Chile is home to Earth's oldest and most mysterious desert. We have huge, giant

figures carved into the desert.

On the ground are gigantic stone plates, really gigantic.

It has ancient traditions of visitors from the sky.

our ancestors just to tell stories about beings who came from outer space.

And it is considered a hotbed of modern UFO reports.

Chile has one of the highest rates of UFO sightings in the world.

You got two hot spots and they're separated. It's probably very large

this is 35 miles away.

I've never seen anything like this in my life.

Now that the Chilean government is openly examining UFOs, could they

extraterrestrial presence that has been interacting with our planet for

thousands of years?

Extraterrestrial visitation to Chile never ended.

That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. It is truly

amazing. These are the cases where I think there's really something to the

ancient astronaut theory. I do too.

There is a doorway in the universe.

Beyond it, is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

The Atacama Desert, Chile, 2013.

An autonomous rover traverses the barren landscape, carrying out a two -week

NASA -funded mission to collect soil samples from below the surface of the

parched desert floor.

This region of Chile is the driest place on the planet, some parts.

have not experienced rainfall for centuries, making it one of the few

on Earth that mimics conditions on Mars.

Because the Atacama Desert is so similar to the landscape seen on Mars, it's a

very useful research tool for astrobiologists, those interested in

life exists in such difficult environments and how it relates to the

landscape.

On February 28, 2019, the results of the mission are finally published.

While surveying this seemingly lifeless terrain, the rover discovered evidence

of microbial life thriving just below the surface.

The microbial life in the Atacama is very unique, and life has existed where

really shouldn't be.

Anybody who's been to the Atacama Desert, of Chile knows that it's pretty

unusual.

There's some very old life forms there you don't find so easily in other parts

of the world.

Scientists believe that future subsoil sampling on Mars could reveal similar

perhaps even identical microbes.

Is it possible that there is life in the Atacama Desert that matches life on a

planet 140 million miles from Earth?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the desert soil contains

evidence of a more profound extraterrestrial connection.

We have figures that have been carved into the desert, similar to what we see

Nazca in Peru.

And they're huge, giant figures to be seen from the sky.

The Nazca Lines in Peru lie just 500 miles north of the Atacama Desert.

They are the most famous geoglyphs on Earth, with over 1 ,100 glyphs spread

across 155 square miles.

But few people are aware that Chile's Atacama Desert is home to nearly five

times as many geoglyphs as Nazca.

with more than 5 ,000 covering an area of 90 ,000 square miles.

The Atacama Desert has one of the most, if not the most harsh environments on

the planet.

So for civilizations years ago, these glyphs that were engraved into the

you know that was not an easy task.

There is no way.

that anyone would go through this effort unless something very compelling and

something very real happened to our ancestors.

And so I think it's time that we pay closer attention to what our ancestors

really tried to describe.

Of the thousands of geoglyphs in Chile, one towers above the rest.

The Atacama Giant.

measures 390 feet, 30 feet longer than a football field.

It sits on an ancient hillside known as Cerro Unitas.

When you walk by this, you cannot really see the chain.

This has been designed, constructed, you know, to be seen from above.

And like at Nazca, seems to be a signal to the sky gods and those who are flying

above the desert.

So who are they?

It would seem to be extraterrestrials.

The Atacama giant who has these lines coming out of the top of his head. We

to ask the question, are these the beings that the geoclip makers were

communicate with?

Could the figures depicted in the Atacama and at Nazca represent

extraterrestrial visitors, as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

And if so, could both the Nazca lines?

and the Atacama glyphs serve a larger, more interconnected purpose, having been

made long before any national borders existed.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest they could mark an ancient

flight path.

So when you look at all of these glyphs in Peru and Chile and the vast desert

spaces and all of the UFO activity there, is it possible that Chile is

this UFO avenue?

Is it possible that Chile is this flight path for extraterrestrials? An alien

alley?

It's interesting when you look at the Nazca lines and the Atacama geoglyphs

together.

These are symbols that are best observed from the sky and they explode in

numbers as you move south to the Atacama. Could this suggest that these

were some sort of aerial guide guiding ancient aliens on their way into Chile?

And if so, this is exactly how the runway lights work on modern airports.

I think what we are seeing today is what was seen in the past,

because Chile is honestly like a kind of arrival point.

For ancient astronaut theorists, what makes the Atacama geoglyph even more

compelling is the fact that Chile also boasts the highest number of reported

sightings in the world.

There is a huge wave, a large quantity of UFO sighting.

Quite simply, there is not one family in Chile whose member has not had a UFO

experience.

For some reason, Chile has one of the highest rates of UFO sightings in the

world. Nobody really understands why, but it seems to be in a region that

there's a cluster of UFO sightings.

Chile is such a vast country. It encompasses a wide range of different

There are jungles, there are deserts, there are forests. There's huge

biodiversity too, and diversity in human populations. There are modern first

world cities and indigenous peoples.

If we're being visited, everything that you would want to see on planet Earth is

there in one nation.

Could there be a link between Chile's high number of UFO reports and the

geoglyphs found in the Atacama Desert?

Incredibly, the Chilean government itself has suggested a connection

country's ancient and modern mysteries.

Chile's National Tourism Board establishes a designated UFO trail.

A 19 -mile route through one of the most infamous UFO hotspots in the country,

and it leads to an enigmatic site known as El Inlandriado.

This megalithic platform was constructed from 233 volcanic blocks, each weighing

upwards of 10 tons.

Now, the Enladrillado is a plateau about 800 meters in diameter.

It is not a place of easy access.

You have to go and horseback for a couple days in order to get there.

There is the belief that it was related to UFO landing.

Also on the ground.

are gigantic stone plates, really gigantic.

And it might very well be that El Andrelado was something like a spaceport

the extraterrestrials.

Is there both ancient and modern evidence that Chile has been visited by

extraterrestrials for thousands of years?

And if so, why?

Perhaps further clues can be found.

by examining an indigenous tribe that once existed in the southernmost reaches

of the country and their mysterious ritual.

Sierra del Fuego, Chile, 1919.

German missionary turned anthropologist Martin Gusinde arrives in Chile's

southernmost outpost, just 200 miles north of Antarctica.

He is met by native islanders known as the Selknam.

But by the time of Gusinde's arrival, the once thriving tribe had been almost

completely wiped out.

pre -columbian people which live in very extreme

southern chile and argentina in the patagonia and when english

came to the country they committed genocide and today

the selenium are extinct

Something else that happened to them is that many of them were taken back to

Europe to be displayed in what was called human zoos.

So, unfortunately, it was a genocide. It was a genocide against this tribe.

Before the tribe's tragic and complete annihilation, Gusinde took a remarkable

series of photos of these people.

In 2015...

His work was finally published in the Lost Tribes of Tierra del Fuego,

documenting the Selknam's unique ceremonies and rituals.

The Selknam were a marvelous culture.

They had various rituals, and a pantheon of gods would make them perform a

series of ceremonies where they would dress up representing these gods from

sky. The creator gods of the Selknam actually descended from the sky and gave

knowledge to the local population.

These pictures were taken in black and white. But in real life, the entire body

is covered in bright red and white. And it is signifying the fire of heaven

according to the traditions.

So you have to wonder what it means, the fire of heaven that descended from the

sky. Now you combine this.

with the representations of the elongated skulls and the very strange

costumes that they have.

And right there, you have a connection to extraterrestrial visitation.

Where the Skulknam are located, there have been records of UFOs in that whole

area.

And if that area is active in UFO sightings, then it is possible that we

thinking what the Selknam must have been thinking in that time.

They were definitely communicating with other worlds, with mythological

creatures and things, and so there very well could have been a component of them

having had extraterrestrial encounters and now trying to communicate and

continue that communication.

Could the clothing, body paint, and rituals of the Selknam people have been

inspired by interaction with extraterrestrial visitors.

They dressed in all kinds of strange costumes.

They had very specific rituals that tied them to the land and to the stars.

When you look at some of these strange costumes with strange antennas coming

of the side of their head, you have to wonder, are they imitating

extraterrestrials with their costumes?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, compelling evidence

that alien visitation occurred in this part of the world, not only in the

distant past, but continues even today.

Santiago, Chile.

August 17, 1985.

Salvador Gigante, the longest -running variety show in television history.

interrupts its scheduled broadcast with an urgent report.

At about 2 p .m. or something like that, Salvador Gigante cuts the

transmissions, takes the cameras outside to the parking spot, and they spot this

incredible object in the sky, clear blue sky.

We're talking about a silver -looking object.

I was just a child in that moment, but...

I can't remember what my dad told about that. And he said that it was

astonishing because it was very quiet light in the

sky and it was there, I think, 40 or 50 minutes and it didn't move.

The Santiago UFO, as it became known, was seen from Antofagasta to Concepcion,

a distance of about 1 ,200 miles, or almost half of the country's coastline.

I was perhaps 10 years old at the time that we saw it. And you could hear on

radio, you know, broadcasts from the Navy telling you that they have not been

able to identify, they don't know what it was. It was one of those cases that

really make you wonder, could it have been extraterrestrial? Yes, it could

been.

Ancient astronaut theorists point out that this mass sighting was reported

what could be a specific flight path that has been documented since

A route marked by Peru's Nazca Line.

The geoglyphs of the Atacama.

The megalithic platform of El Enladriado.

And reaching as far south as Tierra del Fuego, the homeland of the Celtnod

people.

The indications are that this UFO activity has been going on in Chile for

centuries, if not thousands of years.

Two, three, or maybe five centuries ago, our ancestors used to

tell stories about beings who came from outer space and who came to give

us information.

it seems to me that Erich von Däniken's core theory is preserved

and kind of confirmed.

The Santiago UFO incident is only the tip of a massive iceberg of well

-documented reports regarding inexplicable aerial phenomena observed

But if these sightings represent otherworldly encounters, Do

have a special interest in this area that some now call Alien Alley?

Papa Yuskama, Chile.

April 25, 1977,

4 .15 a .m.

Corporal Armando Valdez patrols the northern desert with a seven -man

unit.

Suddenly, their lookout bursts into camp.

He has just witnessed two bright violet lights descend from the sky and land 500

yards away.

Corporal Valdez was the leader of this patrol, and he approached these objects.

What happened next is shrouded in confusion and mystery.

His men saw him almost disappear into the light.

He recalls getting disoriented, confused, perhaps passing out.

And next thing he knew, he reappeared again.

But the strange thing was that he had five days' growth of beard.

And his watch showed a date five days into the future.

We were able to interview four members of Valdez's squad.

We interviewed Armando Valdez, and everyone corroborated that this

had actually occurred.

Immediately following the incident, Corporal Valdez returned to his men.

on the verge of collapse, and uttered an ominous phrase.

You don't know who we are or where we come from, but we will be back soon.

Based on the growing number of reports since this mysterious encounter, many

believe that they were true to their word.

There are so many UFO sightings in Chile. It's a hotbed.

of UFO activity.

And even just in the last eight years, there have been some significant UFO

sightings that the Chilean government has actually admitted to.

2012, the Chilean Air Force documented five lights forming strange geometric

patterns in the night sky. And then in 2015, eight mysterious orbs flew in an

oval formation above Santiago.

Just recently in 2019, several bright red objects were seen streaking over the

skies of southern Chile.

Chile is a place where there's a tremendous amount of UFO activity.

And fortunately, the Chilean government is totally above board on these

findings.

We see an extraordinary range of cases in Chile from close encounters.

through to pilot encounters with UFOs.

Why have UFO sightings persisted in Chile in such abundance for hundreds, if

thousands of years, as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

I think the reason why Chile, to this day, is considered a hotspot of UFO

activity is because Chile features one of the biggest uninhabited geographical

locations on Earth.

The northern part is desolate desert that's virtually unpopulated.

And the southern part of Chile is fjords and glaciers. It's also

hardly populated down there, too. There are all kinds of hiding spots.

Vacant places on the map where absolutely no one goes.

It's an ideal place to hide.

It'd be an ideal place for an underground base.

Anything that enters our territory can hide.

Centuries can pass and no one will discover it.

Are extraterrestrials hiding in or even below?

the uninhabited regions of Chile?

And if so, is it their intention to merely observe humanity?

Or could there be something more tangible attracting them to this part of

world?

Even highly advanced extraterrestrial civilizations will have resource needs.

With Chile, one wonders if it isn't copper.

They have the biggest reserves anywhere on the planet.

There are also vast supplies of lithium and staggering amounts of natural

resources, too.

It is not surprising to me that this whole strip that's present -day Chile

just goes 3 ,000 miles straight, that this would be a hotbed of UFOs, because

that area of the planet is huge with raw materials and resources.

So if any extraterrestrials would arrive on planet Earth, that area of the

planet would be blinking on their instruments with, hey, come here, check

this area of the planet.

We have data, concrete data of UFO appearances in mines, in

hydroelectric power plants, including such cases as in Lake Holborn, in the

of San Clemente.

The UFO landing and takeover of the hydroelectric power plant caused a vast

quantity of blackouts.

When these lights would appear, the locals and the farmers would call them

light robbers. Why?

Because supposedly the locals would attribute the blackout to these UFOs.

Have extraterrestrials mined this region's vast deposits of natural

since antiquity?

Or more recently, tapped into energy generated from Chilean power plants?

Perhaps definitive answers are just over the horizon.

With more and more unidentified flying objects invading the country's airspace

every year, unlike the United States, the Chilean government is actively and

openly

searching for answers.

Santiago, Chile.

1990.

After a 17 -year rule, Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet steps down,

ushering in a period of reform across the country.

With a new spirit of government transparency and social freedom, the

well as military personnel, begin to openly investigate Chile's unrivaled UFO

phenomenon.

Now, when it came to UFOs, this is not something new in Chile. In Chile, we

had sightings long before Pinochet.

So, after Pinochet, when the democracy comes back, The military forces were

making an effort to change the public opinion about them.

Following the country's newfound openness to UFO sightings, control tower

personnel observed a flurry of mysterious aerial activity in Chilean

Unidentified objects were flying dangerously close to Chilean aircraft.

I do believe it's our right to know exactly what we are seeing, what our

military is seeing all over the world.

Several notorious near -miss incidents elevated Chile's UFO activity from

harmless curiosity to an issue of national security.

As a result, in 1997, the Chilean government instituted the Committee on

of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena, or CIFAA.

FIFA -R started as a result of pilot sightings.

Pilots, navigators, radar operators were reporting UFOs.

Some of these objects came dangerously close to aircraft.

The Chilean government decided to act.

So this is unique.

It's government, it's the military, and, importantly, it's the scientific

community as well, all working together.

with one common aim find out what these sightings are who's responsible what's

going on gets reports from all citizens

from the far north down to antarctica and these reports are made by our

in the last 22 years of investigation we have received almost 900 reports

Our process and our manner of looking at these phenomena has been very rigorous

because we owe it to our community.

Instead of secrecy and cover -ups and conspiracies, we have an atmosphere of

openness where people are almost encouraged to come forward and report.

The default position of CIFAR after their investigations is to publish,

release the case files.

Tell the people what you've discovered.

This is astonishing and refreshing.

CFA insists that governments around the world should take a similar approach to

accelerate our understanding of these aerial anomalies and reveal their true

origin.

To us, it is important that more organizations or institutions

or countries get involved in the study of this phenomenon.

The phenomenon clearly exists.

We don't know exactly if there is only one explanation for its origin.

Without a doubt, however, when other countries or other states create

institutions like ours, they contribute to the security of airspace operations.

We have more good documented video evidence out of Chile than almost any

nation I can think of.

On March 13, 2012, the Chilean government unveiled footage of a curious

caught on camera above the prestigious El Bosque Air Force Base in Santiago.

Crowds were gathered to celebrate the change of Chilean Air Force Command in

2010, recording fighter jets performing acrobatic maneuvers overhead.

After investigating the footage, CIPA concluded that the jet, We're not alone.

The El Bosque was one that CFA was very excited about.

And when they slowed down the videos, you could see these objects zipping by

incredible speed.

This case acquired notoriety once the videos were viewed.

In these videos, there was a dark object.

that crossed the lines of flight of these squadron formations.

And this is where it gets really intriguing, because the official

that this UFO was traveling at a speed of around 4 ,000 miles an hour.

Since the objects in the El Bosque footage only reveal themselves for a

moment, definitive answers remain elusive to investigators.

But just a few years later, the Chilean government would release an even more

incredible video.

November 11, 2014.

Just outside of Santiago, Chilean Navy officers aboard an Airbus Cougar

helicopter are testing an infrared -clear high -definition camera.

Suddenly... the camera captures a strange object flying alongside them at

altitude of 4 ,500 feet.

After tracking it for several minutes, they witness what appears to be some

of discharge coming from the craft.

The Cougar case was a military helicopter back in 2014 that produced

an infrared camera.

We're talking about military equipment.

We're talking about millions of dollars in equipment.

It's nine minutes long, but they have continuous infrared footage of this

phenomenon. That's really unprecedented.

And if this phenomenon is going on for nine minutes, we can do analysis on it.

UFO researchers consider this to be one of the most baffling incidents ever

recorded.

Could a deeper analysis of the footage provide undeniable proof that what the

Chilean Navy officers caught on camera was, in fact, an alien aircraft?

Los Angeles, California, November 25, 2019.

For more than a decade, image analyst Michael Bradbury has examined videos of

alleged UFOs.

looking for any sign that they could be something other than man -made aircraft.

Intrigued by the recently released video shot from a Chilean Navy helicopter, he

has invited astrophysicist Dr. Travis Taylor to join him and lend his expert

opinion in examining the footage.

The Chilean helicopter video is really intriguing and fascinating because you

have this...

vehicle or phenomena whatever it is and then it starts releasing some type of

material behind it so we absolutely need to understand what this phenomena is

all right here we go i'm not going into it

with a belief that it is or isn't something no so let's apply our

it and see what we can come up with everything i look at i look at open

-mindedly You know, from a standpoint of we could be seeing something special

here. And then again, it could be a possible bird or a bug. That's always an

option inside the atmosphere of planet Earth. It's just the way it is. So this

is from the helicopter not far from Santiago. Not far.

November of 2014.

Okay. There's the object.

And it's only visible in infrared format.

That's really intriguing.

The high -def video, it's like it's not even there.

Two ground radar, didn't see it. The radar on the helicopter could not pick

up. So super unique circumstances here.

You got two hot spots, and they're separated.

You know, that's intriguing.

It's probably very large because this is 35 miles away.

And how do we know for sure it's 35 miles away?

Based off of the captain that was flying the helicopter.

That was his estimate. I've never seen anything like this in my life.

Michael inverts the image so they can examine the object's shape more closely.

What I've done here is taken the basic infrared, and I've just kind of flipped

it and adjusted it a little better for clarity purposes.

You can clearly see the shape of the vehicle or whatever the thing is. It's

peanut -shaped.

Why is it peanut -shaped?

The pilot, his description was it had a flat body with these two, like,

bright lenses or something. You know, it kind of does look like two jet engines

if you're looking at it from the back, but the motion on it.

Looks like it's moving side to side, and the aspect ratio doesn't change on the

circles. It's not going into the page as it should be. There's no other

structure. That's the thing. You would see.

We've got wings, a nose cone. You wouldn't just see the engine. You can

an aircraft with an infrared camera and you see the structure because it's hot.

You've got sun shining on it. The engine, just the mechanics of it make it

That's what I'm looking for here is reflectivity off of the physical

And there's nothing.

That kind of throws that idea out.

After isolating the object, Michael applies color filters to better define

object's unique heat signature for closer analysis.

Now, this one is really interesting.

This is adjusted, not altered. Sure, I got it. So you've got black is hot here.

Green is ambient temperature, I'm assuming. Then white is cold. Correct.

here's the thing. There's clearly a field of cold air around this thing.

That's baffling. This thing, it's hot and then instantly cold. It's cold. And

in nature, that's not how things work. There is a different temperature bubble.

around the vehicle than there is around normal vehicles.

Exactly. Which suggests some type of field, whatever that means.

It could be electrical, magnetic, gravitational.

We just don't know what it is, but there is some sort of clear anomaly in some

sort of field around this craft.

The most amazing thing from a scientific standpoint is some sort of low pressure

or cold area immediately around whatever this phenomena is.

From a physics standpoint, we can't really explain what's causing that. So

does it start releasing the particulates? It does at about five

video. So right there. Now that's really interesting.

So it's very hot, right? It's saturated black, very hot.

So again, in high depth, you can't see it. That means it's a temperature plume.

It's not necessarily a particulate plume.

If you spray out jet fuel from the back of a plane, it starts cooling off almost

immediately, and you even get ice crystals in it. Absolutely, because it's

affected by the atmosphere.

This thing stays hot. And it holds its shape, which in itself is highly

It doesn't follow standard fluid mechanics.

No. You can try to debunk this as just an earthly vehicle all you want to, but

I've never seen any earthly vehicle that is explained this way.

What on earth could this thing be?

The video analysis suggests to Travis that this craft possesses technology

is more advanced than anything that can be found on Earth.

That's really interesting.

Michael completes the analysis using a variety of metrics.

This is converted infrared, full gamma reduction.

And you've still got two hot spots. Clearly you've got two hot spots in your

peanut shape, and they're separated.

You know, that's...

Intriguing. Looks like a diamond shape. Looks like a diamond at times.

Clear in some formats, but not visible to the naked eye. It could be like two

hexagons or two diamonds, whatever it ends up being.

Finally, Michael has one more thing to show Travis that he feels makes this

footage even more extraordinary. That's a good look at it right there.

That is, that's insane.

In 2017, the Chilean government released astonishing footage of a UFO caught

on infrared camera near Santiago.

After new analysis, astrophysicist Dr. Travis Taylor has concluded that this

strange aerial object possesses capabilities that are not consistent

known human technology.

But as far as image analyst Michael Bradbury is concerned, perhaps most

incredible of all is an image that appears not in the video, but etched

desert floor.

There is a glyph on the ground that was found in the desert that has two diamond

-shaped objects with a plume coming out behind it that has a line in the center

of it. No kidding. That is very intriguing.

And you see that same structure that was seen by the Chilean Navy. They match

nearly perfectly.

Just like the phenomenon caught by this Chilean helicopter, like the diamond

things we were seeing on the infrared.

That's a phenomenon right now we're seeing with our own eyes, and we see

somebody else saw it somehow. How old is the glyph?

Several hundred, if not.

Thousands of years. So that's really exciting. It's no coincidence that that

found in the same geographical part of the world.

That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. It is truly

amazing. These are the cases where I think there's really something to the

ancient astronaut theory. I do too.

Just because thousands of years ago people did not have video cameras

mean these things did not exist.

These diamond -shaped wedges have the exact same trail as we can see in the

UFO video.

So is there a connection? And in my opinion, as far as Chile is concerned,

there is a connection between modern UFOs and ancient craft.

Could the striking similarity between an ancient euclid and a craft captured on

an infrared camera provide compelling evidence that extraterrestrials have

present on Earth for thousands of years.

And if so, has an alien flight path been positively identified in South America?

There are UFO reports from the modern industrialized cities, and there are

reports from the indigenous peoples.

Now, in two completely different groups,

and report the same thing. This tells me they're reporting something tangible

and real.

What is really interesting is the connection between the contemporary

UFOs and the mythological UFOs. I think that

aliens are visiting us and they are hidden from our

eyes because They are waiting for our existential development.

Is it possible that the vast desert landscape stretching through Chile and

is an extraterrestrial outpost on Earth?

Do the incredible sightings, curious rituals, and strange geoglyphs tell a

of ongoing alien visitation?

Perhaps as more incredible footage continues to surface, it will be

that our alien ancestors have been among us all along.
