Ancient Aliens - The Shining Ones

Episode Date: October 16, 2025

In Ireland, the notion of the fairy folk dates back thousands of years and originates with stories of powerful shining beings who came down from the sky. Could these tales have been inspired by ancient alien visitation? And if so, do the Shining Ones still inhabit the Irish mounds, existing in a parallel dimension?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We have two parallel words, the human world and the other world. The rolling landscape is believed to possess hidden power. It is said that the mounds acted as these doorways into other realities. And within these earthen mounds are said to be powerful beings known as the shining ones. They are somehow able to manipulate their surroundings and have the knowledge of the universe.

Are these Irish legends more than fanciful mythology? And if so, could there be an extraterrestrial connection? The ancient Irish were saying that these beings came from the sky. 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. The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone. Ireland. This lush green island in the North Atlantic has a history of human activity dating back more than 33,000 years. Numerous cultures have called Ireland home, from the early Beaker people, to the Celts and the Gales. And the island has a rich tradition of folklore that has spread throughout the world. But perhaps most notable is that Ireland boasts some of the oldest structures on the planet. Massive earth

and mounds, many of which date back more than 5,000 years. Tocke Thompson is a professor of anthropology at the University of Southern California. These mounds are constructed. They're not natural hills. These are megalithic constructions involving in the larger sites an enormous amount of man hours and labor. These would have been when they were made just very, very impressive sites.

This is David Childeris, author of Technology of the Gods. These mounds were an ancient earthwork that had a tunnel going through it. with stones on either side and stones on top and then covered with earth. Ireland has a tremendous amount of these mounts. And these were some of mankind's oldest large structures in the world. And they anchor all of the land together. Usually if you visit one on top of the hill, you go up, you find one,

you can do a line of sight to the next one. There was almost a network, almost across the entire island of these sites. The oldest known writing in Ireland dates back to the sixth century. century AD, more than 3,000 years after the ancient mounds are believed to have been built. With no written record about the mound's construction, archaeologists and historians can only speculate as to who made them, and for what purpose. These states were built to go inside, where presumably very, very important rituals took place. We don't know, but much later on, these sites would have been used for gatherings, for rituals,

and sort of keeping the society together. These were enormously long-lived sites of cultural importance, with enormously long-lived societies that use these as focal points. 30 miles north of Dublin in County Meath is Ireland's largest and oldest mound, called Newgrange. The ancient structure consists of over 200,000 tons of stone and has a passageway leading to a central chamber, in which human bone fragments have been found.

But archaeologists say New Grange also has an undeniable connection to the cosmos. Spiral petroglyphs thought to symbolize the universe are found all around it, and the passageway and chamber form a cruciform shape that researchers believe is based on the constellation, Cygnus. At the time New Grange was built, it was presumed to be the large. largest structure that mankind had ever built in the world. Now, one of the most interesting things about New Grange is a celestial alignment. It's still very, very poppy. If you go with the winter solstice, you have this sun dagger that it cuts tremendous distance

all the way into brighten up the inner chambers. New Grange is unique among Ireland's mounds in its sophistication and was clearly designed for ritualistic activity. But according to ancient Irish texts, the mounds served. a more profound and mysterious purpose as the dwelling places of otherworldly beings, traditionally called the she. Dr. Jenny Butler is an associate professor of religions at University College Cork. The word she, it can mean the mounds and also can mean the other world people, the people

of the mounds. In Irish tradition it's bad luck to use the word she to directly refer to these other world people. So there are many different names. We have the English word fairy folk, also elves. Stories of fairies, elves, and even leprechauns, are rooted in the ancient folklore of what the Irish call the she. But for many Irish people, the she are not merely mythological figures. This is Marty Mulligan, author of of the beginning of the story of the Tuata Dadanan. Fairies and leprechauns and all that sort of stuff, because there are too many people

can't laugh and joke about at times, but its knowledge that had been passed down for thousands and thousands of years. We have the terrestrial world and the subterrestrial world, the human world and the superhuman or other world. These worlds exist in parallel. Occasionally, however, there is communication between the two worlds.

The mounds are often referred to as, fairy forts, as are stone circles and tree clusters that are considered the property of the she. This strong cultural belief that these features are the domain of otherworldly beings has kept them intact for thousands of years. And the Irish say that when they are disturbed, bad luck always follows. Sean Quinn was the devoutiest man in Ireland. Lost everything because he moved to fairy fort. He damaged the fairy fort. He damaged the fairy and he moved it to another place. The Lurian car manufacturers, they came to Belfast

and they were making the DeLorean car up in Northern Ireland and they built the factory on the site of a Ferry Fort. And then it all came crashing down and the local people which said, well, you know, what do you expect? Ask any Irish person, would you damage a fairy fort? What would happen if you damage the fairy tree? If you gave me 10 million bucks and a Cadillac and a helicopter and a beautiful...

and a beautiful house, Sunset Boulevard, and so all I had to do was chopped down a fairy tree. I'd be handing that money straight back to you. I wouldn't do it. No one I know would do it either. So do we believe in the fairies in Ireland. We do. While modern day representations of fairies

often depict benevolent, sprightly creatures, traditional Irish notions of fairies are much different. They are considered powerful and sometimes dangerous beings. This is author and investigative mythologist William Henry. You don't want to mess with the Ishi. They're not cute, cuddly little fairies like we typically think of today. But these are very extraordinarily powerful people, wielders of supernatural powers.

The she, or fairy folk, are often referred to as the shining ones. But do accounts of their luminous appearance suggest that they are divine beings? divine beings. According to the ancient Irish stories, while the fairies have supernatural abilities, they are not immortal gods. The inhabitant of the she is not necessarily immortal in the narrative sometimes they're killed or meet with death but they never grow old and so if they are killed or die they do so while young. There are other but somewhat humanoid. Sometimes they're small and green they abduct

They have either advanced technology or ancient magic. And many ways, this fairy tradition reminds me very much of the UFO tradition that we have in the United States. When it comes to these dwellings of the fairy folk, there's lots of talk about otherworldly beings emerging from the mounds. And also people getting taken into the mounds and like disappearing. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Succolos. You hear stories of lights in the sky or even lights in the forest and the woods that you see. So could it be possible that the fairy folk is a description of exeterrestrials back in the day? There's absolutely an argument that can make that case.

In our stories relating to the she and fairies called and what you will, All of our stories said they came from the sky world. Is it possible that modern beliefs of fairies and elves are based on real otherworldly beings that the Irish people encountered centuries ago and that may still inhabit the island today? And if so, why are they thought to dwell within the ancient mounds?

According to legend, the she did not always live within the earth, and their story begins with a group of shining beings who arrived in flying craft. In Ireland, tales of the shee or fairy folk have been passed down orally for more than 3,000 years. And in the 11th century, many of these stories were documented in a text called The Book of Invasions. According to this medieval account of Irish history and lore, thousands of years ago,

a godlike race of beings called the Tuat de Danin landed on a mountain top in Ireland, often referred to as the Shining Ones. They are the ancestors of the Shi. All of our stories relate back to the Toohydidadanum. For three thousand years, at least, if not more, before that, all of the stories from mythology are all relating to Toohydidadanan. They were the shining ones. There is a description in the mythological material in the early Irish literature.

of the Tuah de Dhanan arriving in cloud ships, arriving in dark clouds, and landing on a mountain. Here is author and researcher Kathleen McGowan. There is a long poem about the arrival of the Tuudadenaan. One of the lines says, The truth was not known beneath the sky of stars, whether they were of heaven or of earth. The Tuahedadana are not human. They're demigods. not immortal, not infallible, not like the gods of a monotheistic tradition of any of the Abrahamic religions. The Tuot de Danin were said to be luminous beings of large stature who wielded magical powers. The Tuud de Danin had an arsenal of very technological-sounding weaponry.

Lou of the long arm, for example, possessed a spear that when he threw it, he could give a voice command and it would automatically hit whatever target. Then he'd give another voice command, and the spear would mysteriously return to him. We have circles of light that they use to travel around Ireland upon. We have another chieftain named Nuata, who lost an arm in a battle against the giants,

and they were able to replace his arm. The Tuatha did honor were said to have a magical cauldron. They had a cloak of invisibility. They had spears that shot flame. flames out. The ancient astronaut theory tries to look at ancient stories in which magic happens from a modern perspective and determine if that so-called magic really was some type of technology. Then one has to wonder where did that technology come from?

Well, there's only one answer to this, and that is extraterrestrials. For ancient astronaut theorists, another intriguing aspect of these stories is how similar they are to accounts of sky gods found in other ancient cultures. This is Bill Burns, PhD, co-author of The Day After Roswell. The stories of, let's call them aliens, descending from clouds on tops of mountains are straight across the cultural history of human beings. start with one of the earliest ones, the descent on Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. That's where the Nephileem came down. Another in the descent of the Ananaki, they came from clouds.

We have other stories in Tibet and other places where these gods are coming down and they land on top of a mountain. The gods of Olympus in Greece has another example. Here is Andrew Collins, author of The Cygnus Mystery. The stories of the Tu'ath d'Anon in these whirlwinds or clouds is something that we find in connection with deities in other parts of the world. For instance, across the Middle East, there is the concept of gin. These are supernatural beings, very often associated with fire and light, that can appear in whirlwinds, and manifest into physical form.

The fact that we have countless stories that are not just similar but identical leads me to think that perhaps all these ancient cultures were visited by the same extraterrestrials. According to ancient astronaut theorists, the tradition that is most similar to the Tuat Dianen is that of the Anunaki, the sky gods described by the Sumerians, humankind's earliest known civilization.

Amir Hussein is a professor of theological studies at Loyola Marymount University. What you've got with the Sumerians is the beginnings of civilization people living together, but also the beginnings of writing. You know, some of the earliest written texts that we have are texts by these people. This is Jonathan Young, PhD, founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. These clay tablets are 5,000 years old and more, and they're a great. They tell of the arrival of the gods, the Anunaki, the pantheon of gods, the chief was Anu. This is the sky god who came along and created everything.

The term Anunaki means those who from the heavens came, and it refers to beings descending from the sky imparting knowledge. In the Irish stories, the Tuudadainen were also responsible for imparting knowledge to the ancient people. The Tududanin were the masters of all of the crafts, mastered of all of the arts, and they introduced the knowledge and the ways of agriculture. The Tududan would always interact with the people. It's the same one as did Ananaki.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the iconography of the Sumerians and Irish provides additional evidence that they encountered the same otherworldly beings. Both depicted the gods as being of giant stature compared to humans. Both portrayed them in scenes with hybrid or flying animals, and both have images of the gods with horns or antlers emerging from their heads. But perhaps most intriguing of all is that there appears to be a linguistic connection between the Arunaki and the Tu'a de Danan. According to some accounts, the Tuadadanan's original name was the Tuwa da Anu,

the tribe of Anu, or Danu. Linguists are very intrigued by this because this encodes the name of Anu, the high god of the Ananaki for whom they are formed. And it suggests that perhaps the Tua de Danan are the descendants of the Ananaki. Could the striking similarities that exist between the stories of the Tua de Danan and the Anunaki reveal that Ireland was visited by the same otherworldly beings that are described by humanity's first known civilization? roughly 3,000 miles away. But if so, how are they connected to Ireland's mound dwellers, known as the she or fairy folk? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining mysterious ancient priests,

called the Druids. During an excavation of an Iron Age burial site, archaeologists discover the skeleton of a man who lived around the third century. B.C. and who is wearing a unique headdress. Based on the design of this bronze crown, many researchers believe that these are the first remains ever discovered of a druid. According to Irish legend, the druids were a class of ancient Celtic priests who were in close contact with the shining ones, the Tuud de Danin. The word for druid in Irish is Dreyukht, which literally means magic.

So there is an interconnection between the Tuadei Danin and their magic and the practice of druidery. The Tuat adan were said to have been the founders of druidism. And the druids were said to have all kinds of special powers themselves. And so it would seem that the Tuad de Danin had shown some of their extraterrestrial technology to the druids who then were able to use themselves. The Druidic religion originated with the Tuuddin, but they were never allowed to write down any of the druidic knowledge.

It was taboo because it was so-called sacred knowledge. The Druid spent decades in training to perform their priestly functions. These are members of the inner circle, as we're told. The inner circle refers ultimately to the innermost knowledge of the toadadonit. The shining ones, they know their secrets and they can wield their technology. Portrayals of druids as mysterious shaman-like figures with mystical powers has led some scholars to question if they truly existed or were purely mythological figures. But according to the earliest accounts of them, the druids were an integral part of Celtic society throughout the

British Isles. There are certain things we know about the druids, but of course there's a lot we don't know and this vacuum incited a lot of romantic speculation in the 19th century and so we're still carrying that baggage a little bit to swirling robes and so on but in Celtic society and Gaelic society the Druids exercised authority and played an important role in the life of the tribe and the society the druids were the holders of knowledge they held and perpetuated the knowledge which was important to the survival of the tribe. They held and perpetuated judiciary knowledge,

things sacred and spiritual. The druid was a very special figure, a priest perhaps, a historian perhaps, a magician perhaps, and many, many things. These were the learned people of Celtic society. They formed a special class. According to Caesar, the druids in Gaul had to study 20 years to become a druid. And they had many, many roles to play, including acting as druists and judges, advisors to kings. And so druidism and the magic that they were able to employ is really a foundational part of early Celtic society.

And druids are not necessarily men. We also have a lot of accounts of female druidry. And it does seem to be associated heavily with a Tu'ah Dhanan. They didn't just teach things like astronomy and, you know, harm. in nature, they were working with geomancy, the placement of ancient sites across the landscape called Geodicy, and also working with earth energies and even plant medicines. So they had a high understanding of these different arts and sciences. The druids were known to travel far and wide, seeking out the knowledge of other cultures. But they were also said to interact directly with the Tua de Danin, who shared the secrets of their so-called magical abilities.

This is Graham Phillips, author of Wisdom Keepers of Stonehenge. Pliny the Elder, who was one of the most famous of the Roman writers and historians, he claimed that at a full moon, druids would meet at a mound, and they would trace the design that looked something like a dragon on top of the mound. And this would summon some sort of lightning or something. phenomenon that happened in the sky. I don't think he saw it himself. He was taking what he knew from Roman soldiers had witnessed it.

But apparently it frightened a lot of them. They saw lights in the sky once the druids did this dragon ritual as it became known. So it would seem that the druids knew of the power of certain special places. And perhaps this is something that would summon the Tuadro. down and these shining people who came from the scar. One of the many magical powers the Druids were said to possess was the ability to levitate massive stones, which they used to construct some of the megalithic structures found throughout the British Isles. The most famous of the Druids, of course, was Merlin.

Merlin was said to have created Stonehenge by taking an existing stone circle from Ireland and bringing it to Salisbury Plain in southern England. And there, using magic powers, he was able to raise the stones into position in the manner that we see them today. What is interesting is that the stones that built Stonehenge did come from a long way away. About 135 miles away in South Wales, somehow there were and move to central England. And the ancients believed it was Merlin, who was responsible for that. There are stories that say that some of those big gigantic blocks at Stonehenge

were levitated into place through magical incantations. Well, what magical incantations? Because I don't think that levitation can happen just by words. There has to be some type of technology behind it. The idea is that basically this was extraterrestrial knowledge imparted by the Tududdinand. When the Romans were here, they say that the druids had this power to build stone circles, of which there were thousands throughout the British Isles. Stonehenge, Avebury, New Grange. These places, we find legends attached to the

that they were able to float the stones through the air. Is it possible that a secret society of Celtic priests who lived more than 2,000 years ago had access to otherworldly technology? According to the ancient accounts, while the druids were the disciples of the Tuuded Diedanen, it would ultimately be a druid who brought their reign in Ireland to an end and drove them underground. County Kerry, 1700 BC. A fleet of ships arrives on the southern shores of Ireland, carrying invaders from the south. According to early Irish accounts, they are aided by a druid named Avarine in their conquest of Ireland. Averine was seeking revenge for his great uncle, who had been killed by the three kings of the Tua de Danin. These were the sons of Mill, better known.

as the Milicians. The Milicians came out of the Mediterranean, probably from Greece or Crete or Anatolia, modern-day Turkey, and they arrived in Ireland, and huge battles took place between the Tuatha Darnan and the Militians. Many stories have been written about these battles, but according to the most trusted sources, the Tuadidanaan agreed to a truth. to save their beloved Ireland. They did not come to the earth to do warfare. They came to heal the earth, to work with the earth, and work with Mother Earth, and all of the good energies.

What was agreed upon that this country would be shared was room enough for everyone in this country. And it was agreed that the Milicians would live on the ground, on the earth itself, but that the Tuatha Danan would go beneath the earth inside inside mounds of earth that were known as she. These acted as these doorways into a realm where forever after the Tuatha Danan would live.

I said that the all turned sideways into the light that just disappeared on the ground. The Melessians then took control of the surface of Ireland and modern-day Irish people are thought to be descendants of the Melessians. Legend states that after the Tuadians, Dada descended below ground, a mysterious evolution took place. Once the Tuatha went underground, they evolved over many years into something known as the E-She. That's better known in later mythology as the elfin folk, elves.

After the Tuatha Danone entered into the earthen mountains or she, they became. beings that could appear in physical form but could equally vanish. Humans were able to interact with them often when they would see some kind of light that would be emanating from these earthen mounds. And they would go towards them and when they were able to look into these lights, they could see the Tuathdanaan, the she, the fairies. People would be able to join them in this realm. Reports of elves and fairies and little people have been around in Ireland as long as people have lived there.

People saw something. They saw some types of beings. People still see these beings even today. One location in Ireland where sightings of fairies are often reported is at the Hill of Tara, which is home to numerous ancient mounds as well as a monolith called Leia Fall. Legend states that this monolith was a gift from the Shining Ones. The Leophael means the stone of destiny, and it refers to a standing stone about five feet tall in County Meath Island. In the legends of Leophal, we have the Tuudadenaan bringing the energy of this stone down with them to this powerful place, this place of extraordinary energy and current. because it can interact with the energy in the land. The power of the land itself is the reason that the Danan come to this location in the Hill of Tara.

It was said that when the rightful king of Ireland came in contact with Leophal, it would scream out to announce that this was the rightful king of all Ireland. It would then imbue the king with qualities of strength and longevity and health in order that he might reign over Ireland for a very very important. long time. To this day, ceremonies take place on the Hill of Tara. With the ancient Irish associated this stone with the Elvenfo and the fairies, and people continue to see them today, and probably we will continue to see them in the future as well. If otherworldly beings called the Tuad de Danin truly existed in ancient Ireland,

is it possible that they are still present today? Now known as the she or fairy folk who inhabit the thousands of earth and mounds found throughout the country. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest that they may occupy a parallel dimension. Today, organizations exist throughout the world that investigate potential encounters with extraterrestrials visiting Earth. But long before these groups existed, the people of the British Isles were examining another type of otherworldly phenomenon. In the 1920s, something very strange happened in Ireland. There were suddenly mass sightings of fairies. So much so that a captain, Quentin Crawford, formed what he called the Society for the Investigation of Fairies,

which was a very scientific and serious approach. collecting data about these fairy sightings. Like a modern UFO group today, their mission was to study elves, figure elves out, what they were doing there, try to communicate with elves. And they absolutely believed that fairies and elves were real and existed throughout the British Isles. People from all walks of life contacted the organization, reporting encounters with beings they believed were fairies. fairies. Witnesses described fairies leading them to buried relics, walking through solid walls, and even transforming into orbs of light.

This society did important research up until World War II when their records were destroyed. And then in 1949, they began doing research again. Hundreds of members joined the society in the 1950s, including Walt Disney. Now what's amazing about this is that it in order to become a member of the society, you had to declare an absolute belief in the existence of fairies. And who other than Walt Disney in the modern world is more closely connected to fairies?

The idea that you would actually have a very serious society that was looking into fairies shows that in the British Isles and in Ireland, the whole concept of elven folk and fairies and leprechauns is very real. and continues to the stay. In 1969, French astronomer Jacques Ville

published a groundbreaking book on unexplained phenomena called Passport to Magonia, from folklore to flying saucers. In it, he proposed that historical accounts of fairies and other strange beings could be the same phenomenon that today is interpreted as extraterrestrial.

Here is Earth Files investigative journal list, Linda Moulton Howe. Jacques did what I think is one of the most important books about the UFO phenomena, trying to understand of all the things in the sky and on the ground through history that have either been painted, photographed, caught on radar, what are they, and why are they? This is Rabbi Ariel Bar Sadoq, founder of the Kosher Torah School. Every culture speaks of the others, whether it be the wee people, the leprechauns, or the fairies, or the angels, or the demons. Our brothers in Islam know them very well, and they're called the Jin.

And the one thing that is taught about the Jin is essentially they are energetic beings, and their place of residence is in the domains of inner earth. And this leads us to ask the question if the domains of inner earth are actually physical within this dimension or possibly in a parallel dimension. According to Valle, the strange beings that humans have reported encountering for thousands of years may, in fact, be interdimensional. Valle believes that from the time of the Big Bang, if it created one universe, Why couldn't it create a multitude of universes? Might there be connections between the different universes where elements from the other universe cross into our universe? And where elements of our universe cross into theirs.

That would explain how people coming upon the she might not just see an underground civilization, but they might see an interdimensional civilization. Could it be that sightings of fairies and similar figures described in other ancient traditions are encounters with beings that occupy parallel dimensions? And if so, are these the same beings described today as extraterrestrials? There are possible parallels between the she or fairies that seem to be similar to UFO accounts, for example, seeing strange lights. like what's known as in Irish and British tradition,

the will of the wisp, these fairy lights that move and lead people astray. When you get to the 20th century and where people were trying to figure out human abductions, you start hearing from people saying, well, they shape shifted in front of me. There were beams of light that took us up and down. They can disappear, they can go through windows, walls.

And those are the things. the same verbs and nouns that were being used in the centuries before in Ireland and other places about fairies and so-called pretend creatures. There are stories and personal experiences similar to UFO accounts that have been recorded of missing time where somebody is taken into the other worlds by the fairies and thinks they've been there for a few hours, but it's been a few days when they return. Oftentimes, you hear stories of missing time, of people disappearing for weeks, or losing their memory for significant events.

And frankly, that is similar to what you hear from modern-day UFO abduction stories. Could it be that the folklore of cultures all around the country? globe is based on an otherworldly presence that people have been encountering since humankind's earliest history. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes. And according to the Irish, at least once a year, the veil is lifted between our realm and theirs. The Hill of Ushna, Ireland. Located 60 miles west of Dublin, this site has been sacred to the Irish for centuries. Each year in early May, locals gather at this sacred site to celebrate the ancient festival of Bialtina. Dating back more than 3,000 years, Bialtina and its famous bonfire provide a link between modern Christian Ireland and its pagan Celtic past.

This festival is the traditional start of summer. The Celtic peoples divided the year into a dark half. and then a bright half marked at Bieltina. It was so important that people understood the precise times of year for agricultural reasons. The people work in the fields, didn't have the knowledge of astronomy. So the fire was a signal and they saw the fire. From the highest point on Oshne, 20 counties are visible. So once the main fire is lit on Oshne,

in a circle, all of the hills around light their fires. And then it spreads and spreads with the whole country. And it happens instantly. The fire is a signal to all of the country that now is the summertime. But Bialtina, which is also celebrated at other ancient sites throughout Ireland, serves another more profound purpose. Many Irish believe that during this festival, it is possible for humans to peer inside the mounds into an entirely different reality.

There's a threshold or boundary between worlds that becomes, comes thin and human beings can see into the other world or encounter otherworldly beings more easily. Bialtina or May Day is associated very strongly with the she, the fairy people, the shining ones. Through festivals like Bialtina, the people of Ireland maintain a strong connection to the traditions of their past. Traditions of shining beings who came down from the sky and continue to continue to be.

to live on within the ancient mounds. When I was growing up in Ireland, people, at least in the rural areas, and Ireland was very rural at the time, nobody would admit to not believing in the fairies. The existence of the fairy folk was not questioned. This idea that Ireland has had this love affair with leprechauns and fairy folk, I would ask the question, well, what? What is the underlying meaning of this? Because stories of fairy folk go back at least 3,000 years in Ireland.

In the case of the Tua de Danin, it's even earlier, it's possible that what we have here is one of the earliest examples of ancient astronaut teachers. I've reached a certain age of my life now that it's not about believing. Just that this is the way it is now. So do we believe in fairy-oferior? and leprechauns in Ireland, absolutely 100%. Is it possible that beneath the idyllic rolling countryside of Ireland, there are entrances to a hidden realm

that has been inhabited by otherworldly beings for more than 3,000 years? Could they be the descendants of extraterrestrials who were responsible for the creation of the human race? Perhaps the whimsical legends of Ireland are not so whimsical after all, but contain profound truths about an alien presence on Earth that is still with us today.
