The television producer and UFO investigator Linda Moulton-Howe has been tracking the mystery of animal mutilation for over thirty years. ibid.
For nearly three thousand years the Mayan civilisation thrived in Central America. Among their many accomplishments, the Ancient Maya invented a remarkably complex and accurate calendar. ibid.
Nabta Playa, Egypt: 500 miles south of Cairo in Egypt’s Nubian Desert sits one of the oldest astronomical sites ever discovered. In 1974 the archaeologist Fred Wendorf almost passed it by before noticing its small stone artefacts and toppled rocks. ibid.
In 1994 the mystery of Nabta Playa took on an even greater significance when Robert Bauval announced a surprising discovery along Egypt’s Giza Plateau. The Great Pyramid contained four long interior shafts. Bauval determined that they were each precisely aligned with specific stars in the sky. ibid.
Crop Circles: Much like the famed Nazca Lines of Peru the designs were only visible from the air. ibid.
‘Some people said they saw light in the fields at night.’ ibid. comment
In 1991 the noted bio-physicist Dr William Levengood put forward a startling new theory. After spending 10 years studying crop circles, sites and samples, he concluded that they were created by a complex energy system which he called a ‘spinning plasma vortex’ that comes down from somewhere high up in the atmosphere. ibid.
Belize: When she came back up, Anna held the top of a strange crystal skull. A second search uncovered a matching jaw. The two-piece skull weighed eleven pounds seven ounces, and appeared to be carved from a single piece of rock crystal. The Skull’s appearance created an immediate sensation amongst the local tribesmen. The Mayan elders believed that in ancient times thirteen crystal skulls were buried in secret places around the world. ibid.
Why would visiting aliens have given a crystal skull to the Mayans? To what purpose? ibid.
The Fermi Paradox as it became known was an attempt to explain the lack of evidence of aliens despite the mathematical probability of their existence. ibid.
United States’ president Thomas Jefferson, Christopher Columbus, Crusaders in the Middle Ages, what did they have in common? There is evidence to suggest they experienced or believed in the possibility of alien encounters. Ancient Aliens s1e4: Closer Encounters
Indus Valley, southern Pakistan, Mohenjo-daro: 44 skeletons were found face-down in the streets, many holding hands. Their faces and body positions suggested they suffered a sudden and violent death? … ‘You find increased levels of radiation [Giorgio]’ … A city that suffered the equivalent of an atomic attack. ibid.
That the story of Sodom & Gomorrah is really a description of a nuclear explosion, similar to the one described in the Hindus’ Mahabharata. ibid.
Does this mean that Noah was the product of artificial insemination, a genetic experiment performed by extraterrestrials? If so, what was the reason for the Great Flood? ibid.
In his 13th century historical work entitled Otia Imperialia Gervase of Tilbury wrote about an aerial craft over the city of Bristol which purportedly caught its anchor in the church steeple. ibid.
According to ancient astronaut theorists the UFO-shaped objects found in medieval paintings aren’t the only evidence of an alien presence during this era. In his book The Gods of Eden the author William Bramley cites private journals and other publications throughout Europe which contain accounts of cigar-shaped flying objects emitting noxious mists. ibid.
Germany 14th April 1561: At dawn the citizens of Nuremberg awoke to what was described in a local news-sheet as ‘a very frightful spectacle’ – various strange objects were spotted in the sky engaged in what appeared to be an aerial battle. ibid.
But in 1731 a series of sightings occurred across Europe that seemed to be so compelling the possibility could no longer be ignored. ibid.
1639: A close encounter over Boston’s muddy river. ibid.
In the north-west of New Mexico lies a vast concentration of ancient ruins known today as Chako Canyan. ibid.
But why would early Native Americans spend so much time building structures at Chaco Canyon along such precise astronomical alignments? ibid.
In his 2006 book The Orion Zone archaeo-astronomer Gary David proposed that the geographical layout of Hopi ruins in the American south-west precisely mirrors the star patterns of a number of constellations. ibid.
In 1795 three Nova Scotia farm boys set out to explore nearby Oak Island after witnessing strange green lights coming from its shore in the middle of the night. The initial excavation stopped at a depth of 30 feet. But since that time over a dozen professional excavations have been attempted. ibid.
But who or what constructed this elaborately designed pit? And perhaps more importantly what if anything lies hidden at the bottom? ibid.
What power the Ark held is the subject of wide speculation. But an even bigger mystery is what happened to the Ark, and where it might be located today. ibid.
In 1896 there were widespread reports of strange airships hovering over various locations in the American south-west. ibid.
Spaceships over Los Angeles. Bodysnatchers controlling our minds. Extraterrestrials making contact. These and other alien-based scenarios have been the plotlines of countless science fiction films and television shows. But what if extraterrestrial beings came back tomorrow? Ancient Aliens s1e5: The Return
But if they exist, where are these alien beings? Did they come to Earth in the past, as Ancient Astonaut theorists suggest, and then leave? If so, will they ever come back? ibid.
The science of radio-astonomy was born. If we couldn’t see aliens in space, maybe we could hear them. ibid.
Los Angeles, 25th February 1942: ‘The sirens started wailing in the middle of the night’ … The 37th Artillery Brigade in Los Angeles fired off a barage of anti-aircraft shells at an unidentified flying object. But what was this strange UFO that the search-lights were focussed on? ibid.
An estimated 14,000 shells were fired at the strange object. And shrapnel rained down from the sky for an hour afterwards. ibid.
Roswell, New Mexico: On 8th July 1947 a UFO sighting was reported that even the United States government had trouble denying. Why? Because this time the report was issued by the US army. One night in early July 1947 a major thunderstorm rolled across New Mexico. The next morning rancher Mack Brazel went to check on the damage. ibid.
Another intriguing British UFO sighting took place in December 1980: US Air Force personnel stationed in Suffolk reported seeing a brilliantly illuminated spaceship that landed in Rendlesham Forest on two consecutive nights. ibid.
‘This was a landed metallic craft that some of the witnesses claimed they got so close to, they could touch the side of it.’ ibid. Nick Pope
What stood out was the credibility of the main witnesses – trained military personnel. ibid.
‘Exo-politics has really been a grass-roots movement.’ ibid. Dr Greer
In 2008 the Vatican made an announcement that some say might threaten its own existence: the chief observer at the Vatican Observatory, Father Gabriel Funes, acknowledged the possibility alien life exists on other planets. ibid.
Ancient Astronaut proponents also cite as evidence the amazing similarities between isolated cultures all over the planet. ibid.
Certain places around the world have baffled scientists and scholars for decades. Places with names like the Zone of Silence, the Gate of the Gods, and the Bermuda Triangle. Visitors to these mysterious sites report a variety of strange energies, unexplained disappearances and supernatural phenomena. Ancient Aliens s2e1: Mysterious Places
Perhaps the most infamous of the world’s most mysterious places is the Bermuda Triangle. For decades this stretch of ocean covering over 500,000 square miles, between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, has baffled scientists, experienced sailors and military investigators. What causes ships and planes to disappear without trace? Why has aeronautical and navigational equipment stopped working, or changed course by itself? Historical shipping records show that the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle are much older than many people think. Ever since the earliest days of oceanic exploration sailors have witnessed strange sights. ibid.
Bermuda Triangle: 6 planes all flew by experienced pilots have vanished into oblivion. ibid.
And if there really is a portal in the open waters of the Bermuda Triangle, might there by others on land? ibid.
Mexico: The area near the town of Ceballos is called by the local Zona Del Silencio, the Zone of Silence. It’s an epicentre for some of the strangest phenomena ever experienced on Earth. The Zone of Silence was first identified in the 1930s. ibid.
According to legend, these so-called visitors from the sky made themselves known to an ancient people. Could they still be making themselves known to us today? ibid.
Incas: 800 miles south-east of Peru’s capital Lima near the shores of Lake Titicaca is a site that has mystified visitors from around the world ... the Gate of the Gods. ibid.
According to local legends these priest-kings known as space brothers came from other worlds. Did they travel through the Gate of the Gods perhaps? ibid.
This area of Peru is a focal point for UFO and extraterrestrial activity. ibid.
High up in the mountains of Peru 850 miles north of the Gate of the God is a breathtaking 2-mile-long plateau. Another area of reported high magnetic energy. For centuries it’s been considered a powerful sacred place among the Inca people – it’s called Markawasi. ibid.
