1
00:00:02,436 --> 00:00:06,106
Do I believe that
there is or was life on Mars?

2
00:00:06,207 --> 00:00:07,867
Yes, I'm absolutely certain of it.

3
00:00:07,975 --> 00:00:11,075
There are a lot
of different objects on Mars

4
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,878
that look exactly like sculptures

5
00:00:12,947 --> 00:00:14,507
that human beings make.

6
00:00:14,615 --> 00:00:17,315
We have to ask ourselves

7
00:00:17,418 --> 00:00:19,588
what civilization built this?

8
00:00:19,687 --> 00:00:21,347
And what happened to them?

9
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:24,055
There's no natural phenomenon

10
00:00:24,158 --> 00:00:26,588
that can account for this nuclear data.

11
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:29,194
That is weapon signature.

12
00:00:29,296 --> 00:00:31,726
Going to Mars, it's something

13
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:34,502
we know in somewhere
in the back of our brains

14
00:00:34,602 --> 00:00:37,202
that we have to do or we die.

15
00:00:37,304 --> 00:00:40,644
Since the dawn of civilization,

16
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:44,681
mankind has credited its origins to gods

17
00:00:44,779 --> 00:00:47,449
and other visitors from the stars.

18
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:49,748
What if it were true?

19
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:52,790
Did extraterrestrial beings

20
00:00:52,887 --> 00:00:56,117
really help to shape our history?

21
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:59,733
And if so, might we find the truth

22
00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:02,627
when humans land on Mars?

Destination Mars
Original Air Date on May 13, 2016

25
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:34,333
We are go for launch.

26
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:35,788
Roger, go for launch.

27
00:01:35,896 --> 00:01:39,496
Earth, 2026.

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,500
Five, four, three,

29
00:01:42,603 --> 00:01:44,803
two, one.

30
00:01:46,674 --> 00:01:48,544
We have ignition.

31
00:01:48,642 --> 00:01:51,012
We have lift off.

32
00:01:51,112 --> 00:01:53,252
Four civilian astronauts

33
00:01:53,347 --> 00:01:57,377
begin their 150-day journey
to the Red Planet.

34
00:01:57,485 --> 00:02:00,415
Velocity 14,899 miles per hour.

35
00:02:00,521 --> 00:02:04,991
The voyage will
take them deeper into space

36
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:06,732
than any human has ever traveled--

37
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:10,427
over 128 million miles.

38
00:02:10,531 --> 00:02:14,131
200 times farther
than the distance to the moon.

39
00:02:18,506 --> 00:02:21,406
You leave Earth
at a pretty high velocity,

40
00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:23,879
and the spacecraft flies

41
00:02:23,978 --> 00:02:25,808
away from the Earth
and away from the moon

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,580
and away from the sun.

43
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:31,078
The distance away may not be
the biggest concern.

44
00:02:31,185 --> 00:02:34,415
And it only takes
five months to get there.

45
00:02:34,522 --> 00:02:37,762
Now, you can certainly, uh,
uh, withstand that.

46
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:41,258
So the-the problem is getting back.

47
00:02:41,362 --> 00:02:45,102
They're traveling so fast

48
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:48,669
that they can go through
ten feet of solid steel.

49
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:51,139
So a rocket has to be built

50
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:54,638
so that it's very, very well shielded

51
00:02:54,742 --> 00:02:55,742
for human beings.

52
00:02:55,843 --> 00:02:57,643
It's not an easy trip.

53
00:02:57,711 --> 00:03:01,311
And there are momentous catastrophes

54
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:03,845
that could occur.

55
00:03:03,951 --> 00:03:05,981
I kind of like to compare that
to when the first explorers

56
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:07,916
were going across the ocean.

57
00:03:08,022 --> 00:03:09,992
Those were long,
horrible journeys as well

58
00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:11,560
and we survived those.

59
00:03:11,659 --> 00:03:13,329
And I really see Mars

60
00:03:13,427 --> 00:03:15,857
as one of the great,
first stepping stones

61
00:03:15,963 --> 00:03:18,663
to exploring space.

62
00:03:18,766 --> 00:03:23,366
I was born with a fascination for space.

63
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:26,070
And the only thing
I wanted to do was explore.

64
00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:27,843
I wanted to know what was out there,

65
00:03:27,942 --> 00:03:29,642
and get out there.

66
00:03:29,743 --> 00:03:33,353
And so, by the time
I heard about Mars One,

67
00:03:33,447 --> 00:03:37,317
it felt like there was
a calling, a destiny there.

68
00:03:37,418 --> 00:03:40,018
What an amazing way
to kind of give your life

69
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:43,694
to the greater cause of humanity.

70
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:48,457
We are a species of explorers.

71
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:52,662
And the reason why we keep
looking out there,

72
00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:56,096
in my opinion, is because
that's where we came from.

73
00:03:56,203 --> 00:04:00,843
'Cause you will not find
any other organism on Earth

74
00:04:00,941 --> 00:04:03,441
that has such a fascination with space,

75
00:04:03,544 --> 00:04:06,914
with the stars or with anything

76
00:04:07,014 --> 00:04:10,824
that displays such curiosity
like human beings.

77
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:14,918
And our next step
will be colonizing Mars.

78
00:04:15,022 --> 00:04:17,622
So the idea

79
00:04:17,725 --> 00:04:20,725
that others have proposed
that we are nothing else

80
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:25,498
but the Martians,
so we are bound to go there.

81
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:30,339
According to NASA,
the colonization of Mars

82
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:33,307
will begin not with humans,
but with robots

83
00:04:33,407 --> 00:04:36,777
sent ahead to construct habitats,

84
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:41,407
rovers and life-support units.

85
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:44,145
Food and supplies will be sent next,

86
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:46,721
and then finally the first humans

87
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:48,120
will arrive,

88
00:04:48,222 --> 00:04:53,032
ready to start
their new lives as Martians.

89
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:57,457
The Martian environment
is very different to Earth.

90
00:04:57,564 --> 00:05:00,634
It has 38% of the gravity of Earth.

91
00:05:00,734 --> 00:05:05,504
The daily temperature
fluctuations are very extreme.

92
00:05:05,606 --> 00:05:08,006
For instance, if you're near
the equator on a summer day,

93
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,508
it can be as warm
as 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

94
00:05:10,577 --> 00:05:12,807
But at night,
the temperatures could drop down

95
00:05:12,913 --> 00:05:14,853
to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

96
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:18,518
So there's a lot of things
out there that's getting us,

97
00:05:18,619 --> 00:05:22,689
including radiation, as well,
and the dust storms.

98
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:24,820
The atmosphere is incredibly thin--

99
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:26,855
about one percent of that of Earth.

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,230
There's no breathable oxygen there.

101
00:05:29,330 --> 00:05:32,860
The radiation is very high as well.

102
00:05:32,966 --> 00:05:35,366
And so astronauts there

103
00:05:35,436 --> 00:05:38,196
are faced with multiple difficulties.

104
00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:42,035
A Martian day is almost like Earth's.

105
00:05:42,142 --> 00:05:44,582
It's 24 hours and 39 minutes.

106
00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:48,078
So it's just a little bit longer
than a day on Earth.

107
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:50,522
But a Martian year is two years,

108
00:05:50,617 --> 00:05:53,887
because Mars' orbit
is twice the size of Earth's.

109
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:58,992
Because of the day-night cycle

110
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:01,533
and the thin atmosphere,

111
00:06:01,628 --> 00:06:05,798
Mars is the only nearby planet
where large-scale greenhouses

112
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:09,469
lit by natural sunlight can be utilized.

113
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:12,000
These structures
will allow the colonizers

114
00:06:12,106 --> 00:06:14,036
to grow their own food

115
00:06:14,141 --> 00:06:17,741
on the cold and barren planet.

116
00:06:17,845 --> 00:06:20,275
Obviously you can't rely on food parcels

117
00:06:20,381 --> 00:06:22,111
from home coming every two years.

118
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:24,976
You're gonna have to grow your own food.

119
00:06:25,085 --> 00:06:26,815
A lot of people think, "Well,
that's pretty straightforward.

120
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,120
"You just take a few potatoes
and cabbages, and away you go.

121
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:33,731
You can do farming on Mars."

122
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:36,604
Now, research that's been done
at Arizona State University

123
00:06:36,697 --> 00:06:39,927
suggests that when you send
microorganisms into space,

124
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:41,873
they behave differently.

125
00:06:41,969 --> 00:06:44,199
They don't like it up there.

126
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:48,244
Hundreds, if not thousands,
of PhD theses

127
00:06:48,342 --> 00:06:50,782
in the last 20 years have been written

128
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:53,508
about how to grow food on Mars.

129
00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:55,854
And there was
a very interesting experiment

130
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:58,279
done a couple of years ago in Holland,

131
00:06:58,385 --> 00:07:01,115
where NASA provided the Dutch
with what they thought

132
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:05,021
was almost an identical copy
of the soil on Mars.

133
00:07:05,125 --> 00:07:08,285
And the Dutch planted 4,200 seeds in it,

134
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:10,625
of all kinds of different vegetables.

135
00:07:10,731 --> 00:07:12,631
And every single seed germinated.

136
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:14,333
Some things did better than others--

137
00:07:14,435 --> 00:07:17,135
like carrots grew very well there.

138
00:07:17,237 --> 00:07:18,937
There is no question that we will

139
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,839
be able to grow food on Mars.

140
00:07:21,942 --> 00:07:25,642
But it's gonna be hundreds
of years before we grow

141
00:07:25,746 --> 00:07:29,706
enough food on Mars that we can
survive from the food we grow.

142
00:07:29,817 --> 00:07:32,647
The only way we're gonna
be able to do that

143
00:07:32,753 --> 00:07:36,053
is to terraform the planet,
so that it becomes much

144
00:07:36,156 --> 00:07:37,986
more Earth-like
so that we can grow crops

145
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:41,228
on the surface of the planet.

146
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:43,698
In recent years,

147
00:07:43,764 --> 00:07:47,634
scientists have proposed various
methods to terraform Mars,

148
00:07:47,734 --> 00:07:51,604
deliberately altering it
to be more Earth-like.

149
00:07:51,705 --> 00:07:55,835
Most focus on
melting the ice at the poles

150
00:07:55,909 --> 00:08:00,479
to release carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere to thicken it.

151
00:08:00,581 --> 00:08:04,321
If we heat up the poles on Mars,

152
00:08:04,418 --> 00:08:07,248
that causes a significant
temperature rise on Mars,

153
00:08:07,354 --> 00:08:10,024
and we start having
flowing water on Mars,

154
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:11,620
especially around the equator.

155
00:08:11,725 --> 00:08:14,185
Then water itself
will go into the atmosphere,

156
00:08:14,294 --> 00:08:16,164
which is another greenhouse gas.

157
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,833
And we will warm up Mars.

158
00:08:18,932 --> 00:08:22,102
And we will be able to plant
crops on the surface of Mars.

159
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:24,142
But that's a ways away.

160
00:08:24,238 --> 00:08:28,168
That's probably at least 300 years away.

161
00:08:28,275 --> 00:08:32,735
With missions from
both NASA and the private sector

162
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:36,176
now officially in the works,
humans landing

163
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:41,053
on Mars is no longer
the stuff of science fiction.

164
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:44,164
But will we really go so far

165
00:08:44,258 --> 00:08:46,458
as to terraform the planet so that

166
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,660
we can establish
permanent residency there?

167
00:08:48,762 --> 00:08:51,362
And if so, why?

168
00:08:51,465 --> 00:08:56,165
What is it about Mars
that compels us to go there?

169
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:59,300
Interestingly, the conditions on Earth

170
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:03,106
three to four billion years ago
are thought to be

171
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:06,180
much different from what they are today.

172
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,120
Like Mars, the planet
was relatively uninhabitable

173
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:13,287
and lacked an atmosphere.

174
00:09:14,988 --> 00:09:17,158
According to ancient astronaut
theorists,

175
00:09:17,257 --> 00:09:20,027
directed terraforming

176
00:09:20,127 --> 00:09:22,187
may have been exactly how life
was started on Earth.

177
00:09:22,296 --> 00:09:23,956
And as evidence,

178
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:28,204
they point to our earliest
creation stories.

179
00:09:28,302 --> 00:09:30,802
When we look
at the world's creation myths,

180
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,514
one of the things that we find
throughout these stories

181
00:09:33,607 --> 00:09:36,307
is the idea that
the gods sought to create

182
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:39,380
a stable environment on the Earth.

183
00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:44,219
The story of Genesis could be
seen as a step-by-step guide

184
00:09:44,318 --> 00:09:47,018
for terraforming the Earth.

185
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,920
On day one, God or the gods

186
00:09:50,023 --> 00:09:52,623
created the universe.

187
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:55,786
On day two, the gods
created the firmament.

188
00:09:55,862 --> 00:09:58,062
This is described as a dome,

189
00:09:58,131 --> 00:10:02,131
or a boundary
separating heaven and Earth.

190
00:10:02,235 --> 00:10:05,265
Followed by the appearance
of plants and animals

191
00:10:05,372 --> 00:10:08,712
and later human beings.

192
00:10:08,809 --> 00:10:11,279
To me, when I look at Genesis,

193
00:10:11,378 --> 00:10:14,248
it is exactly the thought

194
00:10:14,348 --> 00:10:16,248
of an extraterrestrial visitation.

195
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:19,280
I'm sure there's a god--
there's no doubt about that.

196
00:10:19,386 --> 00:10:21,486
That there's a higher power.

197
00:10:21,588 --> 00:10:25,418
But somewhere along the line,
extraterrestrials

198
00:10:25,525 --> 00:10:29,025
came down to this planet, created us,

199
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:31,159
maybe even terraformed the planet,

200
00:10:31,264 --> 00:10:33,404
so that it could be adaptable to life.

201
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:37,370
Heck, we're talking about doing
that on Mars right now.

202
00:10:37,471 --> 00:10:40,241
The things that we'll be
doing on Mars may be

203
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:43,310
exactly the same things
that extraterrestrials did

204
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:45,310
when they came to our planet.

205
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:47,552
We'll be terraforming that planet.

206
00:10:47,648 --> 00:10:50,718
Creating a more conducive atmosphere.

207
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:54,917
Melting icecaps to create
rivers and lakes.

208
00:10:55,022 --> 00:10:57,462
And then perhaps even
genetically manipulating

209
00:10:57,557 --> 00:11:01,787
organisms to better survive
on that planet.

210
00:11:01,895 --> 00:11:05,995
And perhaps mankind is being
guided by extraterrestrials

211
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:11,069
to go to Mars and colonize
that Red Planet.

212
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:17,140
With our plans to colonize Mars,

213
00:11:17,244 --> 00:11:21,154
are humans actually
following in the footsteps

214
00:11:21,248 --> 00:11:23,248
of extraterrestrials that came to Earth

215
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,580
in the remote past?

216
00:11:25,686 --> 00:11:29,846
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that not only

217
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:33,586
is this the case,
but that there is even evidence

218
00:11:33,694 --> 00:11:36,134
these alien visitors
might have come here

219
00:11:36,229 --> 00:11:40,529
from the very planet
that is now our destination.

220
00:11:45,564 --> 00:11:48,904
On March 10, 2006,

221
00:11:49,001 --> 00:11:52,841
the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
reached its destination,

222
00:11:52,938 --> 00:11:55,908
and began orbiting 186 miles

223
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:59,478
above the Martian surface.

224
00:11:59,578 --> 00:12:04,348
It has circled the planet over
40,000 times and has sent

225
00:12:04,449 --> 00:12:07,879
over 264 terabytes of data

226
00:12:07,986 --> 00:12:09,886
and 200,000 images

227
00:12:09,988 --> 00:12:13,088
back to researchers on Earth.

228
00:12:14,226 --> 00:12:18,186
On September 28, 2015,

229
00:12:18,296 --> 00:12:20,796
NASA scientists announced

230
00:12:20,899 --> 00:12:23,499
that the images received
from the Orbiter

231
00:12:23,602 --> 00:12:25,872
had finally led to the kind

232
00:12:25,971 --> 00:12:28,371
of groundbreaking discovery
they were hoping for--

233
00:12:28,473 --> 00:12:32,783
evidence of water on Mars.

234
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:36,908
Photographs taken by the Orbiter

235
00:12:37,015 --> 00:12:41,175
reveal streaks that appear to
ebb and flow through the year,

236
00:12:41,253 --> 00:12:44,923
much like the seasonal
flow of rivers on Earth.

237
00:12:45,023 --> 00:12:49,593
Astrobiologists have had a wake-up call.

238
00:12:49,694 --> 00:12:53,104
If there is flowing
underground water on Mars,

239
00:12:53,198 --> 00:12:55,928
and since we know that all
the chemicals structures on Mars

240
00:12:56,034 --> 00:12:59,004
for life are the same
as they are on Earth.

241
00:12:59,104 --> 00:13:03,474
If you have that, it's unlikely

242
00:13:03,575 --> 00:13:06,275
that there is not life on Mars.

243
00:13:06,378 --> 00:13:08,778
The big question
everybody wants to know is--

244
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,610
is there enough there for Mars life?

245
00:13:11,716 --> 00:13:13,676
And in my view, the answer is yes.

246
00:13:13,785 --> 00:13:17,485
You don't have to have
liquid water lying around

247
00:13:17,589 --> 00:13:20,919
like a pond in order
for microbes to make a living.

248
00:13:21,026 --> 00:13:23,686
There are microorganisms on Earth

249
00:13:23,762 --> 00:13:26,532
that live in Mars-like conditions.

250
00:13:26,631 --> 00:13:29,801
So do I believe that there is
or was life on Mars?

251
00:13:29,901 --> 00:13:32,171
And I say yes,
I'm absolutely certain of it.

252
00:13:33,505 --> 00:13:36,435
In 1996,

253
00:13:36,541 --> 00:13:39,211
NASA researchers studying

254
00:13:39,311 --> 00:13:42,251
a Martian meteorite found
on the Alan Hill ice fields

255
00:13:42,347 --> 00:13:44,047
of Antarctica

256
00:13:44,116 --> 00:13:46,546
announce a shocking discovery--

257
00:13:46,618 --> 00:13:50,118
evidence of past microbial life

258
00:13:50,222 --> 00:13:51,992
on Mars.

259
00:13:52,090 --> 00:13:53,920
They backed away from this conclusion

260
00:13:53,992 --> 00:13:58,562
shortly after it made
international headlines.

261
00:13:58,663 --> 00:14:01,133
Over a decade later,

262
00:14:01,233 --> 00:14:04,003
scientists re-examining the meteorite

263
00:14:04,102 --> 00:14:07,902
determine that it does indeed
contain organic matter

264
00:14:08,006 --> 00:14:12,206
and evidence of bacterial fossils.

265
00:14:12,277 --> 00:14:15,037
The evidence for microbial life
on early Mars

266
00:14:15,147 --> 00:14:17,377
from the meteorites is now very strong.

267
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:19,322
It's almost overwhelming.

268
00:14:19,417 --> 00:14:21,417
Not only do some of the Mars meteorites

269
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,090
show signs of early life on Mars,

270
00:14:24,189 --> 00:14:27,719
almost every one of them does.

271
00:14:30,295 --> 00:14:32,825
While evidence of microbial life

272
00:14:32,931 --> 00:14:36,401
in Mars meteorites is groundbreaking,

273
00:14:36,501 --> 00:14:41,241
in 2013, geochemist Steven Benner

274
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:43,639
presented findings suggesting

275
00:14:43,742 --> 00:14:46,042
these meteorites point to a possibility

276
00:14:46,144 --> 00:14:48,214
even more astonishing than the notion

277
00:14:48,313 --> 00:14:51,613
that there was once life on Mars.

278
00:14:51,716 --> 00:14:54,376
He claims that they may be responsible

279
00:14:54,486 --> 00:14:58,116
for seeding life here on Earth.

280
00:14:58,223 --> 00:15:01,393
Benner reached this conclusion
when he found

281
00:15:01,493 --> 00:15:04,063
that particular elements
believed to be crucial

282
00:15:04,162 --> 00:15:08,002
to the origin of life are
not readily available on Earth,

283
00:15:08,099 --> 00:15:10,029
and would only have been present

284
00:15:10,135 --> 00:15:12,895
on the surface of the Red Planet.

285
00:15:13,004 --> 00:15:16,274
I've always felt that Mars was actually

286
00:15:16,374 --> 00:15:19,184
a better place than Earth
for life to get going.

287
00:15:19,277 --> 00:15:23,447
Now Steve Benner recently has
added to the appeal of Mars

288
00:15:23,548 --> 00:15:25,348
as the cradle of life

289
00:15:25,450 --> 00:15:29,050
by pointing out that certain
elements that are actually

290
00:15:29,154 --> 00:15:33,194
essential for organic chemistry
to work properly

291
00:15:33,291 --> 00:15:35,121
like boron and molybdenum,

292
00:15:35,227 --> 00:15:38,657
which are more abundant on Mars
than they are on Earth.

293
00:15:38,763 --> 00:15:42,203
We can imagine that life
on Earth started on Mars,

294
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:45,570
so in a sense we're all Martians
or descended from Martians.

295
00:15:48,073 --> 00:15:52,213
Life on Earth seeded from Mars?

296
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:56,310
Could we, in fact, be Martians?

297
00:15:56,414 --> 00:15:59,654
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

298
00:15:59,751 --> 00:16:02,951
and suggest that this seeding of Earth

299
00:16:03,054 --> 00:16:05,794
may even have been a directed effort

300
00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:08,090
orchestrated by human-like beings

301
00:16:08,193 --> 00:16:11,033
that existed on the Red Planet.

302
00:16:11,129 --> 00:16:14,729
And they claim these
extraterrestrial ancestors

303
00:16:14,833 --> 00:16:18,033
can be found in the apocryphal texts

304
00:16:18,136 --> 00:16:20,136
of the Hebrew bible,

305
00:16:20,238 --> 00:16:24,208
represented as the "fallen angels."

306
00:16:24,276 --> 00:16:28,436
We know from ancient legend
of the books of Enoch,

307
00:16:28,546 --> 00:16:33,076
that there was a group of angels

308
00:16:33,184 --> 00:16:35,624
who descended to Earth

309
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,660
in violation of divine law.

310
00:16:38,757 --> 00:16:41,587
They introduced to humanity

311
00:16:41,660 --> 00:16:43,460
ways, means, knowledge,

312
00:16:43,561 --> 00:16:46,701
which we would understand today
as science and technology.

313
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:51,768
These angels were in human form.

314
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:54,640
They were called, in Hebrew,
Ishim, which means men.

315
00:16:54,739 --> 00:16:58,709
They looked just like us.

316
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:04,579
The fallen angels were giants.

317
00:17:04,649 --> 00:17:08,419
They were at least ten feet
tall, very striking to look at.

318
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,450
Enormous eyes.

319
00:17:10,555 --> 00:17:12,755
And no wings.

320
00:17:12,857 --> 00:17:15,427
For over 100 years, mythologists

321
00:17:15,493 --> 00:17:19,363
have been contemplating this
idea that the fallen angels

322
00:17:19,464 --> 00:17:20,964
came from Mars to Earth.

323
00:17:21,066 --> 00:17:23,726
Even Dante described this
in the Paradiso.

324
00:17:23,835 --> 00:17:26,595
He called this
the fifth level of heaven.

325
00:17:26,705 --> 00:17:29,435
Is it possible that the fallen angels

326
00:17:29,541 --> 00:17:31,911
came to Earth from Mars?

327
00:17:35,380 --> 00:17:38,250
Could we reinterpret
the story of fallen angels

328
00:17:38,350 --> 00:17:41,450
as beings not from heaven,

329
00:17:41,553 --> 00:17:43,553
but from Mars?

330
00:17:43,655 --> 00:17:47,155
Based on examination of the astronauts

331
00:17:47,225 --> 00:17:50,355
living in the International
Space Station,

332
00:17:50,428 --> 00:17:53,558
scientists have speculated
on what physiological changes

333
00:17:53,665 --> 00:17:56,625
might be seen in future generations

334
00:17:56,735 --> 00:17:59,465
of humans born on Mars.

335
00:17:59,571 --> 00:18:02,471
And ancient astronaut theorists suggest

336
00:18:02,574 --> 00:18:05,514
the resemblance to the
description of fallen angels

337
00:18:05,610 --> 00:18:08,340
may be uncanny.

338
00:18:08,446 --> 00:18:11,606
One of the most amazing
things about the human body

339
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:13,946
is its ability to adapt.

340
00:18:14,052 --> 00:18:16,822
And if you look at astronauts
who go into space,

341
00:18:16,921 --> 00:18:20,161
they actually grow
about two or three inches.

342
00:18:20,258 --> 00:18:22,758
And when you have a human
that's born on Mars,

343
00:18:22,861 --> 00:18:24,861
what's gonna happen is the environment

344
00:18:24,963 --> 00:18:27,663
will change the structure
of the human body.

345
00:18:27,766 --> 00:18:30,096
And what you're gonna see
in a few generations

346
00:18:30,201 --> 00:18:32,371
is humans that are taller and skinnier,

347
00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:35,940
because the gravity on Mars
is less than that of Earth.

348
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,810
If humans evolve
long enough on the planet Mars,

349
00:18:39,911 --> 00:18:41,541
they could grow to be taller,

350
00:18:41,646 --> 00:18:43,206
they'd have the bigger heads;

351
00:18:43,281 --> 00:18:44,781
they'd have the spindly limbs.

352
00:18:44,883 --> 00:18:47,183
They might actually grow
slightly larger eyes

353
00:18:47,285 --> 00:18:49,345
that were equipped
to see better in the dark,

354
00:18:49,454 --> 00:18:51,224
because you simply
have less sunlight on Mars

355
00:18:51,322 --> 00:18:52,662
than you do on the Earth,

356
00:18:52,757 --> 00:18:54,817
because it's farther away from the sun.

357
00:18:54,893 --> 00:18:57,533
They could also end up looking
like representations

358
00:18:57,629 --> 00:18:59,729
of angels and various

359
00:18:59,831 --> 00:19:01,761
other god-like beings
that we've read about

360
00:19:01,866 --> 00:19:04,566
in the Bible
and other ancient documents.

361
00:19:04,669 --> 00:19:07,469
These attributes to somebody

362
00:19:07,572 --> 00:19:10,842
from a low-gravity planet like Mars

363
00:19:10,942 --> 00:19:12,812
or being in space for a long time

364
00:19:12,911 --> 00:19:16,251
may well be the attributes that we see

365
00:19:16,314 --> 00:19:19,624
of the fallen angels being very tall

366
00:19:19,717 --> 00:19:21,677
and-and spindly

367
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:23,686
and-and perhaps pale

368
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:27,718
and with large eyes.

369
00:19:27,826 --> 00:19:29,886
Something that we might
expect to be coming

370
00:19:29,994 --> 00:19:33,364
from another planet like Mars.

371
00:19:33,465 --> 00:19:36,165
Might life on Earth

372
00:19:36,267 --> 00:19:39,537
really have originated on Mars?

373
00:19:39,637 --> 00:19:43,407
And is it possible it was not by chance,

374
00:19:43,508 --> 00:19:45,308
but by design?

375
00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:49,680
And if so, just what happened
to the Martians?

376
00:19:49,781 --> 00:19:53,751
Perhaps clues can be found by examining

377
00:19:53,852 --> 00:19:56,892
what some say is undeniable evidence

378
00:19:56,988 --> 00:20:00,318
of weapons of mass destruction.

379
00:20:08,032 --> 00:20:10,332
Spanning 2,500 miles

380
00:20:10,434 --> 00:20:13,274
across the equatorial region
of the Red Planet

381
00:20:13,371 --> 00:20:16,911
is a colossal gash in the crust.

382
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:19,808
Called the Valles Marineris,

383
00:20:19,910 --> 00:20:22,640
it is over four miles deep,

384
00:20:22,747 --> 00:20:26,877
which is four times
the depth of the Grand Canyon.

385
00:20:26,984 --> 00:20:29,284
And it runs a length equal

386
00:20:29,387 --> 00:20:31,347
to the span of the United States

387
00:20:31,455 --> 00:20:33,985
from New York to California.

388
00:20:34,091 --> 00:20:35,891
The Valles Marineris

389
00:20:35,993 --> 00:20:37,793
is one of the biggest tranches on Mars.

390
00:20:37,895 --> 00:20:42,155
It was named after one of the
Mariner missions in the '70s.

391
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:44,526
It has some very interesting
geological features.

392
00:20:44,635 --> 00:20:46,095
It's quite huge.

393
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:48,103
So it's really an interesting challenge

394
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:50,035
to figure out what formed this valley.

395
00:20:50,107 --> 00:20:52,507
It is truly immense.

396
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:54,480
And the question is, uh,

397
00:20:54,578 --> 00:20:58,948
why did these features occur
on Mars on such a grand scale?

398
00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:03,150
The Grand Canyon is, you know,
created by the Colorado River.

399
00:21:03,254 --> 00:21:05,954
I don't think the Valles Marineris

400
00:21:06,057 --> 00:21:07,787
was created by a river.

401
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:09,362
It's very clear that it hasn't been made

402
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:12,360
by water erosion.

403
00:21:12,463 --> 00:21:15,503
The prevailing scientific theory

404
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:17,429
suggests that the gash

405
00:21:17,535 --> 00:21:19,965
may be the result of volcanic activity

406
00:21:20,071 --> 00:21:23,471
combined with shifts in crustal plates.

407
00:21:23,574 --> 00:21:27,084
However, engineer Ralph Juergens

408
00:21:27,144 --> 00:21:31,684
argued in his 1974 article,
"Of the Moon and Mars,"

409
00:21:31,782 --> 00:21:35,082
that the geographic features
of the Valles Marineris

410
00:21:35,152 --> 00:21:38,852
did not show signs
of being torn and upended

411
00:21:38,956 --> 00:21:41,216
as is typical of volcanic thrusts.

412
00:21:41,325 --> 00:21:45,955
But rather,
it appeared to be carved out.

413
00:21:46,063 --> 00:21:49,063
Juergens proposed that the feature

414
00:21:49,166 --> 00:21:50,866
resembled the residual marks

415
00:21:50,968 --> 00:21:54,468
left behind by an electrical discharge.

416
00:21:56,841 --> 00:21:58,941
According to his theory,

417
00:21:59,043 --> 00:22:02,613
the area was zapped by
a powerful cosmic thunderbolt,

418
00:22:02,713 --> 00:22:06,723
carving out the landscape as it
advanced across the surface,

419
00:22:06,817 --> 00:22:10,317
blasting material into space.

420
00:22:11,856 --> 00:22:14,056
Although NASA scientists

421
00:22:14,158 --> 00:22:15,988
dismiss the theory,

422
00:22:16,093 --> 00:22:20,463
it has been gaining traction
with electrical engineers.

423
00:22:20,564 --> 00:22:22,704
By using

424
00:22:22,766 --> 00:22:25,026
two electrodes to create
an electrical arc

425
00:22:25,136 --> 00:22:28,066
over a sandy surface,
they have been able

426
00:22:28,172 --> 00:22:30,542
to demonstrate on a small-scale

427
00:22:30,608 --> 00:22:33,808
how the Valles Marineris
could have been carved out

428
00:22:33,911 --> 00:22:37,281
by an electric bolt.

429
00:22:37,381 --> 00:22:39,651
You don't see this type of thing
with a volcano

430
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:43,120
or an earthquake or any other
type of natural occurrence.

431
00:22:43,220 --> 00:22:46,460
The feature itself resembles

432
00:22:46,557 --> 00:22:48,857
many of the electric discharges
that we've done.

433
00:22:51,695 --> 00:22:55,195
But could a cosmic thunderbolt

434
00:22:55,299 --> 00:22:59,269
be responsible for
the massive gash across Mars?

435
00:22:59,370 --> 00:23:02,540
If so, was it a natural occurrence

436
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,810
or an attack?

437
00:23:05,910 --> 00:23:08,480
There are some very interesting stories

438
00:23:08,579 --> 00:23:11,879
of ancient advanced
thunderbolt-like weapons.

439
00:23:11,949 --> 00:23:15,719
For example, in the Norse,
Greek, and Vedic traditions,

440
00:23:15,819 --> 00:23:20,489
there is a weapon that can
destroy entire worlds.

441
00:23:20,591 --> 00:23:22,521
In the Vedic text,

442
00:23:22,626 --> 00:23:25,586
uh, what is found is called "Vajra."

443
00:23:25,696 --> 00:23:28,256
"Vajra" means thunderbolt.

444
00:23:28,365 --> 00:23:30,895
And this is a very powerful weapon

445
00:23:31,001 --> 00:23:33,901
that God Indra carries.

446
00:23:34,004 --> 00:23:36,474
And it was a special weapon
that was designed

447
00:23:36,574 --> 00:23:40,644
to destroy this giant called Vritra.

448
00:23:40,744 --> 00:23:44,514
Vritra represented the dark force.

449
00:23:44,615 --> 00:23:48,045
And then he was creating havoc
in the universe.

450
00:23:48,152 --> 00:23:50,152
So he had to be destroyed.

451
00:23:50,254 --> 00:23:52,754
And Indra used this weapon

452
00:23:52,856 --> 00:23:55,616
to destroy this giant.

453
00:23:55,726 --> 00:24:00,056
Vajra is this super
lightning bolt strike

454
00:24:00,164 --> 00:24:03,234
that devastates everything

455
00:24:03,334 --> 00:24:08,104
and is the most destructive
weapon that the gods have.

456
00:24:08,205 --> 00:24:12,765
And if you look on Mars
that scar appears to be

457
00:24:12,876 --> 00:24:17,346
from some huge electric strike.

458
00:24:17,448 --> 00:24:20,118
Perhaps this Vajra weapon of Indra

459
00:24:20,217 --> 00:24:22,677
that is hitting the planet

460
00:24:22,786 --> 00:24:26,586
and creating a huge canyon

461
00:24:26,690 --> 00:24:29,020
and may be what

462
00:24:29,126 --> 00:24:32,256
really changed Mars.

463
00:24:32,363 --> 00:24:34,963
It would seem that these weapons

464
00:24:35,065 --> 00:24:38,165
are extraterrestrial in nature.

465
00:24:40,704 --> 00:24:42,574
Could the Vajra described

466
00:24:42,673 --> 00:24:45,043
in the ancient Vedic texts

467
00:24:45,142 --> 00:24:48,642
be a super weapon
used against the planet?

468
00:24:48,712 --> 00:24:51,912
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

469
00:24:51,982 --> 00:24:54,852
and suggest there is even evidence

470
00:24:54,952 --> 00:24:57,022
of other weapons of mass destruction

471
00:24:57,121 --> 00:25:01,061
being detonated on the Red Planet.

472
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:05,390
In a 2014 paper

473
00:25:05,496 --> 00:25:08,196
published in The Journal of Cosmology,

474
00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:10,969
physicist Dr. John Brandenburg

475
00:25:11,068 --> 00:25:13,098
presented findings indicating

476
00:25:13,203 --> 00:25:15,303
that someone or something

477
00:25:15,406 --> 00:25:17,006
wiped out life on Mars

478
00:25:17,107 --> 00:25:20,807
with massive nuclear explosions.

479
00:25:20,911 --> 00:25:24,681
There's  an enormous spike in Xenon 129

480
00:25:24,782 --> 00:25:27,122
in the Martian atmosphere.

481
00:25:27,217 --> 00:25:29,647
Xenon 129 is produced

482
00:25:29,753 --> 00:25:33,093
by very violent nuclear reactions.

483
00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:36,120
I originally proposed as an explanation

484
00:25:36,226 --> 00:25:39,996
that this was a natural nuclear
reactor that had gone unstable.

485
00:25:40,064 --> 00:25:43,034
However, as I talked to more scientists,

486
00:25:43,133 --> 00:25:46,373
they said the xenon spectrum is wrong.

487
00:25:46,437 --> 00:25:48,337
That is weapon signature.

488
00:25:48,439 --> 00:25:52,139
That is not from any kind
of natural nuclear reactor.

489
00:25:52,242 --> 00:25:54,712
The pattern of radiation

490
00:25:54,812 --> 00:25:57,482
on the Mars surface indicates

491
00:25:57,581 --> 00:26:00,581
that there is a global debris pattern

492
00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:03,124
extending from two hot spots
of radiation

493
00:26:03,220 --> 00:26:05,190
in the north of Mars

494
00:26:05,289 --> 00:26:07,859
going all the way around the planet.

495
00:26:07,958 --> 00:26:11,658
The regions of the residual
radioactivity

496
00:26:11,762 --> 00:26:14,462
are covered in glass--

497
00:26:14,565 --> 00:26:17,395
the same sort of acid-etched glass

498
00:26:17,501 --> 00:26:19,741
that was found at nuclear test sites.

499
00:26:19,837 --> 00:26:21,497
It's called trinitite.

500
00:26:21,605 --> 00:26:24,105
So thousands of square miles
of Mars' surface

501
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,168
apparently were turned to glass.

502
00:26:26,276 --> 00:26:31,046
Someone apparently dropped two
massive nuclear weapons on Mars

503
00:26:31,148 --> 00:26:33,278
to explode in mid-air.

504
00:26:33,384 --> 00:26:35,354
There's no natural phenomenon

505
00:26:35,452 --> 00:26:39,822
that can account for this nuclear data.

506
00:26:39,923 --> 00:26:41,893
So we must go to Mars.

507
00:26:41,992 --> 00:26:45,062
We must find out exactly
what happened there.

508
00:26:45,162 --> 00:26:49,532
Are there really tell-tale signs

509
00:26:49,633 --> 00:26:53,203
of orchestrated
mass destruction on Mars?

510
00:26:53,303 --> 00:26:56,203
If so, might some of the survivors

511
00:26:56,273 --> 00:26:58,773
have made it to Earth?

512
00:26:58,876 --> 00:27:01,836
Perhaps further evidence can be found

513
00:27:01,945 --> 00:27:04,675
by examining the landscape of Mars,

514
00:27:04,782 --> 00:27:07,352
and its mysterious formations

515
00:27:07,451 --> 00:27:10,851
that some say are alien artifacts.

516
00:27:20,231 --> 00:27:22,331
554 solar days

517
00:27:22,433 --> 00:27:26,503
after the Mars Curiosity Rover
touched down,

518
00:27:26,604 --> 00:27:28,544
it beams its latest high-resolution

519
00:27:28,606 --> 00:27:32,836
panoramic photographs
of the Mars landscape to Earth.

520
00:27:34,211 --> 00:27:37,081
Upon inspection, amateur archaeologists

521
00:27:37,148 --> 00:27:39,318
announce a startling discovery--

522
00:27:39,417 --> 00:27:41,277
what appears to be an effigy

523
00:27:41,385 --> 00:27:43,345
located at the Dingo Gap,

524
00:27:43,421 --> 00:27:46,461
resembling a human statue.

525
00:27:46,557 --> 00:27:50,957
The find is just one of the dozens

526
00:27:51,062 --> 00:27:55,802
of strange earth-like objects
sighted in the Rover images--

527
00:27:55,866 --> 00:28:00,436
including a sarcophagus...

528
00:28:00,504 --> 00:28:03,044
a Buddha statue...

529
00:28:06,143 --> 00:28:09,313
...and even a cross.

530
00:28:09,413 --> 00:28:11,083
There are a lot

531
00:28:11,182 --> 00:28:13,022
of different objects
on Mars that people see,

532
00:28:13,050 --> 00:28:15,520
or think they see,
in various rover images.

533
00:28:15,586 --> 00:28:18,086
And it's really hard to dismiss them,

534
00:28:18,189 --> 00:28:19,889
because they do look exactly

535
00:28:19,957 --> 00:28:22,217
like sculptures that human beings make.

536
00:28:22,326 --> 00:28:25,386
And even after a massive cataclysm,

537
00:28:25,496 --> 00:28:27,356
like what apparently took place on Mars,

538
00:28:27,465 --> 00:28:30,295
you're gonna find remnants
from a lost civilization

539
00:28:30,401 --> 00:28:33,341
that's just leaving behind
those last hints that

540
00:28:33,404 --> 00:28:35,004
we were here.

541
00:28:35,106 --> 00:28:38,406
Ancient astronaut theorists

542
00:28:38,476 --> 00:28:40,406
have considered that there may be

543
00:28:40,478 --> 00:28:44,248
artifacts and unnatural
structures on Mars

544
00:28:44,315 --> 00:28:46,145
since the first images where beamed back

545
00:28:46,217 --> 00:28:48,017
from the Mars Viking Mission

546
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:51,219
in 1979.

547
00:28:51,288 --> 00:28:54,718
NASA officials claim
the perceived likeness

548
00:28:54,825 --> 00:28:57,285
of formations on Mars
to man-made objects

549
00:28:57,395 --> 00:28:59,825
is due to Pareidolia,

550
00:28:59,930 --> 00:29:02,430
where the mind perceives
a familiar pattern,

551
00:29:02,533 --> 00:29:06,003
like seeing shapes in clouds.

552
00:29:06,103 --> 00:29:09,473
But some imaging experts
are not convinced

553
00:29:09,573 --> 00:29:12,513
that it's just a trick of the eye.

554
00:29:12,610 --> 00:29:14,610
Joe White has been working

555
00:29:14,712 --> 00:29:17,612
in image restoration for 25 years,

556
00:29:17,715 --> 00:29:20,815
and claims to have found
artifacts on the Martian surface

557
00:29:20,918 --> 00:29:22,918
that defy explanation.

558
00:29:23,020 --> 00:29:24,620
The Rover images

559
00:29:24,722 --> 00:29:27,122
are generally fairly close-up,
and it is possible

560
00:29:27,191 --> 00:29:30,631
to spot things like statue heads
and stone blocks,

561
00:29:30,728 --> 00:29:34,198
sometimes with writing on
and carvings in them.

562
00:29:34,298 --> 00:29:37,928
It's such a shame they, they do
so much to destroy these images.

563
00:29:38,002 --> 00:29:39,542
But basically what they do
is they resize them down

564
00:29:39,637 --> 00:29:41,397
so that the detail's all lost.

565
00:29:41,472 --> 00:29:43,312
But because I've worked in
photographic restoration,

566
00:29:43,374 --> 00:29:45,244
I know how to do it.

567
00:29:45,342 --> 00:29:47,242
All I've done with this is
actually enhanced the contrast

568
00:29:47,344 --> 00:29:48,614
and sharpened it a little bit.

569
00:29:48,712 --> 00:29:51,082
The details I noticed first were

570
00:29:51,182 --> 00:29:53,052
particularly the eye and nose details

571
00:29:53,150 --> 00:29:56,120
on the front of the, of the,
the statue on the left here

572
00:29:56,187 --> 00:29:58,647
with a very quite clear mouth structure

573
00:29:58,722 --> 00:30:02,192
and what looks like an ear, just here.

574
00:30:02,293 --> 00:30:06,533
And you have a long narrow
elongated cone head shape

575
00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:08,800
to the statue.

576
00:30:08,899 --> 00:30:11,129
Now this may well be
an elaborate headdress

577
00:30:11,235 --> 00:30:13,895
on this statue here,
which seems to be broken off.

578
00:30:14,004 --> 00:30:15,474
But it's hard to say for sure.

579
00:30:15,539 --> 00:30:17,209
I mean this is a, it's a damaged statue,

580
00:30:17,274 --> 00:30:19,274
buried up to its chin

581
00:30:19,376 --> 00:30:21,936
and there's probably a lot more of it

582
00:30:22,046 --> 00:30:23,446
buried just below in the sand.

583
00:30:23,547 --> 00:30:25,307
But you can actually see quite clearly

584
00:30:25,416 --> 00:30:27,076
it's the sort of thing
you would expect to find

585
00:30:27,184 --> 00:30:29,954
somewhere like Central or South America.

586
00:30:32,623 --> 00:30:35,563
Might there actually
be ruins of a lost civilization

587
00:30:35,626 --> 00:30:40,326
scattered across the Martian landscape?

588
00:30:40,431 --> 00:30:45,031
Ruins that mirror those
that exist on our own planet?

589
00:30:45,136 --> 00:30:48,566
Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes,

590
00:30:48,672 --> 00:30:51,112
and propose that this is

591
00:30:51,175 --> 00:30:53,905
one of many artifacts on Mars

592
00:30:53,978 --> 00:30:57,948
that seem to have
counterparts on our Earth.

593
00:30:58,048 --> 00:31:01,718
Certain structures on Mars
may be completely

594
00:31:01,819 --> 00:31:04,649
related to structures here on Earth.

595
00:31:04,722 --> 00:31:09,262
On Mars, we have structures
that look like pyramids.

596
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,690
There are standing stones

597
00:31:11,795 --> 00:31:16,025
and Stonehenge-type
of structures on Mars.

598
00:31:16,133 --> 00:31:20,343
There's also a structure on Mars
that looks like a Sphinx.

599
00:31:23,140 --> 00:31:25,710
Around Cydonia,
there are many, many objects,

600
00:31:25,809 --> 00:31:27,579
including an area called "the city,"

601
00:31:27,678 --> 00:31:30,848
where the so-called face
on Mars is located.

602
00:31:30,948 --> 00:31:33,378
There's a massive pentagonal pyramid.

603
00:31:33,484 --> 00:31:36,324
There's a cluster
of other pyramidal objects

604
00:31:36,420 --> 00:31:37,990
that are nearby.

605
00:31:38,055 --> 00:31:40,155
And one of the things that's
really interesting

606
00:31:40,257 --> 00:31:42,117
about the city is that some
people have pointed out that

607
00:31:42,226 --> 00:31:45,156
if you take the apex of all of
the pyramidal structures there--

608
00:31:45,229 --> 00:31:46,729
and there are number of them--

609
00:31:46,797 --> 00:31:50,267
that they basically match
the layout of the Pleiades.

610
00:31:50,334 --> 00:31:53,004
Now, this is something
that we've seen here on Earth.

611
00:31:53,070 --> 00:31:56,100
We've seen various ancient
architectural monuments

612
00:31:56,207 --> 00:31:57,807
that are also laid out to reflect

613
00:31:57,875 --> 00:32:00,175
the constellation of the Pleiades.

614
00:32:00,244 --> 00:32:03,314
Is it possible
that the structures on Mars

615
00:32:03,414 --> 00:32:06,484
are real and of artificial origin?

616
00:32:06,584 --> 00:32:09,424
That is something
where all of science says,

617
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,450
"No, impossible."

618
00:32:11,555 --> 00:32:13,215
Well, is it really?

619
00:32:13,290 --> 00:32:15,490
Water on Mars-- impossible, right?

620
00:32:15,593 --> 00:32:17,563
No, it has been proven.

621
00:32:17,661 --> 00:32:20,101
So we have to ask ourselves

622
00:32:20,130 --> 00:32:23,570
what civilization built this?

623
00:32:23,667 --> 00:32:25,667
And what happened to them?

624
00:32:25,769 --> 00:32:30,169
And some have suggested that
they actually escaped Mars

625
00:32:30,274 --> 00:32:34,484
and came to Earth
to ensure their survival.

626
00:32:34,578 --> 00:32:36,708
When we look to these
extraordinary structures

627
00:32:36,780 --> 00:32:41,080
on Earth, similar to what
we're now seeing on Mars,

628
00:32:41,185 --> 00:32:43,445
it makes you wonder did
our ancient extraterrestrial

629
00:32:43,554 --> 00:32:48,164
ancestors teach humans
how to build these monuments?

630
00:32:48,225 --> 00:32:51,125
And knowing that one day,
we would rediscover our roots

631
00:32:51,228 --> 00:32:54,298
on Mars and be able to match up
what we've done on Earth

632
00:32:54,398 --> 00:32:56,598
with what we had already done on Mars.

633
00:32:56,667 --> 00:33:00,637
Might the various
structures and artifacts

634
00:33:00,738 --> 00:33:03,708
found on the surface of Mars

635
00:33:03,807 --> 00:33:07,207
really be evidence
of a past Martian civilization?

636
00:33:07,311 --> 00:33:12,111
A civilization that was
recreated on Earth?

637
00:33:14,218 --> 00:33:18,288
If so, why would NASA
try to hide this connection?

638
00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:20,419
And might there be more

639
00:33:20,491 --> 00:33:23,191
that the public isn't being told?

640
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,320
The $2.5 billion Mars Curiosity

641
00:33:30,417 --> 00:33:34,817
is the most advanced rover yet
to explore the Martian terrain.

642
00:33:34,889 --> 00:33:38,719
Beyond obtaining
high-resolution photographs,

643
00:33:38,792 --> 00:33:41,162
as well as soil and air samples,

644
00:33:41,228 --> 00:33:45,098
as it travels across
the surface of the planet--

645
00:33:45,165 --> 00:33:47,625
it is also able
to turn the camera on itself.

646
00:33:47,701 --> 00:33:51,301
A feature that enables engineers at NASA

647
00:33:51,405 --> 00:33:55,435
to diagnose and troubleshoot
issues from Earth.

648
00:33:55,542 --> 00:33:59,282
Curiously, 50 solar days
into its mission,

649
00:33:59,346 --> 00:34:03,616
the rover beamed a mysterious
photograph back to Earth

650
00:34:03,717 --> 00:34:06,347
showing what appeared
to some researchers

651
00:34:06,420 --> 00:34:09,420
to be the shadow of a human-like figure

652
00:34:09,523 --> 00:34:12,163
working on the Rover.

653
00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:14,229
You could see a person there.

654
00:34:14,295 --> 00:34:17,595
And even it seemed that
he was not wearing a helmet,

655
00:34:17,698 --> 00:34:21,698
but was in some kind
of gear and goggles.

656
00:34:21,802 --> 00:34:25,802
And it made people speculate
that what might be going on

657
00:34:25,873 --> 00:34:29,313
on Mars is more than what NASA

658
00:34:29,410 --> 00:34:32,580
and also the military space program

659
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,750
has said that we can achieve.

660
00:34:35,849 --> 00:34:38,849
NASA knows so much more about Mars

661
00:34:38,953 --> 00:34:40,293
than they are telling us.

662
00:34:40,387 --> 00:34:41,747
They put pictures out.

663
00:34:41,855 --> 00:34:43,285
They allow things to come out.

664
00:34:43,390 --> 00:34:45,320
They do not comment on them, in general,

665
00:34:45,426 --> 00:34:48,426
but they just allow people
with eyes, who want to see,

666
00:34:48,495 --> 00:34:50,395
to look at these things
and understand what they are.

667
00:34:50,497 --> 00:34:52,897
But they don't say anything about it,

668
00:34:52,967 --> 00:34:57,437
because they are constrained
by the political realities.

669
00:34:57,504 --> 00:34:58,874
A couple of years go,

670
00:34:58,973 --> 00:35:00,813
we got a call
from a person named Jackie,

671
00:35:00,874 --> 00:35:04,314
who claimed that she was
a former NASA employee.

672
00:35:04,411 --> 00:35:06,651
And she went on with this profound story

673
00:35:06,747 --> 00:35:09,817
about how our rovers

674
00:35:09,917 --> 00:35:12,987
had sent back pictures
that NASA has suppressed

675
00:35:13,053 --> 00:35:17,793
of humans on Mars walking around.

676
00:35:17,858 --> 00:35:19,418
And she was very compelling.

677
00:35:19,493 --> 00:35:22,663
She seemed to know exactly
what she was talking about.

678
00:35:22,763 --> 00:35:26,473
There's always been a theory
that there's a space program

679
00:35:26,567 --> 00:35:29,597
beyond the space program that we know.

680
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:31,400
It's a black ops program.

681
00:35:31,505 --> 00:35:35,135
It's the program where trillions
of dollars merely disappear,

682
00:35:35,209 --> 00:35:38,239
and nobody knows where the money went.

683
00:35:38,312 --> 00:35:40,752
And nobody knows what's going on.

684
00:35:40,814 --> 00:35:43,854
A Scottish hacker named Gary McKinnon

685
00:35:43,951 --> 00:35:46,021
actually hacked into the NASA database,

686
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,050
and discovered a file,
which contained a list

687
00:35:48,122 --> 00:35:50,592
of what were called
non-terrestrial officers--

688
00:35:50,657 --> 00:35:52,387
officers in the military
that were actually

689
00:35:52,493 --> 00:35:55,063
living and working
off of the planet Earth.

690
00:35:55,129 --> 00:35:58,299
Now, "non-terrestrial"
doesn't necessarily mean "Mars."

691
00:35:58,399 --> 00:36:00,269
But it does mean "out in space."

692
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:02,797
And what that indicates
is that there is some kind

693
00:36:02,903 --> 00:36:04,573
of top-secret space program

694
00:36:04,671 --> 00:36:06,641
that exists that the public
doesn't know about.

695
00:36:08,375 --> 00:36:09,835
Could there really be

696
00:36:09,943 --> 00:36:13,283
a secret U.S. military
operation on Mars?

697
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:17,850
If so, just how long
has it been going on?

698
00:36:17,918 --> 00:36:22,248
Some researchers suggest
that a feasible plan

699
00:36:22,356 --> 00:36:25,016
to get to Mars was conceived

700
00:36:25,125 --> 00:36:27,825
well before we even made it to the moon

701
00:36:27,928 --> 00:36:31,398
and by the same scientist
that got us there.

702
00:36:31,465 --> 00:36:34,395
Wernher Von Braun was a rocket genius,

703
00:36:34,468 --> 00:36:37,368
and he was obsessed with going to Mars.

704
00:36:37,438 --> 00:36:39,098
He was obsessed with rocketry.

705
00:36:39,206 --> 00:36:42,706
And he wrote a book in 1948
called The Mars Project.

706
00:36:42,810 --> 00:36:46,450
And it's basically a 91-page
manual on how to get to Mars.

707
00:36:46,547 --> 00:36:49,347
It has all the computations worked out,

708
00:36:49,450 --> 00:36:52,650
all the formulas for
what home and transfer orbits

709
00:36:52,753 --> 00:36:54,623
you need to use to get to Mars.

710
00:36:54,721 --> 00:36:56,621
He actually projected

711
00:36:56,723 --> 00:36:59,933
that he could put
people on Mars by 1965.

712
00:37:00,027 --> 00:37:02,327
Everything he put in that 91-page manual

713
00:37:02,429 --> 00:37:04,899
is actually still valid today.

714
00:37:04,998 --> 00:37:08,898
Wernher Von Braun outlined our plan

715
00:37:09,002 --> 00:37:11,142
to go to Mars and colonize it.

716
00:37:11,238 --> 00:37:14,868
Well, everybody thinks,
"Well, we just never did that."

717
00:37:14,975 --> 00:37:17,905
There are other people that
think we took his playbook

718
00:37:18,011 --> 00:37:20,511
and that we indeed did colonize Mars,

719
00:37:20,614 --> 00:37:23,354
and that we have
a colony of astronauts there

720
00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:27,550
right now under his tutelage
when he was alive.

721
00:37:27,621 --> 00:37:29,921
There's compelling evidence

722
00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:32,660
that Von Braun was working secretly

723
00:37:32,726 --> 00:37:34,486
with elements of the U.S. government

724
00:37:34,595 --> 00:37:37,525
in an attempt to try to make it to Mars.

725
00:37:37,631 --> 00:37:41,771
Is it possible that was done?

726
00:37:41,869 --> 00:37:43,839
Do you think it's possible
that the government

727
00:37:43,904 --> 00:37:44,904
could keep something a secret?

728
00:37:45,005 --> 00:37:46,505
Absolutely.

729
00:37:46,607 --> 00:37:48,437
Go back to the Manhattan Project.

730
00:37:48,542 --> 00:37:51,782
When they developed
the nuclear bomb, there was over

731
00:37:51,879 --> 00:37:56,009
140,000 personnel
involved in that program.

732
00:37:56,083 --> 00:37:58,723
No one squealed.

733
00:37:58,819 --> 00:38:00,119
No one said what they were doing

734
00:38:00,220 --> 00:38:02,620
and many of those people
were unaware of what

735
00:38:02,723 --> 00:38:06,063
they were working on until
the bomb itself was detonated.

736
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,930
So Von Braun could've been working

737
00:38:08,996 --> 00:38:11,096
on a secret Mars program,

738
00:38:11,165 --> 00:38:12,755
and with the same level of secrecy

739
00:38:12,866 --> 00:38:14,396
as the Manhattan Project,

740
00:38:14,501 --> 00:38:17,241
it still to this day
could be highly classified

741
00:38:17,304 --> 00:38:20,844
and never released
to the public at large.

742
00:38:20,941 --> 00:38:24,681
Werner Von Braun's genius is credited

743
00:38:24,778 --> 00:38:29,548
with being the reason
we ever made it to the moon.

744
00:38:29,616 --> 00:38:33,846
Might he also have orchestrated
a secret mission to Mars?

745
00:38:33,954 --> 00:38:37,864
And if so, what was its purpose?

746
00:38:41,295 --> 00:38:42,595
Torrance, California,

747
00:38:42,663 --> 00:38:45,663
2015.

748
00:38:45,733 --> 00:38:49,973
The board members of a private
space agency lead by Elon Musk,

749
00:38:50,037 --> 00:38:52,067
Space X,

750
00:38:52,139 --> 00:38:55,239
announce that the explicit aim
of the organization

751
00:38:55,309 --> 00:38:59,779
is and always has been
to help humanity colonize Mars.

752
00:38:59,847 --> 00:39:01,907
I do think it is important

753
00:39:02,016 --> 00:39:04,746
that we as a species, as a civilization,

754
00:39:04,852 --> 00:39:08,622
are on a path
to become a true space-far--

755
00:39:08,723 --> 00:39:12,063
a true space-faring civilization
and a multi-planet species.

756
00:39:12,126 --> 00:39:13,686
Elon Musk's position is that humans

757
00:39:13,761 --> 00:39:17,701
cannot survive indefinitely on Earth,

758
00:39:17,765 --> 00:39:20,125
and there are a lot of threats
to the continuation

759
00:39:20,201 --> 00:39:21,771
of human life on Earth--

760
00:39:21,836 --> 00:39:24,436
both from what we're
doing to our own planet,

761
00:39:24,538 --> 00:39:26,808
but also from things like asteroids.

762
00:39:26,908 --> 00:39:29,008
We get a single hit
from an asteroid that's as big

763
00:39:29,110 --> 00:39:32,410
as the one that took out the dinosaurs.

764
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,920
And that, by the way,
is a 100% probability

765
00:39:36,017 --> 00:39:39,747
that that is going to happen,
sooner or later.

766
00:39:39,854 --> 00:39:43,164
Going to Mars, it's a survival instinct.

767
00:39:43,257 --> 00:39:45,657
It's something we know, it's somewhere

768
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,530
in the back of our brains
that we have to do or we die.

769
00:39:51,732 --> 00:39:55,972
I think that's the message
of the ruins of Mars is that

770
00:39:56,070 --> 00:39:58,200
this can happen to you.

771
00:39:58,306 --> 00:40:00,766
And you should think about,
as a species,

772
00:40:00,841 --> 00:40:04,341
ways to ensure that the human
race is not wiped out,

773
00:40:04,445 --> 00:40:06,505
because despite our flaws, we're a very

774
00:40:06,614 --> 00:40:10,354
noble, powerful,
important part of this universe.

775
00:40:10,451 --> 00:40:13,091
It's something that will take us

776
00:40:13,187 --> 00:40:16,187
back to our very beginnings.

777
00:40:16,290 --> 00:40:19,930
And here we'll be really
following in the footsteps

778
00:40:19,994 --> 00:40:24,504
of the ancient astronauts,
who came to Earth.

779
00:40:24,598 --> 00:40:28,128
And ultimately, we will be like them,

780
00:40:28,235 --> 00:40:30,865
being the extraterrestrials ourselves

781
00:40:30,972 --> 00:40:34,672
and colonizing a foreign planet.

782
00:40:34,742 --> 00:40:38,342
When we colonize Mars,

783
00:40:38,412 --> 00:40:40,482
it's a retracing of ancient footsteps.

784
00:40:40,548 --> 00:40:43,178
It will be a reconnection
and a remembering

785
00:40:43,284 --> 00:40:46,024
of where we came from.

786
00:40:46,087 --> 00:40:49,147
And it may be that colonizing Mars

787
00:40:49,256 --> 00:40:51,956
will be our ultimate salvation.

788
00:40:54,628 --> 00:40:57,758
Mars is a very, very logical point,

789
00:40:57,865 --> 00:41:02,625
if life on Earth ever should
become impossible,

790
00:41:02,737 --> 00:41:07,007
that's our next step where to go
if the survival of our species

791
00:41:07,074 --> 00:41:09,214
is at the forefront.

792
00:41:09,276 --> 00:41:12,436
Because maybe that's where we came from.

793
00:41:12,546 --> 00:41:15,846
So maybe we earthlings are the Martians.

794
00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:19,450
Then the question is

795
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,850
has this game been going back and forth

796
00:41:21,956 --> 00:41:24,656
for hundreds of thousands of years?

797
00:41:26,725 --> 00:41:27,785
Is it possible

798
00:41:27,895 --> 00:41:29,855
that the colonization of Mars

799
00:41:29,964 --> 00:41:33,604
is the key to our continued survival?

800
00:41:33,701 --> 00:41:36,141
And if so, have we stood

801
00:41:36,237 --> 00:41:38,737
on this precipice before?

802
00:41:38,806 --> 00:41:41,266
Could there have been a human presence

803
00:41:41,342 --> 00:41:44,882
on Mars thousands of years ago?

804
00:41:44,945 --> 00:41:47,405
Perhaps we will discover

805
00:41:47,515 --> 00:41:50,045
the truth about our alien ancestors

806
00:41:50,151 --> 00:41:52,821
when we become the extraterrestrials

807
00:41:52,887 --> 00:41:55,047
on Mars.
