GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: I'm on my way
to Roswell, New Mexico, which is ground zero for modern
day UFO researchers. It's very exciting to
go to a city that's steeped in alien lore, but I'm
not going there to investigate the Roswell crash site, because
that's been done 1,000 times before. My mission involves a much
more recent discovery. I'm headed out to in
search of the Roswell Rock. My name is Giorgio Tsoukalos. I explore the world that
exists between reality and speculation, the
known, and the unknown. What we've been taught
by mainstream scholars is not the whole picture, but
I'm convinced that every day we are one step closer
to the truth. [music playing] On July 7, 1947, an unidentified
object crashed on a ranch just outside the town
of Roswell, New Mexico. The next day the local newspaper
announced that officials from the Army Air field had
reported the capture of a, quote, unquote, flying saucer,
but just a few hours later, the military revised that
statement to say the object was nothing more than
a weather balloon. According to reports, the
government removed all debris from the site of the
crash, and to this day, not a single piece of
evidence has been recovered. Now this to me is the most
fascinating part of the story, because the object that
I'm here to investigate was found near the
vicinity of the crash site. So what if it is the
one piece of evidence the military missed? [music playing] How are you today? Good. How about you? Good, thanks. What can I get you to drink? I'll have some coffee please. Would you like creamer? No, just black. Thank you. What brings you to
Roswell, New Mexico? I'm meeting a guy who
might have potentially found an alien artifact, so
I'm here to investigate. Really? You're not the first one
to ever say that walking into this restaurant. Ever right. Never. A local man named Robert Ridge
discovered the Roswell rock about 10 years ago while
tracking deer in the desert, and he found right near the
area where the UFO allegedly crashed in 1947. And the Roswell Rock is
this small triangular shaped rock of brown color. It has this design
on top of it that isn't etched into the rock, but
it actually protrudes from it. And it's interesting to me that
most people I meet in Roswell have never even
heard of this rock. Robert? Hey, Giorgio. Pleasure to meet you. Thanks so much for
coming on and meeting me. It's great. Fantastic. Have a seat. Yeah. How are you folks? Good. How are you today? Good. Good. Fine. Can I get you
something to drink. So ice tea. Lemon? Please. Did you bring the rock? Yeah. Yeah, I did. Oh, wow. I did not expect
this level of detail. It is smaller than
I had expected, definitely heavier
than I expected. I mean, the precision is-- wow. The Roswell Rock reminds
me of precision cut rocks I've seen before in other parts
of the world like the obelisks in Egypt or
Ollantaytambo in Peru. Are there any strange
properties to this rock. It has some type of
magnetic field in it. A magnetic field? Yeah. How do you mean? Well, it reacts to a magnet. Did you bring a magnet? Sure. I happen to have my
magic wand with me here. It might spin for me today. I don't know for sure, but. Oh, wow. That's interesting. Let me see if I
can-- does anybody-- does it work with
anybody, or is it-- does it only work with you? Well, I guess I'm probably
better at it than most. Wow. That is sure strange. And is this the only space
where it makes it spin. No the other circle-- It does it over here as well. Will send it-- will send it clockwise. Oh, wow. Yeah. There's something else you
might find interesting. You mess with
something long enough, you pretty much learn
everything about it, and so I was Messing
with it one day and I got it to where it would-- it, kind of, draws
to my other hand. You know, I try to keep
this hand is still as I can. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: So
it's almost to reacting with your body energy. Yeah. That is wild. Well, would you be
opposed to show me where you found the rock? Oh, no. I'm up for that. Really? Oh, yeah. Let's go. Check, please. So what do you do for a living? Well, I've been in the
paint and body for basically all my life, and I've
owned my own shops. Oh, that's cool. Excellent. All right, now you're going
to need to take a right up here and then come around,
and you'll, kind of, see the terminal up there. There's a lot of history here. This is the air base. In the 40s, it was the the SAC
base, Strategic Air Command. This is the place that they
brought the debris from the 47 crash. This is the place, so
hangar 84 must be around here. Off over here
somewhere I believe. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Hangar 84
is where the military allegedly took the debris and alien
bodies after the crash in 1947 before eventually moving
them to another location. It's kind of surreal to be
walking on the same tarmac. Here's our pilot. How are you doing? Are we ready to go? We're ready to go. Are you guys ready? Absolutely OK, let's get moving. Sweet. Firing up the engines. Let the adventure began. Yee haw. Now where is the
crash site relation to where you found the rock? It's 11 miles, what
we call the skip sight. What do you mean
by the skip site? It's where the [inaudible]
made contact with the ground first, left a
massive debris field, and then proceeded back towards
the mountain where it finally came to rest. Why do people believe
that that is the sight? Jim Ragsdale
and his girlfriend were up here camping. They actually saw the crash
come in and were the first ones on the scene. That's why they call
it the Ragsdale sight. They supposedly saw the
bodies and everything. There it is. Right here. There's the spot. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
This is it right here. ROBERT RIDGE: Yeah. Wow. So So this is the
trail I was on. And what brought you out here? This is deer
country, you know? This is-- in the right seasons,
in the right time of year, the deer are just thick in here. And I saw fresh deer tracks
across the road in front of me. So I thought I need to get
out and follow these tracks. So I get out and start
following the tracks, and they bring me
around through here. I looked over up
on that edge there, and it's-- there it sits. Mm-hmm. And I'm thinking to myself,
the rock doesn't really fit in. It looks like it
has a design on it. You go ahead and place
it where you found it. Sure. I'd say probably like that. Yeah. A lot of people might
have walked by it, but I'm not a lot of
people, I don't guess. Right, right. And so that's how it was. You know, it was in '04, also. So this has changed
a little bit. The sand looks like it's a
little bit darker in here right now. I can totally see now
that it does stand out from the environment. So do you think there's a
connection between the crash and finding this
rock right here? I think it's possible. You know, the skip
site is this direction. It was a massive
debris field from, you know, from all accounts,
that was left behind. And so if it was moving that
fast, you know, to skip off the ground like a
rock on the water, why couldn't that have been
thrown this far, you know? You know, the government
did a pretty thorough sweep of this country
when that happened. And maybe they missed something. I don't know. But I've thought it was special
from the very first moment it hit my hand. The military allegedly spent
months recovering debris, but the sand out here
is constantly shifting. So it's very easy to see
how they could have missed something as small
as the Roswell Rock. Now, what I want
to do, too, is I want to see if we can find maybe
some similar rocks around here, so we can draw a comparison. Great. I'm always up for
hunting a rock. All right. There's some rocks
right over there. All I see is some rocks that are
the same color like the sand, but it's definitely not
the same, that's for sure. Because you compare that,
and I mean, it's not even-- it's not even the same category. Not a whole lot out here
that resembles it in any way. I said I want to
put these in my bag. And so you know, over
the next couple of days I want to definitely mull
over what happened today. And I'm going to go ahead and do
some investigations on my own. So let's head back
to the chopper. Let's do it. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
So I'm on my way to Albuquerque to
see Linda Moulton Howe, an Investigative
journalist who has done extensive research not only on
the original Roswell incident but also on the Roswell Rock. I have read on Earth Files that
there is a clear connection between a crop circle that
was found in 1996 in England and also the Roswell Rock. Pretty much the two
designs are identical. What can you tell me about that? At first I thought could
it really be identical? And we can do a comparison here. Now, on the left is the
rock, the actual rock and its pattern. And on the right is
the crop formation in wheat 120 feet long. And when you take each item,
you can measure it across. They're exactly identical. Wow. So you clearly think that the
crop circle wasn't man-made. In this one
particular case, they had a pilot and a passenger
who said that they had flown over the field and
there was nothing there. And they flew back
over, couldn't have been more than a half
hour, and here was this pattern. There were four layers thick,
where the crop was layered as one direction, would
flow and meet another and another direction
would come over. And there's no board, string,
foot, nothing can do that. It was one of the most
perfect clean lays that anyone had ever
seen, meaning perfection. What's the
significance of this? I mean, it's kind
of mind-blowing. Basically, we're dealing
with lunar astronomy. The moon and the sun and
the tracking of the symbols. This is reflecting past,
present, and future. This is relating
to space and time, that moving through the universe
has got to be on a point to point bending space time that
quantum physicists have talked about. I really do think
something with a capital S is trying to teach us humans. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
(VOICEOVER): Now, the fact that we have equal but
opposite images of what appears to be the sun and
the moon brings to mind a concept from the
ancient Hindu texts known as the Vedas. And that is "as
above, so below." In other words, what
happens here on earth is connected directly to what
happens up there in the sky. The very fact that
Robert Ridge's rock would have these magnetic
properties, that it would spin clockwise and counterclockwise,
was it constructed that way by some intelligence? Was it a fluke of nature? And Giorgio, no one has
proved this rock to be a hoax. Linda, I thank you very
much for this conversation. The information that I've
learned this afternoon has been absolutely invaluable. Thanks very much. LINDA MOULTON HOWE: Thank you! Honestly, I really
thought that this rock might be some fake, but after seeing
it in person and after talking to Linda, I'm beginning to think
that what we have here could be something quite extraordinary. So now it's time to
put the Roswell Rock through some serious
scientific tests. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS (VOICEOVER):
One of the biggest questions concerning the Roswell Rock is
whether or not the design on it is made. And those who claim it is say
that because the design rises out of the rock, the most likely
way it would have been made is not with laser
cutting or machining but with a process known as
sandblasting, which can be used to cut away the rock
around the design. All right, let's go. Let's check this out. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
(VOICEOVER): So Robert and I decided to meet
with a stone cutter to put this theory to the test. Hi, guys. David, how are you doing? I'm Giorgio. Pleasure to meet you. How's it going? How are you? - Glad to meet you.
- Robert Ridge, David. Glad to meet you. All right. Glad to meet you. So what do you have
set up for us here today? Well, I'm trying to see if
I can make a rock that looks like our Roswell Rock. So you're going to try to
replicate this item here. Exactly. I'm going to try to show
you all how we do this. What processes
will you be using? We'll be using stencils,
cutting, and sandblasting. OK. That's awesome. I got a head start. I copied the design, traced
it, put it on a computer, ran it through our
computer system and cut the design, cut it
in a few different sizes. And of course, all I had
to go was by this picture. So you can get a pretty
good tracing off of that. Robert actually brought the
Roswell Rock, so if you want to give the rock-- Yeah, if it'll
help you out some. Check it out. What are your
impressions right now? ROBERT RIDGE: Do
you feel anything? No, I don't. I don't blame you. What are your thoughts? [sighs] It's kind of interesting. It's got some
markings right there around edge that
are a little deeper. It's a 90 degree there,
and then it bevels around. On this side, it's got this
cup in the bottom here. Very interesting. Thank you. Every one of those cuts
and every one of those are achievable by man. ROBERT RIDGE: Give it
your best shot then. All right. Pull that stencil off. First one finished gets a prize. Oh, I was done
five minutes ago. Yes. Oh, nice. Mine's 10 times bigger. Now, I think that this
here as a piece of art that you've just created,
it looks awesome. But it does not match
the Roswell Rock. Well, of course. It's a different rock. These are perfect circles
here and perfect cuts. OK. I could take my little tool, and
I could make perfect circles. If you had to, you can take and
knock off those little edges. It's simply not the same. I mean, this is an
incredible creation, yet this and that, to me right
now, is different. And I know you had a
half an hour to do this. Thank you. You know, I mean-- Make sure for my
reputation you say that. I only had a half an hour. Of course. This was supposed to be the
ultimate proof that this is a sandblasted piece. I got to tell you, Robert, I am
more intrigued now than I was in the previous days. All right, David. Thank you very much, guys. Thank you very much for
opening up your shop for us. Anytime. All right. Take care. See you. Thank you, sir. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
(VOICEOVER): The sand blasted replicas appear very
different to the naked eye, but Robert and I are going
to take an even closer look under a microscope. We're meeting with
geo-archeologist, Dr. Bill Doleman, a man who has been
studying rocks for over 30 years in order to get an
expert opinion on just what type of rock the
Roswell Rock might be. You must be Giorgio. I am. This is Dr. Bill Doleman. Giorgio. Pleasure to meet you. How are you? Pleasure to meet you, sir. And Robert. Hi, Bill. Pleasure to see you again. You, too. We're here to look
at the Roswell Rock. Now, I know you've
seen this rock before, but we're here to
draw some comparisons with some other rocks
that we found in the area. Mm-hmm. And also a sandblasted piece
that we had done earlier. So here is the
rock, and then we're going to look at this under
the microscope today, right? We're going to look at
it under a microscope, and we're going to talk about
whether that rock could have come from there
naturally or not. I can't wait to see this
under high magnification. Me neither. Well, good. Now, you found this where? Well at the base of
the Capitan Mountain. OK. Let's take a look at
the geology map here. So that would be-- It's-- Here's Roswell, and here's the
Capitan Mountains right here. So we're smack in the middle
of a whole bunch of blue. The blue is limestone. Now, this rock doesn't
look like limestone to me. So right off the bat, it
seems kind of unusual and out of place. Now, did you get any
rocks from the area? I did. Absolutely. We collected some right here. Oh, you guys are
real scientists. Well, we do what we
can do, you know? Gotta play the sorting
game here pretty quickly. Do some high-powered
scientific tests. Mm-hmm. Now, this is limestone. You see, I can easily cut it
with the point of a knife. You're cutting into this why? So you can determine
the hardness? Test the hardness, exactly. Limestone generally
can be scratched with the point of a knife. What I find striking, though-- The question is, where
did that come from? Exactly. Because this totally falls
out of line with everything that we have here. So why do you think that is, or
what is your hunch on what this might actually be? Basically, it's what
geologists would call a pebble. It's rounded, and
that kind of rounding is very typical of stones
that you find in a stream. So anyway, what's
interesting to me is that this is a
uniform color all over. And that's very unusual. As you can see, any
one of these rocks has got different colors
in different parts. Mm-hmm. And do you think that this might
have potentially been painted? There's some coat
of paint on there? I'll tell you what
I would like to do. In fact, I've got the
device right here. I often use this to just grind
down and polish the surface of a rock to give myself
a clean, polished surface, to go through the
patina or whatever's on there, to really look
at the rock's structure using a microscope. Robert, what do you think? Oh, hell no. Uh-uh. No, that thing, it
ain't going to work. Well, I didn't so. And actually, it-- So for all intents
and purposes, this is a foreign object
to this particular region. Even not looking
at the design, yes. It looks like it-- Oh, we haven't even
talked about the design yet. Well, it keeps
looking at me, you know? Well, kind of hard to miss
when you look at it, yes. That aside. Earlier, we went out there
to meet with a sandblaster, and he was 100% convinced that
this is a sandblasted piece. A fabrication. Yes, and so what he did
was, he created these replicas right here. And we brought them
to you for comparison. Mm-hmm. I'm guessing that these
are both some kind of clastic sedimentary rock. I'm going to get it set up, and
you guys can take a look here. All right, why don't you guys
take a look, see what you see? Mm-hmm. Yeah, you can definitely see
a difference between the two surface-- Granular structure
of the rock. Mm-hmm. But now let's put the
Roswell Rock under this. Because that's what
we came here for-- to look at this
under magnification. Oh, wow. This is wild. The edges are so clean. I mean, it's as if this was
carved with some type of a very fine knife. Wow. It's crazy, huh? [chuckling] I'll say. I mean, this is not even
in the same ballpark as the sandblasted pieces. I mean, here is the crazy thing. I've seen edges like this
before at Puma Punku. Puma Punku is a site in Bolivia
that many scholars believe is more than 10,000 years old. There you can find dozens
of giant granite rocks that appear to be cut with
extraordinary precision. Now, no one has ever been
able to explain how supposedly primitive people would have
accomplished this using copper and chicken bones. But according to the
local native legends, they say that the stones
weren't carved by humans at all, but by the gods. Looking at the Roswell
Rock under magnification, I'm beginning to think it's
possible that this is not a carving made by some
science fiction fan, but it appears to be the
result of some type of advanced technology, whatever
it may have been. Now, could it be man-made? I still of course,
cannot rule that out. To my mind, I'm
seeing it almost looks as if that was clay
that got carved with a very fine instrument. Yeah, that's-- that's-- GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: I
mean, it's extraordinary. As a scientist, what would you
recommend for our next tests? Well, I think we need
to look inside the rock. And we need to
evaluate two things. One, it's got a magnetic
field, apparently. We'd like to know more
about the origins of it. Two, we're not really sure
whether it's multiple pieces, whether it has a
magnet inside it. So I've got a friend who's
an electrical engineer, and he has access to some very
high grade testing equipment for measuring magnetic fields. Second of all, I've got a
friend who has a CT scanner. And that's basically a
three-dimensional X-ray of the rock. And so we'll learn
all sorts of things about the inside of that rock. We're not done yet. No, the investigation has just
begun, because I am definitely intrigued. So thanks again. Appreciate it.
- Have a safe trip. I'll see you guys soon.
- Take care. All right. Bye-bye. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: The
next step in solving the mystery of the
Roswell Rock is to find out why it
spins when brought in contact with a magnet. Dr. Doleman has
arranged for a meeting with an electrical
engineer, Nathan Menhorn. And he has agreed to
bring a whole bunch of sophisticated instruments
from his lab to his garage, where we can bring the rock and
perform magnetic field tests. So Nathan, Robert showed me
that with a simple magnet he was able to make
the Roswell Rock spin. So there are some type
of magnetic properties. We want to figure out if we
can use some more sophisticated instruments to determine whether
or not there's really something interesting about
this particular rock that we have here. Be kind of
interesting to know, A, is there really a
magnetic field there? B, what is its strength? And C, what's its
orientation inside the rock? What tests do we
have lined up today? OK, so the first test
that I'd like to do is measure the field
strength of the rock. Cool. Let's get started. All right. Show us the goods. OK, so you want to calibrate
the magnetometer first, to make sure we're
getting accurate readings. And what is this
black thing right now? This just isolates the
probe from any magnetic field. OK. Now-- so on the
tip of the rock, we have about a 1/2
to 0.8 gauss, about. 0.8. Now this end, close
to zero there. Close to zero there. So the field is going to
be coming out of here. So this would be the
north pole of the magnet. And this would be
the south pole. So with the north pole, we're
getting a positive reading, because the magnetic
field is coming out, and then it's coming back around
and going into the south pole. So let's probe around
a little bit more and see what else we can see. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah! 7.3 Look at that. All right. It was 7.8 there for a second. OK. All right. [interposing voices] It's getting higher. This is getting weird. It's the symbol that does it. Whoa. Wow. We've got an 11. And it's the thickest
part of the rock. We got an 11 right
over the fracture. We've got an 11.3. The edge of the design,
that is pretty amazing. There are some rocks found in
nature that contain magnetite or other magnetic minerals, like
a lodestone for instance, which the ancient Olmecs in Mexico
actually used as a compass over 3,000 years ago. But I do find very curious that
the magnetism in the Roswell Rock seems to be
concentrated in one area. If there is a magnet, let's
say, artificially embedded, then it would be right
underneath this area right here. That's correct. Mm-hmm. Is that something that
you could imagine, that there might
be a magnet inside? Yes, there could be. It's very, very, very possible. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: After
Nathan suggested that there may actually be a magnet
planted inside the rock, I was more determined than
ever to cut into it to verify that it is in fact a solid rock
and not some plaster cast made from a mold or painted. And so reluctantly--
actually very reluctantly, Robert agreed to let us use
a grinder on the back side of the rock. We're going to find something
out about this rock. I think you have amazing
courage to let me do this, and I greatly
appreciate it as well. But I want you to have
one last chance to say, you know what, maybe
we shouldn't do this. Last chance. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. You're the man, Robert. Wow. Here we go. It's hard. I'm going to try one
more shot at grinding, collect the dust that
comes off of there, in case we want to analyze it later. And I think we need
to do more grinding. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Robert
was genuinely affected by us grinding into
the Roswell Rock. I mean, the guy was tearing up. And it's hard to imagine
him doing that if he knew the rock was a fake. This rock isn't just
a novelty to him, but it's almost as if
it's a part of him. The grain or the
fissure continues. Yeah, I can see it. Inside the natural
rock, absolutely. So that kind of confirms-- Robert, come over here. Yeah, Robert you've
got to see this, buddy. You have to see this. You're a bit emotional. It's OK. Right here. This is a natural rock. There's no question that no
paint has been applied to this. It's OK. Yeah. You can breathe now. If this thing was a plaster
cast made from a mold, we would have found out
about it right there. But whatever this
thing was made up of is certainly much
harder than plaster. And we now know that it
was definitely not painted. This is a very, very fine
grained quarzitic sandstone. Magnetite has what
we're looking for. I am going to go
under the assumption that they are the little black
flecks I'm seeing in here. Although I expected
to see a lot more. Magnetite could explain the
Roswell Rock's magnetic charge, but we found much less than
what Dr. Doleman was originally expecting. But why does it have a
magnetic charge at all? And one that's highly
concentrated in one specific part of
the rock's design? That is still a mystery. This is much finer grained
than I expected it to be. So at this point in time,
I'm going to say, even with this power, short of
thin sectioning the rock, it might be kind of hard to
determine what it is, just because it is so fine grained. And so I think that when we look
at the x-rays of this thing, we're going to have another
chance to think about, well, was the inside
different than what we can see, having only shaved
off about half a millimeter. Right. And thank you
once again, Robert. I mean, I'm just-- Thank you. I've got all sorts
of pride in you for being willing to do this,
because I think a lot of times, you know, when push comes
to shove, people back out. You didn't back out. You didn't. And that to me was
the telltale sign. It was like, you know,
because I was holding back, and I was like, "you know, well,
we know where this is going. If he takes this rock, it's
like, I'm out of here." You didn't do that. "No, I left the
real one at home. Sorry." Yeah. OK, so here's what we know. We've established that
the Roswell Rock isn't some fan-made rip off. It's not plaster. It's not painted. It's a real stone with a finely
carved design that cannot be easily reproduced. It's also magnetic, but we
still don't know why exactly. So now we need to find out
for sure if there isn't some little magnet or something
hidden inside the rock that makes it move and
spin the way it does. Well, this is a CAT scanner. And it takes a beam of x-rays
and passes them through a body and detects them, puts
it through a computer, and makes images that
you can interpret. That's fantastic. Do you have the rock? Well, yeah. Let's do it. Here it is. Whoa. I've never scanned
anything quite like that. So this is a first. Let's go ahead. Let's do it. OK, boss. Take her away. Fire it up. We're trying to come
right across the design. OK. To show it and get
it all in one plane. Because the surface of the
rock is slightly rounded. Mm-hmm. Right. That's the design. Wow. We're essentially
flying through it. Right. Right. A star right there. What's going on? Right there. See that? Wow. There's a star. It's a ganglion, actually. That's the nerves of the rock. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: What
we see here on the screen is the inside of the rock. And it appears almost
entirely white, which means it's very
dense throughout. We see a gray line indicating
less density where the fracture is, but overall this
thing is pretty solid. Now, if this rock was
carved by some process other than sandblasting, we still
can't figure out what it was. And who would choose such
a hard rock to cut into? We're looking right down
the long axis of the rock, and there is the design. Right. And we're looking
to see if there's any density behind that,
as if it were appliqued onto the surface,
which we don't see. So now we're paging through. Scrolling through. It looks as though the design
is exactly the same material. - It does.
- As the rock itself. It does. You can't see any
discontinuity between them. I do not see any. So I'd like to go back
to, like, at right angles. Reason being, this
question that we had, was there anything
inside the rock that might be responsible for
the magnetic properties that it has? And nothing is present. And nothing. We don't see any
density in there. Well, we don't see
some clear cut object inside that rock that'll
account for the magnetism or anything else. The great thing is that we
now know that there is nothing inside the Roswell Rock. Because some people
have suggested that, well, there's an inserted magnet
inside or something like this. But clearly there's
nothing inside of it. And that is what I
was curious about. Yeah. I think this is all
incredibly fascinating. No, me too. It's great! GIORGIO TSOUKALOS (VOICEOVER):
After conducting the final test on the Roswell Rock, I
met up with Robert one last time to get his
thoughts on everything we'd discovered this week. There you are. Hey. Good to see you again. How are you? Fine. All right. Wow Wow. What a week, huh? Man. Before I tell you what I
think, I want you to tell me, what do you think? How do you feel? I'm just thrilled that
everything we've done has shored up and
validated what I've always felt about the rock. Great. Do you have the rock here? Yeah. I happen to have the rock here. Well, it kind of travels
with you all the time. Thanks very much. You're welcome. Appreciate it. If y'all need anything
else, just let me know. You got it. Sweet. There it is. This part right here, you can
forever tell people, well, this is where they did testing. This is where they
ground into the rock. Sure. Because I know that there were
some pretty emotional moments, to say the least. Yeah. Well, you know, it hurt to
take it from the original state that I found in it, you know? That was a deep point where
I was still on the fence. And then we drilled into it, we
determined right there and then that's not a plaster
piece, it's not painted. And then the CT scan. And of course also looking at
this under great magnification. ROBERT RIDGE: Wasn't that cool? Wasn't that just too cool? GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Yes. I mean-- ROBERT RIDGE: That blew
my mind when we saw that. Especially when I
saw the incision marks under high magnification. It's as if this was a soft
piece of butter that hardened. And I have seen these
type of surfaces before in other places
around the world, where sophisticated
tools were used. I've seen that. I think that we have
an artifact here that might potentially be ancient. And so maybe this piece wasn't
left behind after the crash, but that this is what
they were looking for. A key. Who knows? It might truly be of
extraterrestrial origin. Now, that is pure speculation,
but that does not prohibit me from asking questions. Sure. And we all know, if those
questions are uncomfortable, and I always ask the
uncomfortable questions, so be it. I don't care. Right. So this has been
nothing short of amazing. And so before I leave, I wanted
to give you one of these. It is-- Oh, wow. --the ancient
pre-Colombian gold flyer. I know this. I know this. Wonderful. I'm glad. I know this very well. So you are now
part of the club. This is so cool. Well, thank you. Thank you so much. And you know, I hope that
this won't be the last time that we see each other. I hope not either. So thank you very much. I appreciate that. Yup. Take these with me. Sure glad to have you. And you know, give me a call. Yeah, I have your number. So. Anything new about
this, for sure. You've got it. All right, Robert. Thank you, Giorgio. Thank you very much. Have a safe trip. All right, take care. So now when I connect
the dots, what do I think that the
Roswell Rock actually is? Well, perhaps it was supposed
to be found back in 1947, but when it wasn't,
the crop circle was made maybe as a second
attempt to give us the message. And what is the message? Maybe it's a type
of star calendar, letting us know that
they are out there, and that they plan
to return one day. Let's face it-- the final
chapter of this book has not yet been written. But in the meantime, I'm off
once again in search of aliens. Wow. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
So do you think there's a connection between
the crash and finding this rock? The government did
a thorough sweep. Maybe they missed something. I don't know. What's the
significance of this? I mean, it's, kind
of, mind blowing. Honestly, I really
thought that this rock might be some fake, but after seeing
it in person and after talking to Linda, I'm beginning to think
that what we have here could be something quite extraordinary. So now it's time to
put the Roswell Rock through some serious
scientific tests. So you're going to try to
replicate this item here. Exactly. Give it your best shot. This is a foreign object. We need to look
inside the rock. In fact, I've got this
device right here. Oh, hell no. Uh-uh. No, the investigation has just
begun, because I am definitely intrigued. So thanks again. Appreciate it.
- Have a safe trip. I'll see you guys soon.
- Take care. All right. Bye-bye. Is there really a
magnetic field there? Wow. We got an 11. This is getting weird. But one of the
things I want to do is grind a little bit off
the back of that rock, but I want you to have
one last chance to say, maybe we shouldn't do this. actually be a magnet
planted inside the rock, I was more determined than
ever to cut into it to verify that it is in fact a solid rock
and not some plaster cast made from a mold or painted. And so reluctantly--
actually very reluctantly, Robert agreed to let us use
a grinder on the back side of the rock. You are the man, Robert. Wow. Here we go. It's hard. I think we need to
do more grinding.
I tried to watch this show in the past and found it way too credulous to be very interesting, but this episode was definitely worth watching. They did a fair amount of testing on this thing, including a CT scan, and in the end still had no clear answers about how the object was created. Even if someone had carved it out of the rock there is still a question about why only figure itself appears to be the strongest magnetic portion of the rock.
I would like to see more geologists weigh in on the material and magnetic structure. An isotopic analysis would be interesting as well.
Edit: Here is an article claiming that many of these rocks were manufactured as keepsakes from a Roswell festival in 1998, And they show other examples: http://cropcirclesresearchfoundation.org/the-enigma-of-the-roswell-rock/
Still no explanation of the magnetic quality of it not to mention the detail in the carving. I still think the show is worth watching because it was interesting to see them doing some genuine investigation into it, not to mention the fact that even with a medley of specialists looking at it they still didn’t seem to have any answers.
It’s a fidget spinner for Anxious Aliens.
Could be a key to the craft for steering, perfect for a small hand. ET argument led to the key getting thrown out the window, boom…crash! Lmfao
