The episode proposes that alien visitations have occurred around the globe, and cites as evidence, claims that the Dogon people were given galactic knowledge by a star god the Hopi and Zuni celebrations of Kachinas (or "gods from the sky") who are symbolized with headdress that are said to resemble modern space helmets and that the Chinese Huangdi was a Han leader who came to Earth on a yellow dragon which is suggested to have been a metaphor for a spaceship. This episode suggests that aliens made contact with primitive humans, and cites as evidence, Indian Sanskrit texts that are suggested to describe flying machines called Vimanas Egyptian megaliths that are said to show precision cutting work thought to be too advanced for the time and Jewish Zohar writings that are said to describe a "manna machine" similar to chlorella algae processing of today. The pilot presents the views of author Erich von Däniken who theorized that advanced beings from another world visited primitive humans, gave them the knowledge of the solar system, concepts of engineering and mathematics, and became the basis for their religions and cultures, evidenced (as he claims) by many ancient monuments around the world, such as the Nazca Lines, the Pyramids of Giza and the Moai statues of Easter Island.
