I'm in Poland, at the former

headquarters for Hitler's subterranean weapons project...

to investigate the secret work the Third Reich and their

apparent interests in the occult, ancient wisdom and

possibly even advanced, extraterrestrial technology.

At the height of World War II, the Nazis engaged their top

scientists to develop a number of what they referred to as

Wunderwaffe, or "wonder weapons,"

weapons that were so diabolical and so scientifically

incredible they would turn the tide of the war against the the Allies.

According to testimony collected just after the war, one of these

top-secret projects was code-named Die Glocke,

or "The Bell", and it was believed to be a serious attempt

to create a time travel device that could soar through the sky,

and eventually maybe even reach the speed of light.

But following the war, no trace

of the Bell was ever found- only a handful of drawings.

I'm determined to find out

whether or not this device actually existed, and if so,

could it have been based on designs left behind by ancient astronauts.

Could there really be a link

between extraterrestrial visitors and the Third Reich?

My name is Giorgio Tsoukalos.

I explore the world that exists

between reality and speculation, the known and the unknown.

What we've been taught by mainstream scholars is not the whole picture.

I'm convinced that, every day, we are one step closer to the truth.

During the Second World War, it was widely believed that the

German Army possessed the most technologically advanced

military on the planet, boasting an arsenal that included guided

missiles, jet aircraft and precision bombers.

Adolf Hitler planned to use this weaponry to defeat the Allied

forces and create an empire that would rule the world.

But after they were defeated in 1945, more than 1,600 German

scientists were brought to the United States as part of

Operation Paperclip, and there are some who believe that these

diabolical minds brought secret knowledge that may have had an

extraterrestrial origin.

I'm in Ludwikowice, Poland, with Igor Witkowski, author of The

Truth About the Wunderwaffe, or "wonder weapons."

In 1997, while working as a military journalist, Igor was

shown original documents by a Polish intelligence officer

concerning a top secret Nazi project titled "Kronos" and a

mysterious weapon known as Die Glocke, or the "Bell."

Because Kronos, in ancient Greek mythology, is also the name of

the Titan god of time, there are some who believe that Project

Kronos involved the study of time travel, and Die Glocke

might have been part of some type of a time machine.

We are turning left and, uh, we are just about to enter the valley

in Ludwikowice, Poland, which was, uh, sort of a Nazi

equivalent of the Area 51, I guess.

Igor is taking me to a place called the Henge,

which is believed to be a former

Nazi science laboratory and the headquarters for Project Kronos.

So this entire valley was sealed off, and for what purpose was it sealed off?

I mean, what-what was so secret about this area?

Under this valley, there is a huge mine that, uh,

bankrupted before the war and was taken over by the SS for,

uh... for their purposes because it's, uh... it's something the

size of a medium-sized city underground.

Interesting. Okay.

Yeah. It's here.

Wow.

I mean, I'm-I'm speechless right now.

I mean, I don't even know what I'm looking at.

So this is what they're referring to as the Henge?

Looks as if it's made of

concrete, and, uh, I mean, it's a very interesting structure.

So what can you tell me about this?

It appears for the first time on, uh, aerial

photographs in, uh, September of 1944, so it certainly has been

built, uh, shortly before the end of the war.

And the entire valley was dedicated to research and

development purposes, and this is one of the objects here.

And do you think that this had something to do

with them building the Wunderwaffe and Die Glocke?

There is one clue about it.

The entire valley was sealed off from the outside world, and

this structure stands in the very center of the security rings.

The security rings consisted of, uh, lines of fortifications,

guarding rooms, uh, bunkers, uh, gates, blockades for tanks and

even lines of trenches, which is something very unusual because

this place was, uh, never close to the front line.

Interesting.

According to Igor, the entire valley is honeycombed with

chambers, tunnels and subterranean laboratories, all

once dedicated to the development of futuristic technologies.

So this here is ground zero for the Wunderwaffe.

Looking around, there's some power plants over here which

would require a lot of energy, and one has to wonder, what was it for?

The SS general Hans Kammler has, uh, built here an

enormous industrial research complex, and, uh, this power

plant here, which consumed around 1,000 tons of, uh, coal

per day, was used to power all that undertaking.

Leading the search for the Wunderwaffe was Nazi scientist Hans Kammler.

Some claim that Kammler was the most important officer in the SS

and masterminded the development

of cutting-edge projects based upon ancient knowledge.

Some have suggested that the

Henge was designed to test Die Glocke and that large chains

would have been attached to the bizarre structure so that the

bell-shaped craft would not fly away prematurely.

But the Henge is nothing compared to the vast network of

tunnels and chambers which lie hidden underground, the place

where many believe Die Glocke, or "the Bell," was constructed.

This is very creepy down here.

Very creepy.

It's cold.

Cold.

It's damp.

According to Igor, Nazi Germany's prisoners of war were

forced to participate in high-tech experiments here at the Henge.

This is the guard room.

There was a machine gun here.

These holes were for throwing grenades.

Wow.

I mean, this is crazy.

Yeah.

Exactly how many of these experiments were conducted

is unknown, but it has been documented that many former

participants suffered nerve damage and even a condition

where the skin was coming off the participants' faces, as

though they had been exposed to high levels of radiation.

So do you think that the Bell might've been a-a type of a

propulsion device for an antigravity machine or something like that?

The Germans were using a phenomenon which occurs when a

high-energy vortex of some kind is separated from the outside

world, and, uh, it is causing an antigravitational effect.

According to reports discovered after the war, some

have suggested that German scientists had been

experimenting with antigravity technologies and had been

developing a type of vortex engine powered by mercury.

The idea was that the mercury would spin in a gyroscopic

manner within a closed system and create lift, seemingly

defying gravity in much the same way many modern UFO sightings are described.

Are you aware of any blueprints that were ever discovered of

this Wunderwaffe, the way it might've been shaped, the way it might've looked like?

Somewhere... here, yes, you see, it's something that

resembles a bell and it is portrayed here as a part of

some larger propulsion system.

A time machine device embedded in something

that looks like a flying saucer.

Could such a device really exist?

And if it did, could it really travel through time?

You know, the first thing that jumps out at me is that they

named this thing here the "Vril Number 9."

And vril is something that refers to power in ancient

Tibetan and Sanskrit texts.

So why would anyone use this?

It's a very obscure term, this whole "Vril" thing.

What can you tell me about why

or how this "Vril" was actually used, in this context here?

What they have discovered is that one may

induce gravity from electromagnetic forces.

"Vril," in this case, seems to be the most accurate description

of the force that we are discovering.

According to Igor, The Bell disappeared at the end

of the war, along with its mastermind, Hans Kammler.

And there are those who speculate, to this day, that

both escaped through a window in time.

I'm at Castle Ksiaz in Lower Silesia, Poland-

a former development headquarters for many of Adolf

Hitler's top-secret weapons known as Wunderwaffe, or "wonder weapons."

Author and researcher Igor Witkowski has brought me here to

show me what he claims to be

authentic Nazi documentation for a device which some people

believe could have been some sort of a time machine.

Igor, do you think that maybe The Bell- that they also

sometimes refer to as Die Glocke- was a type of flying craft?

It was a combination of some flying machine with weapons of mass destruction.

It seems that The Bell was the main part of a propulsion

system, of a flying craft, not a flying craft itself.

But we don't know the rest of the picture.

It has been widely reported that the Nazis had an

almost fanatical desire to

locate and study ancient religious texts and artifacts,

which they believed possessed great power.

They were also fascinated by the

occult and the study of the forbidden or so-called "Dark Arts."

Although much of this ancient knowledge was lost at the end of

the war, much of it was thought to be taken by the Allies as

spoils of war and may have

served as the inspiration for many of the advanced

communications and weapons systems in use today.

The very idea of generating gravity was based on

scientific discoveries that they had made.

They were open, also, to the

idea of incorporating knowledge from the ancient past.

And to the very possibility of other intelligences in the universe.

This all seems highly advanced for its time.

It was such an advanced idea, the most secret research

project carried out in the Third Reich.

And I have a very interesting document here, which is signed

by the General Kammler, which says that it was, uh, engaging

all the forces of the SS at the end of the war.

The way Igor describes The Bell reminds me of

the numerous accounts in ancient

Hindu texts of the "vimanas"-

airships that could stop on a

dime and change direction at top

speed, seemingly defying the

laws of physics.

The ancient Sanskrit text, the

Mahabarata, describes an earthly

arrival by these ancient

spacecraft, which curiously

resemble modern-day UFO accounts.

Today, most mainstream historians identify the stories

of the vimanas as works of fiction, but in India some

Hindus regard them as history.

Is it possible that the Nazis

had somehow rediscovered an

alien technology that existed on

Earth thousands of years ago?

And, if so, where did they get

such detailed information?

In his 1993 book Secret Societies and their Power in

the 20th Century, author Jan van Helsing wrote that a UFO

crashed in Germany's Black Forest in 1936...

...three years before the start of World War II.

According to his account,

Hitler's SS troops took

possession of the downed craft

and carried it away to their

top-secret headquarters at

Wewelsburg Castle.

There, it is believed that Nazi

scientists began their attempts

to reverse-engineer technology

found aboard the damaged craft.

As I said good-bye to Igor,

I couldn't stop thinking about

the idea that the strange

designs I'd seen of the Nazi

Bell reminded me not only of

Hindu vimanas, but also of

stupas- an ancient bell-shaped

design that Buddhists believed

had mystical powers.

After leaving Poland,

I travelled to Switzerland to

meet with my good friend and

mentor, Erich von Daniken, the

founding father behind what's

known as the "ancient astronaut theory."

So do you think that extraterrestrials are

responsible why we have the

stupa motif today?

This particular shape?

You see, we always were copiers.

We saw some vimanas, which had

the shape of a stupa.

So, later, we made copies out of the stupa.

The-The cultures in the past-

intellectually, they may have

been brilliant, but they could

not understand the technology.

The stupa dates back

thousands of years and is

believed to have been inspired

by early burial mounds in which

the deceased were seated in an

upright position and covered with earth.

Later, the stupa was thought to

represent a seated Buddha, and

over the centuries, its basic

bell shape became refined with

the addition of more and more

elaborate designs.

You know, some people have

suggested that the stupa shape itself...

or, you know, that whatever

vehicles were described in the

past, might have had the

possibility of-of time travel.

Do think that such a thing is possible?

Uh... nothing is impossible.

Nothing is impossible.

I would not exclude this

completely, because who knows

what the future brings?

Exactly.

So... I'm in the Swiss Alps,

consulting with Erich von Daniken about Die Glocke, also

known as The Bell, to see if he thinks whether or not the Nazis

may have been developing a time travel device based on ancient

Hindu and Buddhist designs designs that perhaps were

directly inspired by ancient extraterrestrial technology.

You see, the stupa is, uh, a shape which you find in

the Mahabharata- the old Indian epic.

There, small vehicles called

"vimanas" had the shape of a stupa.

Since that time people always

copied stupas because stupas had

to do something with the gods

and with heaven.

There are numerous accounts in ancient Sanskrit

texts that describe vimanas and

stupas, ancient chariots of the gods.

And they were described as

flying chariots made of gleaming

metal with amazing

maneuverability in the air with

powerful weapons that could

annihilate the enemy from afar.

Some were even described to be

able to cloak themselves.

Now, while mainstream scholars interpret these events in divine

and symbolic terms, the ancient

astronaut theory suggests that

this is rooted in misunderstood

technology and that they were

perhaps witnessing extraterrestrial craft.

You see, for example,

here, this is the so-called

Borobudur in Indonesia.

It's a gigantic temple and it's

just composed of hundreds and

hundreds of stupas.

Now these stupas are not empty.

In every stupa, inside is the young Buddha.

And what is the young Buddha doing?

He's using his hands, you see,

to manipulate some control

because, according to their

belief, the stupa is the small

vehicle with which you reach the

big vehicle.

The big vehicle is surrounding the planet.

The small vehicle comes down to

earth and goes again, but just to the big.

So you have to manipulate some

controls... and you remember,

Giorgio, that we have this

famous plaque of Palenque in Mexico.

Yes... And there, this young

ruler Pakal is sitting on this

sort of chair manipulating some

controls with two hands.

If you turn it a little, you

have exactly the same pictures

as young Buddha sitting in a stupa.

And, you see, when you take any

Indian temple, it doesn't matter

if the temple is a young

temple- by young, I mean maybe

it was constructed just 50 years

ago- or if it's an old temple,

if the temple is 2,000 years ago, it doesn't matter what.

On top of every Indian temple,

still, today, you have a so-called vimana.

Vimana is, again, the flying

machine from mythology but it

was not mythology, and

sometimes, it was reality.

And sometimes the vimana has the

shape of a stupa, again.

What do you say to

people who suggest that the

ancient Indian epics are nothing

else but a product of fantasy?

This is all garbage.

It was real.

It was reality.

The vimanas always came from

the so-called "cities in

the sky,"- today, we would say

"mother spaceship."

You know, there are

some that have suggested that

some of the Nazi scientists were

inspired by Sanskrit texts.

Do you think that's a possibility?

Yeah, that's true.

That's true.

We know from, uh, some diaries

of these scientists that they

studied ancient Sanskrit texts

and they were influenced.

Erich then shared an

interesting story with me about

one of the German scientists

he'd once met in person

concerning the Wunderwaffe developments.

You see, Werner von

Braun was the one who launched

up Saturn V to the moon.

He was a student of Professor

Dr. Hermann Oberth.

Hermann Oberth is what we call

the "father of rockets."

They were studying Hindu and,

and the Veda text, definitely.

Because when he was an old man,

I had the chance to speak

together with Hermann Oberth,

and I asked him about these things.

Did you work at some kind of

stupa sh..., uh, a kind of

secret weapon and he said,

"Yes, we did work, but we never

finished the work.

If we would have finished it,

we would have won the war."

Well, thank you very much for-for answering

some of these questions.

And, uh, you know, I'm not sure

yet where I will go next in this

investigation, but, uh, this

was invaluable information.

Thank you very much, Erich, as always.

Thank you, Giorgio.

You can come to my archives.

It's endless.

It will never end, all the links

and stories together.

It all comes together, absolutely.

It's always fascinating to talk

with Erich, and speaking with

him made me wonder if maybe

Die Glocke wasn't only designed

to be a part of a time-traveling

craft but, perhaps, was also

designed to be a time-traveling craft.

Because he kept on saying how

the ancient people often

reported seeing stupa-shaped

craft coming down from the sky.

But was the mysterious bell-shaped object, simply known

as Die Glocke, really capable of space travel?

And if so, could it reach the

kind of incredible speeds

necessary to enable it to travel through time?

Human beings have dreamed of traveling through

time for hundreds of years.

In 1905, Albert Einstein proved

that time travel is, in fact,

achievable based on his famous

theory of relativity.

Since then, scientists have been

trying to develop a time machine

that can travel both forward and

backwards in time.

And some propose that the best

way to manipulate time is by

creating an artificial time

vortex, or wormhole.

Even NASA is developing warp

drive technology that would

allow us to exceed the speed of light.

And in so doing, travel into the future.

Now I'm back in the States, in Pittsburgh.

I still have some questions

about time travel and there is

no one better to ask about time

travel than Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist.

So I'm really looking forward to meet with one of the greatest

minds in ufology today.

Stanton, such a great time to

see you again.

How are you?

Just fine.

It's been a while.

So, thank you very much for

taking the time to meet with me

and answer some of my questions.

Not at all.

I actually went to

Poland to look at the Henge.

Because, allegedly, the Nazis

were working on this bell-shaped

weapon called Die Glocke...

at which they were able to

manipulate space and time.

Clearly something went on, but what was it?

There's no question

that German technology was outstanding.

And before the Second World War, certainly, they were ahead of

the United States in many areas of technology.

What is your opinion on the feasibility or

the reality of time travel?

Well, there are areas where we know it works,

as a matter of fact.

As you get close to the speed of

light, time slows down.

How much?

Well, it depends on how close you get.

In Albert Einstein's

theory of relativity, time

dilation refers to the passage

of time being affected by the

laws of nature, such as

differences in gravity and velocity.

This phenomenon may be best

illustrated by comparing an

atomic clock on Earth with

another one in space- even

though both clocks function

perfectly, the clock in space

will run slower, due to the

bending of space-time by the

forces of gravity.

So I wanted to know- since time

travel is theoretically

possible- if the Nazi

scientists could have achieved

it during World War II.

Could you surmise that this

bell shape or cone shape, in any

way, shape or form, is conducive

to manipulating time and space?

Whether it has anything to do with time or not, I don't know.

I like the symmetry of it.

Mm-hmm.

Because I expect anything with time is symmetrical.

If Hitler's guys had figured out how to build a time machine or

an antigravity machine or some

entirely new physical craft,

they would have used it during the war.

I cannot believe that Hitler

would have withheld it.

What if they

couldn't complete what they were

working on and it just so

happened to be that America... Grabbed it.

I've seen no signs of that.

However, we finally got 156

pages of top-secret UMBRA

NSA UFO documents.

You can read one sentence per page.

Everything else is whited out.

Interesting. Okay... CIA... yeah, the CIA

released a bunch of blacked-out documents.

Some of them have six words you can read, some eight words you can read.

And people said, "There's no cover-up."

Well, there is a cover-up.

It's very hard to say anything

is impossible.

Well, Stan, this has been a great honor.

I've learned a lot.

And, uh, your contribution here has been invaluable.

So thank you very much.

It's been my pleasure.

I've learned something, too.

And I'll let you know how all of this goes.

Good.

All right?

I'm in Southern California about

to meet with Dr. Bob Frisbee, a

retired aerospace engineer, and

we're about to conduct some wind

tunnel tests on a bell-shaped object.

I want to find out whether or

not a vehicle with this shape is

suitable for flight, because we

still don't know if Die Glocke

was designed to be some kind of spacecraft.

Giorgio, welcome to the NASA wind tunnel

at Cal State L.A.

This is awesome.

So this is where the hard-core

science takes place.

Absolutely.

I've been all over

the place, investigating this

idea that the Nazis built this

strange weapon called

Die Glocke, or "The Bell," and

that this might have had something to do with a time-

travel device, which I find very intriguing.

In order to do something like time travel,

you're going to need very large

energies and masses, and very

odd configurations, in order to

make the equations of general

relativity come out the way you want them to.

You touched upon

something that I've always found

very interesting, because, yes,

it is conceivable that time

travel is possible.

But the energy requirements for

that would be so vast that even

if we combined all of our

available energy resources

today, is it correct that we

don't have the energy resources

to actually fire up the engine?

To make something like

this work requires an enormous

amount of mass to warp space-time.

So if we somehow had an enormous

amount of negative energy,

we could warp space in just the

directions you need, and the way

you need, to do things like

antigravity, warp drives,

wormholes and, potentially, time machines.

I love it.

In this investigation, when I

read up that maybe the Nazis

were working on a bell-shaped

energy device that some have

proposed might have been a time

machine or something like that,

my mind, you know, was blown.

What do you think?

Well, first of all,

Germany invented relativity and

quantum mechanics.

So, intellectually, they had

more than enough horsepower to

actually come to grips with the

science of something like this.

The idea of time

travel being possible is very

exciting to me, and the concept

that a person could travel not

only through space but also

through time is even more incredible.

But was the mysterious

bell-shaped object simply known

as Die Glocke really capable of

space travel, and, if so, could

it reach the kind of incredible

speeds necessary to enable it to

travel through time?

That is what I needed to find out.

Giorgio, I'd like to

introduce you to Dr. Wu.

Hello.

Pleasure to meet you; how are you?

Welcome to the wind tunnel lab, gentlemen.

This is... this is great.

Yeah. Let me... So this is it.

Yeah.

Today we're gonna measure the aerodynamic drag.

Now, of course, in the vacuum of space, drag is not

an issue, but a craft that's also designed to maneuver on

Earth would need to be aerodynamically sound.

Let's fire her up.

I'm meeting with retired aerospace engineer Dr. Bob Frisbee.

I've asked him to test a

stupa-shaped object in a wind

tunnel to determine if it is

aerodynamically suitable for flight.

If we can prove that the object

could not only fly but be

capable of reaching the

incredible speeds necessary for

space travel, then it's just

possible that the German

Die Glocke might actually have

been capable of time travel.

Let's fire her up.

And now we increase

the air speed, you can see the

drag will be increasing.

Where do we see the air speed?

Right here.

Aha.

As Dr. Wu increases the air

speed within the chamber, a drag

sensor measures how efficient

the object is in terms of

aerodynamic resistance.

We almost reach 100 miles per hour.

Okay.

I think that's... we have more than enough

information.

And so now we can look at the data.

Yeah.

When Dr. Wu showed

us his evaluation of how the

bell-shaped design performed in

the wind tunnel, I expected that

it would produce a lot of drag,

because it doesn't look anything

like a rocket ship or the sleek

aerodynamic designs associated

with most flying machines.

So what does this mean?

How efficient is this shape?

It's a comparison with other shapes like a

spherical ball.

The wind tunnel test

indicated that the bell shape is

about twice as efficient as a sphere.

I'm surprised how

aerodynamically sound the stupa

actually is.

Even though it... looks

like it would be terribly

inefficient, it's better than

the simplest sphere... yeah.

I mean, that is, uh, very interesting.

That is surprising, for sure.

If the tests prove anything,

it's that appearances can be deceiving.

In May of 2014, an aerospace

company called SpaceX unveiled

Version 2 of their Dragon

spaceship, designed for travel

into deep space.

And this ultramodern spacecraft,

like the Nazi Bell, bears a

striking similarity to ancient stupas.

Dr. Frisbee, thank you very much

for answering some of my questions.

And those wind tunnel tests were

incredible.

This is a way of opening

the possibilities as to what can

be going on in the world and the

universe around us.

Those are the only

questions that we ask because

this is something where people

have forgotten that science, in

the end, is an adventure.

I now know that the design for

Die Glocke is aerodynamically

sound, but what I still don't

know is whether or not the

device was ever constructed.

To find out the answer,

I traveled to Kecksburg,

Pennsylvania, the sight of

a now-famous UFO crash involving

a mysterious bell-shaped object.

On December 9, 1965, a brilliant

fireball streaking across the

sky was witnessed by thousands

of people as it flew over

Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Several hundred people saw it

come crashing through the trees

into a deep ravine.

These witnesses also reported

that the U.S. Army later arrived

on the scene, placed the object

on a flatbed truck and quickly

took it away.

To this day, the military has

denied that this event even took place.

My first stop is to meet with

Stan Gordon, a local researcher

who is an expert in the 1965

Kecksburg crash.

This is, um, one of the photos I took in

the mid-1980s.

This is where we found what appeared to be a pattern of tree damage.

These were actually all

physically knocked down.

Okay.

Okay, now, as you went down into the wooded area and

followed the trajectory, well, then you found the fact that,

as this thing moved along,

it knocked tops of trees out.

Some trees were broken in the

same direction.

Right.

Clearly, there was something

there, and there were reports in the news?

Well, the newspaper

accounts are quite interesting.

The story made the national

news, so it was picked up

by not only the local papers,

but it was also picked up

by the national media as well.

This was from our local Greensburg Tribune-Review.

Look at that.

"Unidentified Flying Object Falls Near Kecksburg."

"Army Ropes Off Area."

Interesting, okay.

In your investigations, did you

come across any reports whether

or not there were any people

inside this object?

Because in Roswell's story, we

always hear how they carried

away bodies and that one of

those bodies, allegedly, was alive.

So is there anything similar in

this particular case?

There have been some

very interesting accounts which

suggest the possibility that

someone or something may have

been inside the object.

Mm-hmm.

What do you, personally, think

the Kecksburg object was?

Well, I can tell you

there's various theories on it.

It ranges from being a very

sophisticated power source to

some type of antigravity machine

and to, in fact, a time machine.

A time machine?

Is it at all possible that

Die Glocke, or the Nazi Bell,

and the UFO that crashed in the

woods at Kecksburg are one and the same?

And if so, what happened to it?

And could there be an extraterrestrial connection?

I'm in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania with local

researcher Stan Gordon, about to

look at a full-sized model of

the UFO that allegedly crashed here in 1965.

According to reports, it looks

very much like the German

Die Glocke, and I can't wait to

see it with my own eyes.

So this is it, huh?

That's correct, yes.

Wow.

Let's go take a little closer look.

Sure.

I mean, this is pretty interesting.

Is this... I mean, tell me the story behind this.

Is this a... an exact replica of

the eyewitness report?

Well, this is the mock-up of the object that

reportedly fell here, back in 1965.

The Kecksburg UFO

looks almost identical to the

designs and drawings I've seen

of the so-called "Nazi Bell."

And it's sort of blowing my mind.

So what can you tell me about

the size reference to the

eyewitness reports in comparison

to this replica right here?

Well, according to eyewitnesses who were up in the

ravine and were standing only several feet away from the

object, they estimate that this

thing was approximately, maybe,

about ten to 12 feet, maybe more, in length.

And about eight to ten feet in diameter.

And the popular term

here is that this is called

"The Acorn," right?

That's correct.

Well, one eyewitness said it

looked like somebody took liquid

metal and poured it into an

acorn-shaped mold.

There's no rivets.

There's no seams.

There's no weld marks.

There's no fuselage, no windows.

No doors.

And on that raised-up back area, what really caught his

attention, and others, were these unusual markings that were

raised up off the surface and looked more like symbols than letters.

All right, I'll just

take some... some pictures for my archives.

This has a perfect acorn shape.

So can you actually take me to the crash site?

I can take you up to the general area where a lot of

the activity took place that evening.

Sounds great.

All right.

So let's go to the crash site.

Yeah?

Okay.

I know this is crazy

to think about, but did a time

machine built by the Nazis

during World War II really

crash-land here in Kecksburg in 1965?

I mean, it's highly speculative

and I'm not saying that this is

what happened, but just the

possibility is mind-blowing and

I can't wait to see the area

where this thing touched down.

So this was the general area?

Right. It-it's deep inside the wooded area.

So you're telling me it's down there.

In this general... Right, yeah.

Okay.

Let's see if I can...

And so, from what direction did

it approach?

Well, the object came

in, roughly, from that general

area, went out towards the

mountains, out towards Laurelville.

Then the object turned and began

to track back towards Kecksburg,

went a little further out, and

made another turn and then came down into the wooded ravine.

So multiple turns?

Yes.

I mean, this would indicate to me that it wasn't

necessarily a flat-out crash, but maybe they were looking for

a clearing to land safely.

Well, this object, whatever it was, apparently had

made an unintentional landing.

It crashed through the woods.

It knocked down trees and then

it ended up down into the bottom

of the ravine.

That's interesting.

I would love to go a little bit

closer to see if we maybe can

spot some of those knocked-over trees.

Maybe they still exist.

So, in this place, you're

telling me that there used to be

trees that were cut off in some

sort of a pattern where the

thing allegedly came in?

Well, we had found what

appeared to be a pattern of trajectory.

We had found some trees that were knocked down in the same direction.

Other trees with the tops knocked out.

This is quite fascinating.

After visiting the site of the

Kecksburg UFO crash, I'm

fascinated by the eyewitness

accounts of what appeared to be

an acorn-shaped spacecraft...

...and its similarity to the

designs for Die Glocke- that

were discovered after the war.

Is it possible that the

technologies the Nazis were

developing toward the end of

World War II were based on

ancient Buddhist and Hindu texts?

And was their plan to construct

a time travel device made

possible by reverse-engineering

extraterrestrial technology?

Two facts are certain:

Dr. Hans Kammler, the man in

charge of the Nazi Die Glocke

project, disappeared after the war.

And in 1965, thousands of people

witnessed a UFO that they

described as looking almost like

an upside-down bell- one that

changed direction like someone was inside, steering it.

Although a connection between

these two events has not yet

been proven, I am sure that, one

day, we will achieve some type of technology that will allow us

to travel not only through space, but perhaps also through time...

in search of aliens.
