NARRATOR: On February 19,
2015, NASA's Dawn spacecraft
sent back to Earth images
of mysterious bright lights
reflecting off the surface of
a dwarf planet called Ceres.
While some scientists have
suggested that the lights are
the result of something
natural like an ice field
or escaping gas,
higher-resolution images
have failed to uncover the
true cause of the reflections.
Four months later in
June, the Dawn spacecraft
captured even more
incredible images,
images that reveal what looks
like a three-mile-tall pyramid.
JASON MARTELL:
These are possibly
technological structures.
So this brings up the question,
is it possible that these were
built by extraterrestrials?
Instead of looking at the
creation myths from Sumer
as mythology, maybe
this is scientific data
that we should be revisiting.
NARRATOR: Might further
exploration of Ceres
reveal evidence that it
once served as refuge for
the survivors of an alien war?
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
and claim that according
to the Sumerian texts,
these warring
extraterrestrial factions also
took refuge on another planet--
Earth.
And they propose that stories
found throughout the world
of gods waging
battle in the skies
suggest that this
otherworldly conflict
continued once the survivors
reached their new home planet.
DAVID WILCOCK: All
over the world,
we're seeing evidence of these
ancient wars that took place.
They took place in Greece.
They took place in
Norse mythology, all
throughout
Mesoamerican symbolism.
And consistently,
what we're seeing
is some sort of battle for
control over the Earth.
DAVID CHILDRESS: When you look
at many of these ancient tales,
it would seem to be that
the gods are warring
amongst themselves over us.
DAVID WILCOCK: This lends to
an intriguing possibility--
that we are the
descendants of the winners
and that there are certain
groups that are pushing for us
and really rallying
because, in fact, we
are their direct descendants.
They created us through some
sort of genetic engineering.
And then there's
other factions that
want to wipe us off the face
of the earth completely.
And those wars may still
be being fought right now.
NARRATOR: Are humans
the descendants
of a race of alien beings
whose home planet was destroyed
thousands of years ago?
Might the ancient
stories of warring gods
really be accounts of separate
extraterrestrial factions
that were fighting for
control of the Earth
and may still be
fighting for it today?
