And it completely decimates populations. 216 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,849 Within five years, this previously unknown 217 00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:43,399 disease had wiped out nearly one-third of Europe--- 218 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,849 the equivalent, in today's numbers, of more than 219 00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:49,449 300 million dead. 220 00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:54,799 And just like previous epidemics, the outbreaks of plague 221 00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,349 were accompanied by sightings of strange aerial phenomena. 222 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:09,749 People saw strange bronze ships spreading a mist around the entire area 223 00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:16,550 shortly after that people began to become very sick and die. 224 00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:25,049 Bronze ships, just like those reported 225 00:17:25,050 --> 00:17:29,200 during the Justinian Plague 800 years earlier. 226 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,350 But what natural phenomenon could appear in the sky 227 00:17:34,351 --> 00:17:36,600 that would fit such a description? 228 00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:41,799 And what was the mysterious mist that people saw floating down 229 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,950 from the sky? 230 00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:47,749 If you ask a historian today, they would say 231 00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:52,049 that they were hallucinating because of the illness. 232 00:17:52,050 --> 00:17:58,200 But how do you get thousands of people hallucinating the same thing? 233 00:18:02,050 --> 00:18:05,299 One of these supposed hallucinations featured 234 00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:10,349 reports of mysterious cloaked figures spraying mist on the ground. 235 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:18,099 It was this report that gave rise to rumors of a black-hooded messenger of death, 236 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,399 later known as the Grim Reaper. 237 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,399 In one case, the chronicle recounts a group of 238 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,149 men mowing down wheat, and their scythes were making, uh, loud 239 00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:34,699 swishing sounds, but not actually cutting down the crops. 240 00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:37,700 We can imagine that maybe what was perceived in medieval times 241 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:41,299 as scythes, making swishing sounds, were perhaps some kind 242 00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:44,699 of wand shooting some kind of aerosol into the air, that was a 243 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,450 pathogen that made so many people sick. 244 00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:53,599 People reported a number of strange beings that 245 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,649 would spray onto the wheat, 246 00:18:57,150 --> 00:19:01,350 and shortly after that, the Black Death occurred. 247 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,400 And maybe our idea of the Reaper was extraterrestrial in origin. 248 00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:16,700 Mysterious plagues accompanied by extraterrestrial sightings. 249 00:19:18,450 --> 00:19:23,000 And gruesome deaths preceded by ominous apparitions. 250 00:19:24,450 --> 00:19:28,199 But were those strange metallic objects seen in the skies over 251 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,849 Europe really misunderstood cosmic events--- 252 00:19:32,850 --> 00:19:38,200 like meteors and comets--- as most mainstream scientists believe? 253 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,199 In 1731, there were UFO sightings over England, 254 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,849 Ireland and Romania, and they 255 00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:51,350 predated the worldwide flu epidemic of 1732. 256 00:19:52,750 --> 00:19:57,300 People saw a red object in the sky, and at times, 257 00:19:57,350 --> 00:20:01,199 this object generated so much heat that people had to take off their shirts. 258 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,699 I mean, they were just glowing up there in the sky. 259 00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,850 Later on, a plague broke out. 260 00:20:12,050 --> 00:20:14,449 What people called comets back in those days, 261 00:20:14,450 --> 00:20:18,399 we would not call comets today, because anything that moved in 262 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,899 the sky that was unusual, that 263 00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:22,700 was bright, they would call it comet. 264 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:28,150 For example, in the Chronicle of Marvels, by Conrad Lycosthenes, 265 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,300 which was published in the 1500s, he talked about a 266 00:20:30,301 --> 00:20:35,150 comet that was seen in Arabia in the 1400s. 267 00:20:35,250 --> 00:20:37,700 But when you look at the woodcut, it looks like a rocket ship. 268 00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:46,050 But if alien invaders really have been coming to Earth 269 00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:49,650 and spreading disease and plague over the centuries, 270 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,000 why?

283 00:21:27,250 --> 00:21:30,049 Why go through that trouble if all you have to 284 00:21:30,050 --> 00:21:36,700 do is release a toxin into the air, a plague, some type of virus? 285 00:21:36,850 --> 00:21:39,400 It's way more efficient. 286 00:21:40,550 --> 00:21:42,999 But there is another theory. 287 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,950 One more incredible than tales of bronze spaceships and grim reapers. 288 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,499 Because it is a theory so simple and so potentially devastating, 289 00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:56,349 it has mainstream scientists 290 00:21:56,350 --> 00:22:00,900 scratching their heads and running for cover. 291 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,100 1540. 292 00:22:08,101 --> 00:22:10,449 The Rio Grande Valley. 293 00:22:10,450 --> 00:22:15,599 When Francisco Coronado and the Spanish first explored the area 294 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,349 that is now New Mexico, they brought with them a devastating 295 00:22:20,350 --> 00:22:24,349 weapon they did not even realize was part of their arsenal-- 296 00:22:24,350 --> 00:22:26,099 disease. 297 00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:31,699 Smallpox, chicken pox, and measles spread through the 298 00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:34,699 indigenous peoples far faster than the Conquistadores 299 00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,500 themselves could actually travel. 300 00:22:38,650 --> 00:22:42,649 Viruses and bacteria caused 301 00:22:42,650 --> 00:22:46,300 severe plagues that have really changed the course of history. 302 00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:49,450 So when the Conquistadores came over to the New World, 303 00:22:49,451 --> 00:22:53,099 they inadvertently carried small pox, they were immune to it 304 00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:58,050 but the Native Americans had never seen small pox and they were devastated. 305 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,549 That led to the Conquistadores with 900 or so soldiers 306 00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:05,750 that were able to destroy the Aztec empire. 307 00:23:05,950 --> 00:23:09,749 Hundreds of thousands of people, maybe a million or more people, 308 00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:13,800 died simply because they were exposed to the viruses of the white man. 309 00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:19,099 The native populations in the American Northeast 310 00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,499 suffered a similar fate when the European colonists 311 00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:25,649 first arrived on their shores. 312 00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:29,649 The islands of the South Pacific also had their populations 313 00:23:29,650 --> 00:23:33,150 decimated by Captain James Cook and his crew. 314 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,250 Are we like the other places where if we get something we haven't seen before 315 00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:42,200 would it wipe us out quickly for us to react? 316 00:23:43,150 --> 00:23:48,349 "The War of the Worlds" was a beautiful story in the sense 317 00:23:48,350 --> 00:23:52,549 that, at the very end, the common cold killed the aliens. 318 00:23:52,550 --> 00:23:55,100 Because it's too hard to believe the other thing could happen, 319 00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:57,900 that the alien sneezed on us, and they didn't have to do 320 00:23:57,901 --> 00:23:59,299 anything more than that. 321 00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:01,799 Why is that any more farfetched? 322 00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:05,100 For many ancient astronaut theorists, 323 00:24:05,101 --> 00:24:09,449 the possibility of alien diseases being transmitted in much the 324 00:24:09,450 --> 00:24:12,400 same way is a distinct possibility. 325 00:24:12,650 --> 00:24:17,399 My take is, if we've had diseases since the beginning of time 326 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,849 and we had visitations, it's very possible that they accidentally brought 327 00:24:22,850 --> 00:24:24,350 these diseases to us. 328 00:24:25,550 --> 00:24:29,649 Here on Earth, viruses often thrive in new environments. 329 00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:35,699 Could the same be true of viruses entering our planet from another world? 330 00:24:36,650 --> 00:24:41,849 And if extraterrestrial viruses do exist, could they survive 331 00:24:41,850 --> 00:24:44,499 the interstellar journey to Earth? 332 00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:50,999 Many scientists believe the answer can be found in microscopic organisms 333 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,000 called extremophiles. 334 00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:57,950 An extremophile is an organism that can survive extreme conditions. 335 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,000 High temperatures, low temperatures, high pressure, low pressure and so on. 336 00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:07,149 Now of course, the term is based on humans, what we find extreme. 337 00:25:07,150 --> 00:25:09,699 But from its perspective, we are extremophiles. 338 00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:12,150 You know, we live in oxygen, which is poisonous to this 339 00:25:12,151 --> 00:25:13,499 anaerobic organism. 340 00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,399 So if it was studying us, it would say, 341 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,550 "Hey, them humans are amazing extremophiles. 342 00:25:17,551 --> 00:25:18,949 "They can breathe oxygen." 343 00:25:19,550 --> 00:25:22,800 Life has been found on almost every single environment on Earth. 344 00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:25,249 And this is so exciting because other planets 345 00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:26,950 have very different conditions from Earth. 346 00:25:26,951 --> 00:25:30,549 And it gives us hope that if life can exist on almost any single condition 347 00:25:30,550 --> 00:25:33,750 on Earth that it can also live on another planet. 348 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,250 Space, 2007. 349 00:25:40,150 --> 00:25:44,199 A bacteria-ridden chunk of rock is strapped to the outside of 350 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,099 the lnternational Space Station. 351 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:52,649 After 18 months in the hostile environment of space, the rock is retrieved. 352 00:25:52,750 --> 00:25:55,149 And one colony of bacteria actually survived. 353 00:25:55,150 --> 00:25:57,700 And the lnternational Space Station is in low Earth orbit. 354 00:25:57,701 --> 00:25:59,949 It's going into orbit day and orbit night. 355 00:25:59,950 --> 00:26:01,549 It has wild temperature swings. 356 00:26:01,550 --> 00:26:06,199 It gets cosmic radiation, and the vacuum of space, and the life still survived. 357 00:26:09,050 --> 00:26:12,049 Though many scientists still reject the idea 358 00:26:12,050 --> 00:26:17,199 of microscopic forms of life existing in space, even NASA 359 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,899 takes great precautions in protecting people from any 360 00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:23,450 potential alien contamination. 361 00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:25,200 When the astronauts went to the Moon 362 00:26:25,201 --> 00:26:32,899 they were in two weeks of isolation, because the idea of dormant viruses 363 00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:37,500 on our Moon surface was taken very seriously. 364 00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:42,150 In the same way, that ancient aliens might have come to planet Earth 365 00:26:42,250 --> 00:26:47,499 in hazmat suits to protect themselves and us from contamination, 366 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:49,850 so NASA does that very thing today. 367 00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:57,799 In 2006 and 2008, biologists on board several space shuttle missions, 368 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,300 made a frightening discovery. 369 00:27:01,350 --> 00:27:09,150 Salmonella bacteria exposed to 0 gravity actually got deadlier by as much as 700%. 370 00:27:10,150 --> 00:27:14,100 It's interesting that what they found was that at zero gravity 371 00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:18,449 they have mutations on the culture led to a huge increase 372 00:27:18,450 --> 00:27:23,449 in virulence of the salmonella super bug, they do the best in terms of 373 00:27:23,450 --> 00:27:29,149 their mission to self replicate on the 0 gravity, to me it's another indication 374 00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:32,200 that bacteria are space travelers. 375 00:27:35,050 --> 00:27:39,799 What you have is this risk that if you are bringing in 376 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:45,049 viruses or elements from outer space it could become a much more 377 00:27:45,050 --> 00:27:48,250 deadly form of that same germ that initially had developed on Earth 378 00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:54,299 The ability of viruses to evolve and mutate at an incredibly rapid rate 379 00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:59,750 was also at the root of deadliest pandemic in recorded history. 380 00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:03,050 The same one that followed the Fatima event in Portugal, 381 00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:05,900 the Spanish lnfluenza. 382 00:28:06,050 --> 00:28:10,849 We don't know why it came, why it left. It made World War I look puny. 383 00:28:10,850 --> 00:28:15,249 No weapons, class debarments, nobody had raised the level for 384 00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:18,850 defense, it killed with little effort. 385 00:28:18,950 --> 00:28:23,799 Thinking in terms of today's numbers, the 50 to 100 million people who died 386 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,400 in the course of that outbreak would represent perhaps 387 00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:30,150 300 or 400 million in today's terms. 388 00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:32,850 It was a normal influenza, but it changed. 389 00:28:32,851 --> 00:28:34,100 It was mutated. 390 00:28:34,101 --> 00:28:36,850 We had a pandemic flu that was killing young people. 391 00:28:36,851 --> 00:28:39,000 They were dropping dead like flies. 392 00:28:41,650 --> 00:28:44,600 Scientists more recently have come up with this theory 393 00:28:44,650 --> 00:28:46,100 that, yeah, it must've come from space. 394 00:28:47,050 --> 00:28:50,449 It opens the possibility that there is a UFO connection. 395 00:28:50,450 --> 00:28:55,400 Perhaps they are managing us in a very brutal fashion. 396 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,199 The Spanish lnfluenza eventually 397 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,199 disappeared just as quickly as it had arrived, 398 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,550 fading away completely just a year later in 1919. 399 00:29:07,450 --> 00:29:10,749 Scientists believe it had mutated to the point it was 400 00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:13,200 no longer harmful to humans. 401 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,399 But how did this incredibly deadly virus strike 402 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,500 simultaneously all over the globe? 403 00:29:23,050 --> 00:29:27,049 Could it have had any connection to the strange events at Fatima, 404 00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:31,049 and the dire predictions communicated to three children, 405 00:29:31,050 --> 00:29:33,199 supposedly from a heavenly, 406 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,000 or what some would call an extraterrestrial source? 407 00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:47,800 September15th 2007 408 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,099 Residents of Carancas, Peru, watch in fascination as a 409 00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:57,000 gigantic fireball streaks across the sky. 410 00:29:57,950 --> 00:30:01,549 There is a loud explosion--- 411 00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:06,999 and a crash that shakes the ground violently. 412 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,399 Something large and mysterious has fallen to Earth, causing 413 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,599 a crater that scatters debris for nearly a mile in every direction. 414 00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:23,599 Fascination turns to fear when, just a few days later, 415 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,949 hundreds of people become strangely and violently ill. 416 00:30:27,950 --> 00:30:33,000 An extraterrestrial fireball impacted the ground near Carancas in Peru. 417 00:30:33,550 --> 00:30:37,300 This impact sickened a great many people in that area. 418 00:30:42,650 --> 00:30:47,449 That was never explained by authorities who couldn't really have an answer 419 00:30:47,450 --> 00:30:52,549 for why a meteorite strike would cause all these people to get sick. 420 00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:59,100 Meteorites are thought to very be clean and without bacteria or noxious gases. 421 00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:06,149 Does this event suggest that microbes and other living organisms 422 00:31:06,150 --> 00:31:10,600 not of this earth exists somewhere in the universe. 423 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:15,399 It would be narrow-minded to accept that all our trillions of bacteria 424 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,699 and viruses are so unique to take to her everywhere 425 00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:21,299 and every part of this world, that they wouldn't occur 426 00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:25,150 in other planets or other systems around the universe. 427 00:31:29,450 --> 00:31:31,400 The Stardust mission. 428 00:31:33,050 --> 00:31:34,350 2006. 429 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:44,399 A NASA spacecraft plunges through the tail of comet 81P-Wild--- 430 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,149 collecting comet particles on blocks of a sticky material 431 00:31:48,150 --> 00:31:52,549 called aerogel. 432 00:31:52,550 --> 00:31:57,899 The findings stun even the most cynical scientists. 433 00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:01,699 The Stardust detector came back to Earth, and the particles collected 434 00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:06,050 were studied in detail and many organic compounds were found 435 00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:10,250 including the amino acid Glycine, which is a building block for life. 436 00:32:13,650 --> 00:32:17,399 Might asteroids and meteors really be the 437 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,299 delivery system for alien microbes and other 438 00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,200 extraterrestrial life-forms? 439 00:32:25,550 --> 00:32:29,799 Could strange germs and deadly diseases be the result of 440 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,700 biological hitchhikers in space? 441 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,899 If you look at the historical records--- 442 00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:42,450 plagues come suddenly, from almost nowhere. 443 00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:49,550 So I think comets are the natural carriers that one could look to as to being 444 00:32:49,650 --> 00:32:52,050 the source of these epidemics. 445 00:32:54,250 --> 00:32:58,100 Comets were feared by almost all ancient civilizations--- 446 00:32:59,150 --> 00:33:02,049 as bringers of pestilence and death. 447 00:33:03,050 --> 00:33:05,150 But were they really primitive superstitions? 448 00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:12,499 In the 1960's, Nobel Laureate Harold Urey 449 00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:17,099 developed a new field of science called cosmochemistry. 450 00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:21,099 He theorized that meteorites contained the fossilized remains 451 00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:23,300 of space bacteria. 452 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,649 It was dismissed almost instantly by 453 00:33:27,650 --> 00:33:32,050 a huge establishment of American meteoritic scientists. 454 00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:36,700 There's no way, they said, argued that life could be inside a comet, 455 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,350 and so it was sort of--- essentially swept under the rug. 456 00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:51,899 In 1996, NASA researchers, led by David McKay 457 00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:55,699 of the Johnson Space Center, announced that another space 458 00:33:55,700 --> 00:34:01,549 rock found in Antarctica-- meteorite ALH84001-- 459 00:34:01,550 --> 00:34:05,250 contained the fossilized remains of life on Mars. 460 00:34:05,850 --> 00:34:09,799 It must be confirmed by other scientists, 461 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,200 but clearly, the fact that something of this magnitude is 462 00:34:14,201 --> 00:34:18,599 being explored is another vindication of America's space 463 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,399 program and our continuing 464 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,600 support for it, even in these tough financial times. 465 00:34:27,050 --> 00:34:31,549 Even as recently as March of 2011, NASA scientist 466 00:34:31,550 --> 00:34:36,150 Richard Hoover published evidence of life found in meteorites. 467 00:34:37,050 --> 00:34:39,749 Richard Hoover found really stunning 468 00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:45,050 images of microscopic organisms resembling modern organisms. 469 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:53,400 This was published in March of 2011 in the Journal of Cosmology, 470 00:34:53,800 --> 00:35:00,200 and it's caused the biggest rumpus in science that I recall in my entire career. 471 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,550 High officials of NASA were livid, because here was this guy 472 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,149 at Marshall Space Flight Center trying to overturn a paradigm. 473 00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:12,749 If alien bacteria has entered the Earth's 474 00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:15,799 atmosphere, could it have been sent here deliberately? 475 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,499 Well, the answer is yes. 476 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,699 If they were trying to invade a planet, they would do it by 477 00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:25,449 putting their own bacteria on pieces of rock and making sure 478 00:35:25,450 --> 00:35:29,449 that landed on planet Earth, and in so doing, create a series of 479 00:35:29,450 --> 00:35:33,150 violent epidemics that would wipe out the planet's population. 480 00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:42,400 Kerala, India, 2001. 481 00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:48,799 A cosmic bang--- a massive explosion in 482 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,699 the atmosphere, and then--- 483 00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:56,899 a downpour of red rain. 484 00:35:56,900 --> 00:36:01,199 It is eerily reminiscent of ancient myths and stories about 485 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,649 blood coming down from the sky. 486 00:36:04,650 --> 00:36:08,649 Homer writes in The Iliad about a blood rain foreshadowing 487 00:36:08,650 --> 00:36:10,149 slaughter in battle. 488 00:36:11,250 --> 00:36:15,199 Gregory of Tours witnessed a blood rain before the outbreak 489 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,100 of the Justinian Plague. 490 00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:23,550 And in 14th century Germany, a shower of blood reportedly 491 00:36:23,551 --> 00:36:25,099 preceded the Black Death. 492 00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:31,099 It is like the human world seeing the effect of the immortal world 493 00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:34,899 The gods are so affected by our lives that they are willing to 494 00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,200 change the laws of the physical world so that something we 495 00:36:38,201 --> 00:36:41,600 experience as rain, in fact, comes down as blood. 496 00:36:44,050 --> 00:36:48,599 After the incident in Kerala, biologist Dr. Godfrey 497 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,400 Louis is able to collect samples of the strange red liquid. 498 00:36:53,450 --> 00:36:55,850 He collected the rain as clean as possible, 499 00:36:55,950 --> 00:36:58,099 and it was discovered that they 500 00:36:58,100 --> 00:37:02,350 contained cells that looked like living cells. 501 00:37:03,350 --> 00:37:07,050 So it's some kind of organism. 502 00:37:07,150 --> 00:37:07,950 Now where's it come from? 503 00:37:07,951 --> 00:37:10,000 Does it come from space or does it come from Earth? 504 00:37:10,001 --> 00:37:11,350 This is the big question. 505 00:37:11,850 --> 00:37:15,099 Because, of course, the meteorite immediately puts it 506 00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:18,800 into the realms of mystery, space. 507 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,949 To date, there have been no verifiable reports of 508 00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:28,000 illness connected with the blood rain in Kerala--- 509 00:37:29,850 --> 00:37:33,249 but if meteors and other falling objects from space 510 00:37:33,250 --> 00:37:39,800 really do contain deadly bacteria, is it simply an accident--- 511 00:37:41,350 --> 00:37:45,099 or is it possible that what we think of as natural 512 00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:51,750 phenomena are really part of another, perhaps more insidious plan? 513 00:37:54,900 --> 00:38:01,150 In 2001, Mary Leitao, a former hospital lab technician in Boston 514 00:38:01,250 --> 00:38:04,499 discovers red, blue, black, and white 515 00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:08,450 fibers in sores under her two-year-old son's lip. 516 00:38:12,050 --> 00:38:15,799 Eight different doctors are unable to find any disease, 517 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,749 allergy, or anything unusual 518 00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:21,400 that might be causing her son's condition. 519 00:38:22,650 --> 00:38:25,750 Today this condition has a name-- 520 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,550 Morgellons disease-- 521 00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:31,349 And according to the Morgellons Research Foundation, 522 00:38:31,350 --> 00:38:38,800 it has affected more than 12,000 families from all 50 states and 15 other countries. 523 00:38:40,650 --> 00:38:44,449 No one knows what Morgellons is, it appears to be 524 00:38:44,450 --> 00:38:48,549 a brand new arrival in the medical scene. To have Morgellons disease, 525 00:38:48,550 --> 00:38:51,650 is to live a waking nightmare without end. 526 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,600 To the best of my knowledge, there have been no cures to Morgellons. 527 00:38:55,601 --> 00:38:58,550 And partly I think it's because we don't know what the cause is. 528 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,149 A physician who's trying to treat a patient with Morgellons 529 00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:04,550 is pretty much just shooting in the dark. 530 00:39:05,350 --> 00:39:10,199 Sufferers of the mysterious disease complain of 531 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,500 neurological problems similar to multiple sclerosis 532 00:39:15,550 --> 00:39:20,100 and massive oozing skin rashes that seem to have a life of their own. 533 00:39:20,350 --> 00:39:23,449 The overt dermatological symptoms would be 534 00:39:23,450 --> 00:39:29,449 open sores on the skin-- usually round, volcanic almost looking in nature. 535 00:39:29,950 --> 00:39:32,049 Most people with Morgellons have crawling 536 00:39:32,050 --> 00:39:33,949 sensations in their skin. 537 00:39:33,950 --> 00:39:36,650 Sometimes they describe it as almost as though something is 538 00:39:36,651 --> 00:39:39,700 inside there, biting or stinging. 539 00:39:42,350 --> 00:39:45,700 Inside the lesions, sufferers have discovered 540 00:39:45,701 --> 00:39:50,250 colored fibers, like those found on Mary Leitao's son. 541 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,950 You wouldn't believe how many dermatologists have 542 00:39:52,951 --> 00:39:54,950 gotten phone calls and e-mails from, saying, "Sorry, humans 543 00:39:54,951 --> 00:39:56,499 don't grow red and blue fibers." 544 00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,499 Well, as a physiologist, I'm quite aware of that fact, but it 545 00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:03,649 doesn't change the fact that these fibers are present, and 546 00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:06,300 this mystery is, well, where are the fibers coming from? 547 00:40:06,301 --> 00:40:10,449 Is there a microorganism that is producing these fibers? 548 00:40:11,250 --> 00:40:13,799 We have absolutely no idea. 549 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,599 The university forwarded a number of samples to 550 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,399 the Tulsa Crime Lab, who ran them through their database, the 551 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,100 FBI database, were unable to find any match. 552 00:40:30,550 --> 00:40:32,950 The earth is being bombarded by tons of debris from 553 00:40:32,951 --> 00:40:38,049 outer space every year, and so, is it possible that an organism 554 00:40:38,050 --> 00:40:40,700 that we wouldn't recognize came down with that debris, and 555 00:40:40,701 --> 00:40:42,849 that's the cause of Morgellons? 556 00:40:42,850 --> 00:40:46,099 Well, I just try and stay open-minded. 557 00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:48,450 We can't really say yes, we can't say no. 558 00:40:50,750 --> 00:40:53,700 But what is the cause of Morgellons disease? 559 00:40:54,350 --> 00:40:59,050 Is it simply an Earth-based mutation of a known virus? 560 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,800 Or does it have other, perhaps interplanetary origins? 561 00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:09,750 If we look at something that came from a distant planet 562 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,249 it's so different, that it could do anything from 563 00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:18,135 makes us better, makes us the same, or in the long run, create a new disease. 564 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:24,749 Or maybe it doesn't produce disease, because diseases don't just produce fever, 565 00:41:24,750 --> 00:41:29,599 headache, it may change our thought process, our reality, how we 566 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,350 move, how we think, how long we live, even our emotions. 567 00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:39,150 Living microbes in outer space. 568 00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:46,749 Bacteria capable of mutating and becoming more powerful in zero gravity. 569 00:41:47,550 --> 00:41:51,550 Comets carrying deadly, alien life-forms. 570 00:41:53,150 --> 00:41:58,099 Could humankind be at the mercy of extraterrestrial forces that 571 00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:00,600 are invisible to the naked eye? 572 00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:05,300 The best estimates that I've heard are the number of bacteria in the world 573 00:42:05,395 --> 00:42:11,595 is something in the range of 5 followed by 30 zeroes, it is a staggering number. 574 00:42:11,596 --> 00:42:14,596 We're discovering more and more all the time. 575 00:42:16,497 --> 00:42:19,197 The real question is this--- who is really leading the world? 576 00:42:19,198 --> 00:42:25,398 Us or the trillions and trillions of viruses that we walk upon, and may be 577 00:42:25,399 --> 00:42:28,699 playing a much more intimate part of our lives that we ever thought. 578 00:42:28,794 --> 00:42:32,994 Is it possible that we somehow are being prepared for something 579 00:42:33,095 --> 00:42:36,695 which is going to affect Earth as a global civilization. 580 00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:42,449 It's, somehow, is very important that we are strong enough so 581 00:42:42,450 --> 00:42:45,900 that we will be able to cope with something which might be 582 00:42:45,901 --> 00:42:47,350 coming our way? 583 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,750 The more you know all the details, 584 00:42:49,751 --> 00:42:52,950 the more frightening the thoughts are about what's coming next. 585 00:42:52,951 --> 00:42:56,199 The clock begins when the disease hits, and we don't know 586 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,800 how much time the clock is giving us. 587 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,700 That's the fear of the future. 588 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,149 For thousands of years, we have wondered if we 589 00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:10,949 are alone in the universe, but could alien life-forms have been 590 00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:14,299 among us all along? 591 00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:18,099 If countless strains of deadly bacteria are coming to Earth 592 00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:23,949 from other worlds, is this the proof we need that there is life 593 00:43:23,950 --> 00:43:27,049 on other planets? 594 00:43:27,050 --> 00:43:30,999 Could it be only by coincidence that these life-forms have made 595 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,550 contact with us in the form of plagues and epidemics, 596 00:43:36,750 --> 00:43:43,149 or is there another, perhaps alien, intelligence at work-- 597 00:43:43,150 --> 00:43:46,450 an intelligence which seeks to reduce our numbers 598 00:43:47,650 --> 00:43:50,150 or maybe prepare us for something 599 00:43:51,451 --> 00:43:55,551 If so, what and when.
