A mysterious signal

detected beneath the ice of Antarctica.

A lake in China where UFOs are seen emerging

from beneath the water.

And powerful magnetic anomalies observed

near Mount Denali in Alaska.

For over a decade, Ancient Aliens has investigated

locations notorious for strange phenomena.

Now we're going to explore the most compelling

and anomalous sites we've featured.

Sites that some believe are hidden alien bases.

People love to tell me about their UFO sightings,

and it seems like there are more now than ever.

Which begs the question: is it possible

that aliens actually reside right here on Earth?

In this countdown, we take a look at locations

around the planet that might be hiding secret

outposts for otherworldly beings.

We start at one of the coldest places on Earth,

where military whistleblowers describe very strange activity

beneath the ice.

At number ten on our countdown of the top ten

hidden alien bases: Antarctica.

On the bottom of our planet lies the coldest

and most isolated continent in the world... Antarctica.

The average daily temperature at the South Pole

is -56 degrees Fahrenheit,

and wind speeds can reach over 100 miles per hour.

Today, the only inhabitants of this barren landscape

are a few thousand scientists who work

in research stations scattered across the continent.

But most interesting to ancient astronaut theorists

are reports of extraterrestrial activity

that is hidden under Antarctica's ice.

Something seems to be going on

on this mysterious continent at the South Pole.

And it has been theorized by a number of people

that Antarctica is some kind of alien base.

One of the earliest accounts of extraterrestrial activity

in Antarctica can be found

in a curious report from the 1930s.

During World War II, the Nazis used

U-boats to go down to Antarctica and explore it.

Allegedly, they found some of these caverns beneath the ice

and technology which perhaps came from extraterrestrials.

After the Nazis were defeated in 1945,

the U.S. military sent an expedition to Antarctica.

According to reports, soon after the expedition arrived,

they encountered alien craft coming up out of the water.

Antarctica has had a number of interesting UFO types of events

since the 1940s that were very well documented.

Is it possible that Antarctica is

not only home to an extraterrestrial presence

but is the location of a hidden alien base?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and point to shocking disclosures

from those on the ground that validate these claims.

In February 2019,

investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe

interviewed a former Navy flight engineer about his experience

on the condition that she not reveal his identity.

Her source, who is identified as "Brian,"

provided her with details of a mysterious structure he claims

to have seen during his time in Antarctica.

According to "Brian," sometime around October 1985,

he and his team

were instructed to fly from McMurdo Station

to Davis Camp to pick up an injured scientist.

A trip that would take about six hours.

However, they received strict orders

to avoid flying over a so-called air-sampling station

that was along the most direct route.

So, we were given orders to deviate...

I believe it was 30-mile deviation

away from the air-sampling station.

The officers on board suggested that we fly

straight over the air-sampling station

and not deviate, and that would save us 30 minutes.

- It was a no-fly zone. - It was a no-fly zone

for that specific region, um, around the Pole.

When the crew flew over the area where

the air-sampling station was supposed to be,

what they observed was something much different.

There was this giant indentation that looked like a hole

in the ice that looked like a snow ramp

that went down into it.

The Polar Plateau at South Pole is completely flat.

There are no holes there.

Now there's this big, large hole in the ice

that stood out like a sore thumb.

It should not have been there.

Is it possible that the strange hole that Brian saw

was the entrance to a secret,

even extraterrestrial base that is hidden in Antarctica?

When we think about the location of an alien base,

our attention should immediately focus on Antarctica.

It's the perfect location for an extraterrestrial base

if something was coming to and from Earth

but wanted a permanent presence here.

A base beneath the ice of Antarctica would be

a great location for extraterrestrials to hide out.

But there is another compelling site in China,

where it's said that alien craft emerge

not from under the ice but from deep underwater.

At number nine on our countdown: Fuxian Lake.

Yunnan Province, China.

October 24, 1991.

A local fisherman named Zhang Yuxiang is fishing on

Fuxian Lake during a clear and tranquil day,

when a mysterious object

suddenly appears in the vast body of water.

He described it as a shining disc.

And he said that the wake from this was so powerful,

it actually tossed the boat around.

And then rapidly this craft just disappeared

up into the sky.

Could it be that an extraterrestrial base

is located deep underwater?

Perhaps clues can be found in historic accounts

of USOs, or unidentified submersible objects,

that have been seen at Fuxian Lake for hundreds of years.

According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi, a book written during

the reign of Emperor Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty,

a horse-like monster lived in the lake.

The animal was described as being white

with red spots on its back.

More intriguingly, it was a creature that could

actually take to the skies.

Is it possible that the UFOs emerging

from the water are evidence of an alien base

hidden deep beneath the surface of Fuxian Lake?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to evidence

of an underwater city that was recently discovered

in this large body of water.

Ancient Chinese records speak of a city

in the area of Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan.

However, studies of the underwater structures

show that it's actually much older

than this Yuyuan city.

So you have to wonder, is this some kind of

underwater extraterrestrial base?

In 2014, a mysterious structure was discovered

off the coast of Southern California

that some believe presents some of the best evidence yet

that extraterrestrials are residing on the ocean floor.

Number eight on our countdown

of the top ten hidden alien bases:

the Malibu USO base.

With almost 30 miles of coastline,

this picturesque region boasts spectacular beaches,

abundant hiking trails, and world-famous surfing.

It's also a hot spot for sightings

of mysterious lights in the water.

Folks have seen lights

in the water outside

Point Dume off the Malibu coast.

Off the coast of Malibu, USOs are phenomenally common.

A USO is an unidentified submersible object.

One theory

about this trans-medium travel

and these USOs is that what we're seeing

is evidence of underwater bases.

They're operating here, but under the oceans,

right under our noses.

Is it possible that there is an extraterrestrial base

in the oceans around Southern California?

Many UFO researchers say yes

and point to satellite images captured in 2014

that reveal a curious formation on the seabed

six miles off the coast of Malibu.

The satellite photos show what seems to be

an oval, flat-topped structure

that's got legs coming down that are holding it up.

It's about 2,000 feet underwater.

A lot of people got very excited by this discovery.

It's really quite striking, and it really does look artificial.

And it makes you wonder, is this, as some believe,

an extraterrestrial base?

Is there a connection between the strange lights

seen in the waters off the coast of Southern California

and the mysterious undersea structure

captured in the satellite image?

For scientists it's a distinct possibility.

If all these objects are observing us,

they must have a base of operations.

So perhaps there's an underwater base

that is away from prying eyes of humans.

That cannot be ruled out.

I find it fascinating

that all around the world,

ancient people referred to mountaintops

as the home of the gods.

And at one summit in Greece,

there is an ancient structure

that is described as the actual landing spot

of an otherworldly being.

Number seven on our list of the top ten

hidden alien bases: the dragon house.

Euboea, Greece.

This majestic island is famous for its crystal-clear waters,

white sand beaches and charming villages.

But dotting the landscape are mysterious structures

that some researchers believe have an otherworldly connection.

In Greece, we find these highly mysterious buildings

referred to as dragon houses.

These are megalithic structures

that are built out of these very large stones.

Of the 25 dragon houses in Euboea,

the one that is believed to be the oldest

is of particular interest to ancient astronaut theorists.

The main dragon house is at the very top

of one of the tallest mountains

on the island called Mount Ochi.

And it is one of the largest megalithic structures

in all of Greece.

According to legend,

the dragon house on top of Mount Ochi

was built to venerate the arrival of

otherworldly visitors.

The reason why they're called dragon houses

is because it is thought

that Zeus...

...descended from the sky in a dragon.

Countless times, our ancestors

referred to these things up in the sky as dragons.

And why?

Because there was a lot of smoke and fire.

From the ancient astronaut perspective,

the dragon was never a dragon.

It was a flying craft.

In my opinion,

this was an extraterrestrial visitation

where Zeus may have descended in his craft

and built a day camp.

Could the dragon house at the top of Mount Ochi

be the remnants of a hidden base

where otherworldly beings landed in the distant past?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and suggest evidence of this can be found

in the structure's remote location.

Archaeologists have a hard time explaining why

it was even built there

because we are talking of this gigantic,

megalithic structure with a ceiling

that contains blocks that are up to ten feet long,

two feet thick,

at an altitude of 5,000 feet.

So why any people back in the day

would build something up there would make no sense

unless you wanted to be closer to the gods.

Now, when you put all this together,

this sounds like the dragon house

is a meeting place of heaven and Earth.

In UFO vernacular, that would be a landing spot.

When it comes to mysterious locations

that might be hiding alien bases,

one of the most extraordinary

can be found high up in the Himalayas.

According to local legends,

there is a snow-capped peak

that contains a secret entrance

to a city of the gods.

Number six on our list:

Mount Kailash.

Tibet.

Standing amongst the mighty Himalayas

is the most important mountain

for many of the region's three million Buddhists,

Mount Kailash.

According to ancient Buddhist texts

known as the Kalachakra tantra,

Mount Kailash is the location of a secret kingdom

where heavenly beings reside on Earth.

It's known as Shambhala.

The Buddhists in Tibet have a very strong tradition

of a place called Shambhala.

Shambhala is a secret city. It's said to be underground.

It's ruled by kings who live for hundreds of years.

They have wonderful technology.

There are flying saucers and things like that.

The Himalayan region is filled with stories

of so-called celestial beings

that descended from the sky

in flying vehicles.

According to some of the earliest Sanskrit texts,

the first Buddha that ever walked the Earth

was nine feet tall, had light blue skin,

and his arms reached all the way down to his knees.

The reason why this area of the world

has become a religious center

is because of the arrival of the extraterrestrials.

Curiously, many who have explored

this sacred peak have observed mysterious objects in the sky.

Mount Kailash

is at the center of all sorts of mysteries.

UFO sightings,

the hint that there might be something hidden there,

but it's unknowable.

Is it possible that the mysterious phenomena

occurring at Mount Kailash,

and its association with Shambhala

is connected to a hidden extraterrestrial base?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest answers can be found

by studying the sacred Buddhist monuments

known as stupas.

A stupa, by definition, is a vehicle

with which to reach the realm of the gods.

That is the definition of a stupa.

Well, just change the wording of vehicle

with which to reach space.

For centuries, people have been sighting UFOs

coming in and out of Mount Kailash.

It's very interesting when you compare

the shape of the stupas that we find in Tibet,

with these dome shapes, and how they highly resemble

flying saucers sitting on the ground.

So, perhaps people saw these craft entering into Kailash

and decided we're gonna build stupas

in remembrance of what they saw.

Might the Buddhist stupas of Tibet

be monuments to alien craft

witnessed flying in and around Mount Kailash?

Could it be that somewhere on the slopes of this mountain

is the entrance to a hidden extraterrestrial base?

Mount Kailash is known as the gateway to Shambhala.

There are many myths and legends

and strange things that have gone on at Mount Kailash.

People go there on pilgrimages,

but they're told not to stay there long

because there's something radioactive inside the mountain.

And we're told that people live there,

both in physical form

and in nonphysical form.

It has to be one of the strangest places on the planet.

We're coming up on the halfway point

of our countdown of the top ten hidden alien bases,

and this next location has documented anomalous activity

for thousands of years.

Perched high in the Italian Alps is a mountain

that is said to be a destination for UFOs.

Number five on our list:

Mount Musinè.

Turin, Italy.

Situated on the western bank of the Po River,

this city of nearly two million people

is an important international business hub.

But overlooking this modern metropolis

is Italy's most mysterious,

and infamous, ancient site:

Mount Musinè.

Rising to an elevation of nearly 4,000 feet,

Mount Musinè has stood at a unique crossroads

of history and mysterious phenomenon.

This is a mountain

where, over the years,

almost to the beginning of recorded human history,

strange things have been seen.

Lights were seen.

There has been all sorts

of weirdness on this mountain.

Local legends passed down from ancient times

tell about this mountain being home to werewolves and wizards.

And in the 4th century AD,

the Roman Emperor Constantine

saw a cross floating in the sky over the mountain,

which inspired him to convert the empire to Christianity.

This light phenomenon

and unusual activity on Mount Musinè

has been going on for thousands of years,

and continues to this day.

In 1933,

it's claimed that a UFO crashed

in the Lombardy region of Italy.

This was apparently an object around

50 feet in diameter,

like two saucers joined together.

It was described as being grayish in color and metallic,

and apparently, it was then taken by the military

and studied

on the personal orders

of the then dictator Benito Mussolini.

According to some accounts, the UFO crashed

near the city of Magenta,

just 80 miles northeast of Mount Musinè.

For ancient astronauts theorists,

the proximity to Mount Musinè is no coincidence.

Let's just suppose that the common thread here

is actually Earth energies,

which the UFOs know about

and use, perhaps,

to draw the energy that they need.

So, might we be dealing with, not just visitation,

but a more permanent facility?

When we try to come to a conclusion

or a summation about what is going on in Italy,

going back from prehistoric times to modern times,

the common element is

the gods came to this very specific place

because of something at Mount Musinè.

Something either in the mountain or something

that was placed there by them.

The reports of extraterrestrial craft

at Mount Musinè are certainly compelling.

But at this next site in New Mexico,

witnesses claim to have had actual encounters

with alien beings.

At number four: the Dulce underground base.

Dulce, New Mexico.

Towering over this small town in the northern part

of the state is the Archuleta Mesa.

This region has been home to the Jicarilla Apache Indian Tribe

for over six centuries.

Their oral histories date back hundreds of years

and are filled with stories of mysterious beings

who came from the stars and live underground.

I was working in Dulce, New Mexico,

and I had been told that the Apaches wanted to talk to me

where several had seen

a huge glowing disc,

and they wanted to tell me

that they knew for a fact

that the star people

are some type of beings that are underground in Dulce

at Mount Archuleta

and Archuleta Mesa.

According to government insiders,

located nearly two miles beneath Mount Archuleta

is a secret subterranean military installation

known as the Dulce Air Force Base.

Whistleblower Phil Schneider

claimed to have worked on the construction

of this underground base for the U.S. government.

Phil Schneider was a very interesting geologist

used by the U.S. government to do excavations

of large areas under military contract

where they were essentially going to be building

large caverns and connecting underground passageways.

On May 8, 1995,

Schneider gave a presentation in Post Falls, Idaho

and claimed he was attacked by extraterrestrials

deep underground.

Part of what I'm going to tell you

is going to be very shocking.

I was involved in 1979 in a horrendous firefight with

alien-human type whatever you want to call them.

And, uh, I was one of the survivors.

66 Secret Service agents, FBI, and the like,

Black Berets, died in that firefight.

Basically, what had occurred

was that we surprised a whole

under-mountain base of existing aliens.

Is there really a secret military base

hidden deep in the mountains of Dulce, New Mexico?

One that is occupied by extraterrestrial beings?

While the idea might sound like science fiction,

a similar base exists within Cheyenne Mountain

outside Colorado Springs.

This is a mountain that has been hollowed out

by the U.S. military.

It's the NORAD central command.

But, in Dulce, New Mexico,

the U.S. government is saying that there's nothing there,

they have no military base there,

and yet,

people who live there say there is something going on here.

And so, perhaps, at Dulce, one day they will admit,

yes, we were doing something there.

If Aliens are here on Earth, it makes sense

that they would be hiding out in remote and isolated locations.

And one of the most compelling places

we've examined on Ancient Aliens is a spot

in Alaska that is concealed deep underground.

According to government whistleblowers,

it is the site of an ancient structure

that was built with extraterrestrial technology.

Number three on our countdown

of the top ten hidden alien bases:

the Dark Pyramid of Alaska.

The largest of all U.S. states.

It's home to the nation's highest peak,

its biggest national park,

and more coastline than all other states combined.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the dense uninhabited wilderness of Alaska

conceals a multitude of mysteries,

and perhaps an extraterrestrial presence.

Within this area,

incredible amount of weird things take place.

We have paranormal activity,

the appearance of strange cryptids

and other monsters of time and space,

as well as the manifestation of UFOs

and mysterious lights.

Within this region of anomalous activity

stands Mount Hayes, one of Alaska's tallest peaks

and a place where UFO sightings

are reported with great frequency.

Many people have seen UFOs, flying saucers, strange lights,

flying in and around Mount Hayes.

Now there's no road that can go up there.

The only way to get to Mount Hayes is to actually

fly there, which most people don't do.

So, what are these craft that are flying around Mount Hayes?

For decades, eyewitness testimony

was the only evidence to support the notion

that Mount Hayes was a UFO hotspot.

But in 1995, declassified CIA documents

revealed that Mount Hayes was the focus

of a top secret government project called "Stargate."

Researchers were looking through CIA documents,

and they found evidence of a project underneath Mount Hayes.

And they say they saw, written in these records,

that it was actually an alien underground base in this area.

Could there be a hidden extraterrestrial base in Alaska?

While the idea sounds farfetched, in 1992,

U.S. geologists detected a mysterious pyramidal object

underneath Mount Denali.

Seismic instruments revealed

that the top of the 550-foot-tall pyramidal object

lies 150 feet below ground

and just 130 miles southwest of Mount Hayes.

Many researchers believe it is an artificial structure,

which has become known as the "Dark Pyramid."

The Dark Pyramid is this massive pyramidal structure

under Mount Denali,

which is said to be twice the size

of the Great Pyramid of Giza and made of black stone.

Investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe

has spent years researching the Dark Pyramid

and has interviewed a number of people

who claim to have information

about the mysterious underground structure,

including one man who claims his father

has actually been inside the Dark Pyramid.

He said that his, uh, father was

working for Western Electric and

ended up as a very skilled electronic engineer

being asked to go to a location

west of what was Mount Denali.

His father told him that there was a big freight elevator

that was sticking up out of the ground,

and, when you got to the bottom,

opened up into full-bore room,

work, offices.

The father is introduced to the fact

that they are at the bottom of a pyramid.

And that, at each of the three corners,

they had these offices that were actually monitoring energy.

And the father tells the son who got in touch with me,

"We are measuring energy

"coming out of this pyramid

"that is enough

to power the entire country of Canada."

The stories of the Dark Pyramid are pretty interesting,

and you've got to wonder if there is not some kind of

powerplant that's there underground

in the middle of Alaska, and if this dark pyramid

isn't some kind of extraterrestrial base.

Northern California is home

to one of the most mysterious places on Earth.

It's a mountain that is said to have been inhabited

by otherworldly beings for thousands of years

and a place where UFOs are witnessed

on a regular basis to this very day.

Number two on our countdown

of the top ten hidden alien bases: Mount Shasta.

Northern California.

Towering over the landscape, at an elevation

of more than 14,000 feet stands Mount Shasta.

This rugged peak has been the location

of strange and incredible stories for thousands of years.

Mount Shasta is where there are multiple strange events

taking place.

UFO sightings,

paranormal events, strange disappearances...

...that go back throughout history.

And indeed, one can look to certain

Native American legends, for example,

to say that Mount Shasta has always

been associated with strange goings on.

Local Indigenous tribes, such as the Shasta,

Wintu, Modoc, and Karuk have inhabited

the area for more than 12 centuries.

Each revere Mount Shasta as a place where sky beings

landed on the Earth and created civilization.

The local people believe that in ancient times,

the great Sky Chief Skell came down from the sky to live

in Shasta, and has been there ever since and protects it.

The people who live near Mount Shasta

have been encountering UFOs for more than a hundred years.

Almost everyone who lives there

has-has seen something unusual.

One of the most remarkable UFO sightings

I've heard of, it took place in 2008.

Witnesses in the town of McCloud

saw a UFO that looked like a giant

glowing jellyfish move over the town and then

fly off into the distance.

I was driving back from Klamath Falls,

eh, around 7:00, 6:30-7:00 in the evening in the summertime.

All of a sudden I looked up on the mountain and I seen

the whole mountain toward Yreka side open up.

And then this big ship came and sat there

and hovered for a minute and then went right in.

And next thing you know, the mountain closed,

and I was like, "What is going on?"

I never let things like that bother me now.

I've seen things like that all the time.

Over the years, there have been a number

of very significant UFO sightings

around Mount Shasta.

And you have to wonder why is that the case?

I don't think we can rule out the idea

of some sort of permanent presence buried deep

within Mount Shasta itself.

Could alien beings really be living inside Mount Shasta?

In November 2020, author and researcher William Henry,

along with local historian Dustin Naef,

set out to explore Pluto's Cave

on the slopes of Mount Shasta.

That is just spectacular.

It is here where numerous

eyewitnesses claim to have encountered mysterious beings

emerging from inside the mountain.

There's a really big subculture here in Mount Shasta that has

always believed that these caves and tunnels contain

a civilization full of people just like you and I.

And they come back and forth through portals

hidden in these caves.

If you look on the USGS charts,

there's an immense negative magnetic anomaly

that surrounds Mount Shasta.

That's the lay line they describe here, right?

Yeah, a lot of psychic and paranormal phenomena actually

occurs in places that have magnetic anomalies.

And used as a... as a portal between

the inner Earth realm and the stars?

Yeah.

Anything capable of generating, you know,

energy like that could be conceptualized as a portal.

I've had people actually contact me and tell me they've seen

people in this very cave walk right into a wall

- and vanish. - Wow.

For many hundreds of years, Mount Shasta has been known

for entities that manifest out of the mountain.

They appear, they travel and then they disappear.

And this would seem to have led

to the belief that there might be some kind of

secret alien base actually deep within that mountain.

There's only one hidden alien base left on our list,

and you won't want to miss it.

Because this one is truly out of this world.

We've finally reached the end of our countdown

and at the top of our list is a location that is so remote,

it's not on our planet at all.

Number one on our list

of the top ten hidden alien bases: the Moon.

Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean make history

by becoming the third and fourth person to land on the Moon.

After they return to the command module, they detach

the lunar module and crash it into the Moon's surface.

Upon impact, something very unexpected happens.

The Moon reverberates for more than an hour.

With Apollo 12, people refer

to a crash. It wasn't really a crash.

It was an aimed de-orbit of

the rocket used to lift off the lunar module.

And the crew separated the launch vehicle,

and crashed it back into the ground

right close to where they'd had a seismograph

that they had installed down there.

Well, it vibrated, so it was kind of an early clue

as to how solid was the surface of the Moon.

What was amazing

about this is that, suddenly, the Moon began

to ring like a bell,

and did so for nearly an hour.

Dr. Wernher von Braun, who was then the head of NASA,

decided that for Apollo 13,

they were going to intentionally crash a heavier portion

of the rocket into the lunar surface.

And when they did this,

the Moon rang like a gong this time,

for over three hours

and to a depth of over 20 miles.

This was not expected,

and it still puzzles a lot of scientists today.

The inference is that the Moon must be hollow

because the Moon is made, predominantly on the surface,

of a kind of rock called "basalt."

Although it's a very lightweight rock,

it also absorbs impact extremely well.

And so, if the whole of the Moon was made of that kind of rock,

you wouldn't expect it to reverberate

when a large impact took place.

The reason that this is played down is

because the idea of the Moon being hollow,

uh, just contradicts what we know about physics.

In his 1966 book,

Intelligent Life in the Universe,

renowned scientist and astronomer

Carl Sagan, defined modern scholarship

regarding the composition of celestial bodies

throughout the cosmos.

Carl Sagan suggested

that a natural satellite cannot be a hollow object.

This is very odd,

because why would the Moon be vibrating

unless it's a hollow object?

That would suggest it's artificial.

Is it possible the Moon is not only hollow,

but an artificial structure?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and point to a sensational paper published in 1970

by Soviet scientists Mikhail Vasin

and Alexander Shcherbakov.

In it, the scientists propose

that the Moon is likely a creation

of alien intelligence

that was brought to Earth in the remote past.

It would seem to be that our Moon is some kind

of gigantic, artificial spaceship

that is here to monitor our planet.

And it only makes sense

that if extraterrestrials are coming to the Earth,

that they would be using the Moon

as a kind of forward base for our planet.

It's perfect for observing

and coming to and from planet Earth

and going to other planets or solar systems.

Is the Moon really a giant alien base?

It sounds crazy,

but when you look at all the evidence,

it's an intriguing theory.

And as far as I'm concerned, each one

of the locations on our list deserves a closer look,

because whether they're high in the mountains,

deep underwater,

or even orbiting the planet,

there is incredible evidence that Earth is home

to extraterrestrial outposts that are hiding in plain sight.
