Ancient Aliens — Season 18

In 2021, the United States government broke a 70-year precedent of denying UFOs and released a groundbreaking report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

It is one of the greatest mysteries of the prehistoric world: why did people on nearly every continent erect giant standing stones?

Some of the world's most iconic sacred temples were built atop of the ruins of far older structures and far more ancient. What compelled early humans to rebuild in the same places again and again? Do these locations hold special power? And could they be points of ancient alien contact?

Some 2,600 years ago, the most sacred relic of the ancient world suddenly disappeared from history: The Ark of the Covenant.

In the traditions of native peoples across North America are stories of the Star Ancestors--powerful beings who descended to Earth in the distant past and are sometimes present even today.

Since 2017, the Navy has been releasing photos and videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena--and Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest the incredible images are nearly identical to accounts from centuries ago. Could flying pyramids. bell-shaped craft and cylindrical objects represent alien craft that have been roaming Earth's skies for thousands of years?

Millions of people around the world have reported encountering shadowy entities who instill fear, shortness of breath. and even paralysis. Is it possible that the so-called "Shadow People" are more than mere figments of the imagination? Could they be visitors from other worlds - or even other dimensions?

Throughout the ancient world, tales were told of fire-breathing dragons. Though fearsome, they were often worshipped as the bringers of great knowledge and credited as the founders of civilization. Is it possible that what our ancestors described as winged monsters descending from the sky were visitors from other worlds?

Today, more people than ever before believe that Unidentified Flying Objects are of alien origin. But if extraterrestrials have come to Earth from light-years away, could they be capable of bending both time and space?
