At 6:03 A.
M.
, hours before John Paul's funeral, An unidentified flying object is filmed by a security camera Observing St.
Peter's basilica.
Could this mysterious object be evidence Of a connection between the Vatican and alien life, A connection that theorists and historians believe Has existed since the creation of the church? The possibility that this craft Came to pay its respects to the Pope and his people Is more likely than you think.
Among the most secret of secrets in the catholic church Is there a belief in extraterrestrials? Narrator: Torun, Poland, 1543.
Nicolaus copernicus marks the beginning of modern astronomy, Showing that earth revolves around the sun And not the other way around.
Five years later, Giordano Bruno is born in naples, Southern Italy.
Bruno takes the theories of copernicus further By suggesting that science dictates life on other planets.
Bruno's theory about the cosmos said that the people of earth Were not the only people in our universe.
That didn't sit too well with the church.
Narrator: In 1600, Bruno is found guilty of heresy And burned at the stake.
He is the first person in history To be executed by the catholic church For beliefs that include The possibility of extraterrestrials.
Was Bruno sacrificed to cover up a secret The church has allegedly hidden for the past 1,500 years? That church believed that we, as humans, God made us the center of everything, And we were just kind of the be all and end all.
But the reality was that it was much bigger.
There was much more out there.
Narrator: In fact, possible ties Between the catholic faith and alien forms Are nearly as old as the religion itself.
Strange looking craft begin to appear in Christian art As early as the 1400s.
Quite frequently, artists would put symbols in the sky, But in a couple of cases, They kind of look like flying saucers.
One painting the Madonna with San giovannino Depicts the lady Madonna in the foreground And San giovannino in the background Pointing up to the sky, And he sees a craft that is clearly visible in the painting.
In the middle ages and through the renaissance, They would take events from the present And depict them in the paintings.
These were real things that people saw in the sky.
Greenewald: In the "miracle of the snow," You have a painting of Jesus and Mary above, And below, it appears to be what could be described As a fleet of ufos or flying saucers directly below them.
Narrator: "the baptism of Christ," Painted in 1710, Shows what looks like a flying saucer Beaming down toward Jesus.
"the crucifixion" features a pair of what look like ufos.
Are the objects captured in these works of art Records of religious devotion Or evidence of the church's connection to spacecraft And perhaps even creatures from another world? Greenewald: Now, I'm sorry.
That's not a winged angel or a depiction of God.
What was that 500 years ago? We don't know.
Narrator: The discs seen throughout the history of Christian art Are an identical match To recordings and reports of modern day ufos.
Were these artists adding images they had seen Or heard about from eyewitnesses? And when ufos are so clearly seen throughout history, Why has the church denied their presence? Is the Vatican truly hiding knowledge of alien life, And have we only just now discovered it? Bassett: It's very likely that some of the religious experiences That have been discussed and written about for centuries Were, in fact, extraterrestrial in nature.
Narrator: Coming up next, the Vatican investigates One of the largest mass ufo sightings of all time And breaks their silence on the extraterrestrial truth After reports that alien remains Were allegedly found buried right under the church.
