NARRATOR: Strange carvings--

They predate any known civilization in the Americas.

NARRATOR: Mysterious sightings--

There are things in this country that nobody's even

dreamed of.

NARRATOR: And unexplained phenomena.

But when you see radar tracings,

ground-based eyewitness reports, there's something going

on here.

NARRATOR: Is there more to America's past than is found

in our history books?

And could the mysterious stories and relics

found throughout the land be evidence

that the American continent has extraterrestrial origins?

DAVID CHILDRESS [VOICEOVER]: America

is, really, a very mysterious place, with all kinds

of strange legends.

And some of the explanations may have

to do with extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Millions of people around the world

believe we have been visited in the past

by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

And if so, can the proof be found in America?

Stephenville, Texas.

On the cloudless evening of January 8th, 2008.

MAN [RADIO]: [inaudible].

More than a dozen people, including a police officer

and a private pilot, spot a luminous spherical object

floating silently across the sky.

It was very intense bright lights

and they spanned a wide area.

It was so fast when it took off.

You know, and it made not a sound.

NARRATOR: Radar reports released by the FAA

confirm an object without a transponder, exactly where

ground observers see the UFO.

The January 8, 2008 encounter of a giant UFO

over Stephenville, Texas is particularly interesting.

A number of people saw this giant glowing ball of light

moving through the sky.

It was picked up on the radar.

NARRATOR: According to reports, for two hours,

the UFO slowly moved some 70 miles across the Texas

countryside.

Military aircraft are in the air nearby.

But curiously, radar records show that they initially

made no overt action towards the unidentified object.

The first government report said that this was not

anything, except for some bizarre optical phenomena,

such as a reflection of light in the sky.

But when you see people who have radar tracings,

ground-based eyewitness reports, that's not a reflection.

There's something going on here.

Stephenville, Texas certainly implies

that UFOs are a commonplace occurrence in America

and the military stays out of the way.

NARRATOR: In the United States, there are over 6,000 UFO

sightings reported every year, more than any other country

in the world.

But why?

Is there an explanation for such a high number of UFO sightings?

Could aliens have a special interest in America?

According to ancient astronaut theorists,

not only are aliens watching over North America today,

but in fact they have been visiting us

for hundreds and possibly even thousands of years.

And they claim the evidence can be found in the strange sights,

structures, and monuments that lie in every corner

of the continent.

America is, really, a very mysterious place with all kinds

of strange legends.

So trying to put all of these things together,

in context, shows us that we're living

in a very unusual continent full of magic and mystery.

NARRATOR: Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio.

The Kivas at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

Big Horn Medicine Wheel, in Wyoming.

Many Native American tribes say that at these ancient sites,

and countless others, entities, that they call Star Beings,

came down from the sky to teach their ancestors.

CLIFFORD MAHOOTY [VOICEOVER]: To the Zuni people

and other tribes, there's a spiritual connection

with the Star Beings.

They're the ones that actually rule the--

the universe or the world that we're on.

If you look at the petroglyphs, there's

a lot of references to those type of entities.

NARRATOR: According to tribes, like the Zuni and Hopi,

stories of these other worldly visitations

exist not only in the oral traditions passed down

from their ancestors, but also in petroglyphs carved into rock

all across America.

On the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico,

there are literally thousands of ancient carvings

that most outsiders have never laid eyes on.

And the Zuni claim that some of these petroglyphs

depict visitations from Star Beings.

There is definitely evidence that aliens visited North

America in the distant past.

And there are petroglyphs throughout this part

of the country carved by ancient Americans that depict just

that.

What can you tell me about this petroglyph right here?

You know, if you can see on top of that,

where maybe a head would be, it's kind of eroded off.

But on the next part of it, there's four compartments.

Look like extension of something sticking out.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Yeah.

Almost like legs.

It could be something that they saw in the air.

Isn't there a legend that beings visited

on top of this mountain?

Oh, yes.

On all of the mesas.

In conjunction with all the stories of Star People

descending from the sky in fiery shields and things

like this, when I see a pattern like that, I always think,

what if this is something that they saw and then they carved

onto a rock?

CLIFFORD MAHOOTY [VOICEOVER]: And a lot of these

are sacred drawings.

They're just not graffiti, like a lot of people say there.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: No.

Never.

There is no such thing as that in those days.

Look at the triangle up there.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: And you've got the dots around it

that have been carved into the rock that remind me like stars.

NARRATOR: Could the ancient people in this part of America

really have been trying to depict encounters

with alien spacecraft?

There are legends and myths all around the world that

can be interpreted as having been visits

by extraterrestrials.

And many think that such stories don't exist here in the United

States.

But the fact is that there are things in this country

that nobody's even dreamed of.

NARRATOR: According to ancient astronaut theorists,

there is evidence that otherworldly beings were not

only witnessed by Native Americans,

but also by the European colonists.

And curiously, one of the earliest UFO sightings

reported in the colonies occurred in an area

that the local Wampanoag nation claimed was a point of contact

with Star Beings.

The Hockomock Swamp, southeastern Massachusetts.

Located 25 miles south of Boston,

in and around the suburban town of Bridgewater,

this vast wetland is infamous for being the heart

of the Bridgewater Triangle.

According to Native American legends,

this 200-square mile region has been a hotbed of UFO sightings,

dating back to before Columbus arrived in the New World.

CHRIS PITTMAN [VOICEOVER]: Within the Bridgewater

Triangle, a huge amount of interesting paranormal activity

has been reported, including very high numbers of UFO

sightings.

Some people speculate that maybe it's

the presence of the Hockomock Swamp.

The very name Hockomock means "place where evil spirits

dwell."

European colonists settled this area in the 17th century.

But the stories of paranormal activity

here go back long before that time.

Time and time again, we see stories

about beings that live in the sky,

fly in canoes, what are apparently spaceships

that land, people that get out and interact

with the Native Americans.

NARRATOR: On May 10th, 1760, in this same area where

Native Americans say Star Beings interacted with humans,

European colonists reported seeing mysterious lights

in the sky.

The account appeared in a publication

that was read throughout the English speaking world called

"The Gentleman's Magazine."

According to historical records, at 10 AM,

a sphere of fire appeared that emitted a light bright enough

to cast a shadow in bright sunlight.

And this object was reported to be

seen not only in Bridgewater, but also in Roxbury, over 30

miles away.

Now, that's interesting to me, because the fact

that people in two different cities

reported seeing the same thing at the same time, to me,

says that they really saw something.

It was seen by a huge number of people.

And one observer remarked that the sounds that this giant ball

of light made was heard more in the middle of its travel

than at the beginning, which I think

is a very interesting detail that does correlate,

to some extent, with more modern UFO reports.

The Bridgewater sighting of 1760

is just one of many incredible events

that took place in colonial America.

It was mysterious.

It was the frontier.

Something was up there in the sky, way

before any powered flight had been invented

by modern humanity.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the strange lights seen

over the Bridgewater Triangle were produced

by the same alien beings that exist

in Native American legend?

Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes

and claim that a recent archeological find

suggests that extraterrestrials have not only been visiting

America from the time of our earliest known civilizations,

but even centuries before recorded history began.

Western Nevada, 2013.

On the West side of the dried up Winnemucca Lake,

researchers take samples from a layer of white carbonate,

covering petroglyphs carved into limestone boulders.

Radiocarbon tests performed by the University of Colorado,

Boulder reveal that the petroglyphs were etched

between 10,500 and 14,800 years ago, making them the oldest

petroglyphs ever found in North America.

Winnemucca Lake in Nevada is the site

of petroglyphs that date all the way back to 8,000 BC.

That is amazing.

Because, right here in America, we now

have absolute proof of a civilization that predates

the Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia

by over 3,000 years, minimum.

And there's nothing else like it.

Looking at some of these petroglyphs,

you've got to wonder if these aren't being drawn

by early Americans who are interacting

with extraterrestrials and then drawing what they think they

see.

DAVID WILCOCK [VOICEOVER]: When we look at the petroglyphs

themselves, the actual designs, we also

find very unusual formations, including spirals.

This is something that we see very consistently

in many ancient cultures, which is often associated

with the shape of the galaxies.

They may be aware that they were a part of a galaxy.

Who gave them this information?

How did they obtain this?

Why would they make these illustrations?

This has given rise to the theory that could there have

been civilizations not dissimilar to ours,

but thousands of years ago or tens of thousands of years

ago, that have now become lost to the fog of time?

This inevitably sort of raises the question,

does the human race go in cycles?

You know, we're a war-like species.

Will we one day be somebody's memory and somebody's folklore

and they think they're the first?

NARRATOR: Could these petroglyphs that

predate even the earliest known Native American tribes be

evidence of an ancient lost civilization?

And if so, might other even more profound secrets lie hidden

in North America waiting to be discovered?

The Grand Canyon, located in the American Southwest.

This enormous gorge is 277 miles long and a mile deep.

Much of it is remote and rarely traveled.

In 1909, an explorer named GE Kinkaid was boating

through the Canyon on the Colorado River,

when he noticed stains in the sediments

on the east wall of a canyon gorge.

According to his account, when he stopped to get a closer

look, he found the entrance to what

appeared to be a man-made cave.

DAVID CHILDRESS [VOICEOVER]: Kincaid

saw what he thought was an ancient goldmine.

As he climbed up onto the walls of the Canyon

to investigate it, what he really discovered

was not an ancient mine, but a labyrinth of rooms and tunnels

cut into the side of the Canyon that went back hundreds, even

thousands of feet.

GARY A. DAVID [VOICEOVER]: There were passageways radiating

from this main chamber.

He found stone tablets with Egyptian-style hieroglyphics.

He also came to another chamber and it contained

a marble carved statue of Buddha sitting in a Lotus Posture,

holding a lotus in each hand.

There was all kinds of statues made of bronze and mummies

as well.

He described them as Egyptian and Tibetan kind of things.

So therefore, he believed he had discovered some vast secret

city and treasure inside the Grand Canyon.

NARRATOR: Anxious to spread the news of his extraordinary find,

Kincaid reportedly made his way to Phoenix,

where he told his story to a reporter

for the local newspaper.

He then contacted his employer, the Smithsonian Institution.

DAVID CHILDRESS [VOICEOVER]: They sent an archaeologist

named Jordan.

And Jordan then examined the caves.

The Smithsonian allegedly began excavating and removing

the artifacts out of the secret caves.

And supposedly, they were all sent back to Washington DC.

NARRATOR: But mysteriously, there

was no follow-up to the story.

And GE Kincaid was never heard from again.

DAVID CHILDRESS [VOICEOVER]: The caves were apparently

sealed up, metal doors and gates put over them.

The National Park now denies any knowledge or existence

of these caves or cave entrances.

And if you talk to the Smithsonian today,

they will deny any knowledge of the secret city in the Grand

Canyon or that an archaeologist named Jordan worked

for the Smithsonian.

And in fact, essentially, the knowledge

of the secret city in the Grand Canyon

has completely disappeared from history.

NARRATOR: How is it that such an incredible story

that the Arizona Gazette reported

in two separate articles dated a month

apart was suddenly dropped?

Was Kincaid the victim of a cover up?

And if so, what was it that the American government didn't want

the public to know?

According to his own description,

Kincaid's cave lies in one of the most

remote and inaccessible parts of the Grand Canyon.

And since a government permit is required

to enter this treacherous terrain,

few people have ever been able to explore the area

where this cave was allegedly found.

If in fact, there are artifacts that exist from Egypt

or from the Orient in the United States

and they predate history as we know it,

it would completely change everything

we know about our own history.

We'd have to rewrite our history books.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that GE Kincaid really

did find Egyptian and Oriental artifacts

in a cave in the Grand Canyon?

And if so, how did they get here?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found

by examining the stories of the Native American tribes

of the Southwest, who say there is

a connection between the Grand Canyon and Star Beings.

According to the Hopi, just before a catastrophic event

struck the area where their ancestors lived,

these Star Beings led them to safety.

The Native Americans followed an object in the sky, night

and day, to the Grand Canyon, where they found refuge.

LOGAN HAWKES [VOICEOVER]: The Hopi

believe that they were taken to an underground or subterranean

city, where they were nurtured and progressed through levels

to emerge, eventually, on the surface of the Earth.

They emerged through a hole called a sipapu.

It's a very holy place to the Hopi Nation.

The sipapu in the Grand Canyon, we know there is such a place.

This is our Garden of Eden, where we had an--

the beginning of the present world.

We hold the Grand Canyon as a very reverent place

they came out after the last catastrophe

into the present day systems that we have.

NARRATOR: The Hopi elders only recently revealed the Grand

Canyon as the sight of their sipapu,

causing some to question whether this might be the same cave

dwelling GE Kincaid claimed to have found in 1909.

But the exact location remains a mystery.

Supposedly, the entrance into this underground city

of the Grand Canyon is on this Eastern part,

on these slopes right over here.

We were able to get to the edge of the Canyon to look down.

But it's hundreds of feet straight down

on cliffs into this area of the Grand Canyon.

It's just almost impossible to get a good look

or see what is in this park.

NARRATOR: Could extraterrestrials really

have led ancient Native Americans

to this nearly inaccessible area of the Grand Canyon?

Whether Kincaid's cave really exists remains a mystery.

But some ancient astronaut theorists

believe indisputable proof of extraterrestrial contact

can be found today, thousands of miles away,

in the American Midwest.

Henry County, Missouri.

July 19th, 2013.

Driving across her land, rancher Lynn Mitchell

comes upon a horrific sight.

One of her black angus cows lies dead and maimed in a field.

CHRIS PITTMAN [VOICEOVER]: The tongue had been removed.

The udders, the anus, and the reproductive organs

had also been removed.

The veterinarian ruled out blunt trauma as a cause of death.

In fact, no cause of death at all could be determined.

NARRATOR: The Mitchell event is just the latest

in a half century long epidemic of mysterious animal

mutilations that have occurred all across America.

Although experts say they don't know exactly how many animals

have been affected, they estimate

the number ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 a year,

for the past 20 years.

Investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe

was working for CBS News in Denver, Colorado in 1979,

when she witnessed, firsthand, the strange precise injuries

inflicted on animals.

We flew down to San Luis, Colorado,

because I had gotten a phone call from a Sheriff there.

And he's telling me, you need to see this.

We start crossing a field.

And using our arms to get through thick

willows, pushing the tree branches.

And when we got into this space underneath these trees,

it didn't seem possible.

Here was a black and white steer and it was lying perfectly

like it should get up.

There's no violence, but there was a perfect circle

around that left eye that's up.

The hide had been removed, just down to the bone.

And then, the left jaw was perfectly removed.

The tongue is removed.

And there is not a single broken branch.

NARRATOR: Curiously, researchers say that in almost every animal

mutilation case, the organs appear to be the target.

CHRIS PITTMAN [VOICEOVER]: These are very carefully removed.

Not torn out, not chewed away, but precisely and carefully cut

away with what appear to be surgical-type incisions.

There was never any blood found near these carcasses.

In fact, most times, there is no blood within the carcasses

themselves.

LINDA MOULTON HOWE [VOICEOVER]: When you're

dealing with natural predators, such as coyotes,

you're dealing with lots of blood.

It's an entirely different process

and it does not produce these clean, bloodless incisions.

NARRATOR: Are these animal mutilations

truly extraordinary?

Or our farmers and ranchers simply mistaken

about how the animals died?

Dr. Jim Reynolds is a Professor of Livestock Medicine

at Western University in Pomona, California.

Over the course of his career, he

has seen thousands of animal injuries.

After closely examining pictures of these mutilations,

he believes many of the animals died from ordinary disease

or natural predator attacks.

But he says other pictures, like this one, taken in Caldwell,

Kansas, in 1992, are harder to explain.

Just looking at the picture, I can't--

I can't explain how this happened.

What's strange about it is that there's

no evidence of hemorrhage or bleeding around the-- the area.

We don't see any blood on the tissue.

As a longtime field veterinarian,

I've not seen this on a dead cow in my career.

NARRATOR: Another mutilation case from 1982

also raises questions for Dr. Reynolds,

because of the surgical fashion in which the body parts looked

to have been removed.

I can't really explain the removal of this ear.

It could have been chewed off by a scavenger.

But I can't really explain.

I would expect, if this had been chewed off,

that there would be a little more tissue damage and probably

fresher tissue.

I'm not sure about this one.

NARRATOR: While mainstream medical professionals

are unsure who or what could be responsible for these attacks,

ancient astronaut theorists suggest the answer may be found

by examining strange findings reported at other mutilation

sites.

Sometimes the animals are lying on top of charred patches

of ground.

Sometimes those charred patches are exactly

the same size and shape as the animals themselves.

Very often, there have been reports of strange lights

in the sky or on the ground, in and around the time

where the mutilations are taking place.

I have come to the conclusion, the phenomena that

is behind the global animal mutilations of the last,

at least, 100 years are extraterrestrial, biological

entities.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that extraterrestrials

are behind the cattle mutilation phenomenon?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest

that the evidence for this conclusion

dates back much further than just the past 50 years.

The oldest case that I've been able to discover

is from England in 1606.

This is mentioned in James I court records.

Hundreds of sheep were being found strangely slain

and parts were taken away.

But the meat was left behind.

And the particular passage in the record

has a very interesting quote at the end.

It said that these cases or incidents "tendeth

toward fireworks."

NARRATOR: But why would alien beings that are presumably

thousands of years more advanced than humans

choose to abduct and maim animals?

What could they want with these extracted body parts?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe that the explanation

behind this frightening phenomenon

may be that extraterrestrials are actually conducting

experiments to benefit humankind.

One intriguing theory of the cattle mutilations

is that extraterrestrials might be monitoring the cattle herd

to try and determine if there are emerging viruses that could

jump from species to species.

That's to say, they infect fact the cattle.

And then, when eat cattle in the form of beef.

And then, we get infected, which is exactly what happened

with mad cow disease in Britain.

NARRATOR: Could animal mutilations really

be proof that alien beings are still present in America today,

continuing to monitor our progress

and even intervening in earthly affairs?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by examining strange events witnessed by the United States

military.

Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana.

March 16th, 1967.

Before dawn, sentries and maintenance crews

near the base's nuclear missile silos

see mysterious lights flying back and forth across the sky.

These lights are so bright that the men on the ground

can't identify what they are.

But when one of them takes up a position, just

outside the base's security fence,

a sentry calls his superior to report a UFO.

CHRIS PITTMAN [VOICEOVER]: The people

on the ground were trying to make sense of this sudden wave

of sightings.

Alarms started going off.

The nuclear weapons were going off

alert, which means they were moving into a state in which

they could not have been fired.

When one missile seemed to shut itself off, it was a huge deal.

There was an uproar.

People thought, well, there are maintenance crews at this site.

Maybe they're doing work on it that require taking the missile

offline.

They didn't notify us.

They didn't follow protocol.

But when the other missiles started to go offline

in rapid succession, they realized something really

unusual is happening.

In fact, they brought in teams of engineers

later to try to figure out what had happened.

STEVEN GREER [VOICEOVER]: This was documented in memoranda

that went back and forth between that facility

and NORAD about how could this happen?

They were trying to explain how in the world

this has happened, because this is obviously something that

would be of im-- immense interest

to the national security people in charge of our weapons.

DON DONDERI [VOICEOVER]: Boeing, who made the missiles,

could not find what was wrong with them.

They could duplicate the fault by sending electronic signals

into one part of the electronic system of the missile.

But that system was protected by shielded cables and the rest.

So how they were taken offline is not known to this day.

NARRATOR: But who, or what, was responsible for the seemingly

inexplicable nuclear shutdown?

The Washington-based Disclosure Project

has done detailed research on encounters between the military

and UFOs.

And based on the evidence, they are convinced this incident was

an alien encounter.

A UFO, somehow, took offline and rendered unlaunchable

at least 16 and maybe up to 20 intercontinental ballistic

missiles.

The men who were there had told me

that it wasn't just that there was the effect.

They actually did see the UFO.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that aliens at Malmstrom Air Force

Base were trying to send us a message?

Some ancient astronaut theorists believe that the high number

of UFO sightings reported near military installations

indicates that aliens are not only present in America,

but that they have taken measures to shape our future.

3, 2, 1.

Ever since we detonated the first atomic weapon,

UFOs have taken an interest in our nuclear facilities.

They are wanting to see, to what extent, we might be

a risk to this planet and to others who may be out in space

who are peaceful.

Could it be that extraterrestrials have been

visiting us now in much greater numbers

since we developed the capability to annihilate

the planet with nuclear weapons, specifically to ensure that we

do not do so?

NARRATOR: When a flurry of UFO sightings

started being reported in the late 1940s and '50s,

some Native Americans took it as a warning sign,

based on their own stories of Star Beings.

In 1948, a Navajo writer named Oge-Make wrote a magazine

article drawing parallels between the modern UFO

phenomenon and the experiences of the Native people

who lived in the Death Valley area of California.

It describes a past of the Paiute Indians.

And there was a species of human who lived in the mountains

on the west side of Death Valley, who

had a marvelous and complicated civilization.

It contained vast rowing boats, as they're

described in this myth, vast flying machines.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS [VOICEOVER]: Oge-Make questions

white man's thinking that stories of flying saucers

and mystery ships are something new.

And he says, and I quote, "if you had red skin,

you'd know that this is not true."

He writes that his people have been seeing objects

like this in the sky for thousands of years.

And he basically says that, for his people,

the idea that aliens have visited Earth

is not merely a theory, but it's a fact.

The elder Paiute chief who told this story said that they

believe that these UFOs have an interest in our Earth

and that they don't want to see our environment, our world

destroyed by the actions of man.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the UFOs spotted at Malmstrom

Air Force Base in 1967 were the same entities

that many Native American tribes refer to as Star Beings

and that they caused the shutdown

of the nuclear missiles to send us a message?

Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes,

and claim that aliens may even have played a decisive role

in the War of 1812.

According to the Colorado-based Mutual UFO Network, the largest

UFO investigative organization in the world,

in the first week of 2012, reports of UFOs in the United

States suddenly skyrocketed, with a staggering 233 reports

coming in from 36 states.

And ever since, the numbers have continued to grow.

If there really are aliens still visiting Earth today,

have they taken a special interest in America?

And might they even be helping to determine our future?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer may be found

by looking back at one of the most important events

in American history.

Washington DC, 1814.

Two years into the bloody War of 1812,

the American hopes for victory over the invading English army

seem to be dying.

And now, the unimaginable is happening.

A foreign army is poised to enter Washington DC.

DAVID CHILDRESS [VOICEOVER]: It was a very hot summer

that year.

The British forces were able to completely overwhelm

the very young United States Army at the time.

And they marched into Washington DC.

President Monroe and all the other politicians

had left the capital.

And at that time, the British forces

were finding it basically a deserted city.

So they began to set fire to Washington DC,

starting with the White House.

And they were basically gonna just burn down our nation's

capital.

NARRATOR: The United States of America,

then just a few decades old, is on the verge of going down

in flames.

But then, something strange happens.

That summer day was a very hot, sultry day.

And at first, they thought this would really help burn down

Washington DC.

There weren't any clouds in the sky.

But suddenly, the weather changed very, very drastically.

Big storm clouds moved in.

It began pouring rain.

And then, suddenly out of nowhere, this tornado formed.

And it went straight at the British troops

and forced them to retreat.

And at the same time, the pelting rain

put out all of the fires.

And Washington DC was saved.

CHRIS PITTMAN [VOICEOVER]: History books

record this as a stroke of incredible good luck

for the Americans.

But some ancient alien theorists believe that perhaps this was

a UFO encounter, that it was an extraterrestrial intelligence

that created that storm and changed

the course of that battle and perhaps American history.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the storm that

helped the United States win the War of 1812

was actually produced by extraterrestrials?

And if so, were they trying to protect

the fragile American experiment?

It's interesting to speculate that perhaps there

was something about America that an extraterrestrial

intelligence took interest in, whether it was freedom

of religion, new ideas about democracy, about a republic,

or something else that drew the attention of aliens

and might have made them want to help this country become

a success.

And I think that that would really be because the United

States is-- as a country, was prophecied to exist,

in a sense.

And the extraterrestrials very much

nurtured the-- this young United States

and watched its growth very carefully,

like a parent watching a child growing up and being very

protective of it too.

And when the extraterrestrials saw this moment

where the United States could lose this war and be occupied,

they decided to step in and change history.

NARRATOR: Could the mysterious sightings and strange incidents

that have been reported throughout our history

be evidence of America's extraterrestrial heritage?

Since the beginning of recorded history in North

America, we've heard of these sightings.

And we, today, in our modern world,

are re-encountering these same creatures.

And you have to ask, are they the same beings?

Are they the same creatures that have been seen for thousands

of years and now we're being asked to find a place for them

in our world?

I'm totally convinced that the evidence makes it true,

beyond reasonable doubt, that we are being reconnoitered

by extraterrestrial civilizations.

NICK REDFERN [VOICEOVER]: And the big question

is, why is this?

My personal view is that they could be teaching us, trying

to upgrade us.

You know, we're pretty warlike species.

Possibly somebody from out there might

want to try and harness and rein in our warlike abilities,

in the event that one day we head out there as well.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that aliens have been visiting

America and watching over its inhabitants

throughout human history?

Could there be evidence that is yet

to be discovered hidden in caves, on remote cliffs,

or even in the Grand Canyon?

If there really are extraterrestrials

still visiting Earth today, might they

be slowly revealing their presence in an attempt

to prepare us for their return?
