Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on IHeart Radio.

Welcome back to Coast to Coast A.M.

I'm Ryan Reker, your host tonight, and we're joined by filmmaker Dean Elioto.

You can find him online, his new movie, The Alien Perspective, a two-part documentary, alienprospectivemovie.com.

Dean, I'm already getting a lot of email, so I think we're going to get some good calls next hour.

Can I ask you, part of the documentary that was really interesting to me, you talked to a woman who was welcomed to the Vatican to look at some of their archives.

You said that, or she said rather, as part of the documentary, that she was down there with guards.

They wanted to make sure that one, nothing was damaged, but two, nothing was taken, and there was no photographs taken.

I would think that type of access is once in a lifetime for many different journalists.

And to me, that's really fascinating.

It makes me wonder what kind of things you would search for if you were given access to any archive.

Because a lot of different ideas you bring up as part of the documentary

about the film you go in different directions what's the one thing you would start searching for

if you had unlimited access wow um well uh first of all that was um professor of religious studies

dr diana pesulka, who's in our documentary,

Life Beyond Earth. She was granted that permission because she was a religious studies scholar.

She was the first woman, I believe, to be able to go into the Vatican's secret archives.

And so that was kind of a huge tipping point for that.

If I could go, well, first of all, I want to know what sections they have.

You know, I'd probably go because I know they they do have an extraterrestrial program it's now
