639 00:36:47,458 --> 00:36:50,208 If so, might advanced beings 640 00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:54,000 from a distant galaxy have already mastered and utilized 641 00:36:54,125 --> 00:36:56,542 the God particle to visit Earth, 642 00:36:56,708 --> 00:36:59,792 as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 643 00:37:01,292 --> 00:37:04,167 TSOUKALOS: If you place a picture side by side 644 00:37:04,292 --> 00:37:07,458 of the Hadron Collider and the Aztec calendar, 645 00:37:07,667 --> 00:37:11,833 there's an eerie similarity between the two. 646 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,792 The Aztec calendar was known to be 647 00:37:15,917 --> 00:37:18,167 a gateway to the universe. 648 00:37:18,375 --> 00:37:21,333 And the Hadron Collider is similar to that 649 00:37:21,542 --> 00:37:24,292 because we are trying to unlock 650 00:37:24,458 --> 00:37:28,333 the secrets of the universe with this machine. 651 00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:31,917 And I find it fascinating that we have a carving 652 00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:33,667 from a long time ago, 653 00:37:33,833 --> 00:37:37,417 and when compared to the modern-day Hadron Collider, 654 00:37:37,583 --> 00:37:40,833 there is an eerie similarity. 655 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000 Is it coincidence? I think not. 656 00:37:45,042 --> 00:37:48,000 NARRATOR: Did ancient man really make contact 657 00:37:48,125 --> 00:37:50,333 with early time travelers? 658 00:37:50,542 --> 00:37:52,542 And are humans on the verge 659 00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:56,542 of discovering that same incredible ability? 660 00:37:56,708 --> 00:37:59,833 Perhaps further evidence can be found by examining 661 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,917 a 20th century account of accidental time travel. 662 00:38:07,751 --> 00:38:13,499 I find it fascinating that two of the most prominent scientists 663 00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,457 of the 20th century- Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein- 664 00:38:16,458 --> 00:38:20,167 both considered time travel to be possible. 665 00:38:20,375 --> 00:38:23,458 Right, and allegedly, the two of them worked together 666 00:38:23,583 --> 00:38:26,708 on a secret Navy experiment that proved it was possible 667 00:38:26,709 --> 00:38:29,416 -to break through the space-time continuum. -Yeah, 668 00:38:29,417 --> 00:38:31,667 the so-called Philadelphia Experiment. 669 00:38:31,668 --> 00:38:34,124 And the government, of course, claims that it never happened, 670 00:38:34,125 --> 00:38:37,708 but if it did, it could be a breakthrough in time travel. 671 00:38:37,875 --> 00:38:39,805 We talked about this in a 2014 episode 672 00:38:39,875 --> 00:38:43,000 of Ancient Aliens called "The Tesla Experiment." 673 00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:48,625 NARRATOR: New York City. July 1934. 674 00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:54,167 On his 78th birthday, Nikola Tesla makes headlines 675 00:38:54,375 --> 00:38:56,458 on the front page of The New York Times 676 00:38:56,625 --> 00:38:58,833 for his alleged "death beam." 677 00:39:00,417 --> 00:39:02,167 According to the article, 678 00:39:02,292 --> 00:39:05,792 the weapon could generate enough energy to bring down a fleet 679 00:39:05,958 --> 00:39:11,667 of 10,000 enemy airplanes as far as 250 miles away. 680 00:39:11,668 --> 00:39:17,374 JOHN BRANDENBURG: Tesla apparently discovered that he could direct 681 00:39:17,375 --> 00:39:20,500 a stream of plasma plus solid particles 682 00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:23,000 for long distances through the air 683 00:39:23,167 --> 00:39:25,333 and kind of direct a lightning bolt. 684 00:39:25,542 --> 00:39:27,500 And he called this a death ray. 685 00:39:28,417 --> 00:39:32,917 GEORGE NOORY: Tesla wanted to invent a machine that would knock out 686 00:39:33,083 --> 00:39:35,375 enemy aircraft in the air. 687 00:39:35,542 --> 00:39:39,208 You would point it to the skies, turn it on, 688 00:39:39,209 --> 00:39:41,332 and all of a sudden those planes would just 689 00:39:41,333 --> 00:39:42,875 fall like that. 690 00:39:42,876 --> 00:39:46,416 SEIFER: Tesla felt that, if every country 691 00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:47,875 had a particle beam weapon, 692 00:39:47,876 --> 00:39:49,957 then no country would ever be invaded 693 00:39:49,958 --> 00:39:54,500 because planes would be shot down and ships would be sunk. 694 00:39:55,625 --> 00:39:58,458 So he was trying to sell this particle beam weapon 695 00:39:58,583 --> 00:40:01,458 to the U.S. government during World War II. 696 00:40:01,459 --> 00:40:03,124 And I think Franklin Roosevelt 697 00:40:03,125 --> 00:40:05,833 was basically looking at two possibilities. 698 00:40:06,042 --> 00:40:10,333 Einstein was discussing the possibility of an atom bomb. 699 00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,490 Tesla was discussing the possibility 700 00:40:12,542 --> 00:40:14,375 of a particle beam weapon. 701 00:40:14,542 --> 00:40:18,125 And it turned out the atom bomb was able to be invented. 702 00:40:19,708 --> 00:40:21,750 And that's the way they went. 703 00:40:23,614 --> 00:40:28,166 NARRATOR: Although the death ray announcement 704 00:40:28,167 --> 00:40:31,167 failed to ignite interest by the U.S. War Department, 705 00:40:31,333 --> 00:40:35,000 some say other innovative work by Tesla 706 00:40:35,208 --> 00:40:37,458 did catch their attention. 707 00:40:37,583 --> 00:40:41,125 Earlier in his career, while conducting research 708 00:40:41,292 --> 00:40:43,625 with one of his transformer coils, 709 00:40:43,792 --> 00:40:46,833 Nikola Tesla had a near-death experience 710 00:40:47,042 --> 00:40:49,152 when he came in contact with a resonating 711 00:40:49,167 --> 00:40:53,958 electromagnetic charge of three and a half million volts. 712 00:40:54,167 --> 00:40:57,583 Tesla was working with 60-foot lightning bolts, 713 00:40:57,750 --> 00:41:00,500 and he made a mistake and he almost got electrocuted. 714 00:41:00,501 --> 00:41:03,541 And he couldn't get out, and he had to get one of his workers 715 00:41:03,542 --> 00:41:05,917 to stop the lightning from happening. 716 00:41:06,083 --> 00:41:08,542 And he barely escaped with his life. 717 00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:10,620 And because of the shock that he had, 718 00:41:10,708 --> 00:41:11,833 he had a revelation. 719 00:41:13,417 --> 00:41:17,792 CHILDRESS: Tesla said that he entered a-a state of timelessness, 720 00:41:17,917 --> 00:41:22,333 and he could see the past and the future and the present 721 00:41:22,542 --> 00:41:25,833 all at one in this mystic vision, 722 00:41:25,958 --> 00:41:29,667 but he was paralyzed and he couldn't do anything about it. 723 00:41:29,792 --> 00:41:32,750 Tesla was being essentially electrocuted, 724 00:41:32,875 --> 00:41:36,083 and right then his assistant cut the power to him. 725 00:41:37,458 --> 00:41:39,542 But what Tesla said it had done 726 00:41:39,708 --> 00:41:42,958 was moved him through time and space. 727 00:41:45,548 --> 00:41:48,999 NARRATOR: But is it really possible 728 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,208 Tesla had found a way to break through 729 00:41:51,375 --> 00:41:53,250 the space-time continuum? 730 00:41:55,208 --> 00:41:56,792 Ancient astronaut theorists 731 00:41:56,958 --> 00:41:59,248 believe the answer might be found by looking 732 00:41:59,375 --> 00:42:03,583 at what has become known as the Philadelphia Experiment. 733 00:42:05,167 --> 00:42:08,667 According to reports, right before Tesla's death, 734 00:42:08,833 --> 00:42:10,703 he was working with Albert Einstein 735 00:42:10,792 --> 00:42:12,500 and the United States Navy 736 00:42:12,708 --> 00:42:14,667 at the Philadelphia Naval Yard 737 00:42:14,833 --> 00:42:17,458 to create an electromagnetically charged 738 00:42:17,583 --> 00:42:21,167 invisibility cloak for the USS Eldridge. 739 00:42:22,375 --> 00:42:25,667 BRANDENBURG: They were attempting to do a stealth technology, 740 00:42:25,875 --> 00:42:29,500 and apparently they mounted a bunch of Tesla coils 741 00:42:29,667 --> 00:42:32,542 to make a bunch of plasma around a ship, 742 00:42:32,708 --> 00:42:37,125 and this is well-known to help hide things from radar. 743 00:42:38,042 --> 00:42:41,333 But something very unexpected happened. 744 00:42:41,458 --> 00:42:44,292 The ship didn't just disappear from radar. 745 00:42:45,417 --> 00:42:47,667 It disappeared completely... 746 00:42:47,875 --> 00:42:51,333 and then reappeared with some of the crew 747 00:42:51,542 --> 00:42:54,750 actually embedded in the metal of the ship. 748 00:42:55,999 --> 00:43:00,874 NARRATOR: Although mainstream scientists believe 749 00:43:00,875 --> 00:43:04,000 the so-called Philadelphia Experiment is a hoax, 750 00:43:04,208 --> 00:43:07,542 some insist the account is authentic. 751 00:43:08,542 --> 00:43:11,875 We have leaked testimony from classified levels 752 00:43:12,042 --> 00:43:14,458 of secrecy in the U.S. government 753 00:43:14,625 --> 00:43:16,915 that the Philadelphia Experiment was real, 754 00:43:16,958 --> 00:43:21,333 that the soldiers on that ship got disoriented 755 00:43:21,542 --> 00:43:24,000 and they ended up walking into the hull. 756 00:43:24,125 --> 00:43:27,015 And when the ship, then, rematerialized in our reality, 757 00:43:27,042 --> 00:43:30,583 their bodies melded with the metal in the hull. 758 00:43:32,167 --> 00:43:36,958 NARRATOR: Could Tesla have discovered the ability to time travel? 759 00:43:38,792 --> 00:43:43,167 If so, might the secrets behind this technology, 760 00:43:43,375 --> 00:43:46,833 along with the blueprints for Tesla's death beam, 761 00:43:47,042 --> 00:43:51,333 have been obtained from a future point in time and space? 762 00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:54,167 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 763 00:43:54,333 --> 00:43:56,750 evidence of this might be found 764 00:43:56,958 --> 00:44:01,167 with the modern world's most sophisticated new weaponry. 765 00:44:07,833 --> 00:44:09,958 NARRATOR: The Singapore Airshow, 766 00:44:10,042 --> 00:44:13,042 February 2014. 767 00:44:14,333 --> 00:44:15,875 An Israeli arms company 768 00:44:16,042 --> 00:44:19,083 known as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems 769 00:44:19,292 --> 00:44:22,542 reveals details of a laser defense system 770 00:44:22,543 --> 00:44:24,874 capable of shooting missiles from the sky 771 00:44:24,875 --> 00:44:27,042 with a pulse of energy. 772 00:44:32,083 --> 00:44:37,500 The futuristic military hardware is called Iron Beam. 773 00:44:37,501 --> 00:44:39,374 REDFERN: The concept of Iron Beam 774 00:44:39,375 --> 00:44:42,083 is that it's essentially a high-energy laser 775 00:44:42,208 --> 00:44:45,583 that is designed to rapidly heat up the target 776 00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:46,875 that it's aimed at. 777 00:44:47,042 --> 00:44:49,042 We're talking about aircraft, 778 00:44:49,167 --> 00:44:51,167 drones, missiles. 779 00:44:51,333 --> 00:44:54,250 Anything that could launch an attack on a city 780 00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:58,875 could be literally destroyed in the sky by Iron Beam. 781 00:45:01,792 --> 00:45:04,375 This sounds very much like Tesla's death ray. 782 00:45:04,376 --> 00:45:08,207 CHILDRESS: This is exactly the kind of technology 783 00:45:08,208 --> 00:45:12,750 that Tesla was talking about in the 1920s and '30s, 784 00:45:12,917 --> 00:45:16,083 of using these beam weapons to shoot down missiles 785 00:45:16,250 --> 00:45:18,125 and projectiles. 786 00:45:20,375 --> 00:45:23,167 WILCOCK: The War Department sided with Einstein 787 00:45:23,292 --> 00:45:27,542 and Oppenheimer's atomic bomb, not with Tesla. 788 00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:30,833 But now what we're seeing is that Israel 789 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,833 is developing this Iron Beam technology 790 00:45:34,958 --> 00:45:36,833 because they realized 791 00:45:37,042 --> 00:45:40,792 that atomic weapons were far too destructive. 792 00:45:41,792 --> 00:45:44,500 Is it possible that Tesla developed 793 00:45:44,708 --> 00:45:48,167 a time-viewing or time travel technology 794 00:45:48,333 --> 00:45:52,125 and that he became aware of these developments? 795 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,292 NARRATOR: Tesla was once quoted as saying, 796 00:45:56,458 --> 00:45:58,375 "The present is theirs, 797 00:45:58,542 --> 00:46:02,917 but the future for which I have really worked is mine." 798 00:46:03,083 --> 00:46:06,250 Did Tesla, in fact, see into the future? 799 00:46:09,083 --> 00:46:11,083 Might Iron Beam be proof 800 00:46:11,250 --> 00:46:13,667 that plans for the death ray not only existed 801 00:46:13,833 --> 00:46:16,167 but also may have even been confiscated 802 00:46:16,292 --> 00:46:20,042 and carried out by the United States government? 803 00:46:24,292 --> 00:46:26,833 There are those who believe that Nikola Tesla 804 00:46:27,042 --> 00:46:30,875 was not only in contact with extraterrestrials 805 00:46:31,042 --> 00:46:34,833 but was sent here to Earth by them to fulfill a mission 806 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,875 and usher in a new age for mankind. 807 00:46:39,083 --> 00:46:41,750 SEIFER: One of the big questions is, who is Tesla? 808 00:46:41,958 --> 00:46:43,833 Is he, in a sense, an avatar, 809 00:46:44,042 --> 00:46:47,875 an enlightened being that comes to the Earth to help humans? 810 00:46:47,876 --> 00:46:50,832 No one really knows exactly what's going on, 811 00:46:50,833 --> 00:46:52,332 but I think all great artists- 812 00:46:52,333 --> 00:46:54,143 and Tesla saw himself as an artist- 813 00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:56,917 feel that they're instruments of a higher purpose, 814 00:46:57,042 --> 00:46:58,667 and Tesla certainly felt 815 00:46:58,833 --> 00:47:01,083 that he was working along those lines. 816 00:47:01,250 --> 00:47:02,833 There is an agenda for humanity. 817 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,583 There is a plan. 818 00:47:04,708 --> 00:47:07,083 And in every generation, 819 00:47:07,292 --> 00:47:09,708 whatever power it is that's behind the plan 820 00:47:09,833 --> 00:47:14,542 sends to Earth certain specific souls 821 00:47:14,667 --> 00:47:18,083 who are, by birth, more inclined 822 00:47:18,208 --> 00:47:23,292 and able to be receptors to the higher knowledge. 823 00:47:24,261 --> 00:47:27,957 CHILDRESS: You have to wonder if Tesla 824 00:47:27,958 --> 00:47:31,833 was transplanted to Earth by extraterrestrials 825 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,750 in order to envision and invent 826 00:47:35,917 --> 00:47:39,750 all of these amazing devices. 827 00:47:39,917 --> 00:47:42,833 WILCOCK: If extraterrestrials put Tesla in place 828 00:47:43,042 --> 00:47:45,000 for a specific purpose, 829 00:47:45,208 --> 00:47:47,792 did they accomplish what they hoped to achieve? 830 00:47:47,958 --> 00:47:49,750 The answer may be no, 831 00:47:49,917 --> 00:47:52,333 because if Tesla's technologies 832 00:47:52,542 --> 00:47:54,917 had been openly acknowledged here on Earth, 833 00:47:55,083 --> 00:47:57,250 we could have greened the deserts, 834 00:47:57,417 --> 00:47:59,750 we could be desalinating ocean water 835 00:47:59,917 --> 00:48:01,357 with tabletop energy levels. 836 00:48:01,542 --> 00:48:05,042 We could have a totally new and different world 837 00:48:05,208 --> 00:48:07,500 in which we don't have to pay for energy, 838 00:48:07,501 --> 00:48:09,541 in which we have antigravity craft, 839 00:48:09,542 --> 00:48:11,875 in which we have teleportation technology, 840 00:48:12,042 --> 00:48:14,167 and in which we truly have become 841 00:48:14,333 --> 00:48:16,833 a golden age here on Earth. 842 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,500 That has not happened. 843 00:48:20,542 --> 00:48:22,917 NARRATOR: Could it be that Nikola Tesla 844 00:48:23,042 --> 00:48:26,083 was able to access advanced technology 845 00:48:26,250 --> 00:48:30,500 by seeing or even traveling into the future? 846 00:48:30,667 --> 00:48:32,917 While mainstream science 847 00:48:33,042 --> 00:48:36,833 tends to dismiss such claims as mere speculation, 848 00:48:36,958 --> 00:48:40,708 Tesla was not alone in encountering a reality 849 00:48:40,875 --> 00:48:43,958 beyond the normal bounds of time. 850 00:48:44,125 --> 00:48:47,542 And even today, there are those who say 851 00:48:47,708 --> 00:48:52,208 they have experienced strange distortions in time and space. 852 00:48:59,375 --> 00:49:01,207 In 2018, I met pilot Bruce Gernon, 853 00:49:01,208 --> 00:49:03,124 who claims that he had a bizarre experience 854 00:49:03,125 --> 00:49:04,999 while flying over the Bermuda Triangle. 855 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,750 And he told me that he entered 856 00:49:06,917 --> 00:49:09,792 some kind of time tunnel vortex 857 00:49:09,958 --> 00:49:12,333 and traveled 100 miles in just three minutes. 858 00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,542 Right, there seems to be multiple locations 859 00:49:15,667 --> 00:49:19,333 all around the world where inexplicable events 860 00:49:19,458 --> 00:49:23,125 such as that one seem to be happening all the time. 861 00:49:23,126 --> 00:49:25,291 Yeah, and scientists have speculated, 862 00:49:25,292 --> 00:49:28,333 there could be some exotic physics at play 863 00:49:28,417 --> 00:49:31,917 in these locations and that maybe people really are 864 00:49:32,083 --> 00:49:34,493 getting caught up in these space-time portals. 865 00:49:36,458 --> 00:49:38,388 NARRATOR: Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 866 00:49:39,792 --> 00:49:43,125 December 5, 1945. 867 00:49:44,250 --> 00:49:46,667 Five Navy Avenger torpedo bombers, 868 00:49:46,875 --> 00:49:49,458 collectively known as Flight 19, 869 00:49:49,583 --> 00:49:53,500 set out on a training mission over the Bermuda Triangle. 870 00:49:54,708 --> 00:49:57,167 Without warning, all five bombers 871 00:49:57,375 --> 00:50:00,542 experience malfunctions with their onboard instruments. 872 00:50:00,708 --> 00:50:02,958 They contact air control 873 00:50:03,167 --> 00:50:06,292 and report their mysterious difficulties. 874 00:50:07,458 --> 00:50:11,500 And all five of their compasses were not working correctly, 875 00:50:11,667 --> 00:50:14,917 and they had two navigational instruments that they could use, 876 00:50:14,918 --> 00:50:17,041 and they were not working properly either. 877 00:50:17,042 --> 00:50:18,542 It caused total confusion. 878 00:50:18,708 --> 00:50:20,500 They didn't know their position. 879 00:50:20,501 --> 00:50:22,374 So they did what a lot of other pilots 880 00:50:22,375 --> 00:50:25,500 had done in the past- they made a series of turns. 881 00:50:25,667 --> 00:50:29,417 And that's what causes pilots to become confused. 882 00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:33,083 NARRATOR: The planes disappeared from radar, 883 00:50:33,208 --> 00:50:34,875 and their last communication 884 00:50:35,042 --> 00:50:38,625 consisted of nothing but eerie static. 885 00:50:40,667 --> 00:50:43,667 The Navy immediately launched two seaplanes 886 00:50:43,833 --> 00:50:46,042 to search for the missing bombers. 887 00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:50,583 Just 20 minutes after takeoff, they, too, vanished. 888 00:50:50,584 --> 00:50:53,291 GERNON: The unusual thing is, 889 00:50:53,292 --> 00:50:55,917 they didn't find any parts. 890 00:50:56,083 --> 00:50:58,375 No life jackets or life rafts. 891 00:50:58,488 --> 00:51:02,332 ANDREW COLLINS: Despite some claims 892 00:51:02,333 --> 00:51:05,000 in more modern times that the Grumman Avengers 893 00:51:05,083 --> 00:51:06,167 have been discovered 894 00:51:06,375 --> 00:51:09,625 that might have been Flight 19, 895 00:51:09,792 --> 00:51:13,917 the actuality of the case is that it is a mystery 896 00:51:14,083 --> 00:51:16,208 of exactly what happened. 897 00:51:17,708 --> 00:51:19,917 NARRATOR: The disappearance of Flight 19 898 00:51:20,083 --> 00:51:23,292 is one of many bizarre and unexplainable events 899 00:51:23,458 --> 00:51:26,167 that have taken place in the area that is now known 900 00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,625 as the Bermuda Triangle. 901 00:51:29,583 --> 00:51:32,000 The Bermuda Triangle is really located 902 00:51:32,167 --> 00:51:34,333 off of, uh, Florida. 903 00:51:35,375 --> 00:51:38,542 The northern point of it is the island of Bermuda. 904 00:51:38,708 --> 00:51:42,042 It then goes down to, essentially, Southern Florida 905 00:51:42,208 --> 00:51:44,375 and then out into the Bahamas. 906 00:51:44,542 --> 00:51:47,167 And this is an area that has historically 907 00:51:47,333 --> 00:51:48,875 had strange phenomena. 908 00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:53,210 NARRATOR: For decades, scientists and researchers 909 00:51:53,417 --> 00:51:55,083 have struggled to find a cause 910 00:51:55,250 --> 00:51:57,500 for the mysterious disappearances. 911 00:51:57,667 --> 00:52:01,083 They are equally puzzled by the numerous reports 912 00:52:01,292 --> 00:52:03,542 of everything from instrument failure 913 00:52:03,708 --> 00:52:06,375 to compasses that strangely point to true north 914 00:52:06,542 --> 00:52:08,583 instead of magnetic north. 915 00:52:09,958 --> 00:52:13,167 Electromagnetic phenomenon associated with thunderstorms 916 00:52:13,375 --> 00:52:17,292 that can perhaps open up portals in space-time 917 00:52:17,417 --> 00:52:21,125 and that we never would have thought possible. 918 00:52:21,250 --> 00:52:23,667 An analogy is that lightning... 919 00:52:25,083 --> 00:52:27,125 ...is still poorly understood. 920 00:52:27,126 --> 00:52:29,707 Lightning typically carries several million volts. 921 00:52:29,708 --> 00:52:33,500 This is not sufficient voltage to jump from a cloud, 922 00:52:33,708 --> 00:52:37,292 miles above the ground, to the ground or between clouds. 923 00:52:37,458 --> 00:52:39,375 Yet nature does it. 924 00:52:39,542 --> 00:52:42,208 Combine that with the strange location 925 00:52:42,375 --> 00:52:44,333 of the Bermuda Triangle, 926 00:52:44,542 --> 00:52:48,333 where the collision point of these cold and warm currents, 927 00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:53,542 you can have a playground for exotic physics, I believe. 928 00:52:55,375 --> 00:52:58,025 NARRATOR: Might storm clouds, lightning flashes, 929 00:52:58,083 --> 00:52:59,792 and powerful ocean currents 930 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,250 located within the Bermuda Triangle 931 00:53:02,375 --> 00:53:06,583 have unexpected and otherworldly effects? 932 00:53:07,792 --> 00:53:09,792 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 933 00:53:09,958 --> 00:53:12,542 such an audacious theory is possible 934 00:53:12,708 --> 00:53:15,875 and point to the story of pilot Bruce Gernon 935 00:53:16,042 --> 00:53:19,042 as the best evidence that such incredible phenomena 936 00:53:19,208 --> 00:53:21,708 can and do exist. 937 00:53:23,042 --> 00:53:26,417 On December the 4th, 1970, 938 00:53:26,583 --> 00:53:29,583 almost 25 years to the day 939 00:53:29,750 --> 00:53:33,583 after the disappearance of Flight 19... 940 00:53:35,458 --> 00:53:39,375 ...a pilot by the name of Bruce Gernon 941 00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:44,083 was in an aircraft flying between Andros Island 942 00:53:44,250 --> 00:53:46,292 and the island of Bimini, 943 00:53:46,458 --> 00:53:51,500 when he had an absolute incredible experience. 944 00:53:56,208 --> 00:53:59,167 The controls on his plane also went crazy. 945 00:53:59,333 --> 00:54:02,708 He felt, in the end, that somehow he had been 946 00:54:02,875 --> 00:54:06,000 in the Bermuda Triangle when it was activated. 947 00:54:06,125 --> 00:54:09,417 Since that time, researchers have been trying to find out 948 00:54:09,583 --> 00:54:13,333 exactly what happened during that flight. 949 00:54:20,125 --> 00:54:21,958 NARRATOR: In March 2018, 950 00:54:22,125 --> 00:54:25,625 ancient astronaut theorist and author David Childress 951 00:54:25,833 --> 00:54:29,250 traveled to an airfield in West Palm Beach, Florida... 952 00:54:29,417 --> 00:54:31,125 -Hi. -...to meet face-to-face 953 00:54:31,292 --> 00:54:33,042 with one of the very few men 954 00:54:33,208 --> 00:54:35,167 who experienced the strange power 955 00:54:35,333 --> 00:54:39,417 of the Bermuda Triangle and survived. 956 00:54:39,583 --> 00:54:41,458 So, what is our plan today? 957 00:54:41,625 --> 00:54:44,167 Well, we're gonna recreate our flight 958 00:54:44,375 --> 00:54:47,000 that I had in, uh, 1970. 959 00:54:47,001 --> 00:54:48,832 And I can show you on the chart here, 960 00:54:48,833 --> 00:54:50,833 we're gonna go direct from Palm Beach 961 00:54:51,042 --> 00:54:53,667 right to this curved area of Andros Island 962 00:54:53,875 --> 00:54:55,375 on the western shore. 963 00:54:55,376 --> 00:54:57,541 And we're gonna go down to 1,000 feet at this point. 964 00:54:57,542 --> 00:55:00,542 And that's where my experience in 1970 began. 965 00:55:00,708 --> 00:55:02,818 I am the only living person that has flown 966 00:55:02,819 --> 00:55:05,457 through the heart of it and then exited what I call 967 00:55:05,458 --> 00:55:08,333 a time tunnel vortex and survived. 968 00:55:08,542 --> 00:55:10,592 So, have you ever retraced your flight? 969 00:55:10,792 --> 00:55:13,375 I've never been on the exact flight path 970 00:55:13,542 --> 00:55:15,667 that I was when I had this event. 971 00:55:15,668 --> 00:55:18,041 And that's what I'd like to take you through today, 972 00:55:18,042 --> 00:55:19,167 the exact flight path. 973 00:55:19,375 --> 00:55:21,458 Into the Bermuda Triangle, and, uh- 974 00:55:21,625 --> 00:55:23,435 this isn't a one-way flight, is it? 975 00:55:23,436 --> 00:55:24,582 ADAM NORWITCH: No, sir, we'll be back. 976 00:55:24,583 --> 00:55:26,583 CHILDRESS: Okay. I'm ready. 977 00:55:34,375 --> 00:55:36,500 So, Bruce, uh, it was, 978 00:55:36,667 --> 00:55:39,125 it was 1970, and you were flying out of Andros. 979 00:55:39,292 --> 00:55:41,667 Who-who was with you on this flight? 980 00:55:41,668 --> 00:55:43,624 Uh, my dad and our business partner was with us, 981 00:55:43,625 --> 00:55:44,945 and it was a routine flight. 982 00:55:44,958 --> 00:55:47,167 But, uh, this is the area 983 00:55:47,333 --> 00:55:50,042 where I, uh, took off and started my ascent. 984 00:55:50,167 --> 00:55:53,000 I was at 1,000 feet just like we are right now. 985 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,125 And I started climbing 986 00:55:57,126 --> 00:55:59,124 straight out over that bank right there. 987 00:55:59,125 --> 00:56:01,625 -There it is. -CHILDRESS: Is that it? Okay. 988 00:56:02,583 --> 00:56:04,633 I don't know, it looks kind of eerie here. 989 00:56:04,634 --> 00:56:08,332 There's nothing much around, is there? 990 00:56:08,333 --> 00:56:11,417 Very remote area of the Bahama Bank. 991 00:56:11,583 --> 00:56:12,958 Whoa, what was that? 992 00:56:13,125 --> 00:56:14,500 Did you feel that? 993 00:56:14,667 --> 00:56:15,833 -Uh... -There it is. 994 00:56:16,042 --> 00:56:18,542 -That-that was a weird... -Can you catch that? 995 00:56:18,543 --> 00:56:20,124 CHILDRESS: Something we should maybe... 996 00:56:20,125 --> 00:56:22,500 Okay. It's out of control? 997 00:56:22,501 --> 00:56:24,541 NORWITCH: It's okay, guys, we just hit a rough spot. 998 00:56:24,542 --> 00:56:26,592 We've just got a little turbulence here. 999 00:56:26,593 --> 00:56:28,374 -Turbulence. -CHILDRESS: How about that? 1000 00:56:28,375 --> 00:56:29,667 Yeah.

1083 01:00:14,917 --> 01:00:20,000 One that, like a black hole, could alter both time and space? 1084 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,500 For ancient astronaut theorists, the answer 1085 01:00:23,667 --> 01:00:26,583 is a resounding yes, and they argue 1086 01:00:26,708 --> 01:00:29,292 that even more evidence can be found 1087 01:00:29,458 --> 01:00:31,417 by studying ancient disappearances 1088 01:00:31,542 --> 01:00:33,583 not only of individuals 1089 01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:36,833 but of an entire civilization. 1090 01:00:43,542 --> 01:00:45,625 NARRATOR: Easter Island. 1091 01:00:46,583 --> 01:00:48,792 Located in the Pacific Ocean, 1092 01:00:48,958 --> 01:00:52,333 over 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile, 1093 01:00:52,542 --> 01:00:56,417 this remote island was once home to the Rapa Nui people, 1094 01:00:56,625 --> 01:00:59,875 who, after flourishing for hundreds of years, 1095 01:01:00,042 --> 01:01:05,625 seemed to mysteriously disappear sometime in the 18th century. 1096 01:01:05,708 --> 01:01:08,667 It seems, at some point, it may be as much 1097 01:01:08,750 --> 01:01:11,625 as 10,000 people lived there at its peak. 1098 01:01:11,792 --> 01:01:14,292 But about 100 years later, 1099 01:01:14,458 --> 01:01:17,583 when more Europeans started showing up on a regular basis, 1100 01:01:17,750 --> 01:01:21,042 it seemed to be down to about 1,500. 1101 01:01:21,208 --> 01:01:24,542 So something happened at Easter Island 1102 01:01:24,708 --> 01:01:27,792 to seriously decrease their population. 1103 01:01:27,793 --> 01:01:33,291 NARRATOR: While mainstream historians have long debated the cause 1104 01:01:33,292 --> 01:01:36,542 of the mass disappearance of the Rapa Nui, 1105 01:01:36,708 --> 01:01:38,698 ancient astronaut theorists believe 1106 01:01:38,875 --> 01:01:42,792 it may have something to do with Easter Island being located 1107 01:01:42,917 --> 01:01:45,458 in one of the 12 areas that were identified 1108 01:01:45,625 --> 01:01:48,417 by cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson 1109 01:01:48,583 --> 01:01:50,333 as "vile vortices," 1110 01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:54,500 places on Earth where strange, electromagnetic activity 1111 01:01:54,667 --> 01:01:57,250 is more likely to occur. 1112 01:01:59,208 --> 01:02:01,458 We know there are places around the world 1113 01:02:01,625 --> 01:02:04,500 that have an unknown energy. 1114 01:02:04,708 --> 01:02:07,000 Easter Island, 1115 01:02:07,167 --> 01:02:09,667 Mexico, Egypt, 1116 01:02:09,833 --> 01:02:11,250 Indus Valley. 1117 01:02:11,375 --> 01:02:14,167 Also in Asia.

How we can explain that? 1121 01:02:23,083 --> 01:02:27,375 The only possible explanation is an ancient contact 1122 01:02:27,542 --> 01:02:32,375 with sophisticated alien civilizations around the world. 1123 01:02:32,376 --> 01:02:37,207 NARRATOR: Is it possible that because Easter Island, 1124 01:02:37,208 --> 01:02:39,198 like the Bermuda Triangle, is located 1125 01:02:39,333 --> 01:02:43,000 at a place of increased electromagnetic activity, 1126 01:02:43,208 --> 01:02:47,500 that the area serves as a kind of extraterrestrial portal? 1127 01:02:48,542 --> 01:02:50,917 A gateway which, when opened, 1128 01:02:51,083 --> 01:02:53,542 could allow alien beings to come to Earth 1129 01:02:53,750 --> 01:02:56,750 and humans to travel back with them? 1130 01:02:56,917 --> 01:03:00,250 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 1131 01:03:00,458 --> 01:03:03,792 and suggest this phenomenon might also happen 1132 01:03:03,917 --> 01:03:07,000 in every country on Earth. 1133 01:03:13,292 --> 01:03:18,292 Holland, Michigan, February 18, 1978. 1134 01:03:19,417 --> 01:03:23,000 Steven Kubacki, a student at Hope College, 1135 01:03:23,167 --> 01:03:26,542 tells his roommates

his skis sitting 1141 01:03:43,250 --> 01:03:46,333 on the beach to the Great Lakes. 1142 01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:48,833 And they walk out and they search the area 1143 01:03:49,042 --> 01:03:51,208 and they find tracks in the snow 1144 01:03:51,375 --> 01:03:54,667 leading out onto the ice towards the lake. 1145 01:03:55,667 --> 01:03:58,542 The tracks appeared to stop in the middle of the lake. 1146 01:03:58,708 --> 01:04:00,625 There was no hole, there was nothing. 1147 01:04:00,792 --> 01:04:02,482 That was just where they stopped. 1148 01:04:03,417 --> 01:04:05,292 He completely disappeared. 1149 01:04:07,196 --> 01:04:10,749 NARRATOR: A little over a year later, 1150 01:04:10,750 --> 01:04:12,875 Steven Kubacki awakens in a field 1151 01:04:13,042 --> 01:04:16,167 some 700 miles from where he disappeared. 1152 01:04:16,375 --> 01:04:20,000 Certain it was the same day as the one when he went missing, 1153 01:04:20,208 --> 01:04:22,167 he had no memory of where he had been 1154 01:04:22,375 --> 01:04:25,000 or how he had traveled across the country. 1155 01:04:25,167 --> 01:04:28,542 PAULIDES: Where he was for that one year and two months 1156 01:04:28,708 --> 01:04:30,250 is a complete black hole. 1157 01:04:30,375 --> 01:04:33,292 NARRATOR: After months of investigation, 1158 01:04:33,417 --> 01:04:36,083 there was no credible evidence that Steven Kubacki 1159 01:04:36,292 --> 01:04:38,792 had staged or faked his disappearance. 1160 01:04:38,958 --> 01:04:42,250 So, how was it that a 23-year-old skier 1161 01:04:42,375 --> 01:04:45,250 suddenly vanished without a trace, 1162 01:04:45,375 --> 01:04:48,167 only to return just over a year later 1163 01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:52,833 and with no memory of where he had gone or for how long? 1164 01:04:53,042 --> 01:04:55,750 These are the questions currently being answered 1165 01:04:55,917 --> 01:04:57,792 by former police detective 1166 01:04:57,793 --> 01:04:59,791 turned missing persons investigator 1167 01:04:59,792 --> 01:05:02,042 -Dave Paulides. -(phone rings) 1168 01:05:04,042 --> 01:05:06,875 -This is Dave. -NARRATOR: For the past nine years, 1169 01:05:06,876 --> 01:05:09,082 he has been investigating the world's most baffling 1170 01:05:09,083 --> 01:05:11,333 missing persons cases and has concluded 1171 01:05:11,500 --> 01:05:14,167 that there are certain places on Earth 1172 01:05:14,333 --> 01:05:16,625 where unexplained disappearances occur 1173 01:05:16,750 --> 01:05:19,167 in astonishingly high numbers. 1174 01:05:19,168 --> 01:05:22,041 I know a lot of people throughout the world have heard 1175 01:05:22,042 --> 01:05:23,302 of the Bermuda Triangle, 1176 01:05:23,375 --> 01:05:26,000 missing ships and planes over water. 1177 01:05:26,125 --> 01:05:28,295 I don't think many people have heard about 1178 01:05:28,333 --> 01:05:31,167 the disappearances of people on land 1179 01:05:31,292 --> 01:05:34,542 that fit this exact profile that we've established. 1180 01:05:35,542 --> 01:05:38,625 Certain profile points replicate themselves 1181 01:05:38,833 --> 01:05:40,375 time after time after time. 1182 01:05:40,542 --> 01:05:43,000 When they bring in search dogs, bloodhounds, 1183 01:05:43,125 --> 01:05:45,042 they can't pick up a scent. 1184 01:05:45,043 --> 01:05:47,041 They bring in professional trackers. 1185 01:05:47,042 --> 01:05:48,833 They can't track point to point. 1186 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,333 Many, many times, there's a weather event 1187 01:05:51,500 --> 01:05:54,125 in relationship to the disappearance. 1188 01:05:54,881 --> 01:05:58,207 Other times, the person disappears 1189 01:05:58,208 --> 01:05:59,750 near a body of water 1190 01:05:59,917 --> 01:06:02,167 or is found near a body of water. 1191 01:06:02,375 --> 01:06:04,500 Other instances, if the person is found, 1192 01:06:04,625 --> 01:06:06,208 they're found in a location 1193 01:06:06,209 --> 01:06:08,082 that has been previously searched 1194 01:06:08,083 --> 01:06:10,958 not just once, maybe dozens of times. 1195 01:06:11,083 --> 01:06:14,042 They leave the searchers scratching their head. 1196 01:06:16,625 --> 01:06:20,375 NARRATOR: After examining thousands of missing persons incidents, 1197 01:06:20,542 --> 01:06:24,667 Dave Paulides has identified 59 so-called hot spots 1198 01:06:24,792 --> 01:06:27,125 in the United States alone. 1199 01:06:27,292 --> 01:06:30,000 Places where more people appear to vanish- 1200 01:06:30,208 --> 01:06:32,417 and without any signs of foul play- 1201 01:06:32,583 --> 01:06:35,208 than anywhere else in the country. 1202 01:06:35,209 --> 01:06:37,082 PAULIDES: In the work we do, it's-it's a rare event 1203 01:06:37,083 --> 01:06:39,542 that you find somebody who's alive. 1204 01:06:39,708 --> 01:06:40,958 But in those instances, 1205 01:06:41,083 --> 01:06:43,458 the vast, vast majority of times, 1206 01:06:43,625 --> 01:06:45,855 the victim doesn't remember what happened. 1207 01:06:45,856 --> 01:06:47,957 They don't know why they got lost, 1208 01:06:47,958 --> 01:06:49,374 they don't know where they went, 1209 01:06:49,375 --> 01:06:51,185 they don't know where they've been. 1210 01:06:52,542 --> 01:06:56,667 I've been very fortunate to meet some of the smartest people 1211 01:06:56,875 --> 01:06:59,917 in the world of theoretical physicists, 1212 01:07:00,083 --> 01:07:03,000 and during those conversations, 1213 01:07:03,167 --> 01:07:05,375 many times it's gone towards portals. 1214 01:07:05,542 --> 01:07:09,583 And the response coming back from the physicists was, 1215 01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:12,667 "These portals can be directed and targeted." 1216 01:07:15,083 --> 01:07:17,667 Is it possible that when people go through 1217 01:07:17,792 --> 01:07:19,833 these time tunnel portals 1218 01:07:20,042 --> 01:07:23,292 and they have no memory of what went on, 1219 01:07:23,293 --> 01:07:25,249 it's because there's nothing for them 1220 01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:26,750 to have a memory of 1221 01:07:26,917 --> 01:07:29,708 because for them it was just an instantaneous thing? 1222 01:07:29,709 --> 01:07:32,874 PAULIDES: So, I'm one of these people, as an investigator, 1223 01:07:32,875 --> 01:07:34,875 that lives in the world of facts. 1224 01:07:35,042 --> 01:07:38,208 I don't hypothesize, I don't theorize, 1225 01:07:38,375 --> 01:07:40,425 and I'm very careful about where I tread 1226 01:07:40,542 --> 01:07:42,667 and wh- who I talk to about these things. 1227 01:07:42,833 --> 01:07:46,083 And when you hear from a scientist who's credible, 1228 01:07:46,208 --> 01:07:48,875 saying these things could be occurring, 1229 01:07:49,042 --> 01:07:50,750 it makes you uncomfortable. 1230 01:07:50,875 --> 01:07:53,645 And it makes you wonder, really, what might be going on. 1231 01:07:54,792 --> 01:07:59,333 NARRATOR: Could mankind be on the verge of an incredible breakthrough? 1232 01:08:00,375 --> 01:08:03,083 Might we soon learn that traveling backwards 1233 01:08:03,292 --> 01:08:07,250 and forwards in time is, in fact, possible? 1234 01:08:07,417 --> 01:08:09,958 Perhaps further clues can be found 1235 01:08:10,167 --> 01:08:12,667 by examining a famous UFO event 1236 01:08:12,875 --> 01:08:15,333 reported by military personnel 1237 01:08:15,458 --> 01:08:20,750 that involved profound revelations about the future. 1238 01:08:25,249 --> 01:08:29,874 When talking about time travel, we have to talk about 1239 01:08:29,875 --> 01:08:32,541 that extraordinary event witnessed by dozens of people 1240 01:08:32,542 --> 01:08:35,542 at the U.S. Air Force base at Bentwater, in England, 1241 01:08:35,708 --> 01:08:39,458 the Rendlesham Forest incident, where two military personnel 1242 01:08:39,625 --> 01:08:42,917 who were involved had truly profound experiences. 1243 01:08:43,083 --> 01:08:44,893 Yeah, and both claimed to have seen 1244 01:08:45,042 --> 01:08:46,833 strange lights in the forest, 1245 01:08:46,834 --> 01:08:48,332 and then one of them later claimed 1246 01:08:48,333 --> 01:08:50,500 to have had a missing-time event, 1247 01:08:50,708 --> 01:08:52,667 and the other one claimed to have seen 1248 01:08:52,875 --> 01:08:56,000 some kind of a craft as it was sitting in the field. 1249 01:08:56,001 --> 01:08:57,624 CHILDRESS: Yeah, and he said that he got 1250 01:08:57,625 --> 01:09:00,833 a message that the craft was being piloted 1251 01:09:01,042 --> 01:09:02,500 by humans from the future. 1252 01:09:02,667 --> 01:09:04,917 We talked about this in a 2022 episode 1253 01:09:05,083 --> 01:09:08,667 of Ancient Aliens called "The Time Benders." 1254 01:09:08,668 --> 01:09:11,541 NARRATOR: In Suffolk County, England, 1255 01:09:11,542 --> 01:09:14,041 there is a remote forest in the village of Rendlesham 1256 01:09:14,042 --> 01:09:16,833 that has become famous for being the site 1257 01:09:17,042 --> 01:09:21,125 of one of the most extraordinary UFO encounters ever reported. 1258 01:09:21,250 --> 01:09:23,833 And some of those who experienced it 1259 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,625 believe this incident also involved time travel. 1260 01:09:27,750 --> 01:09:32,167 The event occurred on December 26, 1980. 1261 01:09:32,375 --> 01:09:34,625 Airman John Burroughs was performing 1262 01:09:34,792 --> 01:09:37,917 a routine security check at a U.S. Air Force base 1263 01:09:38,125 --> 01:09:39,458 when he received orders 1264 01:09:39,625 --> 01:09:43,000 to investigate a possible downed aircraft. 1265 01:09:43,001 --> 01:09:45,041 JOHN BURROUGHS: My supervisor called me on the radio and asked me 1266 01:09:45,042 --> 01:09:47,792 to meet up with him so we could check the east gate. 1267 01:09:47,793 --> 01:09:50,124 We're driving down the road leading to the east gate 1268 01:09:50,125 --> 01:09:52,458 to check on it when all of a sudden he saw 1269 01:09:52,667 --> 01:09:54,417 some strange lights in the forest. 1270 01:09:54,418 --> 01:09:58,041 So I decided we'll call it in and let them know 1271 01:09:58,042 --> 01:09:59,602 something strange was going on. 1272 01:09:59,667 --> 01:10:02,458 They decided to send one of the security units down, 1273 01:10:02,625 --> 01:10:04,708 which was Sergeant Penniston. 1274 01:10:04,709 --> 01:10:06,957 He got down there and he saw the same strange lights 1275 01:10:06,958 --> 01:10:08,208 that we were seeing. 1276 01:10:08,209 --> 01:10:11,291 SERGEANT JAMES PENNISTON: I could see all these multiple 1277 01:10:11,292 --> 01:10:13,042 color lights and things like that. 1278 01:10:13,125 --> 01:10:15,000 And the air felt different. 1279 01:10:15,208 --> 01:10:18,542 I don't know how to really explain that. 1280 01:10:18,708 --> 01:10:21,500 But it did feel like there was electricity 1281 01:10:21,667 --> 01:10:23,333 on our skin and hair and stuff. 1282 01:10:23,458 --> 01:10:26,292 But that progressively got worse 1283 01:10:26,293 --> 01:10:27,999 the closer we got to the tree line. 1284 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,250 And it got more intense. 1285 01:10:29,417 --> 01:10:31,347 BURROUGHS: There seemed to be, like, 1286 01:10:31,417 --> 01:10:34,042 an electricity-charged atmosphere, 1287 01:10:34,043 --> 01:10:35,707 and then, also, there were points where there- 1288 01:10:35,708 --> 01:10:38,583 it seemed like everything was going in slow motion. 1289 01:10:38,584 --> 01:10:41,791 NARRATOR: As the servicemen approached the strange lights, 1290 01:10:41,792 --> 01:10:45,375 Sergeant Penniston reportedly saw a large craft 1291 01:10:45,542 --> 01:10:47,542 just beyond the tree line. 1292 01:10:47,543 --> 01:10:49,624 PENNISTON: The craft was triangular in shape, 1293 01:10:49,625 --> 01:10:52,167 measuring about six to seven feet high, 1294 01:10:52,375 --> 01:10:54,583 black in color. 1295 01:10:54,584 --> 01:10:56,749 I had come around to the far side of the craft, 1296 01:10:56,750 --> 01:10:58,541 and that's when I noticed that there was, 1297 01:10:58,542 --> 01:11:00,207 you know, inscription on the side. 1298 01:11:00,208 --> 01:11:02,124 You know, it was about three feet long, 1299 01:11:02,125 --> 01:11:04,750 maybe six inches high, um, 1300 01:11:04,958 --> 01:11:08,375 and, uh, so I'm expecting to find, I don't know, 1301 01:11:08,542 --> 01:11:10,875 some kind of prototype stuff, uh, USAF. 1302 01:11:11,042 --> 01:11:13,392 I'm-I'm looking for something very familiar. 1303 01:11:13,423 --> 01:11:16,624 Instead of something familiar, 1304 01:11:16,625 --> 01:11:19,208 I see these pictorial-type glyphs. 1305 01:11:19,375 --> 01:11:22,125 And got running my hand over the side of the craft. 1306 01:11:22,292 --> 01:11:24,125 I don't know how to explain this. 1307 01:11:24,292 --> 01:11:27,000 It's like someone was holding a picture up, okay? 1308 01:11:27,208 --> 01:11:29,750 I could see it in my mind's eye. 1309 01:11:30,958 --> 01:11:32,875 Zeros and ones. 1310 01:11:34,167 --> 01:11:36,875 So I recorded those, one after another. 1311 01:11:36,876 --> 01:11:40,041 HESELTINE: When Penniston touched 1312 01:11:40,042 --> 01:11:42,250 the craft, he then said 1313 01:11:42,417 --> 01:11:46,250 that he felt a strange download of information, 1314 01:11:46,375 --> 01:11:48,500 uh, to his mind. 1315 01:11:48,708 --> 01:11:52,500 And he felt compelled the next day to write down 1316 01:11:52,708 --> 01:11:54,750 a series of zeros and ones, 1317 01:11:54,917 --> 01:11:58,125 which we now regard as binary code. 1318 01:11:58,292 --> 01:11:59,750 POPE: Years later, 1319 01:11:59,917 --> 01:12:03,750 a computer programmer took this information, 1320 01:12:03,917 --> 01:12:06,708 ran it through a translation program 1321 01:12:06,875 --> 01:12:09,417 and a message emerged. 1322 01:12:09,542 --> 01:12:14,167 The message read: "Exploration of humanity 1323 01:12:14,375 --> 01:12:18,333 "continuous for planetary advance, 1324 01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:21,667 "eyes of your eyes, 1325 01:12:21,833 --> 01:12:25,125 origin year 8100." 1326 01:12:25,292 --> 01:12:30,500 When one sees "origin year 8100," 1327 01:12:30,501 --> 01:12:33,041 one is forced to speculate, might we be looking 1328 01:12:33,042 --> 01:12:35,250 not just at extraterrestrials 1329 01:12:35,375 --> 01:12:38,417 but time travelers from the future? 1330 01:12:38,583 --> 01:12:41,500 NARRATOR: After the incident, the U.S. military 1331 01:12:41,708 --> 01:12:43,917 conducted a brief investigation 1332 01:12:44,042 --> 01:12:46,708 but allegedly tried to keep the eyewitnesses 1333 01:12:46,875 --> 01:12:48,625 away from the press. 1334 01:12:49,708 --> 01:12:52,792 But for Airman Burroughs and Officer Penniston, 1335 01:12:52,958 --> 01:12:56,000 the event wasn't easy to leave behind. 1336 01:12:57,250 --> 01:13:00,708 Both men had lasting physical effects from the encounter 1337 01:13:00,875 --> 01:13:04,167 and even reported strange dreams. 1338 01:13:04,333 --> 01:13:08,500 After the incident, I started having throat and eye problems. 1339 01:13:08,501 --> 01:13:10,291 At one point, my gums turned white. 1340 01:13:10,292 --> 01:13:12,167 I also had vision problems, 1341 01:13:12,168 --> 01:13:13,749 and when I went and saw the doctor, 1342 01:13:13,750 --> 01:13:15,333 one of his first questions was, 1343 01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:17,833 had I been ever exposed to radiation? 1344 01:13:18,833 --> 01:13:21,750 I've definitely had dreams about it, 1345 01:13:21,751 --> 01:13:24,249 and I still have feelings about what happened 1346 01:13:24,250 --> 01:13:26,917 and what could happen in the future. 1347 01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:31,583 I got out of the service in 1993. 1348 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,250 Then I was out about maybe three months, 1349 01:13:35,458 --> 01:13:37,508 and then I started getting these dreams 1350 01:13:37,625 --> 01:13:39,417 and, uh, nightmares. 1351 01:13:40,375 --> 01:13:42,292 During the dreams, 1352 01:13:42,293 --> 01:13:44,541 I could see that these were time travelers, 1353 01:13:44,542 --> 01:13:47,333 40,000 to 50,000 years in the future. 1354 01:13:47,458 --> 01:13:50,167 I see that their purpose to come back 1355 01:13:50,375 --> 01:13:53,042 was to correct things, was to fix things. 1356 01:13:54,167 --> 01:13:57,167 Something horrible has happened. 1357 01:13:57,333 --> 01:14:00,333 Something they have to correct. 1358 01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:02,875 But it requires time travel. 1359 01:14:03,042 --> 01:14:07,583 It requires going back into the past. 1360 01:14:07,708 --> 01:14:12,375 I never had a feeling of it being extraterrestrial. 1361 01:14:12,542 --> 01:14:14,250 It's always been 1362 01:14:14,458 --> 01:14:19,500 that they were simply us in the future. 1363 01:14:20,417 --> 01:14:21,833 NARRATOR: Could it be 1364 01:14:21,958 --> 01:14:23,888 that the craft reportedly witnessed 1365 01:14:24,083 --> 01:14:26,500 by James Penniston and John Burroughs 1366 01:14:26,625 --> 01:14:28,625 came not from a distant star 1367 01:14:28,792 --> 01:14:31,875 but from a distant point in time? 1368 01:14:32,042 --> 01:14:34,458 Perhaps further clues can be found 1369 01:14:34,583 --> 01:14:37,167 by examining trends in evolution 1370 01:14:37,375 --> 01:14:40,667 and what humans may look like 1371 01:14:40,875 --> 01:14:42,583 in the future. 1372 01:14:46,401 --> 01:14:49,957 The great majority of modern-day contactees 1373 01:14:49,958 --> 01:14:52,625 describe beings known as the Greys, you know, 1374
