NARRATOR: Prehistoric
sculptures of reptilian beings...
Something significant happened.
Something that would alter our
understanding of human history.
NARRATOR: weird, elongated skulls,
nearly 4,000 years old...
It would seem that those
elongated skulls...
were people who were somehow
half-alien, half-human.
NARRATOR: and ancient myths
of small, grey beings with
large heads and black, oval eyes.
There have been descriptions
of gray beings going back
hundreds, if not thousands of years.
NARRATOR: All around the planet,
ancient evidence points
to strange, otherworldly visitors.
This data suggests beyond a
shadow of a doubt that physical
extraterrestrials visited
Earth in the remote past.
NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
What if it were true?
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
And if so, might science finally
reveal the truth behind the
mystery of the Greys.
NARRATOR: Roswell,
New Mexico.
July 3, 1947.
A flash of light streaks
across the sky...
and crashes in the desert near
the Roswell Army Airfield.
Rancher Mac Brazel hears the
impact and investigates
the next morning.
He reports what he
finds to authorities.
NICK REDFERN: The field of
debris was like nothing ever
seen before.
And the rancher reported finding
what looked like, initially,
foil-like material that, when it
was scooped up and collected, it
had these strange properties,
like memory metal.
In other words, it would resume
its original shape when it was
crumpled up, if you like.
This sort of suggested the
possibility that something very
strange had come
down at Roswell.
JASON MARTELL: And they
find five alien bodies.
Alien because they
do not look human.
Using hermetically sealed,
smaller, coffin-sized boxes,
these bodies were transported
and looked at, medically
analyzed, and then shipped off to
various areas of classified research.
KEN STORCH: They're described as
the classical Grey, three and
a half, four feet tall, black
wrap-around eyes, slits for a
mouth, long arms, depending on
which description, between three
and five fingers.
NARRATOR: At first, U.S.
Military personnel announce that
they have recovered debris from
an unknown spacecraft.
But later, they reverse themselves.
REDFERN: 'Cause 24 hours later,
the military completely
changed its story and said,
"Sorry, we made a big mistake.
It was just a weather balloon."
But, of course, no statement was
made as to how trained military
personnel couldn't tell the
difference between a flying
saucer and a weather balloon.
NARRATOR: But why did the
military change their story?
Was it because they found
something else, something
"otherworldly," as ancient
astronaut theorists believe.
GEORGE NOORY: People who
claim to have been associated
with the crash at Roswell claim
that there were several alien
bodies recovered.
It's very strange that they
would talk about beings.
We also know that the mortician
was called and that they were
asked to come up with
small little caskets.
Something obviously
happened at Roswell.
What was it exactly?
We really don't know, but I
think it was out of this world.
SABINA MAGLIOCCO: This is kind of
the core of the Roswell legend.
Our government, which is, in a
democracy, supposed to be of the
people, by the people, for the
people, is covering this up.
The second thing that is
implicit in this legend is, of
course, that extraterrestrials
have been visiting the Earth.
NARRATOR: But if alien beings
did, in fact, crash at Roswell,
who are they and
what do they want?
September 19, 1961.
According to news accounts,
Betty and Barney Hill were
driving through New Hampshire
late at night when a large
flying saucer rapidly approached
them and then hovered over their car.
They saw strange figures through
the windows of the craft.
And mysteriously, the couple
also reported complete memory
loss of the two hours immediately
following the encounter.
MARTELL: No one really knows,
to this day, what Betty and
Barney Hill saw, however, the
details of their case do reflect
on various other versions
of alien abduction.
I say "alien abduction,"
because some of the pieces of
information that they discuss...
the loss of time, seeing beings
that actually came out of
this craft and associated and
interacted with them,
and they weren't human.
STORCH: Ultimately, under
hypnosis, they recalled being
brought out of the car and taken
aboard the ship, and it was
a legitimate abduction, and that
Betty pleaded with her captors,
if you will, that not to harm
her as she laid on this table
and experiments were done
on her, like a needle being
inserted into her stomach.
Barney relates a number of skin samples
and sperm being taken from him.
MARTELL: The beings described by
Betty and Barney Hill fit the
classic case of a Grey.
Now, there are variations to
size and dimensions of these
beings, but they all seem to
have the same characteristics:
Slim, spindly bodies; large, oval
heads; large, oversized eyes.
NARRATOR: The Hills were the
first documented case of an
alien abduction in modern
time, but it is not the last.
Since the 1960s, there have
been many more similar reports,
including that of Kim Carlsberg,
a commercial photographer who,
in 1988, claimed to have been
abducted by Grey aliens in the
middle of the night.
KIM CARLSBERG: We were living
on the beach in Pacific
Palisades, and I walked up to the
window, and I saw this light
on the horizon that I
had never seen before.
You know, I've lived on the
beach my whole life, and it
wasn't a boat and it wasn't a star.
I just watched this craft.
The next thing I knew, it jetted
into the stars and disappeared,
and I went to bed as usual.
I woke up in the middle of the
night and I was not in my bed
any longer.
I was naked and I was paralyzed.
The beings I saw were
about 3? feet tall.
They were naked.
They were off-white,
they were not grey.
They had huge heads, huge
wraparound black eyes,
tiny little bodies.
MAGLIOCCO: There are many
stories of Greys abducting
humans into their spaceships and
even of being inseminated with
alien reproductive material and
then conceiving human-alien
hybrid babies and having those
fetuses removed from their
bodies and then grown on
the alien spaceships.
In some cases, people report
going back onto the spaceship
and being able to see
these hybrid offspring.
CARLSBERG: I was being
used for my DNA.
They were creating hybrid
children from my eggs, someone
else's sperm, and combining it
with their DNA and their sperm.
I would be implanted with an
alien fetus and they would leave
the fetus in my body
for a few months.
Then they would bring me back
again later and then they would
remove it.
It was horrific, it was terrifying.
NOORY: You can't have so many
people saying that they've been
abducted and not have some
possibility of truth with that.
I think it's happening.
I don't know if it's a
hybridization program for these
ET's, or whether they're trying
to bring these hybrids back to
this planet one day, when
the environment changes.
But, in my opinion, something
very strange is happening to
these people who
claim to be abducted.
RICHARD DOLAN: There is an
overabundance of testimony from
just too many people who say
that they remember these types
of creatures and having
been taken by them.
Yeah, I think the Greys
make perfect sense.
Now, the question is,
where are they from?
MICHAEL DENNIN: So, if you
think about the Grey alien with
the large head, small body, why
are these the aliens that are so
often projected?
As a scientist, you really
have sort of two sides
that you like to think about.
One is, why do we
project them that way
if, you know, they're
just our projection?
And if they did really exist,
hypothetically, would
intelligent life look
radically different?
And I think there the answer
can be very much, yes.
NARRATOR: But what can explain
the similarity of the
Greys described by abduction victims?
And why do recent descriptions
match ancient depictions of
so-called sky gods found
all around the world?
Might they be from the same
race of otherworldly beings, as
ancient astronaut theorists believe?
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
Something can be said about a
potential presence of Greys in
the remote past, because there
are some figurines and some cave
drawings that look like Greys.
There are some statues in ancient
Sumeria, but we can also
find cave drawings in Europe and,
for example, in Australia,
where the heads feature a
triangular shape with the big
almond eyes.
NARRATOR: Cave paintings
in the Kimberley region of
Australia... nearly 5,000 years old...
could be among the
earliest depictions of
Greys ever discovered.
According to local legends, the
carvings are of ancient spirits
called the Wondjina who appeared
during dream time to create the
landscape and influence
its inhabitants.
PHILLIP COPPENS: Really what
you have there is a typical
depiction of your Grey alien being.
The almond-shaped eyes, the
almond-shaped heads, because
quite often you find in rock art
various strange creatures there,
but not necessarily the Greys.
So to have, in the Kimberley
caves, a depiction of a Grey is
really extraordinary.
TSOUKALOS: The Wondjina were
beings that descended from the
sky and essentially jump-started
civilization in and around Australia.
In fact, the Aboriginals of today
still pray to those beings.
And to me, that is significant,
because what we have here is
what I refer to as living
mythology; that these
mythologies have been kept
alive over thousands of years.
And to me, there is no
coincidence in that.
NARRATOR: Might alien beings,
known as the Greys, really have
been visiting Earth for
thousands of years, as Ancient
Astronaut theorists believe?
Perhaps the answer can be found
not in the stars, but in man's
earliest depictions of sky gods.
NARRATOR: Iraq...
a region once known
as Mesopotamia.
Located on the east bank of the
Tigris River, opposite the
modern city of Mosul, lie the remains
of the ancient city of Nineveh.
Here, in 1849, 6,000-year-old
Sumerian clay tablets were
discovered that contain the earliest
known form of written records.
Interpretations of the accounts
engraved on the tablets speak of
an alien race called the
Anunnaki who settled in Sumer
and bred with humans.
MARTELL: The Anunnaki, which
comes from Sumer, our
modern-day Iraq, speak of gods
that literally created us...
humans... in their image
and after their likeness.
So when we go back to some of
these Sumerian epics and various
texts that go back thousands of
years, the Anunnaki are a great
resource of realizing these were
actual beings that existed.
And the Anunnaki even worked
with or had some relationship
with the Greys.
COPPENS: With the Anunnaki, what
Anu really is a description
of the fact that they're linked
with their creative deities,
and, in this case, Anu is linked
with the constellation of Orion...
very specifically saying that
these creatures come from
somewhere out there in the
universe, and have
come from there to us.
CHILDRESS: When you look at
the evidence, it appears that
there was a number of different
alien species that were coming
to this planet.
You have the smaller,
big-headed Grey aliens.
You have the very tall, literal
giants that were sometimes
called the Anunnaki.
We have other alien species that
allegedly look almost
identical to us.
NARRATOR: In the American
Southwest, the ancestors of the
Native Hopi Indians believed in
deities from other worlds and
created illustrations of
them on canyon walls.
But in some cases, researchers
believe the depictions of sky
gods match modern-day
descriptions of the Greys.
MAGLIOCCO: In Hopi culture,
there are spirits called
Kachina that represent, really,
beings from the other world.
They really are a mixture of
nature spirits, earth spirits.
Some of them also really take on
almost aspects of very powerful
ancestors or gods.
These are otherworldly creatures.
TSOUKALOS: The translation for
the word Kachina is very simple.
It means teacher.
The Kachina were not a part of
the spiritual world, but they
were, in fact, a part
of the physical world.
They descended from the sky
in what the Hopi refer to as
fiery shields.
They would touch down on Earth,
spend time with human beings,
teach them, give them knowledge,
and then they would use
the same "shields" to
fly back into the sky.
COPPENS: The Kachinas were
physically living with them,
and at some point it is said
that the Kachinas took to
the mountains, specifically the
San Francisco Mountains outside
of Flagstaff, and then that
later, they disappeared.
MARTELL: The Kachinas in the
Hopi culture are known as gods,
and this term "gods" I use
loosely, because we now look at
the information and wonder if
they're possibly extraterrestrials.
Now what's interesting is this
theme is replicated across
many different cultures.
The gods come here and find our
human females attractive, so
this is the same thing
reported by the Hopi Indians.
NARRATOR: But if Grey aliens
came to Earth in the distant
past and mated with humans,
where is the physical evidence
of this union?
Researchers point to numerous
elongated humanoid skulls found
on several continents.
Might such remains actually be of
a hybrid species... part alien
and part human as Ancient
Astronaut theorists believe?
CHILDRESS: One of the things
that you see around the
pyramids, here on coastal Peru,
is that they're associated with
these skulls.
It would seem that those
elongated skulls were
half-alien, half-human.
And in fact, some of the recent
DNA testing that's been done,
here in Peru, is indicating
that these people are, somehow,
half-human and
half some other race.
VON DANIKEN: Well, this, uh,
elongated skulls is a phenomenon
which is worldwide.
We found them in Central America.
We found them in South America.
You find them in Egypt.
So I think in the very,
very beginning, these
extraterrestrials, they must
have had longer heads than the
normal human brain.
MARTELL: They're found all
over the globe, and we have to
wonder if this was some type
of either lost advanced
civilization, or were these
actually extraterrestrials
visiting various cultures and
having similar influences.
Maybe some of these elongated
skulls are actually artifacts
to, say, beings existed at
one time, that ancient man
considered gods.
COPPENS: And it's once
again cross-cultural.
We find it specifically at a
very brief period in time, in
ancient Egypt, under Akhenaton.
And specifically, in Peru, an
awful lot of excavations are
happening where you see strange
skulls being uncovered,
specifically these skulls which are
really larger than they should be.
It seems very straightforward
that, somehow, the gods were
visually linked with
elongated skulls.
NARRATOR: Might elongated skulls...
some estimated to be
over 4,000 years old, really be
evidence of the existence of
Grey aliens in the ancient past?
And if so, could this be proof
of intermingling between human
and alien civilizations?
For ancient astronaut theorists,
the answer on both counts is a
categorical yes.
Perhaps further evidence can be
found not here on Earth, but on
the surface of a nearby planet.
NARRATOR: Mars.
July 31, 2008.
NASA's Phoenix Lander
successfully touches down on the
Martian surface.
And while searching for evidence
of microbial life, the robotic
spacecraft finds trace amounts of
water frozen underneath the soil.
The discovery of an element
so essential to life raises
speculation that Mars may have
been home to alien life-forms in
the distant past.
COPPENS: When we start
scouring the solar system for
evidence of an alien species,
what we're really beginning to
find out is that Mars is,
by far, the best candidate.
DENNIN: Given that our local
solar system already has
example of two planets... one
that clearly has life
'cause we're here,
and then one, like Mars,
that could have had it
started and then just 'cause it
was in the wrong place or not
quite right, it didn't keep going...
gives hope that there
really is more life
elsewhere in the universe.
MAGLIOCCO: Mars has a special
place in our consciousness and
our folklore, going back to the time
of, really, the ancient Greeks.
And this becomes more important
as we get closer to the end of
the 19th century, where you have
reliable astronomy, powerful
telescopes that can see, for
example, some of what are called
canals on the planet Mars.
People have begun to imagine a
civilization that, perhaps,
existed long ago on Mars,
created these canals for
transportation, or for other reasons.
But then something cataclysmic
happened, that possibility of
life on that planet was destroyed.
And so the denizens had to
flee and go somewhere else.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
Mars was once a fertile planet
like the Earth?
And if so, might it have been
home to a species of beings we
call the Greys, as some Ancient
Astronaut theorists believe?
VON DANIKEN: All mythologies
consider Mars to be
the planet of w*r.
So you cannot exclude that,
sometime in the past...
this could be 10,000 or hundred
thousands of years ago...
Mars had a civilization.
And the civilization destroyed
itself, whatever the reason was,
and some of the winners of the
situation escaped to Earth.
COPPENS: Our ancestors were
also convinced that there was
life on Mars.
Mars has always been singled out as
this cosmic twin of planet Earth.
It's almost as if it's somehow
part of our DNA that somehow
tells us we need to go to Mars.
And if we did have a brother at
one point, the likely chance is
that we're going to find evidence
of this brother on Mars.
Everything which we know about
non-human life contact in the
past or in more recent times,
it is somewhat humanoid.
And so, to find out that this
species would have a base on
Mars is, I think, very much
in the line of expectations.
MARTELL: Any type of species on Mars
today would probably be subterranean.
Now this is an interesting
piece for the idea that the
Greys occupy Mars.
We know that here on Earth, we do see
evidence of subterranean activity.
Maybe the Greys actually
came from Mars.
NARRATOR: But if Mars might
have once sustained life,
and possibly intelligent beings,
might other more distant
planets in the universe also
have supported life, and perhaps
even a thriving civilization?
December 5, 2011.
Scientists, using NASA's Kepler
space telescope, confirm that
they have found two planets,
orbiting a distant sun-like
star, that are in a narrow
range of space within their
solar system, called the
habitable zone, in which a
planet might have water,
and perhaps, sustain life.
DENNIN: So, there's been the
recent announcements of the
Kepler B and new planets.
And it's been a very exciting
period for astronomy.
Our telescopes have gotten
powerful enough to finally find
planets around other suns.
We have them around ours;
Why would we be unique?
MARTELL: Kepler 22B is an example.
2.5 times the size of Earth,
rotates on a 290-day orbit, very
similar to our own
properties here on Earth.
Potentially the Greys, or
various other aliens that have
been visiting us, come from
other worlds that we're now
finally starting to locate.
COPPENS: And so what we're having
here is really a threshold.
Science, NASA in this case, has
really made a lunge forward in
saying we have left the field of
possibilities, we've entered the
realm whereby the ancient alien
theory is no longer a theory but
is really coming closer and
closer and closer to evidence,
if not proof.
NOORY: I think it's very
possible that Kepler will find
more and more planets,
some Earth-like.
They've already come up with a
theory that there are billions
of planets in our galaxy now.
Some of them are bound to
have intelligent life.
NARRATOR: If Grey aliens did
originate from habitable planets
like Kepler 22B, is there
evidence that their
intergalactic quest
led them to Earth?
According to Ancient Astronaut
theorists, we need look no
further than the megalithic
structures and pyramids of
Central America's ancient
city of Teotihuacan.
TSOUKALOS: The word "Teotihuacan"
means "where man met with the gods."
The main reason why Teotihuacan
was even built there was because
at one point, some type of
extraterrestrial contact took
place at Teotihuacan.
NARRATOR: According to
researchers, Teotihuacan's three
main pyramids were built in
precise alignment with the three
bright stars of the
Orion constellation.
And astonishingly, the smaller
structures along the broad
avenue were positioned to
represent our solar system.
VON DANIKEN: Teotihuacan has a
main road orientated north-south.
And on this main road, you have
different buildings, mostly pyramids.
Every building has the position of
one planet in our solar system.
And the distances between one
building and the next correspond
with the distances of the
planets in our solar system,
including the asteroid belt.
You see, in our solar system, we
have, in the center, the sun.
Then comes Mercury, Venus, Mars.
Between Mars and Jupiter
is the asteroid belt.
Then comes Uranus, Neptune,
Pluto, etcetera.
But the constructors of this
could not have known this.
Where does this knowledge come from?
CHILDRESS: When you look at
pyramids themselves, they are a
special geometric form.
In fact, the locations of many
of these pyramids can also be
mapped out into geometric
grid patterns on the Earth.
And you have to think that
whoever is guiding such a
precise network of pyramids
must have been a very advanced
culture, probably extraterrestrials.
NOORY: These are strange structures.
And if you look at them, you
just say, number one, how did
they build this with primitive
tools, if they had tools at all?
I think there's one of two things
going on here, on this planet.
Either Earth is very old and
life started much earlier and
human life started millions of
years before we think they did,
or there was some kind of
extraterrestrial help.
MARTELL: We seem to have
megalithic monuments and
information cross cultures
around the globe that seem to be
coming from some type
of outside source.
It goes back thousands of years.
We have artifacts, for instance,
in random places like Armenia.
There are actual reliefs of
what look like Grey aliens.
Sumer, modern-day Iraq, we find
figurines, little statues;
They look like Grey aliens.
The evidence that we see here
is that the Greys do exist.
NARRATOR: Does the discovery
of distant, possibly
life-sustaining planets, add
credence to the evidence of Grey
aliens in our recent and
prehistoric past, as Ancient
Astronaut theorists believe?
Perhaps further evidence can be
found in ancient stone carvings
of strange creatures
known as the Reptilians.
NARRATOR: Chichen Itza, Mexico...
Vijayangara, India...
and the Forbidden City in China.
All across the ancient world are
numerous pyramids and temples
dedicated to what ancient inhabitants
referred to as sky gods.
But is it possible, as some
Ancient Astronaut theorists
contend, that these so-called
sky gods were, in fact, another
form of Grey alien known
as the Reptilians?
TSOUKALOS: All throughout
Central and South America,
people worshiped this winged serpent.
But it gets even better, because
halfway around the world, in
ancient India, we find the
stories of flying snakes again.
They were very aware
that snakes cannot fly.
However, whatever it was that
they saw flying around in the
sky could best be described
as a winged serpent.
COPPENS: Whenever creatures
are being encountered, we are
going to look towards the animal
kingdom to find comparisons with
what we are seeing.
And basically what that suggests
is, really, that the creature
looks like us, but also has
some reptilian features.
And so, while we're looking
at creatures in modern UFO
mythology, specifically the
Greys, what you have is
interbreeding between
the Greys and reptiles.
NARRATOR: Some researchers
believe that, before settling on
primates, Grey aliens may have
viewed reptiles as Earth's
dominant life-form, one they could
exploit for reproductive purposes.
If so, might the Greys have
combined their genes with the
DNA of reptiles to create hybrid
reptilian creatures that, for a
while, coexisted with
early hominids on Earth?
And might this explain the numerous
ancient depictions of reptilian beings?
TSOUKALOS: In ancient
India, we have the Naga.
Half-man, half-snake.
It was allegedly a creation
by the god Vishnu or Krishna.
And who were these gods?
And according to the ancient
alien theory, the gods were
nothing else but genetic
products of extraterrestrials.
COPPENS: The Sheti are an interesting
subset of the Hopi tradition.
They are quite reptilian in
nature, as well, because they
are a species which
tend to go underground.
Now, when we make comparison to
the UFO folklore, we quite often
find or hear that some of these
entities prefer the underground
or live in underground bases.
NOORY: If you go back even
to the Biblical days, the
description of Satan
is somewhat reptilian.
It's very possible he was a
reptilian extraterrestrial and
that the human beings at the
time just interpreted that as
something from the heavens.
MARTELL: There are various
reports in South America.
Even in Asia, in China, we
have this similar reference of
reptilians and kings being
denoted as a dragon symbol...
so there must have been some
type of global influence that
took place from a reptilian source.
COPPENS: In ancient Chinese
culture, we have four Dragon
Kings, and they are the
deities of the sea.
And it is said that they had a
crystal palace underneath the ocean.
But it is not mythological in the
sense that it is completely invented.
Somehow these weird creatures
made contact with the early
Chinese and hence were
remembered in Chinese mythology.
MARTELL: Not only do they have
reptilian characteristics,
but supposedly they
could shape-shift...
actually become another
type of form of a body,
a human being...
alien versus human.
Now, a lot of these things
are hard for us to grasp and
understand, but throughout time,
there are reports of these
reptilian creatures having
amazing abilities, even the
ability to change their shape.
NARRATOR: Some researchers
have also theorized that
the Reptilians may have battled
hominids for domination of Earth...
resulting in near extinction
of the hybrid species...
and forcing survivors
to go underground.
MARTELL: It's clearly evidence
that ancient man were
witnessing things.
Whether it be extraterrestrials
visiting us, or beings that
lived maybe underground...
we don't know.
But there are clear references
of some type of advanced
humanoid reptilian being that
has influenced our cultures.
NARRATOR: Might such legends
and depictions of reptilian
serpents and dragons have
been prehistoric man's way of
documenting their encounters
with supernatural hybrid
creatures produced by Grey
aliens, as some Ancient
Astronaut theorists believe?
Perhaps the evidence may even
show that we are more closely
connected to the Greys
than ever imagined.
NARRATOR: Washington, DC.
The National Institute of Health.
Here, in 1990, scientists began
the Human Genome Project to
identify every gene in the human body
and determine what makes up our DNA.
This scientific breakthrough may
allow us to manipulate human
evolution and alter the human race.
But is it possible...
when we have become masters of human
evolution... that we may finally
understand the true nature of
Grey aliens?
DOLAN: When you look at the
physiology of what we think the
Greys are, okay...
large head, huge wrap-around eyes, spindly
body... you have to ask yourself,
does this make sense in an
evolutionary sense?
And the answer is no.
But does it make sense if these
beings are bio-engineered?
And the answer to that is yes.
That's what the Greys really, I
think, most realistically, are.
STORCH: I believe that
extraterrestrials found on
this planet a species that
they were able to change the
genetic code that would allow
them to interact and secure the
longevity of their species.
We're the product of that.
We're the genetic
carrier, if you will.
It's one of the reasons why
they're still abducting us.
That tweaking of the genetic
code is still going on.
The Greys are our space brothers.
I don't think they're
necessarily evil.
We're an ends to a means.
DENNIN: Could extraterrestrials
have bred with humans?
You sort of need two
things to have happened.
One is the life-form would have
had to be carbon-based like us,
presumably, because the
chemistry has to work.
The second thing is, you would
need, basically, the same
genetic-type structure.
So you could imagine, if there
was another planet with fairly
similar conditions, that gave
carbon-based life forms,
what would evolve, there is a
good likelihood that you would
get species like us.
And if they were close enough,
then, of course, they could
interbreed with humans on Earth.
MARTELL: Why would they be
creating a hybrid being?
Is there something that's gonna
happen here on Earth where our
genetic makeup maybe won't be
able to survive some type of
solar activity or something
that they needed to genetically
modify us so that we
can still survive?
Is it for our own good as
humans, or are they doing it
for their need as aliens?
NARRATOR: If Grey aliens
interbred with humans, might
their biology and appearance
be a reflection of their more
advanced evolution as a species?
And if so, might they provide a
hint of what humans may look
like in the distant future?
REDFERN: Even though the
Greys kind of look very
different to us, you know, the
larger heads, the smaller
bodies, the big black eyes, in
terms of evolution, you need
hands, you need fingers and thumbs...
you need eyes, you need
ears, you need a mouth.
You need to be able to
communicate because you would
need that type of form to really
advance yourself as a civilization.
DOLAN: When you're a super
technologically advanced race,
you don't really need big muscles.
You don't really need sex organs
if you're being genetically
engineered... biologically and
cybernetically, most likely... to
function in the capacity
that they do here.
A super-large head, for example,
houses a hell of a large brain,
easily their greatest asset.
It's a brain that allows them
to have a cognitive capacity,
probably, vastly beyond
what we're able to have.
It's a brain that allows them,
most likely, to have telepathic
capabilities that are beyond
the capability of most humans.
NOORY: I tend to subscribe to the
theory that we are in their image.
Sounds like the Book of
Genesis, doesn't it?
But it's very possible that
ET's who look like we do, or
should I say, we look like they
do, came here, did a little
manipulation, genetically
altered what was here on the
planet and created the Adam and
Eve, turned it into modern man,
and then left, for whatever reason.
STORCH: There is a missing link.
The missing link is ET.
They've changed our
genetic code eons ago.
And through a process of
evolution, you have the human
development to the point where
we're going into space.
Our evolutionary process is
a direct result of genetic
manipulation by ET.
NARRATOR: But could an alien
species such as the Greys really
travel to Earth from a star
system hundreds, or perhaps
thousands, of light-years away?
Or might the Greys actually be
time travelers from our own
future, as some Ancient
Astronaut theorists suggest?
MAGLIOCCO: What we have is a
whole shift in the imagination
in the 20th and 21st century.
Alien Greys are actually beings
from the future, who are
traveling in time to the present
time, which is their past.
And they have evolved into this
strange, hairless, greyish
bug-eyed form.
MARTELL: I have to wonder if
they're actually interdimensional.
I say this because the evidence
suggests they have the ability
to fold space and time
with their technology.
COPPENS: Once we're talking
about interdimensional beings,
and what we are finding is that,
today, ancient history and
future, I think, are all the same.
That also explains why there
are so many time anomalies
happening with these events.
MARTELL: So it's very possible
that they actually come
from a distant part of our future.
NARRATOR: Will we ever know
the truth about the Greys?
What is the secret to their
mysterious origin?
And why... if they exist...
do they appear to be so
interested in our world?
Are they here to study us?
To communicate with us?
Or are they really coming here
to warn us of our future?
