1
00:00:02,292 --> 00:00:03,500
NARRATOR:
Mysterious encounters
2
00:00:03,667 --> 00:00:05,458
reported in the same locations
3
00:00:05,542 --> 00:00:07,000
for thousands of years.
4
00:00:07,125 --> 00:00:09,292
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
In Delphi, you see
5
00:00:09,417 --> 00:00:12,208
aerial phenomena
that can be traced back
6
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:15,167
all the way to ancient times.
7
00:00:15,292 --> 00:00:18,417
NARRATOR:
Places where mass UFO sightings
8
00:00:18,542 --> 00:00:20,083
are a common occurrence.
9
00:00:20,208 --> 00:00:21,833
WILLIAM HENRY:
The Hudson Valley
10
00:00:21,958 --> 00:00:24,833
exploded with sightings of UFOs.
11
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:28,375
PHILIP IMBROGNO:
We're not talking about one
or two people seeing something.
12
00:00:28,542 --> 00:00:31,375
The number of witnesses
go into the thousands.
13
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:34,708
NARRATOR:
Areas known for even stranger
14
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:37,167
and often disturbing phenomena.
15
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:39,167
Skinwalker Ranch is a place
16
00:00:39,292 --> 00:00:42,542
that produces anomalous lights,
17
00:00:42,708 --> 00:00:44,167
we have cow mutilations,
18
00:00:44,292 --> 00:00:46,125
portals opening up,
19
00:00:46,208 --> 00:00:49,167
giant wolves coming
out of these portals.
20
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:52,167
NARRATOR:
Could so-called UFO hot spots
21
00:00:52,292 --> 00:00:55,000
reveal important clues about
22
00:00:55,167 --> 00:00:56,875
an alien presence on Earth?
23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,833
NICK POPE:
I think these hot spots
24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,792
are hugely significant
25
00:01:01,917 --> 00:01:04,792
for our understanding of UFOs.
26
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:09,417
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
27
00:01:09,542 --> 00:01:12,167
in the universe.
28
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:15,292
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
29
00:01:16,875 --> 00:01:18,875
It demands
we question everything
30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,167
we have ever been taught.
31
00:01:21,292 --> 00:01:25,333
The evidence is all around us.
32
00:01:25,458 --> 00:01:28,917
The future is
right before our eyes.
33
00:01:29,042 --> 00:01:31,625
We are not alone.
34
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:35,292
We have never been alone.
35
00:01:42,917 --> 00:01:47,333
San Diego. July 15, 2019.
36
00:01:48,417 --> 00:01:50,125
In the middle of
an otherwise peaceful night,
37
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:54,667
the USS Omaha Combat
Information Center
38
00:01:54,792 --> 00:01:56,292
records an astonishing event
39
00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:58,458
off the coast of
Southern California.
40
00:01:58,542 --> 00:02:02,125
An unidentified,
oval-shaped craft
41
00:02:02,208 --> 00:02:04,667
is witnessed performing
mysterious maneuvers
42
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:09,167
in restricted airspace
around a U.S. Navy destroyer.
43
00:02:09,292 --> 00:02:11,458
It is an amazing piece
of footage
44
00:02:11,583 --> 00:02:14,625
showing a UFO
hovering over the sea.
45
00:02:17,542 --> 00:02:19,708
POPE: And then, apparently,
descending into the ocean.
46
00:02:22,333 --> 00:02:25,208
NARRATOR:
When the footage
is leaked to the public
47
00:02:25,333 --> 00:02:29,167
by investigative filmmaker
Jeremy Corbell two years later,
48
00:02:29,292 --> 00:02:33,333
its authenticity is quickly
confirmed by the Pentagon.
49
00:02:34,625 --> 00:02:36,625
JEREMY CORBELL:
I knew that it would
strike a chord.
50
00:02:36,708 --> 00:02:38,000
You can see the structure
51
00:02:38,167 --> 00:02:40,167
of the craft being
oval or circular.
52
00:02:41,417 --> 00:02:44,000
You can see that it doesn't
have these plumes of exhaust
53
00:02:44,167 --> 00:02:46,292
or heat trails or any
traditional propulsion.
54
00:02:46,417 --> 00:02:49,083
What you're seeing
is a technology
55
00:02:49,208 --> 00:02:51,167
that is so far advanced
56
00:02:51,292 --> 00:02:53,250
from anything that
we have ever created
57
00:02:53,375 --> 00:02:55,167
or shown in the theater of war,
58
00:02:55,333 --> 00:02:57,583
which is where we show
our greatest technologies.
59
00:02:58,875 --> 00:03:01,500
NARRATOR:
The strange incident
was more than intriguing
60
00:03:01,667 --> 00:03:03,625
to UFO researchers,
61
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,583
not only because of
how the craft maneuvered,
62
00:03:05,708 --> 00:03:09,917
but also because of
the area where it appeared.
63
00:03:11,417 --> 00:03:14,000
ANDREW COLLINS:
Off the coast of
San Diego in California
64
00:03:14,125 --> 00:03:17,625
is somewhere that UFOs or UAPs
65
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:21,208
have been appearing
regularly for decades.
66
00:03:21,375 --> 00:03:24,000
NARRATOR:
Since 1995,
67
00:03:24,125 --> 00:03:26,333
more than 1,000 UFO sightings
68
00:03:26,417 --> 00:03:29,167
have been reported
in the San Diego area.
69
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:33,083
RALPH BLUMENTHAL:
All these reports of sightings
were not just made up.
70
00:03:33,208 --> 00:03:34,458
They can be photographed.
71
00:03:35,458 --> 00:03:36,417
There's something up there,
72
00:03:36,542 --> 00:03:38,167
and sometimes down in the water,
73
00:03:38,292 --> 00:03:39,833
that no one understands.
74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,208
More and more, the military
75
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:45,833
is acknowledging
that it's interested,
76
00:03:45,958 --> 00:03:49,875
giving credibility to the fact
that these things exist.
77
00:03:50,042 --> 00:03:54,167
BILL BIRNES:
When you realize
that the San Diego Naval Base
78
00:03:54,292 --> 00:03:57,250
is one of the most
restricted naval bases,
79
00:03:57,375 --> 00:04:00,458
restricted areas,
in the country,
80
00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:04,833
UFOs are flying back and forth
over the ships, over the base.
81
00:04:06,042 --> 00:04:08,250
NARRATOR:
The number of UFO reports
82
00:04:08,375 --> 00:04:12,083
occurring in San Diego
may appear quite significant.
83
00:04:12,208 --> 00:04:14,667
However, it is just one
84
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:17,500
of several locations
around the globe
85
00:04:17,583 --> 00:04:19,833
where similar incidents
are often reported
86
00:04:19,958 --> 00:04:21,708
and documented.
87
00:04:22,833 --> 00:04:26,875
Locations that have come
to be known as UFO hot spots.
88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,833
A UFO hot spot is
a physical space
89
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,750
where sightings of unusual
aerial phenomena are common.
90
00:04:36,042 --> 00:04:40,750
There's usually a perceivable
unusual energy at the site.
91
00:04:40,875 --> 00:04:44,500
There's been a long history
of sightings at these places.
92
00:04:45,708 --> 00:04:50,333
COLLINS: UFO hot spots
are places where UFOs occur
93
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:55,625
not just across a few years
but across decades.
94
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:58,292
And of course
the question becomes,
95
00:04:58,375 --> 00:05:00,333
you know, why are
these places so important?
96
00:05:00,458 --> 00:05:04,500
Why is it that UFOs
can appear at them
97
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:07,042
more frequently
than anywhere else?
98
00:05:08,792 --> 00:05:12,583
IMBROGNO: One well-known
hot spot in the United States
99
00:05:12,708 --> 00:05:16,292
is the Hudson Valley
in New York state.
100
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:19,958
Here, we not only have
dozens of witnesses,
101
00:05:20,042 --> 00:05:21,542
but over a period of years,
102
00:05:21,708 --> 00:05:24,583
we have thousands of witnesses.
103
00:05:25,917 --> 00:05:29,542
CRAIG CAMPOBASSO:
Marfa is this mountain range
104
00:05:29,667 --> 00:05:31,167
in Texas,
105
00:05:31,292 --> 00:05:35,125
and it's these
strange anomalous lights
106
00:05:35,250 --> 00:05:38,458
that nobody has ever
been able to figure out.
107
00:05:39,417 --> 00:05:42,042
It's such a hot spot
108
00:05:42,167 --> 00:05:45,083
that the actual State of Texas
109
00:05:45,208 --> 00:05:47,667
built a viewing station
110
00:05:47,792 --> 00:05:50,500
where people can stop and rest
111
00:05:50,625 --> 00:05:53,417
and watch the Marfa lights
at night.
112
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:56,375
HENRY: The Bermuda Triangle
113
00:05:56,542 --> 00:06:00,000
is also a well-known
hot spot as well.
114
00:06:00,125 --> 00:06:02,750
Wiltshire, England is another.
115
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:06,500
Sedona has become
a very popular hot spot.
116
00:06:06,625 --> 00:06:09,667
And Skinwalker Ranch
in northern Utah
117
00:06:09,833 --> 00:06:12,333
is an outstanding
example of a hot spot.
118
00:06:12,417 --> 00:06:15,708
Native Americans
have said for centuries
119
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:17,500
that this is a place
where supernatural
120
00:06:17,583 --> 00:06:19,625
UFO activity occurs.
121
00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:22,500
It seems that a large proportion
122
00:06:22,625 --> 00:06:25,333
of sightings of UFOs or UAPs
123
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,667
in the modern world
do take place at-at hot spots.
124
00:06:29,875 --> 00:06:32,500
NARRATOR:
The perception of
so-called UFO hot spots
125
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:34,667
emerged in the aftermath
126
00:06:34,792 --> 00:06:37,750
of two of the most highly
publicized UFO incidents
127
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,292
in U.S. history,
which both took place
128
00:06:40,375 --> 00:06:42,917
in 1947.
129
00:06:45,833 --> 00:06:49,333
On June 27, near Mount Rainier
in Washington State,
130
00:06:49,458 --> 00:06:52,375
pilot Kenneth Arnold
reported seeing
131
00:06:52,542 --> 00:06:54,167
nine saucer-shaped craft
132
00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:56,167
flying in a coordinated pattern
133
00:06:56,250 --> 00:07:00,208
at a speed of approximately
1,200 miles per hour.
134
00:07:02,792 --> 00:07:05,917
Just one month later,
the infamous report
135
00:07:06,042 --> 00:07:08,208
of a UFO crash took place
136
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:10,458
in Roswell, New Mexico.
137
00:07:11,792 --> 00:07:14,917
LINDA MOULTON HOWE:
The July 8,
138
00:07:15,042 --> 00:07:17,542
1947, headline
139
00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:19,833
went around the world.
140
00:07:21,458 --> 00:07:23,333
In the Roswell Daily Record,
141
00:07:23,458 --> 00:07:25,708
"Flying saucer crashes
142
00:07:25,833 --> 00:07:29,208
into a pasture near Roswell."
143
00:07:30,708 --> 00:07:33,250
You start looking
at the timeline,
144
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:36,250
and what was happening
through 1947
145
00:07:36,375 --> 00:07:38,500
and beyond.
146
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:39,958
Our government,
147
00:07:40,042 --> 00:07:42,917
and other governments,
were developing
148
00:07:43,042 --> 00:07:45,375
gigantic, huge storage
149
00:07:45,542 --> 00:07:47,875
and files and folders
and departments
150
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,333
that were dedicated
to the secret study
151
00:07:50,458 --> 00:07:54,125
of UFOs and ETs on our planet.
152
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,542
NARRATOR:
Over the next two decades,
153
00:07:59,708 --> 00:08:01,667
thousands of
additional UFO sightings
154
00:08:01,792 --> 00:08:03,708
were reported around the world,
155
00:08:03,875 --> 00:08:05,958
prompting the U.S. government
156
00:08:06,083 --> 00:08:08,667
to launch an investigation
into the phenomenon.
157
00:08:08,792 --> 00:08:12,250
The study was given the code
name "Project Blue Book,"
158
00:08:12,375 --> 00:08:16,500
and while the program's official
findings were not definitive,
159
00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:20,167
a startling trend
appeared in the data.
160
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,583
MIKE RICKSECKER:
The renowned J. Allen Hynek,
161
00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:24,542
of Project Blue Book fame,
162
00:08:24,667 --> 00:08:27,625
wrote there's
a statistical analysis
163
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:31,500
that showed when and where
these occurrences happened,
164
00:08:31,625 --> 00:08:33,667
and a pattern started to emerge,
165
00:08:33,792 --> 00:08:35,542
such as UFO sightings,
166
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:38,333
lights in the sky,
anomalous activity,
167
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:40,625
in the American Southwest,
the Northeast,
168
00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:43,167
the Mississippi Valley,
and UFO researchers
169
00:08:43,292 --> 00:08:44,500
took notice of this
170
00:08:44,625 --> 00:08:45,667
and began to flock
to those areas
171
00:08:45,792 --> 00:08:47,542
to conduct their research.
172
00:08:48,542 --> 00:08:50,792
Researchers in the '50s
and the '60s,
173
00:08:50,917 --> 00:08:52,875
they went back through the data,
174
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,500
and sometimes, literally,
they would get out
175
00:08:55,625 --> 00:08:58,708
a map, and X marks the spot.
176
00:08:58,833 --> 00:09:00,875
And then they would notice,
177
00:09:01,042 --> 00:09:04,000
wait a minute,
there are these clusters,
178
00:09:04,167 --> 00:09:06,375
these strange hot spots.
179
00:09:06,542 --> 00:09:09,500
Areas where these events
180
00:09:09,667 --> 00:09:12,417
seem-seem to pile up
181
00:09:12,542 --> 00:09:14,083
for no apparent reason.
182
00:09:15,583 --> 00:09:17,458
BIRNES:
What researchers realized
183
00:09:17,583 --> 00:09:20,333
was that 60% to 70%
184
00:09:20,458 --> 00:09:22,125
of UFO sightings in America,
185
00:09:22,208 --> 00:09:24,708
turn up in the same spots
over and over again.
186
00:09:24,875 --> 00:09:26,875
And they realized
187
00:09:27,042 --> 00:09:29,708
that there was something
about those spots
188
00:09:29,833 --> 00:09:31,917
that was drawing UFO.
189
00:09:32,042 --> 00:09:34,292
RICKSECKER:
If we're trying
to solve a mystery,
190
00:09:34,375 --> 00:09:37,708
you want to go to a location
that has the most clues.
191
00:09:37,833 --> 00:09:39,917
And these are the locations
that could have the clues
192
00:09:40,042 --> 00:09:43,000
to connect our ancient
past to our modern reality,
193
00:09:43,167 --> 00:09:45,125
and perhaps give us
the answers we're seeking.
194
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,500
NARRATOR:
Could there really be
certain locations on Earth
195
00:09:49,667 --> 00:09:52,375
that attract
extraterrestrial visitors,
196
00:09:52,542 --> 00:09:54,958
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
197
00:09:56,583 --> 00:09:58,708
Perhaps further clues
can be found
198
00:09:58,833 --> 00:10:02,583
by examining what reportedly
took place at one such location,
199
00:10:02,708 --> 00:10:04,500
not in modern times,
200
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:07,958
but thousands
of years ago in Israel.
201
00:10:14,458 --> 00:10:17,792
NARRATOR:
October, 2000.
202
00:10:18,917 --> 00:10:21,167
While building a road
just east of the city,
203
00:10:21,250 --> 00:10:23,875
a construction crew
discovers the entrance
204
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,833
to an ancient
limestone cave dwelling.
205
00:10:26,917 --> 00:10:29,750
Archaeologists soon begin
206
00:10:29,875 --> 00:10:32,333
excavating the site,
known as the Qesem cave,
207
00:10:32,458 --> 00:10:34,667
and are shocked to determine
208
00:10:34,792 --> 00:10:39,208
that it was inhabited by
human beings 400,000 years ago.
209
00:10:41,542 --> 00:10:43,667
COLLINS:
What archaeologists found
210
00:10:43,833 --> 00:10:46,208
was a time capsule
of human activity
211
00:10:46,375 --> 00:10:49,542
from around 400,000 years ago,
212
00:10:49,667 --> 00:10:52,042
down to about 200,000 years ago.
213
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:55,833
And when they started
to investigate the cave,
214
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,333
they realized that
the so-called Qesem people
215
00:10:58,417 --> 00:11:02,458
were practicing shamanism
at this early stage.
216
00:11:02,542 --> 00:11:06,667
NARRATOR:
Evidence from the cave
shows that the Qesem people
217
00:11:06,792 --> 00:11:10,083
had skills considered
impossible for that time,
218
00:11:10,208 --> 00:11:14,167
including the ability
to make and use fire at will,
219
00:11:14,292 --> 00:11:16,708
craft stone tools
220
00:11:16,875 --> 00:11:19,250
and even preserve food.
221
00:11:20,417 --> 00:11:22,917
But why did early humans
with such advanced abilities
222
00:11:23,042 --> 00:11:26,125
choose to inhabit
this particular cave,
223
00:11:26,208 --> 00:11:30,333
and live there
for more than 200,000 years?
224
00:11:30,417 --> 00:11:33,958
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer may lie
225
00:11:34,042 --> 00:11:35,917
in the fact that the Qesem cave
226
00:11:36,042 --> 00:11:38,708
sits in the shadow
of Mount Gerizim,
227
00:11:38,833 --> 00:11:40,833
where mysterious
aerial phenomena
228
00:11:40,958 --> 00:11:43,958
have been reported
for thousands of years.
229
00:11:45,708 --> 00:11:47,750
NEWMAN:
Mount Gerizim in Israel
230
00:11:47,875 --> 00:11:50,958
was considered the original
dwelling place of God
231
00:11:51,042 --> 00:11:53,292
in the old Hebrew Bible.
232
00:11:54,958 --> 00:11:58,333
And God's presence would take
the form of a Shekinah,
233
00:11:58,500 --> 00:11:59,917
or some kind of bright light
234
00:12:00,042 --> 00:12:02,417
that would emanate
from this mountain.
235
00:12:03,583 --> 00:12:06,292
The earliest biblical patriarchs
236
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:08,000
came to this mountain,
237
00:12:08,083 --> 00:12:11,958
and had visions
of the blinding lights,
238
00:12:12,083 --> 00:12:15,167
what we'd call
UFOs or UAPs today.
239
00:12:17,125 --> 00:12:18,750
Mount Gerizim
has been a hot spot
240
00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:20,208
where mysterious lights appear
241
00:12:20,333 --> 00:12:22,750
both in modern times
and historically.
242
00:12:23,875 --> 00:12:26,000
For example,
in the 1720s an English cleric
243
00:12:26,083 --> 00:12:27,667
by the name of Thomas Shore
244
00:12:27,792 --> 00:12:29,833
was exploring the vicinity
of Mount Gerizim,
245
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:32,042
and he and his team saw this
246
00:12:32,208 --> 00:12:35,125
incredible light phenomena
around the mountain.
247
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:37,875
COLLINS:
He referred to it
as "ignis fatuus,"
248
00:12:38,042 --> 00:12:40,375
which means, "The foolish fire."
249
00:12:40,542 --> 00:12:43,125
And he observed this for hours,
250
00:12:43,208 --> 00:12:47,250
changing different forms,
coming forward, going backwards.
251
00:12:47,375 --> 00:12:49,333
NARRATOR:
Thomas Shore's encounter
at Mount Gerizim
252
00:12:49,458 --> 00:12:50,958
is just one of many
253
00:12:51,042 --> 00:12:53,083
that have been reported
over the centuries,
254
00:12:53,208 --> 00:12:56,542
including sightings
in modern times.
255
00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,542
COLLINS:
An English journalist
256
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:00,208
by the name of Wilkins
257
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:03,958
wrote a book entitled
Flying Saucers Uncensored.
258
00:13:04,042 --> 00:13:07,208
And this talks
about a group of Bedouin
259
00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:11,375
in the vicinity of
Mount Gerizim in the 1950s,
260
00:13:11,542 --> 00:13:13,750
encountering this strange object
261
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:16,583
which was interpreted
262
00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:19,583
in terms of a flying saucer.
263
00:13:20,875 --> 00:13:24,208
Wanting to confirm
that UFOs are still seen
264
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:27,000
in the area
of Mount Gerizim today,
265
00:13:27,083 --> 00:13:29,083
I climbed the mountain,
266
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:33,333
and I was able to speak with one
of the highest-ranking priests
267
00:13:33,417 --> 00:13:37,500
of the Samaritan community
who lived there to this day.
268
00:13:37,667 --> 00:13:40,458
And he was able to confirm that,
269
00:13:40,583 --> 00:13:45,042
indeed, strange, mysterious
lights are seen there.
270
00:13:46,875 --> 00:13:48,500
NARRATOR:
Considering the long history
271
00:13:48,625 --> 00:13:51,875
of strange lights being
reported over Mount Gerizim,
272
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,708
is it possible
that extraterrestrials
273
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:56,708
have been visiting
the same locations
274
00:13:56,875 --> 00:13:58,542
for thousands of years?
275
00:13:59,917 --> 00:14:02,292
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
276
00:14:02,375 --> 00:14:06,875
and suggest that UFO hot spots
can even help explain
277
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
several mysteries
of the ancient past,
278
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:12,167
including why certain sites
279
00:14:12,250 --> 00:14:16,125
are designated as places
of spiritual worship,
280
00:14:16,208 --> 00:14:19,375
and why some of
the most enigmatic temples
281
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,708
and monuments in the world
were created.
282
00:14:22,833 --> 00:14:25,167
RICKSECKER:
In ancient times, strange lights
283
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:28,000
were seen repeatedly
in the same locations,
284
00:14:28,083 --> 00:14:31,667
and in a number of cases,
these areas were marked
285
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:35,250
by some sort of
monuments to memorialize
286
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:38,583
these beings and these gods
visiting the people.
287
00:14:39,542 --> 00:14:41,917
TSOUKALOS:
The reason why Delphi, Greece,
288
00:14:42,042 --> 00:14:43,833
became a place of worship
289
00:14:43,958 --> 00:14:47,125
is because local legends say
290
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:50,500
that someone descended
from the sky there
291
00:14:50,667 --> 00:14:53,333
and imparted knowledge.
292
00:14:53,458 --> 00:14:55,000
Now, in my opinion,
293
00:14:55,167 --> 00:14:58,833
you would not build
something of that scale
294
00:14:58,958 --> 00:15:01,458
if it really didn't happen.
295
00:15:01,542 --> 00:15:03,750
And in the area of Delphi,
296
00:15:03,875 --> 00:15:06,375
to this day,
you see aerial phenomena
297
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,167
that are very strange.
298
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:10,833
NARRATOR:
Much like Delphi,
299
00:15:10,958 --> 00:15:13,125
the ancient site
of Stonehenge is a place
300
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:16,917
where UFOs are frequently
reported today.
301
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:20,000
A photo of a disk-shaped object
302
00:15:20,125 --> 00:15:22,167
hovering over
the megalithic structure
303
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:25,833
was even included in a British
Ministry of Defence file
304
00:15:25,917 --> 00:15:29,542
that was declassified in 2009.
305
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,667
Stonehenge is a great example
306
00:15:31,792 --> 00:15:34,458
of a UFO hot spot in England.
307
00:15:34,542 --> 00:15:36,292
Over the lifetime
308
00:15:36,375 --> 00:15:38,958
of the Ministry
of Defence's UFO project,
309
00:15:39,083 --> 00:15:42,000
there have probably been
several hundred,
310
00:15:42,167 --> 00:15:44,500
if not low thousands,
of sightings
311
00:15:44,583 --> 00:15:47,167
recorded around Stonehenge
312
00:15:47,292 --> 00:15:49,625
in the county of Wiltshire.
313
00:15:51,417 --> 00:15:53,333
NARRATOR: Ancient
Native American sites
314
00:15:53,417 --> 00:15:56,000
where petroglyphs
depict strange beings
315
00:15:56,125 --> 00:15:58,375
often identified
as "star ancestors,"
316
00:15:58,542 --> 00:16:03,000
have also become UFO
hot spots in modern times.
317
00:16:03,125 --> 00:16:06,000
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Rock art at these ancient sites
318
00:16:06,167 --> 00:16:10,583
depicts a multitude
of strange beings,
319
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:13,375
large eyes, elongated heads,
320
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:18,000
often looking like some kind
of extraterrestrial creation.
321
00:16:19,333 --> 00:16:22,833
And it would seem
that these ancient sites
322
00:16:22,958 --> 00:16:28,167
have been having UFO activity
for thousands of years.
323
00:16:28,333 --> 00:16:33,667
And this UFO activity
is continuing even today.
324
00:16:37,792 --> 00:16:42,208
COLLINS:
One very good example
is Lake Titicaca,
325
00:16:42,375 --> 00:16:44,917
on the borders between
Peru and Bolivia.
326
00:16:45,042 --> 00:16:48,167
There's an island there
327
00:16:48,292 --> 00:16:50,833
by the name of
the Island of the Sun,
328
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,583
and this is well-known
for strange lights
329
00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:55,250
rising up out of it.
330
00:16:56,875 --> 00:16:58,625
They've been seen,
uh, by locals,
331
00:16:58,750 --> 00:17:00,792
they've been seen by visitors.
332
00:17:00,875 --> 00:17:03,625
The Island of the Sun
is also seen
333
00:17:03,708 --> 00:17:05,667
as the point of creation
334
00:17:05,833 --> 00:17:10,375
by the local Aymara and Quechua
peoples of the region,
335
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:14,292
and what they say
is that the sun
336
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:17,458
rose up out of that
island, into the air.
337
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,833
BIRNES:
There are ancient hot spots
that are modern hot spots,
338
00:17:21,917 --> 00:17:24,000
and when you draw a map
339
00:17:24,125 --> 00:17:27,333
of all the hot spots
around the world,
340
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:29,792
what you find
is that the ancients
341
00:17:29,917 --> 00:17:32,167
and the moderns are the same.
342
00:17:32,292 --> 00:17:35,083
It never went away.
343
00:17:36,167 --> 00:17:39,000
POPE:
Is there something
about these sites
344
00:17:39,167 --> 00:17:41,875
that attracts UFOs?
345
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,417
It's maybe why
the ancients built them
346
00:17:44,542 --> 00:17:47,083
in those locations
in the first place.
347
00:17:49,042 --> 00:17:52,083
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
mysterious ancient sites
348
00:17:52,208 --> 00:17:53,500
such as Mount Gerizim,
349
00:17:53,667 --> 00:17:55,583
Stonehenge,
350
00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:57,000
Chaco Canyon,
351
00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:58,500
and many others
352
00:17:58,625 --> 00:18:02,125
offer evidence
that extraterrestrials
353
00:18:02,208 --> 00:18:04,958
may have been visiting Earth
for thousands of years
354
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:07,042
at very specific locations?
355
00:18:07,167 --> 00:18:09,500
If so, why?
356
00:18:10,542 --> 00:18:12,667
Ancient astronaut
theorists believe
357
00:18:12,833 --> 00:18:14,083
that the answer may be found
358
00:18:14,208 --> 00:18:16,917
by looking not toward the sky,
359
00:18:17,042 --> 00:18:20,208
but deep underground.
360
00:18:28,583 --> 00:18:30,000
NARRATOR:
Kent Cliffs, New York,
361
00:18:30,125 --> 00:18:33,417
New Year's Eve, 1982.
362
00:18:34,542 --> 00:18:37,208
Shortly before midnight
in this small town
363
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:39,125
just north of New York City,
364
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:41,250
New Year's Eve revelers
365
00:18:41,375 --> 00:18:42,750
are struck by the sight
366
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:44,458
of an unusual aircraft
367
00:18:44,542 --> 00:18:46,417
in the sky.
368
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:50,042
The ship appears to be
as large as a commercial jet,
369
00:18:50,167 --> 00:18:51,875
but has a V-shape,
370
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,833
moves slowly,
and makes no sound.
371
00:18:54,917 --> 00:18:59,167
The incident is the first
in a wave of UFO sightings
372
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:01,375
that would shake
the surrounding area,
373
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:03,917
known as the Hudson Valley.
374
00:19:05,083 --> 00:19:09,250
The Hudson Valley
is your classic hot spot.
375
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:14,167
Here, UFOs appeared
from 1983 to 1986,
376
00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:17,375
and was witnessed
by thousands of people.
377
00:19:19,208 --> 00:19:21,958
A triangular,
boomerang-shape object,
378
00:19:22,083 --> 00:19:25,125
very well-lit, flew very low
379
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:26,542
over the community,
380
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:31,208
and it was
photographed, videotaped,
381
00:19:31,333 --> 00:19:34,292
and it was seen from people
from all walks of life
382
00:19:34,375 --> 00:19:37,167
who were sure
they saw something strange
383
00:19:37,292 --> 00:19:39,750
that was not from this planet.
384
00:19:41,042 --> 00:19:44,333
This caused people to
pull off the side of the road
385
00:19:44,458 --> 00:19:46,417
and actually start calling home,
386
00:19:46,542 --> 00:19:49,042
thinking there was
some type of an invasion.
387
00:19:49,167 --> 00:19:52,000
And they were executive doctors,
388
00:19:52,125 --> 00:19:55,208
scientists and so on,
meteorologists,
389
00:19:55,375 --> 00:19:56,875
and they all reported something
390
00:19:57,042 --> 00:19:58,333
that they have
never seen before.
391
00:19:58,417 --> 00:20:01,042
NARRATOR:
Over the span of three years,
392
00:20:01,208 --> 00:20:03,833
officials received
more than 9,000 reports
393
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,250
from eyewitnesses describing
the same, V-shaped craft.
394
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:12,125
Not only was there a UFO
sighting in Hudson Valley,
395
00:20:12,208 --> 00:20:16,458
but it came back night
after night after night.
396
00:20:17,792 --> 00:20:21,250
IMBROGNO: These are people who
would not normally come forward
397
00:20:21,375 --> 00:20:23,792
to say that they saw a UFO.
398
00:20:34,625 --> 00:20:36,333
IMBROGNO:
Yet, what they saw
399
00:20:36,417 --> 00:20:39,167
was so convincing
and so frightening to them,
400
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:43,750
that they went on record
to report what they saw.
401
00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:45,542
I mean, it's just amazing.
402
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:48,583
NARRATOR:
During the two-year wave
403
00:20:48,708 --> 00:20:50,667
of UFO sightings
in the Hudson Valley,
404
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:54,375
author Philip Imbrogno
investigated the area
405
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,208
on behalf of
the Center for UFO Studies,
406
00:20:57,375 --> 00:20:59,708
which was founded
by J. Allen Hynek
407
00:20:59,833 --> 00:21:02,292
after his work
with Project Blue Book.
408
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,833
Imbrogno conducted
hundreds of interviews
409
00:21:05,958 --> 00:21:07,667
with residents of the area,
410
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:10,542
and even witnessed
the V-shaped craft himself.
411
00:21:11,917 --> 00:21:13,333
IMBROGNO:
This object,
412
00:21:13,458 --> 00:21:16,458
whatever it was,
the size of a football field,
413
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:19,417
came over the highways
and hovered,
414
00:21:19,542 --> 00:21:24,167
and, at times, projected down
a brilliant beam of white light.
415
00:21:24,292 --> 00:21:26,250
Usually, UFO researchers
416
00:21:26,375 --> 00:21:28,375
don't see the UFO that
they're investigating.
417
00:21:28,542 --> 00:21:30,833
I saw this object three times.
418
00:21:32,125 --> 00:21:34,333
So, it was amazing.
419
00:21:35,833 --> 00:21:39,042
NARRATOR: As Imbrogno spent
months crisscrossing the area,
420
00:21:39,167 --> 00:21:41,500
he noticed something curious:
421
00:21:41,583 --> 00:21:44,458
The volume of mysterious
reports during this time
422
00:21:44,542 --> 00:21:47,833
were not only focused on
a strange craft in the sky,
423
00:21:47,958 --> 00:21:50,417
but also on bizarre sounds
424
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:53,750
coming from somewhere
deep below ground.
425
00:21:56,667 --> 00:21:59,667
HENRY:
People start to wonder
why are these hot spots
426
00:21:59,833 --> 00:22:01,333
hot spots?
427
00:22:01,417 --> 00:22:03,292
And one explanation is that
428
00:22:03,375 --> 00:22:06,000
what is actually going on
is underneath the ground.
429
00:22:06,083 --> 00:22:09,000
That these hot spots
are in fact entrances
430
00:22:09,083 --> 00:22:12,792
to vast underground caverns,
or even secret bases.
431
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:17,167
CAMPOBASSO:
In the Hudson River there,
especially in the '80s,
432
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:18,833
I spoke to a few researchers,
433
00:22:18,958 --> 00:22:21,500
and they said that
the locals used to hear things
434
00:22:21,583 --> 00:22:23,833
coming up from underground,
435
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,750
and they weren't really
quite sure what it was,
436
00:22:26,875 --> 00:22:28,917
but they figured there
was a base below ground.
437
00:22:29,042 --> 00:22:33,125
A military/alien base.
438
00:22:35,542 --> 00:22:37,208
NARRATOR:
Arguably, the most
famous sighting
439
00:22:37,375 --> 00:22:39,125
in the Hudson Valley hot spot
440
00:22:39,250 --> 00:22:41,250
concerned beings
from underground,
441
00:22:41,375 --> 00:22:42,917
as was the case
442
00:22:43,042 --> 00:22:46,167
with best-selling horror
novelist Whitley Strieber,
443
00:22:46,292 --> 00:22:48,125
who wrote about
his own experience
444
00:22:48,250 --> 00:22:50,583
in his book, Communion.
445
00:22:51,833 --> 00:22:54,167
WHITLEY STRIEBER:
My wife and I had
bought a cabin
446
00:22:54,292 --> 00:22:57,833
in the western extreme edge
of the whole Hudson Valley.
447
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,375
And in December of 1985,
448
00:23:01,542 --> 00:23:05,458
I woke up in a room,
not my bedroom,
449
00:23:05,583 --> 00:23:07,042
in the middle of the night,
450
00:23:07,208 --> 00:23:10,667
and the room was filled
with two kinds of figures.
451
00:23:10,792 --> 00:23:13,667
These willowy figures
with big black eyes,
452
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:16,917
and dark blue short figures.
453
00:23:18,208 --> 00:23:20,333
Then I began
to hear a voice say,
454
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:22,750
"What can we do to
help you stop screaming?"
455
00:23:22,875 --> 00:23:25,167
And I thought, "I'm screaming?"
And I was screaming.
456
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:32,125
And the next morning, I woke up
457
00:23:32,208 --> 00:23:34,500
extremely confused
and disturbed,
458
00:23:34,667 --> 00:23:37,667
without any real understanding
of what happened to me.
459
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:40,500
NARRATOR:
While many presume
that Streiber's
460
00:23:40,625 --> 00:23:43,583
alien abductors
descended from the skies,
461
00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:47,917
in fact, he described
them as coming up from below,
462
00:23:48,042 --> 00:23:50,667
and their presence
was marked by sounds
463
00:23:50,833 --> 00:23:52,708
deep beneath his mountain cabin.
464
00:23:54,750 --> 00:23:56,792
STRIEBER:
In the cabin,
465
00:23:56,875 --> 00:23:59,875
we used to hear
drilling underground.
466
00:24:02,250 --> 00:24:04,542
And we could hear this
taking place under the cabin.
467
00:24:04,708 --> 00:24:07,250
In fact, it was so loud one day,
468
00:24:07,375 --> 00:24:09,333
I was sitting with
one of my neighbors
469
00:24:09,458 --> 00:24:11,875
and this sound kept coming up,
470
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,042
and you could kind of
feel it in your teeth.
471
00:24:14,167 --> 00:24:15,417
It was not pleasant.
472
00:24:15,542 --> 00:24:19,000
(low buzzing)
473
00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:23,667
NARRATOR:
The idea that hot spots mark
entrances to the underworld
474
00:24:23,833 --> 00:24:27,292
is a phenomenon
seen across the planet.
475
00:24:27,375 --> 00:24:28,250
CHILDRESS: This can be
what's happening
476
00:24:28,375 --> 00:24:30,000
in, say, Lake Titicaca.
477
00:24:30,125 --> 00:24:32,333
And then you have
other places like, say,
478
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:34,250
Mount Shasta,
479
00:24:34,375 --> 00:24:36,708
or certain volcanoes
in Mexico,
480
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:40,042
where UFOs are seen,
and there's a lot of activity.
481
00:24:42,042 --> 00:24:43,583
POPE:
Where do people allege
482
00:24:43,708 --> 00:24:46,417
that there are
underground bases?
483
00:24:46,542 --> 00:24:47,958
Well, in New Mexico, of course.
484
00:24:48,042 --> 00:24:50,583
And what do you have
in New Mexico? Roswell.
485
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,292
And it's alleged that there is
486
00:24:54,375 --> 00:24:56,833
a secret underground base
487
00:24:56,958 --> 00:24:59,542
off the coast of San Diego.
488
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:01,958
And, of course, that's the focus
489
00:25:02,042 --> 00:25:04,625
of a lot of the modern
UFO activity
490
00:25:04,708 --> 00:25:06,208
involving the U.S. Navy.
491
00:25:08,042 --> 00:25:11,167
NARRATOR:
Could the strange sounds
reportedly emanating
492
00:25:11,292 --> 00:25:12,833
from beneath the Hudson Valley,
493
00:25:12,917 --> 00:25:16,250
and many other hot spots,
be evidence
494
00:25:16,375 --> 00:25:20,000
of hidden underground
structures, as some speculate?
495
00:25:20,125 --> 00:25:22,750
Or might there be
another explanation
496
00:25:22,875 --> 00:25:26,500
for these areas
of high UFO activity?
497
00:25:26,625 --> 00:25:29,375
Perhaps further clues
can be found
498
00:25:29,542 --> 00:25:31,333
by examining the power
499
00:25:31,458 --> 00:25:33,875
of Earth's magnetic field.
500
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:46,708
NARRATOR:
In this small town
outside of Paris,
501
00:25:46,833 --> 00:25:49,667
numerous eyewitnesses
report several mysterious
502
00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:52,083
oval-shaped craft
above the Seine River,
503
00:25:52,208 --> 00:25:54,000
traveling at great speeds
504
00:25:54,125 --> 00:25:57,250
before suddenly vanishing
into thin air.
505
00:25:58,625 --> 00:26:02,500
It is the first of
more than 300 UFO incidents
506
00:26:02,667 --> 00:26:05,000
that would take place
in France during the year.
507
00:26:05,958 --> 00:26:09,125
Journalist Aimé Michel
begins studying
508
00:26:09,208 --> 00:26:11,792
the reported flight paths
of many of these accounts,
509
00:26:11,875 --> 00:26:15,000
and makes
an astonishing observation.
510
00:26:16,250 --> 00:26:18,667
NEWMAN:
All these UFO sightings
appeared to move
511
00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:21,708
in dead straight lines,
often crisscrossing.
512
00:26:21,833 --> 00:26:23,667
And as he kept getting
reports coming in,
513
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:25,167
and he kept plotting them,
514
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:27,792
he kept finding
the same system happening,
515
00:26:27,875 --> 00:26:30,875
the same lines, the same
movements of these UFOs.
516
00:26:32,125 --> 00:26:35,167
NARRATOR:
In 1958, Michel
published his research
517
00:26:35,333 --> 00:26:39,667
in a book called Flying Saucers
and the Straight-Line Mystery.
518
00:26:40,792 --> 00:26:44,500
In the book, he introduced
a principle he called orthoteny,
519
00:26:44,625 --> 00:26:46,917
which held that clusters
of UFO activity
520
00:26:47,042 --> 00:26:49,250
over a short period of time
521
00:26:49,375 --> 00:26:53,125
usually occur along straight
lines that often intersect.
522
00:26:54,208 --> 00:26:55,583
COLLINS:
What Aimé Michel
523
00:26:55,708 --> 00:26:57,458
started to realize was
524
00:26:57,542 --> 00:26:58,958
that there seemed
to be a pattern
525
00:26:59,042 --> 00:27:03,208
in where these objects
were appearing,
526
00:27:03,333 --> 00:27:05,292
and also their flight paths.
527
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:09,792
He saw that they actually
use specific lanes,
528
00:27:09,917 --> 00:27:12,500
which he felt were connected
529
00:27:12,625 --> 00:27:15,375
with the magnetic forces
of the Earth.
530
00:27:17,167 --> 00:27:21,500
HENRY:
He's noticing that these UFOs
are traveling in straight lines,
531
00:27:21,625 --> 00:27:23,875
using latitudes,
and that, in fact,
532
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:27,458
this can be extrapolated
into an entire grid
533
00:27:27,583 --> 00:27:30,000
that encapsulates
the entire planet.
534
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:33,458
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Aimé Michel
535
00:27:33,542 --> 00:27:35,833
successfully identified
a grid pattern
536
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,208
across the Earth
of highly magnetized regions
537
00:27:39,333 --> 00:27:42,875
that have come to be
known as UFO hot spots?
538
00:27:44,083 --> 00:27:46,917
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe that further clues
539
00:27:47,042 --> 00:27:51,292
can be found by examining an
area that has become notorious
540
00:27:51,375 --> 00:27:54,458
for mysterious phenomena
and strange disappearances...
541
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:57,667
The Bermuda Triangle.
542
00:27:57,833 --> 00:27:59,292
TSOUKALOS:
With the Bermuda Triangle,
543
00:27:59,417 --> 00:28:02,042
it is an irrefutable fact
544
00:28:02,167 --> 00:28:06,875
that planes and ships
of various sizes
545
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,208
have disappeared
without a trace.
546
00:28:11,208 --> 00:28:13,917
You also have
UFO and UAP stories.
547
00:28:15,833 --> 00:28:18,833
NARRATOR:
In the last century,
roughly 50 ships
548
00:28:18,917 --> 00:28:21,833
and 20 airplanes have vanished
without a trace
549
00:28:21,958 --> 00:28:25,542
within this infamous
500,000-square-mile stretch
550
00:28:25,667 --> 00:28:27,500
of the Atlantic Ocean.
551
00:28:27,625 --> 00:28:29,917
According to Scottish biologist
552
00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:33,083
and paranormal researcher
Ivan T. Sanderson,
553
00:28:33,208 --> 00:28:36,833
the Bermuda Triangle
is just one of a strange
554
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,250
and disturbing kind
of UFO hot spot
555
00:28:39,375 --> 00:28:43,875
that he described as
the world's 12 "vile vortices."
556
00:28:45,208 --> 00:28:48,250
He was able to identify,
he believed,
557
00:28:48,375 --> 00:28:51,167
certain spots like
the Bermuda Triangle,
558
00:28:51,333 --> 00:28:52,500
the Dragon's Triangle,
559
00:28:52,583 --> 00:28:55,458
places like the Great Pyramid,
560
00:28:55,583 --> 00:28:58,333
and other huge monument areas,
561
00:28:58,417 --> 00:29:00,750
and there was activity
going on at these places,
562
00:29:00,875 --> 00:29:03,375
disappearing ships
and airplanes,
563
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:05,333
UFO activity,
564
00:29:05,458 --> 00:29:08,792
lights and unusual phenomenon
565
00:29:08,875 --> 00:29:10,958
that were occurring constantly.
566
00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:15,375
NARRATOR:
In his 1972 article entitled
567
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:18,417
"The 12 Devil's
Graveyards Around The World,"
568
00:29:18,542 --> 00:29:22,333
Sanderson mapped these
sites at equidistant points
569
00:29:22,458 --> 00:29:24,042
above and below the equator,
570
00:29:24,167 --> 00:29:26,292
and discovered
they formed a mysterious
571
00:29:26,417 --> 00:29:30,500
geometrical pattern
on the Earth's surface.
572
00:29:30,667 --> 00:29:33,042
RICKSECKER:
There are 12 of these
across the globe.
573
00:29:33,167 --> 00:29:36,042
Now, five of them are
within the Tropic of Cancer,
574
00:29:36,167 --> 00:29:38,417
five of them within
the Tropic of Capricorn,
575
00:29:38,542 --> 00:29:41,083
the other two, the North Pole
and the South Pole.
576
00:29:41,208 --> 00:29:43,917
What's interesting is
if you connect all of these
577
00:29:44,042 --> 00:29:45,792
through the sphere of our globe,
578
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:49,875
they make an icosagon,
or a 20-sided polygon.
579
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,167
So, this is showing us
how all of these
580
00:29:52,292 --> 00:29:55,333
type of hot spots are
connected to each other.
581
00:29:55,458 --> 00:29:58,292
NARRATOR:
The hot spot sites
Sanderson identified
582
00:29:58,417 --> 00:30:02,208
share more than just
a unique history and geometry.
583
00:30:03,417 --> 00:30:07,042
Many of these so-called
vile vortices have strong
584
00:30:07,167 --> 00:30:09,958
magnetic anomalies caused
by variations or disturbances
585
00:30:10,083 --> 00:30:13,542
in the Earth's magnetic field.
586
00:30:13,667 --> 00:30:15,833
If you take a look at the Earth,
587
00:30:15,958 --> 00:30:18,333
the Earth has a magnetic
field like a bar magnet.
588
00:30:18,458 --> 00:30:21,375
The field of the magnetism
589
00:30:21,542 --> 00:30:24,708
comes out from the North Pole
and goes into the South Pole.
590
00:30:24,833 --> 00:30:27,375
It comes from the fact
that inside the Earth,
591
00:30:27,542 --> 00:30:29,417
there is churning electricity.
592
00:30:29,542 --> 00:30:33,167
And we now know that
there are anomalies there.
593
00:30:33,292 --> 00:30:35,833
It's as if our entire Earth
594
00:30:35,958 --> 00:30:38,333
is one gigantic battery.
595
00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:40,000
And if one were to argue
596
00:30:40,125 --> 00:30:42,750
that the entire
planet is a battery,
597
00:30:42,875 --> 00:30:44,708
well, what's it used for?
598
00:30:44,833 --> 00:30:47,500
I think our planet could serve
599
00:30:47,625 --> 00:30:51,000
to power whatever exotic device
600
00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:56,000
extraterrestrials use
to get here and leave.
601
00:30:57,208 --> 00:31:00,000
NARRATOR:
Incredibly, powerful
magnetic anomalies
602
00:31:00,125 --> 00:31:03,000
are found at many UFO hot spots,
603
00:31:03,167 --> 00:31:05,500
including the San Diego Bay,
604
00:31:05,625 --> 00:31:07,500
the Bermuda Triangle,
605
00:31:07,625 --> 00:31:09,250
and the Hudson Valley.
606
00:31:09,375 --> 00:31:13,375
Perhaps a lot of this has
to do with interstellar travel.
607
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:15,667
Maybe these hot spots
608
00:31:15,792 --> 00:31:17,917
are where they get that energy.
609
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:20,833
Maybe the UFOs can literally
610
00:31:20,917 --> 00:31:23,500
suck up the power,
611
00:31:23,583 --> 00:31:27,583
the power that the ancients,
for example, could sense
612
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:29,958
when they built these
monuments in the first place.
613
00:31:30,083 --> 00:31:32,417
NARRATOR:
Are all UFO hot spots
614
00:31:32,542 --> 00:31:35,792
part of a natural
worldwide power grid?
615
00:31:35,875 --> 00:31:38,667
Could learning how
to access the energy
616
00:31:38,792 --> 00:31:41,458
at these sites
one day equip mankind
617
00:31:41,542 --> 00:31:45,458
with advanced extraterrestrial
technology and capabilities?
618
00:31:46,417 --> 00:31:49,833
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
619
00:31:49,917 --> 00:31:52,125
and believe
that extraterrestrials
620
00:31:52,250 --> 00:31:55,708
are already using this
electromagnetic energy,
621
00:31:55,833 --> 00:31:58,708
not to travel to UFO hot spots,
622
00:31:58,875 --> 00:32:02,000
but possibly through them.
623
00:32:09,833 --> 00:32:11,708
NARRATOR:
The Uintah Basin, Utah.
624
00:32:13,167 --> 00:32:16,833
Skinwalker Ranch is
a 512-acre property
625
00:32:16,958 --> 00:32:18,833
where, for more
than two centuries,
626
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,958
mysterious and terrifying
627
00:32:21,083 --> 00:32:22,958
phenomena have been reported,
628
00:32:23,042 --> 00:32:24,792
including UFOs,
629
00:32:24,875 --> 00:32:26,667
cattle mutilations
630
00:32:26,833 --> 00:32:29,458
and otherworldly creatures.
631
00:32:31,875 --> 00:32:33,917
Skinwalker Ranch
in northern Utah
632
00:32:34,042 --> 00:32:36,375
is an outstanding
example of a hot spot.
633
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,417
It's one that is
a crossover location
634
00:32:38,542 --> 00:32:42,333
because Native Americans
have said for centuries
635
00:32:42,458 --> 00:32:45,167
that this is a place where
supernatural activity occurs,
636
00:32:45,250 --> 00:32:47,292
and it's still occurring today,
and is now being
637
00:32:47,375 --> 00:32:49,458
very well-documented
and thoroughly studied.
638
00:32:51,708 --> 00:32:53,208
NARRATOR:
In 2019,
639
00:32:53,375 --> 00:32:56,000
astrophysicist Dr. Travis Taylor
640
00:32:56,083 --> 00:32:59,292
joined a team of
scientists and researchers
641
00:32:59,375 --> 00:33:03,167
to investigate the bizarre
phenomena on the property.
642
00:33:03,333 --> 00:33:05,167
-MAN: To the south.
-There it is!
643
00:33:05,292 --> 00:33:06,333
MAN 2:
It's moving real slow.
644
00:33:06,417 --> 00:33:08,417
MAN:
That thing is big and spherical.
645
00:33:08,542 --> 00:33:10,875
TRAVIS TAYLOR:
Yes, it is, and it's got
a black dot in the center of it.
646
00:33:11,042 --> 00:33:13,000
That ain't an airplane!
647
00:33:13,125 --> 00:33:15,667
Since I've been out there
at Skinwalker Ranch,
648
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:17,583
I've seen so many
different things
649
00:33:17,708 --> 00:33:21,708
that before, I would have not
really believed they existed.
650
00:33:21,875 --> 00:33:23,417
MAN:
Travis, you got to see this.
651
00:33:23,542 --> 00:33:25,667
Okay. Well, there's the lasers.
652
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:27,500
-Yeah, I'm doing instant
playback. You see this?
-Oh. Yeah.
653
00:33:29,292 --> 00:33:31,500
TAYLOR:
Wow. What the crap is that?
654
00:33:31,625 --> 00:33:34,000
And I can say that
I'd never seen a UFO
655
00:33:34,125 --> 00:33:35,500
before I went
to Skinwalker Ranch,
656
00:33:35,625 --> 00:33:38,125
and now I've seen so many,
I can't count them.
657
00:33:39,667 --> 00:33:41,208
BRANDON FUGAL:
Skinwalker Ranch is,
without question,
658
00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:43,042
the most scientifically studied
659
00:33:43,208 --> 00:33:46,667
hot spot on the planet.
660
00:33:46,833 --> 00:33:49,708
To be able to take a more
advanced scientific effort
661
00:33:49,833 --> 00:33:52,833
forward to better understand
662
00:33:52,958 --> 00:33:54,583
what is really happening there,
663
00:33:54,708 --> 00:33:56,042
I mean, it's...
664
00:33:56,208 --> 00:33:58,333
it's the greatest science
project of our time.
665
00:33:59,625 --> 00:34:03,667
NARRATOR:
Between 1996 and 2016,
666
00:34:03,833 --> 00:34:07,083
the federal government helped
fund investigations on the ranch
667
00:34:07,208 --> 00:34:09,833
that were led by
aerospace entrepreneur
668
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,333
Robert Bigelow
and his organization
669
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:15,667
known as the National Institute
for Discovery Science.
670
00:34:15,792 --> 00:34:19,333
THOMAS WINTERTON:
People ask me, hey,
what did Bigelow find?
671
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:22,583
And the interesting thing is,
is that we haven't received any,
672
00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:26,375
not a single bit of data,
673
00:34:26,542 --> 00:34:29,333
from the previous team,
so it must be classified.
674
00:34:29,458 --> 00:34:32,083
Bigelow never shared it with us.
675
00:34:33,542 --> 00:34:35,542
NARRATOR:
Although much of what
the Bigelow Team discovered
676
00:34:35,667 --> 00:34:37,792
has never been released
to the public,
677
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:39,833
it has been suggested
678
00:34:39,917 --> 00:34:41,500
that some of
the hot spot phenomena
679
00:34:41,625 --> 00:34:43,833
witnessed on the ranch
may be related
680
00:34:43,958 --> 00:34:46,167
to a portal through spacetime.
681
00:34:47,583 --> 00:34:50,500
TAYLOR:
Skinwalker Ranch appears
to be the epicenter
682
00:34:50,625 --> 00:34:53,417
of some really strange
energy measurements,
683
00:34:53,542 --> 00:34:55,500
strange electric
and magnetic field.
684
00:34:55,583 --> 00:34:57,667
There's been
a lot of speculation
685
00:34:57,833 --> 00:35:01,208
that Skinwalker Ranch
is the site of a portal
686
00:35:01,333 --> 00:35:04,125
or a wormhole where
alien civilizations,
687
00:35:04,208 --> 00:35:06,000
or maybe even
extra-dimensional creatures,
688
00:35:06,125 --> 00:35:07,667
are using as a transit station.
689
00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:08,875
They're moving in and out.
690
00:35:10,542 --> 00:35:12,917
NARRATOR:
Could wormholes really
be an explanation
691
00:35:13,042 --> 00:35:15,500
for why hot spots
like Skinwalker Ranch
692
00:35:15,667 --> 00:35:17,500
exist where they do?
693
00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:20,333
The idea of a wormhole--
694
00:35:20,458 --> 00:35:22,708
a shortcut through
time and space--
695
00:35:22,833 --> 00:35:25,458
was proposed in 1935
696
00:35:25,542 --> 00:35:29,167
by physicists Albert Einstein
and Nathan Rosen.
697
00:35:29,292 --> 00:35:32,000
Using the theory of relativity,
698
00:35:32,125 --> 00:35:34,083
they showed that these pathways
699
00:35:34,208 --> 00:35:36,208
could exist as
a tunnel structure,
700
00:35:36,375 --> 00:35:40,167
connecting two very distant
points through space and time...
701
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:44,125
...making travel to the most
remote parts of the universe
702
00:35:44,208 --> 00:35:46,417
a theoretical possibility.
703
00:35:48,167 --> 00:35:51,125
POPE:
Some believe
that extraterrestrials
704
00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:54,292
would use wormholes,
705
00:35:54,417 --> 00:35:58,875
and UFOs would then, apparently,
706
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,375
arrive out of
nowhere, seemingly,
707
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:03,042
and disappear into nowhere,
708
00:36:03,167 --> 00:36:05,167
which is very often what you get
709
00:36:05,292 --> 00:36:08,875
at locations
that are UFO hot spots
710
00:36:09,042 --> 00:36:10,667
like Skinwalker Ranch.
711
00:36:10,750 --> 00:36:13,958
What do you find? The idea
that there's a portal there.
712
00:36:15,042 --> 00:36:16,875
It's within the laws of physics
713
00:36:17,042 --> 00:36:20,500
to use the wormhole as a gateway
714
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:23,500
to another distant
part of the galaxy
715
00:36:23,625 --> 00:36:26,500
faster than the speed of light.
716
00:36:26,583 --> 00:36:28,167
We don't have
that kind of technology.
717
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:31,375
But perhaps
an advanced civilization
718
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:33,333
already mastered
this technology,
719
00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:37,125
and use it to
crisscross the galaxy.
720
00:36:37,208 --> 00:36:38,833
That cannot be ruled out.
721
00:36:40,167 --> 00:36:43,333
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
advanced intelligent beings
722
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:45,250
exist in other parts
of the universe
723
00:36:45,375 --> 00:36:48,208
who have the technology
to create portals
724
00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:51,125
through time and space?
725
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:54,667
And if so, could
UFO hot spots be gateways
726
00:36:54,792 --> 00:36:57,000
where they are able
to reach Earth?
727
00:36:58,292 --> 00:37:01,917
It might explain why,
on our Earth,
728
00:37:02,042 --> 00:37:04,000
that places where UFOs
729
00:37:04,125 --> 00:37:07,250
of any shape, size, color,
730
00:37:07,375 --> 00:37:10,042
are seen on a repeated basis,
731
00:37:10,167 --> 00:37:12,000
it's exactly the same thing.
732
00:37:12,167 --> 00:37:14,667
They're coming in and out of
733
00:37:14,792 --> 00:37:17,958
electromagnetically
created portals,
734
00:37:18,083 --> 00:37:20,250
and that's why there seems to be
735
00:37:20,375 --> 00:37:24,167
a pattern of coming
and going on this planet.
736
00:37:24,292 --> 00:37:27,375
They are with us on our planet.
737
00:37:28,875 --> 00:37:31,167
NARRATOR:
Could it be that
extraterrestrials
738
00:37:31,292 --> 00:37:35,500
are actually traveling to Earth
through wormholes or portals?
739
00:37:35,625 --> 00:37:39,542
If so, where
are they coming from?
740
00:37:39,708 --> 00:37:42,667
There are those who believe
that it may not be
741
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:45,333
from distant points
in the cosmos,
742
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,833
but possibly
from other dimensions.
743
00:37:59,542 --> 00:38:02,458
NARRATOR:
Famed author and
Ufologist John Keel
744
00:38:02,583 --> 00:38:04,375
publishes his second book:
745
00:38:04,542 --> 00:38:07,958
UFOs Operation Trojan Horse.
746
00:38:09,083 --> 00:38:11,458
In the book, Keel asserts
747
00:38:11,542 --> 00:38:13,958
that Earth is being visited
by extraterrestrials,
748
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:16,375
not from distant planets,
749
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:19,208
but from parallel universes.
750
00:38:19,375 --> 00:38:21,833
He believed this could
be the real explanation
751
00:38:21,958 --> 00:38:23,708
for UFO hot spots.
752
00:38:24,958 --> 00:38:28,958
POPE:
John Keel believed
that these visitors
753
00:38:29,083 --> 00:38:31,000
were from other dimensions,
754
00:38:31,167 --> 00:38:33,375
but that in the past,
755
00:38:33,542 --> 00:38:35,917
they had been misperceived
756
00:38:36,042 --> 00:38:40,167
as gods, devils, angels, demons,
757
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:43,708
other sorts
of supernatural entities.
758
00:38:45,042 --> 00:38:49,333
But he said this is something
that has always been with us.
759
00:38:49,458 --> 00:38:51,167
It's just that
they don't come from
760
00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:53,042
where we think they come from.
761
00:38:53,167 --> 00:38:54,792
HENRY:
John Keel said
762
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:58,000
those beings are not
from other planets.
763
00:38:58,083 --> 00:38:59,792
They're from other dimensions.
764
00:38:59,917 --> 00:39:02,708
And this is called
the interdimensional hypothesis.
765
00:39:03,833 --> 00:39:06,333
And when they do
appear in our reality,
766
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:08,333
they can violate
our laws of physics.
767
00:39:08,458 --> 00:39:11,000
They can travel
faster than light.
768
00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:12,500
It's because they're coming from
769
00:39:12,625 --> 00:39:14,375
higher dimensional realms.
770
00:39:15,542 --> 00:39:17,833
NARRATOR: According to
the interdimensional hypothesis,
771
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:21,000
hot spots are simply
locations on Earth
772
00:39:21,125 --> 00:39:25,292
where the dimension we inhabit
crosses over into another.
773
00:39:25,417 --> 00:39:27,958
It may sound like
science fiction,
774
00:39:28,083 --> 00:39:31,292
but it actually fits neatly into
a branch of theoretical physics
775
00:39:31,375 --> 00:39:33,542
known as string theory.
776
00:39:33,708 --> 00:39:35,875
In string theory
we play with different
777
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,167
kinds of universes
in different dimensions.
778
00:39:39,375 --> 00:39:42,000
There are tunnels
that connect one universe
779
00:39:42,125 --> 00:39:43,667
with another universe.
780
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:46,292
And how many universes
are there in string theory?
781
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:48,667
Perhaps an infinite number.
782
00:39:50,792 --> 00:39:54,417
NARRATOR:
In the end, hot spots
remain an enduring mystery.
783
00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:59,000
Are UFO hot spots gateways
to other dimensions?
784
00:39:59,083 --> 00:40:02,167
Portals to other
places in the universe?
785
00:40:02,292 --> 00:40:05,583
The locations of
underground alien bases?
786
00:40:05,708 --> 00:40:09,833
Or is it possible
that all three are true?
787
00:40:11,792 --> 00:40:13,542
There's no, you know,
theory of everything
788
00:40:13,667 --> 00:40:15,708
when it comes to this
sort of phenomena.
789
00:40:15,833 --> 00:40:17,833
It seems like there are
a lot of different reasons
790
00:40:17,958 --> 00:40:21,417
as to why a UFO may be
attracted to something,
791
00:40:21,542 --> 00:40:23,500
why activity happens over here.
792
00:40:23,625 --> 00:40:26,542
There are a variety of different
reasons, and not just one.
793
00:40:27,792 --> 00:40:32,042
POPE:
I think these hot spots
are hugely significant
794
00:40:32,167 --> 00:40:35,375
for our understanding of UFOs.
795
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:39,625
There might be a dimensional
solution to this.
796
00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:42,208
There could be
multiple explanations,
797
00:40:42,333 --> 00:40:45,125
and these aren't
mutually exclusive.
798
00:40:45,208 --> 00:40:47,250
So it's perfectly
possible to have
799
00:40:47,375 --> 00:40:51,333
visiting extraterrestrials,
interdimensional intrusion
800
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:54,625
and time travelers
from the future.
801
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:58,375
HENRY:
We don't fully
understand hot spots.
802
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:00,333
However, there's never been
803
00:41:00,417 --> 00:41:02,375
a time in history
that I'm aware of
804
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,583
where so much
science and technology
805
00:41:04,708 --> 00:41:07,792
has been directed now
in trying to figure them out.
806
00:41:07,917 --> 00:41:09,667
And what will be
the benefit of that?
807
00:41:09,792 --> 00:41:11,917
Well, we will
come to a conclusion
808
00:41:12,042 --> 00:41:14,375
about who we are,
where we came from,
809
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,625
and ultimately
where we go from here.
810
00:41:18,833 --> 00:41:22,042
TSOUKALOS:
If one day the mainstream
accepts the idea
811
00:41:22,208 --> 00:41:23,542
that these UFO hot spots
812
00:41:23,708 --> 00:41:27,500
do have an
extraterrestrial connection,
813
00:41:27,625 --> 00:41:29,458
then that would be
814
00:41:29,583 --> 00:41:33,917
a profound conclusion
in the history of humanity.
815
00:41:35,042 --> 00:41:37,417
NARRATOR:
Could UFO hot spots hold the key
816
00:41:37,542 --> 00:41:39,417
to understanding
strange phenomena
817
00:41:39,542 --> 00:41:41,625
that has been
witnessed on our planet
818
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:43,417
for thousands of years?
819
00:41:43,542 --> 00:41:46,583
Might these locations
contain portals
820
00:41:46,708 --> 00:41:49,167
that lead not only
to other worlds,
821
00:41:49,292 --> 00:41:52,542
but also to other dimensions?
822
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:55,625
If so, perhaps one day
823
00:41:55,708 --> 00:41:57,000
we will be able to harness
824
00:41:57,125 --> 00:41:59,583
the power of these
hot spots ourselves,
825
00:41:59,708 --> 00:42:02,708
and discover
a reality far beyond
826
00:42:02,833 --> 00:42:06,458
what we ever believed
was possible.
