- [Tony] Could it be that
aliens are leaving evidence

of their visitations on Earth?

- The locals know to avoid
this place at all costs.

- [Tony] And if so, what
are they trying to tell us?

- This object was
simply unbelievable.

- I've never seen any device
that can stop on a dime

and take off at
maximum velocity.

- [Tony] We found images
that appear to be so unusual,

some people question if
they're from our world at all.

- [George] Some believe that
when you first look at these,

they scream alien.

- [Tony] On this special episode

of "The Proof Is Out
There: Alien Edition,"

our team of top experts will
investigate compelling evidence

of extraterrestrials on Earth.

- We have physical,
deposited evidence,

which is absolutely
mind blowing to me.

- [Tony] And then,
we'll pass a verdict.

- One theory about this thing is
that it is not of this world.

- These are not a hoax.

- The proof starts now.

[dramatic music]

Good evening and welcome to
"The Proof Is Out There."

When a car tears out, it
leaves behind skid marks.

But what does a
UFO leave behind?

We're going back more than
50 years for this first one

in what's been called

some of the most credible
UFO evidence of all time.

November 2nd, 1971, it's
evening in the small town

of Delphos, Kansas.

16-year-old Ron Johnson
is on his family farm

when he suddenly says he sees

a bright mushroom-shaped
spacecraft hovering nearby.

Johnson runs to his parents,
and they return just in time

to see the craft
disappearing in the sky.

But back on the
ground, they find this.

Where the UFO allegedly hovered
is an eight-foot wide ring

with a whitish crust
around the edge.

And take a closer look.

It looks like this
ring is glowing.

Harlan Enlow was one of the
first law enforcement officers

to arrive on the scene.

- It was a eye opening surprise.

Here's this white, dry ring,
looks like a big donut,

sitting in the middle
of a mud field.

And we took statements,
we photographed it,

and we took actual soil samples.

- [Tony] Ron's
mother, Irma Johnson,

tells Harlan she touched
the white substance

and instantly, her
fingers became numb.

Meanwhile, two other
eyewitness reports

of the UFO that night
are soon confirmed,

leading Harlan to
only one conclusion.

- [Harlan] I am 100% convinced
that an incident happened

and what the family
told us was credible.

- [Tony] But it
doesn't end there.

Journalist MJ Banias
says when it comes

to reported UFO landing sites,

these strange sightings
are not unique to Kansas.

- We have multiple
cases that show UFOs

sort of landing on the ground.

One of the most famous
cases was out of the 1980s

in France, in Trans-en-Provence,

where a gentleman was
farming in his field

when he saw this large,
disc-like object

take off into the sky,

and again, it left
impression marks

as to where it was landed,

as well as some burn
marks on the ground.

- With a 21-page soil report,
the Delphos, Kansas UFO

is considered one of the
most lapsed studied UFO cases

in history.

So you'd think if it was
possible to explain this ring,

it would've been done by now.

But no dice.

Well, we got our experts
here to give it another try.

[tense music]

We begin with astronomer

and video effects
designer Marc D'Antonio.

- UFOs have been traditionally
associated with heat,

meaning this might
have been ash.

But there wasn't an
excess of carbon ash

that I could see in
the chemical report.

Some of the elements were
hydrophobic in nature.

- [Tony] It's that
hydrophobicity

that tells physicist Dr.
Matthew Szydagis something's up.

- The term hydrophobic
means water repellent.

Most soil really needs water.

That's how plants grow.

- [Tony] This photo taken
of the Delphos soil sample

about 20 years
after the incident

shows a drop of water
repelling off it.

So there seems to be
something amiss in the soil,

but is it really glowing?

D'Antonio thinks there's an
explanation in the camera.

- It looks brighter on the film

precisely because
it's a brighter soil

compared to the darker soil,

and the camera tries
to balance the light.

- [Tony] But Szydagis
says a camera artifact

doesn't explain further
research from the soil report.

- We have physical,
deposited evidence

that the samples still have the
same glowing property today,

which is absolutely
mind blowing to me.

- [Tony] For some, the
evidence leans alien,

but geologist Dr. Bob Anderson
thinks what we're looking at

is natural, a mix of an
unknown organism in water

creating a froth of bacteria.

- I realize that this
area is pretty conducive

to this kind of thing.

So I don't believe it has
anything to do with the UFO.

I think it's a natural phenomena

of groundwater
interaction and biology.

It's a gas that's being
released by that bacteria.

- [Tony] But what
about the numbness

in the mother's hand?

Dr. Anderson thinks he
can explain that too.

- The mother got her
hand burned a little bit

by touching that ring.

That usually happens
if you have an acid.

It wouldn't surprise
me if something

got into the groundwater.

My gut feeling is is that
there was something buried

in that area that was
manmade, chemical,

which would not show up on
those 1970 soil surveys.

- [Tony] But still,
why the ring shape?

Dr. Szydagis points to
another popular theory,

that we're looking at
a so-called fairy ring.

They're typically
formed by fungus

feeding on decomposing
matter in the soil.

The fungus then grows
from the center outwards

to form a ring.

- Fairy rings are also known

to have a hydrophobic
effect on the soil.

So this does appear to
be a partial explanation

that knocks out
one or two features

but doesn't seem to
fit the entire story.

[tense music]

- From a fairy ring to
a possible UFO landing

and even acidic soil,

there were just so many
conflicting theories here,

plus all those
credible witnesses.

Our verdict is
that this is simply

an unexplained phenomenon.

Before you get any
ideas to investigate,

you should know that the family
eventually buried the ring

to discourage
curious trespassers.

But if you ever come
across one yourself,

you know who to call.

Emerging 5,000 years
ago, ancient Egyptian

is one of the world's
oldest writing systems,

consisting of about
1,000 hieroglyphs.

But one recently discovered
hieroglyph in particular

feels bizarrely out of place.

In fact, it looks like it
belongs right here, right now.

It's April 2009
in Abydos, Egypt.

A French tourist is
visiting the Great Temple

built by pharaoh Seti I.

As he wanders through the site,

he photographs something
high up on a stone wall

that seems quite out of place.

In the photos, we see a
panel in the temple wall

covered with a series
of hieroglyphs.

Some seem just like
standard characters.

But above those appears a
form that looks, to many,

less like something
out of ancient Egypt

and more like a
modern day helicopter.

And even more remarkable,

beside it are what seemed to
be a tank and a spaceship.

- You can see it here
with the rotors up top.

You have the back fin here
and you have the body here.

Many believers see
this as evidence

of an ancient
alien intervention.

- [Tony] Journalist
Eric Grundhauser

explains there's a concept

known as ancient
astronaut theory,

which proposes that some
extraterrestrial beings

visited Earth in centuries past.

- [Eric] It sort of
created this idea

that aliens helped
build the pyramids,

gave us otherworldly technology.

- [Tony] The three
Great Pyramids in Giza

are said to align with
the stars in Orion's Belt,

which would indicate
whoever made them

had advanced
astronomical knowledge

and was able to view
the site from above.

And Grundhauser says many
believe that the appearance

of the other seemingly modern
conveyances on the temple wall

gives even more
credence to this theory.

- Of course you have
the helicopter here,

but then you also have
things described by some

to look like a tank or the
land speeder from "Star Wars."

- Italian artist and
inventor Leonardo da Vinci

made prototype drawings of
an ornithopter flying machine

way back in the mid 1500s,

but the first
successful helicopters

didn't actually lift
off until the 1920s.

So is it possible that
the ancient Egyptians

somehow foresaw our technology,

either through their own
genius or with alien help,

or could they have actually
seen a helicopter-like craft

transported from another
galaxy or from the future?

Let's consult the experts.

[tense music]

Archeologist Ed Barnhart
examines the photos

to determine if the
alien tech theory flies.

- Archeology uses
this term called OOPA,

an out of place artifact.

Something that's out of
place in the time period

you find it in, are OOPAs,

are these glyphs that
really do look like

they're helicopters
and spaceships.

- [Tony] Yet,
anthropologist Kathy Strain

says the placement
of these glyphs

calls the alien
theory into question.

- This is the only place
that this symbol occurs,

and it's actually up in
the corner of the ceiling.

I would expect that if they
had really seen a helicopter,

it would be prominent
in that temple.

I would also suspect
that if they knew

what helicopters were,

they would have them buried
in the tombs of the kings.

And there's nothing like that
that has ever been found.

Because space in a
temple's very valuable.

when one Pharaoh dies
and another Pharaoh

comes into power, he likely
went into the temple

and erased what was there
before and then wrote over it.

And that overwriting
caused this illusion

that that symbol
is a helicopter.

- [Tony] So it just
may be coincidental

for a helicopter to appear
in this amalgamation,

which Barnhart
concludes is created

with a well-known technique.

- This panel, in its current
state, is a palimpsest.

And essentially,
you make plaster

out of the same material.

So you can actually
shape a new spot

on a flat piece of limestone

to look like the raised
hieroglyph that you just erased.

But it doesn't hold
through the test of time

so it it falls off and
you end up getting things

that look like
untranslatable glyphs.

[tense music]

- [Tony] Because of its
inconspicuous placement,

its lack of appearance
elsewhere in ancient Egypt,

and the experience Barnhart has

with the creation
of hieroglyphs,

our verdict is this symbol is
an example of a palimpsest.

The original material
has been written over,

but traces of it remain.

And over time, the
deterioration of the carving

leaves behind an unintended
shape that we recognize,

but not the pharaohs.

- Every year, tourists
flock to snap photos

of natural wonders like
Arizona's Grand Canyon.

But this next amazing
marvel is so remote

and potentially dangerous

that it has very rarely
been photographed,

much less visited.

And it's been confounding
scientists for years.

It's summer 2006 in the
Irkutsk Region of Russia.

Geologists Sergey Yazev
and Dmitry Semenov

have set out to document their
explorations of a remote site

that's baffled
scientists to this day.

In their aerial footage,
we can see a rock formation

protruding from the
surrounding green forest.

The grayish rock
looks otherworldly,

completely separate
from its surroundings.

It rises 130-feet in the air,
with a diameter of 520-feet.

From above, it almost
looks like a giant crater.

However, another spherical
shape rests inside,

like a volcano with a
ball stuck in the center.

Journalist Amy Teitel
says the infamous site

is known as the
Patomskiy Crater.

- It sort of looks
like a crater,

but there's this bolus-looking
thing in the middle.

It's unclear how it formed
or what exactly it is.

And because it's in a
remote location in Siberia,

it's incredibly hard to study.

- [Tony] Teitel says the
site was first studied

by Russian scientists in 1949
when the local Yakut people

warned a young
geologist about it.

- The local people in the
area are the Yakut people,

and they've been aware of this
formation for a long time.

It's known as the Fire Eagle's
Nest or the Devil Place.

The locals know to avoid
this place at all costs.

And they say that anyone
who gets too close to it

is immediately overcome
with a sense of dread.

One expedition
was forced to stop

when its leader died of
a sudden heart attack

just three miles
from the crater.

- In 2010, the Patomskiy
Crater Conference

was held in St.
Petersburg, Russia,

where scientists gathered
to discuss its origin.

Their results, inconclusive.

So is what we're seeing truly
evidence of extraterrestrials?

We have our own team of experts,

so let's see what
they can unearth.

[tense music]

NASA geologist Dr. Bob
Anderson considers one theory

that's gained some traction,

that the crater could
have been created

by two consecutive meteorites.

- We've seen where impacts
have hit this area,

especially Siberia.

My problem with the impact idea

is that you don't see
an ejecta blanket.

- [Tony] Ejecta blanket
is the blanket of debris

surrounding an impact crater.

There is typically a star-shaped
distribution of ejecta

around the crater rim
because the debris

is ejected up and then out.

There's no ejecta blanket here,

so Anderson is able to
rule out meteorites.

Then another theory,
could this be a volcano?

- [Bob] The problem is that this

is in a limestone
sedimentary rock.

Limestones are developed
at the bottom of oceans,

and sedimentary rocks
don't form volcanoes.

- [Tony] Siberia is not known
for its tectonic activity,

so that makes a volcanic
eruption even less likely.

Volcanoes occur most frequently

at the boundaries
of tectonic plates,

where the plates are
actively moving towards

or away from each other,
which isn't happening here.

So could it be a different
kind of explosion?

[explosion booming]

Archeologist Dr. Ed Barnhart
says that scientists

have detected radiation in
the area, leading to theories

about possible undercover
military operations.

- When they really
started studying it,

it was the Cold War.

So, Americans were very worried

that maybe this was
another Russian test site.

The trees around the crater
are growing up taller

and had higher levels of uranium

and thorium.

Radiation does make
certain plant life

grow bigger and stronger.

So now we have some hint
that there is radiation

coming out of here,

but a bomb creates a completely
different kind of crater

than we see here.

This crater is
compact and it's high.

So it's coming up
from the ground.

It's not an explosion that
sent things out to the outside.

- [Tony] But Barnhart
found a clue.

There's a high level
of magnetic activity

in and around this crater.

- [Tony] This could
mean that radiation

is naturally coming up from
deposits under the earth.

- What we're seeing here likely

is the thorium and uranium
that they detected in the trees

decaying under the earth,
making an exothermic reaction,

exploding up into this crater.

The exothermic reaction
is the same heat

that took the surrounding
iron and turned it magnetic.

- [Tony] Anderson
believes all this heat

might have caused what's
known as a mud volcano,

which differs from the
traditional magma volcano

that we've already ruled out.

These natural
formations are created

by the eruption of hot water,
pressurized gases, and mud

as opposed to lava.

- There have been
several mud volcanoes

identified in Greenland,

where you find the sediments
on top and they come up.

I've not heard of one being
dominated by limestone,

but it's not impossible.

- [Tony] One problem, though.

This theory doesn't
explain why this site

instills such fear in the locals

or why the expedition leader
suffered a heart attack.

So the true picture
remains muddy, for now.

[tense music]

Our verdict, this is an
unexplained geological anomaly

that still has us all stumped.

It's possible it was
caused by a mud volcano,

but that doesn't explain
why the formation

is made out of limestone.

Luckily, we feel like
we're in good company

if the greatest minds on
Earth are also at a loss.

- Humans have been carving
and drawing on rocks

for tens of thousands of years,

but we've never seen
anything quite as precise

as this next formation.

Maybe it's a monument,
maybe it's a message,

and it's definitely a mystery.

It's October, 2021
near the Tayma Oasis

in northwest Saudi Arabia.

Photographer Satish Javali

is trekking through
the remote desert area

to document a magnificent site.

His shots show a
monumental rock formation

in the shape of a
rounded rectangle.

It appears to be a monadnock,

which is an isolated
massive stone.

The 18 by 27-foot
ochre-colored slab

is covered in prehistoric
petroglyphs of horses, camels,

and hunters shown in
stark relief and detail.

But these 4,000
year old drawings

are not the most notable
feature of this formation.

That honor is reserved for
a perfectly precise crevice

that divides the rock in two.

The crack is so
straight and exact

that it seems impossible it
could be natural or even manmade

without the most
advanced precision tools.

What's even more remarkable
is that each half

is balanced precariously
on a pedestal,

yet the formation remains
standing after millennia.

Satish says he's never seen
anything quite like it.

- It is simply mind-blowing the
way the rock has been split.

The archeological
specialists have gone there,

but nobody has come up
with the right answer.

- [Tony] The large, solid
boulder looks as though

it was split in half with the
aid of a precision laser.

It's hard to believe this
perfect crack down the middle

could have been accidental.

So there are a couple of
things I wanna show you

with the Al Naslaa rock.

First of all, this
pedestal right here,

this pedestal right here.

Built for monuments
to rest on, right?

Take a look at the
line down the center.

How does this happen?

If you had a stone saw,

could you cut the
stone that perfectly?

Again, there are petroglyphs
all through this rock.

This rock was created hundreds
of thousands of years ago.

And it has certainly spawned
wild and amazing stories.

Journalist Eric
Grundhauser says one theory

is that the people who drew
the glyphs 4,000 years ago

also split the rock.

But did they have advanced
enough technology at that time?

- The ancient
cultures of the area

were working with much
more rudimentary tools

than one would expect to
be able to create something

with such precision.

It's almost as if someone
would've had to have had a laser

or some sort of highly,
highly precision saw

to create this sort of break.

It could have been
created possibly

by the Nabataean people,

the same culture that created
the Petra site in Jordan,

whose knowledge and expertise

would've possibly
been advanced enough

to create something
with such precision

as we see in the Al
Naslaa formation.

Is it possible that
the Al Naslaa formation

was created by
extraterrestrials?

Was it left as a gift,

not unlike the monolith from
"2001: A Space Odyssey,"

to push humanity
forward, to inspire us?

- As early as the
fifth century BC,

the Nabataean began carving

elaborate multi-story
building facades

into the red sandstone
cliff faces of Petra.

But that site is in Jordan,

450 miles away from
the Al Naslaa rock,

and it involves more
complex carvings

than a single straight
line through one rock

in the middle of nowhere.

So that might be a stretch.

Let's see what our
experts can dig up.

[tense music]

Physicist Matthew
Szydagis investigates

to see if the rock in Al Naslaa

could actually have been
made by man or aliens.

- So I've taken an image
of the Al Naslaa rock,

and I've actually drawn

two perfectly straight
lines from my computer.

And what you can see
in several locations

is that actually the rock
pokes past the straight lines.

So this gap is actually
not perfectly straight.

Humans could create
cuts in rocks,

and nearby civilizations here
are known to have done that.

No need for ancient aliens.

- [Tony] Since the
line isn't actually

as perfectly straight
as it looks at first,

perhaps it was made by
people from the region.

Archeologist Dr. Ed Barnhart

says nearby ancient
civilizations like the Egyptians

had special techniques
for cutting into rock

without high tech tools.

- The typical way that Egyptians

would split a stone like this

would be to get up
on the top of it

and pick holes
into it in a line.

Then as they pecked
the holes deep,

they then put wooden stakes
inside each one of the holes.

- [Tony] So the Egyptians
would put the stakes

in a straight line, like
the one seen at Al Naslaa.

- And then they would
water those stakes

like you water a plant.

When the wood expanded
together as a line of stakes,

they would pull the rock apart.

And that split will travel
through the whole stone

and split it.

- [Tony] But geologist
Dr. Bob Anderson

says there aren't
any telltale signs

of this construction technique
that you would expect to see

on the top or sides of the
rock if the crack was manmade.

- There's no chip marks,
there's no pieces.

You don't even see fragments
on the ground around it

that would say if you're
chipping and breaking.

I realized that this monadnock,
or this isolated rock here,

is not isolated.

There's almost a trail
of boulders going back.

They're all cracked
at the exact location.

You can see that the
crack is a result

of regional tectonic features.

- [Tony] So Anderson
believes the rock

may sit on a fault line and
it's likely an earthquake

or shifting tectonic
plates created the crack,

not just in this boulder,

but in other rocks along
the same fault line.

Or it could also be that
the crack is a joint,

which in geological terms

means when a rock breaks
naturally without displacement.

It's rare, but sometimes the
fracture can divide the rock

in an unusually straight line.

Another possibility is
that freeze-thaw weathering

may have caused the crack.

But no matter how
it was split in two,

Anderson thinks erosion
may have played a part

in its near perfect appearance.

- The reason it
looks so clearly cut

is because it's been
willowed out by the wind.

It's being almost like
sandblasted and polished,

which has opened
up that crack more.

- [Tony] The ground around
and under the boulder

eroded so much that eventually
it was left just resting

on these two natural pedestals.

Someday, the forces of gravity

will likely cause
it to collapse.

[tense music]

The Al Naslaa rock has baffled
scientists for centuries,

but we think we finally
found the true answer.

Our verdict?

Tectonic activity
created a crack thousands

or even millions of years ago.

It was later perfected
with erosion,

which also made those pedestals
the rock now rests on.

- We've seen videos
of UFOs zigzagging,

tracking commercial aircraft,
and even splitting in two,

but this next video is
something different.

And if nothing else, it
proves that what goes up

does not always come down.

November 2020, on
the coast of Cornwall

in southwest England,
a live webcam viewer

is recording a gorgeous sunset.

But the footage
captures something

more than a
postcard-worthy seascape.

A glowing orb races
onto screen, hovers,

then rocket straight
up and out of frame.

Watch again.

Rapid deceleration and
then vertical flight.

It appears to rocket almost
3,000 feet straight up

in less than a second.

Some observers on the internet

alleged it was some
kind of alien craft,

but there was another theory.

See how quickly
the object rises?

With that kind of
speed, is it trying

to not just leave the Earth
but also our time period?

- That indicates some sort
of space-time distortion.

- [Tony] Anthropologist
Michael Masters theorizes

that the passengers in
UFO sightings like this

could be us from the future.

- It's important to
consider our own evolution

and our technological
and biological evolution

in the sense that
maybe they're us.

Maybe they're coming
from the future

to examine their own
hominin evolutionary past.

- [Tony] Masters believes
that if future humans

can manipulate time to
travel into the past,

they might also be able
to build spacecraft

capable of these
remarkable maneuvers.

- [Michael] This would also
make sense in the context

of what we see in this video,

as this craft flies in
at tremendous speed,

and stops instantaneously,

and then accelerates
at tremendous speed.

- [Tony] G-force is a
measure of acceleration,

with 1 G the force
Earth exerts on us.

And at first glance,
it looks like G-force

generated by this
object's acceleration

would be off the charts.

- I've never seen any device
that can stop on a dime

and take off at
maximum velocity.

So I would suspect that
if this is for real,

it's either an experimental
craft by the military

or, let's face it,

possibly an extraterrestrial
civilization.

- The forces suggested
by this video

pose a technical problem
for the time travel theory.

Today's astronauts endure
about 3 Gs on liftoff.

At around 6 Gs, the average
person can black out.

Past 100 Gs, the forces
can shatter bones

and squash our organs.

So if this is a craft
transporting humans

from the future, how
would they survive?

Is another explanation
more plausible?

Let's turn the video
over to our experts.

[tense music]

Forensic video analyst
Michael Primeau

checks to make sure
this video isn't a fake.

- I don't detect any evidence

to support that this
has been fabricated

or that this object
has been inserted

into the video recording.

I've examined dozens of UFOs
and UAPs over the years,

and I have seen some
objects that travel

at a high rate of speed.

This is exhibiting
similar characteristics.

- [Tony] So the video is legit
and the object's rapid movement

is consistent with
other UFO sightings,

but that doesn't rule out every
existing human technology.

- A leading theory
would be a drone.

- [Tony] But Tim McMillan
says a secret military drone

wouldn't be out in public.

And regulations for
commercial drones

make that explanation unlikely.

- First of all, for
commercial drones,

they're capped off at 300-feet
for regulation purposes,

so it's hard to get
an accurate gauge

on altitude and everything,

but we can see it move through
the cloud cover out of frame.

So it definitely
appears to be exceeding

that 300-foot maximum
that you would expect

with a commercial drone.

This one's unique.

I don't know that I have

a very good explanation
for it, frankly.

- [Tony] Astronomer and video
effects designer Marc D'Antonio

wonders if the object might
be something else entirely,

a reflection.

- If this is a webcam, are we
seeing this through a window?

Does that mean
there is something

being put on the window,

like a laser pointer, that
is moving across the window,

causing this to look this way?

- [Tony] But look at
the rest of the frame.

There are no other reflections

suggesting there's a glass
window between the camera

and the image it's recording.

- [Marc] I can't tell
from this, so I can't come

to any reasonable conclusions.

- [Tony] This one
seems to have stumped

just about everyone.

So that leaves Masters'
time travel theory.

What does D'Antonio make of it?

- We've already
figured out that we

might be able to go faster
than the speed of light

by using a warpage
of space-time.

And NASA has got a funded
lab looking at this

because they think it's a
possibility down the line.

- [Tony] And recent research
indicates that a worm hole,

another warpage in space-time,

could be used to
travel through time.

- You know, sometimes
science fiction

does become science fact,
and it's a possibility.

[tense music]

- So our verdict?

Well, it's not a hoax, and
it's not a plane or a drone,

and it's not a laser pointer.

Until we can identify
it conclusively,

we'll consider
this a genuine UFO.

But look, we really wanna
get to the bottom of this.

If you have any more
information about this clip,

please reach out
and let us know.

- It is not uncommon
to find remains

of deceased animals on
a walk in the woods.

What's weird is
when those remains

don't look like anything we
remember from biology class.

It's January 17th, 2019.

Art student Kohei
Kadowaki says he is hiking

through the dense
woods near his home

in Chichibu City, Japan
when he comes upon a figure

that is totally alien to him.

The footage and photos
show what looks like

the skeletal remains
of some creature.

But what?

As we zoom in for a closer look,

we can see it has strange,
long, twisted talons.

Its spine is severely bent,

with a bone structure that
looks almost birdlike.

But then there's the head,
which is more square-shaped,

which conjures the image of
Hollywood extraterrestrials.

And we see two rows of
yellow, humanoid-like teeth.

It's no wonder
Kohei was compelled

to post the video online.

- Obviously, one
theory about this thing

is that it is not of this world.

There are things about
it that are very ET

by way of a giraffe.

It does sort of
have the head shape

that a Grey alien might have.

- [Tony] Grey aliens

are the most frequently
cited extraterrestrials

in reports of close
encounters and abductions,

such as the famous Barney and
Betty Hill abduction claim

from 1961.

They described Greys as
having small, hairless,

humanoid bodies with large
heads and black eyeballs.

These remains fit that
description somewhat,

but there are other
possibilities as well.

- Maybe this creature is the
result of radiation fallout.

Japan was the site of
two nuclear detonations

in World War II.

And more recently,

there was the 2011
Fukushima nuclear disaster,

which was rated a number seven

on the international nuclear
and radiological event scale,

which was the same as Chernobyl.

- A lot of speculation
on this one.

There was even buzz
that it was some kind

of biological
experiment gone wrong.

The obvious explanation
is that it's a hoax.

But Grey alien sightings
are always a hot topic,

so we'll give this
figure its day in court.

[tense music]

First, we take the footage to
anthropologist Kathy Strain,

who has researched
accounts of Grey aliens.

So how does this corpse compare?

- When people talk
about the Greys,

they usually bring up
that there's little ones

and there's big ones.

And the larger ones
have very long necks

and they're very skinny.

And this doesn't
really look like that

because the proportion with
the long neck and the head

isn't correct for it to be
one of the taller Greys.

The legs should be
much, much longer.

The arms should be much longer.

Everything should be
scaled upward in size.

- [Tony] What about the
nuclear radiation theory?

- The chances that the skeletons
are still out in the wild

is unlikely.

- [Tony] Raccoons
eat dead animals,

and they are so
prevalent in Japan

their overpopulation is
causing a national hubbub.

In the past decade,

the country's raccoon
population has tripled.

Strain says any corpse
decomposing in the woods

outside Chichibu since the
2011 Fukushima disaster

would've been picked apart
by wildlife scavengers.

And she points out something
else that bothers her.

- Its eye sockets are too small

to actually have an
exterior eyeball.

You may be born without
physical exterior eyes,

but you would still have
human-sized eye sockets

below the skin.

[baby crying]

- [Tony] Microphthalmia
is a phenomenon

on which someone's born
with one or two eyes

that are very small.

The eye sockets on this
creature are small,

but they appear too tiny

even for a creature
with microphthalmia.

Biologist Floyd Hayes
is also skeptical

that these remains ever
belonged to a living being.

- There are ways in
which we could change

the morphology of animal

typically by giving
it an extra limb,

or a digit, or even a head.

But to get something to
change so dramatically

like the entire head shape

so it's sticking out on both
sides or a much longer neck,

that's much more
difficult to do.

- [Tony] Hayes is left with
one remaining possibility.

- I believe this is a hoax.

- [Tony] Given that
none of the theory

seemed to hold up, we
tracked down Kohei in Japan.

And when pressed, he
admitted the alien corpse

is a project he
created for his studies

at Tokyo University of the Arts.

[tense music]

- So mystery solved,
this was a clever hoax.

Exciting as it may be
to imagine stumbling

upon an alien skeleton
during a hike in the woods,

this figure just
doesn't cut the mustard.

- Prehistoric cave paintings
have been discovered

all around the world.

But deep in the
Australian Outback,

we found some images that
appear to be so unusual,

some people question if they
are from our world at all.

Instead, could they be
ancient alien astronauts?

In the Kimberley Region
of Western Australia,

the aboriginal people

left intriguing
paintings on cave walls.

They are called the Wandjina,

incredible beings Aboriginals
said created the world.

incredible beings Aboriginals
said created the world.

Take a closer look.

Do you see the round
heads and circular eyes?

According to George Haas,

founder of the The
Cydonia Institute,

the Wandjina could be out
of this world evidence.

- They have radiating feathers
that come off the head.

Some believe that when
you first look at these,

they scream alien.

And the absence of mouths
suggest that possibly,

these extraterrestrials
were telepathic.

- [Tony] Wait a minute,
did he say aliens?

It's an intriguing theory.

What we do know is that
Australian aboriginal culture

goes back 65,000 years and
holds that humans were created

by the Wandjina.

These unique paintings are
a record of that period,

which they call Dreamtime.

- You don't see
these type of images

in other cave paintings done
by Neanderthals and early man,

which mostly deal with hunting
and animals, deer, bison.

But these paintings that
we're seeing in Australia

are totally unique.

- [Tony] In some tales, the
Wandjina are referred to

as sky beings or
spirits from the clouds

who came down from the Milky Way

and created the
Earth and its people.

- Some believe that these
portraits of the Wandjina

certainly blur the line
between extraterrestrial

and spiritual world.

They seem to have
aspects of both.

- When it comes to our origins,

some speculate that ancient
extraterrestrial visitors

engineered the creation
of modern humans

through DNA manipulation
or some other means.

The paintings are intriguing.

Look closely at the
lines going across,

creating sections on
the body here and here.

Could this be the pattern
of an ancient spacesuit?

We asked our experts.

[tense music]

We begin with
anthropologist Kathy Strain,

who notes that if the paintings
are an elaborate hoax,

then someone must have thought
of it over a century ago.

- They were documented
by anthropologists

more than a hundred years ago.

And outside the fact that
you're adding some paint

to keep the color alive,
they haven't changed.

These are not a hoax.

- [Tony] So if the pictures
are real, are they of aliens?

We ask archeologist Ed Barnhart.

- There are people who envision

that it's helmets on their heads
and suits on their bodies,

but this is a very
plodding-looking helmet,

the kind of helmet that you
see in 1950s aliens movies.

It's kind of
ridiculous to believe

that an advanced civilization
came here in suits

that, in our current
technology, are archaic.

- [Tony] And the idea that
these designs on the bodies

are spacesuits?

- You're gonna see
an image like this

and envision suits
on their bodies.

But we do see today, in
aboriginal ceremonies,

people typically paint their
bodies completely white,

their faces, their hair,

and then they'll put some
kind of decoration over that.

So I think that it is clearly
connected to aboriginal people

who today, paint their bodies
in a very similar fashion.

- [Tony] In fact, Kathy Strain
sees a clue in one image

that convinces her these
are strictly human bodies.

- [Kathy] It is pretty
rare to see genitalia

of a male in rock art.

And based on things
that witnesses say,

that space aliens
don't have genitalia,

that that's not
how they reproduce,

these look like human genitalia.

- [Tony] So what are we seeing?

- The halo around the head,

I don't believe that they
intended it to be interpreted

as anything other than it's
the process of transforming,

and that's your head kind
of extending above itself

and continuing to carry out.

- [Tony] The halo has been used

in many different cultures
throughout history

to represent spiritual
transformation,

including the
Aboriginal Australians.

- These images around the heads

are some kind of symbol

of the expansion of
their minds and spirits.

[tense music]

- So our verdict, these
were likely humans.

In fairness, you do have to ask,

do the aboriginal traditions
of body decorations

stem from a time when
strange beings were observed?

It's impossible to
completely discount.

But if these particular
paintings were aliens,

well, then let's just say they
were endowed in a human way.

From a UFO landing

to extraterrestrial
writing and drawings,

we've unveiled some pretty
remarkable evidence.

But one question still remains.

If aliens are attempting
to leave evidence behind,

what do they want us to know?
