Ancient paintings
of strange, humanlike figures,

rocks engraved
thousands of years ago

with images of flying machines,

and stone carvings

of what appear to be astronauts.

For more than a decade,

Ancient Aliens
has traveled the globe

to examine some
of the most extraordinary

and mysterious rock art
ever discovered.

Now, we're investigating
the Top Ten Alien Petroglyphs

that just may hold the proof
that Earth has been visited

by extraterrestrials.

On Ancient Aliens,
we have investigated

some of the most
mysterious carvings

and paintings ever discovered.

Our ancestors spent
countless hours

leaving strange images
and symbols on stone

to create a record
of what they experienced.

And at one site in Nevada,

the rock art is not only
some of the oldest in the world

but predates any known
civilization in North America.

At number ten on our countdown

of the Top Ten
Alien Petroglyphs:

The Rock Art of Winnemucca Lake.

In the dried-up bed

of what was once Winnemucca Lake

are several limestone
boulders that are covered

with what appear
to be ancient carvings.

In Nevada are some
of the most remarkable

petroglyphs found on Earth.

They're called
the Winnemucca Petroglyphs.

They are extremely large,

extremely deep-cut,

beautiful pans of leaves,
zigzags, spirals

and other motifs.

It's a remarkable site.

So far, researchers
have been unable

to determine what
the abstract patterns mean.

But what's even more mysterious

is the fact
that the local Paiute people

say the petroglyphs were not
created by their ancestors

but by a race of giants.

The Paiutes said that initially

they did not create petroglyphs,

that an ancient race, uh,
called the Si-Te-Cah did.

The Si-Te-Cah
was a race of giants

that was said to have
been white-complected,

having red hair,
and well over seven foot tall.

The Paiutes explained
that these giants

lived on the lake in Pyramid
Lake, on floating cities.

In 2013, samples
of the limestone were taken

to the University of Colorado
at Boulder

where scientists performed
a series of radiocarbon tests

on sediment within
the petroglyphs

to determine their age.

The results were astonishing.

They revealed
the carvings were etched

between 10,500
and 14,800 years ago,

making them
the oldest petroglyphs

ever found in North America.

And what's so special about
these is their extreme age

because no one
was supposed to be living

in North America at that time.

This is before the Clovis,

this is before
the first settlers

in North America,
so who could have done this?

Could the petroglyphs
at Winnemucca Lake

really have been created
by an ancient race of giants?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest that the origins
of these mysterious beings

was even recorded
into the stone.

When we look at petroglyphs
with their incredible spirals,

the doorways, the strange
beings that are featured,

the stories that are told,

it suggests
that they all have an origin

with extraterrestrials
themselves.

If you travel 800 miles
southeast from Winnemucca Lake,

you will come
to a remarkable site in Arizona.

It's a place where the Navajo
people carved thousands

of petroglyphs into rock walls
and cliffs centuries ago.

The images tell a story
of their encounters

with celestial visitors
called "the star people."

Number nine on our list:
Rock Art Ranch.

Ancient astronaut theorists

Giorgio Tsoukalos
and William Henry

have traveled to Rock Art Ranch
to investigate

one of North America's
most extensive

collections of petroglyphs.

This is sensational.

Joining them is
esteemed Navajo Tribal Ranger

Jon Dover.

Rock Art Ranch's 5,000 acres

are home to nearly
3,000 ancient petroglyphs,

and on nearly every panel
are figures that the Navajo

identify as star people.

Tell me, Jon, petroglyphs
are regarded as

picture books
that tell a story all at once.

That's right,
and also en-enmeshed

- in all this are religious symbols.
- Mm-hmm.

Things that tell you something

- about how they worshipped, pictures of gods.
- Mm-hmm.

- And when you say gods...
- Gods, right.

...what, in-in your culture,
what does that mean?

It could be anything
from somebody coming to them

and meeting with them
and imparting knowledge.

And in the case of the Navajo,

that's what
the Yeibichai represent.

In the case of the Hopis,

the Kachinas
represent those gods...

- Right.
- ...that came to Earth

to give them knowledge.

And could one make the argument

that these
may have been visitations

by flesh and blood
extraterrestrials

- in ancient times?
- Oh, definitely.

From what we understand,

there's many different races

of alien that are coming
t-to this world.

Jon guides Giorgio and William

to another site
at Rock Art Ranch

with even more
strange petroglyphs.

- Wow.
- Look at this.

- I mean, look at the hollow body with the star inside.
- Mm-hmm.

One hand pointing to the sky,
the other down to Earth.

And just beneath that,

look at... that is a Grey alien.

That triangular head.

- Very strange.
- That is.

You have all kinds
of different types of figures,

different representations
of gods.

Right. I mean, what we have to
fill in with our imagination

is that these beings
off the wall, 3D,

- walking amongst the people.
- Yeah.

Look at all the different
types of beings here.

And then all the way
across there,

y-you've still got
even more variety.

I mean, this is almost like

a meeting place
of all these different worlds

and different beings.

So, you know, you have giants,

you have little people.

And the giants
and the little people

are talked about
in th-the other world

that they came from before
they came to this world.

And seeing creatures
here having,

- for example, three fingers.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, as far as I know,

uh, except for
a couple of reptiles,

there aren't any
three-fingered creatures.

- No.
- You know? So, and especially nothing humanoid.

- Right.
- So, again, our ancestors

had impeccable powers
of observation.

- That's right.
- That's all they did all day.

- They-they observed.
- Mm-hmm.

And so your estimation,
then, too,

is that this was
not a bunch of kids,

you know, on a Saturday night
not knowing what to do.

Absolutely not.

These, these were people
that came here with a purpose.

And the purpose was to put

their history on the wall

showing where they came from,

where they were going.

Do the petroglyphs
at Rock Art Ranch

present a historical record

of extraterrestrial visitation

in the distant past?

For Jon and many who share
the traditional beliefs

of their ancestors,

the answer is a resounding yes.

I believe that these visitations
have been documented

in pictographs and petroglyphs.

They're not art, actually,
for art's sake.

The petroglyphs
have been done this way

for basically
thousands of years.

And that tells me

that there were a lot
of different types of beings

that were interacting

with early Natives,

with early Natives,

much more than
we even, uh, think.

Some of the most incredible
rock art I have ever seen

can be found on one of the most
remote islands on Earth.

And in my opinion

what the people who
carved it were depicting

was actually misunderstood
alien technology.

Coming in at number eight

on our countdown of the Top Ten
Alien Petroglyphs:

The Birdmen of Easter Island.

This remote landmass
in the South Pacific

is famous for
the colossal stone statues,

called moai, that dot its coast.

But on the southwestern tip
of the island

are a serious of equally
mysterious petroglyphs

that represent one of Easter
Island's oldest creation myths...

the legend of Tangata manu,

or the birdmen.

According to the Rapa Nui,

the Indigenous people
of Easter Island,

when the great creator god
looked in the mirror,

he saw a bird over his shoulder

and thought the image was good.

And so he created a creature

that was a combination
of bird and human.

But the creator god
was still lonely.

So he created humans.

But the humans
worshipped the birdman

because that was
the great god's first creation.

One of the central focuses
of the rituals,

the annual rituals
at Easter Island,

was that of Tangata manu,
the birdman.

And the birdman
is a universal symbol

that we find
in many parts of the globe

that relates to ancestry

associated with figures,

characters in feather coats
who were seen

to be able to go between
this world and the next.

The birdman motif
is found in Egypt

with Horus the savior figure

and Thoth the god
of divine magic and alchemy.

We find birdmen in among
the Maya with Quetzalcoatl,

the feathered serpent,
a birdman.

We also find birdmen
in Cahokia, Illinois.

When we look
at the birdman legend,

it always has
a cosmic connection,

that these are humanoid figures

that also have
a celestial dimension to them.

They can fly, they can ascend,

therefore they're
referred to as birdmen.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the most intriguing
depiction of birdmen

can be found
by examining the stories

of the Sumerian civilization

that emerged 5,000 years ago

and the beings they called
the Anunnaki.

The term Anunnaki means "those
who from the heavens came."

And our ancestors thought

they were being visited
by these divine magical beings.

In the ancient Sumerian texts,

they were described as bringing
knowledge and science.

They were often depicted
as bird-type people.

So we have to ask ourselves,
are these birdmen

actually representatives
of the Anunnaki

who are extraterrestrials

who appeared all over
the world in prehistory?

For ancient astronaut
theorists like me,

many of the mysterious images
created by our ancestors

provide compelling clues

that suggest extraterrestrials
visited Earth

thousands of years ago.

However, at one site
in Northern California,

the carvings aren't just
records of the distant past

but depict UFOs
that are still seen today.

Number seven on our countdown:

The Petroglyphs
at Lava Beds National Monument.

60 miles northeast
of Mount Shasta,

at Lava Beds National Monument,

are thousands of petroglyphs.

These large geometric carvings

were created
as much as 6,000 years ago

by ancestors of the Modoc tribe.

Lava Beds
has probably over 5,000

different petroglyphs.

And a lot of these
were done down in caves.

A lot of the rock art
you find in Lava Beds

is very different and unusual

from rock art you find
in other places of America.

One of the most striking
images you find in Lava Beds

is an image of Mount Shasta
carved into a cliffside,

and inside of it is a depiction
of some kind of being.

According to the Modoc,

this figure represents
their creator, known as Skell.

The local people

believe that in ancient times,

the great Sky Chief Skell

came down from the sky

to live in Shasta

and has been there
ever since and protects it.

Is it possible this petroglyph

represents an otherworldly being

that the Modoc people
encountered centuries ago?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest further
evidence can be found

by examining the bizarre stories

that have been associated
with Mount Shasta for centuries.

I was driving back
from, uh, Klamath Falls.

It was, eh, around 7:00 in
the evening in the summertime.

All of a sudden
I seen the whole mountain

toward Yreka side open up.

And then this big ship came

and hovered for a minute
and then went right in.

And the next thing you know,
the mountain closed,

and I was like,
"What is going on?"

Almost everyone who lives there

has-has seen something unusual.

One of the most remarkable
UFO sightings I've heard of,

it took place in 2008.

Witnesses in the town of McCloud

saw a UFO that looked
like a giant glowing jellyfish

move over the town and then
fly off into the distance.

For many hundreds of years,
Mount Shasta

has been known
for mysterious lights.

They seem to just manifest
out of the mountain.

So, what is it
that might be responsible

for causing this activity?

I believe that places
like Mount Shasta

are in many ways Earth portals.

They are places of connection

between this world
and somewhere else altogether.

Is it possible that
the mysterious winged figure

at Lava Beds National Monument

is connected
to the UFO sightings

that continue to be reported
around Mount Shasta?

The petroglyph that shows

something coming out
of the mountain,

that's basically what,
what I seen right here

when it happened to me.

That's what I seen.

And I-I guess maybe
I had to see it, too,

before I could believe.

In 2014,
a mysterious cave painting

was found in India
that I believe

contains some
of the best evidence yet

that our ancestors encountered
extraterrestrial beings.

Number six on our countdown:

Charama Rock.

Central India, July 2014.

While exploring caves
in the region of Charama,

Indian archaeologist J.R. Bhagat

makes a stunning discovery.

He finds an incredibly
well-preserved

10,000-year-old cave painting

that depicts
several large humanoid figures.

Very recently,
in the Charama region of India,

there was a cave
that was discovered with

paintings that appear
to show creatures

with kind of
distorted-looking faces,

no noses, no mouths.

They seem to be holding weapons.

Archaeologists said
that some of them

appeared to be
wearing space suits.

The Times of India
actually proposed the idea,

what if what we have
depicted here

are some type of
extraterrestrials

or at least some type
of flying craft?

Because it's the basis

for much of
the Hindu pantheon of gods.

Ancient Hindu texts
feature stories

about intelligent beings
existing on other planets,

like the Mahabharata,

which tells of the gods coming
to Earth in flying machines.

In the Mahabharata,

there they write that one day,

gigantic cities
surrounded the Earth.

They did not have a word
for "spaceship" at that time.

They say "cities."

And they make clear difference

that these cities
were in the firmament,

not in heaven.

And small vehicles came down

from these cities
on the firmament.

The old Indians called
these vehicles "vimanas."

And out of the vimanas,
the teachers came out.

No doubt they were visited

by extraterrestrials.

Might the figures
in the cave paintings

of Charama be depictions
of extraterrestrials

witnessed by our ancestors

as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

Perhaps the answer can be found

in the local legends
of a mysterious race of beings

known as the Rohela.

The locals told them stories
of space beings,

Rohelas they called them.

Tiny beings that landed in craft

and would abduct
one or two humans at a time

never to return.

What's incredible about this is

that this is not
ancient astronaut theorists

looking at this art and saying,
"Hey, this looks like

"it could be some sort
of a space being

or extraterrestrial."

This is what
the locals are saying.

In the early 20th century,
archaeologists discovered

some very mysterious cave art
in the Sahara Desert,

and the experts who studied it

found it to be
out of this world.

Number five on our list:

The Tassili Astronauts.

Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria.

Located on a vast plateau
of the Saharan Desert

lies an incredible collection
of prehistoric cave art.

The ancient paintings
cover an area

of 28,000 square miles

and are believed
to be 12,000 years old.

The scenes that you see
at Tassili n'Ajjer

are totally bizarre.

They're showing a Sahara
that was once fertile

with giraffes and antelope
and other animals

we find only
in Central Africa really.

And combined with them
are these bizarre pictures

of what even the archaeologists
have called

the Martians and the spacemen.

The petroglyphs that we find
there are incredible.

They look like
modern-day astronauts

with suits, with helmets,
with visors.

And even the ethnologists
who found those rock paintings

actually called it
"the astronaut."

It's called
the Tassili astronaut.

Might the figures

painted throughout
Tassili n'Ajjer

be depictions
of otherworldly beings,

as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

Perhaps the answer can be found
in the oral history

of a mysterious
West African tribe

known as the Dogon.

There's a really
incredible story

of the Dogon that describe

an ancestor spirit called Nommo

that descended from the sky

in a loud, noisy whirlwind

that made the earth
shake when it landed.

And their knowledge
of everything

was given to them by that being

that descended from the sky.

In the 1930s,
when French anthropologists

were first discussing the Nommo
with these Dogon priests,

the Dogon priests
said that the Nommo

were coming from
the star system of Sirius.

Well, the French anthropologists
were amazed at that

and were confused as well.

According to the Dogon,

the Nommo didn't come
from Sirius A...

a star that is clearly visible
in the evening sky...

but from its tiny companion.

A dying star called Sirius B
that can only be seen

with advanced,
high-powered telescopes.

Here, we have this ancient
tribe that says that,

well, no, Sirius is
not a single star at all

but actually
a double-starred system,

and how could they
have known it,

given the fact that it
requires telescopes

to see the double star?

Well, one theory is,
maybe the aliens

gave them this knowledge.

It can't be ruled out.

That's one possibility

because they got it
right on the dot.

The Dogon have
always been focused upon

in the sense
that they have this story,

this information
about their ancestors

who somehow had this contact

with this nonhuman intelligence.

Now, the question is,
how did they attain this?

It really might come
from the Sahara Desert,

from specifically culture
pockets like Tassili n'Ajjer

and that the Dogon are
descendants from these people.

Is it possible that the beings

described by the Dogon
are the same figures

depicted in the cave paintings
of Tassili n'Ajjer?

I think the power of
observation of our ancestors

was as powerful and as accurate
as it is today.

was as powerful and as accurate
as it is today.

And to attribute that motif

simply to only coincidence,

in my opinion,
does not hold water.

So one has to wonder,
are these extraterrestrials?

When it comes to
mysterious petroglyphs,

one of the most
extraordinary examples

we've investigated can
be found in the Italian Alps.

In 2019,
William Henry got to study

this remarkable piece firsthand.

Number four on our countdown

of the Top Ten
Alien Petroglyphs:

The Spaceman of Val Camonica.

Val Camonica, Italy.

June 13, 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist
William Henry

has traveled to this
UNESCO World Heritage Site

to investigate the area's
mysterious petroglyphs.

Hi, I'm William.
Nice to meet you. Pleasure.

Joining him is Luca Giarelli,

the head of the Val Camonica

Historical and Anthropological
Society.

This place is massive.

I'm ready, let's go.

I'm here at Val Camonica
because it is a treasure trove

of images from the ancient world

that have been well documented
and studied by scholars.

They don't agree
on the meaning of the images,

but some of them
are very open-minded

to the ancient astronaut theory.

Luca leads William to an area

with a panel
of ancient petroglyphs

that appear strikingly
familiar to modern eyes.

Wow.

Oh, look at that.

- Spaceman, exactly. Look at the helmet.
- Astronaut.

Right.

It's like he's glowing.

The Camunian rose.

Wow.

Archaeologists call
this mysterious object

the Camunian rose because
of its flowerlike shape.

While its exact meaning
is lost to history,

some believe it to be
a religious symbol

or a representation
of the movement of the stars.

But ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

it might also depict
something else...

the vessel that brought
these helmeted figures

to Val Camonica.

Luca, that-that looks
like a spaceship.

It's like you look up
in the sky,

and you would see this kind of
twirling, spinning ship

in the sky.

It seems to me,
just looking at it,

they are trying
to talk about beings

coming from other worlds,
maybe to this place.

Tell me about
that five-pointed star.

Mm-hmm.

Sometimes the-the stars
mean energy,

like energy from the stars
would come to this place,

or star beings
would come to this place.

Yeah...

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so this is
like a newspaper then.

It says, this was in the sky

above us at some point,
and this spaceman

came down and maybe met
the Camunian people.

According to ancient stories,

the nearby city of Turin

was founded by a character
from Greek mythology

called Phaethon,

who came to Earth
from the stars.

Legend states that Turin
was founded by the god Phaethon,

who is a son
of the sun god Helios,

and in the myth of Phaethon
we learn the story

of how he descended
to Earth in a fiery chariot...

...perhaps crashing
into Mount Musinè.

This also led to
something fortuitous

because he brought gifts
to this place,

he had great skills,
was a metallurgist,

and taught this
to the local people.

When we look at myths
such as the myth of Phaethon,

here is really
the story of a UFO

landing on a mountain

and interacting with the locals.

When we look
behind this myth of Phaethon,

perhaps this is what we're
also seeing at Val Camonica.

I think, given the connection
with the spacemen

that are etched into the rock,

we have to be open
to the possibility

that what the ancient artist
is trying to portray

is something that he
actually saw in the sky,

something coming out
of the heavens.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the Spaceman of Val Camonica

and the legends that surround it

are evidence that our ancestors

were visited
by extraterrestrial beings.

But an even more
compelling depiction

of these possible visitors

can be found on
the opposite side of the world

in the rock art of Australia.

Number three on our countdown:
The Wandjina.

Northwestern Australia.

Here, in a rugged desert region
known as Kimberley,

are dozens of caves
that are covered

in paintings of mysterious
figures called the Wandjina.

If you look at these Wandjina
figures in the cave art,

they have big, white faces.

They have really
no mouth to speak of.

They have very large,
black eyes,

and there's a field
around their heads.

To the Aboriginal people

who have lived in Australia
for thousands of years,

the Wandjina
are important figures

in their creation myths.

The Aboriginals have
all kinds of ancient stories

of Wandjina figures,
of great heroes

and sky gods who manipulated
the continent,

created the rivers
and mountains,

and fought amongst each other
and then they left.

We all have stories
of people in crafts

coming from the stars,
going to the stars, and so on.

In order to keep them, pass them
down to next generation

we carved them, we painted them.
We sung them.

We danced them in stories

to guarantee
that they passed down.

So when the visitors left,
we didn't forget about them.

And we never forget about

the things
that they passed down to us

and the knowledge
they passed down.

In many ways,
these Wandjina figures

look exactly like Grey aliens.

And you have to wonder, then,

if the cave art is depicting
extraterrestrials.

The Wandjina petroglyphs

are actual physical
representations

of what the First Nation
people of Australia

of what the First Nation
people of Australia

actually witnessed.

So this to me is
an incredible treasure trove

for the ancient
astronaut theory.

Of all the mysterious
petroglyphs

we've examined
on Ancient Aliens,

some of the most astounding
can be found

in the American Southwest.

The region is chock-full
of carvings

that show strange
humanoid figures

who came down from the sky.

At number two on our countdown:

The Rock Art of Utah.

Nine Mile Canyon, Eastern Utah.

Often described as "the world's
longest art gallery,"

the red sandstone cliffs that
border this 46-mile-long canyon

are covered with more
than 10,000 petroglyphs.

Many depict hunting scenes

and contain images of animals
found in the region.

But one mysterious panel

seems oddly out of place.

One of the most
important galleries

is referred to
as the Family Panel.

What's interesting
about this one

is that it shows
these apparently luminous

humanoid-type beings

that appear
to have space suits on,

a helmet, even antennae.

The Navajos themselves claim

that these petroglyphs were from

people who were
before the flood,

before this cataclysm
had come to the Earth.

And they maintain
that these images

were many thousands
of years old.

Just 70 miles
south of Nine Mile Canyon,

in Sego Canyon,
another panel of petroglyphs

shows nearly identical figures.

They look like spacemen.

You have these strange creatures

that for all intents
and purposes

seem to be floating
up in the sky.

They appear to wear helmets.

Very strange.

So you have to ask, what was it

that inspired
these unusual images?

Is it possible
that they depict sky beings

who came down from the stars

to help the people,
which is what

the Native legends say?

According to the traditions
of the Navajo,

Fremont and Ute peoples

who have lived
in this area for centuries,

these figures represent visitors

who descended from the sky.

In talking about star people,

all Native American tribes

have these, uh, traditional
oral histories

that people came
from the stars to visit them.

And it's universal,
all across the United States

that these gods,
as we call them today,

came to Earth and visited
to provide knowledge.

The creation story,

if you understand it correctly,
we are all from the cosmos.

Our ancestors
were extraterrestrial.

The story is told
to Indigenous people

for thousands of years
through oral histories

and through the petroglyphs

and pictographs
and the sacred sites

that continue to be part of

our Native cultural traditions.

The Native Americans

traditionally use
a oral tradition.

Everything is spoken.

The oral traditions actually
go back thousands of years.

It's just the way it was.

And we've maintained
that tradition even to this day.

If in fact what we're seeing

are portraying visitors
from the stars,

it would make sense why they're
wearing these space suits.

Because they would
conceivably need protection

from Earth's atmosphere
and Earth's environment.

Do the petroglyphs
at Nine Mile Canyon

and Sego Canyon

point to Utah being a place

of ancient alien visitation?

Native American people
have been very clear

when they speak of celestial
beings that imparted knowledge.

when they speak of celestial
beings that imparted knowledge.

And so, if you compare that
to the ancient astronaut theory,

that's exactly
what it talks about,

that the knowledge was imparted

by beings who visited us.

While Utah has thousands
of petroglyphs

that feature mysterious beings,

one stands apart.

It depicts a group of figures

meeting with what appears to be

an extraterrestrial.

Number one on our list:

The Holy Ghost Panel.

Horseshoe Canyon, Utah.

Located within
Canyonlands National Park,

the sandstone walls
of this five-mile-long ravine

feature some of the most
remarkable petroglyphs

in the United States.

The intricate designs depict
Native American shamans

and the otherworldly creatures

they claimed
to communicate with.

Well, here we have
a classic shaman,

with the hourglass figure,

feet pointed outward,

arms which have bird's feet
at the end,

which signifies spirituality.

And it's got the horns
with the fringes coming out.

But one section
is of particular interest

to ancient astronaut theorists.

It's called the Ghost Panel.

When you see the Ghost Panel,
you see

what are seven or eight

very tall figures
in unusual garments.

They look like space suits.

They're wearing some long robes,

and it looks like they
have helmets and things on.

They're quite large
and very strange looking.

And certainly they look
like some kind of spacemen

or extraterrestrials
who have come down.

For researchers,

the most perplexing
part of the painting

is a curious detail
on the large central figure.

The central ghost-like figure,
which is called the Holy Ghost.

If you look at the head
of the Holy Ghost,

you'll see his two eyes
in the front of his face.

But if you look to the left,

you'll see the side of his head.

This is a device
which you do not see

in any prehistoric art,

and this motif is one
of the reasons why I-I feel

that this represents a-an event.

Archaeologists suggest

the Ghost Panel
was created 10,000 years ago.

Just who made these
images remains a mystery.

But ancient astronaut
theorists believe

clues can be found
within ancient traditions.

The Navajo, they tell us
that this rock art

was actually created
by their ancestors

who lived there long, long ago

and in fact were
the survivors of a flood.

The Navajo
referred to themselves

as descendants
of the Holy People.

And that these Holy People
in fact helped them

emerge after a cataclysm.

The story of mysterious,
humanoid beings

assisting Native peoples
has been recounted

for centuries
in the American Southwest.

Many researchers believe

these encounters
were so significant

that they were carved in stone.

For hundreds of years,

the Native Americans
who lived in that area

called the Ghost Panel

the Panel of the Star People.

Clearly, they are strangers

of some kind to these people.

And if that's what it was,

then we might assume that they

are depicting extraterrestrials.

The moment you lay eyes
on the Holy Ghost Panel,

you know you're looking
at something extraordinary.

And it's much more
than a mere coincidence

that all around the world

our ancestors made
carvings and paintings

of mysterious beings
that they believe

came from the sky.

Could it be
that these illustrations

are all telling the same story?

That we were visited
in the distant past

by extraterrestrials.
