Authors Aaron Judkins and Michael McDaniel talked about their new book, Alien Agenda, and how it relates to forbidden archaeology, UFOs, the Nephilim, and the coming of the Antichrist. Detailing the origins of his research, Judkins, an archaeologist, explained that he was intrigued by the preponderance of winged serpents and discs depicted by ancient cultures throughout the world. McDaniel, a theologian, traced his interest to meeting an alleged abductee and a subsequent investigation of the Bible where he found references to the UFO phenomenon. Both authors contended that UFOs are malevolent, with Judkins suggesting that the elusive nature of the phenomenon portends a sinister agenda and McDaniel connecting them to a long term plan hatched by Satan.

Regarding what may be within the UFOs, McDaniel proposed a unique origin for the ETs seen by those who claim to have experienced contact. Noting that the massive Nephilim of ancient times were said to be the product of humans and fallen angels, he put forward that ETs are of a similar nature. In light of their diminutive size and bizarre physical features, McDaniel said, "I'm looking an another hybrid, but instead of angel-man, it would be angel-animal." Judkins spoke to how the historical record gives credence to the existence of the ancient Nephilim, noting that cultures throughout history have described giants in their midst and, in modern times, massive human bones have been unearthed, particularly in the Middle East.

According to McDaniel, UFOs are ultimately being used to acclimate the human race to accepting the arrival of an interstellar "visitor," who will actually be the Antichrist . This being, he said, will look and act human, but people will regard him as an ET and he will become a powerful world leader. "He's actually going to declare himself to be God," McDaniel warned, "and the majority of the world will believe that." On the plausibility of such a scenario unfolding, Judkins pointed to the long history of mankind worshipping a variety of Gods, "through occultic means," as a way of connecting with a higher power. Additionally, he surmised that the distress of the planet and the fractured nature of the world's nations would facilitate humans turning to an outside source to solve the world's problems.

Easter Island Statues

During the first hour, anthropologist Terry Hunt discussed how the Easter Island statues were created and moved. "What we see is that we might have had some pretty skilled engineers," he said, regarding the creators of the infamously mysterious monuments. To that end, Hunt revealed that the statues appeared to be "designed for movement in a vertical position." He cited his own experiment where 18 people were used to make an Easter Island statue replica, which stood 10 feet high and weighed 5 tons, 'walk' via a series of rocking movements using ropes. The process proved to be so easy that the group 'walked' the statue over 100 yards in 40 minutes, including a trip uphill. Video of Hunt's 'walking' experiment can be seen here.
