NARRATOR: Despite the fact that it is not open to the public,
ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos
asked Nick Pope to take him to the CCC
for a firsthand look at the installation.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: All right.
Good luck.
Thank you very much.
NARRATOR: As a former employee of the Ministry of Defense,
Nick did not feel it was appropriate for him
to approach the facility himself without clearance.
- I'll see you later, Nick. - Yes.
Take care. [door closes]
[music playing]
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Here we are. The CCC.
[music playing]
The lights are on.
And just like Nick explained, it's got a barbed wire.
It is fenced down.
Impenetrable.
NARRATOR: According to the British Ministry of Defense,
the CCC is simply a data processing
center for the Royal Navy.
But if true, why is it so heavily guarded?
Clearly it's an access to what seems
to be an underground system.
And if the stories that Nick told me are true,
then underneath our feet is a vast system of tunnels
and underground facilities.
[first responder sirens wailing]
NARRATOR: Within minutes of Giorgio's arrival
at the security gate, the crew is
met by a military police unit.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Can you tell me anything about this place?
NARRATOR: Unfortunately, the situation
ends with filming being halted.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Well, we're only
trying to find out the truth.
NARRATOR: But why?
What is it that's so top secret that Giorgio and his camera
crew are not even allowed to film the entrance
from public property?
[music playing]
So it was exactly how you said.
Fortification, barbed wire fence.
I had about five minutes and then a police car showed up.
And said, well, I think it's time for you to leave.
So I think you did exactly the right thing to get
out there while you could.
But you know that A, it is operational,
and B, it's obviously important.
They send the security people out.
I guarantee you, they had eyes on you
from the moment you started.
NARRATOR: Could this seemingly innocuous building,
and the underground facilities it lead to, be continuing
the extraterrestrial investigations that
were previously carried out at Rudloe Manor?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
And suggest that they are not only looking into UFO reports,
but mysterious phenomenon that has
been happening in the county of Wiltshire
for thousands of years.
[music playing]
- I think this is it right here. - Yes.
Here we are.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Great.
NARRATOR: Author and historian Andrew Collins
has lived in or near Wiltshire for most of his life
and has investigated the many strange happenings
associated with the area. - How are you?
- All right. - You good?
Yeah, you?
NARRATOR: Giorgio and Nick arrange
to meet with him to discuss why the Ministry of Defense
might have chosen this location to be the headquarters
of their UFO investigations.
You're looking at the dead center of weird activity
in the whole of Great Britain.
We've got UFOs.
We've got crop circles.
We've got the most intensive amount of prehistoric sites.
Ancient mounds.
Barrows.
Plus, we have, obviously, the strange activity that surrounds
places like Rudloe Manor and Corsham,
as a whole, where we are today.
NICK POPE: : Absolutely.
And some of these sites, I don't think people realize,
but they are older than the Egyptian pyramids.
Absolutely.
We've got here Stonehenge and Avebury itself.
Most people think that these sites
go back 4,500 to 5,000 years.
But they, in fact, go back at least 10,000 years.
I lived in the center of Avebury,
which is the largest stone circle complex
in the whole of the world.
UFOs have been seen in the vicinity of the stones there.
Sometimes they have been seen to actually
come in to the circle and land.
Other times, they have manifested into strange shapes,
figures, things like that.
[music playing]
All around the country, there are
certain areas where UFOs manifest
more than anywhere else.
They're called window areas.
And I believe that the area around Stonehenge and Avebury
is exactly one of those window areas.
