远古外星人系列
第四集 亲密接触
新墨西哥州，阿拉莫戈多市 Alamogordo, New Mexico.
1945年7月16日清晨，白沙试验场 White Sands Proving Ground, July 16, 1945.
一群美国军方官员和科学家们聚集在一起 Early in the morning, a number of U. S. military officers and
观看新型强大武器的试验 scientists gather to watch a powerful new weapon being tested.
一些人认为该武器是一大败笔 Some believe the device will be a complete failure, others
而另外的人思考的是这种武器有捣毁整个新墨西哥州的威力 think it might destroy the entire state of New Mexico.
以防万一，看台距试验场 As a precaution, viewing stations are placed from ten
有10到20英里的距离 to 20 miles away from the test site.
就在5点29分49秒，第一颗原子弹被引爆 At precisely 5:29 and 45 seconds, the first atomic bomb is detonated.
3,2,1... 发射 >> Three, two, one... Fire!
一个600英尺多宽的火球喷涌而出 The blast emits a fireball over 600 feet wide and produces an explosion equal
爆炸力相当于2万吨TNT炸药 to 20,000 tons of TNT.
产生的蘑菇云在100英里以外都可以看到 The mushroom cloud reaches over reverberations can be felt
nearly 100 miles away.
从此，世界多了种新武器 The world had a new weapon;
这种武器的威力如此强大，连他的创造者—— one so terrifying it left even its creator, Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, shocked and
罗伯特.奥本海默博士，都无比震惊 shaken.
一些人笑了 A few people laughed.
另一些人哭了 A few people cried.
大多数人缄默不语 Most people were silent.
历史上首次，由人类制造的威力无穷的 For the first time in its history, the Earth had been assaulted by a manmade
武器袭击了地球 weapon of incredible power.
可假如这种情况在很久以前发生过呢？ But what if it had all happened before?
在地球历史上，是否还有威力更大 What if an explosion of even greater force and destructiveness had long ago
更有破坏性的爆炸出现过呢？ shaped the Earth's history?
一些人基于一系列证据， Some people have suggested on the basis of a number of lines of evidence
认为在久远的古代，就出现过原子弹战争 that there may have been atomic warfare, atomic bombs,
原子弹、原子弹爆炸 atomic explosions, in the very distant past.
古文明的原子弹战争听起来像科幻小说， Atomic warfare among ancient civilizations may sound like something out of a
但是可以找到一些 science fiction novel, but descriptions of similar deadly
和Oppenheimer博士对 occurrences can be found in the very same text Dr. Oppenheimer
新墨西哥州原子弹试验的描述极为类似的记载 quoted after the New Mexico atomic test.
我记得印度经文，《薄伽梵歌》中的句子： I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita,
“现在我成了死神，那个世界的摧毁者。” "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
《薄伽梵歌》是印度经文《摩呵婆罗多》的一部分 Part of an ancient Hindu scripture known as The Mahabharata, the Bhagavad
写于公元前5世纪到公元前2世纪的某个时期 Gita was written sometime between the fifth and second century B.C.
这部包含10万首诗的鸿篇巨著 包括古代君主OJ Rama的故事 This massive 100,000-verse text contains stories about the
据说，OJ Rama君主生活在1万2千年前， ancient empire OJ Rama, which it is said existed over 12,000
或者说是在有记载的最早的文明—即出现在 years ago, or roughly 5,000 years before the earliest recorded civilization
美索不达米亚平原的文明—出现前的5千年左右 in Mesopotamia.
读读印度古代史诗 If you read the ancient Indian epics, they read like modern-day
你会发现他们就像现代的科幻故事 science fiction.
然而他们有着千万年的历史 Yet they are thousands of years old with references
不仅描述了飞行战车 not only of flying chariots and of these gods that had these
和有着不可思议的先进技术的神 incredible technological capabilities, but incredible
还在史诗战争中描述了他们使用的威力巨大的武器 weapons that they used in those epic battles.
这个武器叫做婆罗门 They had what was called a Brahma weapon.
使用婆罗门武器 There were many people that were singed and burned and melted
可以将敌人烤焦，烧伤，以及融化 by the Brahma weapon.
古代宇航员理论家们认为 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the Brahma weapon was an early nuclear
婆罗门武器是一种早期的核武器 device because the descriptions of its deadly aftereffects are
因为它们的杀伤效果和强辐射造成的伤害程度惊人的一致 eerily similar to the effects of exposure to intense radiation.
而传统科学不认可这个说法 It is a theory largely discounted by conventional science.
不管是《薄伽梵歌》还是《摩呵婆罗多》 There is no evidence that a nuclear bomb was described in The Mahabharata,
都没有关于原子弹的描述 the Bhagavad Gita.
它描述的只是一场战争 It describes a battle.
战争中出现了大爆炸 In battles there are explosions, big explosions.
有一点可以证明（它是原子弹爆炸）， 虽然战争里都有爆炸 It's one thing about suggesting that, you know, battles have explosions, but
但（书里描述的）爆炸可不一般 that's not really what we're looking at.
你需要看看整个画面 You've got to look at the whole picture.
例如，一处描述提到： One reference that we have, for example, speaks of these
爆炸比一千个太阳还要亮 explosions that were brighter than a thousand suns.
爆炸发生的时候，天旋地转 And when these blasts occurred, the suns were twirling in the
树林里燃起了大火，以及其它类似的大规模的破坏 air, trees went up in flames and there was just this mass destruction.
爆炸发生之后，活下来的人们开始掉头发 After those blasts, people who survive start to lose their hair
指甲开始脱落 and nails start to fall out.
我的意思是，这同我们现在知道的辐射中毒、 I mean, right there, we have a concise reference to radiation
核微粒污染（的影响）极为相似 poisoning, nuclear fallout.
而这些文本描述的可是千万年发生的事情啊 And those texts are thousands of years old.
但是如果《摩呵婆罗多》的讲述基于事实， But if The Mahabharata is based on fact, wouldn't archaeologists
为什么考古学家还未发现物理或辐射证据？ have uncovered physical or radiological evidence?
远古外星论家们已经找到了证据 According to ancient astronaut theorists, they have.
印度河流域，巴基斯坦南部 The Indus Valley, Southern Pakistan.
1922年，一位官员随同一支印度 考古队发现了一座古城遗址 In 1922, an officer with an Indian archeological survey
这座古城就是摩亨约—达罗 group discovered the ruins of an ancient city known as Mohenjo-Daro.
意思是“死亡之丘” According to mainstream archeologists, the city, whose
主流考古学者们认为 name means "mound of the dead,"
它的繁荣期在公元前2600年到1900年 had flourished between 2600 and 1900 B.C.
然而，巴基斯坦科学家们认为它的历史可以追溯到更早 However, scientists in Pakistan have suggested Mohenjo-Daro is much older.
主流考古学家们认为摩亨约—达罗城被遗弃 Mainstream archeologists believe the city was abandoned
是由于气候变化，或者贸易缩水 as a result of climatic changes or possibly a decrease in trade.
但20世纪90年代摩亨约—达罗城的遗址被发现时 But when the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro were discovered in
人们发现44具骨架躺在废墟里，脸朝下 the 1920s, 44 skeletons were found lying face down in the
许多都手拉着手 street, many holding hands.
他们脸部和身体的姿势表示他们死得很突然 Their faces and body positioning suggested they suffered
属于暴死 a sudden, violent death.
一群人就这样躺着大街上，死了 You have a culture of people who literally were lying dead in the street.
考古学家研究人类残骸发现 Archaeologists have found human remains, and something big
这些人遭遇了重大事故 has happened to these people.
那么, 摩亨约—达罗城里的人们究竟遭遇了什么？ What, in fact, did happen to the people of Mohenjo-Daro?
为什么没有野生动物吃他们残骸的证据？ Why is there evidence that wild animals avoided scavenging their remains?
为什么，即使经过千万年，他们的骨头仍未腐朽？ And why, even after thousands of years, had their bones not decayed?
遗迹现场的某些地方辐射较强 In certain areas of that site, you find increased levels of radiation.
并且整个遗址都有辐射现象 And radiation exists all over the place.
突然之间，当我们发现世界上 某个地方的有这样的高辐射强度 When, all of a sudden, you have higher levels of radiation
问题就来了：“这是为什么呢？” in certain areas of the world, the question, arises, "Why?"
是否摩亨约—达罗就是《薄伽梵歌》中提到的那座城？ Is it possible that Mohenjo-Daro was one of the cities mentioned in the
它受到的袭击，类似于突然的核攻击 Bhagavad Gita-- a city that suffered the equivalent of a sudden atomic attack?
1979年，英国研究员David Davenport出版了 In his 1979 book, Atomic
《公元前2000年的核摧毁》一书， Destruction in 2000 B.C.,
书中提到： British researcher David
他已经在摩亨约—达罗城找到了 Davenport claimed to have found
一个50码宽的中心 a 50-yard-wide epicenter
在那里 at Mohenjo-Daro where everything
每样东西都被 appeared to have been fused
一种称为“玻璃化”的方式 through a transformative process
融化了 known as "vitrification."
“玻璃化” Vitrification is
这种方式 a process in which regular-type
可将普通的石头融成稀糊状 stone gets molten into a magma
然后这些稀糊再次凝固变硬 state and then it hardens again.
但一旦这些石头再次变硬 But once the stone is hardened
它们摸起来就像是玻璃 again, it feels like glass.
在摩亨约-达罗城 At Mohenjo-Daro, we find
我们找到了玻璃化的证据 evidence of vitrification, which
这种变化过程只能在 could have only been achieved
爆炸产生的极热状态下 if the material was exposed to
才能发生 extreme heat by some type of
a blast.
当英国、 When British
印度和巴基斯坦 and Indian and Pakistani
的考古学家们 archeologists began doing
在20世纪40年代末50年代初 excavations in the Sian Desert,
对印巴交界的Sian沙漠 on the borders of India and
进行考古挖掘工作时 Pakistan, in the late 1940s and
他们发现 early 1950s, what they found in
在摩亨约—达罗城、 these cities-- Mohenjo-Daro,
哈拉巴城以及果德迪吉城中的 Harrapa, Kot Diji-- was
考古学证据 archeological evidence to show
都明确证明了 there were apparently atomic
核武器的存在 weapons.
而这只可能是发生在 Only it happened in ancient
古代 times.
在非洲和中东部分地区 There's other evidence in parts
也有其他的证据表明 of Africa and the Middle East,
那里曾发生过 where it would seem to be like
某种形式的核爆 some sort of atomic explosion
had taken place there, and had
并且将沙漠里的沙 turned the desert sand
变成了玻璃 into glass.
在进行了首次的原子弹试验后 And that's exactly what happened
在新墨西哥州阿拉莫戈多市的沙漠中 at Alamogordo, in New Mexico,
出现了 when they detonated the first
和以上的考古发现相同的情况 atom bomb in the desert.
在印度河流域的 Could the strange
神秘古城遗迹中 ruins found in the Indus Valley
发现的证据 really contain evidence of an
真的表明了古代（发生过）核爆炸吗？ ancient atomic explosion?
如果真是这样 If so, where did these powerful
这种威力无比的武器从何而来？ weapons come from?
是谁使用了这些武器？ Who was using them?
又为什么要用呢？ And why?
根据 In the ancient
古印度典籍的记载： Indian texts themselves it says,
我引用那句：某一时刻， and I quote, "At one point,
三座巨城环绕地球飞行 three giant cities were orbiting
the Earth."
描述称 And those giant cities were
这些巨城 often described as being made
由闪光的金属和铁制成 of gleaming metal and iron.
并且在某一刻 And at one point, those three
三城开始互相攻击 cities went to war with each
other.
典籍也描述了 And it's described how the gods
众神怎样互掷武器 threw weapons at each other,
摧毁了这些巨城 destroying those cities,
三座城都变成了大的火球 they all went up in flames
而之后火球便向地球飞来 and fire came raining down onto
Earth.
读这些篇章时 So, when you read those
我的疑问就是： passages, the question I ask is:
我们的这些祖先 What is it that our ancestors
他们想要描述的是什么？ tried to describe here?
我想 And I think that it was some
是不是我们的先辈 type of a technology that was
看到了某种高科技 witnessed, yet our ancestors,
虽然他们已经相当聪明 while being highly intelligent,
但依然没有理解 didn't understand the nuts and
那些科技的细枝末节 bolts aspects behind that
technology.
所以他们赋予它某种神性 And so they created something
某种超自然的力量 divine out of it, something
但其实根本就不是 supernatural, yet it never was
什么神 divine.
也不是什么超自然现象 It never was supernatural.
如果， If, in fact,
《摩呵婆罗多》讲的是事实 The Mahabharata is describing
我们能否在其他古代记录中 historical events, might we also find similar accounts
找到类似描述？ in other ancient writings?
古代宇航员理论家认为 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
我们仅仅在《圣经》中就可一窥究竟 we need look no further than in the pages of the Holy Bible.
《创世纪》中有个故事讲到 According to one of the stories contained in the book of Genesis, angels were
上帝因所多玛城和蛾摩拉城里的人罪孽深重 sent by God to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
便派天使摧毁这两座城 because of the sins of their inhabitants.
城中只有一位叫罗得的义人，和他的家人得以幸免 Only a righteous man named Lot, along with his family, was to be spared.
但他们在逃跑的过程中 But while making their escape, Lot's wife ignores the angels'
罗得的妻子不顾天使的不要回头看的警告 warning not to look back, and upon gazing at the horror and
回头一看毁城的恐怖景象，立马变成了盐柱 devastation, is turned into a pillar of salt.
当你在核武试验场观看核爆时 When you are at a nuclear testing range and you witness a nuclear blast, you're
你也会被叮嘱不要直视爆炸场面 told to look away and not to look straight into the blast.
在古代圣经中也有类似的描述 And here we have a similar description in ancient biblical
其中的指示是： text where instructions were given, "Whatever you do, don't
“千万不要回头看，否则你就杯具了” look back because you will die."
很显然，罗得的妻子就是这样死的 And sure enough, it happened to Lot's wife.
所多玛城和蛾摩拉城的故事是否有可能也是一次核爆炸？ Could it be that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is really a description of a
同印度典籍《摩呵婆罗多》描述的一样？ nuclear explosion, similar to the one described in the Hindus' Mahabharata?
《摩呵婆罗多》和《圣经》里的故事描述的是史实吗？ Do the stories of The Mahabharata and the Bible represent actual historical
events?
远古外星论家给出了明确的回应：是的，当时就是这样 For ancient astronaut theorists, the answer is a resounding "yes."
他们相信来摧毁城市的所谓的“天使”， And they believe the so-called "angels" who brought forth the
其实是外星生物 devastation were, in fact, beings from another planet--
并且他们还配有先进的武器。 alien visitors armed with advanced weaponry.
2000年9月， September, 2000.
在土耳其的黑海 The Black Sea, Turkey.
海洋考古学家Robert Ballard和他的水下科学家团队 Marine archaeologist Robert Ballard and his team of
在330英尺深的海中发现了 underwater scientists discover what appears to be a farmhouse
一个类似农舍的房子 some 330 feet below the surface.
这个农舍预计有7500年的高龄。 Estimates suggest the submerged dwelling to be approximately 7,500 years old.
Ballard和其他学者注意到 Ballard and other scholars speculated that rising ocean
不断上升的海平面有可能造成地中海决堤 levels could have caused the Mediterranean Sea to burst
喷涌出的大洪水将约58000平方英里的地方 through a natural dam, creating a flood so great it drowned
淹没至水下500英尺 an estimated 58,000 square miles under 500 feet of water.
但除了找到远古遗迹 But more than finding the ruins of an ancient dwelling, had
Ballard还能找到证据证明 Ballard actually discovered proof that the biblical story
《圣经》故事中的大洪水、诺亚方舟是真的吗？ of Noah and the great flood was true?
这些村落当然不是在水下修建的 Those villages, of course, weren't built underwater.
所以Ballard认为黑海 So Ballard concluded that the Black Sea, as we know it, was
诞生于8、9千年前 only created some eight, 9,000 years ago.
而这正是大洪水和诺亚方舟故事发生的时代 That is exactly what we're talking about with Noah's Ark
并且发生的地点也一致 and the flood, the same area where all that happened.
事实上，主流考古学家认为 And in fact, mainstream archeologists know that in the
地中海中沉有200多个已知的城市 Mediterranean there are over 200 known sunken cities.
这些城市也是在黑海泄洪的时候 Those cities, too, were somehow flooded the same time that the
被洪水淹没了 Black Sea was flooded.
《创世纪》中的诺亚方舟故事讲到： Also written in the book of Genesis, the story of Noah tells how God "saw that
上帝“看到地上世人罪恶极大”， 就决定毁掉他所有的创造 the wickedness of man was great ," and decided to destroy all of creation.
只有诺亚，他的家人以及方舟上的动物们能够存活 Only Noah, his family, and the animals aboard the ark were
能够在地球上继续繁衍 allowed to survive and repopulate the planet.
但是这是事情的全部吗？ But is this the whole story?
诺亚被选中只是因为他的善行吗？ Was Noah selected only for his virtue?
还是由于另原因（上帝）才选择他拯救地球？ Or was there another reason he was chosen to save the planet?
远古外星人论者相信《圣经》只是整个故事的一部分 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the Bible doesn't tell the whole story.
20世纪40年代末，50年代初 In the late 1940s and early 1950s, a series of ancient
人们在现在的以色列西海岸的一个洞穴里 texts known as the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a
发现了名为《死海古卷》的一系列古代典籍 cave located in what is now Israel's West Bank.
这些古代文字记载里讲述了很多 Among the ancient writings are various stories not found in
传统希伯来《圣经》里没有的故事 the traditional Hebrew Bible.
其中有一个故事讲述了诺亚和他神奇的降生 One such story tells of Noah and his strange, miraculous birth.
《死海古卷》中的一卷名为《拉麦》 One of the Dead Sea Scrolls is called "The Lamech Scroll."
拉麦是什么？ What is Lamech?
拉麦是一位牧羊人 Lamech was a shepherd.
一天，拉麦的妻子怀孕了 And one day, Lamech, his woman was pregnant.
拉麦对她说：“我离开这几个月 And he said to her, "This is impossible.
你和谁乱搞了？” I was not here for months."
但是，他名为 Bathenosh的妻子说：“没有人碰过我” But his woman with the name Bathenosh swears, "No one touched me."
但是拉麦不相信妻子Bathenosh But Lamech doesn't believe his wife, Bathenosh, and he goes to
他就去找自己的父亲玛士撒拉 his father, which was Methuselah.
玛士撒拉对拉麦说： And Methuselah says to Lamech, "I can't help you.
我也不明白这TM是怎么回事 I don't understand this.
我相信你妻子Bathenosh说的‘没人碰过她’，我也相信你 I believe your woman, Bathenosh, "that nobody touched her, and I believe you.
那我该怎么办呢？ What shall I do?"
于是玛士撒拉去找他的爸爸，也就是拉麦的祖父 So Methuselah goes to his father, the grandfather now of Lamech.
他祖父叫以诺 His name is Enoch.
以诺告诉玛士撒拉是天上的守护神 Now Enoch tells to Methuselah that the guardians of the sky
给Bathenosh人工受精，使她怀了孕 have made an artificial insemination into the womb of Bathenosh, the wife.
他应该接受这个孩子 And he should accept this child, because this child will be
因为这个孩子会成为新的人类之父 the father of a new human generation.
在《圣经》中，这个孩子就是诺亚 And in the Bible, this is Noah.
是否正如远古外星人论者们相信的那样 What if, as ancient astronaut theorists believe,
拉麦的故事是真的 the story of Lamech is true and the guardians of the sky
并且，故事里天上的守护神实际上就是外星人？ described in the story are, in fact, aliens?
是否这就意味着诺亚是人工受精的产物？ Does this mean that Noah was the product of an artificial
是地外生命的一种基因实验？ insemination, a genetic experiment performed by extraterrestrials?
如果是这样，那场大洪水又怎么解释？ If so, what was the reason for the great flood?
关于洪水，我们可以这样理解 Well, the reason for the flood, and we need to understand this.
书中说诺亚是他那个时代的人们中纯洁的人 What it tells us is that Noah was pure in all of his generations.
这是什么意思？ What does that mean?
为什么要特别说明 You know, why would the account, you know, specify "pure in all
“最纯洁的人”？ his generations"?
《圣经》说，上帝降下洪水是因为人类的 According to the Bible, God sent the flood because of man's wickedness and
腐败与罪恶 corruption.
但是远古外星人论者们认为 But ancient astronaut theorists believe the flood was actually
洪水实际上是一种去除地球上物种缺陷的方法 a means of ridding the Earth of biological imperfections.
并借诺亚和他的家人在地球上繁衍 By using Noah and his family, they could repopulate the
创造一个基因上更优秀的物种 planet with a genetically superior species.
人类社会中的一部分人基因落后 Part of this human society is, again, genetically backward, closer
接近于动物（的基因） to the animal.
那怎么办呢？ What can be done?
要知道这些人遍布整个地球。 These humans were spread out over the planet.
于是他们说：“我们得用大洪水对他们进行清理 So they said, "We have to mill them all by a great flood, and
然后再重新开始” then we have to restart again."
诺亚故事中另一个大家熟知的事情就是 Another familiar element in the story of Noah involves the collection of
集合动物登上方舟 animals brought aboard the ark.
《圣经》中，上帝命令诺亚在每个物种中挑选一公一母 In the Bible, God commanded Noah to collect two of every
包括动物，鸟类，昆虫 kind of living creature-- animal, bird and insect.
但是许多《圣经》学者和神学专家都认同 But many biblical scholars and theologians agree that such
这是一项在体量上和生物学上都不可能完成的任务 a task would have been both physically and biologically impossible.
还有更科学的解释吗？ Could there be another more scientific explanation?
诺亚方舟的故事的确难以使人信服 The story of Noah's Ark is pretty implausible, if you think about it.
试想在每种生物中挑选两个，然后放在船上 You have two animals of each creature on planet Earth on a boat.
这不仅需要极大的船，而且问题还在于 Not only would the boat have to be huge, but how are you going
怎样才能够收集到地球上的每种动物并将它们放上船呢? to collect every animal on the planet and put it on that ship?
所以，是否有这样的可能 So, could it be possible that Noah's Ark was once again
诺亚方舟是再次被误读的某种科技， 或者它是一种DNA基因库？ misunderstood technology, and Noah's Ark was a DNA bank?
这只是一个传说吗？ Could it be a story?
抑或是一种能够 Could it be technology somehow gathering up all living things
将所有生物DNA进行保存的技术？ as in a DNA bank of some kind?
这么说也有道理 It fits together.
很难想象在那么久之前就有这样的技术 Hard to imagine, uh, how that would happen so far back, but
但如果这是事实，那么它就有必要以故事的形式来流传 if it did happen, it would need to be told as a story, and the
方舟的故事倒还挺合适的 to be told as a story, and the story of a boat works.
或许它（方舟）真的是一种地外生物的DNA信息库 Perhaps this is really an extraterrestrial DNA bank as well.
地外生物在地球上也需要动植物，矿物 The extraterrestrials need plants and animals and minerals on this planet, too.
就像我们去火星或者是别的什么星球 Just like when we go to Mars or something, we'll be using
我们也会利用那个星球上的资源 what we can use on that planet.
所以，地外生命来到这里，也会干同样的事 So, extraterrestrials coming here would want to do that as well.
如果他们知道某种大灾难即将到来 And if they knew that some cataclysm was coming, they, too,
他们也会想要保存一些动植物种 would want to preserve certain kinds of animals and plant life,
并且创造出我们知道的“诺亚方舟” and create, you know, what we think of as Noah's Ark.
外星DNA信息库 An alien DNA bank?
有这种推断的证据吗？ Is there any evidence that such a thing is even possible?
2008年挪威斯瓦尔巴特群岛的北极岛上 In 2008, on the Arctic island of Svalbard, a vault was built
人们修建了一个储藏室，藏有几万种植物种子 to store the seeds of hundreds of thousands of plants in the
以应对全球性灾难 event of a global catastrophe.
据报道，其他地方也用类似的方法 Elsewhere, similar efforts are reportedly underway to store
保存动物或人类的DNA animal and human DNA as well.
这是先进的技术发展？还是历史的重演？ Cutting-edge science or merely history repeating itself?
冷冻方舟项目由伦敦自然历史博物馆发起 The Frozen Ark Project is a program that was initiated by the London Natural
History Museum.
该项目已经开始储存濒危物种的DNA What they've done is they started to store DNA of endangered species for future
以备未来的繁衍 generations, for preservation.
时至今日， And, as of today, over a thousand species have been
数千多个物种的DNA已经分别被保存在小瓶中 preserved in small little vials.
所以问题就出来了，有没有这种可能 So, the question arises, could it be possible that
诺亚方舟不是一艘木质的船 Noah's Ark wasn't necessarily a boat made out of wood, but what
而是某种DNA储存设备 if Noah's Ark was some type of a DNA storage facility that was
用来保存地球上所有的物种？ used in order to preserve all the species on planet Earth?
如果每个物种都可以用小瓶子保存的话 If each species can be held in a tiny vile like this, then
这个故事就可以理解了 it all becomes very logical.
并且，再次，我们要从这种角度看： And, once again, we have to look at it from a perspective, "What
“我们的先辈试图描述的是什么？ did our ancestors try to describe?
他们亲历了什么？” What did they witness?"
外星人对人类进行人工受精... 远古DNA信息库... Aliens artificially inseminating humans... Ancient DNA banks...
这些概念真的有助于我们理解《圣经》吗？ Could such ideas really help our understanding of the Bible?
是否地外生命影响了人类的发展？ And is it possible that extraterrestrials have influenced the development of
mankind?
许多人在一些地方找到了 There are many who claim that the proof can be found in some
令人惊讶的证据 astonishing places.
对于那些相信外星人帮助过塑造地球历史的人来说 For those who believe that close encounters with alien beings have helped
重要的一点就是 shape Earth's history, it is important to remember that it
不仅是远古历史受到了地外文明的影响 isn't only ancient history that has been so influenced.
即使在所谓的黑暗时代（欧洲中世纪） There have been literally hundreds of credible accounts
也有几千例奇特的生物、UFO的出现 of strange creatures, UFO sightings and otherworldly
也有其他一些全球性的现象发生 phenomena that took place, even in the so-called Dark Ages.
整个中世纪，全世界都能看到这些现象 There have been sightings all over the world throughout the Middle Ages.
从苏格兰，到英格兰，到意大利，再到十字军东征 There are stories going from Scotland to England to Italy to the Crusades.
要知道十字军东征发生在几百年前 Remember the Crusades took place over hundreds of years.
许多编年史家记录了战争中的某个时候 And at certain points in the battle, in some cases over
“天空中有朵泛着红光的奇云 Turkey, in some cases over Jerusalem, there are images
从云中窜出一个奇特的形象” captured in writing by various chroniclers talking about
这样的例子在土耳其有过几次， "a strange cloud in the sky that glowed red.
在耶路撒冷也有过几次。 A strange image coming out of a cloud in the sky."
为什么我们说这是一个UFO？ Why would we say this is a UFO?
因为传统观念来看 Because, traditionally, UFOs mask themselves by forming
UFO用云来做伪装 a cloud around themselves.
天空中移动的云 And it's a cloud that's going through the sky-- that's their
正是它们隐形的状态 invisibility cloak.
在十三世纪的历史著作《Otto Imperialia》 In his 13th century historical work titled Otto
蒂尔伯里的葛凡斯写到 Imperialia, Gervase of Tilbury
英国布里斯托尔上空出现了一个飞行器 wrote about an aerial craft over the city of Bristol,
它的锚被一个教堂的塔尖勾住了 England, which caught an anchor in a church steeple.
作者所描述的“锚” He uses specifically the term "anchor."
我们并不知道那究竟是什么 Now, we don't know what kind of anchor that is.
但是一个生物，或者是人类，爬出飞行器 But a creature, a man, climbs out of this craft and tries
想要将“锚”从塔尖上移开 to free the anchor from the steeple.
所有的村民在这时候开始向他扔石头 And all the people in the village start stoning him,
认为它是某种邪魔 thinking he's some sort of evil demon.
但是对于那些远古外星人论者来说， 中世纪外星人存在的证据 But for ancient astronaut theorists, evidence of an alien presence during the
不仅仅在文学作品中出现过 Middle Ages isn't only found in literature.
纵观整个中世纪，有许多宏大的油画作品 All throughout the Middle Ages, there are some magnificent paintings...
画中的某些地方会出现一些看上去像UFO的物体 ...and in certain areas of the painting, there are what looks like to be UFOs.
它们漂浮在空中 They're always floating up in the sky-- usually above the
通常是出现在圣母玛丽亚头顶上空 Virgin Mary or above Jesus on the crucifix-- or somewhere we
或是在十字架上的耶稣的上空出现 have sceneries that Pict what looks like UFOs.
在一幅非常有意思的油画中耶稣坐在云端 One very interesting painting is where Jesus sits up in the
与那些知名的不知名的神明一起 clouds with quote, unquote "God ," and they're holding onto
他们手里握着一个貌似人造卫星天线的物体 the antennae of what looks like Sputnik; and theologians say
理论学家说这描绘的正是地球 what is depicted here is nothing else but the Earth.
但是为什么地球会支出两个天线呢 But why would Earth have two antennae sticking out of it?
为什么它就是圆的？ And why would it be round?
当时的关于地球形状的主流观点是地球是平的 Because the mainstream viewpoint at the time was that the Earth was flat.
科索沃地区有一些可以追溯到 1350年描绘耶稣受难的油画 Here are pictures of the crucifixion dated around 1350 from Kosovo.
画上，有人驾着形似飞行器的东西 Here are, presumably, vehicles with people driving them in
来参加耶稣的受难仪式 attendance at the crucifixion.
这是在描绘现实么？ 或是画家在做某种非主流的尝试？ Could this be a crude-- an attempt on the part of the
很显然画家本人并没有在现场 artist drawing on a tradition-- obviously, he wasn't there--
他是根据传统来描绘的吗？ drawing on a tradition?
亦或是他在反映民间传说？ Could he be reflecting the folklore?
一切皆有可能 Possibly.
中世纪，天使和恶魔 The people of the Middle Ages depicted devils and angels frequently,
经常出现在人们的艺术创作中 in their art.
人们并没有对我们今天所说的外星人有过特别的诠释 They did not depict what we today consider aliens, specifically.
但是天使是天堂里的生物 But angels are heavenly creatures that come from outside
是来自外太空的，不是么？ of our sphere, aren't they?
中世纪艺术家画中所出现的奇怪生物和飞行器 Did the medieval artists include strange creatures and flying spacecraft
是否意味着画家在真实生活中曾经见到过？ in their paintings because they had seen them in real life?
还是说他们是在试图表达自己的一种看法： Or were they trying to communicate their belief that
《新约》中的神迹是源自地球以外的世界？ the miraculous events of the New Testament had otherworldly origins?
解开我疑问的最著名油画 The most famous painting that resolved any doubt in my mind
就是由Crivelli于1486年创作的， 画中描绘了发出的激光束的UFO depict a UFO with its laser beam, was made by Crivelli in
油画的名字叫《天使报喜圣母玛利亚》 1486-- The Annunciation to Mary.
在中世纪的艺术作品中，整个“报喜”过程是这样的： In medieval art, in The Annunciation, when Mary is
圣母玛利亚被告知她将孕有一子并保留处女之身 told that she will have a child, but she will still be a virgin,
天使将这一讯息传达给了圣母， 而她头上盘旋着一架太空船 and the angels tell her this, over Mary's head is a space capsule.
但UFO或者是太空船在圣母玛利亚的头顶上做甚呢？ But what's a UFO, or a space capsule, doing over Mary?
可能艺术家真的亲眼目睹，并且将它绘入作品 Maybe the artist saw it and he's putting it in the painting to
将他自己看到的UFO, 和《圣经》中的“天使报喜” bring together his own vision of a UFO, the annunciation from the
即处女圣母的传说结合在一起了 Bible, and the mystery of salvation that there could be a virgin birth.
远古外星人论者们认为， According to ancient astronaut theorists, the UFO-shaped objects found in
中世纪绘画中UFO形状的物体并不是 medieval paintings aren't the only evidence of an alien
那段时期唯一的能证明外星人存在的依据 presence during the era.
William Bramley在他的书中《伊甸的众神》 In his book, The Gods of Eden,
引用了遍及整个欧洲的私人日志， author William Bramley cites
以及其他的出版物 private journals and other
所描述的那些 publications throughout
散发毒气的 Europe which contain accounts
雪茄形的飞行物 of cigar-shaped flying objects
emitting noxious mists.
这类报道始于 The first reports of this kind
14世纪中期 began during the mid-14th
当时爆发了 century, closely corresponding
人类历史上 to the outbreak of the worst
最严重的传染病 health epidemic in human
——黑死病 history-- the Black Plague.
13世纪时 The Black
很多人说 Plague, back in the 1300s, many
黑死病病毒 have said was caused by a virus
是由被跳蚤咬了的老鼠引起的 from a rodent-- bitten by fleas.
当时 This disease that wiped out
黑死病夺去了 75-plus million people on the
7千5百多万人的生命 planet at the time.
但是另一个名叫 But there's another theory by
William Bramley的人 a fellow by the name of William
认为，黑死病是外星人创造的 Bramley who says that the Black
目的是为了灭绝人类 Plague was created by ETs, that
可究竟是出于什么可怕的原因 they wanted to eradicate human
我们不得而知 beings, for whatever horrible
reason.
我们知道 We know that
鼠类可以引起瘟疫 plague can be spread by rodents.
但根据当时的记载 But there weren't that many
带病的鼠类的数量并不大 rodent infestations being
至少不足以引起 reported back then, at least not
那么大规模的瘟疫 enough to account for all of the
breakouts that we had.
你可以在那时的文学作品中看到 So what you find in the
很多这样的描写： literature from that time are
闪光（的物体） numerous reports of bright
在空中飞行，它们喷出一种气体 lights moving through the sky,
当时的人们把这种气体 emitting gas, or what they call
叫做“瘴气” "mists."
我们在中国 And we find them in China, you
在欧洲 find them in Europe.
都可以看到有类似描写（的记载） There are similar reports
如早期的 from the Justinian plague from
东罗马帝国瘟疫 earlier in history, and even
之后的瘟疫 later plagues, the cholera
还有霍乱传染病 epidemics.
在这些瘟疫的描述中 You find similar stories of
都有类似的“瘴气”的故事 mists that are the cause of the
Plague.
我们有像那样的武器 We have weapons like that--
即生化武器 biological warfare.
我猜不到 As for the motive as to why
（瘟疫制造者）有何动机 this happened, I can only kind
of scratch my head, because in
因为对于UFO现象 the UFO phenomena, we see
我们看到的都一样 certain consistent patterns, but
但我们总是没办法 we don't always understand the
搞清楚他们的动机 motive.
意大利历史学家 Italian historian
Matteo Villani记录了黑死病 Matteo Villani, who both chronicled the Black Death and
而他本人也在14世纪死于这场瘟疫 died from it in the 14th century, wrote of pestilential
他从亚洲旅客那儿得知致病的雾气，并做了记录 fogs reported by travelers from Asia.
他甚至写到人们相信 He even wrote that people were convinced they could actually
他们可以直接看到瘟疫在街上蔓延 see the plague coming through the streets.
但是远古外星人论者发现了 But what some ancient astronaut believers find to be even
外星人参与（瘟疫事件的）更有力的证据： stronger evidence of alien involvement, are the numerous reports of mysterious
其中有很多穿着“黑斗篷”的神秘生物的报导 black-cloaked creatures who would appear on the outskirts
他们会在某个村庄爆发瘟疫前，出现于其郊外 of villages just before plague broke out.
当时的记载里写到，这些生物有“可怖的面孔” Contemporary accounts describe them as having "terrifying
“挥着长柄镰刀样的东西散播毒雾” faces" and "waving long, scythe-like objects dispensing noxious mists."
这就是今天我们称之为死神的形象 It's the image we know today as the Grim Reaper.
这些黑色的生物通常出现在城镇郊区 These figures in black would appear usually on the outskirts of a town.
它们带着这种看起来像长镰刀一样的东东 They were carrying these long devices that looks like scythes.
他们开始在田野中掠过 These figures in black would start sweeping in the fields as
就像在收割小麦 though they were cutting down the wheat.
之后，瘟疫立即爆发 Then immediately there would be an outbreak of the plague.
尽管远古外星人论者对Bramley认为 Although ancient astronaut theorists are divided on Bramley's proposal that
外星人是瘟疫的原因仍持有异议 aliens we behind the plague, his research, like the artwork
但他的研究和当时的艺术作品都得出了这样的结论 of the time, has led to one important conclusion.
毫无疑问的是 What is evidenced is the fact that visitations occurred since before recorded
从古至今地外生命一直在与我们发生接触 history all the way to today.
并不是说，外星人接触只是发生在千万年前 It's not like ancient astronauts only happened thousands of years
后来突然我们就有了罗斯维尔事件 ago, and then all of a sudden we have Roswell.
这个事实表明地外生命与地球接触自古至今延续了几千年 The fact alone, that these visitations have been going on
这个结论的确有点让人震惊 for all this time, thousands of years, that's sensational.
飞行的圆柱体从空中散播瘟疫？ Flying cylinders spreading plague from the sky?
全身黑衣的外星人来毁灭人类？ Black-clad aliens looking to destroy humans?
即使这些是事实，那么，为什么呢？ But even if possible, why?
并且，还有进一步的证据以 And, if true, wouldn't there continue to be evidence of even
证明更直接更紧密的地外接触吗？ more close encounters-- encounters that would take place much closer to home?
当哥伦布一行人踏上欧洲人称之为“新大陆”的土地时 When Columbus and his men first set foot in what to the Europeans was the "New
当地人从来没有见过他们这样的人 World," the indigenous people had never encountered anyone like them.
他们皮肤苍白 Their skin was pale.
穿着闪亮材料制成的奇异服装 They wore strange clothes made of bright, often shiny materials.
他们乘着大船，带着先进的武器 They arrived in massive ships and had powerful weapons.
对于土著人来说，他们就是来自遥远奇而特世界的外星人 To the natives, the visitors were truly aliens from a strange, faraway world--
（土著人认为）只有来自天堂的人才能如此强大 powerful beings who might just as well have been sent from the heavens.
哥伦布的日志中写道 Columbus wrote in his journal that the inhabitants eagerly came out
土著人饶有兴趣地看着他们的船， 并问他们是不是来自天堂 to see their ships, and asked them if they had come from the heavens.
尽管哥伦布一行人说明： And despite the fact that Columbus and his men indicated,
“不，我们不是从天堂来的。” "No, we didn't come from the heavens," they called out to
土著居民们仍然对岸上的女人们喊道： the people still on the shore, "Come out and see the people
“老婆，快出来看上帝” who've come from the heavens."
当然，认为他们来自天上 Certainly, it seems interesting to wonder why it is that
而不是可能来自于海外的另一个地方 instead of thinking that possibly they came from some
这个观点挺有意思的 other part of the sea, that they'd come from the sky.
但是，还有更多的故事 But there is more to the story.
不太为人所知的一个故事是 哥伦布亲身体验的地外生命接触 Less well-known is that Columbus had an alien encounter
他在航海日志中写到 of his own, one reported in his log just days before he
在到达新大陆几天之前 reached the shores of the New World.
1492年10月11日晚10点左右 at about 10p.m. on the 11th of October, 1492, the anxious explorer was on the deck of the
站在圣玛丽号的甲板上的哥伦布 Santa Maria when he saw a
忽然看到“远处的一个发光体” "light glimmering at a great distance."
他写到：“船长站在后甲板上看到了光亮 Columbus wrote, "The admiral, standing on the quarterdeck saw a light.
并告诉另一个叫Pedro Gutierrez的人光亮的事情 Calling to Pedro Gutierrez, he told him he saw a light, and
让他也向那个方向看，Pedro Gutierrez也确实看到了 bid him look that way, which he did and saw it.
船长又观察了一两次 The admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like
他看到烛光般的光亮上下移动” the light of a wax candle moving up and down."
两人又叫来另一个船员 Summoning another member of the crew, the two watched as the
他们一起看到光亮忽闪忽灭 light vanished and reappeared repeatedly.
看到水里有光不算异常 Seeing lights in the water isn't really an anomaly.
我们都知道有些海洋生物会发光 We all know that certain kinds of underwater life give off lights.
但是这个光亮随船一起前进 But this light actually traveled along with the ship.
哥伦布的航海日志中记录了一个从水中升起的发光体 Columbus noted in the log a glowing object rise out of the water, and head off
它飞向了天空 into the atmosphere.
哥伦布看到的究竟是什么？ What did Columbus see?
一个发出磷光的海洋生物？ A phosphorescent sea creature?
一种幻觉？ An hallucination?
还是其他的什么？ Or was it something more?
这个星球以外的某种东西？ Something from out of this world?
哥伦布的船员们 What did Columbus'
看到的是什么？ men see?
他们看到的是一个发光体 What they saw was a luminous object, that upon breaking
它冲出水面就变成了一个UFO the water's surface, became a UFO.
对于像Bill Birnes这样的研究UFO的人来说 To UFO researchers like Bill Birnes, Columbus'
哥伦布的观察意义重大 sighting is significant, not only because of when it occurred, but also because
因为光亮发生的时间以及它从海中升起的现象 the object was spotted coming out of the sea, ruling out the
都证明它不是彗星或流星 possibility that what he saw was a comet or a shooting star.
有意思的是这个目击事件发生 的地点就是今天的百慕大三角 What's intriguing is that this was in what we cal- today the Bermuda Triangle.
百慕大三角那片地方 The Bermuda Triangle, that area, particularly off of
特别是巴哈马群岛Bimini岛外的那片水域 Bimini, the Bahamas, may in fact be-- and I'm way out on a
我猜测水下有可能是某种殖民总部，虽然我并不肯定 limb here-- Colony headquarters underneath that.
这里UFO潜入水中，隐入暗流 Here UFO goes down into the water and then into a subterranean.
还有什么位置能比加勒比海更适合监测南非 What better position would be to monitor South America,
美洲中部和埃及呢？ Middle America, Egypt than the Caribbean?
许多人相信 Many people believe that it's possible that UFOs
UFO可能用海床作为自己的基地 could have established bases on the seafloor.
从某种角度来说 To some extent, it's true that we know more about the
我们对于我们海洋最深处的了解 Moon or some parts of outer space than we do about the
甚至不及我们对月球或外太空某些部分的了解 deepest parts of our own oceans.
这是我们对从水中出现的UFO的 This event is extremely important because it is the world's first
第一次记录 recorded event that illustrate the appearance of UFO as object
所以它十分重要 emerging from the water.
如果哥伦布的所见如此特别 If Columbus sighting was so extraordinary, why do we only find record of it
为什么只有他的航海日志才对此有所记录？ in his log?
一些人认为 Some believe another account of this event exists in the
西班牙宗教法庭的官方记录中有另一个证据 official records of the Spanish Inquisition.
UFO研究者Maximillien De Lafayette声称 UFO researcher Maximillien De Lafayette claims that Columbus' shipmate, Pedro
哥伦布的水手Gutierrez告诉他那个天空中的亮光体 Gutierrez, reported him to the Inquisition after hearing
代表着犹太教的七灯烛台， 并将这一情况向宗教法庭汇报 Columbus describe the lights in the sky as resembling the Jewish menorah.
当哥伦布一行返回西班牙时 When they went back to Spain, Gutierrez went directly to the
水手就被送上了臭名卓著的西班牙宗教法庭 infamous Inquisition.
该法庭是一个梵蒂冈创立的天主教机构 This is the Catholic organization created by the Vatican to persecute and
旨在迫害、杀害异教徒 kill the infidels.
异教徒就是除了天主教徒外的 犹太教徒、伊斯兰教徒和基督徒 The infidels means the Jews, the Muslims and Christians who are not Catholic.
法庭传唤水手Gutierrez，让他作出解释，当庭作证 The Inquisition called him for explanation, deposition.
“你说你看到了七灯烛台？ "Did you say that you saw menorah?
你为什么会这么说？ Why did you say menorah?
噢，因为你是个犹太教徒” Oh, so you are a Jew."
水手Gutierrez说：“我不是犹太教徒” He said, "I'm not a Jew."
在冗长的证词中 In the deposition, which is lengthy, you find more details,
我们发现有关哥伦布所见的更多细节，更精确的描述 meticulous details of what Columbus saw above the water.
证词的文件放在梵蒂冈的储藏室中 The file of the Inquisition is in the vault of the Vatican.
如果你运气好，能够接触到这些秘密文件 And good luck if you can go to the secret file of the
你就能找出像这个故事一样的惊天秘闻 Vatican and try to dig for document as explosive as this one.
西班牙宗教法庭的秘密文件？ Secret files of the Spanish Inquisition?
哥伦布时代UFO和外星人的现象？ UFOs and alien sightings in the time of Columbus?
似乎有些牵强 Farfetched, perhaps.
但是对提出远古外星人论者来说 But to proponents of ancient astronaut theory, these
殖民新大陆前与地外生命的亲密接触比比皆是 precolonial close encounters are considered commonplace events.
这些接触进一步告诉我们，我们并不是唯一智慧生命体 For them, it offers additional proof that we are not alone.
在发现和征服美洲大陆的过程中 They have several sightings of what we would call UFOs today
他们看到了好几次今日称为UFO的东东 along the discovery of America, during the conquest of America.
哥伦布不是唯一目击者 Columbus was not the only one.
在麦哲伦航海旅途中 Also on the trip of Magellan.
他也看到了类似现象 Fernando De Magellan, the discoverer of the Strait,
费尔南多麦哲伦是继哥伦布之后环游世界第二人 who circumnavigate the world after Columbus.
他发现了麦哲伦海峡 He have also sightings.
海员们经常看到天空上 Seafarers often encounter strange lights both in the sky and below the
或海里出现奇怪的亮光 surface of the ocean.
质疑者说哥伦布看到的现象，和许多其他现象一样 Skeptics argue that Columbus'
都只不过是自然现象而已 sighting, like many others, was simply a natural phenomenon.
夜间会出现许多东东，比如火球 At night, there are all kinds of things, for example bolides.
火球其实是比较大的彗星，而且蔚为壮观 Bolides are these very large comets, and they're spectacular.
它们发着强光，拖着尾巴 It's just like this enormous bright light with a trail that
划过天空 just arcs through the sky.
但是我们有能力辨认 But we can tell the difference.
一个彗星，或一个那样的火球 When you have a meteor like that or a bolide, the characteristics are very
它们与真正的UFO是不一样的 different than the ones of genuine UFOs.
早在19世纪 As far back as the 19th century, people have speculated about what that
人们就对这些光亮的成因做了猜测 light could've been.
大多人都认为 Explanations have centered around the possibility that it
它们可能只是岛屿上的居民们打的光，或燃烧的火把 could've been a light or a torch being carried by an island inhabitant.
但是光亮出现的地方距任何一个岛屿都超过了35英里 They were in fact more than 35 miles away from any land,
所以这个猜测是无意义的 which makes that impossible.
另一种猜测认为 The other possibility is that it was a meteor traveling
这可能是地平面附近移动的流星 very close to the horizon, and that the movement of the ship is actually what
而航行中的船使得流星的光亮看起来在上下移动 made the light appear to be moving up and down.
但是如果传统科学的解释是错误的 But what if conventional science is wrong and the ancient astronaut
而远古外星人论者们的观点是正确的呢？ theorists are correct?
如果哥伦布、麦哲伦以及其他早期探险家们看到的 What if Columbus, Magellan and the early explorers really did see evidence of
确实是造访地球的地外生命，那又会怎么样？ extraterrestrial creatures visiting our planet?
这些对我们的过去有什么启示？ What does this say about our past?
还有我们的历史 Our history?
以及我们的未来 And our future?
1561年4月14日 Germany, April
德国 14, 1561.
清晨，纽伦堡的市民们醒来 At dawn, the citizens of Nuremberg awoke to what was
他们看到了一个被当地新闻快报称为“非常可怕的景象” described in a local news flier as "a very frightful spectacle."
人们看到天空中有各种奇怪的生物 Various strange objects were spotted in the sky...
它们似乎在天空打战 engaged in what appeared to be an aerial battle.
他们近距离看到的是地外生命吗？ Could they have been witnessing a close encounter?
太阳升起时，他们看到了这难以置信的景象 They see this incredible sight as the sun is coming up.
他们看到雪茄型的物体在空中盘旋 They see what they describe as cigar-shaped objects, circles
还有十字形的物体 in the air, and crosses;
它们在空中飞行 flying crosses.
突然，两种不同形状的物体开始撞向对方 And suddenly, these shapes begin emitting other shapes.
人们看到这些半球形和碟形物体在空中停留了很久 The spheres and discs were seen for a long time, as they apparently
很明显，他们是在城市的上空激战 were fighting in some kind of a battle over the city.
实际上，他们的确是在打仗 In fact, the battle was so evident that the people in
因为（记载说）纽伦堡的市民甚至可以预测哪一方将获胜 Nuremberg were actually able to perceive which side was winning.
人们看到一些物体撞向地面 Some of the objects were seen to crash into the ground
消失于一阵烟云或雾气中 and disappear in a cloud of smoke or steam.
其他物体则飞走了，消失于面向太阳的方向 Other objects were seen to fly off and disappear in the direction of the sun.
这整个场面被画在了一张大纸上 This entire event becomes memorialized in a broadsheet.
在16世纪，这实际上就是一份报纸 Now a broadsheet in the 16th century was literally a newspaper.
这张纸现在保留在了瑞士和苏黎世 And that broadsheet exists today in Zurich, Switzerland.
今天的苏黎世中央图书馆不仅有那副著名的 The Zurich Central Library to this day retains a copy not only of the famous
记录了1561年纽伦堡事件的木刻画 woodcut that shows the 1561 sighting over Nuremberg, but
还有另外一幅木刻画， 它记录了1566年出现在瑞士巴塞尔的景象 also a 1566 woodcut showing a sighting from that year that
两幅画记录的都极为相似 was quite similar in Basel, Switzerland.
好玩的是这两个事件非常地相似 What's fascinating is it's a very similar event.
人们看到天空中有一些环状物 People saw a bunch of circles in the air.
实际上，是天空中不断增多的环状物 In fact, a proliferation of circles in the air.
他们并不认为这一定是种空战 They didn't necessarily interpret that as a battle in
但是他们将此现象解读为上天的启示 the air, but they did interpret it as some kind of heavenly sign.
在5年后的纽伦堡和巴塞尔 The broadsheets that were distributed both in Nuremberg and in Basel five
人们被忠告“为自己的罪孽忏悔” years later, advised people to "repent for their sins" and
他们将这种异常现象理解为神启 interpreted these extraordinary events as signs from God.
在古代，每一个超自然的事情 In old time, everything paranormal, extra, extra-- hyphen--
都归于神、归于上帝 ordinary belongs the realm of divinity, of Gods.
这是上帝干的 "God's doing this!
上帝在惩罚我们 God is punishing us!
上帝在保佑我们 God is blessing us!
（因此）忏悔吧 Go repent!
去教堂做礼拜吧！ Go to church!"
纽伦堡的图画非常有趣 It's interesting to read the Nuremberg description because it is written with
因为上面是一些想象的宗教图案 religious iconography in mind.
它们描绘了很早以前人们看见的 They talk about crosses seen in the sky on the previous day
在天空中出现的一种“十字交叉”状的东西 during that sighting.
现在我们也许会觉得那只是带着机翼的飞机 Now what we might think of as a fuselage with wings, might've
而对那些和宗教符号打交道的古人 appeared as a cross to people who saw religious symbolism
他们会把它当成十字架 constantly in their everyday life.
真的很难解释这些东西为什么会出现 It's difficult to imagine how these things might have
不过可以肯定的是 appeared, but it's certainly possible that if these were to
如果它们出现在今天，我们对它们的认识肯定大不一样 appear in the sky today, we would describe them quite differently.
是否可能，纽伦堡的人们见证的实际上是 Could the people of Nuremberg have actually witnessed a battle between
一场敌对的星际派系之间战争？ warring alien factions; an event eerily similar to the one
就如3000多年前《薄伽梵歌》中记载的那次神秘事件一样 written about in the Bhagavad Gita over 3,000 years earlier?
可如果不是这样，那如何解释那么多出现在天上的 And if not, what else would explain the vivid accounts of
栩栩如生的发光球体和血红色的十字状物？ luminous globes and blood-red crosses appearing in the sky?
贯穿整个中世纪发生的各种奇怪现象 Throughout the Middle Ages, visions of strange happenings
通常都被归因于上帝或者超自然力 were often attributed to God or to the supernatural.
但随着进入17世纪近代初期 But moving into what is known as the early modern period of
人们开始更多地 the 17th century, people began to look more and more toward
用科学或者天体来解释问题 science and the stars for answers.
随着1608年折射望远镜的问世 And with the invention of the refracting telescope in 1608,
越来越多的人开始关注星空 there would be more eyes trained on the stars than ever before.
而讽刺的是，第一份通过望远镜观察到的UFO报告 Ironically, the first report of a UFO witnessed through this
却出自当时美国最著名的清教徒牧师 new device came from colonial America's best-known Puritan
Cotton Mather（牧师姓名） minister, Cotton Mather.
这位著名的新英格兰传教士 There was an incredible sighting that the very famous New England preacher
看到了一些令人难以置信的东西 Cotton Mather had.
Cotton Mather说他通过望远镜 Cotton Mather said that he was looking through a telescope at
观察月球的时候，看到了一个发光的东西 the Moon, and in the telescope he saw a flying light over the
在月球表面飞过 surface of the moon.
有人会问，这是如何被记录下来的？ Well, how did this get recorded?
除了NASA还能有谁... By none other than NASA.
你可以亲自去查看（这个记录） And people can find it themselves.
在NASA 500年来的月球异常记录报告里就有 Go to the NASA report on lunar anomalies over 500 years,
关于Cotton Mather目击UFO and they will find Cotton Mather's sighting of a UFO
飞过月球表面的记录 over the surface of the Moon.
有太多的自然气候现象能 There are a vast number of natural atmospheric phenomena that can appear as
像明灯一样出现在夜空 bright lights in the night sky.
当然，流星就算是其中一种 Certainly, uh, meteors are a possibility.
甚至一些地质现象，具体来说比如一个炙热发光的球体 Even certain kinds of terrestrial phenomena do materialize as glowing balls of
从远处看起来也像是一颗星星 light that, seen from a distance, may appear to be a star.
而且在夜间去判断发光体的源头与你的距离 And it's incredibly difficult to judge the distance of a
也是件极其困难的事 point source of light in the night.
所以他（那个牧师）可能以为那个东西在月球上 So he may have thought that it was on the surface of the Moon,
或者几千公里以外 or-or hundreds of miles away, when in reality, it could've
而实际上，它（发光体）可能离他很近 been quite close to where he was.
虽然Cotton Mather所见未必属实 Though it is uncertain what Cotton Mather saw, ancient astronaut theorists
但远古外星人论者认为， 一个著名的宗教人物能把它（发光体） find it significant that a prominent religious figure would
归于天文现象而不是神，这本身就是个很大的突破 report such a sighting not as a vision from God, but as an astronomical event.
他们认为这不仅是对UFO现象真实性的一种肯定 They see it as a sign, not only of the sighting's authenticity,
而且这也标志着人们对地外文明存在性的看法的改变 but that views on the possibility of extraterrestrial
甚至也标志着人们开始重新思考自己对宗教的看法 life were starting to shift, even within the Christian church.
Cotton Mather被认为是来自地狱的传教士 Cotton Mather was known as a fire and brimstone preacher.
但他所做的也有合理的一部分 But there's a rational part of Cotton Mather as well...
因为当时正是工业革命初期 because this was the very beginning; the dawn of the industrial revolution.
此时人们开始谈论科学 And in this context, people were thinking about science, they
他们谈论机器，甚至开始思考 were thinking about machines, and really thinking about, could
宇宙中是否还有其她人？ there be something in space?
16世纪时期，尽管类似Cotteon Mather的观测记录并不多 Although sightings like Cotton Mather's were still rare in the 1700s, the
但是随着人们对天文学兴趣的不断增加 increasing interest in astronomy sparked a new debate
“多重世界论”开始形成， 并在数世纪的时间里被人们广泛探讨 over a centuries-old theory called "the plurality of
该理论认为宇宙中存在着其她的生命 worlds;" the idea that life might exist elsewhere throughout the universe.
在18世纪末，大多数的人，至少说大多数的受过教育的人 By the end of the 18th century, the majority of people, at least of educated
他们都认为外星人存在于 people, were convinced that all throughout the solar system
整个太阳系 on Jupiter, on Mars, on Saturn.
木星、火星、土星上都有外星人 All of them had extraterrestrials.
而且很可能的是，连月球上也有外星生物 Very possibly the Moon would have intelligent beings on it.
我曾做过一个统计 I once did a tally of the leading intellectuals in the
在18世纪里最NB的知识分子中 18th century; over half of them included ideas of
超过一半的人都发表过外星人（存在）的观点 extraterrestrial life in their publications.
18世纪早期的天文学家William Herschel The premier 18th- century astronomer William Herschel also supported the
也赞成外星文明存在的观点 theory that life existed on other planets.
美国开国元勋之一，Thomas Paine So did Thomas Paine, one of America's Founding Fathers,
以及当时的一些宗教领袖也在其列 along with many religious leaders of the time.
牧师们传教说外星人的存在是上帝仁慈的证据 Preachers were preaching about extraterrestrials as a proof of God's goodness.
他们说上帝是仁慈的上帝 That's the idea that if there is a good and beneficent
她在所有的星球上都创造了生命 God, he would populate all the planets, all the stars.
尽管关于外星人的存在性 Though there was open debate about the existence
在16世纪得到了广泛讨论 of extraterrestrial life in the 1700s, the discussion did not
但这些讨论都不曾涉及外星人来访地球的观点 often extend to the idea of aliens visiting Earth.
但在1731年，一系列的（UFO）目击事件 But in 1731, a series of sightings occurred across
发生在欧洲，它们的真实性无法被人们忽视 Europe that were so compelling, the possibility could no longer be ignored.
现在只要有人把拍摄到UFO的视频传上土豆、优酷 In modern UFO sightings, the communications about UFOs are instant;
世界各地的人们立刻就能看到 it's on the Internet, it's on YouTube.
18世纪那会儿可没电脑 But what about some of these 18th-century or Renaissance sightings?
那是件不可思议的事 Here's something incredible.
在1731年爱尔兰的基尔肯尼 In 1731 over Kilkenny, Ireland, there was a sighting of
有人看见红色的云层里冒出了个发光体 a luminous object coming out of a red cloud.
之后的一周里，这发光体出现在了欧洲的各个地方 That same sighting is reported in the span of a week over the rest of Europe,
特别是西欧的罗马利亚 particularly over Romania in Eastern Europe.
这是两个没有任何（信息）交流的国家 Now, here are two countries that are not communicating with each other.
他们看不到对方的报纸，他们用不同的语言 Newspapers don't go back and forth, they don't speak the
当时没有收音机，也没有电视 same language, there's no radio and there's no television.
这个UFO被发现从爱尔兰海沿途整个欧洲 Yet a UFO was spotted traveling from the Irish Sea, across
飞到西欧，直奔亚洲 Europe all the way to Eastern Europe and towards Asia, and
而（途中）各地的人们都看到了它（的出现） is spotted in different places as it goes.
这可都是来自互相独立的记录啊 Independent observations that don't cross-pollinate.
这些对空中不明飞行物的报道几乎都是一致的 Could these nearly identical reports of a strange
仅仅是个巧合吗？ object passing through the sky be mere coincidence?
如果它们真的是外星飞船 And if it was an alien craft, is it possible that earlier
那它们在远古时期的出现是否会被人们 sightings simply weren't reported because they were
误认为是来自上帝的神迹呢？ interpreted as signs from God?
在美国殖民时期 In colonial America, the idea that aliens were visiting Earth
人们逐渐相信外星人正在造访地球 was gaining ground.
而在17世纪，这个争议的话题 And in the 1800s, this controversial theory would even
甚至开始出现在美国白宫 make its way to the White House.
1776年，美国正式宣布从大英帝国的殖民中独立 The United States officially declared its independence from Great Britain
仅仅14年以后 in 1776... and just 14 years later, a report of the first UFO
美国史上的第一起UFO目击事件报道出现在 sighting in American history appeared in the newly published
马萨诸塞湾殖民地的第二把手 约翰.温斯罗普刚出版的日记上 journals of John Winthrop, the second governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
他的日记也就是现在我们知道的 《新英格兰史，1630—1649》 His journals, which are now known as "A History of New
这本书记录了那段时期的大大小小的事件 England, 1630-1649," are still considered the preeminent record
至今仍被认为是美国历史上的一部佳作 for that period in American history.
在1790年，也就是约翰.温斯罗普死后的140多年后 When the journals were finally published in 1790, over
这本日记才出版 140 years after Winthrop's death, they were found to
而让人吃惊的是，里面记录了一起 contain an alarming account of a possible close encounter over
出现在波士顿泥之河的上方的UFO目击事件 Boston's Muddy River.
日记里写到，1639年3月的一个晚上 One night in March of 1639, James Everall, who is
一个为人谨慎的名叫詹姆斯.埃弗拉的人 described as being a "sober and discreet man," and two of his
同他的两个哥们儿在波士顿泥之河上划船 companions, boarded a little boat in the Muddy River of Boston.
划着划着他们突然发现 As they paddled along the river, they saw a great bright
空中出现了一道亮光 light that hovered in the sky.
按他们的描述，在仔细观察后他们发现 As they watched, the light flared up and then contracted
那（发光体）有着猪的形状 into what they described as the figure of a swine.
很难想象一个严肃的男人 It's difficult to imagine anybody seriously reporting a
会说他看见了一只会飞的发光的猪 sighting of a glowing, flying pig.
我们忍不住猜测 Looking at the sighting, one can't help but wonder if they
他们看见的难道是个椭圆的飞行器 were struggling to describe an oval-shaped fuselage and four
也许它下面还有起落架？ short, what we might now call landing struts or landing gear,
这样好像才合乎逻辑 in a way that made sense in the 17th century.
温斯罗普描述到，那个东东在空中像箭一样 Winthrop's account states that the object moved swift as an arrow, jetting
毫无规律地飞来飞去，这样持续了两到三个小时 back and forth as well as up and down for two to three hours.
而当它消失后，这三个哥们儿吃惊地发现 And when it finally disappeared, the three passengers in the boat, who had
本该顺流而下的船 been drifting downstream the entire time, were astonished to
居然还停留在他们出发的地方 find themselves back at the point where they began their trip.
温斯罗普在日记里说到这简直不可思议 What Winthrop describes in his journal is really difficult to explain.
当然，三个男人坐在船上 Certainly, it seems hard to fathom that, for two or three
看见波士顿的空中出现一个飞来飞去的亮光 hours, three men in a boat watched a bright light moving
这本身就让人难以理解 around in the sky over the city of Boston.
而他们甚至没注意到船在水流中一直保持不动 And it seems almost inconceivable that their boat could've been drawn back
这就更TM的神奇了 against the tide without their noticing it.
这一类的奇怪的未知现象 These type of strange and inexplicable phenomenon are now
现在有个统称叫“外星人劫持事件” associated with the phenomena that's called "alien abduction."
遭遇类似的事件的人们会说 As abduction cases evolved, you heard people say all of a sudden everything
他们发现突然周围所有的东西都慢了下来 around them was slowing way, way down.
他们把这种情况称为 And they associate the slowing way, way down with whatever
“外星诱拐后遗症” this event is that we call the "human abduction syndrome."
这次泥之河事件是否可能不仅是 Could this event at Muddy River be not only North
北美第一个UFO记录，而且 America's first documented UFO sighting, but also the first
也是第一起外星人绑架事件的记录呢？ account of an alien abduction?
那些坚信这是起外星人接触事件的人指出 Those who believe the account!
在温斯罗普的日记里的最后一行明确写到 in Winthrop's journals was an actual alien encounter point to
其他一些可信的人 the last line of his report which states, "other credible
也看见过同样的发光体 persons saw the same light."
直到1790年温斯罗普的故事发表后 By the time Winthrop's history was published in 1790, the
关于外星人存在与否的争论 debate over the possibility of extraterrestrial life was more
达到了前所未有的激烈程度 heated than ever before.
实际上这个被热议的话题甚至使得 In fact, the question of whether life existed on other
美国的开国之父之一，托马斯.佩恩 planets had become so hotly contested, it caused one of
被变向地放逐欧洲 America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, to be unofficially exiled to Europe.
托马斯.佩恩以一种引人注目的方式参与了外星人争论 Thomas Paine enters the extraterrestrial life debate in a very dramatic way.
他是个英格兰人，可却是个著名的美国爱国者 He was an Englishman, but famous American patriot.
他出版了一本叫做《理性时代》的书 Thomas Paine publishes a book called The Age of Reason.
在《理性时代》里 And in The Age of Reason, he
他对基督教发起了最猛烈的攻击 makes one of the most vigorous attacks on Christianity ever made.
本书的最后一句写到 The bottom line on it is, he says, you must believe in extraterrestrials if you
如果你对现代天文学有了解的话， 你肯定会相信外星人的存在 know any modern astronomy.
说创造了由无数星球构成的宇宙的上帝一直在保佑我们 The idea of God made the entire universe going from planet to planet redeeming
这纯属瞎掰 people is just impossible to believe.
而这（个说法）也产生了很大的轰动 That creates a sensation.
这本书印成了好几千册 Thousands of copies of the book were sold.
1793年的12月，托马斯.佩恩在法国被捕 In December of 1793, Thomas Paine was arrested in France as a result of
理由是他支持了一个名存实亡的政党 supporting a political party that was no longer in power.
当美国（驻法国）大使拒绝帮助他的时候 When the American ambassador refused to speak on his behalf,

因为他那些外星人的观点抨击了传统的基督信仰 supporting the idea of extraterrestrial life and refuting traditional
华盛顿对他很是烦躁 Christianity.
1802年，美国第三任总统托马斯.杰弗森 In 1802, he was invited back to America by the third president,
重新启用了佩恩 Thomas Jefferson.
当时，杰弗森是个被公认的大天才 Jefferson, an intellectual, was considered a genius by many in
他的行政手段和科学态度都受到很多人的赞赏 his time, both for his skill as a statesman and his scientific aptitude.
一些人也认为他同当时的 And some believe he was also a proponent, like his

都是多重世界论的支持者 the plurality of worlds.
多重世界论是18世纪得到广泛 The concept of a plurality of worlds was a very widely accepted concept in the
认同的一个理论 18th century.
像约翰.亚当斯和托马斯.佩恩这一类的人已经不再探讨 People like John Adams and Thomas Paine didn't view extraterrestrial life as a
外星人是否存在这样的话题了， 他们已经把它当做一个事实 possibility but rather as a matter of fact that everybody knew to be true.
新的科学理性使得 The new rationality in science changed the way that
这些开国之父对宗教的看法发生转变 these Founding Fathers talked about religion.
1825年，托马斯.杰弗森为弗吉尼亚大学雇贤 1825: Thomas Jefferson is hiring faculty for the University of Virginia.
约翰.亚当斯给他建议说 And John Adams writes to him and gives him advice on how to do that hiring.
不要雇佣欧洲的教授 He says, "Do not hire any European professors.
因为他们很可能信基督 If you hire a European professor, they are liable to
这（对搞外星人研究）可不是件好事 believe in Christianity, and that is a very dangerous
而应该找非宗教人士 doctrine that we should stay far away from."
其它的开国之父也同意这个观点 Other Founding Fathers also agreed with this view, which included a belief
他们都相信其她星球上有外星人 in the existence of life on other planets.

在新墨西哥的西北部 In northwestern New Mexico lies a vast concentration of ancient ruins
有一个叫做查科大峡谷的大型远古遗迹 known today as Chaco Canyon.
它在公元900至1150年间由砂岩块和木材建成 Built from sandstone blocks and timber between 900 and 1150
其中15个主要的建筑群有四层结构 A.D., the 15 major complexes of Chaco Canyon contained

人工建造得花上好几千个小时 thousands of man-hours to construct.
直到19世纪，它们仍是北美最大的建筑 Until the 19th century, they were the largest buildings in North America.
查科峡谷曾是许多不同印第安部落及 Chaco Canyon was a center of activity for a lot of different Indian

科技和宗教活动中心 activities.
里面有很多朝向天空的轴型建筑 There's a lot of places on there that has direct bearings up into the universe.
1896年，当考古学家首次挖掘出这些废墟时 When archeologists first excavated these ruins in 1896, they marveled at their
他们对这些精悍的建筑技术感到不可思议 architectural precision.
但更让人吃惊的是 But even more astonishing was the fact that many of these
其中许多的古老建筑结构—同在埃及、英格兰 ancient structures-- like those found in Egypt, England and
及南美发现的一样—都显示这些古老文明 South America-- suggested the inhabitants had a sophisticated

加拿大新斯科舍省的一个无人憩居的小岛上 island in Nova Scotia, Canada.
1795年在新斯科舍省，三个农村小伙儿出发 In 1795, three Nova Scotia farm boys set out to explore nearby Oak Island after
前往附近的橡树岛探险，他们曾在半夜里看见 witnessing strange green lights coming from its shore in the
它的海滨上出现了一些奇怪的绿光 middle of the night.
他们在岛上发现了一个小坑 As they came to the island, they saw that there was one little, you know, pit
他们觉得这坑很怪异 that they thought, "Well, this is very odd," so they started
于是他们便在小坑处往下挖 to dig in that particular spot.
他们发现一些橡木特制平台 They came across different platforms made out of wood,
当挖得更深时 especially out of oak, and the deeper they dug, they also came
他们还发现了一张由椰子纤维制成的草垫 across a mat made of coconut fiber, and they came across a
以及一块刻着奇怪字迹的石板 stone slab that had very bizarre writing on it.
首先需要明确一点： One thing is crystal clear:
加拿大没有椰树 Canada does not have any coconut trees, so the mat made
那么这椰子纤维制成的草垫从何而来？ of coconut fiber-- where did it come from?
人们会兴致勃勃地问：这些个东西是怎么被做出来的？ That's a very intriguing question-- how all these different levels were made.
（三个小伙子）把小坑向下挖了30尺 The initial excavation stopped at a depth of thirty feet.
但从那以后，十多个专业的挖掘队也参与其中 But since that time, over a dozen professional excavations
雇主几乎贯穿整个社会阶层 have been attempted and funded by everyone from actors
小到影视明星约翰.韦恩， 大到（美国总统）富兰克林.罗斯福 John Wayne and Errol Flynn to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
挖掘公司在这纯粹的“烧钱坑”周围 Mining and excavation companies have dug multiple shafts surrounding the
凿了很多口井 whole Money Pit with the hopes of achieving or reaching
希望能挖到传说中的“ONE PIECE” whatever is buried down there.
他们甚至试着从旁边斜着下挖，可仍一无所获 They've even tried to dig in sideways, and even that didn't work.
挖掘队发现 Based on the findings from numerous excavations, the Money Pit
至少在200尺深度内，从地面开始 contains a series of oak platforms starting at a depth of
“烧钱坑”下每十尺便出现一层橡木制陆台 ten feet and recurring every ten feet thereafter, going at least 200 feet down.
在这些陆台间放有些厚石板 In between these platforms are slabs of flagstone-- not
而这些石板既不来自岛上，也不属于其粘土层 indigenous to the island-- and layers of puddle clay.
“烧钱坑”不仅“烧钱”还“烧命” Efforts to reach the bottom of the pit have proven so
有六人在挖掘工作中死亡 dangerous, six people have died in the attempt.
它下面有很多水渠 Its underground is covered with canals-- flooding canals that
这些水渠将海水引入该地下体系 lead seawater into the system.
每往下挖一点 Each time there seemed to be a progress, underground floods in
海水便会进一步注入，使挖掘工作变得不可能 the canals would make further searches impossible.
因此我们得出结论：几百年前 So, this is what we know: many centuries ago, someone
有人在小岛下设计了这个巨大的水压系统 constructed a giant hydraulic system under this island.
海盗不可能有这智商 It couldn't have been pirates.
这要求专业的建筑学和水力学知识 It had to be someone with great expertise for architecture and hydraulics.
我们仍然无法得到埋在下面的东东 We still haven't been able to access whatever is down there because of the

这些寻宝砖家往其中一个井倒红色颜料 These treasure hunters poured red paint into one of these
而颜料把岛两边的 shafts, and not only did it come out on one side of the island,
海水都染红了 but also on the other side.
最终发现了三个水渠 Up to three shafts have been discovered.
这太神奇了 I mean, it's ingenious.
可谁—或什么精心设计了这样一个陷阱坑呢？ But who-- or what-- constructed this elaborately booby-trapped pit?
而可能更有意义的问题是： 下面埋的会是什么呢？ And, perhaps more importantly, what-- if anything-- lies hidden at the bottom?
有人认为可能是英格兰皇冠上的明珠 Some have speculated that it might be the crown jewels of
或是海贼王的宝藏，又或是北欧海盗的宝库 England, pirate treasure, Viking hoards and even the original
甚至有人认为是莎士比亚的原稿 manuscripts of Shakespeare.
而其中最大胆的猜测认为 But perhaps the most audacious theory of all is that the Money
这“烧钱坑”下埋的是世界上最重要的圣物之一 Pit is the hiding place for one of the most sacred objects in the world.
约柜及它里面的圣物被埋在橡树岛的可能性 There is a possibility that the Ark of the Covenant, with its contents, has
是存在的 been hidden on Oak Island.
约柜？ The Ark of the Covenant?
所有犹太教和基督教的最重要圣物？ The most sacred object in all of Judeo-Christianity?
那个里面装有希伯来人的上帝亲手 The gold chest that is supposed to contain the tablets on which
书写十诫的石板的金柜？ the Hebrew God wrote the Ten Commandments?
这样的宗教圣物为何会被埋于 Why would this religious relic be placed at the bottom of an
这个坐落在加拿大西北部的复杂的陷阱坑之下 elaborately booby-trapped pit in Northeastern Canada?
远古外星论者相信约柜之所以被隐藏起来 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the Ark may have been
是因为它所拥有的力量—来自外星球的力量 hidden because of the powers it held-- powers from out of this world.
远古外星人论认为，约柜里装有 According to the ancient astronaut hypothesis, the Ark of the Covenant housed
来自外星的设备，它是外星人在 an extraterrestrial device which was given to the Israelites

后来的约柜发生了什么，它现在又在何处呢？ mystery is what happened to the Ark and where it might be located today.
一个传说认为，在十字军东征期间 One legend says that it was taken during the Crusades by an
它被骁勇善战的像僧侣一般的圣殿骑士带走了 elite band of monk-like warriors known as the Knights Templar.
一个扯淡的说法是—它听起来像是编造的 The cover story-- and it feels like a cover story-- is that they were to
这些圣殿骑士在地中海岸前往巴勒斯坦的 耶路撒冷之路上担当朝圣者的保卫工作 protect pilgrims on the route between the coast and Jerusalem in the Holy Land.
但事实似乎不是这样 But they don't ever seem to have done any of that.
嗯，在成立后不久，圣殿骑士就占领了 Um, right soon after they were founded, they took possession
在耶路撒冷的圣殿山 of the Temple Mount, uh, in Jerusalem.
在（之后）80或90年间 And, uh, for the best part of 80 or 90 years, they devoted
他们在圣殿山上开始了一段 themselves to what looked like an archaeological expedition on
寻宝性的探险 the Temple Mount.
我十分肯定他们当时是在找约柜 And I'm pretty certain they were looking for the Ark of the Covenant.
据说圣殿骑士把约柜带到了苏格兰 The legend tells of the Knights taking the Ark to
他们在苏格兰同权势显赫的辛克拉尔家族结盟 Scotland, where they formed an alliance with the powerful Sinclair family.
一些历史学家认为，在13世纪英格兰入侵苏格兰时 Some historians believe William Sinclair may have taken the Ark
威廉姆.辛克莱尔将约柜带到了新斯科舍的橡树岛 to Oak Island in Nova Scotia in the 1400s to protect it from English invasion.
而辛克莱尔和他的手下便可能在这里建造了 Here, Sinclair and his men could have built what might be the
史上最难挖掘的地下储藏室—臭名昭著的“烧钱坑” most impenetrable vault ever made-- the notorious Money Pit.
可如果是这样，证据在哪儿呢？ But, if so, where is the evidence?
20世纪90年代，一些科学家把照相机放入 In the 1990s, some scientists were able to send cameras down into one of
其中的一个竖井 the shafts.
他们发现里面有些圆形管状物 There, they discovered strange objects that had a rounded, tubular shape.
它们的放射性碳测年值很不相同 Their C-14 values were diverse and their radiometric age
有长也有短 ranged from very old to futuristic.
而这怎么可能呢？！ Now, that is basically impossible.
可是，这种现象也有可能是由于一些辐射活动 However, there is some chance that that effect could be caused by some kind of
产生的 radioactivity.
这也是为什么我们怀疑（有人） That's why we suspect that a nuclear reactor may have been
在这个神奇的液压系统里放置了一个核反应堆 taken there and hidden inside this ingenious hydraulic system...
进而约柜便能安全地被保存在那里了 ...so that it would be kept safe forever.
如果在这钱之坑里真的挖到了约柜 What would it mean if the Ark of the Covenant really was discovered at the
这又意味着什么呢？ bottom of the Money Pit?
它是否能提供外星人干预（地球）的 Would it provide the proof of alien intervention-- the very
那远古外星论者垂涎已久的证据呢？ proof that ancient astronaut theorists have been waiting for?
如果约柜真的在坑底，你懂的 If the Ark of the Covenant is found at the bottom of the Money Pit, well...
就是这样了 story's over.
也许吧 Perhaps.
可人们又要问：为什么呢？ But an even greater question persists: why?
是否真的如远古外星论者所说的那样 Has mankind been helped by the intervention of beings from
人类一直在得到外星人的帮助？ other worlds, as ancient astronaut proponents contend?
而是否还有其它邪恶的目的呢？ Or was there a more ominous intention?
如果找到了约柜 Could the Ark, if discovered, be a sort of Pandora's box
它是否会像潘多拉盒一样 that, once opened, would reveal more about our origins than we
揭示出我们无法消化的关于人类起源的信息呢？ would ever want to know?
20世纪的工业革命让我们确信 As the 20th century dawned, the industrial revolution suggested that
对于人类而言，只有想不到的，没有做不到的 nothing conceived by man could be impossible.
我们可以在油绿的田间开车 We could now ride through the countryside in horseless carriages...
在大油轮上航海，还可以在空中逍遥地打飞机 ...sail the seas in huge ocean liners... fly through the sky in airships.
甚至往月球和火星发射火箭也不在话下 Even the idea of building rockets and flying them to the
我们当然有能力做得更多 Moon, Mars and beyond seemed well within our grasp.
那是一个人才辈出的时代：科幻小说家H.G.Wells It was the era of science fiction writers like H.G. Wells
爱因斯坦，特斯拉，爱迪生和福特 and inventors like Einstein, Tesla, Edison and Ford.
1896年，在美国西部很多地方报道了一系列的 In 1896, there were widespread reports of strange airships
UFO目击事件 hovering over various locations in the American West.
是巧合还是必然？ Coincidence or consequence?
当然UFO目击事件贯穿于我们的历史 There were sightings throughout history, and of course, there were a
19世纪也出现了很多 large number of sightings in the 19th century.
可从1896年以后似乎刮起了UFO目击风暴 But it wasn't until 1896 that there were waves of sightings.
在1896年至1897年间，好几千人在美国 Thousands of people in 1896 and 1897 in the United States saw
目击了幽灵般的飞船，它们来自哪里却不得而知 phantom airships, the origin of which was never explained.
这些目击事件被记录了下来，报纸上也纷纷报道 These reports were catalogued, discussed in newspapers.
1986年之后的三年间出现了（特别多的）目击事件 There were sightings in 1896, 1897, 1898.
实际上我们从报纸上可以了解到 And in fact, we kind of know, from newspaper reports from the
（美国）西南部的人们看见了很多带翼的飞船 Southwest, that people were seeing craft with wings.
而莱特兄弟是在1903年才发明飞机的 And the Wright Brothers didn't fly an airplane until 1903.
那这些飞船从何而来？ So what were these craft?
一方面，人们在19世纪已经可以乘坐热气球 Well, on the one hand, people were flying balloons in the 19th century.
而热气球可不是什么高科技 So balloons were not high technology.
那汽油发动的船型热气球（飞艇） What was high technology back then was affixing a gasoline
才叫高科技 engine to the gondola of a balloon.
对于这一系列的UFO之谜，我的猜测是： That whole airship mystery-- my guess is that some
其中的一些是由人操纵的“（热气球）飞艇” of those were just dirigibles that people were flying around.
另一方面，我们也发现，那个时期 On the other hand, during that time, we also find reports of
出现过一些快得不可能是飞艇的飞船 objects that moved really too quickly to be dirigibles.
而且一些飞船还发光 And some were maybe too shiny really to be the types of
那时制造的热气球可没这功能 balloons that they were making at that time.
1890年之后，飞艇的广泛使用 The prevalence of these balloons powered by gasoline engines flying around
可能使得人们在这个世纪交替期 in the late 1890s in the turn of the century probably opened
开始重新思考 up people's minds to the possibility that there could be
外星飞船存在的可能性 literally unidentified flying objects.
也就是说，人们开始关注外星人了 People began, to put it bluntly, looking up.
因此也可以说现代UFO史就开始于 So it could be said that modern UFO history began with these
19世纪90年代的这些神秘飞船的目击事件 mysterious airships of the 1890s.
我们当然可以认为这些被看见的飞船 It certainly seems possible, if we believe that the airship sightings were
就是外星飞船， sightings of extraterrestrial spaceships, that perhaps the
可能当我们的科技取得如此快速进步的时候 aliens were interested in human activity at the time because of
外星人便对人类的活动产生兴趣了 the rapid increases being made in technology.
一些人认为外星人对人类活动的干预 Some people have suggested that aliens have been interfering with the lives of
已经持续了几千年 human beings for thousands of years.
由于一直在地球上的外星人 And because they were always here at significant points in
他们在人类历史的一些关键期向我们引进先进的技术 human history, they introduced various kinds of technologies
我们的文明才能跨越式地发展 to spur development along a certain line.
一些人认为外星人曾在几个世纪里持续来访地球 Could the same alien presence that some believe had been visiting the
人类通过跨越发展步入了现代文明 Earth for centuries have been responsible for inspiring our
而这同外星人的到来有联系吗？ great leap into the modern age?
又或者，这些不断增加的 Or could the increased close encounters with UFOs-- which
可能会在下个世纪里持续下去的外星人接触事件 would persist through the next century-- be a sign that we
是向我们发出的暗示我们陷入危险过深的信号吗？ were in danger of going too far?
一个比较普遍的看法是，当我们取得技术进步时 A very common idea that we have today is that, as we develop technologically,
我们将会看见越来越多的UFO we're going to see an increase in UFO phenomena-- that UFOs are
因为他们实际上在监视我们 basically monitoring us.
最近几十年，大量UFO出现在我们的空军基地 Decades ago, we saw a lot of UFO activity around air bases,
也出现在我们的两弹基地，它们尾随我们的飞机 around atomic bases and also UFOs following airplanes and
或许也跟踪我们的航天飞机 maybe following our aircraft.
我肯定随着我们文明的不断进步 I would say that certainly, as we keep developing, we will
我们将会继续看到这些监视性的UFO continue to see that monitoring aspect to the UFOs.
特别是随着我们航天技术的发展 Especially as we continue going to space, we're going to
我们定能接触到更多的UFO活动 continue seeing more UFO activity.
是福是祸可就难说了 Whether it's for our benefit or not, that's hard to say.
我们人类的历史—是否我们自己就是源自 Our history, the history of human beings on planet Earth-- whether we
其它星球的外星人，或者如阿努亚齐人认为的 ourselves are the aliens seeded from another planet or that
外星人创造了我们— the aliens created us, as the stories of the Anunnaki say--
不管怎样 regardless, it may be that human beings are being directed
人类可能正在走向终结 toward a certain end.
迈入20世纪后，人类已经有能力将火箭 In the 20th century, the inhabitants of planet Earth were capable of
送入太空并登上月球 blasting off and touching the stars.
我们也获得了核能技术 We were also capable of harnessing the atom... >> Fire.
并用它造成最惨绝人寰的灾难 ...and using it to inflict the deadliest of devastations.
我们可以将卫星送上月球和火星的轨道 We would send satellites into orbit, land on the Moon and reach Mars.
可我们会发现什么呢？ But what would we find?
一个空洞的宇宙吗？ A barren, empty universe of dead planets or something else?
20世纪60年代，主流科学家们已经开始探讨 In the 1960s, mainstream scientists were already exploring the question
关于外星人是否存在的问题 of whether or not we're alone in the universe.
而只有很少部分科学家相信 And there was only a handful of scientists who actually
我们并不孤单，宇宙中存在其它文明 proposed the idea that, yes, there are other civilizations out there.
经过近50年的巨大转变 Now fast-forward 50 years.
现在你很难找到哪个砖家会说 You'd be very hard-pressed to find any scientist today saying
我们是宇宙中唯一的智慧生命 that we're alone in the universe.
21世纪我们即将经历的是 What we're coming up to now, in the 21st century, is
对我们自身的重新定位 going to be a redefinition.
在（了解）飞来飞去的外星人后 Our entire history may have to be revised, in the context of
我们人类的历史可能需要重新修订 nonhuman intelligences coming and going.
我们是这伟大宇宙的一部分 And what else is out there in this incredible universe of
那（出现在）浩瀚无穷的太空中的是什么呢？ which we humans are a part?
也许，太空时代的来临是一种标志 Perhaps the dawn of the space age was a signal to whatever or whoever was out
它标志着在经历了只能以壁画、庙宇、测天象 there that, after centuries of writing on cave walls, building
的原始方式对外星人活动进行记录的数个世纪后 temples and mapping the skies, the inhabitants of planet Earth
人类终于做好了迎接外星人归来的准备 were at last ready. Ready for their return.
