644
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:19,478
First of all, it's not obvious
how you would show these things
645
00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:21,480
to an extraterrestrial.
646
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:26,276
I mean, a starving baby evokes a
huge emotional reaction from us.
647
00:32:26,277 --> 00:32:29,613
Maybe a baby is supposed to look
that way. They wouldn't know.
648
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:31,865
It seemed important to me,
649
00:32:31,866 --> 00:32:34,493
in being asked
to design this thing,
650
00:32:34,494 --> 00:32:36,828
that it should tell a story.
651
00:32:36,829 --> 00:32:39,331
And the story is,
of course, our story.
652
00:32:39,332 --> 00:32:44,211
It's a story of our planet,
it's a story of life,
653
00:32:44,212 --> 00:32:49,132
it's a story of humans,
and it's a story of our future.
654
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:51,009
In terms of the protocols
655
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:53,387
that we would use
in actually replying back
656
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:56,390
to a message that we got from
an intelligent civilization,
657
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:58,600
different experts
have different opinions.
658
00:32:58,601 --> 00:33:00,394
Some people believe
that we should try
659
00:33:00,395 --> 00:33:02,562
and represent the best version
of ourselves.
660
00:33:02,563 --> 00:33:04,314
On the other end
of the spectrum,
661
00:33:04,315 --> 00:33:07,025
you could potentially upload
the entire Internet,
662
00:33:07,026 --> 00:33:08,652
along with all
of our dark sides,
663
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:11,071
so that you could have a full
and complete picture
664
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:13,032
of who we are as a species.
665
00:33:14,951 --> 00:33:18,161
Does NASA's
involvement in the design
666
00:33:18,162 --> 00:33:21,456
and implementation
of Carl Sagan's Golden Record
667
00:33:21,457 --> 00:33:24,251
provide evidence
of the government's belief
668
00:33:24,252 --> 00:33:27,879
that intelligent life exists
in the universe?
669
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,007
If so,
is that belief the product
670
00:33:31,008 --> 00:33:34,594
of mere scientific speculation,
or a conviction
671
00:33:34,595 --> 00:33:38,974
based on previous
extraterrestrial encounters?
672
00:33:38,975 --> 00:33:42,936
For the answer, ancient
astronaut theorists point
673
00:33:42,937 --> 00:33:45,355
to the government's long history
674
00:33:45,356 --> 00:33:49,485
of trying to establish
secret alien communications.
675
00:33:56,075 --> 00:33:58,076
Washington, D.C.
676
00:33:58,077 --> 00:34:01,413
March 24, 1961.
677
00:34:01,414 --> 00:34:05,292
The Brookings Report, the first
official government document
678
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:07,836
to suggest protocols
for what to do
679
00:34:07,837 --> 00:34:11,465
in the event of alien contact,
is submitted
680
00:34:11,466 --> 00:34:14,009
to the House Committee
on Science and Astronautics
681
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:17,763
and entered
into the Congressional Record.
682
00:34:17,764 --> 00:34:20,015
But ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
683
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:24,436
that those protocols
weren't new,
684
00:34:24,437 --> 00:34:26,938
but, in fact, had been in place
685
00:34:26,939 --> 00:34:30,650
ever since President Harry
Truman ordered an investigation
686
00:34:30,651 --> 00:34:34,405
into the famed Roswell incident
in 1947.
687
00:34:36,157 --> 00:34:39,409
Truman,
inside of his administration,
688
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:41,703
reached out to scientists,
689
00:34:41,704 --> 00:34:45,081
reached out to military people,
reached out to businessmen,
690
00:34:45,082 --> 00:34:48,960
formed this group called
Majestic 12... MJ-12...
691
00:34:48,961 --> 00:34:52,214
To do research
and report to him.
692
00:34:52,215 --> 00:34:55,258
And no one outside
is to know anything
693
00:34:55,259 --> 00:34:59,429
about UFOs, E.T.s,
crash retrievals,
694
00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:02,265
bodies, any of it.
695
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:05,310
There is actually
a document called
696
00:35:05,311 --> 00:35:08,146
The Majestic 12
Special Operations Manual,
697
00:35:08,147 --> 00:35:11,191
which actually describes
698
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:15,320
what a military officer
or enlisted man should do
699
00:35:15,321 --> 00:35:19,825
should he encounter
a crashed UFO,
700
00:35:19,826 --> 00:35:22,160
should he encounter
an extraterrestrial being,
701
00:35:22,161 --> 00:35:25,080
alive or dead, and how the body
should be disposed of.
702
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:29,376
And it's a very,
very detailed set of protocols,
703
00:35:29,377 --> 00:35:32,671
basically for how to handle it
if you run into E.T.
704
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:36,925
Aerospace engineer
Dr. Robert Wood
705
00:35:36,926 --> 00:35:40,428
was one of the first people
to examine the MJ-12 documents.
706
00:35:40,429 --> 00:35:42,806
It is his opinion, based in part
707
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:45,809
on the descriptions
of spacecraft in the documents,
708
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:51,022
that the Special Operations
Manual is genuine.
709
00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:55,026
The Special Operations Manual is
remarkable in several ways.
710
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:59,281
It gives detailed descriptions
of four shapes of UFOs.
711
00:35:59,282 --> 00:36:01,491
Another thing is that it talks
712
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:04,202
about extraterrestrial
biological entities.
713
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:07,455
The Majestic 12
talks very frankly
714
00:36:07,456 --> 00:36:10,792
about extraterrestrial
biological entities,
715
00:36:10,793 --> 00:36:13,003
and their protocols.
716
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:16,382
There is under Chapter Five,
"Encounters..."
717
00:36:27,059 --> 00:36:30,604
And that is tied
718
00:36:30,605 --> 00:36:34,024
to what happened to
Lonnie Zamora down in Socorro.
719
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:40,071
On April 24, 1964, there
was a New Mexico police officer
720
00:36:40,072 --> 00:36:43,575
in Socorro, New Mexico
named Lonnie Zamora who noticed
721
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:46,161
what appeared to him to be
some sort of wrecked vehicle
722
00:36:46,162 --> 00:36:47,579
off the side of the road.
723
00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:49,748
So he pulled his police car over
724
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:51,708
and he started
to walk towards it.
725
00:36:51,709 --> 00:36:53,919
When he got closer
to the vehicle,
726
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,588
he realized that it was
some sort of egg-shaped craft
727
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:59,758
with these four landing legs
728
00:36:59,759 --> 00:37:02,052
that were stuck into the ground,
and he saw two beings
729
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:05,472
who were in silver suits.
730
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:07,515
And the two beings went back
inside the craft,
731
00:37:07,516 --> 00:37:09,768
and the object took off
and sped away.
732
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:14,105
And when another officer
came back out to the site,
733
00:37:14,106 --> 00:37:18,026
they went to where the craft
had landed, and they discovered
734
00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:19,986
four holes in the ground
735
00:37:19,987 --> 00:37:23,156
where the landing legs had stuck
into the dirt.
736
00:37:23,157 --> 00:37:30,205
Lonnie Zamora's encounter
made headlines in 1964.
737
00:37:30,206 --> 00:37:32,540
Since then, further information
738
00:37:32,541 --> 00:37:35,168
about the incident
has become available online
739
00:37:35,169 --> 00:37:37,170
from leaked government files.
740
00:37:37,171 --> 00:37:40,799
Files, which, if genuine,
corroborate the protocols
741
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,970
that are described
in the MJ-12 documents.
742
00:37:47,348 --> 00:37:49,140
In the Serpo documents,
they talk
743
00:37:49,141 --> 00:37:51,977
about the Ebens, as they were
named, and arrangements
744
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:55,981
for them to actually land
and have a diplomatic exchange
745
00:37:55,982 --> 00:37:57,732
with U.S. government officials
746
00:37:57,733 --> 00:38:00,235
at White Sands Missile Range
in New Mexico.
747
00:38:00,236 --> 00:38:02,153
What's explained
in the documents
748
00:38:02,154 --> 00:38:05,323
is that the Zamora sighting
is actually
749
00:38:05,324 --> 00:38:09,035
the two emissaries who had got
the coordinates wrong
750
00:38:09,036 --> 00:38:11,287
and had actually landed
in the wrong place.
751
00:38:11,288 --> 00:38:13,164
Is it possible
752
00:38:13,165 --> 00:38:16,167
that the United States
government is not only aware of,
753
00:38:16,168 --> 00:38:20,756
but possibly in contact with,
extraterrestrial beings?
754
00:38:22,341 --> 00:38:26,261
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and suggest
755
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:28,722
that the United Nations may even
have an ambassador
756
00:38:28,723 --> 00:38:31,308
to extraterrestrials.
757
00:38:37,356 --> 00:38:39,983
September 2010.
758
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:44,154
News organizations
across the globe report
759
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:48,325
that the United Nations Office
of Outer Space Affairs intends
760
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:52,078
to draft a series of protocols
on what to do when first contact
761
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:57,292
with an extraterrestrial
civilization is officially made.
762
00:38:57,293 --> 00:38:59,919
The story causes a sensation,
763
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,630
but then, after a few days,
764
00:39:02,631 --> 00:39:06,051
the story mysteriously
disappears.
765
00:39:06,052 --> 00:39:09,262
When pressed
for further information,
766
00:39:09,263 --> 00:39:14,642
officials at the United Nations
have refused to comment.
767
00:39:14,643 --> 00:39:17,270
The United Nations announced
768
00:39:17,271 --> 00:39:19,481
that it would create
some protocols
769
00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:21,900
for extraterrestrial contact,
770
00:39:21,901 --> 00:39:24,819
but so far
they have not given those to us.
771
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:28,156
Just because protocols
have not been announced
772
00:39:28,157 --> 00:39:30,408
doesn't mean
that they don't exist.
773
00:39:30,409 --> 00:39:33,578
I believe that these protocols
are already established,
774
00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:38,041
and, in fact, we are already in
contact with extraterrestrials.
775
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:40,752
The United Nations have said,
776
00:39:40,753 --> 00:39:44,297
"Do not come to us
with questions like this
777
00:39:44,298 --> 00:39:47,425
until there's
an international consensus."
778
00:39:47,426 --> 00:39:50,720
Well, there is no international
consensus on this.
779
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:53,306
Imagine if aliens
showed up here tomorrow
780
00:39:53,307 --> 00:39:55,350
and said,
"Take me to your leader,"
781
00:39:55,351 --> 00:39:57,477
like you always see in the
movies or hear in the stories.
782
00:39:57,478 --> 00:40:00,188
Well, who would that be?
A lot of people think,
783
00:40:00,189 --> 00:40:02,190
"Oh, it's the Secretary General
of the U.N."
784
00:40:02,191 --> 00:40:05,443
Uh, well, maybe, maybe not.
785
00:40:05,444 --> 00:40:07,278
What they would look at is
786
00:40:07,279 --> 00:40:10,698
who has the largest industrial
machine on the planet.
787
00:40:10,699 --> 00:40:13,493
And I would say
it would have to be
788
00:40:13,494 --> 00:40:16,037
the president
of the United States,
789
00:40:16,038 --> 00:40:17,997
the president of Russia
and of China.
790
00:40:17,998 --> 00:40:19,624
They'd have
to be there together.
791
00:40:19,625 --> 00:40:22,961
But if intelligent beings
792
00:40:22,962 --> 00:40:25,797
are technologically advanced
enough to travel to Earth,
793
00:40:25,798 --> 00:40:31,427
whose protocols will
matter more... ours or theirs?
794
00:40:31,428 --> 00:40:34,848
As we prepare
for this worldwide reality
795
00:40:34,849 --> 00:40:39,060
of extraterrestrial life being
known here on planet Earth,
796
00:40:39,061 --> 00:40:41,396
we have to see
that the extraterrestrials
797
00:40:41,397 --> 00:40:44,566
are gonna have different
protocols than we would have
798
00:40:44,567 --> 00:40:46,526
that will be
far more sophisticated
799
00:40:46,527 --> 00:40:49,195
than anything we can conceive.
800
00:40:49,196 --> 00:40:52,198
And we will have
to really follow their lead
801
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:57,412
in how we interact with them
and other extraterrestrials
802
00:40:57,413 --> 00:41:00,039
as we go into space ourselves.
803
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,251
Are these two worlds
that are about to meet...
804
00:41:03,252 --> 00:41:05,086
Are they compatible?
805
00:41:05,087 --> 00:41:09,883
And I say yes
because we come from out there.
806
00:41:09,884 --> 00:41:14,012
Because in Native American
culture, there are legends
807
00:41:14,013 --> 00:41:18,558
of 13 inhabited worlds,
planets out there,
808
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:20,602
and we are the youngest.
809
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:23,938
This world is called
"the planet of the children."
810
00:41:23,939 --> 00:41:26,441
And what does a child do?
811
00:41:26,442 --> 00:41:29,694
I think children... they listen,
they soak up the knowledge.
812
00:41:29,695 --> 00:41:33,865
So I think it's time for us to
look more at our ancient past,
813
00:41:33,866 --> 00:41:35,575
look at the traditions,
814
00:41:35,576 --> 00:41:39,662
and see and learn
that we've never been alone.
815
00:41:39,663 --> 00:41:42,916
As NASA eagerly prepares
816
00:41:42,917 --> 00:41:44,918
to send astronauts to Mars,
817
00:41:44,919 --> 00:41:48,296
it must face the fact
that it will be humans
818
00:41:48,297 --> 00:41:52,133
that will become the alien
visitors to another planet.
819
00:41:52,134 --> 00:41:57,764
And what will we do if we come
face-to-face with living proof
820
00:41:57,765 --> 00:42:00,600
that we are not alone?
821
00:42:00,601 --> 00:42:06,314
Will we welcome them,
or will they welcome us?
822
