20x03 - The Top Ten Hidden Alien Bases

[bunniefuu]

A mysterious signal

detected beneath

the ice of Antarctica.

A lake in China

where UFOs are seen emerging

from beneath the water.

And powerful magnetic

anomalies observed

near Mount Denali in Alaska.

For over a decade,

Ancient Aliens has investigated

locations notorious

for strange phenomena.

Now we're going to explore

the most compelling

and anomalous sites

we've featured.

Sites that some believe

are hidden alien bases.

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 actually

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.

We start at one of the coldest

places on Earth,

where m*llitary whistleblowers

describe very strange activity

beneath the ice.

At number ten on

our countdown of the top ten

hidden alien bases: Antarctica.

On the bottom of our planet

lies the coldest

and most isolated continent

in the world Antarctica.

The average daily temperature

at the South Pole

is -56 degrees Fahrenheit,

and wind speeds can reach

over 100 miles per hour.

Today, the only inhabitants

of this barren landscape

are a few thousand scientists

who work

in research stations

scattered across the continent.

But most interesting

to ancient astronaut theorists

are reports of

extraterrestrial activity

that is hidden

under Antarctica's ice.

Something seems to be going on

on this mysterious continent

at the South Pole.

And it has been theorized

by a number of people

that Antarctica is

some kind of alien base.

One of the earliest accounts

of extraterrestrial activity

in Antarctica can be found

in a curious report

from the 1930s.

During World w*r II,

the Nazis used

U-boats to go down to

Antarctica and explore it.

Allegedly, they found some

of these caverns beneath the ice

and technology which perhaps

came from extraterrestrials.

After the Nazis

were defeated in 1945,

the U.S. m*llitary sent

an expedition to Antarctica.

According to reports, soon

after the expedition arrived,

they encountered alien craft

coming up out of the water.

Antarctica has had a number of

interesting UFO types of events

since the 1940s that were

very well documented.

Is it possible

that Antarctica is

not only home

to an extraterrestrial presence

but is the location

of a hidden alien base?

Ancient astronaut theorists

say yes

and point

to shocking disclosures

from those on the ground

that validate these claims.

In February 2019,

investigative reporter

Linda Moulton Howe

interviewed a former Navy flight

engineer about his experience

on the condition that she not

reveal his identity.

Her source,

who is identified as "Brian,"

provided her with details of

a mysterious structure he claims

to have seen during

his time in Antarctica.

According to "Brian,"

sometime around October 1985,

he and his team

were instructed to fly

from McMurdo Station

to Davis Camp

to pick up an injured scientist.

A trip that would

take about six hours.

However, they received

strict orders

to avoid flying over a so-called

air-sampling station

that was along

the most direct route.

So, we were given

orders to deviate

I believe it was

30-mile deviation

away from

the air-sampling station.

The officers on board

suggested that we fly

straight over

the air-sampling station

and not deviate, and that would

save us 30 minutes.

- It was a no-fly zone.

- It was a no-fly zone

for that specific region,

um, around the Pole.

When the crew flew over

the area where

the air-sampling station

was supposed to be,

what they observed was

something much different.

There was this giant indentation

that looked like a hole

in the ice that looked

like a snow ramp

that went down into it.

The Polar Plateau at

South Pole is completely flat.

There are no holes there.

Now there's this big,

large hole in the ice

that stood out

like a sore thumb.

It should not have been there.

Is it possible that the strange

hole that Brian saw

was the entrance to a secret,

even extraterrestrial base

that is hidden in Antarctica?

When we think about

the location of an alien base,

our attention should

immediately focus on Antarctica.

It's the perfect location

for an extraterrestrial base

if something was coming

to and from Earth

but wanted a permanent

presence here.

A base beneath the ice

of Antarctica would be

a great location for

extraterrestrials to hide out.

But there is another

compelling site in China,

where it's said

that alien craft emerge

not from under the ice

but from deep underwater.

At number nine on our countdown:

Fuxian Lake.

Yunnan Province, China.

October 24, 1991.

A local fisherman named

Zhang Yuxiang is fishing on

Fuxian Lake during

a clear and tranquil day,

when a mysterious object

suddenly appears in

the vast body of water.

He described it as

a shining disc.

And he said that the wake

from this was so powerful,

it actually tossed

the boat around.

And then rapidly this craft

just disappeared

up into the sky.

Could it be that

an extraterrestrial base

is located deep underwater?

Perhaps clues can be found

in historic accounts

of USOs, or unidentified

submersible objects,

that have been seen at Fuxian

Lake for hundreds of years.

According to Chen Jang Fu Zhi,

a book written during

the reign of Emperor Daoguang

in the Qing Dynasty,

a horse-like monster

lived in the lake.

The animal was described

as being white

with red spots on its back.

More intriguingly,

it was a creature that could

actually take to the skies.

Is it possible

that the UFOs emerging

from the water are

evidence of an alien base

hidden deep beneath

the surface of Fuxian Lake?

Ancient astronaut theorists say

yes and point to evidence

of an underwater city

that was recently discovered

in this large body of water.

Ancient Chinese records

speak of a city

in the area of

Fuxian Lake called Yuyuan.

However, studies of

the underwater structures

show that it's actually

much older

than this Yuyuan city.

So you have to wonder,

is this some kind of

underwater

extraterrestrial base?

In 2014, a mysterious structure

was discovered

off the coast

of Southern California

that some believe presents some

of the best evidence yet

that extraterrestrials

are residing on the ocean floor.

Number eight on our countdown

of the top ten hidden

alien bases:

the Malibu USO base.

With almost 30 miles

of coastline,

this picturesque region

boasts spectacular beaches,

abundant hiking trails,

and world-famous surfing.

It's also a hot spot

for sightings

of mysterious lights

in the water.

Folks have seen lights

in the water outside

Point Dume off the Malibu coast.

Off the coast of Malibu,

USOs are phenomenally common.

A USO is an unidentified

submersible object.

One theory

about this trans-medium travel

and these USOs is that

what we're seeing

is evidence of underwater bases.

They're operating here,

but under the oceans,

right under our noses.

Is it possible that there is

an extraterrestrial base

in the oceans

around Southern California?

Many UFO researchers say yes

and point to satellite

images captured in 2014

that reveal a curious

formation on the seabed

six miles off the coast

of Malibu.

The satellite photos show

what seems to be

an oval, flat-topped structure

that's got legs coming down

that are holding it up.

It's about 2,000 feet

underwater.

A lot of people got

very excited by this discovery.

It's really quite striking, and

it really does look artificial.

And it makes you wonder,

is this, as some believe,

an extraterrestrial base?

Is there a connection

between the strange lights

seen in the waters off

the coast of Southern California

and the mysterious

undersea structure

captured in the satellite image?

For scientists it's

a distinct possibility.

If all these objects

are observing us,

they must have a base

of operations.

So perhaps there's

an underwater base

that is away from

prying eyes of humans.

That cannot be ruled out.

I find it fascinating

that all around the world,

ancient people referred

to mountaintops

as the home of the gods.

And at one summit in Greece,

there is an ancient structure

that is described

as the actual landing spot

of an otherworldly being.

Number seven on our list

of the top ten

hidden alien bases:

the dragon house.

Euboea, Greece.

This majestic island is famous

for its crystal-clear waters,

white sand beaches

and charming villages.

But dotting the landscape

are mysterious structures

that some researchers believe

have an otherworldly connection.

In Greece, we find these

highly mysterious buildings

referred to as dragon houses.

These are megalithic structures

that are built out of

these very large stones.

Of the 25 dragon houses

in Euboea,

the one that is

believed to be the oldest

is of particular interest

to ancient astronaut theorists.

The main dragon house

is at the very top

of one of the tallest mountains

on the island called Mount Ochi.

And it is one of the largest

megalithic structures

in all of Greece.

According to legend,

the dragon house on top

of Mount Ochi

was built to venerate

the arrival of

otherworldly visitors.

The reason why they're

called dragon houses

is because it is thought

that Zeus

descended from

the sky in a dragon.

Countless times, our ancestors

referred to these things

up in the sky as dragons.

And why?

Because there was

a lot of smoke and fire.

From the ancient

astronaut perspective,

the dragon was never a dragon.

It was a flying craft.

In my opinion,

this was an

extraterrestrial visitation

where Zeus may have

descended in his craft

and built a day camp.

Could the dragon house

at the top of Mount Ochi

be the remnants of a hidden base

where otherworldly beings

landed in the distant past?

Ancient astronaut

theorists say yes,

and suggest evidence of this

can be found

in the structure's

remote location.

Archaeologists have

a hard time explaining why

it was even built there

because we are talking

of this gigantic,

megalithic structure

with a ceiling

that contains blocks

that are up to ten feet long,

two feet thick,

at an altitude of 5,000 feet.

So why any people

back in the day

would build something up there

would make no sense

unless you wanted to

be closer to the gods.

Now, when you put

all this together,

this sounds like

the dragon house

is a meeting place of

heaven and Earth.

In UFO vernacular,

that would be a landing spot.

When it comes

to mysterious locations

that might be

hiding alien bases,

one of the most extraordinary

can be found high up

in the Himalayas.

According to local legends,

there is a snow-capped peak

that contains a secret entrance

to a city of the gods.

Number six on our list:

Mount Kailash.

Tibet.

Standing amongst

the mighty Himalayas

is the most important mountain

for many of the region's

three million Buddhists,

Mount Kailash.

According to ancient

Buddhist texts

known as the Kalachakra tantra,

Mount Kailash is the location

of a secret kingdom

where heavenly beings

reside on Earth.

It's known as Shambhala.

The Buddhists in Tibet

have a very strong tradition

of a place called Shambhala.

Shambhala is a secret city.

It's said to be underground.

It's ruled by kings

who live for hundreds of years.

They have wonderful technology.

There are flying saucers

and things like that.

The Himalayan region is

filled with stories

of so-called celestial beings

that descended from the sky

in flying vehicles.

According to some of

the earliest Sanskrit texts,

the first Buddha

that ever walked the Earth

was nine feet tall,

had light blue skin,

and his arms reached all

the way down to his knees.

The reason why

this area of the world

has become a religious center

is because of the arrival of

the extraterrestrials.

Curiously, many

who have explored

this sacred peak have observed

mysterious objects in the sky.

Mount Kailash

is at the center

of all sorts of mysteries.

UFO sightings,

the hint that there might be

something hidden there,

but it's unknowable.

Is it possible

that the mysterious phenomena

occurring at Mount Kailash,

and its association

with Shambhala

is connected to

a hidden extraterrestrial base?

Ancient astronaut theorists

suggest answers can be found

by studying the sacred

Buddhist monuments

known as stupas.

A stupa, by definition,

is a vehicle

with which to reach

the realm of the gods.

That is

the definition of a stupa.

Well, just change

the wording of vehicle

with which to reach space.

For centuries, people

have been sighting UFOs

coming in

and out of Mount Kailash.

It's very interesting

when you compare

the shape of the stupas

that we find in Tibet,

with these dome shapes,

and how they highly resemble

flying saucers

sitting on the ground.

So, perhaps people saw these

craft entering into Kailash

and decided

we're gonna build stupas

in remembrance of what they saw.

Might the Buddhist

stupas of Tibet

be monuments to alien craft

witnessed flying in

and around Mount Kailash?

Could it be that somewhere

on the slopes of this mountain

is the entrance to

a hidden extraterrestrial base?

Mount Kailash is known

as the gateway to Shambhala.

There are many myths and legends

and strange things that have

gone on at Mount Kailash.

People go there on pilgrimages,

but they're told

not to stay there long

because there's something

radioactive inside the mountain.

And we're told that

people live there,

both in physical form

and in nonphysical form.

It has to be one of the

strangest places on the planet.

We're coming up on the halfway point

of our countdown of

the top ten hidden alien bases,

and this next location has

documented anomalous activity

for thousands of years.

Perched high in

the Italian Alps is a mountain

that is said to be

a destination for UFOs.

Number five on our list:

Mount Musinè.

Turin, Italy.

Situated on the western

bank of the Po River,

this city of nearly

two million people

is an important

international business hub.

But overlooking this

modern metropolis

is Italy's most mysterious,

and infamous, ancient site:

Mount Musinè.

Rising to an elevation

of nearly 4,000 feet,

Mount Musinè has stood

at a unique crossroads

of history and

mysterious phenomenon.

This is a mountain

where, over the years,

almost to the beginning

of recorded human history,

strange things have been seen.

Lights were seen.

There has been all sorts

of weirdness on this mountain.

Local legends passed

down from ancient times

tell about this mountain being

home to werewolves and wizards.

And in the 4th century AD,

the Roman Emperor Constantine

saw a cross floating in

the sky over the mountain,

which inspired him to convert

the empire to Christianity.

This light phenomenon

and unusual activity

on Mount Musinè

has been going on for

thousands of years,

and continues to this day.

In 1933,

it's claimed that a UFO crashed

in the Lombardy region of Italy.

This was apparently

an object around

50 feet in diameter,

like two saucers

joined together.

It was described as being

grayish in color and metallic,

and apparently, it was

then taken by the m*llitary

and studied

on the personal orders

of the then dictator

Benito Mussolini.

According to some accounts,

the UFO crashed

near the city of Magenta,

just 80 miles northeast of

Mount Musinè.

For ancient

astronauts theorists,

the proximity to Mount Musinè

is no coincidence.

Let's just suppose that

the common thread here

is actually Earth energies,

which the UFOs know about

and use, perhaps,

to draw the energy

that they need.

So, might we be dealing with,

not just visitation,

but a more permanent facility?

When we try

to come to a conclusion

or a summation about

what is going on in Italy,

going back from prehistoric

times to modern times,

the common element is

the gods came to this

very specific place

because of something

at Mount Musinè.

Something either

in the mountain or something

that was placed there by them.

The reports

of extraterrestrial craft

at Mount Musinè

are certainly compelling.

But at this next site

in New Mexico,

witnesses claim

to have had actual encounters

with alien beings.

At number four:

the Dulce underground base.

Dulce, New Mexico.

Towering over this small town

in the northern part

of the state

is the Archuleta Mesa.

This region has been home to the

Jicarilla Apache Indian Tribe

for over six centuries.

Their oral histories

date back hundreds of years

and are filled with stories

of mysterious beings

who came from the stars

and live underground.

I was working

in Dulce, New Mexico,

and I had been told that

the Apaches wanted to talk to me

where several had seen

a huge glowing disc,

and they wanted to tell me

that they knew for a fact

that the star people

are some type of beings

that are underground in Dulce

at Mount Archuleta

and Archuleta Mesa.

According

to government insiders,

located nearly two miles

beneath Mount Archuleta

is a secret subterranean

m*llitary installation

known as

the Dulce Air Force Base.

Whistleblower Phil Schneider

claimed to have worked

on the construction

of this underground base

for the U.S. government.

Phil Schneider was

a very interesting geologist

used by the U.S. government

to do excavations

of large areas

under m*llitary contract

where they were essentially

going to be building

large caverns and connecting

underground passageways.

On May 8, 1995,

Schneider gave a presentation

in Post Falls, Idaho

and claimed he was att*cked

by extraterrestrials

deep underground.

Part of what

I'm going to tell you

is going to be very shocking.

I was involved in 1979

in a horrendous firefight with

alien-human type

whatever you want to call them.

And, uh, I was

one of the survivors.

66 Secret Service agents,

FBI, and the like,

Black Berets,

d*ed in that firefight.

Basically, what had occurred

was that we surprised a whole

under-mountain base

of existing aliens.

Is there really

a secret m*llitary base

hidden deep in the mountains

of Dulce, New Mexico?

One that is occupied

by extraterrestrial beings?

While the idea might sound

like science fiction,

a similar base exists

within Cheyenne Mountain

outside Colorado Springs.

This is a mountain

that has been hollowed out

by the U.S. m*llitary.

It's the NORAD central command.

But, in Dulce, New Mexico,

the U.S. government is saying

that there's nothing there,

they have no

m*llitary base there,

and yet,

people who live there say there

is something going on here.

And so, perhaps, at Dulce,

one day they will admit,

yes, we were

doing something there.

If Aliens are here on Earth,

it makes sense

that they would be hiding out in

remote and isolated locations.

And one of the most

compelling places

we've examined on

Ancient Aliens is a spot

in Alaska that is concealed

deep underground.

According to

government whistleblowers,

it is the site

of an ancient structure

that was built with

extraterrestrial technology.

Number three on our countdown

of the top ten

hidden alien bases:

the Dark Pyramid of Alaska.

The largest of all U.S. states.

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.

Within this area,

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.

Within this region

of anomalous activity

stands Mount 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

Mount Hayes.

Now there's no road

that can go up there.

The only way to get

to Mount Hayes is to actually

fly there,

which most people don't do.

So, what are these craft that

are flying around Mount Hayes?

For decades,

eyewitness testimony

was the only evidence

to support the notion

that Mount Hayes

was a UFO hotspot.

But in 1995,

declassified CIA documents

revealed that Mount Hayes

was the focus

of a top secret government

project called "Stargate."

Researchers were looking

through CIA documents,

and they found evidence of a

project underneath Mount Hayes.

And they say they saw,

written in these records,

that it was actually an alien

underground base in this area.

Could there be a hidden

extraterrestrial base in Alaska?

While the idea

sounds farfetched, in 1992,

U.S. geologists detected

a mysterious pyramidal object

underneath Mount Denali.

Seismic instruments revealed

that the top of the

550-foot-tall pyramidal object

lies 150 feet below ground

and just 130 miles southwest

of Mount Hayes.

Many researchers believe

it is an artificial structure,

which has become known

as the "Dark Pyramid."

The Dark Pyramid is this

massive pyramidal structure

under Mount Denali,

which is said

to be twice the size

of the Great Pyramid of Giza

and made of black stone.

Investigative journalist

Linda Moulton Howe

has spent years researching

the Dark Pyramid

and has interviewed

a number of people

who claim to have information

about the mysterious

underground structure,

including one man

who claims his father

has actually been inside

the Dark Pyramid.

He said that his, uh, 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 Mount 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, at each

of the three corners,

they had 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."

The stories of the Dark Pyramid

are pretty interesting,

and you've got to wonder

if there is not some kind of

powerplant

that's there underground

in the middle of Alaska,

and if this dark pyramid

isn't some kind of

extraterrestrial base.

Northern California is home

to one of the most mysterious

places on Earth.

It's a mountain that is said

to have been inhabited

by otherworldly beings

for thousands of years

and a place where UFOs

are witnessed

on a regular basis

to this very day.

Number two on our countdown

of the top ten hidden

alien bases: Mount Shasta.

Northern California.

Towering over the landscape,

at an elevation

of more than 14,000 feet

stands Mount Shasta.

This rugged peak has been

the location

of strange and incredible

stories for thousands of years.

Mount Shasta is where there are

multiple strange events

taking place.

UFO sightings,

paranormal events,

strange disappearances

that go back

throughout history.

And indeed,

one can look to certain

Native American legends,

for example,

to say that Mount Shasta

has always

been associated

with strange goings on.

Local Indigenous tribes,

such as the Shasta,

Wintu, Modoc,

and Karuk have inhabited

the area for

more than 12 centuries.

Each revere Mount 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.

The people who live

near Mount Shasta

have been encountering UFOs

for more than a hundred years.

Almost everyone who lives there

has-has seen something unusual.

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.

I was driving back

from Klamath Falls,

eh, around 7:00, 6:30-7:00 in

the evening in the summertime.

All of a sudden I looked up

on the mountain and I seen

the whole mountain

toward Yreka side open up.

And then this big ship came

and sat there

and hovered for a minute

and then went right in.

And next thing you know,

the mountain closed,

and I was like,

"What is going on?"

I never let things

like that bother me now.

I've seen things

like that all the time.

Over the years,

there have been a number

of very significant

UFO sightings

around Mount 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 Mount Shasta itself.

Could alien beings really be

living inside Mount 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 Mount Shasta.

That is just spectacular.

It is here where numerous

eyewitnesses claim to have

encountered mysterious beings

emerging from inside

the mountain.

There's a really big subculture

here in Mount Shasta 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 on the USGS charts,

there's an immense

negative magnetic anomaly

that surrounds Mount Shasta.

That's the lay line

they describe here, right?

Yeah, a lot of psychic and

paranormal phenomena actually

occurs in places

that have magnetic anomalies.

And used as a

as a portal between

the inner Earth realm

and the stars?

Yeah.

Anything capable

of generating, you know,

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.

For many hundreds of years,

Mount 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.

There's only one hidden

alien base left on our list,

and you won't want to miss it.

Because this one is

truly out of this world.

We've finally reached

the end of our countdown

and at the top of our list is

a location that is so remote,

it's not on our planet at all.

Number one on our list

of the top ten hidden

alien bases: the Moon.

Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad

and Alan Bean 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

very unexpected happens.

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,

suddenly, the Moon began

to ring like a bell,

and did so for nearly an hour.

Dr. Wernher von Braun,

who was then the head of NASA,

decided that for Apollo 13,

they were going to 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

and to a depth of over 20 miles.

This was not expected,

and it still puzzles a lot

of scientists today.

The inference is

that the Moon must be hollow

because the Moon is made,

predominantly on the surface,

of a kind of rock

called "basalt."

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.

In his 1966 book,

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.

Is it possible

the Moon is not only hollow,

but an artificial structure?

Ancient astronaut theorists

say yes,

and point to a sensational paper

published in 1970

by Soviet scientists

Mikhail Vasin

and Alexander Shcherbakov.

In it, the scientists propose

that the Moon

is likely a creation

of alien intelligence

that was brought to Earth

in the remote past.

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 the 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.

Is the Moon really

a giant alien base?

It sounds crazy,

but when you look

at all the evidence,

it's an intriguing theory.

And as far

as I'm concerned, each one

of the locations on our list

deserves a closer look,

because whether they're high

in the mountains,

deep underwater,

or even orbiting the planet,

there is incredible evidence

that Earth is home

to extraterrestrial outposts

that are hiding in plain sight.
