Narrator: UFOS HAVE BEEN SEEN ALL ACROSS
THE GLOBE.

NOW, ACCORDING TO SOME,
SHOCKING NEW EVIDENCE

SUGGESTS MANKIND HAS ACTUALLY
INTERACTED WITH UFOs

AND OTHERWORLDLY BEINGS
THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

Man: WHEN YOU LOOK
AT ANCIENT MYSTERIES,

CAVE DRAWINGS,
PETROGLYPHS,

IT'S BEEN GOING ON
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

Narrator: EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS,
THEIR TOMBS

AND TEMPLES REVEALING
ASTONISHING SECRETS.

Woman: WHEN YOU HAVE A RULER
WHO IS HALF GOD,

HALF MAN, WAS HE, IN FACT,

EXTRATERRESTRIAL AND HUMAN?

Narrator: ROYAL BLOODLINES
AND DISTORTED SKULLS

EXPOSING A LINK TO ALIEN

BEINGS LONG HIDDEN
THROUGH THE AGES.

Man: DNA TESTING SHOWS THAT
THEY'RE NOT HUMAN.

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT
THEY'RE NOT FROM THIS PLANET.

Narrator:
EVEN IN THE RENAISSANCE,

POSSIBLE SECRETS
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Man: THERE'S A MAN
STARING UP AT IT

JUST LIKE ANYONE SEEING A UFO

WOULD STARE UP AT A UFO.

Narrator: AND, MORE RECENTLY,

A UFO EVENT CAPTURED
IN STUNNING

DETAIL IN THIS FOOTAGE REVEALS
A CENTURIES-LONG RELATIONSHIP

WITH SKY BEINGS.

Man:
THE 1997 PHOENIX LIGHTS CASE

REMAINS ONE OF THE LARGEST
COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINED MASS UFO

SIGHTINGS IN NOT ONLY U.S.
HISTORY BUT IN WORLD HISTORY.

Narrator: NEW INFORMATION
IS TRANSFORMING

WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE ABOUT
EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT.

ARE UFOs REALLY
VISITING OUR WORLD?

IS THE GOVERNMENT
HIDING THE TRUTH?

AND, IF SO, COULD A RENEWED
LOOK AT UNEXPLAINED ANOMALIES

IN EARLY ARCHAEOLOGY,

ARTWORK AND BIOLOGY PROVIDE
SHOCKING NEW EVIDENCE

OF THE INTERACTION
BETWEEN HUMANS AND UFOs

THROUGHOUT HISTORY?

Narrator: JUNE 8, 2016 --

CAIRO, EGYPT.

THE MUSEUM OF EGYPTIAN
ANTIQUITIES RELEASES

A REPORT THAT BECOMES
WORLDWIDE BREAKING NEWS.

IT CLAIMS THAT KING TUTANKHAMUN,

THE YOUNG PHARAOH
WHO DIED AT 19,

WAS ENTOMBED WITH ONE
OF THE MOST MYSTIFYING ARTIFACTS

EVER DISCOVERED
IN THE ANCIENT WORLD.

IT'S ONLY VERY RECENTLY
THAT IT'S EMERGED,

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY
OF ONE OF THE DAGGERS

THAT WAS BURIED WITH HIM.

Narrator: THIS DAGGER, MADE FROM
EXTRAORDINARILY RARE METALS,

HAS INCREDIBLE SIGNIFICANCE
TO UFO EXPERTS.

THE RECENT FINDING IS
ALL THE MORE ASTONISHING

BECAUSE KING
TUT'S MUMMIFIED REMAINS

AND THE MYSTERIOUS OBJECTS FOUND

IN HIS TOMB
HAVE BEEN CLOSELY STUDIED

EVER SINCE THEIR DISCOVERY
ALMOST A CENTURY AGO.

IN 1922, HOWARD CARTER,

UH, OPENED KING
TUTANKHAMUN'S TOMB

AFTER IT'D BEEN SEALED
FOR OVER 3,000 YEARS.

WHEN THEY CRACKED
OPEN THE TOMB,

THEY FOUND CHARIOTS.

THEY FOUND A -- A GOLDEN THRONE.
THERE WAS THE TOMB ITSELF,

WHICH WAS THIS INCREDIBLY
ORNATE STRUCTURE.

Narrator: INSIDE THE NOW FAMOUS
SOLID GOLD COFFIN,

THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS FOUND

THE YOUNG PHARAOH'S
MUMMIFIED CORPSE.

SO MUMMIFICATION IN EGYPT DATES
BACK TO ABOUT 5,000 YEARS AGO.

WHAT YOU DO IS YOU
GOTTA GET RID OF ALL

OF THE MOISTURE IN OUR BODIES.

Narrator: BUT DID THE EGYPTIANS
REALLY PREPARE THE KING

FOR A JOURNEY TO ANOTHER REALM
OR FOR A FUTURE ENCOUNTER

WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL ANCESTORS,

AS UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE?

NOW, THE DAGGER,

DISCOVERED WITH AN ORNATE
GOLD HANDLE AND SHEATH,

IS WHAT INVESTIGATORS
ARE FOCUSED ON.

Man: HIS BODY WAS FOUND WITH
SEVERAL WEAPONS,

INCLUDING DAGGERS.

AND ONE OF 'EM
WAS REALLY INTERESTING

BECAUSE IT WAS MADE OF IRON.

IRON WAS A REALLY VERY UNUSUAL
SUBSTANCE FOR THE EGYPTIANS.

AND IT'S VERY BIZARRE THAT,
THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER,

YOU HAVE THIS IRON KNIFE
THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST.

THAT IS, IN OF ITSELF,

AN INDICATION THAT THE IRON

MAY HAVE COME
FROM SOME UNUSUAL SOURCE.

Narrator: EARLY TESTS ON
THE IRON DAGGER'S COMPOSITION

WERE INCONCLUSIVE.

BUT, IN 2016, A RESEARCH TEAM

RE-EXAMINED THE DAGGER
WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY.

USING AN X-RAY
FLUORESCENT SPECTROMETER,

THEY DETERMINED THE METAL'S
ELEMENTAL MAKEUP.

AND THE RESULTS
WERE STUNNING.

THE IRON CAME NOT
FROM THE EARTH

BUT FROM THE COSMOS.

YOU KNOW, KING TUT WAS
DISCOVERED IN THE 1920s.

AND WE'RE JUST LEARNING
THIS NOW THAT,

IN ADDITION TO A GOLD DAGGER,

WHICH HE WAS BURIED WITH,

WAS A DAGGER OF METEORIC ORIGIN.

AT THE VERY LEAST,
YOU HAVE TO SAY

THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS UNDERSTOOD

THAT THIS WAS
A VERY RARE THING.

AND I DO THINK IT'S RATHER
INTERESTING THAT HE WAS BURIED

WITH AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL
ARTIFACT.

SO THE EGYPTIANS KNEW

THAT THIS IRON
HAD COME FROM SPACE.

IT HAD COME FROM THAT
PLACE BEYOND THE STARS

THAT THEY ALL WANTED TO GO
TO WHEN THEY PASSED.

AND, CLEARLY, THEY KNEW
THE KING'S DAGGER

WAS OF INCREDIBLE RARITY
AND SIGNIFICANCE.

Narrator: BUT DID THE IRON
IN KING TUT'S DAGGER

SIMPLY FALL FROM THE COSMOS
AS A METEORITE?

OR, AS MANY UFO
RESEARCHERS BELIEVE,

COULD IT HAVE
EXTRATERRESTRIAL IMPLICATIONS?

ANCIENT EGYPTIANS BELIEVED
THAT THE PHARAOHS

WERE COSMIC DEITIES,
HALF MAN AND HALF GOD.

WHEN YOU HAVE A RULER
WHO IS VIEWED BY THE PEOPLE

AS HALF MAN, HALF GOD,

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

COULD THERE BE SOME
SORT OF GENETIC ALTERING?

WAS HE, IN FACT,
EXTRATERRESTRIAL AND HUMAN?

Man: KING TUT HIMSELF
WAS ACTUALLY NAMED

AFTER HIS FATHER, AKHENATEN.

AND THE PURPOSE
OF NAMING HIM

THAT WAS TO CONNECT HIM
WITH THE SUN GOD, ATEN.

TUTANKHAMUN'S NAME ACTUALLY
MEANS, LITERALLY,

THE LIVING IMAGE OF ATEN.

Narrator:
TUT'S FATHER, AKHENATEN,

WAS A CONTROVERSIAL PHARAOH
OF EGYPT'S 18th DYNASTY

WHO WORSHIPPED THE SUN GOD,

ATEN, AS THE CREATOR,
GIVER OF LIFE

AND NURTURING SPIRIT
OF THE WORLD.

STRANGELY,
DEPICTIONS OF AKHENATEN

AND HIS WIFE, NEFERTITI,

HAVE RAISED MANY QUESTIONS
IN THE UFO COMMUNITY.

AKHENATEN AND NEFERTITI HAD

A VERY UNUSUAL
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

THEY HAD EXTREMELY
LONG NECKS,

ELONGATED SKULLS FREQUENTLY
COVERED WITH HATS.

ALTHOUGH THEY WERE
PHYSICALLY VERY BEAUTIFUL,

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY HAD
SOMETHING MORE TO THEM

THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON.

THERE'S SOME INTERESTING
HIEROGLYPHS THAT SHOW AKHENATEN

AND NEFERTITI HOLDING UP
A CHILD, WHICH WAS PROBABLY TUT.

AND THEY'RE HOLDING UP
THE CHILD TO THIS VERY,

VERY BRIGHT OBJECT IN THE SKY

AS IF THEY'RE RECEIVING
SOME SORT OF ENERGY,

TRANSMISSIONS,
PERHAPS INFORMATION,

FROM SOME HIGHER SOURCE.

WHETHER THAT HIGHER SOURCE
IS THE SUN OR THE SUN GOD

AS IT'S DEPICTED IN THE IMAGE
OR WHETHER IT'S ACTUALLY A --

A -- A SPACECRAFT
OF SOME KIND IS --

IS HIGHLY DEBATABLE.

Narrator: ADDING TO THE ALREADY
BIZARRE PHYSICAL TRAITS

OF HIS PARENTS,
X-RAYS AND CT SCANS

OF KING TUT'S MUMMIFIED BODY

REVEAL THAT THE BOY
KING HAS SIGNIFICANT

PHYSICAL DEFORMITIES SIMILAR
TO HIS ROYAL FAMILY.

KING TUT HAD X-RAYS

AND CAT SCANS TAKEN
OF HIS SKULL IN LONDON.

NOW, THE INTERESTING THING

THAT WE SEE RIGHT AWAY
IS THIS ELONGATED SKULL.

A NORMAL HUMAN SKULL
WOULD CROP HERE.

ALL THAT'S EXTRA.

AND WE WONDER IF HE WAS
NATURALLY BORN THIS WAY

OR IF IT WAS DONE TO HIM
FOR SOME CRUEL REASON.

THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SKULL.

Narrator: FOR UFO RESEARCHERS,
CRUCIAL QUESTIONS REMAIN.

HOW DO WE EXPLAIN
THE UNUSUAL PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES

OF KING TUT
AND HIS ROYAL PARENTS?

AND COULD THERE
BE FURTHER EVIDENCE

OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL
CONNECTIONS BEYOND THE DAGGER?

Man: KING TUT'S DYNASTY
IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT

ONE IN ANCIENT EGYPT.

AND THERE WERE ACTUALLY ALSO
SOME INTERESTING UFO SIGHTINGS,

AT LEAST ONE THAT'S RECORDED,

FROM THAT SAME DYNASTY,

OF A LARGE FIERY OBJECT
THAT APPEARS,

IS THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

NO ONE REALLY KNEW
WHAT TO DO WITH THIS.

AND THEN, EVENTUALLY,
THE, UH, THE FIERY OBJECT,

UH, WENT AWAY.

Narrator: DOES THE EVIDENCE
SUPPORT THE THEORY PROPOSED

BY UFO EXPERTS THAT
THE EGYPTIAN ROYAL FAMILY

COULD HAVE HAD INTERACTIONS
WITH OTHERWORLDLY ENTITIES?

AND, IF SO, MIGHT KING
TUT'S IRON DAGGER

HAVE SIMPLY BEEN HANDED
TO HIM IN LIFE LIKE A GIFT

BY BEINGS THAT ARRIVED HERE

IN WHAT WE CALL UFOs?

YOU HAVE THIS PATTERN
WHERE THE BLOODLINES,

THE DNA, SUPPOSEDLY DESCENDS
FROM THESE GODS OF ANCIENT EGYPT

WHO MAY HAVE BEEN
ACTUALLY NOT GODS AT ALL

BUT PEOPLE FROM ANOTHER WORLD

WHO CAME HERE
FOR THEIR OWN REASONS.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DAGGER
AND THE ELONGATED SKULLS

AND THE CARVINGS
ON THEIR TEMPLES,

I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE
ALL CONNECTED.

SO I BELIEVE THAT THEY DID,
IN FACT, INTERBREED WITH ALIENS.

AND, WHEN THEY DIED,
THEY WERE GONNA GO BACK

TO THEIR HOME PLANET
IN THE AFTERLIFE.

Narrator: FOR MANY, THE THEORY
THAT EGYPT'S ROYAL FAMILY

COULD BE CONNECTED
TO INTERSTELLAR

BEINGS COULD SEEM FAR-FETCHED.

BUT UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE
THERE IS EVEN MORE EVIDENCE

THAT RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS

UNEXPLAINED BY SCIENCE,

EVIDENCE FOUND HALFWAY
AROUND THE WORLD

LINKING UFOs TO 3,000-YEAR-OLD

REMAINS UNEARTHED IN PERU.

ator: THE MYSTERY OF ANCIENT
EGYPTIAN MUMMIFICATION

AND ELONGATED SKULLS
AND QUESTIONS

ABOUT THEIR POSSIBLE CONNECTION
TO OTHERWORLDLY ENTITIES DEEPENS

WHEN UFO RESEARCHERS DISCOVER

HIGHLY UNUSUAL ANCIENT
CARVED DEPICTIONS.

HERE, 25 MILES NORTHEAST

OF THE VALLEY
OF THE KINGS,

ALONG THE NILE RIVER,
LIES ABYDOS, EGYPT,

AND THE ANCIENT
RUINS OF THE SETI TEMPLE.

ABYDOS IS A CITY IN EGYPT
ABOUT 150 MILES FROM CAIRO

WHERE A LOT OF THE ANCIENT
KINGS ARE BURIED.

A LOT OF THE ANCIENT PHARAOHS
AND THEIR WIVES ARE BURIED.

AND IT'S A VERY BIZARRE PLACE

BECAUSE THERE'S ALL
THESE TEMPLES SET UP

TO THESE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN GODS

AND GOD-KINGS.

Narrator: INSIDE EGYPT'S MOST
EXTRAORDINARY TEMPLE,

THERE EXISTS STRANGE
AND HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL

STONE RELIEFS CARVED
INTO THE WALLS

AND SUPPORT BEAMS
THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.

Man: ABOUT 15, 20 YEARS AGO,

A PANEL ACTUALLY FELL OFF
ABOVE ONE OF THESE COLUMNS.

AND IT REVEALED A MUCH
OLDER PANEL BEHIND IT, IN FACT,

A PANEL THAT MAY HAVE GONE

ALL THE WAY BACK
TO 10,000 YEARS AGO.

AND, ON THIS PANEL,

YOU CAN SEE WHAT ARE CLEARLY

TECHNOLOGICAL WAR MACHINES.

Man: PEOPLE LOOK AT IT
BECAUSE THEY SEE

WHAT LOOKS LIKE A HELICOPTER
AND OTHER TYPES OF MACHINERY.

UH, SOME PEOPLE THINK
ONE THING LOOKS LIKE

A SUBMARINE AND SO FORTH.

Man: THESE SETI TEMPLE IMAGES
ARE FASCINATING.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WE WERE,

AT SOME STAGE
IN THE PAST,

VISITED BY SOMEBODY
WHO HAD ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THESE IMAGES SHOW.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS
IN THE MIND'S EYE

OF WHOEVER CREATED THOSE IMAGES,

WHETHER THEY'RE LITERAL

OR JUST SOMETHING
FROM THE IMAGINATION.

Narrator: MAINSTREAM SCHOLARS
ARE AT A COMPLETE LOSS

TO EXPLAIN
HOW SUCH IMAGES

COULD HAVE BEEN IMAGINED
THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.

YOU HAVE OBJECTS THERE THAT,

BY ALL CONVENTIONAL TERMS,

WOULD LOOK LIKE
MODERN-DAY AIRCRAFT.

HOW COULD THIS BE?

WERE THEY SOMETHING THAT
THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS SAW?

Narrator: EXPERTS IN THE UFO
COMMUNITY BELIEVE

THE MYSTERY CAN BE EXPLAINED
BY TAKING A CLOSER LOOK

AT THE REASON
THE SETI TEMPLE WAS BUILT.

THE ENTIRE TEMPLE AT ABYDOS

IS ESSENTIALLY A TEMPLE
TO THE EGYPTIAN GOD, OSIRIS,

THE GOD OF THE AFTERLIFE,
THE DEAD,

JUDGEMENT AND RESURRECTION.

Narrator: IN ANCIENT
EGYPTIAN WRITINGS,

KNOWN AS THE PYRAMID TEXTS,
OSIRIS IS SAID TO BE

TRAVELING WITH THE SUN GOD
AMONGST THE STARS.

WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN?

Man: THE IDEA OF GODS COMING
FROM THE SKY IS --

IS NOT UNIQUE -- ALL THE ANCIENT
CULTURES HAVE THAT.

BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING
IS THAT, AS YOU DIG INTO THEM,

WHAT YOU SEE IS THAT

ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT LEGENDS
OF THESE GODS

THAT COME FROM THE SKY,

THEY SEEM TO COME IN,

NOT LIKE DESCENDING AS ANGELS,

BUT ACTUALLY COMING
ON PHYSICAL CRAFT,

THINGS THAT ARE DESCRIBED
AS FLAMING SHIELDS

OR DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROCKETS.

Narrator:
IN THE SETI TEMPLE,

OSIRIS IS COMMONLY DEPICTED
AS A PHARAOH

WITH A STRIKING
PHYSICAL COMPLEXION.

Man: OSIRIS IS FREQUENTLY
DEPICTED WITH GREEN SKIN.

AND THIS APPEARS
TO BE A REPRESENTATION

OF HIS EXISTENCE
AFTER HIS DEATH,

THAT HIS SKIN HAS TURNED GREEN,

THAT HE'S THE DEAD
AND RESURRECTED OSIRIS.

AND, FREQUENTLY,
HE'S DEPICTED ON HIS THRONE

WITH VARIOUS SCEPTERS

AND VARIOUS INSTRUMENTALITIES

THAT HE APPEARS
TO BE WIELDING.

Narrator: STRANGELY,
DEPICTIONS OF OSIRIS

ARE EERILY SIMILAR TO KING TUT

AND HIS ROYAL PARENTS,
AKHENATEN AND NEFERTITI.

DO SUCH SIMILAR PHYSICAL
TRAITS LEND CREDENCE

TO THE THEORY SUGGESTED

BY UFO RESEARCHERS THAT OSIRIS

AND THE EGYPTIAN ROYAL FAMILY

ARE OF THE SAME RACE
OF ALIEN BEINGS?

OR DID OSIRIS BREED
WITH EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTORS

AND PASS ON ALIEN
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS?

Man:
THERE'S THIS DEEP CONNECTION

BETWEEN EGYPT AND THE SKY
AND SPACE AND ALIENS.

AND YOU COULD ARGUE THAT,
LIKE, OSIRIS WAS,

IN FACT, AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL.

THESE ANCIENT GODS
THAT CAME AND INTERACTED

WITH THE PHARAOHS,

IS THERE SOME KIND
OF GENETIC MANIPULATION

GOING ON TO MAKE THESE DEMIGODS?

IF SO, WHAT WOULD BE
THE PURPOSE OF CREATING

A RULING CLASS

TO BUILD THEIR TEMPLES
AND THEIR PYRAMIDS?

FOR WHAT REASON IS UNKNOWN.

Narrator:
FOR UFO EXPERTS,

THE STRANGE SKULLS DEPICTED

IN THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CULTURE

ARE A CLEAR INDICATION
OF PHYSICAL INTERACTION

BETWEEN EGYPT'S ROYALS AND UFOs.

BUT WHAT GETS EVEN
MORE INTERESTING IS

WHEN YOU TRAVEL
OVER 7,000 MILES,

HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD,

TO DISCOVERIES MADE NEARLY

90 YEARS AGO
IN PARACAS, PERU.

HERE, IN 1928,

IN AN ANCIENT GRAVEYARD,

ARCHAEOLOGISTS MAKE
A SHOCKING DISCOVERY,

ONE THAT MAY FOREVER CHANGE

HOW WE LOOK AT OUR ANCESTORS

AND OUR ORIGINS.

THE ELONGATED SKULLS
ARE BELIEVED

TO BE AT LEAST
3,300 YEARS OLD,

ABOUT THE SAME AGE
AS KING TUTANKHAMUN'S MUMMY.

SO CRANIAL SHAPING
OR CRANIAL DEFORMATION

IS VERY COMMON
IN ANCIENT CULTURES,

IN ANCIENT EGYPT, ANCIENT PERU
FOR THE INCA AND THE MAYA.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SEE

IN MANY DIFFERENT
ANCIENT CULTURES

AS A WAY, AS A MARK
FOR THE ELITE.

Man: MANY CULTURES HAVE HAD

A TRADITION OF BINDING
THE HEAD OF AN INFANT.

AND THIS PRODUCES THESE
ELONGATED SKULLS THAT WE SEE.

I THINK WE HAVE ALWAYS
BELIEVED THAT THE BRAIN,

THAT'S INEXTRICABLY LINKED
WITH INTELLIGENCE --

SO ENLARGING THE HEAD
MIGHT BE AN ATTEMPT

TO PRODUCE SOMEBODY
WHO IS SMARTER.

Woman: EVEN WITH SKULL-BINDING
TECHNIQUES

THAT WE SEE SOMETIMES
IN ANCIENT CULTURES,

YOU STILL CAN'T CHANGE
THE VOLUME OF THE HEAD.

Narrator:
HOWEVER, THE PARACAS SKULLS

HAVE VERY UNUSUAL CRANIUMS.

Man: THESE PARACAS, PERU SKULLS,

THEY'RE ALSO 25 PERCENT LARGER

AND 60 PERCENT HEAVIER
THAN THE AVERAGE HUMAN SKULL.

NOW, THAT PUTS THEM IN
AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CLASS.

Narrator: IN 2014, PRELIMINARY
DNA TESTING

ON THE SKULLS WAS PERFORMED.

THE RESULTS PROVED
HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL

WHEN IT WAS DETERMINED
THAT SOME OF THE SKULLS

HAVE A UNIQUE DNA PATTERN

THAT SCIENTISTS ARE
AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN.

Man: DNA TESTING IN 2014

SHOWED THAT THESE SKULLS
HAVE MITOCHONDRIAL DNA

THAT IS UNRELATED
TO HUMAN BEINGS

OR ANY OTHER
MAJOR PRIMATE OR ANIMAL.

WITH THE RECENT DNA TESTING
ON THESE SKULLS

THAT SHOWS THAT
THEY'RE NOT HUMAN,

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT
THEY'RE EXTRATERRESTRIAL.

AND THEY'RE NOT
FROM THIS PLANET.

Narrator: MORE RECENTLY,

A SECOND ROUND
OF TESTING PROVES

JUST AS CONTENTIOUS.

Man: EVEN MORE BIZARRELY,
THEY FOUND

THAT THE SKULLS
WERE OF MIDDLE EASTERN

ORIGIN WHICH WOULD, AGAIN,
GO BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPT.

HOW DID THEY END UP IN PERU?

NOBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER
TO THAT BECAUSE,

ACCORDING TO THE HISTORY BOOKS,

THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION,

NO TRAVELING BETWEEN
THESE TWO CONTINENTS.

Narrator:
FOR UFO INVESTIGATORS,

THE EVIDENCE OF ELONGATED SKULLS

AND THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL DAGGER
CLEARLY INDICATES CONTACT

WITH UFOs IN THE DISTANT PAST.

AND THEY SAY THERE ARE
MORE RECENT EXAMPLES,

THE CONTINUOUS, STEADY DRUMBEAT
SUPPORTING THE IDEA

OF CONTACT THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

FURTHER EXAMPLES CAN BE FOUND

HIDDEN SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS

AND STUDIED ARTWORK
OF THE RENAISSANCE.

Narrator: UFO EXPERTS BELIEVE
THE ROYAL BLOODLINE

OF EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS

AND ELONGATED SKULLS
FOUND IN PERU

MAY WELL HAVE EXPOSED THE TRUTH

OF HUMAN INTERACTION WITH UFOs.

FLASH FORWARD
TO THE RENAISSANCE,

A PERIOD IN EUROPEAN HISTORY

FROM THE 14th
TO THE 17th CENTURY,

WHERE INVESTIGATORS SUSPECT
A CLOSER LOOK

AT SOME OF MANKIND'S
MOST REVERED ARTWORK

MAY REVEAL FURTHER SECRETS
OF UFO CONTACT

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Man: THE RENAISSANCE
WAS AN EXPLOSION

OF CREATIVITY AND OF THOUGHT.

IN MANY WAYS,
IT WAS A REACTION

AGAINST THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

AND IT WAS A PERIOD
WHICH BEGAN TO SEE

THEIR AUTHORITY DECLINE
SOMEWHAT.

Man: PEOPLE WERE THINKING
FOR THEMSELVES,

CHALLENGING THE ORTHODOXY,
UH, THE PARTY LINE,

A VERY HUMAN THING.

EGOS GOT INVOLVED.

AND THE CHURCH WAS PUT
ON THE DEFENSIVE.

Man: MANY OF THESE NEW IDEAS

WERE EXTREMELY CHALLENGING
TO THE CHURCH.

AND THEY FELT THAT
THEY HAD TO FIGHT BACK

AGAINST THIS FOR FEAR

THAT IT WOULD ERODE
THEIR AUTHORITY.

Narrator: IN AN EFFORT TO
PRESERVE ITS DOMINANCE,

THE CHURCH IMPOSED STRICT RULES
AND HARSH PUNISHMENT

FOR THOSE INTERESTED
IN SCIENTIFIC LEARNING

AND NEW IDEAS
ABOUT THE KNOWN UNIVERSE.

THE CATHOLICS
HAD ALSO IMPOSED VERY,

VERY STRICT RULES

AGAINST SCIENTIFIC LEARNING
AND SCIENCE IN GENERAL.

THEY DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE
LIKE GALILEO TO TELL US

THAT THE, UH, EARTH
REVOLVED AROUND THE SUN

AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Man: THE CHURCH'S REACTION
TO THAT KIND OF --

OF OVERVIEW OF THE RENAISSANCE

WAS BRUTAL AND SWIFT.

PEOPLE BURNED AT THE STAKE
FOR SUGGESTING

THAT THERE MAY BE LIFE ELSEWHERE

BECAUSE THEY WERE
LOSING THEIR INFLUENCE.

AND THEY WERE LOSING
THEIR CONTROL.

Man: IT'S A FACT THAT THE CHURCH
OF THE MIDDLE AGES

WOULD HAVE YOU PUT TO DEATH

IF YOU PUT FORTH A THEOLOGY

THAT WAS IN CONTRADICTION

TO WHAT THEY STATED WAS
THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE.

IN FACT, UH,
IN THE 16th CENTURY,

THEY BURNED A MAN
NAMED GIORDANO BRUNO ALIVE

AT THE STAKE FOR, UH,

SUGGESTING THAT THERE WAS LIFE
BEYOND PLANET EARTH,

LIFE JUST LIKE OURS.

AND THEY KILLED HIM.

Narrator: STILL, THE RENAISSANCE
SAW AN EXPLOSION

IN MAN'S KNOWLEDGE
OF THE NATURAL WORLD.

Man: THIS WAS THE BEGINNING
OF WHAT EVENTUALLY

BECAME THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

WHERE SCIENCE BEGAN
TO DISPLACE RELIGION

AS OUR WAY OF EXPLAINING
OUR POSITION IN THE COSMOS.

Narrator: BUT WAS THIS GIANT
LEAP FORWARD

SIMPLY THE RESULT OF MAN'S
GROWING INTELLECT?

OR IS THERE MORE TO THE STORY?

IN SUCH A HOSTILE CLIMATE,

IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIND,

IN SOME WORKS OF ART
FROM THE RENAISSANCE,

HINTS OF UFO CONNECTIONS
OR AT LEAST CLUES

TO THINGS THAT POINT
BEYOND THE KNOWN WORLD?

ONE SUCH PAINTING CALLED
"THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST,"

CREATED BY AERT DE GELDER,

DEPICTS THE BIBLICAL SCENE
WHERE JOHN THE BAPTIST

IS BAPTIZING JESUS
IN THE RIVER JORDAN.

IN "THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST,"
CLEARLY,

INSTEAD OF SEEING
SOME SORT OF SPIRITUAL

BEING AS YOU WOULD EXPECT,

IN THE PAINTING, THERE IS A --

A SPHERICAL-TYPE OBJECT
EMITTING RAYS DOWN TO CHRIST.

WHAT IS THIS OBJECT?

I MEAN, IT'S NOT A CLOUD.

IT'S NOT THE SUN.
IT'S NOT GOD'S FACE.

IT'S A DISC-SHAPED OBJECT.

AND THERE'S REALLY
NO DISPUTING THAT.

IT APPEARS TO BE SAYING THAT
JOHN THE BAPTIST'S INSPIRATION,

AS WELL AS JESUS' INSPIRATION,

CAME FROM SOMEBODY
ON BOARD THESE CRAFT.

THE QUESTION IS,
HOW DO THESE THINGS END UP

IN THESE RENAISSANCE PAINTINGS?

WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO TELL US?

Narrator: EVIDENCE
OF UNORTHODOX KNOWLEDGE,

SECRETLY EMBEDDED
IN RENAISSANCE ARTWORK,

ACCORDING TO UFO EXPERTS,

CAN BE FOUND HIDDEN IN

"THE MADONNA
WITH SAINT GIOVANNINO,"

COMPLETED IN THE 15TH CENTURY.

Man: IN THE BACKGROUND OF
THE VIRGIN MARY, IT JUST LOOK --

LOOKS LIKE A CRAFT IN THE SKY.

AND, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU SEE,
IN THE BACKGROUND,

THERE'S A MAN STARING UP AT IT

JUST LIKE ANYONE SEEING A UFO

WOULD STARE UP AT A UFO.

AND, NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT SO IS HIS DOG.

NOW, WHY WOULD THAT BE
IN A PAINTING FROM THIS ERA

UNLESS SOMEBODY'S
SEEN IT THEMSELVES?

THEY WERE LEAVING CLUES

FOR US IN THE FUTURE
OF WHAT THEY WERE SEEING

AND WHAT WAS NOT
ACCEPTED AT THE TIME.

Narrator: EXPERTS SAY FURTHER
EVIDENCE OF UFO INTERACTION

WITH HUMANKIND CAN ALSO BE FOUND

IN KOSOVO, YUGOSLAVIA,

IN A MEDIEVAL MONASTERY
WHERE A FRESCO ENTITLED,

"THE CRUCIFIXION,"
PAINTED IN 1350,

HANGS ABOVE THE ALTAR.

Man: YOU SEE THESE OBJECTS
IN THE SKY.

AND THEY DO LOOK
SOMETHING LIKE, UH,

AN AERIAL VEHICLE
WITH SOMEBODY IN THEM.

MAYBE IT'S JUST
A REPRESENTATION OF A --

A STAR OR A COMET.

BUT IT MIGHT REPRESENT
A LITERAL TRUTH.

IT MAY BE THAT THAT'S
WHAT THE ARTIST SAW.

Man: THESE CRAFT LOOK LIKE

THEY'RE BEING PILOTED
WITH CONTROLS

AND HAVE DIRECTION.

THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR
TO EACH OTHER.

HOW COULD PEOPLE OF THAT
TIME DEPICT SUCH CRAFT

IF THEY DIDN'T EXIST?

OR MAYBE THEY DID.

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO RELIGIOUS SCHOLARS,

SUCH IMAGERY REFLECTS
THE SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH UFOs.

BUT IS THIS REALLY THE CASE?

Man: IF THERE WERE UFO SIGHTINGS
BACK IN THAT ERA, IT --

IT WOULD MAKE SENSE,
WOULDN'T IT,

THAT YOU'D WANNA BE VERY CAREFUL

ABOUT PUTTING THAT
INFORMATION OUT THERE.

UH, IT REALLY WOULD BE,

UH, UH, LITERALLY
A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

AND IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT THERE WERE

SOME BRAVE ARTISTS
OF THAT ERA,

UM, WHO WERE SEEING
THINGS IN THE SKY.

AND THEY DECIDED,
"I'M GOING TO DEPICT THEM

IN MY OWN WAY, UH,
FOR POSTERITY."

IN THE PIECE,
"MIRACLE OF THE SNOW,"

SEVERAL DIFFERENT
CYLINDRICAL-TYPE

OBJECTS ARE OBSERVED
ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS.

THESE OBJECTS ARE
FLAT ON THE BOTTOM

AND SLIGHTLY ROUNDED ON THE TOP,

WHICH ARE VERY SIMILAR
TO THE DISCS

THAT WE SEE
IN PHOTOGRAPHS TODAY.

IS THIS, PERHAPS, UH,
A FLEET OF UFOs IN THE SKY?

Man: LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE
RENAISSANCE IMAGES,

THERE ARE THOSE WHO SUGGEST
THESE ARE LITERAL UFOs.

AND PERHAPS THE ARTISTS,

MINDFUL OF THE REACTION
OF THE CHURCH,

THOUGHT THAT INCORPORATING
THESE IMAGES

SUBTLY INTO A PAINTING
AND PERHAPS SAYING,

"IT -- IT'S A REPRESENTATION
OF DIVINITY,"

IS THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN PASS
ON THIS KNOWLEDGE

OF WHAT THEY REALLY SAW

OR WHAT THEY BELIEVED
TO BE TRUE.

Narrator: IN SOME CASES,

INVESTIGATORS
SUGGEST IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE

THAT SOME ARTISTS SIMPLY
MISINTERPRETED UFO SIGHTINGS

AND GAVE THEM SPIRITUAL
SIGNIFICANCE IN THEIR PAINTINGS.

THE PAINTERS OF THAT PERIOD,
DURING THE REN--

DURING THE RENAISSANCE,

WERE CLEARLY HIDING IN PLAIN
SIGHT THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY

AND EXTRATERRESTRIAL RACES,
STAR PEOPLE.

CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL.

THOSE PAINTINGS
ARE A TESTAMENT.

IT'S EVIDENCE.

Narrator:
UFO EXPERTS CLAIM

SUCH INTERPRETATIONS SUGGEST

THAT THIS AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

MAY HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED
BY INTERACTION

WITH AN OTHERWORLDLY
PRESENCE HOVERING

AT THAT TIME
IN THE SKIES ABOVE EUROPE.

HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD,

THAT SAME ALIEN PRESENCE
MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN WITNESSED

BY THE NATIVE PEOPLE
OF NORTH AMERICA

IN AN AREA WE NOW CALL ARIZONA.

EY HAVE FOUND EVIDENCE

THROUGHOUT HISTORY OF CONTACT

WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITORS.

NOW, INVESTIGATORS
ARE FOLLOWING

THE TRAIL OF CLUES
TO NORTH AMERICA,

SPECIFICALLY ARIZONA,

WHERE EARLY NATIVE PEOPLE
MAY HAVE WITNESSED

WHAT THEY REFER
TO AS SKY BEINGS.

BUT, STRANGELY, THE CONNECTION
WAS ONLY REVEALED RECENTLY,

ON MARCH 13, 1997,
8:30 P.M. LOCAL TIME,

WHEN, ARGUABLY,
THE MOST COMPELLING

UFO EVENT IN HISTORY OCCURS.

Man:
WHAT WE CALL THE PHOENIX LIGHTS,

IN FACT,
STARTED IN HENDERSON, NEVADA.

WITNESSES THERE SAW AN OBJECT
THAT WAS CLEARLY GOING SOUTH.

IT WENT ALL THROUGH
THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

THERE WERE, I THINK,
HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES

WHO'D REPORTED THIS
GOING SOUTH DOWN THE STATE.

Man:
PEOPLE WITNESSED THIS CRAFT

GO COMPLETELY OVER
THEIR HEADS VERY, VERY SLOWLY.

THIS CRAFT WAS V-SHAPED

AND HAD MULTIPLE LIGHTS
LONG THE EDGE.

THESE LIGHTS COULD BE LIGHTS.

OR THEY COULD BY
SOME KIND OF PROPULSION.

WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE,

IT WAS LARGE, SILENT
AND INTIMIDATING.

Man:
THE PHOENIX LIGHTS INVOLVED,

UH, MULTIPLE WITNESS

SIGHTINGS OVER A WIDE
GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

IN ARIZONA GOING PRETTY MUCH
ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TUCSON.

SOME WITNESSES THOUGHT THIS WAS

A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT OBJECTS
FLYING IN FORMATION.

BUT OTHERS SAID, NO,
THESE WERE LIGHTS

ON THE UNDERSIDE
OF ONE SINGLE MASSIVE CRAFT.

Narrator: AS THE ENORMOUS OBJECT
APPEARS OVER PHOENIX,

PHONE CALLS FLOOD INTO AREA
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND NEWS MEDIA.

ONE EYEWITNESS,
DR. LYNNE KITEI,

RECALLS HER EXPERIENCE VIVIDLY.

ONE WALL OF OUR BEDROOM
IS A WINDOW.

AND WE LIVE HIGH
ON THE MOUNTAIN

AND HAVE A PANORAMIC VIEW
OF THE CITY SKYLINES.

WHEN MY HUSBAND FIRST
CALLED ME TO THE WINDOW

TO SEE THESE ORBS

IN A TRIANGLE FORMATION,
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

"IF I DON'T GET A PICTURE
OF THIS,

NO ONE'S GONNA BELIEVE IT."

SO I GO TO MY CLOSET TO GRAB
A 35-MILLIMETER CAMERA.

AND I STEPPED OUT
ON THE BALCONY,

GOT A QUICK PICTURE OF THE --

THE ORBS AND NOTICED
IMMEDIATELY AN EERIE SILENCE

AS IF TIME HAD STOPPED.
IT WAS JUST BIZARRE.

Narrator:
IN ADDITION TO STILLS,

DR. KITEI ALSO CAPTURES

A VIDEO OF THE PHOENIX LIGHTS

WHILE THEY ARE DIRECTLY
OVER THE CITY.

Woman:
AFTER HAVING AN EXPERIENCE,

IT'S JUST MIND-BOGGLING
IN AND OF ITSELF.

AND CAPTURING
35-MILLIMETER PHOTOGRAPHS

OF THESE ANOMALOUS
AERIAL PHENOMENA,

HAVING THOUSANDS SEEING
THE SAME THING

THAT I WAS WITNESSING
AND DOCUMENTING ON FILM,

I FELT OBLIGED TO SHARE

AND LET PEOPLE DECIDE
FOR THEMSELVES.

Man: THERE'S THIS KIND
OF CLICHED IDEA

THAT UFO SIGHTINGS HAPPEN

ON THE LONELY
COUNTRY ROAD LATE AT NIGHT.

AND PEOPLE WILL SAY, WELL,

WHY DON'T THEY EVER FLY
DIRECTLY OVER A CITY?

WITH THE PHOENIX LIGHTS,
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

I HAD ONE PERSON TELL ME THAT,
ALMOST LITERALLY,

THE STARS SEEMED TO BE
GOING OUT ONE BY ONE.

AND HE LOOKED UP.
AND THEN HE REALIZED

THE REASON THEY WERE GOING OUT
WAS THIS MASSIVE CRAFT

WAS JUST PASSING BETWEEN THEM.

AND IT WAS SO BIG,

IT WAS LIKE A FOOTBALL FIELD
PASSING OVERHEAD.

Woman: IT WAS SO UNNERVING
THAT I CALLED AROUND,

FOUND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

AT SKY HARBOR
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

WHO SAW THE SAME THING.

THEY LOOKED ON RADAR,
DIDN'T SHOW UP ON RADAR.

THEY TOOK THEIR
BINOCULARS TO LOOK.

AND, IN THEIR OWN WORDS,
THEY SAW SEVEN POINTS OF LIGHT,

TOTALLY EQUIDISTANT
FROM EACH OTHER,

MASSIVE SPAN,
OVER A MILE WIDE,

AND SAID THAT THE WHOLE THING

TURNED AS A UNIT
AGAINST THE WIND

AND THEN ELEVATED SLOWLY
AND MOVED BEHIND SOUTH MOUNTAIN.

Narrator: THAT EVENING,

DESCRIPTIONS OF
THE UNIDENTIFIABLE OBJECT

ARE REPORTED IN
A 300-MILE CORRIDOR

FROM THE NEVADA STATE LINE

THROUGH PHOENIX TO
THE NORTHERN EDGE OF TUCSON.

IN THE DAYS TO FOLLOW,

THERE WAS SUCH A DEMAND
FOR ANSWERS

THAT THEN-ARIZONA GOVERNOR

FIFE SYMINGTON RESPONDS
IN A PRESS CONFERENCE.

Man: I'VE DISCUSSED THIS WITH
THE FORMER GOVERNOR,

FIFE SYMINGTON --
HE WAS A QUITE CONCERNED.

THERE WAS ALMOST A STATE
OF HYSTERIA TAKING HOLD.

SO HE JUST MADE A JOKE ABOUT IT,
A PRESS CONFERENCE.

HE GOT HIS CHIEF OF STAFF
TO DRESS UP IN AN ALIEN SUIT.

Man: AT THE TIME, HE SAID HIS
JOB WAS TO MINIMIZE PANIC.

AND THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY

TO RIDICULE THE PHENOMENON,

TO JOKE ABOUT IT AND TO KIND
OF BRUSH IT ASIDE.

Narrator: THE OFFICIAL
GOVERNMENT EXPLANATION

FOR THE STRANGE OBJECT
IN THE NIGHT SKY

IS EVENTUALLY PRESENTED
BY THE U.S. AIR FORCE.

Man: IT WAS THE MILITARY WHO
FIRST CAME UP WITH

THE EXPLANATION THAT THIS WAS
JUST FLARES

DROPPED FROM AIRCRAFT

ON THEIR WAY
TO BARRY GOLDWATER RANGE.

BUT THE EXPLANATION
DIDN'T STACK UP.

THE FLARES WERE MUCH LATER.

AND, INDEED, SOME SUGGESTED
THE AIR FORCE

HAD DELIBERATELY SCRAMBLED JETS

TO DROP FLARES

SO THAT THIS COULD THEN BE USED
AS A DEBUNKING EXERCISE.

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO UFO RESEARCHERS,

THE MILITARY ATTEMPTED
TO CONFUSE

IN THE MINDS OF THE POPULATION

WHAT THEY HAD WITNESSED
EARLIER THAT EVENING

BY DROPPING FLARES
IN A PATTERN

THAT APPEARED TO BE SIMILAR
TO THE UFO LIGHTS

SEEN IN THE PHOENIX SKY.

Man: THE RESIDENTS OF PHOENIX
HAVE SEEN FLARES

AT THE MILITARY BASES
AROUND THERE MANY, MANY TIMES.

THEY'RE USED TO THAT.
FLARES DON'T LAST THAT LONG.

THEY DON'T HAVE
THAT KIND OF PATTERN

THAT STAYS TOGETHER AS IT MOVES.

Narrator: FOR RESEARCHERS,

THE EVENT IS
A WATERSHED MOMENT

IN THE FIELD OF UFO STUDY.

ONE LASTING QUESTION,
HOWEVER, CONCERNS

THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE.

WHY DID THEY ATTEMPT
TO DIVERT ATTENTION

WITH SUCH A COVER-UP STORY?

THERE IS NO DOUBT
IN MY MIND

THAT THERE ARE AGENCIES
WITHIN THE UNITED STATES

GOVERNMENT THAT KNOW THE TRUTH,

THE FULL TRUTH, ABOUT UFOs.

THERE WAS ONE MEMBER
OF THE PHOENIX CITY COUNCIL

NAMED FRANCES BARWOOD

WHOSE CAREER WAS DESTROYED
BY HER INSISTENCE

ON LOOKING INTO
THE PHOENIX LIGHTS.

AND, AS SHE SAID LATER,

SHE RECEIVED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT

OF POLITICAL AND,
I BELIEVE,

SHE SAID MILITARY PRESSURE

FOR HER TO STAND DOWN
FROM LOOKING INTO THIS.

AND SHE WAS ESSENTIALLY
RUN OUT OF POLITICS

IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH
OF HER INQUIRY INTO THIS.

Narrator: STILL, THE CONTROVERSY
OVER THE PHOENIX LIGHTS

RAGES FOR YEARS.

THEN, A DECADE LATER,
ON MARCH 23, 2007,

BREAKING NEWS REPORTS
THE FORMER

ARIZONA GOVERNOR,
FIFE SYMINGTON,

REVERSES HIMSELF
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.

Man: HE CONFESSED THAT,
NOT ONLY DID HE BELIEVE

THAT THE UFO INCIDENT
ACTUALLY HAPPENED,

BUT HE SAID THAT
HE HAD SEEN IT, TOO.

HE'S A FORMER PILOT.
AND HE SAYS,

"LOOK, I KNOW AIRCRAFT
WHEN I SEE THEM.

AND I KNOW FLARES
WHEN I SEE THEM.

AND THIS WAS NOT THAT."

Man: THE PHOENIX LIGHTS CASE,
IT REMAINS ONE OF THE LARGEST

COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINED MASS UFO

SIGHTINGS IN NOT ONLY U.S.
HISTORY BUT IN WORLD HISTORY.

IT'S A HUGE CASE.

AND NOBODY REALLY KNOWS
WHAT THEY ARE.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN
A SUFFICIENT EXPLANATION

FOR EXACTLY WHAT
THE PHOENIX LIGHTS WERE.

Narrator: IF THE PHOENIX LIGHTS
REALLY WERE ALIEN SPACECRAFT,

AS UFO EXPERTS BELIEVE,
WHY ARE THEY HERE?

AND WHAT COULD EXPLAIN
SUCH EVENTS

IN THE SKIES OVER ARIZONA?

COULD THESE MODERN SIGHTINGS
BE CONNECTED TO POSSIBLE

UFO CONTACT
SEEN THROUGH HISTORY?

PERHAPS FURTHER EVIDENCE

MAY BE FOUND
IN THE NEARBY MOUNTAINS

WHERE LOCAL LEGENDS SPEAK

OF A CENTURIES-LONG RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN NATIVE AMERICANS
AND SKY BEINGS.

OVERING

WHAT MOST
UFO RESEARCHERS REGARD

AS POSSIBLE EVIDENCE

OF UFO CONTACT
WITH HUMANS

THROUGHOUT HISTORY,

INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE
THE EVENTS OF MARCH, 1997,

KNOWN AS THE PHOENIX LIGHTS,

POINT TO A HISTORIC WORLDWIDE

LINK BETWEEN MODERN
AND ANCIENT CULTURES AND UFOs.

AND, IN PHOENIX,
THE MYSTERIOUS

SIGHTINGS CONTINUE
FOR YEARS TO COME.

Man: WHILE THE PHOENIX LIGHTS
IN 1997 ARE PERHAPS

THE BEST-KNOWN
SIGHTINGS FROM ARIZONA,

THERE WERE ALSO
SIGHTINGS IN 2007,

2008, AND, IN FACT,
OTHER OCCASIONS, TOO.

THE QUESTION ARISES,

WHY SHOULD ARIZONA BE
SUCH A HOT SPOT

FOR THIS UFO ACTIVITY?

Narrator: ON EACH OCCASION,

WITNESSES SAY THE LIGHTS
SEEM TO TRAVEL

A SIMILAR PATH
FROM HENDERSON, NEVADA,

SOUTH THROUGH PHOENIX,
TOWARD TUCSON.

BUT WHY WOULD UFOs APPEAR
TO BE PATROLLING

THE SAME CORRIDOR
OF ARIZONA SKIES?

INVESTIGATORS LOOK FOR ANSWERS
IN THE REGION'S MYSTERIOUS

CONNECTION TO THE ANCIENT
PUEBLO PEOPLE, IN PARTICULAR,

THE NATIVE AMERICAN HOPI.

Man: MANY PLACES WHERE STRANGE
LIGHTS HAVE BEEN SEEN,

OR STRANGE CRAFT,

TOOK PLACE IN ARIZONA

OVER LAND OF THE TRIBES

OF THAT AREA AND ARE SACRED.

Man: IN THIS AREA,
THERE'S A VERY LARGE

NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATION,

INCLUDING THE HOPI
AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.

AND, OF COURSE,
THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE

A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP

WITH THE GREAT SPIRIT
AND THE STAR PEOPLE.

Man:
MIGRATION INTO THE NEW WORLD

REALLY BEGAN AROUND
15,000 YEARS AGO.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS
HAVE FOUND EVIDENCE

OF PEOPLE LIVING
IN SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES

DATING TO ROUGHLY
12,000 YEARS AGO.

Narrator: LIKE THE EVIDENCE
OF POSSIBLE CONTACT

UNCOVERED IN ANCIENT
EGYPT AND PERU,

ANCIENT ARTIFACTS FOUND
IN THE MOUNTAINS

OF ARIZONA BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS

MAY CONNECT
THE EARLY NATIVE PEOPLE

TO OTHERWORLDLY BEINGS.

HERE, THE EVIDENCE IS FOUND
IN MYSTERIOUS PETROGLYPHS,

OR PICTURES ETCHED
ON STONE CANYON WALLS.

Man: THERE ARE PETROGLYPHS
ALL OVER THE AREA

THAT WERE CARVED BY
THE ANCIENT INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

OF THE REGIONS
THAT SHOW, CLEARLY,

OBJECTS THAT APPEAR
TO BE FLYING DISCS

OR FLYING SAUCERS OF SOME KIND.

THEY SHOW BEINGS
THAT ARE CALLED THE STAR PEOPLE

THAT BEAR A STRONG RESEMBLANCE

TO THE MODERN-DAY
GREY ALIENS

THAT WE SEE TODAY.

AND YOU HAVE TO GO
TO THE ACTUAL INDIAN LEGENDS

TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THEM.

AND WHAT THEY SAY IS THAT
THESE ARE THE STAR PEOPLE.

THESE PETROGLYPHS THAT
DEPICT BEINGS,

ARE THEY PRIESTS?

ARE THEY OTHER TYPES OF BEINGS?

WE DON'T REALLY KNOW.
THEY'RE MYSTERIOUS.

THEY GO BACK CENTURIES.

BUT IT IS TRUE
THAT NATIONS THEMSELVES HAD

A LONG HISTORY
OF TALKING

ABOUT THEIR CONNECTION
TO THESE SKY BEINGS,

THAT THEY WERE CREATED BY

OR WERE TAUGHT
BY THESE SKY BEINGS.

Man: PEOPLE SAY THEY'RE DOODLES
OR INDIAN GRAFFITI.

IN MY EYES, THEY'RE TRYING
TO DEPICT SOMETHING

THEY'D ACTUALLY SEEN,

SOMETHING OTHERWORLDLY,
TO A FUTURE GENERATION.

THE PETROGLYPHS, THEY BASICALLY
TELL THE STORY OF OUR PEOPLE.

THE IMAGES ARE
THE TEACHERS OF OUR PEOPLE.

Narrator: IF THESE DEPICTIONS
ARE EVIDENCE

OF HUMAN INTERACTION
WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS

IN THE DISTANT PAST,
COULD THEY REALLY BE CONNECTED

TO SIGHTINGS
OF UFOs MORE RECENTLY?

WHEN THE PHOENIX LIGHTS
WERE SEEN

IN THE SOUTHWESTERN SKY
OVER THE CITY,

THEY WERE TRAVELING
OVER THE ESTRELLA MOUNTAINS.

IN THE SHADOW OF THESE MOUNTAINS

LIES THE GILA RIVER
INDIAN RESERVATION,

HOME OF THE NATIVE PEOPLE
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Man: NATIVE PEOPLES OF
THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST

HAVE TALKED ABOUT SEEING UFOs
IN THE SKY FOR CENTURIES.

THE MOUNTAINS CALLED
THE ESTRELLA MOUNTAINS,

WHICH MEANS STAR MOUNTAINS,

THE WORD COMES FROM,
UH, WHEN THE --

THE SPANISH ENTERED THAT AREA.

THEY LEARNED,
FROM THE LOCAL PEOPLE,

THAT THIS IS WHERE THE STAR
BEINGS WOULD COME FROM.

IT SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT

LIKE THEY'RE DESCRIBING
KIND OF A PLACE

OR MAYBE A PORTAL WHERE
THEY'RE COMING FROM TO MEET

WITH THE LOCAL PEOPLE.

Man: THE ESTRELLA MOUNTAINS,
WE BELIEVE, ARE SACRED,

ARE PORTALS TO OTHER DIMENSIONS.

OUR PEOPLE WERE GOING THERE

AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION
WITH THE TEACHERS.

Man: THE HOPI HAVE A LONG
TRADITION OF BELIEF.

THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY
ORIGINALLY CAME FROM THE STARS

AND THAT, ONE DAY, PERHAPS,
THEY WILL GO BACK TO THE STARS.

DOES THIS MEAN
THAT THE HOPI AND OTHER TRIBES

IN THAT AREA WERE INTERACTING
WITH THESE VISITORS

AND PERHAPS HAVE BEEN
FOR MILLENNIA?

IT BLEW ME AWAY TO LEARN
THAT NATIVE CULTURES BELIEVE

THAT THESE PHENOMENA
ARE OTHER INTELLIGENCES

COMING TO GIVE THEM GUIDANCE,
INSPIRATION AND KNOWLEDGE.

SO, WHEN I NOTICED THESE
PHENOMENA, I CALLED THEM UP.

AND I SAID, "DID ANYBODY SEE
STRANGE LIGHTS ON MARCH 13TH?"

AND THEY STARTED TO GIGGLE.
AND THEY SAID, "ARE YOU KIDDING?

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING UP
AT THEM FOR CENTURIES."

THEY CALL THEM
SKY PEOPLE, LIGHT BEINGS.

IT'S PART OF THEIR CULTURE.

AND THEY EMBRACE
THESE PHENOMENA.

Narrator: LIKE THE ANCIENT
EGYPTIAN CONNECTION

TO THE SUN GOD,
HOPI LEGENDS TELL OF A FUTURE

WHERE THE TRIBE'S FAITHFUL
WILL BE LIFTED

BY THEIR SO-CALLED GODS
TO ANOTHER WORLD

ON WHAT THEY CALL
THE DAY OF PURIFICATION.

WE BELIEVE THAT THERE'S GONNA
BE A DAY OF PURIFICATION.

THE PEOPLE WHO STAY TRUE
AND BELIEVE IN OUR TEACHINGS

AND OUR WAYS ARE THE ONES

THAT ARE GONNA MAKE IT
INTO THE NEXT WORLD.

Woman:
WHAT IS THIS OTHER PLACE?

IS IT ANOTHER PLANET?
WE DON'T KNOW.

BUT IT IS VERY CURIOUS THAT,

NOT ONLY IN THE NATIVE
AMERICAN CULTURE,

BUT IN MANY OTHER RELIGIONS,

YOU SEE THE SAME TYPE OF THING.

THERE'S A MAJOR DESTRUCTION
ON PLANET EARTH.

AND WE ARE GOING
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE
THIS OTHER PLACE IS.

BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
NO DOUBT THAT IT'S OTHERWORLDLY.

Man:
IN THE HOPI COSMOLOGY,

THERE'S THE GREAT JUDGMENT

IF WE'RE STILL AROUND
WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

BUT, AT THE END OF THAT,

WHAT'S HOPEFUL IS THAT
HUMANKIND GETS IT,

THAT IT USHERS
IN A NEW AGE OF HARMONY.

Narrator:
IS IT POSSIBLE THE HOPI

AND OTHER PUEBLO PEOPLE
ARE WATCHING

AND WAITING FOR UFOs

THAT WILL TAKE THEM
TO THE HOME OF THEIR ANCESTORS?

COULD THE PHOENIX LIGHTS
REALLY BE SPACECRAFT

LIKE THOSE DEPICTED
IN THE MIDDLE AGES?

AND COULD THE SKY BEINGS
THAT VISITED THE EARLY

HOPI BE THE SAME ENTITIES
THAT ONCE VISITED ANCIENT EGYPT?

UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE IT'S NOT
ONLY POSSIBLE BUT VERY LIKELY.

WE TEND TO THINK OF THE UFO
PHENOMENON AS SOMETHING MODERN.

BUT, WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME
OF THESE ANCIENT MYSTERIES,

WHETHER IT'S STRANGE IMAGES
IN CAVE DRAWINGS,

PETROGLYPHS,
RENAISSANCE ARTWORK,

IT'S INTRIGUING TO DRAW
THOSE PARALLELS AND SAY,

"MAYBE WHATEVER'S GOING
ON HAS BEEN GOING ON

FOR A VERY LONG TIME."

Narrator:
WILL WE DISCOVER FURTHER CLUES

ABOUT MAN'S CONTACT

AND POSSIBLE INTERACTION
WITH OTHERWORLDLY BEINGS?

AND, IF SO, WHAT ELSE
WILL WE FIND?

WHAT OTHER EVIDENCE
WILL BE REVEALED?

MAYBE, ONE DAY, WE MIGHT
DISCOVER A PROFOUND TRUTH

ABOUT MAN
AND OUR POSSIBLE CONTACT

WITH UFOs.
