[Music]


00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.630
what if our closest neighbor the moon


00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.710
isn't as silent and empty as we've


00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:28.029
always thought what if there are signs


00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.150
of life hidden structures and Technology


00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.750
right there visible only to those who


00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:35.950
know where to look well today we're


00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.950
going to explore the story of a man who


00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.430
claimed he was one of those rare people


00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:42.750
a man who saw the unimaginable On the


00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:45.510
Dark Side of the Moon so what if this


00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.890
answer changes everything we know


00:00:49.900 --> 00:01:20.069
[Music]


00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.870
welcome back to Divergent history


00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:24.469
everyone I'm Ralph here to take you on a


00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:26.910
journey that blends Mystery Science and


00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.190
a bit of the unbelievable today we're


00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.710
diving into one of of the strangest


00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:32.990
stories you'll ever hear Engle Swan's


00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.149
alleged encounters with alien bases on


00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.190
the moon and as always we have wend here


00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:39.990
to keep us grounded and maybe add his


00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.749
own twist on things and skepticism oh


00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:45.069
great so we're doing the alien Moonbase


00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.789
thing huh just when I thought we were


00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.069
going to have a quiet episode not today


00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:50.950
wendo we're going straight into the


00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:53.069
heart of one of the most bizarre stories


00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.630
out there secret government projects


00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.149
alien encounters and Eerie sightings on


00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.510
The Far Side of the Moon ready or not


00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:04.510
here we


00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:07.630
go before we dive into Swan's chilling


00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.910
experiences it's important to understand


00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:12.790
the man himself Engle Swan wasn't just a


00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.990
self-proclaimed psychic he was a figure


00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.990
of intrigue long before he became


00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.990
involved with government projects


00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.309
growing up his family noticed peculiar


00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.509
abilities he seemed to sense things


00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:25.830
others couldn't and his intuition was


00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.470
uncanny Swan later volunteered for


00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:30.550
experiments that tested the his psychic


00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.990
abilities focusing on whether the human


00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.790
mind could influence physical objects


00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.949
one of the most unsettling accounts came


00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:39.949
during a trial where he was asked to


00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:43.030
view inside a sealed box Swan claimed


00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:45.110
the light inside was burnt out when the


00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.309
researchers checked they found he was


00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.550
right these early successes hinted at


00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.550
something extraordinary and attracted


00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.190
the attention of powerful organizations


00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:57.110
so he predicted a broken light bulb not


00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.550
exactly moon bases is it hold on to that


00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.390
sketch skepticism wend hold on Swan's


00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.630
talents were just getting started and


00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:06.789
soon his abilities would go from


00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:09.430
predicting light bulbs to uncovering


00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:14.869
other worldly


00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.509
Mysteries Swan was known for his ability


00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:19.670
to remote view a technique that


00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.030
supposedly allowed him to see things in


00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:24.229
distant locations without physically


00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:26.110
being there now I have a whole other


00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.110
video on this topic that you can find in


00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.390
the comment section below the government


00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.910
was so intrigued by Swan's abilities


00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:34.910
that they recruited him for a secret


00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:37.429
project called project Stargate project


00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.789
Stargate for those of you unfamiliar was


00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:41.990
an actual government program designed to


00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.750
test the limits of the human mind remote


00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:47.190
viewers like swan were tasked with


00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:50.270
mentally exploring far off places not


00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.750
just on Earth but even Beyond imagine


00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:54.670
being asked to project your mind to


00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.190
distant planets or other dimensions to


00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:59.990
see if you could tap into hidden secrets


00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.750
and for Swan this wasn't just


00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:03.390
theoretical it was something he


00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.429
experienced firsthand because of course


00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.429
if you need a psychic to scout Mars or


00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.509
Jupiter why not throw government money


00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:13.270
at it right exactly Wendell and that's


00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.429
where the story takes a bizarre twist


00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.229
during one of his assignments Swan was


00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:20.870
tasked with something even more daring


00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.230
observing the


00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.909
moon now before we get to the moon we


00:04:28.919 --> 00:04:30.830
need to talk about Swan's experience


00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:33.469
remote viewing Jupiter first when Swan


00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:35.670
first heard about this assignment he


00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.469
hesitated he didn't want to view


00:04:37.479 --> 00:04:39.390
something that couldn't be verified and


00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:41.909
outer space was far from easy to confirm


00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:43.550
but the researchers assured him that


00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.469
NASA's Pioneer probe was on its way to


00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:49.189
Jupiter so any findings he reported


00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.070
could potentially be validated in a


00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:53.430
remarkable session Swan described


00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:54.909
details about Jupiter that were


00:04:54.919 --> 00:04:57.150
confirmed years later he mentioned a


00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.670
hydrogen Rich atmosphere swirling storms


00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.310
infrared radiation and strangely enough


00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:05.510
a faint ring around Jupiter that wasn't


00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:08.870
visible from Earth this was all in 1973


00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:10.230
it wasn't until


00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.150
1979 when the arrival of the Voyager


00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.790
probes that scientists confirmed the


00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.510
Jupiter did indeed have a faint ring


00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:20.629
just as Swan had seen all right that's


00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.550
impressive but predicting storms and


00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.870
hydrogen atmospheres is one thing did he


00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:26.830
really see structures on the moon that's


00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:29.070
exactly where we're headed next wend


00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:30.830
because after Jupiter his next


00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:32.790
assignment took him to an even stranger


00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.550
Place The Far Side of the


00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.790
Moon Engle Swan's moon mission came


00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.909
about when he was approached by a man he


00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:47.390
referred to as Mr Axel Rod this wasn't


00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:50.189
just any client Axel Rod was a shadowy


00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.749
figure someone with deep connections to


00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.870
intelligence circles and he had an


00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:57.390
unusual request he wanted Swan to use


00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.670
his remote viewing abilities to look at


00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.189
at specific coordinates on the moon Swan


00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.029
was escorted by the twins two silent men


00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:07.150
who accompanied him on various secret


00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.830
missions these men never spoke unless


00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:12.270
necessary never explained the full scope


00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:14.790
of the mission and never let Swan forget


00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.950
that he was dealing with forces far


00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:19.550
beyond his control once Swan began his


00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.790
session he found himself mentally


00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.189
transported to the lunar surface at


00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.070
first it was what you'd expect dust


00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:30.710
rocks vast craters barren Landscapes but


00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.189
soon he encountered something he


00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.550
couldn't explain he described tracks


00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.629
like tire marks and structures that


00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.510
resembled warehouses domes and even


00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:42.950
Towers these were not natural formations


00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:44.350
right so you're telling me there's some


00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.390
sort of lunar construction project


00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:48.510
happening on The Far Side of the Moon I


00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:50.629
mean are they installing solar panels


00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.830
too I get it wend it sounds wild but


00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:55.749
according to Swan these weren't just


00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.350
rocks or Illusions he saw what looked


00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:04.270
like a fully functioning


00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:06.950
base Swan's descriptions became even


00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:09.589
stranger he recounted seeing lights


00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:11.550
artificial lights glowing in various


00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.790
colors something Impossible on a moon


00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.110
with no atmosphere to diffuse lights he


00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.029
described domes with Windows even fog


00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:21.110
inside the structures and most shocking


00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.749
of all figures he could only describe as


00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.790
humanoid Swan reported that these beings


00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.350
seem to be working going about tasks as


00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.950
if as if they were busy maintaining or


00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:32.950
building these structures but then


00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:35.070
something unsettling happened as he got


00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:37.309
closer Swan realized they could sense


00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.790
him the beings turned looking directly


00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.589
at him as though they knew they were


00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:43.869
being watched he described the sudden


00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.469
feeling of panic and his Handler axle


00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:49.189
Rod urged him to pull back Swan came out


00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.469
of the session shaken convinced that he


00:07:51.479 --> 00:07:54.469
had stumbled onto something monumento an


00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:01.790
extraterrestrial presence on our moon


00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.189
after the moon mission Swan's life took


00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.710
another strange turn axod and the twins


00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.749
seemed to have other plans for him they


00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.790
warned him to keep a low profile and


00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.189
stay alert but Swan couldn't shake the


00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.149
feeling that he was now part of a much


00:08:15.159 --> 00:08:17.670
larger Story one that involved forces


00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.070
far beyond his understanding Swan


00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:22.270
recounted an eerie encounter he had in a


00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:25.070
supermarket when he noticed a striking


00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:27.430
woman who gave off a strange almost


00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:30.110
magnetic energy he felt that that same


00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.389
psychic pool he'd experienced during his


00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.230
remote viewing sessions as he approached


00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.990
he had a sudden flash almost an instinct


00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.750
that she was not human Swan later shared


00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:43.230
this experience with Axel Rod who urged


00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.750
him to avoid this woman at all costs


00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:49.030
saying she was very dangerous it was as


00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:51.790
if Axelrod knew of other beings Among Us


00:08:51.800 --> 00:08:53.949
blending into society watching our


00:08:53.959 --> 00:08:56.829
movements so aliens just casually


00:08:56.839 --> 00:08:58.790
grocery shopping now I'm not sure if


00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:00.590
this story is freaky or just plain


00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.470
strange all strange for sure but if Swan


00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.949
is right it suggests there may be alien


00:09:05.959 --> 00:09:08.550
presences not just on the moon but here


00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:14.949
on Earth too hiding in plain


00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:18.150
sight sometime later Swan was taken on


00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:19.949
another mission with Axel rod and the


00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:22.069
twins they flew North to a remote


00:09:22.079 --> 00:09:24.630
location where Swan claims he witnessed


00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:27.630
an otherworldly event near a lake he saw


00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:29.829
a triangular craft emerging from the


00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:32.710
water emitting an eerie glow and strange


00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.470
humming sounds Swan watched as the craft


00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.870
performed Maneuvers that seemed


00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:39.269
impossible by Earthly standards this


00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.670
wasn't just a UFO sighting Swan


00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:43.870
described seeing beams of light extend


00:09:43.880 --> 00:09:46.269
from the craft almost as if it were


00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.630
scanning the area he even claimed to see


00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:51.630
the craft draw water up from the lake a


00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:53.790
scene he could only describe as a


00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:57.150
reverse waterfall Swan later speculated


00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:59.030
that this craft was conducting some type


00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:02.430
of resupply operation for bases located


00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:08.230
well perhaps on the


00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.550
moon Swan's story is wild but he's not


00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:13.829
the only one to suggest there might be


00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:15.790
something lurking on the moon throughout


00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:19.150
the years various researchers astronauts


00:10:19.160 --> 00:10:21.630
and conspiracy theorists have noted


00:10:21.640 --> 00:10:24.190
anomalies in photos and radio signals


00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.750
coming from the moon for instance some


00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:28.949
Apollo Astronauts reported hearing


00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:31.590
strange space music while orbiting The


00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.430
Far Side of the Moon NASA of course


00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.750
rushed it off as interference but it


00:10:36.760 --> 00:10:39.190
left the astronauts unsettled photos


00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.310
from the lunar reconnaissance Orbiter


00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.670
have also shown unusual structure some


00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:46.629
that resemble spires towers and even


00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.670
what look like underground entrances


00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:50.470
although NASA attributes these to


00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.269
Natural formations many argue they're


00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.150
simply too geometric to be natural so


00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:58.230
the moon might just be a giant Cosmic


00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.269
construction site that we're totally in


00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.870
the dark about maybe Wendell and if


00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.509
swans encounters were any indication


00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.350
these Builders might not have our best


00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.430
interest at


00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.870
heart Swan's book titled penetration


00:11:15.880 --> 00:11:18.310
dives into even more strange phenomena


00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.949
he recounts sensations of being watched


00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:23.710
sudden moments of unexplained cold and


00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.710
seeing shadowy figures that seem to move


00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.350
independently of his own thoughts he


00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.150
also claimed that the government knew


00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:33.550
far more about extraterrestrial life


00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:35.269
than it led on and that there were


00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.750
active attempts to monitor understand


00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:40.069
and perhaps even communicate with these


00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:43.030
alien presences according to Swan


00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:45.269
penetration was not just a story about


00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.430
remote viewing but about the boundaries


00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.910
of human perception and the limits of


00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:52.110
what we're allowed to know it raises


00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:53.870
questions about how much the government


00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:55.829
really knows and what it's been kept


00:11:55.839 --> 00:12:01.629
from us


00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.269
so what if there really are alien bases


00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.710
on the moon Swan's story leaves us with


00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.990
more questions that answers and each


00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.389
strange encounter he describes only


00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.590
deepens the mystery whether you believe


00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.269
Swan or not his experiences serve as a


00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.310
reminder that there's still so much we


00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.990
don't understand perhaps the moon our


00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.629
closest Cosmic neighbor holds secrets


00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.670
that are waiting to be uncovered and if


00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:27.470
you ever see a striking stranger in the


00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.470
grocery store maybe just to the produce


00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.750
aisle good advice wend great advice


00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:35.389
thanks for joining us on this journey


00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.470
everyone don't forget to subscribe leave


00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.150
a comment and share your thoughts


00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:40.790
because those small gestures really do


00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.550
make a difference for small channels


00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:44.389
like mine now let us know in the


00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.430
comments what do you think are there


00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.710
alien bases on the moon or is it all


00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.710
just a fantastic story until next time


00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.069
keep questioning keep exploring and know


00:12:54.079 --> 00:12:56.350
that you are truly appreciated have a
