NARRATOR: Megalithic structures
in the middle of the ocean.

HUGH NEWMAN: Legends state

that the stones were actually
flown from one part of the

island to another.

NARRATOR: Terrifying creatures...

TARCISIUS KABUTAULAKA:
There are stories about giants

killing people and
taking over things.

NARRATOR: And mysterious
events on the open sea.

WILLIAM HENRY: How can an
island just disappear?

NARRATOR: Are the stories
of lost civilizations and

unreachable paradises simply the
product of imaginative seafarers?

Or could there be remote
locations all over the world

that are secret bases
for extraterrestrials?

MIKE BARA: There have been
sightings on the Isle of Man,

going back centuries, of what are
described as "fiery wheels" in the sky.

RICHARD DOLAN: They're in
the middle of the ocean.

There's just nothing that's
supposed to be there, and yet

there's activity being reported there.

NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

And if so, might we find proof
by exploring the world's

forbidden islands?

NARRATOR: March 1963.
75 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico.

While training in anti-submarine

maneuvers, the United States
Navy's fleet... led by the USS

Wasp aircraft carrier... detects
an unknown sonar target moving

in the nearby waters.
For four days the fleet tracked

the unknown object, recording
its speed at more than 150

knots, or 170 miles per hour.

DOLAN: There is nothing in any
naval inventory anywhere in

the world that can approach
anything remotely that speed.

Not then, not now.

Moreover, the object descended to a
depth of something like 27,000 feet.

Again, another impossibility.

The pressures down there
are vastly too much.

They would crush any vessel
that went down that deep.

BARA: At that time, the
technology that we had, the best

that we could do underwater was
about 45 knots at a maximum

depth of about 3,000 feet.

ANDREW COLLINS: For the last
hundred, 200 years, there have

been many, many accounts of objects
that have been seen underwater.

But exactly what they are
we still do not know.

NICK REDFERN: There's been
a tremendous surge of UFO

sightings in Puerto Rico
since the early 1990s.

And for many of the Puerto Rican
witnesses, they're absolutely

convinced that there's some
sort of massive futuristic

installation deep below Puerto
Rico, under the ocean bed.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
aliens have bases here on Earth,

hidden deep underwater and
off the coasts of islands?

Could this explain why so many
islands around the world have

stories of unexplained sightings
of objects both overhead and

TIM SWARTZ: Isolated island would
be a perfect location for,

say, extraterrestrial beings to
make their base of operations.

Radar could spot any kind of
craft in orbit very quickly.

However, if you had your base
underwater, near an island...

a lot more difficult to be discovered.

BARA: Islands are essentially
mountains that are mostly

underwater.
What they are, in essence, is

energetic upwellings of the
energy of the earth, pushing

higher and higher and higher.
Logically, these types of

locations would be very
attractive to visitors from

another world, especially
visitors that would be looking

for an ideal place to set up a
base, or a landing spot, or

simply a place where they could
draw some of the earth's energy.

NARRATOR: The Aleutian Islands.

Just off the Alaskan coast, this
chain of more than 100 small

islands extends west for 1,100
miles, separating the Bering Sea

from the Pacific Ocean.
Here, in the summer of 1945, 14

crew members of the United
States army transport Delarof

reported seeing what they
believed to be a large UFO

emerge from the waters
near the island of Adak.

COLLINS: It is reported that
a round object that appeared

dark, um, against the setting
sun at the time, actually rose

up vertically into the air and
then circled the boat two, or

possibly three, times.
And was visible for about seven

or eight minutes before it vanished.

DOLAN: Something that comes
out of the water, circles around

and then takes off like that,
uh, that's well beyond anything

we're supposed to have.
And they're in the middle of the ocean.

That's the important thing
to remember here.

There's just nothing, nothing
that's supposed to be there,

and yet there's activity
being reported there.

NARRATOR: UFO sightings around the
Aleutian Islands continue to this day.

But why?
Is it perhaps more than mere

coincidence that the native
people known as the Aleuts

believe this is the exact spot
where their ancestors first

JONATHAN YOUNG: The Aleuts
believe they descended from a

creature that had come from the sky.

A dog, actually, had fallen to
the island of Umnak and had

had two pups with paws.

But the children that came from
those two were perfect humans.

So by way of this descent from
the heavens and by way of animal

form, we get the Aleutian people.

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: I find it
intriguing that the Aleut's

origin story has something to do
with them having arrived from

the sky, essentially saying
that they have been seeded.

So the fact that, to this day,
that area of the world is

considered a hot spot for
UFO's is not coincidence.

BARA: There have been rumors
that there is an underground

alien or UFO base in the
Aleutian Islands.

The question is: could a
base really exist there?

And the answer is yeah.
There's plenty of places...

knolls, atolls, volcanoes...
where, if hollowed out, they

would pretty much make ideal
bases for UFOs to use to come

and go as they please, and
to investigate that area.

NARRATOR: Could there really
be a connection between the high

number of UFO sightings and
the Aleuts' origin story?

Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes, and as evidence, they point

to the fact that similar legends
exist on other remote islands...

islands that have also
had reports of UFOs.

5,000 miles to the east of the
Aleutian Islands, nestled in the

Irish Sea, lies the Isle of Man.
According to legend, the Isle of

Man was founded by a mystical
race of Celts, the Tuatha Dé

Danann, who possessed magical powers.

Banished from heaven for their
sorcery and advanced knowledge,

they descended on Ireland
in a cloud of mist.

COLLINS: It's said that at
the end of their time, they just

sort of vanished.
Left behind their ghosts, quite

literally, and these are
remembered in the folklore of

the Isle of Man as
the "Little People."

NARRATOR: The so-called
"Little People" are believed by

the locals to be able to put
humans under a magical spell...

a spell in which all awareness
of space and time is lost.

RONALD HUTTON: Kidnapping
human beings is one of the

chief activities of the Little People.

And the whole point of these
stories is that the humans tend

to come back from the other
realm, often finding that

hundreds of years have passed.

BARA: And this sounds really,
really similar to what people

experience sometimes during
alien abduction events...

where a ship will show up, the
very small aliens will come out.

They'll find themselves
paralyzed, they'll have missing

time experiences.
And there's reason to believe

that the Little People may have,
in fact, been extraterrestrials;

the same "greys," as we
describe them, that perform the

same types of magical
enchantment on people that

they abduct today.

NARRATOR: Could the legends
of the Little People and the

ancestral Tuatha de Danann
actually be describing

otherworldly beings that came
to Earth in the distant past?

And if so, might these legends
be connected to modern-day UFO

sightings over the Isle of Man?

Locals claim that these UFO
sightings have been reported for

centuries...
and for ancient astronaut

theorists, the most
compelling sighting of all is a

2,500-year-old report of a fiery
wheel with three spokes

descending from the heavens.

HENRY: According to legend on
the Isle of Man, some fishermen

were washed ashore
during a terrible storm.

Suddenly this three-spoked craft came
out of the clouds terrifying them.

BARA: There have been
sightings on the Isle of Man

going back centuries of what
are described as wheels or

"fiery wheels" in the sky.
Now, these descriptions are

almost identical to the
description of the wheel of

Ezekiel in the Bible.

NARRATOR: According to Ezekiel, chapter
one, the prophet saw a flying object

described as four wheels within
a wheel, an account that

ancient astronaut theorists say
is not of an angel, but of an

JASON MARTELL: Biblical
scholars have very much

struggled with the description
of Ezekiel's wheel, seeing

wheels within wheels, the idea that a
cherub was standing next to each wheel.

It's very clear that he's
describing some type of device.

TSOUKALOS: Ezekiel describes
wheels within a wheel,

and eyes of different animals,
and they're all gleaming like

bronze and metal.
So what is really

It reads much more like an
encounter with some type of an

extraterrestrial craft that was
misinterpreted as some type of

a divine event.

DAVID CHILDRESS: So you
have to think really that Isle

of Man was some kind of island
that was chosen by the

extraterrestrials.
This was one of their bases.

They would land their UFOs there.

And in fact, legends about UFO's
and extraterrestrials continue

on the island even to this day.

NARRATOR: Could these islands
actually contain alien base

camps, as ancient astronaut
theorists contend?

And might these powerful
locations reveal important

knowledge for mankind?
Perhaps clues can be found in

another mysterious Pacific
island chain 9,200 miles to the

southeast, an area rumored to
be inhabited by giants.

NARRATOR: The Solomon Islands.

800 miles east of Papua
New Guinea, this group of nearly

1,000 isles covers
11,000-square miles.

Though first discovered in 1568
by Spanish explorers, many

people identify this area with
World War II due to the fierce

fighting that occurred between
the Japanese and Americans on

the largest island here,
Guadalcanal.

In a campaign that lasted over
six months, a total of 41

warships were sunk and over
30,000 men died either in battle

TARCISIUS KABUTAULAKA: The
Americans and Japanese,

they left behind a lot of
the remnants of the war.

Ships that were sunk,
for instance.

And then on land you have
leftovers of tanks and a lot of

ammunitions as well.
There was a place close to where

I went to school called Hell's Point
and it's full of live ammunitions.

NARRATOR: But Guadalcanal is
also infamous for something else:

the countless local
legends of giants.

KABUTAULAKA: There are mysterious
legends all over the Solomons, actually.

A lot of the stories from
Guadalcanal tend to talk

about giants; the relationship
between people and giants.

Giants are often portrayed
in different ways.

Sometimes they are
benevolent giants;

they help people;
they look after people.

But there are stories about
giants killing people and taking

over things.
So giant is a major character in

a lot of the Guadalcanal stories.

NEWMAN: There are legends and
stories that go way back

that suggest that giants actually
still live on the Solomon Islands.

Some say they're kind of hairy
beast, Sasquatch-like kind

of beings.
Others say they're more

humanoid.
Some say they even relate

and kind of mate with the
human population.

TSOUKALOS: According to local
legends, those giants were able

to travel the entire length of
the island without seeing the

light of day by utilizing
subterranean tunnels.

KABUTAULAKA: People talk
about it that giants

actually do exist.
They existed in the past.

Today, with all kinds of
developments taking place,

they shifted further into
the mountains.

They really do exist.
It's not just a mythology

to scare children.

NARRATOR: According to one
report, in 1998, workers during

a gold-mining operation
witnessed what they believe is

proof of the existence of the
giants of Guadalcanal when one

of their bulldozers broke down.
The workers say they removed the

ten-ton blade from the machine
to make overnight repairs, and

when they returned to the dig
site the next morning, they were

CHILDRESS: The blade itself had
been moved quite a distance,

and they found footprints
of giants in the mud.

So they could only assume
that these famous giants

of the Solomon Islands had been
there and moved the bulldozer blade.

NARRATOR: Could Guadalcanal
really be home to giants?

If so, what are they?

And where did they come from?
In the book Solomon Islands

Mysteries, author Marius
Boirayon, a retired helicopter

engineer who lived on the
Solomon Islands for many years

interviewing locals, unveils
a groundbreaking theory.

CHILDRESS: The Australian
author Boirayon believed that

incidents of the giants that
he'd been told about by the

natives were related to UFO
activity.

And from what he could put
together, there was some kind of

UFO base deep in the mountains
of central Guadalcanal and it

involved these giants.
And at the same time, there was

some kind of underwater UFO base
there, as well.

NARRATOR: Eyewitness accounts
of UFOs have been documented on

the Solomon Islands for years,
and mysteriously, details reveal

that the UFOs seem to rise out
of the surrounding ocean where

warships sank in World War II
and vanish into a remote

mountain lake on the island.
>>

KABUTAULAKA: People often
talk about seeing light

not only in the sky, but
in the ocean as well.

That you see lights in the ocean

and then you see lights flying
past, uh, overhead, as well.

And sometimes crashing
into the ocean...

BARA: There have been
sightings of flying saucers

appearing over the wreckage,
flying into and out of mountains

and volcanoes in the area.

So, the whole area is
really pretty interesting.

COLLINS: There have been
reports that objects, strange

lights, actually rise up out of
the waters into the air, and

move about for a period of
time, and then disappear.

And often this is either
witnessed from the beach, or is

experienced at close hand by
fishermen, and it is said that

sometimes these objects come so
close that the fisherman can

actually feel the heat as they pass.

DOLAN: There was a lot of local
people who had said, "Yes.

For many years we've seen these
"types of things happening."

SWARTZ: There are numerous
accounts of abductions, people

who disappear after coming into contact
with these UFOs, never to be seen again.

NARRATOR: Could there be a
connection between the legends

of the giants of Guadalcanal
and the numerous UFO sightings

that have been reported here
over the years?

And might this be evidence that
Guadalcanal really is the site

of an underwater alien base?
Some ancient astronaut theorists

believe the answers can be found
by examining stories of other

strange creatures said to
inhabit the island... creatures

like the Adaro.

YOUNG: The Adaro are
frightening-looking creatures:

half fish, half man.

They were said to have come from
the sun by way of rainbows, and

they could be dangerous.

They could shoot poisonous
flying fish at you.

So the notion of some creature
that was of danger and

mythological qualities coming
from far away seems alive and

well in the Solomon Islands.

KABUTAULAKA: Chua-Chua is
the story that a lot of people

on Guadalcanal know about, that
these are actually human beings.

But at certain time they take
different forms.

YOUNG: These are energies
that can shape shift into any form.

These are not just stories
for entertainment

or for scaring the children.

These fears are great.

CHILDRESS: You have to wonder

if these famous giants of the
Solomon Islands and these weird

beings were, in fact,
extraterrestrials that were

there to protect
these secret bases.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the stories of giants, sea

monsters, and other strange
beings on Guadalcanal are really

accounts of extraterrestrials
who appear as frightening

creatures in order to scare off
anyone who might discover their

secret alien bases?

DOLAN: The Solomon Islands is
right on what we call the Ring of Fire.

A lot of volcanic activity.

A lot of tectonic and geo activity.

So there's a lot of energy there.

One theory would simply be that
if these other beings, whatever

they are, wanted access to a
good source of energy, that

might be a very good place to go.

NARRATOR: Could the stories
from the Aleutian Islands, the

Isle of Man, and the Solomon
Islands be evidence that there

are alien bases located
beneath our seas?

Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes, and point to an island on

the other side of the world that
has archaeologists mystified

even to this day.

NARRATOR: The Island of Pohnpei.
More than 2,500 miles southwest

of Hawaii, completely isolated
in the Pacific Ocean, this

Micronesian landmass is home to
just 34,000 people, mainly

farmers and fishermen.
But there is one area of the

island that is completely
uninhabited: the Lost City of

Nan Madol.
The native islanders believe

this ancient site is cursed, and
it is also home to some of the

most mysterious archaeological
ruins in the world.

Built on a coral reef just off
the eastern coast of Pohnpei and

sprawling more than 200 acres,
Nan Madol consists of 92 smaller

man-made islands connected by canals.

According to historians, this
ancient city, often called the

Venice of the Pacific, was the
capital of the Saudeleur dynasty

that ruled from about 500 to 1628 AD.

FELICIA BEARDSLEY: This
ancient city housed the

Saudeleurs, the kings of that time.

So it has their houses.

It has feasting areas.

It has tombs.

So there's a whole number of areas
that each of these islets supported.

NARRATOR: Most archaeologists

agree that construction of these
artificial islands began

sometime in the 13th century.
Each has been formed with

columnar basalt, a black rock
that forms when basaltic lava

from a volcano cools in the form
of columns.

BEARDSLEY: There are a number
of columnar basalt outflows

across Pohnpei itself.
And we know of several of these

outcrops that were used
to mine the basalt.

They were then transported to
the area of Nan Madol, and then

placed to create these small islets.

NARRATOR: But how did
native people living here 800

years ago manage to build 92 islets
out of giant basalt columns?

Researchers estimate that each

stone log used to construct the
megalithic structures weighs

between 5 to 50 tons.
Stacked to form walls as high as

25 feet tall and 17 feet thick,
archaeologists believe that it

was an undertaking that most
likely would have required all

25,000 island inhabitants to complete.

NEWMAN: Around the ruins of Nan
Madol are many canals, which

researchers and archeologists
say were the routes taken by

boats to move these basalt
columns across and around the

island to construct the
huge megalithic site.

NARRATOR: Mainstream scholars
insist people built Nan Madol

using ropes, rollers and rafts,
but attempts to prove this

theory have failed.

BEARDSLEY: If you add up all

of these stone logs, you have a
weight of 750,000 or so metric tons.

That's a lot.

If you were to move maybe 2,000
tons a year, you might be able

to get it built over about
three centuries.

We're talking about a major,
massive effort here.

The kind of effort that you
would see in the construction of

the pyramids in Egypt.

NARRATOR: But could there be
another explanation for how

these ancient people were able
to move such massive rocks miles

across the island and into place
in the ocean without the help of

modern machinery?
According to local legends, the

ancient builders used a much
more profound method of

construction: an advanced
anti-gravitational technology

that ancient astronaut theorists
believe may explain many of the

world's mysterious megalithic sites.

NEWMAN: Some legends state
that the stones were actually

flown from one part of the
island to another or levitated

some way to get them up to such
high areas of the main

OLSEN: This is very reminiscent
of what researchers

call "auditive levitation," which
was a technique of raising

heavy stones by matching the
sound frequency of matter,

rendering it weightless
and moving it into place.

TSOUKALOS: The people themselves
who still to this day

live there in Pohnpei say that
this place was not built by us;

it's been here before we arrived.

And they themselves say that
basalt blocks were moved

as if by ghost hand.
That is why the natives call Nan

Madol also the "City of Ghosts."

NARRATOR: Although no written
records on the island's history

exist, its spoken myths and
legends have survived through

generations.
According to the natives,

Nan Madol has been plagued
by a curse for centuries,

and anyone who explores the
ruins will perish.

CHILDRESS: The local islanders
believe that the city

of Nan Madol is cursed.

And they say they see lights moving
throughout the city at night.

And they believe that if they
spend the night there,

they'll die.

NARRATOR: When the Europeans
came to colonize Micronesia in

the early 20th century, they
were advised of Nan Madol and

its alleged spell.
In April of 1907, the German

Governor Victor Berg disregarded
these warnings and not only

explored the island ruins, but
even opened a tomb of the

ancient rulers.

Locals say Governor Berg was
haunted by strange sounds that

night, and the next morning
mysteriously died.

HENRY: The local legend said
that if you messed with this

site in any way, it was cursed,
and in fact, there would be a

terrible price to pay for it.

And it appears that Victor Berg lost
his life because of this curse.

NARRATOR: Official records indicate
the governor died April 30, 1907

due to sunstroke and heat exhaustion
while surveying the ruins.

But the natives maintain that

his untimely death was a result
of the curse...

and proof that otherworldly
powers guard the mystical

island city.
Might the local legends of

supernatural forces at work on
the islands actually be true?

And if so, just who or what is
haunting these mysterious

islands?
Ancient astronaut theorists

claim the strongest evidence
that an advanced race of

extraterrestrials helped to
build Nan Madol is not the

megalithic rock structures...
but what may lie beneath them.

CHILDRESS: Nan Madol is a
huge city and most of it is

above water, but parts of it
are underwater.

And the islanders say that there
is a second city there called

Kanemweiso.
This is the city of the gods.

And it's in even deeper water.
You have to wonder if there

isn't some kind of underwater
UFO base even today.

NARRATOR: If the local
legends are true, could Nan

Madol really be the remnants of
an ancient alien base?

One that exists not only above
ground, but also extends down

into the sea?
And might this explain why the

natives of Pohnpei have left
this part of the island

uninhabited for nearly
400 years?

There are those who believe the
answers can be found by

examining islands that have
suddenly and mysteriously...

vanished.

NARRATOR: The Pacific Ocean,
October, 2012.

Scientists aboard a research
ship between Australia and New

Caledonia set a course for 19
degrees south latitude and 160

degrees east longitude:
the location of Sandy Island.

But when they arrive, they make
a shocking discovery:

the island is not there.

Digital scientific databases
have shown Sandy Island to be 15

miles long and three miles wide,
approximately the size

of Manhattan.
Small islands sometimes

disappear due to rising ocean
levels, but the researchers find

no evidence of a sunken landmass,
just ocean waters 4600 feet deep.

HENRY: Sandy Island is a
island of great mystery.

It literally disappeared.

According to early eyewitness
accounts, including those by

Captain Cook in the 1700s,
this island clearly existed.

And it makes you wonder, how can
an island just disappear?

Was it there to begin with?
Absolutely it was.

There's eyewitness accounts of it.

NARRATOR: Captain James Cook
was the first to establish Sandy

Island on a map back in 1774.
And, in fact, the island still

appeared even on modern
satellite maps up until 2013

when it was finally removed
based on the findings of the

University of Sydney.
But how could an island that has

appeared on maps for over 230
years suddenly disappear?

COLLINS: There are a number of
accounts, um, within folklore

and legend of mythical islands.

For instance, the Antilles, and
others which appeared on

ancient maps, and yet,
which don't exist today.

So, did they once exist?
Do they exist only at

certain times?
We could be dealing with a

phenomena whereby these islands
disappear at certain times

and then reappear.
Although, is that something

that's natural?
Is this something to do with

geology or is this something to
do with something more

supernatural?
This is obviously a mystery

which remains to be solved.

NARRATOR: When the University
of Sydney findings were first

revealed, many scientists
insisted that the researchers

must have been looking in the
wrong place, pointing to the

fact that satellites had
recorded temperatures in this

location consistent with the
presence of land.

Scientists would later claim
that this anomaly was due to

errors in the data sets.
But how could the temperature

data, the satellite images, and
numerous other maps dating back

to the 18th century all be in error?

BARA: It's possible that these
islands actually do exist,

but they're somehow being cloaked by
whoever might be using the islands.

For instance, extraterrestrial
visitors could very easily

create a light-bending type of
device, which could make it

appear that an island that was
once there is no longer there.

CHILDRESS: There are other
stories of islands that appear

and disappear, and that sometimes
there's a mist around them.

There are stories like this
around the Samoan Islands.

So you have to wonder if
extraterrestrials have some kind

of super technology that allows
them to cloak islands and make

them appear and disappear.
It boggles the mind that such a

technology would exist, and
yet it appears to be so.

NARRATOR: Could
extraterrestrials really be

using advanced cloaking
technology to hide Sandy Island?

Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe there may be an even

more incredible explanation
behind the disappearance

MARTELL: Things like Sandy
Island, that somehow was

located, and then when they went
to go look for it, is gone.

It's very possible that these
aren't islands, but are some

technological device
coming up to the surface.

Or landing for a little
while and going away.

TSOUKALOS: In ancient Greek
mythology we have these stories

of the Asteria; of the falling stars
that would fall into the water...

but they wouldn't sink.

They could, in fact, travel
from place to place.

Floating islands, so to speak.
So what if, in this particular

case, we have a similar story?
Is that really what is

happening?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
these phantom islands that

appear and disappear are really
elaborate alien outposts?

And could the extraterrestrials
that use them still be here on

Earth, waiting to be discovered?
Ancient astronaut theorists say

yes, and suggest that further
evidence can be found by

examining another island that
mysteriously disappeared...

an island that was said to be
home to otherworldly beings.

NARRATOR: The North Atlantic Ocean.

200 miles west of Ireland lie
open waters expanding as far as

the eye can see.
But according to 14th-century

Mediterranean mapmakers, this
exact spot marks the location of

an island known as Hy-Brasil.
For more than 600 years, sailors

across the world have searched
for this so-called phantom

island belied to contain an
Eden-like paradise.

YOUNG: Lore has it that the
island couldn't be seen except

once every seven years, when it
could be seen but not reached.

SABINA MAGLIOCCO: Hy-Brasil
allegedly appeared and

disappeared behind the mists.

It could never definitively be found.

Although, it's putative location is
marked on some of these early maps.

NARRATOR: Hy-Brasil was first
mapped by the Italian-Majorcan

cartographer Angelino de Dalorto
in 1325, who described the

island as being "a strikingly
round form."

Over a century later in 1497,
Italian explorer John Cabot also

reported reaching Hy-Brasil.
And in 1674, Captain John Nisbet

of Ireland reportedly brought
back silver and gold from the

island that he claimed to have
received from an old, mysterious man.

Strangely, he and his men

also said that Hy-Brasil was
inhabited by what they called

"giant black rabbits."
Other explorers of the time

returned from the island with
similarly bizarre stories

and accounts of beautiful
glowing people.

YOUNG: Hy-Brasil is imagined
in Irish lore to be the place

that the Irish gods came from.
On the island of Hy-Brasil,

the gods had a luxurious life.
They were able to develop an

advanced civilization.

NARRATOR: In 1684, one
of the first Irish historians,

Roderick O'Flaherty, wrote about

Hy-Brasil in his book,
A Chorographical Description of

West Or H-Iar Connacht.
In it, he refers to the island

as "enchanted" and writes that
it is a "land kept hidden by the

special ordinates of God.

SWARTZ: Like a lot of other
mythologies, such as Atlantis,

Hy-Brasil was thought to be
the source of civilization.

Especially in Ireland and
England and other areas

such as that.
It's thought that Hy-Brasil

still exists under the sea, and
that periodically, when the

conditions are right, it'll surface.

NARRATOR: According to
legend, the mysterious land was

last seen in 1872 by author
T.J. Westropp and his crew,

who saw the island appear...
and then vanish.

SWARTZ: If Hy-Brasil is an
actual land, very possibly it

could be that at one time on
planet Earth there was a

superior technology;
a civilization that had progress

that far surpassed
even our own today.

And these people originated
from the stars.

They are the people that the
human race descended from.

And locations such as Hy-Brasil is
the homeland of these creatures.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the mythical island of Hy-Brasil

not only exists, but is actually
a high-tech alien base?

And if so, might there be others
located all over the world?

HENRY: You find so many
accounts of beings coming and

going from the stars
at these locations.

You find mysterious disappearances.

You find other supernatural events
taking place at these islands.

And it makes you wonder if
they're in fact being used by

advanced extraterrestrial races
as portals, as gateways, even as

stopover places, maybe even
refueling stations in a way, as

places that are known throughout
the cosmos.

NARRATOR: Might aliens have
been visiting these remote,

relatively uninhabited locations
for thousands of years...

using them as secret hideouts...

landing spots,

or energetic refueling stations?

Could there be extraterrestrial
bases on hidden islands

even now?

And when the truth behind these
forbidden islands is revealed,

will we finally come face-to-face with

our celestial ancestors?
