Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,619 --> 00:00:08,260
Elusive ape men stalking remote forests.
2
00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:13,060
Reptilian humanoids lurking in the
shadows.
3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,300
And mysterious cryptids vanishing
without a trace.
4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:27,379
For nearly two decades, ancient aliens
has traveled the globe exploring
5
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:28,580
megalithic structures.
6
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:30,540
Mysterious artifacts.
7
00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:37,329
and stories of otherworldly beings in a
quest for evidence that might reveal the
8
00:00:37,330 --> 00:00:42,809
truth of our extraterrestrial origins.
People have been reporting strange
9
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:46,970
encounters with very bizarre creatures
for decades.
10
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:53,849
Now, we take a look back through the
ancient aliens' archives to the show's
11
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:58,430
origins to examine the evidence that we
are not alone.
12
00:00:58,770 --> 00:01:00,730
We have never been.
13
00:01:05,161 --> 00:01:13,089
It's fascinating that there are stories
from all over the world of what we call
14
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:17,469
cryptids. And these strange creatures
are unlike anything else in the animal
15
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:21,390
kingdom. And we have reports that they
even have supernatural abilities.
16
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:26,769
Right, and often these cryptids, for
example, in ancient times, are referred
17
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:30,370
as hybrid beings, like the minotaur in
ancient Greece.
18
00:01:30,990 --> 00:01:36,109
Half human, half bull. And according to
legend, this being was allegedly created
19
00:01:36,110 --> 00:01:37,430
inside of a container.
20
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:40,770
That, to me, speaks of genetic
experimentation.
21
00:01:40,771 --> 00:01:44,849
Yeah, and these stories aren't just
isolated to the ancient world. Cryptids
22
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:47,929
been recorded right up through to the
present day. We featured these strange
23
00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:51,250
creatures in a 2011 episode called
Aliens and Monsters.
24
00:01:57,570 --> 00:01:58,620
Surfside Beach.
25
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:00,810
Montauk, New York.
26
00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:08,388
On July 13, 2008, a 26 -year -old woman
and three of her friends
27
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:13,549
discovered the carcass of a strange
-looking creature that had washed onto
28
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:14,600
shore.
29
00:02:19,210 --> 00:02:22,850
It actually looked like a hybrid
creature.
30
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:29,010
that had the claws of a raccoon and
possibly the beak of a bird and the
31
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:32,370
perhaps, of a dog. A very unusual
creature.
32
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:37,949
A photograph was taken and circulated.
It started popping up all over the
33
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,790
Internet. It went viral.
34
00:02:40,210 --> 00:02:44,830
The people couldn't identify the animal
because it didn't look like anything.
35
00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:47,490
It looked like a mixture of different
animals.
36
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:55,350
And because it looks so strange, you
know, it's provoked a lot of theories.
37
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,170
Is it just an unknown animal?
38
00:02:57,171 --> 00:03:02,649
Could it be some sort of hybrid -type
creature, something, you know, that had
39
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:04,690
been genetically tinkered with in a lab?
40
00:03:09,770 --> 00:03:15,389
Some believe the mysterious creature is
a hybrid beast, perhaps created at a
41
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:20,010
nearby government testing facility, the
Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
42
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,520
Cryptozoologist Lauren Coleman labels
the creature the Montauk Monster.
43
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:30,480
This is a replica of the Montauk
Monster.
44
00:03:30,481 --> 00:03:35,159
One of the things that we noticed about
this creature was these strange features
45
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,639
around its mouth. It looked like a beak.
It actually looked like we didn't know
46
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,219
what was going on here. Was it a
griffin? Was it a creature? Was it a
47
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:49,800
turtle? But indeed, that was decaying
flesh that had come away from the skull.
48
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:52,720
Other features were the strange -looking
feet.
49
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:57,959
And the body, indeed, because the
picture had no scale in it, we thought,
50
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,010
enormous.
51
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:05,379
On the body, these white objects here
really define the size of flies on the
52
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:09,420
creature, which then determined the
scale of this creature was very small.
53
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,519
Unfortunately, someone grabbed the
carcass and supposedly took it to his
54
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,299
yard, and then it ultimately vanished.
55
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,120
So the only evidence we have of this
creature is the photo.
56
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:31,289
But while some researchers theorized,
that the so -called Montauk monster was
57
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:32,970
the product of modern science.
58
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:40,409
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the
animal could be part of a long line of
59
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:44,810
genetically modified creatures that have
appeared throughout human history.
60
00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:51,709
If the Montauk monster is in fact a
reality, then that
61
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:55,270
could mean that if we are able today
62
00:04:56,010 --> 00:05:01,509
to create some very bizarre creatures
behind closed doors in labs all around
63
00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:07,209
world, it is possible that our
ancestors, especially the
64
00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:13,630
ancestors, had the same capability.
Because in ancient texts,
65
00:05:13,690 --> 00:05:20,449
we have numerous references to monsters,
bizarre beings
66
00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:23,610
that have been described in great
detail.
67
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:31,460
Ancient Greek artifacts depict
terrifying beasts, such as the Gorgon,
68
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,540
the Hydra,
69
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:42,520
and the ferocious Cerberus.
70
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,839
And in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, the
Greek author describes a battle in
71
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,950
which the hero, Bellerophon, slays a
monster called the chimera.
72
00:05:59,030 --> 00:06:03,489
The chimera was a dreaded beast that
wreaked havoc and terrorized the people
73
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:04,540
Asia Minor.
74
00:06:04,570 --> 00:06:09,069
Homer described the chimera as an
immortal beast with a lion -like head, a
75
00:06:09,070 --> 00:06:12,490
tail, and a third goat head in the
middle that snorted bright fire.
76
00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:17,509
The notion of chimeras and hybrids is
one that has been part of the human
77
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:21,330
for millennia. I mean, when you think
about things such as the minotaur,
78
00:06:21,530 --> 00:06:22,670
pegasus,
79
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:29,489
Anubis, this is something that either we
have imagined or have been created at
80
00:06:29,490 --> 00:06:30,540
one time.
81
00:06:33,890 --> 00:06:39,430
But did mythic monsters merely spring
from the imagination of our ancestors?
82
00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:42,950
Or might they have actually existed?
83
00:06:45,870 --> 00:06:50,949
Ancient alien theorists believe in their
existence and that evidence can be
84
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:53,230
found in the relics of the past.
85
00:06:55,650 --> 00:07:01,829
To suggest that all of these creatures
were nothing else but fantasy, in my
86
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:07,489
opinion, doesn't really hold water
because our ancestors weren't stupid.
87
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:09,790
depicted what they saw.
88
00:07:12,610 --> 00:07:19,130
We find these mixed... hybrid beings all
throughout Egypt as sphinxes,
89
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:26,050
as griffins, as bizarre creatures that,
according to the ancient Egyptian texts,
90
00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:28,350
they did exist.
91
00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:32,510
They were not a fantasy of our
ancestors' imagination.
92
00:07:33,850 --> 00:07:39,989
Just imagine there is a mother spaceship
traveling in the universe for centuries
93
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:41,040
and centuries.
94
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,559
Then they find a solar system with the
planet with the possibility of life like
95
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,759
the earth And they observe on the Nile a
crocodile a living creature
96
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,460
which obviously is resistant to the heat
They observe a lion
97
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:06,889
with his power, his muscles. And now
they start to think we could use a
98
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:13,489
of this creature on another planet. And
now, by genetical design, they start
99
00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:16,250
to create mixed creatures.
100
00:08:16,510 --> 00:08:20,650
Some of these mixed creatures did exist
in the past.
101
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:26,389
The griffon was a mythological creature
that had the body of a lion with the
102
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:27,850
head and wings of an eagle.
103
00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:34,349
Well, now the lion is the king of
beasts, the eagle is the king of birds,
104
00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:36,610
griffon was the king of all creatures.
105
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:43,668
The creature is somehow two creatures
put together in a way that defies normal
106
00:08:43,669 --> 00:08:45,650
sense, defies normal explanation.
107
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:48,400
So the question then is, how does that
happen?
108
00:08:48,670 --> 00:08:54,489
By the mid -19th century, scientists
began to look at fossil records around
109
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:57,950
planet to study how organisms changed
over time.
110
00:09:00,970 --> 00:09:06,289
Naturalist Charles Darwin theorized that
all life forms share a common origin
111
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:11,530
and have evolved over the centuries
through a process called natural
112
00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:19,489
Might the hybrid monsters of ancient
religion and myth really have been the
113
00:09:19,490 --> 00:09:20,730
result of evolution?
114
00:09:22,750 --> 00:09:28,189
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural
selection is a mechanism by which life
115
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:30,130
forms can change from one into another.
116
00:09:31,470 --> 00:09:36,729
It relies on the principle that
organisms that have certain traits,
117
00:09:36,730 --> 00:09:41,669
mutations, may be advantageous in the
struggle for existence and the struggle
118
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:42,720
for reproduction.
119
00:09:42,721 --> 00:09:48,429
And those traits are the ones that will
be perpetuated over time, over many,
120
00:09:48,430 --> 00:09:49,480
many generations.
121
00:09:50,510 --> 00:09:55,809
Certain different species can breed if
they are genetically close, like the
122
00:09:55,810 --> 00:10:01,430
donkey and the horse, like the wolf and
the dog.
123
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:08,670
However, cats and dogs will not mate
because, first of all, they're not...
124
00:10:08,990 --> 00:10:13,489
They don't have the biochemical
signatures to mate with each other. And
125
00:10:13,490 --> 00:10:18,829
their genes are so different that the
chromosomes just won't line up properly
126
00:10:18,830 --> 00:10:20,390
reproduce. It's impossible.
127
00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:29,169
But if Darwin's theories on evolution
and natural selection cannot explain the
128
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:35,310
origins of ancient beasts and monsters,
then where might they have come from?
129
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:43,699
Perhaps the answer cannot be found on
Earth, but in a place much farther
130
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:44,750
away.
131
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,460
Southern Pakistan.
132
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:02,400
In the middle of the Indus River Valley
lie the ruins of Mohenjo -daro.
133
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:11,059
Ancient city, whose name means mound of
the dead, was one of the largest urban
134
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:14,300
settlements in the world in 2600 BC.
135
00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:21,859
The ancient city of Mohenjo -daro had
what appeared to be streets
136
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:25,420
that were made up parallel and
perpendicular to each other like a
137
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:31,839
The homes actually had their own toilets
and they had a very sophisticated sewer
138
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,800
system. So it looks like a very advanced
city.
139
00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:42,349
Ancient astronaut theorists have long
thought this site was also the epicenter
140
00:11:42,350 --> 00:11:47,210
of a nuclear explosion that occurred
more than 4 ,000 years ago.
141
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:54,369
Skeletons were found in dead positions
as though there was an instantaneous
142
00:11:54,370 --> 00:11:59,509
death. And some of those skeletons, as
measured by Soviet scientists, had 50
143
00:11:59,510 --> 00:12:01,750
times the normal radioactivity.
144
00:12:03,090 --> 00:12:04,630
They found pottery.
145
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,499
that had been fused. Then walls were
heated to such an extent they became
146
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:15,019
vitrified or glass -like, suggesting
some sort of ancient nuclear weapon
147
00:12:15,020 --> 00:12:16,070
involved.
148
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:23,979
According to the Mahabharata, the
ancient holy text of the Hindus, white
149
00:12:23,980 --> 00:12:28,940
smoke rose in infinite brilliance and
reduced the city to ashes.
150
00:12:29,980 --> 00:12:32,080
Horses were burned by the thousands.
151
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,320
and corpses were vaporized by intense
heat.
152
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:43,739
And afterwards, a big silence came over
the entire land, and people started to
153
00:12:43,740 --> 00:12:48,500
have boils on their skin. Their hair
started to fall out, and their nails.
154
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:55,499
There's only one thing that causes this,
and that is radiation poisoning. It's
155
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:56,700
radiation fallout.
156
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:04,539
So the question then becomes, When
events happen in a place where there is
157
00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:09,439
extreme radiation, what impact does that
have on human life or on other life
158
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,490
present there?
159
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:15,099
Could it explain, for example, why
creatures were born with more than one
160
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:19,360
more than one leg, which then somehow
became deified? Because even to this
161
00:13:19,380 --> 00:13:24,259
we know that in civilizations where
anomalous human beings are born, somehow
162
00:13:24,260 --> 00:13:27,320
touch of God seems to be part of this
creation.
163
00:13:30,570 --> 00:13:36,669
According to the ancient Hindu texts,
after the carnage at Mohenjo -daro, a
164
00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:39,330
fearsome flying monster appeared in the
sky.
165
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:41,630
It was called Garuda.
166
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:48,109
In the Mahabharata, the Garuda is a
massive bird -like creature. It's a red
167
00:13:48,110 --> 00:13:52,370
face, red wings, talon. It's so huge it
would block out the sun.
168
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:56,489
There are stories that it would let a
certain god, Vishnu, ride on him on
169
00:13:56,490 --> 00:13:57,540
occasion.
170
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,199
Each and every time he would show up
descending from the sky, he would create
171
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,250
hurricane winds.
172
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:10,619
And upon his descent, the earth would
shake, dust would flap in the air, and
173
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:13,510
everyone in the vicinity would be
absolutely terrified.
174
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,300
Now, here we have a carving of Garuda.
175
00:14:19,850 --> 00:14:24,090
And if we look at the top, yes, they
look like feathers, but at the same
176
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:27,650
they could be interpreted as big,
gigantic flame.
177
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:36,190
According to Hindu mythology, the root
is born out of this cosmic event,
178
00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:40,870
this war and destruction that happens at
the end of every age.
179
00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:44,190
Could it have been somehow connected?
180
00:14:44,780 --> 00:14:50,260
to exposure or to radiation, being born
within a zone of high radiation.
181
00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:55,520
We cannot know the answer, but we do
know that within India and within
182
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,020
there are known zones of higher
radiation than there are normal.
183
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:06,719
The logic dictates that somehow genetic
abominations will have been born within
184
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,770
those places.
185
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:16,439
If Mohenjo -daro was in fact the site of
an ancient nuclear attack, could it be
186
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,099
possible that Garuda was a mutant beast
created as a byproduct of intense
187
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:23,400
radioactivity?
188
00:15:23,401 --> 00:15:29,279
We tend to have a science fiction view
of what mutation is. We think of
189
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,099
mutations being caused by radiation and
they cause outlandish features and
190
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:38,660
gigantic sized insects and so forth. But
in fact, mutations happen all the time.
191
00:15:39,950 --> 00:15:46,249
There's no recorded evidence of any
radiation causing a mutation which
192
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:48,230
some species into a different species.
193
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:51,550
Most of the radiation mutations are
lethal.
194
00:15:53,670 --> 00:16:00,209
But if, as modern scientists believe,
Garuda was not likely the result of
195
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:04,690
genetic mutation, then what could
explain its existence?
196
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,319
To the east of India, near the village
of Wushang, in the Sichuan province of
197
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:22,300
China, similar tales of flying beasts
have also been found in ancient texts.
198
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:32,219
In the 4th century, historian Zhang Ku
reported the discovery of what were
199
00:16:32,220 --> 00:16:34,000
then called dragon bones.
200
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,480
A question...
201
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,559
occurs as to whether dragons might
actually have been actual dinosaurs that
202
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,610
wings.
203
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,240
I should point out that the wings would
have been lost to the fossil record.
204
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:52,259
We're just recently talking about
dinosaurs having feathers and having
205
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:57,179
into birds. Well, it's possible that
some dinosaurs actually did have wings
206
00:16:57,180 --> 00:16:58,680
could be described as dragons.
207
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,459
But while most mainstream scientists
believe, the remains found were most
208
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:10,159
dinosaur fossils, like those of the
flying pterosaur, ancient astronaut
209
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,319
theorists have another, more provocative
explanation.
210
00:17:16,020 --> 00:17:20,200
Now, a creature which somehow is able to
spit fire obviously is not...
211
00:17:20,410 --> 00:17:22,490
any place in the animal kingdom of
today.
212
00:17:22,810 --> 00:17:27,249
So what we have here is either an
invention which did indeed spit fire, in
213
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:31,509
case we're not confronting a creature
here, but somehow a creation, something
214
00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:34,989
which was either engineered by mankind
or which was engineered by
215
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:36,040
extraterrestrials.
216
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:43,089
While accounts of strange creatures,
commonly referred to as cryptids, are
217
00:17:43,090 --> 00:17:48,730
scientifically validated, is it possible
that some of them truly exist?
218
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:54,400
And if so, might these beings have an
otherworldly connection?
219
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,099
Perhaps further evidence can be found by
exploring accounts of an aquatic beast
220
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:06,340
said to reside in the deep water of Loch
Ness.
221
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:15,840
We have so many stories that describe
cryptids inhabiting bodies of water,
222
00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:17,640
whether oceans, lakes.
223
00:18:17,641 --> 00:18:18,979
even rivers.
224
00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:23,620
Right. We have stories of the Kraken and
the Hydra and the Leviathan.
225
00:18:23,820 --> 00:18:28,559
And in modern times, we have stories of
the Loch Ness Monster, this long -necked
226
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,419
creature that hundreds of people have
claimed to have seen and even
227
00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:37,239
photographed. Yeah, and there really is
no better hiding place than deep
228
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,720
underwater. And we keep making these new
discoveries of species in our oceans,
229
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:44,840
so who knows what else might be lurking
down there.
230
00:18:49,130 --> 00:18:55,949
In March 2010, a panel of 41
international experts concluded that the
231
00:18:55,950 --> 00:19:02,029
impact of an asteroid that smashed into
Earth at Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula 65
232
00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:08,409
million years ago probably triggered the
global climate change that resulted in
233
00:19:08,410 --> 00:19:11,070
the mass extinction of the Earth's
dinosaurs.
234
00:19:11,970 --> 00:19:17,670
But is there also evidence that some
dinosaur species survived?
235
00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:22,260
And if so, might they also have evolved?
236
00:19:23,380 --> 00:19:27,519
Paleontologists tell us that, oh, these
things have been extinct for 65 million
237
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:33,860
years, yet they still crop up. And they
appear to be prehistoric animals,
238
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,819
dinosaurs literally, that have survived
right down to today. Much like the
239
00:19:38,820 --> 00:19:44,619
coelacanth and alligators and sharks and
turtles also have survived from those
240
00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:46,540
same prehistoric times.
241
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:53,139
I believe that ancient prehistoric
monsters are still living in remote
242
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:57,640
the world, either in oceans and lakes or
jungle areas today.
243
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:07,219
In the highlands of Scotland, the legend
of the Loch Ness Monster has long been
244
00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:09,380
part of Celtic and Norse folklore.
245
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Recorded accounts of sightings can be
traced to the year 565.
246
00:20:16,270 --> 00:20:22,309
to the Irish monk, St. Columba, a
powerful leader who founded monasteries
247
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:23,750
both Ireland and Scotland.
248
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:29,909
During his travels, Columba is said to
have encountered locals burying a man
249
00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:33,090
near the shores of the now fabled Loch
Ness.
250
00:20:33,091 --> 00:20:40,289
They explained to Father Columba that
the man who had died had been swimming
251
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:44,309
the lake and was attacked by the water
beast. Upon hearing this, Father Columba
252
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:48,449
sent his own follower into the lake.
When the beast came after this man,
253
00:20:48,450 --> 00:20:52,490
Columba made the sign of a cross and
commanded the beast not to harm the man.
254
00:20:52,690 --> 00:20:56,210
The beast fled and was never seen
harming another man again.
255
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:06,659
A lot of people don't realise how big
Loch Ness is. It's 23 miles long, a mile
256
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:09,500
wide, and at its deepest point, about
800 feet.
257
00:21:09,820 --> 00:21:15,039
And the water is very, very dark and
dense. And so it is the prime location
258
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,639
where, conceivably, if they didn't need
to surface that often, they would sort
259
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,720
of bypass detection.
260
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:27,139
When we're confronted with the Loch Ness
monster or any kind of anomalous
261
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:30,540
creature, the question really is, where
does it come from?
262
00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:36,949
Is it a remnant of the dinosaur age, or
is it something which is out of this
263
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:39,510
world? We know that, for example, St.
264
00:21:39,511 --> 00:21:43,509
Columba definitely felt that the lake
was sacred, and that there was something
265
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:48,069
present there which had a religious
connotation, which is why he went to
266
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:49,370
place to begin with.
267
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,199
The intriguing thing is that there
actually have been a significant number
268
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,299
UFO sightings over the Loch itself of
strange, brightly lit objects hovering
269
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:03,219
over the water late at night, which
clearly aren't helicopters or aircraft
270
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:05,240
meteorites or anything like that at all.
271
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:09,060
So, in other words, Loch Ness is a weird
and spooky place.
272
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,060
Could the so -called sea monsters of
Loch Ness...
273
00:22:16,410 --> 00:22:19,170
possibly be descendants of ancient
dinosaurs?
274
00:22:21,790 --> 00:22:28,609
Or might it be of another perhaps
extraterrestrial origin? And if so, what
275
00:22:28,610 --> 00:22:33,569
might this say about other mythical sea
beasts, like the seven -headed Sumerian
276
00:22:33,570 --> 00:22:36,970
sea monster, the Leviathan? The
Leviathan is...
277
00:22:37,340 --> 00:22:42,679
sometimes described as a serpent or a
crocodile or a dragon, but it lurks. It
278
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,479
the gatekeeper to a portal to hell. And
this gateway to hell is apparently deep
279
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,220
in the ocean, and the Leviathan is there
forever lurking.
280
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:00,479
In Greek myths, the Hydra was described
as an ancient sea serpent with many
281
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,519
heads.
282
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,480
It was said to be a descendant of the
earth goddess, Gaia.
283
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Hercules was sent to kill the Hydra.
284
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,219
But it was terribly difficult. He would
slice off the head and two heads would
285
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:18,580
form. He had to ask help from his
nephew.
286
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,060
And his nephew had a brilliant idea.
287
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,290
Bring a torch.
288
00:23:22,660 --> 00:23:27,159
Fire might keep the heads from forming.
So Hercules would bash off one of the
289
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,939
heads and his nephew would essentially
cauterize the next so that another one
290
00:23:30,940 --> 00:23:34,070
wouldn't form. And in this way, the
Hydra was finally defeated.
291
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,759
In the case of a Hydra, we have
something which has several heads, which
292
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,460
again a category of a creature which you
would expect not to see.
293
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,539
So we are either confronted here with
something which was genetically
294
00:23:48,540 --> 00:23:53,359
or which genetically went wrong, but
clearly it was of such importance that
295
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:58,999
was adhered to in mythology, where it
attained a status over the years, over
296
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,300
centuries, up until this moment in time.
297
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,279
According to Scandinavian legend, the
Kraken are legendary sea monsters of
298
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:17,079
gargantuan size and are said to have
roamed the seas off the coast of Norway
299
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,130
Iceland.
300
00:24:18,220 --> 00:24:22,900
This fearsome beast was infamous for its
attacks on sailing ships.
301
00:24:23,850 --> 00:24:28,529
The danger was not only being attacked
by the Kraken. They would come up to the
302
00:24:28,530 --> 00:24:32,529
surface and were enormous, the size of
small islands, so you could have a
303
00:24:32,530 --> 00:24:37,089
collision with a Kraken that wasn't even
out to attack you. Another great danger
304
00:24:37,090 --> 00:24:41,149
was that if it submerged suddenly, it
formed such a great whirlpool that it
305
00:24:41,150 --> 00:24:42,490
could pull a ship under.
306
00:24:46,250 --> 00:24:50,090
Could such legendary sea monsters have
actually existed?
307
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,760
Might they have escaped extinction in
the safety of cold, deep waters?
308
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:01,420
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
309
00:25:02,180 --> 00:25:08,179
And they suggest that in addition to
oceans and lakes, there is evidence that
310
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:13,900
many cryptids find refuge in the world's
densest forests and highest mountains.
311
00:25:18,410 --> 00:25:23,329
You can't really talk about cryptids
without mentioning Bigfoot. And I spent
312
00:25:23,330 --> 00:25:28,010
lot of time with Bigfoot hunters back in
2014 for my show In Search of Aliens.
313
00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:33,469
And I'll tell you, those people were
convinced that they did encounter this
314
00:25:33,470 --> 00:25:36,809
creature. You know what's intriguing is
that people that report witnessing
315
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:42,390
Bigfoot often see him right after a UFO
sighting or even at the exact same time.
316
00:25:42,590 --> 00:25:47,330
Right. And there are reports of Bigfoot
disappearing in a sudden flash of light.
317
00:25:48,250 --> 00:25:52,100
So, you know, you have to wonder, is
there an extraterrestrial connection?
318
00:25:58,370 --> 00:26:02,910
Mount Everest, November 9th, 1951.
319
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:11,289
On the Menlung Glacier, at an altitude
of 18 ,000 feet, British explorers
320
00:26:11,290 --> 00:26:16,529
Eric Shipton and Michael Ward came
across a mile -long trail of unusual
321
00:26:16,530 --> 00:26:17,580
footprint.
322
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,819
Not expecting to find humans in this
remote corner of the mountain, the
323
00:26:26,820 --> 00:26:29,800
examined the prints to determine what
made them.
324
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,739
To their surprise, the footprints were
in the shape of a large, human -like
325
00:26:36,740 --> 00:26:39,660
foot, one roughly twice the normal size.
326
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,479
The footprints suggest that, in fact,
we're dealing with a large primate, one
327
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,499
that shares with us not only the habit
of walking on two legs, but has some
328
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:55,380
superficial resemblance in its foot to
our footprints, only much larger scale,
329
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,620
but differ from the other great apes in
the lack of a divergent big toe,
330
00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:04,899
suggesting they're adapted to a wholly
terrestrial environment, living on the
331
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:05,950
ground.
332
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,939
Photographs brought back from the
expedition, launched a media sensation
333
00:27:13,940 --> 00:27:16,350
marked the beginning of the Bigfoot
phenomena.
334
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:22,200
But where do these giant footprints come
from?
335
00:27:22,660 --> 00:27:24,200
Could they be a hoax?
336
00:27:24,740 --> 00:27:29,780
Or is there some mysterious unknown
creature living in the remote
337
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,859
According to the histories and myths of
the Himalayan region, one such ape -like
338
00:27:39,860 --> 00:27:44,759
creature, is the yeti more commonly
known as the abominable snowman
339
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:51,659
the notorious himalayan yeti it's often
described as being
340
00:27:51,660 --> 00:27:58,539
less than six feet in height much more
aggressive when encountered all of these
341
00:27:58,540 --> 00:28:03,759
sightings really make for a creature
which seems to be hiding from us with
342
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,619
creature which is hiding in plain sight
and obviously the direct evidence comes
343
00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:11,930
in the form of its footprint hence why
it's quite often referred to as Bigfoot.
344
00:28:13,310 --> 00:28:15,950
People often ask, why don't we catch
Bigfoot?
345
00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:19,720
Bigfoot could be some sort of
supernatural creature, like a phantom.
346
00:28:19,890 --> 00:28:24,789
If Bigfoot is, however, a flesh -and
-blood animal, then I would have to say
347
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:27,320
their numbers would have to be few and
far between.
348
00:28:29,290 --> 00:28:33,630
Since the Mount Everest discovery, there
have been numerous sightings of large,
349
00:28:33,730 --> 00:28:35,730
ape -like creatures on every continent.
350
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,619
Many clustered in the Pacific Northwest
area of the United States, including
351
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:43,920
Mount Shasta in Northern California.
352
00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:52,619
In 1979, I was up on the side of Mount
Shasta on the foothills, trying to get
353
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:53,820
the base of the mountain.
354
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,400
It was so dense and so tough.
355
00:28:56,740 --> 00:29:00,400
As we're standing there, we heard this
crashing sound.
356
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:04,940
Simultaneously, we smelled it.
357
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,960
Awful smell. I mean, it was foul.
358
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:11,819
But what was horrifying was whatever it
was was coming at us through this
359
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:12,870
impenetrable hedge.
360
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,099
And then we heard the most blood
-curdling combination of an elephant
361
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:22,600
trumpeting, a lion roaring.
362
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,940
And it was so loud it bounced off the
foothills two miles away.
363
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:37,039
That was probably the most terrified
I've ever been in my life. And the next
364
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,830
thing I knew, we were headed down the
mountain, almost getting off corners.
365
00:29:43,060 --> 00:29:49,379
I had heard from sheriffs about a
rancher in Montana who had gone out to
366
00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:56,079
hunting, comes around a ridge, has an
eight -foot -tall, reddish -brown,
367
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,660
-looking, long -haired creature standing
right in front of him.
368
00:30:01,070 --> 00:30:04,310
picks up a .30 -06 and just fires.
369
00:30:06,330 --> 00:30:09,170
And the creature disappeared in a flash
of light.
370
00:30:10,030 --> 00:30:16,750
If the Sasquatch, when a bullet is shot
at it, disappears in a flash of light,
371
00:30:17,010 --> 00:30:20,410
then what in the world are we dealing
with and what do they want?
372
00:30:22,690 --> 00:30:27,350
Why is the creature known as Bigfoot so
difficult to capture or kill?
373
00:30:27,870 --> 00:30:28,920
Could it be?
374
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,619
as ancient astronaut theorists contend,
that the creature's ghost -like
375
00:30:33,620 --> 00:30:37,280
abilities are the result of its
otherworldly origin.
376
00:30:38,660 --> 00:30:45,019
Many Sasquatch researchers have noted
that there's a connection between UFO
377
00:30:45,020 --> 00:30:47,920
activity and Bigfoot activity.
378
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:54,880
In fact, Bigfoot has been seen coming
out of some UFO flying saucer craft.
379
00:30:56,490 --> 00:31:01,709
You have to wonder if somehow Bigfoot
himself isn't some kind of
380
00:31:01,710 --> 00:31:02,760
extraterrestrial.
381
00:31:06,110 --> 00:31:10,849
Many of the North American Indian tribes
have legends and mythological tales
382
00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:15,869
about these Sasquatch, the Anasazi, and
various other Indian cultures. Look at
383
00:31:15,870 --> 00:31:21,389
these as a ghost creature, something
that it's impossible to capture, close
384
00:31:21,390 --> 00:31:24,330
impossible to see, but they do know that
they exist.
385
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,559
Although mainstream scientists consider
the mysterious beast as no more than a
386
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,610
modern -day myth,
387
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,439
the number of Bigfoot sightings reported
and photographed continues to steadily
388
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,490
increase.
389
00:31:44,420 --> 00:31:49,119
Specifically what you get is obviously
big feet. You get a hairy creature. You
390
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:55,359
get a very specific smell, very harsh
smell. And it's also said that the sound
391
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,640
which Bigfoot makes is kind of
whistling.
392
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,459
So all of these components really make
for a typical big switch fighting, and
393
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:07,140
they are concise across the board.
394
00:32:08,020 --> 00:32:14,179
They seem to be very elusive, very
retiring and retreating. Aggressive
395
00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:15,780
are very rarely reported.
396
00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:21,399
The witness sees the creature and both
go in opposite directions with no
397
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,660
interaction whatsoever.
398
00:32:24,980 --> 00:32:29,360
They range in size from perhaps 6 feet
to 10 feet tall.
399
00:32:30,590 --> 00:32:35,010
Coloration, the most common description
is of a dark brown fur.
400
00:32:35,270 --> 00:32:41,510
Their names vary from location, but you
have, of course, in America, Bigfoot,
401
00:32:41,550 --> 00:32:44,440
otherwise known as Sasquatch, in the
Pacific Northwest.
402
00:32:44,770 --> 00:32:47,210
Down in Florida, he's known as the Skunk
Ape.
403
00:32:47,810 --> 00:32:50,410
Down in Australia, we have the Yowie.
404
00:32:53,290 --> 00:32:59,110
But if a Bigfoot creature really does
exist, how has it remained so elusive?
405
00:33:02,860 --> 00:33:07,779
Researchers point out that accounts of
giant, human -like beasts date back
406
00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:08,940
thousands of years.
407
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,479
Throughout ancient history, we have a
number of legends about giants, about
408
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,920
men, about hairy beasts that live at the
edge of civilization.
409
00:33:18,620 --> 00:33:21,120
These were humans, you know, people.
410
00:33:21,550 --> 00:33:25,429
who were, however, wild. They were
hairy, they didn't wear clothes, they
411
00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:29,790
in the wood, and yet, in other ways,
they had special powers.
412
00:33:31,690 --> 00:33:37,329
Is it possible that the supernatural
creatures of Native American myths are,
413
00:33:37,330 --> 00:33:41,750
fact, descriptions of encounters with
Bigfoot in the remote past?
414
00:33:42,350 --> 00:33:46,270
And are such creatures extraterrestrial
in nature?
415
00:33:47,730 --> 00:33:53,139
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the
answers can be found in numerous ancient
416
00:33:53,140 --> 00:33:58,059
texts. In the book of Enoch, we have a
category called the Nephilim or the
417
00:33:58,060 --> 00:34:04,419
Watchers, people who set to come down
from heaven to earth and basically lived
418
00:34:04,420 --> 00:34:06,140
ever after amongst us.
419
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,480
Now, the Bible gives very little
discussion as to really what they looked
420
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,420
except the fact that they were giants.
421
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,079
that they were big, and clearly they are
deemed to be less worthy. And I think
422
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,919
this is of interest because when you
start looking on the Bigfoot, you really
423
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,539
are confronted with a creature which
even we today would classify more as an
424
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:28,780
animal rather than as a human being.
425
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:35,678
What they witnessed had absolutely
nothing to do with the divine or with
426
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:39,460
spiritual because those gods were not
gods at all.
427
00:34:39,860 --> 00:34:41,960
They were misinterpreted.
428
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,940
flesh and blood, extraterrestrials.
429
00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:57,699
Might Bigfoot and the Himalayan Yeti
really be creatures of alien origin, as
430
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:00,120
some ancient astronaut theorists
contend?
431
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:07,299
Perhaps further evidence can be found in
ancient tales of giant beings with
432
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:08,740
supernatural powers.
433
00:35:12,650 --> 00:35:16,969
You know, we often think of Bigfoot as a
modern phenomenon, but there's actually
434
00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:21,809
reports of a Bigfoot -like creature in
the Sumerian texts called the Epic of
435
00:35:21,810 --> 00:35:25,470
Gilgamesh, which is the oldest story
ever written.
436
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:30,389
Yeah, and that text goes back about 5
,000 years ago, and in it there is a
437
00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:36,030
character named Enkidu, who is this
wild, hairy beast of giant proportions.
438
00:35:36,031 --> 00:35:40,389
Yeah, it's really amazing to think that
the creature we call Bigfoot has been
439
00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:43,369
hiding out in the wilderness since the
time of the Sumerians.
440
00:35:43,370 --> 00:35:47,689
And you have to wonder, maybe the reason
why it's so elusive is because it
441
00:35:47,690 --> 00:35:49,370
really is of otherworldly origin.
442
00:35:53,030 --> 00:35:54,080
Iraq.
443
00:35:55,630 --> 00:35:59,690
Site of ancient Mesopotamia and the
cradle of civilization.
444
00:36:02,530 --> 00:36:08,349
In the remains of the ancient city of
Nineveh, Sumerian tablets dating back to
445
00:36:08,350 --> 00:36:13,270
as early as 1800 BC tell the story of
King Gilgamesh.
446
00:36:16,690 --> 00:36:22,330
In this epic poem, Gilgamesh has a
companion named Enkidu.
447
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:29,640
who is described as a hairy wild man
living outside human society.
448
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:37,099
What is fascinating about the Epic of
Gilgamesh is the fact that it relates to
449
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:43,579
us a story of Enkidu, who allegedly was
a
450
00:36:43,580 --> 00:36:49,979
giant. It is possible that Enkidu, this
wild, hairy
451
00:36:49,980 --> 00:36:56,130
beast, this giant, could have been of
extraterrestrial origin,
452
00:36:56,330 --> 00:37:00,290
because that is what the ancient
Sumerian texts are saying.
453
00:37:01,450 --> 00:37:08,429
Enkidu is described in the Epic of
Gilgamesh as being a hairy, man
454
00:37:08,430 --> 00:37:11,890
-like monster with great strength.
455
00:37:12,690 --> 00:37:18,989
And when you read that story, you have
to think that Enkidu is some kind of
456
00:37:18,990 --> 00:37:20,930
Bigfoot Sasquatch.
457
00:37:23,180 --> 00:37:28,959
This is the actual first -fashioned
being by the gods, where they put their
458
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,739
genetic marker on it to make a new being
that would be their slave, and they
459
00:37:33,740 --> 00:37:35,360
called this being the Enkidu.
460
00:37:37,340 --> 00:37:42,799
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest, that the Epic of
461
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:48,579
Gilgamesh actually describes a hominid
creature created by extraterrestrial
462
00:37:48,580 --> 00:37:49,630
beings?
463
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:55,949
Sumerian texts also describe ancient sky
gods who came to Earth, called the
464
00:37:55,950 --> 00:37:57,000
Anunnaki.
465
00:37:58,370 --> 00:38:02,669
The ancient astronaut theory explains
how these gods were probably
466
00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:09,189
extraterrestrials and put their genetic
marker on this beast, but that beast
467
00:38:09,190 --> 00:38:13,309
would still exist and probably went on
its own evolutionary path to be the
468
00:38:13,310 --> 00:38:15,600
Bigfoot and the Sasquatch that we have
today.
469
00:38:16,150 --> 00:38:21,709
Do ancient accounts of such human -like
beasts, provide further evidence that
470
00:38:21,710 --> 00:38:26,290
this otherworldly being may have really
existed throughout our history.
471
00:38:27,890 --> 00:38:32,349
All cultures across the world, whether
it's South America, Native American
472
00:38:32,350 --> 00:38:39,129
Indians, Europe, Russia, China, Tibet,
Australia, all these nations have
473
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:42,170
legends and tales of giant hairy wild
men.
474
00:38:42,410 --> 00:38:45,450
Now, you know, people say, well, legends
are just legends.
475
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:50,499
But when you have cultures and countries
separated by oceans, all talking about
476
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:55,459
very similar things. To me, this does
suggest that in times past, these things
477
00:38:55,460 --> 00:38:58,660
were very, very prevalent and widespread
across the world.
478
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,960
Legends of giants were common in the
ancient world.
479
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:12,179
But similar stories emerged much later
with Viking explorer Leif Erikson, who
480
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:18,420
the 10th century AD wrote of horrible,
ugly, hairy creatures with dark eyes.
481
00:39:18,421 --> 00:39:24,499
Leif Erikson was familiar with the
different types of tribes and indigenous
482
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:29,799
people. Now, he spoke very specifically
about these large, hairy creatures with
483
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,539
dark eyes and a very specific scent that
they had that stood out from all the
484
00:39:34,540 --> 00:39:38,450
other cultures that they interacted with
on their travels into the New World.
485
00:39:39,620 --> 00:39:43,939
Could these have been the Sasquatch or
Yeti that we speak of today? Very
486
00:39:43,940 --> 00:39:44,990
possibly.
487
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,379
But could all these similar accounts
found throughout history and around the
488
00:39:51,380 --> 00:39:56,480
world be proof that Bigfoot is more than
just myth?
489
00:39:59,420 --> 00:40:05,120
And is there any evidence that its
origins lie not on Earth, but in the
490
00:40:07,420 --> 00:40:11,979
There are a number of cases on record
where Bigfoot has been seen in the same
491
00:40:11,980 --> 00:40:15,780
precise time frame as UFO activity has
been reported.
492
00:40:19,210 --> 00:40:24,429
For example, there was a big wave of UFO
activity in Pennsylvania in the early
493
00:40:24,430 --> 00:40:29,769
1970s, and people were actually
reporting these large, shadowy,
494
00:40:29,770 --> 00:40:31,880
-like creatures walking out of the
woods.
495
00:40:34,590 --> 00:40:39,549
In Texas, there's a road known locally
as Ghost Light Road, and it's called
496
00:40:39,550 --> 00:40:43,369
Ghost Light Road because people see
these weird balls of light flying
497
00:40:43,370 --> 00:40:44,420
the woods.
498
00:40:46,170 --> 00:40:51,289
Coincidentally, people also have
reported huge numbers of Bigfoot -type
499
00:40:51,290 --> 00:40:53,010
in these very same woods.
500
00:40:58,870 --> 00:41:00,490
Bigfoot are intelligent.
501
00:41:00,850 --> 00:41:04,609
They're very, very secretive and very,
very hidden. They're able to skirt
502
00:41:04,610 --> 00:41:10,649
civilization. Perhaps they do have some
sort of extra ability that allow them to
503
00:41:10,650 --> 00:41:13,430
do this. And if so, where do those
abilities come from?
504
00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:20,589
We can't factor out that possibly
Bigfoot are somehow an extraterrestrial
505
00:41:20,590 --> 00:41:21,640
species.
506
00:41:24,170 --> 00:41:31,049
Back in 1980, I had been investigating a
lot of animal mutilations, and I get a
507
00:41:31,050 --> 00:41:36,969
letter from a man up in Snohomish,
Washington, famous for the Sasquatch or
508
00:41:36,970 --> 00:41:43,690
Bigfoot sightings, who said, I was out
at my father's place.
509
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:50,250
And I hear a sound in the trees as if
wind has come in.
510
00:41:50,530 --> 00:41:54,970
With the trees starting to move comes
the silver disc.
511
00:41:56,570 --> 00:42:00,930
And then he sees a beam come down to the
ground.
512
00:42:01,210 --> 00:42:08,030
In the beam is a tall, shaggy primate
looking. He said it looked like a
513
00:42:08,250 --> 00:42:12,850
Comes down to the bottom and the tall
creature.
514
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,620
walks by as if he doesn't exist.
515
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:22,300
The next thing, animal mutilations are
reported within a few days.
516
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:34,919
If Bigfoot creatures are aligned with
extraterrestrial beings, as ancient
517
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:40,499
astronaut theorists believe, what might
be the purpose of their presence on this
518
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:41,550
planet?
519
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,939
And might the worldwide sightings be
part of a clandestine program that has
520
00:42:46,940 --> 00:42:48,960
going on for thousands of years?
521
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,099
Bigfoot could have been brought here,
you know, to sort of, let's put it in
522
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:56,840
alongside the natives and see what
happens.
523
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,459
There are stories of the star people
coming down and releasing these Bigfoot
524
00:43:02,460 --> 00:43:04,320
-type creatures into the wilderness.
525
00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:08,699
Of course, you have to wonder what
prompted those stories. And that's why
526
00:43:08,700 --> 00:43:12,799
are researchers out there who do believe
that Bigfoot is, if you like, an animal
527
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,020
born on another world.
528
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:21,659
One idea is that these are entities that
have been dropped down here as part of
529
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:22,710
a research project.
530
00:43:24,860 --> 00:43:30,839
Another idea is that the Bigfoot
creatures perhaps were criminals or some
531
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,950
type of undesirable from an alien
planet.
532
00:43:33,260 --> 00:43:34,980
that have been left on our world.
533
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:45,199
If extraterrestrials did create a race
of Bigfoot creatures thousands of years
534
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:50,959
in the past, as ancient astronaut
theorists believe, might they have had a
535
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,340
reason for keeping them hidden from us?
536
00:43:55,020 --> 00:44:00,739
Perhaps further clues can be uncovered
by examining another elusive and even
537
00:44:00,740 --> 00:44:02,580
more sinister cryptid race.
538
00:44:03,260 --> 00:44:05,500
known as the reptilians.
539
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,319
One group of cryptids that are reported
a lot in modern times are the
540
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,819
reptilians. But they're usually not
thought of as monsters. They're thought
541
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:20,010
as an intelligent alien species, like
the Nordics or the Greys.
542
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,620
Dozens of alleged alien abductees have
reported encountering reptilians.
543
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:29,739
Yeah, and in fact, in ancient India, in
the Vedic texts, they describe beings
544
00:44:29,740 --> 00:44:34,379
like that called the Nagas. But that is
not the only culture that talks about
545
00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:38,779
these creatures. Right, and there are
some reports that the reptilians are
546
00:44:38,780 --> 00:44:40,820
to disguise themselves as humans.
547
00:44:41,180 --> 00:44:46,420
We talked about all this in a 2014
episode called The Reptilians.
548
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,080
Bishop Bill, South Carolina.
549
00:44:53,870 --> 00:44:55,270
June 1988,
550
00:44:55,990 --> 00:44:57,070
2 a .m.
551
00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:04,509
17 -year -old Christopher Davis had
pulled over on a deserted road near
552
00:45:04,510 --> 00:45:06,630
Ore Swamp to fix a flat tire.
553
00:45:07,170 --> 00:45:10,490
Just as he finished, he heard a noise
behind him.
554
00:45:10,970 --> 00:45:16,569
He saw a strange 7 -foot -tall creature
with red glowing eyes running towards
555
00:45:16,570 --> 00:45:17,620
him.
556
00:45:18,830 --> 00:45:22,970
Davis started to drive away, but the
creature caught up with him.
557
00:45:23,450 --> 00:45:25,210
and jumped on the roof of the car.
558
00:45:27,290 --> 00:45:32,329
Swerving hard to throw the creature off,
he saw it had three fingers and green
559
00:45:32,330 --> 00:45:33,380
skin.
560
00:45:35,130 --> 00:45:39,310
Finally, it fell from the car, and Davis
sped away.
561
00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:43,550
And he ended up getting out of where he
was, and he went immediately home.
562
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:48,470
He was so upset that his parents called
the police department.
563
00:45:48,471 --> 00:45:52,699
Sheriff Liston Truesdale actually went
out there and interviewed him. He asked
564
00:45:52,700 --> 00:45:56,139
him to take a lie detector test, and
this young boy passed the lie detector
565
00:45:56,140 --> 00:45:57,190
with flying colors.
566
00:45:57,940 --> 00:46:02,600
What Christopher Davis told the
detective he saw was a lizard man.
567
00:46:03,780 --> 00:46:08,280
And what's interesting is that the
police took the story very, very
568
00:46:09,620 --> 00:46:13,719
Although Christopher Davis' sighting of
the lizard man was certainly the most
569
00:46:13,720 --> 00:46:16,940
famous and infamous one, it's not the
only one.
570
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,679
They tracked down a number of other
witnesses who both previously and after
571
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:23,730
seen the lizard man.
572
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:33,839
In the spring of 1988, a crop duster
named Frank Mitchell reported seeing
573
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:39,819
he said was a lizard man cross his
grassy runway one morning as he was
574
00:46:39,820 --> 00:46:40,870
take off.
575
00:46:42,220 --> 00:46:45,120
And two years later, in 1990...
576
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:50,659
Bertha Blythers and her five children
claimed they nearly hit a lizard -like
577
00:46:50,660 --> 00:46:52,880
while driving near the same swamp.
578
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:59,240
Could these incidents all be related?
579
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,999
Is it merely coincidence that three
separate people on three separate
580
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,860
reported seeing a lizard man near the
skateboard swamp?
581
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,000
Could there possibly be...
582
00:47:12,350 --> 00:47:16,489
another species of life down here,
something we're not aware of, and
583
00:47:16,490 --> 00:47:17,750
interacting with people.
584
00:47:19,090 --> 00:47:24,409
Further sightings of a so -called lizard
man have been reported not only in this
585
00:47:24,410 --> 00:47:29,150
area, but also in Tennessee, Illinois,
and Austria.
586
00:47:30,670 --> 00:47:36,929
In fact, alleged encounters with these
creatures have become so widespread,
587
00:47:36,930 --> 00:47:39,330
are now collectively known by one name.
588
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:41,920
The reptilians.
589
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,659
But could accounts of the reptilians be
more than just the product of overactive
590
00:47:48,660 --> 00:47:49,710
imaginations?
591
00:47:50,660 --> 00:47:53,440
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
592
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:59,399
And as evidence, they point to the
legends of serpent gods that can be
593
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,800
throughout the world.
594
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,260
In South America, Quetzalcoatl...
595
00:48:05,820 --> 00:48:08,800
Kukulkan, they're always referenced as
serpent gods.
596
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:14,240
Even in Japan or ancient China, we have
these dragon emperors and dragon gods.
597
00:48:14,620 --> 00:48:19,099
It's very possible that there was a time
in the past that ancient man was
598
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:24,200
interacting with what appear to be
living serpent beings, a lost reptilian
599
00:48:25,100 --> 00:48:30,060
We can find these stories of serpent
gods all around the world.
600
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,899
I don't mean just, you know, particular
geographic regions, but on every
601
00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:38,000
continent, on virtually every ancient
culture.
602
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:45,099
You have them in India, you have them in
China, in Greece, in England, in
603
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:50,959
South and North America, in Africa. I
mean, it doesn't matter where you go in
604
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:57,959
the world. There are the direct
references to these serpent -like beings
605
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,010
descend from the sky.
606
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:06,700
To me, this is not a figment of the
imagination and certainly not
607
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:16,279
In addition to myths and legends passed
down through oral history, early written
608
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:21,000
texts also speak of serpent beings that
were once present on earth.
609
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,779
The Bible speaks of a reptilian race,
the Seraphim. We read about them in the
610
00:49:26,780 --> 00:49:27,830
book of Isaiah.
611
00:49:27,831 --> 00:49:31,659
Some will interpret them as being the
fiery ones, but the correct
612
00:49:31,660 --> 00:49:33,340
is reptilian.
613
00:49:35,980 --> 00:49:40,480
There's always been knowledge of the
reptilians.
614
00:49:41,260 --> 00:49:44,720
Some are good, others bad.
615
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:53,179
Religious texts tell of reptilian beings
whose existence is inexorably linked to
616
00:49:53,180 --> 00:49:55,360
that of the earth and humankind.
617
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:02,019
So, for example, in the Bible, the book
of Genesis has a story about a serpent
618
00:50:02,020 --> 00:50:07,839
who tempts. Eve, the first woman, by
offering her the forbidden fruit from
619
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:08,819
tree of knowledge.
620
00:50:08,820 --> 00:50:14,719
Eve falls for the snake blandishments
and she eats of that apple and forever
621
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:19,359
changes human history, causing Adam and
Eve to be expelled from the Garden of
622
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:25,439
Eden and causing the serpent too to be
punished in that he is doomed to slither
623
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:30,060
upon the ground as a punishment for his
disobeying God's will.
624
00:50:32,170 --> 00:50:37,869
It is understood in ancient legend that
prior to God punishing the serpent, the
625
00:50:37,870 --> 00:50:43,669
serpent was completely humanoid in
character. And that this serpent, this
626
00:50:43,670 --> 00:50:50,169
Nahash, was only one of a race of
reptilian beings
627
00:50:50,170 --> 00:50:51,690
who served God.
628
00:50:52,730 --> 00:50:58,049
When you hear that story from a modern
perspective, it sounds an awful lot like
629
00:50:58,050 --> 00:51:00,410
what people describe as the reptilians.
630
00:51:00,970 --> 00:51:06,690
lizard -like beings or beings with the
faces or visage of a viper.
631
00:51:11,130 --> 00:51:16,849
But if the serpent in the Garden of Eden
really was a reptilian alien, as
632
00:51:16,850 --> 00:51:22,249
ancient astronaut theorists suggest,
could there be similar stories recorded
633
00:51:22,250 --> 00:51:24,890
the ancient texts of other cultures as
well?
634
00:51:25,390 --> 00:51:28,050
In the Quran, there's a fascinating
category.
635
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,520
of creatures known as the jinn.
636
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,020
The jinn are ancient. They were here
before humans.
637
00:51:36,420 --> 00:51:39,260
They're a category unto themselves, not
unlike angels.
638
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:45,959
And at one point, Iblis, the leader of
the jinn, offended God, crossed him, was
639
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:51,099
rebellious, and was cursed like the
serpents in the Garden of Eden and
640
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:54,780
earthbound, trapped on earth for
eternity, and they are here with us.
641
00:51:54,781 --> 00:52:00,319
Throughout the Mediterranean and the
Near East, there is a very strong belief
642
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,260
linking snakes,
643
00:52:03,220 --> 00:52:10,159
skinks, lizards, and other reptiles to
supernatural or magical creatures, and
644
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,100
some cases to the souls of ancestors.
645
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:18,619
So it can be considered bad luck to kill
one of these beings if you find it in
646
00:52:18,620 --> 00:52:23,479
the home, because it might be a djinn or
another kind of supernatural creature
647
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,560
that is visiting you.
648
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,620
The Djinn, Kukulkan, the serpent in the
Garden of Eden.
649
00:52:33,220 --> 00:52:38,359
Could all of these stories about
otherworldly serpent beings able to
650
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,760
humanity be based on fact?
651
00:52:42,980 --> 00:52:48,559
And if they have been part of human
history for thousands of years, where do
652
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:49,610
they come from?
653
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,840
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe
the answer can be found.
654
00:52:55,370 --> 00:52:58,990
by looking back not thousands of years,
but millions.
655
00:53:03,230 --> 00:53:06,050
Ottawa, Ontario, 1982.
656
00:53:08,190 --> 00:53:13,789
At the National Museum of Canada,
paleontologist and curator of vertebrate
657
00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:19,829
fossils, Dale Russell, publishes a
thought experiment based on the trend
658
00:53:19,830 --> 00:53:23,390
larger brain sizes and the upright
posture of dinosaurs.
659
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:31,079
He proposes a theory about what one
species of dinosaur would have evolved
660
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:35,840
if it had survived the mass extinction
65 million years ago.
661
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:41,619
What he did is take the dinosaur known
as Truodon. They noticed the
662
00:53:41,620 --> 00:53:46,499
morphological changes in the skeletal
structure of the dinosaur. And based on
663
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:49,720
over time where it was going, they
extrapolated it out further.
664
00:53:49,721 --> 00:53:54,719
Strangely enough, or wonderfully enough,
they actually came up with a model that
665
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:59,939
resembled a humanoid reptilian being,
which actually matched that of the
666
00:53:59,940 --> 00:54:03,260
that we were hearing now, as well as
reports from ancient history.
667
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:07,379
So for me, this was one of the most
compelling pieces of information where
668
00:54:07,380 --> 00:54:09,660
science actually says it is possible.
669
00:54:11,380 --> 00:54:15,339
The dinos hadn't died out. This would
have become what he called the
670
00:54:15,340 --> 00:54:17,960
dinosauroid, an upright standing...
671
00:54:18,220 --> 00:54:22,919
semi -humanoid, semi -reptilian entity,
what we might call a reptoid. He thought
672
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,199
it might stand four to five feet high,
weigh about 90 pounds, and have a fairly
673
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:28,250
advanced brain.
674
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,640
Now, did this entity ever come into
existence?
675
00:54:32,820 --> 00:54:36,260
What if some of the dinosaurs didn't
become extinct?
676
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,559
What if they managed to survive the
global extinction or presumed extinction
677
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:46,919
million years ago and over time some of
them developed through natural selection
678
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:53,239
and they grew smaller, they became more
intelligent, they became more adept and
679
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:57,320
adaptive and took on a humanoid form.
680
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:02,820
We necessarily shouldn't think that the
reptilians are extraterrestrials.
681
00:55:03,310 --> 00:55:07,229
Perhaps in some strange way there are
forefathers, albeit from millions and
682
00:55:07,230 --> 00:55:08,750
millions of years in the past.
683
00:55:10,630 --> 00:55:16,369
If the reptilians do exist, could they
be the descendants of dinosaurs that
684
00:55:16,370 --> 00:55:18,690
walked the Earth millions of years ago?
685
00:55:22,050 --> 00:55:27,089
Our concept of dinosaurs is changing all
the time, of course, and nowadays we're
686
00:55:27,090 --> 00:55:31,889
making so many new discoveries every
year that we're reinterpreting them in
687
00:55:31,890 --> 00:55:32,940
ways.
688
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:38,139
Certainly, if you look 20, 30 years
back, there were so many things that
689
00:55:38,140 --> 00:55:41,640
been found and so many other things we
know now.
690
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,199
Particularly, I think it's been very
important and that nowadays is
691
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:51,639
very well accepted, the idea that
dinosaurs are not extinct, that
692
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:56,200
essentially evolved into birds and that
they're alive today.
693
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:00,000
And now that we know...
694
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,199
that not all the dinosaurs died out and
as a matter of fact some survived to
695
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,999
become birds warm -blooded birds mind
you from a dinosaur which is considered
696
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:14,899
reptile and cold -blooded we're
recognizing that even if these are birds
697
00:56:14,900 --> 00:56:19,119
didn't recognize them now as being part
of the dinosaur family what could these
698
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:24,379
other pockets that have survived the
devastation 65 million years ago could
699
00:56:24,380 --> 00:56:29,979
have evolved parallel to mankind and in
hidden cavern systems, and could they be
700
00:56:29,980 --> 00:56:34,939
actually the beings that we think are
extraterrestrial, but are actually our
701
00:56:34,940 --> 00:56:36,200
terrestrial neighbors?
702
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:42,199
Paleontologists generally argue that the
dinosaurs died out totally 65 million
703
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,479
years ago. I think it's certainly within
the realm of feasibility that some
704
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:51,040
found an ecological niche to survive in,
and may even exist today.
705
00:56:52,780 --> 00:56:58,099
And I point out that while we hear UFO
abductees talking about little greys and
706
00:56:58,100 --> 00:57:03,279
tall humanoids, a minority of them do
report encounters with what we would
707
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:09,980
reptoids. So it's possible that on some
planet, if not Earth, somewhere else,
708
00:57:10,060 --> 00:57:12,120
they evolved from dinosaurs.
709
00:57:13,620 --> 00:57:19,539
To find another place in the universe
that was so rich with resources and so
710
00:57:19,540 --> 00:57:25,049
capable of supporting life, was probably
a very exciting discovery for
711
00:57:25,050 --> 00:57:28,590
extraterrestrial visitors to Earth in
our prehistory.
712
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:36,029
In their eyes, this could have been the
place they could colonize or perhaps act
713
00:57:36,030 --> 00:57:40,749
as a working environment for experiments
they were doing with new species they
714
00:57:40,750 --> 00:57:41,950
were trying to engineer.
715
00:57:44,310 --> 00:57:50,170
Maybe they manipulated dinosaur DNA to
favor certain mutations.
716
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:56,319
by playing with certain mutations in the
genes of dinosaurs, highly advanced
717
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:01,759
extraterrestrials, through genetic
modification, may have been able to
718
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,980
course of dinosaur evolution to favor
the rise of mammals.
719
00:58:06,380 --> 00:58:12,579
Is it possible celestial travelers
manipulated the DNA of reptiles and
720
00:58:12,580 --> 00:58:15,660
on Earth as ancient astronaut theorists
believe?
721
00:58:16,980 --> 00:58:22,159
And could one of their experiments have
resulted in a reptilian -human hybrid
722
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:23,210
species.
723
00:58:24,660 --> 00:58:29,620
It's very possible that the reptilian
agenda extends well into our history.
724
00:58:29,820 --> 00:58:34,779
We really don't know the full record of
dinosaurs on our planet, since dinosaurs
725
00:58:34,780 --> 00:58:36,340
were here for millions of years.
726
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:42,439
Many of these references to a current
reptilian race or an ancient serpent
727
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:47,099
that was worshipped by various cultures
could be an offshoot, a genetic
728
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:50,460
variation of dinosaurs that naturally
evolved here on Earth.
729
00:58:54,060 --> 00:58:59,339
Could Earth really be home to human
-like reptiles that are an evolutionary
730
00:58:59,340 --> 00:59:01,020
offshoot of dinosaurs?
731
00:59:02,940 --> 00:59:09,049
Some researchers suggest there might be
an even more profound explanation behind
732
00:59:09,050 --> 00:59:10,630
the so -called reptilians.
733
00:59:12,030 --> 00:59:18,029
One that may be revealed by exploring
encounters with strange entities at a
734
00:59:18,030 --> 00:59:23,770
mysterious site in the American
Southwest known as Skinwalker Ranch.
735
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:32,019
If you're looking for evidence of
cryptids, look no further than
736
00:59:32,020 --> 00:59:33,300
Ranch in Utah.
737
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,480
I mean, that place is famous for modern
UFO activity.
738
00:59:36,780 --> 00:59:42,019
However, people have been reporting
strange encounters with very bizarre
739
00:59:42,020 --> 00:59:43,740
creatures for decades.
740
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:48,639
Right. And our own Dr. Travis Taylor has
been investigating the bizarre
741
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,500
phenomenon there since 2019.
742
00:59:50,501 --> 00:59:54,599
And William, you had a chance to visit
the ranch recently yourself.
743
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,300
I did. It is a powerfully strange place.
744
00:59:57,580 --> 01:00:01,559
And one of the theories about why
there's so much anomalous activity there
745
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,170
because it's thought to be the location
of an interdimensional portal.
746
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,180
Uintah County, Utah.
747
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:17,759
Nestled in a deep valley, surrounded by
some of the highest mountain peaks in
748
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:18,810
North America.
749
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:24,180
is an infamous 512 -acre patch of land
known as Skinwalker Ranch.
750
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:31,999
The native Utes warn of a dark presence
that exists in this area, where strange
751
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:38,240
sightings in the sky, encounters with
terrifying creatures, animal
752
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,160
and numerous other paranormal activities
have been reported for centuries.
753
01:00:44,340 --> 01:00:48,200
Skinwalker Ranch has become this nexus
of activity.
754
01:00:48,830 --> 01:00:51,060
where people are reporting strange
things.
755
01:00:52,270 --> 01:00:58,629
It's in an area in Utah that's very much
like a desert terrain, and what's there
756
01:00:58,630 --> 01:01:01,230
now is high desert prairie kind of area.
757
01:01:02,690 --> 01:01:07,210
Now, what it actually is and what's
going on there is a whole other
758
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:13,759
It's a very unique place in the world
where the phenomenon expresses itself in
759
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:18,819
dramatic form. It's also the most
scientifically studied UFO or paranormal
760
01:01:18,820 --> 01:01:20,480
hotspot in history.
761
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:27,799
Native American legends say that there
has been an otherworldly presence at
762
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,480
Skinwalker Ranch for as long as humans
have existed in the area, which,
763
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,520
according to archaeological evidence, is
at least 10 ,000 years.
764
01:01:37,740 --> 01:01:43,319
And the very first European settlers to
pass through this land in the late 1700s
765
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:48,560
had their own bizarre experiences, which
they recorded in their journals.
766
01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:54,879
The first Europeans to cross the Uinta
Basin, the Franciscan monks, reported
767
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,519
seeing things over their campfires at
night, really weird objects that we
768
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,519
call UFOs. The Native Americans, the
indigenous tribes have been there, have
769
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,320
these experiences for generations.
770
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:09,139
It has... For as long as humans have
lived there, it's been the site of
771
01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:12,960
paranormal activity, strange things in
the sky, UFOs.
772
01:02:13,860 --> 01:02:18,779
There are so many stories about
Skinwalker Ranch that range from cattle
773
01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:20,300
mutilations going on.
774
01:02:20,580 --> 01:02:24,120
There are stories that if you dig on the
property, you'll get sick.
775
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:29,820
Even strange stories of cloaked beasts
running out of the woods.
776
01:02:31,470 --> 01:02:37,509
You've seen UFOs. They have seen
different creatures. They have seen
777
01:02:37,510 --> 01:02:42,729
things happening up in the sky. So you
have all these different phenomena that
778
01:02:42,730 --> 01:02:47,629
happen on that ranch. So some have
referred to it as a veritable Disneyland
779
01:02:47,630 --> 01:02:48,680
the paranormal.
780
01:02:49,830 --> 01:02:54,849
The most notorious of the paranormal
phenomena associated with Skinwalker
781
01:02:54,850 --> 01:02:57,790
is the creature for which the property
is named.
782
01:02:58,570 --> 01:03:03,329
the association of the skinwalker with
this mysterious plot of land can be
783
01:03:03,330 --> 01:03:05,730
traced back to the mid -19th century.
784
01:03:09,550 --> 01:03:16,529
In January of 1864, land disputes
between Navajos, Utes, and the
785
01:03:16,530 --> 01:03:21,470
United States military in Utah and
Arizona reached a fateful tipping point.
786
01:03:22,410 --> 01:03:27,970
After decades of conflict, the military
removed the Navajo people from the area.
787
01:03:28,570 --> 01:03:32,870
forcing them to make what became known
as the Long Walk to New Mexico.
788
01:03:33,950 --> 01:03:38,090
The Navajos blamed the Utes for helping
the military.
789
01:03:39,290 --> 01:03:45,229
And so they cursed the land that the
Utes lived on up there. And it must have
790
01:03:45,230 --> 01:03:49,509
been a pretty strong curse, because even
today there are really interesting
791
01:03:49,510 --> 01:03:51,010
things that happen up there.
792
01:03:52,390 --> 01:03:56,889
Cursing the land, the Navajo witch
doctors attempted to conjure an entity
793
01:03:56,890 --> 01:03:57,940
called...
794
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:06,959
The skinwalkers, they're sort of
typically six to seven feet tall, very
795
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,010
dangerous.
796
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,900
It's described as being wolf -like, but
walking on two limbs.
797
01:04:14,180 --> 01:04:18,560
So inevitably, it sort of provokes
imagery of a werewolf.
798
01:04:19,940 --> 01:04:23,880
The subject of skinwalkers is as serious
as a heart attack.
799
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,520
This is not something to trifle with.
800
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,900
Even talking about them puts me in some
danger.
801
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:35,380
The skinwalker is somebody who is evil.
802
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:43,199
They want to control people,
communities, regions, and have that
803
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,180
people. And they do this by fear.
804
01:04:47,020 --> 01:04:49,700
The youths to this day are very
respectful.
805
01:04:49,900 --> 01:04:54,219
They're very mindful. Matter of fact,
they stand at arm's length from the
806
01:04:54,220 --> 01:04:55,270
skinwalker ranch.
807
01:04:55,610 --> 01:05:00,389
They firmly believe that this ground is
cursed and that not only are you in a
808
01:05:00,390 --> 01:05:04,929
basin, but this concentration of this
phenomenon, this host, is on the
809
01:05:04,930 --> 01:05:05,980
Skinwalker Ranch.
810
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:12,769
Could a monster known as the Skinwalker
really stalk the grounds of Skinwalker
811
01:05:12,770 --> 01:05:13,820
Ranch?
812
01:05:14,230 --> 01:05:18,330
And if so, was it conjured up by Navajo
witch doctors?
813
01:05:19,130 --> 01:05:24,650
Or is it connected to the paranormal and
perhaps otherworldly activity?
814
01:05:25,530 --> 01:05:28,240
that has been reported on the property
for centuries.
815
01:05:30,390 --> 01:05:34,929
Investigative journalist George Knapp
was one of the first reporters to expose
816
01:05:34,930 --> 01:05:40,509
the strange stories at Skinwalker Ranch
back in the mid -1990s when he conducted
817
01:05:40,510 --> 01:05:45,049
extensive interviews with the Shermans,
the family of ranchers that owned the
818
01:05:45,050 --> 01:05:46,100
property.
819
01:05:47,010 --> 01:05:51,309
This guy shows up one day while the
ranching family is still there. He's
820
01:05:51,310 --> 01:05:53,750
like Grizzly Adams, big burly guy with a
beard.
821
01:05:53,751 --> 01:05:59,039
He said he'd been drawn to the property,
and he talks to the rancher and says, I
822
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,319
just need to meditate for a couple of
minutes. I'm drawn here. I need to do
823
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,160
this. Can you let me on the property?
824
01:06:06,140 --> 01:06:10,719
The rancher kind of bemusedly says,
okay, come on in. He lets the guy in.
825
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,419
rancher and his son escort him to the
middle homestead, and the rancher and
826
01:06:14,420 --> 01:06:17,730
son are watching the guy and just kind
of chuckling to themselves.
827
01:06:17,731 --> 01:06:21,379
They hear this thing in the brush, and
then they look over, and there's
828
01:06:21,380 --> 01:06:22,430
something moving.
829
01:06:24,460 --> 01:06:27,520
And it comes out of the brush, right up
to where this guy is.
830
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,999
And it looked like the creature in
Predator, with the camouflage, the
831
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,360
camouflage, the invisibility technology.
832
01:06:35,740 --> 01:06:38,380
This thing comes right up to this guy
and roars.
833
01:06:41,300 --> 01:06:45,640
Scares the hell out of this guy. Opens
his eyes, flies back, lands on his back.
834
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,090
The rancher and his son go rushing over
to him.
835
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,760
He's petrified. Grabbing him won't let
go.
836
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,410
They escort him off the property and he
swears that the devil, it's Satan,
837
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,650
you're going to burn for this kind of
stuff.
838
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:03,859
Is it possible that the terrifying
creature witnessed by both the ranchers
839
01:07:03,860 --> 01:07:07,920
their mysterious visitor was what the
Navajo call a skinwalker?
840
01:07:09,260 --> 01:07:11,360
Was it a being from another world?
841
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:14,640
Even another dimension?
842
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:21,019
Such stories have inspired countless
curiosity seekers to make pilgrimages to
843
01:07:21,020 --> 01:07:22,070
the ranch.
844
01:07:23,220 --> 01:07:27,419
But for those who have lived and worked
there, like current ranch superintendent
845
01:07:27,420 --> 01:07:32,840
Tom Winterton, Skinwalker Ranch is not a
place to be taken lightly.
846
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:38,879
I had been warned not to dig on this
ranch, which I thought was absolutely
847
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:39,930
ridiculous.
848
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,480
It's a ranch, for crying out loud.
849
01:07:42,740 --> 01:07:45,520
That's what you do. You dig fence holes.
You dig ditches.
850
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:52,079
And so I paid zero attention to it. And
whether it's related or not, I ended up
851
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:59,019
getting the severe head injury that
causes my head to swell up. I had fluid
852
01:07:59,020 --> 01:08:03,379
that separated the fatty tissue from my
skull. And to this day, my doctors still
853
01:08:03,380 --> 01:08:06,460
haven't come up with an explanation of
what happened.
854
01:08:07,180 --> 01:08:11,760
What they did say was that what happened
to me just was not medically possible.
855
01:08:11,761 --> 01:08:15,579
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that
there are things that have happened here
856
01:08:15,580 --> 01:08:17,020
that have shaken me to my core.
857
01:08:18,819 --> 01:08:23,540
When we patrol the perimeter of the
place, both on foot and with our
858
01:08:23,859 --> 01:08:26,220
we are heavily armed.
859
01:08:27,620 --> 01:08:33,799
And that's not necessarily because we're
looking to hurt anybody. It's more
860
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:38,020
of... We don't know what we're dealing
with, and it's a dangerous place.
861
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,080
Morning. Hey, Caleb. How you doing, man?
862
01:08:40,300 --> 01:08:44,560
Between the natural things that are here
and then also the unknown.
863
01:08:45,979 --> 01:08:51,659
What could possibly explain so many
incredible encounters being reported on
864
01:08:51,660 --> 01:08:58,499
single 512 -acre stretch of land and by
multiple groups of people over a
865
01:08:58,500 --> 01:09:00,240
span of hundreds of years?
866
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:06,210
To the many accounts of UFOs, point to
an extraterrestrial connection.
867
01:09:07,649 --> 01:09:12,869
Perhaps further clues can be found by
more closely examining the stories of
868
01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:18,549
Skinwalker and its connection to a
supernatural creature thought to have
869
01:09:18,550 --> 01:09:20,770
vanished from the Earth long ago.
870
01:09:26,510 --> 01:09:28,189
Fort Duchesne, Utah.
871
01:09:30,370 --> 01:09:31,420
1968.
872
01:09:33,129 --> 01:09:38,568
17 -year -old Larry Sespooch is with his
friends, driving along an infamous
873
01:09:38,569 --> 01:09:40,830
stretch of road near Skinwalker Ranch.
874
01:09:42,529 --> 01:09:47,829
As they approach a spot known as Dead
Man's Curve, named for the high number
875
01:09:47,830 --> 01:09:51,930
car crashes that have occurred there,
they spot a bright object in the sky.
876
01:09:53,410 --> 01:09:58,850
We were driving around with a bunch of
us, and we come around Dead Man's Curve,
877
01:10:01,230 --> 01:10:06,350
The driver looked in his rearview mirror
and said, oh, what the heck is that?
878
01:10:07,250 --> 01:10:13,969
It was a fireball, and that fireball was
coming up behind us. And so we told
879
01:10:13,970 --> 01:10:18,570
him to go faster, and this thing just
flew over our head.
880
01:10:20,490 --> 01:10:26,149
When I told my mother, she had talked
about a similar incident when she was
881
01:10:26,150 --> 01:10:27,200
younger.
882
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,020
and other tribal members have seen that
fireball.
883
01:10:32,460 --> 01:10:37,419
Other reports indicate that the local
residents have been regularly witnessing
884
01:10:37,420 --> 01:10:42,720
similar strange events, both in and
around Skinwalker Ranch, for decades.
885
01:10:44,060 --> 01:10:50,260
The various accounts describe flashing
lights, floating orbs, and UFOs.
886
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:57,259
In this entire area, and there have been
hundreds of reports of UFOs, you know,
887
01:10:57,260 --> 01:10:59,080
multiple people seeing the same one.
888
01:10:59,380 --> 01:11:03,639
This particular part of the area has
kind of gotten the nickname of UFO Alley
889
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:07,520
because of the number of those sightings
that have been reported.
890
01:11:08,780 --> 01:11:14,020
We did see tears. We had openings in the
sky, voices, craft coming through,
891
01:11:14,140 --> 01:11:17,820
orbs. Is that E .T.? Hard to say.
892
01:11:18,060 --> 01:11:20,880
Reality of the events is absolute.
893
01:11:22,470 --> 01:11:27,929
I have personally watched as portions of
the mesa as large as 500 to 600 feet
894
01:11:27,930 --> 01:11:29,670
appear to glow.
895
01:11:30,530 --> 01:11:35,149
We may be looking at a terrestrial light
source, or we may be looking at
896
01:11:35,150 --> 01:11:36,850
something far more interesting.
897
01:11:38,550 --> 01:11:44,449
In the 1990s, the owners of Skinwalker
Ranch also witnessed strange orbs in the
898
01:11:44,450 --> 01:11:45,500
sky.
899
01:11:46,330 --> 01:11:51,490
When they relayed their experiences to
George Knapp, he found that the UFOs,
900
01:11:51,710 --> 01:11:55,390
were tied to the other paranormal
activity taking place on the property.
901
01:11:58,050 --> 01:12:02,490
They start hearing heavy footsteps
outside their bedroom window at night.
902
01:12:02,890 --> 01:12:06,620
Then they start seeing these dark
humanoid shapes in the windows at night.
903
01:12:07,750 --> 01:12:10,580
Then they start hearing the footsteps
inside the house.
904
01:12:13,230 --> 01:12:16,900
Then they wake up at night and there's
the thing at the bottom of their bed.
905
01:12:18,251 --> 01:12:25,959
They would go out at night, they walk
around, they start hearing disembodied
906
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:31,499
voices in the sky above their heads,
speaking some strange language, almost
907
01:12:31,500 --> 01:12:35,079
mocking them. They start seeing little
orbs floating around, seemingly
908
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,030
intelligently controlled, floating
around in the trees.
909
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:44,419
Is it possible that reports of floating
orbs, poltergeist activity, and the
910
01:12:44,420 --> 01:12:47,820
creature known as the skinwalker are not
separate phenomena?
911
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,820
Might they be better understood by
considering them all together?
912
01:12:57,460 --> 01:13:02,679
Another story told to George Knapp by
the Shermans may reveal yet another
913
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,780
to the Skinwalker Ranch mystery.
914
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:11,219
The first day they're on the property,
they see an animal of some sort over on
915
01:13:11,220 --> 01:13:13,690
the brush line, and it starts coming
toward them.
916
01:13:14,580 --> 01:13:16,400
And then you realize, that's a wolf.
917
01:13:16,401 --> 01:13:17,679
It's huge.
918
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,330
The back of the wolf came up to the
middle of his chest.
919
01:13:21,740 --> 01:13:24,510
They petted this thing. It was a real
physical creature.
920
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,740
Now, the calves are in the corral.
They're all backed up against one side,
921
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:34,599
scared of this wolf, except one calf
makes the mistake of sticking his snout
922
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,200
between the bars of the corral.
923
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:43,939
The wolf sees it, leaps in the air like
20 feet, chomps down on the head of this
924
01:13:43,940 --> 01:13:46,290
calf, and is trying to drag it out of
the corral.
925
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,320
His son grabs a .357 out of the truck.
926
01:13:49,900 --> 01:13:52,540
And brings it over. Dad pops a shot into
this wolf.
927
01:13:53,860 --> 01:13:57,600
No yelp, no blood, no anything. Shoots
it a second and third time.
928
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:03,059
Now this is a fourth shot they put into
this wolf. And then a fifth shot goes
929
01:14:03,060 --> 01:14:07,599
right into the chest. A chunk of flesh
and fur comes popping off the side and
930
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:08,639
falls on the ground.
931
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,759
And this wolf just casually turns around
and starts walking away. He's had
932
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:13,810
enough.
933
01:14:13,980 --> 01:14:16,300
Five shots in this thing and didn't kill
it.
934
01:14:16,810 --> 01:14:21,689
The Shermans say they pursued the wolf
into the brush, following its tracks on
935
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:22,740
the wet ground.
936
01:14:22,910 --> 01:14:26,590
They get to a clearing beyond the brush,
a muddy area.
937
01:14:27,050 --> 01:14:30,670
The tracks go all the way out into the
middle of the muddy field and stop.
938
01:14:32,270 --> 01:14:33,320
It's gone.
939
01:14:33,650 --> 01:14:35,820
It's as if it had been sucked up into
the sky.
940
01:14:37,570 --> 01:14:42,069
Later, when the Shermans told this story
to a group of scientists that had come
941
01:14:42,070 --> 01:14:45,610
to investigate the ranch, they were
shown a series of photographs.
942
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,470
and asked if any of them resembled the
animal they encountered.
943
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,239
They have a lineup of different types of
wolves to ask each of the family
944
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,059
members, show us what this looked like.
And the one that they all identified is
945
01:14:59,060 --> 01:15:00,380
what's known as a dire wolf.
946
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,950
Dire wolf, of course, has been extinct
for 10 ,000 years.
947
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:10,039
If a dire wolf is, in fact, what the
Shermans witnessed, could it present
948
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,700
another clue as to what is happening at
Skinwalker Ranch?
949
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,920
Many ancient astronaut theorists believe
the answer is simple.
950
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:25,039
According to them, the ranch most likely
contained some kind of interdimensional
951
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:30,739
portal, one that would allow not only
travel from one dimension to another,
952
01:15:30,740 --> 01:15:33,220
to various points in time and space.
953
01:15:33,740 --> 01:15:39,239
And they also suggest that this
otherworldly connection could account
954
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:43,880
various cryptid life forms, such as the
Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot.
955
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:51,039
reptilian beings, and other elusive
entities that regularly appear and
956
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:52,960
from our reality.
957
01:15:56,660 --> 01:16:01,979
A lot of times when we imagine alien
life forms, we think of them as looking
958
01:16:01,980 --> 01:16:07,940
lot like us. I mean, not exactly like
us, but as an upright humanoid form.
959
01:16:08,380 --> 01:16:12,739
Then again, they may look nothing like
us. Their planet's atmosphere could be
960
01:16:12,740 --> 01:16:16,320
different than ours, the geology, the
gravitational forces.
961
01:16:16,321 --> 01:16:20,279
Yeah, and if you take into consideration
all the cryptids that have been
962
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:25,599
reported since ancient times, it's quite
possible that some of them were of
963
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:26,920
extraterrestrial origin.
964
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:31,620
In fact, we covered this in a 2015
episode called Alien Evolution.
965
01:16:34,940 --> 01:16:36,780
West Virginia, September.
966
01:16:39,870 --> 01:16:46,009
1952. Multiple witnesses report seeing a
strange ball of light shooting across
967
01:16:46,010 --> 01:16:50,070
the night sky and landing in a nearby
wooded area.
968
01:16:55,110 --> 01:17:01,869
Those who investigate the crash site
describe seeing a 10 -foot tall bird
969
01:17:01,870 --> 01:17:04,210
creature with glowing red eyes.
970
01:17:04,780 --> 01:17:10,019
It was this huge humanoid type figure
anywhere from about 10 feet to 12 feet
971
01:17:10,020 --> 01:17:11,070
high.
972
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:18,259
It had these fiery blazing eyes and was
emitting these sparks and flashes
973
01:17:18,260 --> 01:17:19,310
of light.
974
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:26,419
It was described as having a cowl -like
head not unlike an ace of spades card in
975
01:17:26,420 --> 01:17:27,470
a deck of cards.
976
01:17:28,580 --> 01:17:35,359
The entire group was unanimous in their
belief that the object or the creature
977
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:41,379
was utterly real, that it was connected
with the overflight of the strange
978
01:17:41,380 --> 01:17:46,920
light, and it was also connected with
this red pulsating light that they saw.
979
01:17:50,740 --> 01:17:57,060
Curiously, Native American mythology
also describes a similar half -bird,
980
01:17:57,300 --> 01:18:01,040
half -human creature that shared the
planet with mankind.
981
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,260
thousands of years ago.
982
01:18:05,180 --> 01:18:11,459
The Apache had a demonic figure in their
mythology, the giant owl man, who could
983
01:18:11,460 --> 01:18:13,300
petrify you through its gaze.
984
01:18:13,860 --> 01:18:19,819
It was truly a terrifying presence that
could come at any time, particularly in
985
01:18:19,820 --> 01:18:21,820
the night sky when owls fly.
986
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,450
This is a pretty common theme in a lot
of Native American mythology.
987
01:18:26,940 --> 01:18:33,209
There was a time in the past when the
Earth was overrun by pretty scary
988
01:18:33,210 --> 01:18:34,310
of various forms.
989
01:18:35,770 --> 01:18:39,320
And the big owl, or the Owlman, is one
of these sort of representatives.
990
01:18:45,090 --> 01:18:50,969
Might the stories of Owlman and other
strange creatures describe beings that
991
01:18:50,970 --> 01:18:53,070
Native Americans actually encountered?
992
01:18:54,730 --> 01:18:57,410
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
993
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:03,179
and point to similar creation myths from
across the world of gods that resemble
994
01:19:03,180 --> 01:19:09,120
not just anthropomorphic birds, but also
reptiles,
995
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:13,800
insects, and sea creatures.
996
01:19:19,340 --> 01:19:25,199
All around the world, we have figurines
and carvings and paintings, rock
997
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:31,309
paintings. of these very bizarre
creatures that can be found not only on
998
01:19:31,310 --> 01:19:36,430
continent, but once you compare them,
they're also incredibly similar.
999
01:19:37,170 --> 01:19:43,349
So one has to wonder if these figurines
and these statues of these different
1000
01:19:43,350 --> 01:19:49,229
depictions of what they refer to as the
gods, if they're actually rooted in some
1001
01:19:49,230 --> 01:19:50,330
type of reality.
1002
01:19:52,910 --> 01:19:58,169
Did our ancestors really encounter these
intelligent life forms thousands of
1003
01:19:58,170 --> 01:19:59,220
years ago?
1004
01:19:59,290 --> 01:20:02,670
And if so, just what were they?
1005
01:20:08,230 --> 01:20:12,850
Cambridge, Massachusetts, February 2013.
1006
01:20:15,170 --> 01:20:18,890
Analyzing data gathered by NASA's Kepler
Space Telescope.
1007
01:20:19,470 --> 01:20:25,549
astronomers at the Harvard -Smithsonian
Center for Astrophysics announced that 6
1008
01:20:25,550 --> 01:20:30,050
% of all red dwarf stars have habitable
Earth -like planets.
1009
01:20:31,850 --> 01:20:37,409
Because red dwarf stars burn much longer
than our sun, the discovery raises the
1010
01:20:37,410 --> 01:20:42,529
possibility that life on these planets
could be much older and much different
1011
01:20:42,530 --> 01:20:43,750
than life on Earth.
1012
01:20:44,910 --> 01:20:49,109
The environment plays a really pivotal
role in sort of the direction that
1013
01:20:49,110 --> 01:20:50,160
organisms evolve.
1014
01:20:50,161 --> 01:20:53,809
And so you can imagine that evolution
played out on a different planet.
1015
01:20:53,810 --> 01:20:57,709
It might follow the same types of rules
but have completely different end
1016
01:20:57,710 --> 01:21:00,230
products. So it would look completely
different.
1017
01:21:00,850 --> 01:21:05,050
Let's go to any other star with planets
around it.
1018
01:21:05,051 --> 01:21:08,889
Intelligence, it's going to happen
because of crises. It's going to happen
1019
01:21:08,890 --> 01:21:11,930
because you can only survive with that
intelligence.
1020
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:17,099
But it could be from a reptile that we
are a reptile equivalent. It could be
1021
01:21:17,100 --> 01:21:18,150
from a quadruped.
1022
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:22,739
It might be from a mollusk -like
creature. The causes probably could be
1023
01:21:22,740 --> 01:21:25,780
same. The end result, anatomically,
totally different.
1024
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,739
There could be a myriad of different
forms that intelligent life takes
1025
01:21:33,740 --> 01:21:34,880
throughout the cosmos.
1026
01:21:35,020 --> 01:21:39,079
When we look to the earthly record of
otherworldly beings that have visited
1027
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:40,130
Earth,
1028
01:21:41,610 --> 01:21:43,830
They exhibit different characteristics.
1029
01:21:44,350 --> 01:21:48,970
They have bird heads, dog heads,
reptilian -type forms.
1030
01:21:48,971 --> 01:21:53,409
It's possible that these are the forms
that these beings take on their home
1031
01:21:53,410 --> 01:21:57,349
planet, and they might even coexist with
beings that are even different from
1032
01:21:57,350 --> 01:21:58,400
them.
1033
01:22:00,150 --> 01:22:06,070
I think it's unscientific to flat -out
say that any and all cryptids are...
1034
01:22:06,620 --> 01:22:11,619
non -existent because they said the same
thing about the coelacanth extinct does
1035
01:22:11,620 --> 01:22:15,979
not exist and then they found the
coelacanth again Just because you take a
1036
01:22:15,980 --> 01:22:20,639
out of the ocean with water and there is
no shark in the spoon doesn't mean
1037
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,320
there is no sharks in the water.
1038
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:27,899
Well, right. And the oceans are so vast
and deep. I mean, that is really the
1039
01:22:27,900 --> 01:22:30,340
unexplored territory on our planet.
1040
01:22:30,580 --> 01:22:35,159
Absolutely. And, you know, we're only
just beginning to discover, you know,
1041
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:39,879
the creatures and cryptids all over the
world. Well, and then you multiply that
1042
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:43,790
by the possibility that there's beings
perhaps that are beyond the physical.
1043
01:22:43,791 --> 01:22:47,759
Life beings, for example, are beings
living in a different density or a
1044
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,329
different frequency that are still
intelligent life.
