Ancient Aliens (2010)

Episode Overview

Massive investments have been dedicated to the search for a second Earth. Since the Kepler Telescope's debut in 2009, researchers have discovered thousands of exoplanets that might harbor life. Could this groundbreaking research finally address the timeless inquiry: "Are we alone in the cosmos?" What if, while we are on the lookout for habitable worlds, advanced alien civilizations have already explored Earth in ancient times? Numerous myths from around the globe recount encounters with celestial beings. The Dogon tribe believes their deities emerged from the Sirius system, while the Maya linked their gods to the Pleiades cluster. Hopi tradition suggests that life was initiated by star beings. Ancient Astronaut theorists argue that extraterrestrial visitors not only came to Earth but may have influenced our very creation.
