1
00:00:01,428 --> 00:00:03,710
NARRATOR: Chile is home
towards whole deserts.
2
00:00:03,798 --> 00:00:05,742
And most mysterious desert.
3
00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:07,893
CHILDRESS: We have huge,
giant figures
4
00:00:07,981 --> 00:00:09,471
carved into the desert.
5
00:00:09,859 --> 00:00:13,054
ERICH VON DANIKEN: On the ground
are gigantic stone plates,
6
00:00:13,142 --> 00:00:14,770
really gigantic.
7
00:00:14,929 --> 00:00:16,688
NARRATOR:
It has ancient traditions
8
00:00:16,775 --> 00:00:19,203
of visitors from the sky.
9
00:00:19,402 --> 00:00:20,984
NICOLAS BERASAIN:
Our ancestors
10
00:00:21,072 --> 00:00:23,919
used to tell stories
about beings
11
00:00:24,007 --> 00:00:25,960
who came from outer space.
12
00:00:26,048 --> 00:00:30,296
NARRATOR: And it is considered
a hotbed of modern UFO reports.
13
00:00:30,384 --> 00:00:33,898
GEORGE NOORY: Chile has one of
the highest rates of UFO sightings
14
00:00:33,986 --> 00:00:35,484
in the world.
15
00:00:35,873 --> 00:00:38,828
You got two hot spots,
and they're separated.
16
00:00:38,916 --> 00:00:41,601
It's probably very large,
because this is 35 miles away.
17
00:00:41,689 --> 00:00:43,867
I've never seen anything
like this in my life.
18
00:00:44,261 --> 00:00:46,085
NARRATOR:
Now that the Chilean government
19
00:00:46,173 --> 00:00:48,630
is openly examining UFOs,
20
00:00:48,976 --> 00:00:52,187
could they uncover
an extraterrestrial presence
21
00:00:52,275 --> 00:00:54,521
that has been interacting
with our planet
22
00:00:54,609 --> 00:00:56,492
for thousands of years?
23
00:00:56,774 --> 00:00:58,557
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
Extraterrestrial visitation
24
00:00:58,644 --> 00:01:00,496
to Chile never ended.
25
00:01:00,584 --> 00:01:01,919
That's one
of the most amazing things
26
00:01:02,006 --> 00:01:03,903
‐ I've ever seen in my life.
‐ It is truly amazing.
27
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:06,007
These are the cases
where I think
28
00:01:06,095 --> 00:01:08,460
there's really something to the
ancient astronaut theory.
29
00:01:08,554 --> 00:01:09,944
‐ I do, too.
30
00:01:11,569 --> 00:01:13,326
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
31
00:01:13,695 --> 00:01:15,195
in the universe.
32
00:01:16,335 --> 00:01:19,585
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
33
00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:23,310
It demands
we question everything
34
00:01:23,405 --> 00:01:25,390
we have ever been taught.
35
00:01:25,921 --> 00:01:28,937
The evidence is all around us.
36
00:01:29,295 --> 00:01:33,164
The future is
right before our eyes.
37
00:01:33,414 --> 00:01:36,125
We are not alone.

Season 15 Episode 03
40
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:45,280
Episode Title:
"Destnation Chile"
41
00:01:47,742 --> 00:01:50,109
The Atacama Desert, Chile.
42
00:01:51,031 --> 00:01:53,519
2013.
43
00:01:55,686 --> 00:01:56,953
An autonomous rover
44
00:01:57,041 --> 00:01:59,320
traverses the barren landscape,
45
00:01:59,539 --> 00:02:02,132
carrying out
a two‐ week NASA‐ funded mission
46
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:04,859
to collect soil samples
from below the surface
47
00:02:04,947 --> 00:02:07,347
of the parched desert floor.
48
00:02:09,445 --> 00:02:11,010
This region of Chile
49
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:13,539
is the driest place
on the planet.
50
00:02:13,874 --> 00:02:16,640
Some parts
have not experienced rainfall
51
00:02:16,735 --> 00:02:18,701
for centuries,
making it
52
00:02:18,789 --> 00:02:20,562
one of the few locations
on Earth
53
00:02:20,649 --> 00:02:23,898
that mimics conditions
on Mars.
54
00:02:24,952 --> 00:02:26,493
MICHAEL MASTERS:
Because the Atacama Desert
55
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:29,736
is so similar
to the landscape seen on Mars,
56
00:02:29,824 --> 00:02:34,822
it's a very useful research tool
for astrobiologists,
57
00:02:34,910 --> 00:02:38,121
those interested in studying
how life exists
58
00:02:38,238 --> 00:02:40,884
in such difficult environments
59
00:02:40,972 --> 00:02:44,294
and how it relates
to the Mars landscape.
60
00:02:44,381 --> 00:02:47,839
NARRATOR:
On February 28, 2019,
61
00:02:47,927 --> 00:02:51,082
the results of the mission
are finally published.
62
00:02:51,222 --> 00:02:54,304
While surveying
this seemingly lifeless terrain,
63
00:02:54,391 --> 00:02:57,978
the rover discovered evidence
of microbial life
64
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:00,855
thriving just below the surface.
65
00:03:00,972 --> 00:03:02,519
MASTERS:
Microbial life
66
00:03:02,638 --> 00:03:05,345
in the Atacama is very unique,
67
00:03:05,527 --> 00:03:08,928
and life has existed
where it really shouldn't be.
68
00:03:09,244 --> 00:03:12,651
Anybody who's been
to the Atacama Desert of Chile
69
00:03:12,739 --> 00:03:15,147
knows that it's pretty unusual.
70
00:03:15,725 --> 00:03:17,744
There's some very old
life‐ forms there
71
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:20,655
you don't find so easily
in other parts of the world.
72
00:03:21,043 --> 00:03:23,170
(whooshing)
73
00:03:25,168 --> 00:03:26,546
NARRATOR:
Scientists believe
74
00:03:26,724 --> 00:03:29,171
that future subsoil sampling
on Mars
75
00:03:29,259 --> 00:03:34,186
could reveal similar and
perhaps even identical microbes.
76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,608
Is it possible that there is
life in the Atacama Desert
77
00:03:37,696 --> 00:03:39,671
that matches life on a planet
78
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:42,550
140 million miles from Earth?
79
00:03:42,921 --> 00:03:46,231
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
80
00:03:46,436 --> 00:03:48,624
the desert soil
contains evidence
81
00:03:48,768 --> 00:03:52,268
of a more profound
extraterrestrial connection.
82
00:03:52,671 --> 00:03:55,991
We have figures that have been
carved into the desert
83
00:03:56,093 --> 00:04:00,038
similar to what we see
in Nazca in Peru.
84
00:04:00,905 --> 00:04:03,415
And they're huge, giant figures
85
00:04:03,502 --> 00:04:05,757
to be seen from the sky.
86
00:04:06,154 --> 00:04:08,069
NARRATOR:
The Nazca Lines in Peru
87
00:04:08,180 --> 00:04:11,950
lie just 500 miles north
of the Atacama Desert.
88
00:04:12,038 --> 00:04:14,655
They are the most famous
geoglyphs on Earth,
89
00:04:14,885 --> 00:04:16,786
with over 1,100 glyphs
90
00:04:16,874 --> 00:04:20,913
spread across 155 square miles.
91
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:26,557
But few people are aware
that Chile's Atacama Desert
92
00:04:26,675 --> 00:04:30,475
is home to nearly five times
as many geoglyphs as Nazca,
93
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:33,486
with more than 5,000
covering an area
94
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:36,757
of 90,000 square miles.
95
00:04:37,459 --> 00:04:40,899
MICHAEL BRADBURY: The Atacama
Desert has one of the most,
96
00:04:40,987 --> 00:04:44,403
if not the most, harsh
environments on the planet.
97
00:04:44,584 --> 00:04:47,918
So, for civilizations years ago,
98
00:04:48,194 --> 00:04:51,129
these glyphs that were engraved
into the ground,
99
00:04:51,225 --> 00:04:54,049
you know
that was not an easy task.
100
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,085
TSOUKALOS:
There is no way
101
00:04:56,173 --> 00:04:59,280
that anyone
would go through this effort
102
00:04:59,391 --> 00:05:02,724
unless something very compelling
103
00:05:02,811 --> 00:05:05,143
and something very real
104
00:05:05,230 --> 00:05:07,729
happened to our ancestors.
105
00:05:07,816 --> 00:05:11,733
And so I think it's time
that we pay closer attention
106
00:05:11,975 --> 00:05:15,507
to what our ancestors
really tried to describe.
107
00:05:16,413 --> 00:05:18,944
NARRATOR: Of the thousands
of geoglyphs in Chile,
108
00:05:19,032 --> 00:05:22,544
one towers above the rest.
109
00:05:22,632 --> 00:05:26,194
The Atacama Giant
measures 390 feet,
110
00:05:26,282 --> 00:05:29,257
30 feet longer
than a football field.
111
00:05:29,374 --> 00:05:34,225
It sits on an ancient hillside
known as Cerro Unitas.
112
00:05:34,717 --> 00:05:36,616
VICTOR HIDALGO:
When you walk by this,
113
00:05:36,749 --> 00:05:38,827
you cannot really see the shape.
114
00:05:38,915 --> 00:05:41,163
This has been designed,
constructed,
115
00:05:41,251 --> 00:05:43,169
you know,
to be seen from above.
116
00:05:43,257 --> 00:05:45,358
CHILDRESS:
And like at Nazca,
117
00:05:45,446 --> 00:05:48,309
seems to be a signal
to the sky gods
118
00:05:48,397 --> 00:05:51,483
and those who are flying
above the desert.
119
00:05:51,902 --> 00:05:54,132
So, who are they signaling?
120
00:05:54,297 --> 00:05:56,873
It would seem to be
extraterrestrials.
121
00:05:57,725 --> 00:06:00,356
WILLIAM HENRY: The Atacama
Giant has these lines coming out
122
00:06:00,452 --> 00:06:01,699
of the top of his head.
123
00:06:01,787 --> 00:06:03,327
We have to ask the question.
124
00:06:03,561 --> 00:06:07,247
Are these the beings
that the geoglyph makers
125
00:06:07,335 --> 00:06:09,709
were trying to communicate with?
126
00:06:09,982 --> 00:06:12,334
NARRATOR: Could the figures
depicted in the Atacama
127
00:06:12,422 --> 00:06:16,173
and at Nazca represent
extraterrestrial visitors,
128
00:06:16,385 --> 00:06:19,134
as ancient astronaut theorists
contend?
129
00:06:19,443 --> 00:06:20,693
And if so,
130
00:06:20,781 --> 00:06:22,574
could both the Nazca Lines
131
00:06:22,662 --> 00:06:25,347
and the Atacama glyphs
serve a larger,
132
00:06:25,435 --> 00:06:27,767
more interconnected purpose,
133
00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:31,936
having been made long before
any national borders existed?
134
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:35,233
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
135
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,529
and suggest they could mark
an ancient flight path.
136
00:06:39,616 --> 00:06:42,365
CHILDRESS: So, when you look
at all of these glyphs in Peru
137
00:06:42,452 --> 00:06:45,702
and Chile
and the vast desert spaces
138
00:06:45,789 --> 00:06:48,455
and all
of the UFO activity there,
139
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:53,575
is it possible that Chile
is really this UFO avenue?
140
00:06:53,856 --> 00:06:56,879
Is it possible that Chile
is this flight path
141
00:06:56,967 --> 00:06:58,465
for extraterrestrials,
142
00:06:58,567 --> 00:07:00,442
an alien alley?
143
00:07:00,715 --> 00:07:01,926
BILL BIRNES:
It's interesting
144
00:07:02,013 --> 00:07:04,095
when you look at the Nazca Lines
145
00:07:04,182 --> 00:07:06,431
and the Atacama geoglyphs
together.
146
00:07:06,518 --> 00:07:08,224
These are symbols
147
00:07:08,311 --> 00:07:10,226
that are best observed
from the sky,
148
00:07:10,313 --> 00:07:12,228
and they explode in numbers
149
00:07:12,315 --> 00:07:15,315
as you move south
to the Atacama.
150
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:17,734
Could this suggest
that these symbols
151
00:07:17,821 --> 00:07:19,736
were some sort of aerial guide,
152
00:07:20,048 --> 00:07:23,239
guiding ancient aliens
on their way into Chile?
153
00:07:23,326 --> 00:07:24,798
And if so,
154
00:07:24,885 --> 00:07:28,218
this is exactly how
the runway lights work
155
00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:30,422
on modern airports.
156
00:07:32,665 --> 00:07:34,459
RODRIGO FUENZALIDA (translated):
I think what we are seeing today
157
00:07:34,546 --> 00:07:37,087
is what was seen in the past.
158
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:42,688
Because Chile is honestly like
a kind of arrival point.
159
00:07:45,757 --> 00:07:47,922
NARRATOR:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
160
00:07:48,126 --> 00:07:51,390
what makes the Atacama geoglyphs
even more compelling
161
00:07:51,495 --> 00:07:53,994
is the fact
that Chile also boasts
162
00:07:54,316 --> 00:07:59,362
the highest number of reported
UFO sightings in the world.
163
00:08:01,030 --> 00:08:02,634
(translated):
There is a huge wave,
164
00:08:02,722 --> 00:08:05,471
a large quantity
of UFO sightings.
165
00:08:05,626 --> 00:08:09,241
Quite simply,
there is not one family in Chile
166
00:08:09,367 --> 00:08:12,907
whose member has not had
a UFO experience.
167
00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:17,304
For some reason, Chile has one
of the highest rates
168
00:08:17,392 --> 00:08:20,360
of UFO sightings in the world.
169
00:08:20,448 --> 00:08:22,572
Nobody really understands why,
170
00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:24,759
but it seems to be in a region
171
00:08:24,846 --> 00:08:27,321
that there's a cluster
of UFO sightings.
172
00:08:27,946 --> 00:08:30,688
NICK POPE:
Chile is such a vast country,
173
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:34,821
it encompasses a wide range
of different climates.
174
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:37,225
There are jungles,
there are deserts,
175
00:08:37,313 --> 00:08:38,399
there are forests.
176
00:08:38,487 --> 00:08:41,486
There's huge biodiversity, too,
177
00:08:41,601 --> 00:08:44,211
and diversity
in human populations.
178
00:08:44,306 --> 00:08:46,513
There are modern,
first world cities
179
00:08:46,601 --> 00:08:48,266
and indigenous peoples.
180
00:08:48,454 --> 00:08:49,790
If we're being visited,
181
00:08:49,885 --> 00:08:52,711
everything that you would want
to see on planet Earth
182
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,868
is there in one nation.
183
00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:57,295
NARRATOR:
Could there be
184
00:08:57,383 --> 00:09:00,430
a link between Chile's
high number of UFO reports
185
00:09:00,518 --> 00:09:04,368
and the ancient geoglyphs
found in the Atacama Desert?
186
00:09:04,977 --> 00:09:06,217
Incredibly,
187
00:09:06,304 --> 00:09:09,188
the Chilean government itself
has suggested
188
00:09:09,276 --> 00:09:11,540
a connection
between the country's ancient
189
00:09:11,643 --> 00:09:13,321
and modern mysteries.
190
00:09:15,935 --> 00:09:17,935
NARRATOR:
San Clemente, Chile
191
00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:21,555
2008.
192
00:09:24,391 --> 00:09:26,488
Chile's national tourism board
193
00:09:26,575 --> 00:09:29,711
establishes
a designated UFO trail,
194
00:09:30,922 --> 00:09:32,577
a 19‐ mile route
195
00:09:32,664 --> 00:09:36,247
through one of the most infamous
UFO hot spots in the country,
196
00:09:36,334 --> 00:09:38,583
and it leads
to an enigmatic site
197
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:41,274
known as El Enladrillado.
198
00:09:42,196 --> 00:09:44,861
This megalithic platform
was constructed
199
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:47,698
from 233 volcanic blocks,
200
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:50,637
each weighing upwards
of ten tons.
201
00:09:50,774 --> 00:09:53,556
HIDALGO: Now,
the Enladrillado is a plateau
202
00:09:53,643 --> 00:09:56,680
about 800 meters in diameter.
203
00:09:56,768 --> 00:09:59,540
It is not a place
of easy access.
204
00:09:59,733 --> 00:10:03,650
You have to go on horseback
for a couple days
205
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:05,276
in order to get there.
206
00:10:05,493 --> 00:10:09,930
There is the belief that
it was related to UFO landing.
207
00:10:10,508 --> 00:10:12,258
VON DANIKEN:
Also on the ground
208
00:10:12,346 --> 00:10:14,602
are gigantic stone plates,
209
00:10:14,690 --> 00:10:18,357
really gigantic,
and it might very well be that
210
00:10:18,501 --> 00:10:21,610
Enladrillado was something
like a space port
211
00:10:21,743 --> 00:10:23,532
of the extraterrestrials.
212
00:10:24,297 --> 00:10:27,014
NARRATOR: Is there both
ancient and modern evidence
213
00:10:27,102 --> 00:10:30,134
that Chile has been visited
by extraterrestrials
214
00:10:30,221 --> 00:10:31,970
for thousands of years?
215
00:10:32,057 --> 00:10:34,196
And if so, why?
216
00:10:35,102 --> 00:10:38,290
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
217
00:10:38,378 --> 00:10:40,769
an indigenous tribe
that once existed
218
00:10:40,857 --> 00:10:43,110
in the southernmost reaches
of the country
219
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:46,988
and their mysterious rituals.
220
00:10:50,582 --> 00:10:53,157
NARRATOR:
Terra Del Fuego, Chile.
221
00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:56,422
1919.
222
00:10:58,165 --> 00:11:00,790
NARRATOR: German missionary
turned anthropologist
223
00:11:00,877 --> 00:11:02,292
Martin Gusinde
224
00:11:02,379 --> 00:11:05,256
arrives in Chile's
southernmost outpost
225
00:11:05,344 --> 00:11:08,774
just 200 miles north
of Antarctica.
226
00:11:09,648 --> 00:11:11,368
He is met by native islanders
227
00:11:11,456 --> 00:11:13,493
known as the Selk'nam.
228
00:11:13,723 --> 00:11:16,222
But by the time
of Gusinde's arrival,
229
00:11:16,309 --> 00:11:20,649
the once thriving tribe had been
almost completely wiped out.
230
00:11:51,797 --> 00:11:53,843
HIDALGO: Something else
that happens to them
231
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:56,220
is that many of them
were taken back to Europe
232
00:11:56,307 --> 00:12:01,017
to be displayed
in what was called human zoos.
233
00:12:01,104 --> 00:12:03,895
So, unfortunately,
it was a genocide.
234
00:12:03,982 --> 00:12:07,297
It was a genocide
against this tribe.
235
00:12:07,492 --> 00:12:08,813
NARRATOR:
Before the tribe's
236
00:12:08,901 --> 00:12:11,172
tragic
and complete annihilation,
237
00:12:11,260 --> 00:12:15,438
Gusinde took a remarkable series
of photos of these people.
238
00:12:16,125 --> 00:12:19,736
In 2015,
his work was finally published
239
00:12:19,831 --> 00:12:22,413
in The Lost Tribes
of Tierra del Fuego,
240
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:26,292
documenting the Selk'nam's
unique ceremonies and rituals.
241
00:12:26,379 --> 00:12:29,547
Fuenzalida speaking Spanish...
242
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,131
RODRIGO FUENZALIDA (translated):
The Selk'nam were a marvelous culture.
243
00:12:32,218 --> 00:12:34,711
They had various rituals,
244
00:12:34,895 --> 00:12:36,649
and a pantheon of gods
245
00:12:36,765 --> 00:12:39,280
would make them perform
a series of ceremonies
246
00:12:39,368 --> 00:12:40,577
where they would dress up
247
00:12:40,665 --> 00:12:43,256
representing these gods
from the sky.
248
00:12:43,344 --> 00:12:45,478
The creator gods of the Selk'nam
249
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:47,980
actually descended from the sky
250
00:12:48,125 --> 00:12:51,024
and gave knowledge
to the local population.
251
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:54,248
These pictures were taken
in black and white,
252
00:12:54,336 --> 00:12:57,883
but in real life,
the entire body is covered
253
00:12:57,971 --> 00:13:00,554
in bright red and white,
254
00:13:00,642 --> 00:13:04,069
and it is signifying
the fire of heaven
255
00:13:04,157 --> 00:13:06,399
according to the traditions.
256
00:13:06,487 --> 00:13:08,152
So you have to wonder
what it means,
257
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,196
the fire of heaven
that descended from the sky.
258
00:13:11,298 --> 00:13:13,088
Now, you combine this
259
00:13:13,176 --> 00:13:16,477
with the representations
of the elongated skulls
260
00:13:16,565 --> 00:13:20,360
and the very strange‐ looking
costumes that they have,
261
00:13:20,475 --> 00:13:23,391
and right there
you have a connection
262
00:13:23,478 --> 00:13:25,352
to extraterrestrial visitation.
263
00:13:25,562 --> 00:13:28,235
Fuenzalida speaking Spanish...
264
00:13:28,323 --> 00:13:29,988
(translated):
Where the Selk'nam are located,
265
00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:33,719
there have been records of UFOs
in that whole area.
266
00:13:37,075 --> 00:13:40,688
And if that area is active
in UFO sightings,
267
00:13:40,961 --> 00:13:43,244
then it is possible
that we are thinking
268
00:13:43,331 --> 00:13:46,998
what the Selk'nam must have been
thinking in that time.
269
00:13:47,219 --> 00:13:49,374
LUKES: They were
definitely communicating
270
00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:51,002
with other worlds,
271
00:13:51,089 --> 00:13:54,255
with mythological creatures
and things.
272
00:13:54,342 --> 00:13:56,336
And so there very well
could have been a component
273
00:13:56,424 --> 00:13:59,217
of them having had
extraterrestrial encounters
274
00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:03,657
and now trying to communicate
and continue that communication.
275
00:14:04,586 --> 00:14:07,727
NARRATOR: Could the clothing,
body paint and rituals
276
00:14:07,814 --> 00:14:10,140
of the Selk'nam people
have been inspired
277
00:14:10,228 --> 00:14:13,781
by interaction
with extraterrestrial visitors?
278
00:14:14,156 --> 00:14:16,132
CHILDRESS:
They dressed in all kinds
279
00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:18,701
of strange costumes.
280
00:14:18,789 --> 00:14:22,078
They had very specific rituals
281
00:14:22,187 --> 00:14:26,312
that tied them to the land
and to the stars.
282
00:14:26,749 --> 00:14:29,711
When you look at some
of these strange costumes
283
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:31,416
with‐ with strange antennas
284
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:32,992
coming out of the side
of their head,
285
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,328
you have to wonder,
286
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:37,215
are they imitating
extraterrestrials
287
00:14:37,302 --> 00:14:38,586
with their costumes?
288
00:14:40,972 --> 00:14:43,248
NARRATOR: As far as
ancient astronaut theorists
289
00:14:43,336 --> 00:14:44,601
are concerned,
290
00:14:44,689 --> 00:14:46,453
compelling evidence exists
291
00:14:46,603 --> 00:14:49,615
that alien visitation occurred
in this part of the world
292
00:14:49,703 --> 00:14:51,625
not only in the distant past
293
00:14:51,713 --> 00:14:54,117
but continues even today.
294
00:14:57,492 --> 00:14:59,492
NARRATOR:
Santiago, Chile
295
00:15:00,289 --> 00:15:03,640
August 17, 1985.
296
00:15:05,046 --> 00:15:06,577
Sábado Gigante,
297
00:15:06,664 --> 00:15:08,617
the longest running variety show
298
00:15:08,705 --> 00:15:10,203
in television history,
299
00:15:10,291 --> 00:15:12,250
interrupts
its scheduled broadcast
300
00:15:12,346 --> 00:15:14,344
with an urgent report.
301
00:15:14,984 --> 00:15:17,086
At about 2:00 p. m.
Or something like that,
302
00:15:17,174 --> 00:15:19,562
Sábado Gigante
cuts the transmissions,
303
00:15:19,656 --> 00:15:22,242
take the cameras outside
to the parking spot,
304
00:15:22,330 --> 00:15:25,171
and they spot
this incredible object
305
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,194
in the sky, clear blue sky.
306
00:15:27,282 --> 00:15:30,285
We're talking
about a silver‐ looking object.
307
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:03,432
NARRATOR:
The Santiago UFO,
308
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,811
as it became known, was seen
309
00:16:05,899 --> 00:16:08,231
from Antofagasta to Concepción,
310
00:16:08,319 --> 00:16:10,760
a distance of about 1,200 miles
311
00:16:10,848 --> 00:16:13,409
or almost half
of the country's coastline.
312
00:16:13,667 --> 00:16:16,708
I was perhaps ten years old
at the time that we saw it.
313
00:16:16,827 --> 00:16:18,742
And you could hear on the radio,
314
00:16:18,908 --> 00:16:21,074
you know,
broadcast from the navy
315
00:16:21,162 --> 00:16:23,725
telling you that they have not
been able to identify.
316
00:16:23,813 --> 00:16:25,342
They don't know what it was.
317
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:28,200
It was one of those cases
that really make you wonder,
318
00:16:28,288 --> 00:16:29,678
could it be an extraterrestrial?
319
00:16:29,789 --> 00:16:31,078
Yes, it could have been.
320
00:16:31,935 --> 00:16:33,499
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists
321
00:16:33,587 --> 00:16:36,325
point out that
this mass sighting was reported
322
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:38,953
along what could be
a specific flight path
323
00:16:39,048 --> 00:16:41,964
that has been documented
since antiquity.
324
00:16:42,592 --> 00:16:45,374
A route marked
by Peru's Nazca Lines,
325
00:16:45,694 --> 00:16:48,012
the geoglyphs of the Atacama,
326
00:16:48,288 --> 00:16:51,460
the megalithic platform
of El Enladrillado,
327
00:16:51,999 --> 00:16:55,060
and reaching as far south
as Tierra del Fuego,
328
00:16:55,148 --> 00:16:57,650
the homeland
of the Selk'nam people.
329
00:16:58,552 --> 00:17:01,468
The indications
are that this UFO activity
330
00:17:01,656 --> 00:17:03,988
has been going on in Chile
331
00:17:04,115 --> 00:17:08,286
for‐ for centuries
if not thousands of years.
332
00:17:36,641 --> 00:17:38,681
NARRATOR:
The Santiago UFO incident
333
00:17:38,909 --> 00:17:41,659
is only the tip
of a massive iceberg
334
00:17:41,778 --> 00:17:43,359
of well‐ documented reports
335
00:17:43,446 --> 00:17:45,835
regarding
inexplicable aerial phenomena
336
00:17:45,923 --> 00:17:47,796
observed in Chile.
337
00:17:48,592 --> 00:17:52,272
But if these sightings represent
otherworldly encounters,
338
00:17:52,455 --> 00:17:55,905
do extraterrestrials have
a special interest in this area
339
00:17:55,993 --> 00:17:59,358
that some now call Alien Alley?
340
00:18:06,256 --> 00:18:08,623
NARRATOR:
Pampa Lluscuma, Chile
341
00:18:09,503 --> 00:18:12,600
April 25, 1977.
342
00:18:12,748 --> 00:18:14,191
4:15 A.M.
343
00:18:14,303 --> 00:18:15,622
We see an 4:15 a.m.nary range
344
00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:18,894
NARRATOR: Corporal Armando Valdes
patrols the northern desert
345
00:18:18,981 --> 00:18:21,480
with a seven‐ man military unit.
346
00:18:21,819 --> 00:18:25,129
Suddenly,
their lookout bursts into camp.
347
00:18:25,385 --> 00:18:28,480
He has just witnessed
two bright violet lights
348
00:18:28,616 --> 00:18:32,566
descend from the sky
and land 500 yards away.
349
00:18:34,207 --> 00:18:37,204
Corporal Valdes was the leader
of this patrol,
350
00:18:37,352 --> 00:18:39,605
and he approached these objects.
351
00:18:41,462 --> 00:18:43,044
What happened next
352
00:18:43,131 --> 00:18:46,297
is shrouded in confusion
and mystery.
353
00:18:46,384 --> 00:18:49,508
His men saw him almost disappear
354
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:51,512
into the light.
355
00:18:51,602 --> 00:18:53,752
He recalls getting disoriented,
356
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,860
confused, perhaps passing out.
357
00:18:59,895 --> 00:19:02,121
And next thing he knew,
358
00:19:03,488 --> 00:19:05,153
he reappeared again.
359
00:19:06,154 --> 00:19:08,527
But the strange thing was
360
00:19:08,614 --> 00:19:11,951
that he had five days' growth
of beard.
361
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:15,992
And his watch showed a date
362
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:18,769
five days into the future.
363
00:19:19,754 --> 00:19:23,880
Had he somehow been gone
five days,
364
00:19:23,968 --> 00:19:26,863
and yet to all the rest
of the people in the patrol,
365
00:19:27,091 --> 00:19:29,410
it was just perceived
as a few minutes?
366
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:31,714
Speaking Spanish...
367
00:19:32,012 --> 00:19:34,428
RODRIGO FUENZALIDA (translated):
We were able to interview four members
368
00:19:34,515 --> 00:19:35,941
of Valdes's squad.
369
00:19:36,029 --> 00:19:39,371
We interviewed Armando Valdes,
and everyone corroborated
370
00:19:39,517 --> 00:19:42,738
that his experience
had actually occurred.
371
00:19:43,482 --> 00:19:45,481
NARRATOR: Immediately
following the incident,
372
00:19:45,568 --> 00:19:48,109
Corporal Valdes
returned to his men
373
00:19:48,196 --> 00:19:49,902
on the verge of collapse
374
00:19:49,989 --> 00:19:52,739
and uttered an ominous phrase:
375
00:19:54,012 --> 00:19:57,283
"You don't know who we are
or where we come from,
376
00:19:57,427 --> 00:19:59,606
but we will be back soon."
377
00:20:01,177 --> 00:20:03,059
Based on the growing number
of reports
378
00:20:03,147 --> 00:20:05,239
since this mysterious encounter,
379
00:20:05,327 --> 00:20:09,012
many believe that they were
true to their word.
380
00:20:10,898 --> 00:20:14,582
There are so many UFO sightings
in Chile.
381
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,263
It's a hotbed of UFO activity.
382
00:20:17,466 --> 00:20:20,606
And even just
in the last eight years,
383
00:20:20,739 --> 00:20:24,562
there have been
some significant UFO sightings
384
00:20:24,649 --> 00:20:27,880
that the Chilean government
has actually admitted to.
385
00:20:28,069 --> 00:20:30,025
2012.
386
00:20:30,112 --> 00:20:32,733
The Chilean Air Force documented
387
00:20:32,821 --> 00:20:36,071
five lights forming
strange, geometric patterns
388
00:20:36,244 --> 00:20:37,655
in the night sky.
389
00:20:37,743 --> 00:20:41,015
And then in 2015,
eight mysterious orbs
390
00:20:41,165 --> 00:20:45,186
flew in an oval formation
above Santiago.
391
00:20:45,288 --> 00:20:47,376
Just recently in 2019,
392
00:20:47,463 --> 00:20:50,838
several bright red objects
were seen
393
00:20:50,925 --> 00:20:54,717
streaking over the skies
of southern Chile.
394
00:20:54,804 --> 00:20:58,179
Chile is a place where
there's a tremendous amount
395
00:20:58,266 --> 00:20:59,555
of UFO activity,
396
00:20:59,642 --> 00:21:02,397
and fortunately,
the Chilean government
397
00:21:02,503 --> 00:21:06,587
is totally aboveboard
on these sightings.
398
00:21:07,436 --> 00:21:11,850
We see an extraordinary
range of cases in Chile,
399
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:17,815
from close encounters, through
to pilot encounters with UFOs.
400
00:21:18,772 --> 00:21:21,452
NARRATOR: Why have UFO
sightings persisted in Chile
401
00:21:21,539 --> 00:21:25,456
in such abundance for hundreds,
if not thousands of years,
402
00:21:25,543 --> 00:21:28,542
as ancient astronaut theorists
believe?
403
00:21:28,629 --> 00:21:32,421
I think the reason
why Chile to this day
404
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:35,341
is considered
a hot spot of UFO activity
405
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:38,385
is because Chile features
one of the biggest
406
00:21:38,472 --> 00:21:42,810
uninhabited geographical
locations on Earth.
407
00:21:45,396 --> 00:21:48,471
CHILDRESS: The northern
part is desolate desert
408
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,473
that's virtually unpopulated.
409
00:21:51,662 --> 00:21:56,945
And the southern part of Chile
is fjords and glaciers.
410
00:21:57,033 --> 00:22:00,241
It's also hardly
populated down there, too.
411
00:22:00,328 --> 00:22:04,825
There are all kinds
of hiding spots.
412
00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:07,539
Vacant places on the map
413
00:22:07,626 --> 00:22:10,637
where absolutely no one goes.
414
00:22:10,725 --> 00:22:14,104
It's an ideal place to hide.
415
00:22:14,192 --> 00:22:17,779
It'd be an ideal place
for an underground base.
416
00:22:18,836 --> 00:22:20,189
Speaking Spanish...
417
00:22:20,277 --> 00:22:23,269
(translated): Anything that
enters our territory can hide.
418
00:22:23,357 --> 00:22:26,819
Centuries can pass
and no one will discover it.
419
00:22:28,564 --> 00:22:31,397
NARRATOR:
Are extraterrestrials hiding in,
420
00:22:31,484 --> 00:22:35,154
or even below, the uninhabited
regions of Chile?
421
00:22:37,737 --> 00:22:40,236
And if so, is it their intention
422
00:22:40,409 --> 00:22:42,408
to merely observe humanity
423
00:22:42,495 --> 00:22:44,785
or could there be
something more tangible
424
00:22:44,872 --> 00:22:47,558
attracting them
to this part of the world?
425
00:22:49,151 --> 00:22:53,066
Even highly advanced
extraterrestrial civilizations
426
00:22:53,159 --> 00:22:55,105
will have resource needs.
427
00:22:55,317 --> 00:22:58,183
With Chile, one wonders
if it isn't copper.
428
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,683
They have the biggest reserves
anywhere on the planet.
429
00:23:02,264 --> 00:23:05,402
There are also
vast supplies of lithium
430
00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:10,119
and staggering amounts
of natural resources, too.
431
00:23:12,182 --> 00:23:16,173
TSOUKALOS: It is not surprising
to me that this whole strip
432
00:23:16,261 --> 00:23:18,105
that's present‐ day Chile,
433
00:23:18,193 --> 00:23:20,761
that just goes
3,000 miles straight,
434
00:23:20,849 --> 00:23:23,640
that this would be
a hotbed of UFOs,
435
00:23:23,728 --> 00:23:27,145
because that area of the planet
436
00:23:27,390 --> 00:23:31,167
is huge with raw materials
and resources.
437
00:23:31,255 --> 00:23:35,605
So, if any extraterrestrials
would arrive on planet Earth,
438
00:23:35,798 --> 00:23:40,549
that area of the planet would
be blinking on their instruments
439
00:23:40,636 --> 00:23:45,417
with, "Hey, come here, check out
this area of the planet."
440
00:23:46,159 --> 00:23:47,667
Speaking Spanish...
441
00:23:48,018 --> 00:23:50,100
(translated):
We have data, concrete data
442
00:23:50,187 --> 00:23:53,062
of UFO appearances in mines,
443
00:23:53,706 --> 00:23:55,792
in hydroelectric power plants,
444
00:23:56,003 --> 00:23:58,608
including such cases
as in Lake Colbún
445
00:23:58,696 --> 00:24:01,153
in the area of San Clemente.
446
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,366
The UFO landing and takeover
of the hydroelectric power plant
447
00:24:05,453 --> 00:24:08,372
caused a vast quantity
of blackouts.
448
00:24:12,498 --> 00:24:15,346
When these lights would appear,
the locals and the farmers
449
00:24:15,434 --> 00:24:18,350
would call them
the "light robbers"... why?
450
00:24:18,438 --> 00:24:20,917
Because supposedly
the locals would attribute
451
00:24:21,005 --> 00:24:23,370
the blackouts to these UFOs.
452
00:24:27,464 --> 00:24:31,048
NARRATOR: Have extraterrestrials
mined this region's vast deposits
453
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:34,657
of natural resources
since antiquity?
454
00:24:34,745 --> 00:24:37,815
Or more recently,
tapped into energy generated
455
00:24:37,902 --> 00:24:40,566
from Chilean power plants?
456
00:24:40,761 --> 00:24:44,780
Perhaps definitive answers
are just over the horizon.
457
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:47,775
With more and more
unidentified flying objects
458
00:24:47,863 --> 00:24:50,402
invading the country's
airspace every year,
459
00:24:50,505 --> 00:24:53,587
unlike the United States,
the Chilean government
460
00:24:53,745 --> 00:24:56,078
is actively and openly
461
00:24:56,292 --> 00:24:58,672
searching for answers.
462
00:25:04,107 --> 00:25:06,107
NARRATOR:
Santiago, Chile.
463
00:25:07,232 --> 00:25:09,282
1990.
464
00:25:12,430 --> 00:25:15,893
NARRATOR: After a 17‐ year
rule, Chilean dictator
465
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:18,993
Augusto Pinochet
steps down,
466
00:25:19,665 --> 00:25:23,454
ushering in a period
of reform across the country.
467
00:25:24,852 --> 00:25:28,866
With a new spirit of government
transparency and social freedom,
468
00:25:28,953 --> 00:25:31,952
the media, as well
as military personnel,
469
00:25:32,117 --> 00:25:37,638
begin to openly investigate
Chile's unrivaled UFO phenomena.
470
00:25:37,977 --> 00:25:39,844
HIDALGO:
Now, when it came to UFOs,
471
00:25:39,932 --> 00:25:42,139
this is not something
new in Chile.
472
00:25:42,227 --> 00:25:46,399
In Chile, we have had sightings
long before Pinochet.
473
00:25:46,704 --> 00:25:48,907
So, after Pinochet,
474
00:25:49,008 --> 00:25:50,749
when the democracy comes back,
475
00:25:50,837 --> 00:25:53,307
the military forces
were making an effort
476
00:25:53,394 --> 00:25:56,094
to change the public opinion
about them.
477
00:25:56,820 --> 00:25:58,227
NARRATOR:
Following the country's
478
00:25:58,315 --> 00:26:00,727
newfound openness
to UFO sightings,
479
00:26:00,891 --> 00:26:03,664
control tower personnel
observed a flurry
480
00:26:03,752 --> 00:26:07,438
of mysterious aerial activity
in Chilean airspace.
481
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:11,658
Unidentified objects were
flying dangerously close
482
00:26:12,121 --> 00:26:14,204
to Chilean aircraft.
483
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,876
I do believe it's
our right to know exactly
484
00:26:17,964 --> 00:26:20,750
what we are seeing,
what our military is seeing
485
00:26:20,838 --> 00:26:22,415
all over the world.
486
00:26:22,941 --> 00:26:25,571
NARRATOR: Several notorious
near‐ miss incidents
487
00:26:25,675 --> 00:26:27,993
elevated Chile's UFO activity
488
00:26:28,171 --> 00:26:32,938
from harmless curiosity to
an issue of national security.
489
00:26:33,532 --> 00:26:36,415
As a result, in 1997,
490
00:26:36,554 --> 00:26:38,469
the Chilean government
instituted
491
00:26:38,557 --> 00:26:41,821
the Committee on Studies
of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena,
492
00:26:41,930 --> 00:26:43,837
or CEFAA.
493
00:26:44,156 --> 00:26:49,180
CEFAA started as a result
of pilot sightings.
494
00:26:49,290 --> 00:26:53,033
Pilots, navigators,
radar operators
495
00:26:53,157 --> 00:26:55,321
were reporting UFOs.
496
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,680
Some of these objects came
dangerously close to aircraft.
497
00:26:59,899 --> 00:27:02,954
The Chilean government
decided to act.
498
00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:04,532
So, this is unique.
499
00:27:04,686 --> 00:27:09,081
It's government, it's military,
and importantly,
500
00:27:09,169 --> 00:27:11,501
it's the scientific community
as well.
501
00:27:11,589 --> 00:27:14,964
All working together
with one common aim...
502
00:27:15,309 --> 00:27:18,350
find out what
these sightings are.
503
00:27:18,437 --> 00:27:19,977
Who's responsible?
504
00:27:20,064 --> 00:27:21,649
What's going on?
505
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:24,790
Speaking Spanish...
506
00:27:24,878 --> 00:27:26,291
HUGO CAMUS (translated):
CEFAA gets reports
507
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:29,540
from all citizens from the
far north down to Antarctica.
508
00:27:30,532 --> 00:27:33,368
And these reports
are made via our website.
509
00:27:34,258 --> 00:27:36,639
In the last 22 years
of investigation,
510
00:27:36,727 --> 00:27:39,467
we have received
almost 900 reports.
511
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,580
Our process
and our manner of looking
512
00:27:41,668 --> 00:27:43,639
at these phenomena
has been very rigorous
513
00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:46,397
because we owe it
to our community.
514
00:27:47,483 --> 00:27:51,577
Instead of secrecy and cover‐ ups
and conspiracies,
515
00:27:51,681 --> 00:27:54,530
we have an atmosphere
of openness
516
00:27:54,618 --> 00:27:56,408
where people are almost
encouraged
517
00:27:56,496 --> 00:27:58,248
to come forward and report.
518
00:27:58,506 --> 00:28:01,623
The default position of CEFAA
519
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:05,163
after their investigations is
to publish,
520
00:28:05,275 --> 00:28:07,065
release the case files,
521
00:28:07,231 --> 00:28:09,855
tell the people
what you've discovered.
522
00:28:10,381 --> 00:28:12,654
This is astonishing
523
00:28:12,741 --> 00:28:14,194
and refreshing.
524
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:18,327
NARRATOR:
CEFAA insists that governments
525
00:28:18,414 --> 00:28:21,079
around the world should take
a similar approach
526
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:24,750
to accelerate our understanding
of these aerial anomalies
527
00:28:24,837 --> 00:28:27,123
and reveal their true origin.
528
00:28:29,369 --> 00:28:31,631
Speaking Spanish...
529
00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:33,926
(translated):
To us, it is important
530
00:28:34,014 --> 00:28:36,011
that more organizations
or institutions
531
00:28:36,098 --> 00:28:39,681
or countries get involved
in the study of this phenomena.
532
00:28:40,411 --> 00:28:42,459
The phenomenon clearly exists.
533
00:28:42,699 --> 00:28:44,616
We don't know exactly
if there is only
534
00:28:44,704 --> 00:28:46,786
one explanation for its origin.
535
00:28:47,009 --> 00:28:49,444
Without a doubt, however,
when other countries
536
00:28:49,532 --> 00:28:52,077
or other states create
institutions like ours,
537
00:28:52,165 --> 00:28:56,165
they contribute to the security
of airspace operations.
538
00:28:57,559 --> 00:28:59,756
We have more good,
539
00:28:59,844 --> 00:29:02,695
documented video evidence
out of Chile
540
00:29:02,783 --> 00:29:05,648
than almost any other nation
I can think of.
541
00:29:06,295 --> 00:29:09,289
NARRATOR:
On March 13, 2012,
542
00:29:09,495 --> 00:29:11,785
the Chilean government
unveiled footage
543
00:29:11,873 --> 00:29:13,875
of a curious event
caught on camera
544
00:29:13,963 --> 00:29:18,547
above the prestigious El Bosque
Air Force Base in Santiago.
545
00:29:18,937 --> 00:29:21,390
Crowds were gathered
to celebrate the change
546
00:29:21,477 --> 00:29:25,172
of Chilean Air Force command
in 2010,
547
00:29:25,481 --> 00:29:27,396
recording fighter jets
548
00:29:27,484 --> 00:29:30,069
performing acrobatic maneuvers
overhead.
549
00:29:31,569 --> 00:29:33,442
After investigating the footage,
550
00:29:33,530 --> 00:29:37,614
CEFAA concluded
that the jets were not alone.
551
00:29:38,508 --> 00:29:42,786
The El Bosque was one that
CEFAA was very excited about.
552
00:29:43,047 --> 00:29:45,664
And when
they slowed down the videos,
553
00:29:45,874 --> 00:29:49,746
you could see these objects
zipping by at incredible speeds.
554
00:29:49,834 --> 00:29:52,432
Speaking Spanish...
555
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,152
(translated):
This case acquired notoriety
556
00:29:54,239 --> 00:29:55,830
once the videos were viewed.
557
00:29:55,956 --> 00:29:58,739
In these videos,
there was a dark object
558
00:29:58,827 --> 00:30:02,151
that crossed the lines of flight
of these squadron formations.
559
00:30:03,089 --> 00:30:04,267
POPE:
Now this is where
560
00:30:04,355 --> 00:30:05,918
it gets really intriguing,
561
00:30:06,006 --> 00:30:08,463
because the official conclusion
562
00:30:08,551 --> 00:30:11,317
was that this UFO was traveling
563
00:30:11,405 --> 00:30:15,621
at a speed
of around 4,000 miles an hour.
564
00:30:18,283 --> 00:30:20,778
NARRATOR: Since the objects
in the El Bosque footage
565
00:30:20,866 --> 00:30:23,490
only reveal themselves
for a brief moment,
566
00:30:23,578 --> 00:30:27,699
definitive answers
remain elusive to investigators.
567
00:30:28,754 --> 00:30:30,582
But just a few years later,
568
00:30:30,670 --> 00:30:32,335
the Chilean government
would release
569
00:30:32,423 --> 00:30:34,848
an even more incredible video.
570
00:30:39,990 --> 00:30:43,334
November 11, 2104.
571
00:30:43,931 --> 00:30:46,053
Just outside of Santiago,
572
00:30:46,207 --> 00:30:50,082
Chilean Navy officers aboard
an Airbus Cougar helicopter
573
00:30:50,302 --> 00:30:54,209
are testing an infrared FLIR
high‐ definition camera.
574
00:30:55,373 --> 00:30:58,695
Suddenly, the camera captures
a strange object
575
00:30:58,868 --> 00:31:03,414
flying alongside them
at an altitude of 4,500 feet.
576
00:31:04,426 --> 00:31:07,647
After tracking it for
several minutes, they witness
577
00:31:07,798 --> 00:31:12,202
what appears to be some sort of
discharge coming from the craft.
578
00:31:15,132 --> 00:31:19,007
The Cougar case was a military
helicopter back in 2014
579
00:31:19,094 --> 00:31:21,843
that produced footage
in an infrared camera.
580
00:31:21,930 --> 00:31:25,263
And we're talking
about military equipment.
581
00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:28,558
We're talking about millions
of dollars in equipment.
582
00:31:28,645 --> 00:31:30,560
TAYLOR:
It's nine minutes long
583
00:31:30,647 --> 00:31:32,562
that they have
continuous infrared footage
584
00:31:32,649 --> 00:31:34,064
of this phenomena.
585
00:31:34,151 --> 00:31:35,694
That's really unprecedented.
586
00:31:35,782 --> 00:31:38,522
And if this phenomena
is going on for nine minutes,
587
00:31:38,655 --> 00:31:40,514
we can do analysis on it.
588
00:31:41,441 --> 00:31:43,764
NARRATOR:
UFO researchers consider this
589
00:31:43,852 --> 00:31:47,602
to be one of the most baffling
incidents ever recorded.
590
00:31:48,444 --> 00:31:50,616
Could a deeper analysis
of the footage
591
00:31:50,704 --> 00:31:52,619
provide undeniable proof
592
00:31:52,707 --> 00:31:55,664
that what the Chilean Navy
officers caught on camera
593
00:31:55,752 --> 00:31:57,045
was, in fact...
594
00:31:57,639 --> 00:32:00,218
an alien aircraft?
595
00:32:04,077 --> 00:32:06,077
NARRATOR:
Los Angeles, California.
596
00:32:06,260 --> 00:32:09,967
November 25, 2019.
597
00:32:10,254 --> 00:32:11,877
For more than a decade,
598
00:32:11,969 --> 00:32:14,144
image analyst Michael Bradbury
599
00:32:14,232 --> 00:32:17,373
has examined videos
of alleged UFOs,
600
00:32:17,483 --> 00:32:19,678
looking for any signs
that they could be
601
00:32:19,766 --> 00:32:22,769
something other
than man‐ made aircraft.
602
00:32:24,358 --> 00:32:26,981
Intrigued by
the recently released video shot
603
00:32:27,069 --> 00:32:29,244
from a Chilean Navy helicopter,
604
00:32:29,331 --> 00:32:32,834
he has invited astrophysicist
Dr. Travis Taylor
605
00:32:32,922 --> 00:32:35,381
to join him
and lend his expert opinion
606
00:32:35,469 --> 00:32:37,702
in examining the footage.
607
00:32:40,022 --> 00:32:41,506
TAYLOR:
The Chilean helicopter video
608
00:32:41,593 --> 00:32:45,178
is really intriguing
and fascinating, because...
609
00:32:45,266 --> 00:32:48,389
you have this vehicle,
or phenomena, whatever it is,
610
00:32:48,477 --> 00:32:52,038
and then it starts releasing
some type of material behind it.
611
00:32:52,126 --> 00:32:54,476
So we absolutely need
to understand
612
00:32:54,564 --> 00:32:56,241
what this phenomena is.
613
00:32:56,329 --> 00:32:58,205
All right, here we go.
614
00:33:01,204 --> 00:33:03,670
I'm not going into it
with a belief
615
00:33:03,758 --> 00:33:05,423
that it is or isn't something.
616
00:33:05,661 --> 00:33:07,856
‐ No.
‐ So let's apply our knowledge to it
617
00:33:07,944 --> 00:33:08,992
and see what
we can come up with.
618
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:11,592
Everything I look at,
I look at open‐ mindedly,
619
00:33:11,753 --> 00:33:13,366
you know,
from a standpoint of...
620
00:33:13,454 --> 00:33:15,780
we could be seeing something
special here, you know.
621
00:33:15,877 --> 00:33:18,209
And then again, it could be
a possible bird or a bug.
622
00:33:18,297 --> 00:33:20,746
That's always an option inside
the atmosphere of planet Earth.
623
00:33:20,834 --> 00:33:23,089
‐ That's just the way it is.
‐ So this is from the,
624
00:33:23,176 --> 00:33:25,764
uh, helicopter
not far from Santiago.
625
00:33:25,852 --> 00:33:28,768
‐ Not far. Uh, November of 2014.
‐ Okay.
626
00:33:28,856 --> 00:33:31,434
There's the object,
and it's only visible
627
00:33:31,522 --> 00:33:33,350
in infrared format.
628
00:33:33,437 --> 00:33:34,631
That's really intriguing.
629
00:33:34,719 --> 00:33:37,006
The high‐ def video,
it's like it's not even there.
630
00:33:37,094 --> 00:33:39,014
BRADBURY:
Two ground radar didn't see it.
631
00:33:39,102 --> 00:33:41,491
The radar on the helicopter
could not pick it up.
632
00:33:41,579 --> 00:33:44,420
So super‐ unique
circumstances here.
633
00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:47,271
You got two hot spots,
and they're separated.
634
00:33:47,367 --> 00:33:49,186
‐ You know, that's intriguing.
‐ Well...
635
00:33:49,274 --> 00:33:52,037
it's probably very large,
because this is 35 miles away.
636
00:33:52,125 --> 00:33:53,787
TAYLOR: Now, how do we know
for sure it's 35 miles away?
637
00:33:53,874 --> 00:33:55,622
Based off of the captain
that was flying the...
638
00:33:55,709 --> 00:33:56,706
‐ Okay.
‐ helicopter.
639
00:33:56,793 --> 00:33:57,891
That was his estimate.
640
00:33:57,979 --> 00:34:00,242
I've never seen anything
like this in my life.
641
00:34:01,375 --> 00:34:03,338
NARRATOR:
Michael inverts the image,
642
00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:07,063
so they can examine
the object's shape more closely.
643
00:34:07,609 --> 00:34:08,805
BRADBURY:
What I've done here
644
00:34:08,893 --> 00:34:10,430
is taken the basic infrared,
645
00:34:10,518 --> 00:34:13,906
and I've just kind of flipped it
and adjusted it a little better
646
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:16,428
‐ for clarity purposes.
‐ You can clearly see the shape
647
00:34:16,516 --> 00:34:17,764
‐ of the vehicle...
‐ Right.
648
00:34:17,852 --> 00:34:19,109
Or whatever the thing is.
649
00:34:19,197 --> 00:34:21,670
It's peanut‐ shaped.
Why is it peanut‐ shaped?
650
00:34:21,758 --> 00:34:22,820
BRADBURY:
The pilot,
651
00:34:22,908 --> 00:34:24,672
his description was...
652
00:34:24,791 --> 00:34:26,922
it had a flat body with...
653
00:34:27,010 --> 00:34:29,092
these two, like...
654
00:34:29,438 --> 00:34:32,014
‐ bright lenses or something.
‐ You know, it kind of
655
00:34:32,102 --> 00:34:34,178
does look like two jet engines,
656
00:34:34,266 --> 00:34:35,853
if you're looking at it
from the back, but...
657
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:39,038
the motion on it looks
like it's moving side to side,
658
00:34:39,126 --> 00:34:42,563
and the aspect ratio
doesn't change on the circles.
659
00:34:42,651 --> 00:34:44,342
It's not going into the page...
660
00:34:44,430 --> 00:34:45,380
‐ No.
‐ as it should be.
661
00:34:45,467 --> 00:34:47,037
There's no other structure.
662
00:34:47,125 --> 00:34:48,547
‐ That's the thing.
‐ Yeah.
663
00:34:48,635 --> 00:34:50,008
You would see...
664
00:34:50,096 --> 00:34:52,313
wings, a nose cone.
665
00:34:52,401 --> 00:34:53,892
‐ Right.
‐ You wouldn't just see the engine.
666
00:34:53,979 --> 00:34:56,311
You can look at a aircraft
with a infrared camera,
667
00:34:56,456 --> 00:34:59,420
‐ and you see the structure,
because it's hot. ‐ Right.
668
00:34:59,508 --> 00:35:01,540
‐ You got sun shining on it.
You got, you know, the engine... ‐ Exactly.
669
00:35:01,627 --> 00:35:03,208
Just the mechanics of it
make it hot.
670
00:35:03,296 --> 00:35:04,242
That's what
I'm looking for here is
671
00:35:04,330 --> 00:35:06,233
reflectivity
off of the physical structure,
672
00:35:06,321 --> 00:35:07,612
‐ and it's not there.
‐ And there's nothing.
673
00:35:07,699 --> 00:35:09,780
That kind of throws
that idea out.
674
00:35:10,438 --> 00:35:12,606
NARRATOR:
After isolating the object,
675
00:35:12,694 --> 00:35:14,709
Michael applies color filters
676
00:35:14,797 --> 00:35:17,498
to better define the object's
unique heat signature
677
00:35:17,586 --> 00:35:19,227
for closer analysis.
678
00:35:19,391 --> 00:35:21,458
TAYLOR: Now,
this one is really interesting.
679
00:35:21,625 --> 00:35:22,970
BRADBURY:
This is adjusted, not altered.
680
00:35:23,057 --> 00:35:24,555
TAYLOR:
Sure, I got it.
681
00:35:24,643 --> 00:35:26,172
So you got black is hot here.
682
00:35:26,260 --> 00:35:28,275
‐ Green is an ambient
temperature, I'm assuming. ‐ Yes.
683
00:35:28,362 --> 00:35:29,732
‐ And white is cold.
‐ Correct.
684
00:35:29,820 --> 00:35:32,873
So here's the thing.
There's clearly a field
685
00:35:32,961 --> 00:35:36,732
of cold air around this thing.
That's, uh...
686
00:35:36,820 --> 00:35:38,016
that's baffling.
687
00:35:38,103 --> 00:35:39,594
‐ Baffling.
‐ This thing, it's hot,
688
00:35:39,682 --> 00:35:40,851
‐ and then instantly...
‐ Instantly cold.
689
00:35:40,938 --> 00:35:41,781
...it's cold.
690
00:35:41,869 --> 00:35:43,617
And in nature,
that's not how things work.
691
00:35:43,705 --> 00:35:44,180
No.
692
00:35:44,268 --> 00:35:46,234
There is a different
temperature bubble
693
00:35:46,441 --> 00:35:48,524
around the vehicle than there is
694
00:35:48,612 --> 00:35:50,274
‐ around normal vehicles.
‐ Exactly.
695
00:35:50,362 --> 00:35:53,133
Which suggests
some type of a field,
696
00:35:53,221 --> 00:35:54,221
whatever that means.
697
00:35:54,482 --> 00:35:57,818
Could be, you know, electrical,
magnetic, gravitational.
698
00:35:57,906 --> 00:35:59,790
We just don't know what it is,
but there is some sort of
699
00:35:59,877 --> 00:36:04,170
clear anomaly and some sort
of field around this craft.
700
00:36:04,713 --> 00:36:07,719
The most amazing thing,
from a scientific standpoint,
701
00:36:07,807 --> 00:36:11,682
is some sort of low pressure
or cold area
702
00:36:11,770 --> 00:36:14,570
immediately around whatever
this phenomena is.
703
00:36:14,781 --> 00:36:16,939
And, from a physics standpoint,
704
00:36:17,027 --> 00:36:18,992
we can't really explain
what's causing that.
705
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,016
So, when does it start releasing
the particulates?
706
00:36:24,154 --> 00:36:27,070
It does at about five minutes
into the video.
707
00:36:27,691 --> 00:36:30,065
‐ TAYLOR: So right there. Now,
that's really interesting. ‐ Right here.
708
00:36:30,152 --> 00:36:31,406
TAYLOR:
So it's very hot. Right?
709
00:36:31,494 --> 00:36:33,779
It's saturated black.
Very hot.
710
00:36:33,867 --> 00:36:36,524
BRADBURY: So, again,
in hi‐ def, you can't see it.
711
00:36:36,612 --> 00:36:38,828
TAYLOR: That means it's
a temperature plume.
712
00:36:38,916 --> 00:36:41,749
It's not necessarily
a particulate plume.
713
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:45,792
Like, if you spray out jet fuel
from the back of a plane,
714
00:36:45,879 --> 00:36:48,002
it starts cooling off
almost immediately,
715
00:36:48,089 --> 00:36:49,063
and you even get
ice crystals in it, right?
716
00:36:49,151 --> 00:36:51,238
Absolutely, because it's
affected by the atmosphere.
717
00:36:51,326 --> 00:36:53,533
‐ This thing stays hot.
‐ And it holds its shape.
718
00:36:53,621 --> 00:36:55,813
Which, in itself,
is highly unusual.
719
00:36:56,111 --> 00:36:59,422
‐ It doesn't follow standard
fluid mechanics. ‐ No.
720
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:02,297
TAYLOR: You could try to debunk
this as just an earthly vehicle
721
00:37:02,385 --> 00:37:05,468
all you want to, but I've never
seen any earthly vehicle
722
00:37:05,556 --> 00:37:07,719
that is explained this way.
723
00:37:08,902 --> 00:37:10,586
What on earth
could this thing be?
724
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,258
NARRATOR: The video
analysis suggests to Travis
725
00:37:15,430 --> 00:37:18,844
that this craft possesses
technology that is more advanced
726
00:37:18,988 --> 00:37:21,487
than anything that can be
found on Earth.
727
00:37:22,028 --> 00:37:23,443
TAYLOR:
That's really interesting.
728
00:37:23,531 --> 00:37:25,352
NARRATOR:
Michael completes the analysis
729
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,695
using a variety of metrics.
730
00:37:29,339 --> 00:37:32,881
BRADBURY: This is inverted
infrared, full gamma reduction,
731
00:37:32,968 --> 00:37:34,132
and you've still got
two hot spots.
732
00:37:34,219 --> 00:37:35,508
So, clearly you've got
two hot spots
733
00:37:35,595 --> 00:37:37,906
in your peanut shape,
and they're separated.
734
00:37:38,014 --> 00:37:40,973
You know,
that‐ that's... intriguing.
735
00:37:41,061 --> 00:37:42,143
Looks like a diamond
shape around...
736
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:43,859
BRADBURY:
Looks like a diamond at times.
737
00:37:44,106 --> 00:37:45,937
Clearer in some formats
738
00:37:46,025 --> 00:37:49,025
but not visible
to the naked eye.
739
00:37:49,174 --> 00:37:51,381
Yeah, it could be, like,
two hexagons or two diamonds,
740
00:37:51,469 --> 00:37:53,781
whatever it ends up being.
741
00:37:53,914 --> 00:37:57,211
NARRATOR: Finally,
Michael has one more thing to show Travis
742
00:37:57,299 --> 00:38:00,274
that he feels makes this footage
even more extraordinary.
743
00:38:00,362 --> 00:38:01,736
There's a good look at it
right there.
744
00:38:01,823 --> 00:38:04,159
That is...
that's insane.
745
00:38:10,382 --> 00:38:15,258
NARRATOR: In 2017, the Chilean
government released astonishing footage
746
00:38:15,431 --> 00:38:19,906
of a UFO caught on infrared
camera near Santiago.
747
00:38:23,250 --> 00:38:27,430
After new analysis,
astrophysicist Dr. Travis Taylor
748
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,893
has concluded that this strange
aerial object possesses
749
00:38:30,981 --> 00:38:32,980
capabilities that are
not consistent
750
00:38:33,068 --> 00:38:35,641
with any known human technology.
751
00:38:38,063 --> 00:38:41,586
But as far as image analyst
Michael Bradbury is concerned,
752
00:38:41,755 --> 00:38:43,920
perhaps most incredible of all
753
00:38:44,008 --> 00:38:46,820
is an image that appears
not in the video...
754
00:38:47,055 --> 00:38:50,484
but etched into
the desert floor.
755
00:38:51,445 --> 00:38:56,125
There is a glyph on the ground
that was found in the desert
756
00:38:56,213 --> 00:38:59,713
that has two diamond‐ shaped,
like, objects
757
00:38:59,986 --> 00:39:01,445
with a plume coming out
behind it
758
00:39:01,582 --> 00:39:03,136
that has a line
in the center of it.
759
00:39:03,224 --> 00:39:04,514
‐ TAYLOR: No kidding.
‐ BRADBURY: Yeah.
760
00:39:04,601 --> 00:39:06,844
That is very intriguing.
761
00:39:07,614 --> 00:39:10,067
BRADBURY:
And you see that same structure
762
00:39:10,155 --> 00:39:12,031
that was seen
by the Chilean Navy.
763
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:14,508
They match nearly perfectly.
764
00:39:15,497 --> 00:39:19,414
‐ Just like the phenomena caught
by this Chilean helicopter. ‐ Yes.
765
00:39:19,525 --> 00:39:23,140
Like the diamond things we were
seeing on the, on the infrared. - Yeah.
766
00:39:23,228 --> 00:39:25,727
That's a phenomena right now
we're seeing with our own eyes.
767
00:39:25,815 --> 00:39:29,109
And‐ and we, we see that
somebody else saw it somehow.
768
00:39:29,197 --> 00:39:31,154
How old is the glyph?
769
00:39:31,242 --> 00:39:33,430
Several hundred... if not
thousands... of years old.
770
00:39:33,518 --> 00:39:35,649
So that's really exciting.
771
00:39:35,737 --> 00:39:37,938
BRADBURY: It's no coincidence
that that was found
772
00:39:38,026 --> 00:39:40,649
in the same geographical part
of the world.
773
00:39:40,737 --> 00:39:42,944
TAYLOR: That's,
that's one of the most amazing things
774
00:39:43,063 --> 00:39:43,907
I've ever seen in my life.
775
00:39:43,995 --> 00:39:45,258
It is truly amazing.
776
00:39:45,346 --> 00:39:48,125
These are the cases where
I think there's really
777
00:39:48,213 --> 00:39:49,642
something to the ancient
astronaut theory.
778
00:39:49,729 --> 00:39:51,063
I do, too.
779
00:39:53,610 --> 00:39:55,852
TSOUKALOS: Just because,
thousands of years ago,
780
00:39:55,976 --> 00:39:57,682
people did not have
video cameras
781
00:39:57,770 --> 00:40:00,852
doesn't mean these things
did not exist.
782
00:40:03,411 --> 00:40:08,121
These diamond‐ shaped wedges have
the exact same trail
783
00:40:08,224 --> 00:40:11,571
as we can see in the UFO video.
784
00:40:11,734 --> 00:40:14,108
So is there a connection?
785
00:40:14,256 --> 00:40:18,214
And in my opinion,
as far as Chile is concerned,
786
00:40:18,348 --> 00:40:22,368
there is a connection
between modern UFOs
787
00:40:22,477 --> 00:40:24,938
and ancient craft.
788
00:40:26,291 --> 00:40:29,891
NARRATOR: Could the striking
similarity between an ancient geoglyph
789
00:40:29,979 --> 00:40:32,644
and a craft captured
on an infrared camera
790
00:40:32,818 --> 00:40:36,633
provide compelling evidence
that extraterrestrials
791
00:40:36,721 --> 00:40:40,024
have been present on Earth
for thousands of years?
792
00:40:40,565 --> 00:40:43,164
And if so,
has an alien flight path
793
00:40:43,252 --> 00:40:47,047
been positively identified
in South America?
794
00:40:49,634 --> 00:40:54,218
POPE: There are UFO reports from
the modern industrialized cities,
795
00:40:54,306 --> 00:40:57,473
and there are reports
from the indigenous peoples.
796
00:40:57,561 --> 00:41:01,352
Now, when two completely
different groups see and report
797
00:41:01,462 --> 00:41:04,535
the same thing, this tells me
they're reporting
798
00:41:04,623 --> 00:41:06,506
something tangible and real.
799
00:41:35,334 --> 00:41:38,114
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the vast desert landscape
800
00:41:38,202 --> 00:41:40,534
stretching through Chile
and Peru
801
00:41:40,682 --> 00:41:44,269
is an extraterrestrial outpost
on Earth?
802
00:41:45,213 --> 00:41:48,505
Do the incredible sightings,
curious rituals,
803
00:41:48,593 --> 00:41:51,170
and strange geoglyphs
tell a story
804
00:41:51,258 --> 00:41:54,133
of ongoing alien visitation?
805
00:41:54,864 --> 00:41:58,514
Perhaps as more incredible
footage continues to surface,
806
00:41:58,735 --> 00:42:01,975
it will be revealed
that our alien ancestors
807
00:42:02,111 --> 00:42:06,153
have been among us...
all along.
808
