  • Throughout history, there have been sudden and dramatic leaps in human evolution that may be caused by extraterrestrial intervention.

  • Historic accounts of animalist gods from around the world, including insectoid and reptilian deities, curiously mirror modern alien encounters, which may point to a direct extraterrestrial tie to the strange cryptids of Earth.

  • From the curious discoveries made at the Great Pyramid, at Teotihuacan and Stonehenge, new evidence may suggest that these structures are not only connected, but also part of a more profound network.

  • Lost cities, ancient texts, mysterious carvings, and unexplained structures provide clues to a long-forgotten time that goes further back in history than imagined.

  • Thousands of UFO sightings are reported in the United States every year, and many of them center around U.S. military operations; the United States government has officially acknowledged that it is investigating unidentified aerial phenomena.

  • With technological advancements, humanity has entered a new era in the search for life outside the planet; man's quest to understand the universe could be built into DNA.

  • Whether inscriptions, enigmatic crop formations and encoded sacred architecture signify communication with extraterrestrial visitors.

  • Strange activity, UFOs, bizarre orbs of light and electromagnetic anomalies are regularly witnessed around the world; many of these sites correspond to locations where ancient civilizations chose to build and rebuild their most sacred architecture.

  • There are great minds that can predict the future, seers who possess extrasensory abilities and visionaries that almost push humanity forward into a new age; these great thinkers have credited their genius to outside inspiration.

  • Tens of thousands of individuals go missing every year and many are never found; this is not a new phenomenon.

  • Since the start of the Space Race, humanity has been driven to leave Earth and explore the cosmos. There have been long-standing rumors about the true source for the extraordinary technology that launched us to the moon, curious statements made by returning astronauts, and even impossible architecture allegedly found on the Moon and Mars. Might our space program already have evidence that intelligent life exists in the universe--and that we are not alone?

  • Across the globe, ruins, statues and carvings appear to connect diverse ancient civilizations to one another; examining whether shared legends of sky gods and visitors from space point to a planet-wide extraterrestrial connection.

  • Whether stories of flying serpents, fire-breathing dragons and other-worldly beings are more than mere mythology; exploring the similarities of these legends and reports of modern-day alien encounters and whether they are one and the same.
