GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: In the early 20th century,

scientist Nikola Tesla

developed much of the electrical system

that powers the world today.

He envisioned incredibly advanced technologies

far ahead of his time.

And he even claimed to have made contact

with otherworldly beings.

The ancient astronaut theory suggests that extraterrestrials

visited Earth in the distant past

and forever changed the course of mankind,

but I think that the story doesn't end there.

I propose that alien beings have continued to guide us

throughout our history, monitoring our progress,

helping us to advance, and perhaps even influencing

the greatest human minds at key periods in time.

Nikola Tesla once said, "If you wish

"to understand the universe, you must think of energy,

frequency, and vibration."

He believed that electricity is all around us,

only needing to be harnessed

and that it should be free to everyone.

In 2015 a company that bears Tesla as its namesake

introduced a new home battery

that is recharged with the help of solar panels.

If successful, it would bring mankind one step closer

to realizing Nikola Tesla's incredible dream.

NARRATOR: New York City.

January 7, 1943.

Famed inventor Nikola Tesla

dies of a heart attack on the 33rd floor

of the Hotel New Yorker.

Within hours of his body being discovered,

his nephew arrives at room 3327

and discovers Tesla's remains

as well as his technical papers and notebooks

have already been removed.

Speculation spreads that

the Federal Bureau of Investigation

had seized the items

and quickly designated them top secret.

DAVID WILCOCK: Nikola Tesla was completely paranoid

about someone trying to kill him,

and as soon as he died,

U.S. government agents swooped in

and confiscated all of his scientific papers.

In a very short time, everything

that he had been guarding with his life was gone.

NICK REDFERN: The official story is that nothing

of any great significance was found.

It was just a lot of scientific papers and documents.

However, there have been a lot of rumors over the years

that the material that was recovered

was profoundly significant

in terms of a lot of highly advanced scientific concepts.

NARRATOR: Just who was this mysterious figure

known as Tesla?

And why would his notebooks elicit so much interest

from the United States government?

The life of Nikola Tesla was a dramatic one

from the very beginning.

He was born at the stroke of midnight

on July 10, 1856,

during a violent lightning storm

in what is now Croatia.

MARC SEIFER: It was during an electrical storm,

and the midwife saw this as a bad omen.

But there was a flash of lightning

and Tesla's mother said, "No, this will be a child of light."

TIM SWARTZ: At an early age,

Nikola Tesla showed

a superior mind. He was already

inventing things. He invented toys

that used insects to power them.

But he was fascinated by thunderstorms.

And when he would see the lightning,

he became fascinated with electricity.

And he was determined that he was going to harness

the power of the earth and the universe

for the benefit of mankind.

NARRATOR: In 1881, after eight years studying physics,

math and engineering at universities

in Graz, Austria and Prague,

Tesla became an electrical engineer

for a telephone company in Budapest.

Three years later, the 28-year-old moved

to the United States and took a job

in New York City

working for Thomas Edison.

But very quickly, the two would become rivals

in what became known

as the War of the Currents.

SEIFER: In a sense you have dueling wizards.

Edison was performing with direct current.

Tesla came along with alternating current.

Competing to win the right to harness Niagara Falls--

that was the big prize.

If you harnessed Niagara Falls, you would control

all the power for the entire northeast.

NARRATOR: In Edison's direct current distribution system,

the steady stream of electricity

would lose potency

as it traveled down the line.

This required power plants every half-mile

and could only supply enough power

to lightbulbs.

Tesla designed a far more sophisticated system

utilizing alternating current,

which could easily be manipulated along the way,

allowing for not only lightbulbs to be powered,

but also other electric devices.

Using Niagara Falls as a hydroelectric power source,

Tesla's system could illuminate

the entire northeast.

SEIFER: It'd be like comparing a horse and buggy

to a jet plane. Tesla had the jet plane.

Edison had the horse and buggy.

There is no comparison at all.

Tesla had a quantum leap ahead.

NARRATOR: Edison criticized Tesla's model

as highly dangerous in an effort

to ensure that his system won out.

He even went so far as holding public demonstrations

using alternating current to electrocute

cats and dogs...

and even a rogue elephant.

But Nikola Tesla's superior AC power system

ultimately prevailed, and today

it still remains the foundation

of the world's power grid.

JOHN BRANDENBURG: Tesla allowed the world to be electrified,

and not only that,

he brought electricity from being

kind of a useful thing to being a universal thing

that could be used all throughout society.

NARRATOR: But Nikola Tesla not only

efficiently electrified the world,

his legacy includes groundbreaking work

on electric railroads,

fluorescent and neon lights,

wireless radio communications,

X-ray,

remote control,

turbine engines,

speedometers,

helicopters

and even torpedoes.

By the time of his death,

Tesla held nearly 700 worldwide patents.

GEORGE NOORY: Nikola Tesla was one of the world's

greatest inventors. Tesla was like

Leonardo da Vinci.

He had the mind of a futurist

and he was able to do incredible things.

NARRATOR: But just how is it that Nikola Tesla

was so far ahead of his time?

For decades, the forward-thinking inventor--

a man shrouded in mystery--

has fascinated scholars

and researchers.

SEIFER: Tesla came from a very strange area.

Actually, it wasn't too far from Transylvania.

He was tall and thin, he spoke

11 or 12 different languages.

And he does these fantastic inventions

and fantastic performances.

So he had this mystique about him.

RABBI ARIEL BAR TZADOK: Nikola Tesla is born at a time,

which, coincidentally,

coincides with an ancient

Zoharic prophecy

that speaks about the opening

of the gates of wisdom upon the earth.

And who's born at this time?

Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein.

This is the beginning of so many things.

NARRATOR: But could there really be something more

to the prophecies, rumors and wild speculations

surrounding Nikola Tesla?

Something, perhaps, even otherworldly?

JASON MARTELL: Throughout history there've been various

prophets and scientists that have really effected

the human evolution.

Like Einstein, Galileo, Copernicus.

And Tesla's definitely one of these type of people.

We have to wonder if these people aren't

somehow involved in some larger plan of influence

on humanity as a whole.

DAVID CHILDRESS: Some researchers into Tesla

think that he was some kind

of special human receiver.

And if that's the case, then we have someone

who the ETs were helping

to move along and develop

the amazing inventions that light the world today.

WILCOCK: Is it possible that Tesla knew

he was on a mission? Was he attempting

to uplevel our technology to the point

at which we would be capable

of having all of the abilities of those who,

in ancient times, were called the gods?

NARRATOR: Is it possible,

as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest,

that Nikola Tesla was being influenced

by extraterrestrials?

Extraterrestrials on a mission

to advance mankind?

Perhaps answers can be found

by further examining the inspiration

behind one of Tesla's greatest achievements.

TSOUKALOS: To this day, many people mistakenly believe

that Guglielmo Marconi was the inventor of radio.

But the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent

in 1943, when it was proven

that someone else had invented radio

more than a decade earlier,

Nikola Tesla.

But while transmitting radio signals was a groundbreaking

and world-changing achievement,

Tesla accomplished a far more impressive feat

that scientists today have still not mastered,

the wireless transmission of electricity.

NARRATOR: Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is home

to some of the world's greatest minds.

MIT researchers are on the forefront of innovation,

including the development of wireless transmission of power.

Efficient wireless transmission of electricity

has eluded scientists for years.

Radio waves, microwaves,

and even laser beam transmission of power

have fallen short.

But in 2007, MIT researchers were able

to safely transmit power wirelessly

seven feet across a room,

a feat heralded as a first step to cutting the power cord.

Incredibly, a world in which all electrical devices

would be automatically powered at all times,

requiring no charging or wires

was envisioned more than a century earlier

by inventor Nikola Tesla.

SEIFER: Tesla went out to Colorado Springs

to see if he could send electricity miles,

which is a tremendous achievement.

But he had a huge tower,

and that was 200 feet to the top.

His assistant was located at the laboratory,

and Tesla said, "When I give you the signal,

"I want you to throw the switch

and fire up the wireless system."

And Tesla probably walked four miles away.

NARRATOR: Tesla inserted lightbulbs into the earth

to see if his tower was in fact

creating a wireless circuit with the ground.

If so, the bulbs would light up.

SEIFER: These lightbulbs were being lit,

so he was able to establish that he could transmit

electrical power over great distances.

But he did keep it a secret.

He even kept the mechanics a secret from his assistant,

who didn't totally know all the details of what he was doing.

NARRATOR: Shoreham, New York.

1901.

Tesla convinces banker J.P. Morgan to give him

$150,000 for the construction of a radio station,

but instead he uses the money

to build a giant wireless transmitter

he calls Wardenclyffe Tower.

SEIFER: Wardenclyffe was 187 feet to the top,

but it also went 120 feet down into the ground.

And Tesla had envisioned receiving stations

which would look just like the Wardenclyffe Tower

at different nodal points around the earth.

So you would jump energy by means of wireless

from station to station.

He even thought that he could eventually use the same system

to jump power to different planets.

NARRATOR: But Tesla's dream of creating

a highly efficient broadcast

of wireless electricity was cut short

when in 1904 its funder, J.P. Morgan,

discovered Tesla's true intentions,

to provide free power to everyone on the planet.

With lack of additional funding,

by 1908, the project was completely abandoned.

And in 1917, the tower was demolished.

No company, no corporation wants to give away

its technology freely.

So Tesla was shut down

so that the world wouldn't have free energy.

NARRATOR: But just how was Tesla able

to transmit electricity wirelessly for several miles

when modern scientists can only manage seven feet?

Tesla credited his many inventions

to the ability to realize them entirely in his mind.

He also described experiencing intense flashes of light,

which were followed by moments of intense creativity

and clarity.

SWARTZ: He would see an invention appear

before his eyes in almost holographic detail.

He said that he could rotate these visions,

take them apart piece by piece.

And he knew exactly how he was going to build these inventions

based on his visionary experiences.

SEIFER: One of his greatest creations

is the rotating magnetic field,

and that came in a flash of intuition.

He felt that we were receivers, that all impulses came

from the outside and that we worked on these impulses.

So he doesn't believe that they come from dreams

or inner visions.

He really felt that we were,

in a sense, self-propelled robots.

NARRATOR: Some ancient astronaut theorists believe

there may be another explanation

for Tesla's uncanny abilities and mysterious visions.

They suggest these spontaneous episodes are proof

that Tesla was receiving information

from an otherworldly source.

BAR TZADOK: These images would literally burst into his mind.

Somehow, somewhere, some connection was made,

and it's the same way

that biblical prophets received their prophecy.

Nikola Tesla was clearly in touch with something.

You have to wonder if extraterrestrials themselves

weren't feeding him

images of inventions that only he could understand.

SWARTZ: Nikola Tesla felt

there was a knowledge base located somewhere

in the universe

that all of humanity could tap into

if they just knew how to properly tune their mind

to this knowledge base.

NARRATOR: Is it possible Nikola Tesla

was actually being fed images

to assist him in furthering mankind?

And if so,

could Tesla have tapped into an ancient source of knowledge,

perhaps even rediscovering technology

that may have been used before?

TSOUKALOS: We have these stories of towers

that might have relayed energy,

like the obelisks that we can find all around the world,

that they at some point were

all connected and that they were feeding

off the earth's magnetic grid.

SWARTZ: It's been discovered in

ancient Egyptian temples and tombs,

carvings that look suspiciously like modern-day lightbulbs

and Tesla coils.

CHILDRESS: Was there a certain technology and energy system

of ancient times

that we still have remnants of today?

Giant pyramids, obelisks,

huge standing stones and towers.

Perhaps they were all part of some extraterrestrial,

huge energy system.

NARRATOR: Was Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower

meant to connect to an ancient energy grid,

powered not only by the earth

but eventually by other planets as well?

And if so, is it possible Nikola Tesla

was communicating with advanced celestial beings

that visited Earth thousands of years ago?

Perhaps further clues can be found

with the mysterious radio transmissions

Tesla claimed he received in 1899

from outer space.

After Tesla mastered the transmission

and reception of radio waves,

he developed another groundbreaking technology

based on the same principles, remote control.

In 1898, he held a public demonstration

of a radio-controlled boat he called teleautomaton

during an electrical exhibition at Madison Square Garden.

To the people of the time, this was nothing short of magic,

being able to physically control an object

without touching it.

Remote control made other modern technologies possible,

like motion sensors and even Bluetooth.

But most of all, Tesla demonstrated

that we can, in fact, connect with powers in the universe

that we cannot see,

including those of an extraterrestrial nature.

NARRATOR: Colorado Springs.

July 1899.

While testing a magnifying transmitter

built to track storms,

Nikola Tesla claims he received

some sort of transmission from an unknown source.

SEIFER: One night he was tracking thunderstorms

600 miles away.

But, all of a sudden, he heard these beeps.

[beeping]

And it was three beats in sequence.

And so it was mathematical.

And it didn't make any sense to him.

And the more he thought about it,

he thought that they came from outer space,

perhaps from the Martians.

[beeping]

BRANDENBURG: Mars' orbit brings it close to the earth

periodically about once every 1.8 years.

And at one of those close encounters,

uh, he believed he was picking up signals from Mars.

THOMAS VALONE: He most likely had made a receiver

that was sensitive enough to receive radio waves,

as we now know, come from galaxies

and lots of different, uh, extraterrestrial sources.

So he interpreted them as signals from ETs.

But perhaps he had an open channel

that we really still don't understand today.

SEIFER: Tesla believed it's absurd to think

we're the only intelligent beings in the universe.

If that's the case,

where are they in the intelligence hierarchy?

And why wouldn't they want to communicate

with an intelligent force on the earth?

NARRATOR: Tesla reported this otherworldly communication

and proclaimed his belief in extraterrestrials

in February of 1901,

in an article forCollier's Weekly

titled "Talking with the Planets."

Tesla became obsessed with trying to receive

further radio communications from other planets.

Based on these transmissions that Tesla was receiving,

he developed a theory that this extraterrestrial presence

had been on Earth

for a millennia.

That these extraterrestrials

had been... controlling mankind

from the very beginning.

WILCOCK: How far did these communications go?

Did it lead to the point where he was actually able

to receive useful information

that was helping him build his inventions?

Many believe that is what happened,

and that Tesla had direct contact,

through the things he'd invented,

with extraterrestrial intelligence.

NARRATOR: But the shocking revelation

was shunned by Tesla's scientific peers,

and led many to deem him a "mad scientist."

So you have Nikolai Tesla

electrifying the world, literally.

Then, about the time that he had a falling-out

with J.P. Morgan, a very powerful man,

he'd also had a legendary falling-out with Edison,

another legendary powerful man.

Then it came out that he was trying to perhaps

signal the planet Mars.

And...

his enemies exploited this,

uh, I think, to try and discredit him.

NARRATOR: In the early 1900s,

it was rumored that Tesla was being considered

to receive the Nobel Prize,

but mysteriously, he never did.

SEIFER: Even today, scientists don't take him into account

the way they should.

Tesla talked about atoms working like solar systems,

and that light could work as a wave and a particle.

Einstein got a Nobel Prize

for saying light worked like a particle.

And Bohr and Rutherford got a Nobel Prize

for saying that atoms

were like little solar systems.

So why is he removed

from the history of quantum physics

when he really belongs at the heart of it?

So, I think he's been unfairly treated by the physicists,

and part of the reason is his attachment to extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Was Nikola Tesla

simply letting his imagination get the better of him?

Or is it possible he really was in contact

with extraterrestrial beings?

NARRATOR Belgrade, Serbia.

Housing more than 160,000 documents,

the Nikola Tesla Museum offers rare insight

into some of Tesla's future plans,

including what some believe

to be drawings of spaceships.

According to historians, Tesla began work

on his "flying machine" in 1910,

focusing on the useof field propulsion, or antigravity.

It is believed Tesla had discovered

that high amounts of electricity

could actually create lift in an object.

Throughout the 1920s and '30s,

Tesla continually talked about

antigravity ships that could derive power

from his Wardenclyffe Towers

that were gonna be broadcasting power.

He claimed that these ships did not have wings or fuel;

they were completely electric.

NARRATOR: But were Tesla's designs

truly the first of their kind...

or is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest,

that similar vehicles had already visited the planet

in the remote past?

In the ancient Indian epics, the Vedas,

we find references of vimanas,

those flying chariots

that were used by the gods in order to travel

from point "A" to point "B."

Some of these vimanas were able to alter direction

at the drop of a hat without any effort.

So now reading this from a modern-day perspective

would suggest that some type of antigravity device was used.

You could link this from the ancient to the modern world

with the modern UFO phenomenon.

And so the idea

that Tesla might have worked on an antigravity device

is very plausible to me.

NARRATOR: Are the depictions of flying machines

in ancient Hindu texts, like the Mahabharata,

really proof that Tesla had received otherworldly knowledge

in order to design antigravity spaceships?

And if the so-called "mad scientist"

actually did make contact with extraterrestrials,

is it possible he continued to carry out their wishes...

in secret?

NARRATOR: Palo Alto, California.

2013.

A Silicon Valley start-up's all-electric sports car

winsMotor Trend's Car of the Year.

It's one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles

on the planet,

produces no emissions,

and can go from zero to 60 miles per hour

in four seconds.

The Model S energizes the electric car industry

and reintroduces its namesake to the world stage--

Tesla.

CHILDRESS: It's interesting to think,

in 1931 Tesla told reporters that he had converted

a Pierce-Arrow car

into a completely electric car.

Tesla showed them the car.

He drove it around; it went as fast as 90 miles per hour.

When you look at it, many of the inventions

that Tesla talked about, and even patented,

were eventually developed.

NARRATOR: The list of technologies

that can be traced back to the drawing board

of Nikola Tesla is endless.

Modern humanoid robotics...

solar and wind power...

weather manipulation...

drones...

and even planetary-exploration vehicles.

Getting as little as just two hours of sleep per day,

the inventor's sole purpose on Earth

appeared to be geared toward one end--

advancing technology for the future of the human race.

He always had his eye on the future.

And further, he was trying to shape the future

through his inventions.

BAR TZADOK: Mr. Tesla was not unique in this.

Many of the founders,

leaders of religion

also were compelled

by inner experiences which pushed them

to materialize these things in the world.

So, in a religious context,

we would say that a religious leader

is in touch with something divine.

In a scientific context,

we wouldn't necessarily use the word "divine,"

but yet, somehow, somewhere, people are being contacted,

receiving communications,

which are leading to the clear introduction

of new things

in humanity.

Tesla seemed to have this drive

that put everything else by the wayside.

When he was working on an invention,

food, sleep, relationships, human interaction,

none of that mattered.

It's almost as if he was on some type of a mission--

a mission, possibly, with a greater plan,

under the influence of extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Was Nikola Tesla really inspired to invent

by an extraterrestrial source,

as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

And if so,

might further clues be found

in what some believe

to be the rantings of a madman?

?

By the time Nikola Tesla moved into his final home--

the Hotel New Yorker-- in January 1934,

he had become better known

for his eccentricities than his inventions.

He reportedly was an extreme germaphobe,

preferred to work in almost complete darkness,

and was also obsessed with the number three.

SEIFER: Tesla was definitely interested in numerology,

and he was very superstitious.

He had to circle a building three times before he entered.

He had calculated nodal points around the planet,

and they were probably linked

to the numbers three, six and nine.

And he said that the numbers were very important.

WILCOCK: Nikola Tesla was quoted as saying,

if you knew the magnificence

of the three, six and nine,

you would have a key to the universe.

If we go to the Great Pyramid of Giza,

not only are there the three larger pyramids at Giza,

all side by side,

mirroring the positions of the stars in Orion's Belt,

but we also see a group

of three smaller pyramids

immediately away from the three larger pyramids.

Three and three.

Similarly, we find lots of evidence

that nature uses threefold and sixfold symmetry,

including the hexagonal tile shape

of the common honeycomb.

These shapes are in nature,

and the ancients emulated these shapes

in the building of their sacred architecture.

So Tesla's quote is neatly mirrored

in the actual archaeological evidence that we find

in many ancient architectural sites around the world.

NARRATOR: Could the numbers three, six and nine

really offer clues

to the inner workings of the universe?

If so, is it possible that Tesla uncovered

this profound secret, and used this knowledge

to push the boundaries of science and technology?

Perhaps the answer can be found

by examining Tesla's most controversial invention.

TSOUKALOS: It is perhaps fitting

that the most advanced electric car

on the market today is made by a company named Tesla

because Nikola Tesla's invention of a motor

with rotating magnetic fields is largely responsible

for most of the electric motors we have today--

from those that run power tools and household appliances

to disk drivesand water pumps.

But perhaps Tesla's most profound vision

for future technology was the one he called "the Death Beam."

But don't let the menacing title fool you.

This invention was not designed to take lives,

but to save them.

NARRATOR: New York City. July 1934.

On his 78th birthday Nikola Tesla makes headlines

on the front page of theNew York Times

for his alleged "Death Beam."

According to the article,

the weapon could generate enough energy

to bring down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes

as far as 250 miles away.

BRANDENBURG: Tesla apparently discovered

that he could direct a stream of plasma plus solid particles

for long distances

through the air and kind of direct a lightning bolt.

And he called this a Death Ray.

NOORY: Tesla wanted to invent a machine

that would knock out enemy aircraft in the air.

You would point it to the skies, turn it on,

and all of a sudden, those planes would just

fall like that.

Tesla felt that if every country had a particle beam weapon,

then no country would ever be invaded

because planes would be shot down and ships would be sunk.

So, he was trying to sell this particle beam weapon

to the U.S. government during World War II.

And I think Franklin Roosevelt was basically

looking at two possibilities.

Einstein was discussing the possibility of an atom bomb.

Tesla was discussing the possibility

of a particle beam weapon.

And it turned out the atom bomb was able to be invented.

[explosion]

And that's the way they went.

NARRATOR: Although the Death Ray announcementfailed

to ignite interest by the U.S.War Department,

some say other innovative work

by Tesla did catch their attention.

Earlier in his career,

while conducting research with one of his transformer coils,

Nikola Tesla had a near-death experience

when he came in contact with a resonating

electromagnetic charge of three and a half million volts.

Tesla was working with 60-foot lightning bolts,

and he made a mistake, and he almost got electrocuted.

And he couldn't get out.

And he had to get one of his workers

to stop the lightning from happening.

And he barely escaped with his life.

And because of the shock that he had, he had a revelation.

CHILDRESS: Tesla said

that he entered a state of timelessness,

and he could see the past and the future and the present,

all at once in this mystic vision.

But he was paralyzed, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Tesla was being essentially electrocuted,

and right then, his assistant cut the power to him.

But what Tesla said it had done was moved him

through time and space.

[thunder crackling]

NARRATOR: But is it really possible Tesla had found a way

to break through the space-time continuum?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe

the answer might be found

by looking at what has become known

as the Philadelphia Experiment.

According to reports, right before Tesla's death,

he was working with Albert Einstein

and the United States Navy at the Philadelphia Naval Yard

to create an electromagnetically-charged

invisibility cloak for the USSEldridge.

BRANDENBURG: They were attempting

to do a stealth technology,

and apparently they mounted a bunch of Tesla coils

to make a bunch of plasma around a ship,

and this is well known

to help hide things from radar.

But something very unexpected happened.

The ship didn't just disappear from radar.

It disappeared completely

and then reappeared with

some of the crew actually embedded

in the metal of the ship.

NARRATOR: Had Tesla really discovered a way

to travel through time and space?

If so, might the secrets behind this technology,

along with the blueprints for Tesla's Death Beam,

have been included in the scientific documents

that the FBI allegedly confiscated upon his death?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe

evidence of this might be found

with the modern world's most sophisticated new weaponry.

[explosion]

NARRATOR: The Singapore Air Show.

February 2014.

An Israeli arms company

known as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems,

reveals details of a laser defense system

capable of shooting missiles from the sky

with a pulse of energy.

[whooshing]

The futuristic military hardware is called Iron Beam.

REDFERN: The concept of Iron Beam

is that it's essentially a high-energy laser

that is designed

to rapidly heat up the target that it's aimed at.

We're talking about aircraft, drones, missiles.

Anything that could launch an attack on a city

could be literally destroyed in the sky by Iron Beam.

[explosive whoosh]

This sounds very much like Tesla's Death Ray.

CHILDRESS: This is exactly the kind of technology

that Tesla was talking about in the 1920s and '30s.

Using these beam weapons to shoot down missiles

and projectiles.

[explosion]

WILCOCK: The War Department sided with Einstein

and Oppenheimer's atomic bomb, not with Tesla.

But now what we're seeing is

that Israel is developing this Iron Beam technology,

because they realized

that atomic weapons were far too destructive.

Is it possible that Tesla developed a time viewing

or time travel technology,

and that he became aware of these developments?

NARRATOR: Tesla was once quoted as saying,

"The present is theirs,

but the future for which I have really worked is mine."

Did Tesla, in fact, see into the future?

[whirring]

Might Iron Beam be proof

that plans for the Death Ray not only existed,

but also may have even been confiscated and carried out

by the United States government?

There are those who believe

that Nikola Tesla was not only in contact

with extraterrestrials,

but was sent here to Earth by them

to fulfill a mission and usher in a new age for mankind.

There is an agenda for humanity. There is a plan.

And in every generation,

whatever power it is that's behind the plan,

sends to Earth certain specific souls

who are by birth more inclined

and able to be receptors

to the higher knowledge.

CHILDRESS: You have to wonder if Tesla was

transplanted to Earth by extraterrestrials

in order to envision and invent all of these amazing devices.

WILCOCK: If extraterrestrials put Tesla in place

for a specific purpose,

did they accomplish what they hoped to achieve?

The answer may be no.

Because, if Tesla's technologies

had been openly acknowledged here on Earth,

we could have greened the deserts.

We could be desalinating ocean water

with tabletop energy levels.

We could have a totally new and different world

in which we don't have to pay for energy,

in which we have antigravity craft,

in which we have teleportation technology,

and in which we truly

have become a golden age here on Earth.

That has not happened.

Although the full impact

of Nikola Tesla's incredible accomplishments

has yet to be realized, one fact seems certain.

Tesla's ideas and innovations have helped point the way

to a technological age

where everything imaginable seems possible.

But was it all part of a plan?

When Tesla claimed that he had made contact

with intelligences from beyond Earth,

could that contact have been much more profound

than he knew?

Was he given advanced scientific information

in order to help propel mankind into the future?

And if so, why?

Perhaps mankind is being slowly guided

on a predetermined path,
