5,000 years ago, the Sumerians carved stories of sky gods — powerful beings they claimed descended from the heavens and shaped human civilization. Known as the Anunnaki, these mysterious figures have fueled ancient astronaut theories for decades. Were they gods, myth, or something else entirely?
Fast forward to 2004. Off the coast of California, U.S. Navy pilots encountered the now infamous Tic Tac UFOs — objects that defied physics, moved at impossible speeds, and outmaneuvered the most advanced aircraft in the world. The Pentagon has since released declassified UFO footage, confirming the encounters as genuine UAP events.
Two stories. Separated by 5,000 years. Yet the descriptions are eerily similar. Did the Sumerian Sky Gods and the Tic Tac UFOs come from the same source? Could the visitors described in ancient texts be the same ones flying in our skies today? Or are we seeing history repeat itself in ways we still don’t understand?
In this episode of Fireside Mysteries, we connect the dots between ancient alien encounters and modern UFO disclosure. We’ll explore what the Sumerians actually wrote, break down the Navy pilot testimony, and investigate whether today’s UAP revelations are confirmation of a truth humanity has known all along.
👉 What do you think? Were the Tic Tac UFOs brand new — or proof that the “sky gods” never left?
