Strain signals from outer space.

That's the kind of thing we're looking for.

The building blocks of life traveling on a meteorite. You're looking at a speck

of water in a meteorite.

That's extraordinary.

An otherworldly presence found in our atmosphere.

So this is a titanium sphere with life inside and life on the outside.

Now what on earth is it? Absolutely amazing. It's blown my head off.

For more than a decade.

Ancient aliens has followed investigators across the globe as

directly to the sites where signs of alien life have been found.

Now, we take a look back at some of the most incredible evidence we've seen,

evidence that according to ancient astronaut theorists, provides undeniable

proof that we are not alone in the universe.

On ancient aliens, we have traveled the globe investigating everything from tiny

microbes to massive megaliths, all in the quest to find proof of

extraterrestrial life.

And one of the most incredible places we've ever visited is a field study site

for an organization called SETI, or the Search for Extraterrestrial

Intelligence.

In 2016, I got the rare opportunity to tour the grounds and learn about how

listen for signs of intelligent life in the universe.

Shasta County, Northern California, March 2016.

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos travels to the Allen Telescope

Array in Hat Creek to meet with the director for SETI research, Seth

This is truly amazing. What can you tell me about this place?

Well, this place is an observatory, but it's a radio observatory. So these

things around us, these 42 antennas, they pick up radio waves. And we're

to pick up very special sort of radio waves, namely some that would tell us

somebody's out there. By having lots of these dishes here, we can look at more

of the sky at once. We can look at multiple star systems at once.

Why radio waves?

What's so significant about radio waves? Radio waves go at the speed of light.

And they also, by the way, go through all the gas and dust that's between the

stars. So, you know, if you want to communicate from one part of the galaxy

another, radio waves are a great way to do it.

So the way this works is actually kind of simple. I mean, the cosmic radio

static, it comes in from the sky, and it bounces off that big reflector there,

that first one. Okay, that's a mirror for radio waves. And that redirects them

to the secondary reflector on the end, on the nose there. And then they're

directed to the receiver, and that's inside.

That information goes through a fiber optic over to the control room.

So this is where the data coming through the fiber optic kind of ends up after

it's been processed in a display like this. And what are we looking at right

here? So we're looking, in this case, at three star systems at once.

Okay, so that speeds up the search. It also allows us to determine whether

really seeing ET or just interference.

The data from one of these star systems is being displayed over on this part of

the screen here. This is called a waterfall plot.

That. Can you see that line of brighter dots there? Yeah, that's slightly more

static at that frequency, slowly going down the dial. That's the kind of thing

we're looking for. So then if this here were an actual ET signal, how would it

differentiate itself?

Would it be a bit thicker, a bit more pronounced, a bit longer?

What are you looking for? It could be all of those things. So what you do is

when you find a signal like this, you make a test. You'll just move the

a little bit and see if the signal goes away, and then point it back at the star

and see if it comes back.

You say, well, that's looking promising. You do that again, go off, go on, go

off, go on. If you do that five or ten times, you start to get excited.

I hope that that day will come very soon.

Although the SETI Institute formally came into existence in 1984,

The practice of listening for extraterrestrial life has been underway

1960s.

Astronomers based at various universities throughout the U .S. have

their radio telescopes into the cosmos in hopes of capturing signals of

intelligent life. And sometimes they receive a transmission they can't

Delaware, Ohio, August 15, 1977.

At Ohio State University's Big Ear Radio Telescope, astronomer Jerry R. Eyman

conducts research for SETI.

While reviewing recorded data, he detects a highly unusual signal

from the constellation Sagittarius.

They were looking for a 72 -second signal that would be coming

from extraterrestrials.

And as Dr. Jerry Amon monitored the output of the pages that were

coming from space, he suddenly found a signal that matched exactly what they

were looking for. And so he circled the page of data that had that 72 -second

window on it and wrote WOW next to it. And this became known as the WOW signal.

And it essentially was... The kind of extraterrestrial SETI signal that they

were all looking for and had suddenly, briefly found it.

While there are various theories as to what may have caused the now famous WOW

signal, from terrestrial radio broadcasts to comet trails, SETI has not

out the possibility that it may represent modern man's first radio

extraterrestrials.

The wow signal continues to intrigue people.

So we are going to use the Allen Telescope array to re -observe the wow

look in the same spot on the sky, look over a wider range of frequencies, and

there's something up there and it's still broadcasting, of course we would

it.

Might the discovery of the wow signal bring us one step closer to discovering

that we are not alone in the universe?

Perhaps further clues can be found.

by examining life forms on Earth that are capable of surviving inside a comet.

The possibility of finding evidence of alien life by receiving a message from

space is a thrilling prospect.

But many scientists are looking for clues right here on Earth. And in 2019,

got the incredible opportunity to meet with a scientist who believes he may

found extraterrestrial life in one of the most inhospitable environments on

planet.

Whistler Canada.

April 17, 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsouklos and retired NASA scientist Dr.

Richard Hoover are about to board a helicopter bound for a massive ice cave

the Canadian wilderness.

All right, you ready for this? Yes, absolutely.

All right.

Dr. Hoover spent most of his career studying fossils for signs of

extraterrestrial microscopic life.

and is a leading proponent of panspermia, the idea that life on Earth

rained down from comets in outer space.

He has invited Giorgio to accompany him while he investigates the Whistler Ice

Cave, where he is confident that they will find the glacial ice teeming with

microbial and perhaps even more sophisticated life forms.

Life forms.

that may be thousands of years old.

This is just absolutely magnificent.

It really is.

If alien microbes are reaching Earth, Dr. Hoover suggests that they could

survive within such an environment for long periods of time.

Today, he'll examine the glacier for the perfect samples to analyze in his

laboratory. So, Richard, how excited are you to be here to conduct this

experiment? Well...

I'm tremendously excited. This is absolutely a marvelous opportunity to do

studies of life than ice.

After a 20 -minute helicopter ride, the team arrives at the Whistler Ice Cave in

the Pemberton Glacier.

Wow.

It's incredible.

Yeah. Amazing.

Look at that. There must be a thousand shades of blue in this ice cave.

Absolutely fantastic.

And here we see all of these magnificent shades of blue. And up there you see

big streaks of black.

Glaciers like to eat rocks. And as they eat rocks, the rocks gather inside.

And when the sun shines through the ice and hits the rocks, it can cause it to

melt. and form nice little pools of water, and then when bacteria and algae

in there and respire and produce their photosynthetic products, they make their

own atmosphere. So around every tiny rock in this glacier, there is a tiny

planetary system with its own biology, its own atmosphere, its own soil, in

effect, and its own oceans.

The ice here is tens of thousands of years old, but Dr. Hoover believes it is

teeming with life.

Wow. I mean, this is spectacular.

So you just described basically our environment on a microscopic level.

There's an enormous amount of biology above us and throughout this wonderful

glacier.

What we are about to do is take a core sample of this beautiful blue ice.

So what are you looking for specifically right now? What I want to do first is

chop away an outer layer and get into the inner ice. And we'll be looking

of the ice for the ice microorganism.

Now we know there can't possibly be any contamination because

this ice has been in the glacier and now is only correctly closed.

And now we take the core.

Now we're into the ice.

I'll pull the ice core out.

Okay. And that's enough, right? That's enough, yeah, for that first sample.

Yeah, cap that. Okay.

All the microorganisms that grow in ice typically grow very, very slowly.

So, in fact, there are some microorganisms that only reproduce once

century or once a century.

So the microbes that are found in here, are they in suspend animation or are

they moving around?

Probably both. So essentially what you're saying is that this entire case

filled with life.

Yes. But not just that. This entire ice cap is filled with life.

There is this enormous amount of microorganisms that live and thrive and

live in these low temperatures of the ice cave that we have here and ice caves

and icy glaciers all over the planet Earth and probably all over icy regions

within our entire solar system and maybe widely distributed throughout the

entire universe.

Are we essentially inside the interior of a comet?

Is this what it looks like? Yes.

Microorganisms can live in ice, and ice is the dominant component of comets.

That organisms can remain alive and protected by...

the icy material of the comet, until it arrives into another solar system and

blows off chunks of material that can find a planet that it can consider a

wonderful home.

And so this basically ties into the whole idea of panspermia. Water is a

wonderful radiation shield. And when you have a comet that is a few miles in

diameter, on the inside of that cometary crust there is all of this magnificent

ice that has been... frozen and then reworked with material going in and out.

So comets are not just a magnificent place for panspermia.

I am convinced that comets are an absolutely wonderful place for the

life.

As Giorgio and Dr. Hoover take their samples to a lab to be analyzed, what

of life forms might they find within the Pemberton Glacier?

Could it support the theory that life on comets is more common?

than we ever thought possible.

First sample that we got.

Now, back in the lab, they are hoping to observe microorganisms that remain

dormant within the glacial ice and are just now returning to life for the first

time in thousands of years.

Do you see anything?

Oh, yes, yes, we've got bacteria.

This is fantastic. I mean, look at this one spinning right here.

This one just moves straight across the screen. And this one is tumbling.

And notice there's a cell that has just undergone cell division.

Here's another one that's just undergone cell division. Okay.

The quest for extraterrestrial life, to me, has been a lifelong one, as it has

been with you. So I've traveled around the world, climbing pyramids. I've

at statues. I've been to hundreds of museums.

I've read...

Countless ancient texts. And here we are looking at something that shows

extraterrestrial life that may have come here millions of years ago. The

fascinating thing is...

that a far more extraordinary hypothesis than the existence of extraterrestrial

life is the hypothesis that life exists on the planet Earth and nowhere else in

the universe. If that were to turn out to be what really is the case, then we

would be completely unique and we would be different from everywhere else in the

universe. And that would be an amazing discovery, much more amazing than

out that bacteria or ice worms are crawling around on the surface of Europa

today. This is incredibly fascinating, you know, and it's also refreshing to

hear an actual NASA scientist telling me these things.

If, as Dr.

Hoover's research indicates, icy comets are ideal incubators for

extraterrestrial life, And if microorganisms are incredibly common in

universe, is the Earth being regularly bombarded by tiny alien life forms?

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining recent scientific evidence

supports the once fringe theory that life on Earth was seeded from outer

On ancient aliens, we have found abundant evidence that alien life has

way to Earth.

But what if these life forms were deliberately sent out into the universe

possibly even directed right at our planet?

In 2018, Andrew Collins met with researchers who believe that they have

proof that Earth is being regularly bombarded by microbial life forms.

South Yorkshire, England, March 2018.

Author and researcher Andrew Collins travels to Sheffield to witness a

remarkable demonstration.

Hi, guys.

I'm Chris, I presume, and Milton.

He is meeting with microbiologist Milton Wainwright and engineer Chris Rose, two

members of the research team who are convinced that life on Earth may have

originated in space through a process known as...

Panspermia. I understand you've made some incredible discoveries. Please tell

all about it. In the early 2000s, my colleague Chandra Wickramasinghe, we

launching balloons from India. And these were sampling the air at 41 kilometers.

And they show that organisms are continually arriving all the time.

Panspermia is an extremely simple idea.

Basically, it's the idea that life came from space. Instead of being formed on

this planet, it came from space.

My findings relate to panspermia simply in that they show that organisms are

coming in at this very moment from space.

Tell me how you actually collect these samples.

This is our balloon that's going to give us the buoyancy from the hydrogen gas

here. Now, our captain mechanism is right here. Let me show you this. This

exposes little metal stubs to the environment.

And you're looking to see if you can get microbes coming from the upper

atmosphere and not from the Earth itself. That's right.

All the critics say they're coming from Earth because we're surrounded by life.

But we have lots of evidence that this material is not coming from Earth. It's

incoming from space.

I mean, it sounds incredible. I mean, have you ever lost any of these?

No, and we're not about to start today. So, fingers crossed, guys. Brilliant.

The team moves the balloon into launch position, from which it will ascend more

than 37 kilometres, or 23 miles, into the air.

OK, guys, ready?

Andrew, on you. Countdown, please. OK.

Five, four...

Three, two, one, let it go.

Ah, there she goes.

Once the balloon reaches its target altitude within the Earth's

the capture mechanism will hopefully collect samples of non -Earth -based

microbial life.

After the sampling is complete, the balloon bursts, and the capture

descends back to Earth under the safety of a parachute.

The team uses GPS tracking to locate where the mechanism lands.

Once retrieved, the sample is quickly secured in a sealed container so that it

does not become contaminated with microbes from Earth.

Moments later, Andrew joins Milton and Chris at a nearby laboratory.

Here, they will extract the microbes inside a sterilized clean room.

and then analyzed them to make sure no earth microbes had contaminated the

sample.

A clean room.

How can you ensure the sterilization? What are the protocols behind this

process? It's really all about sterilizing the air inside to make sure

inside contains no microorganisms. So all the air is filtered.

Milton and Chris remove the carbon tabs from the capture mechanism and place

them into vacuum -sealed containers.

This will further prevent contamination while they view the samples with a

scanning electron microscope.

Wow. What on earth is that? I can tell that this is biological.

If you analyze this, I'm pretty certain this will show as carbon, oxygen, and a

little bit of nitrogen.

Now that's the signature for life.

We're saying that this piece of biological life could potentially be

extraterrestrial in origin.

Right. There's nothing from Earth around it. It's pristine, so it's incoming.

Now, if we do a bit of modeling studies, we come to the conclusion that nothing

bigger than 6 microns can't go out.

Okay. And this is 200.

So it's a very large particle, and it's coming in.

What we actually could be looking at here...

is a genuine alien life form.

What you're looking at there is an organism or a clump of organisms that is

incoming from space to Earth.

Nothing bigger than six microns can go from the surface of the Earth to these

altitudes that we sample at.

And yet we are finding particles all the way up to 200.

They can't be coming up from Earth.

Absolutely amazing. It's blown my head off.

biological organisms, not from Earth, but from somewhere in space?

Could we be looking at actual evidence of a living organism from a world other

than our own?

We've actually found evidence of what could be extraterrestrial biological

entities. To see those images was extraordinary, and it's convinced

me that...

the earth is surrounded by life that almost certainly came from outer space

this is what we took earlier as they say this is the most amazing

image i've ever seen in my life it's got biological material here and this

material we know contains carbon oxygen and nitrogen so this is biological when

we analyzed the ball, we found it contained titanium and a small amount of

vanadium. So this is a titanium sphere with life inside and life on the

Now, what on earth is it?

One possibility is that this is directed panspermia.

Some civilization has put biological material inside and just on the outside

this thing and then spewed it out. And this suggests that some alien

civilization is feeding planets.

This smoking gun of panspermia, or even direct panspermia, could give

us the best evidence yet that aliens, in some form, seeded

life on this Earth, which is an incredible thought.

Is it possible that extraterrestrial life forms are being deliberately sent

planet Earth?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that archaeologists may

have actually found physical remains of the beings who are sending them.

On ancient aliens we have traveled around the world looking for definitive

evidence to prove that we are not alone in the universe.

And what could be more definitive than a human -like skull that appears to be

something other than human? In 2017, I got to examine an elongated skull up

close, and what I discovered was absolutely mind -blowing.

New York City.

February 2017.

At New York University, Giorgio Suclos meets with art collector Jared Collins,

who is in possession of a 2 ,000 -year -old elongated skull.

Oh, wow.

That is fantastic.

The skull is incredibly well -preserved, and Jared is having it tested at the

university to find out if it might possibly contain abnormalities.

that indicate it is something other than human.

He agreed to meet Giorgio outside of the anthropology lab for a first look at

the skull.

So how did this come to be in your possession?

Well, it's not actually mine. It is on loan to me.

Me and one of my colleagues contacted a museum, and we asked them, do you have

an elongated skull in your collection? And they said they have just one, this

one.

And have they told you anything about it? Actually... Like the provenance?

Strangely, this has been in storage for decades. They have never tested it. They

had very little information on it. They know it's absolutely Paracas.

So this skull was found in the Paracas region of Peru.

That's right. But no real modern testing has ever been done on this. Oh, this is

amazing. So let's go, right?

Okay.

NYU professor of anthropology, Dr. Todd Desatel, agreed to conduct a forensic

evaluation of the elongated skull.

I've seen casts. I've never seen one in person.

Okay. Wow.

That is freaky. I mean, I just can't come up with another term.

I love that your first reaction is that it's freaky, because I agree with you.

Well, I mean, look at it. It's quite bizarre.

Let me just move it over to the sterile bench surface.

Wow. So it's very fascinating, besides the shape.

The sagittal suture looks like it has completely fused.

I'm holding it, I'm looking at it, and it's just been completely obliterated.

The sagittal suture is the seam where the two parietal bones of the skull come

together.

Although the markings may be faint due to fusing over time, all human skulls

expected to have some evidence of this feature.

So it is curious that this skull does not.

Nor do the skulls of a number of other mysterious specimens that have been

collected and examined by various experts.

One of the great enigmas of planet Earth is that all over the world,

We find skeletons with people having these elongated skulls.

For centuries, various native cultures have engaged in the ritual practice of

artificially elongating their skulls by tightly wrapping the heads of their

children through infancy.

However, these skulls still feature evidence of the cranial sutures.

Okay, let's move on to extracting some tooth and bone powder to get DNA out of

that. Okay. Excellent.

In order to obtain the needed genetic material from the artifact,

Dr. Disital will need to remove a tooth and drill into it to extract the

samples.

The analysis of the material will determine the sex, ancestral lineage of

the father and the mother.

and any DNA anomalies when compared with the current human genetic database.

Looks pretty good.

We will pack this up and send it off, and in four to six weeks, they should

the result. Four to six weeks, okay. Thank you very much. I really appreciate

your input on this. Take care, gentlemen. You got it.

Los Angeles, California, April 2017.

All right, Todd, you got the results?

Yeah, and they're very, very interesting.

Two months after their initial examination, Giorgio is online with Dr.

to receive the results of the DNA test they performed on the elongated skull.

They did get a good, clean DNA profile from the maternally inherited DNA.

So this particular specimen is actually...

Not found in the New World, not found amongst Native Americans, and it's

typically found amongst Europeans and Middle Easterners.

In fact, the 100 % match was to a Scottish individual.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

Really? In a South American skull?

This is all very strange.

That could mean that people from Europe got to South America.

1500 years earlier than we currently understand that that's

amazing unfortunately the condition of the sample did not yield any y

but that's not surprising there is between a couple hundred

to a couple thousand times as much maternal dna in every cell of the body

So what does that mean? What have we not found out because of that?

Well, one, that would allow us to definitively determine the sex, and

who the father was would be very, very informative.

Unfortunately, we're missing that.

Right. Do you think that a case can be made at all, and again, this is complete

speculation, that perhaps it is not necessarily human?

Is that a possibility?

Well, it's possible, but still we actually don't know what this is.

Since we didn't get any definitive results, obviously a scientist always

to try to do that. This is extraordinary.

Yeah, it still leaves open the possibility of something interesting.

The results confirmed the fact that there is a mystery there.

First of all, We couldn't figure out who the father is of that thing. Number

two, it has European DNA. Two things that make no sense, and it had a missing

sagittal suture.

So I do think that that is an extraterrestrial skull.

Could the elongated skull, analyzed by Dr. Disotel, provide evidence that a

human -like species walked planet Earth that wasn't entirely human?

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining recent scientific evidence

supports the theory that life can exist where we least expect it.

Many of the scientists we've spoken to on ancient aliens believe that the best

place to search for evidence of alien life is on meteorites that have crashed

Earth.

A few years ago, I met with a planetary scientist in England who showed me

incredible evidence that these space rocks could be delivering microbial

extraterrestrial life forms right here to our planet.

Milton Keynes, England, March 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsouklos travels to the Open University.

to meet with planetary scientist Dr.

Queenie Chan.

Dr. Chan.

Georgio. Hello.

Great pleasure to meet you.

Welcome here. Nice to meet you too. Thank you so much for bringing me here.

Dr. Chan recently analyzed two meteorites recovered in 1998 and

something incredibly unexpected.

A salt crystal containing liquid water.

Georgio is eager to find out.

what the implications of this discovery could be, and if it might provide

further evidence that life on Earth was heated by extraterrestrials.

Within a stony meteorite, we've got something called the chondritic

They are interesting because they have organic materials in it.

The meteorite that I found extremely interesting, special, two meteorites

actually, that... and Monaghan's meteorite. They are both ordinary

but they are not ordinary.

They both fell to Earth in 1998.

And what's more interesting is both of these meteorites have salt crystals.

They have stunning blue coloration to them.

More interesting is within these salt crystals, we found water.

liquid water inclusion within them.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. So you're telling me that you found

meteorites that actually contain liquid water in them?

Shall we have a look at it in the clean lab? Yes, please. That would be amazing.

Absolutely.

Before they can examine the meteorite sample, Giorgio and Dr. Chan change into

protective gear that will keep the laboratory sterile.

All right.

And so this is it. This is it. Can we have a look under the microscope?

Yes.

Trying to move that in focus now.

There it is.

I'm going to enlarge it on my screen.

This is it. You're looking at a speck of water in a meteorite.

This is the first time that we found amino acids with water.

This is extraordinary.

Amino acids.

These organic compounds are the building blocks of life.

So finding them within liquid water on a meteorite is extraordinary.

Could alien proteins like these have started life on Earth?

One of the exciting things about the discovery of the blue salt crystals in

asteroids that crashed to Earth is really the amino acids.

Amino acids are the building block of proteins.

that Earth isn't the only place where the right chemistry exists for which you

can get light.

In another laboratory, Dr.

Chan shows Giorgio the machine that analyzed the meteorite samples on a

nanometer scale.

The results are then displayed on a computer screen, showing a comparison

between amino acids found on Earth and those that arrived here from space.

This is very interesting because, first of all, we're seeing a bunch of amino

acids that are common in terrestrial life. And over here, we've got other

extraterrestrial amino acids. Really? This is a revolutionary discovery.

I immediately go to the idea of panspermia, that life has been brought

throughout the entire galaxy by means with which we can't even fathom how it

done. The building blocks of protein that we know to be necessary for life,

these very building blocks, the same amino acids that we found on Earth, is

ubiquitous in the universe.

It's everywhere. It's found on asteroids. It's found on comets, too.

estimation, what is the likelihood of life having begun elsewhere?

We've got so many different galaxies, and there are so many Earth -like

And we could have water elsewhere. We know that amino acids are building

of life, are ubiquitous.

So I think it's totally possible.

Could these incredible findings be proof that the seeds of life travel to Earth

from other planets in our galaxy?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

and believe that further evidence can be found in the recent NASA discovery that

there might be life on Mars.

The search for evidence of extraterrestrial life has taken ancient

deep in the jungle all the way up to a remote mountain cave.

But perhaps one of the most compelling places to look is not on our planet at

all. In recent years, new research has suggested that Mars may actually support

life. And in 2018, aerospace engineer Dr. Travis Taylor traveled to NASA

to learn about an exciting new discovery and to see a piece of the red planet

right here on Earth.

Houston, Texas, June 2018.

Scientist and aerospace engineer Dr. Travis Taylor.

travels to Johnson Space Center and meets with NASA exploration mission

scientist Dr.

Elizabeth Rampey.

Dr. Rampey analyzes data obtained by the Mars Curiosity rover, which six years

into its mission is sending back some of its most extraordinary findings yet.

So there was very late breaking news recently from the Curiosity rover, and

interesting information came out of the sample analysis at Mars or SAM

instrument. Okay. So SAM can measure gases in the atmosphere, and it can also

measure gases that are evolved from samples. So basically we drill a rock,

deliver that powder to the instrument, and then that instrument heats up the

sample and measures the gases that are coming off.

Whatever outgas is, it can tell you what that is, right? Exactly. So a big piece

of information from the atmosphere is that we've been tracking methane over

last few Martian years, and what we see is that there is a cycle to it where it

spikes late summer, early autumn, and then dips again.

Wow. Yeah, so the big question is why is that happening? So that could possibly

be due to an organic material, right, or a biological source.

Exactly. Meaning life. Right, I know. So huge.

It's not the only hypothesis out there. Sure. But, you know, there is the

possibility that there is extant life on Mars that is creating this methane.

Wow. The fact that NASA has now released information that they've measured a

cycle of methane that goes up in the summer and down in the winter, it sounds

very similar to how biological processes create methane here on Earth. That

could be evidence that there's life right now on Mars.

Life on Mars?

According to NASA, such a profound notion is a distinct possibility.

And other discoveries made by the Space Agency could reveal something even more

incredible. That life on Earth actually originated on Mars.

So what is this? Tell me what this is. Okay, so this is a Martian meteorite. So

this is a rock that came from Mars.

How long ago?

The rock itself is about 180 million years old, so that's when it

on Mars. And to give you some context, 180 million years ago, dinosaurs were

roaming the Earth. Right. Well, we know that this rock came from Mars, so if

there was organic material on Mars 3 .5 billion years ago, something could have

caused that organic material to go from there.

To here, right? Right. And what's interesting about, you know, three and a

billion years ago is that's when life was taking hold on Earth.

Right. And Mars was once very Earth -like with rivers and lakes.

So why not Mars? We've got all the building blocks for life on Mars, so why

couldn't it happen there? So it's very possible that we're descendants of

Martians. I'm not going to rule that out.

When you look at all of the evidence that's out there, from microbes in the

stratosphere to strange signals coming from space, and even ancient bones that

defy explanation, you have to ask, have we already discovered alien life?

The answer is a resounding yes, and I have no doubt that far more incredible

proof is yet to come.
