1
00:00:01,501 --> 00:00:03,546
Cowboys with revolvers,

2
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:10,018
covered wagons crossing plains

3
00:00:10,253 --> 00:00:14,563
and Native Americans
with war colors and feathers.

4
00:00:14,598 --> 00:00:19,561
This is the image most people have
see the American Old West.

5
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:23,524
The Wild West as we know it
comes from Hollywood films.

6
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:28,695
That's a rather sanitized version
of what the West really was.

7
00:00:29,071 --> 00:00:32,157
Would recommend it even more
have been involved?

8
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:35,202
Much more.

9
00:00:36,044 --> 00:00:38,579
The last thing we need to do
think of the Old West

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,251
is a Billy the Kid who flies saucers
haunts the desert.

11
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:46,755
From cowboys, to lawyers, to doctors,
to housewives

12
00:00:46,797 --> 00:00:49,556
at the washtub, that one
took care of the sheep,

13
00:00:49,591 --> 00:00:52,344
many saw things in the sky
that they could not explain.

14
00:00:52,511 --> 00:00:55,243
This is a copy of a bar

15
00:00:55,278 --> 00:00:57,975
from one of the lightships.

16
00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:01,353
They were guarded
by the Star People.

17
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:04,857
Aliens are already here

18
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:07,150
tens of thousands of years, perhaps
millions of years.

19
00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:09,486
Then why not
in the American Southwest?

20
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:12,996
Millions of people in the
world believe that we

21
00:01:13,031 --> 00:01:17,160
in the past
aliens were visited.

22
00:01:17,195 --> 00:01:20,212
Would that be true?

23
00:01:20,247 --> 00:01:24,550
Do aliens have our
history partly determined?

24
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:29,532
And had the cowboys and locals
in the American Wild West

25
00:01:29,667 --> 00:01:33,080
contact with aliens

26
00:01:33,381 --> 00:01:36,681
from an area far away?

27
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:59,036
Ancient Aliens
Season 3 Episode 1

28
00:02:01,538 --> 00:02:05,042
Aliens and the Old West

29
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:09,338
Translated by **Heeltje**

30
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:18,639
Who is so crazy about other people's
blow up cows?

31
00:02:18,674 --> 00:02:20,063
You have to believe me.

32
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:22,733
I saw white light!
Bright light!

33
00:02:22,768 --> 00:02:25,360
So first all that light
and then you fell into the river

34
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:30,901
and when you came back, my
two best workers disappeared.

35
00:02:31,235 --> 00:02:34,077
There was no lightning this evening.

36
00:02:36,012 --> 00:02:40,697
In the 2011 movie
'Cowboys and Aliens'

37
00:02:40,898 --> 00:02:43,498
a man wakes up in the desert

38
00:02:43,532 --> 00:02:46,095
who can't remember anything

39
00:02:46,196 --> 00:02:50,296
and a metal bracelet
wears on his wrist.

40
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:57,740
This bracelet may not work
only reveal his identity,

41
00:02:57,775 --> 00:03:01,350
but maybe he can do this too
protect the city of Absolution

42
00:03:01,551 --> 00:03:02,751
against a deadly attack

43
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:06,395
by alien spaceships.

44
00:03:12,109 --> 00:03:15,842
Based on the graphic novel
by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg

45
00:03:15,877 --> 00:03:19,575
and directed by John Favreau,

46
00:03:23,076 --> 00:03:25,076
makes Cowboys and Aliens

47
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:30,098
into a professional compilation of
a classic Hollywood Western

48
00:03:30,133 --> 00:03:32,039
with the futuristic effects

49
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:34,640
of a movie about
an alien invasion.

50
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:41,763
Although Cowboys and Aliens is spawned
from the imagination of the makers,

51
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:44,016
others believe the story

52
00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:47,769
is based on true facts.

53
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:55,777
Aurora, TX.

54
00:03:57,988 --> 00:04:03,535
This provincial town is no bigger than
about five square kilometers.

55
00:04:07,539 --> 00:04:10,048
Mark gravestones in the cemetery

56
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:15,714
the final resting place of
once hardworking farmers.

57
00:04:17,549 --> 00:04:22,804
But one grave is missing a gravestone.

58
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:29,228
The cemetery in Aurora has existed since 1861,

59
00:04:29,353 --> 00:04:31,396
right at the beginning of
the American Civil War.

60
00:04:31,522 --> 00:04:35,317
The Texas Historical Commission
has had a memorial plaque placed

61
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,737
which indicates that this
cemetery is known because of the legend

62
00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:43,951
about a crashed spaceship in 1897
of which the pilot died

63
00:04:43,986 --> 00:04:45,452
was buried here.

64
00:04:50,833 --> 00:04:54,419
Made 50 years earlier
the US military

65
00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:57,520
that there is a flying saucer
had crashed near Roswell, New Mexico.

66
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:02,511
There was a report that
a strange unknown object

67
00:05:02,928 --> 00:05:05,889
had crashed on the estate
from a local judge.

68
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:11,353
One morning in April 1897
there could be an airship

69
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:15,399
flew into a windmill

70
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,568
on Judge Proctor's estate.

71
00:05:18,569 --> 00:05:19,816
The ship exploded

72
00:05:21,517 --> 00:05:24,017
and went up in flames.

73
00:05:28,954 --> 00:05:30,163
There was an explosion.

74
00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:33,542
In those days, before
the television and the jet plane,

75
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:37,129
every loud noise attracted attention.

76
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:39,131
The ground shook violently and

77
00:05:39,214 --> 00:05:41,633
so they knew something had happened.

78
00:05:43,427 --> 00:05:46,597
A local journalist went
to the scene of the disaster

79
00:05:46,722 --> 00:05:49,766
and reported that there
lots of debris lay as well

80
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:53,103
the charred remains
of what he thought

81
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:55,480
an alien van
was another planet.

82
00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:59,610
The one indicated by witnesses
otherworldly occupier

83
00:05:59,651 --> 00:06:03,572
received a Christian funeral
and was laid in an unknown grave.

84
00:06:08,327 --> 00:06:11,788
In 1897, so six years before

85
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:14,458
the Wright brothers their

86
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:16,585
made its first flight.

87
00:06:16,627 --> 00:06:21,423
That's why I see the crashed thing
spaceship of Aurora

88
00:06:21,507 --> 00:06:25,177
as a UFO incident because it's been six years

89
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:28,722
took place before man could fly.

90
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:32,601
Witnesses claimed that
the remains of the accident

91
00:06:32,684 --> 00:06:36,772
were collected by the police
and were never seen again.

92
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:40,859
Others say so
Judge Proctor buried it

93
00:06:40,943 --> 00:06:42,486
at the bottom of a deep well.

94
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:46,573
The incident was forgotten for decades

95
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:52,794
until a man in 1945
named Brawley Oates,

96
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:56,666
now owns it
Proctor's estate, after he

97
00:06:56,701 --> 00:07:00,959
had cleaned the well,
a very serious form

98
00:07:00,994 --> 00:07:05,217
from arthritis,
according to himself

99
00:07:05,252 --> 00:07:07,976
by polluted water.

100
00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:12,147
He believed that the water of the spring

101
00:07:12,182 --> 00:07:15,853
contained a substance that caused him to have this serious condition

102
00:07:15,888 --> 00:07:16,985
contracted arthritis.

103
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:19,356
This arthritis eventually led

104
00:07:19,391 --> 00:07:20,447
until his death.

105
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:23,158
So now a lot of people are wondering
or the source perhaps

106
00:07:23,193 --> 00:07:26,196
was contaminated with radioactive materials
and that this was the reason

107
00:07:26,231 --> 00:07:29,199
why he got arthritis.

108
00:07:32,995 --> 00:07:36,039
We discovered that people who...
used the source, got sick.

109
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:38,375
So at some point, the

110
00:07:38,417 --> 00:07:43,005
descendants of these people
plug the source with cement.

111
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:52,055
The Roswell Incident of 1947
provided even more

112
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:53,974
disagreement about what happened
happened in Aurora.

113
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:58,562
This time it passed
the foreign body that

114
00:07:58,604 --> 00:08:01,690
still in an unknown grave
had to lie down.

115
00:08:02,274 --> 00:08:04,526
We wanted to have the body exhumed,

116
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:08,488
but the cemetery board did not allow this.

117
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:12,367
And I wonder 'why not?
What's the problem?'

118
00:08:12,409 --> 00:08:14,786
As a historian I become suspicious

119
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:16,712
if someone is hiding something from me.

120
00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:18,665
When someone tells you not to do something.

121
00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:23,712
In 1973 I met myself again
deal with the incident

122
00:08:23,747 --> 00:08:26,680
and was in Aurora before
the gravestone disappeared and I

123
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:30,427
I'm probably one of them
the few who still can

124
00:08:30,462 --> 00:08:33,180
remember where the grave was located.

125
00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:38,497
The grave was located here.

126
00:08:38,532 --> 00:08:41,695
It was a small grave.

127
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:45,317
Like a child's
or a very small person.

128
00:08:45,352 --> 00:08:50,447
And the little gravestone stood there.

129
00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:56,370
A few years ago, scientists

130
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:58,830
Ground penetrating radar determined that there was here

131
00:08:58,865 --> 00:09:01,131
was indeed a small grave.

132
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:05,087
In 1973 it was Bill Case
air traffic journalist

133
00:09:05,122 --> 00:09:06,428
at the Dallas Times Herald.

134
00:09:06,463 --> 00:09:08,966
I worked for the Star Telegram.

135
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:11,134
We've been here together.

136
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:14,972
He had a metal detector
who struck out three times

137
00:09:15,007 --> 00:09:16,438
above the grave.

138
00:09:16,473 --> 00:09:19,476
A few months after
the tombstone was gone,

139
00:09:19,511 --> 00:09:22,444
Bill asked me to come here again.

140
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:26,921
We examined the grave again,
but this time we found nothing.

141
00:09:26,956 --> 00:09:31,363
He showed me three small holes
who had been drilled into the grave.

142
00:09:31,655 --> 00:09:34,157
Someone had the metal
taken from the grave.

143
00:09:37,119 --> 00:09:39,453
In recent years, further research has been conducted

144
00:09:39,504 --> 00:09:43,082
from the scene of the accident
provided some evidence,

145
00:09:43,117 --> 00:09:45,801
such as excessive traces
of aluminum

146
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:50,007
at the bottom of the now
closed source in which

147
00:09:50,042 --> 00:09:54,245
Judge Proctor the wreckage
would have dumped.

148
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,814
Would what happened
at this Texas farm

149
00:09:58,849 --> 00:10:03,114
in the early hours of April 17, 1897,

150
00:10:04,015 --> 00:10:05,515
could really be proof

151
00:10:05,656 --> 00:10:07,774
of an alien encounter?

152
00:10:09,568 --> 00:10:12,196
Would this have been the first incident?

153
00:10:12,231 --> 00:10:14,281
in the American West?

154
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:17,868
Or was it one of many?

155
00:10:22,503 --> 00:10:24,599
Adams County, Ohio.

156
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:30,082
At the end of the 18th century
President George Washington

157
00:10:30,524 --> 00:10:35,350
pieces of land to the then unknown
side of the Appalachian Mountains,

158
00:10:35,385 --> 00:10:37,565
to war veterans

159
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:42,524
as payment for their services.

160
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,730
When the settlers arrived on their land,
they discovered that

161
00:10:46,765 --> 00:10:50,901
it was littered with
thousands of Indian burial mounds.

162
00:10:50,936 --> 00:10:55,579
One of them was very different from the rest.

163
00:10:55,614 --> 00:10:58,367
Imagine going to it
west pulls and you suddenly

164
00:10:58,408 --> 00:11:01,370
on a gigantic burial mound
in the shape of a snake.

165
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:07,000
You see a gigantic structure
just in the middle

166
00:11:07,042 --> 00:11:08,919
in the beautiful landscape.

167
00:11:08,961 --> 00:11:12,596
The Serpent Tomb was one of them
the mysterious burial mounds that form the

168
00:11:12,631 --> 00:11:16,009
first settlers found when they
the mountains had been crossed.

169
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:19,555
There are thousands of burial mounds, but...
the Serpent Tomb must have been special.

170
00:11:23,851 --> 00:11:26,780
Like the Nazca lines in Peru,

171
00:11:27,081 --> 00:11:31,481
the serpent tomb is huge
prehistoric building,

172
00:11:32,015 --> 00:11:34,564
probably intended to

173
00:11:34,865 --> 00:11:38,065
only from the air
to be able to see.

174
00:11:38,073 --> 00:11:41,076
The Serpent burial mound in Ohio

175
00:11:41,111 --> 00:11:43,752
is enormous.

176
00:11:43,787 --> 00:11:47,749
If you stand for it
it doesn't seem special.

177
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:52,296
This is meant to be seen from the air.

178
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,303
The mystery lies in the fact
that it lies on an elevated plateau,

179
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:01,805
so it doesn't stand out.

180
00:12:03,098 --> 00:12:05,684
Unless you fly over it

181
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:08,527
and the landscape is rolling.

182
00:12:08,562 --> 00:12:13,048
To be able to make something like this,
you would have to go on it from above

183
00:12:13,183 --> 00:12:14,867
can look down to do it right,

184
00:12:15,002 --> 00:12:16,821
and so that is a mystery.

185
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:24,953
The 400 meter long structure
swings over the ground and poses

186
00:12:24,988 --> 00:12:30,632
a writhing snake for
who appears to be eating an egg.

187
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:35,401
It is the largest effigy burial mound
in the world and even more remarkable,

188
00:12:35,436 --> 00:12:40,135
unlike the other American ones
burial mounds, became the Serpent Tomb

189
00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:42,947
not built for funerals.

190
00:12:42,982 --> 00:12:45,724
No one was buried in it.

191
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:51,563
It is one of those mysterious burial mounds
that we don't know who built it,

192
00:12:51,598 --> 00:12:56,693
but nearby there were burial mounds that

193
00:12:56,728 --> 00:13:01,657
were almost 3,000 years old.

194
00:13:01,698 --> 00:13:05,035
That is also remarkable
the Serpent Tomb

195
00:13:05,077 --> 00:13:09,254
precisely in that place by indigenous people
Americans built:

196
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:14,711
on the outer ring of
a 10 kilometer large meteor crater.

197
00:13:14,746 --> 00:13:17,095
300 Million years ago
a meteor hit here

198
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:22,193
into Earth at a speed
of 90,000 kilometers per hour.

199
00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:25,939
The Serpent Hill is located
right on the edge of the crater.

200
00:13:26,074 --> 00:13:28,501
Magnetic anomalies and
imperfections

201
00:13:29,036 --> 00:13:31,693
walk over the hill
and the Native Americans

202
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:35,867
could sense them and the positive ones
feeling energy coming from the ground.

203
00:13:37,102 --> 00:13:40,529
A compass on Serpent Hill

204
00:13:40,571 --> 00:13:44,324
stays in certain places
just spinning around.

205
00:13:44,366 --> 00:13:47,870
So apparently there are strange ones
magnetic spots

206
00:13:47,905 --> 00:13:50,212
and even too
gravity anomalies.

207
00:13:50,247 --> 00:13:53,940
According to myth, the native saw
Americans when they arrived here,

208
00:13:54,075 --> 00:13:58,070
birds flying up
passenger or homing pigeons

209
00:13:58,105 --> 00:13:59,888
and circled by the millions.

210
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:04,060
The pigeon has in its skull
a little hematite

211
00:14:04,195 --> 00:14:06,629
or magnetite with which they can navigate.

212
00:14:06,664 --> 00:14:09,064
But they didn't know where north was.

213
00:14:09,099 --> 00:14:13,605
Can you keep millions of birds within one
imagine a circle of 10 kilometers?

214
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,115
On top of causing it
of magnetic anomalies

215
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:23,654
the meteor also failed to bring in a number
elements common in this area,

216
00:14:23,689 --> 00:14:28,144
including
the very rare iridium.

217
00:14:28,779 --> 00:14:31,753
At the site of the serpent burial mound

218
00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:34,625
we find not only iron,
but also uranium

219
00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:36,049
and iridium.

220
00:14:36,084 --> 00:14:40,255
Iridium can reach temperatures
withstand up to 2000 °C.

221
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:42,598
It is resistant to corrosion.

222
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:45,719
It is also applied in
unmanned spacecraft.

223
00:14:45,754 --> 00:14:50,005
Most of the iridium is suspected
from space,

224
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:53,775
much more than in the Earth's crust
is found.

225
00:14:53,810 --> 00:14:58,148
Iridium is also used for thermal
electrical circuits used.

226
00:14:58,482 --> 00:15:01,902
These space probes

227
00:15:01,985 --> 00:15:05,996
have a radioactive source,
because only this one

228
00:15:06,031 --> 00:15:10,244
can provide sufficient propulsion
in deep space

229
00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:13,587
where there is no sunlight.

230
00:15:13,622 --> 00:15:18,050
Iron, iridium and uranium are three substances

231
00:15:18,185 --> 00:15:20,219
of which we know for sure

232
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:22,422
that these were not made by Native Americans
were used.

233
00:15:22,457 --> 00:15:25,891
So the question is: for whom?

234
00:15:25,926 --> 00:15:28,352
Ancient astronaut theorists believe

235
00:15:28,387 --> 00:15:32,578
that extraterrestrials on this one
place iridium mined

236
00:15:32,613 --> 00:15:36,777
for their spacecraft
and point out the many caves

237
00:15:36,812 --> 00:15:40,941
in the crater under the hill
as proof of this.

238
00:15:40,976 --> 00:15:43,986
This is one of those caves.

239
00:15:44,021 --> 00:15:45,744
He's quite big.

240
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:49,407
And since this location
is many millions of years old,

241
00:15:49,442 --> 00:15:53,036
there is a good chance that there is
there are many more caves.

242
00:15:54,163 --> 00:15:58,021
Like alien visitors here
actually came there

243
00:15:58,056 --> 00:16:01,844
for iridium and other elements,
could this be the reason?

244
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:06,769
why the serpent hill was built this way
was it visible from the air?

245
00:16:09,004 --> 00:16:12,598
The Serpent Hill is a beacon
for the universe

246
00:16:12,633 --> 00:16:14,898
according to the Shawnee Indians.

247
00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:19,981
They are convinced that space travelers
using the serpent hill as a beacon.

248
00:16:20,316 --> 00:16:24,116
According to Zuni Elder Clifford Mahooty

249
00:16:24,151 --> 00:16:27,988
the Shawnee aren't alone
native americans who believe

250
00:16:28,023 --> 00:16:30,532
that the serpent hill is a link
has with extraterrestrials.

251
00:16:31,950 --> 00:16:35,662
Ancestors of the Star People
the American Indians said

252
00:16:35,787 --> 00:16:37,254
where they came from

253
00:16:37,289 --> 00:16:41,418
and how to perform their rituals.

254
00:16:43,212 --> 00:16:47,526
The builders of the hill
were Indian tribes

255
00:16:48,068 --> 00:16:51,845
had contact with extraterrestrials.

256
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,978
This is the essence of our culture
and on the hills

257
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:05,025
we could implement it
and learn a lot from the creatures

258
00:17:05,234 --> 00:17:07,986
who came to our world.

259
00:17:11,073 --> 00:17:16,537
Astronaut theory supporters also mention
the location and shape of the serpent hill

260
00:17:16,572 --> 00:17:21,834
as a proof for
its extraterrestrial origin.

261
00:17:21,869 --> 00:17:26,463
The Serpent was aimed at a constellation

262
00:17:26,505 --> 00:17:32,135
that 5000 years ago
the night sky could be seen.

263
00:17:32,970 --> 00:17:38,809
The Pyramid of Cheops was also on one
line with the constellation Draconis.

264
00:17:38,844 --> 00:17:42,319
Next to the stars of Draconis

265
00:17:42,354 --> 00:17:46,356
are the twists and turns of
the Serpent Hill is also on a par with

266
00:17:46,591 --> 00:17:49,258
the summer and winter solstices

267
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:54,259
and with the lunar cycle
of 18.6 years.

268
00:17:55,193 --> 00:17:59,997
Would these be accurate setups
indicate that

269
00:18:00,032 --> 00:18:05,843
the Serpenthill was more
than just a beacon?

270
00:18:05,878 --> 00:18:10,007
Some believe that because
the magnetic radiations

271
00:18:10,042 --> 00:18:14,591
the location was also used
to collect energy.

272
00:18:14,626 --> 00:18:18,218
The magnetic irregularities
attract lightning.

273
00:18:18,253 --> 00:18:21,810
The Serpent Hill is located exactly
on the edge of a stratum

274
00:18:21,845 --> 00:18:25,946
of limestone or dolomite
of better quality

275
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:29,818
than the limestone with which the
pyramid of Cheops was built

276
00:18:29,853 --> 00:18:33,412
and is semiconducting.

277
00:18:33,447 --> 00:18:38,333
This is a stone from Serpent Hill.

278
00:18:38,368 --> 00:18:41,872
He's quite special because he
of a different kind of dolomite

279
00:18:41,907 --> 00:18:47,384
seems to have been made
that was normally used.

280
00:18:47,419 --> 00:18:50,881
This stone can be placed in the middle
of the oval have been used.

281
00:18:50,916 --> 00:18:54,308
That way you prevent
many wefts and becomings

282
00:18:54,343 --> 00:18:58,680
most wefts to
mainly led a place.

283
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:08,655
Can Serpent Hill be a
been a major source of energy?

284
00:19:08,690 --> 00:19:13,904
Did it contain an advanced one?
alien technology that was lost?

285
00:19:13,939 --> 00:19:18,033
When I look at how old monuments
were built

286
00:19:18,075 --> 00:19:21,954
such as Stonehenge, the Sphinx,
the pyramids, the Mayan temples,

287
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:27,000
we are despite our contemporary
advanced technology,

288
00:19:27,042 --> 00:19:30,212
lost knowledge of something huge

289
00:19:30,247 --> 00:19:33,423
from thousands of years ago.

290
00:19:33,465 --> 00:19:37,726
It's a tragedy that we're not alone
I don't know how to do this anymore

291
00:19:37,761 --> 00:19:43,684
have to apply, but even this one
relegated to folklore and mythology.

292
00:19:43,719 --> 00:19:47,736
When the lightning lamps were turned off,

293
00:19:47,771 --> 00:19:52,108
the indigenous people reverted to
the darkness, about 5000 years ago.

294
00:19:52,143 --> 00:19:56,446
But we know that as the predictions
are correct, the Serpent Hill

295
00:19:56,481 --> 00:19:58,907
will one day be reactivated again.

296
00:19:58,942 --> 00:20:03,012
And when that happens, that will be the beginning

297
00:20:03,047 --> 00:20:07,047
of the recovery of the Earth.

298
00:20:07,082 --> 00:20:12,337
The Serpent Hill was really a focal point

299
00:20:12,372 --> 00:20:14,388
of alien visits?

300
00:20:14,423 --> 00:20:18,510
If so, then there it is
truth in the legends about

301
00:20:18,545 --> 00:20:22,598
other, even more capricious,
alien encounters

302
00:20:22,633 --> 00:20:24,975
in the American West?

303
00:20:34,236 --> 00:20:39,955
Palmyra, New York,
September 21, 1823.

304
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:45,494
Upstairs in his bedroom in a log cabin
just outside a rural village

305
00:20:45,529 --> 00:20:49,458
17 year old Joseph Smith had a vision

306
00:20:49,833 --> 00:20:53,795
of someone or something unworldly.

307
00:20:54,296 --> 00:20:56,798
It was already late and dark

308
00:20:56,882 --> 00:20:58,926
when the room met
a very bright light filled it.

309
00:21:02,513 --> 00:21:07,518
There was a figure floating around,
his feet did not touch the ground.

310
00:21:07,553 --> 00:21:11,570
He said his name was Moroni.

311
00:21:11,605 --> 00:21:17,069
After some time with Joseph Smith
Moroni seemed to have spoken

312
00:21:17,104 --> 00:21:23,041
to take off again and
the room was dark again.

313
00:21:24,076 --> 00:21:28,956
The next morning Moroni came
back to Joseph Smith

314
00:21:28,991 --> 00:21:34,002
the secret golden book
to show what we do now

315
00:21:34,037 --> 00:21:36,220
call it the Book of Mormon.

316
00:21:36,255 --> 00:21:39,654
According to the Book of Mormon, Moroni showed

317
00:21:39,689 --> 00:21:43,018
himself to Joseph Smith as a man who

318
00:21:43,053 --> 00:21:47,244
late fourth, early fifth century
lived in America.

319
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:51,436
But America wasn't
Moroni's home, he claimed

320
00:21:51,471 --> 00:21:55,531
from further away.

321
00:21:55,566 --> 00:21:58,951
Moroni claimed of the
Pleiades star cluster to come.

322
00:21:58,986 --> 00:22:03,034
So 9 million members of one
contemporary church,

323
00:22:03,335 --> 00:22:05,541
believe their church

324
00:22:05,576 --> 00:22:10,038
is originally otherworldly.

325
00:22:11,790 --> 00:22:17,004
According to Joseph Smith, Moroni related
not only to come from another planet,

326
00:22:17,754 --> 00:22:22,467
but also commissioned him for the Golden plates
to excavate at the hill Cumorah.

327
00:22:22,634 --> 00:22:27,639
According to experts, this refers to
an ancient Native American burial mound,

328
00:22:27,674 --> 00:22:30,017
such as Serpent Hill.

329
00:22:31,685 --> 00:22:35,355
We have since discovered
that in many such hills

330
00:22:35,397 --> 00:22:40,277
in the Native American region
such plates lie.

331
00:22:42,196 --> 00:22:45,657
These described plates were
not only in North America,

332
00:22:45,782 --> 00:22:47,242
but also found in South America.

333
00:22:48,952 --> 00:22:53,957
An entity commands Joseph Smith
to look for an object,

334
00:22:53,992 --> 00:22:58,229
which may be an archaeological one
discovery may have been.

335
00:22:58,264 --> 00:23:02,471
If Moroni is a spiritual or
was a supernatural being,

336
00:23:02,506 --> 00:23:06,678
why would he then Joseph Smith
provided resources

337
00:23:06,713 --> 00:23:09,313
to translate the plates?

338
00:23:09,348 --> 00:23:13,852
According to astronaut theorists
can Moroni

339
00:23:13,887 --> 00:23:18,947
to have been a Star Being,
an extraterrestrial

340
00:23:18,982 --> 00:23:22,486
with the mission to save Smith and his
followers the progressive

341
00:23:22,521 --> 00:23:25,777
knowledge for building
of hills to pass on.

342
00:23:25,812 --> 00:23:29,034
Getting into Mormonism
many theologians assume

343
00:23:29,069 --> 00:23:33,205
that God, the angels and spiritual beings

344
00:23:33,413 --> 00:23:34,498
live on different planets.

345
00:23:43,507 --> 00:23:47,511
According to Native American legends
the Star Beings left by the thousands

346
00:23:47,546 --> 00:23:52,182
years ago Earth, approximately
at the same time in which according to

347
00:23:52,217 --> 00:23:55,818
the astronaut theory
the aliens left Egypt.

348
00:23:55,853 --> 00:24:00,148
But as Joseph Smith Moroni
really saw in a vision, this was it

349
00:24:00,183 --> 00:24:03,920
no spiritual encounter,

350
00:24:04,321 --> 00:24:06,620
but an alien?

351
00:24:06,655 --> 00:24:11,500
Are there more like this?
alien visits,

352
00:24:11,535 --> 00:24:14,141
who also contributed to

353
00:24:14,242 --> 00:24:18,342
an increased interest
in the stars in the 19th century?

354
00:24:18,376 --> 00:24:22,045
In the 19th century people were very
interested in astronomy.

355
00:24:22,087 --> 00:24:25,132
It was taken into account that
could be life on other planets.

356
00:24:25,167 --> 00:24:27,217
So often lights were turned on
heaven attributed to

357
00:24:27,252 --> 00:24:32,347
possible visitors
from another world.

358
00:24:34,349 --> 00:24:37,227
Joseph Smith felt such a strong connection with

359
00:24:37,352 --> 00:24:41,148
native americans that
he believed them to be him

360
00:24:41,315 --> 00:24:43,442
could lead to a new holy land,

361
00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:45,277
which he called “the new Zion.”

362
00:24:48,238 --> 00:24:50,949
Smith died in 1844,

363
00:24:50,991 --> 00:24:54,913
he was killed by one
angry mob, and his successor,

364
00:24:55,248 --> 00:25:00,048
Brigham Young, led the Mormons
on to Utah.

365
00:25:00,083 --> 00:25:04,546
When the Mormons invaded the United States in 1849
area of the Parowan Gap

366
00:25:04,581 --> 00:25:08,932
arrived told Ute chief
Wakara hun that they

367
00:25:08,967 --> 00:25:13,263
"God's own house" had been entered
and showed them as proof

368
00:25:13,298 --> 00:25:17,284
petroglyphs thousands of years old.

369
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:21,236
Petroglyphs can be found throughout Utah

370
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:25,817
of hunters who met
bow and arrow hunting bison.

371
00:25:26,352 --> 00:25:31,825
Ordinary daily activities.

372
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:37,454
But there are also
very strange petroglyphs.

373
00:25:37,489 --> 00:25:41,590
And they look like spaceships.

374
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:46,595
They look like creatures with halos.

375
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:50,008
They look like creatures
with antennae on their heads,

376
00:25:50,043 --> 00:25:53,758
or creatures wearing strange suits.

377
00:25:53,793 --> 00:25:57,474
In fact they look like petroglyphs

378
00:25:57,509 --> 00:25:59,476
of astronauts.

379
00:26:03,856 --> 00:26:08,951
Great Falls, Montana.
October 19, 1865.

380
00:26:09,386 --> 00:26:13,783
Six months after the murder of
President Abraham Lincoln

381
00:26:16,084 --> 00:26:18,184
reports a trapper
of what perhaps

382
00:26:18,218 --> 00:26:22,291
the first reported UFO accident
was in the Old West.

383
00:26:22,326 --> 00:26:25,207
In 1865 the Missouri Democrat reported

384
00:26:25,242 --> 00:26:28,088
that a trapper had seen a light floating

385
00:26:28,123 --> 00:26:31,056
in the night sky.

386
00:26:31,091 --> 00:26:36,847
It hovered over his camp, disintegrating
and crashed further into the woods.

387
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:44,104
The next day he tracked it down,

388
00:26:44,229 --> 00:26:46,815
and found a large stone lying on it
a mountainside had been smashed.

389
00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:49,443
It was hollow and broken open;
he claimed that there

390
00:26:49,478 --> 00:26:53,787
contained open spaces and

391
00:26:53,822 --> 00:26:54,997
that it contained hieroglyphic signs.

392
00:26:55,032 --> 00:26:59,328
He also saw that around
a mysterious liquid lay.

393
00:26:59,363 --> 00:27:02,562
The newspaper, however, even suggested that

394
00:27:02,697 --> 00:27:06,870
the vehicles of extraterrestrials

395
00:27:06,971 --> 00:27:08,171
of Mercury or Uranus.

396
00:27:08,205 --> 00:27:11,472
This shows that accidents involving UFOs already...

397
00:27:11,507 --> 00:27:14,343
were investigated in the 19th century,

398
00:27:14,378 --> 00:27:18,228
almost 100 years before Roswell.

399
00:27:18,263 --> 00:27:20,314
But what about this story?

400
00:27:20,349 --> 00:27:23,317
more intriguing for old ones
astronaut theorists,

401
00:27:23,352 --> 00:27:28,398
is the location of the observation
at the headwaters of the Missouri River.

402
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,194
This is the homeland of the
Blackfoot Indians, a tribe

403
00:27:32,229 --> 00:27:36,121
with ancient legends about Star Beings

404
00:27:36,156 --> 00:27:38,867
who come from the region
visited other worlds.

405
00:27:38,909 --> 00:27:43,372
The Blackfoot have legends
and myths

406
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:48,710
who tell about extraterrestrials who

407
00:27:48,752 --> 00:27:51,755
came to Earth from the sky

408
00:27:51,797 --> 00:27:53,590
in air vehicles.

409
00:27:56,093 --> 00:27:58,887
The way they become
these seem to be described

410
00:27:58,922 --> 00:28:01,890
on modern flying saucers or UFOs.

411
00:28:06,895 --> 00:28:10,821
Can the object that the trapper
found in Montana

412
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,819
truly one of the alien ones
vessels have been

413
00:28:13,854 --> 00:28:16,245
from the Blackfoot legends?

414
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,950
And can the signs be the same?
been like that Joseph Smith

415
00:28:19,985 --> 00:28:22,793
found on the gold plates?

416
00:28:22,828 --> 00:28:27,613
For some Native Americans,
such as chief Standing Elk

417
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:33,311
of the Yankton Dakota tribe, live there
still Star People among us

418
00:28:33,446 --> 00:28:37,766
and still have them
contact with people.

419
00:28:37,801 --> 00:28:43,724
Many of our relatives who
come to speak from the stars

420
00:28:43,765 --> 00:28:49,069
telepathically with us and some

421
00:28:49,104 --> 00:28:52,524
have me a rod with
show symbols on it.

422
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:57,279
They spoke to me and I
could understand them very well.

423
00:28:57,314 --> 00:29:02,034
This is a replica of one of the bars

424
00:29:02,069 --> 00:29:04,491
from one of the lightships.

425
00:29:04,526 --> 00:29:06,879
This contains the general laws.

426
00:29:06,914 --> 00:29:10,125
And they are guarded by the Star People.

427
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,128
So these are universal laws.

428
00:29:18,884 --> 00:29:22,971
Have the first Americans
really meet Star People

429
00:29:23,006 --> 00:29:27,065
when they crossed the border?

430
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:31,605
And maybe they had more
strange encounters

431
00:29:31,688 --> 00:29:35,140
when they moved further into the West?

432
00:29:43,075 --> 00:29:45,702
Tombstone, Ariz.

433
00:29:48,539 --> 00:29:54,176
In 1881, Wyatt Erp lived in this mining town

434
00:29:54,211 --> 00:29:59,070
known for the gunfight
at the O.R. Corral.

435
00:29:59,105 --> 00:30:03,894
Not even 10 years later
this would be the city with

436
00:30:03,929 --> 00:30:08,976
one of the most bizarre UFOs
observations in history.

437
00:30:09,011 --> 00:30:14,314
According to an article in the
Tombstone Epitaph from 1890

438
00:30:14,356 --> 00:30:17,526
two ranchers were located
in the Arizona desert

439
00:30:17,568 --> 00:30:22,006
when she was a monstrous bird
saw with big wings.

440
00:30:22,047 --> 00:30:25,368
The body looked like that
of an alligator

441
00:30:25,569 --> 00:30:26,375
and the wings were
strange to them.

442
00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:30,372
There is another version of it
the story of the cowboys

443
00:30:30,414 --> 00:30:34,751
when they were very old
in which they say upon the bird

444
00:30:34,793 --> 00:30:38,881
to have shot, but that
it flew away: it was bulletproof.

445
00:30:41,175 --> 00:30:44,303
There were many reports about it
large birds with cowboys on them

446
00:30:44,344 --> 00:30:47,271
shot or chased over great distances.

447
00:30:47,306 --> 00:30:52,227
And they all reported that the bullets
bounce off the leathery skin.

448
00:30:52,262 --> 00:30:56,607
The story was over
the giant bird just a joke

449
00:30:56,642 --> 00:30:58,407
as many think?

450
00:30:58,442 --> 00:31:02,744
Or is there some truth in it?

451
00:31:02,779 --> 00:31:04,823
In the old West

452
00:31:05,424 --> 00:31:10,924
there are stories about creatures

453
00:31:11,564 --> 00:31:14,292
who would live in mines.

454
00:31:15,334 --> 00:31:19,602
The Ghost Rider was a cowboy
that flew through the air,

455
00:31:20,037 --> 00:31:23,393
but there were others
about ghost trains.

456
00:31:24,628 --> 00:31:29,264
Were these just stories?
for the campfire

457
00:31:29,299 --> 00:31:31,433
that were sent on the spot?

458
00:31:31,475 --> 00:31:36,236
Or were they based on truth?

459
00:31:36,271 --> 00:31:40,057
For many Americans in it
early and mid 19th century,

460
00:31:40,492 --> 00:31:43,064
offered the vast West

461
00:31:43,299 --> 00:31:47,915
new opportunities and challenges.

462
00:31:47,950 --> 00:31:51,251
Now that they were freed from the yoke
of the European tradition and

463
00:31:51,286 --> 00:31:55,791
Judeo-Christian fundamentalism,
the first pioneers could

464
00:31:55,826 --> 00:32:00,125
now their own political,
social and religious philosophies

465
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,107
put into practice,
that were disapproved by others.

466
00:32:05,142 --> 00:32:10,055
One of those new philosophies
was Transcendentalism.

467
00:32:10,097 --> 00:32:15,477
Transcendentalism was maybe
the main philosophy

468
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:18,647
in 19th century America.

469
00:32:19,982 --> 00:32:23,923
One of the founders
was Ralph Waldo Emerson.

470
00:32:24,458 --> 00:32:29,206
The belief in extraterrestrial life made

471
00:32:29,241 --> 00:32:31,528
that he left Christianity.

472
00:32:33,363 --> 00:32:37,381
Also the writer and poet Walt Whitman
had a share in this.

473
00:32:37,416 --> 00:32:42,525
His most famous book from 1855
was called "The Leaves of Grass".

474
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:47,634
This book mentions about 200 times
referred to astronomy.

475
00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:52,813
He strongly believed in extraterrestrials.

476
00:32:52,848 --> 00:32:56,685
In a nutshell: transcendentalism
young America pointed out

477
00:32:56,727 --> 00:32:59,897
that all things are imperceptible
and that some things are,

478
00:32:59,938 --> 00:33:01,523
but not with the five senses.

479
00:33:01,565 --> 00:33:06,361
This opened things up for the pioneers
new ideas and new insights.

480
00:33:06,396 --> 00:33:11,158
Also of great influence on the manner
on which 19th century Americans

481
00:33:11,193 --> 00:33:14,703
looking at the world was
the emergence of a new species

482
00:33:14,738 --> 00:33:19,173
literature, science fiction.

483
00:33:19,208 --> 00:33:22,315
I think the image we have is out

484
00:33:22,350 --> 00:33:24,949
many films and TV series, that a cowboy

485
00:33:24,984 --> 00:33:27,514
was always a rude and illiterate person.

486
00:33:27,749 --> 00:33:31,523
Most cowboys could
excellent reading and writing.

487
00:33:32,064 --> 00:33:35,933
After all, there wasn't much entertainment
in the West.

488
00:33:36,674 --> 00:33:40,437
One of the first American
science fiction writers

489
00:33:40,472 --> 00:33:44,983
the war veteran Ambrose Bierce,
who believed strongly

490
00:33:45,018 --> 00:33:49,411
that life existed outside our world.

491
00:33:49,446 --> 00:33:54,576
Ambrose Bierce was a writer
some very strange short stories.

492
00:33:54,611 --> 00:33:58,162
"The Difficulty of Crossing a Field"
was about a farmer in Alabama

493
00:33:58,297 --> 00:34:02,083
who was walking on his land and suddenly disappeared.

494
00:34:02,118 --> 00:34:03,550
He was just gone.

495
00:34:04,485 --> 00:34:09,230
And years later his wife said
that she heard his voice, now and then,

496
00:34:09,365 --> 00:34:12,851
but he wasn't there.

497
00:34:12,886 --> 00:34:16,489
Ambrose Bierce tried us
to show that this man

498
00:34:16,524 --> 00:34:19,598
inter-dimensional to
another place had traveled.

499
00:34:19,633 --> 00:34:23,272
And though he was still there,
he wasn't there anyway.

500
00:34:23,307 --> 00:34:27,241
Many experts and historians
think that Bierce,

501
00:34:27,276 --> 00:34:32,322
just like other writers of
fantasy stories, was influenced

502
00:34:32,357 --> 00:34:36,625
by Native Americans and their folklore.

503
00:34:36,660 --> 00:34:41,498
Apart from the belief in Star Beings,
they also believed that there

504
00:34:41,533 --> 00:34:46,336
inter-dimensional passageways
existed, with which visitors

505
00:34:46,371 --> 00:34:49,805
could travel between time and space.

506
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,427
When you consider that people
suddenly disappear through a hole

507
00:34:53,468 --> 00:34:58,098
in spacetime to one
other dimension and thinks about

508
00:34:58,140 --> 00:35:01,894
the theory of relativity
bending space and time,

509
00:35:01,935 --> 00:35:06,440
This doesn't seem so strange, because we...
mathematically the gaps

510
00:35:06,481 --> 00:35:10,444
describe time in space
that connect space regions.

511
00:35:12,738 --> 00:35:16,259
The mystery or something like that
passageways really exist

512
00:35:16,301 --> 00:35:19,672
can by Ambrose Bierce
themselves have been resolved

513
00:35:20,014 --> 00:35:24,416
when he risked it
into the Mexican desert.

514
00:35:24,758 --> 00:35:30,071
Early 20th century Ambrose Bierce
in Northern Mexico

515
00:35:31,013 --> 00:35:34,760
in the area known
for the strange appearances,

516
00:35:34,795 --> 00:35:36,107
called the Keymay.

517
00:35:37,008 --> 00:35:40,308
This is also an area
which is also thought to occur

518
00:35:40,342 --> 00:35:43,242
an inter-dimensional passageway.

519
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:48,113
Bierce may not be alone
traveled to Mexico.

520
00:35:48,448 --> 00:35:54,111
Yet another colorful figure,
named F. A. Mitchell Hedges,

521
00:35:54,146 --> 00:35:56,246
possibly traveled with him.

522
00:35:57,081 --> 00:36:00,640
Mitchell Hedges was one
British adventurer, best known

523
00:36:00,675 --> 00:36:05,464
for his discovery
of a crystal Mayan skull.

524
00:36:07,099 --> 00:36:12,005
The ancient city of Paquime is located
short distance from the Crystal Cave.

525
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:16,297
This is where the largest crystals are produced
found in the world.

526
00:36:17,032 --> 00:36:20,554
Mitchell Hedges believed that
his skulls were capable

527
00:36:20,689 --> 00:36:22,814
to communicate with someone

528
00:36:22,949 --> 00:36:25,909
and inter-dimensional one
convey message

529
00:36:26,210 --> 00:36:28,210
to one
alien.

530
00:36:30,244 --> 00:36:35,071
It is believed that Hedges worked with...
Bierce has discovered a method

531
00:36:35,106 --> 00:36:37,663
or developed to via
to speak to the crystals

532
00:36:37,698 --> 00:36:42,602
or use their strength to
to be transported,

533
00:36:42,637 --> 00:36:47,416
to an inter-dimensional one
space, forever.

534
00:36:49,168 --> 00:36:52,045
From there he sent
his last known message,

535
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,423
a letter that ended with the text

536
00:36:54,631 --> 00:36:58,969
"I'm leaving tomorrow
to an unknown destination. "

537
00:36:59,011 --> 00:37:01,847
The man who is about so much
strange disappearances

538
00:37:02,055 --> 00:37:07,186
had written
never seen again.

539
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:14,401
Played Ambrose Bierce one
game, or did he have one

540
00:37:14,526 --> 00:37:19,615
inter-dimensional passage found
as described in his stories?

541
00:37:22,451 --> 00:37:26,913
Maybe the answer lies in
a mysterious lake in California,

542
00:37:27,338 --> 00:37:32,912
which many think here
is a passage to another world.

543
00:37:41,226 --> 00:37:44,180
Elizabeth Lake, Southern California.

544
00:37:44,515 --> 00:37:49,207
This high desert lake
is located at an intersection of

545
00:37:49,242 --> 00:37:54,073
tectonic plates that
form the San Andreas fault.

546
00:37:54,108 --> 00:37:58,633
The Mexicans who left California
colonized in 1700

547
00:37:58,668 --> 00:38:03,123
called it Laguna del Diablo,
More of the Devil.

548
00:38:03,158 --> 00:38:07,621
It was said that the pet
came from the devil into the world

549
00:38:07,656 --> 00:38:11,715
through a passage at the bottom of the lake.

550
00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:16,070
Local legend claims so
there is an entrance at the bottom

551
00:38:16,505 --> 00:38:19,049
would be to the underworld,
therefore they call it Devil's Lake.

552
00:38:19,091 --> 00:38:24,595
It is also said that there
from the mid-18th century to 1880

553
00:38:24,637 --> 00:38:28,433
something happened there
frightened the people.

554
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:33,647
Some wealthy landowners
built farms there and

555
00:38:33,689 --> 00:38:37,067
these ranchers claimed
being attacked and abused

556
00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:40,487
by a monstrous beast
that came out of the water

557
00:38:40,529 --> 00:38:44,241
to steal cattle and
threaten the population.

558
00:38:46,869 --> 00:38:49,128
The ranchers who own this beast
would have seen

559
00:38:49,163 --> 00:38:55,134
called it "the Thunderbird"
and their description of it was almost

560
00:38:55,169 --> 00:39:00,775
identical to that of the giant bird
that the cowboys saw in Tombstone in 1890.

561
00:39:01,710 --> 00:39:06,071
One of the landowners
got it into his head

562
00:39:06,106 --> 00:39:09,432
to corner the creature
to sell to a circus

563
00:39:09,467 --> 00:39:12,057
and the story goes
that this rancher

564
00:39:12,092 --> 00:39:15,647
a number of shots
this creature resolved, but that

565
00:39:15,682 --> 00:39:17,191
the bullets ricocheted off the metal.

566
00:39:17,226 --> 00:39:18,323
The bullets ricocheted.

567
00:39:18,358 --> 00:39:22,821
And after that meeting
the bird flew eastward

568
00:39:22,856 --> 00:39:25,883
and was never seen in California again.

569
00:39:25,918 --> 00:39:28,876
This so-called Thunderbird indeed

570
00:39:28,911 --> 00:39:33,144
have been the same being
what the cowboys had shot at?

571
00:39:33,179 --> 00:39:37,377
And why did the locals call it
him the devil's pet?

572
00:39:37,412 --> 00:39:40,506
They didn't have one yet
vocabulary like we do now.

573
00:39:40,547 --> 00:39:44,051
So if something happened
that they could not explain,

574
00:39:44,086 --> 00:39:49,033
this soon got a name like
the Devil's Tower or the Devil's Lake

575
00:39:49,575 --> 00:39:53,060
or the Devils this or Devils that.

576
00:39:53,101 --> 00:39:56,987
If we leave the legend out of it
you could say this was a passage

577
00:39:57,022 --> 00:40:00,984
to another dimension, of which the
people knew this one had something to do with it

578
00:40:01,026 --> 00:40:05,823
with a mysterious entity
at that specific location.

579
00:40:10,702 --> 00:40:15,374
If there is indeed a passage
to another dimension or universe

580
00:40:15,409 --> 00:40:19,384
at the bottom of Elizabeth Lake,
maybe it is

581
00:40:19,419 --> 00:40:23,674
also possible that the thunderbird
was not actually a being,

582
00:40:23,715 --> 00:40:26,927
but something much more incredible.

583
00:40:26,969 --> 00:40:30,722
The thunderbird was enormous,
made a lot of noise,

584
00:40:30,764 --> 00:40:34,685
so maybe he sounded
like a jet engine.

585
00:40:34,726 --> 00:40:39,398
He could radiate fire.

586
00:40:40,339 --> 00:40:45,946
People spoke of a winged creature
that made a thunderous sound,

587
00:40:45,988 --> 00:40:50,075
and spewed light from his eyes
and I think so

588
00:40:50,117 --> 00:40:52,035
we are dealing with here
with some kind of vessel.

589
00:40:56,832 --> 00:41:01,920
The Indians in North America
know the bird of course.

590
00:41:01,962 --> 00:41:06,717
But this was something different.
An object that could fly

591
00:41:06,758 --> 00:41:11,846
was bigger than the eagle
and could make a lot of noise.

592
00:41:12,088 --> 00:41:14,766
That's why they called it the thunderbird.

593
00:41:14,808 --> 00:41:20,455
Even when planes take off
here in the southwest,

594
00:41:21,297 --> 00:41:26,904
people call these metal birds.

595
00:41:27,446 --> 00:41:32,743
When the first plane landed,
the Indians came

596
00:41:32,778 --> 00:41:36,205
outside to worship the plane.

597
00:41:37,206 --> 00:41:40,953
It reminds me of a concept
which is called cultural tracing,

598
00:41:41,195 --> 00:41:43,018
the concept that UFOs

599
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:48,819
manifest itself in all forms
can occur,

600
00:41:49,259 --> 00:41:52,095
like in China the flying dragons,

601
00:41:52,137 --> 00:41:55,682
and in ancient Egypt the flying boats.

602
00:41:55,724 --> 00:41:59,770
In Roman times people talked about it
flying shields.

603
00:41:59,811 --> 00:42:03,273
Maybe this was their interpretation or

604
00:42:03,315 --> 00:42:05,192
maybe this was
what they actually saw.

605
00:42:06,235 --> 00:42:11,031
Saw the cowboys in Tombstone, Arizona
and the ranchers at Elizabeth Lake

606
00:42:11,073 --> 00:42:15,744
an alien craft, perhaps already

607
00:42:15,786 --> 00:42:18,622
came to North America for thousands of years?

608
00:42:18,664 --> 00:42:21,708
The truth is anyway
that there are interesting and incredible

609
00:42:21,750 --> 00:42:25,754
stories are about flying objects
in the 19th century,

610
00:42:25,796 --> 00:42:28,757
as well as strange encounters
and events.

611
00:42:30,634 --> 00:42:35,658
The Old West was not alone
rough, deadly and bloody,

612
00:42:35,859 --> 00:42:37,859
but also mysterious.

613
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:41,249
It was a time when the people
often came across things

614
00:42:41,284 --> 00:42:44,398
which they did not understand and
made up many stories.

615
00:42:44,439 --> 00:42:46,865
This is something you encounter everywhere.

616
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:52,406
How many things we know now,
seemed impossible at first?

617
00:42:52,447 --> 00:42:57,979
I try every story
to hear openly,

618
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:01,123
whether I believe it or not.

619
00:43:05,002 --> 00:43:08,297
Aliens occupy one
quiet town in the west

620
00:43:08,332 --> 00:43:12,381
and terrified residents
grab their weapons

621
00:43:12,416 --> 00:43:16,430
in a valiant effort
to defend themselves.

622
00:43:16,465 --> 00:43:22,276
Is this just Hollywood fantasy?

623
00:43:22,311 --> 00:43:26,523
Or his movies like Cowboys
and Aliens really based

624
00:43:26,558 --> 00:43:29,074
on historical events?

625
00:43:29,109 --> 00:43:33,530
Stories that defy everything we know

626
00:43:33,565 --> 00:43:35,365
or believe about ourselves?

627
00:43:37,034 --> 00:43:40,913
Does this mean that the more we left
the immensity of the universe

628
00:43:40,954 --> 00:43:46,251
discover and discover the mysteries
of exploring the Earth,

629
00:43:46,376 --> 00:43:51,256
we keep the secrets of us
the past will unravel

630
00:43:51,381 --> 00:43:53,884
and thus a passage to
will open our future?
