For centuries,
Native Americans have kept alive
some of the oldest traditions
on Earth.
Through oral history
and sacred sites,
the story is told to Indigenous
people for thousands of years.
Their incredible
history is carved into the landscape.
This is sensational.
Look at that guy right there.
They represent those gods
that came to Earth.
And their sacred
rituals display a reverence for the land
and for the ancestors
from the stars.
They're the keepers of the upper
world, which means space.
We don't use the word "gods."
We use the word "creator."
Do the stories
of America's Indigenous people
reveal a long history of contact
with otherworldly visitors?
All Native
American tribes have oral histories
that people came from the stars
to visit them.
I know they're out there.
There is a doorway
in the universe.
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
It demands
we question everything
we have ever been taught.
The evidence is all around us.
The future is
right before our eyes.
We are not alone.
We have never been alone.
Collinsville, Illinois.
15 miles east of St. Louis.
Towering over the flat
local terrain is Monks Mound,
the remains
of a massive earthen pyramid.
Built more than 1,000 years ago,
it was the centerpiece
of the ancient Native American
city of Cahokia.
Monks Mound
is the largest building
of the ancient North America
north of Mexico.
It was called that
because Trappist French monks
lived nearby it.
It stands 100 feet tall today.
It was probably taller
in its heyday.
It comprises of about 22 million
cubic feet of dirt,
which was millions and millions
of buckets of dirt
brought one at a time.
Its circumference
on the bottom is larger
than the Temple of the Sun
just north of Mexico City.
Monks Mound and
other ancient ruins across the Americas
offer clues about
how Native people once lived
in vast, thriving communities.
Yet very little is known
about the inhabitants of Cahokia
and many Native cultures
since most of their history
and traditions
were passed down orally rather
than through written records.
The Native Americans
traditionally use
a oral tradition.
Everything is spoken.
The oral traditions actually
go back thousands of years.
It's just the way it was.
And we've maintained
that tradition even to this day.
It is unknown
what the Native Americans
who inhabited Cahokia
called themselves.
Anthropologists refer to them
as the Mississippians,
a name used to describe
a wide variety of Native peoples
that lived east of the
Mississippi in North America.
And although much about Cahokia
remains a mystery,
what is known is that it thrived
centuries before Europeans ever
stepped foot in the Americas,
as did countless other cities.
Around 1050,
the city swells
to a population of 15,000,
and including the satellite
communities around it,
almost 30,000.
There were a number
of these cities
all around the eastern part
of what's now the United States.
The general picture of Native
America before European contact
is that it's some sort
of just nomadic life,
that they were living
in small bands and camps.
The truth is that there were
thousands of people
living in the same place,
very much the way
the Europeans were.
Across North America,
vast differences existed
between the Native peoples
in terms of language, customs
and cultural practices.
Yet many tribes
shared the tradition
of worshipping a powerful being
known as the Bird Man.
When excavations were performed
at Cahokia in the 20th century,
this motif was found
to be abundant.
The most remarkable example
was connected to the burial
of a man believed to have been
an early Cahokian ruler.
His body had been placed
on an elevated platform
covered by a bed of more than
20,000 marine shell disc beads
arranged in the shape
of a falcon,
with the bird's head
appearing beneath
and beside the man's head
and its wings and tail
beneath his arms and legs.
The Bird Man of Cahokia
is a burial
that was found under a mound
in the center of the city.
And it's called the Bird Man
because there's
this arrangement of shells
that appear to be
in the shape of a bird.
And it makes sense because
we know that the Mississippians
had a supernatural being
who may or may not be a god.
But he's
a very powerful creature
that lives up in the sky.
We see depictions
on also stone tablets.
Native people believed
in the power deity called the Bird Man.
There are a number
of depictions in the remains
of these cultures
of this powerful creature
who could fly and could move
among the different realms
and was essentially the ruling,
uh, god of this reality.
Various descriptions of the Bird Man
can be found
from one tradition to the next,
and some also feature
a similar celestial being
called the thunderbird.
The thunderbird, uh, in Zuni
is described as a being
that came from the sky
that could create lightning.
It could create a lot of noise.
And it was represented
as a being with wings
made out of knives.
Now, the thunderbird
could have been a vehicle.
But way back then, the Indians
had no other reference.
- So they just said...
- it is a bird.
One could argue
that this is a representation
of misunderstood technology
that could illustrate
some type of a flying craft.
Because if you don't have
the terminology for a plane,
well, of course
you're gonna call it a bird.
I mean, pilots even today
call their planes birds.
The Mound Builders,
I believe, were those Indian tribes
that had contact
with the extraterrestrials,
the teachers.
The star ancestors taught
the American Indians
about where they came from,
their different star system,
constellations,
and how they're supposed
to carry out their rituals,
by referring
to their star system,
whether it be Pleiades,
whether it be the Milky Way,
whether it be the Big Dipper.
We don't use the word "gods."
We use the word "creator."
He who has no name
and has all the names.
He's the eye
that oversees everybody.
The creation
story, if you understand it correctly,
we are all from the cosmos.
Our ancestors
were extraterrestrial.
The story is told
to Indigenous people
for thousands of years
through oral history
and through
the petroglyphs and pictographs
and the sacred sites
that continue to be part
of our Native
cultural traditions.
In talking about star people,
all Native American tribes
have these, uh, traditional
oral histories that people came
from the stars to visit them.
And it's universal,
all across the United States,
that these gods,
as we call them today,
came to Earth and visited
to provide knowledge.
The Cherokee talked about,
uh, the star seeds
and the people coming
from the sky.
The Zunis and the Hopis talk
about the star people coming,
and the Mississippi mound people
had the Bird Man culture.
So, here we have these cultures,
and their legends
and lores are about
star ancestors coming down,
giving them information, showing
them science and medicine.
Native American
people have been very clear
when they speak of celestial
beings that imparted knowledge.
And if you compare that
to the ancient astronaut theory,
that's exactly what
it talks about,
that the knowledge was imparted
by beings who visited us.
Could the stories
of the Bird Men and star people
provide an oral history
of alien visitation
among early
Native American tribes?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
and propose that, while
the Indigenous communities
kept no written records,
a historical account
of exactly what they encountered
can be found
carved into the landscape
at an ancient petroglyph site
in Arizona.
In the American Southwest
is a region
known as the Four Corners,
where the boundaries
of Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado and Utah meet.
Most of this region belongs
to semiautonomous
Native American nations,
including the Navajo,
Hopi, Zuni,
Ute and dozens of other
Native American peoples.
They are all thought
to be descendants
of people frequently called the
Ancestral Pueblo, or Anasazi.
The Anasazi, or the old ones,
as we like to refer to them,
were here
in the Four Corners region,
uh, for thousands of years.
And they suddenly, around
1070 AD, just up and disappear.
Their cities are abandoned,
their structures, everything.
Pottery is left.
They don't know what
happened to them.
Archaeological evidence
shows that, between 1275 and 1300 AD,
the Pueblo people
stopped building entirely
and the land was left empty.
They were
a people that inhabited
this Four Corners region
for thousands of years.
It's still a mystery today,
and it's one
of the big mysteries
in the American Southwest.
Similar to the
Mississippian tribes to the east,
the Pueblo nations
also described contact
with visitors from the stars
and performed rituals
to connect with sky beings
called the kachina.
There were objects...
We call them dolls...
But they were sacred objects
that would be similar
to the costumes worn by
the dancers and imagined to be
the appearance
of these celestial beings.
If you look at the kachinas,
there are
so many different types...
Different headdresses,
different feathers on them,
different ways of painting them
to distinguish them
one from another.
And that tells me
that there were a lot
of different types of beings
that were interacting
with early Natives,
much more than we even,
uh, think.
The kachinas
were their first teachers,
the ones
that imparted the knowledge.
The Hopi are very clear
in suggesting
that the kachinas
were physical beings.
The kachina is a representation
of the actual gods that used to
come into the villages eons ago.
Some of them are warriors.
Most of them
are priesthood-type kachinas,
and they come
from different parts...
In my opinion,
different parts of the universe.
But they actually have
certain places on this planet
that they call it home.
Ours is west of here,
and of course
a lot of other pueblos
have their own specific place.
And even to this day,
some of them are here.
The story of strange
humanoid beings assisting Native peoples
has been recounted for centuries
among the Pueblo nations.
Not only is it a central part
of their oral traditions,
these encounters
were so significant
they were carved in stone.
I believe that these
visitations have been documented
in pictographs and petroglyphs.
They're not art, actually,
for art's sake.
The petroglyphs
have been done this way
for basically thousands
of years.
Do petroglyphs
found throughout North America
tell a story of ancient
extraterrestrial contact?
In July 2021,
ancient astronaut theorists
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and William Henry traveled
to Rock Art Ranch
in Winslow, Arizona,
to investigate one
of North America's
most extensive collections
of petroglyphs.
Joining them is esteemed
Navajo Tribal Ranger Jon Dover.
It's so great to meet you
because 31 years,
you've been a Tribal Navajo
Ranger, is that correct?
Yes, uh, I started in 1980,
uh, to 2011.
And, uh, worked,
uh, most of, uh,
- the reservation up there, 27,000 square miles.
- Wow.
This ranch is very unique
because there is
so much archaeology here.
Well, we're sure excited to be
here to get eyes on it with you.
- Okay, well, let's go take a look.
- All right.
Rock Art Ranch's
5,000 acres are home to nearly
3,000 ancient petroglyphs,
and on nearly every panel
are figures that the Navajo
identify as star people.
This is sensational.
Look at that guy right there.
- They call that the birthing mother, right?
- That's right.
Very fascinating
because I'm looking at that
and immediately
my mind goes around the world.
Absolutely.
- This is a depiction of a mother goddess.
- Yep.
It's like
those big giant statues
- that were found over in Europe...
- Right.
But it also reminds me
of Dogu statues of Japan.
- Yeah.
- And also, the Wandjinas.
- Right.
- Very similar.
In the Northwest
Kimberly region of Australia,
ancient cave art depicts
beings called the Wandjina,
the sky heroes of one
of Australia's Indigenous clans.
The stories behind
the Wandjinas goes
that they descended from the sky
and gave knowledge
and jumpstarted civilization
in Australia
thousands and thousands
of years ago.
And the Wandjinas are incredible
because they have
these gigantic heads
and these long bodies
and these arms.
It seems as if they're inside
some sort of a pressurized suit.
There are similar figures
all around the world...
Big bulbous heads, big bodies
floating up in the sky.
In Japan we have
the same things,
in Africa...
in Europe...
in North and South America.
So my suggestion is
that the extraterrestrials
that came to Earth thousands
and thousands of years ago
didn't just visit Australia.
They visited each
and every continent on Earth.
And that is why we have
the similar motifs.
Look at the concentric rings
up there.
That's the portal symbol.
There's two of them.
And there's guys
around the portal,
- on the lower one. Yeah.
- Interesting, yeah.
Tell me, Jon,
petroglyphs are regarded
as picture books
that tell a story all at once.
That's right, and also en-en...
- enmeshed in all this are religious symbols.
- Mm-hmm.
Things that tell you something
about how they worshipped.
- Pictures of gods.
- Mm-hmm.
And when you say
- "gods..."
- Gods, right.
What, in your culture...
- what does that mean?
- It could be anything from
somebody coming to them
and meeting with them
and imparting knowledge.
And in the case of the Navajo,
that's what
the Yeibichai represent.
In the case of the Hopis, the
kachinas represent those gods...
- Right.
- That came to Earth
to give them knowledge.
And could one make the argument
that these may have been
visitations by flesh-and-blood
extraterrestrials
- in ancient times?
- Oh, definitely.
From what we understand,
there's many different
races of alien
that are coming
to-to this world.
- That's amazing.
- In the case of some tribes
down in Southern Arizona,
you even have
a mountain range called
the Estrella Mountains.
In the language of the people
in that area, "Estrella"
means "stargate."
Absolutely.
Estrella... star people.
Am I correct to assume that this
is only the tip of the iceberg,
and that there are so many more
panels like this that the world
doesn't even know about?
On the Navajo reservation alone,
there are 300,000 sites
that are recorded.
I mean, we're talking
at least 4000 BC,
- right?
- That's right.
Well, this is great, but I'm
just looking on the other side,
and there is more.
I mean, there's more everywhere.
So let's go check out
the other ones,
- as well.
- Sure thing.
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and William Henry
have been granted special access
to Rock Art Ranch
in Winslow, Arizona,
where Navajo Tribal elder
Jon Dover is guiding them
through the ancient
petroglyph panels.
- Wow.
- Look at this.
I mean, look at the hollow
body with the star inside.
- Mm-hmm.
- One hand pointing to the sky,
the other down to Earth.
And just beneath that,
look at... that is a Grey alien.
That
triangular head, very strange.
That is a... Yeah, it is.
You have all kinds
of different types of figures,
- different representations of gods.
- Right.
I mean, what we have to fill in
with our imagination
is that these beings
off the wall, 3D,
- walking amongst the people.
- Yeah.
- They're interacting with these beings.
- Right.
We don't know
if it's the same time.
- Right.
- Or could be different times.
That's mind-blowing.
I'm so intrigued by
that double helix up there, too,
beside the trapezoidal figure.
- I mean...
- Mm-hmm, as if to indicate,
because of the creature
on the left, DNA,
- you know, had something to do with this.
- Right.
- That's right.
- Giorgio, uh, when you see
- the guy with the trapezoidal body...
- Mm-hmm.
And you see
the curvy lines on the body,
- that always symbolizes, like, vibration.
- Okay.
The-the Anunnaki wore cloaks
that had those kind of
- curvy lines all over.
- Right.
And so here we have a clear,
clear symbolic connection
with-with the Anunnaki
on this figure.
The Anunnaki were powerful
deities worshipped more than
5,000 years ago by the ancient
Sumerians who inhabited
Mesopotamia, an area
that is now modern-day Iraq.
According to the Sumerian
writings, the Anunnaki
descended upon a mountain,
shining like the sun,
and shared profound wisdom
with the human race.
Look at all the different types
of beings here, and then
all the way across there,
y-you've still got
even more variety.
I mean, this is almost
like a meeting place
of all these different worlds
and different beings.
So, you know, you have giants,
you have little people.
And the giants and the little
people are talked about
in the other world
that they came from
before they came to this world.
So, and this is the same
with Sego Canyon up in Utah.
You have these massive,
massive carvings
and petroglyphs.
So the fact that we have these
virtually identical motifs,
to me, suggests they were all
taught by the same teachers.
And the guy here with the horns,
which could be rays,
right next to the Grey alien.
He's got horns or rays
coming off of his head.
- We see that at Valcamonica in Italy.
- Yes, you do.
You see it all kinds
of different places, but then
pointing to the idea
these could be luminous
or radiant beings
that they're portraying.
And seeing creatures here
- having, for example, three fingers...
- Mm-hmm.
You know, as far as I know, uh,
except for a couple of reptiles,
there aren't
any three-fingered creatures.
- Yeah.
- You know? So, and especially nothing humanoid.
- Right.
- So, again, our ancestors
had impeccable powers
of observation.
That's all they did all day.
They, they observed.
And so your estimation then,
too,
is that this was not
a bunch of kids,
you know, on a Saturday night
not knowing what to do.
Absolutely not.
These were people that came
here with a purpose...
- Mm-hmm.
- And the purpose was to put
their history on the wall
showing where they came from,
where they were going.
Jon, this is incredible,
and what I love the most
is the access.
I mean, I've never been
face-to-face like this.
There's a lot of places
nobody's allowed to go
except for archaeologists,
medicine men,
- and Rangers.
- It's spectacular. It's one thing to see
images in a book
or on a... online,
but to-to come face-to-face
with it, feel the energy,
see it, spectacular.
I came away with this deep sense
that this is meant for us
to discover
throughout the ages, that it was
super important to the ancients
to record this information,
to tell us
that these beings were here.
They had a hand in our evolution
and they're probably
still visiting us today.
What I think is
important in this whole thing is that
Jon said these are our stories
of the star people.
And when First Nation
cultures say
that someone visited from
the sky and imparted knowledge,
I think it's time
that we start to listen.
Do the petroglyphs
at Rock Art Ranch provide
an historical record
of extraterrestrial visitation
in North America?
And if so, why does there
seem to be such a strong
connection
between Native Americans
and otherworldly beings?
Perhaps further clues can
be found within oral traditions
that describe strange beings
known as...
the ant men.
In the desolate high
desert of the American Southwest
stand the ruins of the most
important ceremonial site
of the ancient Pueblo people.
Constructed around 900 AD,
the central feature
of this vast complex
is the Great Kiva.
A kiva is basically,
um, a Native American version
of a church.
It is a circular structure.
Chaco Canyon has
an absolutely giant one
that's located there.
When you enter one you're
literally entering another world
to commune
with the gods from before.
In ancient Pueblo culture,
every place you went had
a small kiva of some kind.
But they would get together
maybe eight or nine
different kivas,
small ones,
into a larger great kiva,
and the great kivas were huge.
When the Spanish came in
in the 1600s,
they took their church
and interposed it
on top of the kiva.
So everywhere
in these Hopi villages,
in the Pueblo villages
that you see a Catholic church,
it's usually
on the high point of land
where the kiva was destroyed
and the church
was built over the top of it.
Every kiva
includes a feature called a sipapu.
In some kivas,
the sipapu is a small hole
in the subterranean wall.
In kivas that are enclosed,
it is often represented
by a hole in the roof.
In both cases, it is the most
important part of the structure,
symbolizing the entrance
to a subterranean world.
All of the Pueblos share a story
in which humankind
began under the earth.
And we slowly,
over generations, crawled up
and out of a hole called sipapu.
And the kivas have this little
hole in it symbolizing that.
The descendants
of the Ancestral Pueblo
share the belief
that Earth was populated
three separate times
before the era of modern humans,
with each previous age
ending
in a devastating cataclysm.
The Pueblo Indians believe that
there in fact were three worlds,
or epochs, before ours.
And they were all destroyed.
The first by fire,
the second by ice,
and the third by water.
In each instance,
they tell us that it was due
to mistreatment of the Earth,
and so that tells us
that there could have been
previous examples of humanity
that were destroyed
who knows how long ago.
We're living
now in the fourth world.
And the Zunis and Hopis believe
our fourth world will also end
in a cataclysm.
Their prophecy
says that there would be a,
a gourd of ashes
that would come from the sky.
That's interpreted
as nuclear warfare.
The Hopi suggest
that there were previous worlds
or civilizations before,
and this is interesting because
there are other cultures,
ancient cultures,
around the world,
who speak of similar stories.
The Kabbalah
teaches that there were previous
advanced human civilizations.
A number of them.
The Hindus teach
about the Yugas,
where civilization advances
to a very high place and then
descends and then re-ascends.
It, too, is divided
into four different ages.
So all of these traditions
corresponds directly
with what the Native American
tradition is teaching.
Could the
Native American tradition
describing previous ages
of humankind be true?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
and suggest that these stories
also contain evidence of
extraterrestrial intervention.
The Hopis of Northern Arizona
have a very curious myth
of surviving
the third of the cataclysms
by going underground and living
with what they call the ant men.
The stories the Hopi tell
us that the ant people rescued them
from cataclysm by taking them
underground, literally,
and helping the Hopi
to survive underground,
and then once it was safe
to return to the surface
of the Earth, the Hopi were
taken up through the sipapu
by the ant people
and repopulated the Earth.
But in all instances,
the ant people are described
as having a special
relationship with the Hopi,
and also of having a connection
with the star realms.
Despite their name,
ant men are described not as insects
but rather
as small humanoid figures.
The reason they call
these creatures "ant men"
is that they lived
under the earth,
and they would emerge much like
ants crawling out of a hive.
So they called them ant men,
but what they were,
were extraterrestrials.
They were entering
our world through the portal.
The ant men
were underground dwellers who
had a high technology
and looked very similar
apparently to what
we would call Grey aliens.
So this is something
of a mystery,
of-of who these ant men were.
Many Hopis and the Zunis
have similar belief that,
yes, the ant men
were extraterrestrials.
There were beings that are
of extraterrestrial origin
that were...
were part of that whole
emergence mythology.
The entrance
to the fourth world.
Could it be
that the story of the ant men
is a genuine account
of extraterrestrials
helping humanity survive
a global cataclysm?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
and suggest further clues
can be found
by comparing
the Native American traditions
to accounts
of a legendary lost continent
called Atlantis.
In his famous
dialogues, Timaeus and Critias,
the Greek philosopher
Plato writes
about a lost continent
that existed 9,000 years
before his time
and was home to
a highly advanced civilization.
Called Atlantis, it was founded
by the Greek god Poseidon,
and the inhabitants possessed
sophisticated technology.
But Atlantis was ultimately
destroyed
by a terrible cataclysm, and
according to some researchers,
the story of its destruction
is strikingly similar
to Native American traditions
detailing the end
of the third world.
The Hopi and other
Pueblo Indians tell us
that their devastating cataclysm
was due to human greed
and wandering away
from the-the spiritual truths
of our creator.
What's interesting
about this is that this idea
is echoed in Plato's story
of the destruction of Atlantis.
The Atlanteans were
also created by gods.
As soon as humanity
wandered off into materialism,
that's when Atlantis was
destroyed by water.
A perfect correspondence
with what the Hopi said
happened at the end
of the third world.
Could there be a connection
between the ancient Greek tale
of Atlantis
and Native American
origin stories?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
another story told
by early Native Americans
bears striking similarities
to Atlantis...
The legend of the lost city
of Aztlán, which appears
in the traditions of the Aztecs
and numerous
Native American groups
throughout the Southwest.
Of the Hopis, so we have
all these oral histories also...
There's debate among scholars
as to exactly
what Aztlán looked like.
And we know that the Aztecs say
that their capital
of Tenochtitlán
was made in the image of Aztlán.
And from that capital,
we get a backwards projection
that their origin place
is an island
surrounded by water.
They actually built
Tenochtitlán up
into the lake
and put causeways out
so that it looks
very much like Atlantis.
According to the Aztecs,
the god Huitzilopochtli
was the founder of Tenochtitlán,
which as far
as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, provides yet
another intriguing connection
to Plato's
description of Atlantis.
Tenochtitlán was
a place made artificially.
Compare it to Atlantis.
In both cases,
a god was the ruler of it.
In Atlantis, we have Poseidon.
Now, Poseidon was
an extraterrestrial.
Not everyone should
have access to Atlantis.
The same thing
in Aztlán or Tenochtitlán.
They wanted to be separated.
They had a certain technology
there which was
a hidden technology, and it was
not for the general public.
See, it's the same thing.
The fact that we have stories
that are not just similar
but identical
leads me to think that perhaps
these ancient cultures
were visited
by the same extraterrestrials.
While mainstream academics
consider the stories
of these lost civilizations
and their destruction
to be mythological,
the recent discovery
of vast sunken landmasses
such as Doggerland,
located just east
of the British Isles in 2012,
and Zealandia,
found near New Zealand in 2017,
may offer proof
that a catastrophic water event
did, in fact,
change the face of the Earth.
So here
we have authentic legends
of lost lands that were
destroyed in cataclysms.
Mainstream historians,
you know, still
pretty much reject this,
feel that it's all myths.
But it would seem
really that all kinds
of civilizations could have
come and gone on our planet.
We know that there are over 200
known submerged cities
in the Mediterranean.
There's just so much
on our planet
that we have yet to find out.
In the Native
American Indigenous teaching,
there are cycles
of destruction and rebirth.
The interesting part is that
this is parallel
to other great world teachings.
In the story of Noah,
the sons of God came down
to Earth.
And they were teaching
the humans evil ways,
and God decided to intervene
and brought this great flood.
In the story of Gilgamesh,
the Sumerian legend,
the council of gods
brought the flood.
The Inca god Viracocha created
the great flood.
So all of these traditions
correspond directly with
the Hopi four worlds tradition
about previous civilizations
destroyed by the gods.
The story is always the same.
This speaks to the idea
of extraterrestrial intervention
in human affairs.
I believe there
are ancient civilizations
that some people
refuse to write about.
But ancient civilizations are
coming to surface
because the time has come
to tell the truth
about human origin.
Could it be
that Native American stories
of star people
and of lost civilizations
so closely resembles
other ancient traditions
from around the globe
because they all encountered
the same otherworldly visitors?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and suggest
the Native Americans'
knowledge of star people
comes not only
from the distant past
but from
the extraterrestrial activity
that occurs over
Native lands even today.
According to
Zuni elder Clifford Mahooty,
above this steep mesa
on the Zuni Reservation,
strange lights are seen
in the sky nearly every night.
The UFO activity here
is very, very,
uh, prevalent because
of the religious system
that we practice every day.
So all around
the whole Zuni reservation
you can look up
in the sky and they're up there.
And they're not stars.
They're not planets.
There's a lot of our people
that, here in Zuni,
have seen them.
When you talk
to many Native Americans,
they'll tell you
that UFO sightings are common
on their Native lands.
And you have to ask,
why is that?
Is it because they have had
these traditions
of the star people
and the star ancestors?
Maybe places like the Zuni
territory and Hopi mesas
have been visited
for thousands of years.
Today, more UFO incidents
are being reported and captured
on camera than ever before.
But while this recent activity
has captured
the public's imagination
and inspired
sensational headlines,
for many Native Americans, it
is nothing out of the ordinary.
In my time working
as a Navajo Ranger,
we had incidences of, uh, UFOs
coming and going all the time.
When we talk to people,
they tell us,
"Oh, yeah,
they're here all the time."
So they just accept it.
And as such, with the knowledge
that I have
and the experiences I've had,
I know they're out there...
I've seen them
numerous, numerous times.
And, uh, it's
just a fact of life.
We must reestablish
the connection
between our star ancestors
by educating and creating
an awareness among the,
the humans on Earth.
We have to establish
an urgency
protecting the sacred sites
and telling the story
of what they mean.
This is the history
of the world.
We are star beings.
As far as being
connected with the star elders,
they gave us
this knowledge, and ours
is a direct relationship
with the...
entities
throughout the universe.
Could contact with star people
as described
in the ancient sacred traditions
still be happening in Native
American communities today?
And if so,
might it be the beginning
of the next Earth cycle?
And a profound new chapter
in the human story?
Perhaps as we learn the truth
about the mysterious objects
in the sky,
we will discover
that the star ancestors
are not merely ancient
figures carved on rocks
but an extraterrestrial presence
that has
been guiding us all along.
