The story of the human race is a story of technology.

One of our ancestors created fire and passed that knowledge along to the next generation. Then the invention of the wheel. Then agriculture, a writing system, mathematics, space travel.

Within our story, empires rise and fall. Technology progresses. Civilizations are born and die. The human race continues to innovate.

All of our innovations are built on previous ones. There could be no aqueduct without the arch. There could be no metal plow until someone learned how to mine iron. There could be no light bulb, no smart phone and no computer without first understanding electricity.

Our progress is linear. It's orderly.

But sometimes an object is discovered that's completely out of place and out of time.

A computer found on a sunken Roman ship. A power plant found in a 100,000 year old cave. Evidence of a nuclear reactor from over a billion years ago.

These objects shouldn't exist. But they do.

Their existence violates the natural order of human progress.

So if humans didn't create these items, who did?

The Book of Revelation says the end of the world will be announced with the sound of seven trumpets. Each blowing of the trumpet brings a new apocalyptic event. After the seventh trumpet: armageddon.

For centuries, people have reported low-frequency hums, the crack of thunder on a clear day and the sound of cannon-fire in the middle of nowhere.

Mysterious sounds have been heard at the bottom of the ocean and in outer space. And they’ve been heard long before modern machines and industry.

Recently, people have been recording and sharing videos of these loud, unnatural sounds.

And some of them? They sound a lot like trumpets.

In July 2008, the carcass of an animal washed up on the beach at Montauk Point Long Island. Local beachcombers are used to seeing dead animals. Seagulls, fish, crabs, even the occasional whale. But they had never seen anything like this.

Animal experts were brought in to identify it. They were stumped. It looked like part dog, part reptile and part rodent - with the beak of a bird. This animal, whatever it was, became known as the Montauk Monster.

But where did the Monster come from?

There could be only one answer. Plum Island.

Plum Island is just a few miles from where the monster was found.

Locals had heard rumors that this was a top-secret government facility that created bioweapons, engineered animal hybrids and maybe even experimented on people.

Sounds like a wild theory.

But then another animal washed up on the beach. Again, it couldn't be identified. And then another animal. And then two more.

In 2010, the *rumors* about Plum Island seemed to be true when something else was found on the beach. This time it wasn't a strange animal. It was a body. A human body.

Well... it was almost human.
