there's no end to how deep this whole ancient astronaut rabbit hole goes. they say, if this theory is true, then these aliens would have had technologies far beyond anything we could even imagine. supposedly, with these technologies, they've been able to control us in every way, for as long as the human race has been around. and one part of that technology is said to be mind control devices, which can even incite hallucinations...causing us to think we 'see' things, 'hear' things, and that there's some supernatural force around us. and those things keep us locked into the christian theory that's been provided as truth for us. so we wouldn't know the truth of who our creators really were

i definitely believe there is other intelligent life in the universe, but not sure whether i believe they have visited earth due to the vast distances involved and despite scientists theories saying possible, i cant get my head around wormholes and time travel theories so its impossible for them to get here
i dont believe "God" has ever spoken to anyone on Earth at all, its voices in the head every time. But, if the God myth IS true then I believe it is alien civilizations making contact. If a news story broke tomorrow and the world was made aware of undeniable evidence of alien civilisations visiting us throughout history, this would be epic. I would feel completely different, it would be like the matrix |

also Roswell incident is well known and talked about
but i have always wondered 2 things about that a) if the aliens are so advanced, how did they "crash" in the first place??? epic alien fail to get all that way and then crash b) supposedly the massively long runways are for alien ships, but wouldnt alien ships take off vertically??? |

believing in life on other planets is completly different from believing they have visited us. I think it's entirely possible there is life out there but with out any hard evidence I don't believe they have been here.
I have even had an alien encounter and choose to believe it must have been in my head because there was no evidence of it the next day and no other witnesses. I have seen ghosts too and I don't believe in them either my point is I can see no reason why aliens would visit us all these years without leaving some good evidence about it other than human experience. The human mind is very complex and will trick us easily. |

If aliens are aware of us and want to explore the planet the first thing the will do is send unmanned probes. No evidence of them but plenty of 'little green men' style encounters. Makes you think.

I am always astonished by the willingness of some people to accept these outlandish theories without one iota of evidence.
These theories are put forward by unqualified quacks like Von Daniken (who by the way, has been thoroughly discredited) and accuse those scholars and scientists who have actually studied and worked in their fields of being frightened to accept idiotic notions and concepts. None of their work has been peer reviewed. I suppose it could not be either as it goes against the scientific method. Instead of trying to find evidence that disproves their theories (as real scientists do) all they do is twist and invent "evidence" to fit in with their preconceived notions. They are the closed minded ones in that respect. They have already made up their minds and no end of counter evidence will make them change it. In that way, they are the same as the Creationists. To pretend science is narrow minded and closed to such theories is to misunderstand how science works and the whole idea of submitting results and evidence to testing and peer review. Quite frankly it is an insult to our ancient ancestors to attribute all of their great achievements to bloody aliens. Anyone interested in this tom foolery should seek out Ronald Story's excellent book "The Space Gods Revealed". It is a tour de force in debunking this utter nonsense, written by a guy who actually understands the issues, has studied them and knows something about science and history.

There is a wealth of evidence right in front of you. People like you arent going to be happy until one of them comes round for coffee. Also to believe the **** that roiswell was a balloon is just ridiculous. GUYS seriously Google 'the disclosure project' Its a not for profit scheme in which HUNDRED of EX government officials have sworn under oath that the american government has hidden the truth of ET visitation!! Its all there. The fact someone on here has had an ET experience and a ghost experience and chosen not to believe it still is astonishing. Why would you not believe your own eyes! the trouble is when hard evidence such as pictures, videos, accounts are put in front of you the first thing you do is scream FAKE! How in the hell r you ever gonna be convinced. R you trying to tell me that al these millions of pictures and videos are fake and everyone who ever had aclose encounter is a liar. To me that smacks of arrogance and is also ridiculous. Skeptics will never be convinced! EVER! Simply because their logic will never accept a parent would lie to a child (government lie to its people)

It's all well and good calling other people narrow-minded, but you don't seem very open to the highly probable idea that it's a load of bullshine either.

"Quite frankly it is an insult to our ancient ancestors to attribute all of their great achievements to bloody aliens."
I think most creation myths are insulting for the same reasons. I started writing a novel on the topic but realized terms like "unfalsifiable hypothesis" "confirmation bias" would probably sound like Japanese. I blame education: specifically science and math. And people don't read enough non-fiction. And most people don't read at all. |

Elliebrew, I believe that governments lie to people all the time. That is the nature of politics and a different question to the one about aliens having a significant input in the origin and history if the human race.
By the way, this is a subject I am very familiar with and as yet I have not seen one piece of convincing evidence that supports the idea of aliens as having been influential in our history. I would like to ask what qualifications, expertise and research experience the propagators of these outlandish theories have and if any of their work has been peer reviewed by other experts in the fields of archeology, anthropology, ancient art, astronomy, or any of the other scientific or artistic disciplines. You are the one making the claims, it is up to you to produce the evidence and just remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I don't mean this in a patronising way but you damn yourself out of your own mouth when you say "Why would you not believe your own eyes!" Our eyes and brains often deceive us. Just take a look at some of the better known optical illusions used in psychological experiments. Our eyes are clearly not reliable in interpreting the world. Are you really so naive as to think that when you put a stick into water that part of the stick under the water actually bends? Our eyes tell us it does so you must believe it does, otherwise you must concede that our senses can deceive us and that my friend has drastic consequences for ghostly apparitions. They just might originate in us rather than the "spirit world". As I say, I would be very interested to learn of the qualifications and expertise the people proposing these inanities have in the subjects they choose to pontificate about and at the same time disparage the real scholars who dedicate their lives to research and the pursuit of knowledge..

Your thoughts on this are interesting, and you're not alone in thinking them. And this explanation isn't any more ridiculous than any of the organised, patriarchal religions. No one knows for sure. Someone thinking that aliens wouldn't come here because Earth is such a horrible place hasn't seen some of the staggering beauty in the world or known the lengths some humans will go to in order to be kind.

But, all we are asking for is evidence. Not a litany of anecdotes or half truths or inaccurate quotes from ancient texts and unqualified interpretations of ancient art.
