A thorough examination of the possible and what some believe regarding the purpose of alien abduction.

Our civilization as we know it emerged as if by magic. For millennia ancient man hunted and gathered but, after thousands of generations, mankind suddenly settled down and as if from nowhere. Suddenly, complex tools, art, literature, agriculture, math, astronomy and massive monuments to the gods appear out of ancient Sumeria. The same Gods the Sumerian clay tablets civilization emerged tell us had come down to Earth from heaven to give us knowledge and life. We are now discovering evidence of mankind's legacy that differs from the doctrine we've been told for millennia and that the truth is stranger than fiction. Our pantheon of Gods may themselves have been descendants from Alien beings and it's clear now that our history goes back thousands of years more than previously thought.

A non-human, alien mummy was recently found in Peru that could be the greatest discovery of all time. The remarkable ancient mummified body, dubbed Maria, has three fingers on each hand. It was discovered in Nazca, Peru. While mummies can excite historians, this particular find may alter the story of human origins forever. Dating back 1600 years or more, some experts say it is evidence of an ancient reptilian race. Are we looking at the remains of the 'Gods' that according to many ancient texts descended from the heavens in the distant past, or are we looking at an Alien species that existed on Earth long before humans came into existence? Explore the mystery of the Alien Mummies of Peru.

Since before time, humankind has pondered one central question...who are we, and why are we here? Many theories have been put forth, by religious leaders, scientists, philosophers, writers, artists and countless others. None of the theories have held the test of time, because there is a central fact, a hidden truth so powerful it almost transcends comprehension. It is so shocking, few dare imagine it. To keep this secret question hidden, countless people throughout the centuries have been misled, manipulated, lied to and even slaughtered, their lives ruined to benefit the ruling class. The most powerful and successful people on earth do not want you to know these truths, because it would undermine their control over the earth's population of sheeple. Once this incredible truth sweeps the world, nothing will be the same. Don't be left behind on this one. Watch for...The Endless Question. Written, produced, directed and edited by Dr. Ron Dalrymple, best-selling author and award-winning screenwriter and novelist.

Project Blue Book was the catalyst to the modern day UFO cover-up that still exists today. The startling fact is we may be in the same position now as then, as it relates to the phenomena. We are still in an age of denial about the magnitude of this phenomenon and what its implications mean for all mankind. Perhaps there are secret factions that have indeed communicated with alien entities and have received technology from them. But from the outside looking in, it appears nothing has changed as the UFOs continue to violate our airspace with impunity; and as before, military factions are powerless against the unknown invaders.

A thrilling study of the UFO phenomenon and the people who dedicate their lives to it.

There is a conspiracy to rule the world, but the truth is far stranger than fiction. The truth in essence, is that Reality isn't what it seems. With UFO sightings on the rise, sinister programs to spy on unsuspecting citizens and black projects like MK Ultra proven to be real, what's left in that massive wake is the question of "what else" is going on that we are not aware of? This is the question we should be asking ourselves, what is being kept from the people and why? An intelligent mind can only deduce that there are indeed clandestine groups that control the world, through a web of deceit spun from their conspiracy machine, creating a "reality" that most people abide by. Reality is changing everyday, being manipulated like clay to serve the agenda of these elite puppet masters. Now is the time to awaken, and realize the biggest conspiracy of them all - the Cosmic Conspiracy.

If machines can be smarter than people, is humanity really anything special?

Our enigmatic moon may have a sinister origin that mankind is not prepared for. From astronaut UFO encounters, to flashing lights, to geometric anomalies on the surface that appear to be structures, it's possible that the moon my actually be the home of ancient aliens or be serving as a base of operations. For the moon to be able to perfectly eclipse the sun is a mathematical impossibility based on our current understanding of physics but we also know that the moon could be hollow from experiments performed on Apollo missions. Clearly, there is an intelligence involved with our mysterious satellite.

Amid protests and controversy, young earth creationists build an enormous, $120 million, "life-size" Noah's Ark in Kentucky with the specific aim of debunking the Theory of Evolution. They aim to prove the earth is only 6,000 years old and that the Bible is scientifically accurate. We Believe In Dinosaurs follows the building of the Ark from blueprints to opening day through the eyes of three Kentuckians: Doug, a gifted artist who creates lifelike animals for the Ark; Dan a geologist and impassioned pro-science activist who blows the whistle on the Ark's discriminatory hiring practices; and David a young former creationist who mowed lawns to raise money for creationist causes in his youth.

"Across the world, millions of people have witnessed massive UFOs in our skies. They have not only seen the Alien craft, but have experienced a phenomenon that utterly defies our current understanding of science and physics. The fact is there have been dozens, possibly hundreds of UFO's that have crashed on Planet Earth. Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world. But the most shocking revelation of all is the reason why they come. In the modern age, government and military factions move quickly to take over the crash area; remove all evidence large and small; threaten local authorities and eyewitnesses to never speak a word under the name of national security; then release a plausible cover story like a well-oiled machine. They recover technology so advanced that even though it has transformed our world, much of it is still beyond their grasp. They also recover corpses and on several occasions live Alien beings, often referred to as extraterrestrial biological entities or EBE's. Secretive military and black operations teams know WHY the UFOs are here. We the people however are constantly redirected by endless forms of information technology that serves as the supreme distraction. Why, because there is a war out there in outer space, a war that has been raging for centuries. SHORT - There have been hundreds of UFO's that have crashed on Planet Earth. Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world. But the most shocking revelation of all is the reason why they come - because there is a war out there in outer space, a war that has been raging for centuries.

Christo Roppolo claims to have been videotaping and communicating with UFOs around Monterey, CA for several years. He contacted filmmaker Justin Gaar in 2013 to begin creating a film about his sightings. Skeptical of the footage but intrigued by Christo's eccentricities and wild stories, Justin begins spending time with Christo hunting UFOs along California's beautiful central coast. When a crop circle appears in Monterey County and becomes international news, Christo is validated in his belief of alien contact and Justin, shocked, begins investigating the source of the crop circle and how Christo knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's being contacted by his 'brother's from space'. The two travel up and down the central coast and through the central valley hunting for UFO activity. Christo is like a traveling UFO preacher, explaining the sightings to passersby, asking about their own experiences with the unknown, spreading his gospel of extraterrestrial salvation. In their journey together Justin finds that sometimes aliens from space can tell us more about our own humanity than the people on Earth.

Upstanding people from all walks of life around the world have witnessed UFOs. Millions in fact have not only seen a UFO, but have undergone bizarre, other worldly UFO experiences ranging from alien abduction, to visions of unearthly apparitions, and out of body experiences. Millions more remain silent through fear of being ridiculed. The fact is, what modern man is experiencing is not new because it has been going on for millennia. We have vivid accounts of such phenomena passed down from the most ancient of times stating clearly that not only were there visitors from another world, but that they gave humanity a vast knowledge of art, culture, architecture, agriculture and science. We are just now rediscovering the unearthly influence that eons later would appear to have risen out of nowhere in what is now known as Iraq. The Watchers became masters over mankind and a hybrid race was born. But all was not well in the new Eden and a great battle ensued. The ancients knew them as the Watchers, we know them as Aliens. Prepare to learn the incredible story of mankind's ancient past and how it links to the ever increasing wave of UFO experiences in our world today.

The most enigmatic and universally known UFO incident in history needs only one name - ROSWELL. Roswell will never fade as it represents the true ushering in of the UFO phenomenon for time immemorial. Dwarfing Orson Wells' "War of the Worlds" in national and then international hysteria, Roswell was an unparalleled turning point for all of mankind because for the first time almost every man, woman and child on earth was faced with the reality that we are not alone in the universe. In early July, 1947 Major Jesse Marcel, commander of the most technologically advanced bomb group in the world, discovered the crash site of a downed UFO in the New Mexico desert following a harrowing and record breaking storm. Out of honor and duty to his country, Major Marcel was to become the scapegoat for the largest disinformation cover-up effort in world history. What he saw would be a secret he would keep for many years - knowledge about the crash itself and the ensuing battle to keep the incident covered-up by government and military factions. Roswell would be forever entwined in not just Major Marcel's life but that of his children and grandchildren for generations to come. Today Jesse Marcel III, the grandson of Major Jesse Marcel, tells his grandfather's story and reveals what has continued to haunt his family for over sixty years - the legacy of ROSWELL.

The invention of the telescope has been by far the most revolutionary development in the history of astronomy. For thousands of years, astronomers had to rely on their eyes in unraveling the mysteries of the Universe. Then, 400 years ago, something entirely new happened: Galileo turned a homemade arrangement of magnifying glasses to the skies. The telescope revealed a wealth of astronomical riches, and led to a dramatic increase of knowledge about the wider world we live in. In 2009, the International Year of Astronomy, we are celebrating Galileo's legacy and all the discoveries that have taken place in the intervening years, as well as the explosion of knowledge that we are witnessing now, made possible by new technologies. This movie explores the saga of the telescope over 400 years - the historical development, the scientific importance, the technological breakthroughs, and also the people behind this ground-breaking invention, their triumphs and failures.

From the dark years of the UFO era, this amazing documentary details the facts they DON'T want you to know. UFO's are real and the government and military forces know it. These factions have researched and investigated sightings as early as the late 1930's, while simultaneously denying any interest in the UFO phenomenon.

Egypt is and ever was a place of mystery. Many rumors spread around the great Pyramids of Gizeh (the only one of the seven wonders of the world left), their age ranges - in different theories - between 3,000 and even 12,000 years. Here, an old Egyptian is asked by his granddaughter about those mysteries of which we all heard in one way or the other. The action takes us to Howard Carter, who, after years and years of searching, finally found King Tutankhamen's (Tut-ench-Amun) grave in 1922. This was a major event in archaeology, as this grave was never robbed and therefore in the same condition as it was left (est.) 1339 B.C. We also get to see the Nile's wells and other historic landmarks that make Egypt an important part of world history.
