Season 9 episodes (15)

1 Pyramids of Antarctica
5/6/16
Antarctica is Earth's most remote and least explored continent. It is buried under as much as three miles of ice in some places, but recent satellite imagery has revealed what appear to be the tops of man-made pyramids scattered throughout the landscape.
2 Destination Mars
5/13/16
Within 20 years, we are expecting to send the first colonizers to the Red Planet. Astronauts will brave the six-month journey to become the first extraterrestrials visitors to Mars--where they are expected to live and die there, never to return to Earth.
3 The Next Humans
5/20/16
In the 21st century, technology is heading in a radical new direction--the merging of man and machine. Smart drugs, nanorobots, and machine-printed organs are just a few of the cutting-edge innovations catalyzing the evolution of humankind.
4 The New Evidence
5/27/16
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? This is the question Ancient Astronaut theorists have posed since Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods.
5 The Visionaries
6/10/16
Scientists theorize that when mankind encounters extraterrestrials, we’ll need to speak to them through the universal language of mathematics and binary code.
6 Decoding The Cosmic Egg
6/17/16
A "Cosmic Egg" -- in which the universe, or some primordial being comes into existence by the hatching of an egg -- is found in the creation myths of many cultures. Why is this concept so pervasive throughout the world?
7 The Wisdom Keepers
6/24/16
The Aborigines of Australia are the oldest, continuously surviving society on Earth. The stories preserved in their oral tradition are said to date back over 60,000 years.
8 The Mysterious Nine
7/8/16
In 2013, former Canadian Minister of Defense, Paul Hellyer, made a shocking claim--that there is a federation of extraterrestrial beings monitoring and guiding humanity. But why would such an esteemed politician make such a controversial announcement?
9 The Hidden Empire
7/15/16
Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that evidence of extraterrestrial visitation exists in every corner of the Earth, but some say the most compelling can be found in one of the world's least accessible places--China.
10 The Prototypes
7/22/16
Recent archaeological discoveries reveal a very different picture of what life on Earth looked like in the remote past. It was a real-life version of "Lord of the Rings," where humans shared the planet with various types of intelligent human-like species.
11 Space Station Moon
7/29/16
It was mankind's finest hour, the greatest technological achievement of the 20th Century--the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. But the Apollo program was short-lived, and after Apollo 17 in 1972, we never went back.
12 Russia's Secret Files
8/12/16
Russia is a vast country, spanning over 6 million square miles of some of the most rugged terrain on Earth, much of which is uninhabited and largely unexplored. It is also the home of 'cosmism' -- a belief that human civilization originated in the cosmos.
13 Beyond Roswell
8/19/16
The U.S. military has long denied that the infamous 1947 Roswell crash was anything other than a weather balloon, but FBI files released in 2011 include a memo to J. Edgar Hoover regarding the recovery of not one, but three "flying saucers."
14 The Returned
8/26/16
Thousands of people from every part of the world have reported being abducted by aliens, including even a world leader – President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov of the Russian Republic of Kalmykia, who announced in 2007 that he had been taken.
15 Shiva the Destroyer
9/2/16
Of the millions of Hindu gods, none is more important than Shiva--the great destroyer. Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest this powerful being that possessed flying machines, incredible weapons, and had supernatural abilities.

About this show

There is evidence that suggests we experienced 20th century alien contact. In 1942, the Battle of Los Angeles involved the US military and Air Defense allegedly fighting a UFO. WWII Allied Air Force planes were buzzed by balls of light that some think could have been extraterrestrial. And the alleged crash of a flying saucer in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 propelled the world into the age of UFOs. For decades, some people have been searching for the sounds of extraterrestrial intelligence, while others have been sending messages out into deep space. What would happen if aliens answered... or came calling? What protocols exist to determine who would speak on behalf of mankind, and how might we communicate? What happens if they return? Some believe they already have.

"Mainstream" accepted ideas about space and science in general very rarely add up without plugging in unknown factors. This provides excellent ideals to what those unknown factors are. 1 Star reviews for this are generally from people who live life simply being told what is true by someone "accepted" and retardely just believe it blindly. Keep your mind and eyes open, the truth is crazy and really unbelievable by most of our dumb monkey-esque species of morons. Lol stupid people.

With only a little research nearly all of the arguments in this series fall apart. The historical accomplishments of other cultures to be so entirely down played as to say that they couldn't have happened without aliens is insulting and downright stupid. Real archaeologists spend their lives studying these cultures and their expertise are rarely (if ever) consulted. Instead we have the same few conspiracy theorists with little to no true knowledge about what they discuss being passed off as "experts". This is not the sort of mindset that should be promoted within our society.

i have every season and go back and watch them all time. for the nay Sayers theres Hundreds of military personnel who reported they are here and have been for very long time. skeptic magazine like to say there is no life outside of this planet , there are no aliens and that they are not here and never have been . well i like to call them the flat earther's , 100 years ago they said we could never go faster then 25miles an hour and fly or reach the moon... but we did. we have been around maby 250k years in a universe 14 billion years old. Time to stop thinking that the world is flat.
