A star gate encoded in the
dome of our nation's Capitol...
Strange symbols found on our
most famous monuments...
And a mysterious flying disc
appearing in a painting
of George Washington.
What is the meaning behind
secret messages found throughout
our nation's capital?
And might there be more to America's
origins than we've been told?
For Benjamin Franklin,
belief in extraterrestrials
was part of a scientific
view of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
still remains as the highest
public official ever to make a
report of a UFO in American history.
We have to wonder if
extraterrestrials were
there monitoring our progress.
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 could extraterrestrial
forces have been behind
the founding of the
United States of America?
Washington, D.C.
July 19, 1952.
Tensions between the United
States and the Soviet Union
are at an all time high, fueled
by the Soviets' opposition to
American involvement
in the Korean w*r.
At this critical juncture,
an air traffic controller at
Washington National Airport
picks up seven strange objects
on his radar screen.
But he quickly determines the
aircraft are not Soviet military.
From the tower, they
were also able to see
very large bright lights,
moving very quickly
speeding away at very high
speeds, or simply disappearing.
They didn't just appear and go
they appeared over
the capitol building
Over the skies,
over the White House.
Over the Washington Monument
Fighter jets are scrambled
to intercept the strange objects.
But as the jets close in, all
seven suddenly disappear.
Some Air Force officers
reported that airmen
had tried to sh**t down UFOs but
had not been able to because the
UFOs were able to fly
faster than our aircraft.
Days after the breach
of capital airspace,
Major General John Samford,
Director of lntelligence for the
United States Air Force,
addressed the issue at a
Pentagon press conference.
We have received and analyzed
between 1,000 and 2,000 reports.
There have been a certain
percentage that have been made
by credible observers of
relatively incredible things.
Washington is capital
of the United States.
So the point was to demonstrate
at the height of of the Cold
w*r, that they were a
power greater than us.
It's sometimes thought
that during periods
of political upheaval and
turning points and history
that these extraterrestrials
suddenly show up
What were these strange
lights that penetrated
the airspace of the U.S. capital?
Could they have been, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
alien craft-- sent here to
monitor this turning
point in our history?
If so, even as far back as the founding
of the United States of America?
Just prior to the
Revolutionary w*r, what a lot
of the scientists would do at
that time was meet once a month
during the full moon, and they
called themselves
the Lunar Society.
And Benjamin Franklin and Thomas
Jefferson were part of all this.
And they would meet to discuss
new scientific ideas, life on
other planets, and how they
could create a United States
that was different
from other countries.
On July 4, 1776--
in the midst of the American
Revolution-- the colonies formally
severed their ties to England.
The men behind the movement--
the Founding Fathers-- had
risked, in the words of the
Declaration of Independence,
"their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor" on an ideal
and now looked to create, not just
a new nation, but a new world.
But unlike the monarchies
of Europe and Asia, the new
American government would
eventually be based on the
ancient philosophies
of Greece and Rome.
When it took you four days to get
from Virginia to New York
in the middle of the night,
with their kerosene
lamps and their candles
they read the ancient Greek classics
how did they found United States.
on principles of the ancient world.
Having a bunch of men, geniuses
on their own right at all levels
gathered at one point
in time to try to
come up with a new experiment
for humanity and it is extraordinary.
The Romans used
to call it Fortuna.
Or in other words, when the
gods conspire on your behalf.
After the w*r, on July
16th, 1790, plans were
announced for the construction
of a national capital to be
built on the banks of
the Potomac River.
Named after George Washington,
the new nation's first president,
it would be designed
to resemble classic
Greco-Roman architecture.
But why?
What was the reason behind the
Founding Fathers' near-obsession
with the ancient world?
In the 5th century,
4th century B.C
there was a very active debate
in regard with the question
of extraterrestrial life, ***,
being Democrates and ***,
Epicurus and Lucretius
all believed in the plurality of worlds,
they all believed in extraterrestrial life.
For the Founding Fathers, this
idea of the plurality of worlds,
was well-known as one of the
cornerstones of ancient philosophy.
One that was finding greater popularity
what was known in the 18th century
as the Age of Enlightenment
The Enlightenment
was a social movement
that said we should look at
the universe in a rational way.
And that was the hub of
the wheel, so to speak.
And from that hub,
many spokes came out.
You had a concern with science,
and you had belief in
the plurality of worlds, which
seemed scientifically plausible.
The Enlightenment
figures, at least half--
including scientists, political
theorists, philosophers,
literary people-- talked about
extraterrestrials in their writings.
It was very widespread
in 18th century thought.
Even one of the most
prominent astronomers of
the time, William Herschel,
believed that intelligent life
existed elsewhere in the universe.
His claim to fame is he
discovered the planet Uranus
he also discovered a couple
of moons of Jupiter,
a couple of moons of Saturn
and he build hundreds of telescopes,
including the largest one of its age.
It's a 40 inch reflecting telescope,
this is an enormous instrument
anywhere in the world, at that time.
So he now has the ability to
observe all sorts of
wonders of the universe
So now the idea of
the plurality of worlds,
gains credence with this
particular scientist and observer.
Regularly in his writings
about the planets, he
referred to the inhabitants
of Jupiter, Saturn or Uranus.
Herschel was instrumental
in furthering the
debate about the possibility
of extraterrestrial life.
But perhaps most influential
of all was Benjamin Franklin.
Ben Franklin has been
called the first American.
He was an author
and a printer.
He was a scientist
and an inventor,
and also a politician
and a statesman.
He was a profound thinker
and an intellectual.
For Benjamin Franklin, a belief
in extraterrestrials was part of
a scientific view of the world.
One way Franklin used
to disseminate his thoughts
on extraterrestrial life was
in his own publication,
the immensely popular
Poor Richard's Almanac.
In Poor Richard's Almanac,
well, he suggests
that it's the opinion
of scientists that other planets
are habitable, that there
are beings on there.
And he presents this in a
sort of a matter of fact way
it's kind of surprising, I think,
probably even to most of the historians
the way this seems to be something
which he takes for granted,
it's just assumed that way.
In 1728, Benjamin
Franklin wrote, "I believe that
man is not the most
perfect being, but one.
So there are many degrees of
"beings superior to him."
Franklin essentially suggested
that extraterrestrial life exists.
But the ancient philosophers
were not the only
influence on the Founding
Fathers' growing openness to the
idea of extraterrestrial life.
The Native Americans
they encountered
not only shared the
belief that life exists
throughout the universe,
but even believed they were the
descendants of extraterrestrials.
Benjamin Franklin was deeply
interested in the star
legends of the native americans
He was deeply connected with the
legends of the Iroquois, confederacy
Franklin's indian
treaties were pamphlets
that he published from
the 1730s to the 1760s
they frequently recorded
explanations of native culture
One of Franklin's
best-selling pamphlets
chronicled the Iroquois creation
story of the Sky Woman.
Before Earth really became
what it is today, there
were beings that were similar
to us living in the sky.
One day, a young woman-- Sky
Woman, as she is to become--
became pregnant.
She is to go down
to the world below.
So this extraterrestrial
that lived in the sky, she
comes down, and then
the human race begins.
Did America's Founding
Fathers really believe
in the possibility of life
on other planets?
And if so, was their belief
based not only on scientific
and philosophical principles,
but on firsthand experiences
with extraterrestrials?
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe that such a notion is
not only possible, but that the
evidence exists in a firsthand
account from one of George
Washington's closest aides,
and his recollection of a
strange, close encounter on
a cold winter night
at Valley Forge.
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
Winter, 1777.
It is the height of the
American Revolutionary w*r.
After several bloody battles
against superior British forces,
George Washington's
army is in tatters.
Valley Forge is the winter
encampment of the Continental Army
the army which is set by the
nation to fight the revolution
The British had taken Philadelphia,
washing on the sides
he is gonna headquarter some 12,000
troops were outside of Philadelphia.
This is the darkest time
of the American Revolution
when people thought that the United
States was really not going to win
Washington is trying to
figure out what he's going
to do, and trying to
keep the army together.
There's very little money.
There's almost no supplies.
They often don't have shoes.
Lots of stories of things like
bloody footprints in the snow.
So severe were the conditions
that Washington wrote,
"Unless some great and
capital change suddenly takes place,
this army must inevitably
starve, dissolve or disperse."
But ultimately Washington's
will to remain at Valley Forge
forced the British to retreat
and proved to be a turning
point in the w*r.
What was it that sustained
Washington in these dark hours?
Some believe it was a strange
vision he received during a
moment of prayer.
In a moment of absolute misery
he went off into the woods to pray.
And there in the forest, he had
this magnificent vision of a
creature garbed in white.
And this creature, call
it an extraterrestrial
call it a heavenly spirit, but it was
an otherworldly presence--
laid out for Washington
the victory that
the Continental Army would have
in the Revolutionary w*r against
the British, and laid out the
history of the new United
States of America.
He sees a map of the
United States, and rain
drops onto this map, and cities
are popping up throughout
the entire country.
A model of how the United States would
look in 100 or 200 years in the future
Now, how do we know this?
We know this because an aide to
General Washington lived to be
over 100 years old, told this
story to a newspaper of our
first general having
an alien encounter.
Could George Washington
really have had
an extraterrestrial
visitation at Valley Forge?
Or was this just a story he
told to build up morale?
Ancient astronaut theorists
claim to have also uncovered
evidence that throughout the
Revolutionary w*r, George
Washington himself may have
unknowingly come in direct
contact with extraterrestrials.
One of the strangest stories
about George Washington
which allegedly comes
from diaries that he kept
that Washington would
meet occasionally
with these mysterious people
he called "Green Skins."
Washington sees a green
glowing ball hovering in
the tree line, and out of this,
Washington sees these small figures.
What were they?
Were they, as Washington thought
they might have been, small
Native Americans in w*r paint?
One theory is that these were
extraterrestrials, observing
this cataclysmic event.
George Washington's vision at Valley
Forge during the Revolutionary w*r
is just one of the examples of a
great many stories we have
about miraculous visions
and apparitions
during times of w*r and bloodshed.
Some people believe that
it's during these crucial times
in human history that perhaps
aliens would be most interested
in interacting with us.
Did George Washington really encounter
green-skinned visitors and witnessed
glowing orbs at Valley Forge?
And, if so, might there be
additional evidence of alien
encounters with other
Founding Fathers?
April 5th, 1800.
The city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Astronomer William Dunbar
reports to then Vice President
Jefferson that he witnessed
a bright glowing light
the size of a large house
hovering 200 yards above ground.
It was quite bright, radiated
a tremendous amount of
heat and crashed not so far away.
It destroyed that whole
area where it crashed
However, given the supposed size
and speed with which the object
was moving, it didn't seem
to create a crater of a size
of what it would have been
appropriate for an object like that.
The details of the
sighting report make it
impossible that it could have
been a meteor; it wasn't moving
fast enough to be a meteor.
It was something unexplained,
something very unusual.
And Jefferson took this
report very seriously.
He passed this report on as he
would pass on any other account
of a scientific discovery
or a natural observation.
Jefferson was so impressed
by the account that
Jefferson, Vice President of the
United States, presented this to
the American Philosophical Society.
So who was this American
Philosophical Society, anyway?
Well, it was founded by Benjamin
Franklin in Philadelphia, and it
really was the intellectual
cognoscenti of America at that time.
So here we have some of the
greatest thinkers here in the
United States, all pooled
together in one group that could
write research papers, write
philosophical papers, examine
all sorts of phenomena from
a scientific point of view.
It's no coincidence that Thomas
Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin
both believed in
extraterrestrial life.
They were men of science, they
were astronomers who studied
weather patterns.
And their belief in
extraterrestrials was part of
their scientific view of the
world and of the universe.
For Thomas Jefferson
to report a UFO sighting still
remains the highest public
official ever to make a report
of a UFO in American history.
George Washington's
close encounter
with an otherworldly being...
Thomas Jefferson reporting
a UFO sighting...
could these incidents suggest that
the Founding Fathers not only
believed in the existence of
extraterrestrials, but actually
encountered them?
Perhaps the answer can be found
hidden in the symbols and codes
of a secret society, one to
which Washington himself
was a member.
Fredricksburg, Virginia.
1752.
20-year-old George Washington is
initiated into a secret society:
the Freemasons.
Among his fellow members are
many other Founding Fathers,
like Benjamin Franklin, John
Hancock and Paul Revere.
But what is Freemasonry?
What role did it play in the
founding of the United States?
And what meanings lie behind
their many mysterious symbols?
There are a lot of theories about
the true origins of Freemasonry.
What we know for a fact is that definitely
with the age of the Renaissance
this is when people decided to
start studying ancient civilizations.
And see was there any
knowledge in those
civilizations that was lost?
According to experts, the
Freemasons believed in the idea
of acquiring knowledge
through largely scientific
as well as spiritual means.
In the age of Enlightenment,
this included the possibility
of extraterrestrial life.
Freemason was like main vehicle,
if you want, that brought
these ideas and principles of the
Enlightenment to the new world.
You have the most prominent
citizens of the community
becoming freemasons and then
associating with one another.
They would be discussing the
major issues of the day
and certainly the speculations
about the plurality of worlds.
Could the growing
belief in the possibility of
extraterrestrial life have
influenced the Founding Fathers'
vision for America?
In terms of the Declaration
of Independence,
there were 56 signers.
Of those, nine were
definitely Freemasons.
Concerning the signers of the
Constitution, there were 39
signers, 13 of them-- a clear
third-- were Freemasons.
But does the influence of Freemasonry
explain why Masonic values are woven
into the principles behind America's
most important documents?
And could this also explain how
and why Masonic symbols can be
found on much of the nation's
monuments and architecture?
In the design of Washington,
the language of
symbols is very important, and
that's where we see
connections with Freemasonry.
The original universal symbol of
Freemasonry is the
square and compass.
The compass is the main
tool of the individual.
You are at the point, and the
idea in Freemasonry is that the
individual is sovereign.
You draw a circle, using
the compass, around you.
If you go beyond the perimeter,
that's when you start to go into
knowledge and light.
The square is considered
a symbol of wisdom.
And the letter "G" stands for
the grand architect of the universe.
People have to wonder
whether Franklin's
beliefs about the plurality of
worlds somehow made their way
into Masonic symbolism.
The same people who were
involved in the development
of Freemasonry were very
interested in Egypt.
They were inspired by the
idea of ancient wisdom.
Other Masonic symbols
found in Washington D.C.
are eerily similar to
the icons of ancient Egypt--
the sphinx, the obelisk, the pyramid
and the All-Seeing Eye.
If you were to pull out
a dollar bill right now
and look at it, you would see
that on one side is a depiction
of the Great Pyramid of Egypt with
an all-seeing eye at its apex.
This is the Great Seal of the United
States and it's an awesome
mystical symbol of the
Eye of God watching us
and also how ancient civilizations
were divine in nature.
And that the Founding Fathers
were to recreate that here
in the United States.
The idea is we need a source of light
in order to help us
become enlightened.
We cannot do it alone.
Now that to the Founding Fathers
is whatever is out there
that is keeping an eye.
And there is a belief that this
experiment did not just happen.
It was necessary to help the human
condition make a major leap.
It's like the alignment of the stars,
providence was there,
watching and interacting.
Why did this group of 18th-century men
who set out to build a nation
based on principles of
logic and reason attach such
importance to pre-Christian
symbols and ancient mysticism?
And who-- or what-- did they
believe was watching over them?
God? Or something else?
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, the answer can be
found in an 1866 lithograph of
George Washington that resides
in the Library of Congress.
There's a famous painting of
George Washington as a Freemason.
And over his right shoulder is
an unusual scene of Jacob's
Ladder ascending to Heaven and
what seems to be some kind of
spaceship there in the sky.
In the biblical story of
Jacob from Genesis 28th,
Jacob witnesses angels ascending
and descending a ladder from Heaven.
But in this painting, the ladder
comes not from Heaven, but out
of a dark, round object
emitting multi-colored lights.
Although Jacob's Ladder is a
popular symbol of Freemasonry,
is it possible that this image
is attempting to depict something else?
Something of an
extraterrestrial origin?
According to the ancient
astronaut ideas, Jacob's ladder
was nothing else but a ramp or a device
with which to reach the realm of the gods.
And the gods were extraterrestrials.
The square and compass...
the All-Seeing Eye...
Jacob's Ladder.
What do all these symbols reveal
about the true origins of the
United States of America?
Ancient astronaut theorists don't
only point to the presence
of Masonic symbols and
pre-Christian influences as
evidence of the Founding Fathers'
extraterrestrial connections.
They also find proof in the fact
that even the very layout of
Washington D.C. points to the stars.
Alexandria, Virginia.
00:29:51,692 --> 00:29:53,592
In a full Masonic ceremony on
the edge of the Potomac River,
George Washington lays the first
cornerstone marking the southern
boundary for what will become
the District of Columbia.
What happens in the
laying of the cornerstone?
Washington scattered corn.
You pour wine and pour oil.
Now, corn stands for prosperity,
oil stands for peace,
and wine stands for happiness.
You have Masons
chanting in response to it.
You have an oration afterwards in which
artilleries fire during the duration.
So it's an extraordinary ceremony.
According to scholars,
the nation's capital
has been steeped in ancient
symbolism since its inception.
And ancient astronaut theorists
point to the city's tallest
structure, the Washington
Monument, as proof that the
American capital was built with
a deliberate eye to the stars.
Although construction began in
1848, nearly 50 years after
George Washington's death,
the Freemasons built the
Egyptian-style monument so that
the constellation Pleiades would
be visible directly
over the giant obelisk.
The Pleiades is a group
of seven bright stars
For the egyptians, they would use
these stars as a way to figure out
all sorts of judgments that needed
to be made in many different things
I find it fascinating
that in the ancient world
in places of great power
and great influence
they built monuments
aligned with the Pleiades
So the fact that we find the
Washington Monument also
aligning with the Pleiades...
is that coincidence?
In a city largely built
to evoke ancient cities
like Athens and Rome, is the
dominant architectural structure
based on an icon of ancient Egypt?
It is the largest obelisk
in the world, 555 ft high.
It draws the eye and
it draws the eye up,
We have to ask, what did the
Founding Fathers want us to see?
The idea of the obelisk
is that it's frozen sunlight.
They believed that the energy
of the God Ra literally came
through that antenna.
The same concept is shown
here in Washington D.C,
with the Obelisk, sitting in
the center of Washington
or near the center of Washington,
bring in that energy from the stars
and radiating it out
to the sacred precinct
They have a reflecting pool-- why?
To reflect the obelisk.
Washington's Monument
points to the Heavens.
With the reflecting
pool, it points below.
There is a direct correlation
between what happens here below
and what's happening up there.
For ancient astronaut
theorists, it's not
just the placement of the
Washington Monument and the
Capitol Building that point to
the stars, but the layout of the
entire city, which harkens back
to ancient places like Egypt,
Greece and Rome.
Washington D.C.
is laid out in perfectly straight
lines, radiating from different
little hubs around the city.
They converge on places
like the Capitol Building,
the White House.
It is a revelation of clarity
that highlights the cornerstones
of American democracy.
Washington D.C.
was conceived from the very
beginning as a sacred space.
In fact, it is a ten-by-ten
square-mile diamond matrix into
which the Founding Fathers
believed they could pour all
their Enlightenment teachings
and bring them to life within
its Capitols and its other buildings.
Another Freemason,
Pierre Charles L'Enfant, was
selected by President Washington
to create a layout of the city
within the ten-mile diamond
of the District of Columbia.
He began by aligning the corners
of the square with the four
north, south, east and west.
It is not by coincidence.
There is a scientific rational
way of developing the
city of Washington with
geometric shapes-- circles,
rectangles, triangles-- and this
is to emphasize that this new
form of government was not
going to rely on religion...
but we're going to rely on
reason and scientific discovery.
And the design of the
city reflects that.
And there is absolutely no other
capital city in the world that
was designed like this.
There is no question that
the main triangle at the
heart of the city was very key,
and connecting the Capitol to
the White House, and then
to the Washington Monument.
Some historians believe
the triangle found
in the center of Washington D.C.
represent the Masonic
symbol of the square and
compass, symbolizing the
Founding Fathers' search for
enlightenment from above.
But ancient astronaut theorists
claim beyond this triangle lies
an even more significant
geometric shape--
the shape of pentagram.
The interesting thing about Jefferson's
design's of Washington D.C,
was the star.
With rows emanating in all
directions from the star that
seemed to be a mirror of the
heavens, because Jefferson did
believe that the heavens were
inhabited, and he wanted
Washington D.C., not just to be
the capital of the United States
of America, but the
capital of the universe.
George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson were both
expert surveyors and mapmakers,
and were hands on in the layout
and design of the new capital.
George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson, who
was an architect that built
Monticello, laid out Washington
D.C. with the expectation
that somehow, if there were
extraterrestrials, they would see
the image of the star at the
center of the city, and know
this was a sign that we
respected extraterrestrial life.
Did the design and placement
of the Washington
Monument, Capitol Hill and the
National Mall really reflect the
Founding Fathers' belief in
extraterrestrial forces?
Perhaps the answer can be found
by a close examination of the
Capitol Building itself, and
the strange connection to other
worlds that can be found inside.
Washington D.C.,
1791.
Jenkins Hill.
Pierre L'Enfant declares this location
"a pedestal waiting for a monument."
For the next two years,
he works closely with
George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson, designing the
building that will sit at the
top of this hill and house the
United States Congress.
On September 18, 1793, the
day of the Autumn Equinox,
Washington lays the cornerstone
for the Capitol Building, and
Jenkins Hill officially becomes
Capitol Hill, the heart
of the new democracy.
The concept of the
ancient and sacred hill
was deeply in the minds
of the Founding Fathers.
In Boston we have high hills
that were important.
We have Monticello being built
on a hill, we have Capitol Hill.
So the Founding Fathers clearly
understood the importance of the
Temple Mount concept.
But was the design
and placement of the Capitol
Building directly influenced
by Washington and Jefferson's
reported contact with alien beings?
Ancient astronaut theorists point
to evidence in the form of
the statue that still sits
atop the Capitol Dome,
placed there after the current
dome was completed in 1866.
The Freedom Statue is
a 19-and-a-half-foot-tall
statue of a goddess who actually
is morphing into an eagle.
This is very important in
ancient alien theory,
because the ancient gods were
portrayed as eagle-headed.
So it looks like freedom is being
referenced here as a star being.
Inside the dome,
directly in line with the
Freedom Statue, is an empty tomb
that had been designed to hold
the remains of George Washington.
One floor above it is the crypt,
then the Capitol Rotunda, and
soaring 180 feet above
that is a painting of
Washington, looking very
much like an ancient god.
If one goes to the Capitol Rotunda
and looks at the artwork on the ceiling
you see what is called the
"apotheosis" of Washington.
It's an enormous painting
that depicts Washington
in a very interesting setting.
The painting was completed
by Constantino Brumidi in 1865.
The word "apotheosis" is a Greek
word that means to deify, to
raise from a man to a god man.
You see him depicted as
you would see a god depicted.
He sits in a setting of clouds
with what look like angels
immediately surrounding him,
with a big rainbow that runs
right underneath his feet.
When we're in the Rotunda,
the dome of the U.S. Capitol,
we are literally in
a vortex of energy.
Domes are places where
Heaven and Earth meet.
They literally are considered to
be portals or gateways to the stars.
There is another depiction
of Washington that
specifically represents
him as a divine figure.
Congress authorized
an incredible statue
of George Washington by ***
in which he is depicted
as Zeus or Jupiter.
The statue had several key
features that identified him
as a man of peace and a
conductor of Heaven and Earth.
His sword is offered to the
viewer of the statue, indicating
he's here in peace.
And then on the sides of the
statue you have a very important
representation of the god Apollo
riding his sun chariot or star chariot.
So the idea that we get from all
of this is that Washington is a
cosmic being who is riding
through the Heavens on
his own star chariot.
Could the symbols, monuments
and alignments found
throughout Washington D.C.
be evidence that the Founding
Fathers actually believed
otherworldly beings were
instrumental if the new American
experiment in government
were to survive and prosper?
Was their interest in the stars,
and their belief in the
possibility that intelligent
life exists elsewhere in the
universe, based on the ideas of
the Enlightenment, or actual
close encounters?
We've gone from Benjamin
Franklin's electricity experiments
to space travel in less than 250 years,
and it's brought about really
vast changes in American society
But what hasn't changed is that
desire to know more about space
and that desire to find out is
there really life
outside of our planet?
Not only is the Founding
Fathers' belief in
the plurality of worlds alive
today, it also is being pursued
scientifically in a way that
they had no capability to do.
And this is a concept that has
been considered ever since the
first person looked up at the
night sky and wondered about
what's out there.
Did George Washington
receive some secret
knowledge at Valley Forge that
guided him in the founding of
the United States?
Did he share this information
with other Founding Fathers,
like Thomas Jefferson
and Benjamin Franklin?
And did they, in turn, pass this
knowledge down to the men who
followed them?
If extraterrestrials really were
present during the founding of
the United States, did they
come here to watch over us?
Was there some ultimate plan?
And if so, will they
return once more?
