NARRATOR: A tropical paradise

believed to be a gateway to the stars.

A remote landmass

home to enormous stone statues.

And a mysterious man-made island

that defies explanation.

For more than a decade, Ancient Aliens has traveled

the globe to explore some of the most isolated

and enigmatic islands in the world.

Now, we're going to take a look back

at the top ten mysterious islands

we've investigated.

Islands that just may hold the proof

that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials.

♪

Some of the most mysterious places

on the planet happen to be remote islands.

And that is because many of them are home

to stories and legends that extraterrestrials

may have visited Earth in the distant past.

Like the first location on our list,

where the native people say that their ancestors

came from the stars.

Number ten on our countdown of the top ten

mysterious islands: the Big Island of Hawaii.

NARRATOR: Hawaii's Big Island.

This landmass is the largest island in the United States,

covering an area of 4,000 square miles.

To tourists, it is a paradise on Earth.

But to the people that have inhabited this island

for centuries, and who carry with them

the traditions of their ancestors,

Hawaii is something very different.

For many, like tribal leader Kimokeo Kapahulehua,

it is the place where so-called "star people"

came to Earth centuries ago and created humans.

NARRATOR: Each autumn, when the Pleiades star system appears

on the horizon, practitioners of the old native Hawaiian faith

gather to celebrate the harvest and honor Lono,

the god of rain and peace

who descended to the island in a canoe.

The Hawaiians believed that their people

originated in the Pleiades.

(vocalizing)

HENRY: During the festival, the kahunas would chant

the epic of creation, the Kumulipo chant,

in which they would tell the story of the descent of Lono

on a rainbow.

(singing in Native language)

HENRY: And it's thought that Lono descended

from the Pleiades, it also makes sense

that he could've returned to the Pleiades as well.

NARRATOR: Did extraterrestrials visit Hawaii in the distant past?

And if so, for what purpose?

GEORGE NOORY: I've always said that Earth is a planet of experimentation.

I keep thinking of the Island of Doctor Moreau,

where you're sequestered in a certain area,

and you can conduct your work in quiet and in privacy.

LINDA MOULTON HOWE: What if the planet itself

has been an experimental lab?

Extraterrestrials would use islands

for one experiment,

tops of mountains for another experiment.

But they would control what they were doing

by keeping their different experiments

separated from each other.

DAVID CHILDRESS : If I were an extraterrestrial

looking for the perfect laboratory,

I would look no further than the Hawaiian Islands.

Before the arrival of Europeans,

there were no reptiles, no mosquitoes, no rats.

It was as pure a place as any on our planet.

And in many ways, it was the perfect spot for a laboratory.

Hawaii isn't the only island where there are stories

of visitors who descended from the sky.

Off the coast of Great Britain is a tiny landmass

that the locals say was once populated by beings

who arrived in what they described as "cloud ships."

At number nine on our countdown

of mysterious islands: the Isle of Man.

NARRATOR: The Irish Sea.

Located just off the eastern shore

of Ireland lies the Isle of Man.

Home to approximately 80,000 people,

this small island nation

is roughly half the size of Los Angeles,

stretching 32 miles long and just 14 miles across.

But according to folklore, the Isle of Man

was once home to a god-like race of beings

called the Tuatha Dé Danann.

TOK THOMPSON: The Tuatha Dé Danann

are probably the most important tribe or figures

that show up in Irish mythology.

"Tuatha" means tribe.

"Dé" means gods or divine, so "divine tribes."

"Gods of the divine."

JENNY BUTLER: There is a description in the mythological material

in the early Irish literature

of the Tuatha Dé Danann arriving in, uh, cloud ships

and landing on a mountain.

NARRATOR: According to the ancient stories,

after the arrival of the Tuatha Dé Danann in Ireland,

the Isle of Man became ruled by a king named Manannán mac Lir

and served as a home to many of these visitors from the sky.

SABINA MAGLIOCCO: Manannán mac Lir was one of the Tuatha Dé Danann,

and he was a god for the Celtic peoples.

He also had many magical powers.

For example, he was known to be a sorcerer

and to be able to change his shape

into that of anything that he wished.

HENRY: The Tuatha Dé Danann had an arsenal

of very technological-sounding weaponry

and circles of light they used to travel around Ireland upon.

The ancient astronaut theory tries to look at ancient stories

in which magic happens

from a modern perspective and determine

if that so-called magic really was some type of technology.

Then one has to wonder, where did that technology come from?

Well, there's only one answer to this,

and that is extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Could the legends of the Tuatha Dé Danann be describing

otherworldly beings that once inhabited the Isle of Man?

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining UFO sightings

that have been reported on the island for centuries.

ANDREW COLLINS: There have been reports of UFOs on the Isle of Man

for a very long time.

The peoples there, uh, still believe in them today.

They still see them on a regular basis.

And the common type of report is that strange lights

move about for a period of time and then disappear.

CHILDRESS: So you have to think really that Isle of Man

was some kind of island that was chosen by the extraterrestrials.

They would land their UFOs there.

And, in fact, legends about UFOs

and extraterrestrials continue on the island even to this day.

If you travel just 450 miles west of the Isle of Man,

you will come upon the site of another mysterious island,

but this one can't be visited

because it reportedly vanished beneath the ocean.

Number eight on our list: Hy-Brasil.

NARRATOR: The North Atlantic Ocean.

200 miles off the western coast of Ireland

lie open waters as far as the eye can see.

But according to 14th century maps of the area,

this is the location of a so-called phantom island

known as Hy-Brasil.

MAGLIOCCO: Hy-Brasil allegedly appeared and disappeared behind the mists.

It could never definitively be found.

Although, the... its putative location

is marked on some of these early maps.

NARRATOR: Hy-Brasil was first recorded

by the Italian-Majorcan cartographer

Angelino de Dalorto in 1325,

who described the island as being "a strikingly round form."

Then in 1497, Italian explorer John Cabot

reported reaching Hy-Brasil.

Other explorers of the time returned from the island

with accounts of meeting beautiful, glowing people.

TIM SWARTZ: Like a lot of other mythologies, such as Atlantis,

Hy-Brasil was thought to be the source of, uh, civilization.

And these people originated from the stars.

They are the people that, uh, the human race descended from.

NARRATOR: Might Hy-Brasil have been a place

where otherworldly beings landed on planet Earth

and jump-started civilization?

And if so, what could explain

its mysterious disappearance and reappearance over the years?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe a clue can be found

within tales of vanishing islands from Greek mythology.

TSOUKALOS: In Ancient Greece, there are these stories of

a type of moveable island that the ancient Greeks

referred to as Asteria.

Asteria means "stars falling from the sky."

And in certain instances, these stars landed in the water,

and then they were able to move around under its own propulsion.

So, what if Hy-Brasil was nothing else

but a glorified extraterrestrial craft.

In the Mediterranean Sea,

there's an island rich with history and culture

that spans thousands of years.

But perhaps what's most intriguing

are the mysterious megalithic structures found there,

structures that are believed to have been built by giants.

Number seven on our countdown of the top ten

mysterious islands: Sardinia.

NARRATOR: Sardinia, Italy.

Located 116 miles west of the Italian peninsula,

this picturesque island in the Mediterranean

boasts rugged mountains,

arid grasslands, and white-sand beaches.

It is also home to many mysterious

ancient stone structures

built by the Nuragic civilization,

that was believed to have inhabited the island

nearly 4,000 years ago.

Sardinia is probably best known for its abundance

of structures called "nuraghe."

And these are conical towers, usually truncated at the top,

so that there's a flat base.

There are approximately 7,000 nuraghe that scholars

have uncovered on Sardinia,

though that number could be as high as 20,000 or more.

CHILDRESS: These nuraghe are made out of huge basalt boulders.

They're stacked up into towers and walls

and beehive chambers.

Archaeologists do not know how they were all built.

They assume that huge ramps

were built to move all of this material.

Throughout Sardinia, there are stories of-of giants,

and you have to wonder if whoever was building

these structures were giants.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that Sardinia

was once home to a population of giants?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and point to several stone statues

found on the island known as the "Giants of Mont'e Prama."

So, the Giants of Mont'e Prama are very tall stone giants that

were found on the, uh, western coast of Sardinia back in 1974.

Since then, there's been numerous excavations,

and over 40 of these stone giants

over eight feet tall have now been reconstructed

from pieces that were found there.

TSOUKALOS: For all intents and purposes,

the face looks like a replica

of C-3PO, the robot.

And the fact that archaeologists suggest

that these are the replicas of the local population,

and they even call them the Giants of Mont'e Prama,

you have to wonder is it possible that Sardinia,

at some point, was visited by extraterrestrials?

And I think the answer is yes.

The ancient statues of giants on Sardinia

are truly extraordinary.

But there is another island near Australia

that has stories of giant beings

that are said to actually be living there today.

Number six on our countdown of the top ten

mysterious islands: Guadalcanal.

NARRATOR: Almost 2,000 miles northeast of Australia

lie the Solomon Islands.

While this chain contains more than 900 islands,

the most well-known is Guadalcanal,

which served as a strategic military base

during World War II.

Today, a series of mysterious events

have convinced locals the island is home

to enormous otherworldly beings.

There are mysterious legends all over the Solomons, actually.

A lot of the stories from Guadalcanal

tend to talk about giants.

The relationship between people and giants.

Giants are often portrayed in different ways.

Sometimes, they are benevolent giants. They help people.

They look after people.

But there are stories about giants

killing people and taking over things.

There are legends and stories that go way back that suggest

that giants actually still live on the Solomon Islands.

Some say they're kind of hairy beast kind of beings.

Others say they're more humanoid.

And some say they even relate

and kind of mate with the human population.

People talk about it that giants actually do exist.

They existed in the past.

Today, with all kinds of developments taking place,

they shifted further into the mountains.

They really do exist.

It's not just a mythology to scare children.

NARRATOR: According to one report, in 1998,

workers in a gold-mining operation

witnessed what they believed might be evidence of some type

of giant humanoid when one of their bulldozers broke down.

The workers claimed they removed the ten-ton blade

from the machine to make overnight repairs,

but when they returned to the dig site the next morning,

they were shocked by what they found.

The blade itself had been moved quite a distance

and they found footprints of giants in the mud.

So they could only assume that these

famous giants of the Solomon Islands

had been there and moved the bulldozer blade.

NARRATOR: Is Guadalcanal really home to giants?

And if so, where did they come from?

Some researchers believe the answer can be found

in eyewitness accounts of mysterious objects in the sky.

CHILDRESS: The Australian author, Boirayon,

believed that incidents of the giants that he'd been told

about by the natives were related to UFO activity.

And from what he could put together,

there was some kind of UFO base deep in the mountains

of Central Guadalcanal, and it involved these giants.

The Solomon Islands has been a hotbed

of UFO activity for centuries.

There are numerous accounts of abductions.

People who disappear after coming into contact,

uh, with these UFOs.

Never to be seen again.

CHILDRESS: You have to wonder if these famous giants

of Guadalcanal were, in fact, extraterrestrials.

We're coming up on the halfway point

in our countdown of the top ten mysterious islands.

The South Pacific is home to some of the most remote

islands on Earth, and the history of this region

is filled with stories of otherworldly visitors.

Like the next entry on our list, number five: Nuku Hiva.

NARRATOR: The South Pacific.

3,000 miles west of Mexico

lies a rocky volcanic island known as Nuku Hiva.

Nuka Hiva is the largest of the Polynesian islands,

and it's in the northerly part of the group. It is the capital.

NARRATOR: According to local legend,

Nuku Hiva was built by the god of creation, Ono, for his wife.

Once it was complete,

their offspring populated the area.

In 2018, ancient astronaut theorists

Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Childress

traveled to Nuku Hiva and met with local guide,

Aniata Kimitete, to investigate the stories about the arrival

of the gods, as well as the statuary depicting them.

TSOUKALOS: Oh, wow. Okay.

Is this considered a tiki?

Yes, this tikis represent the population.

So w-what is a tiki?

A tiki, at first, was the representation

of our god of magic and sorcery.

He was one of the only god

in French Polynesia that has the face of a man.

NARRATOR: To the people of Nuku Hiva, the word "tiki" refers to both

an ancestral figure that came to the islands in ancient times,

as well as the statues that represent him.

They are variously carved in both wood and stone,

and often depict a being with large, goggle-like eyes.

The lore has it that Tiki was the primary ancestor

and was created in the image of the sky god.

The local people made statues in honor

of their creator god, Tiki, and used them in worship.

And this is what Tiki looks like, uh, as god?

Yes, because they-they say in the legend that,

when Tiki left the Earth, they made the sculpture

of how he looked like just to have something

to remember from Tiki.

There are multiple other versions of the exact

same motif worldwide with people with

elongated skulls and giant goggle eyes,

like, uh, what comes to mind immediately is in-in Peru.

-CHILDRESS: Yeah, at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku. -TSOUKALOS: Yes.

CHILDRESS: You have the same goggle-headed eye people.

You have it in Mexico, too, with the Olmec statues.

TSOUKALOS: Yes. These may be depictions

of actual extraterrestrials who visited

the Earth thousands of years ago.

I still get goose bumps thinking about my trip

to Nuku Hiva and seeing the carvings of the Tiki.

But another mysterious island in the South Pacific

has something even more astounding,

hundreds of massive stone statues.

The number four site on our countdown: Easter Island.

NARRATOR: More than 2,000 miles southeast of Nuku Hiva

is one of the most isolated places on the planet,

Easter Island.

Today, some 5,000 people make their home there,

most of whom are the descendants

of Easter Island's original inhabitants, the Rapa Nui.

But the island's most famous residents

are the hundreds of massive, ancient stone statues

known as moai that are scattered across its grassy cliffs.

Most are between 15 to 20 feet tall,

but the tallest stands over 70 feet,

and the heaviest weighs approximately 165 tons.

PAUL BAHN: The statues on Easter Island, which we call moai,

are one of the great archeological wonders

of the world. They are unique.

And we believe that, overall, they carved

something like a thousand of these moai

over some centuries, maybe even over a thousand years.

ED BARNHART: For the Rapa Nui, the moai are statues

of once living ancestors, that they passed away,

that they moved to the other world,

but that they can still communicate

with their living descendants

through the statues that are the images of them.

HENRY: The thing about these moai is that they have these

very strange faces, very elongated.

They don't look quite human. They're humanoid,

but they're somehow different than ordinary humans.

They look almost alien in appearance.

And you have to wonder, what do they ultimately represent?

NARRATOR: The moai were carved from volcanic rock

quarried at the center of the island.

But just how the ancient Rapa Nui were able to transport

these giant statues remains a mystery.

According to the legends of the Rapa Nui,

their ancestors used a type of energy, known as

"mana," to levitate the giant sculptures into place.

The king was given the gift of mana

from the great creator god, Makemake.

Mana is a magical energy,

and it seemed to be capable of extraordinary feats.

The king used the power of mana

to command that the great stone statues walk.

TSOUKALOS: One has to wonder, well, either they all

were off their rockers, uh, describing these things,

or they witnessed something.

And I'm leaning more in the direction

that they witnessed something

because there had to have been a spark of inspiration.

And so, in my opinion, mana was some type

of extraterrestrial technology that allowed

these stones to be levitated into place.

Some of the most compelling evidence

for the ancient astronaut theory can be found

on a chain of islands just off the coast of France.

Thousands of years ago, the people there were compelled

to build hundreds of mysterious stone structures

that confound researchers to this very day.

Number three on our countdown: the British Isles.

NARRATOR: The North Atlantic.

Consisting of more than 6,000 islands,

including Great Britain and Ireland,

the British Isles are home to more than 72 million people.

But these islands are also home to some of the most

mysterious megaliths on Earth: the stone circles.

The British Isles is the only ancient culture

to have built stone circles on a large scale.

And it all began around 5,100 years ago

off the north coast of Scotland.

And then, over a period of about another hundred years,

the stone circle building tradition spread pretty rapidly

throughout the rest of the British Isles,

through England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland.

NEWMAN: Stonehenge is the most magnificent stone circle

in the British Isles.

It's unique, it's unlike any stone circle

anywhere on the planet.

It's perfectly circular. It has astronomical alignments.

NARRATOR: According to mainstream archaeology,

stone circles like Stonehenge

were constructed as elaborate calendars.

But ancient astronaut theorists believe they served

a more profound purpose.

It is true that-that Stonehenge can be used,

or was used as a calendar.

There is no doubt about it.

However, in order to create a calendar,

there was absolutely zero need to build

a megalithic structure as gigantic as Stonehenge

'cause you could've recreated the entire same thing

by essentially placing ordinary sticks in the ground.

And that was not the case. So, what was it?

NARRATOR: In 2019,

authors Andrew Collins and Graham Phillips

set out to investigate

some of the most mysterious stone circles

of the British Isles, on the Orkney Islands of Scotland.

This small island chain is home to Skara Brae,

an ancient settlement that is over 5,000 years old.

Now known as the Scottish Pompeii,

it was discovered in 1850 after a storm

revealed the ancient ruins.

COLLINS: Just look at this place. I mean, it's just extraordinary.

PHILLIPS: It's pretty sophisticated. I mean, these walls here

are really quite advanced for 5,000 years ago,

when everybody else in the country

was living in, well, mud huts, basically.

I know. And-and the incredible thing about this

is that the descendants of these people end up creating

all of the stone circles around Britain.

NARRATOR: Experts believe that the descendants of Skara Brae

began building stone circles throughout Great Britain,

including Stonehenge.

But what compelled them to do so?

Andrew believes the answer can be found at a stone circle near

Skara Brae called the Ring of Brodgar

and its connection to mysterious lights in the sky.

PHILLIPS: We're here at the Ring of Brodgar.

It is a henge circle, so all around the outside

of it is a ditch, an embankment.

COLLINS: One of the things that's been repeatedly found

in connection with stone circles is that

virtually every location

is also somewhere associated with the appearance

of mysterious lights,

what we'd call UFOs.

We're talking about Stonehenge,

Avebury,

the Isle of Anglesey in Wales.

All of these locations,

mysterious lights appear and then disappear.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the mysterious stone circles

found on the British Isles

were once used to signal otherworldly beings?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and point to the fact

that the stones used to build the ancient circles

contained large amounts of quartz.

Quartz crystal can hold frequency or vibration.

It can store energy, in other words.

That opens the possibility that it has

a technological application.

We use crystals in computers and in radios and lasers,

digital watches.

All kinds of technology is based on quartz crystal.

CHILDRESS: It's been documented in the U.K. that

a lot of these stone circles are associated

with-with strange lights

and UFO activities.

Then we have to wonder about the energy there.

So, it may well be that, in some cases, there's some kind

of electronic, magnetic signature that they put out

that are beacons for UFOs.

NARRATOR: Could it be that extraterrestrial beings

have been visiting the British Isles

for thousands of years?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and suggest further evidence

that ancient islanders were influenced

by otherworldly beings can be found

on a mysterious isle off the coast of Italy,

where archaeologists have uncovered

very curious human-like remains.

The next location on our list

has more than two dozen incredible prehistoric temples

that defy conventional explanation.

But perhaps the most mysterious and intriguing place

on the island can be found underground.

Number two on our countdown: Malta.

NARRATOR: In the center of the Mediterranean Sea,

between Italy and Africa, lies a three-island archipelago

that makes up the Republic of Malta.

PICKNETT: Malta is this really small island nation

just south of Sicily, and it's so small,

it's only 122 square miles in its entirety.

But because it's dead center of the Mediterranean Sea,

Malta really packs a punch historically.

What Malta is most well-known for,

historically, is the incredible series

of megalithic complexes there

created around 3000-4000 BC.

They involve places like Tarxien,

Hagar Qim,

and a quite fantastic

megalithic structure known as Ggantija.

Now, this essentially means "the place of the giantess."

And the fascinating thing

is beliefs on Malta

that all of these structures are made by giants.

NARRATOR: For centuries, visitors to Malta marveled

at the island nation's ancient megalithic structures,

but what no one knew until the 20th century

was that Malta's most extraordinary construction

lied hidden beneath the ground.

In 1902, construction workers

uncovered a massive underground complex

carved out of the bedrock.

Now known as the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni,

it is considered the greatest engineering feat

of the Neolithic age.

The jewel in the archeological crown

of Malta has to be the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni.

This is a remarkable structure,

particularly when you bear in mind

they didn't have metal tools.

It's just mind-boggling.

COLLINS: Archaeologists realized that this was

a huge underground network

of chambers and corridors.

You enter down into it, and there are a series

of three different levels.

All of them are interconnected with corridors

and flow into chambers.

NARRATOR: Soon after the discovery of the Hypogeum,

archaeologists excavating the subterranean chambers

found more than 7,000 skeletons.

Strangely, a great many of them

had skulls that were noticeably elongated.

It was found that some of the skulls

were actually elongated.

They were almost like the head going backwards

rather than upwards.

Does that represent the fact that they were

doing head binding?

They were pressed into shape when these people were babies?

NARRATOR: Head binding has been a practice

of numerous primitive cultures around the world.

It involves tightly wrapping the heads of infants

before their skulls fully harden,

resulting in an elongated shape.

TSOUKALOS: In my opinion, the smoking gun

of this whole extraterrestrial question is

the elongated skull phenomenon.

Worldwide, in different museums, you find these skulls...

...that clearly have an elongated cranium,

and the mainstream explanation is

that our ancestors

did this to mimic their gods of worship.

And right there is where it becomes interesting.

Because, if they mimic someone,

well, you have to have seen someone.

So, is it possible that whoever visited our ancestors

back in the day had these elongated skulls?

And my answer to that is a resounding yes.

We're just moments away

from the most mysterious island on our list.

And we've definitely saved the best for last

because this location contains, what I believe to be

undeniable proof that it was built with the help

of extraterrestrial technology.

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean is a site

that absolutely blows my mind.

The locals say that this artificial island

was built thousands of years ago

with the technology of the gods.

At number one on our countdown: the island of Nan Madol.

NARRATOR: Pohnpei, Micronesia.

Located roughly 2,500 miles northeast of Australia,

this remote island is home to some of the oldest and most

astounding ruins of the ancient world, Nan Madol.

It is an 11-square-mile complex

consisting of more than 100 man-made islets,

standing atop a submerged coral reef.

Archaeologists estimate that, to construct the site,

the builders used 250 million tons of basalt,

some blocks weighing upwards of 50 tons.

Nan Madol is this amazing construction.

It's-it's a full-on city.

When pilots during World War II

would fly over that part of the Pacific,

they would look out their windows, and they would see

what essentially was described as the Venice of the Pacific.

So, that became one of its nicknames.

NARRATOR: In 2019,

ancient astronaut theorists

Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Childress

traveled to the remote island

to try and understand how Nan Madol was built.

TSOUKALOS: This is exciting.

NARRATOR: They were joined by Micronesia's National Historic Preservation

Officer, Gus Kohler.

-All right, hello. Good morning. -Hi, Gus.

-This is our guy. -How are you, Gus?

-Welcome. -Nice to see you.

NARRATOR: And to get an expert opinion

on the megalithic complex...

-Follow me. -NARRATOR: ...they enlisted

UCLA Professor of Structural Engineering, Dr. Henry Burton.

TSOUKALOS: Wow. Look at this.

-Amazing, huh? -That's amazing.

CHILDRESS: So, here is this huge wall here

full of prismatic basalt.

How would you build that then today?

Well, you-you'd certainly need cranes,

I can tell you that. Um...

Even for some of these smaller blocks,

you're talking about on the order of tens of tons.

So, how would you build this if you didn't have any cranes?

It's a mystery to me.

I can't imagine how it could be built without cranes.

CHILDRESS: So, Gus, what is your tradition of

how they built these walls?

NARRATOR: Recently, a growing number of scientists have become

convinced that the basalt used to construct Nan Modal

came from a volcanic outcropping

25 miles northeast of the ancient site.

But how were the massive stones transported

over such a long distance?

To investigate, the team traveled to another site

on the island that is said to have belonged

to Nan Madol's original builders.

CHILDRESS: So, Gus, what is then the oral history

of moving this stone on the island?

NARRATOR: For generations,

the people of Pohnpei have told the story that Nan Madol

was built by strange visitors through a process of levitation.

NARRATOR: According to the tale, the basalt was carried

by what the natives referred to as "a giant bird."

There's one story that says that, at some point, there were

these giant roosters that lived on top of that mountain.

And this rooster took these basalt blocks

and flew them over to Nan Madol.

Now, monster roosters do not exist.

So, my mind always goes to misunderstood technology.

Machines that were provided by the extraterrestrials.

Why is it that remote islands all around the world

are home to so many mysterious structures,

sightings, and legends of otherworldly beings?

Well, perhaps these secluded locations offered

the perfect outposts for extraterrestrials

who came to Earth thousands of years ago

and may still be visiting today.
