imagine what they could tell us i can't
imagine
neither could the humans have built this
temple and neither can you welcome to
watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10 historical events
that were tied to aliens
and the fact that they're buried in rock
that is so old indicates that somebody
sort of scattered them throughout the
planet
the only galactic system that matched
was so far from earth that there's no
way that these primitive
ancient civilizations could have
possibly known about when you consider
the vast amount of information
about the earth that's encoded into the
grey pyramid
you can't just dismiss all of this as
pure coincidence
for this list we'll be looking at the
most astonishing feats and events in
history that people have explained by
pointing at extraterrestrials
we're not going to confirm either way so
consider all this speculation
after all it's not fair to say that
italians but
it's aliens fringe science or fringe
comedy
sound off in the comments number 10
the roswell incident july 8 1947
usa the popular obsession with ufos only
really kicked off in the late 1940s
thanks to sightings like kenneth
arnold's on june 24th
1947. a few weeks later there was
another incident that eventually became
a conspiracy theory staple
in july debris was found in a ranch
close to roswell new mexico
the air force stated that they'd
recovered a flying disc which they
identified as a weather balloon
a resurgence of interest decades later
eventually led to the u.s air force
admitting that it had really been a
top-secret nuclear test surveillance
balloon
but ufologists saw a cover-up within a
cover-up
fake it sorry reconstructed alien
autopsy footage released in 1995
fanned the flames that it had been a
close encounter of the third kind
you two here at roswell area 51
so what i want is a bit of pointing yeah
bit nodding
number nine crystal skulls 19th century
germany let's be honest the kingdom of
the crystal skull
is the fourth best indiana jones movie
however it did revive a lot of interest
in some curious artifacts that have
popped up around the world since the
late 19th century
the purported origin of these hard stone
carvings was pre-columbian mesoamerica
but that of course raises the question
as to how such precise ornaments could
be made without modern day tools its
origin is unknown
and its powers some say are fatal well
studies have revealed that they were
made with modern jewelers equipment
probably in germany however some
conspiracy theorists and members of the
new age movement hold that they have
supernatural powers and perhaps even an
extraterrestrial origin
where do they go space
not into space into the space between
spaces number eight teya tiwa khan
1st to 6th centuries mexico although not
the city's original name
the otherworldly nature of teotihuacan
feels fitting
roughly speaking it means the birthplace
of the gods
this holy city is almost 2000 years old
established in the first century and
flourishing until around 550 a.d
already in ruins by the time of the
aztecs the city remains mysterious
its people's origins unknown we do not
know how they were able to develop a
complete
huge complex citadel in the middle of
nowhere
and able to sustain thousands of
inhabitants
this has inspired fringe theories that
extraterrestrials played a role in the
city's founding or day-to-day life
proponents claim that liquid mercury
discovered below the pyramid of the
feathered serpents
is evidence that the city was a
spaceport for ships using mercury-based
fuel
needless to say archaeologists aren't
exactly on board
number seven the tunguska event june
30th
1908 russia imagine sitting in your
siberian home during the short summer of
1908 enjoying your newspaper when
boom
there's a huge explosion you feel a
blast of heat and your windows are all
gone
that's what happens to the people of
unesco after which the sky was lit up
for days
the obvious explanation is a meteor
strike but there was no
impact crater just 80 million toppled
trees
scientists have suggested that an
asteroid or comet exploded a few miles
above the surface
i think we'd all like to know what's in
that rock however it's been immortalized
in science fiction
as an alien crash site or in the x-files
as a meteorite carrying alien microbes
scientists were able to add more detail
to their theories however in 2013 when
the
chelyabinsk meteor did the exact same
thing
number six moai 1250 to 1500
a.d easter island for believers
the stone statues that are synonymous
with easter island have long been seen
as definitive proof that the earth has
been visited by extraterrestrial life
build another one carved from volcanic
ash by the rapa nui people
they're believed to represent deified
ancestors
the most baffling question is how they
were transported
researchers theorized that they could
have been moved using wooden sleds and
rollers or
ropes to pull them from side to side and
make them walk to their destinations
however for fringe theorists these stone
monoliths
are beyond the abilities of
pre-industrial humans
and the amount of patination suggests
that they are infinitely older than a
thousand years
number five the nazca lines 500 bc
to 500 a.d peru these geoglyphs etched
into peru's nazca desert were thought to
be trails or roads until they were seen
from a plane in the early 1940s
since then historians have been beyond
curious as to their creation and purpose
there are hundreds spread out across the
desert floor some of them simple lines
others complex geometric shapes and
animals
fragmented
how were they made without seeing them
from above to what end
scholars have proposed that they had
astronomical or ritualistic purposes
or that they were created to be seen by
gods in the sky
from the ground they don't look like
anything but from the sky
only the gods can read them but no one
really knows
leaving plenty of room for theories that
aliens lent a hand and even used some as
runways
number four stonehenge 3000 bc
england there have been many suggestions
as to how and why this prehistoric site
was built
chief amongst the more out there ideas
is you guessed it
aliens could you all
[Applause]
again the reasoning behind this lies in
the size and weight of the stones
and how they've been so well placed to
remain upright for thousands of years
the gist of this theory is that ufos
picked up the heaviest stones and laid
them in positions best suited for
celestial communication
since the wheel hadn't been invented yet
and the blue stones came from
150 miles away scientists are
still trying to come up with a
definitive explanation if it wasn't
aliens then how about giants the fact
that we now know that stonehenge was
part of a much
larger superstructure indicates to me
that we've only barely scratched the
surface
number three the nativity circa 4 bc
palestine religious texts are gold mines
for people who believe that
extraterrestrials had a hand in
historical events
common ideas include angels really being
aliens i bring you
love the flood being the result of
extraterrestrial interference
and sodom being destroyed by a wmd
another such event
is the birth of christ it's been
suggested that jesus
was from space or that the star of
bethlehem was a ufo
an idea explored by songwriter chris de
berg in a space man came traveling
then the
[Music]
a long way from here scholars have
argued that the star may have been a
celestial event or simply
fictional believers in ancient aliens
also point to art that supposedly shows
flying saucers above religious figures
number two the pyramids of giza 26th
century bc
egypt the pyramids of giza have always
had an aura of mystery about them
[Music]
from the allegations of curses on tombs
to suggestions that they house sources
of power
they've been enshrined in popular
culture as otherworldly
as archaeologists seek to fill the gaps
in our knowledge
fringe theorists have stepped in
claiming extraterrestrial involvement
if you take the location of the great
pyramid as a coordinate
this number sequence of this coordinate
matches exactly the speed of light
traveling through space it's been argued
that ancient egyptians couldn't have
built such magnificent structures
ergo aliens
[Music]
truth be told the method of their
construction remains debated among
researchers
although they have proposed various
plausible theories involving barges
ramps and ropes the great pyramid was
built the level of technological
sophistication
far in excess of anything that we have
today
still the theory of alien involvement
remains popular
if the giant stone blocks weren't
carried by visitors from another world
we'd bet that ancient egyptian workers
at least wished they were

number one life on earth 3.77 billion
years ago
the idea that life on earth could have
originated elsewhere has actually been
embraced by a number of reputable
scientists
although it isn't the most popular
theory basically it consists of
silicate minerals very much the same
things we see on rocks on the earth's
surface
called panspermia the notion is that a
crashed meteorite could have brought
microbes or at least the building blocks
of life to our planet
the fringe version of this is that life
on earth was seeded by an alien race
deliberately
perhaps we're being studied as a sort of
experiment or zoo
when you look at the development of
earth what you see is that
at every stage the planet got exactly
what it seemed to need
to develop into this beautiful blue
world that we live on
some even go so far as to say that the
biblical first humans adam and eve were
created by extraterrestrial beings
proponents also cite ancient drawings
that seem to depict
otherworldly beings hey no one was there
who knows
i think they want us to come and find
them
