Volcanic eruptions...
It will cover the sun for years.
Devastating earthquakes
and tsunamis...
And it's possible the
extraterrestrials themselves are
influencing some of these events.
And asteroids smashing the Earth,
causing massive extinctions.
What you're seeing is that
this is done on purpose.
Have the world's worst
global disasters been the
result of nature's fury?
Or have they been triggered
by more supernatural forces?
I don't think we can rule out
the idea that this is the work
of highly advanced,
technological aliens seeking to
obliterate the human race.
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 there be an
extraterrestrial connection to
some of the world's mega-disasters?
Japan.
Friday, March 11, 2011.
43 miles off the northeast
coast, a massive 8.9 magnitude
earthquake produces an expl*sive
upheaval of the seafloor.
200 miles away, in Tokyo,
buildings shake violently.
Within half an hour of the
earthquake, a powerful 30-foot
tsunami strikes the
northern coast of Japan...
and sweeps across the
landscape, reaching six miles
inland, destroying
everything in its path.
Local officials estimate that
over 19,000 lives were lost in
the rapidly rising tide.
Tsunamis are basically
the name for a giant
sea wave that's fairly coherent,
has a lot of energy and will
travel over a large distance.
And it's really a matter of
scale more than anything else.
It's huge enough to cause huge amounts
of damage when it hits the shore.
These have to be generated by a
large pulse of energy being put
into the ocean.
And the most common source of
that is a massive earthquake
under the ocean floor.
They're used to
earthquakes in this part
of the world, but the fact that
they had such little time, they
just couldn't get away from it.
So you can be a very
sophisticated, first-world,
developed country, you can be a
superpower, and still have these
kind of mega-disasters come your way.
According to Japan's
Kyodo News Agency, in
the days following the
devastation, thousands of UFO's
were sighted over Japan.
If true, what might this mean?
It's interesting to note that when
the tsunami occurred, there was
suddenly an increase of UFO
sightings in that area of Japan.
So you have to think, well,
are the extraterrestrials
particularly interested in
what happens to us in certain
catastrophes and life-changing
events that are occurring on
this planet?
And it's possible the
extraterrestrials themselves are
influencing some of these events.
But is it really possible,
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe, that
otherworldly forces could
provoke such deadly disasters?
Crete.
Located in the middle of the
Mediterranean Sea, it is the
largest of the Greek Islands.
Here, in 365 AD, this once-
quiet province of the Byzantine
Empire was destroyed by a
devastating underwater
earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
According to Roman historians,
the tsunami also hit Alexandria,
Egypt, and other cities along the
Mediterranean coast, causing
great destruction.
The Crete earthquake
of 365 was one of the
great natural disasters of
the Mediterranean world.
So this was an earthquake that was
probably an eight on the Richter scale.
So it was very large.
It produced a tsunami, and it raised
the isle of Crete by nine meters.
So it was an extraordinary event.
The ancient Greeks attributed
earthquakes to the
god of the sea, Poseidon.
According to Greek myths,
Poseidon was known as the "Earth
Shaker" because of his power to
provoke earthquakes, sea storms
and tidal waves.
Ancient peoples would have
ascribed natural disasters
to the gods... as a really
logical answer, because at first
these events are deadly,
so their lives depend upon
trying to appease or please
gods who control those things.
Crete was said to be
the home of the gods.
There are caves today in Crete
which we can visit which are
identified as being the place
where Zeus was raised from
a baby to an infant.
And so when you find that
something is happening in Crete
in early Christian times, you
really have to ask whether this
is somehow going to change
the future of mankind.
This may be the wrath of
Poseidon, because what
was happening at that time was
the early Christians were
struggling against a
resurgence of paganism...
and that tsunami came...
to destroy, finally, all the
pagan religion in the area.
And so, modern Christianity
became dominant.
But was the god Poseidon merely
a figure of myth and legend?
Or might this supernatural being
have had a more otherworldly
origin, as ancient astronaut
theorists believe.
Poseidon was always
depicted as holding this
w*apon or instrument, his trident.
And this trident could cause
earthquakes and tsunamis.
He could control the
oceans with his trident.
You have to wonder if this
trident wasn't some high-tech,
extraterrestrial device.
The weapons used by
these Greek gods can be
compared in some ways
to modern weaponry.
It's interesting that the United
States Navy developed nuclear
missiles for its submarines with the
names "Poseidon" and "Trident."
Perhaps this was Poseidon
carrying out some sort
of wrath on ancient Crete for
finally rejecting him as a god.
Is it really possible
that mega-disasters
caused by earthquakes and
tsunamis could be triggered by
alien technology, as some ancient
astronaut theorists believe?
And if so, might such
catastrophic events have been
provoked to change the
course of human history?
Perhaps further evidence can be
found in modern military technology
designed to use the weather as
a w*apon of mass destruction.
Haiti, January 12, 2010.
At 4:53 p.m., a fierce 7.0
magnitude earthquake slams into
the Haitian capital of Port Au
Prince, causing massive destruction.
It is the country's most severe
earthquake in over 200 years.
An earthquake that doesn't affect
anyone is a natural hazard.
When that natural hazard makes
landfall, and affects a
population, that is when it
becomes a natural disaster.
When it's a huge system that
affects a lot of people with
death and destruction, then
we term it a mega-disaster.
According to local news
reports, missionaries in
Haiti videotaped a strange ball
of light floating in the sky,
less than 24 hours
before the earthquake.
UFOs have been reported throughout
history, connected to earthquakes.
Scientists used to disregard
the idea of earthquake lights
up until the 1960s, when they were
actually photographed in Japan.
Finally, they had to take
notice that, yeah, there
are strange aerial phenomena
that go along with earthquakes.
Often referred to as
earthquake weather,
scientists have linked this
strange phenomena to the
geophysical activity that
precedes an earthquake.
Earthquakes are basically
when the plates on the
surface of the Earth move
relative to each other in a
sudden fashion.
This sudden motion
releases a lot of energy.
If they were simply tectonic
plates that gave off
light, for example, a
discharge into the air, they
would burn out pretty quickly.
But we are talking about bright
lights that hover and linger.
Could the sudden discharge
of immense energy
really have produced strange
lights in the skies above
earthquake zones?
Or might the lights and the
apparent natural disasters
have had a more technological origin?
In 1996, the United States Air
Force commissioned a secret
study called the "2025 Report."
In it, the military examined
the feasibility of combat
capabilities and tactics
in the year 2025.
One of the areas that
was seen as ripe for
research, exploitation,
and development, was the
modification of the weather
as a tool of warfare.
People might think the idea that
we can weaponize the weather is
something just straight
out of science fiction.
The idea that we could pulverize
whole nations just by
modifying and exploiting
the weather, and this is a
verifiable report that is
now in the public domain.
So we do know that government
and military bodies are
significantly researching
weaponizing the weather.
Well, one of the big
advantages of using weather
as a w*apon is that it's really
difficult to prove who att*cked you.
The other thing is that weather
itself can cause a heck of a lot
more damage than weapons can.
You could have, for instance, a
powerful thunderstorm that could
go all the way across the U.S.
and cause basically nuclear-
level destruction all the way
across a huge swath.
There have been many
attempts to control the weather
during warfare, and one of the
most famous attempts was in
Vietnam.
In which there was a real effort
to seed the clouds over the
Ho Chi Minh Trail, and
create torrential rains.
By flooding the North Vietnamese
and Viet Cong supply lines, it
would reduce their utility and
choke off supplies to guerillas
in the south.
So, certainly we've had
success in seeding clouds.
If the weather can be
manipulated by the military
to produce powerful storms, and
even catastrophes, is this only
a recent innovation, or is there
evidence of the weaponized use
of weather in the ancient past?
Tales of a great flood
destroying the world can be
found in the earliest myths of
many ancient cultures across the globe.
Both the Hebrew Bible and the
Islamic Koran describe an epic
flood in the tale of Noah's Ark.
God was unhappy with the people for
their sinful ways, and as a kind
of punishment and also an act of
purification, sent the Great Deluge.
Most living things would die in
this except for a few birds and fish,
but he told Noah very
specifically how to build a
craft that could survive the storm.
Noah is to collect pairs
of the air-breathing
animals on Earth, and he packs
these animals and his family
into the ark, and then it rains
for 40 days and 40 nights
and floods the entire Earth.
And all air-breathing animals
and people are k*lled.
In Ancient Mesopotamia, a similar
story of a catastrophic flood
was chiseled into clay
tablets dating to 2,000 BC.
Known as the "Epic of Gilgamesh",
this early Sumerian
poem describes angry gods that
send a great flood to destroy
mankind while allowing only
a chosen few to survive.
The gods had created
humanity to perform whatever
labor they were supposed to do,
but what happened was, according
to the old Mesopotamian stories,
human beings just started
causing too much trouble.
They became noisy.
They became rebellious.
And it was just time to wipe them out.
And that's actually what's reported
in those old creation stories.
But did such stories of great floods
engulfing the world merely
spring from man's imagination,
or were they real?
If so, might such devastation
have had an otherworldly origin,
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
If the human race in the
early 21st century is now
weaponizing the weather, why
shouldn't aliens from some
faraway world have
already developed it?
If ancient aliens were able to
weaponize the weather, then I
don't think we can rule out the
idea that possibly some of these
great ancient floods may not
have been the work of gods, but
could have been the work of
highly-advanced technological
aliens actually seeking to potentially
obliterate the human race.
There are more than a
thousand different
flood myths from cultures all
around the world, and the
tendency has been for
archeologists to say that
that's simply because people's
fantasies work in the same way.
But I honestly think there's a
much simpler explanation for why
the flood myth is so universal.
I think it's a memory of what
happened at the end of the Ice Age.
What's much more mysterious is
that coupled with these memories
of global devastation, there are
also memories of almost godlike
beings with incredible powers and
abilities who were caught up
in that cataclysm.
The deluge stories are
really very interesting.
What they all say is that the
angels, the gods, whatever we
want to call them today...
they basically just got tired of
humanity, where there's a wanton
intention to wipe out, or thin
out, the human race.
Right there we have a perfect example
that maybe the extraterrestrials
were unhappy with h*m* sapiens,
and it is possible that they
then created some type of a
catastrophe, some flood
to eliminate mankind.
But it's also possible that
benevolent extraterrestrials
warned us about an impending
catastrophe so that not everyone
would be destroyed.
Could the mythic floods
of the ancient past
really have been the result of
extraterrestrial influence?
Or is it possible, as some
ancient astronaut theorists
contend, that aliens may have
actually helped mankind survive
nature's fury?
Perhaps further evidence can be
found near one of Earth's most
dangerous places... active volcanoes.
The Republic of Indonesia,
Southeast Asia.
This archipelago, encompassing
over 17,000 islands, is home to
129 active volcanoes.
Here, in April 1815, the Mount
Tambora volcano exploded in a
cataclysm of fire, smoke and ash.
The amount of material
discharged into the atmosphere...
estimated to have been 120 cubic
tons, makes the event the
largest volcanic eruption
in recorded history.
With a death toll of nearly
71,000 people, it was the
world's deadliest eruption.
It had quite an effect worldwide.
The year of 1816 was known as
the year without a summer.
And the reason is because very
large volcanic eruptions inject
a lot of ash and aerosols in
the atmosphere, and they can
actually lower the global
average temperature.
A volcano on its own is not
the disaster, but when it
erupts and affects large groups
of people, it certainly is.
And volcanic eruptions have k*lled
millions of people over time.
According to local religious
traditions, volcanoes
are considered sacred.
And the Mount Tambora eruption
is thought to have been the work
of the gods.
But why?
Researchers believe answers can
be found near the most volatile
volcano in Indonesia today...
Mount Merapi... a site believed
by Java mysticism to be
the center of the world.
Strangely, this revered volcano
is located just 29 miles from a
mysterious ancient Buddhist
temple called Borobudur.
Whenever we are confronted
with certain temple
sites, some of them are obviously
more interesting than others.
But in this case, we have a very
interesting location, because it
is said that this mountain is
the center of the universe.
And you will always find that
this is linked somehow in
mythology with the ascent or the
descent of a very important god,
sometimes a creator
deity or somebody else.
Built during the eighth
and ninth centuries, the
Borobudur temple was designed in
the form of a stepped pyramid,
and features a large round dome
on top, encircled by 72 statues
of Buddha, each seated in a
bell-shaped enclosure called a stupa.
Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe,
that the temple and stupas were
built to honor otherworldly
beings and their spacecraft that
arrived at Mount Merapi in the
ancient past?
There is no question
that Borobudur was a
place of pilgrimage that was
built only because something
significant happened in the remote
past, in that specific area.
The volcano was so huge for
them, so incomprehensible, that
they, over time, built stupas,
all directed to the sky.
Because each stupa, on that
complex, represents a chariot of
the gods, with which to
actually reach outer space.
This is a very specific
shape for a temple.
It's almost as if it is a
flat-topped pyramid with
something sticking on top there,
as if something has landed.
And then the question is, why did
they construct it so specifically?
Was it something which was
visually remembering as to what
had happened there, or what was still
happening on a regular interval?
All over the world,
volcanoes often have some
god associated with them who's
controlling the volcano, causing
earthquakes, causing
devastating eruptions.
And in fact, in Indonesia, the
people there believe that there
is an entire city of gods
inside Mount Merapi.
When I read stories
about ancient volcano
gods descending or ascending
from and into volcanoes, then I
think to myself, are we really
talking about something here
that's a figment of our
ancestors' imagination?
Or is there some truth
behind these stories?
And the answer is yes.
It was not some type of
spiritual event, but it was
where extraterrestrials
descended from the sky in
nuts-and-bolts spaceships.
But what is it about
volcanoes that seem to
attract celestial visitors?
And might they have had the power
to trigger volcanic eruptions?
Hawaii.
Here, in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean, lies Mount Kilauea.
Spewing lava almost continuously
since 1983, it is the most
active volcano in the world.
According to ancient Hawaiian
legends, the volcano is home to
Pele, the goddess of
lightning and fire.
She lives in the enormous
volcano on the Big
Island in her crater,
and I've been up there.
It's a big crater, and you can
imagine a powerful
goddess could live there.
She has come from a place of the
clouds, a place in the sky.
And that's mysterious.
We don't know where that is.
Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists
believe, that the origin of the
Pele legend can be traced to
contact with extraterrestrial beings?
Just like the American
military has hollowed
out Cheyenne Mountain, near
Colorado Springs, to create a
secret and virtually
impenetrable military base
inside of a mountain, we have,
in a sense, similar stories of
ancient gods or
extraterrestrials doing this to
volcanoes, using them as bases.
And if there was some danger of
people discovering it, or people
were building their homes or
cities too close, these aliens
could have their volcano erupt.
Is there something
extraterrestrial behind those
stories of volcano gods?
Absolutely yes, because all
around the world, our ancestors
worshiped nature.
There was a god of thunder...
there was a god of rain,
and even a god of a volcano.
However, there was a fine line
between worshiping nature and
worshiping something else.
And that something else
was extraterrestrials.
They were space travelers that came
here from another planetary system.
Might some of the planet's
most active volcanoes
really have been home to
extraterrestrial forces, as some
ancient astronaut theorists contend?
Researchers believe further clues
can be found in one of the
driest and deadliest places on Earth.
The Sahara Desert.
Stretching across Northern
Africa and covering nearly
three-and-a-half-million square
miles, it is one of the hottest
and most formidable places on Earth.
With an average rainfall of only
half an inch per year, humans
have fought a relentless
battle to adapt to the harsh
environment or die.
Historians have often
looked at the Sahara
Desert and wondered what it is
that created this particularly
inhospitable desolate
area of the planet.
But in the Algerian Sahara,
in the region of Tassili
n'Ajjer, numerous cave
paintings, some estimated to
date back as far as 8,000 BC,
depict a time when the land was
lush and teeming with life.
But if so, what happened?
The scenes that you see at Tassili
n'Ajjer are totally bizarre.
They're showing a Sahara that
was once fertile with giraffes
and antelope and other animals we
find only in Central Africa really.
And combined with them are these
bizarre pictures of what even
the archeologists have called
the Martians and the spacemen.
They have strange helmets on and suits.
They look exactly like
extraterrestrials.
The petroglyphs that we
find there are incredible.
They look like modern-day astronauts
with suits, with helmets,
with visors, and
according to the legends of the
Tassili region, the natives were
visited at a time when a climate
change was about to happen.
So is it possible that the
reason why we have these
depictions of these ancient
aliens is because they assisted
the native population at the
time of climate change to move
into a new area of habitation?
Did alien beings visit this
region thousands of years ago?
And if so, might they have
warned the local population of
an enormous climate change, one that
would trigger a vast migration?
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer is yes.
And for evidence, they point to
the ancient oral traditions of a
Western African tribal
people known as the Dogon.
According to the Dogon
themselves, they were
guided by their alien fish god
the Nommo, to this area near the
Niger River where there's
a lot more water.
So they had to transit across
the inhospitable Sahara to find
their homeland...
and their own explanation
is that alien gods led them
to this fertile area where they
could establish their civilization.
The Nommos describe coming down
in some type of flying craft.
The Dogon Tribe gave some very
interesting details, which sound
like a UFO... large
spinning disc that made
a lot of sound and wind as it
descended to Earth and the
Nommos appear.
So, this is a very interesting
story, which was replicated by
many different cultures of
seeing beings descending from
the heavens to Earth.
Were they gods, or were
they extraterrestrials?
Even today, the Dogon
believe they are the
children of the Nommo, strange
gods who came here from the
Sirius star system.
The Dogon Tribe look up at
the star system of Sirius,
and they are convinced that they
were visited here, and they were
told about a star system, a
binary system that we didn't
know about for years later.
I mean, how did these
people know this?
The Dogon have always
been focused upon in the
sense that they have this story,
this information about their
ancestors who somehow had this contact
with this non-human intelligence.
Now the question is, how
did they attain this?
It really might come from the
Sahara Desert, from specifically
culture pockets like Tassili
n'Ajjer, and that the Dogon are
descendants from these people.
Could the Tassili n'Ajjer
cave paintings and the
legends of the Dogon tribe
really be proof of alien contact
in the distant past, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe?
Perhaps additional evidence can
be found half a hemisphere away
at an archeological site near
the city of Chifeng in China.
Here, scholars have found
5,000-year-old stone carvings
and other artifacts believed
to have been engraved by a
Neolithic people known
as the Hongshan.
The Hongshan people
in China are known to
have strange carvings, jade
statuettes, showing long headed
people looking very much
like extraterrestrials.
But the most curious
among the Hongshan's
ancient carvings is this one...
an image of what many scholars
and archaeologists believe to be
the depiction of a massive comet
or meteor, similar to the one
that did, in fact, strike this
region around 3,000 BC.
The evidence that we have that there
was a massive catastrophe at
that time, approximately between
3113 and about 3116 BC,
is so fascinating.
A whole team at Harvard and
Princeton took a look,
scientifically, at the Peruvian
ice shelves there in the Andes
Mountains, and they dug down,
and they said there was a
massive, planet-wide glaciation
of the Earth, a gigantic
catastrophe that froze wooly
mammoths with tropical
vegetation in their mouths, froze
the entire planet at that time.
But how is it possible
that these ancient
people could have known of a
catastrophic meteor strike that
wouldn't occur for another 116 years?
It seems like they were
possibly warned by their
extraterrestrial gods of this
coming catastrophe and were able
to leave and relocate somewhere else.
If we argue that this
carving was done before the
event took place, then somebody
must have given them this
knowledge, and in the ancient
astronaut opinion, that
knowledge was given to
the Hongshan culture by
extraterrestrials.
The question whether
this is by coincidence
or somehow by some intelligence
who's pulling the string of
these meteorites and comets,
our ancestors were absolutely
convinced that there was
an intelligence behind it.
You might have certain comets which
are programmed to bring life.
You might also have certain
comets which are programmed to
bring destruction.
Might the Hongshan
people, like the ancient
ancestors of the Dogon tribe,
really have received warnings of
impending catastrophes from
extraterrestrial beings, as many
ancient astronaut theorists believe?
If so, why?
Did ancient visitors really want
to save the lives of Earth's
human inhabitants?
Or were they trying to achieve
something more, something that
might forever change the
course of human history?
November 8, 2011.
A massive asteroid, a quarter
mile in diameter, narrowly
misses the Earth while passing
by inside the orbit of the moon.
It is known as a Near-Earth Object.
It's a kind of wake-up call.
It tells us that indeed
these objects are real.
They come very close, and
someday, they may come so close
that they would hit.
There are probably a million
near-Earth asteroids that are
large enough that they could
do significant destruction, by
which I mean, if they hit a
city, they would destroy it.
They could k*ll millions of people.
An asteroid strike of
significance, something big,
could be devastating for the planet.
It will cover the sun for years,
and we'll go into an ice age,
and we'll all starve to death.
According to mainstream
science, one such
object, an asteroid six miles in
diameter, smashed into the Earth
65 million years ago, triggering
a global catastrophe that
forever changed the
history of our planet.
The Chicxulub Crater is in
Yucatan, Mexico, and it's
the largest impact crater on Earth.
And this crater is 180
kilometers in diameter.
It's absolutely ginormous, and
it represents an event that
occurred at the end of the
Cretaceous Period, 65 million
years ago, and that's coincident
with a mass extinction.
And that's the mass extinction that
took out many animals and plants...
most particularly, the dinosaurs.
Many scientists are
still studying the details of
the impact that produced
the dinosaur extinction.
They discovered the actual
crater, the smoking g*n, the
remnant of that impact.
From the size of the crater,
we can infer how much energy.
It was 100 million megatons
of TNT equivalent.
We don't have any other example
that's that clean, but there
must have been impacts like that
throughout the history of the Earth.
Was such a devastating collision the
result of chance, an
intergalactic accident?
Or might it have been a planned
event, as some ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
And if so, why?
The reason that some kind
of alien force would
want to create the extinction
of dinosaurs and other large
animals would be to make the
Earth safer for people.
The idea of tidal waves and
earthquakes, catastrophes
causing mass extinctions, the Earth
becomes a better place to live.
We're able to have our
civilization in a much more
protected manner without having
to worry about giant animals
crashing into our house all the time.
One can ask the question, why
would extraterrestrials do this?
Well, the answer is very simple.
We are their product.
We are their offspring.
They treat us as creator
beings, and we are
their offspring, and they're
able to make decisions about
humanity based on their needs.
So, perhaps their needs were
satisfied, and they decided they
didn't want humankind around
anymore, so it's just as easy to
wipe them out as it is to continue
to perpetuate their existence.
If aliens are visiting
us, you know, and
they're not necessarily hostile,
but the very fact that there
have been UFO sightings during
earthquakes, tsunamis, floods,
tornadoes...
Is this a concern?
If you look at us humans
from the religious
side, or if you look at the
humans from the scientific side,
we look at us as the greatest.
Something so gigantic and
wonderful like humans does not
exist somewhere in the
universe out there.
I could imagine that the
extraterrestrials, one day, they
have enough of our arrogance and
ignorance, and they say we tried
to teach now since centuries,
but you still believe you are
the greatest thing out
there in the universe.
So we have enough, and
we punish you again.
You have to wonder if
extraterrestrials, with their
super technology, haven't been
involved in some of these
catastrophes, actually creating
them to change history.
We know that our ancestors
survived some of the
greatest disasters.
And on each occasion, there is
always an intelligence out there
who's willing to tell us and
help us in making sure that we
survive, and the question is, if
something is going to happen in
the future, are we going to
be relying once again on the
nonhuman intelligence to help us?
Devastating earthquakes
and deadly floods,
catastrophic eruptions and
planet-crushing collisions...
Are Earth's mega-disasters
simply the consequence of
natural events?
Or is mankind simply a pawn in
the great cosmic experiment,
one engineered by otherworldly forces?
Might alien beings be
manipulating human history, in
an effort to test us,
to make us stronger?
Or are they paving the way
for Earth's future, a future
where humans would no longer exist.
