NARRATOR: Ancient star rituals summoning higher powers

COPPENS: What the discipline of the *** is telling us

is that we can control time.

NARRATOR: Legends of otherworldly beings traveling through time...

It's not outside the realm of possibility that these aliens,

they are, in fact, time travelers.

NARRATOR: and scientific theory revealing the secrets of the universe.

If someone can travel faster than the speed of light, then

theoretically, someone could travel in time.

NARRATOR: Are alien beings really from out of this world,

or might they be evidence of man's future technological achievements?

You have to wonder if they weren't time-traveling

extraterrestrials, or even humans coming from our own future.

NARRATOR: Millions of people around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

And if so, might new evidence reveal the existence of time travelers?

NARRATOR: Bern, Switzerland.

September 26, 1905.

Albert Einstein publishes his special theory of relativity.

According to his astonishing scientific breakthrough, space

and time are one.

RONALD MALLETT: In the old theory of Newton, space was a

rigid container and time was an absolute flow.

In Einstein's theory, this was revolutionized.

Space now became a flexible medium, and time now could be altered.

MICHAEL DENNIN: Einstein realized that if you move

faster, the ticks on your clock actually change.

Prior to Einstein, no one understood that or would even

have expected that, because it only happens when you get very,

very close to the speed of light.

SARA SEAGER: There is a way within the laws of physics to

travel long distances and still be alive, and that actually is

related to special relativity and the idea that if you can

travel very, very close to the speed of light, time will slow

down for you.

And in this sense, if you could travel very near the speed of

light, only a day or two would pass, instead of the whole four years.

NARRATOR: January 30, 1933.

flees to the United States.

Fearing Hitler's rise to power, he warns the U.S. and the world

of terrible dangers posed to humanity, especially if Nazis

were to acquire advanced technology.

(loud rumbling)

But by revealing to the world his breakthrough theories, might

Einstein have accidentally helped the Nazis build a time machine?

Southwest Poland.

The Owl Mountains.

Here, concealed under rolling hills, were seven underground

complexes built for a top secret Nazi program called Die Glocke.

Some researchers believe it was in these covert facilities,

between 1943 and 1945, that Third Reich scientists carried

out clandestine experiments in an effort to win World War II.

JIM MARRS: They were developing lots of exotic things.

They were in charge of the V1, the V2 rocket programs.

But then, I think, the culmination of their experimentation was with

Die Glocke, or The Bell, and they called it that because it

was bell-shaped.

> MICHAEL BARA: And what this appeared to be was some sort of

device that had very, very powerful, rapidly rotating

energetic magnetic fields.

And there are thoughts that this basically was a time machine.

That the idea was that you would be able to move back and forth

in time, change history, change certain events, and create a new

time line and a new reality.

NARRATOR: The existence of the mysterious bell-shaped

device, measuring nine feet wide and 12 feet tall, was first

exposed by the high-ranking Nazi general Jakob Sporrenberg while

being interrogated by Polish authorities after the war.

But when the Allies eventually captured the German research

center, neither the Nazi Bell nor its project commander, Hans

Kammler, could be found.

BARA: Hans Kammler was in charge of all the super-secret Nazi technology.

And this guy just disappears after the war.

In fact, there are four official versions of his death.

(laughs): So nobody really knows how he died, when he died,

if he died, where he went, or what happened.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the German military was

experimenting with time travel technology?

And if so, might the Nazi Bell have actually traveled to the future?

(whooshing)

December 9, 1965.

(rumbling)

Thousands witness a brilliant fireball flash across the sky

before crashing in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, 30 miles southeast

of Pittsburgh.

(explosion)

MARRS: The military was immediately on the scene,

grabbed everything up, and then said nothing happened.

The thing that intrigues me about the Kecksburg crash is

the description of the object.

Unlike most of the flying saucers, this one was bulbous.

It has been described like an acorn, or, what I could see, is

kind of something that resembled the Nazi Bell.

NARRATOR: Might the object that crashed at Kecksburg have

been the long-lost Nazi Bell that disappeared 20 years earlier?

And is it possible that German scientists had discovered a way

to transport humans from one time and place to another, as

some researchers believe?

If so, did they use Einstein's theories to create their own time machine?

Or might their inspiration have been, perhaps... more divine?

Tibet. May, 1938.

While on an expedition through the northeast region of the

Himalayan Mountains, Nazi officials searching for the

origins of the Aryan, or master, race, instead discover the

Buddhist teachings known as the Kalachakra.

DOC BARHAM: In the Buddhist tradition, there's the notion

of Samsara, or the wheel of time.

In the Kalachakra initiation, the teaching is to understand

time, particularly biological time...

calendar time and astrological time, and how those things

actually influence you.

(men chanting)

PHILIP COPPENS: And so what the discipline of Kalachakra is

telling us is that whereas we seem to see time as linear, this

is not the case, that time is somehow cyclical, and that we

can somehow master this and control time.

DAVID CHILDRESS: Throughout the Buddhist world, the

Buddhists build, uh, what they call stupas.

They look very much like the Nazi Bell.

COPPENS: The stupas *** said that we can use this shape

to somehow connect with the gods.

Now, when we put the practice of Kalachakra on this, what we

are talking about is somehow a practice of transcending time.

BARHAM: The Kalachakra teaching gives individuals

actual practices and techniques to be able to step outside of

time, and to be able to move in time.

So it's entirely possible that the Nazis were looking for

secrets on how to travel in time.

NARRATOR: Is it really possible that the Nazis unlocked

the secrets of time travel during their expedition in Tibet?

And if so, might the early teachings of the Kalachakra be

evidence that ancient Tibetan Buddhist monks had knowledge of

time travel thousands of years ago, as some ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

Perhaps the answer can be found in the legends and rituals of an

ancient civilization in New Mexico.

(bird screeches)

NARRATOR: Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

In a remote desert region 150 miles northwest of Albuquerque

lie the mysterious ruins of an ancient Pueblo people.

Called the Anasazi, they thrived from 900 to 1100 AD.

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: This is the Plaza of Pueblo Bonito.

This is a representation of our place in the universe.

You've got the worlds above, the worlds below, and this right

here is our plane of our world.

This is the exact place where time and space began for the

ancestral Pueblans, who inhabited this place

hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

NARRATOR: Scholars believe the Anasazi, or ancient ones,

built their civilization with advanced knowledge of

engineering, mathematics and astronomy.

SEAN MORTON: Somehow, some way, they built a city that is

perfectly circular, that goes out in perfectly straight lines,

that the structures of the city themselves actually predict the

5,200-year cycle of the moon and cycles of the sun.

All in the geometry.

All in the stone, if you will.

MARSHALL KLARFIELD: These are very elaborate constructions

which required engineering skills beyond what the local folks had.

And it had to be done by an advanced civilization.

NANCY RED STAR: The Anasazi built Chaco Canyon.

And they built it as part of a promise of a way of living;

that they were to uphold the wishes of the Creator.

And so Chaco Canyon is the delivery of the teachings.

The teachings came from the star people.

NARRATOR: But how did these ancient people engineer such

elaborate structures without modern machinery?

And just who were the star people who brought knowledge to the Anasazi?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers can be found

by looking at the ancient rituals and myths of Chaco Canyon.

According to local legends, the Anasazi believed in a

multidimensional existence and practiced sacred rituals called

crystal stargazing; ceremonies believed by some to enable time travel.

RED STAR: If you go up into the cliff dwellings of the

Anasazi, there are elaborate star maps up in those caves.

And that's where the crystal stargazing ceremonies took

place where they had the ability to traverse space and time.

COPPENS: What we're seeing within this area are people who

basically say that they somehow emerged out of a different

dimension onto this place.

And they say that this for them is a place of emergence.

They say that they interacted with mysterious creatures.

NARRATOR: Did the Anasazi really believe in

interdimensional time travel, as some ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

If so, might they have left behind tangible evidence of

otherworldly contact?

TSOUKALOS: I'm standing in front of the petroglyphs at Una Vida.

And they're very amazing as you can tell, with animal life, but

there's also some very weird creature standing there,

humanoid figures, and one guy is holding what to me looks like

a representation of a spiral galaxy.

Native Americans were very aware of our place in the universe,

that we were part of a giant spiral galaxy.

RED STAR: The spiral symbol, the one that you see on the

walls, is a connection between the Anasazi and the extraterrestrials.

They had contact.

And they either came with them or they either left with them,

we just don't know.

But it's a bridge that existed between the Anasazi and the star people.

TSOUKALOS: Four very interesting humanoid petroglyphs

have been found, one of which hovers above the other three

humanoids with antennae sprouting out of its head.

Some would suggest that this is a depiction of the ancient Ant

People that emerged to essentially jump start human civilization.

NARRATOR: According to the legends of the Hopi, a Native

American tribe believed to be the descendants of the Anasazi,

the Ant People saved them from the first destruction of the universe.

WILLIAM HENRY: The Ant People are described as very special

cosmic visitors, maybe even star beings, extraterrestrials, who

rescued them from this cataclysm by taking them underground.

What's interesting about this is that in ancient Sumeria, they

tell of beings called the Annunaki, who also came from the stars.

The Hopi word, "anu" means "ant."

And the word "naki" means "friend."

Is it possible that the Annunaki are the ant friends or Ant

People that the Hopi were describing?

NARRATOR: Did the Annunaki of ancient Sumeria also appear

here in Chaco Canyon thousands of years ago as many ancient

astronaut theorists believe?

Perhaps the answer can be found in the local legend of the Wingmakers.

1972.

A group of hikers exploring a system of hidden caverns in

Chaco Canyon discovered wall paintings and even cuneiform

writing similar to those found on Sumerian artifacts.

After careful analysis, ancient astronaut theorists suggest that

the caverns were originally inhabited by beings visiting

from the future called the Wingmakers.

CHILDRESS: And the Wingmakers were-- they claimed-- humans,

and in a sense extraterrestrials from 300 years in the future.

And they were using Chaco Canyon as their base for this

time zone, where they were coming from the future into our present time.

RED STAR: My belief is that, yes, the Wingmakers were

the culture bearers bringing us a look at what our future was,

which was mathematics, it was science, it was art, it was cultivation.

NARRATOR: Might there be truth to the story of the time-

traveling Wingmakers at Chaco Canyon?

And if so, is it possible the Wingmakers were actually alien visitors?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest the evidence

still lies in Chaco Canyon.

TSOUKALOS: This is a kiva.

A kiva was known to be the most sacred of places where

ceremonies took place with the ancestral Pueblans when they

talked about the cosmos, and the universe and our place in the universe.

NARRATOR: Mainstream archeologists believe the kivas

were once covered with timber to make a roof.

But strangely, some Hopi legends refer to this circular structure

as a "cloud house."

TSOUKALOS: What if these cloud houses were nothing else

but biodomes or biospheres made of nuts and bolts?

It is interesting that biospheres today look as if

people are living sort of sunk into the ground with a giant

dome over it, and here we have something very similar.

So the question is, why would anybody do this, and according

to the ancient myths, they were witness to an incredible event

that had something to do with ancient aliens...

and to them, it was a divine encounter.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that alien beings inhabited

biospheres in Chaco Canyon, like those our own scientists

envision for future use on other planets?

And might they have traveled here not in spacecraft, but

through an interdimensional space-time portal?

But if so, where did they come from?

Perhaps answers can be found halfway around the world...

in the ancient Indian text of the Mahabharata.

The Mahabharata.

In this sacred Indian text, written in the eighth century

BC, King Revaita is described as traveling to the heavens to meet

with the creator god Brahma, only to return to Earth hundreds

of years in the future.

Some researchers believe this Hindu tale may be one of the

oldest records of successful time travel in the ancient past.

CHILDRESS: There's the story of a king called Revaita, and he is taken

into space to see the gods.

And when he returns to the Earth, he finds that many ages have gone by.

And it's been hundreds of years.

And this is a kind of thing that would happen to space

travelers and in time travel, as well.

You think you're gone for only a few days, but when you return to

Earth, you find out that you've been gone for hundreds of years.

NARRATOR: Like the legend of Chaco Canyon, similar tales of

time travel can be found all around the ancient world.

In Japan, the legend of Urashima Taro details a fisherman's visit

to the protector god of the sea-- Ryujin-- in an underwater

palace for what seemed like only three days.

CHILDRESS: When he returns to his fishing village, he finds

that it's been 300 years that he's been gone.

And his house is in ruins, everybody he knows is long dead,

no one remembers him or his family.

NARRATOR: And in the Hebrew Bible, descriptions of the

prophet Jeremiah in Jerusalem are eerily similar to both of

these accounts of time travel.

VON DANIKEN: In the Bible, the prophet Jeremiah was sitting

together with a few of his friends, and there was a young boy.

His name was Abemolik.

And Jeremiah said to Abemolik, "Go out of Jerusalem, there is a

hill and collect some figs for us."

The boy went out and collected the fresh figs.

All of a sudden, Abemolik hears some noise and wind in the air,

and he become unconscious, he had a blackout.

After a time he wakes up again, and he saw it was nearly the evening.

So when he runs back to the society and the city was full of

strange soldiers.

And he says, "What's going on here?

Where is Jeremiah and all the others?"

And an old man said, "That was 62 years ago."

It's a time travel story written in the Bible.

NARRATOR: Southern Egypt.

Agilkia Island.

Here, just six miles upstream from Aswan in the Nile River

Valley, lies the Temple of Isis.

Built in the fourth century BC, the temple was a center of

worship for the Egyptian goddess of fertility and nature until

the sixth century AD.

COPPENS: Isis became the most important deity which ancient

Egypt ever had.

She was married to her brother, Osiris, and together they really

became the popular husband and wife to which everybody wanted to be like.

She is seen as a symbol of life, whereas Osiris is seen as the

deity who rules over the death.

And so whether you are alive or whether you're dead, you can

always identify with Isis and Osiris.

NARRATOR: According to ancient Egyptian religious

belief, the goddess Isis was known as the Divine Mother, and

believed to be the soul of the brightest star in the sky... Sirius.

BARA: So to the ancient Egyptians, Osiris was Orion,

that constellation actually was a literal living embodiment

of the great god Osiris.

Sirius was the representation of his wife, sister and consort, Isis.

Together, those two essentially ruled the skies and the life of

the Egyptian people themselves.

CHILDRESS: Many ancient cultures, including the

Egyptians, Chinese, the Greeks, the Japanese, all had beliefs,

legends that our gods who created us have come from Sirius.

And this star is known to be extremely important star to

almost all ancient cultures.

HENRY: This knowledge originally emerged in ancient

Egypt and in Africa with the Dogon tribe, who taught that

beings of light came from Sirius and created humankind.

COPPENS: It is clear that so many cultures possessed

information about Sirius, and they single out Sirius apart

from everything else, and it's got nothing to with its brightness.

It has to do with the fact that somehow Sirius is responsible

for sending us emissaries who educate us.

NARRATOR: Could the Sirius star system really be the point

of origin for the gods of ancient man?

Or was it, in fact, the place of origin for extraterrestrial time

travelers, as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

According to astronomers, Sirius is approximately 8.5 light-years

away from Earth, an incredibly vast distance.

SETH SHOSTAK: A light-year is about six trillion miles, so

it's quite a ways to Sirius.

Our best rockets go about seven miles a second.

That's pretty fast, but even at that speed, to get to Sirius

would take about 200,000 years.

SEAGER: So far, the farthest humans have traveled is the

moon, at about 250,000 miles away.

Our next step will be Mars some day, but even that is a

huge, huge stretch for humans.

Six-month trip to Mars, and just being able to survive there

without oxygen and the things we

usually have around us is a huge challenge.

The distances are too vast, and

our technology is just nowhere near at level of being able to do that.

We got to the moon, and that's as far as we got.

That's not to say that another civilization couldn't have done that.

It's just, on Earth, we just don't have the technology to do that.

NARRATOR: What if interstellar distances were too great even for advanced

extraterrestrial beings?

Or might their level of technical sophistication be

beyond our wildest dreams?

COPPENS: Simply because it is impossible to us doesn't

mean it's impossible for everybody, and definitely when

it comes to beings out there who are able to transcend this

boundary of time, it is clear that they are not subject to

time in the way we are subject to it.

NARRATOR: Do some of the ancient myths and legends

provide proof of successful intergalactic time travel, as

ancient astronaut theorists believe?

If so, might time travel have allowed passage for alien

beings, as well as humans, to and from our world?

Perhaps the answers can be found in a laboratory deep underground

in Geneva, Switzerland.

Storrs, Connecticut.

January, 2012.

In a lab at the University of Connecticut, theoretical

physicist Ronald Mallett demonstrates his large-scale

model of a time machine.

Using a device called a ring laser that produces a

circulating beam of light, the professor hopes to prove that

the twisting light actually bends space, forming a loop in time.

MALLET: Now, what's happening here is that these lasers, even

though you can't see it,

they're actually creating a circulating pattern of light.

And that circulating pattern of light is actually twisting the

empty space in here.

The twisting of space will eventually lead to a twisting of time.

In Einstein's theory, the two are connected.

And that twisting of time will be where time travel's

occurring, because if you think of time as being a straight

line, then if we twist space, then what will happen eventually

is that that space will twist time into a loop.

So the breakthrough of my work was to use light to manipulate time.

And that should allow for the possibility of going back in

time using light.

NARRATOR: Although this is only a prototype, Mallett

believes he may be able to create a working time machine in

as little as ten years.

He believes the energy of the light beams will produce a

gravitational field strong enough to drag a spinning

neutron through time.

MALLETT: Let's say I'll call the spin up a one, and I'll call

spin down a zero.

So imagine I send a stream of neutrons with spin up, spin up,

spin down, spin up.

What do you call that?

That's binary code.

So by using the spin of neutrons, I can send a binary

code, which could be translated into a message.

NARRATOR: But could this technology ultimately be able to

send larger objects through time, like a person, or a spacecraft?

HENRY: Einstein's theory of relativity allowed for something

called the Einstein-Rosen bridge, which is what we today call a wormhole.

It opened up the possibility that we can travel from point A

on Earth to point B somewhere else in the universe as if there

were nothing in between.

NARRATOR: If the possibility exists to travel instantly from

one end of the universe to another through wormholes, might

there be evidence that such technology was used in the ancient past?

HENRY: The ancient Egyptians knew about star gate and wormhole travel.

The evidence there I discovered is at the Temple of Hathor at Dandera.

When you enter into this temple, you look up on this ceiling,

which is called the astronomical ceiling, and you see the gods as

ascended light beings traveling on their ships of eternity.

And it suggests to me that the ancients didn't use the term

"wormhole" for these time travel portals, but were clearly

talking about the same thing.

NARRATOR: Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists

believe, that advanced celestial beings traveled in time through

wormholes on their way to Earth?

Or might they have possessed an even more advanced time travel

technology, perhaps based on the complex science of quantum physics?

Geneva, Switzerland.

300 feet underground, in a tunnel more than 16 miles in

circumference, lies the world's greatest particle accelerator:

the Large Hadron Collider.

Completed in 2008 by the European Organization for

Nuclear Research, also known as CERN, the massive international

project may allow scientists to solve outstanding scientific

mysteries concerning the creation of the universe.

DENNIN: The Large Hadron Collider is a machine we use in

science to study how particles smaller than an atom behave.

The Large Hadron Collider is based on the principle of

accelerating protons, which are one of the key elements of the

nucleus of an atom, and you want to accelerate them up to very,

very high speeds basically in a circular motion and collide two

beams that are moving in opposite directions.

When you make this collision of the particles, you get a large

number of product particles out.

Just like when you collide any two objects, they smash and

break into pieces, the protons break into pieces.

And it allows us to study the fundamental particles that make

up all of matter.

NARRATOR: On December 13, 2011, scientists working with

the Large Hadron Collider announced their findings of

possible evidence for the existence of the Higgs boson, or

what some refer to as the God particle.

MALLETT: A number of physicists have discovered that

there is a link between the four forces of nature that we believe exist.

And you might say the glue that holds these together, we

believe, is this Higgs particle.

It gives particles their mass, and it also is the thing that

helps to bind the forces.

So discovering this God particle is a way of understanding the

possible unification of the forces of nature.

NARRATOR: Some scientists believe the discovery of

the so-called God particle may lead to the creation of the

Higgs singlet...

a particle believed to possess the ability to jump into

another dimension, move forward or backward in time, and appear

in the future or past.

In other words, it would make time travel possible.

SEAGER: We live in a three-dimensional world, and

sometimes people consider time a fourth dimension.

But some theories in physics, string theory, predict that

there are many, many more dimensions-- ten or 11 dimensions altogether.

Only, these dimensions are not accessible to us.

We don't see them.

Now, these dimensions are tiny, subatomic, smaller than

particles inside of an atom.

And if you could somehow travel along these other dimensions, it

would take you somewhere else entirely.

NARRATOR: Could other dimensions really exist that we

are not yet able to perceive?

If so, might advanced beings from a distant galaxy have

already mastered and utilized the God particle to visit Earth,

as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

TSOUKALOS: If you place a picture side by side of the

Hadron Collider and the Aztec calendar, there's an eerie

similarity between the two.

The Aztec calendar was known to be a gateway to the universe.

And the Hadron Collider is similar to that, because we are

trying to unlock the secrets of the universe with this machine.

And I find it fascinating that we have a carving from a long

time ago, and when compared to the modern-day Hadron Collider,

there is an eerie similarity.

Is it coincidence?

I think not.

NARRATOR: Did ancient man really make contact with early time travelers?

And are humans on the verge of discovering that same incredible ability?

Perhaps further evidence can be found, evidence that ancient

aliens may not have come from distant galaxies but from our own future.

NARRATOR: Ever since the infamous UFO incident of 1947 in

Roswell, New Mexico, there have been thousands of reports of

extraterrestrial sightings, and even firsthand accounts of alien

abductions.

Described as humanoid with large heads and small bodies,

researchers believe these beings might, in fact, be an alien

species that some call the Greys.

BARA: These aliens look not too dissimilar from us.

They have heads, they have hands, they have two arms, two

legs, two eyes, a nose, a rudimentary mouth.

They certainly in their descriptions appear to be pretty close to us.

Or what they kind of look like is very, very early science

fiction concepts of how the human race would eventually

evolve over the eons.

BARHAM: If you look at the extraterrestrials that are

described-- the Greys-- that are related to the Roswell incident,

you will see that their forms, in many ways, resemble what we

might project or predict that we could look like in the future,

if we became a space-faring race.

CHILDRESS: The Roswell crash in New Mexico, in fact,

happened coincidentally close to the birthday of the Egyptian

goddess Isis.

So you have to wonder, too, if these so-called alien bodies

that were allegedly found at the Roswell crash with thin bodies

and big heads, if they weren't some kind of time-traveling

extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Is it possible the beings believed to have been

recovered at Roswell traveled here from the star Sirius, just

like the Egyptian goddess Isis, as some ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

And might they be coming here using advanced expertise in

space-time technology?

EDGAR MITCHELL: I would think that it's quite possible that

the alien visitors had then proved to be the way we think

they are, that they're using certain forms of teleportation

perhaps, or certainly they have propulsion devices that can

approach the speed of light.

LINDA HOWE: What we do know is that the physics of our

planet, quantum physics and string theory, have moved the

ball so much further than it was in the last century to saying

there are no mathematical restrictions on time travel to

the future or to the past.

And that once you know that the physics community is saying

there are no restrictions, it's just us finding out how do we do this.

CHILDRESS: Time travel is basically the same as teleportation.

We could go from place to place on Earth in a matter of milliseconds.

This would revolutionize all kinds of travel, at the

same time, our connections between us and any other civilization.

And including civilizations on other planets, as well.

NARRATOR: But just who really are these otherworldly creatures

called the Greys?

Is it possible they came to Earth not from outer space, but

from the future or the past?

Or might they actually be human time travelers?

COPPENS: There are various theories as to what the Greys are.

There are stories that they are beings which have been

around since time immemorial and are still around.

But there are also encounters which people have had, and in

giving these encounters, it has been said that really the Greys

are us from the future.

And that they really have traveled back in time because

somehow we have genetically created this situation whereby

the Greys are no longer able to procreate and that they have to

therefore come back to our times to sort of remedy the situation.

BARA: People back in the '60s and '70s kind of speculated what

would human beings look like in 1,000 years or 2,000 years?

And the idea was that we would expand our intellectual

knowledge so our brains would get bigger, and we'd have

machinery that would basically do all the physical tasks for us

that we do with our hands now.

We really would become almost physically inert beings.

And if you look at those early concepts of the future of the

human race, they kind of look like the standard traditional

Grey alien, the Roswell alien.

VON DANIKEN: I rather am a believer in time travel.

I say nothing will be impossible for us in the future.

Even if you think it's completely crazy, it will happen.

Whatever humans are able to think, to calculate, even to

fantasize will one day become reality.

Sometimes I ask myself if these UFOs are not time travelers.

It's our own people of the future.

NARRATOR: Considering the scientific advancements from the

last century alone, might it be possible future humans have

discovered the ability to travel in time, as some ancient

astronaut theorists believe?

Are they, in fact, the so-called visitors that have been recorded

throughout the centuries?

Or are they otherworldly aliens who have mastered travel through

both time and space?

Perhaps the answers can be found not in the here and now, but in

another place and time.
