NICK POPE:
Thousands of people
2
00:00:03,795 --> 00:00:05,839
in the Chinese city of Foshan
3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:09,593
saw what they could only
describe as a floating city.
4
00:00:11,428 --> 00:00:13,096
WILLIAM HENRY:
Thousands of Chinese people
5
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:15,098
flocked to social media
6
00:00:15,098 --> 00:00:18,769
with photos of UFOs
flying over China.
7
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:20,729
NICK REDFERN:
We're getting more and more
8
00:00:20,729 --> 00:00:22,898
of these anomalous phenomena
9
00:00:22,898 --> 00:00:25,651
in the skies,
which the Chinese government
10
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:26,485
are trying to dismiss.
11
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:30,113
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
One has to wonder whether or not
12
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:31,531
history is repeating itself,
13
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:35,035
because in China, you have
stories of flying dragons.
14
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:39,039
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Extraterrestrials may have
15
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:43,502
been living amongst the Chinese
for thousands of years.
16
00:00:43,502 --> 00:00:46,296
And finally
the veil is being lifted
17
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:48,507
on the true history of China.
18
00:00:48,507 --> 00:00:51,718
NARRATOR:
Since the dawn of civilization,
19
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:56,056
mankind has credited
its origins to gods
20
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:58,141
and other visitors
from the stars.
21
00:00:58,141 --> 00:01:01,019
What if it were true?
22
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:04,022
Did extraterrestrial beings
23
00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:07,150
really help
to shape our history?
24
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:09,278
And if so,
25
00:01:09,278 --> 00:01:12,698
could there be
a connection between aliens
26
00:01:12,698 --> 00:01:15,534
and China's Hidden Empire?
27
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:50,068
January 26, 2011.
28
00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:53,613
Sun Shili‐‐ a former Chinese
Foreign Ministry official,
29
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:56,199
who worked directly
with Mao Tse‐tung‐‐
30
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:59,369
comes forward
with a shocking revelation
31
00:01:59,369 --> 00:02:02,331
that is reported
in The Canadian newspaper.
32
00:02:02,331 --> 00:02:04,708
The Chinese government is aware
33
00:02:04,708 --> 00:02:08,128
of extraterrestrials
visiting Earth.
34
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:10,130
(speaking Chinese)
35
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,341
(translated):
The government held an objective
36
00:02:12,341 --> 00:02:15,594
and practical attitude,
and allowed us to do
37
00:02:15,594 --> 00:02:18,680
abundant research, reports
and discussions on the topic.
38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,767
They pay great attention
to this topic,
39
00:02:21,767 --> 00:02:23,894
especially the military,
40
00:02:23,894 --> 00:02:26,897
the air force
and civil aviation departments,
41
00:02:26,897 --> 00:02:30,233
which encounter UFO cases
frequently.
42
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:35,072
POPE: Sun Shili said that not
only were the Chinese government
43
00:02:35,072 --> 00:02:40,160
aware that extraterrestrials
were visiting the Earth,
44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,206
but also that some aliens
were actually living among us
45
00:02:44,206 --> 00:02:46,833
disguised in human form.
46
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,796
His revelations
are an absolute bombshell.
47
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:55,092
I mean, clearly
this shines a new light on
48
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:57,761
what may have been going on
in relation to this subject
49
00:02:57,761 --> 00:02:59,846
in one of the most
50
00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:03,183
secret societies
on the face of this planet.
51
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:07,521
NARRATOR: Shili claimed to have
discovered sensitive information
52
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:10,774
about government knowledge
of extraterrestrials
53
00:03:10,774 --> 00:03:13,777
while serving Chairman Mao,
54
00:03:13,777 --> 00:03:17,114
and he also had
his own close encounter.
55
00:03:17,114 --> 00:03:18,740
(Shili speaking Chinese)
56
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:22,285
(translated): In 1972,
I was in the central government.
57
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:25,455
I was working in the foreign
affairs department.
58
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,458
We were on evening duty
when we saw
59
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:32,045
a shiny UFO in the sky,
like a small moon.
60
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:35,298
It was smaller than the moon
but was very bright.
61
00:03:35,298 --> 00:03:37,926
It moved up and down.
62
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:41,221
It disappeared after
about ten minutes or so.
63
00:03:42,931 --> 00:03:46,351
NARRATOR: Initially,
Shili regarded the spectacle
64
00:03:46,351 --> 00:03:50,480
as a type of Cold War
intelligence monitoring device.
65
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,192
But years later, after working
within elevated levels
66
00:03:54,192 --> 00:03:56,111
of the Chinese government,
67
00:03:56,111 --> 00:04:00,198
he was certain he had witnessed
an alien spacecraft.
68
00:04:00,198 --> 00:04:01,575
(indistinct chatter)
69
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:04,369
POPE:
I met Dr. Sun Shili
70
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:08,540
in 2013 in Washington D. C.
71
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:13,003
We were both speakers at the
Citizen Hearing on Disclosure.
72
00:04:13,003 --> 00:04:16,465
I had a chance
to meet with, uh, Sun Shili
73
00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:19,551
and, um, discuss some of this
with him firsthand.
74
00:04:19,551 --> 00:04:22,679
He's entirely sincere
about this.
75
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:26,391
NARRATOR:
Could Sun Shili‐‐
76
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:28,185
a man who worked closely
77
00:04:28,185 --> 00:04:31,480
with one of the most powerful
world leaders in history‐‐
78
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,857
really have inside knowledge
79
00:04:33,857 --> 00:04:38,528
about extraterrestrials
visiting Earth?
80
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:41,865
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
81
00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:45,035
and suggest that China‐‐
82
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:47,662
a historically
isolationist country‐‐
83
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:49,706
may have secretly
been in contact
84
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:52,125
with extraterrestrials
for decades
85
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:55,337
and possibly longer.
86
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:58,465
JONATHAN YOUNG:
China has always been insular.
87
00:04:58,465 --> 00:05:01,343
There's always been a sense
that the rest of the world
88
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:04,137
was unimportant,
that China was for China
89
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:06,556
and for the Chinese,
and they were very careful
90
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:08,850
about any secrets that came out.
91
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:11,937
POPE:
China is a notoriously closed
92
00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:14,731
and secretive society.
93
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:18,777
Is this in relation to UFOs
because they know something?
94
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:21,738
Could it be that
they found something?
95
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:24,324
PAUL STONEHILL:
The Chinese government does not
96
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:27,661
feel obligated to explain
their views on UFOs
97
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:29,955
or their research.
98
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:32,624
I am sure they are
concerned that, um,
99
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:35,168
those who study UFOs sometimes
100
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:39,673
see military tests
in the skies of China.
101
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:44,052
They are
a self‐immersed civilization
102
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:47,138
and they don't feel perhaps
103
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:49,307
that they need to share
all their historical knowledge
104
00:05:49,307 --> 00:05:51,268
with the others.
105
00:05:53,061 --> 00:05:55,647
NARRATOR: China is the world's
most populous country,
106
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:59,901
with a unique blend of ancient
and modern civilization.
107
00:05:59,901 --> 00:06:02,779
Westerners have
long held a fascination
108
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,240
with this distant land,
in part
109
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,785
because it seems
to hold so many secrets.
110
00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:12,497
From the construction
of the 13,000‐mile‐long
111
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,416
Great Wall of China,
112
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:18,044
erected thousands of years ago,
113
00:06:18,044 --> 00:06:21,172
to the so‐called digital
"Great Firewall"
114
00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:23,383
restricting the Internet today‐‐
115
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:26,595
China has taken
extraordinary measures
116
00:06:26,595 --> 00:06:28,847
that have prevented
both people and information
117
00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:32,183
from entering
or leaving its domain.
118
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,895
But why?
119
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:39,566
According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
120
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:41,651
the answer may be found
121
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:45,697
by looking back 5,000 years
to China's beginnings
122
00:06:45,697 --> 00:06:49,034
and the reign
of their very first ruler‐‐
123
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,412
the Yellow Emperor.
124
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:55,248
DOMINIC STEAVU: The Yellow
Emperor is understood to be
125
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:56,958
a human figure, but
126
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,836
originally in his
earlier incarnation
127
00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:03,548
he was actually
a divine celestial figure.
128
00:07:03,548 --> 00:07:07,677
He was a god associated
with thunder and lightning,
129
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,346
more specifically.
130
00:07:09,346 --> 00:07:12,849
And he was thought
to reside in the sky.
131
00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:19,189
The reign of the Yellow Emperor,
which purportedly
132
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:22,859
lasted 100 years,
was thought to be a high point
133
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:26,529
of Chinese culture
and of civilization.
134
00:07:26,529 --> 00:07:30,408
So he's associated with a number
of technological developments
135
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:34,204
spanning from the calendar,
136
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:36,331
advances in mathematics,
137
00:07:36,331 --> 00:07:40,710
astronomy, agricultural
techniques, writing as well.
138
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:43,880
NARRATOR:
According to ancient accounts,
139
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,590
the Yellow Emperor
possessed knowledge
140
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:47,842
of advanced technology,
141
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:50,679
and invented many
mechanical devices,
142
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:53,306
including a cauldron
that was oriented
143
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:56,893
towards the Syuan Yuan star,
144
00:07:56,893 --> 00:08:00,730
the star from which he
is said to have descended.
145
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:04,150
It was written that the cauldron
could make a dragon appear
146
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:06,486
from the sky.
147
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:09,072
STEAVU: When the time was right,
he crafted the cauldron,
148
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:12,701
and in it he threw in
some alchemical ingredients,
149
00:08:12,701 --> 00:08:14,494
uh, elixir ingredients.
150
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,705
(explosion)
151
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:20,375
And immediately the heavens
opened and a dragon emerged.
152
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:25,547
TSOUKALOS: So a flying dragon
sometimes described
153
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:28,299
with metallic skin,
154
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:30,719
one has to wonder
do we have descriptions
155
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:33,179
of nuts and bolts machines?
156
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:36,641
Could these be nothing else
but descriptions
157
00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:38,143
of misunderstood technology?
158
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:40,937
(Shili speaking Chinese)
159
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:42,522
SHILI (translated):
Based on our research,
160
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,733
the Yellow Emperor arrived
161
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,568
in the wonderful land of China
through an aircraft.
162
00:08:46,568 --> 00:08:48,319
(speaking Chinese)
163
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,822
(translated): We Chinese people
consider ourselves
164
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:54,451
the descendants of the dragon.
165
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:57,871
In UFO research, a dragon
is the symbol of aircraft,
166
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:00,957
that is, the symbol of a UFO.
167
00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:07,172
NARRATOR: Is it possible
the Yellow Emperor
168
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:10,425
was an extraterrestrial
that was responsible
169
00:09:10,425 --> 00:09:12,302
for starting
Chinese civilization
170
00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:15,388
over 5,000 years ago?
171
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:18,600
And if so,
might subsequent emperors,
172
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,519
who all claimed to be
descendants of Huangdi,
173
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,772
have been at least
part alien as well?
174
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:30,653
In China's ancient history,
175
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:35,241
it was often forbidden
to look upon the emperor.
176
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:38,244
And from 1420 to 1912,
177
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:40,705
emperors were actually
walled off
178
00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:43,833
from the public within a massive
citadel in Beijing
179
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,376
known as the Forbidden City.
180
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:52,467
The design of the Forbidden City
was meticulously planned
181
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:55,428
to shield the emperor
from the outside world,
182
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:59,974
as well as symbolize Chinese
philosophy and religion.
183
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,393
The Forbidden City
was considered to be
184
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:05,522
an earthly counterpart
to an extraterrestrial city.
185
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:10,652
A monk received the plan
for the city in a vision,
186
00:10:10,652 --> 00:10:15,365
and it was built of stones, some
of them weighing over 300 tons.
187
00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:17,909
The full name of
the Forbidden City is actually
188
00:10:17,909 --> 00:10:19,369
"the Purple Forbidden City,"
189
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:22,789
and this refers
to a constellation,
190
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:26,501
which is known as the "purple
enclosure," in the skies.
191
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:31,297
This constellation is said
to house the celestial emperor
192
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,424
and his immediate entourage.
193
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:36,678
So, the Forbidden City
in Beijing is considered to be
194
00:10:36,678 --> 00:10:39,264
a earthly or
terrestrial counterpart
195
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:44,310
of this celestial palace
up in the stars.
196
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,312
CHILDRESS:
So you have to wonder,
197
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:50,817
might these Chinese emperors
have been aliens
198
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:54,737
living both among people
of the Earth and in the sky?
199
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,535
NARRATOR: Was the practice
of hiding Chinese emperors
200
00:11:00,535 --> 00:11:05,832
implemented to conceal flesh
and blood extraterrestrials?
201
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:10,170
And, if so, might there
still be aliens living among‐‐
202
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:14,174
and in fact ruling‐‐
the Chinese people,
203
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:17,760
just as former
Chinese official Sun Shili
204
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,804
claims there are today?
205
00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:22,682
Ancient astronaut theorists
206
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,976
propose further evidence
207
00:11:24,976 --> 00:11:27,854
lies buried
in an isolated desert
208
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:31,774
in the form
of mysterious mummies.
209
00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:39,741
NARRATOR:
Heilongjiang Province, China.
210
00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:42,952
June 1994.
211
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:46,748
Red Flag logging camp.
212
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:50,877
Tree farmer Meng Zhaoguo
spots what he believes to be
213
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:55,840
a helicopter crashing into
the nearby Dragon Mountains.
214
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,594
He sets out to investigate,
215
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:02,889
and when he reaches
the lip of the valley,
216
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,768
he is struck on the head
and knocked unconscious.
217
00:12:08,811 --> 00:12:12,065
He wakes up several days later
in his bedroom at home,
218
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,274
doesn't know how he got there.
219
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:17,695
But he also that day
has a visitation
220
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:20,949
by what he describes as
a ten‐foot‐tall extraterrestrial
221
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:23,952
female with six fingers.
222
00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:26,579
They're floating
in the air above his bed.
223
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,623
Suddenly she vanishes.
224
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:30,083
She walks through the wall
in his room
225
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:31,918
and he floats back into his bed.
226
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:37,298
NARRATOR: While this account
is certainly fantastical,
227
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:40,718
Beijing‐based psychologists
and police technicians
228
00:12:40,718 --> 00:12:44,806
subjected Zhaoguo
to a rigorous examination,
229
00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:48,768
including hypnosis and
a lie detector test and
230
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:52,188
concluded his story
to be truthful.
231
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:55,400
Zhaoguo is one
of literally thousands
232
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,612
who have come forward in China
in recent years to say
233
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:03,283
that they have had
extraterrestrial encounters.
234
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:06,828
But his abduction
by this otherworldly giant
235
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,955
is particularly significant
236
00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:12,792
because of an extraordinary
archaeological discovery
237
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:17,338
in China that dates back
nearly 4,000 years.
238
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:21,759
The Taklamakan Desert,
239
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,095
known as "the Sea of Death."
240
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:27,098
It is a vast, unforgiving land
241
00:13:27,098 --> 00:13:30,310
shrouded in myths
and lost to time.
242
00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:33,604
CHRISTOPH BAUMER:
The Taklamakan Desert
243
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:37,984
is located in the northwest
of China...
244
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:12,894
NARRATOR:
While the Taklamakan Desert
245
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:17,398
is one of the least habitable
places on Earth, astoundingly,
246
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:21,235
over the last three decades,
Chinese archaeologists
247
00:14:21,235 --> 00:14:24,530
working in the Tarim Basin
region have excavated
248
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,158
hundreds of tombs that date back
249
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:30,453
to as early as 1800 BC.
250
00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:04,737
NARRATOR:
The well‐preserved
251
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:06,697
nature of the mummified bodies
252
00:15:06,697 --> 00:15:08,324
allowed archaeologists
253
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:11,035
to conduct modern DNA analyses
254
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:14,956
that determined the ancient
travelers were not Chinese.
255
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:53,369
WILCOCK: Now, these mummies
were very curious
256
00:15:53,369 --> 00:15:55,705
in that some of them have
257
00:15:55,705 --> 00:15:59,041
what the biologists
call Europoid features.
258
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:01,919
This means they have
angular faces.
259
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:04,130
They have recessed eyes.
260
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:05,923
They have white skin.
261
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:07,675
They have elongated bodies,
262
00:16:07,675 --> 00:16:10,428
and they have curly hair
263
00:16:10,428 --> 00:16:14,265
that can be red, blonde,
or dark brown.
264
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:17,059
When they've actually tested
265
00:16:17,059 --> 00:16:20,313
the mitochondrial DNA
of these mummies,
266
00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:24,317
they find Haplogroups M and K,
which are actually
267
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:28,029
genetic DNA markers suggesting
268
00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:30,823
Western European
genetic lineage.
269
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:32,742
However, there is a problem.
270
00:16:32,742 --> 00:16:35,036
There are anomalies in the DNA.
271
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,871
There are things
that do not add up...
272
00:16:38,414 --> 00:16:41,209
...to any known surviving relics
273
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:43,211
of genetic information
274
00:16:43,211 --> 00:16:44,712
that we have from anywhere else.
275
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:46,714
This suggests that these people
276
00:16:46,714 --> 00:16:48,841
may in fact be
extraterrestrials.
277
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,137
NARRATOR:
Could the mysterious mummies
278
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:54,764
discovered at the Tarim Basin
279
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:57,683
really be of alien origin?
280
00:16:59,894 --> 00:17:03,940
And might it also be possible
that the giant being
281
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:08,694
Meng Zhaoguo encountered
in his home in 1994
282
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:12,907
is a member
of the same alien race?
283
00:17:12,907 --> 00:17:16,911
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and suggest
284
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:18,704
further proof can be found
285
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:21,249
by examining the evidence
discovered
286
00:17:21,249 --> 00:17:24,669
at one of China's
most secret pyramids.
287
00:17:32,677 --> 00:17:37,473
NARRATOR:
Shaanxi Province, China, 1947.
288
00:17:37,473 --> 00:17:41,352
Colonel Maurice Sheahan,
the Far East director
289
00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:42,687
for Trans World Airlines...
290
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,234
...is flying over Central China,
when he spots
291
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:49,944
a white jewel‐topped structure
292
00:17:49,944 --> 00:17:54,657
that he estimates to be
a 1,000‐foot‐high pyramid.
293
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:56,951
HENRY: Colonel Maurice Sheahan
looks down
294
00:17:56,951 --> 00:17:59,161
and he sees a giant pyramid
295
00:17:59,161 --> 00:18:03,165
that he says is larger
than the Great Pyramid of Giza.
296
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:05,209
He reports this
to The New York Times
297
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:06,752
and it causes a sensation.
298
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:11,090
NARRATOR:
On March 27, 1947,
299
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:15,261
Colonel Sheahan's eyewitness
account is circulated worldwide
300
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,179
when The New York Times
301
00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:20,641
reports his story and
two days later a photograph
302
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:23,561
of the mysterious structure
is printed.
303
00:18:23,561 --> 00:18:26,314
HENRY:
Since then, 37 more pyramids
304
00:18:26,314 --> 00:18:29,567
have been sighted
in this area of China,
305
00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:33,029
including the mausoleum
of the first Chin emperor,
306
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:37,158
where we find the incredible
terra‐cotta warriors.
307
00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:39,243
It suggests that ancient China
308
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:41,996
was a place where pyramid
building was rampant.
309
00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:47,126
VON DANIKEN:
It was always known
310
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,046
that there were pyramids
in China,
311
00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:53,424
but only in the last,
uh, decades,
312
00:18:53,424 --> 00:18:56,177
Chinese archaeologists start
313
00:18:56,177 --> 00:18:59,472
to publish books
about these pyramids.
314
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:03,601
They are all related
to the original rulers.
315
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:09,315
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists contend not only that
316
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:13,694
the formations found in Xian
are pyramids, but also that
317
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:15,780
another structure
discovered here
318
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:18,949
points to a connection
to the heavens.
319
00:19:23,037 --> 00:19:28,250
In the summer of 1999,
the oldest known altar used
320
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:31,837
in Chinese state religious
practice was unearthed in Xian
321
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:35,675
by the Chinese Academy
of Social Sciences.
322
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:40,012
It is estimated that
17 Chinese emperors conducted
323
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:43,099
religious rites at
the so‐called Altar of Heaven
324
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:48,229
that dates back
to at least 581 AD.
325
00:19:48,229 --> 00:19:51,232
VON DANIKEN: All
the Chinese kings communicated
326
00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:54,568
with the extraterrestrials,
the gods from heaven,
327
00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:59,115
on the so‐called
Altar of Heaven.
328
00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:03,035
But the same stone structure,
with different ring
329
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:06,539
about the main altar,
we find in Peru,
330
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:10,209
over the city of Saksaywaman.
331
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:13,754
And, the rulers of the Inca
were, of course again,
332
00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:17,216
the descendants from heaven,
like in China.
333
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,885
It's incredibly unique
334
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,346
that you have Muyuq Marka
in Peru,
335
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:23,848
and the Altar of Heaven
in China,
336
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:26,183
coming from two
very different cultures,
337
00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:29,478
two different time periods,
that you have so many unique
338
00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:31,731
similarities between
these two structures,
339
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:35,985
and they're both used
for communication with the gods.
340
00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:38,446
Could that suggest that
these ancient cultures
341
00:20:38,446 --> 00:20:40,072
were trying to worship
and venerate
342
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,199
the same extraterrestrial gods
343
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:44,076
that may have visited
this planet in ancient times?
344
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:46,579
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
345
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,080
that the mysterious structures
346
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,333
found in and around
the city of Xian, China,
347
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:54,253
were used by ancient rulers
to connect
348
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,714
with otherworldly beings?
349
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:02,636
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that another,
350
00:21:02,636 --> 00:21:06,265
even more mysterious pyramid,
can be found
351
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:11,854
roughly 500 miles west of Xian
in the province of Qinghai,
352
00:21:11,854 --> 00:21:14,440
atop Mount Baigong.
353
00:21:16,192 --> 00:21:20,070
In 2003 a team of Chinese
scientists went to Tibet
354
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:23,157
and investigated
the infamous Mount Baigong...
355
00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:27,369
...which has,
as they discovered,
356
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:29,455
a 200‐foot‐tall pyramid
357
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:31,332
at the top of the mountain.
358
00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:35,336
There was a system of caves
inside that had triangular faces
359
00:21:35,336 --> 00:21:37,880
at the openings of the caves
on three areas,
360
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,635
and they found a variety
of rusty pieces
361
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:44,136
that were around the pyramid.
362
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:49,975
CHILDRESS: Mount Baigong appears
to be an artificial pyramid
363
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:53,103
with three triangular entrances
364
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:56,857
going inside
this mountain pyramid,
365
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:00,361
and inside are all of these
metallic pipes.
366
00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:03,823
The floor of these caves
367
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:06,951
are littered
with metallic parts.
368
00:22:06,951 --> 00:22:09,787
It's like this was
some kind of base.
369
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:15,918
NARRATOR: According
to ancient astronaut theory,
370
00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:18,504
the reason that pyramids
are found all over the world
371
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,214
from Egypt,
372
00:22:20,214 --> 00:22:21,590
to Peru,
373
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,218
to Mexico
374
00:22:24,218 --> 00:22:26,887
is because our ancestors
were taught to build
375
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:30,558
these structures
by extraterrestrial visitors.
376
00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:35,437
If the mysterious pipe‐shaped
objects found at Mount Baigong
377
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:39,275
were artificially manufactured
with advanced technology,
378
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:43,320
could this be definitive proof
of alien intervention
379
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,155
in the distant past?
380
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:49,410
In Chinese mythology,
381
00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:53,539
the Kunlun Mountain was said
to be the center of the Earth,
382
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:55,916
and it was supposedly
383
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:59,461
a‐a huge pillar
of jade and jasper
384
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:02,006
and precious gems that
385
00:23:02,006 --> 00:23:04,258
reached up into the sky.
386
00:23:04,258 --> 00:23:07,595
STEAVU: Mount Kunlun
is a mythical mountain
387
00:23:07,595 --> 00:23:12,558
that is an axis mundi,
which is a central pillar
388
00:23:12,558 --> 00:23:15,352
around which the entire
universe revolves.
389
00:23:15,352 --> 00:23:17,354
This is a connector
390
00:23:17,354 --> 00:23:22,484
between Earth and
the rest of the universe.
391
00:23:22,484 --> 00:23:27,990
It's where celestial beings can
communicate with earthly beings.
392
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:32,411
You have to wonder
if Mount Baigong is not
393
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,372
this mythical Kunlun Mountain
394
00:23:35,372 --> 00:23:39,209
that was some
kind of extraterrestrial base
395
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:42,922
that spanned Earth
and the stars.
396
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:48,594
NARRATOR: Could it be
that extraterrestrials
397
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:51,639
visited China
thousands of years ago
398
00:23:51,639 --> 00:23:55,100
and left behind remnants
from an ancient base?
399
00:23:56,727 --> 00:23:58,479
Ancient astronaut theorists
400
00:23:58,479 --> 00:24:01,023
suggest China's biggest secrets
401
00:24:01,023 --> 00:24:04,652
may not be on top
of its greatest peaks,
402
00:24:04,652 --> 00:24:07,738
but beneath its darkest depths.
403
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,333
NARRATOR:
Fuxian Lake.
404
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:23,045
Yunnan Province, China, 1992.
405
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:26,090
Expert diver,
406
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:28,300
Geng Wei, descends into this
407
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:31,929
remote lake and discovers
a surprising phenomenon.
408
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:37,351
The bottom is littered
with hand‐carved flagstones
409
00:24:37,351 --> 00:24:39,645
and other stone relics.
410
00:24:41,355 --> 00:24:42,690
The mysterious stones
411
00:24:42,690 --> 00:24:44,775
lie scattered on the bottom
412
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:47,486
of China's second deepest
freshwater lake,
413
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:51,740
which covers an area
of 100 square miles
414
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:54,785
with a depth of 509 feet.
415
00:24:57,371 --> 00:25:00,082
What he saw was
quite extraordinary.
416
00:25:00,082 --> 00:25:04,420
Hand‐dressed flagstones,
roads, buildings.
417
00:25:05,796 --> 00:25:08,257
And it's as if he discovered
418
00:25:08,257 --> 00:25:09,675
an underwater city.
419
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,679
That clearly has evidence
of dwellings
420
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:15,472
at the bottom of a lake.
421
00:25:15,472 --> 00:25:18,392
It was built when
there wasn't a lake,
422
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:20,894
and that would mean that
we're talking about a time
423
00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:23,814
before the last ice age,
which would bring
424
00:25:23,814 --> 00:25:25,983
the story of Fuxian Lake
425
00:25:25,983 --> 00:25:29,486
way more into the remote past
than what we're being told.
426
00:25:31,697 --> 00:25:34,575
CHILDRESS:
Geng Wei made over 35 dives
427
00:25:34,575 --> 00:25:37,369
in Fuxian Lake,
428
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:41,665
and they even took a submarine
down into this lake
429
00:25:41,665 --> 00:25:44,793
to find stairs
430
00:25:44,793 --> 00:25:49,465
and more of these flagstones
and walls beneath this lake.
431
00:25:49,465 --> 00:25:51,842
So you have to wonder,
432
00:25:51,842 --> 00:25:55,846
did some kind of advanced
civilization exist
433
00:25:55,846 --> 00:25:59,016
at one time beneath Fuxian Lake?
434
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:05,105
NARRATOR:
In 2001, archaeologists
435
00:26:05,105 --> 00:26:07,566
from the Yunnan
Provincial Museum
436
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:10,861
used advanced sonar scanners
and cameras
437
00:26:10,861 --> 00:26:15,449
to conduct the monumental task
of surveying Fuxian Lake.
438
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,369
The evidence collected convinced
439
00:26:19,369 --> 00:26:22,414
Chinese archaeologists
they had discovered structures
440
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:25,292
of an advanced civilization,
441
00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:29,046
including an arena‐type building
and pyramids.
442
00:26:30,631 --> 00:26:33,675
This mysterious
sunken city covers
443
00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:37,679
more than one square mile,
but the questions remain.
444
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:41,100
Who built it and why?
445
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:43,936
The pyramid itself
is very unusual
446
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:46,563
and it's‐‐ it‐it is said
that the pyramid
447
00:26:46,563 --> 00:26:49,566
is as old as
the Egyptian pyramids are
448
00:26:49,566 --> 00:26:52,945
and maybe even higher
than some of them.
449
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,322
It's an incredible discovery.
450
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:00,369
CHILDRESS:
Ancient Chinese records
451
00:27:00,369 --> 00:27:01,787
speak of a city in the area
452
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:04,206
of Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan.
453
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:07,751
However, studies
of the underwater structures
454
00:27:07,751 --> 00:27:12,756
at Fuxian Lake show that
it's actually much older
455
00:27:12,756 --> 00:27:15,259
than this Yuyuan city.
456
00:27:15,259 --> 00:27:18,011
Could this be the remains
of some ancient
457
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:22,432
and advanced society that was
destroyed in the Great Flood?
458
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,938
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that an extraterrestrial base
459
00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:30,482
is located deep underwater?
460
00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:36,572
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
461
00:27:36,572 --> 00:27:38,866
and suggest USOs,
462
00:27:38,866 --> 00:27:41,535
or unidentified
submersible objects,
463
00:27:41,535 --> 00:27:44,913
have been well chronicled
in ancient Chinese texts.
464
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:49,793
REDFERN:
According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi,
465
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:51,336
a book written during the reign
466
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:54,840
of Emperor Daoguang
in the Qing Dynasty,
467
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,968
a horse‐like monster
lived in the lake.
468
00:27:57,968 --> 00:28:00,304
The animal was described
as being white
469
00:28:00,304 --> 00:28:02,264
with red spots on its back.
470
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:04,266
More intriguingly,
it was a creature
471
00:28:04,266 --> 00:28:06,852
that could actually
take to the skies.
472
00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:11,440
This suggests it may have been
part USO, part UFO.
473
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,650
That's to say,
an underwater submersible object
474
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,737
and also an unidentified
flying object.
475
00:28:19,573 --> 00:28:23,619
NARRATOR:
October 24, 1991.
476
00:28:23,619 --> 00:28:28,582
A local fisherman named
Zhang Yuxiang was fishing
477
00:28:28,582 --> 00:28:32,753
on Fuxian Lake during
a clear and tranquil day,
478
00:28:32,753 --> 00:28:37,424
when a dense fog suddenly rolled
across the vast body of water.
479
00:28:37,424 --> 00:28:39,051
In 1991,
480
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:44,598
Zhang Yuxiang, a fisherman,
was at Fuxian Lake
481
00:28:44,598 --> 00:28:46,516
when he encountered a UFO.
482
00:28:46,516 --> 00:28:48,936
Now, this strange craft
483
00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:52,731
actually emerged
from the waters of the lake.
484
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:55,609
He described it
as a shining disc.
485
00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:59,988
This UFO was so close
and so powerful
486
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:02,199
that it actually tossed
the boat around.
487
00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:08,747
And then rapidly this craft just
disappeared up into the sky.
488
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:12,876
Lake Fuxian is clearly a‐an area
489
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:16,713
where there have been many
strange events over the years.
490
00:29:18,215 --> 00:29:19,758
NARRATOR:
Could the flying dragon
491
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,927
that carried the Yellow Emperor
492
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:24,304
described
in ancient Chinese texts
493
00:29:24,304 --> 00:29:27,933
and the USO witnessed
by Zhang Yuxiang
494
00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:30,519
be the same alien craft?
495
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:33,939
And if so, is it possible
496
00:29:33,939 --> 00:29:36,149
that an extraterrestrial base
497
00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:39,444
exists at the bottom
of Fuxian Lake?
498
00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:43,573
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
499
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:46,952
and claim strange sightings
in China
500
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,996
have become so numerous
501
00:29:48,996 --> 00:29:50,789
that soon the government
502
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:51,915
will no longer be able
503
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:54,251
to hide the truth.
504
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:02,801
NARRATOR:
Foshan, China.
505
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:07,639
October 7, 2015.
506
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:10,267
Above this sprawling metropolis,
507
00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:12,769
thousands of shocked
residents witness
508
00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:15,105
an astonishing spectacle...
509
00:30:16,732 --> 00:30:20,694
a city hovering in the clouds.
510
00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:25,949
The apparition of a cityscape
is unmistakable and remains
511
00:30:25,949 --> 00:30:28,577
in the sky for several minutes,
512
00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:31,121
long enough to be captured
on video,
513
00:30:31,121 --> 00:30:34,708
which is broadcast
on Chinese television
514
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:38,795
and subsequently disseminated on
social media across the globe.
515
00:30:40,297 --> 00:30:42,507
REDFERN:
Numerous people reported seeing
516
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,552
what looked like
skyscraper‐type buildings
517
00:30:45,552 --> 00:30:48,805
in the clouds high in the sky.
518
00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:50,515
It was an amazing spectacle.
519
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:52,225
There's just no other way
to describe it.
520
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,688
NARRATOR:
While Chinese officials
521
00:30:56,688 --> 00:31:00,484
denounced the phenomenon
as an elaborate hoax, to date,
522
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,194
no one has been able to prove
523
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:03,945
that the footage
is not authentic,
524
00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:05,864
and the video
525
00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:09,743
is backed up by the reports
of numerous eyewitnesses.
526
00:31:09,743 --> 00:31:14,039
But some argue that even
if the footage is genuine,
527
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,666
it can be explained
by an optical illusion
528
00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:19,419
known as Fata Morgana.
529
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:21,505
So, one theory about
what this could have been
530
00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:23,632
is something known
as a Fata Morgana,
531
00:31:23,632 --> 00:31:26,176
and, uh, that's a‐an illusion
type of effect.
532
00:31:27,636 --> 00:31:28,804
Think of a mirage,
533
00:31:28,804 --> 00:31:30,305
in which you're seeing something
534
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:31,890
close to the horizon,
535
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:33,850
and it'll give an effect
of something
536
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:35,519
that's‐that's not there.
537
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:37,020
It's an atmospheric illusion.
538
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:39,397
The reason that I don't think
539
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:41,983
that this is
a Fata Morgana effect
540
00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:46,446
is because this is way
too high up to be one.
541
00:31:47,864 --> 00:31:49,491
Using the idea that
542
00:31:49,491 --> 00:31:51,576
this is some type
of inversion layer
543
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,913
to somehow broadcast or enhance
the idea of a cityscape
544
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:56,957
in the sky just doesn't hold up.
545
00:31:56,957 --> 00:32:00,043
So, there could in fact
have been some type
546
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:03,672
of a large mother ship
or some craft in the sky.
547
00:32:03,672 --> 00:32:04,840
This isn't new.
548
00:32:07,008 --> 00:32:08,718
Now, just a few days later,
549
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:10,679
over 800 miles away,
550
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:13,849
we had another sighting of
this exact same phenomenon.
551
00:32:13,849 --> 00:32:16,434
So, it stands to reason that
there was some type of
552
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:19,729
physical presence in the sky.
553
00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:23,358
If we assume that the vision
of a floating city in the sky
554
00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:26,236
that was seen in Foshan
by thousands of people
555
00:32:26,236 --> 00:32:28,113
was just some kind of
optical illusion,
556
00:32:28,113 --> 00:32:31,324
I find it highly coincidental
that the same vision is seen
557
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,535
hundreds of miles away
a few days later
558
00:32:33,535 --> 00:32:35,662
in another city called Jiangxi,
559
00:32:35,662 --> 00:32:37,622
also witnessed
by thousands of people.
560
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:41,293
NARRATOR:
Could thousands of people
561
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,837
across China have really
witnessed
562
00:32:43,837 --> 00:32:46,423
some type of alien base
or mother ship
563
00:32:46,423 --> 00:32:48,216
floating in the sky?
564
00:32:51,178 --> 00:32:55,056
And if so, might it be evidence
of extraterrestrials
565
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:57,350
making their presence known?
566
00:32:57,350 --> 00:33:00,812
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
567
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:02,647
there have been many more cases
568
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:07,569
of alien entities appearing in
the skies above China.
569
00:33:07,569 --> 00:33:10,739
Cases that the government
could not ignore.
570
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:16,536
Zhejiang Province, China.
571
00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:19,539
July 7, 2010.
572
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:24,377
Just after 8:40 p. m.,
573
00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:26,880
the Hangzhou Xiaoshan
International Airport,
574
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,925
which serves over 70,000
passengers a day,
575
00:33:29,925 --> 00:33:33,678
is suddenly shut down.
576
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:35,889
All outbound flights
are grounded,
577
00:33:35,889 --> 00:33:40,352
and inbound flights
are diverted to nearby airports.
578
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:45,065
The cause of the shutdown was
an unidentified flying object
579
00:33:45,065 --> 00:33:47,651
seen streaking
across the night sky
580
00:33:47,651 --> 00:33:50,070
by a flight crew preparing
for descent.
581
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:56,493
Xiaoshan Airport is one
of the largest in China.
582
00:33:56,493 --> 00:33:58,495
And that's very important.
583
00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,705
It's a very busy airport.
584
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:04,542
What happened on July 7 is that
585
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,878
a pilot from an incoming
passenger airplane
586
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:09,798
noticed something very unusual
coming towards him.
587
00:34:09,798 --> 00:34:12,175
He notified the ground crew
588
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:15,095
and the airport was shut down
589
00:34:15,095 --> 00:34:19,182
because a comet‐like object
590
00:34:19,182 --> 00:34:21,393
was basically speeding
towards the airport.
591
00:34:23,144 --> 00:34:25,772
There was a trail behind it.
592
00:34:25,772 --> 00:34:28,817
It was a glowing,
oval‐shaped object.
593
00:34:28,817 --> 00:34:32,237
NARRATOR: The object was also
witnessed and photographed
594
00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:36,116
by numerous Hangzhou residents.
595
00:34:36,116 --> 00:34:39,494
When the UFO was seen,
all hell broke loose.
596
00:34:39,494 --> 00:34:41,830
Flights were diverted.
597
00:34:41,830 --> 00:34:43,748
The military was contacted
598
00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:46,001
to see if they were test‐flying
anything in the air,
599
00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:47,961
which they weren't.
600
00:34:47,961 --> 00:34:51,881
This is the third such incident
in five years in China
601
00:34:51,881 --> 00:34:55,719
where the presence of a UFO
has either shut down an airport
602
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:01,224
or caused havoc and amazement
amongst the populus.
603
00:35:01,224 --> 00:35:03,560
And it's clearly something
that the Chinese government
604
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,895
want to shut down and play down.
605
00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:09,482
It could also be due to the fact
that the Chinese have realized
606
00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:12,902
they're not in control of their
airspace, somebody else is.
607
00:35:12,902 --> 00:35:14,946
(speaking Chinese)
608
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:17,198
(translated): The Xiaoshan event
is only one of the events
609
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:18,825
of this kind.
610
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:22,954
The same thing happened
in Guizhou Province.
611
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:26,916
At that time, the pilots were
instructed to avoid the UFO,
612
00:35:26,916 --> 00:35:29,169
ground their aircrafts
613
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,838
and return to the air
after the event,
614
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:34,591
which can provide evidence
of the existence
615
00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:36,468
of the UFO phenomenon.
616
00:35:40,263 --> 00:35:42,390
NARRATOR:
While many in the United States
617
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:46,186
view the UFO phenomenon
as distinctly American,
618
00:35:46,186 --> 00:35:48,355
recent surveys have shown
619
00:35:48,355 --> 00:35:52,233
that roughly half of the
1.4 billion Chinese people
620
00:35:52,233 --> 00:35:56,655
believe in UFOs
and extraterrestrial life.
621
00:35:56,655 --> 00:35:59,824
And ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
622
00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:02,702
that despite the Chinese
government's dismissal
623
00:36:02,702 --> 00:36:05,038
of recent UFO events,
624
00:36:05,038 --> 00:36:06,956
it now appears
625
00:36:06,956 --> 00:36:09,167
they too are taking an interest
626
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:12,796
in otherworldly phenomena.
627
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:15,507
It's incredibly popular
in China to be a member
628
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:18,301
of a UFO community
that's trying to make contact
629
00:36:18,301 --> 00:36:20,720
with extraterrestrial beings.
630
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,515
The Chinese government
is closely monitoring this
631
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,600
and in fact they're financing
some of these research groups.
632
00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:29,354
So, one wonders,
633
00:36:29,354 --> 00:36:31,690
is the Chinese government
starting to view
634
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:33,566
our contact with
extraterrestrial beings
635
00:36:33,566 --> 00:36:36,069
as something simply
too strong to deny?
636
00:36:36,069 --> 00:36:40,448
NARRATOR: Could recent events be
forcing the Chinese government
637
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:43,284
to take a greater interest
in examining possible
638
00:36:43,284 --> 00:36:45,954
extraterrestrial encounters?
639
00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:50,667
Encounters that they have
secretly known about for years?
640
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:54,087
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
641
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:57,924
and suggest that China's effort
to manufacture
642
00:36:57,924 --> 00:37:00,969
the world's largest
radio telescope
643
00:37:00,969 --> 00:37:05,557
is an explicit mission towards
the search for alien life.
644
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:17,902
NARRATOR
Guizhou Province, China.
645
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:19,612
2011.
646
00:37:22,115 --> 00:37:26,244
Construction commences
on a massive engineering
647
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,830
and scientific endeavor.
648
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:34,085
A 500‐meter telescope,
also known as FAST.
649
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:39,799
Nan Rendong, chief scientist
of the FAST project states,
650
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:43,553
"A radio telescope is
like a sensitive ear,
651
00:37:43,553 --> 00:37:46,973
separating radio messages from
white noise in the universe."
652
00:37:49,476 --> 00:37:52,061
The Chinese government
is currently constructing
653
00:37:52,061 --> 00:37:56,191
what will be the largest radio
telescope anywhere in the world.
654
00:37:56,191 --> 00:38:00,945
The reflector dish will be
500 meters in diameter
655
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:05,617
and this will dwarf any other
comparable facility.
656
00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:09,913
It will be the best piece of
equipment for 20 or 30 years
657
00:38:09,913 --> 00:38:12,207
when it comes
to radio astronomy.
658
00:38:16,169 --> 00:38:18,171
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists
659
00:38:18,171 --> 00:38:21,633
point to the construction
of this behemoth telescope
660
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:26,346
as proof that China is deeply
interested in extraterrestrials.
661
00:38:28,056 --> 00:38:31,309
Do they know there are aliens
out there?
662
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,186
Are they trying to get absolute,
663
00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:35,897
verifiable proof positive
664
00:38:35,897 --> 00:38:39,609
and be the first nation
to disclose?
665
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:42,987
The Chinese government was very
clear in stating
666
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:46,533
that this dish was built
specifically
667
00:38:46,533 --> 00:38:49,118
for the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence.
668
00:38:49,118 --> 00:38:51,704
So then the question arises,
669
00:38:51,704 --> 00:38:54,707
are they merely following up
on their history?
670
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:57,043
Because China,
671
00:38:57,043 --> 00:39:00,338
as with every other
ancient culture,
672
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:02,423
was visited
by extraterrestrials.
673
00:39:05,552 --> 00:39:08,263
What is their interest
in exploring deep space?
674
00:39:12,392 --> 00:39:15,687
NARRATOR: The telescope
was completed in July of 2016
675
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:18,940
and is regarded
as a giant leap forward
676
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:22,068
with unprecedented precision
that will allow
677
00:39:22,068 --> 00:39:25,780
the Chinese government to survey
not only the Milky Way
678
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:28,157
but also distant galaxies
679
00:39:28,157 --> 00:39:31,911
for radio signals
and signs of life.
680
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:34,581
While many other nations
are currently designing
681
00:39:34,581 --> 00:39:37,959
or constructing
advanced radio telescopes,
682
00:39:37,959 --> 00:39:41,254
none will surpass
the size and capability
683
00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:43,506
of the FAST telescope.
684
00:39:43,506 --> 00:39:46,301
Wu Xiangping, director‐general
685
00:39:46,301 --> 00:39:50,597
of the Chinese Astronomical
Society, declared,
686
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,141
"It will help us to search
for intelligent life
687
00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:55,602
"outside the galaxy
688
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:58,730
and explore the origins
of the universe."
689
00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:02,609
POPE: Out there somewhere might
civilizations
690
00:40:02,609 --> 00:40:06,362
be posting scientific
and technical information
691
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:07,989
that they've discovered?
692
00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:12,827
And the first nation
to download this information
693
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,288
will have a huge advantage.
694
00:40:15,288 --> 00:40:17,498
They'll be the dominant force
on this planet
695
00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:19,375
for the foreseeable future.
696
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,461
Do the Chinese want to be first?
697
00:40:21,461 --> 00:40:23,504
Do they know it's out there?
698
00:40:23,504 --> 00:40:25,757
And is this radio telescope
699
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:28,426
an attempt to go
and get that information?
700
00:40:29,344 --> 00:40:31,804
(speaking Chinese)
701
00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:34,766
(translated): I think it's good
and encouraging that our country
702
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:38,061
is constructing
such a huge telescope.
703
00:40:38,061 --> 00:40:40,438
It will help to find aliens
704
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:42,357
and alien civilization.
705
00:40:45,985 --> 00:40:47,737
STONEHILL:
For thousands of years,
706
00:40:47,737 --> 00:40:51,115
Chinese people have collected
reports about UFO encounters
707
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:53,701
and have recorded them.
708
00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:57,538
And those who studied are amazed
at the accuracy
709
00:40:57,538 --> 00:41:01,000
and just the sheer wealth
of the UFO information
710
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,628
coming from China,
and I hope this will continue.
711
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:07,465
TSOUKALOS:
As China slowly opens its doors,
712
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:10,718
is it possible that we'll
encounter that the stories
713
00:41:10,718 --> 00:41:13,763
of the Yellow Emperor
are in fact true?
714
00:41:13,763 --> 00:41:17,016
That they were visited
by extraterrestrial beings
715
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:18,601
in the remote past?
716
00:41:18,601 --> 00:41:20,520
Only time will tell.
717
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,691
Could it be that China
718
00:41:24,691 --> 00:41:27,402
is building the world's
largest radio telescope
719
00:41:27,402 --> 00:41:31,698
not in hopes of finding proof
of alien life in the universe
720
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:36,577
but in order to welcome new
messages from extraterrestrials
721
00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:38,746
that have been visiting China
for thousands of years?
722
00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:44,293
And could stories
of flying dragons,
723
00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:45,795
Yellow Emperors,
724
00:41:45,795 --> 00:41:49,382
and the existence of strange,
secret pyramids
725
00:41:49,382 --> 00:41:52,427
be the proof that
ancient astronaut theorists
726
00:41:52,427 --> 00:41:54,095
have been looking for?
727
00:41:54,095 --> 00:41:57,181
One thing is certain‐‐
728
00:41:57,181 --> 00:42:01,477
the evidence of extraterrestrial
contact is mounting.
729
00:42:01,477 --> 00:42:03,396
And the ultimate close encounter
730
00:42:03,396 --> 00:42:04,647
could soon happen
731
00:42:04,647 --> 00:42:08,901
right before our eyes.
