00:32:49,607 from different parts of the galaxy, 633 00:32:49,607 --> 00:32:51,484 and even from beyond this galaxy, 634 00:32:51,484 --> 00:32:53,819 from way out in the universe. 635 00:32:59,283 --> 00:33:01,035 MAN: Wow. 636 00:33:01,035 --> 00:33:02,036 WOMAN: Yeah, did you see that thing? 637 00:33:06,541 --> 00:33:10,086 CHILDRESS: There is a lot of UFO activity. 638 00:33:10,086 --> 00:33:14,549 So here, we have something that would be like a stargate, 639 00:33:14,549 --> 00:33:18,469 some portal to another dimension and jumping to hyperspace, 640 00:33:18,469 --> 00:33:21,639 perhaps, and for some reason, 641 00:33:21,639 --> 00:33:25,142 Australia was the place where they put 642 00:33:25,142 --> 00:33:30,064 this hyperspace portal that is used by extraterrestrials. 643 00:33:30,064 --> 00:33:33,484 NARRATOR: Could the Blue Mountains of Australia function 644 00:33:33,484 --> 00:33:37,113 as an extraterrestrial gateway? 645 00:33:37,113 --> 00:33:39,907 Might this explain the strange phenomena 646 00:33:39,907 --> 00:33:44,245 reported in and around the area? 647 00:33:44,245 --> 00:33:48,249 But if so, is there some connection 648 00:33:48,249 --> 00:33:52,628 to the local Aboriginal tribe? 649 00:33:52,628 --> 00:33:56,257 DUNCAN: There is stories that elders would say 650 00:33:56,257 --> 00:33:58,384 that some people had actually traveled 651 00:33:58,384 --> 00:34:01,887 back to the Morning Star... 652 00:34:01,887 --> 00:34:04,724 and have come back again. 653 00:34:04,724 --> 00:34:07,893 That's not so much of an abduction, 654 00:34:07,893 --> 00:34:09,687 but they have basically went‐‐ 655 00:34:09,687 --> 00:34:11,939 have gone back there and come back. 656 00:34:14,984 --> 00:34:16,402 ROADS: The Australian Aborigines 657 00:34:16,402 --> 00:34:19,196 have a connection and a relationship 658 00:34:19,196 --> 00:34:21,574 with what we call extraterrestrials and UFOs, 659 00:34:21,574 --> 00:34:23,659 which goes back tens of thousands of years. 660 00:34:25,536 --> 00:34:28,331 They're rather nonplussed by their existence. 661 00:34:28,331 --> 00:34:30,666 They have developed 662 00:34:30,666 --> 00:34:34,211 an awareness of individual types of visitors 663 00:34:34,211 --> 00:34:38,049 from what we'd call outer space. 664 00:34:38,049 --> 00:34:39,675 This is not new. 665 00:34:39,675 --> 00:34:42,345 This has happened thousands of times before. 666 00:34:42,345 --> 00:34:44,096 How do we know that? 667 00:34:44,096 --> 00:34:46,307 From all of the remnants that are left behind 668 00:34:46,307 --> 00:34:48,392 by the ancients. 669 00:34:48,392 --> 00:34:50,436 Only a fool could say, "Oh, no. 670 00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:52,146 "We're the only ones here 671 00:34:52,146 --> 00:34:55,691 in this vast amount of space." 672 00:35:01,155 --> 00:35:04,367 NARRATOR: Might the indigenous Australians really 673 00:35:04,367 --> 00:35:09,080 have an ongoing relationship to otherworldly beings? 674 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,124 Beings who have been visiting the continent 675 00:35:12,124 --> 00:35:14,752 for thousands of years? 676 00:35:14,752 --> 00:35:18,381 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further evidence 677 00:35:18,381 --> 00:35:21,550 of extraterrestrial contact can be found 678 00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:25,262 by examining the Aboriginal rituals known 679 00:35:25,262 --> 00:35:26,597 as "dreaming." 680 00:35:33,854 --> 00:35:35,982 NARRATOR: As the bustling streets 681 00:35:35,982 --> 00:35:38,275 of Sydney fill with workers and tourists‐‐ 682 00:35:38,275 --> 00:35:41,237 over 500 miles away, 683 00:35:41,237 --> 00:35:44,740 Aboriginal elders known as "men of learning" 684 00:35:44,740 --> 00:35:48,536 prepare for a dreaming ceremony. 685 00:35:48,536 --> 00:35:53,082 Dreaming is sacred to the culture 686 00:35:53,082 --> 00:35:55,710 and represents a complex spiritual concept 687 00:35:55,710 --> 00:35:58,963 that transcends linear time. 688 00:36:02,049 --> 00:36:04,552 JAGAMARRA: In the beginning, 689 00:36:04,552 --> 00:36:07,722 there was great spirit. 690 00:36:07,722 --> 00:36:10,474 From the stars they came, 691 00:36:10,474 --> 00:36:12,518 and they came down 692 00:36:12,518 --> 00:36:14,854 to this place. 693 00:36:16,605 --> 00:36:18,482 YOUNG: The elders, 694 00:36:18,482 --> 00:36:21,318 the spiritual leaders of the Aboriginal peoples, 695 00:36:21,318 --> 00:36:24,739 will‐will not only chant, but use hypnotic techniques 696 00:36:24,739 --> 00:36:27,533 like the didgeridoo, which makes this humming sound. 697 00:36:27,533 --> 00:36:29,869 (didgeridoo droning) 698 00:36:34,081 --> 00:36:36,417 (singing in native language) 699 00:36:36,417 --> 00:36:39,295 It will take you into an altered state. 700 00:36:41,797 --> 00:36:46,469 It takes them into connection with the Dreamtime, 701 00:36:46,469 --> 00:36:48,637 the unseen worlds, 702 00:36:48,637 --> 00:36:50,473 to commune with the ancestors, 703 00:36:50,473 --> 00:36:53,684 the sky gods. 704 00:36:53,684 --> 00:36:57,605 The Dreamtime is this vast storehouse 705 00:36:57,605 --> 00:36:59,273 of accumulated wisdom 706 00:36:59,273 --> 00:37:03,360 and images and stories. 707 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,488 And it's like other traditions that believe there is a place 708 00:37:05,488 --> 00:37:07,990 that everything that has happened is recorded 709 00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:12,286 and can be reached by the elders through their altered states. 710 00:37:12,286 --> 00:37:15,706 (chanting) 711 00:37:15,706 --> 00:37:19,502 THOMPSON: There's probably no more fundamental concept 712 00:37:19,502 --> 00:37:23,005 in Aboriginal cosmology than the concept of the dreaming. 713 00:37:23,005 --> 00:37:26,509 Sometimes this is referred to as "the Dreamtime." 714 00:37:26,509 --> 00:37:30,513 And this is the idea of this mythic beginnings of the world, 715 00:37:30,513 --> 00:37:33,808 but it's important in that it's a sort of transcendent time. 716 00:37:33,808 --> 00:37:35,392 And what I mean by that is in their view, 717 00:37:35,392 --> 00:37:36,685 it's never gone away. 718 00:37:40,314 --> 00:37:43,192 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 719 00:37:43,192 --> 00:37:46,487 that in many ways, the concept of Dreamtime 720 00:37:46,487 --> 00:37:50,449 mirrors the ancient Hindu idea of the Akashic record... 721 00:37:50,449 --> 00:37:54,203 a collection of past, present, 722 00:37:54,203 --> 00:37:57,414 and future knowledge believed to be encoded 723 00:37:57,414 --> 00:37:59,625 in a non‐physical existence 724 00:37:59,625 --> 00:38:02,211 known as the astral plane. 725 00:38:04,463 --> 00:38:07,758 HENRY: The Akashic records are sort of like a giant hologram, 726 00:38:07,758 --> 00:38:10,594 a holographic world that we can step into to gain wisdom, 727 00:38:10,594 --> 00:38:12,680 access knowledge... 728 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,807 perhaps even to connect 729 00:38:14,807 --> 00:38:18,435 with extraterrestrial beings. 730 00:38:18,435 --> 00:38:21,814 It's pretty remarkable that the Aborigines would have a concept, 731 00:38:21,814 --> 00:38:25,568 the Dreamtime, that matches not only the Akashic records, 732 00:38:25,568 --> 00:38:29,071 but also the idea of a holographic paradigm. 733 00:38:30,865 --> 00:38:33,784 NARRATOR: In 1997, 734 00:38:33,784 --> 00:38:37,371 theoretical physicists proposed a revolutionary idea 735 00:38:37,371 --> 00:38:40,666 called the holographic paradigm. 736 00:38:40,666 --> 00:38:44,253 Curiously, this theory mirrors the ancient concept 737 00:38:44,253 --> 00:38:47,381 shared by the indigenous Australians 738 00:38:47,381 --> 00:38:50,384 and also the Hindu tradition. 739 00:38:50,384 --> 00:38:52,511 The holographic universe theory 740 00:38:52,511 --> 00:38:55,347 suggests that the world that we see 741 00:38:55,347 --> 00:38:58,559 is a mere projection from a 2‐D space. 742 00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:01,353 What we perceive as physical objects 743 00:39:01,353 --> 00:39:06,066 are actually projected fragments of data. 744 00:39:06,066 --> 00:39:09,486 YOUNG: There is a fascinating idea 745 00:39:09,486 --> 00:39:13,240 that perhaps the universe is not three‐dimensional. 746 00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:15,326 That it's a projection 747 00:39:15,326 --> 00:39:17,828 from a two‐dimensional slide of some kind. 748 00:39:17,828 --> 00:39:20,789 That it's a‐a hologram‐‐ 749 00:39:20,789 --> 00:39:23,667 something like The Matrix, in the movie‐‐ 750 00:39:23,667 --> 00:39:27,880 and that we are walking around inside of what seems like 3‐D, 751 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,758 but in fact is an illusion. 752 00:39:32,509 --> 00:39:33,761 NARRATOR: While this incredible theory 753 00:39:33,761 --> 00:39:36,430 may seem far‐fetched, 754 00:39:36,430 --> 00:39:41,101 in 2013, researchers at Ibaraki University in Japan 755 00:39:41,101 --> 00:39:45,731 found that the theoretical model is mathematically feasible 756 00:39:45,731 --> 00:39:50,653 and might actually be correct. 757 00:39:50,653 --> 00:39:52,321 CHILDRESS: We have this parallel 758 00:39:52,321 --> 00:39:54,865 between the Aboriginal Dreamtime, 759 00:39:54,865 --> 00:39:57,117 the Hindu Akashic record, 760 00:39:57,117 --> 00:39:59,828 and the Holographic Universe Theory‐‐ 761 00:39:59,828 --> 00:40:01,789 what would appear to be 762 00:40:01,789 --> 00:40:05,709 some kind of extraterrestrial technology 763 00:40:05,709 --> 00:40:08,545 that's putting all the information of the universe 764 00:40:08,545 --> 00:40:10,839 into one spot. 765 00:40:13,550 --> 00:40:15,010 NARRATOR: Is it possible 766 00:40:15,010 --> 00:40:17,972 that the Aboriginal elders are tapping 767 00:40:17,972 --> 00:40:21,475 into an otherworldly plane when they perform their ceremonies? 768 00:40:21,475 --> 00:40:24,436 A plane that our greatest scientific minds 769 00:40:24,436 --> 00:40:27,648 don't yet fully understand? 770 00:40:27,648 --> 00:40:31,068 If so, does this provide evidence 771 00:40:31,068 --> 00:40:35,823 of a maintained connection between this indigenous culture 772 00:40:35,823 --> 00:40:38,409 and advanced extraterrestrial beings? 773 00:40:43,289 --> 00:40:46,834 TSOUKALOS: We have to remind ourselves that the Aboriginals 774 00:40:46,834 --> 00:40:51,255 are our last direct connection to our extraterrestrial past. 775 00:40:54,675 --> 00:40:57,428 It would behoove us to listen, 776 00:40:57,428 --> 00:40:59,638 because one thing is clear to me today‐‐ 777 00:40:59,638 --> 00:41:04,101 their stories are very clear in their message 778 00:41:04,101 --> 00:41:06,729 that we are not alone in the universe. 779 00:41:06,729 --> 00:41:10,065 DUNCAN: We are the extraterrestrials. 780 00:41:10,065 --> 00:41:12,276 Our body is made up of this earth, 781 00:41:12,276 --> 00:41:16,488 but our spirit comes from the Morning Star. 782 00:41:16,488 --> 00:41:19,158 We come from another place, from another world. 783 00:41:19,158 --> 00:41:23,037 We were brought here a long time ago to populate this place 784 00:41:23,037 --> 00:41:26,415 everyone now calls Earth. 785 00:41:28,959 --> 00:41:32,129 NARRATOR: Might the Aboriginal Wisdom Keepers serve 786 00:41:32,129 --> 00:41:36,175 as a direct link to our extraterrestrial creators? 787 00:41:38,385 --> 00:41:40,054 And could there be messages 788 00:41:40,054 --> 00:41:42,389 left behind for mankind encoded 789 00:41:42,389 --> 00:41:45,184 in their sacred traditions? 790 00:41:45,184 --> 00:41:48,604 As we stand at the threshold of a new level 791 00:41:48,604 --> 00:41:51,357 of science and understanding, 792 00:41:51,357 --> 00:41:54,777 perhaps we will discover that the stories 793 00:41:54,777 --> 00:41:57,112 of the world's oldest living culture 794 00:41:57,112 --> 00:41:59,907 not only reveal our true origins... 795 00:41:59,907 --> 00:42:04,087 but also our destiny. 60759
