This show looks into New York's Hudson Valley; Sedona, Arizona; and
Britain's Stonehenge, to determine what makes them purported UFO
hotspots.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire,
England, about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km)
north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world,
Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within
earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic
and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial
mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was built anywhere from 3000 BC
to 2000 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first stones
were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, whilst another theory suggests
that bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC.
The
surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the
earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The
site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World
Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a
national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is
owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the
surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
Archaeological
evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates
that Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest
beginnings.[8] The dating of cremated remains found on the site indicate
that deposits contain human bone from as early as 3000 BC, when the
ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for
at least another 500 years. The site is a place of religious
significance and pilgrimage in Neo-Druidry.
