Millions of planets, similar to our own.

The discoveries of exoplanets over the past few years have been absolutely

extraordinary. And many could soon be within the grasp of our technology.

Think about it.

Civilizations over billions of years could have risen and fallen even before

Earth was formed.

But if we can reach out in pursuit of life on other worlds,

Might they also be reaching out to us?

And have they been doing so for thousands of years?

Could it be that ancient civilizations, ancient aliens from far away migrated

from their home worlds and they found Earth?

The implications for humanity are enormous.

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.

Cape Canaveral, Florida, April 18, 2018.

At 6 .51 p .m., a Falcon 9 rocket lasts off on a mission to deploy NASA's

newest space telescope into orbit, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite,

TAT. TAT is like a survey of the whole sky, a survey of the nearest hundred

light years or so.

of planets that would be around these stars.

Over the next decade, scientists expect that TESS will fulfill its primary

mission, to discover thousands of so -called exoplanets.

Exoplanets are planets that exist outside of our solar system.

We're certainly in an exoplanet golden age of discovery.

Twenty years ago, we didn't know if there were other Earth -like planets in

universe.

And now we can't imagine how we could discover things at a higher rate and

try to make sense of it. It's such a struggle just to keep up with the

discoveries that we're making right now.

It is only recently, with the development of deep space satellites and

-powered telescopes, that a more accurate understanding of nearby

especially planets capable of supporting human life, has been possible.

But it wasn't so long ago.

that the notion of Earth -like planets existing in our galaxy wasn't simply

unknown, it was considered blasphemy.

When the 16th century Italian philosopher and cosmologist Giordano

expressed his belief in an infinity of worlds and raised the possibility that

other planets could harbor life, he was charged with heresy and burned at the

stake. It was heretical, revolutionary to believe that there could be alien

out there.

Giordano Bruno was burned alive in the streets of Rome.

And what was his crime?

To say that there are aliens out there on other planets.

They weren't allowed to think like that. It challenged all their predispositions

and their power structure.

No, there are no other worlds. There's nothing out there.

But there is something out there. There's no question about it.

As recently as the early 1990s, astronomers were still unable to detect

distant planets, even with high -powered telescopes.

It's hard to see an exoplanet.

Imagine trying to look at a firefly next to a spotlight.

It's incredibly difficult because stars shine by their own light. They give off

their own light. But planets reflect light. A typical star is about...

10 billion times brighter than a planet.

Thanks to remarkable advances in technology, astronomers made the very

discovery of an exoplanet in 1992 using an Earth -based telescope.

But that search kicked into high gear in 2009 with the launch of Kepler, the

first space telescope specially designed to find exoplanets.

And in 2018, Kepler was replaced by the even more powerful TESS.

So one of the really cool things about TESS, the new satellite that NASA has

up, is basically it was specifically designed to detect exoplanets by

what's called the transit method, which is where when a planet goes in front of

a star, it blocks the light briefly.

And you really see the light blink on and off.

That telltale dip is what tells you there might be something that's passing

front of it. The regularity tells you that the orbit, which is the easiest way

to actually start looking for new planets.

Although the initial objective in the search for exoplanets was simply to

determine how many stars in our galaxy might have planets in orbit around them,

the actual results were staggering.

Our galaxy has around 400 billion stars.

From what we've seen so far, it is on average every star has at least one

planet. So that means that there are 400 billion at least planets in our

galaxy.

400 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone?

The discovery of such an extraordinary number of exoplanets represents a

change in our understanding of the universe.

But even more radical, is denoting that millions of those planets might actually

be capable of not just supporting life, but generating it.

And to that end, astronomers and astrophysicists actively search for

a region they refer to as the Goldilocks zone.

The Goldilocks zone is exactly that range for a given star of where water is

going to be liquid on a given type of planet.

We want a planet that is not too close, not too far from the mother star, but

just right.

Planets that may have oxygen and H2O, water, that may make possible an

atmosphere and maybe even life.

Based upon current observations, scientists are astounded by the number

potentially habitable planets that exist in the Goldilocks zone.

with at least 400 billion planets in our galaxy. If you just look at 1 % of

that, you're still talking about billions of planets that could

habitable. This is exciting because we once thought that we were the only game

in town that could only exist on the planet Earth.

The discovery of exoplanets, I think it's really changed our view of the

potential for life in the universe.

Fundamentally, I think most scientists would now agree that there is some form

of life elsewhere in the universe.

But in spite of the abundance of habitable exoplanets, many scientists

cling to the notion that the only kind of life likely to exist outside of Earth

is microbial or bacterial.

They are resistant to what they claim are far -fetched notions that these

planets might not only contain more sophisticated or evolved life forms, but

intelligent life forms, some much more evolved or technologically advanced than

our own.

Think about it. The universe is about 13 .8 billion years old. The Earth

is 4 .6 billion years old.

Civilizations over billions of years could have risen and fallen even before

Earth was formed.

Although the realization that the galaxy is teeming with Earth -like planets has

triggered a revolution in conventional scientific thinking.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, it merely confirms what

they have believed all along.

The discoveries of exoplanets over the past few years have been absolutely

extraordinary.

I remember that the first time they discovered this first exoplanet, And me

my colleagues were saying, okay, this will be the first of many.

And now apparently as many as three exoplanets are being discovered on a

daily basis.

So what we've said all along, that Earth is not unique in this gigantic

universe, turns out to be correct.

This raises the question.

that we've been bringing up, that for thousands of years there's evidence of

some type of visitation from other civilizations.

Hopefully our science is able to now detect exoplanets will allow us to

some of these actual home worlds where aliens have been visiting them.

I propose that most of those planets that are in this Goldilocks zone

have life very similar to ours.

The only question is, was it them who came here thousands of years ago?

But while a growing number of mainstream scientists do admit that intelligent

life can theoretically exist elsewhere within our galaxy, they also argue that

the distances between those planets and our own are too vast for any

extraterrestrial visitation to take place.

It is a position that put them in direct conflict with ancient astronaut

theorists, who contend that the keys to extraterrestrial space travel can be

found in Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, and that a voyage to a

star could take not centuries, but seconds.

The Atacama Desert, Chile, August 2016.

At the La Silla Observatory, astronomers searching for exoplanets announced the

detection of an Earth -like planet orbiting the closest star to our solar

system, Proxima Centauri.

They named the planet Proxima b and describe it as both Earth -like and

enough to its star to be capable of supporting life.

One of the more interesting exoplanets we've found recently is Proxima b.

This exoplanet is about 1 .3 times the size of Earth, so scientists think that

it might be rocky, which means that it could be quite similar to Earth.

Proxima b may be habitable.

We'll be able to study it in more detail with large telescopes, and in the next

10 years, we may even be able to get pictures of the planet.

Proxima b is located just over four light years from Earth.

a distance of about 25 trillion miles.

Despite the immense distance, an ambitious program is already underway to

spacecraft to study it.

Called Breakthrough Starshot, the program began as the joint brainchild of

philanthropist Uri Milner and famous cosmologist, the late Stephen Hawking.

For the first time in human history, we can do more than just gaze at the stars.

We can actually reach them.

The goal of Breakthrough Starshot is to send tiny probes, mere centimeters

thick, to the nearby planet.

We take a computer chip, energize it with laser beams and a parachute.

The laser beam inflates the parachute and shoots the chip to the nearest star.

You deploy this and you basically just cruise. You can possibly accelerate

Fairly high, 20 % of the speed of light. And now getting to the nearest star

becomes very recent.

But even traveling at such high speeds, the probes will take 20 years to

complete their journey.

Light travels at a finite speed.

A very simple example of this is the sun is eight minutes away by the way light

travels.

And most things are millions of light years away or thousands of light years

away. If we pick up a signal, from another civilization.

That's a big thing, but it's very distant. They may never get here. We may

meet them.

Indeed, because of interstellar distances.

Here, as ancient astronaut theorists believe, Earth has been visited by alien

entities coming from exoplanets only now being discovered.

Such entities would have to overcome the primary obstacle to space travel, the

vast distance between objects.

You talk to many scientists, and they'll say the same thing over and over again.

The distances between stars are so great, impossible, that these aliens can

visit us.

Think for a moment.

If there are a million years more advanced than us, just realize that

technology, with all our wonders, is only about 300 years old.

In recent years, a growing number of astrophysicists have proposed that

mankind's ability to unlock the mysteries of interstellar space travel

much closer than previously thought.

And they believe the key is by using a theoretically possible structure known

a wormhole, a bend in space -time that was first proposed by Albert Einstein,

which could make travel times between stars not only shorter, but nearly

instantaneous.

From the perspective of ultimate space travel, from my point of view, wormholes

are simply, you take space, which can bend in our theory of general

the modern theory of gravity. You bend it around on itself so you have two

layers that are apart, and you connect them with a tunnel. That tunnel is a

wormhole. They're commonly referred to as stargates because it gives you a way

to get faster than, like, space travel across large distances.

In theory.

Spacecraft that can create wormholes would be able to travel to distant

exoplanets in just hours, possibly even seconds.

If extraterrestrial civilizations far more advanced than humans do exist,

they have discovered the secrets of space travel hundreds or perhaps

of years ago?

And if so, might they have even traveled here to planet Earth?

Mount Palomar, California, October 6th, 2013.

A massive red star in the constellation Pegasus, ten times larger than our sun,

exploded in a colossal supernova.

For the first time, scientists are able to witness the death of a giant star in

real time.

But perhaps even more profound is the fact that because the dying star is 160

million light years from Earth.

Astronomers are actually witnessing an event that took place 160 million years

ago.

So one of the things to realize about astronomy is almost everything we are

looking at is in the past.

The light doesn't travel infinitely.

And a supernova is basically a star exploding.

If it had any planets around it, those are wiped out. So if there was a

civilization or if there was life there, what we're seeing happen now happened

very far in the past.

The violent death of the star in Pegasus provides dramatic confirmation that the

universe is both ancient and dynamic.

But ancient astronaut theorists believe such discoveries also provide reasons

why an advanced extraterrestrial civilization might need to leave its

planet in search of other worlds.

When astronomers look out into the galaxy for dying sun,

if there were beings who had an advanced civilization around this dying sun,

they would, in theory, want to migrate to another solar system, to another

planet that they could inhabit, and it's quite possible that they did that.

and came to our planet, in fact.

We know that billions of years from now, our own star, our sun, will go

supernova. And we are very close now to being able to venture out or migrate to

another habitable planet.

We can extrapolate that to ancient civilizations as well, ancient star

civilizations, who knew that their own star was ready to go supernova, and they

embarked on a plan of planetary migration.

Has the story of the cosmos been, in part, a story of the extraterrestrial

migration of various advanced exoplanet life forms?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a

yes.

And they claim the proof can be found by carefully examining everything from

ancient carvings to the religious beliefs of ancient cultures from across

globe.

Lafayette Observatory, Chile, 2011.

Astronomers announced the discovery of a large Earth -like planet orbiting a

star in the constellation Orion.

The planet is located in the Goldilocks zone, and the star it orbits is very

similar to our own, making it an ideal candidate for extraterrestrial life.

This is exciting because we want to have a stable solar system like the planet

Earth. That's the goal.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, this may be the most

compelling exoplanet discovery yet because throughout the world, numerous

ancient cultures have told stories of otherworldly visitors coming from Orion

and even built their most important structures in alignment with that

constellation.

All around the world, there are these ancient structures that have been built

the form of Orion.

One example that comes to mind is the Great Pyramid of Giza, where the three

pyramids are aligned according to the belt stars of Orion.

But also in the American Southwest, there are structures that are in

to Orion.

Native American myth.

talk specifically about visitors who came here from the Orion

constellation. The fact that Orion's constellation exists in magnificent

archaeological monuments on Earth indicates to me that someone at some

taught our ancestors where and how to build these structures to illustrate

they are from.

Is it possible that the exoplanet discovered in the Orion constellation is

same place where extraterrestrial visitors to Earth came from thousands of

ago? For ancient astronaut theorists, such an audacious notion is a very real

possibility.

And they also insist that Orion is not the only star system from where aliens

may have come.

All over the world we have...

different cultures who identify with certain star systems as their origins.

The Quechua people of Peru, they believe that we're from the Pleiades.

In Africa, we have the Dogon who are saying that our origin is actually with

the Sirius star system.

Various cultures have imagined they have come from specific places, the Pleiades

or Sirius. Well, that would be a planet near the star system, suggesting that,

at least in mythology, there are planets there that could be inhabited by

creatures like us.

While many ancient cultures pointed to distant star systems as the homes of

their gods, ancient astronaut theorists suggest that one of the oldest human

civilizations, the Sumerians, left records of otherworldly beings that came

a planet right in our own solar system.

A planet that until very recently was thought not to exist.

New York City, 1976.

Author Zechariah Sitchin publishes his landmark book, The Twelfth Planet, the

first of over a dozen books.

Based upon Sitchin's translations of ancient Sumerian texts, the twelfth

ultimately reshapes the way millions of people view the history of life on

Earth.

In it, Sitchin claims that ancient Sumerians wrote about an

race that once visited Earth, the Anunnaki.

The term Anunnaki is essentially interchangeable with extraterrestrial.

Because the word Anunnaki itself means those who from the heavens came.

There's a whole pantheon of Anunnaki, basically. There was Anu, who was

essentially the king of all the Anunnaki.

And then his two sons, Enel and Enki.

When we look at a lot of the Sumerian tablets, they seem to have come from a

much larger planet, a reddish glowing planet.

One of the great questions about the Anunnaki is, where did they come from?

Well, Zechariah went back into the ancient texts and began to build a

that the Anunnaki came from an as -yet -undiscovered twelfth planet in our

system that he called Nibiru.

Nibiru is described as a much larger planet than Earth, and it has a very

elliptical orbit, more like a large egg -shaped orbit.

The kicker here is that it goes once around the sun every 3 ,600 years.

So a solar year for them is 3 ,600 of our years.

Fitchin believed that there was a time during this 3 ,600 -year orbit when this

planet was actually relatively close to the Earth.

And Fitchin then theorized the Anunnaki would then fire their rockets, and then

they would come here to Earth.

and that this was how they were interacting with humans.

For decades, astronomers claimed that no such planet could exist in our solar

system. But in 2016, Caltech astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown

made a discovery that could prove this theory wrong.

But Tegan and Brown were using an interesting method of looking for other

planets in the solar system.

Namely, they were looking at dwarf planets and distant Kuiper belt objects

see how they move.

If they exhibit any strange behavior, astronomers can use that to theorize new

planets. And what they found was a theoretical planet -sized mass orbiting

hugely elliptical orbit around the sun.

Astronomers have often suspected, because of certain gravitational

things, that there is still some other planet far out in our solar system,

beyond Pluto.

Astronomers call this other planet Planet X, and it could be a very large

planet. Astronomers cannot see it, but I would suspect that astronomers will

eventually discover it and prove that it exists.

But Teagan and Brown estimate that Planet X has a highly elliptical orbit

takes it thousands of years to make a single trip around our sun.

This matches exactly what Zechariah Sitchin found in his translation of the

ancient Sumerian tablets concerning an extra planet in our solar system.

The thing about it is that if we discover Planet X, then we will also

the Anunnaki.

So they're absolutely entwined. The idea of the Anunnaki and the discovery of

Planet X will prove one another.

Could extraterrestrials have come to Earth from a planet within our own solar

system?

And if Earth has, in fact, played host to alien visitors from multiple worlds,

what brought them here?

According to the ancient Sumerian tablets, the Anunnaki valued one thing

all else.

Gold.

Los Angeles, California, June 2019.

The Trans Astronautic Corporation announces a partnership with NASA to

new venture in space, asteroid mining.

We incorporated TransAstro in 2015 when we saw that SpaceX and Elon Musk

and Blue Origin Jeff Bezos and other entrepreneurs were developing low -cost,

really effective ways to get into orbit. Once we have rockets that can get into

orbit inexpensively, then it makes sense to start building real industries in

space. And one of the first industries is asteroid mining.

Precious metals that we really value on the Earth, things like gold and

platinum, they're called precious metals because they're not around much.

The question is, where are they? And the answer is asteroids.

Metals like gold, copper, and zinc have been mined on Earth for thousands of

years and are vital to civilization.

But their supply is finite, in part because they are not native to this

When the Earth was originally being formed, it was molten.

And a lot of the precious metals were drawn towards the center of the Earth.

And through this molten process, all the heavy elements went down to the core of

the Earth where we can't get out of it.

Then the Earth started to cool and form a cool crust which was made of lighter

material.

It is widely accepted that without access to metals, both technology and

civilization would not have been possible.

But luckily for mankind...

some 3 .8 billion years ago.

It is estimated that trillions of asteroids crashed into the Earth and

a layer of heavy metals into the planet's now hardened crust.

These elements were actually from Earth originally. All of these elements came

to Earth via comets and asteroids that impacted our planet long ago and early

its history.

So all the precious metals that we mine on the earth actually came from the

asteroids The bombardment of asteroids seated Earth's crust with enough metals

to make possible the Bronze Age the Iron Age and today's

technological civilization But many metals including rare earth elements

for high technology are in increasingly short supply because of this many

experts believe the asteroid belt may once again come to the rescue.

You get a typical asteroid of 200 meters in diameter, it will have more of those

rare Earth elements that have been mined on Earth in all of human history.

Of the more than 6 ,000 asteroids in NASA's database, it is estimated that

just the 10 easiest to reach and mine would yield an astonishing $1 .5

in resources.

The asteroid belt could provide for the needs of our civilization for many

centuries, maybe thousands of years into the future.

The natural thing to do is to build spacecraft, go out to the asteroids,

mine them, make goods out of the asteroids.

And we presume that other intelligences, if there are other intelligences, would

think the same way we would. And so anything that seems to make sense to us

could make sense to others.

If other intelligent life forms exist on nearby exoplanets, might they too be

aware of the vast resources that exist in the asteroid belt and also on planet

Earth?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

and suggest that Earth is rich in another commodity that would be of great

to any advanced civilization looking to mine for precious metals, liquid water.

If aliens wanted to mine the asteroid belt, they'd need a base, somewhere to

regroup and refuel.

As it happens, there's one pretty close, and it's called Planet Earth.

Why would aliens come here might well be because we're mostly water on planet

Earth.

They stop here because they could break down water into hydrogen and oxygen

as fuel.

So if you have a craft that somehow uses hydrogen power, you have all the

hydrogen you'll ever need.

It well could be that this is a way station.

for extraterrestrials.

Is it possible that extraterrestrial civilizations have come to Earth not

as refugees from planets orbiting dying stars, but also to mine precious metals

or abundant natural resources like water?

And if so, would that indicate that these Earth visitors might be physically

very similar to ourselves?

La Silla Observatory, Chile, 2009.

Astronomers identify a potentially habitable planet orbiting the star

667c. It's a large Earth -like planet located firmly in the Goldilocks zone.

While evidence of life has yet to be discovered, scientists are able to

speculate as to how life on this planet would evolve.

When we imagine life on other planets, we have to imagine that the environment

on those planets will determine what the creature may look like.

And considering planets larger than Earth, the increased gravity will likely

result in shorter, complex life forms. This results in a more stable life form

and protects against falls.

So life forms on larger planets would likely be smaller than those on smaller

planets.

Like Earth, a major evolutionary force on the planet is the strength of its

Galiza 667c is a red dwarf star, an M star, that's about 1 .4 % as bright as

our sun.

Because M dwarf stars are much smaller than our sun, they're much cooler and

they give off a lot less light.

Because the star gives out such low light compared to our sun, any life on

planets would look much different.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that there is life on Glee 667, see?

Such life would be living in kind of eternal darkness.

In order for life forms on a planet like that to see, they'd be like owls on

planet Earth. They would have very, very large eyes to capture as much light as

possible.

They are going to develop eyes that are perhaps more like insect's eyes, where

you're seeing different light spectrums and heat signatures, something

completely different than the way we see.

For ancient astronaut theorists, these descriptions share a curious similarity

to accounts reported by alleged alien abductees.

Alien abductees give very consistent accounts of some of the types of aliens

they see.

The most consistent account is four feet short, gray, big -headed,

big -eyed aliens.

And this would fit what we might expect with gravity so intense that you

couldn't grow to six feet.

Short, gray aliens with large black eyes?

Is it possible that the habitable planet orbiting Gliese 667c is the homeworld

of the beings known in the UFO community as the greys?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, The planet orbiting

667 C is just one of a number of recently discovered worlds that could

places of origin for extraterrestrials encountered both in modern times and in

the distant past.

Mountain View, California, April 2013.

NASA scientists at the Ames Research Center announced that the Kepler Space

Telescope has discovered two new exoplanets that seem highly promising

Named Kepler 62E and 62F, they are so -called water worlds, planets covered

by an all -encompassing global ocean.

The planets 62E and F are very exciting because they are ocean -covered planets

and in the habitable zone.

So if you're an ocean -covered planet, it increases the chance that there's

actually life on that planet.

If there is a water world, with an atmosphere, with water.

The creatures that may inhabit there are water -born creatures.

They wouldn't necessarily look like human beings standing up on two legs and

arms. They might look more like mermaids.

Ancient astronaut theorists point out that many early civilizations reported

visitors with amphibious, fish -like characteristics, considered to be gods.

They were seen in China, sub -Saharan Africa, Central America, and Egypt, just

to name a few.

These amphibian beings were said to interact with humans by day and retreat

rivers or lakes at night.

Could such entities have come from so -called water worlds like Kepler -62e

F?

Creatures like that, if they existed, would evolve on water worlds.

Planets with a global ocean.

And it just so happens that in the ongoing search for exoplanets, many such

worlds are being discovered.

These half -human, half -fish type gods that are like us, but are still

aquatic and are coming from these water planets.

Extraterrestrials may be very attracted to planet Earth because the oceans are

huge and vast.

So aquatic extraterrestrials could find a very happy home here on planet Earth.

So when we encounter alien life forms on a space, are they going to look like

us? No. They could look completely different from us and have a different

pathway to intelligence.

In their search for habitable exoplanets, Could mainstream scientists

discovering the home worlds of extraterrestrial visitors to Earth?

For ancient astronaut theorists, the answer is a resounding yes.

And they suggest that the search for life is about to be revolutionized once

again as NASA prepares to launch an extraordinary new technology into space.

Geneva, Switzerland, October 8, 2019.

Astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Qualos are awarded the Nobel Prize in

Physics for discovering the first exoplanet in 1992.

In the years since, more than 4 ,000 have been examined and categorized, and

more are being found every day.

Let's do a science experiment tonight.

Go outside, look up, and see all the thousands of stars you see.

Every single one, on average, has a planet going around them.

And about a 1 in 20 has an Earth -like planet.

And so when you look at the stars tonight, realize that somebody could be

looking back at you from outer space.

NASA will launch the James Webb Space Telescope, a satellite that can do

something once thought impossible, take detailed color images of an exoplanet.

The James Webb Space Telescope is a different type of telescope than we've

in space before.

It will give us the ability to look at the reflected light from exoplanets in

the infrared part of the spectrum and to search for the potential for biology.

Being present.

But when we look upon the images of other worlds, and possibly even the

that inhabit them, what will we find?

I think that what's really lying in store for humanity now is that we will

that there are these exoplanets out there, that they have life, and quite

possibly intelligent life, capable of coming to our solar system.

This will cause a sea change all over the world, within scientific communities

and within the religious communities, too.

If astronomers discover exoplanets with intelligent alien life forms, will they

appear eerily familiar?

Could they find amphibious humanoid beings, like the gods depicted in

times?

Small, gray aliens, like those reported by alleged abductees?

And is it possible that some visitors, perhaps coming from worlds very similar

to Earth, might look remarkably like us?

Within established ancient astronaut theory, it's generally thought that

extraterrestrial beings...

coming from outside of our solar system, were interacting with our society, and

they were manipulating our DNA, and in a sense, creating people on this planet,

us, who look like them and are similar to them.

As we discover more and more exoplanets, the implications for humanity are

enormous. I think it's very possible that we're on the verge of discovering

home planet, the place of our origins.

The big revelation will not be, do they look like us, but we look like them,

because we are their offspring.

As scientists continue their search for habitable worlds, are we on the verge of

discovering not only alien life, but the very extraterrestrials that came to

Earth centuries ago?

And will we find that the strange gods depicted by our ancestors as

creations were very real flesh -and -blood entities, not so different from

ourselves?

Perhaps one day soon, we will look at the satellite image of a distant

and see not only mankind's future home, but one that could have once been

inhabited by our ancient alien ancestors.
