1
00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:03,665
Everything in ancient Egyptian's world

2
00:00:03,771 --> 00:00:06,241
was revolving around these nine gods.

3
00:00:07,675 --> 00:00:10,075
The idea of a council of nine gods

4
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:12,777
recurs over and over again
throughout history.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,580
It's very possible that there's a group

6
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:17,383
that oversees Planet Earth.

7
00:00:17,485 --> 00:00:19,315
What is their agenda?

8
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:23,560
Is it benevolent, or is there
another agenda to control us?

9
00:00:23,657 --> 00:00:26,427
We might never know
their ultimate purpose,

10
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:28,157
but we should be very, very careful,

11
00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:32,102
because if they don't like
people challenging them,

12
00:00:32,199 --> 00:00:34,029
well, we're doomed.

13
00:00:34,135 --> 00:00:37,365
Since the dawn of civilization,

14
00:00:37,471 --> 00:00:41,571
mankind has credited its origins to gods

15
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:44,175
and other visitors from the stars.

16
00:00:44,278 --> 00:00:47,048
What if it were true?

17
00:00:47,148 --> 00:00:49,778
Did extraterrestrial beings

18
00:00:49,884 --> 00:00:52,824
really help to shape our history?

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,320
And if so, might our planet

20
00:00:56,424 --> 00:00:58,464
still be under the watchful eye

21
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:01,029
of what some people refer to only

22
00:01:01,128 --> 00:01:03,728
as "The Mysterious Nine"?

The Mysterious Nine
Original Air Date on July 8, 2016

25
00:01:34,128 --> 00:01:38,228
December 30, 2013.

26
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:41,732
In an international television
news broadcast,

27
00:01:41,836 --> 00:01:45,636
former Canadian Minister of
National Defense, Paul Hellyer,

28
00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:47,809
makes an astonishing statement.

29
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:49,638
He claims to have knowledge

30
00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:52,643
that extraterrestrials
are visiting Earth.

31
00:01:52,746 --> 00:01:54,646
Why do you say that UFOs

32
00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:58,778
are as real as the airplanes
flying over our heads?

33
00:01:58,886 --> 00:02:01,416
Well, because I know that they are.

34
00:02:01,522 --> 00:02:05,122
And they've been visiting this
planet for thousands of years.

35
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:09,056
And there is what is
called a "federation"

36
00:02:09,163 --> 00:02:12,503
of these people, and they have rules.

37
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:19,240
The interview sent
shockwaves through the media.

38
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:23,414
Viewers questioned why
a high-level official

39
00:02:23,511 --> 00:02:26,711
would make such an announcement.

40
00:02:26,814 --> 00:02:31,024
Paul Hellyer first came forward in 2005,

41
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:34,548
but it wasn't until January of 2014

42
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:37,585
that his story truly went viral.

43
00:02:37,691 --> 00:02:40,391
That gave me the dubious
distinction of being

44
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:44,404
the first person of cabinet rank
in the G8 group of countries

45
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:48,098
who ever said categorically,
without reservation,

46
00:02:48,202 --> 00:02:51,502
UFO's are real, and you have
to accept them as being real.

47
00:02:51,605 --> 00:02:53,435
This is difficult territory.

48
00:02:53,541 --> 00:02:56,211
But I understand there's a federation

49
00:02:56,310 --> 00:03:00,150
that is monitoring us most
closely and keeping tabs on us.

50
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:05,980
Could there be truth
to Hellyer's statements?

51
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:09,656
Is it possible that there
is a galactic federation

52
00:03:09,757 --> 00:03:13,327
of extraterrestrials overseeing Earth?

53
00:03:13,427 --> 00:03:15,387
But if so, what is the evidence

54
00:03:15,496 --> 00:03:18,426
behind such astounding claims?

55
00:03:21,168 --> 00:03:22,598
Edgewood Arsenal,

56
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,643
Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.

57
00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:26,768
1952.

58
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:30,384
As part of a secret government program

59
00:03:30,477 --> 00:03:32,437
termed Project Penguin,

60
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:36,316
medical doctor and psychiatrist
Andrija Puharich

61
00:03:36,417 --> 00:03:38,347
set up a special laboratory

62
00:03:38,452 --> 00:03:40,692
where psychics and military personnel

63
00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:42,148
gathered to investigate

64
00:03:42,256 --> 00:03:43,556
psychological manipulation

65
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:46,427
and hallucinogenic drugs.

66
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:50,031
Perhaps one of the most compelling

67
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:51,600
and controversial aspects

68
00:03:51,699 --> 00:03:54,499
of Puharich's research was channeling,

69
00:03:54,602 --> 00:03:58,602
which involved making contact
with non-physical beings

70
00:03:58,706 --> 00:04:02,206
through the use of psychics.

71
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:03,609
It's very important that we understand

72
00:04:03,711 --> 00:04:06,481
that this was a serious
scientific endeavor.

73
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:10,080
No candles or holy water
or any of that was used.

74
00:04:10,184 --> 00:04:13,594
Puharich used the Faraday cage,

75
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:16,717
a copper room that was
specially insulated

76
00:04:16,824 --> 00:04:18,664
according to US Naval standards,

77
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:22,429
that would prohibit
mid-level electromagnetic waves

78
00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:24,499
and electrostatic.

79
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:28,768
In this Faraday cage,
individuals would relax

80
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:33,469
and allow the mind over matter
signal to take place.

81
00:04:37,177 --> 00:04:40,307
In December, 1952,

82
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:45,124
Puharich invited Hindu mystic
and doctor D.G. Vinod,

83
00:04:45,219 --> 00:04:48,289
to one of these channeling sessions.

84
00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:52,719
During the experiment,
Vinod went into a deep trance

85
00:04:52,826 --> 00:04:57,326
and made contact with a group
of entities called "The Nine."

86
00:04:57,431 --> 00:04:58,701
At the very beginning,

87
00:04:58,799 --> 00:05:00,169
they just announced themselves

88
00:05:00,267 --> 00:05:02,297
as nine principles of the universe.

89
00:05:02,403 --> 00:05:03,973
Well, that's pretty big to start with,

90
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:05,341
but nevertheless,

91
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,209
they said they were extraterrestrials.

92
00:05:07,308 --> 00:05:10,538
They were forces from beyond.

93
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:14,354
The Nine said that they
were an eternal presence,

94
00:05:14,448 --> 00:05:17,448
that they had been watching humanity

95
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:19,221
from the very beginning.

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,620
And that they were gods, guides,

97
00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:26,063
and this was what particularly
interested Puharich.

98
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,390
The idea that if they are gods,

99
00:05:28,495 --> 00:05:30,695
they, of course, have wisdom,

100
00:05:30,798 --> 00:05:34,068
and Puharich wanted to ask for guidance.

101
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:38,568
The Nine came up with a number
of different messages involving

102
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:43,312
their being guardians for
the human race, creators even.

103
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:46,140
Puharich said "What is your name?

104
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:49,006
"Who are you?"

105
00:05:49,116 --> 00:05:51,516
And that was the great revelation

106
00:05:51,618 --> 00:05:56,018
because the being said, "I am Atum."

107
00:05:56,123 --> 00:06:01,393
And Atum was the great
father god of ancient Egypt,

108
00:06:01,495 --> 00:06:05,525
and introducing not only
the nine principles,

109
00:06:05,632 --> 00:06:09,672
but the nine great gods
or the Ennead of ancient Egypt.

110
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:16,009
Is it possible that
Puharich actually made contact

111
00:06:16,110 --> 00:06:19,610
with the nine great gods of Egypt?

112
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:23,153
Could this be evidence of
a long-standing federation

113
00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:28,450
of extraterrestrials
overseeing earthly affairs?

114
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:33,085
But if so, just who were these beings?

115
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:38,296
Heliopolis, Cairo.

116
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:40,399
Known as the Sun City,

117
00:06:40,501 --> 00:06:44,001
this is one of the oldest
and most sacred sites

118
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:45,774
of ancient Egypt.

119
00:06:45,873 --> 00:06:48,173
Although mostly destroyed,

120
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:51,205
an obelisk remains, marking the spot

121
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:55,381
where the temple of the
sun god, Atum, once stood.

122
00:06:55,482 --> 00:06:58,422
Here, the ancient pharaohs

123
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:00,349
would connect to the Ennead,

124
00:07:00,454 --> 00:07:03,494
a council of nine deities
who were said to have brought

125
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,730
technology and knowledge to mankind.

126
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:09,957
According to Egyptian hieroglyphs,

127
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:12,063
consultation with the Ennead

128
00:07:12,166 --> 00:07:14,466
was chief among the pharaohs' duties,

129
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:17,598
and critical to the
success of the nation.

130
00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:24,183
Heliopolis was the
Vatican of ancient Egypt.

131
00:07:24,278 --> 00:07:28,248
This was the seat,
the helm if you like, the...

132
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:31,748
the abode of the famous
Ennead, the nine gods

133
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:35,422
that ruled from the sky,
and governed Egypt

134
00:07:35,522 --> 00:07:38,592
from a place in the sky.

135
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:42,232
The Ennead started with god Atum,

136
00:07:42,329 --> 00:07:46,059
the god of the solar disc;

137
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:48,166
god Shu,

138
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,598
the god of the wind,

139
00:07:50,704 --> 00:07:53,744
and goddess Tefnut,

140
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,840
the goddess of the water;

141
00:07:56,943 --> 00:07:58,783
god Geb,

142
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:01,848
the god of the land,

143
00:08:01,948 --> 00:08:03,448
and goddess Nut,

144
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:06,650
the goddess of the sky;

145
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:07,993
Isis,

146
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:10,488
the mother to all the kings;

147
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:11,890
god Osiris,

148
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:14,092
the god of good;

149
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:15,734
god Set,

150
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:17,959
the god of evil;

151
00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:20,474
and goddess Nephthys,

152
00:08:20,567 --> 00:08:23,227
the goddess of death.

153
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:28,668
Everything in ancient Egyptian's world

154
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:31,905
was revolving around these nine gods.

155
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,109
So, the pharaoh of Egypt

156
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:38,745
would have to consult with
the nine gods, the Ennead,

157
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:42,652
with every aspect in life to make sure

158
00:08:42,756 --> 00:08:45,016
he is doing the right thing,

159
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:47,655
and every ancient Egyptian local,

160
00:08:47,761 --> 00:08:49,891
would have their full trust that

161
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:54,196
anything coming out
from the mouth of the king

162
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,730
is the word of god

163
00:08:56,836 --> 00:08:59,596
because he already heard it.

164
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:01,436
The pharaoh was the special

165
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,471
emissary to the gods;

166
00:09:03,576 --> 00:09:05,736
and therefore, the gods
were able to speak

167
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:07,005
directly through the pharaoh.

168
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:08,753
A case can be made

169
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:11,448
that the pharaoh allowing the gods in

170
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:14,991
to speak through him
is similar to the channeling

171
00:09:15,088 --> 00:09:16,988
that is done through mediums today.

172
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:20,660
Nine otherworldly beings

173
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,130
speaking through the pharaoh?

174
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:26,999
Might the modern-day channeling
sessions with the Nine,

175
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,800
conducted during the secret

176
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,942
military experiments in the 1950s,

177
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:36,608
be mirroring those experienced
by the ancient Egyptians?

178
00:09:36,709 --> 00:09:40,139
The Ennead were actually
extraterrestrial beings

179
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:43,776
here to administer
and guide human affairs.

180
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:49,093
The pyramid texts tell us
that Atum came from Sirius.

181
00:09:49,189 --> 00:09:52,489
It's quite fascinating to
contemplate the possibility

182
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:57,502
that Dr. Puharich was part
of a long line of initiates

183
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,597
who were contacted by the Ennead.

184
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:01,999
The rulers and the presidents,

185
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:04,202
and the kings and the queens
throughout history

186
00:10:04,304 --> 00:10:07,974
always have these stories
of consulting higher forces.

187
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:12,509
Could we still have
these extraterrestrial

188
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:16,282
or pandimensional overlords
existing today

189
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:20,822
that are guiding the rulers
of various nations?

190
00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:24,785
Could it really be that Puharich

191
00:10:24,891 --> 00:10:28,191
inadvertently made contact
with the same beings

192
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:32,534
that were consulted by
the ancient Egyptian pharaohs?

193
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:36,272
And might these be the extraterrestrials

194
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:39,239
that former Canadian
Defense Minister Paul Hellyer,

195
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:41,669
was referring to?

196
00:10:41,774 --> 00:10:45,744
Perhaps more evidence can
be found in numerous accounts

197
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:48,705
from across the globe of otherworldly

198
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:50,915
councils of nine.

199
00:10:52,252 --> 00:10:54,592
These extraterrestrial beings,

200
00:10:54,687 --> 00:10:57,557
they're turning up again
and again in human history.

201
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,887
These are gods who are

202
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:01,663
deeply and fundamentally involved

203
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:03,061
in humans' lives.

204
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:06,000
_

205
00:11:09,969 --> 00:11:12,269
Southeast Asia.

206
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,272
Every year during the ninth lunar month

207
00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:16,975
of the Chinese calendar,

208
00:11:17,077 --> 00:11:20,577
thousands of Taoists
throughout the region celebrate

209
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,620
a 2,000-year-old tradition called

210
00:11:23,717 --> 00:11:26,117
The Nine Emperor Gods Festival.

211
00:11:30,423 --> 00:11:33,023
The Nine Emperor Gods Festival
is a very, very important

212
00:11:33,126 --> 00:11:37,726
festival in southeast Asian
Chinese communities...

213
00:11:38,765 --> 00:11:40,025
...and it revolves

214
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:42,773
around a carnival-like ritual

215
00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:46,569
that takes place for nine full days.

216
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:48,673
The point of this, uh, festival

217
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:53,135
is to summon, the very, very
powerful Nine Emperor Gods...

218
00:11:54,781 --> 00:11:55,911
...because they're seen

219
00:11:56,016 --> 00:11:58,446
as residing up in the skies.

220
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:05,590
The nine Sky Lords are believed

221
00:12:05,692 --> 00:12:09,792
by Taoists to have been
the original rulers of China

222
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:14,166
and the offspring of the
supreme god of creation.

223
00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:17,569
According to legend,

224
00:12:17,671 --> 00:12:20,671
the Nine Emperor Gods
come from the nine stars

225
00:12:20,774 --> 00:12:22,314
that make up the Big Dipper,

226
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:24,539
seven of which are visible

227
00:12:24,644 --> 00:12:26,984
and two that are invisible.

228
00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:33,220
They are tasked with
controlling the universe

229
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,150
and keeping order on Earth.

230
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:42,259
There are typically about
nine spirit mediums who, uh,

231
00:12:42,362 --> 00:12:45,932
enter a trance, and then
channel these gods...

232
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:48,497
to bring them down

233
00:12:48,602 --> 00:12:51,102
and to keep them very content and happy.

234
00:12:51,204 --> 00:12:54,274
The reason why it's crucial
to keep them happy

235
00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:56,144
is because they keep an account,

236
00:12:56,242 --> 00:12:58,142
a record of everything
that happens on Earth.

237
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:01,514
They control human destiny.

238
00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:03,775
At the end of the nine days,

239
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:05,753
when the festival reaches its climax,

240
00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:09,722
the gods eventually return to
the stars from which they came.

241
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:18,157
Curiously, this idea
of nine gods, or overlords,

242
00:13:18,264 --> 00:13:21,504
watching over Earth
can be found in cultures

243
00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:23,031
throughout the world.

244
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:27,008
The Aztecs of Meso-America

245
00:13:27,107 --> 00:13:29,137
were known to worship nine gods

246
00:13:29,242 --> 00:13:32,182
called the Lords of the Night.

247
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:38,054
In the Norse tradition,
nine gods survive the Ragnarok,

248
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,881
or earthly destruction.

249
00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:45,915
According to Buddhist legend,
the Emperor Ashoka consulted

250
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:50,186
with a secret society
called the Nine Unknown Men

251
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:53,826
who were said to possess
the knowledge of the universe.

252
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:57,495
The ancient Etruscans of Italy

253
00:13:57,604 --> 00:13:59,674
also believed in nine gods

254
00:13:59,773 --> 00:14:04,013
that could be persuaded to
influence the fate of mankind.

255
00:14:06,146 --> 00:14:10,146
And in Greek mythology,
Zeus led a council of nine gods

256
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:13,150
created to oversee humanity.

257
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:19,619
The canonical Olympian gods
are imagined to be about 12,

258
00:14:19,726 --> 00:14:22,886
and they have a sort of
governing body as well,

259
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:25,526
and so they have a council.

260
00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:28,972
For the most part, the nine
most important gods are there

261
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:31,599
sitting at the top of that is Zeus.

262
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:35,165
These make up the-the power
structure of the heavens.

263
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:38,905
And they occasionally meet to determine

264
00:14:39,012 --> 00:14:41,882
what they're going to do about mankind.

265
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:46,123
Zeus created the Council of Nine,

266
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:51,219
and this was Aphrodite, Apollo,
Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus,

267
00:14:51,324 --> 00:14:55,334
Hera, Hermes, Poseidon and Zeus himself.

268
00:14:57,731 --> 00:14:59,831
And these are the gods
that then could interact

269
00:14:59,933 --> 00:15:02,373
with humans, I guess to keep us in line.

270
00:15:07,006 --> 00:15:10,876
These are gods who are deeply
and fundamentally involved

271
00:15:10,977 --> 00:15:13,437
in humans' lives,
and the gods occasionally

272
00:15:13,546 --> 00:15:15,606
have to clean things up,

273
00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:18,675
and so, there's a few times
in the mythological tradition

274
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:20,445
we hear about the gods deciding,

275
00:15:20,553 --> 00:15:22,453
rather like we hear in Genesis,

276
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:24,455
that they're gonna wipe the slate clean

277
00:15:24,557 --> 00:15:28,587
and just start new entirely
with a brand new human race.

278
00:15:30,997 --> 00:15:32,897
Is it purely coincidence

279
00:15:32,999 --> 00:15:35,129
that so many ancient cultures,

280
00:15:35,235 --> 00:15:37,795
separated by thousands of miles,

281
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:41,574
all worship a group of nine gods?

282
00:15:42,842 --> 00:15:43,882
And could it be

283
00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:46,537
that these beings were not gods,

284
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:48,806
but extraterrestrial visitors

285
00:15:48,915 --> 00:15:51,915
as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

286
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:55,018
Visitors that are working
behind the scenes

287
00:15:55,121 --> 00:15:58,861
and still watching over us today?

288
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,988
I'm always asked about
ancient astronauts.

289
00:16:02,095 --> 00:16:03,525
Why did they leave?

290
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:04,960
How come they're not here anymore?

291
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:08,504
And personally,
I never said that they left.

292
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:10,971
I think they've arrived,
and they've stayed.

293
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:14,810
And so that plays into the whole idea

294
00:16:14,908 --> 00:16:17,878
that we are this ongoing project

295
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:21,507
by extraterrestrial species,

296
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:22,854
and that they are observing us--

297
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:25,519
have observed us, from afar.

298
00:16:25,618 --> 00:16:28,688
Because according to
the creation stories,

299
00:16:28,788 --> 00:16:31,188
we are their offspring.

300
00:16:31,291 --> 00:16:32,921
So if the council exists,

301
00:16:33,026 --> 00:16:37,156
they are here to observe their creation.

302
00:16:40,733 --> 00:16:42,933
The idea of a council of gods,

303
00:16:43,036 --> 00:16:44,996
especially nine gods,

304
00:16:45,104 --> 00:16:47,514
recurs over and over again
throughout history.

305
00:16:47,607 --> 00:16:51,077
People today claim
that they're in contact

306
00:16:51,177 --> 00:16:53,077
with a divine council.

307
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:55,909
When you look at this,
you have to ask,

308
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:59,175
is it possible that these are
actually the same group

309
00:16:59,285 --> 00:17:01,045
of extraterrestrial beings

310
00:17:01,154 --> 00:17:04,494
that are turning up again
and again in human history?

311
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:06,991
And that in fact,
they may have a long-term

312
00:17:07,093 --> 00:17:09,293
or long-range plan for humanity.

313
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:13,160
Might it be that these nine gods

314
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:16,726
found across various cultures
throughout the globe,

315
00:17:16,836 --> 00:17:19,896
are in fact the same beings?

316
00:17:20,006 --> 00:17:22,436
And if so, does this give credibility

317
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:24,912
to the claims of contact

318
00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:29,881
during military experiments
conducted in the 1950s?

319
00:17:32,818 --> 00:17:34,588
All around the world,

320
00:17:34,687 --> 00:17:37,387
in a remarkably cross-cultural way,

321
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:40,290
we get the Nine.

322
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:44,633
And when Puharich started channeling,

323
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:46,360
the Nine cropped up again.

324
00:17:46,465 --> 00:17:48,095
Coincidence?

325
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,970
Or was he accessing something

326
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,539
that has been with us
since the dawn of time?

327
00:17:54,373 --> 00:17:57,513
Does this notion of
an otherworldly council of nine,

328
00:17:57,610 --> 00:18:01,350
that is found in so
many ancient cultures,

329
00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:05,247
provide proof that there
really are alien overlords

330
00:18:05,351 --> 00:18:09,251
that have been steering
the course of humanity?

331
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:12,955
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

332
00:18:13,058 --> 00:18:15,528
and claim that, incredibly,

333
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:19,228
physical evidence of this
can be found, not on Earth,

334
00:18:19,331 --> 00:18:22,431
but circling high above it.

335
00:18:25,037 --> 00:18:26,067
Coming up...

336
00:18:26,172 --> 00:18:27,342
This is something

337
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,540
that has a dark, streamlined,

338
00:18:29,642 --> 00:18:31,312
technological appearance.

339
00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:34,710
This is an extraterrestrial satellite

340
00:18:34,814 --> 00:18:37,114
that has been monitoring Planet Earth.

341
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:40,000
_

342
00:18:43,662 --> 00:18:46,262
December, 1998.

343
00:18:48,134 --> 00:18:51,044
During the assembly of the
International Space Station,

344
00:18:51,137 --> 00:18:55,267
U.S. astronauts spot
a large unidentified item

345
00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:56,605
orbiting the earth.

346
00:18:58,344 --> 00:19:01,084
They take photographs
of the mysterious object,

347
00:19:01,180 --> 00:19:04,350
and post them on the NASA website.

348
00:19:05,651 --> 00:19:06,751
When you actually look

349
00:19:06,819 --> 00:19:08,719
at the photographs of the object,

350
00:19:08,821 --> 00:19:11,621
it very obviously looks artificial.

351
00:19:11,724 --> 00:19:13,624
This is not a meteor.

352
00:19:13,726 --> 00:19:15,786
This is not a chunk of rock.

353
00:19:17,196 --> 00:19:18,596
This is something that has

354
00:19:18,664 --> 00:19:22,574
a dark, streamlined,
technological appearance,

355
00:19:22,635 --> 00:19:25,235
almost like some of the stealth
aircraft that we've built,

356
00:19:25,338 --> 00:19:29,908
with a kind of bent nose in the
front, sort of like a hawk.

357
00:19:33,646 --> 00:19:35,106
Curiously,

358
00:19:35,181 --> 00:19:38,521
NASA officials quickly
remove the photos,

359
00:19:38,618 --> 00:19:41,788
and claim the object was space debris--

360
00:19:41,888 --> 00:19:44,158
most likely a thermal blanket,

361
00:19:44,257 --> 00:19:48,227
inadvertently released
from the space station.

362
00:19:48,294 --> 00:19:52,334
But some independent researchers
are not convinced,

363
00:19:52,398 --> 00:19:55,468
and suggest that it might
be the latest evidence

364
00:19:55,568 --> 00:19:57,398
of the "Black Knight" satellite

365
00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:59,470
that first made headlines

366
00:19:59,572 --> 00:20:02,342
three years before
the first man-made satellite

367
00:20:02,442 --> 00:20:05,112
was launched into orbit.

368
00:20:05,211 --> 00:20:10,181
In 1954, both The San Francisco Examiner

369
00:20:10,283 --> 00:20:12,253
and the Aviation Week Journal

370
00:20:12,318 --> 00:20:15,388
published articles detailing
what appeared to be

371
00:20:15,488 --> 00:20:21,728
artificial satellites
orbiting the earth.

372
00:20:21,828 --> 00:20:23,758
It really shocked a lot of people,

373
00:20:23,863 --> 00:20:26,703
because although the concept
of satellites were known,

374
00:20:26,766 --> 00:20:29,726
nobody on the planet
was flying a satellite.

375
00:20:30,770 --> 00:20:32,470
The story really takes off

376
00:20:32,572 --> 00:20:34,512
with a man named
Major Donald Keyhoe.

377
00:20:34,607 --> 00:20:37,067
He was formerly with the U.S. military,

378
00:20:37,143 --> 00:20:39,743
and wrote a number of books on UFOs.

379
00:20:41,314 --> 00:20:43,754
One of the things that
Keyhoe wrote about

380
00:20:43,850 --> 00:20:47,180
was how supposedly a number of
military insiders had told him,

381
00:20:47,286 --> 00:20:48,816
that the U.S. military

382
00:20:48,921 --> 00:20:52,521
was tracking one or two
unknown satellites

383
00:20:52,592 --> 00:20:55,162
of extraordinary size in Earth orbit.

384
00:20:55,228 --> 00:20:56,858
Nobody knew what they were.

385
00:20:56,963 --> 00:20:58,463
This was long before Sputnik,

386
00:20:58,564 --> 00:21:00,364
the first satellite launched
by the Russians.

387
00:21:00,433 --> 00:21:06,203
And it gave rise to the idea
that it was extraterrestrial.

388
00:21:09,509 --> 00:21:11,739
The United States Department of Defense

389
00:21:11,844 --> 00:21:14,484
was said to have
recruited the assistance

390
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:18,280
of astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh, in 1953,

391
00:21:18,351 --> 00:21:20,821
to identify this strange object.

392
00:21:20,887 --> 00:21:26,587
However, his conclusions
were never made public.

393
00:21:26,692 --> 00:21:30,532
Based on its appearance
on radar in the 1960s,

394
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:33,330
scientists estimated
that the mystery satellite

395
00:21:33,432 --> 00:21:36,172
weighed over ten tons.

396
00:21:36,269 --> 00:21:39,099
It was not only several times larger

397
00:21:39,172 --> 00:21:41,272
than anything worldwide space programs

398
00:21:41,340 --> 00:21:42,710
were capable of launching,

399
00:21:42,808 --> 00:21:45,478
but it also seemed to be traveling

400
00:21:45,545 --> 00:21:47,305
in an artificial orbit,

401
00:21:47,413 --> 00:21:51,453
circling the earth from pole to pole.

402
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:57,218
The Black Knight is said
to be in a polar orbit,

403
00:21:57,323 --> 00:21:58,593
which is what you would do

404
00:21:58,691 --> 00:22:00,591
if you wanted to cover
the entire Planet Earth

405
00:22:00,693 --> 00:22:02,093
as it rotated underneath you.

406
00:22:02,195 --> 00:22:05,125
Weather satellites, spy satellites

407
00:22:05,231 --> 00:22:06,731
are commonly put into this polar orbit

408
00:22:06,832 --> 00:22:09,102
in order to cover the entire
surface of the earth.

409
00:22:09,168 --> 00:22:12,638
This implies that it
is an unnatural object.

410
00:22:15,741 --> 00:22:18,281
What's particularly intriguing
about this satellite

411
00:22:18,377 --> 00:22:20,477
is it's not one of ours.

412
00:22:20,546 --> 00:22:22,046
In other words, the theory is

413
00:22:22,148 --> 00:22:25,448
that this is an
extraterrestrial satellite

414
00:22:25,551 --> 00:22:28,621
that has perhaps been
monitoring Planet Earth

415
00:22:28,721 --> 00:22:31,391
for thousands of years.

416
00:22:33,726 --> 00:22:37,426
In the 1930s ham radio operators

417
00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:42,200
claimed they were picking up
radio signals from outer space.

418
00:22:42,301 --> 00:22:44,801
And Nikola Tesla himself claimed

419
00:22:44,904 --> 00:22:49,074
that he was picking up
radio signals from Mars.

420
00:22:49,175 --> 00:22:50,605
So you have to wonder,

421
00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:53,810
were ham radio operators
and even Nikola Tesla,

422
00:22:53,913 --> 00:22:55,653
somehow picking up signals

423
00:22:55,748 --> 00:22:59,848
from this extraterrestrial
ship orbiting our planet?

424
00:23:02,188 --> 00:23:03,518
A ham radio operator

425
00:23:03,623 --> 00:23:05,823
was able to decipher this signal,

426
00:23:05,925 --> 00:23:09,225
and create a matrix grid
of individual dots

427
00:23:09,295 --> 00:23:11,425
that were either white or black.

428
00:23:11,497 --> 00:23:13,197
When he looked at this grid,

429
00:23:13,299 --> 00:23:14,699
he concluded that it was a map

430
00:23:14,767 --> 00:23:17,567
of the Epsilon Bootes constellation,

431
00:23:17,670 --> 00:23:20,140
positioned where it would have been

432
00:23:20,206 --> 00:23:22,666
13,000 years ago.

433
00:23:26,145 --> 00:23:28,045
Might this mysterious object

434
00:23:28,147 --> 00:23:32,417
actually have traveled
to earth 13,000 years ago?

435
00:23:32,485 --> 00:23:36,385
And if so, was it put into orbit

436
00:23:36,489 --> 00:23:40,719
by extraterrestrials
in order to observe Earth?

437
00:23:40,826 --> 00:23:44,326
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

438
00:23:44,430 --> 00:23:48,630
and suggest that descriptions
of an extraterrestrial satellite

439
00:23:48,701 --> 00:23:52,671
can even be found
thousands of years ago,

440
00:23:52,772 --> 00:23:58,382
in the Hebrew text known
as the "Apocalypse of Baruch".

441
00:24:01,881 --> 00:24:04,081
The Apocalypse of Baruch

442
00:24:04,150 --> 00:24:06,620
is one of the best
ancient astronaut stories

443
00:24:06,686 --> 00:24:09,086
in existence,

444
00:24:09,155 --> 00:24:11,115
because it describes

445
00:24:11,223 --> 00:24:14,023
an eyewitness account of a satellite

446
00:24:14,126 --> 00:24:15,356
orbiting the earth.

447
00:24:15,428 --> 00:24:17,028
Baruch describes

448
00:24:17,129 --> 00:24:20,599
how he sees a magnificent bird

449
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:24,270
that watched the
happenings on the planet.

450
00:24:24,337 --> 00:24:26,597
And from time to time this bird

451
00:24:26,706 --> 00:24:29,166
would extend its wings

452
00:24:29,241 --> 00:24:33,781
to glean or to gather
the power of the sun.

453
00:24:33,879 --> 00:24:38,219
And after flying around,
that bird would be so exhausted

454
00:24:38,317 --> 00:24:41,317
it would retract its wings.

455
00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:44,320
If we look at today's
satellites in space,

456
00:24:44,423 --> 00:24:46,423
it's the same story.

457
00:24:46,525 --> 00:24:49,655
We have solar cells on
wings that can extend,

458
00:24:49,729 --> 00:24:51,759
and then they can retract at will.

459
00:24:51,864 --> 00:24:55,374
So what if Baruch witnessed
something similar?

460
00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:59,169
Baruch himself said

461
00:24:59,271 --> 00:25:01,911
that this is
"the guardian of the earth."

462
00:25:05,444 --> 00:25:07,544
Might the mythological bird

463
00:25:07,646 --> 00:25:10,306
described in the
Apocalypse of Baruch

464
00:25:10,416 --> 00:25:14,046
have actually been an
observational satellite?

465
00:25:14,153 --> 00:25:18,163
Could this be proof
that extraterrestrials

466
00:25:18,257 --> 00:25:22,227
have been keeping watch over
Earth for thousands of years,

467
00:25:22,328 --> 00:25:25,728
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

468
00:25:25,831 --> 00:25:29,731
And if so, do they pose a threat?

469
00:25:29,835 --> 00:25:32,735
Perhaps additional clues can be found

470
00:25:32,838 --> 00:25:36,338
by exploring the rumors
of an alien encounter...

471
00:25:36,442 --> 00:25:38,742
at the White House.

472
00:25:42,181 --> 00:25:44,281
He wanted to meet with
President Eisenhower.

473
00:25:44,383 --> 00:25:46,783
So they took him to the Oval Office.

474
00:25:46,886 --> 00:25:49,146
He was brought to the president

475
00:25:49,255 --> 00:25:51,255
and the vice president, and they put him

476
00:25:51,357 --> 00:25:52,657
on VIP status for three years.

477
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:56,000
_

478
00:25:57,405 --> 00:26:01,365
Washington D.C., 1957.

479
00:26:01,942 --> 00:26:04,642
A federal marshal and chaplain

480
00:26:04,712 --> 00:26:07,952
who had top-secret security
clearance at the Pentagon,

481
00:26:08,049 --> 00:26:09,949
Dr. Frank Stranges,

482
00:26:10,051 --> 00:26:12,821
is introduced to an
extraterrestrial being

483
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,820
named Valiant Thor,

484
00:26:14,889 --> 00:26:17,819
who is secretly working with
the United States government.

485
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:21,960
Stranges later goes public

486
00:26:22,063 --> 00:26:23,763
with the shocking allegations

487
00:26:23,865 --> 00:26:25,225
in his groundbreaking book,

488
00:26:25,333 --> 00:26:28,273
Stranger at the Pentagon.

489
00:26:31,172 --> 00:26:33,112
Dr. Frank Stranges said that

490
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:36,244
on March 16, 1957,

491
00:26:36,344 --> 00:26:40,784
Valiant Thor arrived in a scout ship,

492
00:26:40,882 --> 00:26:43,282
which landed in Alexandria, Virginia

493
00:26:43,384 --> 00:26:45,994
in an agricultural field at 8:00 a.m.

494
00:26:46,087 --> 00:26:48,947
The police were the first on the scene.

495
00:26:49,023 --> 00:26:51,663
And they had a conversation with him.

496
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:54,789
He wanted to meet with
President Eisenhower.

497
00:26:54,896 --> 00:26:57,196
So they took him through the Pentagon

498
00:26:57,298 --> 00:26:59,768
where he met with the
Secretary of Defense.

499
00:26:59,834 --> 00:27:02,174
Once that was cleared,

500
00:27:02,270 --> 00:27:04,940
they brought him over
to the Oval Office to meet

501
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:08,739
with Eisenhower, Nixon,
and all the joint chiefs.

502
00:27:10,745 --> 00:27:14,045
Stranges' account was
backed up by Harley Byrd,

503
00:27:14,115 --> 00:27:16,775
the nephew of Admiral Richard E. Byrd,

504
00:27:16,851 --> 00:27:19,151
who worked for the Department of Defense

505
00:27:19,220 --> 00:27:22,920
from 1957 to 1963.

506
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:27,062
Byrd was assigned to Project Blue Book,

507
00:27:27,128 --> 00:27:32,198
the secret military program
that investigated UFO reports.

508
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,130
And he wrote the foreword
to Stranges' book.

509
00:27:38,004 --> 00:27:39,474
There have been face-to-face meetings

510
00:27:39,573 --> 00:27:41,113
between United States officials

511
00:27:41,207 --> 00:27:45,207
and people from other
star systems. Period.

512
00:27:45,312 --> 00:27:47,982
The best evidence that I think there is,

513
00:27:48,048 --> 00:27:50,918
is the case of Valiant Thor

514
00:27:51,017 --> 00:27:53,587
and his visit to the, uh,
capital in the U.S.

515
00:27:53,687 --> 00:27:58,457
He remained in the United States
for three years.

516
00:27:58,558 --> 00:28:00,828
And did a multitude of things there.

517
00:28:00,927 --> 00:28:03,127
Communicating with various people

518
00:28:03,229 --> 00:28:05,999
and discussing the state of
affairs in the United States

519
00:28:06,099 --> 00:28:07,499
and in the cosmos.

520
00:28:08,969 --> 00:28:10,639
According to accounts,

521
00:28:10,737 --> 00:28:14,507
Valiant Thor had been sent
to Earth by the High Council

522
00:28:14,608 --> 00:28:18,708
to intervene on behalf of the
intergalactic community.

523
00:28:21,681 --> 00:28:23,581
They were worried because
our nuclear capabilities

524
00:28:23,683 --> 00:28:28,153
had become an interstellar concern.

525
00:28:28,254 --> 00:28:30,824
The story goes that
Valiant Thor had contact

526
00:28:30,890 --> 00:28:35,460
with high level members
of the U.S. government

527
00:28:35,528 --> 00:28:38,628
and the military including
the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

528
00:28:38,698 --> 00:28:41,528
essentially giving a friendly
warning that, hey,

529
00:28:41,601 --> 00:28:43,941
if you don't disarm
your nuclear weapons,

530
00:28:44,037 --> 00:28:45,737
and if the Russians don't,

531
00:28:45,805 --> 00:28:48,835
it's all gonna end in complete
destruction for everybody

532
00:28:48,942 --> 00:28:50,942
and the obliteration of the human race.

533
00:28:51,044 --> 00:28:55,514
And Thor wasn't some sort of
bullying-type character.

534
00:28:55,615 --> 00:28:58,675
He wanted the people
of Earth to understand

535
00:28:58,785 --> 00:29:00,885
and take action themselves,

536
00:29:00,987 --> 00:29:02,647
rather than being forced into it.

537
00:29:02,722 --> 00:29:06,462
The story actually sounds
quite like the scenario

538
00:29:06,526 --> 00:29:09,056
presented in the 1951 movie,

539
00:29:09,162 --> 00:29:11,462
The Day the Earth Stood Still.

540
00:29:11,531 --> 00:29:13,871
Very, very similar scenario.

541
00:29:16,002 --> 00:29:19,702
As outlandish as the claims seem to be,

542
00:29:19,806 --> 00:29:23,676
photographs have surfaced of
Thor meeting with top officials

543
00:29:23,777 --> 00:29:27,677
and no one has stepped
forward to dispute them.

544
00:29:27,781 --> 00:29:31,081
Even members of
President Eisenhower's family,

545
00:29:31,184 --> 00:29:33,824
including his great granddaughter,
Laura Eisenhower,

546
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,950
insist the story is true.

547
00:29:38,057 --> 00:29:42,487
Valiant Thor supposedly
showed up around 1957,

548
00:29:42,562 --> 00:29:44,162
and was brought to the president
and the vice president,

549
00:29:44,264 --> 00:29:46,634
and they put him on
VIP status for three years.

550
00:29:47,801 --> 00:29:49,801
And Eisenhower really wanted

551
00:29:49,903 --> 00:29:52,203
to let humanity know about this,

552
00:29:52,272 --> 00:29:54,672
but, the secretary of defense,

553
00:29:54,741 --> 00:29:58,141
the head of the Central
Intelligence Agency,

554
00:29:58,211 --> 00:30:01,011
and the military Joint Chiefs
of Staff opposed it.

555
00:30:01,114 --> 00:30:05,584
And even though Eisenhower was
intent on having a meeting

556
00:30:05,652 --> 00:30:07,222
with the General Assembly
of the United Nations,

557
00:30:07,287 --> 00:30:12,517
in order to present the story
to them, that was shut down too.

558
00:30:12,625 --> 00:30:15,185
Ultimately his mission,

559
00:30:15,295 --> 00:30:19,555
which was on behalf of the
federation, was not taken up.

560
00:30:19,666 --> 00:30:20,896
His mission was aborted.

561
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,570
He didn't accomplish what he came for,

562
00:30:24,671 --> 00:30:26,801
because the decision was made--

563
00:30:26,906 --> 00:30:30,536
not by the president himself--
but it was made by people

564
00:30:30,643 --> 00:30:34,253
like the secretary
of defense, and the CIA.

565
00:30:34,314 --> 00:30:37,584
And this, I think, was a
turning point in the history

566
00:30:37,684 --> 00:30:40,494
of the United States and the world.

567
00:30:40,587 --> 00:30:44,657
We had an opportunity then
to change our ways,

568
00:30:44,758 --> 00:30:47,958
and we missed the opportunity.

569
00:30:48,027 --> 00:30:50,657
We blew it, to put it bluntly.

570
00:30:51,764 --> 00:30:53,604
What's very interesting here

571
00:30:53,666 --> 00:30:56,966
in terms of Valiant Thor's
timing was whether or not

572
00:30:57,036 --> 00:31:00,566
this was something that
was part of a larger plan,

573
00:31:00,673 --> 00:31:03,743
whether there are these
overlords who are there

574
00:31:03,843 --> 00:31:06,043
behind the scenes controlling humanity.

575
00:31:06,146 --> 00:31:08,876
Valiant Thor claimed
that he had been sent

576
00:31:08,948 --> 00:31:12,518
by a high council to talk to

577
00:31:12,585 --> 00:31:14,615
the military leaders of Earth

578
00:31:14,687 --> 00:31:16,547
and warn them of

579
00:31:16,656 --> 00:31:20,986
the dangers of nuclear weapons.

580
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,500
And you have to wonder...
is Valiant Thor

581
00:31:25,598 --> 00:31:29,468
some kind of representative
of this Council of Nine

582
00:31:29,569 --> 00:31:33,599
that's watching over planet Earth

583
00:31:33,706 --> 00:31:35,336
that Puharich had been talking about?

584
00:31:40,579 --> 00:31:43,579
Is it conceivable that
an extraterrestrial emissary

585
00:31:43,649 --> 00:31:45,349
for a Council of Nine

586
00:31:45,451 --> 00:31:49,491
really made contact with
the United States government?

587
00:31:49,588 --> 00:31:55,188
And if so, was his mission
ultimately a failure?

588
00:31:55,294 --> 00:31:58,104
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest

589
00:31:58,197 --> 00:32:01,367
that perhaps the
Mysterious Nine succeeded

590
00:32:01,467 --> 00:32:03,397
in delivering a message to mankind

591
00:32:03,502 --> 00:32:06,272
through other, more receptive channels.

592
00:32:10,543 --> 00:32:12,243
Science fiction

593
00:32:12,311 --> 00:32:16,451
is preparing people for final contact.

594
00:32:16,549 --> 00:32:18,479
Gene Roddenberry sat in

595
00:32:18,584 --> 00:32:20,384
and could ask questions of

596
00:32:20,486 --> 00:32:21,786
the Council of Nine.

597
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:24,000
_

598
00:32:26,709 --> 00:32:30,109
Ossining, New York. 1958.

599
00:32:30,212 --> 00:32:34,452
After his initial contact with the Nine,

600
00:32:34,550 --> 00:32:36,520
Dr. Andrija Puharich creates

601
00:32:36,619 --> 00:32:40,389
the Roundtable Foundation
at his private estate.

602
00:32:42,224 --> 00:32:44,024
Various psychics and mediums

603
00:32:44,126 --> 00:32:45,956
are invited to channel

604
00:32:46,062 --> 00:32:48,332
the self-proclaimed Egyptian deities

605
00:32:48,431 --> 00:32:50,561
for a group of influential observers.

606
00:32:52,268 --> 00:32:55,468
Puharich just simply carried on

607
00:32:55,571 --> 00:32:58,371
investigating psychic abilities.

608
00:32:58,474 --> 00:33:00,544
His idea almost certainly
from the the beginning,

609
00:33:00,643 --> 00:33:03,313
was to hook, uh, big names,

610
00:33:03,412 --> 00:33:05,912
movers and shakers, writers,

611
00:33:06,015 --> 00:33:10,445
people who could ensure
that the message of the Nine

612
00:33:10,553 --> 00:33:13,223
reached the top layer of society,

613
00:33:13,322 --> 00:33:15,622
but who could be trusted
with a big secret.

614
00:33:15,725 --> 00:33:19,185
Among the participants in these
meetings were Warren McCulloch,

615
00:33:19,295 --> 00:33:21,555
who was an early pioneer in cybernetics.

616
00:33:21,664 --> 00:33:26,034
Another was John J. Hammond,
who was considered to be

617
00:33:26,135 --> 00:33:28,135
the student of Nikola Tesla.

618
00:33:28,237 --> 00:33:31,707
Henry A. Wallace, President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's

619
00:33:31,807 --> 00:33:34,537
secretary of agriculture
and third term VP,

620
00:33:34,643 --> 00:33:37,143
was also a participant
in these meetings.

621
00:33:37,246 --> 00:33:39,706
Ultimately, they appeared
to be deeply interested

622
00:33:39,815 --> 00:33:42,245
in how the human mind can connect

623
00:33:42,351 --> 00:33:44,751
with the extraterrestrial mind.

624
00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:49,589
One observer of the
Roundtable Foundation,

625
00:33:49,692 --> 00:33:52,992
according to his writing
assistant Jon Povill,

626
00:33:53,095 --> 00:33:57,295
was future Star Trek
creator Gene Roddenberry.

627
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,370
Povill claims Roddenberry actively

628
00:34:00,469 --> 00:34:02,299
participated in the sessions,

629
00:34:02,405 --> 00:34:05,565
and that parts of the Star Trek
television series

630
00:34:05,674 --> 00:34:08,284
may not be Roddenberry's work at all,

631
00:34:08,377 --> 00:34:14,077
but directly inspired
by the Mysterious Nine.

632
00:34:14,183 --> 00:34:16,423
Of all of the famous guests,

633
00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:21,089
Gene Roddenberry was one
of the most gifted,

634
00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:23,690
and was a part of our team,

635
00:34:23,793 --> 00:34:26,363
taking notes and scoring information

636
00:34:26,462 --> 00:34:29,932
that he felt would eventually
be used worldwide.

637
00:34:30,032 --> 00:34:34,202
What is exciting is some
of what Gene saw there

638
00:34:34,303 --> 00:34:36,043
in our work together

639
00:34:36,138 --> 00:34:41,008
was produced in some
of the episodes of Star Trek.

640
00:34:41,110 --> 00:34:44,210
Gene Roddenberry sat in
and could ask questions

641
00:34:44,313 --> 00:34:46,613
of the psychics who were communicating

642
00:34:46,715 --> 00:34:48,275
with the Council of Nine.

643
00:34:48,384 --> 00:34:51,094
And I think this is where
you get various ideas

644
00:34:51,187 --> 00:34:55,217
such as teleportation, warp drive.

645
00:34:55,324 --> 00:34:57,624
In Star Trek, they have the Federation,

646
00:34:57,726 --> 00:35:01,156
and the Federation is
responsible for governing

647
00:35:01,263 --> 00:35:03,603
planets all throughout the universe.

648
00:35:03,699 --> 00:35:06,429
That's very possible that
it's happening here,

649
00:35:06,535 --> 00:35:10,165
that there's a group
that oversees Planet Earth.

650
00:35:10,272 --> 00:35:12,612
This higher power within the universe

651
00:35:12,708 --> 00:35:15,538
that is monitoring things on Earth.

652
00:35:15,644 --> 00:35:17,314
I don't think there's any doubt

653
00:35:17,413 --> 00:35:19,153
about the Federation being real.

654
00:35:19,248 --> 00:35:21,378
This is something that I've
heard since I first became

655
00:35:21,484 --> 00:35:24,054
interested in the subject of ufology.

656
00:35:24,153 --> 00:35:28,523
And I've talked to hundreds
of people who have had contacts,

657
00:35:28,624 --> 00:35:32,094
direct or indirect,
with various individuals

658
00:35:32,194 --> 00:35:34,504
from one or more of the planets

659
00:35:34,597 --> 00:35:38,027
that are members of the Federation.

660
00:35:42,138 --> 00:35:43,968
Set in the future,

661
00:35:44,073 --> 00:35:47,173
Star Trek chronicled
a peaceful scientific mission

662
00:35:47,276 --> 00:35:49,636
to seek out and explore other planets

663
00:35:49,745 --> 00:35:52,675
in the Milky Way galaxy.

664
00:35:53,781 --> 00:35:57,381
Among the futuristic concepts
revealed in the series,

665
00:35:57,486 --> 00:36:00,946
is the Federation's Prime Directive--

666
00:36:01,056 --> 00:36:04,886
their guiding principle that
prohibits them with interfering

667
00:36:04,994 --> 00:36:09,064
with the development of
a still evolving civilization.

668
00:36:09,165 --> 00:36:12,895
Researchers studying the
Mysterious Nine have concluded

669
00:36:13,002 --> 00:36:17,202
that they may function
in much the same way.

670
00:36:19,475 --> 00:36:21,335
Roddenberry heard about

671
00:36:21,443 --> 00:36:24,653
the Prime Directive from these sessions.

672
00:36:24,747 --> 00:36:26,347
Now, what is the Prime Directive?

673
00:36:26,448 --> 00:36:29,578
It's the idea that an
extraterrestrial race

674
00:36:29,685 --> 00:36:32,915
should not just show up
and announce its identity

675
00:36:33,022 --> 00:36:35,322
to a fledging planet
that has not yet achieved

676
00:36:35,424 --> 00:36:37,124
interstellar travel.

677
00:36:37,226 --> 00:36:41,426
An extraterrestrial group
is not going to make themselves

678
00:36:41,530 --> 00:36:45,430
openly known until that
society is ready for it,

679
00:36:45,534 --> 00:36:49,204
meaning until their development
has naturally steered them

680
00:36:49,305 --> 00:36:53,105
in favor of the idea
of extraterrestrial life,

681
00:36:53,209 --> 00:36:55,079
so it wouldn't come as a great surprise,

682
00:36:55,177 --> 00:36:57,677
and it wouldn't overly
disrupt their existing

683
00:36:57,780 --> 00:37:00,050
social and political order.

684
00:37:01,750 --> 00:37:05,290
If we are being monitored
by extraterrestrials,

685
00:37:05,387 --> 00:37:08,557
it seems to be that one reason
why they don't openly land

686
00:37:08,657 --> 00:37:11,527
on the White House lawn,
is something very much like

687
00:37:11,627 --> 00:37:13,157
the Prime Directive.

688
00:37:14,262 --> 00:37:15,932
I think the Prime Directive

689
00:37:16,031 --> 00:37:18,901
is that they are not
to interfere with us.

690
00:37:19,001 --> 00:37:21,901
That we were given the power of choice.

691
00:37:22,004 --> 00:37:23,674
And so that they have to let us

692
00:37:23,772 --> 00:37:27,112
exercise that choice
which the creator gave us,

693
00:37:27,209 --> 00:37:29,609
even though we often choose very badly.

694
00:37:29,712 --> 00:37:32,282
Make the wrong decisions.

695
00:37:32,381 --> 00:37:36,921
That is our legacy.
We're allowed to do that.

696
00:37:37,019 --> 00:37:39,319
Is it possible that the nine

697
00:37:39,421 --> 00:37:43,921
extraterrestrial overlords
don't want to directly

698
00:37:44,026 --> 00:37:46,426
interfere in our society,

699
00:37:46,528 --> 00:37:51,328
but to guide us from behind the scenes?

700
00:37:51,933 --> 00:37:55,703
You have to wonder
if there's not some truth

701
00:37:55,804 --> 00:37:57,044
to science fiction

702
00:37:57,139 --> 00:38:00,709
and television and movies and books,

703
00:38:00,809 --> 00:38:03,379
are a way of preparing

704
00:38:03,478 --> 00:38:06,748
people of the Earth for what's coming.

705
00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:10,150
Might there actually be

706
00:38:10,252 --> 00:38:14,722
some galactic truths found
within the Star Trek series?

707
00:38:14,823 --> 00:38:17,993
Truths that were shared
with Gene Roddenberry

708
00:38:18,093 --> 00:38:21,463
through the sessions
with the Mysterious Nine?

709
00:38:21,563 --> 00:38:26,003
And if so, was this in
an effort to assist humanity

710
00:38:26,101 --> 00:38:30,541
and guide us to a more peaceful future?

711
00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:34,209
Or is there another aim altogether?

712
00:38:35,977 --> 00:38:37,937
Perhaps one that prevents us

713
00:38:38,046 --> 00:38:41,106
from becoming... a threat?

714
00:38:45,106 --> 00:38:47,636
Before he concluded his broadcast

715
00:38:47,641 --> 00:38:51,711
with RT Television Network in 2013,

716
00:38:51,810 --> 00:38:54,910
former Canadian Defense
Minister Paul Hellyer

717
00:38:55,013 --> 00:38:58,113
publically urged officials
to reveal the truth

718
00:38:58,216 --> 00:39:02,116
about extraterrestrials
overseeing Earth.

719
00:39:02,220 --> 00:39:04,720
This information is
top secret in a way that

720
00:39:04,823 --> 00:39:06,263
the governments aren't talking about it,

721
00:39:06,358 --> 00:39:08,788
but if you listen to the whistleblowers

722
00:39:08,894 --> 00:39:10,964
and the people who have
worked in the industry,

723
00:39:11,062 --> 00:39:14,302
and, uh, who know what is going on,

724
00:39:14,399 --> 00:39:16,899
there is just a lot
of information out there,

725
00:39:17,002 --> 00:39:19,572
and it doesn't take very long
to get your hands on it.

726
00:39:20,272 --> 00:39:24,712
The future of the world depends
on us knowing what is going on.

727
00:39:24,810 --> 00:39:28,010
Not only in our own world, but in others

728
00:39:28,113 --> 00:39:31,713
that are monitoring us and
attempting to influence us,

729
00:39:31,817 --> 00:39:33,317
for better or for worse.

730
00:39:33,418 --> 00:39:37,088
And there are people here
who know a lot about that.

731
00:39:38,924 --> 00:39:40,364
This idea that there are other entities,

732
00:39:40,459 --> 00:39:42,229
whether from other dimensions,
other galaxies,

733
00:39:42,327 --> 00:39:44,257
other planets, who are
actually controlling,

734
00:39:44,362 --> 00:39:48,472
or somehow influencing what
is happening with life on Earth

735
00:39:48,567 --> 00:39:51,267
is fascinating, and we always
have to ask that question,

736
00:39:51,369 --> 00:39:52,939
what is their agenda?

737
00:39:53,038 --> 00:39:55,168
Is it benevolent?

738
00:39:55,273 --> 00:39:57,413
Are they here to protect us,

739
00:39:57,509 --> 00:40:01,179
as Valiant Thor and
the Nine originally said?

740
00:40:01,279 --> 00:40:03,409
Or is there another agenda?

741
00:40:03,515 --> 00:40:06,145
Is there an agenda to control us?

742
00:40:06,251 --> 00:40:08,851
Is there an agenda to influence

743
00:40:08,954 --> 00:40:10,954
the way that we live in a negative way?

744
00:40:13,024 --> 00:40:15,764
So you have to wonder
if there is, in fact,

745
00:40:15,861 --> 00:40:18,131
some kind of extraterrestrial council

746
00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:22,400
that's watching over Planet Earth.

747
00:40:22,501 --> 00:40:27,371
That they are here to
look at our advancement

748
00:40:27,472 --> 00:40:29,442
and to warn us of possible catastrophes

749
00:40:29,541 --> 00:40:32,211
that may be occurring,

750
00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:33,780
and hopefully,

751
00:40:33,879 --> 00:40:36,809
we will heed their warnings.

752
00:40:36,915 --> 00:40:40,715
If we're being monitored
by extraterrestrials,

753
00:40:40,819 --> 00:40:42,989
if they're watching human affairs,

754
00:40:43,088 --> 00:40:45,988
I think they would be very concerned

755
00:40:46,091 --> 00:40:49,891
about things that we might do
that would destroy ourselves,

756
00:40:49,995 --> 00:40:51,725
and destroy the planet.

757
00:40:51,830 --> 00:40:55,370
And perhaps part of the alien agenda

758
00:40:55,467 --> 00:40:57,497
is our moral development

759
00:40:57,602 --> 00:41:00,442
as well as our
technological development.

760
00:41:00,539 --> 00:41:02,339
Perhaps this is our ticket

761
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,040
to join the galactic federation.

762
00:41:06,845 --> 00:41:09,145
We might never know
their ultimate purpose,

763
00:41:09,247 --> 00:41:13,377
but if this is an experiment,

764
00:41:13,485 --> 00:41:15,985
we should be very, very careful,
because quite clearly,

765
00:41:16,087 --> 00:41:19,257
if they don't like people
challenging them,

766
00:41:19,357 --> 00:41:21,987
well, we're doomed.

767
00:41:25,997 --> 00:41:27,357
If there are, in fact,

768
00:41:27,465 --> 00:41:31,725
nine extraterrestrial entities
overseeing Earth,

769
00:41:31,836 --> 00:41:34,096
are they here to help us,

770
00:41:34,205 --> 00:41:37,265
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

771
00:41:37,375 --> 00:41:39,835
Or could they have

772
00:41:39,945 --> 00:41:42,275
a more sinister motive?

773
00:41:44,549 --> 00:41:47,849
Perhaps the answer
will only be revealed

774
00:41:47,953 --> 00:41:50,723
when they make contact once again,

775
00:41:50,822 --> 00:41:52,492
and when we...

776
00:41:52,591 --> 00:41:54,261
are more ready to accept...

777
00:41:55,359 --> 00:41:56,729
the truth.
