Mount Everest, November 9th, 1951.

0:06

On the Menlung Glacier at an altitude of

0:10

18,000 ft, British explorers Eric

0:13

Shipton and Michael Ward came across a

0:16

mileong trail of unusual footprints.

0:23

Not expecting to find humans in this

0:26

remote corner of the mountain, the

0:28

climbers examined the prince to

0:30

determine what made them.

0:33

To their surprise, the footprints were

0:36

in the shape of a large human-like foot,

0:39

one roughly twice the normal size.

0:42

The footprints suggest that in fact

0:44

we're dealing with a large primate, one

0:47

that shares with us the not only the

0:49

habit of walking on two legs, but has

0:51

some superficial resemblance in its foot

0:53

to our footprints, uh, only much larger

0:56

scale, but differ from the other great

0:59

apes in the lack of a divergent big toe,

1:01

suggesting they're adapted to a wholly

1:04

terrestrial environment, living on the

1:06

ground.

1:10

Photographs brought back from the

1:11

expedition launched a media sensation

1:15

and marked the beginning of the Bigfoot

1:17

phenomena.

1:21

But where do these giant footprints come

1:23

from? Could they be a hoax? Or is there

1:27

some mysterious unknown creature living

1:30

in the remote wilderness?

1:36

According to the histories and myths of

1:38

the Himalayan region, one such ape-like

1:41

creature is the yeti, more commonly

1:44

known as the abominable snowman.

1:48

>> The uh notorious Himalayan yeti. It's

1:51

often described as being less than 6 ft

1:54

in height, much more aggressive when

1:57

encountered.

1:59

>> All of these sightings really make for a

2:02

creature which seems to be hiding from

2:04

us. is a creature which is hiding in

2:06

plain sight and obviously the direct

2:08

evidence comes in the form of its

2:10

footprints. Hence why it's quite often

2:12

referred to as Bigfoot.

2:15

People often ask why don't we catch

2:17

Bigfoot? Bigfoot could be some sort of

2:19

supernatural creature like a a phantom.

2:21

You know, if Bigfoot is however a flesh

2:24

and blood animal, then I would have to

2:26

say their numbers would have to be few

2:27

and far between.

2:31

Since the Mount Everest discovery, there

2:33

have been numerous sightings of large

2:35

ape-like creatures on every continent,

2:38

many clustered in the Pacific Northwest

2:40

area of the United States, including

2:43

Mount Shasta in Northern California.

2:48

In 1979, I was up on the side of Mount

2:51

Shasta on the foothills, uh, trying to

2:54

get to the base of the mountain. It was

2:56

so dense and so tough. As we're standing

2:59

there, we heard this crashing sound.

3:04

Simultaneously, we smelt this awful

3:07

smell. I mean, it was foul. But what was

3:10

horrifying was whatever it was was

3:12

coming at us through this impenetrable

3:14

hedge. And then we heard the most blood

3:17

curdling combination of a elephant uh

3:22

trumpeting a lion roaring

3:28

and it was so loud it bounced off the

3:31

foothills 2 mi away.

3:35

That was probably the most terrified

3:36

I've ever been in my life. And the next

3:38

thing I knew, we were headed down the

3:40

mountain, almost skidding off corners.

3:45

I had heard from sheriffs about a

3:48

rancher in Montana who had gone out to

3:50

go hunting. Comes around a ridge, has an

3:54

8-ft tall reddish brown primate looking

3:58

long-haired creature standing right in

4:00

front of him,

4:02

picks up a 30 six and just fires

4:08

and the creature disappeared in a flash

4:10

of light. If the Sasquatch,

4:14

when a bullet is shot at it, disappears

4:17

in a flash of light, then what in the

4:19

world are we dealing with? And what do

4:21

they want?

4:25

County, Utah.

4:28

Nestled in a deep valley, surrounded by

4:31

some of the highest mountain peaks in

4:32

North America, is an infamous 512 acre

4:36

patch of land known as Skinwalker Ranch.

4:40

The native youths warn of a dark

4:43

presence that exists in this area where

4:46

strange sightings in the sky, encounters

4:50

with terrifying creatures, animal

4:52

mutilations, and numerous other

4:55

paranormal activities have been reported

4:57

for centuries.

4:59

Skinwalker Ranch has become this nexus

5:02

of activity where people are reporting

5:05

strange things.

5:07

It's in an area in Utah that's very much

5:10

like a desert terrain

5:13

and what's there now is high desert

5:15

prairie kind of area.

5:18

Now what it actually is and what's going

5:20

on there is a whole other question.

5:24

It's a very unique place in the world

5:26

where the phenomenon expresses itself in

5:28

dramatic form. It's also the most

5:30

scientifically studied UFO or paranormal

5:34

hot spot in history.

5:38

Native American legends say that there

5:41

has been an otherworldly presence at

5:42

Skinwalker Ranch for as long as humans

5:45

have existed in the area, which

5:47

according to archaeological evidence is

5:50

at least 10,000 years.

5:53

And the very first European settlers to

5:55

pass through this land in the late 1700s

5:58

had their own bizarre experiences

6:01

which they recorded in their journals.

6:04

The first Europeans to cross the Uenta

6:06

basin. The uh Franciscan monks reported

6:10

seeing things over their campfires at

6:12

night, really weird objects that we

6:13

would call UFOs. The Native Americans,

6:16

the indigenous tribes have been there,

6:17

have had these experiences for

6:19

generations.

6:20

It has, for as long as humans have lived

6:22

there, it's been the site of paranormal

6:24

activity, strange things in the sky,

6:27

UFOs.

6:29

There are so many stories about

6:31

Skinwalker Ranch that range from cattle

6:34

mutilations going on. There's stories

6:36

that if you dig on the property, you'll

6:38

get sick.

6:40

Even strange stories of cloaked beasts

6:43

running out of the woods.

6:46

You've seen UFOs. They have seen

6:49

different creatures. They have seen

6:52

weird things happening up in the sky. So

6:55

you have all these different phenomena

6:57

that happen on that ranch. So some have

7:00

referred to it as a veritable Disneyland

7:02

of the paranormal.

7:05

The most notorious of the paranormal

7:07

phenomena associated with Skinwalker

7:09

Ranch is the creature for which the

7:12

property is named. The association of

7:14

the skinwalker with this mysterious plot

7:17

of land can be traced back to the mid

7:20

19th century.

7:25

In January of 1864,

7:28

land disputes between Navajos, Utes, and

7:31

the United States military in Utah and

7:34

Arizona reached a fateful tipping point.

7:38

After decades of conflict, the military

7:41

removed the Navajo people from the area,

7:43

forcing them to make what became known

7:45

as the Long Walk to New Mexico.

7:49

The Navos blamed the youths for helping

7:52

the military

7:55

and so they cursed the land that the

7:57

youths lived on up there. And it must

8:00

have been a pretty strong curse because

8:02

even today there are really interesting

8:04

things that happened up there.

8:07

Cursing the land, the Navajo witch

8:10

doctors attempted to conjure an entity

8:12

called a yinol duchi or skinw walker.

8:17

The skin walkers, they're sort of

8:19

typically 6 to 7t tall, very dangerous.

8:24

It's described as being wolflike, but

8:28

walking on two limbs. So, inevitably, it

8:31

sort of provokes imagery of a werewolf.

8:35

The subject of skinwalkers is as serious

8:38

as a heart attack. This is not something

8:40

to trifle with. Even talking about them

8:43

puts it me in some danger.

8:47

The skinwalker is somebody who is evil.

8:52

They want to control people,

8:54

communities, regions, and have that

8:57

power over people. And they do this by

9:01

fear. The youths to this day are very

9:04

respectful. They're very mindful. Matter

9:06

of fact, they stay at an arms length um

9:08

from the skinwalker ranch. uh they

9:11

firmly believe that this ground is

9:13

cursed and that not only the una basin

9:16

but this concentration of this phenomena

9:18

on this host is on the skinwalker ranch

9:24

Elizabeth lake southern California

9:28

this high desert body of water sits at

9:31

the junction of the tectonic plates that

9:33

form the powerful San Andreas fault the

9:37

Mexicans who colonized California in the

9:40

1700s called it Laguna del Diablo, Lake

9:45

of the Devil. And it was said that the

9:48

devil's own pet would come into this

9:51

world through a portal at the bottom of

9:53

the lake.

9:55

>> Local legend says that at the bottom is

9:58

actually an entrance to the underworld.

10:00

They call it the lake of the devil. And

10:02

as I said that in the middle of the 18th

10:04

century from up until about 1880 onwards

10:08

something was happening there which

10:10

frightened locals.

10:13

Some of the rich land owners built

10:15

ranches there. These ranchers claimed to

10:17

have been harassed and tormented by some

10:19

sort of uh monstrous beast that would

10:22

come out of the water and steal cattle

10:25

and menace the locals.

10:30

The ranchers who claimed to have

10:31

witnessed this beast called it the

10:34

Thunderbird

10:35

and their description of it was nearly

10:38

identical to that of the giant bird

10:40

witnessed by cowboys in Tombstone in

10:43

1890.

10:45

>> Eventually, one of the landowners uh got

10:48

it in his head that he was going to hunt

10:50

this creature down and sell it to the

10:52

circus. So according to the story, this

10:54

rancher was able to actually fire a few

10:57

shots at this creature which seemed to

10:59

be bulletproof and metallic. The bullets

11:01

bounced off and after that uh encounter,

11:04

the bird flew east, never to be seen

11:06

again in California.

11:09

>> Could this so-called Thunderbird really

11:12

have been the same creature that cowboy

11:14

shot at in Tombstone?

11:17

And why was it referred to by locals as

11:19

the devil's pet? They didn't have the

11:22

vocabulary we had today. So when things

11:25

happened that they couldn't explain, it

11:27

was called the devil's tower. It was

11:30

called the devil's lake. It was called

11:33

the devil's this or the devil's that.

11:36

>> Take it away from the legend and you

11:38

might find that this was a portal to

11:40

another dimension which the locals knew

11:42

about and might have something to do

11:44

with the fact that this mysterious

11:45

entity was present at that very specific

11:48

location.

11:53

If a portal to another dimension or

11:56

another part of the universe does lie at

11:59

the bottom of Elizabeth Lake, might it

12:02

also be possible that the Thunderbird

12:04

was not really a creature at all, but

12:07

something even more incredible?

12:10

>> A Thunderbird was enormous. It made

12:12

enormous noises. So, the thunder part of

12:15

it uh could sound like a jet engine. Its

12:18

eyes was able to literally pierce and

12:21

emanate fire.

12:24

We have this large flying wing creature

12:26

which gives off a thunderous sound and

12:29

lights fly from its eyes. That to me

12:31

suggests we could be dealing with some

12:33

sort of craft.

12:40

Native Indians in North America, they

12:43

know of course the bird. But now

12:46

something differently arrived. An object

12:49

which could fly which is bigger than the

12:51

eagle but at the same time makes

12:54

tremendous noise. So you have the

12:56

creation of the Thunderbird. Even when

12:59

the airplanes first started going out up

13:02

in the sky here in the southwest they

13:04

referred them to as metal birds. As a

13:09

matter of fact, one of the first

13:11

fixedwing craft landed in Zouri,

13:14

the Indians over there actually went out

13:16

there and worshiped the airplane.

13:20

It makes me think of a concept called

13:22

cultural tracking, which is the idea

13:24

that UFOs can mask themselves to appear

13:30

as almost anything. You go back to

13:32

ancient China and they talk about the

13:34

flying dragons. You go back to the

13:36

ancient Egyptians, they talk about

13:37

flying boats. You go to the Roman times

13:40

and they're talking about flying

13:42

shields. Perhaps that was just their

13:44

interpretation or perhaps that's what

13:46

they actually saw.

13:50

In March 2010, a panel of 41

13:53

international experts concluded that the

13:56

impact of an asteroid that smashed into

13:59

Earth at Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula 65

14:03

million years ago probably triggered the

14:06

global climate change that resulted in

14:09

the mass extinction of the Earth's

14:11

dinosaurs.

14:13

But is there also evidence that some

14:16

dinosaur species survived?

14:19

And if so, might they also have evolved?

14:23

>> Paleontologists tell us that, oh, these

14:25

things have been extinct for for 65

14:27

million years, yet they still crop up.

14:30

And they appear to be prehistoric

14:33

animals, dinosaurs literally, that have

14:35

survived right down to today. Much like

14:38

the celacanth and uh alligators and

14:41

sharks and turtles also have survived

14:44

from those same prehistoric times. I

14:47

believe that ancient prehistoric

14:49

monsters are still living in remote

14:52

areas of the world, either in oceans and

14:55

lakes or jungle areas to today.

15:02

In the highlands of Scotland, the legend

15:05

of the Loch Ness monster has long been

15:07

part of Celtic and Norse folklore.

15:10

Recorded accounts of sightings can be

15:13

traced to the year 565

15:16

to the Irish monk St. Columba, a

15:19

powerful leader who founded monasteries

15:22

in both Ireland and Scotland.

15:25

In his journals, Columba wrote of an

15:27

encounter with people bearing a man near

15:30

the shores of the now fabled Loch Ness.

15:36

They explained to Father Columba that

15:38

the man who had died had been swimming

15:40

in the lake and was attacked by the

15:41

water beast. Upon hearing this, Father

15:43

Columba sent his own follower into the

15:45

lake. When the beast came after this

15:47

man, Father Columba made the sign of a

15:49

cross and commanded the beast not to

15:51

harm the man. The beast fled and was

15:54

never seen harming another man again.

16:01

A lot of people don't realize how big

16:03

Loch Ness is. It's 23 mi long, a mile

16:06

wide, and at its deepest point about 800

16:09

ft. And the water is very, very dark and

16:12

dense. And so it is the prime location

16:15

where conceivably they didn't need to

16:17

surface that often. They would sort of

16:19

bypass detection.

16:23

When we're confronted with the Loch Ness

16:25

monster or any kind of anomalous

16:27

creature, the question really is where

16:29

does it come from?

16:31

Is it a remnant of the dinosaur age or

16:35

is it something which is out of this

16:37

world? We know that for example St.

16:39

Columba definitely felt that lake was

16:41

sacred and that there was something

16:43

present there which had a religious

16:46

connotation which is why he went to that

16:48

place to begin with.

16:50

The intriguing thing is that there

16:51

actually have been a significant number

16:53

of UFO sightings over the lock itself of

16:57

strange brightly lit objects hovering

16:59

over the water late at night which

17:01

clearly aren't helicopters or aircraft

17:02

or meteorites or anything like that at

17:05

all. So in other words, Loch Ness is a

17:07

weird and spooky place.

17:12

Could the so-called sea monsters of Loch

17:15

Ness possibly be descendants of ancient

17:18

dinosaurs?

17:22

Or might it be of another perhaps

17:24

extraterrestrial origin? And if so, what

17:28

might this say about other mythical sea

17:31

beasts like the sevenheaded Samrian sea

17:33

monster, the Leviathan?

17:35

>> The Leviathan is sometimes described as

17:38

a a serpent or a crocodile or a dragon,

17:41

but it lurks. It is the gatekeeper to a

17:44

portal to hell. And this gateway to hell

17:46

is apparently deep in the ocean. And the

17:48

Leviathan is there forever lurking.

17:55

In Greek myths, the hydra was described

17:58

as an ancient sea serpent with many

18:00

heads. It was said to be a descendant of

18:03

the earth goddess Gaia.

18:07

Hercules was sent to kill the hydra,

18:11

but it was terribly difficult. He would

18:12

slice off the head

18:15

and two heads would form. He had to ask

18:17

help from his nephew. And his nephew had

18:20

a brilliant idea. Bring a torch. Fire

18:23

might keep the heads from forming. So

18:25

Hercules would bash off one of the heads

18:27

and his his nephew would essentially

18:29

cauterize the neck so that another one

18:30

wouldn't form. And in this way, the

18:32

hydro was finally defeated.

18:35

In the case of a hydra, we have

18:37

something which has several heads, which

18:39

is once again a category of a creature

18:41

which you would expect not to see. So we

18:44

either confronted here with something

18:47

which was genetically engineered or

18:48

which genetically went wrong. But

18:50

clearly it was of such importance that

18:53

it was adhered to in mythology where it

18:55

attained a status over the years, over

18:58

the centuries up until this moment in

19:01

time.

19:03

According

19:06

to Scandinavian legend, the Kraken are

19:09

legendary sea monsters of gargantuan

19:12

size and are said to have roamed the

19:14

seas off the coasts of Norway and

19:17

Iceland.

19:18

This fearsome beast was infamous for its

19:21

attacks on sailing ships. The danger was

19:24

not only being attacked by the Kraken,

19:27

they would come up to the surface and

19:29

were enormous, the size of small

19:30

islands. So you could you could have a

19:32

collision with a a Kraken that wasn't

19:34

even uh out to attack you. Another great

19:36

danger was that if it submerged

19:38

suddenly, it formed such a great

19:40

whirlpool that it could pull a ship

19:42

under.

19:45

Hong Kong 1935

19:49

in a small medicinal shop, German

19:52

paleontologist Dr. Gustaf Von Konikvald

19:55

purchased a set of giant mers thought to

19:58

be the teeth of an ancient dragon.

20:02

After further study, Bon Konoval

20:04

determined that he had stumbled upon the

20:07

first fossil evidence of an extinct

20:09

species of ape called Giganopythecus.

20:14

Standing 10 feet tall and weighing up

20:17

to,200 lb, this gigantic ape believed to

20:21

have lived alongside several early

20:23

homminid species for tens of thousands

20:25

of years is the largest known primate to

20:28

ever walk the earth.

20:31

Might the creature known as Bigfoot be a

20:34

descendant of this ancient beast?

20:37

A popular theory for the origins of

20:39

Sasquatch is that it may be descended

20:41

from a known great ape giganopythecus, a

20:45

giant ape that lived during the latter

20:48

part of the pleaene and achieved along

20:51

with many other animals gigantic

20:53

proportions. As an ape with a small

20:57

brain, it had extra crests and ridges of

21:00

bone to provide attachment for the

21:03

massive muscles to drive these very

21:05

heavy heavy jaws.

21:07

By comparison, the gorilla has the

21:10

crests and ridges that are found on

21:13

Giganopythecus or Bigfoot presumably to

21:16

support the muscles attaching to a very

21:19

small brain with a small uh cranial

21:22

covering.

21:25

>> The skulls of Giganopythecus and the

21:27

modern-day gorilla are typical of large

21:29

primates.

21:33

But the human skull, a species also

21:35

believed to have descended from large

21:37

primates, is very different.

21:40

>> And the human skull is remarkably

21:43

smaller. Our distinction being the much

21:46

greater cranial capacity, smaller jaws,

21:50

smaller muscles to drive these jaws.

21:53

>> What can account for such significant

21:55

differences in related species? And why

21:58

are humans relatively hairless and

22:01

possess brains far more advanced than

22:04

other primates? Are we really the result

22:07

of evolution? Or might the truth be that

22:10

the real alien hybrid is not Bigfoot but

22:14

man?

22:17

What today is referred to as the missing

22:19

link is extraterrestrial intervention.

22:22

Because without that extraterrestrial

22:24

intervention,

22:25

evolution did not take place the way

22:29

we're told in school.

22:32

Right after we shed our fur, for

22:34

millennia, we had to keep warm by

22:37

wearing furs. Yet, we used to have fur

22:42

all over our body. So, something doesn't

22:45

make sense. Our ancient ancestors here

22:50

may well be in a sense aliens from some

22:55

other solar system, perhaps the grays.

23:00

What they've done is manipulate what

23:03

were already humanoids on this planet,

23:07

but brute humanoids,

23:10

hairy, brutish people, the the caveman

23:13

of ancient times, but we're being

23:15

genetically manipulated and given the

23:18

DNA of these extraterrestrials.

23:22

the progression of the Darwinian

23:24

evolution. Looking at the Neanderthal

23:26

man, the Estrellopiththesine, all the

23:28

way up to Cro-Magn, it's very possible

23:30

that that missing link is still being

23:33

looked into. Now, I don't think they're

23:34

ever going to find it because the

23:36

missing link more than likely was a

23:38

genetic alteration on that homminid to

23:40

make us.

23:42

Could Homo sapiens really be a species

23:45

not indigenous to planet Earth?

23:48

And if humans are the result of genetic

23:51

engineering by alien beings, as ancient

23:54

astronaut theorists believe,

23:57

might Bigfoot creatures really be the

24:00

last surviving examples of prehistoric

24:03

homminids? Creatures who would have

24:05

originally dominated this planet?

24:09

Is it possible that during the genetic

24:12

manipulation of human beings, we at one

24:15

point started out as Sasquatch and

24:18

Bigfoot and yetis?

24:21

One of the stories in the Sumerian myths

24:22

is how the gods came into contact with

24:25

this ape-like creature here on Earth and

24:27

said, "We can put our genetic marker on

24:29

this creature and make man in our image

24:32

and after our likeness."

24:34

These ape-like hairy creatures existed

24:37

here naturally on Earth and are possibly

24:39

the origins of how humanity was spliced

24:42

by the Anunnaki into creating us that

24:45

still exists today.

24:49

Might the legend of Bigfoot really be

24:51

the story of Earth creatures who escaped

24:54

experimentation by ancient aliens?

24:58

And could this help explain why they

25:00

have been hiding from man for thousands

25:02

of years?

25:05

>> I think out of all the so-called

25:07

paranormal phenomena that is scoffed at

25:09

by science, we at some point in the not

25:12

too distant future are going to have

25:14

real irrefutable evidence of the

25:16

existence of these creatures. The fact

25:18

that Bigfoot have been able to skirt

25:21

about on the periphery and remain hidden

25:24

and remain secretive and be seldom seen

25:27

means that they're intelligent. But what

25:30

happens when populations keep expanding,

25:33

remote areas start getting settled and

25:36

Bigfoot starts to lose more and more of

25:37

its territory? What's going to happen?

25:40

Where is Bigfoot going to go?

25:43

I think this is extraordinary powerful

25:46

information to suggest that we were

25:48

indeed engineered by ancient

25:50

extraterrestrial beings and Bigfoot

25:52

might just be the first intelligent life

25:54

here on Earth.

25:58

Is it possible that the legends of

26:00

Bigfoot creatures are real?

26:04

Could they have been the product of

26:06

genetic manipulation by other worldly

26:08

beings?

26:11

Or are humans the real alien creatures

26:14

manufactured by using alien and homminid

26:18

DNA?

26:20

If so, it might help to explain why

26:23

Bigfoot is so elusive.

26:26

Not because we are afraid of them, but

26:29

because they are afraid of us.

26:37

Elizabeth Lake, Southern California.

26:41

This high desert body of water sits at

26:44

the junction of the tectonic plates that

26:46

form the powerful San Andreas fault. The

26:50

Mexicans who colonized California in the

26:53

1700s

26:54

called it Lagona del Diablo, Lake of the

26:58

Devil. And it was said that the devil's

27:01

own pet would come into this world

27:04

through a portal at the bottom of the

27:06

lake. Local legend says that at the

27:10

bottom is actually an entrance to the

27:12

underworld. They call it the lake of the

27:14

devil. And that's said that in the

27:16

middle of the 18th century from up until

27:19

about 1880 onwards, something was

27:22

happening there which frightened locals.

27:26

Some of the rich landowners built

27:28

ranches there. These ranchers claimed to

27:30

have been harassed and tormented by some

27:32

sort of uh monstrous beast that would

27:35

come out of the water and steal cattle

27:38

and menace the locals.

27:43

The ranchers who claimed to have

27:44

witnessed this beast called it the

27:47

Thunderbird,

27:48

and their description of it was nearly

27:51

identical to that of the giant bird

27:53

witnessed by cowboys in Tombstone in

27:56

1890.

27:58

Eventually, one of the land owners uh

28:00

got it in his head that he was going to

28:02

hunt this creature down and sell it to

28:04

the circus. So, according to the story,

28:07

this rancher was able to actually fire a

28:10

few shots at this creature which seemed

28:12

to be bulletproof and metallic. The

28:14

bullets bounced off and after that uh

28:17

encounter, the bird flew east, never to

28:19

be seen again in California. Could this

28:22

so-called Thunderbird really have been

28:25

the same creature that cowboys shot at

28:28

in Tombstone?

28:30

And why was it referred to by locals as

28:32

the devil's pet?

28:34

>> They didn't have the vocabulary we have

28:36

today. So when things happened that they

28:39

couldn't explain, it was called the

28:41

devil's tower. It was called the devil's

28:44

lake. It was called the devil's this or

28:47

the devil's that. Take it away from the

28:50

legend and you might find that this was

28:52

a portal to another dimension which the

28:54

locals knew about and might have

28:56

something to do with the fact that this

28:58

mysterious entity was present at that

29:00

very specific location.

29:06

If a portal to another dimension or

29:09

another part of the universe does lie at

29:12

the bottom of Elizabeth Lake, might it

29:15

also be possible that the Thunderbird

29:17

was not really a creature at all, but

29:20

something even more incredible?

29:23

>> A Thunderbird was enormous. It made

29:25

enormous noises. So, the thunder part of

29:28

it uh could sound like a jet engine.

29:31

>> His eyes was able to literally pierce

29:34

and emanate fire.

29:36

We have this large flying wing creature

29:39

which gives off a thunderous sound and

29:42

lights fly from its eyes. That to me

29:44

suggests that we could be dealing with

29:46

some sort of craft.

29:53

Native Indians in North America, they

29:56

know of course the bird. But now

29:58

something differently arrived. An object

30:01

which could fly, which is bigger than

30:04

the eagle. but at the same time makes

30:06

tremendous noise. So you have the

30:09

creation of the Thunderbird.

30:11

>> Even when the airplanes first started

30:14

going out up in the sky here in the

30:16

southwest, they referred them to as

30:19

metal birds. As a matter of fact, when

30:23

the first fixed wing craft landed in

30:25

Zouri,

30:27

the Indians over there actually went out

30:29

there and worshiped the airplane.

30:33

It makes me think of a concept called

30:35

cultural tracking, which is the idea

30:37

that UFOs can mask themselves to appear

30:43

as almost anything. You go back to

30:45

ancient China and they talk about the

30:47

flying dragons. You go back to the

30:49

ancient Egyptians, they talk about

30:50

flying boats. You go to the Roman times

30:53

and they're talking about flying

30:55

shields. Perhaps that was just their

30:57

interpretation. Or perhaps that's what

30:59

they actually saw.

31:03

Iraq, site of ancient Mesopotamia and

31:06

the cradle of civilization.

31:11

In the remains of the ancient city of

31:13

Nineveh, Sumerian tablets dating back to

31:16

as early as 1800 BC tell the story of

31:20

King Gilgamesh.

31:25

In this epic poem, Gilgamesh has a

31:29

companion named Enkadoo

31:32

who is described as a hairy wild man

31:35

living outside human society.

31:40

What is fascinating about the epic of

31:42

Gilgamesh is the fact that it relates to

31:45

us a story of Enkadu

31:49

who allegedly was a giant. It is

31:53

possible that Enkidu, this wild hairy

31:58

beast, this giant could have been of

32:02

extraterrestrial

32:04

origin because that is what the ancient

32:07

Samrian texts are saying.

32:10

>> Enkidu is described in the the epic of

32:12

Gilgamesh as being a hairy manlike

32:17

monster with great strength.

32:21

And when you read that story and you

32:24

have to think that Enkadoo is some kind

32:27

of Bigfoot Sasquatch,

32:31

this is the actual first fashion being

32:34

by the gods

32:36

where they put their genetic marker on

32:38

it to make a new being that would be

32:40

their slave. And they called this being

32:42

the Ankydoo.

32:46

Is it possible, as ancient astronaut

32:48

theorists suggest, that the epic of

32:51

Gilgamesh actually describes a homminid

32:54

creature created by extraterrestrial

32:57

beings?

32:58

Samrian texts also describe ancient sky

33:01

gods who came to Earth called the

33:04

Anunnaki.

33:07

The ancient astronaut theory explains

33:09

how these gods were probably

33:11

extraterrestrials

33:14

and put their genetic marker on this

33:16

beast, but that beast would still exist

33:18

and probably went on its own

33:19

evolutionary path to be the Bigfoot and

33:22

the Sasquatch that we have today.

33:24

Do ancient accounts of such humanlike

33:27

beasts provide further evidence that

33:30

this otherworldly being may have really

33:32

existed throughout our history?

33:40

Some believe the giant in the Old

33:42

Testament story of David and Goliath may

33:45

also be an early representation of

33:47

Bigfoot.

33:49

>> If you think about the story of David

33:51

and Goliath from the Bible, Goliath is

33:54

huge and he's big and he's hairy, but he

33:56

doesn't live on the edge of civilization

33:58

or avoid people. He's really being used

34:01

as a weapon almost a weapon of terror

34:04

against the Israelites.

34:07

>> When you start reading the Bible in more

34:09

detail and descriptions of these giants,

34:11

there were various other big creatures

34:14

in our ancestors uh world which we no

34:18

longer are aware of and Bigfoot might

34:20

just be one category which somehow has

34:22

been able to survive.

34:25

Whether or not Goliath is a Bigfoot,

34:27

they definitely sit within the same

34:29

category of a creature which clearly is

34:31

not human but clearly is also present

34:34

here and which is taller than our

34:36

ancestors were.

34:38

My question is what is the truth behind

34:42

this particular story? And it is

34:45

possible, as some scholars have

34:48

suggested, that Goliath might have been

34:52

an extraterrestrial, that he was a type

34:56

of giant, a human abomination, a half

34:59

alien, halfhuman creature that was so

35:03

terrifying, so horrendous that David

35:07

took it upon himself to vanquish that

35:10

beast.

35:15

All cultures across the world, whether

35:17

it's South America, Native American

35:19

Indians, Europe, Russia, China, Tibet,

35:22

Australia,

35:24

all these nations have legends and tales

35:27

of giant hairy wild men. Now, you know,

35:30

people say, "Well, legends are just

35:32

legends." But when you have cultures and

35:34

countries separated by oceans all

35:36

talking about very similar things, to me

35:39

this does suggest that in times past

35:41

these things were very very prevalent

35:43

and widespread across the world.
