1
00:00:01,914 --> 00:00:04,352
A summit
in Sri Lanka said to be a portal
2
00:00:04,482 --> 00:00:05,875
for the gods.
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,182
A volcano in Washington
4
00:00:08,312 --> 00:00:11,011
surrounded
by disc-shaped objects.
5
00:00:11,141 --> 00:00:14,405
And a mountain in New Mexico
6
00:00:14,536 --> 00:00:18,844
where otherworldly beings
are believed to reside.
7
00:00:18,975 --> 00:00:20,542
Over the years,
8
00:00:20,672 --> 00:00:23,458
Ancient Alienshas investigated
numerous peaks
9
00:00:23,588 --> 00:00:25,938
across the globe
that are rumored
10
00:00:26,069 --> 00:00:30,204
to hold a secret
extraterrestrial presence.
11
00:00:30,334 --> 00:00:33,250
Now we're going to explore
12
00:00:33,381 --> 00:00:36,210
the most extraordinary
locations.
13
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:39,952
These are the Top Ten
Mysterious Mountains
14
00:00:40,083 --> 00:00:43,652
that just might provide
undeniable proof
15
00:00:43,782 --> 00:00:46,916
of our extraterrestrial past.
16
00:00:55,272 --> 00:00:59,798
Mountains are some of the most
mysterious locations on Earth.
17
00:00:59,929 --> 00:01:02,192
Since the dawn of time,
18
00:01:02,323 --> 00:01:04,803
they have been the center
of myths and legends
19
00:01:04,934 --> 00:01:07,806
that describe
otherworldly visitations.
20
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:09,504
But what if I told you
21
00:01:09,634 --> 00:01:12,855
that mysterious lights,
strange craft
22
00:01:12,985 --> 00:01:17,120
and extraterrestrial contact
are reported even today
23
00:01:17,251 --> 00:01:19,514
around many
of these majestic peaks?
24
00:01:19,644 --> 00:01:22,865
Like the first location
on our list, which was central
25
00:01:22,995 --> 00:01:26,999
to one of the most famous
UFO sightings of all time.
26
00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:29,741
At number ten on our countdown
27
00:01:29,872 --> 00:01:34,050
of the Top Ten Mysterious
Mountains: Mount Adams.
28
00:01:37,271 --> 00:01:39,577
Towering
above Southern Washington
29
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:41,536
is Mount Adams.
30
00:01:41,666 --> 00:01:46,018
This snow-capped peak
stands over 12,000 feet tall
31
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:49,326
and has an
18-mile-wide diameter,
32
00:01:49,457 --> 00:01:53,548
making it the largest
volcano in the state.
33
00:01:53,678 --> 00:01:57,900
Today Mount Adams is well known
34
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:00,598
for its abundant hiking
trails and crystal clear lakes.
35
00:02:00,729 --> 00:02:03,601
But for ancient
astronaut theorists,
36
00:02:03,732 --> 00:02:06,778
Mount Adams is famous
for being the location
37
00:02:06,909 --> 00:02:08,693
of the first UFO sighting
38
00:02:08,824 --> 00:02:11,261
to ever make national headlines.
39
00:02:13,394 --> 00:02:17,485
On June 24, 1947,
40
00:02:17,615 --> 00:02:20,923
pilot Kenneth Arnold reported
seeing nine mysterious objects
41
00:02:21,053 --> 00:02:23,708
flying toward the mountain.
42
00:02:23,839 --> 00:02:25,710
He
suddenly caught sight
43
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:28,191
of a squadron of
strange-looking objects.
44
00:02:28,322 --> 00:02:30,237
He could not figure
out what they were.
45
00:02:30,367 --> 00:02:32,891
They were flying
at incredible speeds
46
00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:34,763
and performing maneuvers
47
00:02:34,893 --> 00:02:37,592
that essentially would
kill any regular pilot
48
00:02:37,722 --> 00:02:39,898
in a normal aircraft.
49
00:02:40,029 --> 00:02:46,035
He described
them as skipping like a saucer.
50
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:49,821
And this is really where
the term "a flying saucer"
51
00:02:49,952 --> 00:02:51,127
arrives in English language,
52
00:02:51,258 --> 00:02:53,260
is from Kenneth
Arnold's description.
53
00:02:54,478 --> 00:02:56,567
According
to Arnold's report,
54
00:02:56,698 --> 00:03:01,006
the strange craft sped past
him at 1,200 miles per hour
55
00:03:01,137 --> 00:03:05,750
and then flew directly into
Mount Adams and vanished.
56
00:03:05,881 --> 00:03:07,063
He follows them
57
00:03:07,143 --> 00:03:09,754
as they disappear
into Mount Adams,
58
00:03:09,885 --> 00:03:12,888
which is the site of many
modern UFO sightings.
59
00:03:13,018 --> 00:03:16,935
If these craft did enter
into Mount Adams,
60
00:03:17,066 --> 00:03:20,156
it would not seem
unusual to UFO experts.
61
00:03:20,287 --> 00:03:21,984
It's now common
for UFO sightings
62
00:03:22,114 --> 00:03:23,594
to take place at mountains
63
00:03:23,725 --> 00:03:26,031
and for people to
see what they describe
64
00:03:26,162 --> 00:03:29,165
as UFOs entering into mountains.
65
00:03:29,296 --> 00:03:31,472
You've got
to wonder if this mountain
66
00:03:31,602 --> 00:03:36,085
isn't some kind of
extraterrestrial base.
67
00:03:38,522 --> 00:03:42,352
The idea that extraterrestrials
are using mountains
68
00:03:42,483 --> 00:03:46,182
as hidden bases might
sound like science fiction.
69
00:03:46,313 --> 00:03:49,316
But according to one
government whistleblower,
70
00:03:49,446 --> 00:03:52,449
such a secret
compound may be located
71
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:55,539
deep inside a
mountain in New Mexico.
72
00:03:55,670 --> 00:04:00,196
At number nine on our
countdown: Mount Archuleta.
73
00:04:06,202 --> 00:04:10,337
Rising to
an elevation of 8,136 feet,
74
00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:12,034
Mount Archuleta,
75
00:04:12,164 --> 00:04:13,390
in the northern
part of the state,
76
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:16,343
stands at an
intriguing crossroads
77
00:04:16,473 --> 00:04:19,084
of folklore and the paranormal.
78
00:04:20,564 --> 00:04:23,915
On the slopes of this
imposing peak lies the town
79
00:04:24,046 --> 00:04:26,004
of Dulce, New Mexico,
80
00:04:26,135 --> 00:04:28,703
a place where both UFO sightings
81
00:04:28,833 --> 00:04:33,316
and strange animal mutilations
are frequently reported.
82
00:04:33,447 --> 00:04:35,840
Dulce, New
Mexico is a very interesting place.
83
00:04:35,971 --> 00:04:39,931
It was the scene in the
1970s of massive numbers
84
00:04:40,062 --> 00:04:42,325
of cattle mutilations.
85
00:04:42,456 --> 00:04:43,935
And you talk to
the residents there,
86
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:45,589
which I did at one point,
87
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,504
and large numbers of
people have experienced
88
00:04:47,635 --> 00:04:49,811
what anyone would
call UFO sightings.
89
00:04:53,031 --> 00:04:55,512
But what's
even more intriguing
90
00:04:55,643 --> 00:04:58,559
to ancient astronaut
theorists are rumors
91
00:04:58,689 --> 00:05:00,691
that Mount Archuleta
is the location
92
00:05:00,822 --> 00:05:03,912
of a secret subterranean
military compound
93
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:06,784
known as the Dulce
Air Force Base.
94
00:05:06,915 --> 00:05:10,092
One man who allegedly
had firsthand knowledge
95
00:05:10,222 --> 00:05:13,269
of this was geologist
Phil Schneider,
96
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,315
who claimed to have
worked on the construction
97
00:05:15,445 --> 00:05:19,362
of this underground base
for the U.S. government.
98
00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:22,365
Phil Schneider was a
very interesting geologist
99
00:05:22,496 --> 00:05:24,367
used by the U.S. government
100
00:05:24,498 --> 00:05:26,848
to do excavations of large areas
101
00:05:26,978 --> 00:05:28,893
under military contract,
102
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:30,330
where they were
essentially going
103
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:31,853
to be building large caverns
104
00:05:31,983 --> 00:05:35,335
and connecting
underground passageways.
105
00:05:35,465 --> 00:05:38,076
Part of what I'm going
106
00:05:38,207 --> 00:05:40,122
to tell you is going
to be very shocking.
107
00:05:40,252 --> 00:05:43,778
On May 8, 1995,
108
00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:46,824
Schneider gave a
presentation in Post Falls, Idaho
109
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,479
and claimed he was attacked
110
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:51,525
by extraterrestrials
deep underground.
111
00:05:54,658 --> 00:05:58,706
I was involved in 1979
in a horrendous firefight
112
00:05:58,836 --> 00:06:03,145
with alien-human type,
whatever you want to call them.
113
00:06:03,275 --> 00:06:06,583
And, I was
one of the survivors.
114
00:06:06,714 --> 00:06:10,326
Basically, what had occurred was
115
00:06:10,457 --> 00:06:13,285
that we surprised a whole
116
00:06:13,416 --> 00:06:15,984
under-mountain
base of existing aliens.
117
00:06:17,246 --> 00:06:19,335
Is it possible
118
00:06:19,466 --> 00:06:22,294
that an extraterrestrial
base can be found hidden
119
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:24,384
within Mount Archuleta?
120
00:06:24,514 --> 00:06:27,299
Perhaps further
clues can be found
121
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:31,129
within the oral traditions
of the Jicarilla Apache tribe,
122
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:33,262
who have lived in the
shadow of this peak
123
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,525
for more than six centuries.
124
00:06:36,787 --> 00:06:38,746
Archuleta
Peak is an important part
125
00:06:38,876 --> 00:06:41,836
of the Jicarilla
Apache Reservation.
126
00:06:41,966 --> 00:06:45,056
And the Apaches
themselves have had legends
127
00:06:45,187 --> 00:06:48,930
for hundreds of
years of UFO activity
128
00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:51,933
and star people coming down.
129
00:06:54,979 --> 00:06:57,547
Could it
be that the oral traditions
130
00:06:57,678 --> 00:07:01,551
of the Jicarilla Apache are
describing ancient contact
131
00:07:01,682 --> 00:07:04,032
with otherworldly visitors?
132
00:07:04,162 --> 00:07:05,860
And if so,
133
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:08,602
does an extraterrestrial
presence still reside
134
00:07:08,732 --> 00:07:10,995
in the area to this day?
135
00:07:11,126 --> 00:07:13,737
Part of
the Navajo Nation resides
136
00:07:13,868 --> 00:07:16,697
right near that
Archuleta Mesa, and...
137
00:07:16,827 --> 00:07:20,570
we, as a department,
officially investigated
138
00:07:20,701 --> 00:07:24,400
these craft going
into volcanic vents,
139
00:07:24,531 --> 00:07:27,185
cinder hills, basalt rock,
140
00:07:27,316 --> 00:07:29,361
and disappearing in there.
141
00:07:29,492 --> 00:07:31,886
We don't have an
explanation for it.
142
00:07:33,975 --> 00:07:37,761
In Northern Arizona stands
one of most sacred mountains
143
00:07:37,892 --> 00:07:39,720
to the native Hopi people.
144
00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:41,765
According to their mythology,
145
00:07:41,896 --> 00:07:43,985
this peak was the
site where a group
146
00:07:44,115 --> 00:07:48,076
of mysterious humanoid
beings descended from the sky.
147
00:07:48,206 --> 00:07:51,732
The Black Mesa.
148
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:58,129
High above
the desert in Northern Arizona
149
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:00,305
stands the Black Mesa.
150
00:08:00,436 --> 00:08:03,047
The mountain encompasses more
151
00:08:03,178 --> 00:08:05,572
than two and a
half million acres,
152
00:08:05,702 --> 00:08:09,184
and has been home to the Hopi
tribe for more than 1,000 years.
153
00:08:09,314 --> 00:08:11,142
The Black Mesa
154
00:08:11,273 --> 00:08:14,668
is an elevated,
bowl-shaped structure
155
00:08:14,798 --> 00:08:16,887
that is about
4,000 square miles.
156
00:08:17,018 --> 00:08:18,846
So, it's really quite large.
157
00:08:18,976 --> 00:08:21,544
And the Black Mesa is
considered the most sacred place
158
00:08:21,675 --> 00:08:23,111
to the Hopi.
159
00:08:24,329 --> 00:08:25,940
According to the Hopi,
160
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:28,725
the Black Mesa is a landing site
161
00:08:28,856 --> 00:08:32,076
for sky beings they
call "the Kachinas."
162
00:08:32,207 --> 00:08:36,472
The Kachinas,
in Hopi tradition,
163
00:08:36,603 --> 00:08:39,606
are related to the,
star people.
164
00:08:40,998 --> 00:08:45,350
All Native American tribes have
these traditional oral histories
165
00:08:45,481 --> 00:08:48,310
that people came from
the stars to visit them.
166
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,356
It's universal, all
across the United States,
167
00:08:51,487 --> 00:08:55,056
that these gods, as
we call them today,
168
00:08:55,186 --> 00:08:57,754
came to Earth and visited
169
00:08:57,885 --> 00:09:00,191
to provide knowledge.
170
00:09:00,322 --> 00:09:02,933
The
Hopi themselves speak
171
00:09:03,064 --> 00:09:05,327
that the Kachinas
descended from the sky
172
00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:10,288
in physical form and
imparted knowledge.
173
00:09:10,419 --> 00:09:12,987
This happened at the Black Mesa.
174
00:09:13,117 --> 00:09:15,293
So, you have to ask
yourself the question,
175
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:18,558
could it be that
physical extraterrestrials
176
00:09:18,688 --> 00:09:20,211
descended from the sky?
177
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:23,432
Is it possible
178
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,956
that otherworldly visitors
landed on Black Mesa
179
00:09:26,087 --> 00:09:28,219
in the distant past?
180
00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:30,178
Curiously,
181
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:32,223
nearly identical
stories are found
182
00:09:32,354 --> 00:09:35,226
in the mythologies of other
Native American people
183
00:09:35,357 --> 00:09:37,533
from the region.
184
00:09:37,664 --> 00:09:42,103
Black Mesa is not
only holy to the Hopi people,
185
00:09:42,233 --> 00:09:44,061
it's holy to the Navajos.
186
00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:47,456
Both tribes have said
187
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:50,633
that star people have
come to them in the past.
188
00:09:50,764 --> 00:09:53,201
It just can't be
discounted as myth.
189
00:09:53,331 --> 00:09:56,987
The story of
strange, humanoid beings
190
00:09:57,118 --> 00:09:58,946
descending from the
stars at Black Mesa
191
00:09:59,076 --> 00:10:01,296
is not only a
central part of Hopi
192
00:10:01,426 --> 00:10:03,733
and Navajo oral traditions,
193
00:10:03,864 --> 00:10:06,562
but these encounters
were so significant,
194
00:10:06,693 --> 00:10:09,086
they were carved in stone.
195
00:10:09,217 --> 00:10:12,699
I believe that these
visitations have been documented
196
00:10:12,829 --> 00:10:16,703
in pictographs and petroglyphs.
197
00:10:16,833 --> 00:10:19,836
They're not art,
actually, for art's sake.
198
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:22,883
The petroglyphs have
been done this way
199
00:10:23,013 --> 00:10:26,060
for basically
thousands of years.
200
00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:28,584
The Navajos and Hopis
are constantly talking
201
00:10:28,715 --> 00:10:31,848
about UFOs hovering
over Northern Arizona.
202
00:10:31,979 --> 00:10:34,808
So you have to ask yourself,
203
00:10:34,938 --> 00:10:37,767
is the Black Mesa a place
204
00:10:37,898 --> 00:10:40,335
where the star
people are ascending
205
00:10:40,465 --> 00:10:42,642
and descending to Earth?
206
00:10:42,772 --> 00:10:44,644
It seems to be the case.
207
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:54,392
In Southern France, there
is a peak that is so unusual,
208
00:10:54,523 --> 00:10:56,133
it is known as
209
00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:57,918
the "upside down mountain."
210
00:10:58,048 --> 00:10:59,920
But what ancient
astronaut theorists
211
00:11:00,050 --> 00:11:02,400
like me find most interesting is
212
00:11:02,531 --> 00:11:07,014
that its unique geology
is said to attract UFOs.
213
00:11:07,144 --> 00:11:09,451
At number seven on our countdown
214
00:11:09,581 --> 00:11:14,674
of the Top Ten Mysterious
Mountains: Mount Bugarach.
215
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,857
In the foothills
of the Pyrenees looms one
216
00:11:23,987 --> 00:11:26,163
of the most unusual
geological formations
217
00:11:26,294 --> 00:11:28,600
on the planet...
218
00:11:28,731 --> 00:11:30,690
Mount Bugarach.
219
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:34,868
Rising to an elevation
of just over 4,000 feet,
220
00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:39,568
its jagged facade continues
to fascinate geologists.
221
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:43,180
Bugarach has
some very unusual geology.
222
00:11:43,311 --> 00:11:45,748
The strata at the
top of the mountain
223
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,229
is actually millions
of years older
224
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:50,274
than the strata at the
bottom of the mountain.
225
00:11:50,405 --> 00:11:53,321
It's as if the mountain
was somehow picked up
226
00:11:53,451 --> 00:11:56,019
and flipped over on its head.
227
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:57,978
It's sometimes referred to
228
00:11:58,108 --> 00:11:59,675
as an "upside down mountain."
229
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:01,242
What does that mean?
230
00:12:01,372 --> 00:12:03,592
Literally, at the
top of the mountain,
231
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:06,682
you have older rocks than
the base of the mountain.
232
00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:08,815
So, this is a very
interesting thing,
233
00:12:08,945 --> 00:12:13,558
and it's brought on, for some
people, mystical connotations.
234
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:17,824
One unusual
phenomenon that continues
235
00:12:17,954 --> 00:12:21,392
to attract visitors
to Mount Bugarach
236
00:12:21,523 --> 00:12:23,568
is the regular appearance
of mysterious lights
237
00:12:23,699 --> 00:12:26,093
and strange orbs.
238
00:12:26,223 --> 00:12:29,749
Bugarach is the sight
of many modern UFO sightings.
239
00:12:31,141 --> 00:12:33,100
People maintain they
see mysterious lights,
240
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:36,146
orbs of light that are also
241
00:12:36,277 --> 00:12:38,496
intelligently directed
and have the sense
242
00:12:38,627 --> 00:12:40,542
that they're coming
from somewhere else.
243
00:12:41,848 --> 00:12:44,633
In addition
to its peculiar geology,
244
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:46,766
the mountain is honeycombed
245
00:12:46,896 --> 00:12:49,290
with a network of
underground tunnels.
246
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:53,555
All throughout
the mountain is a vast labyrinth
247
00:12:53,685 --> 00:12:56,340
of limestone caves.
248
00:12:56,471 --> 00:13:00,040
These limestone caves have
led a number of people to believe
249
00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:03,652
that this is actually
some kind of alien base.
250
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:08,396
That extraterrestrials are
living inside the mountain,
251
00:13:08,526 --> 00:13:12,008
and in fact, they've been living
there for thousands of years.
252
00:13:13,314 --> 00:13:15,838
Over the centuries,
the mysterious phenomena
253
00:13:15,969 --> 00:13:21,104
at Mount Bugarach have led many
to consider the mountain sacred.
254
00:13:21,235 --> 00:13:23,803
Bugarach
has been known as a holy mountain
255
00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:27,589
since time immemorial
in this part of France.
256
00:13:27,719 --> 00:13:30,722
There is something truly
magnetic about this mountain
257
00:13:30,853 --> 00:13:33,464
that is bringing people
to come and watch it.
258
00:13:33,595 --> 00:13:35,553
Is it possible
259
00:13:35,684 --> 00:13:37,642
that extraterrestrials
are living
260
00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:40,384
inside a mountain in France?
261
00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:44,824
And if so, might there
be other similar mountains
262
00:13:44,954 --> 00:13:48,523
secretly housing
otherworldly civilizations?
263
00:13:49,785 --> 00:13:53,484
For ancient astronaut
theorists, it's a distinct possibility.
264
00:13:54,877 --> 00:13:56,997
Throughout the
world, we find myths and legends
265
00:13:57,097 --> 00:13:58,663
of sacred mountains
266
00:13:58,794 --> 00:14:01,579
that are not only landing places
267
00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:04,321
where the gods or
star beings descended,
268
00:14:04,452 --> 00:14:06,541
but also places that became
269
00:14:06,671 --> 00:14:09,457
known as the heavenly
sanctuary on Earth.
270
00:14:09,587 --> 00:14:13,765
And humans have been attracted,
almost magnetically attracted,
271
00:14:13,896 --> 00:14:16,551
to these places since the
beginning of recorded history.
272
00:14:17,813 --> 00:14:19,597
And it seems that
there's a direct connection
273
00:14:19,728 --> 00:14:21,469
between sacred mountains
274
00:14:21,599 --> 00:14:24,733
and extraterrestrial
beings coming to Earth.
275
00:14:28,084 --> 00:14:30,347
One of the most
mysterious mountains
276
00:14:30,478 --> 00:14:33,307
on Earth can be found
in Northern California.
277
00:14:33,437 --> 00:14:36,658
It's said to have been
inhabited by otherworldly beings
278
00:14:36,788 --> 00:14:39,356
for thousands of
years, and today,
279
00:14:39,487 --> 00:14:43,317
it is one of the busiest
UFO hot spots on the planet.
280
00:14:43,447 --> 00:14:47,756
At number six on our
countdown: Mount Shasta.
281
00:14:53,022 --> 00:14:55,807
Towering over
the landscape at an elevation
282
00:14:55,938 --> 00:14:59,899
of over 14,000 feet,
stands Mount Shasta.
283
00:15:00,029 --> 00:15:03,424
This dormant volcano has stood
284
00:15:03,554 --> 00:15:07,080
at the heart of mysterious
legends for thousands of years.
285
00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:11,301
The local
Native Americans have always felt
286
00:15:11,432 --> 00:15:13,477
there was something
special about Mount Shasta.
287
00:15:13,608 --> 00:15:15,697
It was thought
288
00:15:15,827 --> 00:15:18,569
that humankind
actually originated
289
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:20,223
from within Mount Shasta.
290
00:15:22,225 --> 00:15:24,575
The local people believe
291
00:15:24,706 --> 00:15:26,360
that in ancient times,
292
00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:29,711
the great Sky Chief Skell came
293
00:15:29,841 --> 00:15:32,757
down from the sky
to live in Shasta,
294
00:15:32,888 --> 00:15:35,456
and has been there
ever since and protects it.
295
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,677
Not only
do the native people say
296
00:15:39,808 --> 00:15:43,159
that Mount Shasta was a
place of otherworldly visitation
297
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:45,205
in the distant past,
298
00:15:45,335 --> 00:15:49,078
but sightings of strange
lights and UFOs continue
299
00:15:49,209 --> 00:15:51,602
to be reported
there to this very day.
300
00:15:52,864 --> 00:15:55,171
Over the years,
there have been a number
301
00:15:55,302 --> 00:15:57,608
of very significant
UFO sightings
302
00:15:57,739 --> 00:15:59,393
around Mount Shasta,
303
00:15:59,523 --> 00:16:02,135
and you have to wonder,
why is that the case?
304
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:05,747
I don't think we
can rule out the idea
305
00:16:05,877 --> 00:16:08,706
of some sort of
permanent presence
306
00:16:08,837 --> 00:16:10,839
buried deep within
Mount Shasta itself.
307
00:16:12,101 --> 00:16:14,060
JACK "WALKING EAGLE"
THOM: I was driving back
308
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:17,541
from Klamath Falls, around 6:30, 7:00 in the evening
309
00:16:17,672 --> 00:16:19,630
in the summertime.
310
00:16:19,761 --> 00:16:21,378
All of a sudden, I looked
up on the mountain,
311
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,504
and I seen the whole mountain
312
00:16:23,634 --> 00:16:26,333
toward Yreka side open up.
313
00:16:27,682 --> 00:16:29,945
And then this big ship
came and sat there
314
00:16:30,076 --> 00:16:32,817
and hovered for a minute
and then went right in.
315
00:16:32,948 --> 00:16:37,474
The mountain closed, and I
was like, "What is going on?"
316
00:16:37,605 --> 00:16:39,476
I never let things like
that bother me now.
317
00:16:39,607 --> 00:16:42,175
But I've seen things
like that all the time.
318
00:16:43,828 --> 00:16:45,917
Some of the
legends around Mount Shasta
319
00:16:46,048 --> 00:16:50,183
detail these beings that are
believed to live underground
320
00:16:50,313 --> 00:16:54,361
in tunnels and entry points
situated around Mount Shasta
321
00:16:54,491 --> 00:16:56,276
that are portals
322
00:16:56,406 --> 00:16:58,191
that these beings are
going to come through.
323
00:17:01,107 --> 00:17:02,804
It's down this path here.
324
00:17:02,934 --> 00:17:05,633
In November 2020,
325
00:17:05,763 --> 00:17:07,939
author and researcher
William Henry,
326
00:17:08,070 --> 00:17:10,768
along with local
historian Dustin Naef...
327
00:17:10,899 --> 00:17:12,857
That is just spectacular.
328
00:17:12,988 --> 00:17:15,382
Set out to
explore one of the many tunnels
329
00:17:15,512 --> 00:17:17,297
on the slopes of Mount Shasta.
330
00:17:17,427 --> 00:17:19,168
Check it out, man.
331
00:17:20,430 --> 00:17:22,345
This
cave is known as a spot
332
00:17:22,476 --> 00:17:25,392
where mysterious beings
are frequently seen emerging
333
00:17:25,522 --> 00:17:28,134
from inside the mountain.
334
00:17:28,264 --> 00:17:30,266
Look at that, Dustin.
That's awesome.
335
00:17:30,397 --> 00:17:32,138
Absolutely incredible.
336
00:17:32,268 --> 00:17:35,880
There's a really big
subculture here in Mount Shasta
337
00:17:36,011 --> 00:17:38,057
that has always
believed that these caves
338
00:17:38,187 --> 00:17:41,625
and tunnels
contain a civilization
339
00:17:41,756 --> 00:17:43,845
full of people just like you and I.
340
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:45,890
And they come back and forth
341
00:17:46,021 --> 00:17:48,154
through portals
hidden in these caves.
342
00:17:48,284 --> 00:17:50,721
If you look on the USGS charts,
343
00:17:50,852 --> 00:17:53,202
there's an immense
negative magnetic anomaly
344
00:17:53,333 --> 00:17:55,248
that surrounds Mount Shasta.
345
00:17:55,378 --> 00:17:56,517
That's the ley line
they describe here, right?
346
00:17:56,597 --> 00:17:57,902
Yeah, a lot of psychic
347
00:17:58,033 --> 00:18:00,818
and paranormal
phenomena actually occurs
348
00:18:00,949 --> 00:18:02,907
in places that have
magnetic anomalies.
349
00:18:03,038 --> 00:18:05,736
And used as a... as a portal
350
00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:08,174
between the inner Earth
realm and the stars?
351
00:18:08,304 --> 00:18:10,350
Yeah.
352
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,439
Anything capable of
generating, you know,
353
00:18:12,569 --> 00:18:16,660
energy like that could be
conceptualized as a portal.
354
00:18:16,791 --> 00:18:19,881
I've had people actually
contact me and tell me
355
00:18:20,011 --> 00:18:22,449
they've seen people
in this very cave
356
00:18:22,579 --> 00:18:24,625
walk right into a
wall and vanish.
357
00:18:24,755 --> 00:18:27,280
Wow.
358
00:18:27,410 --> 00:18:29,282
At Mount Shasta,
359
00:18:29,412 --> 00:18:32,894
UFOs seem to manifest
out of the mountain.
360
00:18:33,024 --> 00:18:36,550
They appear, they travel,
and then they disappear.
361
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,813
And this would seem to have led
362
00:18:38,943 --> 00:18:41,163
to the belief that
there might be
363
00:18:41,294 --> 00:18:44,427
some kind of secret alien base
364
00:18:44,558 --> 00:18:47,648
actually deep
within that mountain.
365
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:55,830
We're coming up
on the halfway point
366
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,571
on our countdown
367
00:18:57,701 --> 00:19:00,051
of the Top Ten
Mysterious Mountains.
368
00:19:00,182 --> 00:19:02,141
Our next location can be found
369
00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:04,795
in my ancestral
homeland of Greece.
370
00:19:04,926 --> 00:19:08,190
It's a cloud-covered peak
that for thousands of years
371
00:19:08,321 --> 00:19:10,888
has been called the
"home of the gods."
372
00:19:11,193 --> 00:19:14,109
Mount Olympus.
373
00:19:19,419 --> 00:19:21,812
Towering above
the surrounding landscape
374
00:19:21,943 --> 00:19:24,163
stands Mount Olympus.
375
00:19:24,293 --> 00:19:28,428
This imposing rock
massif rises to an elevation
376
00:19:28,558 --> 00:19:31,387
of 9,570 feet,
377
00:19:31,518 --> 00:19:33,607
and is the highest
summit in Greece.
378
00:19:33,737 --> 00:19:36,871
Frequently shrouded in clouds,
379
00:19:37,001 --> 00:19:40,744
its peak has mystified
people since antiquity.
380
00:19:40,875 --> 00:19:43,443
According to myth, it
was the chosen home
381
00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:47,838
of immortal deities
known as the "Olympians."
382
00:19:47,969 --> 00:19:51,233
Mount Olympus
hides a particularly mysterious abode
383
00:19:51,364 --> 00:19:53,670
where the gods live
384
00:19:53,801 --> 00:19:58,109
in perfect, immortal repose
for all of their existence.
385
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,417
Because it is so high,
it's ringed in clouds.
386
00:20:01,548 --> 00:20:04,028
And so, that's
where the gods live
387
00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:05,639
that you are not allowed to see.
388
00:20:07,118 --> 00:20:08,946
The gods
in the Greek mythology
389
00:20:09,077 --> 00:20:11,949
are all very, very
human in their attributes.
390
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,300
The Greek gods
are... are jealous.
391
00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:16,171
They're angry,
they're passionate.
392
00:20:16,302 --> 00:20:17,788
They hate each other,
they love each other.
393
00:20:17,868 --> 00:20:20,958
There's nothing entirely
divine about them
394
00:20:21,089 --> 00:20:22,917
other than they
have specific powers.
395
00:20:24,135 --> 00:20:25,659
In the Greek myths,
396
00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:28,705
the powers of the gods
often come in the forms
397
00:20:28,836 --> 00:20:31,360
of magical devices, weapons
398
00:20:31,491 --> 00:20:33,884
and flying machines.
399
00:20:34,015 --> 00:20:38,149
Many of these are associated
with Mount Olympus.
400
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,108
Mount
Olympus is fascinating.
401
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:42,241
It was a technology center.
402
00:20:42,371 --> 00:20:44,286
You had Hephaestus
there, the Greek god
403
00:20:44,417 --> 00:20:47,246
of smithcraft, alchemy
and technology.
404
00:20:47,376 --> 00:20:49,900
He was developing
the thunderbolt of Zeus,
405
00:20:50,031 --> 00:20:51,902
the chains of Prometheus,
406
00:20:52,033 --> 00:20:53,861
the breastplate of Athena
407
00:20:53,991 --> 00:20:56,385
and all these magical weapons.
408
00:20:56,516 --> 00:20:59,997
It sounds very much like some
kind of a military compound.
409
00:21:00,128 --> 00:21:02,783
The Olympian gods
warred amongst each other.
410
00:21:02,913 --> 00:21:05,525
They warred against humans.
They lusted after humans.
411
00:21:05,655 --> 00:21:07,614
That opens up the possibility
412
00:21:07,744 --> 00:21:12,009
that they were, in fact,
flesh-and-blood beings.
413
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:14,316
The basic premise of the
ancient astronaut theory is
414
00:21:14,447 --> 00:21:17,450
that the Greek
pantheon of gods existed
415
00:21:17,580 --> 00:21:20,844
in real life, made
of physical beings.
416
00:21:20,975 --> 00:21:25,109
But they were not gods
as we think of them today.
417
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,591
Our ancestors
thought they were gods.
418
00:21:28,722 --> 00:21:32,029
They misinterpreted
that they were gods.
419
00:21:33,204 --> 00:21:34,728
Why?
420
00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:38,166
Because they
descended from the sky.
421
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:44,868
Could the myths
of ancient Greece be true?
422
00:21:44,999 --> 00:21:46,957
Was Mount Olympus an advanced
423
00:21:47,088 --> 00:21:49,656
technological
outpost that was home
424
00:21:49,786 --> 00:21:51,832
to otherworldly beings?
425
00:21:51,962 --> 00:21:55,096
Mount
Olympus is pretty curious.
426
00:21:55,226 --> 00:21:56,880
The gods live there.
427
00:21:57,011 --> 00:21:59,927
Their airships and superpowers
428
00:22:00,057 --> 00:22:02,582
and superweapons
are also in this mountain.
429
00:22:02,712 --> 00:22:05,454
For
ancient astronaut theorists,
430
00:22:05,585 --> 00:22:07,543
the descriptions
of Mount Olympus
431
00:22:07,674 --> 00:22:10,024
bring to mind military bases
432
00:22:10,154 --> 00:22:14,158
that have been built inside
mountains in modern times.
433
00:22:14,289 --> 00:22:16,378
We have
Cheyenne Mountain
434
00:22:16,509 --> 00:22:18,249
outside of Colorado Springs.
435
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,035
This is a military base.
436
00:22:21,165 --> 00:22:24,125
It, too, is a mountain.
437
00:22:24,255 --> 00:22:26,867
It's hollowed out,
there's a city inside it.
438
00:22:26,997 --> 00:22:30,653
There's elevators and trains and
439
00:22:30,784 --> 00:22:34,004
banks of computers, and
people are living there.
440
00:22:34,135 --> 00:22:37,965
So how about Mount Olympus
as something very similar?
441
00:22:38,095 --> 00:22:39,793
An extraterrestrial,
442
00:22:39,923 --> 00:22:42,404
ancient mountain base
443
00:22:42,535 --> 00:22:45,668
that they were using in
Greece and other areas.
444
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:52,849
1,000 miles southeast of
Mount Olympus is another peak
445
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:56,549
that was said to be
home to a powerful being.
446
00:22:56,679 --> 00:22:59,378
And according to the
Bible, it's the location
447
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:03,643
of a profound encounter
that changed human history.
448
00:23:05,601 --> 00:23:09,736
At number four on our
countdown: Mount Sinai.
449
00:23:15,002 --> 00:23:16,917
Here,
overlooking the desert,
450
00:23:17,047 --> 00:23:20,094
stands the rugged
peak of Mount Sinai...
451
00:23:20,224 --> 00:23:22,488
one of the most significant
mountains in history.
452
00:23:23,706 --> 00:23:27,406
According to the
Bible's Book of Exodus,
453
00:23:27,536 --> 00:23:30,104
God led Moses and
the Israelites here
454
00:23:30,234 --> 00:23:32,585
after they were
released by Pharoah.
455
00:23:34,108 --> 00:23:35,551
Their route to the
mountain was marked
456
00:23:35,631 --> 00:23:38,286
by a mysterious
light in the sky.
457
00:23:39,809 --> 00:23:43,683
In Exodus, Chapter 13,
verses 21 and 22, it says,
458
00:23:43,813 --> 00:23:47,426
"The Lord went before them
by day in a pillar of cloud...
459
00:23:47,556 --> 00:23:49,558
"and by night
in a pillar of fire.
460
00:23:49,689 --> 00:23:53,388
The pillar did not depart
from before the people."
461
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,347
Meaning that it
was always there.
462
00:23:56,478 --> 00:23:58,654
They were met by
463
00:23:58,785 --> 00:24:00,830
what I would call
a biblical UFO.
464
00:24:02,136 --> 00:24:05,269
Moses
receives a message from God
465
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,358
that he is going to land
466
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:09,317
on Mount Sinai.
467
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:12,320
So he gathers the nation of
Israel around the mountain.
468
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:16,585
This huge, bright, glowing
cloud lands on Mount Sinai.
469
00:24:18,413 --> 00:24:20,023
And the Jewish
people are told to stay
470
00:24:20,154 --> 00:24:21,372
at the bottom of Mount Sinai.
471
00:24:21,503 --> 00:24:24,854
But Moses is authorized,
472
00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:27,204
and you might
even say protected,
473
00:24:27,335 --> 00:24:29,076
by the pillar of
cloud and of fire
474
00:24:29,206 --> 00:24:32,340
so that he can go up there
and everybody else can't.
475
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,128
According
to the biblical texts,
476
00:24:38,259 --> 00:24:42,350
Moses ascends the mountain
and enters the glowing cloud.
477
00:24:43,656 --> 00:24:46,789
There he communes
with Almighty God.
478
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,748
After 40 days,
479
00:24:48,878 --> 00:24:53,361
he returns, carrying
the Ten Commandments.
480
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:56,277
According to ancient
rabbinical texts,
481
00:24:56,407 --> 00:24:59,193
these tablets had a
very unusual appearance.
482
00:25:01,064 --> 00:25:02,943
According to our ancient legend,
483
00:25:03,023 --> 00:25:04,764
we know that when
Moses brought down
484
00:25:04,894 --> 00:25:07,680
the original Ten Commandments,
485
00:25:07,810 --> 00:25:09,856
they were not
like what we think.
486
00:25:10,987 --> 00:25:12,641
It states
487
00:25:12,772 --> 00:25:17,907
that the letters actually
hovered upon the stones.
488
00:25:18,038 --> 00:25:20,954
And that they were
alive, energetic.
489
00:25:21,084 --> 00:25:24,392
And that indicates
to us some type
490
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:27,961
of an actual
technological transmission
491
00:25:28,091 --> 00:25:30,964
the likes of which
we do not know.
492
00:25:32,748 --> 00:25:35,272
Could Mount
Sinai have been the site
493
00:25:35,403 --> 00:25:38,362
of a biblical
extraterrestrial encounter?
494
00:25:38,493 --> 00:25:41,757
Ancient astronaut
theorists say "yes,"
495
00:25:41,888 --> 00:25:44,194
and point to rabbinical texts
496
00:25:44,325 --> 00:25:47,284
that shed more light on
what Moses experienced
497
00:25:47,415 --> 00:25:49,286
on the summit of Mount Sinai.
498
00:25:49,417 --> 00:25:50,766
There's a very
499
00:25:50,897 --> 00:25:53,726
ancient legend which speaks
500
00:25:53,856 --> 00:25:57,164
that the cloud came down
from heaven to take Moses up.
501
00:25:57,294 --> 00:26:00,167
And a door opened in the cloud,
502
00:26:00,297 --> 00:26:02,909
and Moses walked in the door,
503
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,085
and he physically ascended
504
00:26:05,215 --> 00:26:08,741
to some place off this Earth.
505
00:26:08,871 --> 00:26:11,265
In light of our modern
understandings,
506
00:26:11,395 --> 00:26:13,441
it sounds like the
cloud was some type
507
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:16,096
of a transportational device.
508
00:26:22,450 --> 00:26:24,974
When it comes to
mysterious mountains,
509
00:26:25,105 --> 00:26:27,673
one of the most
extraordinary can be found
510
00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:29,370
on the islands of Japan.
511
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,459
According to local legends,
512
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:36,116
there is a snow-capped peak
inhabited by powerful creatures
513
00:26:36,246 --> 00:26:38,771
that are half bird
and half human.
514
00:26:38,901 --> 00:26:42,296
And some people still report
seeing them even today.
515
00:26:42,426 --> 00:26:45,299
At number three on our countdown
516
00:26:45,429 --> 00:26:50,086
of the Top Ten Mysterious
Mountains: Mount Ishizuchi.
517
00:26:52,436 --> 00:26:54,613
Shikoku, Japan.
518
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,226
Here, towering over
this ancient island,
519
00:26:59,356 --> 00:27:01,620
is Mount Ishizuchi,
520
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:04,884
one of the nation's
most revered mountains.
521
00:27:06,189 --> 00:27:10,759
Mount Ishizuchi
in Japan is about 6,500 feet.
522
00:27:10,890 --> 00:27:13,632
It's one of the sacred
mountains of Japan.
523
00:27:13,762 --> 00:27:15,459
It's sacred to the Shinto,
524
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:17,853
and also Buddhist religions.
525
00:27:17,984 --> 00:27:20,551
The summit actually
looks like a hammer.
526
00:27:20,682 --> 00:27:22,858
And it's called "Tengu-dake,"
527
00:27:22,989 --> 00:27:25,861
and "tengu,"
apparently, is referring
528
00:27:25,992 --> 00:27:28,777
to these supernatural
demons living there.
529
00:27:29,952 --> 00:27:31,867
In Japan, there is a belief
530
00:27:31,998 --> 00:27:35,828
that the mountains there
hold a kind of strange being
531
00:27:35,958 --> 00:27:37,568
called a "tengu,"
532
00:27:37,699 --> 00:27:41,572
who is a half-man,
a half-bird type being
533
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:46,447
with a bright visage,
and he has wings.
534
00:27:46,577 --> 00:27:50,320
Many Japanese hikers
are afraid of these tengu.
535
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,934
These are
fierce, bird-like creatures.
536
00:27:55,064 --> 00:27:56,762
They are frightening to look at.
537
00:27:56,892 --> 00:27:59,634
They've got sharp teeth,
538
00:27:59,765 --> 00:28:02,550
feathers, of course,
and shimmering wings.
539
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:04,857
They've got claws and beaks,
540
00:28:04,987 --> 00:28:07,729
and yet, they are persons.
541
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:10,471
They are somewhere
between a bird
542
00:28:10,601 --> 00:28:13,953
and a person, but in
a very frightening form.
543
00:28:15,258 --> 00:28:18,827
Later portrayals,
the beak becomes a long nose.
544
00:28:18,958 --> 00:28:22,831
So modern tengu masks
are bright red with a long nose,
545
00:28:22,962 --> 00:28:25,442
demon-like eyes, and then,
546
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:28,271
a Shugendo hat on the forehead.
547
00:28:29,577 --> 00:28:32,667
The karasu tengu,
which translates as "crow tengu,"
548
00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:36,149
are born out of
these giant eggs.
549
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,325
And these creatures
are typically
550
00:28:38,455 --> 00:28:41,894
very mischievous and even
malevolent towards humans.
551
00:28:42,024 --> 00:28:44,070
They like to play
tricks on them.
552
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,508
They like to make them
lose their way in the mountain.
553
00:28:47,638 --> 00:28:50,729
They often kidnap
people, as well.
554
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:56,822
One story about tengu
concerns Mount Ishizuchi.
555
00:28:56,952 --> 00:28:59,650
A six-year-old boy went missing
556
00:28:59,781 --> 00:29:02,218
at the top of the
mountain... Tengu Peak.
557
00:29:02,349 --> 00:29:04,394
And there was an
exhaustive search for him.
558
00:29:04,525 --> 00:29:06,353
Nothing turned up.
559
00:29:06,483 --> 00:29:10,226
So, the search team was
forced just to return home.
560
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:12,185
And when they arrived home,
561
00:29:12,315 --> 00:29:14,622
of course, the
six-year-old boy was there.
562
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:16,580
Now, they asked him
what had happened.
563
00:29:16,711 --> 00:29:19,105
He said that he
had left the trail,
564
00:29:19,235 --> 00:29:22,891
and that an all-black
humanlike figure
565
00:29:23,022 --> 00:29:25,067
from behind said, "If you
are lost, I will help you.
566
00:29:25,198 --> 00:29:27,113
Close your eyes."
567
00:29:27,243 --> 00:29:31,421
And the next thing he knew, he
was back home safe and sound.
568
00:29:32,727 --> 00:29:34,860
Japanese
belief in the tengu dates back
569
00:29:34,990 --> 00:29:37,645
at least 1,300 years.
570
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:42,693
And while they are strongly
associated with Mount Ishizuchi,
571
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:45,740
the tengu are thought
to inhabit other mountains
572
00:29:45,871 --> 00:29:48,308
throughout Japan, as well.
573
00:29:48,438 --> 00:29:52,225
But what's most interesting
to ancient astronaut theorists
574
00:29:52,355 --> 00:29:54,227
is that nearly identical stories
575
00:29:54,357 --> 00:29:57,273
of winged birdmen,
like the tengu,
576
00:29:57,404 --> 00:30:00,799
can be found in historical
accounts across the globe.
577
00:30:01,974 --> 00:30:03,453
All over the world,
578
00:30:03,584 --> 00:30:05,201
we have stories of
what we call "bird-men,"
579
00:30:05,281 --> 00:30:06,892
like the tengu.
580
00:30:07,022 --> 00:30:08,241
And these are men
581
00:30:08,371 --> 00:30:10,069
that are often depicted
582
00:30:10,199 --> 00:30:13,899
with wings on their
backs, they're able to fly.
583
00:30:14,029 --> 00:30:16,162
And you have to wonder
584
00:30:16,292 --> 00:30:19,513
if really these aren't some
kind of extraterrestrials,
585
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:22,298
and that the wings
are purely symbolic.
586
00:30:22,429 --> 00:30:24,648
But they're called
"bird-men" and have wings
587
00:30:24,779 --> 00:30:27,216
because they can fly.
588
00:30:27,347 --> 00:30:30,393
They can fly in
their spaceships.
589
00:30:30,524 --> 00:30:32,221
It
makes perfect sense
590
00:30:32,352 --> 00:30:35,529
to me that if extraterrestrials
were to visit Earth,
591
00:30:35,659 --> 00:30:38,271
they would set up their camps
592
00:30:38,401 --> 00:30:39,925
somewhere out of sight,
593
00:30:40,055 --> 00:30:43,058
like high mountains in Japan,
594
00:30:43,189 --> 00:30:47,802
to remain undetected
by local populations
595
00:30:47,933 --> 00:30:51,762
so that they could make
only contact with those people
596
00:30:51,893 --> 00:30:54,374
in that population
that they have chosen.
597
00:31:00,380 --> 00:31:01,947
One of the strangest mountains
598
00:31:02,077 --> 00:31:04,253
on Earth can be
found in Sri Lanka.
599
00:31:04,384 --> 00:31:06,342
Rising above the jungle
600
00:31:06,473 --> 00:31:09,389
is a summit that is
almost a perfect circle.
601
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:11,957
And according to
ancient Sanskrit texts,
602
00:31:12,087 --> 00:31:15,351
this peak is a
portal for the gods.
603
00:31:15,482 --> 00:31:20,226
At number two on our
countdown: Danigala Mountain.
604
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:26,667
Central Sri Lanka.
605
00:31:26,797 --> 00:31:30,932
Overlooking the small
town of Aralaganwila
606
00:31:31,063 --> 00:31:33,761
stands the lush
Danigala mountain range.
607
00:31:35,371 --> 00:31:37,896
Its undulating
peaks reach heights
608
00:31:38,026 --> 00:31:39,767
of just under 1,000 feet,
609
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:42,901
but despite its low elevation,
610
00:31:43,031 --> 00:31:46,513
one mysterious summit
has captured the imaginations
611
00:31:46,643 --> 00:31:48,515
of locals and visitors alike.
612
00:31:49,951 --> 00:31:54,608
It's a strange outcropping
that is almost entirely round.
613
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,003
This is
a very remarkable
614
00:31:58,133 --> 00:32:00,222
geological formation,
615
00:32:00,353 --> 00:32:04,096
circular in shape,
with a completely flat
616
00:32:04,226 --> 00:32:06,054
platform on the top of it.
617
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,536
For locals,
the mountain is famous
618
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:11,320
not only for its unique shape,
619
00:32:11,451 --> 00:32:13,279
but for the number of reports
620
00:32:13,409 --> 00:32:17,761
of unidentified aerial
phenomena at the site.
621
00:32:17,892 --> 00:32:19,546
Everybody calls it
622
00:32:19,676 --> 00:32:25,247
"Alien Mountain," because
this is a UFO hot spot.
623
00:32:25,378 --> 00:32:28,685
At least two dozen UFO
sightings have been reported
624
00:32:28,816 --> 00:32:31,471
in 2023 alone.
625
00:32:32,776 --> 00:32:35,083
The recent
sightings are just the latest
626
00:32:35,214 --> 00:32:37,216
in a string of mysterious
events at the mountain
627
00:32:37,346 --> 00:32:40,262
that date back
thousands of years.
628
00:32:40,393 --> 00:32:42,047
The mountain
629
00:32:42,177 --> 00:32:45,137
is associated with
various different legends
630
00:32:45,267 --> 00:32:46,529
in Vedic tradition.
631
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:48,662
It's actually said
632
00:32:48,792 --> 00:32:53,754
to be the landing place
of the god Ravana.
633
00:32:53,884 --> 00:32:57,497
It was said that he could
actually fly this device
634
00:32:57,627 --> 00:32:59,673
and land on the top of it.
635
00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:04,286
Danigala
Mountain is also connected
636
00:33:04,417 --> 00:33:06,593
with the Buddha, in fact.
637
00:33:06,723 --> 00:33:09,552
There's a cave in the
side of this mountain
638
00:33:09,683 --> 00:33:11,815
which has a statue
of the Buddha,
639
00:33:11,946 --> 00:33:16,081
and it's said that he
originally used this area
640
00:33:16,211 --> 00:33:19,606
as a kind of way to explore
the different astral planes.
641
00:33:20,911 --> 00:33:22,703
The Buddha
is believed to have lived
642
00:33:22,783 --> 00:33:25,438
during the sixth
or fifth century BC.
643
00:33:25,568 --> 00:33:28,789
And according to
ancient Buddhist stories,
644
00:33:28,919 --> 00:33:32,097
he demonstrated the
ability to teleport instantly
645
00:33:32,227 --> 00:33:35,013
from one location to another.
646
00:33:36,492 --> 00:33:39,669
And as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
647
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,672
early accounts of the
Buddha sound very much
648
00:33:42,803 --> 00:33:46,024
like descriptions of
an extraterrestrial.
649
00:33:48,287 --> 00:33:51,290
According to some of
the earliest Sanskrit texts,
650
00:33:51,420 --> 00:33:53,553
the first Buddha
651
00:33:53,683 --> 00:33:57,252
that ever walked the
Earth was nine feet tall,
652
00:33:57,383 --> 00:33:59,559
had light blue skin,
653
00:33:59,689 --> 00:34:04,694
and his arms reached all
the way down to his knees.
654
00:34:04,825 --> 00:34:08,568
So, that to me, is
eternally fascinating
655
00:34:08,698 --> 00:34:10,613
because it would
support the idea
656
00:34:10,744 --> 00:34:13,355
that Buddha was
an extraterrestrial.
657
00:34:14,530 --> 00:34:16,010
Is it possible
658
00:34:16,141 --> 00:34:19,013
that the Buddha was
an otherworldly being
659
00:34:19,144 --> 00:34:20,884
who landed near
Danigala Mountain
660
00:34:21,015 --> 00:34:22,930
as told in local legends?
661
00:34:24,410 --> 00:34:26,238
Perhaps clues can be found
662
00:34:26,368 --> 00:34:30,242
in a mysterious petroglyph
found less than 100 miles away
663
00:34:30,372 --> 00:34:34,768
in Northern Sri Lanka called
the "Sakwala Chakraya."
664
00:34:36,161 --> 00:34:40,687
The Sakwala Chakraya
carving in Sri Lanka
665
00:34:40,817 --> 00:34:42,558
is carved onto this rock face,
666
00:34:42,689 --> 00:34:45,039
and there's actually
carved stone seats
667
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:48,477
on the opposite side for people
to sit there and gaze into it.
668
00:34:49,783 --> 00:34:53,091
Now, traditionally, it's
like a cosmological map
669
00:34:53,221 --> 00:34:55,702
that the ancient people
there would talk about,
670
00:34:55,832 --> 00:34:57,399
but could it be something else?
671
00:34:57,530 --> 00:35:00,794
Because the symbols
on it are very unusual.
672
00:35:00,924 --> 00:35:04,145
The name "Sakwala
Chakraya" means
673
00:35:04,276 --> 00:35:06,539
"the wheel of the universe."
674
00:35:06,669 --> 00:35:10,369
Locals believe that
this is a stargate.
675
00:35:10,499 --> 00:35:13,502
That Buddha used
this three times
676
00:35:13,633 --> 00:35:16,244
to go to other planets.
677
00:35:19,726 --> 00:35:21,249
Could
the mysterious carving
678
00:35:21,380 --> 00:35:23,599
found in Sri Lanka indicate
679
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:27,560
the presence of an ancient
stargate, as legend suggests?
680
00:35:27,690 --> 00:35:30,563
And if so, might
there be a connection
681
00:35:30,693 --> 00:35:33,043
with Danigala Mountain?
682
00:35:33,174 --> 00:35:35,133
For ancient astronaut theorists,
683
00:35:35,263 --> 00:35:38,440
the answer is a
resounding "yes."
684
00:35:39,876 --> 00:35:41,139
It's entirely possible
685
00:35:41,269 --> 00:35:43,271
that the
extraterrestrials set up
686
00:35:43,402 --> 00:35:47,362
space bases in mountains
all over the world.
687
00:35:47,493 --> 00:35:50,235
That way, they
could watch humanity,
688
00:35:50,365 --> 00:35:52,889
help guide us, and if necessary,
689
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:54,761
intervene again
in human affairs,
690
00:35:54,891 --> 00:35:56,676
as they had done in the past.
691
00:35:56,806 --> 00:35:59,200
There's only one entry
left on our countdown,
692
00:35:59,331 --> 00:36:01,985
and you don't want to miss it,
693
00:36:02,116 --> 00:36:06,512
because this one is the busiest
UFO hot spot in the world!
694
00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:16,957
We've reached number
one on our countdown
695
00:36:17,087 --> 00:36:19,568
of the Top Ten
Mysterious Mountains,
696
00:36:19,699 --> 00:36:22,832
and the final location
isn't a solitary summit,
697
00:36:22,963 --> 00:36:25,139
but an entire mountain range.
698
00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:28,229
For centuries, strange
lights have been seen
699
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,710
flying along these rugged peaks,
700
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,061
which are also marked
with mysterious geoglyphs.
701
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:37,325
Coming in at number
one: the Andes.
702
00:36:41,590 --> 00:36:43,201
Stretching across
703
00:36:43,331 --> 00:36:46,204
more than 4,300
miles of South America,
704
00:36:46,334 --> 00:36:48,989
from Colombia in the north
705
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:51,687
to the southernmost
tip of Argentina,
706
00:36:51,818 --> 00:36:54,386
is the largest mountain
range in the world...
707
00:36:54,516 --> 00:36:57,084
the Andes.
708
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:00,653
Located among
these peaks are some
709
00:37:00,783 --> 00:37:03,873
of the most mysterious
ancient sites on Earth,
710
00:37:04,004 --> 00:37:08,748
such as Pumapunku in Bolivia
711
00:37:08,878 --> 00:37:12,055
and Sacsayhuamán in Peru.
712
00:37:12,186 --> 00:37:16,364
The Andes also make
up much of Chile...
713
00:37:16,495 --> 00:37:18,714
a country that boasts
the highest number
714
00:37:18,845 --> 00:37:21,978
of reported UFO
sightings in the world.
715
00:37:22,109 --> 00:37:23,980
Chile itself is
716
00:37:24,111 --> 00:37:26,635
a long narrow country
717
00:37:26,766 --> 00:37:30,030
along the-the western,
you know, strip of the Andes.
718
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,340
The highest mountain in
South America is in Chile.
719
00:37:35,470 --> 00:37:39,082
There have been some
significant UFO sightings
720
00:37:39,213 --> 00:37:41,955
that the Chilean government
has actually admitted to.
721
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:46,960
One of
the most extraordinary
722
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:50,485
UFO sightings ever
captured on video occurred
723
00:37:50,616 --> 00:37:53,836
just west of the Chilean
capital of Santiago
724
00:37:53,967 --> 00:37:56,970
on November 11, 2014.
725
00:37:58,101 --> 00:37:59,973
Infrared footage
726
00:38:00,103 --> 00:38:03,498
taken by the crew of a
Chilean Navy helicopter
727
00:38:03,629 --> 00:38:06,458
shows a strange object
flying alongside them
728
00:38:06,588 --> 00:38:09,635
at an altitude of 4,500 feet.
729
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:13,820
The
Chilean helicopter video
730
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:16,206
is really intriguing
and fascinating
731
00:38:16,337 --> 00:38:19,384
because you have
this hot vehicle
732
00:38:19,514 --> 00:38:20,994
that looks like the
shape of a peanut.
733
00:38:22,212 --> 00:38:24,084
It's traveling
across the screen,
734
00:38:24,214 --> 00:38:26,304
and then, for some reason,
735
00:38:26,434 --> 00:38:29,742
it starts releasing some
type of material behind it.
736
00:38:29,872 --> 00:38:32,135
Now this is material
you do not see
737
00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:35,095
in the visible video imagery.
738
00:38:35,225 --> 00:38:38,577
You only see it in the
infrared, which means it's hot.
739
00:38:38,707 --> 00:38:40,492
All of that added together says,
740
00:38:40,622 --> 00:38:42,240
"Well, this isn't a normal
plane that we know of."
741
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,669
What is it?
742
00:38:44,887 --> 00:38:47,542
The
helicopter UFO case
743
00:38:47,673 --> 00:38:51,590
is excellent in terms
of hard evidence.
744
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:56,159
Here we have two
experienced Navy aviators
745
00:38:56,290 --> 00:38:58,205
seeing a UFO with the naked eye,
746
00:38:58,336 --> 00:39:00,425
and then capturing it
747
00:39:00,555 --> 00:39:02,731
on the forward-looking
infrared camera.
748
00:39:02,862 --> 00:39:05,908
Now, this is very important
because skeptics sometimes say
749
00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:07,308
that with these
infrared cameras,
750
00:39:07,388 --> 00:39:09,825
you get glitches and artifacts.
751
00:39:09,956 --> 00:39:14,090
But when you have something
seen with the naked eye, as well,
752
00:39:14,221 --> 00:39:16,049
that gives you
your corroboration.
753
00:39:17,311 --> 00:39:19,182
Is it possible
754
00:39:19,313 --> 00:39:22,925
that the object the Chilean Navy
officers caught on camera was,
755
00:39:23,056 --> 00:39:25,841
in fact, an alien aircraft?
756
00:39:25,972 --> 00:39:28,931
Ancient astronaut
theorists say "yes."
757
00:39:29,062 --> 00:39:31,456
And they suggest
758
00:39:31,586 --> 00:39:34,197
this sighting is
particularly significant
759
00:39:34,328 --> 00:39:37,810
because it occurred along a
part of the Andes mountain range
760
00:39:37,940 --> 00:39:41,988
where strange activity has
been documented for centuries.
761
00:39:42,118 --> 00:39:45,339
A route marked by
mysterious geoglyphs
762
00:39:45,470 --> 00:39:49,778
found north of Santiago
in the Atacama Desert.
763
00:39:49,909 --> 00:39:54,696
The Atacama Desert is
an extremely strange area,
764
00:39:54,827 --> 00:39:58,439
and largely devoid of life.
765
00:39:59,832 --> 00:40:03,705
We have figures that have
been carved into the desert.
766
00:40:03,836 --> 00:40:08,057
They're huge, giant figures
to be seen from the sky.
767
00:40:09,624 --> 00:40:11,409
This
arid region boasts
768
00:40:11,539 --> 00:40:13,715
more than 5,000 geoglyphs,
769
00:40:13,846 --> 00:40:18,067
the most prominent of
which is known simply
770
00:40:18,198 --> 00:40:20,940
as the "Atacama Giant."
771
00:40:22,245 --> 00:40:24,987
The Atacama
Giant is looking up at the stars.
772
00:40:25,118 --> 00:40:28,121
Seems to be a
signal to the sky gods
773
00:40:28,251 --> 00:40:31,211
and those who are
flying above the desert.
774
00:40:31,341 --> 00:40:33,779
So when you look
at all of these glyphs,
775
00:40:33,909 --> 00:40:37,173
and all of the UFO activity
there, is it possible
776
00:40:37,304 --> 00:40:41,177
that the Andes is this flight
path for extraterrestrials?
777
00:40:41,308 --> 00:40:43,441
An alien alley?
778
00:40:46,792 --> 00:40:50,578
Why is it that mountains
are so often associated
779
00:40:50,709 --> 00:40:53,886
with stories
of extraterrestrial contact?
780
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:59,500
Could they be the hub of hidden
alien bases right here on Earth?
781
00:40:59,631 --> 00:41:01,371
As far as I'm concerned,
782
00:41:01,502 --> 00:41:05,114
each location on our list
deserves a closer look,
783
00:41:05,245 --> 00:41:09,336
because whether
they're in Northern California,
784
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:12,208
the Egyptian desert,
785
00:41:12,339 --> 00:41:15,516
or even running the
entire length of South America,
786
00:41:15,647 --> 00:41:18,911
these immense,
majestic mountains
787
00:41:19,041 --> 00:41:21,870
might provide
the perfect hiding spots
788
00:41:22,001 --> 00:41:24,394
for extraterrestrials
who came to Earth
789
00:41:24,525 --> 00:41:26,527
thousands of years ago,
790
00:41:26,658 --> 00:41:29,922
and are still with us today.
791
