that China‐‐ 82 00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:47,662 a historically isolationist country‐‐ 83 00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:49,706 may have secretly been in contact 84 00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:52,125 with

There's always been a sense that the rest of the world 88 00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:04,137 was unimportant, that China was for China 89 00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:06,556 and for the Chinese, and they were very careful 90 00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:08,850 about any secrets that came out. 91 00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:11,937 POPE: China is a notoriously closed 92 00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:14,731 and secretive society. 93 00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:18,777 Is this in relation to UFOs because they know something? 94 00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:21,738 Could it be that they found something? 95 00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:24,324 PAUL STONEHILL: The Chinese government does not 96 00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:27,661 feel obligated to explain their views on UFOs 97 00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:29,955 or their research. 98 00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:32,624 I am sure they are concerned that, um, 99 00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:35,168 those who study UFOs sometimes 100 00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:39,673 see military tests in the skies of China. 101 00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:44,052 They are a self‐immersed civilization 102 00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:47,138 and they don't feel perhaps 103 00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:49,307 that they need to share all their historical knowledge 104 00:05:49,307 --> 00:05:51,268 with the others. 105 00:05:53,061 --> 00:05:55,647 NARRATOR: China is the world's most populous country, 106 00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:59,901 with a unique blend of ancient and modern civilization. 107 00:05:59,901 --> 00:06:02,779 Westerners have long held a fascination 108 00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,240 with this distant land, in part 109 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,785 because it seems to hold so many secrets. 110 00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:12,497 From the construction of the 13,000‐mile‐long 111 00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,416 Great Wall of China, 112 00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:18,044 erected thousands of years ago, 113 00:06:18,044 --> 00:06:21,172 to the so‐called digital "Great Firewall" 114 00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:23,383 restricting the Internet today‐‐ 115 00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:26,595 China has taken extraordinary measures 116 00:06:26,595 --> 00:06:28,847 that have prevented both people and information 117 00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:32,183 from entering or leaving its domain. 118 00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,895 But why? 119 00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:39,566 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 120 00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:41,651 the answer may be found 121 00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:45,697 by looking back 5,000 years to China's beginnings 122 00:06:45,697 --> 00:06:49,034 and the reign of their very first ruler‐‐ 123 00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,412 the Yellow Emperor. 124 00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:55,248 DOMINIC STEAVU: The Yellow Emperor is understood to be 125 00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:56,958 a human figure, but 126 00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,836 originally in his earlier incarnation 127 00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:03,548 he was actually a divine celestial figure. 128 00:07:03,548 --> 00:07:07,677 He was a god associated with thunder and lightning, 129 00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,346 more specifically. 130 00:07:09,346 --> 00:07:12,849 And he was thought to reside in the sky. 131 00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:19,189 The reign of the Yellow Emperor, which purportedly 132 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:22,859 lasted 100 years, was thought to be a high point 133 00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:26,529 of Chinese culture and of civilization. 134 00:07:26,529 --> 00:07:30,408 So he's associated with a number of technological developments 135 00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:34,204 spanning from the calendar, 136 00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:36,331 advances in mathematics, 137 00:07:36,331 --> 00:07:40,710 astronomy, agricultural techniques, writing as well. 138 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:43,880 NARRATOR: According to ancient accounts, 139 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,590 the Yellow Emperor possessed knowledge 140 00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:47,842 of advanced technology, 141 00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:50,679 and invented many mechanical devices, 142 00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:53,306 including a cauldron that was oriented 143 00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:56,893 towards the Syuan Yuan star, 144 00:07:56,893 --> 00:08:00,730 the star from which he is said to have descended. 145 00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:04,150 It was written that the cauldron could make a dragon appear 146 00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:06,486 from the sky. 147 00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:09,072 STEAVU: When the time was right, he crafted the cauldron, 148 00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:12,701 and in it he threw in some alchemical ingredients, 149 00:08:12,701 --> 00:08:14,494 uh, elixir ingredients. 150 00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,705 (explosion) 151 00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:20,375 And immediately the heavens opened and a dragon emerged. 152 00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:25,547 TSOUKALOS: So a flying dragon sometimes described 153 00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:28,299 with metallic skin, 154 00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:30,719 one has to wonder do we have descriptions 155 00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:33,179 of nuts and bolts machines? 156 00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:36,641 Could these be nothing else but descriptions 157 00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:38,143 of misunderstood technology? 158 00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:40,937 (Shili speaking Chinese) 159 00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:42,522 SHILI (translated): Based on our research, 160 00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,733 the Yellow Emperor arrived 161 00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,568 in the wonderful land of China through an aircraft. 162 00:08:46,568 --> 00:08:48,319 (speaking Chinese) 163 00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,822 (translated): We Chinese people consider ourselves 164 00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:54,451 the descendants of the dragon. 165 00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:57,871 In UFO research, a dragon is the symbol of aircraft, 166 00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:00,957 that is, the symbol of a UFO. 167 00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:07,172 NARRATOR: Is it possible the Yellow Emperor 168 00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:10,425 was an extraterrestrial that was responsible 169 00:09:10,425 --> 00:09:12,302 for starting Chinese civilization 170 00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:15,388 over 5,000 years ago? 171 00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:18,600 And if so, might subsequent emperors, 172 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,519 who all claimed to be descendants of Huangdi, 173 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,772 have been at least part alien as well? 174 00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:30,653 In China's ancient history, 175 00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:35,241 it was often forbidden to look upon the emperor. 176 00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:38,244 And from 1420 to 1912, 177 00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:40,705 emperors were actually walled off 178 00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:43,833 from the public within a massive citadel in Beijing 179 00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,376 known as the Forbidden City. 180 00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:52,467 The design of the Forbidden City was meticulously planned 181 00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:55,428 to shield the emperor from the outside world, 182 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:59,974 as well as symbolize Chinese philosophy and religion. 183 00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,393 The Forbidden City was considered to be 184 00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:05,522 an earthly counterpart to an extraterrestrial city. 185 00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:10,652 A monk received the plan for the city in a vision, 186 00:10:10,652 --> 00:10:15,365 and it was built of stones, some of them weighing over 300 tons. 187 00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:17,909 The full name of the Forbidden City is actually 188 00:10:17,909 --> 00:10:19,369 "the Purple Forbidden City," 189 00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:22,789 and this refers to a constellation, 190 00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:26,501 which is known as the "purple enclosure," in the skies. 191 00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:31,297 This constellation is said to house the celestial emperor 192 00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,424 and his immediate entourage. 193 00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:36,678 So, the Forbidden City in Beijing is considered to be 194 00:10:36,678 --> 00:10:39,264 a earthly or terrestrial counterpart 195 00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:44,310 of this celestial palace up in the stars. 196 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,312 CHILDRESS: So you have to wonder, 197 00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:50,817 might these Chinese emperors have been aliens 198 00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:54,737 living both among people of the Earth and in the sky? 199 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,535 NARRATOR: Was the practice of hiding Chinese emperors 200 00:11:00,535 --> 00:11:05,832 implemented to conceal flesh and blood extraterrestrials? 201 00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:10,170 And, if so, might there still be aliens living among‐‐ 202 00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:14,174 and in fact ruling‐‐ the Chinese people, 203 00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:17,760 just as former Chinese official Sun Shili 204 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,804 claims there are today? 205 00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:22,682 Ancient astronaut theorists 206 00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,976 propose further evidence 207 00:11:24,976 --> 00:11:27,854 lies buried in an isolated desert 208 00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:31,774 in the form of mysterious mummies. 209 00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:39,741 NARRATOR: Heilongjiang Province, China. 210 00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:42,952 June 1994. 211 00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:46,748 Red Flag logging camp. 212 00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:50,877 Tree farmer Meng Zhaoguo spots what he believes to be 213 00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:55,840 a helicopter crashing into the nearby Dragon Mountains. 214 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,594 He sets out to investigate, 215 00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:02,889 and when he reaches the lip of the valley, 216 00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,768 he is struck on the head and knocked unconscious. 217 00:12:08,811 --> 00:12:12,065 He wakes up several days later in his bedroom at home, 218 00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,274 doesn't know how he got there. 219 00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:17,695 But he also that day has a visitation 220 00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:20,949 by what he describes as a ten‐foot‐tall extraterrestrial 221 00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:23,952 female with six fingers. 222 00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:26,579 They're floating in the air above his bed. 223 00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,623 Suddenly she vanishes. 224 00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:30,083 She walks through the wall in his room 225 00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:31,918 and he floats back into his bed. 226 00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:37,298 NARRATOR: While this account is certainly fantastical, 227 00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:40,718 Beijing‐based psychologists and police technicians 228 00:12:40,718 --> 00:12:44,806 subjected Zhaoguo to a rigorous examination, 229 00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:48,768 including hypnosis and a lie detector test and 230 00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:52,188 concluded his story to be truthful. 231 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:55,400 Zhaoguo is one of literally thousands 232 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,612 who have come forward in China in recent years to say 233 00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:03,283 that they have had extraterrestrial encounters. 234 00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:06,828 But his abduction by this otherworldly giant 235 00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,955 is particularly significant 236 00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:12,792 because of an extraordinary archaeological discovery 237 00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:17,338 in China that dates back nearly 4,000 years. 238 00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:21,759 The Taklamakan Desert, 239 00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,095 known as "the Sea of Death." 240 00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:27,098 It is a vast, unforgiving land 241 00:13:27,098 --> 00:13:30,310 shrouded in myths and lost to time. 242 00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:33,604 CHRISTOPH BAUMER: The Taklamakan Desert 243 00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:37,984 is located in the northwest of China... 244 00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:12,894 NARRATOR: While the Taklamakan Desert 245 00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:17,398 is one of the least habitable places on Earth, astoundingly, 246 00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:21,235 over the last three decades, Chinese archaeologists 247 00:14:21,235 --> 00:14:24,530 working in the Tarim Basin region have excavated 248 00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,158 hundreds of tombs that date back 249 00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:30,453 to as early as 1800 BC. 250 00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:04,737 NARRATOR: The well‐preserved 251 00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:06,697 nature of the mummified bodies 252 00:15:06,697 --> 00:15:08,324 allowed archaeologists 253 00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:11,035 to conduct modern DNA analyses 254 00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:14,956 that determined the ancient travelers were not Chinese. 255 00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:53,369 WILCOCK: Now, these mummies were very curious 256 00:15:53,369 --> 00:15:55,705 in that some of them have 257 00:15:55,705 --> 00:15:59,041 what the biologists call Europoid features. 258 00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:01,919 This means they have angular faces. 259 00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:04,130 They have recessed eyes. 260 00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:05,923 They have white skin. 261 00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:07,675 They have elongated bodies, 262 00:16:07,675 --> 00:16:10,428 and they have curly hair 263 00:16:10,428 --> 00:16:14,265 that can be red, blonde, or dark brown. 264 00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:17,059 When they've actually tested 265 00:16:17,059 --> 00:16:20,313 the mitochondrial DNA of these mummies, 266 00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:24,317 they find Haplogroups M and K, which are actually 267 00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:28,029 genetic DNA markers suggesting 268 00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:30,823 Western European genetic lineage. 269 00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:32,742 However, there is a problem. 270 00:16:32,742 --> 00:16:35,036 There are anomalies in the DNA. 271 00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,871 There are things that do not add up... 272 00:16:38,414 --> 00:16:41,209 ...to any known surviving relics 273 00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:43,211 of genetic information 274 00:16:43,211 --> 00:16:44,712 that we have from anywhere else. 275 00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:46,714 This suggests that these people 276 00:16:46,714 --> 00:16:48,841 may in fact be extraterrestrials. 277 00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,137 NARRATOR: Could the mysterious mummies 278 00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:54,764 discovered at the Tarim Basin 279 00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:57,683 really be of alien origin? 280 00:16:59,894 --> 00:17:03,940 And might it also be possible that the giant being 281 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:08,694 Meng Zhaoguo encountered in his home in 1994 282 00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:12,907 is a member of the same alien race? 283 00:17:12,907 --> 00:17:16,911 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest 284 00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:18,704 further proof can be found 285 00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:21,249 by examining the evidence discovered 286 00:17:21,249 --> 00:17:24,669 at one of China's most secret pyramids. 287 00:17:32,677 --> 00:17:37,473 NARRATOR: Shaanxi Province, China, 1947. 288 00:17:37,473 --> 00:17:41,352 Colonel Maurice Sheahan, the Far East director 289 00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:42,687 for Trans World Airlines... 290 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,234 ...is flying over Central China, when he spots 291 00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:49,944 a white jewel‐topped structure 292 00:17:49,944 --> 00:17:54,657 that he estimates to be a 1,000‐foot‐high pyramid. 293 00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:56,951 HENRY: Colonel Maurice Sheahan looks down 294 00:17:56,951 --> 00:17:59,161 and he sees a giant pyramid 295 00:17:59,161 --> 00:18:03,165 that he says is larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza. 296 00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:05,209 He reports this to The New York Times 297 00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:06,752 and it causes a sensation. 298 00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:11,090 NARRATOR: On March 27, 1947, 299 00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:15,261 Colonel Sheahan's eyewitness account is circulated worldwide 300 00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,179 when The New York Times 301 00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:20,641 reports his story and two days later a photograph 302 00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:23,561 of the mysterious structure is printed. 303 00:18:23,561 --> 00:18:26,314 HENRY: Since then, 37 more pyramids 304 00:18:26,314 --> 00:18:29,567 have been sighted in this area of China, 305 00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:33,029 including the mausoleum of the first Chin emperor, 306 00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:37,158 where we find the incredible terra‐cotta warriors. 307 00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:39,243 It suggests that ancient China 308 00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:41,996 was a place where pyramid building was rampant. 309 00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:47,126 VON DANIKEN: It was always known 310 00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,046 that there were pyramids in China, 311 00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:53,424 but only in the last, uh, decades, 312 00:18:53,424 --> 00:18:56,177 Chinese archaeologists start 313 00:18:56,177 --> 00:18:59,472 to publish books about these pyramids. 314 00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:03,601 They are all related to the original rulers. 315 00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:09,315 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists contend not only that 316 00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:13,694 the formations found in Xian are pyramids, but also that 317 00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:15,780 another structure discovered here 318 00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:18,949 points to a connection to the heavens. 319 00:19:23,037 --> 00:19:28,250 In the summer of 1999, the oldest known altar used 320 00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:31,837 in Chinese state religious practice was unearthed in Xian 321 00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:35,675 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. 322 00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:40,012 It is estimated that 17 Chinese emperors conducted 323 00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:43,099 religious rites at the so‐called Altar of Heaven 324 00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:48,229 that dates back to at least 581 AD. 325 00:19:48,229 --> 00:19:51,232 VON DANIKEN: All the Chinese kings communicated 326 00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:54,568 with the extraterrestrials, the gods from heaven, 327 00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:59,115 on the so‐called Altar of Heaven. 328 00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:03,035 But the same stone structure, with different ring 329 00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:06,539 about the main altar, we find in Peru, 330 00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:10,209 over the city of Saksaywaman. 331 00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:13,754 And, the rulers of the Inca were, of course again, 332 00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:17,216 the descendants from heaven, like in China. 333 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,885 It's incredibly unique 334 00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,346 that you have Muyuq Marka in Peru, 335 00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:23,848 and the Altar of Heaven in China, 336 00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:26,183 coming from two very different cultures, 337 00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:29,478 two different time periods, that you have so many unique 338 00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:31,731 similarities between these two structures, 339 00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:35,985 and they're both used for communication with the gods. 340 00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:38,446 Could that suggest that these ancient cultures 341 00:20:38,446 --> 00:20:40,072 were trying to worship and venerate 342 00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,199 the same extraterrestrial gods 343 00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:44,076 that may have visited this planet in ancient times? 344 00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:46,579 NARRATOR: Is it possible 345 00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,080 that the mysterious structures 346 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,333 found in and around the city of Xian, China, 347 00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:54,253 were used by ancient rulers to connect 348 00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,714 with otherworldly beings? 349 00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:02,636 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that another, 350 00:21:02,636 --> 00:21:06,265 even more mysterious pyramid, can be found 351 00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:11,854 roughly 500 miles west of Xian in the province of Qinghai, 352 00:21:11,854 --> 00:21:14,440 atop Mount Baigong. 353 00:21:16,192 --> 00:21:20,070 In 2003 a team of Chinese scientists went to Tibet 354 00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:23,157 and investigated the infamous Mount Baigong... 355 00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:27,369 ...which has, as they discovered, 356 00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:29,455 a 200‐foot‐tall pyramid 357 00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:31,332 at the top of the mountain. 358 00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:35,336 There was a system of caves inside that had triangular faces 359 00:21:35,336 --> 00:21:37,880 at the openings of the caves on three areas, 360 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,635 and they found a variety of rusty pieces 361 00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:44,136 that were around the pyramid. 362 00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:49,975 CHILDRESS: Mount Baigong appears to be an artificial pyramid 363 00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:53,103 with three triangular entrances 364 00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:56,857 going inside this mountain pyramid, 365 00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:00,361 and inside are all of these metallic pipes. 366 00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:03,823 The floor of these caves 367 00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:06,951 are littered with metallic parts. 368 00:22:06,951 --> 00:22:09,787 It's like this was some kind of base. 369 00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:15,918 NARRATOR: According to ancient astronaut theory, 370 00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:18,504 the reason that pyramids are found all over the world 371 00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,214 from Egypt, 372 00:22:20,214 --> 00:22:21,590 to Peru, 373 00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,218 to Mexico 374 00:22:24,218 --> 00:22:26,887 is because our ancestors were taught to build 375 00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:30,558 these structures by extraterrestrial visitors. 376 00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:35,437 If the mysterious pipe‐shaped objects found at Mount Baigong 377 00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:39,275 were artificially manufactured with advanced technology, 378 00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:43,320 could this be definitive proof of alien intervention 379 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,155 in the distant past? 380 00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:49,410 In Chinese mythology, 381 00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:53,539 the Kunlun Mountain was said to be the center of the Earth, 382 00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:55,916 and it was supposedly 383 00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:59,461 a‐a huge pillar of jade and jasper 384 00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:02,006 and precious gems that 385 00:23:02,006 --> 00:23:04,258 reached up into the sky. 386 00:23:04,258 --> 00:23:07,595 STEAVU: Mount Kunlun is a mythical mountain 387 00:23:07,595 --> 00:23:12,558 that is an axis mundi, which is a central pillar 388 00:23:12,558 --> 00:23:15,352 around which the entire universe revolves. 389 00:23:15,352 --> 00:23:17,354 This is a connector 390 00:23:17,354 --> 00:23:22,484 between Earth and the rest of the universe. 391 00:23:22,484 --> 00:23:27,990 It's where celestial beings can communicate with earthly beings. 392 00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:32,411 You have to wonder if Mount Baigong is not 393 00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,372 this mythical Kunlun Mountain 394 00:23:35,372 --> 00:23:39,209 that was some kind of extraterrestrial base 395 00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:42,922 that spanned Earth and the stars. 396 00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:48,594 NARRATOR: Could it be that extraterrestrials 397 00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:51,639 visited China thousands of years ago 398 00:23:51,639 --> 00:23:55,100 and left behind remnants from an ancient base? 399 00:23:56,727 --> 00:23:58,479 Ancient astronaut theorists 400 00:23:58,479 --> 00:24:01,023 suggest China's biggest secrets 401 00:24:01,023 --> 00:24:04,652 may not be on top of its greatest peaks, 402 00:24:04,652 --> 00:24:07,738 but beneath its darkest depths. 403 00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,333 NARRATOR: Fuxian Lake. 404 00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:23,045 Yunnan Province, China, 1992. 405 00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:26,090 Expert diver, 406 00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:28,300 Geng Wei, descends into this 407 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:31,929 remote lake and discovers a surprising phenomenon. 408 00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:37,351 The bottom is littered with hand‐carved flagstones 409 00:24:37,351 --> 00:24:39,645 and other stone relics. 410 00:24:41,355 --> 00:24:42,690 The mysterious stones 411 00:24:42,690 --> 00:24:44,775 lie scattered on the bottom 412 00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:47,486 of China's second deepest freshwater lake, 413 00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:51,740 which covers an area of 100 square miles 414 00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:54,785 with a depth of 509 feet. 415 00:24:57,371 --> 00:25:00,082 What he saw was quite extraordinary. 416 00:25:00,082 --> 00:25:04,420 Hand‐dressed flagstones, roads, buildings. 417 00:25:05,796 --> 00:25:08,257 And it's as if he discovered 418 00:25:08,257 --> 00:25:09,675 an underwater city. 419 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,679 That clearly has evidence of dwellings 420 00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:15,472 at the bottom of a lake. 421 00:25:15,472 --> 00:25:18,392 It was built when there wasn't a lake, 422 00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:20,894 and that would mean that we're talking about a time 423 00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:23,814 before the last ice age, which would bring 424 00:25:23,814 --> 00:25:25,983 the story of Fuxian Lake 425 00:25:25,983 --> 00:25:29,486 way more into the remote past than what we're being told. 426 00:25:31,697 --> 00:25:34,575 CHILDRESS: Geng Wei made over 35 dives 427 00:25:34,575 --> 00:25:37,369 in Fuxian Lake, 428 00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:41,665 and they even took a submarine down into this lake 429 00:25:41,665 --> 00:25:44,793 to find stairs 430 00:25:44,793 --> 00:25:49,465 and more of these flagstones and walls beneath this lake. 431 00:25:49,465 --> 00:25:51,842 So you have to wonder, 432 00:25:51,842 --> 00:25:55,846 did some kind of advanced civilization exist 433 00:25:55,846 --> 00:25:59,016 at one time beneath Fuxian Lake? 434 00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:05,105 NARRATOR: In 2001, archaeologists 435 00:26:05,105 --> 00:26:07,566 from the Yunnan Provincial Museum 436 00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:10,861 used advanced sonar scanners and cameras 437 00:26:10,861 --> 00:26:15,449 to conduct the monumental task of surveying Fuxian Lake. 438 00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,369 The evidence collected convinced 439 00:26:19,369 --> 00:26:22,414 Chinese archaeologists they had discovered structures 440 00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:25,292 of an advanced civilization, 441 00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:29,046 including an arena‐type building and pyramids. 442 00:26:30,631 --> 00:26:33,675 This mysterious sunken city covers 443 00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:37,679 more than one square mile, but the questions remain. 444 00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:41,100 Who built it and why? 445 00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:43,936 The pyramid itself is very unusual 446 00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:46,563 and it's‐‐ it‐it is said that the pyramid 447 00:26:46,563 --> 00:26:49,566 is as old as the Egyptian pyramids are 448 00:26:49,566 --> 00:26:52,945 and maybe even higher than some of them. 449 00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,322 It's an incredible discovery. 450 00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:00,369 CHILDRESS: Ancient Chinese records 451 00:27:00,369 --> 00:27:01,787 speak of a city in the area 452 00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:04,206 of Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan. 453 00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:07,751 However, studies of the underwater structures 454 00:27:07,751 --> 00:27:12,756 at Fuxian Lake show that it's actually much older 455 00:27:12,756 --> 00:27:15,259 than this Yuyuan city. 456 00:27:15,259 --> 00:27:18,011 Could this be the remains of some ancient 457 00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:22,432 and advanced society that was destroyed in the Great Flood? 458 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,938 NARRATOR: Is it possible that an extraterrestrial base 459 00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:30,482 is located deep underwater? 460 00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:36,572 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 461 00:27:36,572 --> 00:27:38,866 and suggest USOs, 462 00:27:38,866 --> 00:27:41,535 or unidentified submersible objects, 463 00:27:41,535 --> 00:27:44,913 have been well chronicled in ancient Chinese texts. 464 00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:49,793 REDFERN: According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi, 465 00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:51,336 a book written during the reign 466 00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:54,840 of Emperor Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, 467 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,968 a horse‐like monster lived in the lake. 468 00:27:57,968 --> 00:28:00,304 The animal was described as being white 469 00:28:00,304 --> 00:28:02,264 with red spots on its back. 470 00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:04,266 More intriguingly, it was a creature 471 00:28:04,266 --> 00:28:06,852 that could actually take to the skies. 472 00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:11,440 This suggests it may have been part USO, part UFO. 473 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,650 That's to say, an underwater submersible object 474 00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,737 and also an unidentified flying object. 475 00:28:19,573 --> 00:28:23,619 NARRATOR: October 24, 1991. 476 00:28:23,619 --> 00:28:28,582 A local fisherman named Zhang Yuxiang was fishing 477 00:28:28,582 --> 00:28:32,753 on Fuxian Lake during a clear and tranquil day, 478 00:28:32,753 --> 00:28:37,424 when a dense fog suddenly rolled across the vast body of water. 479 00:28:37,424 --> 00:28:39,051 In 1991, 480 00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:44,598 Zhang Yuxiang, a fisherman, was at Fuxian Lake 481 00:28:44,598 --> 00:28:46,516 when he encountered a UFO. 482 00:28:46,516 --> 00:28:48,936 Now, this strange craft 483 00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:52,731 actually emerged from the waters of the lake. 484 00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:55,609 He described it as a shining disc. 485 00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:59,988 This UFO was so close and so powerful 486 00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:02,199 that it actually tossed the boat around. 487 00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:08,747 And then rapidly this craft just disappeared up into the sky. 488 00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:12,876 Lake Fuxian is clearly a‐an area 489 00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:16,713 where there have been many strange events over the years. 490 00:29:18,215 --> 00:29:19,758 NARRATOR: Could the flying dragon 491 00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,927 that carried the Yellow Emperor 492 00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:24,304 described in ancient Chinese texts 493 00:29:24,304 --> 00:29:27,933 and the USO witnessed by Zhang Yuxiang 494 00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:30,519 be the same alien craft? 495 00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:33,939 And if so, is it possible 496 00:29:33,939 --> 00:29:36,149 that an extraterrestrial base 497 00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:39,444 exists at the bottom of Fuxian Lake? 498 00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:43,573 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 499 00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:46,952 and claim strange sightings in China 500 00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,996 have become so numerous 501 00:29:48,996 --> 00:29:50,789 that soon the government 502 00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:51,915 will no longer be able 503 00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:54,251 to hide the truth. 504 00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:02,801 NARRATOR: Foshan, China. 505 00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:07,639 October 7, 2015. 506 00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:10,267 Above this sprawling metropolis, 507 00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:12,769 thousands of shocked residents witness 508 00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:15,105 an astonishing spectacle... 509 00:30:16,732 --> 00:30:20,694 a city hovering in the clouds. 510 00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:25,949 The apparition of a cityscape is unmistakable and remains 511 00:30:25,949 --> 00:30:28,577 in the sky for several minutes, 512 00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:31,121 long enough to be captured on video, 513 00:30:31,121 --> 00:30:34,708 which is broadcast on Chinese television 514 00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:38,795 and subsequently disseminated on social media across the globe. 515 00:30:40,297 --> 00:30:42,507 REDFERN: Numerous people reported seeing 516 00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,552 what looked like skyscraper‐type buildings 517 00:30:45,552 --> 00:30:48,805 in the clouds high in the sky. 518 00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:50,515 It was an amazing spectacle. 519 00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:52,225 There's just no other way to describe it. 520 00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,688 NARRATOR: While Chinese officials 521 00:30:56,688 --> 00:31:00,484 denounced the phenomenon as an elaborate hoax, to date, 522 00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,194 no one has been able to prove 523 00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:03,945 that the footage is not authentic, 524 00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:05,864 and the video 525 00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:09,743 is backed up by the reports of numerous eyewitnesses. 526 00:31:09,743 --> 00:31:14,039 But some argue that even if the footage is genuine, 527 00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,666 it can be explained by an optical illusion 528 00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:19,419 known as Fata Morgana. 529 00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:21,505 So, one theory about what this could have been 530 00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:23,632 is something known as a Fata Morgana, 531 00:31:23,632 --> 00:31:26,176 and, uh, that's a‐an illusion type of effect. 532 00:31:27,636 --> 00:31:28,804 Think of a mirage, 533 00:31:28,804 --> 00:31:30,305 in which you're seeing something 534 00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:31,890 close to the horizon, 535 00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:33,850 and it'll give an effect of something 536 00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:35,519 that's‐that's not there. 537 00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:37,020 It's an atmospheric illusion. 538 00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:39,397 The reason that I don't think 539 00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:41,983 that this is a Fata Morgana effect 540 00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:46,446 is because this is way too high up to be one. 541 00:31:47,864 --> 00:31:49,491 Using the idea that 542 00:31:49,491 --> 00:31:51,576 this is some type of inversion layer 543 00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,913 to somehow broadcast or enhance the idea of a cityscape 544 00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:56,957 in the sky just doesn't hold up. 545 00:31:56,957 --> 00:32:00,043 So, there could in fact have been some type 546 00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:03,672 of a large mother ship or some craft in the sky. 547 00:32:03,672 --> 00:32:04,840 This isn't new. 548 00:32:07,008 --> 00:32:08,718 Now, just a few days later, 549 00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:10,679 over 800 miles away, 550 00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:13,849 we had another sighting of this exact same phenomenon. 551 00:32:13,849 --> 00:32:16,434 So, it stands to reason that there was some type of 552 00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:19,729 physical presence in the sky. 553 00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:23,358 If we assume that the vision of a floating city in the sky 554 00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:26,236 that was seen in Foshan by thousands of people 555 00:32:26,236 --> 00:32:28,113 was just some kind of optical illusion, 556 00:32:28,113 --> 00:32:31,324 I find it highly coincidental that the same vision is seen 557 00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,535 hundreds of miles away a few days later 558 00:32:33,535 --> 00:32:35,662 in another city called Jiangxi, 559 00:32:35,662 --> 00:32:37,622 also witnessed by thousands of people. 560 00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:41,293 NARRATOR: Could thousands of people 561 00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,837 across China have really witnessed 562 00:32:43,837 --> 00:32:46,423 some type of alien base or mother ship 563 00:32:46,423 --> 00:32:48,216 floating in the sky? 564 00:32:51,178 --> 00:32:55,056 And if so, might it be evidence of extraterrestrials 565 00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:57,350 making their presence known? 566 00:32:57,350 --> 00:33:00,812 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 567 00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:02,647 there have been many more cases 568 00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:07,569 of alien entities appearing in the skies above China. 569 00:33:07,569 --> 00:33:10,739 Cases that the government could not ignore. 570 00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:16,536 Zhejiang Province, China. 571 00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:19,539 July 7, 2010. 572 00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:24,377 Just after 8:40 p. m., 573 00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:26,880 the Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, 574 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,925 which serves over 70,000 passengers a day, 575 00:33:29,925 --> 00:33:33,678 is suddenly shut down. 576 00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:35,889 All outbound flights are grounded, 577 00:33:35,889 --> 00:33:40,352 and inbound flights are diverted to nearby airports. 578 00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:45,065 The cause of the shutdown was an unidentified flying object 579 00:33:45,065 --> 00:33:47,651 seen streaking across the night sky 580 00:33:47,651 --> 00:33:50,070 by a flight crew preparing for descent. 581 00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:56,493 Xiaoshan Airport is one of the largest in China. 582 00:33:56,493 --> 00:33:58,495 And that's very important. 583 00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,705 It's a very busy airport. 584 00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:04,542 What happened on July 7 is that 585 00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,878 a pilot from an incoming passenger airplane 586 00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:09,798 noticed something very unusual coming towards him. 587 00:34:09,798 --> 00:34:12,175 He notified the ground crew 588 00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:15,095 and the airport was shut down 589 00:34:15,095 --> 00:34:19,182 because a comet‐like object 590 00:34:19,182 --> 00:34:21,393 was basically speeding towards the airport. 591 00:34:23,144 --> 00:34:25,772 There was a trail behind it. 592 00:34:25,772 --> 00:34:28,817 It was a glowing, oval‐shaped object. 593 00:34:28,817 --> 00:34:32,237 NARRATOR: The object was also witnessed and photographed 594 00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:36,116 by numerous Hangzhou residents. 595 00:34:36,116 --> 00:34:39,494 When the UFO was seen, all hell broke loose. 596 00:34:39,494 --> 00:34:41,830 Flights were diverted. 597 00:34:41,830 --> 00:34:43,748 The military was contacted 598 00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:46,001 to see if they were test‐flying anything in the air, 599 00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:47,961 which they weren't. 600 00:34:47,961 --> 00:34:51,881 This is the third such incident in five years in China 601 00:34:51,881 --> 00:34:55,719 where the presence of a UFO has either shut down an airport 602 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:01,224 or caused havoc and amazement amongst the populus. 603 00:35:01,224 --> 00:35:03,560 And it's clearly something that the Chinese government 604 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,895 want to shut down and play down. 605 00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:09,482 It could also be due to the fact that the Chinese have realized 606 00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:12,902 they're not in control of their airspace, somebody else is. 607 00:35:12,902 --> 00:35:14,946 (speaking Chinese) 608 00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:17,198 (translated): The Xiaoshan event is only one of the events 609 00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:18,825 of this kind. 610 00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:22,954 The same thing happened in Guizhou Province. 611 00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:26,916 At that time, the pilots were instructed to avoid the UFO, 612 00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:29,169 ground their aircrafts 613 00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,838 and return to the air after the event, 614 00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:34,591 which can provide evidence of the existence 615 00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:36,468 of the UFO phenomenon. 616 00:35:40,263 --> 00:35:42,390 NARRATOR: While many in the United States 617 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:46,186 view the UFO phenomenon as distinctly American, 618 00:35:46,186 --> 00:35:48,355 recent surveys have shown 619 00:35:48,355 --> 00:35:52,233 that roughly half of the 1.4 billion Chinese people 620 00:35:52,233 --> 00:35:56,655 believe in UFOs and extraterrestrial life. 621 00:35:56,655 --> 00:35:59,824 And ancient astronaut theorists suggest 622 00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:02,702 that despite the Chinese government's dismissal 623 00:36:02,702 --> 00:36:05,038 of recent UFO events, 624 00:36:05,038 --> 00:36:06,956 it now appears 625 00:36:06,956 --> 00:36:09,167 they too are taking an interest 626 00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:12,796 in otherworldly phenomena. 627 00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:15,507 It's incredibly popular in China to be a member 628 00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:18,301 of a UFO community that's trying to make contact 629 00:36:18,301 --> 00:36:20,720 with extraterrestrial beings. 630 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,515 The Chinese government is closely monitoring this 631 00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,600 and in fact they're financing some of these research groups. 632 00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:29,354 So, one wonders, 633 00:36:29,354 --> 00:36:31,690 is the Chinese government starting to view 634 00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:33,566 our contact with extraterrestrial beings 635 00:36:33,566 --> 00:36:36,069 as something simply too strong to deny? 636 00:36:36,069 --> 00:36:40,448 NARRATOR: Could recent events be forcing the Chinese government 637 00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:43,284 to take a greater interest in examining possible 638 00:36:43,284 --> 00:36:45,954 extraterrestrial encounters? 639 00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:50,667 Encounters that they have secretly known about for years? 640 00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:54,087 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 641 00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:57,924 and suggest that China's effort to manufacture 642 00:36:57,924 --> 00:37:00,969 the world's largest radio telescope 643 00:37:00,969 --> 00:37:05,557 is an explicit mission towards the search for alien life. 644 00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:17,902 NARRATOR Guizhou Province, China. 645 00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:19,612 2011. 646 00:37:22,115 --> 00:37:26,244 Construction commences on a massive engineering 647 00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,830 and scientific endeavor. 648 00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:34,085 A 500‐meter telescope, also known as FAST. 649 00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:39,799 Nan Rendong, chief scientist of the FAST project states, 650 00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:43,553 "A radio telescope is like a sensitive ear, 651 00:37:43,553 --> 00:37:46,973 separating radio messages from white noise in the universe." 652 00:37:49,476 --> 00:37:52,061 The Chinese government is currently constructing 653 00:37:52,061 --> 00:37:56,191 what will be the largest radio telescope anywhere in the world. 654 00:37:56,191 --> 00:38:00,945 The reflector dish will be 500 meters in diameter 655 00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:05,617 and this will dwarf any other comparable facility. 656 00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:09,913 It will be the best piece of equipment for 20 or 30 years 657 00:38:09,913 --> 00:38:12,207 when it comes to radio astronomy. 658 00:38:16,169 --> 00:38:18,171 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists 659 00:38:18,171 --> 00:38:21,633 point to the construction of this behemoth telescope 660 00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:26,346 as proof that China is deeply interested in extraterrestrials. 661 00:38:28,056 --> 00:38:31,309 Do they know there are aliens out there? 662 00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,186 Are they trying to get absolute, 663 00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:35,897 verifiable proof positive 664 00:38:35,897 --> 00:38:39,609 and be the first nation to disclose? 665 00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:42,987 The Chinese government was very clear in stating 666 00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:46,533 that this dish was built specifically 667 00:38:46,533 --> 00:38:49,118 for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. 668 00:38:49,118 --> 00:38:51,704 So then the question arises, 669 00:38:51,704 --> 00:38:54,707 are they merely following up on their history? 670 00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:57,043 Because China, 671 00:38:57,043 --> 00:39:00,338 as with every other ancient culture, 672 00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:02,423 was visited by extraterrestrials. 673 00:39:05,552 --> 00:39:08,263 What is their interest in exploring deep space? 674 00:39:12,392 --> 00:39:15,687 NARRATOR: The telescope was completed in July of 2016 675 00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:18,940 and is regarded as a giant leap forward 676 00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:22,068 with unprecedented precision that will allow 677 00:39:22,068 --> 00:39:25,780 the Chinese government to survey not only the Milky Way 678 00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:28,157 but also distant galaxies 679 00:39:28,157 --> 00:39:31,911 for radio signals and signs of life. 680 00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:34,581 While many other nations are currently designing 681 00:39:34,581 --> 00:39:37,959 or constructing advanced radio telescopes, 682 00:39:37,959 --> 00:39:41,254 none will surpass the size and capability 683 00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:43,506 of the FAST telescope. 684 00:39:43,506 --> 00:39:46,301 Wu Xiangping, director‐general 685 00:39:46,301 --> 00:39:50,597 of the Chinese Astronomical Society, declared, 686 00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,141 "It will help us to search for intelligent life 687 00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:55,602 "outside the galaxy 688 00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:58,730 and explore the origins of the universe." 689 00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:02,609 POPE: Out there somewhere might civilizations 690 00:40:02,609 --> 00:40:06,362 be posting scientific and technical information 691 00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:07,989 that they've discovered? 692 00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:12,827 And the first nation to download this information 693 00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,288 will have a huge advantage. 694 00:40:15,288 --> 00:40:17,498 They'll be the dominant force on this planet 695 00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:19,375 for the foreseeable future. 696 00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,461 Do the Chinese want to be first? 697 00:40:21,461 --> 00:40:23,504 Do they know it's out there? 698 00:40:23,504 --> 00:40:25,757 And is this radio telescope 699 00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:28,426 an attempt to go and get that information? 700 00:40:29,344 --> 00:40:31,804 (speaking Chinese) 701 00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:34,766 (translated): I think it's good and encouraging that our country 702 00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:38,061 is constructing such a huge telescope. 703 00:40:38,061 --> 00:40:40,438 It will help to find aliens 704 00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:42,357 and alien civilization. 705 00:40:45,985 --> 00:40:47,737 STONEHILL: For thousands of years, 706 00:40:47,737 --> 00:40:51,115 Chinese people have collected reports about UFO encounters 707 00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:53,701 and have recorded them. 708 00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:57,538 And those who studied are amazed at the accuracy 709 00:40:57,538 --> 00:41:01,000 and just the sheer wealth of the UFO information 710 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,628 coming from China, and I hope this will continue. 711 00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:07,465 TSOUKALOS: As China slowly opens its doors, 712 00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:10,718 is it possible that we'll encounter that the stories 713 00:41:10,718 --> 00:41:13,763 of the Yellow Emperor are in fact true? 714 00:41:13,763 --> 00:41:17,016 That they were visited by extraterrestrial beings 715 00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:18,601 in the remote past? 716 00:41:18,601 --> 00:41:20,520 Only time will tell. 717 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,691 Could it be that China 718 00:41:24,691 --> 00:41:27,402 is building the world's largest radio telescope 719 00:41:27,402 --> 00:41:31,698 not in hopes of finding proof of alien life in the universe 720 00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:36,577 but in order to welcome new messages from extraterrestrials 721 00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:38,746 that have been visiting China for thousands of years? 722 00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:44,293 And could stories of flying dragons, 723 00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:45,795 Yellow Emperors, 724 00:41:45,795 --> 00:41:49,382 and the existence of strange, secret pyramids 725 00:41:49,382 --> 00:41:52,427 be the proof that ancient astronaut theorists 726 00:41:52,427 --> 00:41:54,095 have been looking for? 727 00:41:54,095 --> 00:41:57,181 One thing is certain‐‐ 728 00:41:57,181 --> 00:42:01,477 the evidence of extraterrestrial contact is mounting. 729 00:42:01,477 --> 00:42:03,396 And the ultimate close encounter 730 00:42:03,396 --> 00:42:04,647 could soon happen 731 00:42:04,647 --> 00:42:08,901 right before our eyes. 57411
