Starting point is 00:00:01 An incredible eyewitness account of unidentified flying objects. I saw it wasn't just one light, was a series of lights. A sensational report of an alien crash. They have the debris out here in the hangar area. Ancient depictions of extraterrestrial visitation. I'm arguing that what we are looking at here is someone visiting from the sky. For more than a decade, ancient aliens. has followed investigators across the globe as they've gone directly to the sites where unusual,
Starting point is 00:00:38 unexpected, and unexplained incidents have been reported. Now, we take a look back at the most extraordinary encounters, encounters that, according to ancient astronaut theorists, reveal overwhelming evidence of an extraterrestrial presence On Earth. There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promise of truth. It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. The evidence is all around us.
Starting point is 00:01:16 The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Zuclos. On ancient aliens, we've traveled around the world investigating extraordinary encounters with UFOs, strange beings, and other unexplainable phenomena. But make no mistake, alien encounters are not simply a modern-day occurrence. They've been happening for thousands of years. And when I visited the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, I found some of the most compelling evidence that I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Sardinia, Italy, May 2018. Ancient astronaut theorist Georgiosuclos is meeting Oak Island treasure hunter Marty Lagina to explore the island's mysterious legends and otherworldly visitors. To begin their investigation, Georgio and Marty traveled to the National Archaeological Museum in Caliari, where some of Sardinia's oldest and strangest artifacts are, on display. Featured in the museum's collection are a number of enormous stone statues, known as the giants of Monte Prama. They were first discovered in 1974 when a local farmer stumbled upon a large carved stone protruding from the ground. Archaeologists quickly took
Starting point is 00:02:50 over the site, recovering more than 5,000 broken remnants. Mainstream historians suggest the statues were carved by the Narogic people, a civilization that is believed to have inhabited the island for 2,000 years, emerging in 1800 BC and mysteriously disappearing around 200 AD. But what also makes the statue so mysterious is the strange way in which the faces are carved, not so much resembling humans, but what some might describe as robots. This is Mediterranean historical. This is Mediterranean historian Jason O'Sikeda, PhD. The giant statues found Monteprama are approximately seven and a half to eight feet tall.
Starting point is 00:03:38 You have warriors and boxers and archers. The statues himself are just noted for their size, and it's thought that they represent the neurologic people, that this is actually what we might have that looks like them. Here is Giants researcher Timothy Albarino. What I find intriguing is that the giants of Monte Prama, although they were discovered in the 1970s, were not put on display until sometime near the year 2000. And I believe that these statues simply do not conform
Starting point is 00:04:11 to the conventional archaeological narrative on the island and instead point to the reality that there was something very unusual happening on this island. This is Andrew Collins, author of Gobeckley-Tepa-Peckley-Tepa-Pey, Genesis of the Gods. at these stone figurines, they are extremely peculiar, and they give the impression of actually being giants. The strange things about the statues is that they have these very strange circular eyes that almost give them an otherworldly feel. After their visit to the museum, Giorgio and Marty meet at a nearby restaurant with archaeological tour guide Maria Paola Loi, who has offered to share with them some of Sardinia's low.
Starting point is 00:04:58 local legends. How are you? Charles, pleased to meet you. Welcome to Sardinia. Okay. Did you go to the museum? We did. Oh, yeah, tell me what you think about the finds that are displayed there.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I mean, up until about six months ago, I had no idea about these statues here. So now, when I saw these statues of the Gigante for the first time, not only that the eyes remind me of C3PO from Star Wars, but also they're all are these giant-eyed statues in Tel Azmar from the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian times. Originally, the archaeologist and also scholars who mentioned the Nurragic civilization said that these people probably arrived from Mesopotamia. So the Anunaki is...
Starting point is 00:05:49 Right. The Anunaki, the race of winged giants as described in ancient Sumerian texts and frequently depicted on the temples and icons. of ancient Babylon. There are a lot of connections between the Sardinian language and the different languages
Starting point is 00:06:08 of Mesopotamia, suggesting that Samarians did actually come to Sardinia. They would have brought with them the traditions to do with the Ananarchae, the gods of heaven and earth, which many people believe were celestial being. Might the mysterious giants of Monte Prama have been inspired by encounters with extraterrestrial visitors.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Ancient astronaut theorists not only say yes, but they believe that dozens of carved stones found scattered across Sardinia, known as Minhir's, tell the story of how these beings arrived on planet Earth. During their trip, Giorgio and Marty arranged to meet with archaeological guide Ivana Malu at the Minhir Museum in Lekoni to get an up-close look at some of these strange things.
Starting point is 00:06:57 standing stones. Ivana draws attention to the relief carving on the face of the stone, which resembles a T-shaped figure above a double-sided dagger shape. Look at the very strange circle with the spear. What do you think, Marty, what is there? I'm not sure what that is, and I'm not sure what this is either. Now, you tell me, please, what should I be seeing? It's a guy going down to going to another dimension.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Do not ask me where or which are the words. war, but is going on a trip on a journey, going from point A to point B. Whatever it really symbolizes, it was very important. This took an enormous amount of work. Just this. I mean, it's very heavy. It's done in relief, which is the hard way to do a carving. I think it's a...
Starting point is 00:07:46 What do you think that represents? We have people with two wings on each side. You know, it's almost like an early version of some type of an angel. I'm arguing that what we... that what we are looking at here is someone visiting from the sky. You know what I find beyond fascinating is this shape down here, which mainstream archaeology suggests is some type of a weapon, some type of a dagger,
Starting point is 00:08:14 which makes perfect sense. But in conjunction with this symbol right here and that one could argue that this is a representation of some type of misunderstood technology that illustrates some type of a flying craft. Fascinating. Is it possible that the imagery carved onto the Minhirs of Sardinia, as well as the stone giants of Monte Prama,
Starting point is 00:08:41 tell a story of extraterrestrial visitation in the distant past, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? And if so, could these mysterious figures be the same beings that some people believe are visiting mankind today. Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a modern-day report of a crashed UFO. When it comes to extraordinary encounters, we are living in the most exciting time, because governments all around the world are finally admitting that there are unidentified aerial phenomena that simply have no conventional explanation.
Starting point is 00:09:22 But this hasn't always been the case. And when I visited the site of a UAP report in Wales, I was completely blown away by what the government tried to cover up. Sandrislow, Wales, January 23rd, 1974. Late in the evening, this quiet rural village in the Berwyn Mountains is rocked by an enormous explosion. 14-year-old Hugh Lloyd is in his home watching television when he feels the impact and then receives call after call from his neighbors,
Starting point is 00:09:57 most claiming to have seen an incredibly bright light falling from the sky and then glowing on the mountainside. Today, Hugh Lloyd still works on his father's ranch in Sandrislow. Ancient astronaut theorist Georgiosuclos and Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the British Ministry of Defense, met up with Hugh to get his take on what really happened that night. Can you tell us your experience? Well, I was home with my two sisters and my neighbor.
Starting point is 00:10:30 We were basically watching television and it was just like a thud. And the next thing, the whole place started shaking quite violently. You know, this like an earth tremor. And then we were all a bit stunned. And the phone started ringing. We saw neighbors and things, you know, saying what the hell was at? Are you okay? You put the phone down and another neighbor with phone.
Starting point is 00:10:48 your neighbors called you to ask you if you're okay. So they pretty much had similar experiences. Oh, yes, yeah. So you're not the only one? No. And what time of evening was this? It was roughly 20 to 9? So, you know, some people have suggested that, well, it was nothing else but an earthquake.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Yeah. Which I don't subscribe to this idea, but have you had any earthquakes around here? Nothing like that, no. But at the time, they were trying to say the lights people had seen were people with, whether you call them, lamping, you know, after foxes and rapid. But you saw that light and he was much, much brighter than people lamping. And he was something almost blinding? Well, I've never seen a light like it before, and I've never seen anything like it since.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Wow. The community of Sandrislow was shaken by the mysterious event, which became known as the Berwyn Mountains incident. That night, dozens of residents called the region's emergency. line to report a bright light followed by a mysterious object seen streaking across the night sky. Curiously, approximately 30 minutes after the reports were made, a police officer arrived at the home of eyewitness Hugh Lloyd. There was a knock on the door and was a police officer there. And he said, there's been a reporter with a plane crash.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And I remember our neighbour are saying, oh, he's quite important. He's got pips on his shoulder. Right, so a senior officer, not one of the local... No, because the police turned up, I just assumed there was a plane crash, you know? A plane crash, for Nick Pope, who worked at the Ministry of Defense, and has seen the file on this incident, this is a surprising new detail. The official report only mentions a meteor and nothing about a plane. The theory initially that this was a plane crash and that this was a plane crash
Starting point is 00:12:47 that this police and military operation was a search and rescue or search and recovery, that's fine. But I mean, you know, we know where our planes are. There is 24-7 radar coverage, civilian aircraft. Even back then. Yeah, absolutely. Planes don't just drop out of the sky. And if they do, immediately everyone knows which aircraft it is.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So it seems odd. Yes. And I remember the spectator I've seen. I don't remember the exact word was, I'd like to commandeer your land over if you can to take us up there. The officer commandeered the family's truck and drove with Hugh to the crash site. Nick and Giorgio were taken on the exact same journey
Starting point is 00:13:30 that was made that night. How high is the mountain? At the very top, about 2,800 feet. You know, one thing that's tracked me is this is a pretty difficult drive. So you've got to be pretty determined to get a whole bunch of people. up here. Yes, and for what purpose, unless it's really something of importance? Yeah, this is not to be
Starting point is 00:13:54 undertaken lightly, is it? No. According to Hugh, the police inspector directed them to stop at this spot, although the inspector was allegedly not familiar with the area and seemed to have no reason for doing so. It was at this location that Hugh witnessed an incredibly bright light in the distance. There's a little clump of trees to the left up the valley as where the light was. When this light appeared,
Starting point is 00:14:24 did it seem to you as if it was an explosion? No. This was definitely very strong white light from the ground. And how long was it shining for?
Starting point is 00:14:34 No more than 15 seconds. According to Hugh, the inspector wanted to get a closer look at the mysterious light. But then received a curious command from his superiors. He asked me, can you take the vehicle where this source of light is? So we went back down that way, a quarter of a mile and turned left on the track.
Starting point is 00:14:55 And then this radio message came and said, come back at the first light. So it sounds like it was a stand down call. Yes. That spokes me till today if they were looking for a crash site, why? You know, when you were half a mile away from where we wanted to go, they were called down? Yes. This makes sense. In the days following the incident, Royal Air Force Proximates.
Starting point is 00:15:16 personnel, scientists, journalists, and UFO enthusiasts combed the surrounding land and interviewed locals at length. Curiously, the official explanation for these events provided by the Ministry of Defense did not include either fox hunters or a plane crash, as was told to Hugh that night. And the story they did provide involves an incredible coincidence. The story is apparently that there was an earthquake that hit the village, but at the same time there was a bright fireball meteor breaking up in the Earth's atmosphere. So not one extraordinary event, but two, at exactly the same time.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Over the years the UFO community has become convinced that this was indeed a UFO crash, the military launched a secret operation to secure the crash site, to recover the wreckage and maybe bodies, and to take it to a secure facility. More than four decades since the Berwyn Mountains incident, the residents of Sandrislow are still convinced that the British government is hiding the truth about what really happened that night. As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, it is part of a global effort to keep the public. in the dark about alien activity on Earth. And it all started after the U.S. Army itself reported the crash of a flying saucer.
Starting point is 00:17:00 On ancient aliens, we have covered some pretty incredible encounters, including the most famous of all, the Roswell incident in New Mexico. And one of the most exciting places I've ever visited was the airplane hangar where some say The wreckage from the Roswell crash was taken. Washington, D.C. April 2011. The FBI releases thousands of files as part of its online FBI vault. One particular file draws the attention of the media and independent researchers. The memo, dated March 22, 1950, is a briefing to FBI director Jay Edgar Hoover
Starting point is 00:17:42 regarding informant information about three flying saucers that were recovered in New Mexico. Investigators immediately connect the memo to the infamous Roswell incident, a purported UFO crash that many people believe was covered up by the military in 1947. But this document is just the latest in a series of government files that have been released in recent years, suggesting there may be more to the Roswell crash than the public was told. Here is Earth Files investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe. As a investigative reporter, I think what I am amazed by is how many leaked documents from the 1940s have actually come out into the world and lay out details about what really happened at Roswell.
Starting point is 00:18:35 On July 4th, a rancher named Macri. Brazell finds all kinds of strange silver debris. He knows he doesn't understand what he's walking through. He decides to go into Roswell and tell the sheriff, something has crashed on my ranch. Intel coming out of Roswell Army Airfield, get a sign to go to the debris field. And these men are told that they are to pick up
Starting point is 00:19:05 every single thing that is in the debris field on the Mac Brazell Ranch. everything is to be picked up. On July 8th, 1947, the headline on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record reports that the military had retrieved a flying saucer. But the following day, the official story is suddenly changed to suggest it was nothing more than a failed weather balloon. Roswell was the home of the 509th bomb group.
Starting point is 00:19:36 This was the only atomic bomb-capable squire. anywhere in the world. These people were the best of the best. The idea that intelligence personnel at this base would mistake a weather balloon for something exotic is preposterous. So that, arguably, is the start of the UFO cover-up. Richard Dolan is a historian, an author of UFOs and the national security state. The world was told, nope, just a weather balloon. And for more than 30 years, that's where it was left, until witnesses started to surface, saying no, it was actually an extraterrestrial craft and that people saw alien bodies. In April of 2014, ancient astronaut theorist Georgi Osuclos traveled to the Roswell International
Starting point is 00:20:29 Air Center in New Mexico to meet with the city's mayor, Del Journey, and to get a rare look at the hangar where the Roswell wreckage and extraterrestrial bodies were allegedly first taken. Georgie Ondell step into a massive, dark hangar. Wow, this is huge. So what do you think? Man, I have goosebumps right now. I mean, we're walking on history. It's amazing, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:56 Are you familiar where the spot is? Where they actually... Well, you know, the information that I have says that it's probably right over here in the corner. They took them over there, did an examination of the bodies. They continue on into a storage room. So this is where it was. This is it. Yeah, come on in.
Starting point is 00:21:13 They have the debris out here in the hangar area, and they bring the bodies inside this room. I really don't know what to say, because, I mean, if this was it, you're standing where extraterrestrial beings might have been. Where did the debris go? Where did it end up? Well, it ended up with the government, of course.
Starting point is 00:21:32 My understanding is it took the bodies to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. in Air Force Base. Certainly probably took the debris as well and have it well preserved in a military installation someplace. Is it possible that an alien craft really did crash in Roswell? And was it covered up by the U.S. government, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? Perhaps such encounters are harder to ignore when the witness is running for the president of the United States. On ancient aliens, we have examined the most extraordinary encounters on record.
Starting point is 00:22:09 And believe it or not, there are thousands of new UFO sightings reported every year. Of course, skeptics dismiss these accounts as misinterpretations or outright hoaxes. But on one episode of ancient aliens, Nick Pope investigated a UFO sighting made by a witness who's as credible as it gets, because this witness went public with his encounter while running for president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 30th, 2007. During the Democratic primary debate at Drexwell University, moderator Tim Russert, turns and addresses presidential candidate Dennis Kucenich. Congressman Kucinich, a serious question. Shirley McLean writes in her new book that you cited a UFO. over her home in Washington State, that you found the encounter extremely moving, that it was a triangular craft. Now, did you see a UFO? I did, and the rest of the account,
Starting point is 00:23:14 it was unidentified flying object, okay? It's like it's not identified. I saw something now. And also, you have to keep in mind that more that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO, and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs and I think approve of George Bush's presidency. The debate moment made national headlines.
Starting point is 00:23:36 While Kucenich was not a frontrunner, many political commentators proposed that this admission undoubtedly had a negative impact on his campaign. John Podesta is a former White House chief of staff. I think for most people it's been the notion that you are even discussing UFOs tends to be viewed as a career ender. You know, people think you're a little bit wacky if you're taking the phenomena seriously. But just what did Dennis Kucenich experience?
Starting point is 00:24:11 Seattle, Washington, February 2020. Former British Ministry of Defense UFO investigator, Nick Pope, has arranged to meet with Dennis Kucenich at the location of his 1982 UFO encounter, the former home of Academy Award-winning actress Shirley McCleck. claim. The home, which has since been sold, overlooks Mount Rainier, the site of the infamous Kenneth Arnold Flying Saucer incident that ignited the UFO craze in 1947. The current owner agreed to allow Nick and Dennis to take a look around. What a fabulous view. Oh, look, there's nothing like this. This is, of course, the location where you had your UFO sighting.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Can you tell me about it? Well, Nick, I was just... I seated at a dinner table with myself and two friends, and I noticed a light in the distance came from the hill directly over the house. Come on, let me show you, okay? Okay. Wow. So I was standing out here. The scope was here.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I brought it up here so that I could get a look at the light. And when I looked at it, I saw it wasn't just one light, was a series of lights, like a grid. One stacked on another. I went back and I looked. And then I saw something that was extraordinary. was extraordinary, I said the lights were separating. They were definitely moving in this direction.
Starting point is 00:25:35 So at that point, came right to the edge here. And I looked out into the hills to watch, what proved to be, three crafts moving in this direction. Just to be clear, first seen over there to directly over the house. Right, right in the hills, in the distance, and then in a straight line, that straight line would just go right overhead here. and then above the house and then quickly accelerating out of sight, just like that, gone. And that was the lost you saw it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:10 The next day, Kusenich described the experience to Shirley McLean. He would say nothing more about it for 26 years. And then, when running for the Democratic nomination in 2008, his private UFO sighting would become a public event. affecting presidential politics in a most unexpected way. When the question was asked, I think there was mention of, you know, feeling almost an emotional connection that it spoke to you. I mean, not in a literal sense, but feelings. I don't know that I ever communicated that to anyone, but I will tell you this, that it was extraordinary, it's exciting. How could it not be?
Starting point is 00:26:54 I mean, anybody who would see anything like that, would have to be excited than was I? Yeah. As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, accounts of UFO sightings from high-level politicians like Dennis Kucenich are particularly intriguing. Not only is he seen as a credible witness, but he was so amazed by what he saw that he was willing to risk his political career to talk about it. Perhaps the only encounter more compelling would be one reported by multiple witnesses that involved not a UFO, but an alien entity.
Starting point is 00:27:39 On ancient aliens, we have traveled the globe investigating reports of incredible encounters, and there are some locations that seem to be hotspots for strange and unexplained activity. In 2020, William Henry got the rare opportunity to visit. one of these hotspots where for hundreds of years people have reportedly seen otherworldly beings. November 2020, ancient astronaut theorist William Henry, along with author and historian Dustin Neff, set out to explore a series of underground lava tubes known as Pluto's Cave, several miles north of Mount Shasta. It is here where numerous eyewitnesses claim to have encountered mysterious beings, as well as seen evidence of possible interdimensional
Starting point is 00:28:34 portals. Pluto's cave is one of several natural wonders, known as lava tubes, that criss cross the region. This is Robert Shock, author of Forgotten Civilizations. Mount Shasta is a volcanic mountain. So volcanic lava tubes are formed when you have fast, flowing lava and it cools on the surface of the flow so it actually builds a crust but the lava continues to flow in the middle and it forms literally a tube william and Dustin descend into Pluto's cave awesome awesome most all of the mythology and legends around the place it all takes place underground in caves and tunnels which surround the area. If you were able to look underground, you would just see tunnels radiating out in every direction.
Starting point is 00:29:32 There are actually native authored stories that you could travel clear into Oregon completely underground. Yeah, look at that, Dustin. That's awesome. Beautiful skylight. There's a really big subculture here in Mount Shasta that has always believed that these caves and tunnels contain civilization. full of people just like you and I, and they come back and forth through portals hidden in these caves.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I've had people actually contact me and tell me they've seen people in this very cave walk right into a wall and vanish. What were these people like? What did they look like? They look just like us. It's how they're able to travel back and forth and mingle with humans. Wow. One of the most famous reports of a being emerging from within mouth, Stasta was made in 1930 by Guy Warren Ballard. Ballard, a mining engineer who worked in the area,
Starting point is 00:30:30 claimed he was surveying the slopes of the mountain when he encountered a mysterious glowing figure. This is Mitch Horowitz, author of The Seekers Guide to the Secret Teachings of All Ages. Guy reported that when he was hiking on Mount Shasta in the early 1930s, he in case some extraordinary mysterious teacher, which he later identified as the Ascended Master.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Here is Jonathan Young, Ph.D., founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. This is a radiant being dressed in white, and they get into a long conversation. And this teacher, this guru, this other-worldly character teaches, Ballard, the secrets of enlightenment. For ancient astronaut theorists, Baller's description of a radiant being is reminiscent of accounts
Starting point is 00:31:27 from ancient times of similarly luminous figures. In Irish legend, we learn of the Tuatha-Dodonan, or the Tuadadan. These are luminous humanoid beings who are considered to be beings of immense wisdom, who are also called the Shining Ones. Similar to the Shining Ones of Celtic tradition, the ancient Sumerian gods known as the Ananian Ananaki were also described as glowing figures. Might these accounts, including those made about Mount Shasta, be true? If so, can William Henry find any evidence to help verify them? If you look on the USGS charts, there's an immense negative magnetic anomaly that surrounds Mount Shasta.
Starting point is 00:32:13 That's the lay line they describe here, right? Yeah, a lot of psychic and paranormal phenomena actually occurs in places that have magnetic. anomalies and used as a as a portal between inner earth realm and the stars yeah yeah it anything capable of generating energy like that could be a portal might the lava tubes found at the base of Mount Shasta be the location where extraterrestrial beings can travel between planet Earth and the stars and if so does this explain the strange sightings of other worldly entities reported within the area. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and they believe that at the site of another incredible
Starting point is 00:32:59 encounter, undeniable evidence of alien contact was left behind by an extraterrestrial technology. Of all the unexplained phenomena we've investigated on ancient aliens, the formation of crop circles is simply baffling. Circles have been reported in over 50 different countries and on every continent except Antarctica and one night in Wiltshire England two people believe they actually witnessed a strange formation being created by something that was not human. Salisbury England July 7th 2007 local paralegal and crop circle researcher Gary King spends the night camping out on Nap Hill, an area known for sightings of mysterious
Starting point is 00:33:51 orbs and other strange occurrences. It was the 7th of July 2007, so because it was kind of an auspicious date, the 7-77, we decided we'd come here, I came here with my girlfriend to do a night watch, so we arrived here, and about 3 o'clock in the morning we had a big white flash of light which completely encompassed the sky, and about 20 minutes after that, we looked, we could see this crop circle laid out in front of us. The field it appeared in was this field here to the right that's yellow now. It was actually in wheat the year that it occurred, but they rotate the crops. And it started from way back near those trees and came over the brow of this hill. It was absolutely enormous.
Starting point is 00:34:29 The crop formation extended 1,033 feet long and 490 feet wide. The over two acre design contained 150 individual circles. The largest, 164,000. four feet across. I've no idea what made it. I'm completely open to the fact that it could be aliens. What I do know though is that people didn't make this. Gary King's experience is just one of many first-hand accounts of designs that mysteriously appear in a short period of time.
Starting point is 00:35:03 And Crop Circle researchers cite that many of these eyewitness accounts include sightings of strange lights in and around the formation. In 1991, local photographer Steve Alexander caught on camera an orb of light floating above a crop formation in Wiltshire, England. What is it? Hi. Here is crop circle researcher Charles Mallet. His camera caught sight of what seemed to be a white orb of light flying right across this field right next to a crop circle. That orb of light, whatever it was, flew directly over a tractor working in the next field down.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And later on that farmer was contacted and he said, I saw this weird orb of light about the size of a melan or something fly over my tractor. I was so intrigued by Gary King's story and the bizarre events surrounding the Crop Circle phenomenon that I had to go see it for myself. Wiltshire, England, May 13, 2015. Ancient astronaut theorist Georgiosuclos is meeting with Crop Circle researcher, Dr. Elkjo Hasselhoff to discuss a scientific paper Dr. Haselhoff published in January of 2000, suggesting that the crop circle formations might be created by an unknown electromagnetic energy source. By measuring the length of the growth nodes found along the plant stems within a crop circle and comparing them with the nodes on the undisturbed plants in the field, Dr. Haselhoff was able to predict
Starting point is 00:36:42 what he thinks could be creating this phenomenon. So you've actually done scientific analysis on some of those formations. So what were some of your conclusions? The hypothesis is that somehow electromagnetic energy is involved in the creation of these crop circles. And that somehow this energy causes node elongation, so the nodes and the stems get longer. And the more energy, the longer the nodes are. And that is very interesting because all you need to do is, is take a cross-section across a circle like this
Starting point is 00:37:15 and measure the node length in each of these positions. And actually, this is what you see. This is at the perimeter. See these nodes in these dark areas? This is somewhere halfway, and that's in the center. So you see there's a huge different node length. I mean, this is fascinating. This is incredible.
Starting point is 00:37:33 It is just a little bit. It's a difference in size between a horse and an elephant. It's very, very significant. Yeah, I mean, what would do this? That's a... Well, in this case, it was very interesting because this crop circle actually had an eyewitness when it was formed. And the eyewitness says, I saw a ball of light and it was standing still.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And that is very important because when a ball of light is standing still, we can very accurately predict how the energy will be distributed on the ground. And we know that there will be more energy in the center. And the more energy, the longer the nodes are. And in this case, it was a perfect match. Wow. Amazing, isn't it? No, this is where I get the goosebumps, because clearly there is something there, and no one denies that many of them are man-made, but then there is something bizarre.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Do you have any idea how or who might be behind it? That's a very difficult question. What I can say about that is, I don't know. So it is something that remains a giant question mark. Absolutely, yes. Does Dr. Haselhoff's scientific research provide evidence that not all crop formations are the product of hoaxers? And if so, could there be an otherworldly origin to them, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? Each and every one of the extraordinary encounters we've investigated on ancient aliens, truly defies conventional explanation.
Starting point is 00:39:13 And when you examine them together, it becomes abundantly clear that we are not alone in the universe. These events can no longer be explained away as weather balloons or hoaxes. So, what are we left with? To me, there's only one answer. Exeterrestrial visitation.
