Mysteries about ancient aliens that brought civilization to earth, be it via direct manipulation of evolution or introduction of new technologies, have always amazed a large number of people. Although there do exist writings about these ancient beings, without any real proof, people continue to question if aliens really did walk on this planet, once upon a time.

So the question here remains, “Do aliens exist?”

When viewed in a logical way, it is not too difficult to believe in the existence of other beings in a different planet. Even here on Earth, there are a variety of beings, some only just recently discovered. Others earthlings could be still undiscovered up until now. And the same could apply to beings on other planets.

Ancient Aliens

The idea about ancient aliens has been around since the middle of the 19th century. The idea first gained widespread exposure with the 1968 publication of Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Daniken.

The book states that the human population was influenced by extraterrestrials that visited Earth in the past, which can be seen through the ruins found in various places such as Sumeria. The basic idea was that the aliens were directly involved in the evolution of primates to humans which was achieved through genetic engineering, cross breeding, or a combination of both, which led to the development of human culture, technologies and religion.

This concept is related to the religious practice of a cargo cult. It is believed that the extraterrestrials tricked the human population into believing they were Gods, creating religion to help people evolve more efficiently.

The zoo hypothesis backs up the theory of why aliens generally avoid making direct contact with people, or avoid exerting an influence on development, almost similar to zookeepers observing animals in the zoo, or experimental scientists observing a study of life. Adherents of this hypothesis feel that Earth and humans are secretly observed using equipments on Earth or elsewhere in the Solar System.

Angels and Demons

The idea of ancient aliens has brought about the religion Raelism. The Raelism Movement teaches that life on earth was scientifically created by extraterrestrials, called Elohim. Known as the largest UFO religion in the world, Raelians believe messengers, or prophets of Elohim include Buddha, Jesus and many others who informed humans of each era.

Another religion that developed based on ancient aliens is Thelema, sometime during the 20th century. Written by Aleister Crowley, who believed he was the prophet of a new age, it was based on his religious experiences in Egypt, 1904, where he received direct dictation from an entity named Aiwass. Their ethical code makes known that Thelemites should seek out and follow their own True Will rather than their ego’s desires.

Men in Black

The Men in Black are men or aliens, dressed in black suits who have been reported to harass or threaten UFO witnesses to keep them quiet about what they have seen. In most cases, the men claim to be government agents, but it is often suggested that they are aliens themselves.

Modern Technical Advancement

During WWII, the term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots to describe the various UFOs and mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over both the European and Pacific Theater of Operations. In the wake of the war, the world entered an era of substantial achievement and technical advancement.

One such example is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, which is a United States aircraft that was developed in the early 1960s. The SR-71 Blackbird is a strategic reconnaissance aircraft that currently holds the air speed record. In 1903, Wilbur Wright set the aircraft speed record going 6.82 mph (10.98 km/h). In 1976, the SR-71 Blackbird went 2,193.2 mph (3,529.6 km/h). The craft was manned by Eldon W. Joersz during the record flight, but is highly capable of taking off and landing unassisted.

Proponents of the ancient alien theory have suggested that the development of nuclear weapons sparked an increased interest in humanity’s evolutionary path, ultimately leading to an era of mass abductions and close encounters. Some others point to the current global climate disruption and apocalypse predictions, identifying them as a precursor for the secret extraterrestrial involvement and intervention on Earth, ensuring the survival of life.

Angel Hair

Angel hair or siliceous cotton is a substance that is said to be dispersed from UFOs as they fly overhead. It is named for its similarity to fine hair, or spider webs. One theory is that it is ionized air sleeting off an electromagnetic field. Reports of angel hair say that it disintegrates or evaporates within a short time of forming.

The most reported incidence occurred in Oloron, France in 1952. In the Portuguese city of Evora on November 2, 1959, angel hair was collected and analyzed with microscopes by a local school director and later by armed forces technicians and scientists of the University of Lisbon. Conclusions were not possible although it was formed, apparently, by a small organism featuring 10 arms stretching out from a central core. It was advanced that it could be a single celled organism.

Beginning in the 14th century, humans began to mention a gelatinous substance named star jelly. Star jelly is described as a translucent or grayish white gelatin, which tends to evaporate shortly after falling. In the past, the substance was connected with meteor showers. Angel grass is a related phenomenon that occurs when short metallic threads fall to the ground in intertwined loosed masses. However, angel grass is an explained occurrence and comes from certain military aircraft. It is a type of Chaff, used as a radar counter-measure.

Greys

Greys are a proposed alien species that is most widely associated with the alien abduction phenomenon. Named for their skin color, it has been alleged that Greys are intelligent extraterrestrials who visit Earth and secretly perform medical experiments on humans.

Paranormal claims surrounding the Greys are different in many ways, including their nature, moral dispositions, intentions and physical appearances, some having a different skin color. A composite description derived from overlap claims would have Greys as small bodied, sexless beings with smooth grey skin, an enlarged head and large eyes. They are described as humanoid beings that possess reduced forms of, or a completely lack of, external human organs such as noses, ears or sex organs.

People have described the Greys as staring into their eyes when conducting mental procedures. This staring, which is performed directly in your face, is claimed to induce hallucinogenic states or directly provoke different emotions. According to English reproductive biologist Jack Cohen, the typical image of a Grey, given that it would have evolved on a world with different environmental and ecological conditions from Earth, is too physiologically similar to a human to be credible as an alien species. This brings us to the theory that these extraterrestrial beings had some influence on the evolution of life on Earth in the distant past, or that they are an ancient race of humans that was forced to abandon Earth, but still watches over the planet.

Animal Mutilation

Cattle mutilation is a term that has been adopted to describe the apparent killing, and then mutilation, of cattle under unusual or anomalous circumstances. Sheep and horses have also been mutilated, and the phenomenon is not specific to cattle. A hallmark of these incidents is the surgical nature of the mutilation. The surgical procedure is precise, with no obvious entry point, and surgically removal of reproductive organs and anal coring is constant.

The first largely reported case of mutilation occurred near Alamosa, Colorado, in 1967. The event involved a horse named Lady, who was discovered with her head and neck skinned. The cuts on the horse were very precise and no blood was found. At the scene, fifteen tapering, circular exhaust marks were punched into the ground. Similar to other cases of animal mutilation, the area surrounding Lady showed an increase in radiation levels. By the mid 1970s, mutilated cattle were reported in 15 US states and in many other areas all over the world.

Many of the accounts include unexplained lights, sounds and UFOs. It has been noted that mutilated cattle are avoided by large scavengers, several days after death. Similarly, domestic animals are reported to be visibly agitated and fearful of the carcass. Laboratory reports carried out on some of these animals have shown unusually high or low levels of vitamins or minerals in tissue samples, and the presence of chemicals not normally found in animals.

Various hypotheses have been written, suggesting that cattle mutilations have been committed by aliens who are gathering genetic material for unknown purposes. Proponents of the ancient alien theory suggest that, as cows make up a significant part of the global human diet, a study is being carried out on this element of the human food chain.

Spaceship Moon Theory

Also known as the Vasin-Shcherbakov Theory, the Spaceship Moon Theory is a pseudoscientific theory that claims the Earth’s moon may actually be an alien spacecraft. Over the years, it has been scientifically observed that the Earth’s Moon holds some strange characteristics. The Moon is the 5th largest natural satellite in the Solar System. It is believed to have been created by a giant impact between the young Earth and a Mars-sized body. After examination, it has been noted that the Moon is apparently in the wrong orbit for its size, according to its current assumed density. Astronomy data indicates that the internal regions of the Moon are less dense than the outer, giving rise to the inevitable speculation that it could be hollow. Some of these claims come from the fact that when meteors strike the Moon, it rings like a bell. More specifically, when the Apollo crew, on November 20, 1969, released the lunar module, after returning to the orbiter, the module impact with the Moon caused their seismic equipment to register a continuous reverberation like a bell for more than an hour.

The moon is far older than previously expected, maybe even older than the Earth or the Sun. The oldest age for the Earth is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old, while Moon rocks were dated at 5.3 billion years. The chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks sit is remarkably different from the rocks themselves. This indicates that the lunar surface may have been moved from somewhere else and placed on the Moon. Some of the Moon’s craters originated internally, yet there is no indication that the Moon was ever hot enough to produce volcanic eruptions. Hundreds of moonquakes are recorded each year that cannot be attributed to meteor strikes. Some of the quakes seem to follow a specific schedule.

The moon’s crust is much harder than originally presumed. When NASA was recorded drilling down a few inches into the Moon’s surface, it appeared that metal shavings were visible. Earth’s moon is the only natural satellite in the Solar System that has a stationary, near-perfect circular orbit. How does one explain the coincidence that the moon is just the right distance, coupled with just the right diameter, to completely cover the sun during an eclipse? Professional astronomers have been gradually discouraged from investigating a phenomenon that has been reported on the Moon for 1,000 years. It is short-lived light, color, or other changes in the appearance of the lunar surface, referred to as Transient Lunar Phenomena.

Solway Firth Spaceman

Val Camonica, Italy, is one of the largest valleys of the central Alps, in eastern Lombardy. It is the location of a set of ancient paintings that are believed to depict forgotten deities. The pictures resemble modern day astronauts, despite being painted around 10,000 BC. On May 23, 1964, Jim Templeton, a firefighter from Carlisle, Cumberland, took three pictures of his five-year-old daughter while on a day trip to Burgh Marsh, situated near Burgh by Sands and overlooking the Solway Firth in Cumbria, England.

In the second image captured by Templeton, a white figure can be seen in what looks like a space suit. Templeton insists that he did not see the figure until after his photographs were developed, and analysts at Kodak confirmed that the photograph was genuine. To this day, the picture remains unexplained and a source of international fascination. When the picture was taken, in 1964, human space suits were in their extreme infancy. It has been suggested by some people that the figure is merely someone with their back to the camera, perhaps wearing a hat or helmet.

Upon the national release of the photograph, Jim Templeton claimed that he was visited by two men who, he says, came from Her Majesty’s Government. The men tried to make Templeton admit that he had photographed a person, but he refused. Ufologists have used the photograph as evidence that extraterrestrial life has influenced the modern day space program, including space suits.
