But might these strange creatures that have inhabited Earth for hundreds of millions of years provide a link to extraterrestrial beings? 但这些寄居在地球亿万年奇怪的动物，难道也与外星人有关？ 【觉醒字幕组】远古外星人第6季：外星人和昆虫视频翻译
DAVID CHILDRESS: The idea that insect aliens are coming here to this planet, 昆虫外星人来到这颗行星与人类互动的说法
interacting with humans, may well be based on something real. 可能建立于一些真实的事件
NARRATOR: Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 世界上数百万人相信，我们在古代被外星人造访
What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 如果是真的会怎样？外星人真的帮助塑造了人类的历史？
And if so is there a connection between aliens and insects? 如果这样，外星人与昆虫之间必然有着某种联系
NARRATOR: The Nile Delta, Egypt. A small, centimeters-wide trail is cut in the desert floor by the rolling cocoon of a dung beetle. 埃及尼罗河三角洲。很小的有数厘米宽的甲虫卵囊弯弯曲曲地划开了沙漠地面
This strange-looking two-inch long insect, 这个相貌奇怪的二英吋长的昆虫
also called a scarab, uses the dung as both a source of nourishment and a place for storing its eggs. 叫圣甲虫，以粪为食，也把卵产在其中
It will roll the ball in a straight line despite all obstacles, 尽管有障碍，但它还是把粪直线推成球状
and is the only insect on Earth known to navigate by following the light of the Milky Way galaxy. 这是地球上惟一的被银河系的光驾驭的昆虫
Biologists just made this discovery in 2013... 生物学家2013年发现了这个秘密
but 5,000 years ago, with presumably no knowledge of its unique connection to the stars, 但在5000年前，人们可能根本不知道这个秘密，它独一无二地关系着星辰
the ancient Egyptians held the scarab as a sacred symbol, representing a link to the gods. 古代埃及人把圣甲虫当作神圣的符号—与诸神的连接
JONATHAN YOUNG: Interesting that a great civilization could pay so much attention to a little bug, 感兴趣的是，伟大的文明却对如此渺小的虫类如此的关注
but it appears constantly throughout Egyptian temples and hieroglyphics.It's a very frequent image. 这个常见的形象在埃及庙宇和象形文字中一再出现
NARRATOR: At the Temple of Karnak, overlooking the Sacred Lake where the pharaohs received their coronation, 在卡纳克神庙中，远眺圣湖，法老接受他的加冕
a giant scarab beetle stands watch, representing the Egyptian god Khepri. 一个巨大的圣甲虫在站着观望，它代表了埃及的神凯布利
KRITSKY: The Egyptians saw the Sun moving across the sky during the day. 埃及人白天看着太阳划过天空
Also, around the desert sands, you'd see beetles moving balls of dung. 同样也看着沙漠的沙，圣甲虫正在造粪球
And so the Egyptians thought that the force that moved the Sun across the sky was a giant scarab beetle god, Khepri. 埃及人认为太阳移动的力量源于他们巨大的圣甲虫神—凯布利
GRAHAM PHILLIPS: They believe that the Sun was what is known as the eye of Ra, which was Ra's chariot or his flying machine. 他们相信太阳是RA之眼，也是RA的战车或飞行的机器
And the thing that moved it, they believed, was the scarab- headed god, Khepri, and the scarab represented Khepri, 那个让太阳移动的东西，就是他们长着圣甲虫脑袋的神凯布利，圣甲虫就是凯布利
the pilot, if you like, of Ra's Sun ship or barge. 如果你喜欢，可以称他为RA的太阳船或太阳艇的飞行员
He was basically a pilot to the gods. 他本来就是通往诸神的飞行者
NARRATOR: But could there be another explanation for why the Egyptians regarded Khepri as a pilot? 为什么埃及人把凯布利当成飞行员，还有别的解释么？
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the representation of Khepri as a scarab 远古外星人理论学者认为，把圣甲虫当作凯布利的代表
and sometimes as a human with a scarab head... 有时也是虫头人身
may have been inspired by actual contact the Egyptians had with an otherworldly being. 这种想法可能受到切实接触他世界存有的启发
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: One has to wonder whether or not these beings actually existed, 有一点需要说明，这些存有是否真实存在过？
because the ancient Egyptians were incredibly proud in carving their history into countless of walls. 因为古埃及人非常非常骄傲于把他们的历史雕刻在数不清的墙面上
And according to the ancient astronaut theory, we all came about through a deliberate mutation of our genes. 按照远古外星人理论，我们来源于有意的基因突变
And so it is entirely possible, in my opinion, 在我看来，这完全有可能
that some of those creatures that we see depicted in reliefs and in carvings might have actually exted in the past. 有一些浮雕中或雕刻品中的动物可能在过去确实存在过
NARRATOR: Is it possible the ancient Egyptians could have encountered alien beings that had an insect-like appearance? 有没有可能，古埃及人遇到了外观象昆虫的外星存有？
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes... 远古外星人理论学者认为是的
and as further evidence, point to the fact that the Egyptians' obsession with the scarab also extended to their funerary rituals. 更多的证据，指向了埃及人对圣甲虫的迷恋，甚至扩展到了他们的葬礼中
The Valley of the Kings, Egypt. November, 1922. 1922年11月，埃及帝王谷
Archaeologist Howard Carter discovers the tomb of King Tutankhamen. 考古学家Howard Carter发现了图坦卡蒙王的墓穴
Among the treasure trove of artifacts found inside is the young pharaoh's breastplate, 在这些史前器物无主的珍宝中，这位年轻法老的护胸甲
which features a scarab as the centerpiece. 把圣甲虫当作了它的中心饰品
The scarab is made of a yellow silica glass stone procured from the Sahara, 圣甲虫用产于撒哈拉沙漠的黄色石英玻璃石制成
originally formed 28 million years ago when the sand was superheated by a comet strike. 生成于2.8亿年前，那里沙子由于彗星的撞击灼热融化
But why would the ancient Egyptians place a scarab... 但为什么古埃及人会把这个圣甲虫
and one sculpted from material produced by a cosmic event... at the center of their pharaoh's funerary breastplate? 和一个用宇宙事故材料做成的圣甲虫做在他们法老陪葬品护胸甲的中心位置？
Curiously, scarabs always played an integral role in the Egyptians' mummification process, 非常好奇的是，圣甲虫在埃及木乃伊制作过程中永远扮演着一个完整的角色
often included during the wrapping of the body. 通常包括在尸身的包裹过程中
SABINA MAGLIOCCO: In between those wrappings, the Egyptians put a number of charms, 在包裹过程中，埃及人会把一系列的护身符置入其中
which served not just a preservation function, but a magical function. 它不仅有保存功能，还有着神奇魔法功能
KRITSKY: There was a heart scarab, which was placed on the body. 有一个圣甲虫放在了身体上
We also find other scarabs, sometimes knitted into the linen of the deceased. 我们也发现过其他圣甲虫，有时被编织进死者的亚麻布上
The scarab was thought to be critical for the resurrection, 圣甲虫被视作复活之匙
because of its power and necessity for it to be present when the Sun rose in the morning. 在太阳升起时，它有力量和必要性
BARA: The idea was, is that the soul or even the body of the person that had departed was carried by scarab beetles along the path to the next life, 他们这样想，灵魂或者一个人体离去后，会被圣甲虫护送到下一次生命的旅途上
to the next dimension. 到达另一个次元
It's almost as if the scarab beetle was some kind of device, 圣甲虫好像成了某类装置
not an insect, but a device that actually allows travel from one place to another. 而不是虫子了，但这个装置可以完成从一地到另一地的旅程
WILLIAM HENRY: Where did the Egyptians get the idea of resurrection and this idea that we could be reborn as star beings? 埃及人什么时候产生了复活的想法，以及我们可以再生为宇宙人？
It seems as if they were given this idea by Khepri. 看起来好像是凯布利给他们传授的
NARRATOR: Could the inclusion of scarab-shaped objects in the mummification process have been inspired by an actual encounter with the scarab god Khepri? 在木乃伊化过程中昆虫形的物体，真的是他们遇到圣甲虫神凯布利后受到的启发么？
To some ancient astronaut theorists, 对一些远古外星人理论学者来说
it's not just the presence of scarabs that suggests the Egyptians made a connection between insects and the afterlife... 不仅是圣甲虫的出现使埃及人产生了昆虫与人类下一世的连接
they say the mummification process also mimics insect metamorphosis itself. 他们还认为木乃伊化过程中同样也是模仿虫子变异的过程
BARA: The similarities between mummification 木乃伊化和昆虫作茧有着相似之处
and the cocooning process that a caterpillar goes through before it becomes a moth are really quite incredible. 毛虫在变成蛾子前需要经历这一关，它是非常惊人的
I think what the Egyptians were trying to do is actually cocoon the human being so that when he emerged into the next life at the next level up, 我认为埃及人想做的是把人体做成茧的样子，在下一个层面出现在他的下一世中
he would be transformed into something greater, more powerful, and epically more beautiful. 他会变得更加强悍有力，特别美丽
DAVID WILCOCK: This does mimic, in nature, what we would see with a pupa or a chrysalis, 这确实是模仿，从本质来说，我们是如何看待蛹或蝶蛹的
in which the caterpillar actually creates a hard outer shell around itself, 虫子在其中需要制作一个非常坚硬的外壳包裹着它
and the material of the caterpillar's body actually turns into a broth before it reconstitutes into what ultimately emerges as a butterfly. 毛虫身体在重组后化蝶前真的变成了肉汤
NARRATOR: While most people associate metamorphosis with a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly... 当很多人看到毛虫变蝴蝶、变圣甲虫时
beetles, like the scarab, undergo a complete metamorphosis as well. 肯定也会想到它们要忍受完全的变异过程
The hatched larva inside the ball of dung emerges fully developed and capable of flight. 在粪球中孵化出充分发育并能够飞行的幼体
To the ancient Egyptians, it seemed the sacred scarab had miraculously regenerated inside its cocoon. 对古埃及人来说，看起来好像圣甲虫在它的茧中有着奇异的再生能力
PHILLIPS: The actual scarab beetle in ancient Egyptian was called something that means "he that comes from nowhere." 实际圣甲虫在古代埃及时被称作是“无从来处”的东西
Which is basically what the name Khepri means. 这也是凯布利名字的意义
"He comes from nowhere. He can make himself exist." 他来自于无，他使自己存在
NARRATOR: Much like the scarab emerging from its cocoon, 有很多象圣甲虫一样从茧中孵化出的生物
the Egyptians believed a mummified body could rise from its sarcophagus as a transformed being, and live once again. 埃及人相信木乃伊身体得到转化后会从石棺上升起后再生
MAGLIOCCO: Part of the soul was inexorably attached to the body, 有一部分灵体会无情地附于尸体上
so in order for that part of the soul to live on in the afterlife, 因此为了它能够生活在下一生
the body had to be preserved as closely as possible to the way that it had existed in life. 身体需要尽可能地紧密保藏起来，让它能够在一下世继续生活
KRITSKY: The idea of the Egyptian soul is so alien from our own that it's-it's difficult to put parallels on. 埃及灵魂学说与现代学说如此相关，我们很难把二者平行起来
For example, the Egyptians concept of the soul had five parts... the Ba and the Ka are two in particular. 比如，埃及的灵魂概念分为五个部分，Ba和Ka是二个主要部分
And part of their mythology was that the Ba must return to the body, enter the body, so that the body can rise and live again. 一部分神话说Ba必须回到人体，进入到体内，因此身体可以升起复活
DAVID CHILDRESS: It's possible that the mummification process was some kind of replication of this process that the extraterrestrials went through. 有可能木乃伊化过程就是某种外星人经历过程的复制
And even the possibility that the mummies themselves were going into some kind of larval stage 甚至有可能木乃伊们自己也要穿越幼虫阶段
and suspended animation where they would emerge eventually into some kind of new body like the extraterrestrials did. 假死，他们会出现在一些新的身体内，就像外星人所做的
NARRATOR: While the scarab dominates Egyptian symbolism, 当圣甲虫在埃及成为象征时
another beetle common to this part of the world, the buprestid beetle, 另一个甲虫—吉丁虫也被人类熟悉
has a direct tie to the Egyptians most important god...Osiris. 它与埃及最重要的神奥西里斯有着直接的关系
KRITSKY: Buprestid beetles, 吉丁虫
when bothered by a predator, actually tuck their legs up and lie perfectly still. 当被捕食者追踪时，会抱着它们的腿一动不动
And the way they hold their limbs is very similar to the way Osiris would be represented in some tomb paintings. 四肢的样子非常像一些古墓壁画上奥西里斯的样子 【觉醒字幕组】远古外星人第6季：外星人和昆虫视频翻译
Well, it turns out the buprestid beetle is found in the tamarisk wood, and that is the wood that comes from a tree that was part of the Osiris legend. 原来柽柳中发现的是吉丁虫。这种木头来自于奥西里斯传说中的一颗树木
Actually becomes the Djed pillar. 最终演化为节德柱
And when, uh, Isis split this pillar, she found Osiris inside, 当伊西斯劈开这棵柱子，她发现了奥西里斯
and this beautiful beetle inside, 里面还有吉丁虫
and so it's quite possible that this beetle may have a relationship to the mummification process. 因此非常有可能甲虫与木乃伊化过程有关
NARRATOR: But does the Ancient Egyptian worship of a beetle really suggest an encounter with insect-like extraterrestrials? 但古埃及人崇拜甲虫是不是真的遇到过甲虫状的外星人？
Could they be mimicking misunderstood technology? Or might there be another explanation? 他们是在模仿被误解的技术？还是有另一种解释？
Perhaps further clues can be found in the numerous ancient stories of Ant People. 可能我们在大量的古代蚁人故事中会发现更多的线索
NARRATOR: Cambridge University, England. 2013. 2013年 英格兰 剑桥大学
Using a high-speed camera with intense magnification, 用高速照相技术会大倍率地放大被照物
scientists from the department of zoology record the movement of a plant-hopping insect called Issus. 动物学系的科学家们记录了寄居植物内的昆虫—伊苏斯的活动
Examining the footage, they make a shocking discovery. 观察这些连续的镜头，他们发现的结果令人震惊
The movement of the Issus is powered by mechanical gears. 它的运动通过机械传动强健有力
It is the world's first evidence of mechanical gearing in a biological structure. 这是世界第一个在生物结构中发现机械传动的证据
This natural cog mechanism allows the Issus to make powerful jumps, 自然钝齿原理让伊苏斯产生非常有力的跳跃
with the gear teeth on the opposing hind-legs locking together like those in the gearbox of a car, 齿轮齿在相对的后腿部位被连接在了一起，就像汽车变速箱
ensuring almost complete synchronicity of leg movement. 它能保证腿部运动的同步性
But how did a biological entity develop mechanisms that appear manmade? 但生物体进化机制怎么看起来像是人造的？
KRITSKY: Insects are essentially evolution's Tinkertoy set. 昆虫从根本上看是演化的万能工匠
Insects were the first animal group to evolve the ability to fly on their own power. 它们是第一个动物团体演化出了依自身力量的飞行能力

They were incredibly successful, well before the age of the dinosaurs, and a long time before humans. 它们在恐龙与人类出现取得了难以置信的成功
IAN RECCHIO: About half of the living creatures on the planet belong to the group of insects. 行星上大约有一半的昆虫都属于集体性昆虫
They've really found ways to inhabit just about every ecological niche in nature. 他们能够找到自己在自然中生态环境的栖息地
They have compound eyes, which, in some cases, they can see into the, uh, ranges that humans cannot, like ultraviolent. 它们有复眼，在某些情况下，他们可以看到人类肉眼看不到的范围，比如极端暴力
KRITSKY: They have a very sophisticated sensory system that makes them different from what we can perceive. 它们拥有着极其复杂的感知系统，与我们的不同
For example, insects taste, smell, and feel with the hairs on their body. 比如，昆虫会用自己的体毛尝、闻和感觉
When they land on you, they're smelling you, they're tasting you, they're feeling you. 当落在你身上，它们可以闻你的气味，品尝并感觉你
There are upwards of a million species of insects evolved so far. So, we may think of ourselves as being special, 有超过百万种昆虫都会这样，我们曾认为人类非常独特
but in reality, insects are the most successful animal group that's ever evolve 但事实上，昆虫才是世界上进化的最成功的动物群体
NARRATOR: In the more than 400 million years that insects are believed to have existed, no bug has thrived more than the ant. 昆虫存在了有40亿年，小虫却没有蚂蚁那么耐活
KRITSKY: Ants are among the most successful animal groups that we see on the face of the Earth. 蚂蚁在成功的昆虫集体之列，我们可在地表看到它们
One out of every four individual animals on the face of the Earth is an ant. 地表每四个个体动物中就是有一个是蚂蚁
Ants are incredible insects. And they're highly evolved. 蚂蚁是惊人的昆虫，它们得到高度的进化
NARRATOR: In size and appearance, ants and humans could not be more different. But interestingly, in many ways, 在尺寸和外观上，蚂蚁和人类太多的不同，但有趣的是，在很多方面
these tiny bugs are more like us than any other creature in the animal kingdom. 这些小虫比任何其他动物王国的动物都更像我们
KRITSKY: Ants have a social system where they have a division of labor. 蚂蚁有社会结构，在其中有不同社会的分工
You have a reproductive queen. You have males that will mate with the queen. 有一个会生殖的蚁后，有很多的雄蚁与蚁后配对
You have sub-reproductives that can leave the colony and start new colonies. 如果有超级的生殖能力，那么它可以离开殖民地，再开拓新的领域
Then you've got a series of workers. 之后拥有了一系列的工蚁
And then there specialized workers that are soldiers, 之后，熟练的工蚁可以成为工蚁
that can actually protect the colony if they're under attack. 在受到攻击时，可以保护属地
So, they're rather, uh, intriguing with regard to their behavior. 因此它们的行动与谋略有关
NARRATOR: But how is it that the behavior of ants mirrors that of humans in so many ways? 但蚂蚁的行动为何在很多方面折射出了人类的行为？
Is it simply coincidence? Or could ants and humans be more closely related than we think? 这只是个简单的巧合么？蚂蚁和人类比我们想像的有着更多的相关性么？
Ancient Greece. In both Homer's Iliad and Ovid's Metamorphoses, 古希腊，在荷马的《伊里亚特》和奥维德的《变形记》里

He awakes the next morning to find his dream has come true. 第二天醒来时，他发现他的梦成真了
YOUNG: The story of the Myrmidons is that they were ants made into warriors. 忠实的跟随者讲述的是蚂蚁变勇士的故事
They were said to have fought with Achilles at Troy and they were very effective. 据说他们与阿基里斯在特洛伊作战，非常勇猛
BARA: The descriptions of the ant people are very, 蚁人的描述依照蚂蚁的行为来说
very accurate in terms of the behavior of the insect... the ant itself. 非常的精确
They were very loyal, they moved together as one, 它们非常忠诚，在一个行动高度一致
almost at a hive mentality. 几乎在一个蜂巢的心态
KRITSKY: The Myrmidons were thought to be the first to develop ships, and to sail under their own power. 忠诚的追随者据说是第一批造船，并在它们自己的力量下航海的人
This ability to be organized like an army, comes from ants marching in a nice linear fashion. 这个能力就像军队一样被有序管理，来自于蚂蚁排成队列行军一样
The ea about being the first to sail comes from the ant's ability to raft. 第一批航海的人，来自于蚂蚁乘筏的能力
Ants will get on the surface tension of water and lock legs, 蚂蚁会运用水表面张力锁定自己的腿

manufactured by an alien being? 它们由外星人创造
Ancient astronaut theorists claim further evidence that ants may have a connection to extraterrestrials can be found in stories throughout numerous cultures. 远古外星人理论学者们认为，蚂蚁与外星人有关的证据可以在贯穿全人类的众多文化中找到
In the Muslim holy book, the Quran, there is a story of ants speaking like humans. 在穆斯林的圣经《可兰经》中有一个故事，讲述的是是蚂蚁可以像人一样讲话

TSOUKALOS: If one explores the question of insectoid alien life... 如果探索昆虫外星人的生活
then my question is why not? 我的问题是，为什么不呢？
Because if life is pervasive throughout the entire universe then that life comes in all shape, size, and color. 因为如果生命在整个宇宙中如此的盛行，那么会有各种类型、大小和颜色的个体
So, the idea that insectoid aliens might exist is very possible to me. 因此昆虫外星人的存在对我来说非常的真实
However, I think the idea came from our ancestors witnessing physical features that made them look like ants or could be best described as ants. 否认如何，我想这个想法来自于我们的祖先曾见到过物质形态的动物，看起来像蚂蚁，或者被描述成蚂蚁
WILCOCK: If we look at the face of an ant, 如果我们观察蚂蚁的面部
we look at the head of an ant, we see large, buggy eyes widely spaced on the face, and a large head. 我们看到它的头，非常大而多的眼睛，在头部远远地隔开，还有一个大头
So this could be an illustration of people seeing beings like what we now call the Greys, 那些目击过的人们的图片，被我们称为灰人
and associating it with something that's familiar to them. 或者与之相似的某种东西
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the Ant People that appear in both Greek and Native American mythology were really Grey aliens? 有没有可以，出现在希腊和美国原着民神话中的蚁人就是灰人？
Or might they even be human-insect hybrids engineered by otherworldly beings? 或者他们甚至就是由他世界外星人制造出来的人蚁的混种？
Perhaps the answer can be found in the accounts of those who claim to have been victims of alien abductions. 看一下那些外星绑架案的受害者的描述，我们也许会找到答案
NARRATOR: The Kalahari Desert, South Africa. 南非的喀拉哈里沙漠
The indigenous people of this area, called the San, 这个地区的原住民叫SAN
represent one of the oldest existing populations on Earth, 代表了地球上存在的最古老的人口之一
with a culture that dates back approximately 80,000 years. 他们拥有近80000年的历史文化
According to the origin story of this ancient society, 按照他们社会的古代起源故事
the first humans were created not by traditional gods but by insects. 第一个人类不是被传统的诸神所创造，而是由昆虫创造的
MAGLIOCCO: According to the San people, the origin of humans lies with the praying mantis. 按照SAN人的传统，人类最原始的起源与螳螂有关
There once was a bee who was asked by a praying mantis to carry him across a raging river. And the bee did so. 曾有一个蜜蜂被螳螂邀请，带着它度过狂暴的河流，蜜蜂同意了
He carried the praying mantis across the river and deposited him on a leaf. 他带着螳螂穿过了河流，并放到一片叶子上
But before leaving, the exhausted bee left an egg inside the praying mantis and that egg is the source of all human beings. 但在离开前，精疲力竭的蜜蜂把一条腿给了螳螂，那条腿就是所有人类腿的起源
NARRATOR: But where did the San people get the idea that humans were created by a praying mantis? 但SAN人从哪里得到的人类由螳螂创造的想法？
Curiously, the San tradition also holds that a praying mantis gave early humans the gifts of language and fire. 好奇的是，SAN的传统说螳螂同样也给予早期人类语言和火种的礼物
And one of their most important gods, Cagn, 他们最重要的神祇之一Cagn
the creator of the world, often took the form of a mantis. 就是世界的创造者，看起来也是螳螂外形
YOUNG: The San people of South Africa had a fascinating theology. 南非的SAN人拥有非常神奇的技术

He could shape-shift and appear in a number of different forms... 可以变形成任何不同的形态
but was very fond of appearing as a praying mantis. 但非常喜欢变成螳螂
BARA: Cagn had a lot struggles on the planet Earth. Cagn在行星地球上有过很多战绩
There were many wars that were fought, and eventually he left the Earth by means of going up into the sky. 我们发现有有关他的很多战争，他离开地球进入天空
CHILDRESS: Another interesting thing about Cagn is that it's said that he created the Moon. 另一个有关他的趣事是他创造了月亮
And the San people do their planting because of phases of the Moon. SAN人按照月亮的周期种植
So you've got to wonder: is this praying mantis extraterrestrial god just some mythical figure, 因此我们怀疑：这个类似螳螂的外星神祇是一个虚构的形象？
or is he really a representation of some kind of real praying mantis insectoid alien that's come to Earth? 代表了某种真实存在的拜访地球的螳螂类外星人？
NARRATOR: Could the prominence of the praying mantis in San mythology suggest that their ancestors actually encountered such beings in the distant past? 在SAN神话中的螳螂显著之处是否说明他们的祖先真的在远古时代与这类存在遭遇？
Although most anthropologists regard these stories as fables, 虽然很多人类学家们认为这些故事只是寓言
some ancient astronaut theorists find it curious that the praying mantis is also a recurring image in reports of alien abduction. 但远古外星人理论学者们发现，螳螂在外星人绑架案报告中是经常出现的形象

one much taller and with the features of a praying mantis. 非常高的类似螳螂的动物
O'BRIEN: Very stand-alone, very odd case. 非常独立而奇怪的案例
The fact that this occurred in 1963 is very intriguing, because it's before the abduction phenomenon became popularized. 1963年发生的这个事实非常有趣，因为它发生在普高的绑架现象发生之前
JASON MARTELL: There have depictions throughout various abduction scenarios that include the Grey aliens and this larger, 不同的绑架案有不同的描述，包括灰人和这个非常大
tall insectesoid being, very praying mantis-like. 非常高类似昆虫的存有，非常像螳螂
NARRATOR: Linda Porter claims that throughout her teens and 20s, 琳达 波特说在10-20岁的这段时间
she experienced numerous other encounters with these alien beings... 她遇到了很多此类外星人
but it wasn't until the age of 45 that she finally reached out to investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe to tell her story. 但直到45岁，她最终遇到调查记者琳达 莫尔顿 豪，并把自己的经历讲述给她
LINDA MOULTON HOWE: I received a letter, carefully written, from Linda Porter. 我接到一封信，琳达 波特写得很仔细
This led up to her sending me a whole lot of drawings. 慢慢地，她画了一大堆画给我
NARRATOR: These drawings appear in Linda Moulton Howe's book Glimpses of Other Realities. 这些画在琳达 莫尔顿 豪的书《外星世界一瞥》中出现
