People love to tell me about their UFO sightings
and it seems like there are more now than ever.
Which begs the question...
is it possible that aliens reside right here on Earth?
In this countdown,
we take a look at locations around the planet
that might be hiding secret outposts
for otherworldly beings.
Number three, the Dark Pyramid of Alaska.
[suspenseful music]
[narrator]
It's home to the nation's highest peak,
its biggest national park,
and more coastline than all other states combined.
For ancient astronaut theorists,
the dense uninhabited wilderness of Alaska
conceals a multitude of mysteries
and perhaps an extraterrestrial presence.
[Andrew]
incredible amount of weird things take place.
We have paranormal activity,
the appearance of strange cryptids,
and other monsters of time and space,
as well as the manifestation of UFOs and mysterious lights.

stands Mt. Hayes, one of Alaska's tallest peaks
and a place where UFO sightings
are reported with great frequency.
Many people have seen UFOs, flying saucers,
strange lights flying in and around Mt. Hayes.
-[wind whistling]
that can go up there.
Only way to get to Mt. Hayes is to actually fly there,
which most people don't do.
So what are these craft
that are flying around Mt. Hayes?
[narrator]
eyewitness testimony was the only evidence
to support the notion that Mt. Hayes was a UFO hotspot.
But in 1995, declassified CIA documents
revealed that Mt. Hayes
was the focus of a top-secret government project
called "Stargate."
[Hugh]
and they found evidence
of a project underneath Mt. Hayes.
And they say they saw, written in these records,
that it was actually an alien underground base
in this area.
[narrator]
in Alaska?
While the idea sounds far-fetched,
in 1992,
US geologists detected a mysterious pyramidal object
underneath Mt. Denali.
Seismic instruments reveal
the top of the 550-foot-tall pyramidal object
lies 150 feet below ground
and just 130 miles southwest of Mt. Hayes.
Many researcher believe it is an artificial structure
which is become known as the Dark Pyramid.
[tense music]
The Dark Pyramid is this massive pyramidal structure
under Mt. Denali,
which is said to be twice the size
of the Great Pyramid of Giza
and made of black stone.
[narrator]
has spent years researching the Dark Pyramid
and has interviewed a number of people
who claimed to have information,
including one man who claims his father
has actually been inside the Dark Pyramid.
He said that his father was working for Western Electric
and ended up
as a very skilled electronic engineer
being asked to go to a location
west of what was Mt. Denali.
His father told him that there was a big freight elevator
that was sticking up out of the ground
and when you got to the bottom,
opened up
into full bore... room, work, offices.
The father is introduced to the fact
that they are at the bottom of a pyramid
and that each of the three corners,
they have these offices
that were actually monitoring energy.
And the father tells the son, who got in touch with me,
"We are measuring energy coming out of this pyramid
that is enough
to power the entire country of Canada."
[Childress]
are pretty interesting.
And you've got to wonder
if there is not some kind of power plant
that's there underground in the middle of Alaska.
And if this Dark Pyramid isn't some kind
of extraterrestrial base

Towering over the landscape,
at an elevation of more than 14,000 feet
stands Mt. Shasta.
This rugged peak has been the location
of strange and incredible stories
for thousands of years.
[wind whistling]
[Nick]
there are multiple strange events taking place.
UFO sightings...
paranormal events,
strange disappearances...
that go back throughout history.
Indeed, one can look to certain Native American legends,
for example,
to say that Mt. Shasta
has always been associated with strange goings-on.
[narrator]
such as the Shasta,
Wintu, Modoc and Karuk have inhabited the area
for more than 12 centuries.
Each revere Mt. Shasta as a place where sky beings
landed on the Earth and created civilization.
The local people believe that in ancient times
the great sky chief Skell came down from the sky
to live in Shasta and has been there ever since
and protects it.
[narrator]
had been encountering UFOs for more than 100 years.
Almost everyone who live there has seen something unusual.
In one of the most remarkable UFO sightings
I've heard of, it took place in 2008.
Witnesses in the town of McCloud
saw a UFO that looked like a giant glowing jellyfish
move over the town
-and then...
fly off into the distance.
[Jack]
and around 7:00, 6:30, seven in the evening
in the summertime.
All of a sudden, I looked up in the mountain
and I seen the whole mountain
towards Yreka side open up.
And then this big ship came
and sat there and hovered for a minute and went right in.
And the next thing you know, the mountain closed and...
I was like, "What is going on?"
I never let things like that bother me, no.
I've seen things like that all the time.
[suspenseful music]
[Nick]
of very significant UFO sightings
around Mt. Shasta.
And you have to wonder, why is that the case?
I don't think we can rule out the idea
of some sort of permanent presence
buried deep within Mt. Shasta itself.
[narrator]
inside Mt. Shasta?
In November 2020,
author and researcher William Henry,
along with local historian Dustin Naef,
set out to explore Pluto's Cave on the slopes of Mt. Shasta.
[William] That is just spectacular.
[narrator]
to have encountered mysterious beings
emerging from inside the mountain.
[Dustin]
that has always believed that
these caves and tunnels contain a civilization
full of people just like you and I
and they come back and forth
through portals hidden in these caves.
If you look at the USGS charts,
there's an immense negative magnetic anomaly there
that surrounds Mt. Shasta.
[William]
[Dustin]
and paranormal phenomena actually occurs
in places that have magnetic anomalies.
And used as a portal
between inter-Earth realm
-and the stars. -Yeah.
Anything capable of generating energy like that
could be conceptualized as a portal.
I've had people actually contact me
and tell me they've seen people in this very cave
walk right into a wall, and vanish.
Wow.
[tense music]
[Andrew]
Mt. Shasta has been known for entities
that manifest out of the mountain,
they appear, they travel,
and then they disappear.
And this would seem to have led
to the belief that there might be some kind
of secret alien base
actually deep within that mountain.
[Giorgio] Number one, the moon.
[narrator]
make history by becoming the third and fourth person
to land on the moon.
After they return to the command module,
they detach the lunar module
and crash it into the moon's surface.
Upon impact, something unexpected happened.
The moon reverberates for more than an hour.
With Apollo 12, people refer to a crash.
It wasn't really a crash.
It was an aimed de-orbit of the rocket
used to lift off the lunar module.
And the crew separated the launch vehicle,
and crashed it back into the ground
right close to where they'd had a seismograph
that they had installed down there.
Well, it vibrated.
So it was kind of an early clue
as to how solid was the surface of the moon.
What was amazing about this is that the moon began to ring
like a bell and did so for nearly an hour.
Dr. Wernher von Braun, who is then the head of NASA,
decided that for Apollo 13,
they were gonna intentionally crash a heavier portion
of the rocket into the lunar surface,
And when they did this,
the moon rang like a gong this time
for over three hours
into a depth of over 20 miles.
This was not expected,
and it still puzzles a lot of scientists today.
The inferences that the moon must be hollow
because the moon is made, predominantly on the surface,
of a kind of rock called basalts.
Although it's a very lightweight rock,
it also absorbs impact extremely well.
And so, if the whole of the moon
was made of that kind of rock,
you wouldn't expect it to reverberate
when a large impact took place.
The reason that this is played down
is because the idea of the moon being hollow,
uh, just contradicts what we know about physics.
[narrator]
Intelligent Life in the Universe,
renowned scientist and astronomer Carl Sagan
defined modern scholarship
regarding the composition of celestial bodies
throughout the cosmos.
Carl Sagan suggested that a natural satellite
cannot be a hollow object.
This is very odd
because why would the moon be vibrating
unless it's a hollow object.
That would suggest it's artificial.
[narrator]
but an artificial structure?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
It would seem to be that our moon
is some kind of gigantic artificial spaceship
that is here to monitor our planet
and it only makes sense
that if extraterrestrials are coming to Earth,
that they would be using the moon
as a kind of forward base for our planet.
It's perfect for observing
and coming to and from planet Earth
and going to other planets or solar systems.
