Ancient Aliens

Demons...

who seize control of humans while they sleep.

Being unable to breathe,

feeling like you're frozen...

these are similar things that happen to people

in modern abduction phenomenon.

Interplanetary journeys

in space and time.

They go to another world of supernatural

beings, and then they come back, and missing time is involved.

And entire cultures

that mysteriously vanish from the earth.

We do know that they were threatened from

something from the sky.

Could this be some type of upwelling of energy that was

possibly utilized by ancient aliens...

in some fashion that we still don't understand?

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 might accounts of ancient abductions reveal an incredible agenda?

Central Arizona.

The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.

November 5, 1975.

At 6:30 P.M., a bright light suddenly appears in the sky

over the central Arizona mountains.

Six U.S. forest service workers driving home after their

day shift witness a large silvery disc hovering in the sky.

It was smooth as glass, but glowing and

reflective at the same time.

It just had a powerful look and feel to it that was just amazing.

This beam of energy hit me.

I felt like I'd been hit real suddenly, like a physical blow,

but with a sort of a tingling

electric shock sort of feeling, at the same time.

Walton basically got zapped by this blinding light.

The crew just hot-footed out of the area quickly,

and then thought, well, we've got to go back;

you know, we got to get Travis.

Went back, whatever this object was, was gone.

And he was gone as well.

According to Travis Walton, the mysterious beam of

light rendered him unconscious, and when he awoke, he found

himself in a room surrounded by strange beings.

I was looking straight into the face of this creature.

These small beings were humanoid, but so un-human.

It was just terrifying.

And I just flipped out.

It was just horrible.

It was like they were looking right into me.

Crews searched everywhere for the missing

forest worker, but it wasn't until five days later that

Walton reappeared in a nearby town.

I was lying face down, outside, in the dark, and there

was a light above me,

and I saw the bottom of the craft there,

right before it shot up into the sky.

When details of Travis Walton's close encounter

were revealed to authorities, they dismissed the accounts

of the young man's disappearance as a possible hoax.

But researchers say the Travis Walton case is one of the most

credible abduction stories on record.

Stories of alien encounters, abductions

to different realms, are as old as mankind itself.

Something truly enigmatic has

been happening with us and with our ancestors.

And when you look at the modern

accounts of abductions, you find that they are one and the same.

Washington, DC

December 1969.

The United States government suddenly terminates project

Blue Book, the air force investigation into claims of UFO

sightings and contact with extraterrestrials.

Though more than 12,000 reports were investigated over a span

of 20 years, the government publically concluded that most

cases were misunderstood natural phenomena.

But inside the organization, project Blue Book astronomer

J. Allen Hynek had been creating a system of classifying the data

he believed provided scientific evidence of alien encounters.

Hynek was actively in charge of some of the investigations.

And he realized early on, after amassing so many cases and

having a database, that he needed to organize it and

classify these types of reports, so he came up with the close

encounter one-through-three classification.

According to Hynek's classification system

a close encounter of the first kind or CE1...

is described as witnessing a UFO within 500 feet.

CE2 is when a UFO leaves behind a physical trace of its presence.

And CE3 includes seeing occupants within the UFO.

Dr. J. Allen Hynek invented these three terms

which basically detailed the distance of the person

from the UFO and the nature of the experience, and it was basically

designed as terms so that, you know, we would have a good

understanding of whether somebody saw an object

at a distance in the sky, further close up, a UFO on the ground.

Close encounters of the fourth kind is that

the occupants of this craft took the observer aboard...

And either did some type of experimental procedure on him

or implanted him with them.

And then close encounters of the fifth kind is people that are

having some type of telepathic communication with the occupants

of the craft, or E.T., per se.

Since Travis Walton's close encounter of the

fourth kind, in which he was taken aboard a craft, claims

of alien contact have been increasing.

Perhaps most alarming, they say, are details of abductions

claiming sexual interactions, and even the creation of hybrid humans.

Many of these abduction stories are really scary.

The abductee is not fully in control of his or her own body.

The abductee has all kinds of very painful things done to them

that he or she cannot control.

And they're deeply changed by these experiences in ways that

are often detrimental to them, and very disturbing.

I'm often asked, do I have any kind of an

idea of who they are, what do they want, why have they been

terraforming this planet and manipulating genes, apparently,

in various life-forms and interacting with humans in

the human abduction syndrome?

The phenomena, the high strangeness, continues and

persists, defying human logic and defying human understanding.

Researchers claim that alien abductions have been

occurring for millennia.

Could such extraordinary events

have been documented in the ancient world?

According to ancient astronaut theorists, evidence can be found

right in what many believe to be

the missing pages of the Judeo-Christian Bible.

Khirbet Qumran, Palestine.

In 1946, a collection of ancient manuscripts, known as the dead

sea scrolls, is discovered,

hidden in clay jars deep inside a cave.

Among the manuscripts is the book of Enoch, a so-called

"lost" biblical text, in which a Hebrew prophet named Enoch

describes in great detail

his extraordinary encounters with otherworldly beings.

Enoch tells us about the guardians of the sky who came down.

He doesn't use the word "spaceship," but we have "came

down from the sky to earth."

He is the only one who speaks in the first person.

"I did, I thought, I flew, I had"

contact with the so-called "guardians of the sky."

Enoch was taken away from our

planet Earth by the lord in a fiery chariot.

They were not angels, they were not

gods, they were flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials who took him

up there in some type of a vehicle in order to write down

"the knowledge of the universe," as he calls it.

Our ancestors thought that all they were witnessing had

something to do with magic, when, in reality, it was nothing

else but misunderstood technology.

Could the book of Enoch really be describing

an actual abduction event...

one that took place thousands of years ago?

If so, might the Bible contain other examples of

extraterrestrial encounters with humans,

and could these incredible close encounters

betray another, perhaps less benign, alien agenda...

one that involves controlling our behavior and psychic abductions

to other dimensions?

The Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.

In the judeo-Christian Bible...

as found in the book of Exodus...

Moses receives the Ten Commandments from God after

disappearing on Mount Sinai for a period of 40 days and 40 nights.

When the prophet returns to his

people, his appearance has drastically changed.

It's very interesting.

He had been around this God for so long, his face was glowing

and he had to literally cover himself because people were

afraid of him because he had changed

his countenance had changed so much.

Basically his people recognize him but also see that

he has physically changed, and so, this is very interesting

because, if you were to take it from a biblical perspective,

you would think that an encounter with God is

something nice, something

phenomenal, but not that it has physical effects.

In the case of the Moses encounter, what you have

is something very physical, something very specific,

suggestive that what happened to

him is a very physical encounter with a deity...

An extraterrestrial being rather than what we would generally

classify as divine.

If we look at it from the context of today's

alien abduction stories, you know, was God coming down from

the sky actually a UFO descending?

Was he taken aboard, abducted

onto a UFO, and held for 40 days and then returned?

I think, you know, if we look at it in that context, we've got

what sounds like a classic abduction.

Could the biblical accounts of Enoch and Moses

suggest an extraterrestrial agenda...

one where alien beings communicate messages of peace

and harmony with humans?

Northeast Syria.

The Khabur River.

According to the Hebrew Bible, it was here,

in the sixth century BC, that divine beings descended from heaven

and made contact with a 30-year-old Hebrew priest named Ezekiel.
