NARRATOR:
Possessed by demons.

GEORGE NOORY:
The dark side needs

physical bodies
to act and exist in.

NARRATOR:
Tempted by evil.

ROBERT CARGILL: Many people
desire things so badly

that they're willing
to forfeit their immortal soul.

NARRATOR:
And enlisted to the dark side.

They understood that they were
serving darkness.

NARRATOR: If there is good
that exists in the world,

must there also be evil?

Are there negative energies
that permeate the cosmos?

And if so, might the true source
of these dark forces

be extraterrestrial beings?

WILLIAM BRAMLEY: There's good
and evil in the world.

When you look
at all the evidence,

you're gonna find, behind this,

extraterrestrial entities.

NARRATOR:
Since the dawn of civilization,

mankind has credited
its origins to gods

and other visitors
from the stars.

What if it were true?

Did extraterrestrial beings

really help
to shape our history?

And if so, are some
of these beings acting

as dark forces?

NARRATOR: Richard Ramirez,
the "Night Stalker."

Found guilty
of killing 13 people.

He claims to be "a minion
of Satan sent to Earth

to carry out atrocities
for the Devil."

David Berkowitz, "Son of Sam."

Charged with killing six people
and wounding seven others.

He stated that he was
a "soldier in a Satanic army."

Ted Bundy.

Serial killer and rapist.

Arrested in connection
with over 36 murders.

He alleged that something
overtook him

while committing the crimes.

He called it "the entity."

Were these men
simply delusional,

or could their claims

that they were compelled
to violence by dark entities

actually be true?

The idea of otherworldly agents
of good and evil

influencing humans

exists in nearly every culture
throughout the world.

Philosophers, religious scholars
and psychologists

have long debated not only
the existence of,

but also the nature of,
these forces.

Light and dark forces

may be something quite
objective and real.

They may in that sense
be spiritual powers,

uh, the things that are named
as God on the one hand

and Satan and the Devil
and the demons on the other.

JONATHAN YOUNG: Whether we think
of light and dark forces

in metaphysical terms,
that is out there somewhere,

or psychological terms,

there are light and dark forces
of some kind,

and respecting that
is important.

CARGILL:
The majority of humans on Earth

and throughout history believe

that otherworldly beings
are actually agents.

They're doing things
in this world,

either directly to us
or indirectly,

and that they too
are experiencing

a battle or a struggle

and using us as humans as
agents, as proxies if you will,

to fight this battle.

BRAMLEY: There's obviously good
and evil in the world.

I think when you look
at all the evidence of the UFO

and the ancient astronaut
evidence,

you're gonna find, behind this,

entities that were accused
of causing the darkness,

the war, the suffering,
all of that,

were by and large
extraterrestrial entities.

They called them the gods,
uh, in Mesopotamia.

Also in Egypt.

And then that morphed
into angels

and forces of Satan.

Today we call them
extraterrestrials,

but it's really the same thing.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
There's no question in my mind

that good and bad permeates
the entire universe,

that good and bad, yin and yang,
positive‐negative exists

all throughout the known
and the unknown universe.

Good or evil, in my opinion,
also applies

to extraterrestrials themselves.

NARRATOR: Are good and evil
more than just qualities

that exist within an individual?

Could they be tangible forces
that permeate the cosmos?

Perhaps further clues can be
found by examining ancient texts

that describe the unleashing
of dark forces upon the earth.

Mount Helicon, Central Greece.

At the base of this mountain,

sixth‐century‐BC poet
Hesiod claimed

to have made contact
with the nine Muses‐‐

immortal daughters
of the god Zeus,

said to impart knowledge
and art to humans.

Hesiod composed poems under
the guidance of these muses,

including what many consider
his most important work...

the Theogony and the infamous
story of Pandora's box.

CARGILL:
When the Titan, Prometheus,

stole fire from the gods
and gave it to humans,

Zeus wasn't happy about it.

Zeus wanted revenge.

So what he did was
he commissioned Hephaestus

to create Pandora,
the first woman.

So he gave Pandora a pithos,

a jar that contained
all of the evils of the world.

RICHARD RADER: We call it a box,
but in Greek it's a jar,

and she's told,
"Don't open this,"

and of course she opens it up,

and so all these evils
are released into the world.

These evil forces are
sometimes embodied by demons.

Sometimes those demons are gods,

sometimes they are a hybrid mix
of monsters and gods,

but they are the forces
of negative events in the world.

Zeus wanted
to counterbalance the fact

that they had these good things

that had been unfairly, in Zeus'
opinion, given to humans.

So it's an explanation that lays
the existence of evil

at the responsibility
of the deities, of the gods.

BRAMLEY:
Pandora is telling a theme

that people believed
to be true for a long time.

That these gods,
these extraterrestrial gods,

were in control
of human society.

Pandora was an unleashing

of entities or beings to cause
these things to happen.

DAVID WILCOCK:
The box itself might have been

some sort of portal that,
when you opened the box,

you may actually create
a doorway

that a whole variety of nasty
entities, spiritual beings

or extraterrestrial life,
potentially,

was able to fly
into the earth through.

NARRATOR:
Might the story of Pandora's box

be describing the release
of negative beings

upon the earth
by extraterrestrials,

as ancient astronaut
theorists propose?

Could it be that
these dark forces

are actual entities
that infiltrated our world?

FANTHORPE:
If we look into some

of the eastern legends,

we come across beings
like the jinn,

who could on occasion provide
goodness and help

and on other occasions
were like demons

and could provide
all kinds of evil

and all kinds of temptation.

So that's the theory:

that the forces of good
and evil are perhaps

personal beings of some sort.

The jinn are‐are really
of some alternative world,

but they're able to pass
through gateways

and come into our world
to influence us.

So you have to wonder, perhaps,

if the jinn aren't in some ways

some kind
of extraterrestrial force

that's using other dimensions
to appear

and influence us in some way.

NARRATOR: Could it be that
the stories of the jinn

and of Pandora's box
are actually accounts

of extraterrestrials
purposely unleashing

dark forces upon humanity,

as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

And if so,
might this be evidence

that alien entities exist

that are intent
on man's destruction?

Perhaps clues can be found

by examining the beliefs
of a Christian sect

that was denounced

as the Church of Satan

and ultimately exterminated.

KATHLEEN McGOWAN COPPENS:
There is something

about Catharism that becomes
very, very dangerous.

FANTHORPE: The power of good
and the power of evil.

They are looking for recruits.

NARRATOR:
Villerouge‐Termenès Castle.

Languedoc, France.

This medieval fortress,

dating back
to the 13th century AD,

served as the final holdout

of the Christian sect known
as the Cathars.

In 1321,

the last known Cathar perfectus,

Guillaume Bélibaste,

was burned at the stake here

as part of the Holy Inquisition.

SABINA MAGLIOCCO:
The Cathars were

a heretical sect

that developed in Europe
during the Middle Ages.

They are considered
a Christian heresy.

The Cathars saw
all of the things

that happened in the world

as a result of a cosmic struggle

between the forces of good
and the forces of evil.

The forces of God on one hand

and the forces of Satan
on the other hand.

And we human beings
were nothing but pawns

in this cosmic struggle.

McGOWAN:
It was heresy to believe

that there is a force
as strong as God,

and the Cathars
certainly believed that.

The Cathars believed
in an evil force,

a force that was here
to corrupt humans.

The Cathars referred
to this force as Rex Mundi.

Rex Mundi means
the king of the world.

He is essentially
a type of demon.

Rex Mundi will lead you
from your path

with material temptations.

STEPHEN O'SHEA:
The Cathars believed

that there were two great forces

of darkness and light

that collided
at the beginning of time.

And that the good God
remained out there

somewhere in the stars,

but the bad God,
sometimes called the Devil,

called many names,
created matter,

and it trapped
our particles of light

in humanity.

McGOWAN: The Cathars believed
that we are angels

contained within flesh

and that we struggle every day

with remembering
our divine origins,

with remembering

that there are dark forces
that tempt us

away from our spirituality,

and they tempt us
with the physical world.

O'SHEA:
The Cathars believed

that you had to lead a perfect,

an exemplary, aesthetic life

in order to escape this world.

If you didn't,

if you became too involved
in the things of this world,

upon death,
you would be reincarnated.

There was no hell.

Hell is here, hell is on Earth.

FANTHORPE:
The Cathars had very odd ideas

about the human race.

Their ultimate idea of heaven,

or of a celestial end
of the universe,

was that everybody would resume

a spiritual nature

and that all things physical
would go.

CARGILL: Because the Devil
is the‐the ruler

over this physical world,

this perishable world,

he's going to try to exchange

these possessions on this earth,

uh, for things that
are immortal or imperishable‐‐

namely human souls.

And many people desire things
on this earth

so badly that they're willing
to forfeit their immortal soul,

their eternal soul,

and live
under the rule of the Devil

in exchange
for this temporary wealth.

NARRATOR:
Could it be that humans

really are otherworldly beings

trapped in physical bodies,

as the Cathars believed?

And do the dark forces

serve to keep mankind
in physical shackles

here on Earth?

Some ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest that
further evidence can be found

in one of humanity's earliest
creation accounts‐‐

the Mesopotamian epic

known as the Atra‐Hasis.

ERICH VON DANIKEN: We know
from Sumerian cuneiforms

that the gods created humans
as slaves.

Our forefathers
could not understand it.

They believed, erroneously,

that these extraterrestrials
are some gods,

because they came down
from the skies,

they influenced humans,

and they had
supernatural forces.

They were not spirits
or ghosts‐‐

definitely not.

BRAMLEY:
The Mesopotamian creation story

talks about
that there's several elements

that needed to go
into creating this work race

that the extraterrestrial gods
wanted to make.

In order for the body
to function,

you need to attach
a soul to make it work.

WILLIAM HENRY:
The gods fashioned the body

as a sort of prison

that would trap
the divine sparks or souls

of the light beings
in a human form.

One begins to wonder if
this dualistic or hybrid aspect

of humanity
is sort of like a game

to these extraterrestrial gods.

Let's conflict these humans.

Let's put them on this planet.

Let's see what happens.

Humans are essentially
hybrid beings.

We are conflicted beings.

Part of us
is immaterial and light,

and the other part of us
is material and dark.

And it's that constant conflict
between us

that‐that rules our lives

and defines our civilization.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that humans were not only

the creation
of extraterrestrial beings,

but also one deliberately
fashioned

to possess attributes
of both good and evil?

And if so, are the forces
of light and dark

in an epic struggle

to influence
the path of mankind?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

by examining the life

of one of the most controversial
and polarizing figures

in modern history‐‐

Grigory Rasputin.

NOORY:
The dark side needs

physical bodies
to act and exist in.

McGOWAN:
Rasputin would not die.

What would have killed
a normal man did not kill him.

NARRATOR:
Yekaterinburg, Russia.

July 17, 1918.

Members of the deposed
Russian royal family,

Tsar Nicholas
and Tsarina Alexandra Romanov

and their five children,
are awakened

in the middle of the night
by Bolshevik soldiers.

They are led to the basement
of their safe house.

One after the other,

they are executed.

(gunshots)

Rumors spread that their death

was the result of a curse

laid upon them
by the powerful mystic

Grigory Rasputin,

a man who had
been murdered himself

a year and a half prior.

McGOWAN: Rasputin wrote
an open letter to Russia.

And within this open letter
he states,

"If I am murdered
by the royal family

"or by someone related
to the royal family,

"within two years
every member of the royal family

will be dead."

NARRATOR: Just who was
this mysterious figure

known as Rasputin?

And how did he come
to be so infamously associated

with dark powers
from beyond the grave?

Pokrovskoye, Western Siberia.

A comet streaks
across the Russian sky

the evening

of January 23, 1871.

This celestial event

is said to have set the stage

for the birth of Rasputin.

From the, uh, memoir
of Maria Rasputin,

Rasputin's daughter,

she wrote that when he was born,

there were other omens
and portents‐‐

things like a dog
with six legs being born,

babies with deformities,
that kind of thing.

NARRATOR:
From a very early age,

Rasputin displayed
what some believed

to be supernatural powers,

including psychic premonitions
and the ability

‐to heal animals.
‐(horse snorting)

And by the time
he reached adulthood,

he would experience a vision
that would profoundly alter

the trajectory
of his peasant life.

McGOWAN: One day
while plowing his fields,

Rasputin sees a strange light
in the sky,

and out from the middle
of this light

emerges a vision
of the Virgin Mary.

And she doesn't speak to him,

but he watches her gesture
to the horizon

and Rasputin takes this to mean

that he is being told by
the Mother of God that he must

go and find himself
on a spiritual pilgrimage.

And this begins the huge shift
in Rasputin's life.

NARRATOR: But was it
really the Virgin Mary

that appeared to Rasputin?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest

that what Rasputin encountered

was a very different kind

of otherworldly being.

BRAMLEY:
The vision set Rasputin

on his course of then trying

to become a religious monk,

which finally led him
to the czarist family.

This has been
a very consistent thing

throughout all of human history.

People claiming
that they're being guided.

Well, then you have to ask,
well, who's guiding them?

People have made contact.

And it is clear that there is

a definitive extraterrestrial
involvement here.

We have religious‐ized

this understanding.

We have developed a mythology,

a legend around something,

and we have not understood it
correctly.

NARRATOR:
In 1905,

after years of wandering
and developing

a reputation as a healer,

Rasputin was introduced

to the Russian royal family.

HEALEY:
The reason why

the royal family
are interested in Rasputin

is the problem they have
with their only son Alexis,

who is hemophilic.

It becomes very clear

from the earliest visits
to the palace

that Rasputin's prayers,
his gaze,

that psychological penetration

that he's able to help
stop the bleeding.

YOUNG: Rasputin certainly had
a powerful magnetic presence.

He gained great favor
with the royal family,

the czar's family.

Some felt he was
one of the most powerful people

in Russia at the time,
but he also drew

the attention
of powerful rivals,

so he made some major enemies.

McGOWAN:
Rasputin's behavior certainly

became an area of concern
for the nobility.

He was seen to be debaucherous.

He was involved in orgies.

He was a very,
very heavy drinker.

He was often seen battling
with demons out loud

as he walked
through the streets.

NARRATOR:
Rasputin's erratic behavior

would earn him the nickname
"the mad monk."

But might he really
have been functioning

as a vessel
for otherworldly forces?

Forces he had little,

if any, control over?

This whole idea of channeling

essentially implies that you are

a conduit to a different world
or to a different realm,

so then the question arises,

are you in control
of, uh, that conduit

or not?

NOORY: The dark side needs
physical bodies

to act and exist in.

And Rasputin could've
been one of those.

They could've used him.

They could've possessed him.

BRAMLEY:
Rasputin really almost comes

across as really being a pawn
in a much bigger game.

And that's a bigger game that's
connected to extraterrestrials.

And that's one
of the amazing things about it.

NARRATOR: On the night
of December 16, 1916,

Grigory Rasputin
was lured to the home

of Prince Felix Yusopov.

Yusopov and his co‐conspirators

were convinced that Rasputin

was set to destroy
the royal family

and was being led
by forces of darkness.

HEALEY:
Yusupov offers Rasputin cakes

that he has laced with cyanide

and sweet wine
that also is poisoned.

Felix Yusupov becomes anxious

because Rasputin hasn't died

despite consuming what he thinks

are prodigious amounts
of‐of cyanide.

So he makes an excuse,
goes upstairs

to talk
to the other conspirators

and‐and gets a gun from them.

He comes back downstairs

‐and then he shoots him.
‐(gunshot)

And he thinks
that he's killed him.

Rasputin, however,
is still alive.

And he crawls out of the cellar

and out into the courtyard,

where he's bleeding profusely
onto the snow.

Then they got really panicked
and they actually

shot him through
the head as well.

They beat his body
way beyond the point

that somebody should have died,

then they tie him up

and they throw him
into the river

and his body was found

frozen solid
in the ice of the river,

and it showed that he had

managed to wrestle
out of his shackles

inside the river.

McGOWAN:
Rasputin would not die.

What would have killed
a normal man

did not kill him.

This raises
a very interesting question.

Was Rasputin somehow protected?

NARRATOR:
Could it be that there

were extraterrestrial
dark forces

working through Rasputin

and possibly protecting him,

as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

Might these same forces have led

to the assassination
of the Russian royal family‐‐

an outcome that Rasputin
had prophesied?

If so, are there
other humans on Earth

that serve as foot soldiers
for an otherworldly cause?

Perhaps evidence of this

can be found by exploring

what was happening
behind the scenes

during one of mankind's
darkest hours.

They understood that
they were serving darkness.

CHILDRESS:
They were totally absorbed

with trying to make contact

with extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR:
Genghis Kahn.

Vlad the Impaler.

Adolf Hitler.

Joseph Stalin.

Many of history's
most powerful leaders

have been accused
of making a pact

with dark forces
in exchange for power.

The idea of a pact
with the Devil

seems to be worldwide.

And there are
many stories of those

who have made such a pact

and then had
their life of wealth

and power and sexual pleasure.

Today we don't talk about making
a deal with the Devil

as much as we talk
about making pacts

with extraterrestrial
civilizations.

This is a‐a retooling
of a very ancient idea,

but it may in fact take us
back to the original source

and the original truth
of these stories

of deals with the Devil
or other nefarious beings.

NARRATOR: Have we historically
misinterpreted

stories of encounters
with demonic forces?

And could these entities
actually be extraterrestrial,

as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

Wewelsburg Castle,
Northwest Germany.

In the crypt of the north tower,

12 pedestals
surrounding a gas pipe

meant to feed an eternal flame

stand as a testament
to the occult leanings

of Heinrich Himmler
and the Nazi SS.

And on the marble floors of
the circular Hall of SS Generals

is the mystical symbol
of a Black Sun.

Wewelsburg Castle was acquired
in 1933 by Himmler.

He intended to make that the
spiritual center of the world.

The Black Sun symbol symbolized
an invisible sun or a dead sun,

and consequently it was believed

that there was hidden power
that resided in that,

that could be tapped,

that would link you into
a completely different source

of energies from the ordinary
ones that you would get.

O'SHEA: By tapping into a dark
force, you have more power.

If you think about necromancy,
black magic, alchemy,

the black arts,

you're trying to tap
into the dark forces

to accrue more power.

And of course, having power

from some telluric
earthly dark force

would make you unvanquishable.

Nazi Germany

was an occult society.

They were seeking contact.

They were seeking the secret
power to gain control,

because they worshipped
what was called the Black Sun‐‐

the darkness.

They understood that
they were serving darkness.

Particularly within the SS,

they were totally absorbed
with trying to make contact

with hidden entities,
extraterrestrials.

Even they used a medium
to contact other worlds.

NARRATOR:
It is well known

that high‐level members
of the Nazi Party

participated in magic ritual

and extraterrestrial
contact efforts.

However, the Allies
were also said

to have employed psychics,
magicians and channelers

to assist the war effort.

The Allies also made use
of what you might call

psychic magical, uh, warfare,

and some of it was done
at the highest level.

Churchill, in particular,

was very much involved
into that.

Churchill, of course,
had been initiated

as a Druid in 1908.

He was into the occult thing.

There was more psychics
and occultists, et cetera,

on the British
government's payroll

than that of any other
government

except the German government,

'cause Churchill decided
that was very important.

He literally recruited a whole
team of psychics and occultists

and put them on the payroll,

like Aleister Crowley.

NARRATOR:
Aleister Crowley was considered

the world's
most infamous occultist

and claimed to have studied
the secret teachings

of the ancient Egyptians.

Aleister Crowley
was a British occultist

who's considered
the wickedest man alive.

He was important to human
history because he is said

to have given Winston Churchill
that famous "V" sign.

"V for victory"
is what we think it means,

but in Crowley's world

it's a s... ancient symbol
that was given to Churchill

to help defeat Nazism

and to counteract the power
of the swastika.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that both the Allied forces

and the Nazi SS
were attempting to receive help

from otherworldly sources?

If so, did World War II
serve as a battle

between extraterrestrial forces

of light and dark?

Perhaps evidence of this
can be found

by further examining
the magic rituals

of Aleister Crowley.

WILCOCK: He got very interested

in what you could
essentially call

black magic and Satanism.

It doesn't look human.

It looks more extraterrestrial.

NARRATOR
Rome, Italy.

November 6, 2014.

Vatican officials announce
a pastoral emergency

due to a rise
in occult activity,

such as the use
of Ouija boards

and séances.

They caution
that the spiritual realm

is very real
and that these games

may have unintended
consequences.

Similar warnings
concerning the danger

of trying to summon dark forces

can be found throughout history,

and in 1918,

the infamous occultist
Aleister Crowley

claimed to be in contact
with a dark entity

that he was actually able
to put a face to.

FITZGERALD: Aleister Crowley
conducted some rituals

in which he came into contact
with a being called Lam.

He believed this was what,
as he called it,

an interdimensional being.

But he never
wrote anything about Lam,

which is curious,
'cause he wrote a great deal

about some of his other rituals.

It could be that it frightened
him and he didn't

want to encourage other people
to go down that stage.

NOORY:
What was he looking at?

Where did that creature
come from?

Who knows?
But it doesn't look human.

It looks more extraterrestrial.

CHILDRESS:
Lam looks very much

like a Grey alien.

And in some ways he looks like
one of the Atenists,

like Akhenaten.

Or their children,
with large, extended heads.

So you have to ask yourself,
is this Lam

actually some Grey alien
who's appeared to Crowley,

and have these Grey aliens

appeared throughout history?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
through his ritual practices,

Aleister Crowley made contact

with an extraterrestrial entity
called Lam?

Some ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

and claim further evidence
can be found

by examining the magical rituals

that coincided
with the beginning

of the age of UFOs.

Pasadena, California.

1946.

In a mansion
on Millionaire's Row,

rocket scientist and founder

of Jet Propulsion Laboratories
Jack Parsons

and Scientology founder
L. Ron Hubbard

dabble in the magical rituals

of Aleister Crowley.

Jack Parsons is arguably

the most controversial
and strange figure

in the history
of the American space program.

He found out about the work
of Aleister Crowley

and the secret society
known as O. T. O.,

or Ordo Templi Orientis,

and Parsons got very interested

in what you could
essentially call

black magic and Satanism.

Then comes along the science
fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

L. Ron Hubbard moved in
with Jack Parsons,

and together they started to do

this elaborate magical ceremony.

Between January and March 1946,

Jack Parsons and Ron Hubbard

were conducting these rituals.

Crowley certainly
didn't authorize them

to do the rituals.

The one thing he did say
was to advise people

not to do his rituals unless
they were properly prepared.

He was not happy
with them doing them.

NARRATOR: Some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

that by conducting the rituals

without understanding
the consequences,

Hubbard and Parsons
inadvertently ushered in

the UFO age.

Apparently the same latitude
line of Pasadena, California,

if you take it
all the way around the earth,

you've got the Roswell crash

which happens
the very next year, 1947,

and many other UFO sightings
and crashes

that took place
all over the world.

It was as if Parsons and Hubbard
were walking alongside a tarp

that was hanging down vertically

and they had a box‐cutter knife

and slit holes in the tarp,

and these holes become
like portals

that allow extraterrestrials
to get in.

NOORY:
I think that Hubbard

and Parsons dabbled in things

that they shouldn't
have dabbled with.

There are a lot of experts
out there that think

that demonic forces
are indeed extraterrestrials.

So who knows what the two
of them mixed and conjured up?

But there was always talk
that the two of them

were big into UFOs and
very strange things like that.

And they may have opened up
a doorway,

a portal
to get all these things through.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the modern‐day UFO phenomenon

is connected to rituals
that were conducted

to summon otherworldly beings?

Could this be evidence
that dark forces really are

of an extraterrestrial nature,

as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining

recent studies that show
positive and negative energy

can, in fact,
alter our physical world.

NARRATOR:
Tokyo, Japan.

1999.

Japanese researcher
Dr. Masaru Emoto

publishes findings claiming
that human thoughts, words,

and feelings have a direct
effect on water molecules.

Emoto and his team subjected
samples of water

to numerous types of positive
and negative stimuli,

such as applying labels
to the samples

and addressing them verbally.

They then flash‐froze
the samples

to capture the structural
formation of ice crystals.

Using high‐speed photography,

the team found
observable differences

in the crystal formations

when subjected
to destructive thoughts

compared to thoughts of love
and appreciation.

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest

that these findings
may have profound implications

not only regarding the existence
of good and evil

but also on our relationship
to extraterrestrial entities.

WILCOCK: There could be
parasitic entities

in the spirit plane

that can feed off
of negative energy

and actually harness that energy
and use it

as a food supply.

When we give them our energy

through sending a concentrated
focus towards them

that they then have more ability
to project into our reality.

It's possible
that right now on Earth

we are actually seeing a battle

between negative
and positive extraterrestrials

who are working
behind the scenes

in a battle for control
over humanity's future.

NARRATOR:
Do the observable effects

of positive
and negative energies

on the structure
of water molecules provide proof

that dark forces exist?

If so,
could the escalating violence

occurring in our world today

have a more profound origin
than we realize?

There are those who believe
the answer is yes

and that humans
may have the power to stop it.

CHILDRESS: You can't really have
the forces of light

without forces of dark.

And every individual has to make
that choice themselves

of whether they're going to go
to the dark side of the force

or the light side of the force.

FANTHORPE: You have the power
of good and the power of evil.

They are looking for recruits

to help each of them
to conquer the other.

So maybe the powers have times
of ascendancy

and they have times of failure.

And so we're left wondering:

who is going to win?

CARGILL: According
to the biblical stories‐‐

the Apocalypse of John, right,
the Book of Revelation‐‐

if you could peel behind
and look

and see what's really going on
in the heavenly realm,

then you could see

that there are forces at play

and that what we're seeing
on this earth

is just
the‐the physical manifestation

of an otherworldly battle
that's going on.

HENRY: When we think about this
struggle between light and dark,

this is the whole
end times scenario of Christian

or Judeo‐Christian prophecy
that at the end times

we will see a final battle
between the sons of light

and the sons of darkness,

with humankind as the swords
in that battle.

TZADOK:
The biblical prophecy is clear:

we will reintegrate
with our universal destiny,

a restoration

of our bonds of heaven
and earth,

which mean an extraterrestrial
and terrestrial bond and union.

And when the Messiah comes,
he comes with an army.

It comes from a place
off this earth,

most believe
from out of the skies.

Well, what would we call
an invading army

from out of the skies?

We're not going to call it
an army of angels.

We're going to call it
an extraterrestrial invasion.

NARRATOR: Are human beings
actually soldiers

in a cosmic war
between good and evil?

And if so, have our experiences
with the light and dark forces

helped to prepare us
for the final battle,

one that will reunite us

with our extraterrestrial
creators?

Or will we find ourselves
fighting

against them?
