Nazi Crystal Skulls, UFOs & Eurasian Lakes

Expert in anomalous phenomena, Paul Stonehill discussed his latest research into the Nazi hunt for crystal skulls in South America, including his knowledge of UFO research by the Soviets during the Cold War and the mysterious giants that inhabit Eurasian lakes.

Stonehill expressed his displeasure with the inaccuracy of the most recent Indiana Jones film, saying that the Soviets were never interested in the crystal skulls. It was Hitler and the Nazis who led expeditions in 1943 to find them; Hitler's reason for wanting the skulls was to use them to control people, he added.

The results of these studies demonstrated that those examined were manufactured in the mid-19th century or later, almost certainly in Europe.
