A large meteorite is found wrapped in a feather blanket

and buried inside an ancient ruin.

JONATHAN YOUNG: A fellow named George

Dawson found something that looked like a possible grave.

Sure enough, something was buried there.

It turns out to be a fragment of a meteorite--

135 pounds of nickel and iron wrapped

as if it were a human burial, as if the people doing

the ceremony were in some kind of relationship

with this object.

NARRATOR: In ancient Greece, the Temple of Apollo

is constructed to honor the site where

a meteorite fell to earth.

A meteorite that is believed to contain the power of the gods.

JONATHAN YOUNG: Zeus, the great god of the Olympians,

took a stone and threw it down there

to mark the place of origin for all humans

and the center of things.

This was a particularly sacred spot.

The stone itself, the omphalos came from the heavens to Earth.

It was a transmission.

It was from Zeus to the people.

MAN: For them, that meteorite, that stone was a power that

radiated to all points of the earth

from Delphi from this meteorite.

And this omphalos stone was also supposed

to be a vehicle for communicating with the gods.

So you have to wonder, was this rock

sent by Zeus, one of the gods?

Was it really some special stone that

could help people communicate with extraterrestrials?

NARRATOR: Are ancient accounts of meteorites

that communicate with humans simply mythological tales?

Ancient astronaut theorists insist

the answer is a profound no and believe that proof that many

have been sent here deliberately can be found by re-examining

what Muslims believe to be the origins of the sacred meteorite

they call the Black Stone.

MAN: Tradition with the Black Stone

says that it was to be an altar used by Adam, the first man

and that later, the angel Gabriel gave it to Abraham

and that Abraham and Ishmael, then,

placed the Black Stone in the Kaaba

at Mecca where it is today.

So you have to wonder, were extraterrestrials purposely

giving this stone to Abraham in order to move mankind

forward on planet Earth?

NARRATOR: Is the connection between the Black Stone

of the Kaaba and the biblical story of Adam and Eve

further evidence that meteors may have

been used by extraterrestrials to seed life

here on planet Earth?

And if meteorites can contain energy capable of influencing

the human mind, is it possible that they

may have other metaphysical capabilities--

capabilities that we are only just beginning to comprehend?
