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. <i> Number three, the Dark Pyramid
of Alaska.</i> [suspenseful music] [narrator]<i> Alaska, the largest
of all US states.</i> <i> It's home
to the nation's highest peak,</i> <i> its biggest national park,</i> <i> and more coastline
than all other states combined.</i> <i> For ancient
astronaut theorists,</i> <i> the dense uninhabited
wilderness of Alaska</i> <i> conceals a multitude
of mysteries</i> <i> and perhaps
an extraterrestrial presence.</i> [Andrew]<i> Within this area,</i> <i> incredible amount
of weird things take place.</i> We have paranormal activity, the appearance
of strange cryptids, and other monsters
of time and space, <i> as well as the manifestation
of UFOs and mysterious lights.</i> [mysterious whirring] [<i> narrator] Within this region
of anomalous activity</i> <i> stands Mt. Hayes,
one of Alaska's tallest peaks</i> <i>and a place where UFO sightings</i> <i> are reported
with great frequency.</i> Many people have seen UFOs,
flying saucers, strange lights flying in
and around Mt. Hayes. -[wind whistling]<i>
-Now, there's no road</i> <i> that can go up there.</i> <i> Only way to get to Mt. Hayes
is to actually fly there,</i> <i> which most people don't do.</i> So what are these craft that are flying around
Mt. Hayes? [narrator]<i> For decades,</i> <i> eyewitness testimony
was the only evidence</i> <i> to support the notion that
Mt. Hayes was a UFO hotspot.</i> <i> But in 1995,
declassified CIA documents</i> <i> revealed that Mt. Hayes</i> <i> was the focus of a top-secret
government project</i> <i> called "Stargate."</i> [Hugh]<i> Researchers were looking
through CIA documents</i> <i> and they found evidence</i> <i> of a project underneath
Mt. Hayes.</i> And they say they saw,
written in these records, that it was actually
an alien underground base in this area. [narrator]<i> Could there be
a hidden extraterrestrial base</i> <i> in Alaska?</i> <i> While the idea
sounds far-fetched,</i> <i> in 1992,</i> <i> US geologists detected
a mysterious pyramidal object</i> <i> underneath Mt. Denali.</i> <i> Seismic instruments reveal</i> <i> the top of the 550-foot-tall
pyramidal object</i> <i> lies 150 feet below ground</i> <i> and just 130 miles southwest
of Mt. Hayes.</i> <i> Many researcher believe
it is an artificial structure</i> <i> which is become known
as the Dark Pyramid.</i> [tense music] The Dark Pyramid is this
massive pyramidal structure under Mt. Denali, <i> which is said
to be twice the size</i> <i> of the Great Pyramid of Giza</i> <i> and made of black stone.</i> [narrator]<i> Investigative
journalist Linda Moulton Howe</i> <i> has spent years researching
the Dark Pyramid</i> <i> and has interviewed
a number of people</i> <i> who claimed
to have information,</i> <i> including one man
who claims his father</i> <i> has actually been
inside the Dark Pyramid.</i> He said that his father
was working for Western Electric <i> and ended up</i> <i> as a very skilled
electronic engineer</i> <i> being asked to go
to a location</i> <i> west of what was Mt. Denali.</i> <i> His father told him that there
was a big freight elevator</i> <i> that was sticking up
out of the ground</i> <i>and when you got to the bottom,</i> opened up into full bore...
room, work, offices. <i> The father is introduced
to the fact</i> <i> that they are at the bottom
of a pyramid</i> <i> and that each
of the three corners,</i> they have these offices that were actually
monitoring energy. <i> And the father tells the son,
who got in touch with me,</i> <i> "We are measuring energy
coming out of this pyramid</i> <i> that is enough</i> to power the entire country
of Canada." [Childress]<i> The stories
of the Dark Pyramid</i> <i> are pretty interesting.</i> And you've got to wonder if there is not some kind
of power plant <i> that's there underground
in the middle of Alaska.</i> <i> And if this Dark Pyramid
isn't some kind</i> <i> of extraterrestrial base</i> [buzzing sound] [Giorgio]<i> Number two,
Mt. Shasta.</i> <i>[narrator]</i> Northern California. <i> Towering over the landscape,</i> <i> at an elevation
of more than 14,000 feet</i> <i> stands Mt. Shasta.</i> <i> This rugged peak has been
the location</i> <i> of strange
and incredible stories</i> <i> for thousands of years.</i> [wind whistling] [Nick]<i> Mt. Shasta is where</i> there are multiple
strange events taking place. <i> UFO sightings...</i> <i> paranormal events,</i> <i> strange disappearances...</i> <i> that go back
throughout history.</i> <i>Indeed, one can look to certain
Native American legends,</i> <i> for example,</i> <i> to say that Mt. Shasta</i> has always been associated
with strange goings-on. [narrator]<i>
Local indigenous tribes</i> <i> such as the Shasta,</i> <i> Wintu, Modoc and Karuk
have inhabited the area</i> <i> for more than 12 centuries.</i> <i> Each revere Mt. Shasta
as a place where sky beings</i> <i> landed on the Earth
and created civilization.</i> The local people
believe that in ancient times the great sky chief Skell
came down from the sky <i> to live in Shasta
and has been there ever since</i> <i> and protects it.</i> [narrator]<i> The people
who live near Mt. Shasta...</i> <i> had been encountering UFOs
for more than 100 years.</i> Almost everyone who live there
has seen something unusual. <i> In one of the most
remarkable UFO sightings</i> <i> I've heard of,
it took place in 2008.</i> <i> Witnesses in the town
of McCloud</i> <i> saw a UFO that looked like
a giant glowing jellyfish</i> <i> move over the town</i> <i> -and then...</i>
-[whooshes] <i> fly off into the distance.</i> [Jack]<i> I was driving back
from Klamath Falls</i> <i> and around 7:00, 6:30,
seven in the evening</i> <i> in the summertime.</i> All of a sudden, I looked up
in the mountain and I seen the whole mountain towards Yreka side open up. <i> And then this big ship came</i> <i> and sat there and hovered
for a minute and went right in.</i> <i> And the next thing you know,
the mountain closed and...</i> <i> I was like,
"What is going on?"</i> I never let things
like that bother me, no. I've seen things like that
all the time. [suspenseful music] [Nick]<i> Over the years,
there have been a number</i> of very significant
UFO sightings around Mt. Shasta. <i> And you have to wonder,
why is that the case?</i> <i> I don't think
we can rule out the idea</i> <i> of some sort
of permanent presence</i> <i> buried deep
within Mt. Shasta itself.</i> [narrator]<i> Could alien beings
really be living</i> <i> inside Mt. Shasta?</i> <i> In November 2020,</i> <i> author and researcher
William Henry,</i> <i> along with local historian
Dustin Naef,</i> <i>set out to explore Pluto's Cave
on the slopes of Mt. Shasta.</i> [William]
That is just spectacular. [narrator]<i> It is here where
numerous eyewitnesses claim</i> <i> to have encountered
mysterious beings</i> <i> emerging
from inside the mountain.</i> [Dustin]<i> There is a really big
subculture here in Mt. Shasta</i> <i> that has always believed that</i> 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. <i>If you look at the USGS charts,</i> <i> there's an immense negative
magnetic anomaly there</i> <i> that surrounds Mt. Shasta.</i> [William]<i> That's the lay line
they describe here?</i> [Dustin]<i> Yeah, a lot of psychic</i> <i> and paranormal phenomena
actually occurs</i> 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]<i> For many hundreds
of years,</i> <i> Mt. Shasta has been known
for entities</i> that manifest out
of the mountain, they appear, they travel, and then they disappear. <i> And this would seem
to have led</i> <i> to the belief
that there might be some kind</i> <i> of secret alien base</i> <i> actually deep
within that mountain.</i> <i> [Giorgio] Number one,
the moon.</i> [narrator]<i> November 20, 1969.</i> [narrator]<i> Apollo 12 astronauts
Pete Conrad and Allan Bean</i> <i> make history by becoming
the third and fourth person</i> <i> to land on the moon.</i> <i> After they return
to the command module,</i> <i> they detach the lunar module</i> <i> and crash it
into the moon's surface.</i> <i> Upon impact,
something unexpected happened.</i> <i> The moon reverberates
for more than an hour.</i> With Apollo 12,
people refer to a crash. It wasn't really a crash. It was an aimed de-orbit
of the rocket <i> used to lift off
the lunar module.</i> <i> And the crew separated
the launch vehicle,</i> <i> and crashed it back
into the ground</i> <i> right close to where
they'd had a seismograph</i> <i> that they had installed
down there.</i> <i> Well, it vibrated.</i> <i>So it was kind of an early clue</i> <i> as to how solid was
the surface of the moon.</i> What was amazing about this
is that the moon began to ring like a bell
and did so for nearly an hour. <i> Dr. Wernher von Braun,
who is then the head of NASA,</i> <i> decided that for Apollo 13,</i> <i> they were gonna intentionally
crash a heavier portion</i> <i> of the rocket
into the lunar surface,</i> <i> And when they did this,</i> <i> the moon rang
like a gong this time</i> <i> for over three hours</i> <i> into a depth of over 20 miles.</i> This was not expected, and it still puzzles
a lot of scientists today. <i> The inferences that the moon
must be hollow</i> <i> because the moon is made,
predominantly on the surface,</i> <i> of a kind of rock
called basalts.</i> <i> Although
it's a very lightweight rock,</i> <i> it also absorbs impact
extremely well.</i> <i> And so,
if the whole of the moon</i> <i> was made of that kind of rock,</i> <i> you wouldn't expect it
to reverberate</i> <i>when a large impact took place.</i> 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]<i> In his 1966 book,</i> Intelligent Life
in the Universe, <i> renowned scientist
and astronomer Carl Sagan</i> <i> defined modern scholarship</i> <i> regarding the composition
of celestial bodies</i> <i> throughout the cosmos.</i> Carl Sagan suggested
that a natural satellite cannot be a hollow object. <i> This is very odd</i> <i> because why would the moon
be vibrating</i> <i> unless it's a hollow object.</i> That would suggest
it's artificial. [narrator]<i> Is it possible
the moon is not only hollow,</i> <i> but an artificial structure?</i> <i> Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes.</i> It would seem to be
that our moon is some kind of gigantic
artificial spaceship <i> that is here to monitor
our planet</i> <i> and it only makes sense</i> <i> that if extraterrestrials
are coming to Earth,</i> <i> that they would be
using the moon</i> <i> as a kind of forward base
for our planet.</i> It's perfect for observing and coming to
and from planet Earth <i> and going to other planets
or solar systems.</i> [spacecraft whirring]
