These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:01,635 --> 00:00:05,106 GEORGE NOORY: Russia may be one of the areas on this planet 2 00:00:05,139 --> 00:00:07,075 that has been ladened with 3 00:00:07,108 --> 00:00:09,143 incredible amounts of UFO activity 4 00:00:09,177 --> 00:00:11,279 since the beginning of time. 5 00:00:11,312 --> 00:00:13,547 ERICH VON DANIKEN: These flying machines 6 00:00:13,581 --> 00:00:16,317 were seen all over the Soviet Union. 7 00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:20,121 NICK POPE: The Soviets knew something about UFOs. 8 00:00:20,154 --> 00:00:21,822 They had secrets. 9 00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:24,792 NICK REDFERN: The Soviets have in their possession 10 00:00:24,825 --> 00:00:28,662 no less than the remains of five crashed and recovered UFOs. 11 00:00:28,696 --> 00:00:31,332 DAVID WILCOCK: There is undeniable evidence 12 00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:34,702 that Russia is sitting on a virtual treasure trove 13 00:00:34,735 --> 00:00:37,671 of information that proves 14 00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:40,474 that extraterrestrials visited Earth in our distant past. 15 00:00:40,508 --> 00:00:44,078 NARRATOR: Since the dawn of civilization, 16 00:00:44,112 --> 00:00:47,848 mankind has credited its origins to gods 17 00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,651 and other visitors from the stars. 18 00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:53,187 What if it were true? 19 00:00:53,221 --> 00:00:56,124 Did extraterrestrial beings 20 00:00:56,157 --> 00:00:59,093 really help to shape our history? 21 00:00:59,127 --> 00:01:01,162 And if so... 22 00:01:01,195 --> 00:01:02,596 might the ultimate proof 23 00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:07,201 be found in Russia's secret files? 24 00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:38,866 Moscow, Russia. 25 00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:43,404 December 25, 1991. 26 00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:48,276 At 7:00 p.m., Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev 27 00:01:48,309 --> 00:01:50,711 makes a nationally televised address 28 00:01:50,744 --> 00:01:53,614 to announce his resignation. 29 00:01:53,647 --> 00:01:55,349 GORBACHEV (translated): I hereby discontinue 30 00:01:55,383 --> 00:01:59,387 my activities at the post of President of the U.S.S.R. 31 00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:01,622 NARRATOR: Moments later, 32 00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:04,358 the Soviet flag is lowered from the Kremlin 33 00:02:04,392 --> 00:02:07,295 for the final time. 34 00:02:07,328 --> 00:02:10,798 One of the world's two superpowers... 35 00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:12,166 has fallen. 36 00:02:15,936 --> 00:02:19,707 From 1922 to 1991, 37 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:22,310 Russia was under the restrictive regime 38 00:02:22,343 --> 00:02:25,579 of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, 39 00:02:25,613 --> 00:02:27,948 which ruled over much of northern Asia 40 00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:29,650 and Eastern Europe. 41 00:02:31,552 --> 00:02:34,622 The Soviet government was known for its brutality, 42 00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:38,292 oppression and culture of absolute secrecy. 43 00:02:44,832 --> 00:02:46,867 POPE: It was very much a case 44 00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,969 of everything that happens 45 00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:51,472 within government stays within government, 46 00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:52,806 and the consequences were lethal. 47 00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:02,783 This was a closed, highly secretive society 48 00:03:02,816 --> 00:03:04,785 that kept secrets, not just, of course, 49 00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:07,255 from us in the West, 50 00:03:07,288 --> 00:03:08,822 but from its own people. 51 00:03:10,558 --> 00:03:12,360 One of the challenges of defending 52 00:03:12,393 --> 00:03:15,296 this vast landmass in Russia is that, uh, 53 00:03:15,329 --> 00:03:18,299 its borders are very insecure, at all points. 54 00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:21,702 So in order to conquer space, 55 00:03:21,735 --> 00:03:25,306 it has an obsession with national security. 56 00:03:25,339 --> 00:03:28,342 Secrecy has become imbedded within the political culture; 57 00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:31,245 and also, many people in Russia agree with the idea 58 00:03:31,279 --> 00:03:33,514 that most things should be kept a secret. 59 00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:37,785 NARRATOR: When the Soviet Union was dissolved, 60 00:03:37,818 --> 00:03:42,790 so too was its main security agency-- the KGB. 61 00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:46,794 The top-secret KGB files were suddenly vulnerable, 62 00:03:46,827 --> 00:03:49,430 with many in the hands of former agents, 63 00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:52,300 ready to sell them to the highest bidders. 64 00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:56,870 Thousands more were smuggled out by Vasiliy Mitrokhin, 65 00:03:56,904 --> 00:04:00,874 who worked in the KGB's foreign intelligence archive 66 00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:04,945 from 1972 to 1984. 67 00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:06,947 The documents that have been leaked 68 00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:10,951 include KGB information on secret Russian weapons caches, 69 00:04:10,984 --> 00:04:12,720 Russian spies, 70 00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:15,523 and even UFO reports. 71 00:04:15,556 --> 00:04:16,824 RICHARD DOLAN: The Soviet Union 72 00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:20,328 had a large number of UFO encounters. 73 00:04:20,361 --> 00:04:22,763 Western researchers had really no knowledge 74 00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:25,533 of what was going on behind the Iron Curtain. 75 00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:29,470 We now know that there were thousands 76 00:04:29,503 --> 00:04:32,440 and thousands of Soviet UFO cases 77 00:04:32,473 --> 00:04:33,807 that were taking place during that time. 78 00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:36,410 A number of records did indeed come out. 79 00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:37,778 And we now have access to them. 80 00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:40,514 NARRATOR: Could the definitive evidence 81 00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:42,783 of extraterrestrial contact 82 00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:45,853 lie hidden within the secret KGB files 83 00:04:45,886 --> 00:04:48,322 that are just now coming to light? 84 00:04:48,356 --> 00:04:52,493 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 85 00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:55,396 and suggest recent findings reveal 86 00:04:55,429 --> 00:04:59,733 the Soviets were not only covering up modern UFO reports, 87 00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:02,936 but also proof that aliens visited Earth 88 00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:05,706 in the distant past. 89 00:05:08,376 --> 00:05:09,810 Leningrad, Russia. 90 00:05:09,843 --> 00:05:13,781 December 1, 1934. 91 00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:15,749 Sergei Kirov, 92 00:05:15,783 --> 00:05:17,718 a Communist party leader 93 00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:21,922 and rival to fellow party leader Joseph Stalin, is murdered. 94 00:05:24,558 --> 00:05:27,060 The assassination marks the beginning 95 00:05:27,094 --> 00:05:30,931 of the darkest period in the history of the Soviet Union: 96 00:05:30,964 --> 00:05:33,967 The Great Purges. 97 00:05:35,102 --> 00:05:37,137 With Kirov gone, 98 00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:39,072 Stalin's power grew, 99 00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:42,142 and he unleashed a widespread campaign 100 00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:44,545 of ruthless political persecution 101 00:05:44,578 --> 00:05:46,046 meant to weed out dissenters... 102 00:05:48,482 --> 00:05:51,785 ...and consolidate his absolute authority. 103 00:05:51,819 --> 00:05:55,022 (speaking Russian) 104 00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:57,691 Among the millions who were arrested 105 00:05:57,725 --> 00:06:00,494 and interrogated during this period 106 00:06:00,528 --> 00:06:02,129 was respected Russian scientist 107 00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:05,499 and philosopher Dr. Genrikh Ludvig. 108 00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:09,770 PAUL STONEHILL: An incredible human being. 109 00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:12,573 This was a person who could speak 20 ancient 110 00:06:12,606 --> 00:06:14,608 and modern languages. 111 00:06:14,642 --> 00:06:17,578 He had incredible encyclopedic knowledge. 112 00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,415 NARRATOR: Dr. Ludvig was accused 113 00:06:21,449 --> 00:06:23,551 of being a spy for the Vatican 114 00:06:23,584 --> 00:06:25,686 and spent decades 115 00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:29,823 in one of Stalin's brutal Gulag labor camps. 116 00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:32,493 But in 2011, 117 00:06:32,526 --> 00:06:35,095 38 years after his death, 118 00:06:35,128 --> 00:06:38,866 an article in the Russian newspaper Sovershenno Sekretno, 119 00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:40,734 or Top Secret, 120 00:06:40,768 --> 00:06:44,738 revealed the true purpose of Ludvig's work at the Vatican, 121 00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:49,777 and possibly also for his arrest. 122 00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:52,646 The reason he was accused of being a spy for the Vatican 123 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,582 is because in 1920s, 124 00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:57,184 as a young student of architecture, 125 00:06:57,217 --> 00:07:00,588 he visited the Vatican, 126 00:07:00,621 --> 00:07:03,824 where he was given access to the secret library. 127 00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:07,127 In that library, he found manuscripts 128 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,864 that describe extraterrestrial civilizations and more. 129 00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:16,637 Dr. Genrikh Ludvig discovered a number of manuscripts 130 00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:18,205 suggesting that there had been 131 00:07:18,238 --> 00:07:21,709 historic extraterrestrial contact 132 00:07:21,742 --> 00:07:26,947 with ancient civilizations in Egypt, 133 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:28,616 Israel 134 00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:31,519 and Mesopotamia. 135 00:07:31,552 --> 00:07:34,488 These manuscripts that talked, for example, 136 00:07:34,522 --> 00:07:36,089 about the pyramids 137 00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:39,493 and described them as energy machines. 138 00:07:42,229 --> 00:07:45,165 DAVID CHILDRESS: When he went back to the Soviet Union, 139 00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:47,267 they treated him very poorly, 140 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,236 when, in fact, he was perhaps 141 00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:53,507 the greatest of all the early researchers 142 00:07:53,541 --> 00:07:57,244 into the whole concept of ancient aliens 143 00:07:57,277 --> 00:07:58,245 coming to our planet. 144 00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:05,218 NARRATOR: Might Dr. Ludvig have really discovered 145 00:08:05,252 --> 00:08:07,588 ancient manuscripts within the Vatican 146 00:08:07,621 --> 00:08:09,590 that describe extraterrestrials 147 00:08:09,623 --> 00:08:11,625 visiting Earth? 148 00:08:11,659 --> 00:08:13,627 Did the Russian government 149 00:08:13,661 --> 00:08:16,129 accuse him of espionage in an attempt 150 00:08:16,163 --> 00:08:18,832 to suppress his controversial findings? 151 00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,671 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 152 00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:27,307 and claim Ludwig was not the only one silenced 153 00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,043 by the Soviet government for his research. 154 00:08:33,113 --> 00:08:36,950 When Vladimir Lenin seized power in 1917, 155 00:08:36,984 --> 00:08:38,919 he established the first state 156 00:08:38,952 --> 00:08:41,321 to seek the elimination of religion. 157 00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:44,057 The Communist regime 158 00:08:44,091 --> 00:08:47,160 also actively suppressed a philosophy 159 00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:49,597 that had become widespread throughout Russia 160 00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:52,165 in the early 20th century: 161 00:08:52,199 --> 00:08:53,901 Cosmism. 162 00:08:56,737 --> 00:08:58,606 JENKS: There is a Russian tradition, 163 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,175 beginning in the late 1800s called "Cosmism." 164 00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:05,746 The cosmists began with a philosopher, 165 00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:08,015 a guy named Nikolai Fyodorov, 166 00:09:08,048 --> 00:09:09,917 in the 1870s and 1880s, 167 00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:12,720 who inspired the father of Soviet rocketry, 168 00:09:12,753 --> 00:09:14,254 who actually designed the rockets 169 00:09:14,287 --> 00:09:16,089 that put the first man into space. 170 00:09:16,123 --> 00:09:18,592 They believed that human civilization 171 00:09:18,626 --> 00:09:20,260 actually had origins 172 00:09:20,293 --> 00:09:23,063 in outer space 173 00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:25,999 and that it was our destiny, as human beings, 174 00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:27,768 to move back into space; 175 00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:31,672 we would go back into the "cradle of civilization." 176 00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:34,708 So, this idea was imbedded within Russian culture. 177 00:09:38,311 --> 00:09:42,015 NARRATOR: Both Lenin and his successor, Joseph Stalin, 178 00:09:42,049 --> 00:09:44,384 saw to it that talk of Cosmism 179 00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,955 and humanity's alien origins was silenced. 180 00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:52,292 But these ideas would emerge again in 1961, 181 00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:55,696 when the Soviet Union successfully launched 182 00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:58,365 Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into orbit, 183 00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:01,935 and beat the United States at sending the first man to space. 184 00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:06,940 Many Russians saw this accomplishment 185 00:10:06,974 --> 00:10:13,246 as a fulfillment of man's destiny to return to the stars. 186 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,349 With the successes of the Soviet space program, 187 00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,618 Sputnik in 1957, the first man in space. 188 00:10:20,721 --> 00:10:23,390 Simultaneously this kind of kick-started, 189 00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:27,728 or created anew, an interest in investigating 190 00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:30,197 alien origins of human civilizations. 191 00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:36,103 And after Joseph Stalin died, many of those individuals 192 00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:37,838 that were exploring the idea 193 00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:40,974 of ancient paleo-contacts with aliens, 194 00:10:41,008 --> 00:10:44,044 uh, were allowed to voice their opinions publicly. 195 00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:47,848 NARRATOR: In 1961, 196 00:10:47,881 --> 00:10:51,785 Russian physicist and mathematician Matest Agrest 197 00:10:51,819 --> 00:10:53,821 published a controversial paper 198 00:10:53,854 --> 00:10:56,423 proposing that extraterrestrials 199 00:10:56,456 --> 00:11:00,093 had visited Earth's ancient civilizations. 200 00:11:00,127 --> 00:11:03,731 Similar theories were also offered 201 00:11:03,764 --> 00:11:05,766 by author Alexander Kasantsev 202 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,335 and astronomer Iosif Shklovskii. 203 00:11:10,137 --> 00:11:12,272 But while these researchers did not suffer 204 00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:15,776 the same persecution as those that came before them, 205 00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:18,311 they claimed that the Soviet government 206 00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:20,981 worked to suppress their theories. 207 00:11:22,282 --> 00:11:23,984 GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: The idea 208 00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:25,819 that there were Soviet astronomers 209 00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:28,421 who were seriously studying 210 00:11:28,455 --> 00:11:30,457 these topics and ideas 211 00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:32,325 leads me to think 212 00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:34,327 that we're the one's who are on to something. 213 00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:39,232 And we are now able to access information 214 00:11:39,266 --> 00:11:41,434 that for so many years, has remained censored. 215 00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:47,340 NARRATOR: Is it possible 216 00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:50,443 that the truth about extraterrestrial contact 217 00:11:50,477 --> 00:11:52,846 was hidden behind the Iron Curtain 218 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,482 of the former Soviet Union? 219 00:11:57,084 --> 00:11:59,753 Perhaps further clues can be found 220 00:11:59,787 --> 00:12:03,490 by examining a mysterious site that may hold proof 221 00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:07,194 of an ancient extraterrestrial visitation. 222 00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:16,503 NARRATOR: Russia. 223 00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:20,240 Spanning a staggering 224 00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:23,043 6.6 million square miles, 225 00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,813 it is the largest country on Earth. 226 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,049 Its massive territory 227 00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:32,419 is also the most geographically diverse, 228 00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:36,890 consisting of some of the most extreme terrain on the planet, 229 00:12:36,924 --> 00:12:40,493 including dense forests, 230 00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:43,496 frozen tundra, 231 00:12:43,530 --> 00:12:45,966 remote mountains, 232 00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:49,002 and barren deserts. 233 00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,539 Despite its physical size, 234 00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:54,541 as much as 50% of Russia 235 00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:56,043 remains uninhabited 236 00:12:56,076 --> 00:12:59,947 and largely unexplored by mankind. 237 00:13:03,851 --> 00:13:07,154 Russia is almost twice the size of the United States. 238 00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:10,924 Just to compare, the United States 239 00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:14,227 expands over four time zones, 240 00:13:14,261 --> 00:13:17,831 while Russia expands over eleven time zones. 241 00:13:17,865 --> 00:13:19,599 The size of Russia, 242 00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,502 its harsh climate, 243 00:13:22,535 --> 00:13:24,237 especially in the northern parts of Russia, 244 00:13:24,271 --> 00:13:27,140 makes it very difficult to explore. 245 00:13:31,611 --> 00:13:34,547 NARRATOR: One of Russia's most mysterious areas 246 00:13:34,581 --> 00:13:37,284 is a valley just north of Kazakhstan, 247 00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:39,920 where in 1987, 248 00:13:39,953 --> 00:13:43,056 archaeologists from the University of Chelyabinsk 249 00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:46,093 discovered the remains of an ancient settlement, 250 00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,028 which they were able to date back 251 00:13:48,061 --> 00:13:52,465 to between the 17th and 20th centuries B.C. 252 00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:56,503 Much of the original structures of this megalithic site, 253 00:13:56,536 --> 00:13:59,639 known as Arkaim, no longer exist, 254 00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:03,310 but scientists have mapped out its original design, 255 00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:06,880 which includes massive circular walls 256 00:14:06,914 --> 00:14:09,182 similar to Stonehenge. 257 00:14:11,551 --> 00:14:14,487 So, Arkaim has been described as Russia's Stonehenge. 258 00:14:14,521 --> 00:14:16,123 Now, this is quite intriguing 259 00:14:16,156 --> 00:14:19,492 because its a very similar latitude to Stonehenge. 260 00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:22,595 It's been suggested that it could've been put there 261 00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:24,932 for astronomical and surveying purposes. 262 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,536 It seems that Arkaim, at some point, 263 00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:31,638 was some type of an observatory, 264 00:14:31,671 --> 00:14:34,007 which I think is incredibly fascinating, 265 00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:36,576 because it means that worldwide, 266 00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:39,612 our ancestors witnessed other things 267 00:14:39,646 --> 00:14:42,349 that would explain this long-held 268 00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:45,685 fascination with the stars. 269 00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:47,587 STONEHILL: The way the city was built, 270 00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:49,656 it was a circular structure. 271 00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:53,293 It had a very interesting central square. 272 00:14:53,326 --> 00:14:56,429 Basically, it was an interior circle 273 00:14:56,463 --> 00:14:59,599 surrounded by a circle, which to many, 274 00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:02,135 means the Mandala principle of the Buddhism... 275 00:15:04,537 --> 00:15:06,406 ...or a depiction of the universe 276 00:15:06,439 --> 00:15:09,276 in a very miniaturized way. 277 00:15:15,182 --> 00:15:17,985 NARRATOR: Incredibly, archaeologists have found 278 00:15:18,018 --> 00:15:22,055 that Arkaim was built with features aligned to measure 279 00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:24,491 as many as 18 astronomical events, 280 00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:28,028 such as the solstices and equinoxes. 281 00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:30,530 And discovered among the ruins 282 00:15:30,563 --> 00:15:32,665 was an ancient statue of a man 283 00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:34,334 looking up to the sky. 284 00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:38,505 Adding to the mystery 285 00:15:38,538 --> 00:15:41,708 are reports of strange anomalies in the region, 286 00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:44,211 that continue to this day, 287 00:15:44,244 --> 00:15:47,680 which include magnetic inconsistencies, 288 00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:51,151 strange lights, 289 00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:53,186 and curious fog formations. 290 00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:02,129 WILCOCK: When you consider the strange lights, 291 00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:05,132 the weird fog, the magnetic anomalies, 292 00:16:05,165 --> 00:16:07,334 the unusual hallucinations, 293 00:16:07,367 --> 00:16:09,336 and things that have happened to people there, 294 00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:12,172 it appears that this is some sort of energy node 295 00:16:12,205 --> 00:16:14,007 or vortex point on the Earth... 296 00:16:16,209 --> 00:16:18,711 ...that was actually utilized by extraterrestrials 297 00:16:18,745 --> 00:16:21,381 when this was constructed. 298 00:16:21,414 --> 00:16:25,218 If you actually look at the shape of Arkaim, 299 00:16:25,252 --> 00:16:28,521 it could have been the platform for a spacecraft, 300 00:16:28,555 --> 00:16:30,423 like a rocket, to launch off from. 301 00:16:36,463 --> 00:16:39,299 NARRATOR: Could Arkaim really have been the site 302 00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:41,468 of an extraterrestrial visitation 303 00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:43,770 thousands of years ago? 304 00:16:43,803 --> 00:16:47,407 And might this be why the structures found here 305 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,710 were built with such precise astronomical alignments? 306 00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:56,049 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 307 00:16:56,083 --> 00:16:59,686 and suggest physical evidence of such a visitation 308 00:16:59,719 --> 00:17:02,622 might exist in the nearby Ural Mountains. 309 00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:11,098 Ural Mountains are very old mountains 310 00:17:11,131 --> 00:17:13,266 stretching from, uh, 311 00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:16,035 the Russian north to the Russian south. 312 00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:22,242 It, kind of, splitting Russia into two parts, 313 00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:24,211 Europe and Asia. 314 00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:28,115 Indeed, people living in the Ural Mountains, 315 00:17:28,148 --> 00:17:32,252 witness some strange phenomena in the air and on the ground. 316 00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:36,089 NARRATOR: Dozens of visitors to the Ural Mountains 317 00:17:36,123 --> 00:17:38,658 have reported strange sightings of fireballs 318 00:17:38,691 --> 00:17:41,094 and cigar-shaped crafts. 319 00:17:41,128 --> 00:17:42,695 But even stranger, 320 00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:45,865 is what has been found in the earth here. 321 00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:50,303 In 1991, geologists led an expedition 322 00:17:50,337 --> 00:17:55,275 into the mineral-rich Urals in hopes of locating gold deposits. 323 00:17:55,308 --> 00:17:59,146 While excavating sites near the Kozhim, Narada, 324 00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:01,214 and Balbanyu rivers, 325 00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:04,184 just 600 miles north of Arkaim, 326 00:18:04,217 --> 00:18:07,420 the scientists discovered something unexpected. 327 00:18:08,888 --> 00:18:10,857 At depths of over 30 feet, 328 00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:16,163 they unearthed a scattering of tiny metal coils and springs. 329 00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:22,835 That soil wasn't touched for hundreds of thousands 330 00:18:22,869 --> 00:18:24,103 or more years. 331 00:18:25,605 --> 00:18:27,674 The area where it was found, 332 00:18:27,707 --> 00:18:30,843 was probably tens of kilometers around. 333 00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:34,514 It's as if something exploded thousands of years ago 334 00:18:36,883 --> 00:18:39,186 and the fragments were lying all over the place. 335 00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:44,724 NARRATOR: The metal fragments, 336 00:18:44,757 --> 00:18:47,694 some as small as 1/10,000 of an inch, 337 00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:50,597 were sent to the Russian Academy of Sciences 338 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:53,733 in St. Petersburg for analysis. 339 00:18:53,766 --> 00:18:57,437 Their shape resembled manufactured technology, 340 00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,707 rather than naturally occurring minerals. 341 00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:04,711 The smallest pieces were found to be tungsten, 342 00:19:04,744 --> 00:19:07,814 a metal used in spacecrafts and missiles, 343 00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:11,251 due to its ability to withstand high temperatures. 344 00:19:14,821 --> 00:19:16,956 They are these metal spirals 345 00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:20,393 that consist of copper, but also tungsten, 346 00:19:20,427 --> 00:19:22,195 and Molybdenum, 347 00:19:22,229 --> 00:19:25,365 which are both very rare metals. 348 00:19:25,398 --> 00:19:27,967 We're looking at nanotechnology. 349 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,937 WILCOCK: When you look down at them in a microscope, 350 00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:33,240 they're extremely regular in their structure. 351 00:19:33,273 --> 00:19:35,642 They're very nice coils. 352 00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:38,845 The only way we could make them, even now, 353 00:19:38,878 --> 00:19:41,681 is with machine-guided technology. 354 00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:44,351 You could not do this by hand. 355 00:19:44,384 --> 00:19:48,321 What we're seeing here is proof 356 00:19:48,355 --> 00:19:50,757 that someone had advanced technology 357 00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:53,593 sufficient to build the type of circuitry 358 00:19:53,626 --> 00:19:56,929 that we normally only see in semiconductors, 359 00:19:56,963 --> 00:19:58,998 computer chips, 360 00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,601 high technology equipment, 361 00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:05,238 using metals that are not commonly known. 362 00:20:05,272 --> 00:20:08,508 So these spirals are clear evidence 363 00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:12,312 that someone had a very advanced civilization 364 00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:15,382 right here on Earth near Arkaim. 365 00:20:19,452 --> 00:20:21,354 NARRATOR: Might extraterrestrials 366 00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:24,591 have visited the Ural Mountains in the distant past? 367 00:20:24,624 --> 00:20:27,327 And if so, did they leave behind evidence 368 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,330 of advanced technology? 369 00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:32,599 Could they have helped to build 370 00:20:32,632 --> 00:20:35,402 the prehistoric observatory of Arkaim, 371 00:20:35,435 --> 00:20:38,771 as ancient astronaut theorists contend? 372 00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:41,874 Perhaps further clues can be found 373 00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:44,977 by examining much more recent accounts 374 00:20:45,011 --> 00:20:47,480 of otherworldly visitations. 375 00:20:58,358 --> 00:20:59,359 NARRATOR: Moscow. 376 00:20:59,392 --> 00:21:02,562 May 17, 1967. 377 00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:06,999 In a secure government building, 378 00:21:07,033 --> 00:21:10,670 a meeting is held of scientists dedicated 379 00:21:10,703 --> 00:21:12,939 to collecting comprehensive research 380 00:21:12,972 --> 00:21:16,042 on reports of unidentified flying craft. 381 00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:22,449 It is the first official Soviet UFO Study Group, 382 00:21:22,482 --> 00:21:26,353 and six months later, on November 10, 383 00:21:26,386 --> 00:21:27,820 the government gives its approval 384 00:21:27,854 --> 00:21:30,723 for the group's deputy, astronomer Felix Ziegel, 385 00:21:30,757 --> 00:21:32,459 to present its findings 386 00:21:32,492 --> 00:21:34,361 on Soviet Central Television. 387 00:21:35,995 --> 00:21:38,465 Felix Ziegel asked the public 388 00:21:38,498 --> 00:21:41,768 to contact them with sightings. 389 00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:43,603 Now this was an extraordinary development. 390 00:21:45,438 --> 00:21:48,508 Previously, little if anything, had been made public 391 00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:51,511 about official interest in this. 392 00:21:51,544 --> 00:21:54,881 And here you have somebody going on television 393 00:21:54,914 --> 00:21:56,683 talking about it quite openly 394 00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:58,985 and inviting people to send in their sightings. 395 00:21:59,018 --> 00:22:00,987 Well, needless to say, 396 00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:04,824 there were a lot of sightings that were then reported, 397 00:22:04,857 --> 00:22:06,793 but the project itself 398 00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:11,498 soon was dogged by controversy and dissent. 399 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,868 NARRATOR: Shortly after the television broadcast, 400 00:22:15,902 --> 00:22:19,005 the government forced the group to be disbanded, 401 00:22:19,038 --> 00:22:23,009 fearful that it might lead to reports surfacing 402 00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:27,046 of top secret Soviet military tests. 403 00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:31,684 But Ziegel still managed to collect a huge amount of data, 404 00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:35,822 including reports from Russian pilots. 405 00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:38,591 He was able to publish some of his findings 406 00:22:38,625 --> 00:22:44,063 in a 1968 anthology titled Inhabited Cosmos. 407 00:22:44,096 --> 00:22:46,766 VON DANIKEN: I met Felix Ziegel in Moscow. 408 00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:50,537 He had collected hundreds of UFO cases. 409 00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:53,506 He said that these flying objects 410 00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:56,409 were seen all over the Soviet Union. 411 00:22:56,443 --> 00:23:00,680 Some of them were small, others large and spherical. 412 00:23:00,713 --> 00:23:03,916 Their technology must be extraterrestrial, 413 00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:07,019 because they reach an incredible speed 414 00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:10,690 that no human would survive. 415 00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:13,526 NARRATOR: While publicly the Soviet government 416 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,696 denounced the research of Felix Ziegel, 417 00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:20,032 they did not stop him from continuing his work, 418 00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:23,002 and even reviewed his findings. 419 00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:25,037 But why? 420 00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:32,144 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the government 421 00:23:32,178 --> 00:23:35,615 may have been aware that there really was an alien presence 422 00:23:35,648 --> 00:23:37,950 in their skies. 423 00:23:37,984 --> 00:23:41,688 And they used Ziegel and other UFO researchers 424 00:23:41,721 --> 00:23:46,659 as a way to secretly monitor this activity. 425 00:23:46,693 --> 00:23:48,227 A number of records have surfaced 426 00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:51,163 from the Soviet Air Force and the KGB, 427 00:23:51,197 --> 00:23:54,534 showing that particularly in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, 428 00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:57,737 they took the UFO subject very, very seriously. 429 00:24:00,139 --> 00:24:01,641 TSOUKALOS: Soviet scientists 430 00:24:01,674 --> 00:24:04,577 had to come up with incredible ways 431 00:24:04,611 --> 00:24:06,746 with which to share their knowledge 432 00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:09,649 with their colleagues in the Western World. 433 00:24:09,682 --> 00:24:14,654 So, they essentially hid their messages in code, 434 00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:18,525 in letters, in different types of correspondence. 435 00:24:18,558 --> 00:24:21,160 Why would anyone risk going to jail 436 00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:24,564 by encoding messages to people and scientists 437 00:24:24,597 --> 00:24:25,998 outside the Iron Curtain, 438 00:24:26,032 --> 00:24:27,667 if you weren't compelled enough 439 00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:30,503 that what you're writing about is the truth? 440 00:24:33,105 --> 00:24:36,709 NARRATOR: Throughout the 1960s and most of the '70s, 441 00:24:36,743 --> 00:24:41,681 the Soviet government's interest in UFOs remained unofficial. 442 00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:46,052 But that changed after September 20, 1977, 443 00:24:46,085 --> 00:24:49,088 when numerous residents of Petrozavodsk 444 00:24:49,121 --> 00:24:52,992 reported seeing a glowing object floating in the sky above 445 00:24:53,025 --> 00:24:54,861 for over 5 minutes, 446 00:24:54,894 --> 00:24:57,797 showering the city with rays of light. 447 00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:00,600 A copy remains of a lost photograph 448 00:25:00,633 --> 00:25:02,569 that was taken of the object, 449 00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:05,271 and astonishingly, 450 00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:07,306 similar UFOs were reported 451 00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:11,143 all across Russia and Eastern Europe 452 00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:13,813 within a four-hour window. 453 00:25:15,247 --> 00:25:17,984 On the heels of this mass sighting, 454 00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:19,886 the Soviet Union established 455 00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:23,990 the Russian Academy of Sciences' UFO commission. 456 00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,258 In 1984, 457 00:25:26,292 --> 00:25:29,662 they appointed Major-General Pavel Popovich, 458 00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:32,231 the eighth man ever to reach space, 459 00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:35,034 to head up this research team. 460 00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:37,036 Pavel Popovich brought forth 461 00:25:37,069 --> 00:25:39,706 a lot of the UFO information himself 462 00:25:39,739 --> 00:25:43,576 and he was able to obtain the KGB UFO files-- 463 00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:45,978 124 pages-- in 1992. 464 00:25:46,012 --> 00:25:48,247 He said that he knew of the existence 465 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,216 of three underwater bases, 466 00:25:50,249 --> 00:25:53,820 where the extraterrestrials exist and operate. 467 00:25:53,853 --> 00:25:57,056 This is a man whom we should listen to. 468 00:25:57,089 --> 00:25:58,691 (indistinct radio tranission) 469 00:25:58,725 --> 00:26:01,060 DOLAN: He had two UFO sightings himself, 470 00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:03,896 a very significant one in 1978, 471 00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:08,067 when he was flying back from the United States to, uh, to Russia. 472 00:26:11,137 --> 00:26:14,774 Out his window, he saw an absolutely enormous-- 473 00:26:14,807 --> 00:26:17,176 football field size, or larger-- 474 00:26:17,209 --> 00:26:19,145 triangular craft, 475 00:26:19,178 --> 00:26:21,113 that was moving at a really good clip. 476 00:26:21,147 --> 00:26:22,815 I mean, easily overtook, 477 00:26:22,849 --> 00:26:24,951 uh... the commercial airliner that he was in. 478 00:26:24,984 --> 00:26:28,621 He wasn't the only one on his plane to see this, by the way. 479 00:26:28,655 --> 00:26:30,356 He talked to a lot of the other people, 480 00:26:30,389 --> 00:26:32,659 many of whom where academicians, coming back from a conference, 481 00:26:32,692 --> 00:26:34,894 many of whom saw this. 482 00:26:37,764 --> 00:26:40,667 NARRATOR: Did Major-General Pavel Popovich 483 00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:44,904 really witness firsthand an extraterrestrial spacecraft? 484 00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:48,407 And might he also have found evidence 485 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,810 in secret KGB files 486 00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:54,146 of underwater alien bases? 487 00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:57,249 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 488 00:26:57,283 --> 00:27:01,153 and suggest even more profound evidence can be found 489 00:27:01,187 --> 00:27:04,290 in a small mountain town in eastern Russia: 490 00:27:04,323 --> 00:27:06,158 the remains 491 00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:15,902 of a crashed UFO. 492 00:27:15,935 --> 00:27:18,204 NARRATOR: One of the most decorated test pilots 493 00:27:18,237 --> 00:27:19,839 in Russian history 494 00:27:19,872 --> 00:27:22,675 is a woman named Marina Popovich, 495 00:27:22,709 --> 00:27:25,644 the wife of astronaut Pavel Popovich. 496 00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:30,783 Marina set over 100 records during her career 497 00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:32,952 in the Soviet Air Force, 498 00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:35,221 which includes being the first woman 499 00:27:35,254 --> 00:27:38,157 -to break the sound barrier. -(sonic boom) 500 00:27:40,727 --> 00:27:42,428 Like her husband, 501 00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:46,232 she, too, reported on extraterrestrial encounters. 502 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,337 In 2003, Marina published a book 503 00:27:51,370 --> 00:27:56,308 disclosing her firsthand experiences with UFOs. 504 00:27:56,342 --> 00:27:58,778 In it, she also referenced 505 00:27:58,811 --> 00:28:01,147 thousands of similar UFO sightings 506 00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:02,815 by other Soviet military 507 00:28:02,849 --> 00:28:04,250 and civilian pilots. 508 00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:09,889 She told their stories at speaking engagements 509 00:28:09,922 --> 00:28:11,323 all over the world. 510 00:28:11,357 --> 00:28:13,860 Like the story of a fighter pilot 511 00:28:13,893 --> 00:28:16,162 who was asked to fire upon an unidentified, 512 00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:18,497 disc-shaped craft. 513 00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:21,000 (speaking Russian) 514 00:28:35,481 --> 00:28:38,885 Marina Popovich is one of the most famous aviators in history. 515 00:28:38,918 --> 00:28:41,220 She was in a good position to know what she knew. 516 00:28:41,253 --> 00:28:43,289 She was a very well connected individual. 517 00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:48,160 She talked about something like 3,000 UFO cases 518 00:28:48,194 --> 00:28:49,495 that had occurred in the Soviet Union 519 00:28:49,528 --> 00:28:51,163 over the years which, 520 00:28:51,197 --> 00:28:53,065 considering the fact that we knew next to nothing 521 00:28:53,099 --> 00:28:55,367 about the history of Soviet UFOs before that, 522 00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:57,369 was very significant. 523 00:28:57,403 --> 00:29:01,007 There is particular interest in sightings from pilots. 524 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,477 Pilots are able, for example, to judge distances, 525 00:29:05,511 --> 00:29:10,349 speeds, heights, in a way that maybe the average person can't. 526 00:29:10,382 --> 00:29:13,019 And Marina Popovich has made a particular effort 527 00:29:13,052 --> 00:29:16,488 to collate all these pilot stories. 528 00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:20,359 REDFERN: What's particularly notable 529 00:29:20,392 --> 00:29:23,996 about Marina Popovich's comments on the UFO subject 530 00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:27,166 is that she stated that sources have informed her 531 00:29:27,199 --> 00:29:29,869 that the Soviets have in their possession 532 00:29:29,902 --> 00:29:33,272 no less than the remains of five crashed and recovered UFOs. 533 00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:39,145 NARRATOR: Did both Marina and Pavel Popovich, 534 00:29:39,178 --> 00:29:42,949 along with scores of other respected Soviet pilots, 535 00:29:42,982 --> 00:29:45,818 really encounter alien crafts? 536 00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:47,887 And if so, 537 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,922 might there be even more sightings 538 00:29:49,956 --> 00:29:51,958 recorded by the Russian authorities 539 00:29:51,991 --> 00:29:55,361 that have not yet been disclosed to the public? 540 00:29:59,866 --> 00:30:01,367 Dalnegorsk, Russia. 541 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,437 January 29, 1986. 542 00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:07,506 Just before 8:00 p.m., 543 00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:10,877 in this small mining town in eastern Russia, 544 00:30:10,910 --> 00:30:14,513 hundreds of people see a red, glowing, sphere 545 00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:18,617 moving slowly through the sky above a nearby mountain. 546 00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:20,552 It appeared to slow down, 547 00:30:20,586 --> 00:30:23,489 before crashing into the hillside. 548 00:30:26,592 --> 00:30:29,996 Many reported seeing a fiery blaze from the site 549 00:30:30,029 --> 00:30:32,932 for as much as an hour after it went down. 550 00:30:35,267 --> 00:30:39,005 STONEHILL: The sphere flies into the Izvestkovaya Mountains 551 00:30:39,038 --> 00:30:40,039 and burns up. 552 00:30:40,072 --> 00:30:42,508 There is an explosion... 553 00:30:42,541 --> 00:30:44,410 and people want to find out what happened, 554 00:30:44,443 --> 00:30:46,979 because I've read eyewitness accounts-- incredible. 555 00:30:49,048 --> 00:30:51,984 NARRATOR: Because of the huge number of eyewitnesses, 556 00:30:52,018 --> 00:30:55,888 the crash became known as the Russian Roswell. 557 00:30:55,922 --> 00:30:58,557 And like at Roswell, 558 00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:01,227 physical evidence was recovered from the site, 559 00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:04,330 proving that a crash of some kind did, 560 00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:06,265 in fact, occur. 561 00:31:06,298 --> 00:31:09,335 STONEHILL: Some local people and researchers 562 00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:11,170 managed to get to the site. 563 00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:15,274 They find very interesting artifacts, remains. 564 00:31:17,443 --> 00:31:19,211 NARRATOR: While officials 565 00:31:19,245 --> 00:31:21,981 dismissed the event as a possible meteor crash, 566 00:31:22,014 --> 00:31:28,054 microscopic analysis of the debris yielded unusual results. 567 00:31:28,087 --> 00:31:33,425 The samples contained a complex system of woven metallic fibers; 568 00:31:33,459 --> 00:31:36,328 and the atomic structure of the metal itself 569 00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:40,399 appeared to change when exposed to heat. 570 00:31:43,069 --> 00:31:45,237 When they melted the metal 571 00:31:45,271 --> 00:31:47,206 and put it to a spectrum analysis, 572 00:31:47,239 --> 00:31:49,641 the gold and silver and other metals were gone. 573 00:31:51,543 --> 00:31:54,380 And instead, there was titanium 574 00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:56,582 and molybdenum there. 575 00:31:56,615 --> 00:32:00,486 And so, you have here, some kind of metals, 576 00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:04,056 which apparently are mutating into other metals. 577 00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:06,392 Which was very, very unusual. 578 00:32:08,294 --> 00:32:11,063 NOORY: I think it's part of some kind of machinery, 579 00:32:11,097 --> 00:32:13,299 nanotechnology machinery, 580 00:32:13,332 --> 00:32:15,968 but it wasn't made on planet Earth. 581 00:32:16,002 --> 00:32:17,536 STONEHILL: It was later studied 582 00:32:17,569 --> 00:32:20,172 by a number of Soviet scientific institutions 583 00:32:20,206 --> 00:32:23,375 and some of them said that technology like this 584 00:32:23,409 --> 00:32:26,245 does not exist, uh, on Earth today. 585 00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:29,982 POPE: Subsequent to the Dalnegorsk crash, 586 00:32:30,016 --> 00:32:31,683 there have been a number of sightings 587 00:32:31,717 --> 00:32:33,485 in exactly the same area. 588 00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:36,655 Some people have even seen an object 589 00:32:36,688 --> 00:32:40,326 apparently land on the hillside 590 00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:42,161 where the first crash took place. 591 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:47,066 NARRATOR: Might the object that

Could the physical evidence left behind 595 00:32:56,708 --> 00:32:59,078 provide undeniable proof 596 00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:02,714 that otherworldly beings are visiting planet Earth, 597 00:33:02,748 --> 00:33:07,419 and have been for thousands of years? 598 00:33:07,453 --> 00:33:11,623 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 599 00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:15,161 and believe that Russians have had contact with aliens, 600 00:33:15,194 --> 00:33:17,163 not just here on Earth, 601 00:33:17,196 --> 00:33:20,699 but even in space. 602 00:33:30,642 --> 00:33:32,811 NARRATOR: Salyut 7 space station. 603 00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:37,049 July 12, 1984. 604 00:33:37,083 --> 00:33:40,719 Cosmonauts Oleg Atkov, 605 00:33:40,752 --> 00:33:42,754 Leonid Kizim, 606 00:33:42,788 --> 00:33:45,324 and

00:34:00,072 To date, everything has gone according to plan. 610 00:34:00,106 --> 00:34:01,740 But on this day, 611 00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:05,577 all three crewmembers witness an extraordinary event. 612 00:34:08,614 --> 00:34:13,752 In 1984, Soviet cosmonauts on board Salyut 7 613 00:34:13,785 --> 00:34:17,689 saw a strange orange glow 614 00:34:17,723 --> 00:34:20,759 around the spacecraft. 615 00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:26,098 And they saw what they thought, at first, was maybe a gas leak. 616 00:34:26,132 --> 00:34:29,701 But it seemed that the whole station was surrounded 617 00:34:29,735 --> 00:34:32,538 by this orange cloud. 618 00:34:32,571 --> 00:34:34,173 And as they looked at it, 619 00:34:34,206 --> 00:34:38,244 the cloud coalesced into a shape. 620 00:34:41,813 --> 00:34:46,285 HENRY: Suddenly, they are all blinded by this orange light. 621 00:34:47,686 --> 00:34:49,255 When they regain their vision, 622 00:34:49,288 --> 00:34:51,790 they look out the portals of the spacecraft 623 00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:55,694 and they're astonished by what they see. 624 00:34:55,727 --> 00:35:00,132 They describe seeing seven angelic beings 625 00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:02,734 that are traveling alongside their spacecraft, 626 00:35:02,768 --> 00:35:05,237 and did so for ten minutes. 627 00:35:09,441 --> 00:35:12,611 NARRATOR: The men described huge, winged creatures, 628 00:35:12,644 --> 00:35:14,913 as much as 80 feet tall, 629 00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:18,384 that appeared to have glowing halos. 630 00:35:18,417 --> 00:35:23,689 Officials dismissed the incident as a group hallucination 631 00:35:23,722 --> 00:35:26,292 resulting from oxygen deprivation 632 00:35:26,325 --> 00:35:28,927 and pressure fluctuations. 633 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,397 Later that summer, 634 00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:35,201 three more cosmonauts joined the Salyut 7 crew. 635 00:35:35,234 --> 00:35:40,606 All six of them, once again, saw these winged beings. 636 00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:42,308 But how could all of these cosmonauts 637 00:35:42,341 --> 00:35:44,776 share one hallucination? 638 00:35:49,381 --> 00:35:52,684 It seems to me that this was not hallucination, 639 00:35:52,718 --> 00:35:55,421 that whatever it was they were witnessing, 640 00:35:55,454 --> 00:35:56,755 it was real.
